Chapter 44: Seizing the Commander (End)
At the top of a hill in the deepest part of the inner camp, the King's tent of the Gloru people stood. Khan Chengzong stared with red eyes, and under the servitude of Burke Hu Gu and Little Arrow Qibiluo, he was busy pressing his helmet and armor. Seventeen and eighteen elders, inner ministers and special agents rushed over and over the center of the tent.
The Tang army came too fast, faster than all of them expected. When they saw the foreign minister being lazy to warn him yesterday afternoon, according to his estimate, the Tang army should be still 140 miles away. No one expected that after only one night, the Tang army flew over a hundred miles and rushed to the foot of the Jinshan Mountain in one fell swoop.
"It's not the main force, it's definitely not the main force!" Among all the people, the foreign minister looked so lazy that he was in a mess. He slumped on the ground and repeated like a fool, "When I left, they were at least two hundred miles away from here. I didn't dare to delay any time on the road! If the Tang army came as the main force, they had to carry food and supplies! It's impossible, they couldn't walk so fast!"
The truth is right. Why did he say this? The elders and nobles present also understood. However, no one was willing to take his words, and he refused to confront his eyes.
The Tang army had already reached the gate of the inner camp, but most of the warriors in the inner camp had just been awakened from their sleep. They had no time to move their muscles and bones, put on their armor, and gathered together according to the orders to fight.
What everyone needs to consider now is how to stop the Tang army from rushing to the hill where the king's tent is located, rather than to care whether the Tang army was the main force or the surprise soldier who was killed! There is no time to care about it. I am too lazy to lead the way for the Tang army!
"It's not the main force, so the number cannot be too large. Dashanks, he pushed the guard's left wing up and wrapped the Tang army at the door of the inner camp. Then he summoned the right wing and guard's wing to set up defenses along the hillside." He kept muttering many times, but he didn't get any advice. The foreign minister was lazy and climbed a few steps to Chengzong's feet, raising his hands high to advise.
"Yes" Chengzong, who was in a state of no master of the six gods, gritted his teeth and pondered.
There are ten big arrows in each case, and each big arrow has one hundred samurai. Each samurai is one of the top ten elites. The three-box samurai is where he maintains the position of Khan and settles his life. If these three thousand confidants spare their lives and resist step by step, they will definitely be able to buy him about half a day.
In half a day, some tribes that were already close enough went to support them. If the Tang army came day and night, their physical strength would soon be exhausted. At that time, the Geluo tribe may not be able to turn the tide under his leadership!
"Boom!" A thunderbolt shattered Chengzong's dream.
The ground under his feet was undulating like water waves, and the wine utensils on the case fell to the ground and smashed. The tent was shaking, the roof was shaking, and everyone around him was shaking. Several older elders were unable to stand firmly and directly shook them into rolling gourds.
"Khan, the camp gate is broken, the camp gate was blown up by the Tang army with thunder technique." A personal soldier rushed into the tent with his pale face and reported loudly in a hoarse voice. Immediately afterwards, another one was there.
"Da Khan, Xianyu didn't have any special service!"
"Khan, the Tang army entered the camp, and the battle between Batu Boke was gone."
"Da Shan, left wing, left wing collapsed. Ni Du, Bu Gu, Zhang Chi's big arrow died in battle!"
...
The bad news came one after another, making people unable to feel sad or distinguish the authenticity. Immediately after another, more "thunder" sounded in the inner camp, shocking people's hearts and cold sweats quickly spread across their spine.
"Khan, I heard that after the Khan of Shi Kingdom Mo He surrendered, the Tang army did not humiliate him at all!" Chengzong's uncle, the inner minister and special agent, did not dare to hesitate anymore, took the lead in walking to Chengzong and reminded loudly. "Although my Geluo tribe deliberately let the Turks attack Saiye last year, it was because it was forced by facts and was not intentionally betrayed. If the Khan restrained his subordinates at this moment and personally went to Niu Shizhuo to apologize for guilt, I believe..."
"What did you say?" Geluo Khan, Yaoluo Ge-Chengzong's eyes immediately glared and pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand at the same time. "You say it again? Let me take the thorns and apologize. When I first took the benefits of the Turks, Huzhi Special Service said that."
"At that time, the Tang army was extremely weak in the Western Regions and was no match for Soge at all!" Huzhi, the inner minister and special agent, held the hilt of the knife without fear, and looked straight into Chengzong's eyes. "But now, the Tang army has already hit the outside of the tent. I, the Gloru Warrior, continue to resist, and there will definitely be countless casualties, and in the end, you will not be able to avoid the end of being captured and humiliated by Khan."
"Khan, the inner minister is right. Our strength is not as strong as the Tang army. We were attacked by them again. If we continue to resist, no one will survive!"
"Khan, the Tang army did not kill Mo He or Yi Hu, and also asked Yi Hu to be the governor of Dayuan!"
