Turbulent Times Chapter 1401: Let Turkic have two khans
There was a "poof".
It was the sound of the steel arrow piercing through the barrier and piercing into the flesh. Shibi Khan dropped the broken knife and covered his chest with the arrow shaft. He felt piercing pain, and at the same time felt his own soul trying to escape from the wound.
When he was in pain, he saw that the soldiers around him were cut down like mowers by the enemy, and they didn't retreat until there were more than five hundred left, but suddenly a person rushed out and continued to chase them down.
The man who killed Xiang Shibi Khan was a general of the Youzhou Army. He was covered in pitch-black armor, and his body was unusually burly. The knife was extremely ruthless, rushing into Shibi Khan's soldiers alone was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, one knife at a time, beheaded fourteen of Shibi Khan's soldiers at one go, and slashed hard in the crowd After opening a passage, it rushed towards Shibi Khan like a meteor.
"Escort!"
Shibi Khan yelled, without the protection of the Turkic warriors around him, all he could use was a horse rein.
The steel arrows piercing through the two layers of leather armor seemed to be alive, and they kept drilling into the flesh. Gritting his teeth desperately, Shibi pulled hard and pulled out the steel arrow from his chest. He felt dizzy for a while, and at the same time he was thankful that he was not dead. He held the arrow shaft in his hand to resist the long knife that was about to cut.
Heijia general let out a slight sneer, swung his knife, and saw that Shibi Khan was about to fall to the head.
"Luo Yi, don't kill him." Wang Junlin's voice sounded like the sound of heaven in Shibi Khan's ears, almost in time when he was on the verge of life and death. Luo Yi suddenly raised the knife in his hand, and a strand of hair on the top of Shibi Khan's head was chopped off. His head was intact, but he was frightened half to death, and his face was pale.
Luo Yi let out a long laugh, turned his horse's head and killed the dozen or so Turkic warriors who rushed up, and then left.
The remaining 500 Turkic warriors would not dare to chase and kill Luo Yi, and fled desperately to protect Shibi Khan who was almost scared to death.
Shibi Khan knew that he could return to the grassland alive, not because of the blessing of Changshengtian, but because Wang Junlin didn't want to kill him.
As for the reason why the other party didn't want to kill him, he already figured it out just now
Well, Wang Junlin expected that he would not be able to convince the public after he went back, and the next Turkic civil strife would inevitably follow, because the other party did not want the grassland to be strong, and wanted to see the Turkic people killing each other. And if he dies, someone from the Ashina family will inevitably be promoted as the new Turkic Khan, and it will be difficult for the Turks to become chaotic.
"What a vicious Wang Junlin!" Shibi Khan cursed bitterly, leaned on the saddle, wrapped up in the crowd and continued to walk, with lingering fear on his face, today's experience has been deeply rooted in his heart The seeds of fear were planted everywhere.
"My lord, why did you release the Turkic Khan!" On the top of the mountain, Wang Junlin did not know when there was a woman with a perfect figure and appearance, but her expression was always so cold that she was not human. It was Nie Xiaoyu. Luo Yi asked his subordinates to cooperate with the Whirlwind Camp to clear up the mess on the battlefield. He rode alone to the top of the mountain and knelt down directly in front of Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu.
Wang Junlin glanced at Luo Yi, and said lightly: "Let Shibi Khan go back, the Turks can have a civil war for at least three years, because the younger brother Ashina Tuosi who was sent by Shibi Khan to Duanhou is a smart man , actually rescued our Emperor from another group of Turks in Yanmen City, but His Majesty wanted to make the heir of Ashina the new Khan of the Turks.”
"Whether it's Ashina Dushi or Shibi Khan, as long as he sits in that position, he is the sweat of the Turkic people, so the prince let the Turkic people have two Khans, because they want their brothers kill each other."
Wang Junlin nodded and said sarcastically: "Whoever takes the position of the Turkic Khan, he needs to take care of the interests of the Turkic people first. This will not change with his personal likes and dislikes towards the Central Plains." , not to mention that he would not come to **** the Great Sui just because he was personally appointed by the Emperor of the Great Sui."
…
…
Just when Wang Junlin led people to plot 30,000 Turkic Golden Wolf Guards, Yang Guang in Yanmen City regained the majesty of the emperor, and the important officials around him were also busy.
What they are busy with is not how to treat the people in Yanmen County who were ravaged by the Turks, let alone organize soldiers and horses to pursue the victory and seek justice for the people in the frontier fortress. It's about how to commend Ashina's heirs in the name of the imperial court and bestow them with titles.
At the same time, because Ashina's heir Suibi Khan attacked Yanmen City a few days ago, which once frightened His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so the following ministers have to be appropriate for the sake of looking good for the Emperor. Criticize Ashina for his reckless behavior of besieging Shengjia, a thief without king or father, who turned out to be regardless of right and wrong.
Of course, after the criticism, the emperors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty expressed their appreciation to Ashina for his great contribution to saving His Majesty the Emperor at a critical moment.
Naturally, some words in the middle should not be said too seriously, so as not to hurt the heart of His Majesty Ashina. But you can't say it too lightly, otherwise Ashina will not realize the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.
So the ministers were arguing endlessly over a certain wording in the imperial decree, and during the dispute, they did not forget to look at Yang Guang's face and take the opportunity to express their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
"This time, Ashina's aggressive heir abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, all thanks to His Majesty's benevolence and virtue. Even if he turns into a barbarian outside, he will still feel the inside." Yu Shiji bowed his hands to Yang Guang with a solemn and sincere face, and concluded loudly, He hadn't changed his clothes these days, and there was a big stain on his official robe. It was the blood of a soldier who had died protecting him, and it had been blown a little old by the wind, so it was easily forgotten.
"Since Ashina met His Majesty, he has been very respectful to His Majesty and swore to be my Majesty's subject forever." Not to be left behind.
"Your Majesty's mighty power made the Turkic Ashina Dubi heirs sincerely submit to our Great Sui Dynasty." Several ministers bowed their hands to His Majesty the Emperor together in the county government office that was temporarily used as a meeting place. The sound of flattering made the window screens buzz.
Li Shimin, Wang Rengong and other generals who had just entered the city witnessed the whole process, and after being dumbfounded, they quickly lowered their heads.
They originally dissuaded His Majesty the Emperor from killing Ashina's heir and his men. After all, after they brought their troops back to Yanmen City, they far surpassed Ashina's 30,000 troops.
It's just that they are all smart people. Seeing the unbelievable attitude of His Majesty the Emperor and the important ministers around him, they cursed inwardly but lowered their heads wisely and closed their mouths.
