Chapter 590: Back to Beijing
Jia Ke led his men and horses to raid around the Tatar camp, but he did not find where Arslen Khan's Chinese army tent was?
In the end, Jia Ke had no choice but to send someone to arrest a few Tatars nearby and extract a confession.
Jia Ke led the men and horses directly to the big tent of the Chinese army, only to see that there was already a mess here, and the personal soldiers under Jia Ke's command killed and dispersed these people to break into the big tent, but found that it was already empty.
When Jia Ke got the report, he knew that he had let this Arslen Khan run away again.
Jia Ke is now very troubled by this Great Khan, to say that he does not have much ability to fight, to say that he can be regarded as knowledgeable to escape.
Jia Ke is helpless now, so he can only lead his men and horses to raid around the camp, killing people and setting fires.
Jia Ke's purpose has now changed from capturing Arslen Khan to killing and injuring the Tatars as much as possible.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Tatar camp now, the 100,000 cavalry under Jia Ke's command galloped back and forth in the Tatar camp, how many in and how out?
This battle was only fought from the third watch to dawn, and when it was dawn, Jia Ke gathered his troops. Look at the Tatar camp that has been destroyed, and the ground is littered with corpses.
Jia Ke ordered a search to begin to see if any enemy generals were found.
Soon the soldiers under his command came to report that although some of the leaders of the enemy army had been killed, the main one, Meng He, was not among them.
Jake was silent for a long time, and then looked north, this time the Tatars, although he was defeated and had some injuries, they would be able to recover within a few years.
Jia Ke now thinks about it, it seems that after dealing with these things of the dynasty this year, he will have to go on a northern expedition next year, and he must not let the Tatars recover, and he will defeat them in one fell swoop while they are still weak, and even drive them out of the desert.
However, thinking of the Northern Expedition, Jia Ke has another difficult thing, if going north to the grassland is not like fighting near the Central Plains, it is so cheap.
When the time comes, you have to prepare countless grains and grasses, and you have to levy strong men to transport grain and grass to the north.
These things cost a huge amount of silver, as well as countless grains and grass, although the current imperial court can complete this task, but it will also hollow out the imperial court's treasury, it seems that we have to find a way to make up for it from other places, and we must not let the Central Plains hurt its vitality.
Jia Ke began to order the battlefield to be cleaned, and then collected countless money and grain, as well as cattle, sheep and horses.
When Jia Ke was in the middle of the day, he led his men and horses to his camp.
When Jia Ke returned to the camp with his men and horses, he was greeted with countless cheers.
Besides, Arslen Khan fled in disarray in the middle of the night, and fled north for fifty or sixty miles before stopping.
When it was dawn, he sent his own soldiers and began to look around for the soldiers who had been scattered after him.
As a result, it didn't take long for these soldiers to bring the leaders of the tribes and the generals under their command one after another.
Seeing that most of these people were still there, Arslen Khan was relieved, and then he sent an order for each of these people to send their cronies to the steppe to collect the remnants of the defeated army.
When it was evening that day, he went to the grassland to gather the generals' men and horses, and then came back.
Arslen Khan roughly liquidated the victims, and there were only about 200,000 people who came back.
As soon as Arslen Khan heard this number, he couldn't help but burst into tears, this time he went south, with a total of more than 400,000 horses, but he didn't expect that when he went back, there were only more than 200,000.
At this time, Meng He hurriedly came to his side to persuade him, "Don't worry, most of the losses this time are mercenaries and slaves from the Western Regions, and the main force of our Tatars has not been lost, and now we will return to the grassland to recuperate for a few years, and we will be able to fight against Jia Ke." β
After hearing this, Arslen Khan put away his tears, patted Meng He's shoulder and said: "The general is resourceful, this time he went south thanks to the general's repeated use of his strategy, otherwise I am afraid that we would have died at the hands of Jia Ke." This time, I will go back and ask the general to give me advice. β
Arslen Khan also understood, and now they found that only Meng He could have some confrontation with Jia Ke, although the others were heroic, but when they met Jia Ke, a scheming hero, they were really not opponents.
After Arslen Khan pacified Meng He, seeing that there was no need to continue to keep this group of remnants of the defeated generals, he put on some new clothes and went north.
After Arslene Khan returned to the north, he really fulfilled his promise and directly distributed a tribe to Meng He, but this tribe was more than 3,000 miles away from the king's tent, although the tribe was not small, but it had already left the power center of the Tatars.
However, Meng He didn't see the danger in this kind of thing at all, but happily took his tribe to take office.
After Jia Ke attacked the camp of Arslen Khan, he set up camp in the camp of the Tatars, and then also counted the losses, and found that there were still more than 90,000 of the 100,000 horses, which can be said to be a slight loss.
Although Jia Ke settled down, he didn't dare to take anything lightly, his evaluation of Meng He had risen a few notches now, and he was afraid that any scruples would give him a night attack, so he continued to send scouts to inquire about the situation of the Tatars.
