Two days after Jia Mu left the capital, Jia Ke once again got the news from the border pass, Arslen Khan with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, has been on the grassland to swear, and is now traveling day and night, rushing to Gubeikou.

Jia Ke knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he also took the three major battalions and the infantry to lead the yamen, and the elite of the forbidden army and began to go north.

As soon as Jia Ke left the capital, the defense in the capital immediately relaxed.

And some princes and nobles in the capital also began to become active, they conspired with each other, secretly conspired, and did not know what was being discussed.

And Fan Kang, as a guard in the capital, had already discovered this kind of thing, but he did not interfere. Instead, he ordered his spies to keep a close watch on them.

Fan Kang himself was also preparing to evacuate the capital, and in Baoding, Baoding Jiedu made secret arrangements for Chun Yuhua.

At this time, a large net has been opened near the capital, and when the fish in the lake begin to be exposed, they can be caught in one net.

And the fish in the lake didn't know that danger was approaching, and they were now making a lot of noise.

Among them, King Chungshun was the most active, and he joined forces with each other, almost all the royal families were brought together, and they secretly plotted several times about how to carry out a coup d'état.

If it is natural for the Zhongshun King and these people to launch a coup d'état, what makes Fan Kang wonder is that the four kings and eight princes also began to be restless.

To say that the Four Kings and Eight Princes, Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu are almost both prosperous and lossy, they never thought that these people would oppose Jia Ke.

But that's the way it is, the more you don't expect it, the more it will happen, and these people from the Four Kings and Eight Princes are also in frequent contact now, and some of them even have a relationship with the King of Zhongshun, and it seems that they want to act together.

Wei Kun was busy with his feet on the ground during this time, in order to monitor these people, he spent a lot of effort, if it is said that it is the king of Zhongshun and these royal families, it is better to say, because Jia Ke has long been afraid of them, so the monitoring of them has long been arranged.

But for the four kings and eight princes, these people and the Jia family can be said to be a friendship for several lifetimes, and a friendship from the battlefield, so the monitoring of these people is still relatively weak, and it can even be said that only a few people are planted on the periphery.

Now these people suddenly became active, which caught Wei Kun a little off guard, so Wei Kun immediately began to remedy, either buying with money or coercing and luring, and finally installed several important positions among these people.

Now the monitoring of the four kings and eight princes, although it cannot be said to be comprehensive, there is finally any big action that can be notified in advance, so as not to become blind.

Besides, Jia Ke commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he could only walk forty or fifty miles a day all the way.

It took six days to arrive at Gubeikou, and Luo Cen, the commander of the Xiaocai battalion who had been stationed here for many years, had already waited for Jia Ke by the side of the road with his generals.

Luo Cen waited from morning to noon before he saw the wind and dust rising in the distance, and knew that a large group of people were coming this way.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw a pair of troops marching in pairs.

These people were also severely disciplined during the march, and no one talked in a whisper, and this atmosphere of solemnity was shocking even when Luo Czen saw it.

Luo Cen is also surprised now, when he left, the army of the three major battalions was a few stragglers, and they were useless. Unexpectedly, during the time of leaving, the three major battalions had already become elite, although they were not as good as the cavalry battalion under his command, but they were able to hold on to the Tatars.

After a while, Luo Cen saw a big red flag fluttering in the wind on the flagpole, with a big Jia character in the center of the flag, and a big flag next to it, which read "Yan Guogong, Prime Minister, General Leader of the National Affairs".

Roczen hurriedly dismounted and ran a few steps forward to the flag.

At this time, there was a general under the banner, with a golden helmet on his head, gold armor on his body, and two heart-protecting mirrors on his chest, shining brightly, emitting infinite light under the sun.

As soon as Luo Cen saw Jia Ke in military uniform, he felt very cordial, and Jia Ke was also wearing this armor back then, leading them in and out of the Tatar army.

When Luo Cen came to Jia Kema, he immediately knelt down on his knees, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "The last general, Luo Ceng, I have seen the handsome." ”

Jia Ke sat on the horse and looked at the former hundred households, the current general of the unified army, and said with a smile: "Get up." “

Then he said, "How? Have you had a good time in Gubeikou all these years? ”

Luo Cen stood up and replied to Jia Ke with a smile: "Thanks to the big handsome, it's okay, but it's not as comfortable as before being next to the big handsome." ”

Next, Jia Ke exchanged a few words with him, and then ordered the army to settle under the city of Gubeikou, and he entered Gubeikou with all the generals.

Jia Ke came to Gubeikou, Luo Cen's yamen, implanted in the lobby, and then sat down on the main seat in the lobby, and the rest of the generals were standing on both sides.