"Khan, it's better to surrender than to destroy all the clans!"
...
The inner ministers Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Ajin Tubao and others also surrounded him, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and "hardly" persuaded him. They refused to wait for death with Chengzong and his hard-core confidants.
"The Tang Dynasty asked for one million taels of gold in the Shi Kingdom! My Gelu tribe can't bring out so much? Unless you hand over all the money!" Chengzong was not able to fight against the attack of the Tang army, and then started a war with so many nobles, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly.
"It only costs 20,000 taels per year. If we can save the foundation, we can attack the Xiagas people in the north and let them share the burden with the Simi people or the Shiwei people in the north." The inner minister and special agent Huzhi obviously had a long plan and immediately gave a solution.

"We gave the gifts from the Turks last year to the Tang army, which was the first year. Starting from the second year, we can take advantage of the decline of the Turks to conquer other troops and make up enough compensation. It will take less than fifty years to wait for the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and we can break the contract!"
"The Tang army was based on the Turks, and it was just a good time to beat us."
"The Turks will definitely be defeated in this battle, and after that, there will definitely be another turmoil on the grassland. Our Geluo tribe just seized the opportunity."
...
The inner minister Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Ajin Tubao and others also spoke one after another. The methods that each said were hundreds of times better than the current way to die with Chengzong.
"You" Chengzong was so angry that his eyes turned black. He gritted his teeth and turned his head, calculating his strength.
Anyone who was seen by him turned his face away, including some of the trusted people he usually valued. Some of them were usually dissatisfied with him, and they all called each other to his uncle, secret service and inner workings, and pressed their swords toward him.
"Khan, the Tang army is about to hit him, and he can no longer shed his own blood." Burke Hugu, who was in charge of the guard box, suddenly gritted his teeth, walked around him from behind, and bowed to urge him.
"Khan, even if we all died in the tent today, the Tang army could not stop revenge on the Geluo tribe!" Several Burke, who led the troops, also stepped forward and reminded loudly.
All of them have come to this point. If Geluo Khan and Yao Luoge Chengzong continued to fight the Tang army to the end, they would probably immediately attract everyone to attack him. After gritting their teeth, he suddenly sneered loudly, "It seems that Huzhi Special Forces had thought of this trick for a long time. No wonder I proposed to migrate to the tent last night, but you insisted on staying here!"
"Chengzong, you are Khan. No matter what benefits you get on weekdays, you will be dedicated to you. At this moment, you should be rewarded to your tribe." Yao Luoge Huzhi did not refute and reminded him coldly.
"I am Khan, I sacrificed for the entire clan. My son Guli Peiluo should have a special service position." As a hero of a generation, Yao Luoge Chengzong knew that he was unable to make a comeback, so he immediately started bargaining.
"I don't have a son, Guli Peiluo is my grandson." Special agent Luo Ge Huzhi responded without hesitation, "I can swear in public that if I am slow to treat Guli Peiluo in the future, I will live in heaven and cause me to live and die!"
"I still have fourteen Kedun and six daughters!" Yao Luoge Chengzong let go of the hilt and slowly sat on the sweat position covered with tiger skin. In an instant, it seemed that he was twenty years older.
"If you can survive, no matter where you go, we will send Ke Dun to you." Special service medicine Luo Ge Huzhi has long passed the age of collecting beauties. Without thinking, he continued to promise loudly, "As for your daughter, no one can marry them unless you are above Burke. If someone bullies them, I will make decisions for her together."
"Don't worry, Khan, we will not dare to forget your sacrifice today!" The inner minister Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Burke Hu Gu, Ajin Tubao and others bowed together, fearing that Chengzong would continue to bargain, dragging everyone to miss the opportunity to surrender.
"You go and ask the Tang army to surrender, I'll sit here and wait." Tuqi Shi Khan Chengzong, knowing that the situation was going, sighed and raised his hand to take off the iron crown on his head. Then, he took out the Khan's seal, fingertips, command arrows and other objects from the commander's case and pushed them to the special officer Hushou. "I'm sorry, Hushou Khan. Even if I admit defeat, I have to leave some kind of decent, so as not to be unable to return to the ancestral land after death."
"Just as the Khan of Chengzong wished!" The special medicine Luo Ge Huzhi only wanted to resolve the crisis in front of him as soon as possible, and had no time to care about the details of who came forward to surrender to the Tang army. He stepped forward, grabbed the iron crown and put it on his head, and then took all the Khan's seal, fingertips, arrows and other objects in his arms, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Before leaving, he had not forgotten to give a loud reminder, "Hu Gu, stay and serve Chengzong Khan to pack up his luggage."
"Abide by the order!" Burke Hugu, who was originally the head of Chengzong's guard wing, agreed loudly, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and standing next to the throne, like a glaring Vajra.
