When they arrived, this was the highest point on the hillside, and there were already five or six soldiers working there, and the captain waved his whip and said: "This is the flag of the three armies, and you must stand here within the three sticks of incense, and for every time you delay a stick of incense, you will be whipped ten times!" ”

Everyone agreed, each speeding up, the captain assigned tasks to Zhaoju and Wu Litan, the two of them could not set up a flagpole, they could only dig the soil and lay their hands, Zhao Ju was resentful, Wu Litan saw that Zhao Ju's hands were bleeding, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You were injured just now?" ”

Zhaoju snorted, his right hand was stabbed by Gu Liwen a few days ago, and the wound just now burst again.

A soldier said: "Hey, do you know no, Yele Changnu has surrendered, we are gathering a large army here, who are we going to fight?" ”

"I heard that I went to beat a person surnamed Li, but I don't know who it is."

Wu Litan was taken aback and asked, "When did Yele Changnu surrender?" He was a little annoyed in his heart, Yele Changnu himself had surrendered, and he did not allow these small tribes to surrender.

The soldier glanced at Zhaoju.

"It was yesterday afternoon that Yele Changnu personally ran to Nanjin City and surrendered to our Great Khan, and the Great Bird Country is gone!"

"Then, what about the Sixteen Prefectures before You?"

"Yesterday, General Licheng came with good news, there was infighting in Youzhou, and their guards have been killed by their subordinates, so now the sixteen states in Youqian belong to our Dajing Kingdom!"

Zhaoju was stunned on the spot, Da Wei Guo tried his best to get the sixteen states in front of Youqian, but he didn't think that it would easily fall into the hands of Dajing now, and it was not Yele Changnu who came to slaughter Zhuozhou and warn the small tribes not to surrender, but the trick used by Dajing to capture it.

Wu Li said frankly: "Yele Changnu has surrendered, Yele Yanxi fled without knowing what to do, isn't that the battle has ended, and the Great Khan is going to rule the prairie well?" ”

The soldier laughed, "I hope so." ”

A soldier on the side said disdainfully: "You two have no knowledge, what's the point of hitting Nanjin, there is nothing to grab at all, if you want to fight, you can fight Dawei, they not only have a lot of money, but also a lot of beautiful women!" ”

Zhaoju was taken aback.

"Didn't Dajing form an alliance with Da Wei, they are so good, why are you going to fight them?"

"Forming an alliance is a fart, whoever calls them rich, rich and beautiful women should fight!"

"It's—"

Wu Litan also chimed in.

Zhaoju was a little speechless, and he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the two elder brothers could anticipate and prepare early.

The huge flagpole was not erected until the fourth incense stick was burned, and Zhaoju also had back pain and pain in his hands and feet.

The captain came over with a whip and shouted: "The military order is like a mountain, you have delayed the time, and each of you will be whipped twenty!" ”

The soldiers who were working shook their heads, but there was no one to defend them, and they stood in a row facing the flagpole and pouted their buttocks.

When the captain saw Zhaoju and Wu Litan standing on the side, as if he hadn't heard the lecture, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted, "You two, stand together!" ”

Zhao Ju couldn't hold it back, and said angrily: "We are not your soldiers, we are here to submit the surrender letter and table, on behalf of a tribe, it is too much to help you, why punish us!" ”

The captain was furious, rushed to Zhaoju in a few steps, pointed his whip, and scolded angrily.

"Bah, you two surrendered, lowly goods, you dare to disobey discipline, will you obey the dispatch after surrendering, believe it or not, Lao Tzu gave an order, raze your tribe!"

Wu Litan hurriedly went to pull Zhaoju.

"It's because we're not doing well, it's okay to get a few whips, it's okay!"

"No, this principle must be said, in the past, it was Yele Yanxi who oppressed our weak tribe, and now Wanyan Khan is here and it's the same, how do you want everyone to be convinced, how to do it with him, you are ruining the reputation of the Great Khan, I want to tell him and ask him to reason!"

How could the captain fight with his mouth than Zhaoju, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he suddenly brushed the ground and whipped down.

