By the time the training of the pro-soldier team was completed, it was already mid-May. At this time, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Jia Ke also changed the training to once every other day to prevent the soldiers from suffering from heat stroke. And Jia Ke is also helpless to change the training plan now, if he gets sick in this era, it is fatal, and Jia Ke does not want to have unnecessary casualties. Jia Ke's troops have always been trained once a day, unlike other armies in Xuanfu Town, which are all trained every ten days or five days, and the reason for this is that in addition to the ancient military training, there is also an important reason, that is, once trained, money and food must be consumed, and other generals can save one point is one point, where is willing to consume so much money and food for the imperial court.

During this time, Tang Kuai kept going back and forth between the Tatars and Kaiping Town, and obtained some important information, the most important situation was that the Tatars almost had internal strife.

The Tatar Great Khan Arslen Khan, after his last return, blamed the failure on the disunity of the ministries and their refusal to obey his orders. Therefore, on this ground, he began to rectify the tribes and began to weaken the power of the tribal leaders. Send emissaries to the tribes to supervise and even seize the power of the tribal leaders. They were even asked to release Tatar slaves and make them ordinary tribal people.

This caused a great shock in the steppe, and the interests of the tribal leaders were greatly impacted, knowing that the Tatars were still slavery, and this order simply demanded the life of a tribal leader. If the tribal leaders on the steppe were able to tolerate sending envoys to fight for their power, then it was completely impossible to compromise on the emancipation of the slaves, and the tribal leaders on the steppe were full of complaints.

In view of the precarious situation, Arslen Khan had to recall the heavy troops he had deployed in the Western Regions to use them to intimidate other tribes in the steppe.

And the tribal leaders of the steppe did not sit still, they conjoined each other to kill the envoys sent to the tribe by Arslen Khan, and dozens of tribal leaders even formed an alliance to fight against Arslen Khan, more than 200,000 cavalry on both sides, and there were several confrontations.

In the face of division and even confrontation in this steppe, the high priest of the steppe, the famous wise man Erdemutu, personally came forward to convene the tribes and Arslen Khan to hold a large-scale meeting of Naadam.

At this meeting, Arslen Khan was forced to abandon his idea of controlling the other tribes of the steppe, and the other tribes also gave up on organizing an alliance against Arslen Khan, and each side took a step back and returned to the state it was in before Arslen Khan issued his order.

The meeting ostensibly restored calm to the grasslands. But everyone knows that under this superficial calm, there is a dark tide surging, and many careerists have begun to move.

If Arslen Khan does not take any more measures, the steppe will surely be divided, and someone will definitely stand up to challenge his position as lion king.

And what bothered him even more was the Western Regions, which began to make trouble again after he withdrew his troops. In this case, he has the feeling of being flanked from front to back.

In desperation, Arslen Khan had to shrink his forces in the Western Regions, a move that allowed many small states that had been destroyed to be restored.

In order to resist the Tatars, these small states formed a coalition of thirteen countries. It was promised that as long as one country was attacked by the Tatars, the other countries would be obliged to send troops to their aid, and in addition to these thirteen relatively large countries, twenty or thirty smaller countries were members of this alliance.

The reason why these countries were able to establish an alliance so quickly was because there was a big country hidden behind it, and this country was also repeatedly harassed by the Tatars, so this time they fully supported the Alliance of Thirteen Nations and provided them with a large number of weapons and horses.

The Black Eater wants to turn the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions into a buffer between them and the Tatars.

Arslen Khan was very angry when he knew about this situation, but he was now worried about internal and external troubles, and he was temporarily unable to manage the affairs of the Western Regions, but he deeply remembered this shame. When he returns to the Western Regions again, there will be rivers of blood. And the black food must also pay its due price.

Besides, Jia Ke spent a few months of peaceful life in Kaiping Town, during which there was no war, only the house fight of three women. There were no Tatars either, only Tang Kuai traveled back and forth between the Tatars and Kaiping Town, which brought him great benefits, and in just half a year he had 50,000 taels of silver in his account.

And Jia Ke didn't let the money lie in the silver vault. Instead, he bought more than 8,000 acres of land in the south of Kaiping Town, and there is nothing more valuable than land in this era, in addition to his own purchase, there are some other people who gave him land in order to tie him down, so that he has 10,000 acres of land south of Kaiping Town, which is one of the largest landlords in the vicinity.

Now the housekeeper of the garrison mansion of Kaiping Town is Qian Mao who came from the capital, and this Qian Mao is still very talented in collecting money, since he came, he has brought a lot of income to Jia Ke by putting Jia Ke's grange and shop management.

The days passed unconsciously in Jia Ke's happy money-making. Soon it was the season of autumn and horse fat.

Just entering the autumn, Jia Ke received a decree from the imperial court. Ordered the border barriers to be on guard and prepared for the Tatar attack.

And Jia Ke also received information from Tang Kuai, because the Tatars in the south last year had a rich harvest and gained a lot of wealth and population. And in the process, there was not much resistance, so this year Arslen Khan decided to go south again. As in last year, dozens of defenses were generated to attack the imperial court in an all-out way.

As soon as Jia Ke got the news, he ordered everyone to be on guard. A large number of scout horses were sent to spy in all directions in order to detect the Tatars as soon as possible.

As time passed, information kept coming from Xuanfu Town, and all the barriers in Xuanfu Town were attacked by the Tatars. Although they had already prepared this time, the border army had no choice but to eat empty salaries and drink the blood of the soldiers, which caused the morale of the soldiers to be low. All the fortresses were easily breached, the Tatars rushed into the hinterland of Xuanfu Town, burning, killing and looting everything, Wang Tao had no choice but to concentrate all his forces to defend Xuanfu Town, in case Xuanfu Town was conquered.

When there were big wars in various places, Kaiping Town was a peaceful scene, and no one dared to touch Jia Ke, the devil.

And Jia Ke did not relax his vigilance because of this situation, strengthened the vigilance of Kaiping Town, and strictly checked all kinds of people entering and leaving Kaiping Town. If there is any suspicion, they will be arrested first and interrogated slowly. But nearly a month later, no Tatars were seen near the town of Kaiping.

Jia Ke was quite satisfied with this situation, believing that the Tatars would not dare to come this year because of their prestige.

Just when Jia Ke was complacent, reality gave him a hard slap.

On this day, Jia Ke was drinking tea and eating snacks in his room, holding an idle book and wandering there. Suddenly, Liu Yu was outside the study and shouted: "Uncle has an emergency military situation, and Tanma is waiting outside." ”

Jia Ke is very strict with military intelligence, and has long set up rules for his personal soldiers, stipulating that no matter what time it is, if there is an emergency military situation, he must report to him immediately, even if he is in bed, he must be called up.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Yu got the news this time, regardless of the difference between inside and outside, he immediately broke into the inner house to report to him.

Jia Ke knew that if it was an ordinary situation, Liu Yu would not be so anxious, thinking that it must be a Tatar attack, so he did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered Liu Yu to take the Tanma into the study to report to him.

As soon as Liu Yu entered Jia Ke's study with the Tanma, the Tanma immediately knelt down on one knee for Jia Ke and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi Garrison, thirty miles northwest of Kaiping Town, about 5,000 Tatar cavalry were found, and it is unknown whether there are follow-up troops for the time being. ”

As soon as Jia Ke heard this, he stood up in a moment, and immediately said to the horse, "Go and probe again, and make the area a little larger, and see if there are any other Tatars around this army." ”

Tanma agreed, and immediately went out to execute.
