At the top of a hill in the deepest part of the camp stood the royal tent of the Qarluqs. Khan Chengzong stared at the red eyes, and under the service of Burke's bones and the little arrow Qibiluo, he hurriedly put on his helmet and armor. Seventeen or eighteen elders, ministers, and agents who came in a hurry were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, going back and forth in the center of the king's tent.

The Tang army came too quickly, faster than all of them expected. Yesterday afternoon, when he saw the foreign minister's lazy warning, according to his estimates, the Tang army should still be 140 miles away. No one expected that after only one night, the Tang army would leap hundreds of miles and kill at the foot of Jinshan in one fell swoop.

"It's not the main force, it's definitely not the main force!" Among all of them, the appearance of the appearance of laziness is embarrassed. Lying on the ground, he kept repeating like a fool, "When I left, they were at least two hundred miles away. I was on my way and didn't dare to make any delays! If the Tang army is the main force, it must carry grain and grass! No way, they can't go so fast! ”

The reason is right, why he said this, the elders and nobles present also understand. However, no one would take his words, let alone meet his gaze.

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, and they had no time to move their muscles and bones, put on their armor, and assemble to meet the battle according to the order.

The top priority for everyone now is how to prevent the Tang army from rushing up to the hill where the king's tent is located, instead of caring whether the Tang army that has been killed is the main force or a surprise soldier! I don't have time to care, how lazy is there is a suspicion of leading the way for Tang Jun!

"It's not the main force, and the number can't be too many. The Great Khan, who pushed up the left compartment of the guards, entangled the Tang army at the gate of the inner camp. Then the right compartment and the guard compartment were summoned and the guards were deployed step by step along the hillside. After repeating it many times, but he didn't get any advice, the foreign minister was too lazy to climb a few steps to Chengzong's feet, and raised his hands to advise.

"Hmm-" Chengzong, who was in the state of the six gods without a master, gritted his teeth and groaned.

There are ten large arrows in each compartment, and each large arrow has a hundred samurai, and each samurai is one in ten elites. The three-chamber samurai is where he maintains the Khan position and lives in peace. If these 3,000 cronies risk 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 close enough to come to the aid with all their might. And if the Tang army arrives day and night, his physical strength will soon be exhausted. At that time, the Qarluq Ministry may not be able to turn the tide under his leadership!

"Boom!" A thunderclap shattered Seungjong's dream.

The ground under his feet was undulating like water waves, and the wine utensils on the case fell to the ground and shattered. The tent was shaking, the roof was shaking, everyone around was shaking. Several of the older elders were unsteady on their feet, and they were directly shaken into rolling gourds.

"Great Khan, the camp gate is broken, and the camp gate was blown up by the Tang army." A soldier with a pale face rushed into the king's tent and reported in a loud voice. Immediately after, another one.

"Great Khan, rarely in the special service war!"

"Great Khan, the Tang army entered the camp, and the bald Burke was defeated."

"Great Khan, left compartment, left compartment collapsed. Nidu, Bugu, and Zhangchi arrows were killed! ”

……

The bad news is one after another, and it is too late to grieve or distinguish the truth from the false. Immediately after, more "thunder" sounded in the inner camp, shaking people's hearts, and cold sweat quickly flowed down their backs.

"Great Khan, I heard that after the surrender of Mohe, the Khan of Shiguo, the Tang army did not humiliate him in any way!" Chengzong's uncle, the internal minister and special service stinger, didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took the lead in front of Chengzong, and reminded loudly. "Although my Qarlu tribe deliberately let the Turks attack Broken Leaf last year, it was because they were forced by the facts, not because they were intentionally betrayed. If the Great Khan restrains his subordinates at this moment and personally goes to the Niu Shi Award to plead guilty, I believe that ......"

"What did you say?" Qarlu Khan, Yao Luo Ge-Chengzong's two eyes immediately widened, and his right hand pressed the hilt of the knife at the same time, "You say it again?" Let me take the blame, when I first received the benefits of the Turks, the stinging agent did not say so. ”

"At that time, the Tang Army's strength in the Western Regions was extremely weak, and it was not Suo Ge's opponent at all!" The internal minister and special service stinger held the hilt of the sword without fear and looked directly into Chengzong's eyes, "And now, the Tang army has already hit outside the king's tent, I, the Qarlu warrior, continue to resist, I will definitely suffer countless casualties, and in the end, I can't avoid the end of the Khan, you being captured and humiliated." ”

"Great Khan, the Prime Minister is right, our strength is originally inferior to the Tang Army. was attacked by them again, and if you continue to resist, no one will survive! ”

"Great Khan, the Tang army didn't kill Mo He, nor did they kill Yihu, and they also made Yihu the governor of Dawan!"

"Great Khan, it's better to surrender than to wipe out the whole clan!"

……

The inner ministers Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Ai Jin Tubao and others also gathered around, holding the handle of the knife, and persuaded each other "bitterly". resolutely refused to accompany Chengzong and his hardcore cronies to wait for death.

