After Jirigela and Jiya broke out of the siege, they felt like crying when they saw the embarrassment of their men.
They always attack others secretly. Unexpectedly, this time I was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. How should I explain to my master this time?
Jirigela thought for a moment, and then said: "It is no longer suitable for us to continue fighting. It is better to go back and apologize to the master."
Jiya saw that her subordinates really could no longer fight, so she had no choice but to agree.
So the men and horses from Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner joined forces and marched cautiously towards Jia Ke's camp.
At this time, Meng He stood on a high hill, watching the retreat of tens of thousands of cavalry, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time I used a trick to defeat these people, but it only caused them a small loss, and they would not be injured. If these people fought desperately and came back to attack my food transport teammates, I would have no choice but to fight them decisively.
, but I’m afraid it’s more losses than wins.
Meng He sent detective horses to follow the cavalry of Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner for a day or two. After seeing that they had indeed left, the detective horses rushed back to report.
Meng He finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the news. He was safe this time.
Next, Meng He did not dare to delay, so he took his men, horses, and food and grass and walked carefully towards the Tatar camp.
Although Meng He defeated the armies of Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner this time, Jutanma came to report that there were still two men and horses wandering nearby.
These two armies are the Zhenghong Banner led by Meng Jiake and the Zhenglan Banner led by Muren.
Meng Jia Ke and Muren were all shocked after receiving the report from Jiri Gela. They did not expect that two brave and skilled cavalry would be defeated by each other in succession.
So the two men joined forces and brought tens of thousands of cavalry to the vicinity of Meng He.
He had detected these two cavalrymen when they came near Menghe, and now he had a headache. After Jia Ke conquered the Manchus, he had an endless stream of cavalry under his command. They had just defeated tens of thousands of people, and another wave came.
, if this continues, the tens of thousands of people we have will not be enough for them to consume.
So Meng He wanted to repeat his old tricks and seduced Meng Jia Kehe and Muren several times, but they all ended in failure.
It turned out that Meng Jia Kehe was the oldest among the Eight Banners commanders and the most stable by nature. If someone else had been here, they would have fallen into Meng He's scheme. However, this time they met the cautious Meng Jia Kehe, which made Meng He
Several failures.
However, the tens of thousands of cavalry commanded by Meng Jia Ke and Muren did not dare to act rashly. They followed Meng He for more than 100 miles and saw that the enemy was about to approach the Tatar tent. If this continued, they would probably
It will allow the Tatars to get food and grass supplements.
Meng Jiake and Muren discussed it and decided that they could no longer hesitate. In order to prevent Meng He from falling into his trap again, they decided to launch a surprise attack during the day.
It was at noon the next day that Meng Jia Kehe and Muren led fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, swarmed down a high slope, and launched an assault on Meng He's grain transport team.
Unexpectedly, Meng He had already seen through the plan of these two men. When their cavalry rushed to the middle of the grain team, they realized that this was not a grain team, and the carriages were simply filled with straw.
The people escorting the carriage were just slaves collected by Meng He from nearby tribes.
Meng Jia Ke and Muren were now looking at each other. They had been wandering near Meng He and didn't notice any little moves by Meng He, but they still fell into his golden cicada's plan to escape.
Meng Jia Ke and Muren now had no choice but to take the team back to the camp to hand over orders to Jia Ke.
Besides, Meng He got rid of Meng Jia Ke and Muren. This time, Meng He's team was safe and without any harassment along the way. By the time they arrived at the camp, it was already a few days later.
At this time, the Tatar camp had almost run out of food and grass. If Meng He did not come back, it would be time to reduce the rations for his soldiers.
Arslen Khan was immediately excited when he heard that Meng He had returned with his men and horses escorting grain and fodder. He personally led all the tribal leaders and generals to the gate of the camp to greet him.
When Meng He saw Alsileng Khan standing at the gate of the camp, he immediately got off his horse and trotted to kneel in front of Alsileng Khan and others, "General, I have seen the Great Khan. Fortunately, the food and grass have arrived at the camp."
.”
Alsileng Khan personally stepped forward and helped him up with both hands, "I will help you later. When you succeed this time, you will be credited with the first achievement."
Then Alsileng Khan personally supported Meng He to the Chinese army's tent.
After everyone arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Arslen Khan was in command, and tribal leaders and generals stood on both sides.
Alsileng Khan's face was now glowing red, and the previous crisis was finally resolved.
"Everyone, today Meng He brought food and grass back when we were in the most danger. We should be credited with the first credit."
Everyone below heard Alslen Khan's words and all agreed. During this period, they were also very anxious. They were really afraid that they would be wiped out by Jia Ke after they ran out of food.
"In that case, let's add 300 households to Menghe. What do you think?"
Everyone agreed after hearing this.
Meng He also excitedly stood up and kowtowed to Alsileng Khan to thank him.
You must know that Meng He was just a general under Alslen Khan. Although he also had some tribesmen, there were only more than 100 households. Now adding 300 households to him would almost double his wealth.
