Chapter 637 Her Majesty the Queen
The Shache people were already desperate, but at this moment, Jiang Hao gave them a glimmer of hope. How do you think they will choose.
King Shache was frightened. He looked at the ministers and generals around him, feeling that these people looked at him with malicious intent.
"Go back to the palace."
The king immediately rushed back to the palace with his guards, and as soon as he got back to the palace, he immediately ordered the palace gates to be closed and no one was allowed to enter.
The king hid himself,
In other words, I became a turtle with a shrinking head.
The officials and the generals looked at each other, what to do next, in fact, the current situation has become clear, the prime minister winked at one of his confidantes, the official immediately understood, stood up and said: "The king is not coming out, I think it is time to The prime minister presides over the overall situation."
The others saw that it was fine for someone to make up their minds, and they all agreed that the prime minister would preside over the current situation.
The prime minister sighed and said: "Everyone, if you want to survive, there is only one way to go. Let's surrender. Whoever opposes it can stand up now."
The situation has reached the current state, either surrender or death, no one objected, even the two kings' favored minister Ersha wisely hid behind and kept silent.
"In that case, let's open the city gate."
creak~~
As the gateposts were turning, there were several tooth-piercing sounds, and the heavy iron-clad gate was opened. The prime minister led a group of officials, generals and six thousand soldiers out of the city gate one by one, and stood outside the city. thrown together.
The prime minister walked up to Jiang Hao alone, stroked his chest and saluted, "I have met the chief protector, I am Yaqixin, the prime minister of Shache, and we are willing to surrender, please spare our lives."
Jiang Hao looked at Prime Minister Shache, got off his horse and walked closer, stretched out his hand to gently support him, and said, "I said before, as long as you hand over King Shache, no one else will be implicated. I am not a murderer."
The prime minister immediately felt relieved, as long as he could survive, "The king is in the palace at the moment, and the palace is closed, and there are more than a hundred loyal guards inside."
Jiang Hao nodded,
Struggling to the death, or unwilling to admit defeat, it doesn't matter, what kind of waves can more than a hundred people make.
"Hatch, Asgar, you are responsible for receiving the prisoners, Pang Xiong, bring the people from the Protectorate, break through the palace, and capture King Shache."
"promise!"
Everyone is ordered to act immediately,
Pang Xiong led five hundred people all the way to the outside of Shache's palace. The so-called palace is just a relatively large earthen building with four floors in total. Pang Xiong and others started a fight.
Although they are brave, but after all, the number is too small, whether it is the Han army or the horse bandits, they are all fierce and strong soldiers, and they can beat the Shache people one-on-one, let alone when the number is overwhelming. In the round, those guards were beheaded, King Shache and the royal family were captured and pressed in front of Jiang Hao.
King Shache looked up at Jiang Hao, his eyes were full of panic and fear. There were more than 20 people behind King Shache, and there were more than a dozen wives of King Shache, seven or eight princes and princesses, all of them were shocked , I don't know what fate they will have next.
"Great Guardian, please forgive us. I, Shache, am willing to offer all the gold, silver, cattle and sheep." King Shache pleaded to Jiang Hao.
The winner is king and has the right to take everything from the loser. This is the rule of the desert. At this time, King Shache is thinking about how to save his life.
At this time, Dilinaza next to Jiang Hao slowly lifted the veil, and looked at King Shache with a pair of bright eyes, "When you invaded my Kucha and killed my father, did you ever think that this day would come?"
King Shache looked at Di Linaza, momentarily at a loss for words.
Jiang Hao looked at Dina, who had a frosty face, and said, "This time I'm avenging you. Their lives are in your hands, and life and death are up to you."
Hearing what Jiang Hao said, King Shache turned his head to look at Dilinaza, but seeing Dilinaza gritted his teeth, his heart felt cold. For some reason, his knees softened and he knelt down, "Please Princess Dina spared me and my children, I am willing to hand over everything in Shache, including the land and the throne, and from now on, we will go far to the west and leave the Western Regions."
The king who was originally high above the ground suddenly lost all his majesty the moment he knelt down, and turned into a grizzled old man who just wanted to survive.
When King Shache knelt down, his concubines and children also knelt down.
Di Linaza looked at King Shache bitterly, gritted her teeth, and finally turned her head away, and said to Jiang Hao: "General, I know he is still useful to you, and their lives and deaths are still up to you to decide."
Jiang Hao glanced at Dina and smiled in his heart. After all, she is not a cruel woman, not bad.
"Let's imprison him first, and then decide what to do when we arrive in Kucha," Jiang Hao said.
The army entered the city and arranged military affairs. Jiang Hao was busy until late at night before he came to Shache Palace. Even though he was energetic, he still felt exhausted at this moment.
As soon as he entered the hall, Pang Xiong greeted him, approached Jiang Hao and said, "General, we found King Shache's treasury, which contains a lot of gold and silver. Do you want to go and have a look?"
treasure house,
Jiang Hao regained his energy all of a sudden,
Of course I'm going to see it.
