Chapter 917: Slaughtering the Rouran Monarch

"Knock ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Drums sounded in the camp of the cadres in Heyun.

Groups of Rouran prisoners were escorted to the prisoner camp for care, and in the large camp, the cavalry of the cadres and soldiers were neatly organized, with swords and guns, and they were solemnly killed.

There was a wide passage on the way from the gate of the camp to the tent, the cavalry on both sides was solemn, the horses shook their heads from time to time, and some soldiers escorted Tuhezhen, Tan Wuye, Kuhehan, Abu Ganyuan and some other Rouran ministers and generals from outside the camp to the tent.

In front of the door of the handsome tent, Zhao Junsheng sat on a large chair, flanked by the ministers of the army, the generals and the armor of the Dragon Guard who acted as a guard.

The Rouran prisoners of war were escorted over, and they were forcibly pressed down and knelt on the ground one by one, but the national teacher Tan Wuye held on to his knees with a cold face, and Niu vigorously grabbed the spear of a cavalryman next to him and swept it over and smashed it into Tan Wuye's knee socket.

"Plop", Tan Wuye involuntarily knelt down, he wanted to stand up again, struggled with all his strength, the two armorers who held him could barely hold him, Niu Dali snorted coldly, raised the big knife with both hands and pressed down his shoulder, Tan Wuye couldn't struggle anymore.

Chang Kun came over and hugged his fists and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, a few Rouran generals and ministers and more than a thousand Rouran cavalry have been run, and others including Rouran Khan Tuhe Zhen, the national teacher Tan Wuye, the general Kuhehan, Abu Ganyuan and other cadres have all been captured, and the ministers and other ministers have come to pay the order!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, and Chang Kun, Yuan He and others stepped aside.

Zhao Junsheng's gaze swept over the faces of the captives, fell on Tuga Zhen's face, and asked, "You are Tuga Zhen?" โ€

Tuga Zhen looked at Zhao Junsheng fearlessly, "I'm Tuga Zhen, if it falls into your hands, I don't expect to live, give me a good time!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng suddenly asked, "I heard that you Rouran people have the custom of making the head of the enemy chief into a wine vessel, this behavior is regarded as a great martial art, I made your head into a wine vessel, what do you think?" โ€

After hearing this, Tuhe Zhen's face kept changing, and finally became indifferent, "Becoming a king or defeating a thief, you have this right!" I'm not a very famous Rouran Khan, maybe after death I will be famous for my head being made into a wine vessel, I should have more of you to give me this chance! โ€

At this time, the minister Lu Xuan stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a word, this Tuhe Zhen Khan is young, and he has only been a Rouran Khan for a long time, and he has no merits, let alone any outstanding martial arts, even if Your Majesty orders someone to make his head into a wine vessel, it will not be able to show His Majesty's world-famous martial arts, and the world will still think that His Majesty is brutal and barbaric, and a person like him is not worthy of being His Majesty's opponent!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng said: "If even Rouran Khan is not worthy of being my opponent, then who else in this world is qualified to be my opponent?" โ€

At this time, Xu Yan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a Xiongnu Empire in the northern grasslands of the far west, suspected to be the descendants of the Northern Huns who moved westward during the Han Dynasty, the current Xiongnu king is called Attila, the Xiongnu Empire is unprecedentedly powerful under his rule, and the two Roman Empires in the south and the east and west have been beaten by him for many years, and people call him the whip of God, and his name can make children stop crying, and his imperial territory is no less than my Daqian!" I think that if there is anyone else in the world today who is qualified to be His Majesty's opponent, it must be him! โ€

"Attila? I'm hoping for a showdown someday! โ€

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he looked at Tuhe Zhen and asked the ministers: "What do you think I should do with Tuhe Zhen?" โ€

Lu Xuan arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that if Tuhe is really willing to surrender to my great cadre and respect His Majesty as the lord, His Majesty can surround his life and give him an official position, so as to show His Majesty's majesty and benevolence!" โ€

Xu Yan retorted on the spot: "It's really ridiculous, I've only heard that the king treats the people of the world with a benevolent heart, and I have never heard that the king treats the enemy chieftains with a benevolent heart!" This is not benevolence, but raising tigers for trouble! โ€

Lu Xuan retorted again: "Your Majesty, the minister is different from Xu Yan's statement, Tuhe Zhen is a Rouran Khan after all, the king of a country, if he can submit to Your Majesty, wouldn't this show Your Majesty's might?" โ€

Zhao Junsheng looked at Tuhe Zhen, "Tuhe Zhen, are you willing to surrender to me?" โ€

Togama sneered and twisted his head to the side.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he asked his son: "Zhao Ping, what do you think I should do with him?" โ€

Zhao Ping bowed down and replied: "Erchen thinks that even if he expresses his willingness to surrender at this time, he can't believe it, in this case, he is not really surrendering, but forced by the situation." Everyone knows that the king does not see the king! So, Toga really must die! โ€

The so-called king does not see the king, which means that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and when two kings meet, one must die, so as to show that the authority of the king is unparalleled in the world!

