Jia Ke thought that this arrow was foolproof, but he didn't expect that the Tatar general could escape this disaster.
Jia Ke originally wanted to shoot another arrow, but the Tatar general was so clever that he leaned on his horse and blended in with the crowd and fled away. Because the distance was too far, even though Jia Ke was an expert shot, he couldn't do it like this.
Hit the enemy from a long distance.
Seeing that the people had escaped, Jia Ke no longer hesitated, but left some troops to quickly clean the battlefield. With more than 40,000 cavalry, he continued to advance towards the royal tent of Arslen Khan.
When Jia Ke arrived at Alsileng Khan's station, he only saw a mess, and there was no one in the station. However, Jia Ke found that Alsileng Khan left in a hurry, and almost all the supplies in the station were left behind.
Jia Ke led people into King Alsileng Khan's tent and found that the lights were still bright, but there was no one there. The leftovers on the table were still steaming. Jia Ke knew that Alsileng Khan had not escaped for a long time, but
It was getting late now, and it was almost impossible to find any trace of him on the grassland.
Jia Ke had no choice but to do the next best thing and asked people to collect all the supplies in Alsileng Khan's camp and take them away. Jiake personally rummaged through Alsileng Khan's tent, hoping to find valuable items in it.
, so that he can submit it to the court to show his merit.
The emperor paid off, and Jia Ke finally found a wooden box in a secret corner of the back tent. Jia Ke opened the wooden box and looked inside, only to see a green and white, crystal clear jade seal inside.
Ke took out the jade seal and looked at it carefully. This square treasure seal was different. It was four inches in diameter and carried five dragons. It was crystal clear and moist, with a greenish tint. It had a missing corner on the side and was inlaid with gold. There was a seal text below: "I was ordered to
God, may you live forever." This should be the traditional jade seal that was plundered by the Tatars and taken to the grassland when the previous dynasty collapsed. But Jia Ke never expected that such an important thing would be carried by Alsileng Khan with him and he was running away.
He actually forgot to take this treasure away, which shows his panic when he ran away.
When Jia Ke saw this square jade seal, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Jia Ke's first reaction was to look around and found that there was no one else around, so he felt relieved.
Jia Ke was alone in Alsileng Khan's treasure tent, carefully playing with the jade seal, and at the same time engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Should he keep the jade seal privately, or hand it over to the court in exchange for real merit and future.
Jia Ke thought about it and finally decided to hand over this Fang Yuxi to the court. Firstly, he could pretend to be a loyal minister. Secondly, he could use this credit to climb up the ladder to expand his own strength and territory.
After all, Jia Ke traveled from modern times to this parallel time and space. He is not as superstitious about the imperial seals as the ancients. He believes that what determines the rise and fall of a dynasty is the people's support and his own strength, not a small jade seal. If there is a jade seal dynasty,
Can it be preserved? There have been many dynasties in the past who have owned imperial seals. Which one of them has survived to this day?
Jia Ke put the imperial seal back into the wooden box, and then kept it close to his body. This was a guarantee for him to be promoted to an official position, and then left the big tent.
Outside the big tent, the old and new Manchu Eight Banners were rummaging around the entire camp, loading all the valuable things that could be taken away into the truck without leaving a single thing behind. By daybreak, all the supplies in Alsileng Khan's camp had been taken away.
They gathered together and loaded them on carriages to be taken away. Fortunately, Alslenkhan and others left in a hurry and left behind a large number of vehicles and livestock. Otherwise, they would have no way to get these supplies and would have to burn them in the end.
Jia Ke saw that time was almost up and could not stay any longer. So he ordered all the troops of the Eight Banners to organize their troops and evacuate to the northeast. That was where they would place the plundered people and supplies.
Besides, Meng He, who was ambushing in the direction of Kaiping Town at this time, had not received any news from Jia Ke for several days and was very anxious. He was afraid that Jia Ke would see through his plan and return to the Southern Dynasty from another direction.
