The eldest son of the red mansion

When Arslen Khan saw this, he tapped lightly on the table, and there was no sound at all while checking the account. This was a world of difference from Arslen Khan's constant need to maintain the discipline of the leaders.Now he is the real Great Khan of the Grassland, all the tribes in the grassland have their dispatches, and the appointment and dismissal of the leaders of the tribes in the grassland are all decided by him.

Arslen Khan looked at Battelle with a gloomy face and said, "I asked you to go out to support, why did you come back so soon? You also put yourself in such a mess."

Battelle knelt down in the big tent with a plop, and replied to Arslen Khan with shame on his face: "I am incapable to report to the Great Khan. I was defeated by the enemy just now. Please punish the Great Khan."

"Oh, you lost again? To whom did you lose this time?" Arslen Khan was very dissatisfied with him for compromising his own prestige, so he spoke a little eccentrically. Although Battelle had won many battles in the grassland, but Did not perform well in several southern invasions.

Battelle was ashamed by what Arslen Khan said, and he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with Arslen Khan. He also made a lot of contributions to Arslen Khan's wars.It was only a small defeat today, and he suffered such insults, regardless of his dedication during this period of time.

Although Battelle was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything. He lowered his head and said respectfully to Arslen Khan: "Khan, it's not that I don't want to do my best, but that I'm going out this time to touch It was Jia Ke who arrived, and I was really no match for him. I only dared to use our cavalry's horsemanship to fight him from a distance with a bow and arrow, but he overtook him. I fought him a few times, no? The opponent, so he was defeated and returned to the village."

Arslen Khan frowned when he heard his explanation.He is very familiar with this Jia Ke, this person is simply his nemesis, in his leading career, all the defeats were due to the confrontation with Jia Ke, and he is still afraid of this old opponent.

It's just that Arslen Khan didn't expect Jia Ke to rush to the capital so soon. It seems that this time the plunder near the capital is a bit troublesome.

If the other troops from the Southern Dynasty came with 80 or [-] troops, he would not pay attention to them.These troops under his command come and go when they want.But if Jia Ke came, whether it was attacking or retreating, there would be some troubles.

"Since it's Jia Ke, then I can't blame you. Go down and rest first." Arslen Khan knew that he was defeated by Jia Ke, so he didn't pursue it anymore. Victory, so Battelle can no longer be blamed.

Battelle rushed to Shane, with a look of gratitude, and then slowly exited the big tent. After getting out of the big tent, he turned around, stared at the big tent, and then quickly went back to his tent to rest up.

When Arslen Khan heard that Jia Ke had arrived in the tent, he became flustered and began to sigh.

Erdemutu, the high priest of the grassland sitting at the bottom, saw Arslen Khan like this, and asked, "Khan, I don't know what's bothering you, but tell me, maybe I can share your worries with him." .”

"The high priest doesn't know that the man who defeated Battelle just now is very skilled in martial arts, and his soldiers are extremely elite. I have fought with him several times and have been defeated. Today he will rescue the capital of the Southern Dynasty. I am afraid that I will return without success, so I will return again This sigh." Arslen Khan said helplessly.

Chapter 216

Erdemutu heard Arslen Khan's words, but he was conceited of his own wisdom and dismissed Jia Ke, so he said arrogantly: "It's just a common man with some courage. Why should the Khan treat him?" So fearful. In the future, I will use tricks to trap him, and it will be up to the Great Khan to decide whether to kill or capture him."

Arslen Khan was not happy when he heard this. If he said that others were brave, Arslen Khan might still believe it.But he had deeply learned Jia Ke's cunning, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated again and again.

For this high priest, Arslen Khan could not offend him. After all, this man held the divine spring on the grassland. Arslen Khan said perfunctorily to the high priest: "Since the high priest has a wonderful plan, it comes from the battle of Rijiake." It's up to the High Priest."

Erdemutu saw that Arslen Khan did not believe him, but he did not refute himself.He used to have a good relationship between Arslen Khan and the chiefs of the tribes in the grassland. As a result, Arslen Khan broke the grassland alliance and took all the power in the grassland into his own hands. If Tian's belief was unbreakable, Arslen Khan would have killed himself long ago.But even so, Arslen Khan's attitude towards himself was not as respectful as before.

This is also the time when the high priest actively followed Arslen Khan to the Southern Dynasty, hoping to make some contributions and regain the trust of the Great Khan.It's just that he thinks that now is not the time, and he will fight Jia Ke in a few days. He is offering a strategy, and Arslen Khan will definitely look at him with admiration.

