Chapter 85: The Chieftain of the Enemy Inquiries Before the King
He didn't know how long he had been running away, but Heduluo finally stopped to rest. He looked at the horse snoring with dull eyes, and his heart was filled with darkness.
If I had known earlier, I would not have provoked Datang.
Thinking about this now, he felt that it was already too late, but the emotion of regret was still filling his mind. The Khitan was once a small overlord after the Turks were defeated. Not to mention powerful, but even the neighbors on the left and right did not dare to
Provoke him.
However, because of his momentary greed, he provoked the Tang Dynasty's violent revenge. Only then did Heduluo realize that the young Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was completely different from the previous Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
No, he is different from his father Li Yuan.
In Da Heduluo's expectation, as long as he was submissive, had a better attitude on the surface, and gave the Tang Dynasty enough face, the Emperor of Tang would not do anything to him.
But this time, he miscalculated.
Why doesn't he play his cards according to the rules?
No matter how much he regrets, he can't change the reality of the Khitan's defeat. He has only one idea now, to save the Khitan!
Soon, a Khitan scout arrived.
"Clan leader, Dahe Mohui and Dahe Ku brother were captured alive by Tang Qi. Tang Qi is approaching our army station. Please ask the clan leader to make a decision as soon as possible."
After hearing the news, Dahe Duoluo turned pale.
"How could it be defeated so quickly?"
The Khitan scout didn't know how to answer this question, and he hesitated and didn't know how to comfort Da Heduluo.
As time passed, Daheduluo came out of his defeat and decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
If you don't surrender now, you won't have the chance to surrender in the future.
If we surrender, we might be able to keep the Khitan.
But it is a pity that Da He Du Luo decided to surrender, and Wei Yunqi and Li Junxian would not allow them to surrender.
The emperor's intention was very clear, to kill the Khitan and annex the Khitan land and the Xi tribe's land.
Under such an order, Dahe Duoluo's surrender was tantamount to admitting defeat. Finally, Wei Yunqi captured Dahe Duoluo and sent him, Dahe Mohui and Dahe Kuge to Chang'an.
In May, a carriage imprisoning a group of Khitan nobles slowly entered Guanzhong. Sitting in the prison carriage, the disheveled Dahe Duoluo slowly opened his eyes.
What did he see?
The endless, smooth and hard official road made Da Heduluo fall into a deep shock.
He has never seen such a smooth road!
Tang people, what happened in these years and why is this happening?
He also came to Chang'an during the Sui Dynasty, but the official system at that time was nothing surprising to him.
There are also muddy paths on the Khitan side.
But the current situation was far beyond his expectation.
He couldn't help but look down at the road. The hard road didn't even leave any traces when the carriage drove by.
Driving on this kind of road in heavy rain would probably be like walking on flat ground.
Was the Tang Dynasty actually so powerful?
With deep shock, Dahe Duoluo observed every scene and thing in Guanzhong.
Soon, he discovered that many skinny Turkic slaves, under the supervision of the Tang army, poured lumps of gray stuff on the roadside, and then spread it out to build the road.
He understood that that kind of thing should be the material for building such a strong official road.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a Turkic slave falling to the ground because of exhaustion. Then the Tang army soldiers whipped up their whips and beat the slave violently.
After the beating, he was ordered to drag him down and stab him to death.
Is this a Tang person?
Dahe Duoluo felt that he had not entered Guanzhong, he seemed to have entered hell. When did the people of the Tang Dynasty become so cruel? Don't they claim to be a country of gentlemen and a room of crowns and hats?
Why, they behave like Turks?
Seeing this, Daheduluo became more and more fearful.
He was scared.
An ordinary soldier of the Tang Army was so cruel, but what about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
At this time, Daheduluo realized that he had done something extremely stupid and even seeking death.
This Tang Dynasty was completely different from the previous Central Plains dynasties.
They are so fierce!
Two days later, Li Zhiyun held a court meeting in Tai Chi Hall.
All the Khitan nobles escorted them to the palace.
Li Junxian stepped forward, cupped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, the last general, Li Junxian, has captured the leader of the Khitan thieves, He Duluo, and is now returning to your Majesty."
Kneeling on the ground, Daheduluo, Dahemohui and others, with iron chains on their bodies and disheveled hair, looked like bereaved dogs.
On the left and right sides of the main hall, there were countless civil and military officials from the Tang Dynasty. They looked at the Khitan people with either disdain, ignorance, or amusement.
Dahe Duoluo was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide, thinking that he was also the leader of a grassland tribe, but now he was like a lamb, waiting for the Tang Emperor to kill him.
As for Dahemohui and Daheku Ge, they are completely numb. They don't have any thoughts now, and their minds are blank.
Da He Du Luo secretly glanced at the young man on the throne.
It was too far away for him to see clearly. Across a pool of water, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the imperial couch.
The only thing he could tell was that the Emperor of Tang was very young.
Because he could hear the Tang Emperor's voice when he spoke.
After Li Junxian finished speaking, Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your style is still as good as before."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. I am frightened." Li Junxian also smiled.
Seeing the old brothers in the Shence Mansion making meritorious deeds one after another, he was almost discouraged in Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not forget him. This time, he asked him to conquer the Khitan and gave him a share of the merit.
Li Zhiyun and Li Junxian reminisced about old times for a while, and then they said indifferently: "Who is Dahe Duoluo?"
Hearing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty calling him, Da He Du Luo quickly shouted, "The little king is the Khitan barbarian Da He Du Luo. I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."
He tried his best to convey his surrender attitude to the Emperor of Tang, hoping that in this way the Emperor of Tang would let him go.
But will Li Zhiyun let him go?
The answer is no.
Khitan must die!
Not only for the Khitan slaves, Khitan pastures, and even for his own 'martial arts'. More importantly, it was for the disaster that the Khitan would bring to the Central Plains three hundred years later.
Although it is said that the Khitan was able to invade the Central Plains later and had something to do with Shi Jingtang, if the Khitan itself did not have certain strength, he would not let Shi Jingtang recognize his father.
Therefore, in Li Zhiyun's heart, Khitan was destined to die.
However, Li Zhiyun decided to go through the process.
"Don't say it was unforeseen. I sent someone to remind you, Da He Du Luo, why didn't you take my warning to heart?"
Dahe Duoluo cried bitterly and said: "You deserve to die. I don't know the fate of the day. Please show mercy to His Majesty the Emperor. I swear here that Khitan will serve His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation. Please show mercy to His Majesty the Emperor."
!”
The corners of Li Zhiyun's mouth turned up slightly. Although he knew that this was Da He Du Luo acting, Li Zhiyun still felt very happy.
So cool!
What could be more satisfying than watching the leaders of one party kneel in front of you, crying and begging for mercy?
Not only Li Zhiyun was happy, but the civil and military officials in the palace were also extremely happy.
This is their Tang Dynasty!
Too awesome to explain!
If you don't move, you will be done, if you move, you will send troops to destroy the country!
The generals were even more excited. It was so glorious and honorable to hold an enemy chieftain to task before the king!
Many military generals looked at Li Junxian with envy. With this battle, Li Junxian's contribution to the history books will be added to that of "destroying the Khitan"!
But among the generals in the current dynasty, only a handful of them have this skill.
Li Junxian, as for Li Junxian, straightened his back under the attention of everyone, which was very honorable.