The inner ministers Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Ajin Tubao and others quickly followed Xin Khan Huzhi, and no one was interested in continuing to humiliate a Khan who had retreated. Some of the direct officials who originally belonged to Chengzong found that the overall situation was settled, so they sighed and lowered their heads, bowed one after another.
Geluo was originally attached to the Turks, and was influenced by the latter, and regarded wolves as the ancestor god. Among the wolves, when the new king ascended the throne, everything that originally belonged to Lao Wang would be automatically transferred to the new king. There was no female wolf or young wolf who would fight to the end for Lao Wang. The same was true for the rules of Geluo people!
The only "loyal minister" is that the foreign minister is too lazy. Because he is suspected of leading the way for the Tang army, even if the new Khan Huzhi is changed now, he may not be able to accept him. On the contrary, when the crisis is dealt with, in order to calm people's hearts, Huzhi must have to bear the anger of his clan members for a minister of sufficient weight. As a hardcore Chengzong, killing him with the Qiqi flag is the most appropriate!
"Da Sweat" eyes suddenly turned, and Du Lai whispered to test, "I'm going to find General Tang to surrender. I'm willing to share life and death with Da Sweat, no matter what decision Da Sweat makes."
"How lazy, what are you going to do?" Burke Hu Gu, who was stung by the new Khan, was furious and immediately pulled out the knife and pointed at the lazy nose of the foreign minister, threatening, "Chengzong has brought disaster to the entire clan, and should sacrifice himself to calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to deceive him again, I will...ah!"
Suddenly, he felt a sting of pain in his spine, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and turned his head in surprise. But he saw that his personal soldier Xiao Jian Qibiluo smiled grimly and pulled the knife out of his back.
Chengzong, who had already closed his eyes and waited for death, was now refreshed and shouted loudly at all the guards who were staying in the tent, "If you are unwilling to beg for mercy from the Tang army, go with me! Now! Let's go to Jinshan together."
"You, you..." Burke Hugu pointed at Chengzong, trying to scold the other party for rebelling against his word and harming the entire clan. However, he could not say a complete sentence and fell down with his eyes wide open.
As if he had guessed that he would say this, Chengzong pulled out his sword from his waist and continued to shout loudly at everyone in the tent, "Brothers, take up all your strength and follow me to Jinshan. Tang Jun only needs a Khan's head, and now the iron crown is on Huzhi's head."
"Yes!" Duolai jumped up, jumped up from the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and quickly followed Chengzong.
A small number of guards followed without hesitation, while the other half were slow-witted and could not keep up with the changes in the situation. Looking at Burkehugu's corpse, he was dumbfounded.
Seeing this, how lazy he protected Chengzong and continued to walk backwards, while shouting loudly, "Are you all fools? Which Khan will keep the old Khan's confidants by his side after he seized the throne? Let's go and protect the Khan and cross the Jinshan together. The Tang army is fire, and we are grass. After the wildfire, the wild grass will be reborn immediately."
"I am hiding enough gold on the other side of Kingsoft. But the leader of the few troupes is my son-in-law." Chengzong's words also rang out immediately and instantly reached the ears of each guard. "You should follow me, or follow me and you can choose it yourself. But, for the sake of my usual brothers, don't stop me!"
"Let's go, I'll go with Dahan!"
"I'm going with Dahan, I don't believe in hushi!"
"The Khan is kind to me..."
The guards looked at each other, agreed and followed. There were also three or two people who were not firm in their minds who did not move their steps, but they closed their mouths decisively, so as not to fail to report the news to the new Khan, but were chopped into meat paste by the old Khan Chengzong's confidants!
On the way to the back tent, many personal guards were caught off guard by the sudden change in the situation. Some people plucked up their courage to hold up their weapons to stop them, but were killed on the spot by the personal guards loyal to Chengzong. Some people escaped to report to Xin Khan Huzhi, but they were in chaos. In a short period of time, they could not find Huzhi.
The back tent was soon close. Chengzong did not look for his son and daughter regardless of his beauty. He rushed in, picked up a treasure chest, and ran out again.
Then, in front of all the confidants who followed, he smashed the treasure chest, then pointed to the gold ingots, gems, and jadeware all over the ground, and shouted loudly: "Each person has one item, and everyone will have a share. After taking it, get it up and follow me!"
"Swear to be loyal to the great Khan!" The confidants cheered in unison, either bent down to pick up the treasure and hid it in their arms, or looked down on the treasure. Then they surrounded Chengzong and fled to the rear of the camp. No matter who dared to stop it, they would all chop it to the ground with a knife.
"Surrender, willing to surrender, please give me kindness to the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Surrender, Khan Chengzong is willing to go to Chang'an in person to wait for the Emperor of Tang to deal with it!"
"Surrendered, Ge Luolu was a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty. All the mistakes were done by Chengzong alone. He apologized for his death and asked for forgiveness!"
"surrender……"
