Chapter 969: The Death of the Khitan

"What? Yeluhadi, you, you, I really didn't expect that you would choose to surrender to the Great Han! Seeing that Yeluhadi took the initiative to lead the crowd to surrender and immediately said his "conspiracy", Abaoji couldn't help but be shocked and reprimanded angrily.

But when he saw Yelu, he sneered: "When death is at the head, who can take care of whom?" Didn't you let me use my own life as bait in exchange for your life? I just don't accept it, why do you exchange my sacrifice for your life? Are you the only one who deserves to live, and we deserve to die? ”

"I, I am the lord of the Khitan, the reason why I cherish my life is mainly for the long-term development of the clan, you are not as capable as me, there is no way to lead the clan to prosperity, shouldn't you sacrifice yourself to ensure my survival? Because only if my survival is guaranteed, can my clan be guaranteed. Don't you know, Jerodadhi? Sometimes it takes more courage to live in humiliation than to die generously, and I wish I was the one who died generously today, and someone else who could survive, so that I would not be burdened with the heavy burden of reviving my people......"

"Hehe, you really know how to speak, I really didn't expect you to use such beautiful words to cover up your shameless behavior, today I will reveal your true colors", Yelu Shidi smiled coldly, interrupted Abaoji's words, and said loudly: "You are right, you do have the ability, but it is your ability to bring our race to a dead end, at the beginning our race only had thousands of households, and our life was even more backward, it was you who made our race progress to an unimaginable point in a short period of time, You pass on the skill of casting iron tools to your clansmen, you also know how to do business with the Han people, you also know how to recruit the tribes of other ethnic groups to be used by me, you also know how to distinguish rewards and punishments, let the clansmen have the courage to fight, and are afraid of personal fighting, these are not as good as you, but so what? ”

When Yelu Shidi said this, he suddenly became very excited, and then said sharply: "But what followed was your ambition, you ignored the rules of taking turns to be the leader among the tribes, refused to pass on the position of leader to me and your brothers, you also arrogantly proclaimed yourself the king of the Great Liao, joined the foreign alliance, and became the enemy of the Great Han, you are full of confidence in the war, and once said that it would only take two years to attack the Great Han and complete the hegemony, but what about now?" You buried our few tribesmen, and now that there are no more people, what's the use of you as a leader? Don't mention your ability anymore, it is precisely because of your superior ability that our race will quickly perish, if your ability is very mediocre and you dare not go against the Han, maybe our race can still be preserved. ”

Abaoji was silent when he heard this, he never thought that his uncle, who looked ordinary, and even a little mediocre, would be so wise, although these words were rough, but they were so reasonable, even he himself was moved by those words, and sighed secretly: "That's true, before I have no ability, the race can still live in peace, although I worry about water and grass and clothes every year, but after all, the race is also developing slowly, But since I listened to the bewitchment of Nanhua Lao Xian, since my ability has grown, I have made the clan come to this point, a tribe with thousands of lands, now there are only a few thousand people left, and these thousands of people are also under the threat of death at any time, even if I can escape today, how many people can I take away? In the future, even if I can move in to rescue the army and defeat Liu He's army, how can a person who has lost his foundation gain a foothold in this world? Now that I think about it, it's true that I didn't bring the race to prosperity, but I brought the race to a dead end step by step......."

Thinking of this, Abaoji's heart suddenly blamed himself deeply, he shook his head with a wry smile, and pulled out the saber from under his ribs, which was a sharp blade that he couldn't imagine before he woke up, but this sharp blade did not help him to victory, but finally let him come to this point, so Abaoji is not proud of that knife at all now, but is deeply ashamed.

"Uncle is right, it's all my fault, it's me who brought the race to a dead end, and if it weren't for me, maybe the race wouldn't be like this. I know that my death can't solve the problem at all, but now I can only choose to apologize for my sins with death, uncle, from now on, the clan will be entrusted to you, alas, Abaoji has no shame to live anymore, I am ashamed of my father, ashamed of my clansmen, and ashamed of my ancestors. ”

Abaoji sighed, stabbed the saber in his hand to his chest with his backhand, only to hear a snort, the best animal skin armor was like paper paste in front of this knife, and it was easily rushed, and then Abaoji spurted blood from his mouth, slammed into the ground, and died of anger.

After Abaoji's death, his wife Shu Luping and hundreds of personal soldiers under his command, and more than a dozen generals committed suicide immediately, even those who did not commit suicide on the spot, all of them cried loudly.

"You ......" Seeing Abaoji's death, even Yelushidi, who had been dissatisfied with him before, couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, he didn't expect this nephew to be so courageous and able to decisively bear the responsibility and apologize for his guilt with death, so the resentment in his heart finally dissipated, and then sighed: "I understand, even if you make these mistakes, I am far inferior to you, it is indeed you who are more suitable to be the head of the race, but it is precisely because of your excellence that the race has taken the race to the point of no return, if you are a mediocre person, Maybe it's the blessing of the race. ”

After sighing, Abaoji led the crowd to surrender to Zhao Yun, which Zhao Yun did not refuse, because he saw that the Khitan tribe was all in mourning, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, in this case, if they refuse to surrender, the other party will definitely fight hard, which will bring heavy losses to their own side, which is by no means what Zhao Yun wants to see.

As long as these people are captured, their lives will be in their own hands in the future, and they can be kneaded at will? Why can't I live with the lives of my soldiers now?

So far, the Han army only took half an hour to break through the Khitan Shangjing City, which is known as impregnable, captured hundreds of Khitan chieftains below the jurisdiction of Yelu, more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers and their families, and beheaded thousands of people, which also announced the complete extinction of the Khitan Liao power, even if there are more than 10,000 people, but this number is simply not enough to disperse into the vast Han territory, at most after two generations of efforts, the Khitan nation will be completely assimilated, and it will become history.
