Chapter 626 Old acquaintance
Dai Qin screamed in pain at that time, and did not care about fighting anymore. He instinctively stretched out his hand to pull out the dart. However, due to the severe pain in his wrist, it was difficult to control the dart. Instead of pulling out the dart, it became deeper and deeper.
Forbearance, the female general saw the opportunity and flew forward and slit Dai Qin's throat with a knife. The latter screamed and died unexpectedly.
As soon as Dai Qin died, Tara was captured again. The remaining Xi people had no fighting spirit and dispersed in an instant. By the time the main force of the army led by Guo Xun arrived at noon, the battle was basically over. In this battle, Luo Tianbao and others were
A great victory was achieved. After the war, the number of heads captured was no less than 2,000. As for the number of Xi people who surrendered and died in the rebellion, the number was several times that. It can be said that after this battle, the Xi people in Lingbei became the elite.
It was a total loss and it would be difficult to recover for several years.
Since the Xi people originally intended to carry out a large-scale attack this time, almost all the heads of various ministries gathered here. As a result, most of them were captured by the army. In addition to Tara, no less than fifty leaders and dignitaries of each ministry were captured alive, including
When Guo Xun and Luo Tianbao summoned her, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She didn't know what fate was waiting for her. Despite this, she tried her best to look calm on the outside.
After all, she is the daughter of the King of the North, and she doesn't want to embarrass her family in front of others.
Contrary to Haslan's expectations, Guo Xun, Luo Tianbao and others were very polite to her. Not only did they stand up and salute, they also gave her a chair to sit down and talk. Haslan looked to the left and right and saw that his personal bodyguard Sarina also
He was present, and his hands and feet were not tied, and he looked very natural, which made Haslam even more confused.
At this time, Guo Xun and Luo Tianbao explained the situation. It turned out that they learned from Sarina that the Haslan father and daughter were actually opposed to Tara colluding with the rebels to plot rebellion, but they were not strong enough to stop the latter, and the official army
This time they just wanted to quell the rebellion, and had no intention of annihilating the Xi people. They knew that King Aqi of the North was now difficult to govern. So they hoped that Haslan could stand up and manage the Xi people's ministries on their behalf? The court would fully support this, of course in exchange for Xi.
One must promise not to be an enemy of the imperial court again.
Haslam almost couldn't believe her ears at the time. Did she have a clear understanding of the current situation? Xiren's elite were almost all lost in this battle? Most of the top officials were also captured? In this situation, the official
If the army continues to attack, not to mention complete annihilation, it will at least make it difficult for the Xi people to gain a foothold in Lingbei? And it is extremely lenient to propose such conditions under such a situation? Of course, Haslan also understands that the army may want to focus their main energy on
Dealing with the rebels? He didn't want to spend too much time in Lingbei, but for the Xi people, this was undoubtedly a huge preferential treatment. Considering the interests of the Xi people and his family, Haslan immediately expressed his willingness to serve the court. To appease the people.
Make fun of all the tribes.
What Luo Tianbao and others want is Haslan's attitude. Even if she is asked to help persuade the heads of other captured Xi people, after being captured, most of these people think that there is only a dead end waiting for them? Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers are willing to open the net.
On the one hand, after all, most people are still greedy for life and afraid of death. Therefore, except for a few stubborn ones, the rest expressed their willingness to submit to the imperial court.
Afterwards, the government army asked Haslan to jointly issue a statement with the tribal leaders in the name of the Northern King Aqi, stating that Tara had colluded with the rebels, acted arbitrarily, and put all the Xi tribes in danger. Now he has been captured? In order to protect Xi
In order to benefit the interests of the people and ministries, these leaders recommended Haslam as the representative of Aqi to temporarily assume the authority of the King of the North. At the same time, they collectively pledged allegiance to the imperial court. From now on, any Xi people who collude with the rebels and attempt to cause rebellion will be regarded as public enemies of the Xi people.
, everyone found it and executed it, and this voice was quickly conveyed to all the Xi people in Lingbei through messengers and released prisoners.
In fact, during the years when Aqi was in power, Xi Ren's life was relatively stable, so most people were unwilling to intervene in the dispute between the court and the rebels. The previous move to mobilize the army was mainly due to Tara and some people who wanted to gain benefits from the war.
According to the wishes of the nobles, these people are now either dead or surrendered, and with this statement, most of the Xi tribes quickly responded to the statement, recognizing the status of the leaders of Haslan tribes, and at the same time reported to the court
Allegiance, some of the remaining tribes were still delaying and waiting for their own considerations, but no one had the courage and strength to stand up and be the second Tara, so soon the threat of the Xi people to the official army was initially lifted.
The rebels did originally gather 8,000 people to go north to support the Xi people, but they were delayed by snow and wind on the way. When they learned that the Xi people were defeated in Mount Haas and Tara was captured, they knew that the situation was over and they did not dare to continue going north.
, quickly withdrew to Yanyun and Yunzhous. As a result, the rebels' original intention to win over the Xi people to intercept the North Route Army in Lingbei was completely ruined.
Originally there were still many matters in Lingbei that had to be dealt with by the government and army, but after Guo, Luo and others discussed it, the government and army were traveling to defeat the rebels, not to pacify Lingbei, and they could not spend time here for a long time, so they finally agreed to stay here.
Li Bu and Gao Yulan commanded 5,000 officers and soldiers as representatives of the imperial court in Lingbei, assisting, or in other words monitoring, Haslan and others to control various ministries. In order to show their loyalty to the imperial court, Haslan specifically asked General Mobutai to
He led two thousand cavalry to follow the official army to conquer the Yanyun states. In fact, all the Xi people's elite troops were lost in the battle on Hassan Mountain. The combat effectiveness of these two thousand men was limited. Haslan's move was more of a gesture, but
Guo, Luo and others discussed that there was no need to refuse this kind offer. In addition, Xi Ren was indeed familiar with the situation in Lingbei and Yanyun Prefectures, and they could serve as a guide, so they agreed.
In this way, after the official and army arrangements were made, they continued to march according to the original plan. After the Battle of Haas Mountain, the official army's reputation in Lingbei was greatly enhanced. Not only the Xi people, but also the Ser people and other forces in Lingbei sent people to express their gratitude to the official army.
They were loyal and even provided troops and supplies, but the rebels simply fled and completely abandoned Lingbei. As a result, Luo Tianbao and the others were so unstoppable that they arrived at Shuanglong Pass, the northern gate of Yanzhou, earlier than expected.
This has long been an important passage from the inland to Lingbei, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Both the Ser people who were in their heyday and the Xi people a few years ago had no choice but to take advantage of this place, so Luo
, Guo and others were a little worried at first, wondering whether they could successfully capture this place, and even if they could capture it, how much would it cost. However, when Luo Tianbao sent someone to inquire about the local defender, he couldn't help being surprised. It turned out to be his old acquaintance.
, Ning Zeen’s nephew Ning Sishun, the Marquis of Changle.
It turned out that due to disagreements, Ning Zeen didn't like his nephew very much when he was still alive. He only gave him the title of Marquis of Changle without giving him real power. Later, Luo Tianbao and others made a big fuss in Xinjing, and Ning Zeen investigated it.
It was discovered that Ning Sishun had close contacts with Luo Tianbao and others. Although there was no evidence that Ning Sishun was involved in saving people, Ning Zeen still called the latter to reprimand him face to face. Fortunately, Ning Sishun was about to be punished.
