Although Huo Jiu was tough at this time, he was actually soft in his heart, and he didn't dare to resist anymore. After all, when he came out to fight just now, he saw how sloppy the 2,000 men and horses he brought with him was, and he didn't dare to resist before he could do anything. Huo Jiu reluctantly followed Feng Mo to Jia Ke's Chinese army tent.

As soon as Huo Jiu entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw a young general, sitting in the center. Although he is not very old, the majesty on his body is not small, and there is a strong bloody atmosphere on his body. At first glance, he is a battle-hardened general.

At this time, Huo Jiu no longer dared to despise Jia Ke, not to mention anything else, the murderous aura on his body alone was much heavier than himself. At first glance, he is a ruthless character who kills people like hemp.

Feng Mo entered the tent, knelt on one knee and said to Jia Ke, "General Qiyu, Huo Jiu has been brought to the tent." ”

Jia Ke said indifferently: "Since you have brought it, you will go back to work and stand." ”

Feng Mo listened to Jia Ke's words, and immediately came to the top of the left, standing there straight and not speaking.

Huo Jiu saw this formation and knew that something was wrong. Hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "Huo Jiu, the commander of Xuanhua, has seen Jia Shoubei. ”

Jia Ke didn't give him a salute in return, but sat firmly in the center, and asked in a cold voice: "I was beating the drum just now, why didn't you come?" Are you deaf and don't hear the drums. ”

Huo Jiu was very unkind when he heard Jia Ke's words, and he was also annoyed at this time, and reprimanded Jia Ke loudly: "I gave you face just now, and you are shameless." Do you know who I am? I am the commander of Xuanhua, you are just a fourth-grade garrison, and the official position is not as high as the king of the Jinshui River, how dare you be so unreasonable to me, don't you know how to be humble? Don't know the etiquette of the imperial court? ”

Jia Ke heard that he had already started scolding, and he was not angry, but still asked in a cold voice: "I just beat the drum and gathered the generals, why didn't you come?" ”

"Okay, you Jia Ke, you're not done yet, now I'm going to deprive you of your military power in the name of the commander. From now on, all the armies will be deployed by me. No one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier without my orders. Huo Jiu said in a loud voice, in fact, he is now beating a drum in his heart, and he begins to expect this little guard to be intimidated by his own might, as long as he can escape this catastrophe, he must let this little guard know his strength at that time.

Jia Ke sat in the center and watched him walk like a clown, and couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jiu was even more annoyed below, and had already thrown out the idea that he had planned to endure for the time being at the beginning, and said with fire in his eyes: "You Jia Ke, who has no superiors, what are you laughing at now?" If you dare to disobey, wait for me to join you after the war. So that you can't eat and walk around. I know you have some skills, and I have heard of your reputation when I was in Xuanhua. But don't forget that the freedom of the court is not something you can do recklessly. ”

Jia Ke ignored him, turned to Huang Baifeng next to him and said, "Read the order of the military department to him, let him know why I control him, and let him know whether I am acting recklessly." ”

Huang Baifeng took a step forward and said to the people in the big tent: "The military department has an order: order the garrison Jia Ke to immediately send troops to rescue Xuanfu Town. The officers and soldiers encountered along the way, regardless of the size of the official position and the size of the troops, were all controlled by Jia Ke. If there is no reason, they will be summarily executed. ”

After Jia Ke finished reading Huang Baifeng, he turned around and said to Huo Jiu: "Did you hear clearly? This military order not only has the big seal of the lords of the military department, but also the emperor's jade seal, what do you say I should do with you now? ”

Huo Jiu suddenly came to his senses at this time, he was angry just now, and he said all his thoughts without considering the consequences at all, and then he felt scared, no wonder Jia Ke had never taken him seriously, it turned out that there was this document from the Ministry of War. With this document, Jia Ke is the commander of this rescue. Anyone who doesn't listen to orders, Jia Ke can be engaged in military law, and he threatened Jia Ke unscrupulously just now, and now I'm afraid he won't be able to pass this hurdle.

Huo Jiu couldn't care about anything at this time, and only thought about how to escape this catastrophe, so he knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded with Jia Ke: "Your Excellency is a humble and confused person, please look at me and spare my life for the sake of not knowing this order, I will definitely make a grass ring in the next life to repay the kindness of my lord." ”

Jia Ke had already made up his mind to cut him, not to mention that he was wantonly insulting himself just now, and he was personally annoyed, so at this time, he didn't care about his pleading, and announced loudly to the below: "Huo Jiu does not respect military orders, and intends to hold the officials hostage, control the military power, and plot against him." Not killing is not enough to correct military law. Come on, drag me out and behead me. ”

As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, several knife and axe men broke into the tent and dragged Huo Jiu out. Huo Jiu kept struggling and shouted: "My lord, you spare my life, spare my life." ”

Jia Ke sat on it as steady as Mount Tai, as if he hadn't heard. After a while, the voices outside turned from pleading to scolding. After a while, it suddenly disappeared.

