The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 108 Siege

Arslen Khan felt that it would be good if the siege of Kaipingwei could be accomplished.If it is early winter, Kaipingwei will still be safe and sound.He was also able to borrow the donkey and withdraw his troops back to the grassland.And because he ordered all the tribes to suddenly invade the south, all the tribes will gain a lot, even if Kaipingwei is not laid down, as long as there are no more casualties, it will not have much impact on his reputation.

The next day, Arslen Khan ordered the leaders of all tribes to gather in the big tent.

When the leaders of the various tribes came to the big tent, Arslen Khan had not yet arrived.At this time, they were whispering to each other, discussing the surprise attack on Kaipingwei last night.

It seems that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. It didn't take long before almost all the tribal leaders knew about it.

These tribal leaders were very annoyed, expressing their opinions word by word.

"I think we have achieved a lot this year, so we shouldn't be wasting time here for the little Kaipingwei."

"Who says no? I haven't seen my wife for a long time. I know if that woman is safe at home, and whether my new concubine has been abused by her."

"It's okay for you guys, there is no round of attacking Kaipingwei. I am different. This time attacking Kaipingwei, the dead warriors are more than the number of people I have lost in several years. Let us continue to fight. I don't know how to sweat What do you think?"

"What do you think? Hmph, isn't every big sweat always thinking that way."

"Shut up for me, you don't want to die, you dare to sweat profusely like this."

"I just said what, they can do it, don't let me say it, I think if this continues, we Tatars will suffer heavy casualties here. At that time, other grassland peoples will rush up to us Eat it all."

After listening to his words, everyone felt that it was very reasonable. The grassland has always been dominated by the weak and the strong.Now the Tatars are powerful and are the overlords on the grasslands, but once they weaken a little, they will be eaten by other nations.

Arslen Khan had actually come a long time ago. He hid behind his tent and listened to the discussions of the tribal leaders.There was a burst of pain in my heart. Although he was a profuse sweat in name, he was actually just a leader.To make these old foxes obedient, so far his prestige is not enough.

Now that Arslen Khan thought about it, maybe his father didn't just want to be successful on the grassland, but that he had absolutely no way to deal with these people.You can't do anything if you don't have the same people!

Arslen Khan coughed outside the tent, and the tribal leaders inside stopped discussing for a moment, stood up one by one, and looked outside the tent respectfully, as if they had never said what they just said.

Arslen Khan walked in with a smile as if he hadn't heard those words, and greeted the tribal leaders in front of him from time to time.

Arslen Khan walked to the middle and sat on his khan seat, and the tribal leaders saluted him together.

Arslen Khan looked at them and smiled and said, "It seems that everyone knows about what happened last night, so I won't repeat it here. Let's discuss future strategies."

At this time, a tribal leader with a green head couldn't help it: "Khan, we can't continue fighting like this. If we continue like this, maybe we can conquer Kaipingwei, but at that time, we will still have the remaining How many people? How can we tribal leaders go back and explain to the tribe?"

Everyone who opened their mouth couldn't help it, and they all started to complain.

The leader of the Abaga tribe—Surina, is the oldest among them, also known as the wise man on the grassland, at this time he stood up and said to Arslen Khan: "Great Khan, it's time for a change. .Now the warriors of all tribes have begun to wear off the war, and they all miss their hometown. If the fight continues like this, we people will not be able to control the tribes below."

When everyone heard that even the respected Su Rina spoke, they couldn't help it anymore.The main reason for the quarrel in the big tent was to complain that Arslen Khan should not have stormed Kaipingwei, causing heavy losses to the troops.

Arslen Khan listened to the yelling below, all criticizing him.Arslen Khan was so angry that his head was about to explode. Arslen Khan couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table in front of him and shouted loudly: "Shut up, is there any more rules? Are there any rules?" Did I pay attention to my profuse sweat?"

Su Rina saw that Arslen Khan was really angry, and the old fox immediately stepped forward to dissuade the tribal leaders: "Don't say anything, everything that Great Khan did is for us, although there are some small losses now. But the overall situation We still have a lot to gain in the field, and we should not obliterate the credit of the Great Khan because of this little loss."

All the tribal leaders also reacted at this time, shut up quickly, and apologized to Arslen Khan together.

Arslen Khan calmed down the anger in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Since you all admit your mistakes, I will not pursue it. This time I attacked Kaipingwei, and I also made some mistakes in tactics. Now is the time to change." , from today onwards, the tribes will no longer attack Kaipingwei, but will surround Kaipingwei, I will make it impossible for a grain of food to enter Kaipingwei, and starve them to death in the city."

When the tribal leaders heard Arslen Khan promised not to attack Kaipingwei again, they had already achieved a certain goal.It's not perfect though, and you can't just go back to the Horde with the loot and enjoy it now.But at least there is no need to die, so they all reluctantly agreed.

Arslen Khan saw that the tribal leaders compromised, and was afraid that they would go back on their word.Immediately ordered, "From now on, all tribes will guard the surrounding areas in batches, and send out cavalry to patrol non-stop. You can't relax even at night. What's your opinion?"

When all the tribal leaders heard his order, they all felt that it made sense, so they all shook their heads and said, "The great man is wise, we act according to the orders of the Great Khan."

