【Chapter 793】Abdullatif surrendered

"Your Excellency the Governor of the White Army......"

When Xu Xingxia arrived in Asu, the Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullatif, had already taken a number of powerful ministers of the Yarkand Khanate, knelt on the ground outside the city, and solemnly welcomed the arrival of the white-clothed army. Behind them, about 50,000 Yarkand cavalry were also disarmed and waiting for the integration of the white-clothed army.

This time, Abdullatif did not play any tricks. The Yarkand cavalry that surrendered were all elite troops. In this respect, Abdullah himself is indeed determined to surrender. These 50,000 Yarkand cavalry are all his roots. Without these 50,000 Yarkand cavalry, he would be nothing. Idiots know that these 50,000 cavalry, falling into the hands of the White Army, will definitely become part of the White Army.

Originally, Xu Xingxia was going to give Abdullah a little bit of power. He's going to let this guy know something. Those who play tricks behind their backs will never end well. When Abdullain surrendered, there was indeed Abdullatif behind him. That Ma Heima has not appeared until now, and I don't know where he fled to. The intelligence department suspected that Ma Heima fled to the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions with part of the Turpan cavalry.

However, seeing that Abdullah Tifu had handed over all his weapons and left no one behind, Xu Xingxia had no need to embarrass him. For those who are superior, the army is the most crucial. Since Abdullatif has handed over the army, there is no need to pursue everything else. If you forcibly pursue the case, you may also attract the disgust of others.

After all, Abdullatif is also a small role model. Facing the same fate as him is the high-level of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions. If the white-clothed army severely punished Abdullatif, the officials of the three countries in the Western Regions would definitely feel very nervous. However, if other high-ranking members of the Yarkand Khanate are caught, the white-clothed army will make an example of them.

"Your Excellency Adu, get up." Xu Xingxia said gently.

Abdullatif's name was too long, so Xu Xingxia gave him an abbreviation, called Adu. In other words, this name sounds quite familiar. Isn't there a singer named Adu in later generations? I don't know if Abdullatif can sing? The men of the Western Regions are generally rough, and many of them can sing, which is not surprising.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Regarding the name Xu Xingxia gave himself, Abdullatifu didn't dare to say anything, obediently accepted it, and sincerely expressed his gratitude. After he stood up, he hurriedly led the way in front and led Xu Xingxia into the city hall of Azov City. He made up his mind to join the white-clothed army, so he naturally wanted to show great dedication and courtesy, so as to leave a good impression in front of Xu Xingxia. This is his way of preserving his life.

The city hall of Aso City is actually the original governor's residence. The Yarkand Khanate also had a governor in the city of Azov and a certain number of troops under his command. Of course, the power and strength of this governor are completely incomparable with Abdul Rayin, the governor of Turpan. The current governor of Aso-Az is actually a relative of Abdullatif. Abdullatif surrendered to the White Army, and he naturally surrendered with him.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is the seal of the Yarkand Kingdom......"

At the city hall of Azov, Abdullatifu stood up and handed over the seal representing the highest power to Xu Xingxia in an orderly manner. This is a rectangular jade seal carved using Hetian jade, with some very intricate patterns on it. This jade seal, for the past thirty years, has represented the supreme authority of the Yarkand Kingdom. But, now, it's invalidated. There is no use for anything other than a bit of collectible value.

In addition to handing over the jade seal, which represented power, Abdullatifu also presented Xu Xingxia with other ruling materials of the Yarkand Khanate. Including population, land area, city name, management personnel of each city, etc. This is the main thing about unconditional surrender. Handing over all the information means that the White Coats will take over Abdullatif's rule completely. The original Yarkand Khanate was divided into several regions and administered separately.

However, due to the loose rule of the Yarkand Khanate itself, the relevant data has not been checked and updated in detail, so the data provided by Abdullatif is actually very inaccurate. For example, in terms of population, there are less than 500,000 people. Obviously, this is not possible. On the side of the white army, it is impossible to take it seriously. If you want to get first-hand data, you have to make great efforts to investigate the internal affairs personnel of the White Army.

"Adu, where are the others?" Xu Xingxia asked meaningfully.

When Abdullatif surrendered, not all the Yarkand high-ranking people followed him to join the white-clothed army. According to intelligence, Abdullatif brought the surrendered white-coat army, mainly his relatives, and some of his henchmen.

