Gu Tihan, who was tied up with iron chains, knelt down and lowered his head deeply.
In front of him, sat an old man from the Sirius tribe who was tall but had an old face.
This old man is the current king of the Sirius clan.
Monzar, the Sirius King.
It has been more than one hundred and twenty years since Monzar became the Sirius King.
He has reigned for a very long time among the previous kings of the Sirius clan, enough to rank in the top three.
Although Monzar has not made any major achievements during his years in office, he has not made any mistakes either.
He is a relatively mediocre king.
Of course, having been in power for such a long time, his prestige among the Sirius clan is unparalleled.
Monzar stared at Gu Tihan angrily, with deep disappointment in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that Gu Tihan would return to his clan in this way.
The 300,000 Sirius Clan army was finished like this.
Only fifty thousand people came back alive.
There are also many people who have already contracted the plague, and they have almost infected the entire Sirius clan.
Fortunately, Gu Tihan returned to the tribe first and had already warned the tribe to take precautions.
That's why the plague was not allowed to spread in the Sirius Clan.
Even so, the Sirius clan was still frightened.
The defeat of this battle also made Gu Tiehan receive a lot of criticism.
Now he is tied here to be tried by Monzar.
In addition to Monzar, other leaders of the Sirius clan also gathered here.
The Sirius Clan also has many tribes, and each tribe has a leader.
Sirius tribe!
The Sirius King is the king of the entire Sirius clan, and the leaders of all tribes must obey the king's orders.
"King, it is indeed my fault that led to the failure of this battle. I am willing to accept any punishment."
Gu Tihan had no choice but to plead guilty.
"Hmph! Punishment has caused such great losses to our Sirius clan. How can punishment be the solution?"
"That's right! We had high hopes for you in vain, we didn't expect you to be so disappointing!"
"How can you afford the lives of hundreds of thousands of good men from the Sirius clan?"
...
Several tribal leaders scolded him.
The reason why they were so angry was because the 300,000-strong Tianlang Clan army was drawn from each of their tribes.
Their tribe suffered losses due to the failure of this battle.
Gu Tihan did not argue.
He kept his head lowered and never said a word for himself.
It seemed that he had completely resigned himself to his fate.
Monzar waved his hand to signal the leaders of the ministries to quiet down.
"Gu Tihan, please explain to all the leaders about the plague."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Tihan already understood what Monzar meant.
This is to excuse yourself.
The ancient stickers are rarely moved.
He knew that Monzar admired him very much.
But he never expected that even though he had made such a big mistake, Monzar was still willing to give him a chance.
"King, leaders."
Gu Tihan also did not want to disappoint Monzar.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty brought the corpses of our clan members who died in the battle to the capital for public viewing, deliberately provoking them."
"We couldn't bear the corpses of our fellow clan being so insulted, so we moved the corpses back to Luoxia Pass at night."
"But I didn't expect that the corpse had already been infected by the plague caused by people from the Tang Dynasty, which caused the plague to spread to our army, and that's why it evolved to this point."
Gu Tihan told the story.
This was something he only realized after the fact.
Why did the plague appear inexplicably in my army?
In the end, he concluded that there was something wrong with the corpses of his compatriots that were brought back that night.
Monzar frowned.
Several tribal leaders also fell silent.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Gu Tihan did.
It can even be said that it should be praised.
After all, he just wanted to bring back the bodies of the clan members who died in the battle. This has been a long-standing tradition of the Sirius clan.
But no one expected that the cunning Tang people would actually put a plague on the corpse.
Such viciousness is simply heartbreaking.
"Gu Tiehan, why do some tribesmen accuse you of harming your fellow tribesmen?
One of the leaders asked.
Gu Tiehan heard the words and showed a helpless smile.
"I did not harm my own people."
The leader's eyes widened.
"It's not just one person who said this, but many people who fled back said this. How do you explain it?"
Gu Tihan suddenly looked at the leader, his eyes filled with rage.
"explain?"
"Why should I explain?"
The leader looked astonished, as if he didn't expect that Gu Tihan would suddenly behave like this.
"Don't all the leaders know what the consequences will be once the military plague is completely out of control?"
Gu Tiehan's face was full of ferociousness.
"In order to curb the plague, I gathered all the tribesmen who were infected with the plague to take care of them, in order to minimize the harm of the plague as much as possible!"
"But people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"Those tribesmen who were infected by the plague were unwilling to just wait to die. They felt that I had abandoned them, so they rioted in the army, which caused the army's morale to become chaotic and completely out of control!"
"I dare to ask you leaders, is what I did wrong? What would you do if it were you?"
There was silence in the big tent.
All the leaders were speechless.
Monzar, the Sirius King, also had a complicated expression.
It can be said that there is no problem with Gu Tihan's approach.
The plague must be controlled!
This is the most terrifying thing about the military.
Although Gu Tihan's approach is a bit cruel, it is the most direct and effective.
If the people infected with the plague are not controlled, the consequence will be that no one in the entire army will survive.
That's the scariest thing.
But those tribesmen who suffered from the plague could not understand this at all.
The instinct of survival, coupled with the panic of the plague, led them to riot.
So much so that the entire Sirius clan army collapsed completely.
"You have also heard that the crime does not lie with Gu Tihan."
Monzar sighed and spoke.
"He's tried his best."
"Moreover, before being defeated, he broke through Luoxia Pass, killed Tang's general Qin Xiong, defeated Tang's 500,000-strong army, and almost captured Zijin Pass."
"In this battle, we, the Sirius Clan, lost because we were not as despicable as the people from the Tang Kingdom!"
Several leaders nodded in deep agreement.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are cunning and shameless, and they are really hateful!"
"For such a vicious method, we, the Sirius Clan, must take revenge!"
"Only by killing all these people from the Tang Kingdom can we comfort the members of our Tianlang clan who died in the battle!"
...
The leaders also spoke out one after another.
They no longer blame Gutihan.
Instead, he transferred his anger to Datang.
"Gu Tiehan, although the blame does not lie with you, after all, you have lost so many people, so you still have to be triggered."
Monzar said.
Gu Tiehan nodded: "I am willing to be punished!"
"Well, go and get three hundred whips, and then let the horses go."
"yes!"
Gu Tihan went down.
Monzar looked at the leaders.
"I have received news that the person leading the troops this time is the new crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanxiu."
"If this person can be killed, it will definitely be a major blow to the Tang Dynasty."
"So, I decided to send the strong men of the clan to kill Li Yuanxiu directly!"
