The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 588 Retreat
Although Arslen Khan was a little unhappy when he heard Meng He's words, he still thought about it rationally. Now Jia Ke didn't have much loss. I can't stand it anymore.

Maybe other people don't know the specific situation, but Arslen Khan knows his own affairs. The grain and grass needed by these hundreds of thousands of soldiers are all transported thousands of miles from the Western Regions. Such a long supply, ten carts of grain arrived in Tatar Only three wagons remained in the camp of the Tartars.

With such a huge loss, Arslen Khan can barely support it by squeezing the Western Regions. If the stalemate continues, the Western Regions have just calmed down, and it will turn against them again.

So Arslen Khan could only nod helplessly.

Seeing that everyone kept nodding in agreement with his words, Meng He continued, "I think that Jia Ke's attack this time may be due to something happening in the rear, which is why he had to go out and fight us."

Arslen Khan was a little surprised after hearing this: "Since this is the case, isn't it time for us to fight Jia Ke? As long as we drag the jacket and there is turmoil behind him, then the day of Jia Ke's defeat will not be far away."

Meng He shook his head after listening, and then said solemnly: "Now is the most dangerous time for us. There are tens of thousands of cavalry from Jia Ke on the grasslands harassing everywhere. I am afraid that the long-term will not be able to support it."

When Meng He finished his sentence, everyone remembered that there were tens of thousands of Jia Ke's cavalry wandering around on the grassland, ready to pounce on them and bite them at any time like a hungry wolf.

Arslen Khan also frowned tightly. Tatars have always fought guerrillas with others. This time, Jia Ke dispatched elite cavalry to fight guerrillas with him. Now he knows that at that time the distress of those enemies.

"This cavalry is really annoying, but it's still not enough to make us retreat. What do Meng and you think, let us know."

Meng He cupped his hands again, and said to everyone in the battle: "This cavalry is indeed not enough to make us afraid, but what I am most worried about is Jia Ke. This Jia Ke is brave and good at fighting. Since his debut, he has been invincible and invincible."

Arslen Khan also nodded when he heard this. He has experienced Jia Ke's power many times, and almost his life was in the hands of the jacket.

"This time when Jia Ke came to attack, I knew Jia Ke's determination. He even swung his army and broke our stronghold in a short while. Although I asked him to retreat temporarily, his main force has not been lost and the morale of the army is stable. If we continue to attack , I'm afraid we really can't stop him."

After Meng He said this, the tribal leaders and generals in Tibet were a little terrified.

The battle this morning let them know how powerful Jia Ke was. If Meng He hadn't blocked Jia Ke, few of them would have been able to return to the grassland alive.

Arslen Khan also started to break out in a cold sweat. This time, because of the [-] armored cavalry in his hole card, most of the opponent's Mo Dao soldiers killed him in the first round, and he was surrounded and killed by the infantry led by Jia Ke in the second round. Every time he thought of this, He was startled.

Arslen Khan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, knowing that he might just want to stay and fight Jia Ke, and the people below had lost their minds.

"Meng He, what do you think we should do next?"

"Returning to the Great Khan, the general thinks that we should retreat to the grassland now and recuperate for a few years. Over the years, we have been fighting on the grassland. The warriors are starting to get tired. If this continues, the warriors will get bored. It's easy to tidy up."

Arslen Khan also nodded. In the past few years, he first fought in the Western Regions, and now he is going to fight against the Southern Dynasty. Although the warriors on the grassland are brave, they are already mentally exhausted.

And this time against Jia Ke is a proof. Although Jia Ke is brave, he also has hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry under his command, and based on the fact that he was guarding Dazhai, Jia Ke was able to break through so easily. This shows that the soldiers are no longer desperate. The mind of rebellion.

Although Arslen Khan was reluctant, his rationality prevailed, "Meng He's plan is exactly what I want. Let's rest for three days and then retreat back to the grassland."

As soon as Arslen Khan made a decision, the people below also breathed a sigh of relief. These people have been fighting non-stop for these years, and now they also want to go home and see the old and the young.

Arslen Khan pondered for a while, and then asked Meng He, "Now that Jia Ke is becoming more and more powerful, it is a serious problem for my Tatars. Meng He, what can you do to completely defeat Jia Ke?"

Meng He scratched his head after hearing this. This Jia Ke was cautious and brave in fighting. It was almost impossible to defeat him on the battlefield.

And Jia Ke's foundation in the Southern Dynasty has become more and more stable, almost like a hedgehog, people have nowhere to start.

But Arslen Khan had already asked, and he had to answer, so Meng He thought desperately, and finally said helplessly: "The time for us to defeat Jia Ke has passed. If we attack him desperately when he is weak, It may be possible to defeat Jia Ke, but now that Jia Ke has so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, it is almost impossible to defeat him on the frontal battlefield."