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and waved his hand vigorously to the cow: "Let him go faster!" โ€

Niu vigorously gave the order, raised the big knife in his hand and cut it down, "poof", Tuhe Zhen's head fell to the ground, blood sprayed out, the two armorers who held down the corpse let go of their hands, Tuga Zhen's body fell to the ground, convulsed a few times and did not move.

Several of the ministers trembled with fear.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at them, "Is there anyone who is willing to surrender?" โ€

Hu Hehan immediately said: "I am the leader of the other tribes of Rouran, Hu Hehan, and I am willing to lead all the tribes to submit to Daqian and His Majesty!" โ€

Kuhehan's act of surrender immediately drew insults from the other Rouran captives.

"Coward!"

"Greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Huhehan, you dog, you are not worthy to be a warrior of the Rouran people, you are not worthy to be a tribal leader, you are a coward!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Shut up!" โ€

The Rouran captives stopped their invective.

"I ask again, who else is willing to surrender and surrender to me?"

No one spoke up, there may be people who have this idea in their hearts, but seeing that everyone else scolded Hu Hehan who surrendered just now, they didn't dare to speak for a while.

Zhao Junsheng didn't want to waste any more energy on these Rouran captives, and waved his hand: "Except for Hu Hehan, behead all the others!" โ€

Suddenly, he was taken aside, and a team of armor soldiers came out and drew their swords, and waved their swords one by one, without dragging mud and water, and the heads of the captives rolled down here, and the soil on the ground was stained red with blood.

In the blink of an eye, all these captured ministers and generals of Rouran were killed, leaving only Kuhehan alone, who stood by and watched as these rulers who were at the top of the Rouran Khanate yesterday were now turned into corpses that were gradually getting colder, and a chill under his feet rushed to the top of his head.

Zhao Junsheng moved his gaze to Hu Hehan and beckoned to him.

He Han stepped forward and pressed his right hand on his chest and bowed.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Everyone else swears not to surrender, why do you want to surrender?" Is it as they say, that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and that you are as cowardly as a mouse? โ€

Huhehan's face was as usual, and he said: "The Rouran Khanate is over, I don't think there is any need to bury it, it's not worth it!" Your Majesty's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, and only Your Majesty can make me truly surrender. If I can serve under His Majesty, I think I can do more, at least so that I don't come to this world in vain! โ€

Yo, this Kuhehan idea is really quite avant-garde, and now does anyone know that life is in the world to realize self-worth?

Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, thought for a while and asked, "What will you do?" โ€

"Back to Your Majesty, I will only fight, I will not do anything but war! I am willing to be an indestructible scimitar in the hands of His Majesty, and what His Majesty is pointing is the direction of my attack! โ€

Some of the ministers next to him couldn't help but mock: "How do I think that General Kuhehan's military talent is not very good, in this battle with our army, the men and horses led by the general have not been killed by our army!" โ€

Hu Hehan said: "I don't want to argue with this lord, how can I, the leader of a small Rouran tribe, be His Majesty's opponent?" If I can overcome Your Majesty, will I still have to surrender? I was in a humble position in the Rouran Army, and no one listened to what I said, and even in the end, my advice had some effect, but my advice was only partially adopted by Toga Shin! If Toga really took my advice, why did it come to this point? โ€

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Chang Kun, how many people are captive?" โ€

"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 6,000 people!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it again and said to Chang Kun: "You return to Chang'an with me first, as for how to settle you, after returning to Chang'an, I am thinking about it!" โ€

Hu Hehan saluted: "Yes! โ€

Zhao Junsheng then ordered: "Now we are not short of food and grass, pass the order, the Long Wei army will leave the escort, and from tomorrow, the other armies will scatter to search for all parts of the Jinwei Mountain and the lower reaches of the Ganwei River, and arrest all the Rouran people who can be found!" โ€

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The generals stood up one after another, clasped their fists and agreed.

Zhao Junsheng said to Zhao Ping again: "Send someone to contact Wei and Bai Jinguang, I want to know their news!" At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Yang Lie and the others, so that they could bring their troops to converge! โ€

"No!"

Zhao Junsheng then ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers of the whole army.

For a month and a half, the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers have either eaten dry food or washed it with boiling water to make a batter every day, and even if they have jerky, they can't eat it every day, and everyone is looking forward to eating a hot meal.

Among the captured grains were wheat flour, barley flour, and corn, which the men of the army made into steamed buns, boiled beef and mutton in pots, and added some simple seasonings.

At supper in the evening, everyone was given a large piece of meat, a few buns, a bowl of broth, and some wild vegetables, and among the seized supplies was only mare's milk wine, so everyone was given a bowl of mare's milk wine, which, although the officers and men of the cadres were not accustomed to drinking, always had some taste of wine.

When night fell, a fire was lit up in the camp, and some of the women were arranged to come and perform singing and dancing.

Dongfang Chen took a bite of meat, but he still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Your Majesty, there are so many Rouran captives, why did Your Majesty leave Kuhehan alone?" There is no shortage of generals in my great ranks, and the military talent of this person is not enough to make His Majesty sideways, right? โ€
