"First, we must organize all of our remaining troops and fight Tian Yu to the death."

"No." Batu objected immediately.

"We have no chance of winning."

Bayar looked at everyone, emphasizing each word.

"Then we have no choice but to... surrender!"

When the last two words were uttered, everyone's face showed a painful and conflicted look.

"Is this the only way?"

"Yes, this is the best way."

Bayar said solemnly: "There is a saying in Tianyu that goes, 'If you keep the green mountains, you will never be short of firewood.' This battle has brought heavy damage to our Beihu, and it is not possible to recover in a short time. Instead of waiting for Tianyu to lead troops to attack us, hurt our people, and rob our war horses, it is better for us to surrender to them first. At least, we can protect our families and people."

The emperor of Tianyu was a benevolent monarch.

...

...

Everything he did was truly for the sake of the lives of the common people. If he had taken over Beihu, the people of Beihu would still have a glimmer of hope.

Precisely because everyone could think of this, no one dared to speak up to refute Bayar's words.

"Damn Husile!"

Someone slammed his fist hard on the table.

Cursing with gnashing teeth.

"We can't blame him entirely for this. Although he was the one who proposed the attack on Liaoyuan Pass and led the troops to carry it out, if we didn't agree with his actions, this battle wouldn't have been won."

They all have selfish motives.

No one wants to live in this barren land.

They also want to have a life of plenty and not have to worry about food and clothing.

Since Husile represented the thoughts of all of them, started this war, fell into Tianyu's trap, and caused so many Beihu warriors to die in Tianyu, then this was destiny.

The fate of the Northern Hu...is over!

Bayar closed his eyes in despair.

Some even shed silent tears.

"I'm going to negotiate with the emperor of Tianyu."

Engel's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and looked forbearing.

Batu also said, "I'll go too."

"I'm going too."

"I'm going too."

"I'm going too."

More and more people are responding.

They represent their respective tribes and all the people of Beihu.

Bayar shook his head.

"No, I'll go. Batu and I will go together."

"Ahaha, no."

Engel was not happy that his brother would abandon him at such a critical moment. He clenched his fists and pressed forward with his burly figure.

"You must take me."

At such a critical juncture, going to Tianyu alone is an extremely dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Engel would not let Bayar go alone.

He stared at Batu fiercely.

"You stay, I'll go with Aha."

Before Batu could say anything, Bayar rejected Engel's proposal neatly.

"You must listen to me. Don't act rashly before I come back."

“Aha!”

"Now, you don't even listen to me?"

Bayar rarely got angry, and Engel was frightened by his anger and forgot to speak for a moment.

"Batu, take the token and count all the remaining cattle, sheep and war horses. We will set off for Tianyu in an hour."

"yes."

Batu clenched his empty fist and pressed it to his chest.

Xiao Yuqi's prediction was correct.

As expected, the remaining khans of the Northern Hu arrived in Zhu County at dusk the next day and handed him a letter of surrender.

There were only two people on two horses in the group, and they did not carry any weapons or soldiers.

Full of sincerity.

And Xiao Yuqi was now in the County Magistrate's Mansion in Zhu County, quietly looking at the two Khans standing below.

"Bayaer Khan, Batu Khan, I have long heard of your great names."

Xiao Yuqi had a smile on his face and a distant attitude.

Carrying the full pressure of a superior and wearing a black five-clawed dragon robe, no one dared to underestimate this young emperor.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the entire Northern Hu, we submit this letter of surrender. Husile Khan and all the remaining cattle, sheep, war horses, and mineral veins on our grassland are our sincerity. Please take a look."

Bayar and Batu knelt down together.

Xiao Yuqi received their supreme courtesy.

Chen Gang stepped forward and took the letter of surrender from their hands.

On it, the names of all the remaining cattle, sheep and war horses of Beihu were also carefully attached. Not only that, there were also ownership letters for seven or eight mineral veins of Beihu.

However, the letter of surrender and all the accompanying official documents were not signed or sealed.

Xiao Yuqi just glanced at those things briefly, then put the pile of documents on the table beside him without looking at them again.

"The two Khans didn't bring what I wanted?"

Bayar put his fist to his chest, knelt down and nodded to Xiao Yuqi.

"Your Majesty, General Duan died four years ago. How can we hand over a man who has already died?"

"Four years ago, Husile had not yet made his mark in the Northern Hu, right? If General Duan really died on the battlefield four years ago, then why did Husile have General Duan's personal belongings in his hands?"

Bayar and Batu looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, although Husile is the old Khan's most beloved youngest son, his mother is from Tianyu. He grew up with his mother in Tianyu since he was a child. He is not a child who grew up on the Northern Hu grassland. We don't know much about him."

Xiao Yuqi was not surprised by this matter.

The people in Tianji Tower had already found out about this matter.

However, they have not yet found out which family in Tianyu Husile’s mother came from.

"When did Husile return to Beihu?"

Bayar replied: "If you count carefully, it has been more than three years."

More than three years?

Xiao Yuqi calculated the time.

At that time, it should have been shortly after Tianyu fought with the old Khan of Beihu at Liaoyuan Pass.

Tianyu lost its outstanding general Duan Hengzhi and is now recuperating and licking its wounds.

Xiao Yuqi seemed to understand something suddenly.

A flash of inspiration came to me.

It was too unbelievable, so he dared not think about it too deeply.

"Please allow me to study the letter of surrender carefully. I have already arranged accommodation for the two Khans. Chen Gang, take them there."

Xiao Yuqi got up and left.

Bayar and Batu were left behind and followed Chen Gang to the wing room of the county magistrate's mansion.

Xiao Yuqi's footsteps became faster and faster, and with a bang, he kicked open the door of the woodshed.

Husile was half leaning on a pile of firewood to rest, his hands and feet were tied, and his face did not look good.

I don’t know if it’s because of the strong electric current, but his body is still numb.

The loud noise woke him up.

The next second after Husile opened his eyes, Xiao Yuqi's big hand grabbed his collar.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Husile pursed his lips and showed no intention of answering.

"Tell me quickly, where did you get that token?"

Xiao Yuqi stared at him intently, his gaze seemed to penetrate him.
