The eldest son of the red mansion

"This time I am going to send four tribes to disperse around the Tatars, destroy his grain and grass transportation lines, and wipe out the nearby Tatar tribes. I will make it impossible for Arslen Khan to get a single grain."

When Jia Ke came here, he gave an order: "Jirigala, Jiya, Meng Jiakehe, and Muren."

This is a leader who heard Jia Ke's order, immediately came out, knelt down in the middle, and listened to Hou Jiake's orders.

"The four of you each take your own cavalry and disperse to the four directions of the Tatar army camp. Once you find the Tatar food and grass transportation line, attack immediately. At the same time, check whether there are any tribes following the Tatars. If there are tribes, immediately attack them." Annihilate them all."

The four people received Jia Ke's order, and immediately bowed and cupped their fists and said, "I will follow the master's order."

After finishing speaking, the four people left the big tent together, returned to the garrisons of various tribes and began to organize the army.

The other four commanders of the Eight Banners who stayed in Jia Ke's tent all looked at Jia Ke eagerly, hoping that he would give him an order so that they could go out and make meritorious service.

Looking at their motherless eyes, Jia Ke said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds. We can't send out all the cavalry this time. If Arslen Khan jumps over the wall in a hurry, we have to There is a preparation."

These 4 tribes can only go back with a sigh. These people can be said to be loyal to Jia Ke now, and their hearts are as hard as a stone. When they see the opportunity to make contributions to Jia Ke, they will naturally move forward desperately and be left behind. These four people thought they were no worse than the four leaders who went out, so they were all a little depressed this time.

But Jia Ke did not dare to send out all the cavalry, because as time went by, the food and grass in Arslen Khan's clouds would become less and less, and time would force them to come out and fight Jia Ke. There is no cavalry under his command, and I am afraid that even if he can withstand the desperate resistance of the Tatars, he will suffer a lot of losses.

After Jirigla and the other four Eight Banners commanders returned to their camps, they did not dare to be negligent, and immediately set up their respective soldiers and horses. After discussing with each other, they decided on the direction of the main responsibility, and then led the troops and horses quietly away from the rear camp. .

When these people leave the camp with their troops, it is like a dragon entering the sea, and it is the place where they can display their abilities on the grassland.

Not to mention other people, but only Jizhigla, he brought [-] cavalry from his headquarters to the western path of the Tatars, and sent scouts to search around. The direction he was in charge of was most likely to encounter Tatars. team.

And it happened that there was a grain team that was going to transport grain and grass to the Tatar camp these days.

And because this army does not often do this kind of thing, its defenses are very lax. Hundreds of large vehicles dragged it for more than ten miles along the way.

And this situation was seen very clearly by Jirigra's scouts. After these people discovered this army, they sent people to continue to follow the grain transport team, and at the same time sent people to report to their commander.

Jirigla was overjoyed when he got the news, this is a chance for him to make meritorious deeds.

So Jirigla's headquarters this time, rushed straight to the direction of the food team.

And the leader of this grain team, it is not once or twice to deliver grain and grass, and every time it is safe and sound, so he is very lax.

When Jirigla led the cavalry three miles away from the grain team, the leader of the beam team heard the dense horseshoes and felt bad.

But now it was too late for him to take any measures. Jirigla led the cavalry and swarmed up, slashing and killing the food guards who had spread out for more than ten miles.

In less than half an hour, the food team was empty.

Jirigla nodded in satisfaction, got off his horse and came to the side of these carts, and casually chopped open a sack with a knife.

Immediately, golden millet flowed out from inside. Jirigla took a handful with his hands, looked carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then Jiri Geraldan ordered the men under his command to drive these carts happily towards Jia Ke's camp.

And things like Jirigla today happened frequently on the grassland in the days to come. Those transporting teams were not completely wiped out, but no one was able to escape back to report the news to Arslen Khan.

Arslen Khan stayed in the camp for a few days until Jia Ke sent people to challenge him every day, but he went to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and refused to fight.

The two sides were in such a stalemate. After a month of work, Jia Ke didn't fight at all. The two sides just looked at each other in the camp, but there was no fight.

This time, Arslen Khan did his best. All the food and grass needed by the troops were brought from the Western Regions. Among the Tatars, the tribes also had to bear a lot of pressure. The cattle and horses in their tribes were not enough. They rushed to Gubeikou without stopping, just to let the 40 soldiers have enough food and drink.

