After hearing what Arslen Khan said, Erdemutu was arrogant about his own wisdom and dismissed Jia Ke, so he said arrogantly: "He is just a common man with some courage. Why should the Great Khan treat Jia Ke?"
He is so afraid. I will trap him with a plan in the future, and it will be up to the Great Khan to decide whether to kill or capture him."
When Alsileng Khan heard this, he was not happy at all. If he said that others were brave, Alsileng Khan might still believe it. But he had deeply understood Jia Ke's cunning, otherwise he would not have been defeated.
Defeat again.
Alsileng Khan could not offend the high priest. After all, this man controlled the sacred spring on the grassland. Alsileng Khan then said perfunctorily to the high priest: "Since the high priest has a clever plan, it comes from the battle of Rijak
It depends on the high priest.”
Erdemutu saw that Arsleng Khan did not believe him, but he did not refute it for himself. He originally had a fight between Arsleng Khan and the tribal chiefs of the grasslands, but Arsleng Khan broke the grassland alliance and brought
All the power in the grassland is in his own hands. If he were not the sacrifice of the Immortal Heaven and the Tatar people's belief in the Immortal Heaven is unbreakable, Alsleng Khan would have killed him long ago. But even so, Alsleng Khan
His attitude toward himself is no longer as respectful as before.
This is also the time when the high priest actively followed Alsileng Khan to the Southern Dynasties, hoping to make some achievements and regain the trust of the Khan. However, he thought that it was not the time yet and would wait until a few days before fighting Jia Ke.
If you present your strategy, Alsileng Khan will be impressed by it.
After talking with the high priest, Alsileng Khan ordered the camp to tighten defense to prevent Jia Ke from sneak attack at night. Alsileng Khan was afraid of being attacked by Jia Ke. In the previous battles, Jia Ke would do it every time.
He seized the opportunity to sneak attack on his camp, and he succeeded every time. This made Alslen Khan have to be careful.
Besides, after Jia Ke defeated Battle, he found that the Tatar defense was very tight and had lost the opportunity to attack, so he had to retreat.
Jia Ke led his cavalry to the city gate of the capital and shouted to the superiors: "I am Jia Ke, the military envoy of Xuanfu Town who has been ordered to serve the king. Now I am leading my troops. Brothers on the city, please 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. He was at the top of the city just now, watching Jia Ke leading the cavalry to fight with the Tatar cavalry. Only the enemy who was killed fled. In just a moment, he wiped out five or six of the opponents.
With thousands of men and horses, I was already very satisfied with Jia Ke and was deeply impressed by Jia Ke's bravery. When I heard Jia Ke shouting loudly, I hurriedly said to Wang Ziteng next to me: "Hurry up and open the city.
Open the door and let Jia Aiqing in. I want to see this young and brave general."
Since the Tatars arrived at the foot of the capital, Wang Ziteng has been responsible for the defense of the capital. He has been working hard these days, but there is no trace of relaxation. This is also because he is not optimistic about the soldiers in the capital under his command. You have to do it yourself.
I'm really afraid that something will go wrong.
As the governor of the Beijing camp, how could Wang Ziteng not know what kind of people he had under his command? If these people were bullying the common people, they were all good at it. Or if they were fighting, these people came out of the balcony.
I have never seen one. They are not even as good as those soldiers in the south! I have participated in several bandit suppressions and conducted several long-distance marches.
Now that Prince Teng saw Jia Ke arriving, he felt relieved. There was finally a team in the capital that could fight well. Even the Tatars no longer needed to rely on those old soldiers to attack the city.
When Prince Teng breathed a sigh of relief and heard the emperor's order, he did not dare to neglect and hurried down the city wall to the city gate. He first gathered thousands of people and formed a formation at the city gate to prevent the Tatars from opening the city gate.
People came to attack.
After everything was ready, he ordered the soldiers to hoist the Qianjin Gate, then opened the city gate and let the cavalry led by Jia Ke enter the capital.
As soon as Jia Ke entered the city gate, he saw that the gate was heavily guarded. Thousands of people were lined up in formation, all ready to prepare for a sneak attack. Jia Ke couldn't help but nodded when he saw this. No matter what, these soldiers from the Beijing camp are not capable of fighting, but they can't defend the city.
The general is still very good. He can remain vigilant at all times. Judging from this attitude, even if Jia Ke does not come, the capital will not be in much danger.
While Jia Ke was thinking, a middle-aged Confucian general walked out from the opposite army. Although he was wearing a helmet, he had a face like white jade and a five-willow beard, and he looked like a Confucian scholar. This general met Jia Ke
Then he said: "Does my nephew recognize my uncle?"
Jia Ke didn't know who he was, but judging from his tone, he must be Wang Ziteng. I think Jia Ke had a low status in the capital, so how could he be qualified to meet Wang Ziteng. But in terms of feudal etiquette, Jia Ke's uncle was
Prince Teng, the military governor of Beijing Camp.
Now that Jia Ke knew it was him, he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly got off his horse and went to give the prince a gift. In this era where feudal ethics control everything, there are some things that must not be done wrong.
"Nephew Jia Ke, I have seen my uncle here." Jia Ke knelt down on one knee and saluted Prince Teng.
