The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke didn't retreat towards Kaiping Town during this time, because he still didn't know whether the enemy army was retreating towards Kaiping Town or not?So he didn't dare to take risks, so he took his men and horses to ambush on the only way to the north from Kaiping Town.And sent a large number of scouts to spy in the direction of Kaiping Town.

Just a few days ago, he finally got the news that a brigade of cavalry came from the direction of Kaiping Town and went to Zhangbei for reinforcements.

So Jia Ke took a part of his own soldiers and watched their formation carefully on the only way the team must pass.Only after looking at it did he realize that the other party was just bluffing, regardless of the huge amount of smoke and dust.But at night, there were very few bonfires raised.

The next day, Jia Ke sent someone to investigate again, and it was as expected.There are only a few earthen stoves dug in the Tatar camp, and it is not like the situation where soldiers are stationed.

Now that Jia Ke was standing on the slope to watch again, he was now completely sure that this army was just a cover-up.This is because the Tatar general wanted to deceive himself, making him think that the road back to Kaiping town was clear.Then he led a large group of people into his ambush circle all the way.How could Jia Ke fall for such a naive trick of his.

Since the Tartars came to die, why did he hesitate?Maybe there are still people in this army who know the whereabouts of Arslen Khan, and then he will be able to make up for the regret of not being able to meet last time.

Jia Ke immediately ordered that all the Manchu Eight Banners spread out in all directions to surround this partial division.

The Tatars didn't know what happened at all, and they followed Menghe's order to advance to Arslen Khan's new residence.Towards evening they camped at a waterhole.There was joy in the camp, and they didn't feel any danger.

At this time, Jia Ke was watching them silently from ten miles away, like a wolf quietly waiting for the prey to show its weakness.In the middle of the night, Jia Ke thought that the time had come, and immediately ordered the Eight Banners to launch an attack, while he himself was leisurely watching the scene on the hillside a few places away.

The Tatar camp was peaceful at first, but suddenly countless Manchu Eight Banners with torches burst out from all directions. In an instant, it turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Then there was the sound of shouting and killing, and the whole camp of Tatars was boiling. Jia Ke vaguely saw countless people rushing out of the big tent on the dirt hill, and then they were cut down again. This is not a war at all, but a war. Naked massacre.

The massacre only lasted for an hour, and the whole camp gradually quieted down. Then Jia Ke brought his own soldiers to the Tatar camp, and saw that the camp was in a mess, with corpses and bloodstains everywhere.

Jia Ke led the troops directly to the big tent of the Chinese Army, and saw that the inside had been cleaned up. Jirigla stood beside the big tent with a flattering face. As soon as he saw Jia Ke coming, he immediately went up to welcome Jia Ke into the big tent. .

And Jia Ke also sat in the big tent with peace of mind, waiting for the final news. As expected, these Tatars were indeed sent to reinforce Arslen Khan, and they also knew of Arslen Khan's situation. Location.

The purpose of their trip this time was as expected by Jia Ke, it was to attract Jia Ke's attention and make Jia Ke think that the Tatar army had begun to return to help.In order to deceive Jia Ke, let him enter the ambush set by the Tatars in Kaiping Town with peace of mind, and use this to catch Jia Ke.

This time, Jia Ke not only got the specific deployment situation of the Tatars, but also knew the location of Arslen Khan.The news made Jia Ke overjoyed, and now he finally knew where Arslen Khan was.Jia Ke decided to take another team to attack again, so as to see if Arslen Khan had three heads and six arms?He was able to escape his pursuit several times.

This time he did not lead all the troops, but selected the most elite 1 people from the Manchu Eight Banners, all of whom were one man and three horses. Jia Ke planned to launch a blitzkrieg for Arslen Khan.

Arslen Khan had already fled to the territory of the Chahar tribe, more than 300 miles away from Zhangbei, and in order to prevent Jia Ke from attacking again, he sent people to the nearby tribes to collect troops, hoping to gather some troops as much as possible .

But the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not so easy to gather people. In a few days, he only gathered a few thousand herdsmen from nearby.These herdsmen are old, weak and disabled soldiers.The real elites have gone south with the tribal leaders to rob.This made Arslen Khan full of disappointment.

