After Arslen Khan pacified Sobud, he ordered people to blow the horn of the bull, gather the chiefs of the tribes, and gather in the king's tent.

When the chiefs of the tribes heard the horn and knew that it was Arslen Khan who was summoning, they must have something important to discuss, so they hurried to the king's tent, and soon dozens of tribal leaders were gathered in the king's tent. Each flaunted the wealth they had gained during this southern invasion and became noisy.

Seeing that they didn't look like words, Arslen Khan slapped his hand on the table and chair. He shouted, "Do you still have me, the Great Khan, in your eyes, and don't you see me?" ”

The Tatars were originally a steppe people, and they did not pay much attention to etiquette. However, since Arslen Khan ascended the throne, he began to pay attention to etiquette, and various regulations became more and more strict. The chiefs of the tribes, though they complained. But such a trivial matter did not violate their core interests, and there was no need to deal with the Great Khan, and there was no opposition.

I was excited just now, and I had long forgotten about this matter to the clouds, and at this time, when I saw Arslen Khan angry, I remembered the etiquette, and hurriedly knelt on the ground one by one, kowtowing to Arslen Khan to make amends.

Seeing that they were soft, Arslen Khan's face softened, and he didn't pursue it too much. just said on it: "Forget it this time, and if you don't understand etiquette in the future, you will definitely be punished heavily." ”

The tribal leaders replied in unison: "Obey the orders of the Great Khan, and dare not forget it in the future." ”

Arslen Khan was just that, and at this time, the leaders of the various tribes also stood on both sides according to the regulations.

Arslen Khan said to them: "Sobud of the Tumer tribe encountered a strong enemy when he attacked Kaipingwei. Carelessly, he was defeated by the enemy, and now the warriors in the department have suffered heavy losses. Look, what's next? ”

Although Bayar of the Evenki Department tried his best to satirize Sobud just now, at this time he stood in the interests of the entire Tatars, afraid that everyone would think that if they didn't care about it this time, if their tribe had problems in the future, others would stand by and watch, and then the Tatars would become a plate of scattered sand, so they were the first to stand up and speak for Sobud: "Great Khan, the Tumer Department has suffered heavy losses this time, and it is for my entire Tatar people, we can't ignore it, and this defeat will greatly hurt the morale of my Tatars, and I won't wait for revenge, If such a situation happens again in the future, which tribe will dare to move forward? Therefore, I ask the Great Khan to immediately send troops to break through the Kaiping Guard to avenge the death of our warriors. ”

Arslen Khan was very satisfied when he heard Bayar's words, and it seemed that he still took the overall situation into account.

Sobud didn't expect Bayar to say that, and he looked at Bayard in surprise.

After listening to Bayar's words, Arslen Khan said to the chiefs of the tribes below: "Everyone has heard Bayar's words, and I think it is still very reasonable. ”

The tribal leaders below, hearing the tone of Arslen Khan, had obviously agreed to Bayar's suggestion, and no one came out to oppose the scenery.

So all the mouths below said that they would step on the Kaiping Guard to avenge the dead Tatar warriors.

Seeing that there was no opposition, Arslen Khan ordered: "Gather your men and horses, and leave half of them to guard the prisoners and booty. The others brought plenty of food and grass and fodder for horses. Set off overnight, surround Kaipingwei, and be sure to step on Kaipingwei as powder. ”

The leaders of the various tribes under the king's tent received the order together: "Obey the command of the Great Khan." ”

Arslen Khan waved his hand to the lower and said, "You go down and prepare immediately, and when you are ready, you will set off immediately, without delay." This time I went in person, I went to see the little Kaipingwei, what powerful people are? The warriors who can break so many of me. ”

The departure of the army was no small matter, and all kinds of things had to be prepared, and it was not until the afternoon that they were ready.

So the Tatar army, one man and two horses, set out at once. In the middle of the night, it arrived dozens of miles outside Kaipingwei.

