Chapter 548: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger

Zhu Xie Jinhai no longer had the heart to ask about Gao Chang's gains and losses, Gao Chang was like a woman who was ravaged by him, he was tired of staying in Gao Chang for a long time, but there was nowhere to go, he was dissatisfied with Gao Chang, and now he finally waited for the noble lady in Yizhou to flatter him, of course, he kicked the worthless Gao Chang away, and threw himself into the arms of the noble lady without any worries.

Seizing the position of Shatuo Khan, he also mastered the allegiance of the thirteen large and small tribes of the Zhuyue Division, as well as the other six tribes, which was the dream he had pursued for many years.

At the same time that the Tang army entered Gaochang City, Zhu Xie Jinhai also led an army of 5,000 into Yiwu City.

The first thing he did was to send an army to surround the Council of Elders, not so much to eliminate the sworn enemies, but to force them to recognize himself as Shatuo Khan.

Zhu Xie Jinhai himself led a large army to the king's tent, and Zhu Xie Liang came out to greet his uncle's arrival nervously.

Zhu Xie Jinhai said coldly: "How powerful Shatuo was originally, but in your hands, it is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and now it has fallen to the point of imminent destruction, how can you explain it to your father?" ”

Zhu Xieliang was reprimanded so embarrassed that he said with tears in his eyes: "I am incapable and incompetent, and I can't 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 has no ambition, then he will never want the position of Shatuo Khan, if he himself comes with ambition, then even if he does not give it to him, it will be forcibly taken, it is better to give it to him, let him turn the tide, Shatuo can no longer fight among himself.

Of course, Zhu Xieliang understands that with his uncle's strength, he no longer has the strength to keep the position of Khan, Shatuo has always obeyed the strong as the king, Zhu Xieliang can only accept the reality and save his life.

Zhu Xie Jinhai nodded, "I don't want to rob you of the position of Khan, it's just that Sha Tuo is in danger, with your ability to really can't control this situation, only I come out of danger and try to save the defeat, and when Sha Tuo becomes strong again, I will return the position of Khan to you, after all, you are my nephew, according to the order, you should inherit my Khan position, and then my son will inherit your Khan position, isn't it?" ”

"It's up to my uncle to decide!"

"Good! Give me the position of Khan now. ”

Zhu Xie Liang immediately summoned the nobles and officials of Shatuo, and handed over the golden wolf head order, which symbolized the position of the khan, to Zhu Xie Jinhai in full view.

Zhu Xie Jinhai originally had a very high prestige in the Yue Division, and according to the succession, he should inherit the position of Khan, but he was blocked by the Council of Elders, so Zhu Xie Liang returned the position of Khan to Zhu Xie Jinhai, and no one objected, and everyone strongly agreed with Zhu Xie Jinhai's position.

Again, the trouble lies with the Presbyterian Church.

Zhu Xie Jinhai received news from the generals who led troops to surround the Council of Elders that the hall was empty, and the eighteen elders fled from the hall in the middle of the night last night.

This news made Zhu Xie Jinhai furious, and at the same time worried, he immediately called Zhu Xie Jinman to discuss countermeasures.

Of course, Zhu Xie Jinman knew what was going on, and it was he who sent someone to secretly inform them of the eighteen six elders, so that they could flee from Yiwu City in time.

"Khan, we can't hesitate any longer, immediately send people to the tribes to gather the young strong, if I guess correctly, the Tang army must have secretly reached an agreement with them to divide the Yue Ministry, we can't sit back, we still have at least 20,000 troops after the convening of the Yue Qing Zhuang, and we can still fight to the death with the various departments, who will kill the deer is not yet known, we still have a chance."

Zhu Xie Jinman hesitated and said, "Can you negotiate with them again and unite against the Tang Army?" ”

"Khan, the Garland chief of the Secret Department is my brother-in-law, I know him better than you, if you can get the pasture and population of the Secret Department with the Tang Army, I believe that he will definitely take refuge in the Tang Army, as for the other tribes, with all due respect to me, they may cooperate with Zhu Xieliang, but they will never cooperate with you, otherwise, the eighteen elders will not all escape."

Zhu Xie Jinman's last words deeply hurt Zhu Xie Jinhai's self-esteem, and he shouted violently: "If they really dare to betray, then fight to the death with them!" ”

He immediately sent people to the various departments of the moon to summon the young man.

At the same time, the chiefs of the six divisions of Shatuo also received a letter from Guo Song himself, saying that the Tang army was willing to divide the property, pasture and population of the Zhuyue Department equally among the six divisions, and everyone shared the northern court.

