Five hundred and fortieth eight chapters drive wolf
Zhu Xie Jinhai no longer had the mind to ask about Gaochang's gains and losses. Gaochang was like a woman who had been ravaged to pieces by him. He had long been tired of staying in Gaochang. It was just that he had no place to go, so he settled in Gaochang with dissatisfaction.
Now when finally the noble lady Yizhou beckoned to him, of course he kicked the worthless Gao Chang away and threw himself into the noble lady's arms without any hesitation.
Winning the position of Shatuo Khan will also control the loyalty of the thirteen large and small tribes of the Chuyue tribe distributed throughout Beiting, as well as the other six major tribes. This is the dream he has been pursuing for many years.
At the same moment when the Tang army entered Gaochang City, Zhu Xiejinhai also led an army of five thousand into Yiwu City.
The first thing he did was to send troops to surround the Presbyterian Church. He did not want to take the opportunity to eradicate this group of sworn enemies, but to force them to recognize themselves as Shatuo Khan.
Zhu Xiejinhai himself led his army to the king's tent, and Zhu Xieliang came out anxiously to greet his uncle's arrival.
Zhu Xie Jinhai said coldly: "Shatuo was originally so powerful, but in your hands he became weaker and weaker day by day. Now he is reduced to the point of imminent destruction. How can you explain to your father?"
Zhu Xieliang was so reprimanded that he felt ashamed and said with tears: "I am inherently incapable and unable to take on this important responsibility. If my uncle is willing to turn the tide and save Shatuo, I am willing to give up the position of Khan to my uncle."
This is what Zhu Xie Jinman taught him. If Zhu Xie Jinhai had no ambition, then he would never want the position of Shatuo Khan. If he came with ambition, he would take it by force even if it was not given to him.
, it is better to let him take advantage of the situation and let him turn the tide. Shatuo can no longer fight among himself.
Of course Zhu Xieliang understood that with his uncle's strength, he no longer had the strength to keep his position as Khan. Shatuo had always followed the rule of the strong, so Zhu Xieliang could only accept the reality and save his own life.
Zhu Xie Jinhai nodded, "I don't want to snatch your position as Khan, but Shatuo is in danger, and you really can't control this situation with your ability. Only I will step in when the crisis comes, try to save the situation, and wait for Shatuo to become stronger again."
, I will return the position of Khan to you. After all, you are my nephew. According to the order, you should inherit my position as Khan, and then my son will inherit your position as Khan. Isn’t it right?
?”
"Uncle decides everything!"
"Okay! Give me the position of Khan now."
Zhu Xieliang immediately summoned the nobles and officials of Shatuo, and in full view of the public, handed over the Golden Wolf Head Order, which symbolized the position of the Khan, to Zhu Xie Jinhai.
Zhu Xie Jinhai originally had a high prestige in the Chuyue tribe. According to the smooth succession, he should inherit the position of Khan. However, he was blocked by the Presbyterian Council, so Zhu Xeliang returned the position of Khan to Zhu Xie Jinhai without any
People opposed it, but everyone strongly supported Zhu Xie Jinhai's ascendancy.
The trouble still lies with the Presbyterian Church.
Zhu Xiejinhai received news from the generals who led troops to surround the council hall of elders. The council hall was empty. Eighteen elders fled the council hall in the middle of the night yesterday.
This news made Zhu Xie Jinhai furious and worried at the same time. He immediately called Zhu Xie Jinman to discuss countermeasures.
Of course Zhu Xie Jinman knew what happened. It was he who sent people to inform the eighteen elders of the six ministers secretly, so that they could escape Yiwu City in time.
"Khan, you can't hesitate any longer. Immediately send people to various tribes to summon the young men. If I guessed correctly, the Tang army must have secretly reached an agreement with them to carve up the Chu Yue tribe. We can't just sit back and wait for death. After summoning the Chu Yue young men, we
There are at least 20,000 troops left, and we can still fight to the death with various ministries. It is not yet known who will win, but we still have a chance."
Zhu Xie Jinman hesitated and said: "Can we negotiate with them again and unite to fight against the Tang army?"
"Khan, Chief Garan of the Chumi Tribe is my wife's brother. I know him better than you. If we can get Chuyue Tribe's pasture and population by cooperating with the Tang Army, I believe he will definitely join the Tang Army. As for the other tribes,
Forgive me for being disrespectful, they may cooperate with Zhu Xieliang, but they will never cooperate with you, otherwise, all eighteen elders would not have escaped."
Zhu Xie Jinman's last words deeply hurt Zhu Xie Jinhai's self-esteem. He shouted loudly: "If they really dare to betray, then fight them to the death!"
He immediately sent people to various tribes in Chuyue to summon young people.
