Chapter 222: Mutiny (2)
At this time, Shibi Khan's "brutal" behavior has been known to all the soldiers in the battalion, and even under the prior arrangement of Tuoba Shishu, Shibi Khan has done many things that are not tolerated, but at this time, no matter what he says, Shibi Khan is now unable to stand up and defend himself.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Tuoba Shishu climbed on the high platform that is usually used to issue orders in the battalion, waved to the crowd below to signal them to be quiet, cleared his throat, and said loudly to them: "What just happened, I don't need to say that everyone has seen it. Our group has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. But now Shibi Khan doesn't know whose demagoguery he has listened to, and wants to get rid of us!
But as a khan, he couldn't make it clear that he would directly drag us out and behead us, so he made such a senseless southern expedition and brainless order us to fight against the Han army several times our own strength. As a result, we were defeated by a Han army that outnumbered us several times under the city of Wuwei County, and we were finally able to recover from the siege. I originally thought that the Khan would understand the difficulties of the front-line soldiers no matter what, but who knows, what awaits us is not only not the comfort of good life, but what awaits us is a bright butcher's knife!
Brothers, are you really worthy of being our Khan? Or is he really the Shibi Khan whom we once loyally loved? When he had ordered us to attack the Great Wall defenses, he had already felt that something was wrong with Shibi Khan. Later, sure enough, Shibi Khan broke the oath he made in front of the Immortal Heaven! When he no longer regarded us as brothers, but as enemies, the immortal heavens sent down a chastitch. Let Shibi Khan's disease recur, and he can only stay in bed all day long.
But even so, we chose to remain loyal to Shibi Khan. We have always believed that Shibi Khan was blinded by traitors, which is why he did these unwise things. That's why they will continue to obey the orders of Shibi Khan, and after losing a lot of manpower below the Great Wall, they will continue to fight deep into the hinterland of the Han people. But now that everything is clear, there is no traitor who bewitches Shibi Khan, but our most respected Khan, who thinks we are a threat to him! So he wants to use the hands of the Han people to get rid of all of us who are a threat to him! Tell my brothers, on the steppe, how we will punish those who break their oaths. ”
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! The soldiers and leaders in the audience raised their weapons in their hands and shouted rhythmically.
Tuoba Shi Shu looked at the people in the audience and nodded, and then said angrily to the people next to him, "Bring him up." ”
Everyone next to them dodged a path and escorted in from the outside a man wearing a sackcloth hood and being tied up with flowers. It wasn't so much that it was the one who brought him up, but that it dragged him all the way to the high platform. After taking the man to the high platform, he knelt directly on the ground. Tuoba Shi Shu stepped forward and ripped off the linen hood on the man's head, revealing the face under the hood, which was Shibi Khan. However, there is a slight difference from the previous one, and the original high-spirited appearance of Shibi Khan has turned into an old and decadent appearance with white hair.
After everyone in the audience saw Shibi Khan, they were even more excited. If it weren't for the soldiers in the audience who were there to maintain it, I'm afraid they would have rushed to the stage at this time and tore the Shibi Khan on the stage to pieces.
Shibi Khan knelt on the ground at this time, although his body was decadent and weak, but because Tuoba Shishu arranged for his subordinates to feed him some miraculous medicine, his mind could still think at this time. He looked at the angry crowd under the stage, and the other side of the high platform to watch coldly, and already knew everything that had happened during this time and what was about to happen, so he twisted his head to the side to look at Tuoba Shishu standing beside him, and said to him in a hoarse voice: "I thought we had a common enemy. ”
"We've always had a common enemy, but we have a different approach to the enemy, and it seems that the people around you are more optimistic about my solution. My esteemed Khan, you can go with confidence. I will definitely take your legacy with you and leave an unforgettable nightmare for those Han people. Tuoba Shishu turned his back to the crowd, squatted down in front of Shibi Khan, and said to him.
"You're going to drag the Turks into the abyss! You don't understand how terrible those Han people really are, and you will completely ruin the Turks. Shibi Khan closed his eyes and muttered.
"You will drag the Turks into the abyss by doing so. We obviously have the strength to defeat the Han Chinese, but why do we bow down to the Han Chinese? Do you want your descendants to start speaking Chinese and using Chinese characters? Your willingness to be a dog of the Han people does not mean that all the Turkic people are willing to be the dogs of the Han people! After Tuoba Shishu finished speaking, he stood up, no longer paying attention to Shibi Khan, and turned to look at the people in the audience who raised their hands to them and said:
"The sinner, Ashina Jishi, known as Shibi Khan, has now been captured, and here it is! This man who betrayed his oath is here! According to the will of the Immortal Heaven, such a perfidious person should be allowed to die a miserable death in the most cruel way. But in his years as a khan, he still did something more or less beneficial to the Turks. In recognition of his exploits in this area, we decided to decapitate only his head and send him back to the steppe for burial. ”
Then Tuoba Shishu turned to Shibi Khan and said, "Ashina Jishi, do you have anything to refute the ruling?" ”
"Immortality is above. Curse you, and your descendants will end up in the same fate as me. After Shibi Khan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Tuoba Shi Shu Tie next to him blushed, took the beheading blade from the hands of the person next to him, and then raised it above his head and slashed down without hesitation, cutting off his head. Shibi Khan's headless body still knelt silently in place, blood gushing out from the gap in his neck. Tuoba Shi Shu next to the spray was full of faces, Tuoba Shi Shu inserted the sharp blade in his hand into the high platform under his feet, turned around and said to the people in the audience: "Sinner." Ashina Jishi has been duly punished! ”
Cheers rang out from the audience, and many of them chose to celebrate the death of Shibi Khan in order to protect themselves.