After Arslenkhan finished awarding the reward, the saviors served a banquet, and the tribal leaders and generals began to feast in the central army tent.
Not to mention that the Tatars were celebrating here, but also that Jizhigla and Jiya returned to Jia Ke's camp with the remaining defeated troops.
After the two of them settled their troops, they slowly arrived at Jia Ke's Chinese army tent. They looked at each other at the entrance of the tent for a long time, but they didn't dare to go in.
Because since Jia Ke came out of the mountain, he has been invincible in all attacks and battles, and has never been defeated. This is a precedent for them.
And Jia Ke is now in the Chinese army's big tent. He has already received reports from his troops and knows that the two men in the camp who were defeated are now raising money outside the big tent and dare not come in.
So he ordered someone to announce that the two of them should go into the tent and answer the question.
Jiya and Jirigela received Jia Ke's message and did not dare to hesitate any longer. They had no choice but to take the account.
The two of them entered the big tent and saw Jia Ke sitting in the middle. They hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kept begging for forgiveness.
Jia Ke did not ask them to stand up, but asked: "What happened? My people lost so much."
Jirigela and Jiya could only tell Jia Ke exactly what happened.
After hearing this, Jia Ke was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "There are also handsome people among the Tatars. I underestimated the heroes of the world."
After Jia Ke finished sighing, he said to the two men below: "You two go back to reorganize the troops and rest for a while to prepare for further use."
Seeing that Jia Ke did not punish them, the two men kowtowed quickly and then slowly exited the tent.
Jia Ke sat in the midst of the battle between the Chinese army and was a little troubled. He originally thought of starving the Tatars of food, but in the end he took advantage of the situation and defeated them in one fell swoop. It seemed a little naive.
If he leads the team to harass the Tatar food transport team, he will naturally have nothing to worry about. However, he is sitting in the middle of the army and cannot leave easily.
Now we can only continue to stalemate with each other, but that's fine. In this way, the two sides are fighting for their national strength. Although the Tatars are tough, but compared to their national strength, the Central Plains can pull them apart by hundreds of thousands.
inside.
So the two sides continued to stalemate on the grassland. Both sides neither fought nor retreated. They just spent time there to see who couldn't hold on the most.
Everyone in the Tatars wanted to wait for something unexpected to happen to Jia Ke in the capital, and Jia Ke would have to retreat, so that they could take advantage of the victory and pursue them.
Jia Ke's intention was to wait for the Tatars to decline in national strength and be forced to retreat if they could no longer hold on, and Jia Ke could easily lead them to defeat them in one fell swoop.
The two sides are now competing for patience and national strength. It depends on who can endure it. But overall, Jia Ke has the advantage, because after all, the Central Plains dynasty is rich in products and has strong national strength.
Although the Tatars have strong military capabilities, their production and materials are far inferior to those of the Central Plains Dynasty. If the stalemate continues like this, the Tatars may have to withdraw north within a few months.
Not to mention that Jia Ke had a stalemate with the Tatars outside Gubeikou, but that the capital was already in a state of turmoil at this time.
Since Jia Ke left the capital with a large group of troops, the emperor's clan, as well as the nobles and other vested rights who had been suppressed by Jia Ke, began to secretly communicate with each other.
These people are actually the group of people who hate Jia Ke the most, even more than those civil servants and scholars.
All because if Jia Ke changes dynasties, those gentry can still continue to be prosperous and wealthy. After all, Jia Ke still relies on them to govern the world. Although there are some losses, they can be made up within a few years, so these gentry are not very opposed.
Jia Ke's rebellion.
But these princes and nobles are different. I have never heard of the current dynasty retaining the nobles of the previous dynasty.
In this way, it is Jia Ke's mercy that they can save their lives. As for property, property, and privileges, don't even think about it.
So these people had long hated Jia Ke to the core, but because Jia Ke was so powerful, they did not dare to act rashly. Now that Jia Ke had taken away almost all the soldiers and horses in the capital, these people thought the time had come.
Among them, the Prince of Nan'an County is the leader. They have contacted other four princes and eight princes and have begun to communicate secretly.
The royal family was headed by King Zhongshun. After Jia Ke left, King Zhongshun secretly contacted the seniors in the royal family and the princes of various palaces.
The two groups communicated with each other and reached an agreement to launch an offensive in the capital, expel Jia Ke's men, protect the emperor again, and assume power.
Fan Kang, who was in the capital, had seen their actions, but he didn't take any action and just let them connect with each other.
Although Fan Kang did not take any action, another person was anxious. This was Sun Yan, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department.
After Jia Ke left, Sun Yan was nominally in charge of the government affairs of the country. In this way, he also heard about the rumors in the court during this period. After he got the news that people who were interested in the emperor started to communicate with each other, he
Extremely anxious.
However, Sun Yan felt relieved when he saw that Fan Kang, Jia Ke's absolute confidant, was still there taking his time, because he knew that Jia Ke would never leave the capital without making any arrangements, so he made up his mind.
, find an opportunity to have a detailed chat with Fan Kang, and don’t make any mistakes then.