On the second day, news came back one after another, and Arslen Khan had already taken his men and horses and headed north, without any stops.
Jia Ke was relieved that this time he could be regarded as defeating the Tatars without damaging the morale of his troops.
In the next few days, Jia Ke let the troops rest and recuperate before returning to the camp outside Gubeikou with the men and horses, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered together.
Jia Ke returned to the camp without any delay, and immediately gathered the generals in the Chinese army.
After the generals under Jia Ke came to the Chinese army's tent again, they first saluted Jia Ke, and then stood on both sides.
Jia Ke sat in the middle, his eyes wide open, and he glanced down.
"You don't know if you heard the news, in the capital, the royal family, the princes and nobles, actually took advantage of my low-grade Tatars in the north to launch a coup d'Γ©tat."
As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, dozens of generals below were annoyed.
I am fighting bloodily with the Tatars in the front, but I am making small moves in the rear, how can I bear this?
Feng Mo, as the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, is naturally Jia Ke's hardcore confidant, and now that he heard that something like this happened in the capital, he immediately stood up and said to Jia Ke: "Lord, the emperor is unjust and unjust, what are we keeping him for?" It's better for us to lead the soldiers back to the capital and keep the lord on the throne and sit in the palace. β
As soon as Feng Mo finished saying this, he immediately received the support of all the generals in the tent.
"Feng Mo is right, immediately raise troops and settle accounts with these shameless people."
"What General Feng said is reasonable, please give an order immediately, I am willing to be the vanguard."
Jia Ke watched the people below stir up, but he didn't stop them, these people just said what was in his heart.
Jia Ke saw that the generals below were excited, and knew that the morale was available, so he immediately took out an arrow from the big case and ordered: "Return to the capital immediately, Feng Mo is the vanguard of the front, open the road in the mountains, and build bridges in the water." β
Feng Mo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came out of the class, took a few steps forward and took the order arrow, "Obey the order of the lord." β
Jia Ke then picked up another arrow, "Huang Baifeng, your old minister is serious and cautious in using troops, and now I order you to lead the people of your headquarters to break off." β
Huang Baifeng also received the order and stood aside without mentioning it.
Jia Ke then said to the other generals: "The others will follow me as the Chinese army, eat a full meal today, rest for the night, and set off immediately during the day tomorrow." β
After hearing this, the generals immediately received the order.
Then Jia Ke asked them to go down and prepare, and they should not delay early tomorrow morning.
After Jia Ke broke up, the entire battalion boiled, and most of these soldiers knew that the affairs of the capital were now filled with righteous indignation, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria were angry only because their master Jia Ke was betrayed.
And those ordinary Central Plains soldiers added another layer, they fought bloody battles in front, but there were people in the rear who kept making ghosts, fortunately this time they won a big victory, if it was a slight defeat, wouldn't it become a belly and back to suffer the enemy, and almost be wiped out by the whole army outside the Gubei Pass?
The next morning, just after dawn, there were immediately people shouting and neighing in Jia Ke's camp, and soon 400,000 soldiers were lined up.
Then, under Jia Ke's order, the various departments went in turn.
The army marched, and passed the Gubei Pass in less than a day, and then continued to walk south, Jia Ke did not have any cover for this march, so the various wealthy nobles got the news, knowing that Jia Ke had defeated the Tatars, and was about to return to Beijing with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
And the various princes and nobles in the capital, although they were surrounded in the capital, they had their own sources, and they even let them know the news of Jia Ke's return to the army, which made them even more panicked.
When Jia Ke was about to arrive in the capital after Miyun, Fan Kang brought all the envoys and general soldiers who surrounded the capital to the roadside to greet him.
Jia Ke came to the front and saw Fan Kang with dozens of people not riding horses, bowing down and waiting on the side of the road.
Jia Ke took a few steps forward from the fire dragon horse, came to Fan Kang and said, "Sir is not sitting in the camp, why bother to come here to greet him." β
Although Jia Ke spoke politely, he did not dismount, he has now begun to pay attention to his identity, and he is not like before, and he is not in the same relationship with the general under his command.
Fan Kang arched his hand on the side of the road and said: "The lord is victorious, how can I not welcome my subordinates when I wait?" β
After hearing this, Jia Ke's face was full of smiles, and then he said, "In this case, the gentleman's etiquette has been done, so get on the horse and return to the camp with me." β
At this time, Fan Kang and dozens of generals under his command dared to stand up, and each mounted his horse to follow Jia Ke, and actually left the camp of the capital.
By the time Jia Ke arrived near the camp, hundreds of thousands of horsemen shouted and neighed, which had already alarmed the people in the capital.
Niu Jizong got the news and came to the north wall of the capital, he went up to the city and looked down, and he was immediately frightened.
Seeing that countless people and horses in the north of the dust were approaching the capital, they saw a big banner with the word "Jia" on it in the distance.
