After listening to Arslen Khan's words, Erdemutu was conceited of his wisdom and disdained Jia Ke, so he said arrogantly: "It's just a horseman, and he has some courage, why should the Great Khan be so jealous of him." In the coming day, I will trap it with a trick, and it will be up to the Great Khan to kill or capture it when the time comes. ”

When Arslen Khan heard this, he was not happy, and if he said that others were brave, Arslen Khan might still believe it. But Jia Ke's cunning, he deeply understood, otherwise he would not have been defeated again and again.

For this high priest, Arslen Khan could not be offended, after all, this man held the sacred spring on the steppe, so Arsleng Khan said to the high priest perfunctorily: "Since the high priest has a clever plan, it depends on the high priest to fight from Zhijak." ”

Erdemutu could see that Arslen Khan did not believe him, but he did not refute it for himself. He was originally in the left and right between Arslen Khan and the chiefs of the steppe tribes, but as a result, Arslen Khan broke the steppe alliance and took all the power of the steppe into his own hands, if it were not for his own sacrifice to the immortal heaven, the Tatar people's belief in the immortal heaven was unbreakable, Arslen Khan would have killed himself long ago. But even so, Arslen Khan's attitude towards himself is not as respectful as before.

This is also the time when the high priest actively followed Arsleng Khan to the Southern Dynasty, wanting to make some contributions, and then regain the trust of the Great Khan. It's just that he thinks that now is not the time, and he will wait until a few days to fight Jia Ke, and he is offering a plan, which will definitely impress Arslen Khan when the time comes.

After talking to the high priest, Arslen Khan ordered the camp to be fortified in case it was attacked by Jake at night. Arslen Khan was afraid of Jia Ke's sneak attack, and in the first few battles, Jia Ke would seize the opportunity to sneak attack his camp every time, and every time he could make him successful. This made Arslen Khan have to be careful.

Besides, after Jake defeated Battle, he found that the Tatars were very well defended and had lost the opportunity to attack, so he had to retreat his troops back.

Jia Ke led the cavalry to the gate of the Jingshi City and shouted to the above: "I am Jia Ke, the envoy of Xuanfu Town, who is ordered by King Qin, and now I am leading the soldiers to come, brothers in the city, quickly open the city gate and let us in." ”

As soon as Jia Ke finished shouting, the emperor at the head of the city heard it. Just now he was at the head of the city, watching Jia Ke lead the cavalry and fight with the Tatar cavalry, only to kill the enemy and flee. In just a few moments, five or six thousand of the opponent's men and horses were wiped out. I was already very satisfied with Jia Ke in my heart, and I was also deeply impressed by Jia Ke's bravery. When the time came, he heard Jia Ke shouting loudly, and hurriedly said to Wang Ziteng next to him: "You hurry up and open the city gate, let Jia Aiqing in, I want to meet this young heroic general." ”

Wang Ziteng was responsible for the defense of the capital since the Tatars arrived at the foot of the Jingshi. These few days can be regarded as exhausting, not without a trace of laxity. This is also because he is not optimistic about the soldiers under his command, you have to do it yourself, and you are really afraid of a little mistake.

As the envoy of the Jingying Festival, can Wang Ziteng not know what kind of people he has under him? If these people are bullying the common people, they are all good hands. They also said that there was a war, and these people had never seen it when they came out of the balcony. It's not even as good as the soldiers in the South! He also participated in several crackdowns on bandits and carried out several long-distance marches.

Now that Wang Ziteng saw Jia Ke coming, he was relieved. There is finally a team in the capital that can fight well, and even the Tatars don't need to rely on those old soldiers to attack the city now.

When the prince breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard the emperor's order, he did not dare to slack off and hurriedly went down the city wall, came to the city gate, and first gathered thousands of men and horses to line up at the city gate, in case the Tatars came to attack when the city gate was opened.

After everything was ready, he ordered the soldiers to hang the golden gate, and then opened the city gate and let the cavalry led by Jia Ke enter the capital.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the city gate, he saw that the gate was heavily guarded, thousands of people lined up in formation, and they unanimously responded to the sneak attack at any time. Being able to be vigilant at all times, depending on this attitude, even if he Jia Ke doesn't come, there won't be much danger in the capital.

When Jia Ke was thinking, a middle-aged Confucian general walked out of the army opposite, only to see that although he was a helmet and habitual armor, his face was like white jade, and he had five willows and long hair, and he looked like a Confucian student. When the general saw Jia Ke, he said, "Does your nephew recognize your uncle?" ”

Where does Jia Ke know who he is, but listening to his tone, it should be Wang Ziteng, thinking that Jia Ke had a low status when he was in the capital, how could he be qualified to meet Wang Ziteng. But in terms of feudal etiquette, Jia Ke's uncle is the prince Teng of the Jingying Festival.

Since Jia Ke knew that it was him, where did he dare to be lazy, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted to give the prince a salute. In this era when feudal etiquette and religion control everything, there are some things that must not be wrong.

"Nephew Jia Ke, I've seen my uncle here." Jia Ke knelt down on one knee and saluted the prince.