Arslen Khan thought he was successful, and when he was happy, suddenly Meng He broke into the big tent.

Arslen Khan's face darkened immediately, "Meng He, why did you break into my tent without notification?"

Arslen Khan thought that if everyone was like this, would he be safe in the future?

Meng He also knew that he had fallen for Meng Lang this time, so he quickly knelt down on the ground, "Please forgive me, Khan, I am willing to be punished in the end."

Arslen Khan saw that Meng He's attitude was not bad. Besides, Meng He was his confidant, and he had made a lot of contributions to fighting for him, so this time he could only let him go gently.

"Forget it this time, and the next time you will be punished severely."

Only then did Meng He breathe a sigh of relief. Arslen Khan had become a little moody over the years, and their confidants were a little scared, let alone others.

"You rushed in in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"Reporting to Dahan, the food and grass in the camp are only enough for more than 10 days. I haven't seen the food transportation team come these days. I am worried, so I came to speak to Dahan."

Arslen Khan was taken aback when he heard this, the food and grass should have arrived long ago, maybe something happened on the way.

Arslen Khan broke into cold sweat when he thought of this. Jia Ke is not an easy person to deal with. He has been standing still these days, maybe he is waiting here for him.

Arslen Khan immediately ordered his soldiers, "Go and call the person in charge of food and grass."

The soldier promised to go to battle immediately in his lifetime, and within a short time, the soldier led a tribal leader into the big tent.

Arslen Khan stared at this man for a long time, and then asked darkly: "I just heard from Meng He that there is only enough food for half a month, why didn't you report it to me?"

The tribal leader's name is Binta, and he is the leader of a small tribe. Because he followed Arslen Khan first, the tribe has grown a bit in recent years, so he followed Arslen Khan even more closely.

This time Arslen Khan went south, and Binta was appointed as the grain supervisor because he was the most loyal to him.

In fact, this Binta already knew that there was not enough food and grass. He was afraid that Arslen Khan would think that he was not capable enough after he knew the reason, so he temporarily concealed the matter and sent warriors from his own tribe to pick up the food team.

As a result, before the warriors in the tribe came back, they were sued by Meng He.

Binta can't hide it now, he can only tell the truth.

Arslen Khan, you were furious when you heard this, "Okay, you Binta, how dare you hide the military information."

Seeing Arslen Khan getting angry, Binta was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

Arslen Khan, you didn't even look at him, and said to your swaying soldiers: "Drag out and behead him for public display."

When Arslen Khan's soldiers heard the order, they immediately stepped forward and dragged the man out. It didn't take long before a soldier dragged the man's head into the big tent and spoke back to them.

Arslen Khan waved his hand to let the soldiers drag the head down, and then said to Meng He who was beside him, "What should we do now? Do you have any ideas?"

Meng He is also a little numb now?It seems that Jia Ke dispatched cavalry to intercept his family's food and grass team.

The Tatars have always supported war with war, and this time they went south this time was the first time they had delivered food and grass to the front on a large scale.That's why Jacques didn't have enough experience, so Jake seized the opportunity to attack several times. In the past month, not a single grain of grain has been transported into the Tatar camp.

Meng He knew that the situation was critical, so he could only say to Arslen Khan, "Khan, the current situation can only be a temporary retreat."

As soon as Arslen Khan heard this, he immediately became angry. He was very sensitive to the fact that he was forced to retreat. When he was in Xuanfu Town, because Jia Ke cut off the water source, there was internal strife in his eyes. Forced to retreat.

"We must never retreat. If we retreat this time, all previous efforts will be wasted. When Jia Ke returns to the Southern Dynasty with the power of victory, we can start to eliminate dissidents. When Jia Ke completely controls the Southern Dynasty, we are dead." It’s up to you to live.”

Meng He knew that what Arslen Khan said was the truth, but he didn't know what to do next because he was short of food and grass.

Arslen Khan sat on the throne and thought for a while, then directly ordered: "Meng He, you take 3 cavalry to meet the grain team. If you encounter the opponent's stragglers, don't worry about him. If you encounter a large army, what do you think? Fight if you can, and retreat if you can't fight, the main purpose is to transport food and grass to the camp as quickly as possible."