After Arslen Khan finished talking with the high priest, he ordered the camp to step up its defenses to prevent being attacked by Jia Ke at night.Arslen Khan was afraid of being attacked by Jia Ke. In the previous few battles, Jia Ke would seize the opportunity to attack his camp every time, and he succeeded every time.This made Arslen Khan have to be careful.

Besides, after Jia Ke defeated Battelle, he found that the Tatars' defense was very tight and had lost the opportunity to attack, so he had to retreat.

Jia Ke led the cavalry to the city gate of the capital, and shouted to the above: "I am Jia Ke, the Jiedu envoy of Xuanfu Town, who was ordered by King Qin, and now lead the soldiers. Brothers in the city, quickly open the city gate and let us go." go in."

Just as Jia Ke finished shouting, the emperor on the top of the city heard it.Just now he was at the top of the city, watching Jia Ke lead the cavalry to fight the Tatar cavalry, and only the enemy who killed them fled.In just a short while, five or six thousand troops of the opponent were eliminated.I am very satisfied with Jia Ke in my heart, and I am also deeply impressed by Jia Ke's bravery.At that time, Jia Ke shouted loudly, and hurriedly said to Wang Ziteng next to him, "Hurry up and open the city gate and let Jia Aiqing in. I want to meet this brave young general."

Prince Teng has been in charge of the defense of the capital since the Tatars arrived at the foot of the capital.The past few days can be regarded as exhausting, not without a little slack.This is also because he is not optimistic about the soldiers of the Beijing camp under his command, you have to do it yourself, I am really afraid that there will be a little mistake.

As the military envoy of the Beijing camp, how could Wang Ziteng not know what kind of people he had under his command?If these people are said to bully the common people, they are all good hands.It is also said that it is a war, and these people have never seen them since they came out of the balcony.Not even as good as those soldiers in the south!Haolai also participated in the suppression of bandits several times and carried out several long-distance marches.

Now that Wang Ziteng saw Jia Ke coming, he was relieved.Finally, there is a team in the capital that can fight well, even if the Tatars attack the city now, they don't need to rely on those veteran soldiers.

When Wang Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the emperor's decree and hurriedly descended the city wall and came to the gate of the city. First, he gathered thousands of people and formed a formation at the gate of the city, in case the Tatars were attacked when the gate was opened. People came to attack.

After everything was ready, the soldiers were ordered to lift the Qianjin Gate, and then the city gate was opened, allowing the cavalry led by Jia Ke to enter the capital.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the city gate, he saw that the gate was heavily guarded. Thousands of people lined up to deal with sneak attacks at any time. Jia Ke couldn't help nodding when he saw this. The generals are still very good.Being able to remain vigilant at any time depends on this attitude. Even if Jia Ke does not come, the capital will not be in great danger.

While Jia Ke was thinking, a middle-aged Confucian general walked out from the opposite army. Although he was wearing a helmet and armor, his face was like white jade, with five willows and a long beard. He looked like a Confucian scholar.When the general saw Jia Ke, he said, "Does my nephew recognize my uncle?"

Jia Ke didn't know who he was, but he sounded like Wang Ziteng. Thinking of Jia Ke's low status in the capital, how could he be qualified to meet Wang Ziteng.But in terms of feudal etiquette, Jia Ke's uncle was Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing camp.

Since Jia Ke knew it was him, she didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly got off the horse and went to greet Prince Teng.In this era when feudal ethics control everything, there are some things that must not be missed.

"Nephew Jia Ke, I have seen Uncle here." Jia Ke knelt on one knee and saluted Prince Teng.

Wang Ziteng hurried forward a few steps to support him. Although Jia Ke is his nephew, he is now in a high position and authority. In terms of official rank, he is no longer inferior to him. In the future, he will need Jia Ke's support in the court.Therefore, they cannot be treated as ordinary juniors.

Wang Ziteng helped Jia Ke up and said with emotion: "My nephew is really a young hero. In just a few years, he has achieved a position that others can't do in a lifetime. It makes many veterans feel ashamed."

"I don't dare to be praised by my uncle. I just won a few victories by chance, and it was the emperor's blessing that made me what I am today." Jia Ke arched his hands and saluted in the direction of Zijin City.

When the two of them were reminiscing about the old days, they saw a eunuch coming down from the city tower, and it was Dai Quan, the chief eunuch. When he saw everyone, he shouted in a shrill and thin voice: "Which one is Jia Ke? The emperor wants See you, hurry up with our house."

