The leaders of the eight tribes came to Jia Ke's Chinese army tent, first gave Jia Ke a salute, and then stood on both sides, waiting for Jia Ke's orders.

Jia Ke sat in the center, thought for a moment, then looked at them and said: "The Tatars have learned to be obedient this time, and they have actually played a trick with me to avoid a fight, there are still things in the capital, and I don't have time to spend with them." This time I asked you to come so that you could send out cavalry and pack up all the grain convoys around the Tatars. ”

As the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner, Ji Zhigra was an impatient, and now after listening to Jia Ke's words, he immediately shouted: "Master don't worry, I will take the cavalry to sweep the vicinity, so that all the nearby Tatar tribes will be turned into powder." ”

Jia Ke looked at him who was eager to grab the merit, and smiled slightly: "You go back first, listen to my arrangement." ”

Only then did Jizhigra obediently retreat into the ranks of the crowd.

Jia Ke looked at the appearance of these people below gearing up, and he was still very pleased, he had raised them for so many years, and now it finally came in handy.

"This time, I am going to send four tribes to disperse around the Tatars, destroy his grain and grass transportation lines, and wipe out the nearby Tatar tribes, and I will let Arslen Khan not get a grain of grain."

When Jia Ke arrived here, he then ordered: "Ji Ri Ge, Ji Ya, Meng Jia Kehe, Mu Ren. ”

When the leader heard Jia Ke's order, he immediately came out, knelt down in the middle, and listened to Hou Jiake's orders.

"Each of you will take your own cavalry and scatter it in the four directions of the Tatar camp, and see if the Tatar grain and grass transportation line is found and attack immediately, and at the same time check if there are any tribes near the Tatars to follow, and if there are tribes, immediately annihilate them all."

When these four people got Jia Ke's order, they immediately bowed down and clasped their fists and said, "We will obey the master's orders." ”

After saying that, the four men left the big tent together and returned to the stations of the various tribes to start reorganizing the army.

The other four Eight Banner Commanders who remained in Jia Ke's tent all looked at Jia Ke with blank eyes, wanting him to give an order to go out and make meritorious contributions.

Jia Ke looked at them like motherless children, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions." We can't send all the cavalry out this time, and in case the Alslen Khan dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, we must also be prepared. ”

These 4 tribes can only sigh and go back, these people can now be said to be loyal to Jia Ke, their hearts are like iron stones, seeing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Jia Ke, they are naturally desperate to move forward, and these four people who were left behind think that they are no worse than the four leaders who went out, so they are a little depressed this time.

But Jia Ke didn't dare to send out all the cavalry, because as time went by, there would be less and less grain and grass in the clouds of Arslen Khan, and time would force them to come out and fight Jia Ke.

After Ji Riga and the other four Eight Banner commanders returned to their stations, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately lit their respective soldiers and horses, they discussed it, divided the direction of the main responsibility, and quietly left from the rear camp with the men and horses.

When these people left the camp with their men and horses, it was like a dragon entering the sea, and when they arrived on the grassland, it was the place where they could display their skills.

Not to mention others, but only Jizhigra, he took his headquarters of 30,000 cavalry, came to the path of the Tatars to the west, and sent scouts to search everywhere, and this direction he was responsible for was the most likely to encounter the Tatar grain team.

And it just so happened that there was a grain convoy that was about to transport grain and grass to the Tatar camp these days.

And because this unit did not do this kind of thing very often, its defense was very lax, and hundreds of large trucks dragged a distance of more than ten miles along the way.

And this situation was very clearly seen by the horses of Jizhigra, who, after discovering this army, sent men to continue to follow the grain convoy and reported to their commander.

Ji Zhigra was overjoyed to get the news, this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to himself.

So the men and horses of the headquarters of Jizhigra in this issue quickly whipped up and went straight to the direction of this grain team.

And the leader of this grain team has not transported grain and grass twice, and every time it is safe, so he is very lax.

When Girigera and his cavalry were three miles away from the grain caravan, the leader of the Liang team heard the dense hooves of the horses and felt bad.

But now it was too late for him to do anything, and Jizhigra led the cavalry to rush up, and slashed at those who had spread out for more than ten miles to protect the grain.

Without half an hour's effort, there was no one left in this grain team.

Gizhigra nodded in satisfaction, turned over and dismounted, came to the side of the carts, and casually cut open a sack with his knife.

Immediately golden millet flowed from inside, and Jizhigela took a handful of it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then Jiri Gradan ordered his men and horses to drive these carts to the camp of Jake in high spirits.

And things like Jizhigra today, and then the next few days happened frequently in the steppe, those transport teams were not completely wiped out, and no one was able to escape back to report the news to Arslen Khan.

Arslen Khan stayed in the camp for a few days, and when Jia Ke sent people to challenge him every day, he went to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not fight.