At the same time, the chiefs of the six tribes of Shatuo also received a letter written by Guo Song. The Tang army was willing to divide Chuyue tribe's property, pasture and population equally among the six tribes, and everyone would share the Beiting. After emergency negotiations, the six tribes reached an agreement and accepted the Tang army's recruitment.
, have gathered their forces one after another, preparing to completely wipe out the remaining forces of Zhu Xie Jinhai.
.........
The six ministries jointly issued an ultimatum to Zhu Xiejinhai, asking him to immediately return the position of Khan to Zhu Xieliang, otherwise there would be a war. Zhu Xiejinhai rejected the ultimatum of the six ministries without hesitation. At this time, there was news
It was rumored that Zhu Xieliang's family had been secretly executed by Zhu Xiejinhai.
The two sides no longer had any contact and began to prepare for battle.
Five days later, internal strife among the various tribes in Shatuo broke out on the grasslands north of Yiwu City. Zhu Xiejinhai led a newly assembled army of 20,000 troops and a coalition of 36,000 troops to start a fierce battle.
At the same time, Guo Song led 12,000 Tang troops into Yizhou and approached Yiwu City.
At this time, Yiwu City was no longer guarded by troops. Yehu Zhu Xiejinman Kaicheng surrendered to the Tang army. Hundreds of Chuyue nobles, including Zhu Xiejinhai's wife and children, all became prisoners of the Tang army.
Only then did Guo Song know that Shatuo Khan Zhu Xeliang had been poisoned by Zhu Xie Jinhai, his three sons were killed by Zhu Xie Jinhai, and his wife was occupied by Zhu Xie Jinhai.
Without leaving any further trouble, Guo Song ordered hundreds of Chuyue tribe nobles to be killed and their properties sealed and stored in treasury. At the same time, Guo Song released several Chuyue tribe elders and ordered them to rush to report the news to Zhu Xie Jinhai.
.
The war in the north was very fierce. After several days of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Chuyue's tribe had a slight advantage. Zhu Xiejinhai completely wiped out the 5,000 troops of the Chumi tribe and defeated the 4,000 cavalry of the pre-branch branch. However, Chuyue's tribe had a slight advantage.
Nearly half of the troops were killed or wounded. At this moment, the news that the Tang army had occupied Yiwu City reached the army, and the morale of the army was immediately shaken.
Zhu Xie Jinhai wanted to retreat and wanted to withdraw his troops back to Gaochang, but the six coalition forces seized the opportunity and launched an all-out attack on the Chuyue tribe. Zhu Xiejinhai was defeated, countless people were killed, and the soldiers of the Chuyue tribe abandoned their armor.
, each fleeing for his life,
Zhu Xie Jinhai was unable to gather the defeated troops, so he had to lead more than 2,000 remaining troops to flee towards Gaochang City.
As night fell, on the west bank of the Yiwu River, more than two thousand soldiers lit several bonfires, killed sheep for barbecue, and drank milk wine. Zhu Xie Jinhai felt depressed and drank bowl after bowl of milk wine.
Zhu Xie Moshan sat silently aside and said after a moment of silence: "Khan, I feel that it may not be wise to go to Gaochang."
"Why?" Zhu Xiejinhai asked, his mouth full of alcohol.
"Two reasons! First, we don't know whether the Tang army captured Gaochang City, and secondly, there are no Chuyue tribe members in Gaochang. We are like big trees without soil, and will die sooner or later."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I suggest going west and leading the Chuyue people to migrate westward."
"west?"
Zhu Xie Jinhai sneered, "Where can we go to the west?"
"Go to Huangcaopo and ask for protection from the Huihe people."
Zhu Xie Jinhai was silent for a moment and said, "What about my wife and children?"
"I can no longer care about them at this time. My wife can remarry and my son can have another child. Just save your own life first!"
As soon as Zhu Xie Moshan finished speaking, the Shatuo army at the campfire was in chaos. Zhu Xie Jinhai stood up in shock and saw soldiers running around, shouting, "The Tang army is coming to kill! The Tang army is coming to kill!"
Zhu Xiejinhai shouted, turned around and ran towards his horse. At this time, a dozen people on horseback came and shouted: "Khan, retreat quickly!"
Zhu Xie Jinhai got on his horse, turned the horse's head and ran away south.
However, Zhu Xie Moshan took off his armor and sneaked into the Yiwu River while others were unprepared...
Zhu Xie Jinhai led a dozen of his own soldiers and ran wildly. After running hundreds of steps, a Tang army came out in front and blocked their way. The leader of the general, carrying a fangtian painted halberd and a golden helmet and iron armor, was none other than the Tang army's commander Guo Song.
Guo Song said coldly: "Zhu Xie Jinhai, let's settle the old accounts from ten years ago!"
