Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 292: Cooking Tea by the Fire without a Husband

"Surrender to your adoptive father? Don't you know that the Heshuote tribe has become enemies with the Weiguo? If I surrender to the Weiguo, my whole family will die." Eqirtu Khan shook his head like a rattle.

"Who said that the Heshuote tribe and David were enemies? Your eldest uncle, Hanak Tushetu, and your two younger brothers, Bingtu Dalai Ubas and Maozilak, surrendered to David. Aren't they all fine? "Shu Ji urged.

"They can't compare with me. When your adoptive father married you to me, he hoped to stabilize Heshuote and concentrate on dealing with the Junggars. But I still joined the Junggars' camp. He hates me in his heart. If I Surrender him, and the whole family will be dead!" Oqiltu Khan felt that he had failed his father-in-law, and was afraid that Sultan would not let him go after he surrendered.

"Don't worry, my adoptive father is a person who values ​​friendship and will not kill you even for the sake of my mother-in-law and me. Not only will he not kill you, but he will also give you a large amount of pasture and livestock. But the minister of Ili Heshuote Department You definitely can’t take the position.”

After hearing this, Oqiltu Khan let out a long breath and could no longer hold the riding whip of the Yili Heshuote Department. The imperial hegemony that he had pursued with all his strength in the first half of his life suddenly became a thing of the past. How can you be willing to do this? But at least he saved his life. But, can we really save our lives?
He thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, it has been a struggle for the world, and it is extremely difficult for losers to end well. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao without firing a single shot, but he was still killed by Cao Cao. I'm afraid that Liu Cong will end up like him after he surrenders. Same fate." At this time, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was extremely popular. Oqiltu was familiar with this book and often compared himself to Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. He easily cited Liu Cong as an example.

"Pfft", Shuji was happy, "Most of the stories in "The Romance" were made up by the author and are not true. I heard that Liu Cong lived well after he surrendered to Cao Cao. He was first named the governor of Qingzhou and later moved to admonish him. The doctor was given the title of marquis. But because of his mediocre talent, there is no record in the history books."

"Since there is no record in the history books, how do you know that he is alive and well?" Because he was in a bad mood, Oqiltu Khan started to quarrel with his wife.

"When Cao Cao attacked Sun Quan and saw the Wu army being reorganized, he sighed and said: 'I should have a son like Sun Zhongmou, like Liu Jingsheng's son, with pig ears.' He despised him. Since he looked down on Liu Cong and felt that he was not a threat, why bother to kill him?"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Eqirtu Khan thought for a while and suddenly became gloomy, "But I'm not Liu Cong!"

That means Liu Cong was cowardly and incompetent and posed no threat, so Cao Cao didn't bother to kill him. But your husband and I are different. He is a great hero who stands upright and poses a great threat. If I surrender, I'm afraid Sultan will not trust me and my life will be in danger. The most important thing for people is to have self-awareness, but some people just don't have it. A person who calls himself a hero will never have the courage to admit that he is not a hero.

Princess Shuji hesitated. Telling the truth was too hurtful, and she didn't want to hurt her husband; but if she didn't tell the truth, her husband's indecisive character would not make up his mind to surrender! After all, life is more important than face, so he chose to tell the truth.

"When I was with my father, the emperor, and my concubine in the past, my father often ordered people to light a stove in the grid, put out cakes, and make a pot of good tea. Then I would sit around the stove with my mother and concubine, sipping tea and eating cakes. While talking about the heroes of the world."

"Oh, talking about heroes while having tea by the stove? Tell me, who did your adoptive father mention?" Ozil Tuhan became interested.

"The four most mentioned by my father are Huang Taiji, Dorgon, National Preceptor Khan, and Batur Hutaiji."

"anything else?"

"Then the two great bandits of the father-in-law, Bagas Khan, Dalai Taishi, Orlek, Kundulun Ubashi, Zhasak Tuhan Subadi, Zangba Khan, Chotu Khan, and the Han people Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong nine people."

"anything else?"

"There are also Yarkand Shadi and Zhuo, chieftain Baili, Shukur Daiqing, the son of Orlak, Tushetu Khan Gonbu, Chechen Khan Shuolei, and Tohuite tribe Ombu Erde Nihuntaiji, your brother Dayan Erzilhan, the two great monks of Gelug and Qiang Zuo Nanqunpei, Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi, the son of Daleitaishi, and Dulbert's Ale Darhun Taiji, Kazakh Yangir Khan, and the four-legged dragon Ngawang Namgyal of Bhutan.”

"What else?" "No more."

"No more?" Oqiltu Khan asked with difficulty: "Didn't your adoptive father mention me?"

Princess Shuji gritted her teeth and spit out four words: "Never."

"Never!" Erqiltu Khan roared in a low voice.

These four words were like a heavy hammer, hitting him in the heart! He calls himself a hero and dreams of restoring the glory of his father's generation. He organizes his army and develops military skills just to join the chess game for the world and become a chess player on an equal footing with Dorgon and Sultan. Unexpectedly, Suletan never mentioned himself, which also meant that in the eyes of the other party, he was not even qualified to be a chess piece. How can we not make a hero who thinks highly of himself grief-stricken?
"Don't be sad. It's a good thing that my father never mentioned you. It means that he has never regarded you as a threatening opponent. If you surrender, your life will not be in danger," Shuji gently persuaded.

"Yes, a good thing! A great thing! Hahaha~" Erqiltu Khan laughed wildly and laughed miserably, staggering towards his sleeping tent.

At the foot of Wushan Mountain in Halketa, the civil and military guards were having a military meeting.

"Your Majesty, Oqiltu Khan is very likely to escape from Ili after his defeat, so he can quickly launch a large army to pursue him," Liu Haogu suggested.

"There are only two directions for the Heshuote people to flee, either to the west through Kazakhstan and defect to the Turgut tribe, or to the northeast and to the Junggar tribe. I think the possibility of going west is greater," Xue Zongzhou also said.

"This slave is willing to be the vanguard and vows to go to Ili and cut off the head of Eqiltu Khan." Su He, the fierce general, loudly begged for his life.

"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here and stand still." Sultan refused.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, if you let the tiger return to the mountains, there will be endless troubles!" Everyone urged.

"Let the tiger return to the mountain? Haha, what kind of tiger is Oqiltu? He can't even be considered a wolf. This man has always had no opinion. Seeing that I stand still, he must be lucky and may not escape. If I send troops to chase him, he may escape. "Sultan smiled slightly and said to his confidant Hada: "Immediately send people to Ili to spread rumors that the Bhutanese army has invaded Uszang and that I will return to Lhasa to defend against the enemy."

"Yes!"

Suletan smiled at Su He and Mandu Latu again and said: "Su He led 8,000 light cavalry around to the north bank of the Hashi River in the northeast of Ili to set up defenses to prevent them from escaping to Junggar; Mandu Latu led 8,000 light cavalry around to To the west of Ili, capture Alimali in the northwest of Ili to prevent them from escaping to Kazakhstan."

"Slave takes orders!"

After hearing this arrangement, everyone was convinced. On the surface, the emperor stood still, but secretly he laid a dragnet. This trick is hard to get, cruel and spicy, powerful and powerful!