Arslen Khan was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Should we wait for Jia Ke to lead the soldiers to wipe out the grassland?"

Meng He said helplessly: "If we want to fight Jia Ke, we can't fight him near Nanchao. We can only lure the enemy into the desert and lead Jia Ke into the desert, so that he has no food and grass, and the terrain is unfamiliar. Let Jia Ke have a flaw, and then it can be broken."

Arslen Khan stood up and walked a few steps in the big tent, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Meng He with shining eyes: "The general's plan is exactly what I want. This time, let's go back to recuperate, and then send out The cavalry harassed Jia Ke's border, so that Jia Ke finally couldn't bear it, and led the soldiers deep into the grassland, and then we will let Jia Ke never come back."

After hearing what Arslen Khan said, Meng He felt that he had taken it for granted.Now the troops on the nine borders of the Southern Dynasties are very brave and good at fighting. Even if I send people to harass them, I am afraid that the gains will not be worth the losses. In the end, no one may be in a hurry.

But Meng He didn't dare to confront Arslen Khan face to face, so he could only stand there silently.

The other tribesmen and generals in the big tent all thought that Arslen Khan's plan was good, so they kept flattering him, and they only made Arslen Khan feel a little bit flattered.

Arslen Khan was there, listening excitedly to the constant compliments from the people below. Suddenly he saw Meng He silent there, and immediately became a little sober. Now he is still far away from Jia Ke's army, so he is not happy when.

Arslen Khan quickly ordered: "Immediately send scouts to check on the situation of Jia Ke's army at any time. At the same time, each department rectifies the troops and prepares to return to the grassland in three days."

After everyone listened to Arslen Khan's order, they responded with a bang.

Then the Tatars sent out scouting horses, and at the same time began to organize their luggage and prepare to retreat.

Besides, after Jia Ke led the army back to the camp, he was a little annoyed. He had never been tricked by others since he went out to fight.

In the early morning of the second day, Jia Ke immediately ordered to beat drums and gather generals, and all the generals from all ministries were found in the main tent of the Chinese army.

Jia Ke sat in the middle and said to the bottom: "Yesterday we broke through the Tatar camp, but when I was chasing, I was a little negligent and fell into Meng He's trick, but our loss is not big, I want to rest In a few days, attack again, and this time the entire Tatar army must be wiped out."

The generals below kept nodding their heads after listening to it. Yesterday's stop went smoothly, but they were tricked by Meng He in the end, and they were not convinced.

Seeing that the morale was still strong, Jia Ke continued to order: "Immediately send scout horses to find out the whereabouts of the Tatars. The other ministries should rest and wait for orders at any time. Follow me into battle."

Jia Ke is already a little frustrated now. On the surface this time, it seems that he has not lost much, but Jia Ke's prestige has been greatly lost.

In the past, Jia Ke was an invincible god, but now people have discovered that the god in their eyes may also be defeated.

Although Jia Ke's general trend has been achieved now, the loss of prestige can still be tolerated, but after all, no one wants to leave a stain.

What's more, Jia Ke's purpose is to become the founding monarch, so he naturally wants to leave a perfect life in history, and he didn't expect to set a precedent here today.

What's more, Jia Ke is also very worried about the current affairs in the capital. Jia Ke thought that the Tatars were just a group of rogues on the grassland. If Arslen Khan was defeated within a short period of time, the affairs of the capital could only be handled by Fan Kang.

In the next few days, the scouts sent by Arslen Khan and Jia Ke fought hand-to-hand on the grassland with a radius of tens of miles.

They tempted each other, attacked each other, and sometimes hid each other. As a result, these people who were originally inquiring about the news became the main force of the confrontation these days.

When Arslen Khan received the news that Jia Ke had sent out a group of scouts, who were constantly inquiring about information on his own side, he knew that Jia Ke hadn't given up and wanted to continue the attack.

Arslen Khan admired Meng He a little now, and it was exactly as he expected. In this case, he retreated first. If Jia Ke came to attack, he would deal with him on the grassland. If he didn't attack, he would just retreat and go back to rest.

So on the third day, Arslen Khan led the army to set up camp and head towards the northern grassland.

This time it was still Meng He who led 5 cavalry to break the rear.

Naturally, the Tatars could not hide such a big move from others. Jia Ke got the news not long after Arslen Khan left.

Jia Ke didn't immediately order the troops to pursue, but thought about it in the big tent. Did the opponent really retreat, or did they leave an ambush for him?
In the end, Jia Ke decided to try it out, so he sent his own soldiers to send an order to Huang Baifeng, the Jiedu envoy of Xuanfu Town, ordering him to take [-] cavalry from Xuanfu Town and [-] cavalry from Zhongzheng and Blue Banners of the Eight Banners to attack the Tartars immediately. Tartar.

The reason why Jia Ke sent Muren there was because he was very stable and not easy to fall for the enemy's tricks.