Soon, there were knife and axe hands, dragging Huo Jiu's head on a wooden pallet, and entered the tent for Jia Ke to inspect. Jia Ke glanced at the head on the plate, and then said to the people below, "Many of you are serving under me for the first time, and you don't know my temper. Now I will tell you that the so-called credit on the battlefield will not be less than you, but if any of you dares to disobey the military order, this person will be your end. ”

The people below who had just entered Jia Ke's troops were all pale and trembling. They are all stragglers from various departments, who have just been incorporated by Jia Ke, and they don't know Jia Ke's temper yet.

Now seeing a commander, Jia Ke said that he would kill him, this is a member of the third grade. Originally, they were dissatisfied with Jia Ke's disrupting the original establishment and reorganizing the troops, but now they no longer dare to have any complaints.

Jia Ke saw that all the generals were frightened, and knew that it was almost over, so he said to the knife and axeman: "Hang this man's head on a high pole and show it to the people in the whole camp." Let all officers and soldiers know the fate of disobeying military orders. ”

The knife and axe man listened to Jia Ke's order, dragged the head and went out.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Jia Ke killed Huo Jiu, the monkey, and alerted a group of chickens below. So he said to the following: "Hurry back to eat and rest, and continue to leave early tomorrow morning, hoping to arrive in Xuanfu Town as soon as possible to relieve the danger of the adults." ”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time to disperse. After leaving the big tent, he talked about it while walking, and expressed his awe from the bottom of his heart for Jia Ke's decisiveness and spiciness. Any general who encounters this situation will at most put Huo Jiu under house arrest and wait until the end of the war to deal with the imperial court. And Jia Ke dared to kill him with military justice, no matter what the purpose was, such courage is really admirable.

Next, Jia Ke disrupted the gathered army and reorganized the plan, which went very smoothly. Almost all the generals did not dare to disobey, after this time Jia Ke was completely in control of the newly collected 10,000 horses, these people after a simple grouping, although they could not collide head-on with the Tatars, but on the side of the flag shouting, some good luck battles are still possible.

Early the next morning, the army set out again. This time, the newly reinstated personnel also tried their best to walk neatly like the soldiers of Taiping Town, although they could not be perfect, but they had done their best. After all, they are not trained in this area. However, Jia Ke thinks that they have this attitude is already very good, which shows that they are actively moving closer to Kaiping Town.

The army marched for another day and a half, and finally approached the town of Xuanfu at noon on this day.

As soon as Jia Ke led the army to Xuanfu Town, countless Tatar cavalry roamed around, and Jia Ke also sent his own cavalry to drive them aside and prevent them from getting close to his main force. At the same time, the pace of the march was slowed down, and the army in Kaiping Town was even more lined up in a neat Macedonian phalanx. The newly assembled troops were also armed with steel swords and shields, and tried to maintain the same neat formation as the Macedonian phalanx. This made the Tatars have no chance to take advantage of it, and can only monitor this team of tens of thousands of people from a distance, slowly approaching Xuanfu Town.

Arslen Khan received a secret report the day before, which said: Jia Ke took 10,000 horses and set out from Kaiping Town to rescue Xuanfu Town, and these secret reports were sent to Arslen Khan by Tang Kui of Kaiping Town after obtaining Jia Ke's consent. The purpose is to continue to disguise Tang Kui's identity. Moreover, the men and horses led by Jia Ke are so powerful that it is impossible to hide at all, so it is better to send this news in advance to cover for Tang Kui.

Arslen Khan was overjoyed at the time, and he was defeated at the hands of Jake last year. However, he thought that Jia Ke refused to defend the city back then, and then Jia Ke was brave and good at fighting, which made his troops lose their sharpness at the beginning, which made him have to retreat. Now that the position of the host and guest has changed, this time to see how Jia Ke fought against his hundreds of thousands of horses, he arranged for the probe to listen to the news of Jia Ke's march along the way, and at the same time sent men and horses, preparing to give him a time to wait for him when Jia Ke arrived in Xuanfu Town, so that he would also suffer the consequences this time.

When Arslen Khan knew that Jia Ke would definitely arrive today, he waited for news from Jia Ke in the big tent to see if he could avoid this surprise attack.

Nor did he pay Arslen Khan's hopes, and went to the Malay newspaper at noon.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, found Jia Ke's army 30 miles to the north."

Arslen Khan finally got the accurate news, and said with a sigh of relief: "What can he do if he has less than 10,000 men and horses?" Did our men start raiding him? ”

When the following tanma heard Arslen Khan say this, he was stunned for a moment, and he was afraid that something would make a mistake and hurriedly reported to Arslen Khan: "Great Khan, the people and horses who came are not 10,000, I see that the other party is boundless, at least more than 20,000 people." Moreover, the military appearance is clean, and at first glance, it is the elite of the Southern Dynasty. Our cavalry couldn't find a flaw in several surprise attacks, and they didn't dare to rush hard for fear of bringing too many casualties, and only monitored them nearby? ”

When Arslen Khan heard this, he was also stunned, he received a secret report from a spy in Kaiping Town, saying that Jia Ke only brought 10,000 people, why is it now more than 20,000 people? Could it be that the other centaurs have conjured up? However, the most likely thing is that it was a rout recruited along the way, and Arslen Khan was also a veteran of the battlefield, and after a little thought, it became clear where these centaurs came from. But he was also very curious about how Jia Ke had managed to make these centaurs so well-trained in such a short period of time.