In the original Yarkand Khanate, in addition to Abdullatif, there were also powerful ministers such as Abulun, Yaya, Zhuo, and Emin. They all have their own turf and army. However, none of them appeared in front of the White Army. Obviously, this is very abnormal. If they were not mistaken, they should have taken refuge in the Ottoman Empire. And the one who threaded the needle and thread in it is very likely to be that Ma Heima. This bastard is quite active.

"They don't know what to ......do," Abdullatif said with a wry smile, helplessly.

Obviously, he had already thought of the answer to Xu Xingxia's question. He clearly cut off his relationship with other people. In response to their decision, Abdullatif said he was not in a position to intervene. Everyone has their own aspirations, so they can only go with them. He made it clear that the other Yarkand high-level leaders had indeed taken refuge in the west.

"You don't want to put all your eggs in the same basket, do you? I guess you're still thinking about having a chance to meet again in the future, right? Xu Xingxia said quietly.

Abdullatif's face suddenly did not look good. Xu Xingxia's words just pierced him deep in his heart. Yes, the top echelons of Yarkand are separated into two groups, some of them defect to the white-clothed army, and some to the Ottoman Empire, which does have the flavor of sharing risks. Because, no one knows, the White Army or the Ottoman Empire, who will win the final battle. If they collectively take refuge in one side, they are likely to suffer a catastrophe and never turn over.

In fact, the Yarkand Khanate was indeed very inconsistent on the question of who to turn to. Some people think that the White Army will win in the end, and some people think that the Ottoman Empire will win in the end. Everyone quarreled endlessly, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, Abdullah simply made a decision to let them do it themselves, and to whom they would go to whomever they liked.

"We ...... Don't get me wrong......, Your Governor," said Abdullahtif. He wanted to defend himself a few words to alleviate his guilt, but found that he had no possibility of justifying himself at all. Because, in Xu Xingxia's eyes, this matter is simply covering up and stealing the bell, which is not worth mentioning. If he defends himself, he can only say more and more wrong, and the more he paints, the more he paints, the more he loses, and it is better to obediently bow his head and admit his mistakes.

Sure enough, Xu Xingxia snorted coldly in his nostrils, obviously dissatisfied with his defense. Do they really think that the supreme chairman of the White Army is a three-year-old child? Can you be blinded casually? You can imagine the little ninety-nine in your heart. If it weren't for the need to control the Western Regions for a long time, he would have sent Abdullatif to the king of Yama long ago. This guy knows at a glance that he is an opportunist.

Abdullatifu is more than thirty years older than Xu Xingxia, and in front of this young man, he is like a quail, and his heart is raised to his throat. It is estimated that even he himself does not understand why he is so afraid of Xu Xingxia. He had never felt like this before. After being snorted by Xu Xingxia, he felt that cold sweat was constantly flowing down his back, which was really embarrassing.

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "It's okay, I'll let Gao Jie deal with them." ”

As soon as Abdullatif heard this, cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

It's also funny to say that what Abdullatifu is most afraid of is not Xu Xingxia, but Gao Jie. Now, as long as he hears Gao Jie's name, he can't help but tremble his legs. There is no way, the appearance of Gao Jie, a evil star, really made the people of the entire Western Regions feel extremely frightened. When Xu Xingxia mentioned this, he secretly congratulated himself that he was fortunate to have taken refuge in the white-clothed army, otherwise, he would have to face the terrifying Gao Jie, but he was afraid that life would be better than death.

Xu Xingxia, as the supreme leader of the White Army, could not order a large-scale killing for the sake of the image of the White Army. Even if he really thinks so in his heart, he will definitely not do it himself. It's as if Xu Xingxia was angry that he Abdullatifu was playing tricks behind his back, and wanted to punish him, but he wouldn't show it publicly. This is the reason why Abdullah Tifu can still sit firmly in front of Xu Xingxia. This is the need for political struggle.

However, Gao Jie is completely different. This guy is just a commander, no matter what he does, others can only be helpless. Gao Jie was in charge of a simple military operation. And military action, in itself, is the best excuse for mass killing. If you don't kill a few people, is it still called a military operation? If something big happens, Xu Xingxia can announce in a high-profile manner that Gao Jie's brutal killing is just a personal act of the white-clothed army, and does not have a representative surname.