Wang Ziteng hurriedly took a few steps forward to support him, although Jia Ke is his nephew, but he is now in a high position, and the official rank is no longer below him, and he will need Jia Ke's support in the court in the future. Therefore, it cannot be treated as an ordinary junior.

Wang Ziteng picked up Jia Ke and said with emotion: "The virtuous nephew is really a young hero, and he has achieved a position that others can't do in a lifetime in just a few years." Many veterans are ashamed. ”

"I don't dare to be praised by my uncle, I just won a few battles by luck, and it was the emperor's Long Grace that gave me what I am today." Jia Ke arched his hand and saluted in the direction of Purple City.

When the two of them were talking about the old days, they saw a eunuch coming down from the city tower, and it was the great eunuch Dai Quan, who shouted in a sharp and thin voice as soon as he saw everyone: "Which one is Jia Ke?" The emperor wants to see you, hurry up with our house. ”

Jia Ke stepped forward and replied, "This father-in-law is Jia Ke below." ”

Dai Quan went up and down a large number of Jia Ke, only to see that this Jia Ke's appearance is only middle and upper, but there is a heroic spirit in his body, and as soon as he approached Jia Ke, he rushed to him and exuded a unique majesty, even the members of the six departments in the court did not have such a majesty, and he was able to be a very popular minister at a young age, and he was a marquis and a general, and he was really capable.

He could also see clearly in the city tower just now, this Jia Ke came and went freely in the enemy army, and he had not yet appeared among the generals of this dynasty. And this person is very much looked at by the emperor, and he can't offend him.

So Dai Quan said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that this is the famous Shenwei general on the grassland, and when we meet for the first time, our family is polite here." After speaking, he bowed to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke hurried back and said: "I don't know my father-in-law's surname, how can these small reputations compare to your hard work in serving the emperor?" ”

Jia Ke is not like the people of this era who have contempt for eunuchs, in fact, there is still a little awe of these eunuchs in Jia Ke's heart, these people are by the emperor's side all the year round, and they seem to be just servants who serve the emperor. In fact, it is closer to the emperor than those ministers, and sometimes even an unintentional sentence or two can determine the life and death of an important minister of the court. Therefore, Jia Ke is very respectful of these eunuchs every time.

But everyone likes to listen to flattery, and Dai Quan is no exception. I was very happy to hear Jia Ke's words, Jia Ke's identity is not ordinary, he is a dignified Wuyang Marquis, this kind of person is so respectful to him, do you think he can be unhappy? Compared with the ministers in the court who don't put them eunuchs in their eyes, Dai Quan now feels pleasing to the eye when he looks at hyperthyroidism.

Dai Quan happily said to Jia Ke: "The emperor saw your performance on the city tower, and the emperor now ordered me to come and recruit you to meet you on the city tower." You don't have to be afraid when you see the emperor for a while, as long as you salute the emperor according to common sense. ”

When Jia Ke heard his words, he said gratefully: "I only have some small merits, thanks to the emperor's grace, I am only a small setback to the Tatars just now." It was really fortunate to be summoned by the emperor. ”

Then Jia Ke was grateful to Dai Quan and said: "It's rare for my father-in-law to give me a few words, and I can rest assured if I go up again." ”

Dai Quan said a few more polite words to Jia Ke, and took Jia Ke to the city tower.

I saw that on the city tower, the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up in two rows, and there was an old man of fifty or sixty years old sitting on a big chair in the middle, this person was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and the majesty of his body made people awe-inspired, this majesty was cultivated by the world for decades.

Jia Ke knew that the person in the middle must be the emperor, and according to the instructions of the creditor just now, he hurriedly walked two steps forward, knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

The emperor looked at the young general kneeling on the ground and asked, "You are Jia Ke, the envoy of Xuanfu Town?" ”

"Chen, it's Jia Ke."

"You came from Xuanfu Town, how many soldiers and horses did you bring?" This is the main concern of the emperor.

Jia Ke knelt down and bowed his head, and carefully answered the emperor's question, "The minister came this time with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000 cavalry were personally commanded by the minister to march day and night. My remaining 30,000 foot soldiers are still behind, and they will arrive in a few days. ”

The emperor listened to his words and calculated in his heart that with these 50,000 elite soldiers, plus the three major battalions in the city, there should be no danger in the Jingshi. Then the next step is to gather the troops and defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop, so that they will not dare to look south for a few years.

The emperor thought for a while, as if he suddenly woke up, and said to Jia Ke: "Aiqing, please get up quickly after working hard all the way." ”

Jia Ke got the emperor's order, so he dared to get up. In fact, Jia Ke was also very angry when he was a modern person, kneeling and kowtowing to an old man he had just met. No matter how noble this old man was, he was very unhappy in his heart, and kneeling down for him was just forced by the situation.

When the emperor saw Jia Ke getting up, he asked him again: "Jia Qing, how do you think you should defeat the Tatars?" ”

Jia Ke hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt down again and replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to defeat the Tatars, it is not difficult, as long as you wait for the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to arrive, with the soldiers of my Xuanfu Town as the core, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to support you." It only takes a single battle to defeat the Tatars. ”

Jia Ke's words shocked the emperor, the emperor didn't expect Jia Ke to be young, although his martial arts are good, but he is so good at bragging.