Jia Ke stepped forward and replied, "This father-in-law, next to me is Jia Ke."

Dai Quan went over a large number of Jia Ke, and saw that Jia Ke's appearance was only average, but he had a heroic spirit, and as soon as he approached Jia Ke, he rushed to him and exuded a distinctive majesty. Even the senior members of the six ministries in the court did not have such awe-inspiring prestige. To be able to be an extremely personable minister at a young age, and to be appointed as a marquis and general, is indeed not a small skill.

Just now he could see clearly from the tower that this Jia Ke could come and go freely among the enemy army, which had never been seen among the generals of this dynasty.Moreover, this person won the emperor's special respect, so I can't offend him.

So Dai Quan said with a smile all over his face: "So this is the famous Shenwei General on the grassland. It's the first time we meet. Our family is polite here." After speaking, he bowed his hands to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke hurried back inside and said, "I don't know your father-in-law's name, how can this little reputation compare to your hard work in serving the emperor?"

Jia Ke didn't look down on eunuchs like people in this era. In fact, Jia Ke still had some respect for these eunuchs in his heart. These people were by the emperor's side all the year round, and they seemed to be just servants of the emperor.In fact, they are closer to the emperor than those ministers, and sometimes even a word or two unintentionally can determine the life or death of an important court official.Therefore, Jia Ke respected these eunuchs every time on the surface.

But everyone likes to listen to flattery, and Dai Quan is no exception.Hearing Jia Ke's words, I was very happy. Jia Ke's status doesn't have to be ordinary. He is a majestic Marquis of Wuyang. This kind of person treats him so respectfully. Do you think he can be unhappy?Compared with those ministers in the imperial court who don't take eunuchs like them seriously, Dai Quan now finds hyperthyroidism pleasing to the eye.

Dai Quan happily said to Jia Ke: "The emperor saw your performance on the tower, and now the emperor has asked me to invite you to meet him on the tower. Don't be afraid to see the emperor after a while, as long as you salute the emperor according to common sense good."

When Jia Ke heard his words, she said gratefully: "I only have some minor merits, and thanks to the emperor's grace, I am here today. Just now, I just defeated the Tatars. I was summoned by the emperor. I am really lucky."

Then Jia Ke said gratefully to Dai Quan: "It's rare for my father-in-law to give some pointers, so I can feel relieved when I go up again."

Dai Quan said some more polite words to Jia Ke, and brought Jia Ke to the tower.

On the city tower, there were two rows of civil and military ministers, and a five or sixty-year-old man was sitting on a big chair in the middle. This man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his majesty was awe-inspiring. It has been cultivated by Yuji Tianxia for decades.

Knowing that the person in the middle must be the emperor, Jia Ke hurriedly walked two steps forward, knelt on the ground and shouted long live according to the debtor's rights.

The emperor looked at the young general kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Are you Jia Ke, the envoy of Xuanfu Town?"

"Sir, it is Jia Ke."

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring with you when you came from Xuanfu Town?" This was what the emperor was most concerned about.

Jia Ke knelt down and lowered his head, carefully answering the emperor's question, "This time I brought a total of [-] soldiers and horses, of which [-] cavalry were led by the minister himself and rushed day and night. There shouldn't be any delay. First come to the capital to relieve the siege. .My remaining [-] infantry are still behind and will arrive in a few days."

After hearing what he said, the emperor thought about it in his mind. With these [-] elite soldiers and the three major battalions in the city, the capital should not be in any danger.Then the next step is to gather soldiers and defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop, so that they dare not look south for a few years.

The emperor thought for a while, and seemed to wake up suddenly, and said to Jia Ke: "Ai Qing, please hurry up after working hard all the way."

Jia Ke dared to stand up after receiving the emperor's order.In fact, Jia Ke was also very angry when he was a modern person, kneeling and kowtowing to an old man he just met.No matter how noble this old man is, he is very unhappy in his heart, kneeling down to him is just due to the situation.

Seeing Jia Ke getting up, the emperor asked him again: "Jia Qing, how do you think you should defeat the Tatars?"

Jia Ke hurriedly got out of the line, knelt down again and replied, "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to defeat the Tatars, as long as all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have arrived, with our soldiers from Xuanfu Town as the core, all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life will fight against the Tatars." Support from the side. The Tartars can be defeated in one fight."
