The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 188
Jia Ke originally thought that this arrow would be safe, but he didn't expect that the Tatar general escaped this catastrophe.

Jia Ke originally wanted to shoot another arrow, but the Tatar general was so clever that he fell on his horse and fled away among the crowd.Due to the long distance, although Jia Ke is a sharpshooter, she can't hit the enemy at such a long distance.

Seeing that the people had fled, Jia Ke didn't bother anymore, but left a part of the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield. He led more than 4 cavalry and continued to advance towards Arslen Khan's king's tent.

When Jia Ke arrived at Arslen Khan's residence, he saw only a mess, and there was no one in the residence.But Jia Ke found that Arslen Khan left in a hurry, and almost all the supplies in the station remained where they were.

Jia Ke led people into King Arslen Khan's tent, and found that the lights were still bright inside, but there was no one there, and the leftovers on the table were still steaming.Jia Ke knew that Arslen Khan had not escaped for a long time, but it was getting late now, and it was almost impossible to find him on the grassland.

Jia Ke had no choice but to take the next best thing, and ordered people to collect all the supplies in Arslen Khan's residence, and Jia Ke personally rummaged through Arslen Khan's big tent, hoping to find valuable items in it. , so that he can turn in the court to show his merits.

The emperor paid off, and Jia Ke finally found a wooden box in a hidden corner of the back tent.Jia Ke opened the wooden box and looked inside, only to see a blue and white jade seal which was crystal clear inside. Jia Ke took out the jade seal and looked at it carefully. New, crystal clear and moist, green in green, missing a corner, inlaid with gold, and there is a seal script: "Ordered by the sky, life will last forever." State Jade Seal.It's just that Jia Ke never thought that Arslen Khan would carry such an important thing with him, and even forgot to take this treasure away when he ran away, which shows his panic when he ran away.

Seeing this Fang Yuxi, Jia Ke couldn't help being overjoyed.Jia Ke's first reaction was to look around, and found that there was no one else around, so she felt relieved.

Jia Ke was alone in Arslen Khan's tent, playing with the jade seal carefully, and at the same time engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, whether to keep this jade seal privately, or hand it over to the court in exchange for real credit and future.

After much deliberation, Jia Ke finally decided to hand over this jade seal to the imperial court. First, she could pretend to be a loyal minister.The second is that you can use this credit to climb up one step to expand your 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 jade seals of the ancients. He believes that it is the people's hearts and his own strength that determine the rise and fall of a dynasty, not a small jade seal.If there is a jade seal dynasty, it can be preserved. There are many dynasties that have passed down the jade seal in the past dynasties, and which one has survived to the present?

Jia Ke put the Jade Seal of Chuanguo back into the wooden box, and kept it close to him. This was the guarantee for him to become a nobleman, and then he got out of the big account.

Outside the big tent, the new and old Manchu Eight Banners are rummaging around the entire camp. Anything that can be taken away and has value is loaded into the car without leaving a single piece.When it was dawn, they gathered all the supplies in Arslen Khan's station and loaded them into carriages to be taken away. Fortunately, Arslen Khan and others left a large number of vehicles and livestock in a hurry, otherwise they would There is no way to get these materials, but in the end they can only be burned.

Seeing that the time was running out, Jia Ke couldn't stay any longer.So he ordered the ministries of the Eight Banners to rectify their troops and evacuate to the northeast.That's where they set up looted people and supplies.

Besides, Meng He, who was ambushing in the direction of Kaiping Town at this time, had not heard from Jia Ke for several days, and was very anxious. He was afraid that Jia Ke would see through his plot and return to the Southern Dynasty from another direction.

Although Meng He brought 10,000+ troops this time, they were not united. Except for a few tribes attacked by Jia Ke, most of the other tribes did not want to fight Jia Ke.Just because Jia Ke's record is so great, they don't need to lose their troops for other tribes.

Moreover, in the past year, Arslen Khan had carried out a large-scale cleansing of the grasslands. Last year, Su De, the Erute tribe who was hostile to him, had been surrounded and killed by him.And the Erut tribe was divided into three by him, the largest part was annexed by him, and the remaining two parts, one was granted to his younger brother by him, and the remaining part was inherited by Su De's son according to the grassland tradition. They maintain the name of the Erute Department, but the current strength of the Erute Department is less than a quarter of what it used to be.

Arslen Khan relied on this legitimate attack to strengthen his own strength, but it also planted the seeds of discord in the grassland. The various ministries in the grassland are now only based on the military strength of Arslen Khan, and have to listen to him dispatch.

And this time it was Arslen Khan who split the Erut tribe, which made the Erut tribe slack in defense. Not many people stayed in the tribe, and finally Jia Ke wiped out the whole tribe in one fell swoop. This situation made the tribes on the grassland People were terrified when they saw it.I am afraid that I will be the next Erut tribe, so now every tribe cherishes the strength of its own tribe very much.

Now on the grassland, Arslen Khan already has absolute authority on the surface, but in fact, the tide is raging. All tribes are strengthening their own strength, and private alliances are not uncommon. As long as Arslen Khan makes any radical moves, At that time, there will definitely be an alliance composed of most tribes on the grassland.So now who has the heart to really work hard for Arslen Khan, it's just a perfunctory treatment for him.

Meng He is very aware of the difficulties he is facing, so he does not have strong control over the tribes. As long as the tribe leaders can still hear his orders, he will 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 according to the news from various scouts, he did not find Jia Ke's whereabouts.The bad feeling in Meng He's heart became stronger and stronger.

On this day, Meng He was in the big 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 found that Arslen Khan's garrison was weak and too close to the Southern Dynasty. If Jia Ke found out their direction at this time and charged with all their strength, Arslen Khan must have suffered heavy losses.

When Meng He thought of this possibility, he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately wrote a letter in the account and asked his own soldiers to send it to Zhangbei immediately.In the letter, he explained his judgment to Arslen Khan, and asked Arslen Khan to move northward for more than three hundred miles with his personal guards and family members. Zhangbei was too close to the Southern Dynasty and it was not safe.

Meng He sent out his soldiers on the front foot, and the messenger from Arslen Khan arrived on his back foot, reporting to him the news that Jia Ke had raided Zhangbei, Arslen Khan led people to escape overnight, and conveyed to him the news of Arslen Khan's death. Leng Khan ordered Menghe to go north to Zhangbei to rescue him.

Seeing what he was most worried about finally happened, Meng He felt anxious and helpless.At the same time, he praised Jia Ke, and sighed that Jia Ke really deserved his reputation, and he was really a difficult opponent to play with and applaud the whole Tatar.

Although Meng He felt sorry for Jia Ke and admired Jia Ke's use of troops, he would never let Jia Ke be the scourge at this time. He still thought that Jia Ke's threat was too great. The most important task now should be to eliminate Jia Ke. Instead of rescuing Arslen Khan.Meng He didn't think that Jia Ke would find Arslen Khan on the vast prairie.

After thinking for a while, Meng He immediately ordered a small group of cavalry to run at full speed with branches tied behind their horses, pretending that the army was supporting Zhang Bei, so as to attract Jia Ke's attention.And he led the real army and continued to ambush in the direction of Kaiping Town. If Jia Ke had fallen into the trick and avoided the troops going to support him, he would definitely kill him when he returned to Kaiping Town.