Wang Ziteng hurriedly took a few steps forward to support him. Although Jia Ke was considered his nephew, he was now in a high and powerful position and was no longer below him in terms of official rank. In the future, he would need more support from Jia Ke in the court. Therefore.
You cannot treat them like 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 reached a position that others can't achieve in their lifetime. It makes many veterans feel ashamed."
"I don't dare to praise my uncle. I just won a few battles by luck, and it was the emperor's grace and blessing that made me what I am today." Jia Ke raised his hands and saluted in the direction of Zijin City.
When the two of them were reminiscing about old times, they saw an eunuch coming down from the city tower. It was Dai Quan, the great eunuch. As soon as he saw everyone, he shouted in a high-pitched and thin voice: "Who is Jia Ke? The emperor wants to
When I see you, come up with our family as soon as possible."
Jia Ke stepped forward and replied: "This father-in-law, I am Jia Ke."
Dai Quan looked at Jia Ke a lot, and saw that Jia Ke only had an upper-middle-class appearance, but he had a heroic spirit about him, and as soon as he approached Jia Ke, he exuded a unique majesty.
Even the senior officials of the six ministries in the court did not have such majesty. To be able to become a highly respected minister at such a young age, and to be granted the title of marquis and general, is indeed a feat.
He could see clearly from the tower just now that Jia Ke was walking freely among the enemy troops, something he had never seen before among the generals of this dynasty. Moreover, this person was highly regarded by the emperor, and he could not offend him.
So Dai Quan said with a smile on his face: "So this is the famous General Shenwei on the grassland. It's the first time we meet, and our family is polite here." After saying this, he turned to Jia Ke and saluted.
Jia Ke hurried back and said, "I don't know what your name is, my father-in-law, but how can this small reputation compare to your hard work in serving the emperor?"
Jia Ke is not like people of this era who despise eunuchs. In fact, Jia Ke still has a certain respect for these eunuchs in his heart. These people are always around the emperor and seem to be just minions serving the emperor. In fact, they are more respected than those ministers and the emperor.
In order to get close, sometimes even one or two unintentional words can determine the life or death of an important court official. Therefore, Jia Ke showed great respect for these eunuchs every time.
Everyone likes to listen to flattery, and Dai Quan is no exception. Hearing Jia Ke’s words, I felt very happy. Jia Ke’s identity is not ordinary. He is the dignified Marquis of Wuyang. People like him are so respectful to him. You
Can he be unhappy? Compared with those ministers in the court who do not take eunuchs like them into consideration, Dai Quan now finds hyperthyroidism pleasing to his eye.
Dai Quan happily said to Jia Ke: "The emperor saw your performance on the city tower. The emperor has now asked me to come and invite you to meet on the city tower. There is no need to be afraid when you meet the emperor later, as long as you bow to the emperor according to common sense.
good."
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he burst into tears and said: "I only have some small achievements, and it is thanks to the emperor's grace that I am where I am today. Just now I just defeated the Tatars. But I was summoned by the emperor. I am really lucky."
Then Jia Ke was grateful to Dai Quan and said, "It's rare that my father-in-law can give you some advice. I'll feel relieved when I go up there."
Dai Quan said a few polite words to Jia Ke again, and brought Jia Ke to the tower.
On the city tower, the civil and military ministers were lined up in two rows, and an old man in his fifties or sixties was sitting on a big chair in the middle. This man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his majesty made people awe-inspiring. This majesty
It has been cultivated by Yuji Tianxia for decades.
Jia Ke knew that the man in the middle must be the emperor. According to the debtor's instructions, he hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and shouted long live the mountain.
The emperor looked at the young general kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you Jia Ke, the military commander of Xuanfu Town?"
"My lord, it is Jia Ke."
"How many troops and horses did you bring when you came from Xuanfu Town?" This was the question that the emperor was most concerned about.
Jia Ke knelt down and lowered his head, answering the emperor's question carefully, "I brought a total of 50,000 troops and horses this time, of which 20,000 cavalry were personally commanded by me and marched day and night. There shouldn't be any delay. I came to the capital first to relieve the siege."
.My remaining 30,000 infantry are still behind and will arrive in a few days."
After listening to his words, the emperor made a mental calculation. With these 50,000 elite soldiers and the three major battalions in the city, there should be no danger to the capital. Then the next step was to gather the troops and defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop, leaving them almost unstoppable.
Don’t dare to look southward during this year.
The emperor thought for a while, seemed to suddenly wake up, and said to Jia Ke: "My dear, please get up quickly after a hard journey."
Jia Ke dared to get up after receiving the emperor's order. In fact, Jia Ke was very angry all the time. As a modern man, he knelt down and kowtowed to an old man he had just met. No matter how noble the old man was, he felt very unhappy in his heart.
Fortunately, kneeling down to him was just forced by the situation.
When the emperor saw Jia Ke getting up, he asked him again: "Jia Qing, how do you think we should defeat the Tatars?"
Jia Ke quickly stepped out of the queue, knelt down again and replied: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to defeat the Tatars. We only need to wait for all the soldiers and horses to arrive. With our soldiers in Xuanfu Town as the core, all the soldiers and horses will be defeated."
Support from the side. We can defeat the Tatars in one battle."
Jia Ke's words shocked the emperor. The emperor did not expect that Jia Ke, despite his young age and good martial arts skills, would be so good at bragging.