Arslen Khan had never hated these old foxes so much as he did now. He would rush forward together if there was any benefit, and retreat far away if there was any difficulty.

Arslen Khan forced a smile, and said to them: "If we succeed this time, we will pull out the nail of Kaipingwei. From now on, the road going south will be smooth, from here to Xuanfu Town. The road will be unimpeded. Then In the future, don't we come and go whenever we want?"

The tribal leaders thought about the same reason, so they assigned defense areas and led their troops.

Arslen Khan sat alone in the big tent, thinking about what had happened these days, and felt that this could not go on like this anymore.In the past, he was invincible and invincible, and he didn't feel any constraints, but now if there is a setback, the tribes will immediately be distracted.

After going back this time, the next thing to do is how to weaken the power of these old foxes step by step.Bring the whole Tatars back under his rule.

At this time, Jia Ke stood on the top of the city and looked at the Tatar camp, and there was no movement at this time.He knew that his guess was right, and it seemed that the Tatars had changed from a storm to a siege.

The Tatars just wanted to trap Kaipingwei to death in the city, but this was exactly what Jia Ke wanted.As long as there is no large number of casualties and Kaipingwei's vitality is preserved, everything else is not a problem.

Kaipingwei now has enough food, and he has implemented a rationing system throughout the city, so it should be able to last for a few months.At that time, it really won't work, there are still hundreds of horses, and Kaipingwei's entire team can last for ten days and a half months.

What worries Jia Ke now, Liu Yu has no news yet.I don't know what's going on in Xuanfu Town?Does Wang Tao have the guts to come to the rescue?

Chapter 109 Liu Yu Returns

In the next few days, the Tatars stopped attacking the city, but surrounded the Kaiping guards, and sent cavalry to roam around non-stop.Kaipingwei has completely become an isolated island in the sea.

But Kaiping Weizhong's people are still quite stable, because the food is still very sufficient, and the water source is several years in the city, and there is no shortage.

Because the Tatars did not attack the city, and Jia Ke had no intention of going out of the city to attack, the two sides confronted each other peacefully for more than ten days.

That night, the Kaiping Acropolis was still heavily guarded as it was during the day, and all kinds of torches illuminated the top of the city like daylight. Because Jia Ke was afraid that the Tatars would attack again, he issued strict orders, whether it was day or night There can be no slack in the defense.

At this time, a little black figure sneaked close to the city wall, and the soldiers on the top of the city found him immediately.Without any hesitation, he just shot an arrow at the black shadow. The black shadow was already staggering, how could it hide?Just don't shoot him in the shoulder.

The black figure was shot in the shoulder, but he didn't dare to call out loudly.He just leaned against the wall desperately and quickly, and then shouted to the people above: "I am the personal guard of Master Qianhu. I just came from Xuanfu Town and I have important military information to report. You drag me up quickly."

The people on the top of the city heard him yelling and didn't know if it was true or not, but if it was true, then the matter was of great importance, so they quickly reported it to the officers on the top of the city.

The person on duty at the top of the city today is Huang Baifeng, deputy of Qianhu. Although Huang Baifeng is old, he is old-fashioned and prudent.At this time, they were still patrolling the top of the city, and suddenly they heard soldiers coming to report that there was a personal guard of a thousand household adults under the city, they didn't know what to do, so they asked Huang Baifeng to go over and have a look.

Huang Bofeng knew that Liu Yu had gone to Xuanfu Town to report to the Jiedu envoy some time ago, and at this time he heard that a person who claimed to be a soldier of Qianhu had come down from the city, so he suspected it was him.

So I didn't dare to be negligent, arrived at the accident site, looked down the city, I saw that the city was dark, and I could only vaguely see a figure curled up there.

Huang Baifeng shouted to the city: "Who are you? Tell me your name."

At this time, the black shadow under the city tried to raise his head, looked at Huang Baifeng under the light of the torch at the top of the city, and said with difficulty: "Huang Qianhu, I am Liu Yu, I have important military information to Lord Qianhu, quickly put the rope to pull me go up."

Huang Bofeng recognized Liu Yu's voice, and knew that the person under the city must be Liu Yu, so he immediately let the rope down.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his shoulder, and tied the rope around his waist. The people on the top of the wall saw that he had tied it up, and several of them worked hard together.Drag him up to town.

As soon as Liu Yu was dragged to the city, Huang Baifeng immediately came over to check on his situation.I saw that he was already dressed in rags, there was not a piece of good cloth on his body, and he was already skinny, and there was an arrow on his shoulder. Judging from the shape of the arrow, he should have been injured by his own people just now.

Looking at him, Huang Baifeng must have suffered a lot.I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and I don't know how he persisted.

Huang Baifeng is currently on duty and cannot leave his post without authorization.Immediately ordered the soldiers to report to Jia Ke at Qianhu Mansion.

Jia Ke had already fallen asleep at this time. These days, he was exhausted and hadn't been to the gate of the city for more than ten days.In the past few days, the two parties finally relaxed, so that he could have a good sleep in the room.

When he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside the window, "Master, wake up, something happened. Master, wake up soon."

Jia Ke woke up when she heard the sound.Hearing the voice was his personal soldiers calling, now Jia Ke has personal soldiers guarding all around every time he rests, and Fang Tian's painting halberd is placed beside his bed.
