Water Margin people

Chapter 1556 Please forgive me

After doing all this, Anbahai's complexion did not improve at all. Instead, he returned to the Mongolian army camp with a very complicated expression.

"Fuhan, we have captured Yinan and his men, and the Naiman tribe has been destroyed!"

Hutuqi excitedly reported the good news to his father Kubula Khan that their Mongolian tribe had actually swept across the grassland, fulfilling the dream of their ancestors.

There was not much joy on Kublai Khan's face, instead he looked like he was worried.

"Brother, we miscalculated this time. I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy to resolve!"

Anbahai looked at Hebula Khan and spoke.

"Don't blame you, I have the same idea!"

Hebula Khan sighed and spoke.

"Father Khan, what are you talking about!"

He'anda asked quickly, they had won the battle and now should be a time to be happy, the warriors were dividing the spoils and were waiting to have a bonfire party to celebrate.

"I'm afraid that the news of our passive resistance has reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor. Anbahai and I will go to Gaochang City to apologize! Come on, prepare two prisoner carts!"

Hebule shouted to the defenders outside the tent.

"Father Khan, we have pacified the entire grassland, how dare he do this!"

Hutuci was furious. They had been fighting for Qi for such a long time, and now that they had won the war, Qi wanted to attack them.

The rest of the people in the tent were also filled with righteous indignation, and each of them drew their knives and was ready to fight to the death.

"Quiet!"

Hebula snorted coldly upon seeing this, stopping everyone's impulsive thoughts. Not to mention that they were suffering heavy casualties and their soldiers were exhausted, even in their heyday they were no match for Qi. Yelu Dashi's 500,000 elite troops were defeated in the first battle.

"Hey, all of you come here and kneel down!"

Hebula Khan looked at his seven sons and said, "You sons have worked very hard and performed very well in this battle."

"Father Khan!"

All seven of them knelt before Kublai Khan.

"I am already old. I wanted to let your uncle take care of you for a few years, but now he and I have to leave. From now on, the Mongolian tribe will be handed over to you. Hutuqi, you performed very well in this battle. From now on, you will temporarily take over the throne of Khan!"

Hebula Khan looked at Hutuqi and spoke.

"Father Khan, is there really no other way? It won't be a problem if you don't go. We have helped Qi so much, we should give him this little face!"

Hutuci said that they had made great contributions, and since their merits and demerits offset each other, they should be fine.

"You don't understand. It's not that Qi needs our help, but they gave us a chance to survive! Unfortunately, our faith was not strong enough and we had the wrong idea along the way! Now we can only wait and see how the emperor punishes us. I just hope he won't vent his anger on our tribe!"

Hebula Khan said that he only hoped that his life could calm Sun Lei's anger.

"Brother, you won't die! At most, you will just... conquer more places for him!"

Seeing that Kublai Khan was determined, Anbahai said that based on his understanding of Sun Lei, Sun Lei would never kill them. Sun Lei was a very pragmatic person and would not do meaningless things. If they did something wrong, they just needed to make sufficient compensation.

"I hope so!"

Kublai Khan sighed. He didn't think a king who could easily massacre hundreds of thousands of people could be a kind person.

Two prisoner cars were brought outside the tent, and Kubula Khan and Ambaghai each left the camp in one.

Hutuci and others followed. They were still unwilling to let their father leave like this.

But just as they arrived outside the camp, another prisoner van arrived, and inside it was Jiwusi of the Wanggu tribe.

"This……"

Hutuci and others watched all this in surprise.

“So you guys are the same way!”

Ji Wusi in the prison car looked at Hebule and Anbahai who were also sitting in the prison car and smiled bitterly. They had chosen to be passive in the past few months, wanting to see the result of the war between Qi and Western Liao. But everything was beyond their expectations. Qi quickly resolved the battle like a whirlwind, not giving them any time to react.

"You traitors will end up like us!"

Yilan Khan roared in the prison car.

"You idiot, I should have killed you earlier!"

Hebule shook his head and said, it is hard to believe that this guy is still so stupid.

"We made a mistake and are here to ask for forgiveness, but you are a captive of an exterminated clan. We are very different from you!"

An Bahai looked at it and found it difficult to speak.

The prisoner cars were grouped together and headed towards the Tianshan Mountains. They needed to cross the Tianshan Mountains to reach Gaochang City on the south side of the Tianshan Mountains.

Gaochang City.

A large number of people dressed in foreign costumes appeared on both sides of the road outside the city. They prostrated themselves on the ground with their foreheads pressed to the ground.

The earth was shaking slightly as the Qi army slowly approached. No one dared to look up. They just closed their eyes and felt the momentum of the mighty army, and were already trembling with fear.

Sun Li had his soldiers line up on both sides to welcome Sun Lei's royal presence.

"Long live!"

When Sun Li saw Sun Lei’s flag, he immediately shouted.

"Long live!"

The soldiers also roared in unison.

The Gaochang people who were lying on the ground lowered their heads even further, with their faces completely touching the ground.

"Has everything around here been taken?"

Sun Lei asked directly without any politeness.

"Your Majesty, the cities north and south of Tianshan have been captured! General Du Fu has led his troops to the vicinity of Congling in the west."

Sun Li immediately replied that this time he had conquered dozens of cities and expanded the territory by a thousand miles, and this military achievement was no less than beheading a general and capturing a flag.

“Well, it saves a lot of time!”

Sun Lei nodded. He was very satisfied with the result. Things needed to be done quickly. He also wanted to return to Liangshan City as soon as possible.

"Did you arrange all of this?"

Sun Lei pointed at the local man lying on the ground and asked Sun Li.

"The emperor has arrived. This is a supreme grace. These people should welcome him with great courtesy!"

Sun Li said.

"Let them get up and do what they need to do. I'm tired. Don't waste time!"

Sun Lei waved his hand and said that the sun was very strong these days and he was sweating profusely while riding his horse. After leaving Hami and heading west, Sun Lei remembered that Gaochang City was near the Flaming Mountain in later generations. Just the three words "Flaming Mountain" revealed how hot the temperature was.

"Your Majesty, please come into the city!"

Sun Li hurriedly led the way. He arranged all this in order to let the emperor establish his authority in front of the locals. But now that the emperor was unwilling to do these things, it was natural for him to go into the city to rest. He had experienced the high temperature in Gaochang City for a long time and knew the pros and cons.

The local people of Gaochang stood up tremblingly, but when they looked up, they saw the murderous Qi army. The mighty momentum made them fear from the bottom of their hearts, and they were so scared that they crawled on the ground again.

It was not until the Qi army entered the city that the people of Gaochang dared to stand up. However, at this time several prison carts came over, and Yelu Dashi, Bilege, Ajisi, Mahmud, and Ibrahim were locked in the prison carts respectively.

The Gaochang people were filled with disbelief. The Khan who was once high and mighty was now a prisoner.