"Boy, you can say yes with your mouth, do you think I'm afraid of you if you sue me!"

Zhaoju was whipped on his body, he stubbornly came up, grabbed the tip of the whip, dragged it to the big tent, and shouted: "You fight, you fight, there is a kind of follow me to see the Great Khan!" ”

The big tent was at the bottom of the hillside, Zhaoju pulled down, the captain went up, but was dragged down by Zhaoju, Wu Litan followed the side, shouting: "Don't pull, don't pull, have something to say!" ”

Zhaoju raised his voice and shouted: "I want to see the Great Khan, I want to see the Great Khan, I want to sue!" ”

At this time, the guards outside the big tent rushed over, and someone pressed his waist knife and said angrily: "The Great Khan is busy, you are making a lot of noise here, aren't you afraid of being punished!" ”

The captain said angrily: "It's this kid who is arguing, and it's not me!" He finally stabilized his figure, and was about to kick it over, when suddenly an angry shout came from the big tent: "Who is making noise outside, bring this king in!" ”

The guard at the door heard this and shook his head at the three men.

"You're done!"

Wu Li was frightened, he regretted it, he didn't expect Zhaoju to be so angry, he didn't bring him if he knew it.

The guards escorted the three of them into the tent.

The inside of the tent was brightly lit, and the floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the inside was very large. In the tent stood eight personal guards, all of them stout and very fierce.

As soon as Zhaoju entered, he saw a person sitting in the middle of the big tent, and next to him stood a thin old man with triangular eyes, and in front of the two of them was a large marching table, on which a map was spread out.

On either side of the tent, there were two rows of weapon racks, one row of maces, axes and sledgehammers, and the other row of six large bows.

The man sitting was not angry, he was tall and burly, and the old man with triangular eyes stood beside him, not much taller than him.

The man was about forty years old, with a lion face, a mink hat on his head, two white feathers on the hat, his long hair scattered over his shoulders, large gold rings hanging from his ears, and a red fur coat on his body.

Zhaoju was shocked in his heart, this person's appearance was the legendary Wan Yan A Shilan, and he couldn't imagine that he himself was so powerful.

Wu Litan stepped forward and knelt, and the captain knelt on one knee and looked up, but Zhaoju stood and did not kneel.

One of the guards kicked Zhaoju in the crook of his knee, and Zhaoju staggered to the ground on one knee.

The big man sitting was the first person in the Dajing Kingdom, Wan Yan A Shilan, he stared at the three people below with one eye, and asked in a deep voice: "You are shouting outside, you want to see this king, why did you come?" ”

"Qi Qi Great Khan, the affairs arranged by the last general, they completed it beyond the specified time, so they should accept the punishment, but these two people actually disobeyed the order, and the last general was going to forcibly carry it out, so they made a big noise!"

The captain pointed at Zhaoju, and a wicked person sued first.

Wan Yan A Shilan nodded and turned her head to look at Zhaoju.

Zhaoju clenched his hands into fists.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, the two of us are from the Ancient Department, we are here today to submit the surrender letter and table, but the Great Khan is busy with military affairs, and Lord Seburi wants us to wait outside the door, but this general takes us as people, not only makes us do things, but also punishes us when we are done, this, this is really ruining the reputation of the Great Khan!"

Wan Yan and Shilan sighed.

"Did you say that he didn't tell the king?"

Zhaoju secretly scolded Sai Buli, this guy deliberately made things difficult and let them stand here and eat behind closed doors.

The captain said angrily, "How can this ruin the reputation of the Great Khan? ”

Zhaoju sneered.

"The Great Khan is the newly rising holy lord of our steppe, everyone wants to go, and now all the tribes have come to take refuge, but I can't imagine that we are not only deliberately snubbed, but also driven at will, this is not to ruin the reputation of the Great Khan, who will dare to take refuge in the future?"

Hearing this, Wan Yan A Shilan slapped the table and said angrily: "Yes, this is to ruin the reputation of this king, Ye Le Yanxi used to bully our weak tribe like this, so this king rebelled, now I must not do this kind of thing!" ”