"Datang asked for one million taels of gold from Shiguo! I can't get that much out of the Qarluq Ministry? Unless you wait to hand over all your money! "Chengzong didn't have the ability to resist the attack of the Tang army while fighting with so many nobles, gritted his teeth and reminded loudly.

"It's only 20,000 taels a year, and if we can keep the roots, we can go and attack the Huanggasi people in the north, and let them share the burden with the Simi people, or the Muwei people further north." The internal minister and special service sting obviously had a plan and immediately gave a solution.

"I gave the Turks last year to the Tang Army, which is the first year. Starting from the second year, we can take advantage of the decline of the Turks to levy other ministries and make up enough compensation. In less than fifty years, when the Tang Dynasty declines, we can break the contract! ”

"The Tang army is going in the Turkic spirit, and it's just convenient to fight us."

"The Turks will be defeated in this battle, and after that, there will definitely be another turmoil in the steppe. We, the Qarlu Ministry, just seized the opportunity. ”

……

The inner ministers Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Ai Jin Tubao and others also spoke one after another, and the methods that each person said were a hundred times stronger than the current battle with Chengzong.

"You-" Chengzong was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he gritted his teeth and turned his head, calculating the strength of his side.

Everyone he saw turned their faces away, including some of his cronies. And some ordinary people who were dissatisfied with him approached his uncle, the secret service and internal minister, and pressed their knives against him.

"Khan, the Tang army is already about to fight, and it can't shed the blood of its own people anymore." Burke, who was in charge of the guard compartment, suddenly gritted his teeth, walked around to him from behind, and bowed down to urge.

"Khan, even if we all die in the king's tent today, we can't make the Tang army stop taking revenge on the Qarlu tribe!" Several Burke, who led the troops, also stepped forward one after another and reminded loudly.

Having said that, if the Qarlu Khan, Yao Luoge-Chengzong continue to insist on fighting the Tang army to the end, I am afraid that he will immediately have to attract the crowd to attack him. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly sneered loudly, "It seems that the stinging agent has already thought of this trick, no wonder I proposed to move the king's tent last night, but you insisted on staying here!" ”

"Chengzong, you are the Khan. On weekdays, no matter what benefits you get, the first one will be dedicated to you. At this moment, you should repay your people. Yao Luo Ge did not refute it, and reminded coldly.

"I am the Khan, I sacrifice for the whole clan, and my son Guli Pero should have the position of a special agent." is worthy of a generation of heroes, Yao Luo Ge-Chengzong knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and immediately began to bargain.

"I don't have a son, Guli Peiluo is my grandson." The special medicine Luo Ge-Hu Stung responded without hesitation, "I can swear in public that if I treat Guli Peiluo slowly in the future, I will be immortalized and the heavens will send down diseases, so that I can't survive and die!" ”

"I have fourteen more Kedun and six daughters!" Yao Luo Ge Chengzong let go of the handle of the knife and slowly sat down on the sweat seat covered with tiger skin, and in an instant, it seemed that he was twenty years old.

"If you survive, we'll send you Khatun wherever you go." The special service medicine Luo Ge Hu Stung has long passed the age of liking to collect beautiful women, and he didn't even think about it, and continued to promise loudly, "As for your daughters, no one can marry them unless they are above Burke." If someone bullies them, I'll make the decision for her together. ”

"Don't worry, Great Khan, we will not dare to forget your sacrifice today!" Neixiang Ji Shi, Burke Bayan, Burke Hu Gu, Ai Jin Tubao and others bowed down in unison, lest Chengzong continue to bargain and drag everyone to miss the opportunity to surrender.

"You go and ask Tang Jun to surrender, I'll sit here and wait." Knowing that the general trend had gone, he sighed and raised his hand to take off the iron crown on his head. Immediately after, the Khan's seal letter, wrench, arrow and other objects were also taken out from under the handsome case, and pushed them to the special service stinger, "I'm tired of stinging Khan." Even if I admit defeat, I have to leave a little dignity, lest I die and I can't return to my ancestral land. ”

"Just as Chengzong Khan wished!" The special service medicine Luo Ge-Hu Stung only wanted to solve the immediate crisis as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to care about who came out to beg for these details to the Tang Army. Strode forward, grabbed the iron crown and put it on his head, then took the Khan's seal, wrench, arrow and other things in his arms, and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Before leaving, he hadn't forgotten to tell him in a loud voice, "Hu Gu, you stay, and wait for Chengzong Khan to pack up." ”

"Yes!" Berke, who originally served as the chief general of the guard box for Chengzong, agreed loudly, holding the hilt of the sword, and stood next to the throne, like an angry-eyed King Kong.

The inner ministers Ji Shi, Berke Bayan, Ejin Tubao and others quickly followed behind the new khan Hu Sting, and no one was interested in continuing to humiliate a abdicated khan. And some of the officials who originally belonged to Chengzong, when they found that the overall situation had been decided, also sighed and lowered their heads, and bowed down one after another to retire.

