Chapter 254: The Shiwei were destroyed and the Khitan surrendered
"Charge! Kill all the Shiwei!"
"Kill all the Shiwei!"
“Kill them all!”
"..."
The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, and the army rushed towards the enemy like a tide.
Batur and the leaders of various tribes were all dead. The Shiwei soldiers were suddenly leaderless and naturally unable to resist.
In just five or six minutes, the Shiwei army collapsed.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
In less than half an hour, corpses were scattered everywhere outside the royal court, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Ning Quan stood on the roof of the car, overlooking the scene, feeling very calm.
Ning Quan had no mercy on outsiders.
Those who are not of my race will be punished!
This sentence makes sense.
Ten minutes later, the army attacked the royal court of Shiwei.
In just half an hour, Wang Ting fell into Ning Quan's hands.
Afterwards, Ning Quan immediately ordered the killing of all the royal nobles, leaving no one alive, and all their property was looted.
Li Yuanba was left to guard the Shiwei, while Ning Quan and Li Ji led the army to attack the Khitan.
Ning Quan must seize the time and deal with the Khitan as quickly as possible, and then go to get food.
Due to the swift action, when Ning Quan's army entered the Khitan territory, the Khitan had just received the news of the defeat of the Shiwei.
"How could this happen? How did Shiwei lose so quickly?"
"That's an army of over 200,000!"
"What...what the hell is going on?"
The Khitan ministers were panicked.
When the Khitan leader Baturu heard the bad news, his face turned pale and he fell down on his chair.
He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
The Shiwei army didn't even hold out for a day before being wiped out by Ning Quan.
It was a pity that his 50,000 brave warriors were also killed in vain.
Now he has only 80,000 soldiers who can fight. How can they compete with Ning Quan's army of more than 100,000?
“Khan, what should we do?”
At this time, a minister nearby asked.
"What else can we do? Besides fighting to the death, what else can we do?"
Baturu shouted angrily.
"Khan, Ning Quan is so powerful, I'm afraid we are no match for him?" the minister said anxiously.
"So what do you mean? Surrender?"
Baturu turned and looked at the other person with cold eyes.
"Han, surrender is not a bad idea." The minister hesitated and said in a low voice.
"Bullshit! How can we Khitans surrender?"
Baturu was furious.
"Khan, please listen to me."
"If we don't surrender, Ning Quan will definitely kill us all. The Eastern Xiongnu and Shiwei are the best examples."
"The key is that we are no match for Ning Quan!"
The minister continued to persuade.
Hearing this, Baturu fell silent.
He understood that what the other party said was true. The power in his hands was far inferior to Ning Quan's, and surrender might not be a bad way out.
"What do you mean? Surrender too?"
Baturu raised his head and looked at the other ministers.
"Khan, Ning Quan is really too arrogant."
"We must take revenge! Otherwise, we will be sorry for our fallen warriors."
"Khan, I agree to surrender, otherwise Ning Quanzhen will kill us all."
"..."
For a while, various voices came one after another, but it was obvious that the voices of surrender were the majority.
"But even if you surrender, the other party must accept it."
Seeing this, Baturu sighed.
"Khan, we can send someone to test him. If that doesn't work, then we can fight him to the death."
"Okay, that's it."
Baturu nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Baturu immediately sent an envoy to meet Ning Quan.
......
Ning Quan was also very surprised when he learned that the Khitan envoy had come to visit, and he didn't understand why they came.
Later I realized that the other party wanted to surrender.
"Hahaha...surrender?"
Ning Quan suddenly burst into laughter.
The Khitan was a big tribe after all, and he had never expected that they would surrender now.
But surrender is a good thing, so Ning Quan certainly agreed.
However, how to surrender specifically and what to do after surrendering require a detailed discussion.
Ning Quan certainly would not dig a hole for himself and allow the Khitan to revive.
"Everyone, what do you mean?"
Ning Quan looked at the generals and asked.
"Your Highness, I believe we should destroy them all to save us from future trouble."
"Your Highness, surrender is not impossible, but the subsequent issues must be handled properly. The Khitan tribes must be dispersed and resettled. They cannot gather together again to avoid endless troubles."
"What I mean is that Baturu must abdicate, and it would be best if he could be relocated to Hexi and resettled. All his wealth must also be handed over."
"..."
The generals expressed their opinions one after another.
"Well, let's go see the messenger first and tell him our intentions."
"If he agrees, then we can save ourselves the trouble. If he doesn't agree, then we can destroy it completely."
"Li Jing, go talk to the envoy."
After thinking about it, Ning Quan gave the order.
"promise."
Li Jing responded and turned to meet the Khitan envoy.
After a while, Li Jing came back.
"Your Highness, the envoy said our conditions are too harsh and he cannot make the decision. He needs to go back and ask for instructions."
"Haha, then let him go back and ask for instructions, and we will continue our journey."
Ning Quan snorted coldly and gave the order.
He would not waste time on negotiations. Since the envoy could not make the decision, he would just attack the city directly.
"promise."
Li Jing responded and went down to convey the order.
Then the army continued to advance.
...........
"What? You want me to abdicate? And move to Hexi?"
"Do you want the tribes to be dispersed and resettled? Do you want this Khan to hand over all his wealth?"
When Baturu heard the conditions brought back by the envoy, he was furious.
He never expected that Ning Quan would put forward such harsh conditions. This was simply too much!
"Khan, we can't surrender like this." said a Khitan official.
"snort!"
"Do you think the Khan would like that?"
"But what can we do now?"
Baturu shouted coldly, scaring the important official so much that he quickly lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.
"Wait until he arrives, and the Khan will speak to him in person."
After a moment, Baturu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and spoke calmly.
Although he was very angry, he had to force himself to calm down.
Because Ning Quan was too powerful, he had no chance of winning at all.
Now he could only pray that the conditions would be relaxed, so that at least some of the accumulated wealth could be left to him.
.........
Five days later, Ning Quan's army arrived at the Khitan royal court.
On the one hand, Baturu assembled a large army to fight, and on the other hand, he went out of the city in person to meet Ning Quan.
Inside the camp, Ning Quan looked at Baturu with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Ning Quan didn't expect that Baturu would dare to run to him alone. He was really brave.
"Have you agreed to all the conditions proposed by this prince?"
Ning Quan went straight to the point.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, your conditions are indeed a bit too much. I hope we can renegotiate them." Baturu said immediately.