After Jia Ke sat down, he asked, "Are the Eight Banners here?" ”

Luo Cen hurriedly came out of the class and said: "Back to the big handsome, the steps of the Eight Banners have all been completed, and the eight commanders of the Eight Banners are still outside the city, so I don't need to inform them to come and meet them." ”

Jia Ke asked strangely, "Why don't you let them rest in the city?" ”

Luo Cen listened to Jia Ke's question, and said with a serious face: "Although they are the subordinates of the commander, but the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different, and I will not dare to let them enter the city for the safety of Gubeikou, and I will also ask the commander to punish him." ”

Jia Ke nodded after listening, Luo Cen didn't know his secret, and it was understandable to have such an idea.

After all, no one would have thought that the millions of Eight Banners would be loyal to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't blame, but directly ordered: "Immediately send the Eight Banners Commander to see him." ”

The heralds below listened to Jia Ke's orders, and immediately ran out and gave orders to the Eight Banners outside the city.

I didn't wait for two sticks of incense, but I heard a noisy voice outside, and then a soldier came in to report: "Marshal Qiqi, the commander of the Eight Banners outside is asking to see you outside." ”

"Pass them in."

After this military was out, eight commanders were brought out from outside.

These eight people entered the lobby, and as soon as they saw Jia Ke, they immediately knelt down on their knees and said in unison: "Wait, slave, I've seen the master." ”

Jia Ke nodded, and said with a serious face: "Get up and stand down on both sides." ”

Only then did these eight people stand up, find a place among the generals, and stand up to each other.

When Jia Ke saw that everyone had arrived, he asked like Tang Kuai standing in the line, "What is the situation of the Tatars now?" Where has their army been? ”

As the person mainly responsible for the intelligence of the northern grasslands, Tang Kuo naturally stood up to return to Jia Ke: "Marshal Qiqi, Arslen Khan led hundreds of thousands of horses to march, the speed is not fast, and now there are still more than 200 miles away from Gubeikou. It will take three or four days to arrive. ”

After hearing this, Jia Ke nodded, and asked again, "What is the composition of their forces this time?" How is the equipment? ”

"Back to the commander, this time the Tatars are no different from before, they are still mainly Tatar cavalry, but these people are not well equipped. However, the mercenaries they brought from the Western Regions were well equipped, and many of them even wore leather armor. ”

Jia Ke frowned a little when he heard this, but soon he was relieved, when it comes to equipment, now Jia Ke's soldiers and horses are much stronger than before.

In the original time when Jia Ke was in charge of Xuanfu Town, almost all of the men and horses he waved down were wearing paper armor, although the defense was good, but it was still worse than the iron armor.

When Jia Ke became the Minister of Military Aircraft, he began to focus on improving the quality of equipment for the soldiers he swung, although it is not easy to build iron armor, and the equipment is difficult, but in the past few years, Jia Ke has still successively equipped tens of thousands of pieces for his troops, and these people have formed an iron army of 20,000 people.

Everyone in this army was strong and tall men from the north, dressed in iron armor and armed with swords.

This army was created by Jia Ke in imitation of the Mo Dao team in the Tang Dynasty.

After this army was built, Jia Ke watched their military drills.

I saw the army marching, although the speed was not fast, but it made people feel that there was an iron mountain pressing on, and wherever there was an obstacle in front of them, the people and horses were shattered, which made the enemy angry.

Jia Ke asked himself, even if he encountered such an army, it would take a lot of effort to kill them thoroughly.

Coupled with the fact that the other troops are all dressed in paper armor, it is not a little stronger than these Tatars in the north.

Jia Ke learned about the situation of the Tatars in the north, and was also a little relieved, and then he asked Jizhigra, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner in the Eight Banners tribe.

"How many cavalry are coming from the Eight Banners this time?"

Ji Rigela immediately came out, knelt down on one knee and said to Jia Ke: "Master Qiqi, this time a total of 240,000 cavalry came to the Eight Banners, and all of them were wearing paper armor, the bows and arrows used were carefully built by Xuanfu Town, and all the matching knives were provided by Xuanfu Town. ”

Jia Ke nodded and felt that it was not bad, although these cavalry were not as good as Tiefutu, but the paper armor they wore was also good in defense, plus the paper armor was light, and it did not affect the speed of the horse, and it still had a huge advantage over the cavalry of the Upper Tatars.

Jia Ge is now relieved that this time he will definitely succeed in going north, driving the Tatars northward to gain more living space for himself and the Han people.

"From today onwards, the Eight Banners Rangers are roaming around, and they must be seen clearly about the movements of the Tatars, and they must not be allowed to pose a threat to the army."

After listening to Jia Ke's order, the eight Eight Banner Commanders immediately knelt down again to receive the order, "Obey the master's arrangement, and you will definitely not disappoint the master." ”

Jia Ke nodded and asked them to return to work, and then ordered: "The three major battalions and the Xiaocai battalion will immediately leave Gubeikou and set up camp in the north of Gubeikou, and the infantry will lead the soldiers of the Yamen and the forbidden army, and settle in the rear of the army." ”

The generals listened to Jia Ke's order and bowed down together and said "yes".
