Chapter 517: The Royal Court of the Left Alliance
Downing asked, "What's your name?" ”
The maid was a little frightened and said, "I, my name is Hamm." ”
Downing nodded, "You should all thank Hamm for saving your lives!" Hamm, I will reward you! ”
When these subordinates heard this, they suddenly looked overjoyed, and just now they really thought that they were going to be killed.
The cavalry had already controlled the entire royal court, and the snow was blowing one after another, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was almost dark, and the pursuing cavalry gradually gathered to the royal court.
The leaders of the various tribes gathered in the royal court, but they did not bring any good news, they did not capture King Zuoxian, nor did they bring back King Zuoxian's head.
Moreover, no one came to surrender, are these tribal leaders of the Left Alliance so hard-boned?
Tang Ning sat on the throne of the royal court, frowned, and said: "According to the servants in the royal court, King Zuo Xian has already prepared a way to retreat, prepared the gold, silver and jewelry in advance, and once defeated, he will leave the grassland and go to the temple!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized that King Zuo Xian had already found a way to retreat, no wonder everyone didn't pursue him.
Immediately, a clan leader came out and said: "Childe, since King Zuo Xian is leaving the grassland and going to the temple, it must be going south, and I am willing to lead the troops to chase after me." ”
Many generals also came out to ask to lead troops to pursue, Tang Ning was very pleased: "Although it is snowing outside, we still have to give it a try, King Zuo Xian, a traitor, has committed such a great rebellious crime, if he is allowed to escape from the grassland and continue to live happily, it will be too cheap for him!" ”
Since King Zuo Xian planned to leave the grassland and go to the temple, it was impossible for him to take many people with him, at most one or two hundred people, after all, it was simply unrealistic to bring too many people in this thousands of miles.
Therefore, Tang Ning appointed four people, each with two thousand horsemen to pursue south from different directions in the snow overnight, hoping to catch up with King Zuo Xian, who wanted to escape from the grassland.
Without further ado, the four of them immediately gathered their soldiers and horses and left the royal court, and pursued south in the snow.
Tang Ning muttered: "These tribal leaders of the Left Alliance are all very backbone, and no one has come to surrender until now, only Tu Luo is alone, and he is a swindling surrender!" ”
Tu Luo's fraudulent surrender was indeed surprising, and they didn't suspect it at the beginning, they all felt that King Zuo Xian was at the end of his life, and it was normal for a tribal leader to come and surrender.
Sui didn't expect Tu Luo to surrender by fraud, the purpose was to lure them into an ambush. Fortunately, Gongzi led the troops cautiously, and only sent the cavalry on the left flank to pursue with all his might, otherwise the whole army would be ambushed, and the battle would be hanging.
Princess Haiya said angrily: "These tribes of the Left Alliance are really loyal to the traitor King Zuoxian, don't they think that they are also the people of the Old Khan King?" ”
"And Natu Luo, it is really unreasonable to deceive us into an ambush, thanks to my cousin who detected his conspiracy in advance and did not directly send a large army to pursue him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"And after the defeat of that guy was revealed, he still wanted to assassinate his cousin, but fortunately, his cousin had already arranged to kill them cleanly! However, it is too cheap to kill them with one sword, and he should really be cut with a thousand knives! ”
Nuo Ji came out and said: "Childe, princess, please calm your anger, I think most of the tribes in the Zuo Alliance were coerced and persecuted by King Zuo Xian and had no choice but to do it, and they have no objections. ”
"Now that the Left League has been defeated twice, and the whereabouts of King Zuo Xian are unknown, the tribesmen of the Left League are panicked, and it is normal for no one to come to surrender for a while."
"It's not that they don't have the intention of surrendering, it's just that they are worried that they will be punished by the prince and the princess! In two days, I believe they will come to the royal court to plead guiltily after they have figured it out. ”
Tang Ning listened and nodded, this is the same as what he thought, now that King Zuo Xian has been knocked to the dust, it would be strange if these clan leaders were still loyal to King Zuo Xian!
It's just that none of the leaders are coming now, they are all watching and waiting.
In fact, Tang Ning didn't think about killing all the clan leaders, which would cause all the tribes in the Left Alliance to be centrifuged.
Of course, none of those who participated in the bloody case of the Khan Court will definitely not survive, and as for the other tribes, they will have to be carefully screened.
If there is a tribe that is determined not to surrender, then Tang Ning will not be polite, just after the battle, he and Princess Haiya will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the herdsmen of those tribes are the best reward.
Tang Ning commanded in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, send cavalry to all tribes to give orders, and let the leaders of all tribes come to the royal court!" And, Noji, you'll take someone to raid the Hip-Pheon tribe tomorrow! ”
Since Tu Luo, the leader of the Xifeng tribe, is so loyal to King Zuoxian, and he surrendered at the cost of his own life, why do you keep the Xifeng tribe?
The leaders of the tribes had no objections, and Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "Although the cavalry of the Zuo Alliance has all been dispersed, and King Zuo Xian is nowhere to be found, all the tribes should not be careless, beware of the tribes loyal to King Zuo Xian who are not dead and come to sneak attack!" ”
"I also know that everyone is very tired from marching all the way and fighting another fierce battle, but after all, we are now in the royal court of the Left Alliance, everyone will stay up for a few more days, and the princess and I will not hesitate to reward you at that time!"
After this battle, Tangning completely established his prestige, and the clan leaders obeyed the order and dispersed.
I just finished a battle, and then some of them were busy, counting the soldiers and horses, treating the wounded, and setting up camp......
However, Tang Ning was at leisure, and finally had time to rest, roasting and drinking hot mare's milk wine, he felt so comfortable.
"It's getting heavier and heavier outside!" Princess Haiya walked in with a maid carrying hot beef and mutton, "In such weather, I don't know if I can catch the traitor King Zuoxian!" ”
Tang Ning shook his head a little and said: "This kind of weather has brought great difficulty to the pursuit of King Zuo Xian, to be honest, it is not very likely to catch up." ”
Princess Haiya also knew, so she was very anxious, Princess Haiya knelt next to Tang Ning, put the hot beef and mutton in front of Tang Ning, and poured him full of mare's milk wine, a little unwillingly: "When I think of King Zuo Xian doing such a big rebellious thing, but he can still leave the grassland and go to the temple to live a free life, I feel blocked in my heart!" ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Although King Zuo Xian still has a use value for the temple, the use value is not great, even if the temple takes him in, it will not value him much." ”
"He can be regarded as sending people to watch people's faces under the fence, where is he at ease? Besides, can we really let him go? Even if he was lucky enough to go to the temple, could he still stay on Orange Mountain for the rest of his life? ”
