Chapter 177 Forced
The general that Leng Qingyi deliberately let go was also a fierce general of Beidong, named Huyan Heji.
That day, after escaping, Huyan Heji went straight to the Beidong camp, where the Dongxia soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
No matter what, he could not have imagined that he had only led 50,000 soldiers to pursue the enemy, but his home was robbed.
It was stolen so thoroughly.
Seeing how leisurely the Dongxia people cleaned up the battlefield, it must have been that the entire military camp was wiped out.
Thinking of this, Huyan Heji felt a chill spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body.
For fear of being discovered, they could only look around the military camp from a distance.
Just as he expected, the entire military camp of more than 100,000 soldiers was wiped out.
Even though I don't want to believe it, this is the fact.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Beidong and other tribal alliances were killed or captured by the Dongxia people.
What about the 50,000 soldiers he brought with him?
In addition to the 5,000 who were surrounded and killed by the Emperor of Dongxia, what about the remaining 45,000?
He couldn't believe it and was unwilling to accept it. He waited near the military camp all night but didn't see any other soldiers returning.
Unconvinced, he searched the grassland alone again.
No living people were found, but a large area of burnt marks was seen in one place.
Among the charcoal, one could vaguely see broken limbs and the armor worn by the Beidong soldiers.
The scene before him was too shocking. Based on his experience, at least tens of thousands of people were burned to death here.
Huyan Heji, who was always fearless, felt a little weak in the legs when he dismounted.
He stumbled and searched in a large piece of charcoal, and the more he searched, the colder his heart became.
After searching for a while, he was sure that these tens of thousands of people were the majority of the 50,000 troops he brought with him.
all dead!
He is the only one left!
Including the entire Beidong Alliance, he is the only one left!
Thinking of this, the panic and anxiety in his heart made him fall to the ground.
It took him a long time to stand up unsteadily.
Looking back in the direction of the winter and summer military camp, his eyes were full of anger and murderous intent.
After staying on the grassland for two days, it was five days after the battle when he returned to the royal court at full speed.
When he entered the royal court, he specifically asked the soldiers guarding the city whether there had been any people or news coming from the border camp recently.
After receiving a negative answer, he stayed in the royal court for another night.
After asking around, there was not a single piece of news about the border. Instead, all I could hear were scandals involving officials in the royal court and the major tribes of Northern Winter.
After struggling for a night, he decided to go to the palace early the next morning to report the matter to the Khan.
I don't know what tricks Beidong Khan Tuoba Kui used these days to coax the Queen of Beidong.
All the messy things in the court have been dealt with, and I have just had two days of free time.
Prepare to discuss who to send to continue attacking Beidong.
However, he did not expect to receive news early that morning that Huyan Heji, who was supposed to be fighting on the border, rushed back to the royal court and asked to see him.
Suddenly he had a very bad premonition and asked his servants to bring Huyan Heji up quickly.
Seeing Huyan Heji, who had lost two pounds and looked exhausted, the bad premonition became even stronger.
When Huyan Heji saw the Khan of Beidong, he knelt down and recounted the whole story of the border army.
Beidong Khan felt dizzy and couldn't believe what he heard.
"Heji, are you kidding? That's an army of over a hundred thousand, not a few thousand."
Huyan Heji was also full of doubts. He had fought for so many years and could not believe that an army of more than 100,000 could be wiped out in one day.
It would take several days to kill even one person, how could the entire army be wiped out in one day?
"Khan, it is Heji who is incompetent. Please punish me."
Tuoba Kui clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.
But I didn't feel any pain, and my head was buzzing.
Huyan Heji saw that Tuoba Kui was not in good condition and quickly asked someone to call a doctor.
He was afraid that the Khan of Beidong would do something bad at this time. If the Emperor of Dongxia had the guts to lead a large army directly to the royal court,
Coupled with the difficulties caused by the Xiongnu tribes, they were in danger during the northern winter.
Beidong Khan had more and more difficulty breathing, but fortunately the doctor arrived when he was about to suffocate.
After giving him a few injections, he finally recovered.
"You mean to say that the Dongxia army suddenly attacked the military camp, and you led 50,000 soldiers out to meet the enemy."
"After returning, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared."
Huyan Heji was unwilling to believe it, but that was the fact, so he could only nod his head reluctantly.
"Where are your fifty thousand soldiers?"
Huyan Heji was also very sad and told his guess and what he saw.
Beidong Khan was confused again.
The doctor had just finished giving Tuoba Kui an acupuncture injection and was waiting outside. He then came in and gave Tuoba Kui a few more injections.
"Khan, you shouldn't get too emotional. It's bad for your health."
Tuoba Kui didn't care about this at all and waved his hand to let the doctor go.
Reluctantly, he asked Huyan Heji again.
"Are you sure that when you return, my Beidong military camp will be filled with Dongxia soldiers?"
"Reporting to the Khan, I am sure. I have quietly circled outside the camp several times and am absolutely sure that our soldiers have either been killed or captured."
"Come here, bring the Third Prince here."
The servant received the Khan's order and brought the tightly bound Tuoba Jin over a quarter of an hour later.
Tuoba Jin's former handsome image is gone, and he is now so frail that he seems like he will fall down at the slightest gust of wind.
The servant threw Tuoba Jin to the ground very rudely.
Tuoba Kui glared at the two servants with great disapproval.
"You are so audacious! How dare you treat my own brother like this?"
Anyone present here who is not smart will naturally know why Tuoba Kui said that.
"It's my fault, please punish me, Khan."
"get out."
"Yes."
Tuoba Jin raised a bitter smile and looked at his brother sarcastically.
Although the two have the same father but different mothers, they are nearly twenty years apart in age.
The previous Khan of Northern Winter had a difficult time having children.
He slept with countless women in his life and only had three children.
Although Tuoba Jin was born to a Han Chinese, he was the youngest son of the previous Khan and was extremely favored.
He also inherited the Han bloodline, had a handsome appearance, and was very good at studying.
He was placed with high hopes by the previous Khan.
Unfortunately, he died before he could make arrangements for his youngest son's future when he had a son in his old age.
After the current Khan came to power, he began to target his half-brother openly and covertly.
Tuoba Jin was treated like this because he strongly opposed Beidong's attack on Dongxia.
This angered Tuoba Kui and he was directly imprisoned.
Tuoba Kui met those sarcastic eyes, feeling unhappy and frowning.
"Ajin, don't blame my brother. I had no choice."
Tuoba Jin sneered and laughed loudly with an unrestrained look.
"Brother Wang, what thankless task are you asking me to do this time? Just tell me straight away. How can I refuse my mother in your hands?"
Tuoba Kui disliked this younger brother very much. If his father Khan had not forced him to swear to ensure his brother's life of wealth and glory before his death, he would have long...