Qarluq was originally attached to the Turks, and under the influence of the latter, the wolf was the ancestral god. Among the wolves, when the new king ascends the throne, everything that originally belonged to the old king will be automatically transferred to the new king, and no she-wolf and young wolf will fight to the death for the old king. The rules of the Qarluqs are the same!

The only "loyal minister" is how lazy the foreign minister is. Because of the suspicion of leading the way for the Tang Army, even if he changes the court now, the new khan may not be able to accept him. On the contrary, when the crisis has passed, in order to calm the people's hearts, the sting must have a minister of sufficient weight to bear the wrath of his people. As the iron core of Chengzong, it is very suitable to kill him to sacrifice the flag!

"The Great Khan-" His eyes suddenly rolled, and he whispered a little temptation, "They all went to ask General Tang to surrender, and they are willing to live and die with the Great Khan, no matter what decision the Great Khan makes." ”

"How lazy, what are you going to do?" Berke, who was left to take care of Chengzong by the new Khan's sting, was furious, and immediately pulled out his knife and pointed at the foreign minister's lazy nose and threatened, "Chengzong has brought disaster to the whole clan, and he should sacrifice himself to calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty." If you dare to trick him into repentance, I will ...... Yes! ”

Suddenly, he felt a tingling pain in his back, spat out a mouthful of blood, and turned his head in surprise. saw that the little arrow of the pro-soldier Qibila smiled fiercely and pulled the knife out of his back.

And Chengzong, who had closed his eyes and waited for death before, regained his spirit at this moment, and shouted at all the guards who remained in the king's tent, "If you are unwilling to beg Tang Jun for mercy, come with me!" Immediately! Let's go up to the Golden Mountain together. ”

"You, you ......" Burke Hu pointed at the sect, wanting to reprimand the other party for going back on his word and harming the whole clan. But he couldn't say a complete sentence, and fell to the ground with his eyes open.

As if he had already guessed that he would say this, Chengzong pulled out the saber at his waist and continued to shout at everyone in the king's tent, "Brothers, take all your strength and follow me to the Golden Mountain." The Tang army only needed the head of a khan, and now the iron crown was worn on the top of the head of the stinger. ”

"Yes!" Duo lazy jumped up from the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and quickly followed behind Chengzong.

A small number of guards followed without hesitation, and the other half of the guards were too slow to keep up with the changes in the situation, and looked at the corpse of Burke Hu with dumbfounded eyes.

Seeing this, he continued to walk towards the back tent while protecting Chengzong, and at the same time opened his throat and shouted, "Are you all stupid? After taking the throne, which khan would keep the old khan's cronies by his side? Let's go, protect the Khan and climb over the gold mountain together. The Tang Army is fire, and we are grass. Immediately after the wildfire, the weeds regenerate in place. ”

"I'm on the other side of the gold mountain, and I'm hiding enough gold. But the leader of the tribe is my son-in-law. Chengzong's words also sounded immediately after, and instantly reached the ears of every guard. You can choose whether you follow me or follow the stinger. But, for my sake, who usually treats you as brothers, don't stop me! ”

"Let's go, I'll go with the Great Khan!"

"I go with the Great Khan, I don't believe in stinging!"

"The Great Khan has been gracious to us......"

The guards looked at each other, agreed, and followed. There are also three or two people who are not firm in their minds, and they did not move their feet, but they resolutely shut their mouths. So as not to sting the new khan and fail to report it, but be chopped into meat paste by the cronies of the old khan Chengzong!

On the way to the back tent, many guards were also caught off guard by the sudden change in the situation. Some people had the courage to raise their weapons to stop them, but they were killed on the spot by the guards loyal to Chengzong. Some people fled to report to the new khan about the sting, but it became a pot of porridge, and for a short time, they could not find any trace of the sting.

The back tent was soon close at hand, and Chengzong didn't care about his beautiful Kedun, and he didn't go to look for his sons and daughters. Rushed in, picked up a treasure chest, and ran out again.

Immediately, in front of all the cronies who came up, he smashed the treasure chest, and then, pointing to the gold ingots, precious stones, and jade all over the ground, he shouted: "One piece for each person, and those who see it have a share." Get on the horse and come with me! ”

"Swear allegiance to the Great Khan!" The cronies cheered in unison, or bent down to pick up the treasure and hide it in their arms, or disdained the treasure. Then they gathered Chengzong and fled to the rear of the camp, slashing them to the ground with knives wherever anyone dared to stop them.

"Surrender, willing to surrender, please be merciful to the Tang Heavenly Soldiers!"

"Surrender, Khan Chengzong is willing to go to Chang'an in person and wait for the Tang Emperor to deal with it!"

"Surrender, Ge Lulu is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. The mistakes were all made by Chengzong alone. He apologized with death and asked for forgiveness! ”

"Surrender ......"

Near the king's tent, there were constant voices begging for mercy. Yao Luo Ge Chengzong and his followers, however, snatched their horses, rushed out of the inner camp, and rushed to Jinshan, and no one looked back.