.........

The six ministries jointly issued an ultimatum to Zhu Xie Jinhai, asking him to immediately return the position of Khan to Zhu Xie Liang, otherwise they would meet each other in arms, Zhu Xie Jinhai did not hesitate to reject the ultimatum of the six ministries, and at this time news came out that Zhu Xie Liang's family had been secretly executed by Zhu Xie Jinhai.

The two sides no longer had any contact, and began to Chinese prepare for battle.

Five days later, the internal strife of the Shatuo tribes broke out in the grasslands north of Yiwu City, and Zhu Xie Jinhai led the 20,000 troops that had just been cobbled together and the 30,000 allied troops of the 6 divisions to start a fierce battle.

At the same time, Guo Song led 12,000 Tang troops into Yizhou and approached the city of Yiwu.

At this time, Yiwu City was no longer guarded by an army, Ye Hu Zhu Xie Jinman surrendered to the Tang army, and hundreds of nobles of the Zhuyue Division, including Zhu Xie Jinhai's wife and children, all became prisoners of the Tang army.

Guo Song only learned at this time that Zhu Xieliang, the Khan of Shatuo, had been poisoned by Zhu Xie Jinhai, his three sons were all killed by Zhu Xie Jinhai, and his wife was occupied by Zhu Xie Jinhai.

Guo Song did not leave any trouble, and ordered that all hundreds of nobles of the Zhuyue Department be killed and their property was sealed into storage, and at the same time, Guo Song released several elders of the Zhuyue Department and ordered them to rush to report the news to Zhu Xie Jinhai.

The war in the north was fought very fiercely, a few days of fierce fighting caused heavy casualties on both sides, the Zhuyue Department had a slight advantage, Zhu Xie Jinhai completely annihilated the 5,000 troops of the Chumi Division, and defeated the 4,000 cavalry of the pre-branch, but the Zhuyue Department also suffered nearly half of the casualties, at this moment, the news of the Tang army's occupation of Yiwu City reached the army, and the army's heart was shaken.

Zhu Xie Jinhai retreated, and wanted to withdraw back to Gaochang, but was seized by the six coalition forces and launched a full-line attack on the Zhuyue Division, Zhu Xie Jinhai was defeated, and countless people were killed.

Zhu Xie Jinhai was unable to collect the defeated army, so he had to lead more than 2,000 remnants of the army to flee in the direction of Gaochang City.

When night fell, on the west bank of the Yiwu River, more than 2,000 soldiers lit several bonfires, killed sheep and barbecued, and drank milk wine.

Zhu Xie Moshan sat silently on the side, and said in silence for a moment: "Khan, I feel that it may not be wise to go to Gaochang. ”

"Why?" Zhu Xie Jinhai asked with a mouth full of wine.

"Two reasons! First, we don't know whether the Tang army captured Gaochang City, and secondly, there are no people from the Yue tribe on the Gaochang side, and we are like a big tree without soil, which will die sooner or later. ”

"So what do you say?"

"I suggest going west and leading the people of the Chuyue Clan westward."

"To the west?"

Zhu Xie Jinhai sneered, "Where can we go west?" ”

"Go to Huangcaobo and ask for refuge from the Hui people."

Zhu Xie Jinhai was silent for a moment and said, "Then what about my wife and children?" ”

"At this time, I can't take care of them anymore, my wife can remarry, my son can have another life, let's save my life first!"

As soon as Zhu Xie Moshan's words fell, the Shatuo army at the bonfire was in chaos, and Zhu Xie Jinhai stood up in shock, only to see the soldiers running around, shouting, "The Tang army is here!" The Tang army is coming! ”

Zhu Xie Jinhai shouted, turned around and ran towards his war horse, at this time, more than a dozen horsemen rushed over and shouted: "Khan, retreat quickly!" ”

Zhu Xie Jinhai turned on his horse, turned his horse's head and ran south.

Zhu Ximoshan took off his armor and took advantage of the unpreparedness of others to sneak into the Yiwu River.......

Zhu Xie Jinhai ran wildly with more than a dozen personal soldiers, ran hundreds of steps, and killed a Tang army in front, blocking their way, and the general headed by Fang Tian painted halberd, golden helmet and iron armor, it was Guo Song, the commander of the Tang army.

Guo Song said coldly: "Zhu Xie Jinhai, let's settle the old accounts from ten years ago!" ”