The two sides were at such a stalemate, and after a month of hard work, Jia Ke simply did not fight, and the two sides looked at each other in the camp like this, but there was no fight.

This time, Arslen Khan did his best, and all the grain and grass needed by the troops were transported from the Western Regions, and among the Tatars, the tribes also had to bear a lot of pressure, and the cattle and horses in their tribes kept rushing to Gubeikou, just so that the 400,000 soldiers could eat and drink.

Arslen Khan thought he was proud of his ambition and was happy when suddenly Meng He broke into the big tent.

Arslen Khan's face suddenly became gloomy, "Meng He, why did you trespass into my big tent without notification?" ”

Arslen Khan thinks that if everyone is like this, then he will not be safe in the future.

Meng He also knew that he had Meng Lang this time, so he quickly knelt on the ground, "Please forgive the Great Khan, and I will be willing to be punished in the end." ”

Arslen Khan saw that Meng He's attitude was not bad, and besides, Meng He was his confidant, and he had made a lot of contributions to his crusade and west, so this time he could only let him go gently.

"Forget it this time, and the next time it will be severely punished."

Meng He breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Arslen Khan had become a little moody over the years, and their henchmen were a little scared, let alone others.

"What's the matter with you barging in in such a hurry?"

"Back to the Great Khan, there is only enough grain and grass in the camp for more than 10 days, and I have not seen the grain transport team come these days, I am worried, so I came to talk to the Great Khan."

Arslen Khan was stunned when he heard this, knowing that the grain and grass should have arrived a long time ago, and something happened on the road.

Arslen Khan was in a cold sweat when he thought of this, Jia Ke is not an easy person to deal with, he has been standing still these days, he is not waiting for him here.

Arslen Khan immediately ordered his own soldiers, "Go and call me the man in charge of the grain and grass." ”

The soldier promised to go out into battle at once, and it didn't take long for the soldier to lead the leader of a tribe into the big tent.

Arslen Khan stared at this person for a long time, and then asked gloomily: "I just heard Meng He say that the grain and grass are only enough for half a month, why don't you come to report me?" ”

The leader of the tribe is named Binta, and he is the leader of a small tribe, because he first followed Arslen Khan, so the tribe has grown a little stronger in recent years, so he followed closely behind Arslen Khan.

This time Arslen Khan went south, and Binta, because he was most loyal to him, was appointed governor of grain.

In fact, this Binta had already known that there was a shortage of food and grass, or he was afraid that after Arslen Khan knew the reason, he thought that he was not capable enough, so he temporarily concealed the matter, and instead sent the warriors of his tribe to pick up the grain team.

As a result, the warriors in the tribe had not yet returned, and they were sued by Meng He.

Binta can't hide it until now, so he can only tell the truth.

Arslen Khan, you were furious when you heard this, "Okay, you Binta, how bold are you to dare to conceal military information." ”

Binta saw that Alslen was angry, and he was already frightened like a sifting chaff, kneeling there and kowtowing.

Artlen Khan, you didn't even look at him, and said to your swaggering soldiers: "Drag it out and behead it for public display." ”

When Arslen Khan's personal soldiers heard the order, they immediately stepped forward and dragged the man out, and it was not long before one of his personal soldiers dragged the man's head into the big tent and spoke back to them.

Arslen Khan waved his hand to let his soldiers drag the man's head down, and then said to Meng He on the side: "What now? What do you have in mind? ”

Meng He is also a little numb now? In this way, Jia Ke sent cavalry to intercept his own team of grain and grass.

The Tatars have always fed their wars with war, and this is the first time they have sent grain and grass to the front on a large scale. Therefore, the experience was not sufficient, so Jake seized the opportunity to attack several times, and in the past month, not a single grain of grain and grass has been transported into the Tatar camp.

Meng He knew that the matter was critical, so he could only say to Arslen Khan: "Great Khan, the current situation can only be a temporary retreat. ”

As soon as Arslen Khan heard this, he immediately became angry, he was very sensitive to the matter of being forced to withdraw from the army, when he was in Xuanfu Town, he was cut off from the water source by Jia Ke, so there was infighting in his eyes, so he was forced to retreat.

"You must not withdraw the army, if you withdraw this time, it will be a waste of all your efforts, when Jia Kexie wins a great victory and returns to the Southern Dynasty, you can start to eliminate dissidents, and when Jia Ke completely controls the Southern Dynasty, we can't help ourselves whether we live or die."

Meng He knew that what Arslen Khan said was the truth, but at the moment, there was a shortage of food and grass, and he didn't know what to do next.

Arslen Khan sat on the throne and thought for a while, and directly ordered: "Meng He, you take 30,000 cavalry to meet the grain team, if you encounter the opponent's stragglers, don't worry about him." If you encounter a large army, you feel that if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will retreat, and the main purpose is to transport grain and grass to the camp as soon as possible. ”

Meng He got the order, so he could only clench his fists and go down to carry it out.
