Chapter 442: Running neck and neck



"Over the past two years, thanks to Miss Wei's repeated help, otherwise things would never have gone so smoothly." Qi Xu said with great seriousness.

Shanyu and Qiulin Nanxing died one after another.

Solving the hidden dangers in the north has become a sure thing.

However, the credit for all this did not go to him, but to the gentle woman in front of him.

It is hard to imagine that it was this weak woman who was once trapped in a deep mansion who crossed the dangerous Yandu Gorge, visited the northwestern countries that no one had ever been to, brought back grain seeds with high per-acre yields, burned down the royal court of the Northern Barbarians, and saved people under the nose of the Northern Barbarian Chanyu...

Any one of these items alone is worth celebrating for a century.

If today's achievements were divided into ten parts, Miss Wei alone would account for seven or eight out of ten!

Qi Xu's gift was extremely sincere.

Not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of millions of people in Dayong.

"Go and retrieve the body." Outside the city wall, Youguduhou's troops had already left, and a few wild birds landed on the headless body.

He kept pecking at the flesh on the neck.

Qi Xu took a glance and gave orders.

Feng Ping couldn't help but say, "Qiu Linnanxing deserved to die. He killed so many innocent women in Dayong. He should be left to rot in the wilderness and be eaten by birds and beasts!"

Yu Shiyi, Yu Shisan and others who came with Wei Yunlan couldn't help but nod as well.

"In this case, it would be too easy for him and the people behind him." Qi Xu was certainly not so kind as to collect the body specifically for Qiu Lin Nanxing.

Instead of being eaten by birds and beasts, there is another better place for this corpse.

"We wiped out the group of secret guards from the capital. The Queen Mother hasn't received any news from the North for a long time. I think she must be getting impatient."

"The end of the year is approaching, and it would be bad to let her keep missing him. In this case, I will give her a big gift and let them reunite during the end of the year."

Qi Xu's voice was cold and silent.

Hearing this, Feng Ping and others around them all had their eyes light up.

wonderful!

This is really wonderful!

There is no better place for this body than the Cining Palace.

The Chanyu died.

The King of Youguli died while guarding the Chanyu, and the body of the King of Zuoguli was also found in a deep pit near the Tuoba tribe.

The eldest prince Huyan had his military power taken away from him and was imprisoned in the palace of the Huyan tribe when the Chanyu was still alive. As for the second prince Huyan, he was already a little dull, and with one hand missing, his martial arts skills were no longer as good as before, making him even less capable of being used.

The Huyan tribe, which once dominated the grassland, declined rapidly in a short period of time.

As a powerful tribe second only to the Huyan tribe, the leader of the Tuoba tribe wanted to replace the Huyan tribe and become the overlord of this vast grassland, but was resisted by many other tribes.

Even the cause of Chanyu's death was suspected to be related to the Tuoba tribe.

After all, the Chanyu's brother, King Zuoguli, died near the Tuoba tribe, and his body was burned beyond recognition. If it weren't for the fact that his finger bones were slightly different from those of others and he was wearing several accessories that could not be burned, it would have been impossible to identify him after being burned like that.

The death of King Zuoguli alone may not mean anything, but some people are still bringing up the fire that occurred in the Helian tribe last year.

At that time, the fire and poisonous scorpions almost endangered the safety of the Chanyu.

As everyone knows, the princess of the Helian tribe is the sister of the Tuoba leader. If the Tuoba leader intends to replace the Chanyu, it seems natural for the Helian tribe to do their part.

The Tuoba tribe suddenly became the target of public criticism.

The Tuoba leader, who had originally held the upper hand, instantly fell into a disadvantage in the fight for the position of Chanyu.

Not only did they not get much of the troops belonging to Huyan's tribe, but they also almost came to a fight with Wan Yi's tribe.

According to the northern barbarian tribes' consistent understanding of the Tuoba tribe, they thought that the Tuoba leader would fight against the tribes to the end and continue to fight.

What happened next surprised everyone.

I don’t know how Chief Tuoba came up with the idea, but after one night, he voluntarily gave up fighting with other tribes.

Not only did he give up the fight for the position of Chanyu, he also gave up the fight for the Huyan tribe's military strength and territory.

He only took away a part of the treasure looted from the royal family of the Huyan tribe, and then left the increasingly chaotic border with the Helian tribe.

The withdrawal of the Tuoba tribe did not reduce the contention among other tribes, but instead the disputes intensified.

At the time when the Northern Barbarians were in civil strife, the 50,000 northern garrison troops lurking in Lingmen Pass and the 5,000 troops under King You Qixu came out in full force.

In just three days, the Northern Barbarian army was defeated.

There were also two other guerrilla armies with over 10,000 people, which set out from Jianing Pass and Yucheng Pass on the east and west sides of Lingmen Pass, cutting off the food supplies of the Northern Barbarian army and making them unable to continue the war.

The Northern Barbarian Army was defeated step by step, and only less than half of the 60,000 cavalrymen remained.

From the day of the hostage exchange at Lingmen Pass to the day when the Northern Barbarians withdrew their troops and gave up half of the territory that once belonged to the Huyan tribe and was close to the border between the two countries, less than seven days had passed.

In this battle, Dayong achieved a one-sided victory.

Compared with the gains, the sacrifices are minimal.

Now, there are no traces of barbarians within fifty miles outside Lingmen Pass.

This part of the territory has been handed over to Dayong by the barbarians.

The northern barbarian tribes, which had not yet decided on the position of Chanyu, sent five leaders to sign a truce agreement with King You Qi Xu. This was different from the truce agreement that Emperor Xiaoming had signed after giving up his princess.

This time, the situation was completely reversed.

In order to get Dayong to withdraw its troops, the Northern Barbarians not only voluntarily gave up their territory, but also agreed to more than ten clauses, large and small.

These included 10,000 war horses, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and no prohibition on the Dayong merchant caravan from entering the Northern Barbarians.

The northern barbarians who once threatened the safety of the northern part of Dayong have completely become history.

Today, the Northern Barbarians have suffered heavy losses, and each tribe is acting independently, so they can no longer pose a threat to Dayong.

Qi Xu returned triumphantly.

In Beiguan City, the people living near Beiguan all gathered outside the city, braving the cold wind of the dead of winter to welcome the return of King You Qi Xu.

When the disciplined troops appeared before the people.

When the people saw the man in black sitting on the tall horse at the head, they all knelt on the ground.

If it wasn't unreasonable, I would even want to shout "Long live!"

Although he was not called "rebellion", in the hearts of all the people, the image of King You Qi Xu had already been much higher than that of Emperor Xiao Ming.

Compared to Emperor Xiaoming who did little, King You Qixu was the god who protected the people in their hearts.

He is the monarch they have been waiting for!

"Why is there a white horse following King You?"

The people did not dare to look the king in the face until King You called everyone to stand up. Then some people noticed that there was a white horse following the black horse that King You was riding.

The person sitting on the horse was actually a woman in a plain long dress.

The two horses are not running one in front and one behind, but side by side.
