Chapter 506: Tears of Gratitude 0 Li Jinzhong
Daleha, who was leading the Turkic army to confront the Khitan army, would never have imagined that Prince Helu of the Five Warlike Tribes would be so crazy as to destroy him, the number one figure in the Turkic military.
As a veteran general who has held military power for many years, Daleha is the predecessor of countless military generals.
If he died, God knows what kind of chaos the Turkic army would be in.
At this moment, the Khitan army and the Turkic army were facing each other outside Guicheng Prefecture.
The large amount of food and livestock that had been looted from the Dulu tribe was decreasing rapidly every day. The officials in charge of logistics couldn't help but hide in their offices and cry as they looked at the dwindling life-saving food.
If these grains were saved, the Khitan people could live a few more months.
If they keep eating like this, it won’t be long before all the food that Sun Wanrong and his men have snatched back will be wasted.
The most important thing is that the health of the Supreme Khan Li Jinzhong is getting worse and worse.
I'm afraid that within two years my soul will pass away.
"I don't know what's going on with the Great Zhou. Is it possible that God really wants to destroy us Khitan?"
The granary keeper burst into tears and was not optimistic about the nation's future.
"Hey, don't be impatient."
A voice suddenly sounded, and an old face appeared in the sight of the granary guard.
The man who came was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in plain clothes. He was not wearing any armor or weapons, but the brilliance flashing in his eyes was not something that ordinary people could possess.
"We will get through this difficult time, even if I have to offer my head to the Great Zhou."
Li Jinzhong tried his best to calm people's hearts and then continued to move forward.
The two sides confronted each other, and every Khitan felt insecure.
There were many such scenes, and he had to comfort them personally.
Otherwise, if one is not careful, Khitan will completely collapse from within.
It was noon when a group of men came galloping in front of Li Jinzhong and his party and dismounted.
"Khan, good news!"
"Wang Xiaojie, the general of the Right Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has sent accurate news, saying that Li Cunxi, the governor of Henan Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has set off to the Turks to negotiate war between the two countries."
"The assistance from the Great Zhou will be temporarily transferred from several large states on the border, and various materials will be delivered to Guicheng State in the near future."
"His Majesty, the Emperor who firmly sits on the throne of Kyushu, has accepted us once again!"
This great news was like a pie falling from the sky, hitting Li Jinzhong hard in the face.
He was so happy that he almost fainted. His tense nerves relaxed and he slid to the ground and lay flat on the spot.
Several of his subordinates hurriedly helped him up and calmed him down, which brought him out of his great happiness.
He wiped away his tears of excitement, but asked another fatal question.
"I wonder if the Great Zhou Emperor only wants my head, or wants me to be brought to court and skinned alive?"
The messenger was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"Khan, what do you mean?"
Li Jinzhong was not a fool. He would never believe that Wu Zetian would give him supplies without asking for anything in return.
You know, just two months ago, the two countries were fighting each other fiercely, and they even killed Zhao Wenhui at the last minute.
Could it be that Wu Zetian was a kind-hearted woman who forgave them so easily?
The messenger reacted quickly and said:
"Your Majesty, Khan, according to legend, it was Li Cunxi, the governor of Henan Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jinzi Guanglu Doctor, the co-minister of Fengtai Luan Ge, and the prime minister, who argued with reason."
"You said in the court that we Khitans were originally loyal to the Great Zhou, but it was Zhao Wenhui who was extremely hateful. He did not provide relief when disaster struck, and even tried every way to humiliate you, which forced us to rebel and provoke a war between the two countries."
It doesn't matter whether this rumor is true or not.
What matters is whether anyone believes it.
Just like this moment.
Li Jinzhong and the Khitan leaders behind him were already in tears.
They really never thought that there was actually someone in this world who understood the helplessness of the Khitan people.
Li Cunxi, the prime minister of the Heavenly Kingdom, ignored the previous war and deep hatred between the two countries, and was not afraid of the intrigues and frame-ups of his colleagues.
In the court, he argued for these foreigners and successfully persuaded Wu Zetian to accept them back.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a grace of rebirth!
Li Jinzhong burst into tears, turned towards Chongzhou and bowed.
"On behalf of the Khitan Li Jinzhong, all the Khitan soldiers and civilians, as well as the deceased Sun Wanrong, we would like to thank Lord Li!"
This bow lasted for a long time. Li Jinzhong looked up with tearful eyes and thought he saw the dead Sun Wanrong in the dim light.
He walked slowly forward, intending to hold Sun Wanrong's hand, but he could only see Sun Wanrong's body moving farther and farther away from him, and they could no longer face the sunset hand in hand.
"Khan be careful."
A general flew forward and protected Li Jinzhong who was about to step on empty air, thus avoiding an unexpected disaster.
Li Jinzhong suddenly woke up and wiped the tears from his face.
"My soul is really going to return to the eternal heaven. I seem to see Wan Rong. He is standing far away, still looking the same as before, waving at me."
"I could see his lips moving, but I didn't know what he was saying. I missed him so much and I wanted to be there with him right away."
Li Jinzhong finally saw the road clearly and walked on with unsteady steps.
"The Great Zhou Emperor has been very kind to us Khitans, but I wonder what the attitude of the new governor of Yingzhou is towards us?"
The messenger followed carefully behind and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the new governor of Yingzhou is Su Honghui, deputy general of the Right Guard General Wang Xiaojie."
"Although he showed his prowess in the battle of Dongxiashi Valley and shot dead two of our brave generals, his attitude towards our Khitan was very different from that of Zhao Wenhui before."
"I have already heard that he is a gentle person with strict military discipline, and his attitude towards us is to ease the relationship between the two sides."
Li Jinzhong nodded. It would be great as long as the new governor of Yingzhou was not the same kind of person as the previous Zhao Wenhui.
They, the Khitan, no longer had the energy to wage a protracted war against the Great Zhou.
"One more thing, Your Majesty the Khan."
"What's the matter?"
"After Li Cunxi leads his team into the Turkic Empire and successfully negotiates peace with the Turkic Empire, he will come to our Khitan territory."
"I understand. Lord Li treated us like this. He must have important matters to discuss in Khitan. I must give him a good reception."
The sun was high in the sky, but the spring sunshine was not as warm as the summer sunshine. When it shone on Li Jinzhong at this moment, he only felt a warm feeling.
All the fatigue in the body was swept away, and the back, which was almost hunched, gradually straightened.
Like a mighty lion, he once again stood in this desolate area, stretching out his arms and making a gesture of embracing everything.
"May the Eternal Heaven bless you, may Wanrong bless you, may the soldiers who died in battle and the Khitan people who died of starvation bless you."
"Li Cunxi, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, helped those of us who were lucky enough to survive escape. From now on, all of us in Khitan will serve the Great Zhou Dynasty wholeheartedly and will never rebel again!"