Arslen Khan was already frightened now, and based on his understanding of Jia Ke.Unexpectedly, when Jia Ke found his trace once, he would definitely search for his location. This guy is not a person who gives up easily.This is Arslen Khan's analysis of Jia Ke's character after dealing with Jia Ke many times.

What Arslen Khan didn't expect was that he had always hoped that Meng He would lead his troops back to rescue, but Meng He came with a general who would not accept his orders. In order to eliminate Jia Ke, he dared not listen to his orders. ?Only a small group of troops were sent to pretend to be reinforcements, and most of the troops were still ambushing in the direction of Kaiping Town.

Although it is only the beginning of winter now, the grassland has become very cold. Although there is not much snowflakes floating today.

Arslen Khan hid in his big tent, feeling extremely lonely. He sent out to recruit nearby herdsmen to serve him, but only a small number of them have returned so far, and where are the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled brought back? Can withstand a charge of Jia Ke.

Although Arslen Khan also sent envoys to ask for help from his own tribe, but his own tribe is too far away from here, and it is impossible to reach his current position within dozens of days.Therefore, all his hopes were concentrated on Meng He.

Arslen Khan has spent these days in torment. He has not slept soundly in the past few days. Every day he will wake up from a nightmare. his head.He expects Meng He to bring people to rescue every day, but what he waits for is not Meng He's rescuers, but the Eight Banners troops that Jia Ke raided.

In the middle of the night, Arslen Khan felt a chill hit him for no reason.He has encountered this feeling several times, and each time is when his life is in danger.And the most recent one was when Jia Ke raided his Zhangbei camp a few days ago.

Arslen Khan didn't dare to hesitate any more at this time. He believed that there was nothing wrong with being careful, so he immediately ordered the troops to get ready and start moving.But they were still a bit late. They were just about to pack up when Jia Ke arrived with [-] cavalry.

From a distance, Jia Ke could see the eruption in Arslen Khan's camp, and all kinds of torches almost lit up half of the sky.When Jia Ke saw this situation, he knew that they were going to escape. At this time, Jia Ke admired Arslen Khan. This man's ability to escape is indeed great, and it is difficult to predict in advance that he is coming to attack.

But how could Jia Ke let the duck in its beak go, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.Jia Ke took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.

When Arslen Khan was getting ready to evacuate, he suddenly heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance.Arslen Khan is very sensitive to the sound of horseshoes. He was born and grew up in the grassland.You can tell how many horses there are by the sound of the hooves.

Arslen Khan now heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes, and judged that at least [-] to [-] cavalry were charging here.

Arslen Khan couldn't care about anything else at this time, and immediately got on his BMW, and he didn't care about his wives and concubines. Anyway, these women were also looted by him from various places. In this department, so these people don't care if they lose him.Arslen Khan took dozens of personal guards and fled as if in the dark of night.

When Jia Ke rushed into the Tatar camp, Arslen Khan had already run away.Jia Ke didn't know this situation. He led the cavalry to charge left and right in the Tatar camp, constantly looking for traces of Arslen Khan.

They didn't find it until daybreak, and finally found the wife and concubine abandoned by Arslen Khan in a large tent.Jia Ke hurriedly ordered people to take them down for questioning. Finally, the news from the soldiers was that Arslen Khan had fled in the snow before Jia Ke launched the attack.

Jia Ke couldn't help but lamented Arslen Khan's good luck, he was escaped by Arslen Khan in both sneak attacks.And Jia Ke didn't have time to carry it out, and made a surprise attack for the third time.

Not to mention whether he can find the trace of Arslen Khan, this winter that has come is enough for him.The most important thing for Jia Ke now is to bring the captive population and wealth back to Kaiping Town.

After Jia Ke couldn't find Arslen Khan, he took all the prisoners and headed for the scheduled assembly place.

Besides, after Arslen Khan escaped from Jia Ke's siege again, he didn't dare to stay any longer this time.He continued north and fled for a day and a night.Only then did they settle down again in a small tribe.