It was only at this time that he encountered the patrolling horse team of Kaipingwei. This is actually Jia Ke, who has shallow combat experience and is not thoughtful enough, and he did not expect the Tatars to make a comeback at all. It was the result of this almost sneak attack.

Arslen Khan led a large army to the periphery of Kaipingwei. On the one hand, he ordered people to block the main roads around Kaipingwei to prevent anyone from escaping, and on the other hand, he ordered people to strengthen the vigilance to prevent Kaipingwei from sneaking attack. The rest of the people set up camp, prepared a full meal, and rested for a while. Tomorrow, one will take Kaiping Wei in one go.

Besides, Kaiping Weinei, after knowing that the Tatars were coming, immediately mobilized nervously. Whether it is a full-fledged soldier or an ordinary young man. Either they were carrying supplies to the head of the city, or they were standing at the head of the city and looking out to watch carefully, for fear that the Tatars would attack at night.

After Jia Ke finished arranging the military guard task, he called Chen Xi, the chief bookkeeper in charge of logistics, to the hall of Qianhu Mansion. Ask him whether the materials used in Kaipingwei's defense are complete.

Chen Xi replied at the time: "My lord, Kaipingwei has always been a border fortress, and the defense materials stored are not only very complete, but also very amazing. Among them, the grain and grass can be eaten for half a year, and there are more than a dozen deep wells in Kaiping Weibao, and there is no problem with drinking water for personnel and livestock. As long as we have enough personnel, we can confront the Tatars for a long time. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words, and then he was relieved. Ordered Chen Xi to go down and organize personnel to carry materials to the city wall.

After Jia Ke sent Chen Xi down, he called Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai had been appointed by Jia Ke as one of the hundred households of the pro-army team at this time, and he was one of Jia Ke's cronies.

Soon Zheng Kai came to Qianhu Mansion, and after Jia Ke saw him, he said to him directly without nonsense: "You put down all other things now, take your people, and patrol and monitor in Kaiping Wei day and night." I suspect that there are Tatar spies in Kaipingwei. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the previous Qianhu to die so strangely. ”

Zheng Kai is now loyal to Jia Ke, and as soon as he heard Jia Ke's orders, he immediately took his cavalry team to patrol in Kaiping Wei without saying a word. Anyone who finds a ghost head and a suspicious whereabouts, regardless of the reason, will be arrested first.

Jia Ke saw that everything was in order, and he did not feel sleepy, so he recruited his own soldiers and went to the head of the Kaiping Acropolis to observe the situation of the Tatars first.

When Jia Ke arrived at the head of the city, he looked down condescendingly and looked outside, only to see that nothing could be seen clearly in the dark outside the city, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves from time to time. Presumably, the Tatar cavalry was patrolling around in case they were attacked.

He found that the Tatars had some way of guarding against sneak attacks. The last time the Tatars attacked, a large number of scouts were arranged outside, and this time it was much the same.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the Tatars' unstable foothold and take people out to attack him. Now it seems that if you sneak attack, you will definitely fail.

It seems that tomorrow during the day will be a vicious battle. I must find a way to delay time, otherwise the little Kaipingwei may not be able to wait for the time when Jiedu makes Wang Tao come to help.

Jia Ke thought about it carefully and decided to take a small number of cavalry out of the city tomorrow to challenge, he had heard that the Tatars had always valued warriors. If the other party does not go out of the city to challenge, it will inevitably greatly damage morale. If you go into battle, you will be killing its generals, and you can also greatly demoralize the enemy.

If you challenge yourself for several days in a row, and the enemy comes to fight, then you can buy a few days for Kaipingwei. When the time comes, Jiedu will make Wang Tao lead troops to help, and he and he should cooperate with each other, and they will definitely be able to break the Tatars.

With this idea in mind, Jia Ke ordered someone to find him a leeward position at the head of the city. Lie down and rest so that you can recharge your batteries and go out of the city tomorrow to fight the Tatars.