Although Meng He brought hundreds of thousands of troops with him this time, they were not united. Except for a few tribes that were attacked by Jia Ke, most of the other tribes did not want to fight against Jia Ke. This was because Jia Ke's performance was so bad.
It's awesome, they don't need to lose their own men for other tribes.
Moreover, in the past year, Alslen Khan carried out a large-scale cleansing of the grassland. The Erut tribe Sude who was hostile to him last year has been encircled and killed by him. The Erut tribe was divided into three by him, the largest part of which
After being annexed by him, two parts were left. One part was given to his younger brother, and the remaining part was inherited by Su De's son according to the grassland tradition, allowing them to maintain the name of the Erut tribe. However, the current strength of the Erut tribe has been
Less than a quarter of what it was before.
With this justifiable attack, Alsleng Khan strengthened his own strength, but it also planted the seeds of discord on the grassland. The various grassland ministries now only rely on Alsleng Khan's military strength and have to obey him.
dispatch.
And this time, it was precisely because Alslen Khan split the Erut tribe that the defense of the Erut tribe was lax. Not many people stayed in the tribe. In the end, Jia Ke wiped out the entire tribe in one fell swoop. This situation made the tribes on the grassland
The people were frightened when they saw it. They were afraid that they would be the next Erut tribe, so now every tribe cherishes its own tribe's military strength.
Alsleng Khan now seems to have absolute authority on the grassland, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Each tribe is strengthening its own strength, and private alliances are common. As long as Alsleng Khan takes any more drastic actions,
By then, there will definitely be an alliance composed of most of the tribes on the grassland. So now who has the heart to really work hard for Alslen Khan, they are just perfunctory with him.
Meng He was very aware of the difficulties he faced, so he did not exert strong control over the tribes. As long as the tribal leaders could still hear his orders, he would just turn a blind eye.
Meng He had been waiting for Jia Ke for seven or eight days in the north of Kaiping Town, but the news from various places showed that Jia Ke's whereabouts had not been found. The bad premonition in Meng He's heart became stronger and stronger.
On this day, Meng He was in his tent, looking at the map and frowning. He was thinking about what he would do if he were Jia Ke. Meng He thought about it and suddenly discovered that the Alsileng Khan garrison was now weak and too close.
In the Southern Dynasties, if Jia Ke found out their direction at this time and attacked with all his strength, Alsileng Khan would definitely suffer heavy losses.
When Meng He thought of this possibility, he broke into a cold sweat. He immediately wrote a letter in his account and asked his soldiers to send it to Zhang Bei immediately. In the letter, he expressed his judgment to Alsleng.
The Khan explained and asked Alslen Khan to take his guards and family members to move more than three hundred miles north. Zhangbei was too close to the Southern Dynasty and was unsafe.
Meng He sent his soldiers out, and Alslenkhan's messenger arrived at the back. He reported to him that Jia Ke had raided Zhangbei and that Alslenkhan had led his men to escape overnight, and also conveyed to him the news of Alslenkhan.
Leng Khan ordered Meng He to go north to Zhangbei to rescue him.
When Meng He saw that what he was most worried about finally happened, he felt anxious and helpless. At the same time, he praised Jia Ke and said that Jia Ke really lived up to his reputation.
A formidable opponent.
Although Meng He and Jia Ke had some sympathy for each other and admired Jia Ke's use of troops, he would never let go of Jia Ke's scourge at this time. He still believed that Jia Ke was too great a threat. The most important task now should be to eliminate Jia Ke.
Instead of rescuing Alsileng Khan, Meng He did not think that Jia Ke would search for traces of Alsileng Khan in the vast prairie.
After Meng He thought for a while, he immediately ordered a small group of cavalry to tie branches behind the horses and run with all their strength, pretending to be a large army supporting Zhang Bei to attract Jia Ke's attention. He led the real army and continued to march in Kaiping.
There is an ambush in the direction of the town. If Jia Ke falls into the trap and avoids the troops who go to support him, and returns to Kaiping Town at this time, he will definitely kill them all.