Arslen Khan was completely frightened this time, and at the same time, he was angry at Meng He's delay in coming to rescue.He once again sent a courier to order Meng He to bring troops down to support him, and at the same time sent a courier to his headquarters again, ordering the headquarters to send [-] cavalry to respond immediately.This is to prevent Meng He from disobeying orders again, and it is the backhand he left behind in the selection.

Meng He received Arslen Khan's order again five days later.This time Arslen Khan did not have the gentle tone of the last time, but ordered him to retreat immediately and go to reinforce him in a stern tone.

After Meng He understood the cause and effect of the messenger, he already knew it was not good.It seemed that Jia Ke had seen through his plot, and took advantage of the situation to kill the partial teacher he rescued, and obtained the exact location of Arslen Khan, so that he could easily attack Arslen Khan again.This time it was completely a mistake caused by his arrogance. He underestimated Jia Ke, and he also underestimated himself, which made him fall into a predicament this time.

Although Meng He was very unwilling, he knew that Jia Ke would be back soon.Because when winter came, Jia Ke would not be able to spend the winter in the grassland anyway, and winter would force him to return to Kaiping Town in the near future.

But this time Arslen Khan's order was very strict, and the tribes wanted to take the looted property this time back to the tribe for the winter.Moreover, they had been frightened by Jia Ke several times before, so after receiving Arslen Khan's order, they immediately pretended to be loyal ministers and filial sons, and forced Meng He to obey Arslen Khan's order.

Meng He could no longer suppress these tribes, otherwise, these tribes might disperse in the name of Arslen Khan's order.

Meng He once again looked at the grassland in the north of Kaiping Town, thinking in his heart that he would be fighting Jia Ke this time next year.

Chapter 190 Escort

On the fifth day after Meng He led the army to leave, Jia Ke returned to Kaiping Town from the northern grassland with his booty, two or three million taels of silver, and a population of 300+.

When Jia Ke came back this time, the whole town of Kaiping was a sensation.When Fan Kang came to greet him with all the civil and military personnel, he was too shocked to speak. He originally thought that Jia Ke would succeed this time.It's just an attack on some small tribes.It would be great to keep the Tatars at bay.Unexpectedly, Jia Ke's harvest was so rich.

Just seeing the fully loaded vehicles in Jia Ke's team, as well as the people following in the team who can't see the end, and the people who can't see the end, groups of cattle, sheep, and horses, you know that Jia Ke is here. One big win.

Surrounded by everyone in Jia Ke, and welcomed by the people and soldiers in Kaiping Town, he returned to the Commander's Mansion all the way.

Jia Ge didn't rest immediately after returning to the commander's mansion.Instead, a meeting of all generals in Kaiping Town was held immediately.

In the lobby of the command room, all the generals stood on the left and right, and the eight leaders of the Eight Banners also stood on one side of the lobby.The generals who accompanied Jia Ke this time made a lot of money one by one, so they naturally talked about it, showing off to their colleagues what they had gained in this expedition.And the infantry generals who didn't go out with Jia Ke next to him all had red eyes with envy.

Jia Ke went back to the inner house first, changed clothes and came back to the lobby. As soon as Jia Ke entered the lobby, the voices of the generals disappeared immediately, and they all stood on both sides with serious faces.

After sitting on the big chair in the middle, Jia Ke said to the people below: "We went north this time, and achieved very good results and achieved the expected goal. The Tatars had to withdraw their troops to deal with us, which eased the burden on the people. The pressure from the other passes on the Nine Borders is an explanation to the imperial court."

Then Jia Ke said: "All the soldiers who went out this time have to hand over half of what they have seized. The rest belong to the individual."

At this time, Jirigla couldn't help standing up and asking: "Master, we captured a lot of women this time. The young men in the clan are all anxious to marry their wives. They asked me to ask the master, when will these wives get married?" hair?"

When Jia Ke said this, he immediately laughed, "Jirigala is worried about you, I'm afraid you are thinking about your beautiful new wife."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, everyone below burst into laughter.

Jirigla scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally said: "Master, the boys in the clan really asked me to speak. They dare not deceive the master."

Jia Ke didn't make things difficult for him, but turned to Liu Yu next to her and said, "You are more familiar with the Manchu affairs, and the matter of assigning wives to each brother. Let you handle it."
