Chapter 1690: Revenge
With Batumonk's call, a burly man came out and bowed to the ground with a cold expression: "Great Khan."
Batumonk looked at everyone with a deep look before saying to Arutu: "From now on, you will protect me, everyone, no matter who he is, if you dare to have any unfaithful intentions, kill him immediately."
"Yes." Arutu responded without hesitation.
This Arutu is the leader of the Golden Tent Guard of Batumonk and is also the number one warrior of the Tatar tribe. He has always been loyal to Batumonk.
After Batumonk said that, he was extremely tired and said, "Tuoba, go, if you dare not pick up the sword and your bow and arrow to duel with the Han people, then with your sincerity, I will wait for Qiqige here, wait for Qiqige to come..."
As he said that, he had closed his eyes and his face was still painful. It was not easy to make this decision, but he had made up his mind and refused to change it.
Others looked at Batumonk in silence, some sighed, and some were resentful.
However, Arutu looked at everyone with murderous intent. Batumonk was able to restrain his subordinates because of the loyalty of the Golden Tent Guard.
The Golden Tent Guard was a carefully selected warrior from various tribes, with a size of thousands of people, enough to make ten. When everyone came into contact with Alutu's horrifying gaze, they did not dare to say anything more, so they said goodbye.
When everyone left, Batumonk opened his eyes again, looking at the dome of the golden tent, he suddenly felt a heroic feeling. He knew very well that what he had made was the most correct choice. At this time, no one could save Tatar except Qiqige.
Qiqige is his daughter. In any case, it at least guaranteed the rule of the Golden Family over the Tatars. Qiqige is Ye Chunqiu's woman. In a sense, she just accepted Ye Chunqiu's rule in disguise. Although she was relying on others, she had a better ending than the Huns and Turks.
Since we know that no matter how hard we try, we cannot defeat the Han army, we should rather survive humiliatingly than waiting for tragic destruction, so that the Tatars can still have the opportunity to continue.
He even knew that many Tatars had regarded him as a coward in their hearts at this time, because they were unwilling to cry until the last moment. Now they felt that they could still escape to the depths of the desert, but they did not imagine, what if they did in a few years? When the Han people penetrated into the desert, where would they escape?
There is no choice. For Batumonk, he just made a choice earlier to avoid more sacrifices. As for the right and wrong of others, then let them talk about it.
Batumonk, who was lying here, felt the passing of life. He suddenly realized that he was really old and had experienced this great defeat. This feeling became more obvious. He knew that he was dead for a while and had a firm thought in his heart that he must hold on. No matter what, he must hold on, wait for Qiqige... Wait until Qiqige comes...
Although this daughter was once the jewel in her hand, but ambition like Batumonk and countless children may not really regard her as her heart. But now, he knows that Qiqige is his only hope.
After seeing off the Khans, Arutu silently opened the curtain, walked in, and stood quietly on the side of Batumonk's bed.
He pressed the knife with a expressionless face.
Batumonk said with difficulty: "Have Tuoba set out?"
"Khan, Jinon is ready to set off."
Batumonk sighed quietly, but was choked and speechless.

It was still a mess here in Qinglong. Suddenly, such a huge change happened, so that everyone began to be confused.
The entire Qinglong was shrouded in a wail, and almost everyone's expression was dead. Losing the new army and the Duke of Zhenguo was a death sentence. No one knew what they might face next.
But the emperor was in charge and seemed to be interested in the battle of Qinglong, which finally gave people some hope.
Today's son is definitely not an ordinary king. He is very familiar with many shepherds. After learning that the emperor recruits soldiers and horses, many shepherds roar. Zhu Houzhao also summoned his brothers and began to make a plan for the decisive battle.
To a certain extent, the herdsmen have the courage to defend their pastures, and they have also experienced conflicts with the Tatars. Although they knew that this time, the Tatars were hundreds of thousands, covering the clouds and the sun, they still did not want to give up.
Zhu Houzhao gave them confidence, because since the emperor was here, the continuous army within the pass would come here to rush for help, so that after experiencing the initial panic, the entire Qinglong began to become united in the same hatred.
Revenge for Zhenguo Gong is a reason why the king and ministers and ordinary herdsmen have become slogans. Tens of thousands of herdsmen gathered together, and reinforcements from Shanhaiguan are about to arrive. In addition, news should be available in various border towns soon.
This is a decisive battle!
Zhu Houzhao has been blaming himself for the past few days, but he has also been energetic. He has to fight to the death, thinking about it. Even if he bet on all the capital, they will fight for the last breath to avenge his good brother.
He collected maps everywhere like crazy, wrote and painted on the map like crazy, and formulated various possible tactics.
Fortunately, there are more than 2,000 new troops here in Qinglong, and the fortifications are ready-made. So the only way is to let the new troops block the front and the cavalry on both wings strike their flanks.
When he looked at the map, his eyes always fell unconsciously towards the entrance of the town, and then the corners of his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.
At the beginning, two people were staring at the map, quarreling and laughing, but now, he is the only one left, no one dares to boldly point out his mistakes, and no one dares to quarrel with him because of his persistence. Now, all the responsibilities are on Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were already red. In fact, he did not have enough confidence in this upcoming battle. Although he always looked like he was the best in the world, no one knew better than Zhu Houzhao what the Tatar cavalry meant by hundreds of thousands.