When they came to the palace cellar, they opened a heavy iron door. Below it was a section of stone steps. Going down the steps, there was another iron door at the innermost point. Pang Xiong opened it again, pushed the door open, and the two walked away with torches. Entering, the stone room suddenly lit up.
This stone room is about one or two hundred square meters, and there are many wooden boxes piled up. Jiang Hao opened a wooden box, which was full of silver coins, and opened another one. It was a box of five baht coins. The king is too poor, right? .
When the next box was opened, there were piles of gold utensils, gold cups, gold pots, and countless gold coins underneath.
Jiang Hao checked all these boxes, and found 5 boxes of gold coins and gold utensils, 13 boxes of silver coins and utensils, 6 boxes of copper coins, more than a dozen boxes of silk, one box of jade bi, six or seven boxes of jade cups, utensils, vases, etc. , a dozen boxes of other valuable items.
These things are not priceless, but they are definitely a great wealth. Shache is also considered a big country, and it is an important country on the Silk Road, so it is naturally richer.
Jiang Hao thought for a while, and exited the treasure house with Pang Xiong. Pang Xiong handed over the key to Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao told him to continue to send people to guard it.
It was late at night, and Jiang Hao returned to the king's bedroom to go to bed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Dina sitting on the bench in the room.
"Hey, you haven't slept yet?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.
"I've been waiting for you, and I want to thank you personally." Dina stood up, came to Jiang Hao's side, and helped Jiang Hao take off his armor.
"Hehe, you're welcome, this is my previous promise." Jiang Hao opened his arms and let the princess take off his armor.
"No, my husband, I am just a woman. In fact, I am no different from other women. What my husband gave me was revenge for killing my father." Dina was very clear about her identity.
What kind of princess status is not worth much in the Western Regions. If it is because of her beauty, there are countless beautiful women in the Western Regions. Besides, if he wants to get him, why should he go to such trouble? Just push him down, and he has some strength to resist.
The armor was taken off, and Jiang Hao was only wearing white underwear. The princess stood in front of Jiang Hao and reached out to untie his hair. Because they had to raise their hands to reach the hair, the two were naturally very close to each other. Jiang Hao looked at the woman With a neck as smooth as a swan, she approached and smelled it lightly.
"what!"
Princess Dina let out a soft cry, shrinking her neck in fright.
"Lang Jun, after a long day of exhaustion, I asked someone to boil hot water, so why don't you go to bed after taking a bath?" Dina said.
"You help me rub my back." Jiang Hao took Princess Dina's hand and walked to the bathroom without any explanation.
Jiang Hao took off his shirt, revealing his well-proportioned muscles. Princess Dina's cheeks were hot with embarrassment. Seeing that Jiang Hao was about to take off his pants, she turned her head away in fright. Jiang Hao laughed and went out of the bath in his pants.
Soaking in hot water is comfortable and relieves fatigue. Lying on the edge of the pool, Princess Dina sat on the large stone platform and gently wiped Jiang Hao's back with a towel.
Jiang Hao folded his hands on the stone platform, resting his head on it, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, I will make you queen."
Princess Dina's hand that wiped Jiang Hao's back trembled.
"Queen, where is the queen?" Dina asked in surprise.
"Queen Shache, Shache robbed Kucha and re-established King Kucha. Now that I have Shache, I can re-establish Shache King." Jiang Hao said as a matter of course.
"But, why don't you become king yourself?" Dina asked.
"For people's hearts."
Jiang Hao said four words slowly.
Princess Dina thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand something, "Are you afraid that other people in the coalition army will be suspicious, suspecting that you organized the coalition army not to fight the Xiongnu, but for your own personal gain, to capture Shache and become king?"
Jiang Hao nodded, "Well, my identity is now the Great Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Han Dynasty. Only with this identity can I better maintain the coalition forces and talk to countries in the Western Regions. If I become the king of Shache, I will talk and do things again. Others The country will think that I am biased."
"But I'm going to marry you from now on, isn't it the same?" Dina asked.
"It's different. Sometimes, a name is greater than many real things." Jiang Hao said.
After Jiang Hao took a shower, Princess Dina ran away, and nothing happened that night.
the next day,
Jiang Hao summoned his subordinates, the princes of various countries and several former important ministers of Shache Kingdom, of course, excluding the original Erduan, those two guys are the favorite ministers of King Shache, not important ministers.
"Everyone, half a year ago, Shache invaded Kucha and killed the king of Kucha and made himself king. Now, Princess Dilinaza came to take revenge and captured Shache Kingdom. King Shache personally said that he was willing to hand over Shache , I am going to make Princess Dilinaza the Queen of Shache, and you will not object." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
It seems to be asking for opinions, but it is actually an announcement.
The affairs of the Shache Kingdom have little to do with other countries. Jiang Hao and them explained that the purpose of recapturing Kucha was to increase its strength. Before it was taken back, the army had more than doubled in size.
As for the king or queen of Shache, they don't care, oh, they don't care, oh, they don't dare to care if Jiang Hao is the guardian.
"Support! Resolutely support!" Pang Xiong was the first to raise his hands and cheered.
Others followed suit and raised their hands in agreement.
Several important ministers of the Shache Kingdom surrendered in the first place, so they naturally supported them even if they dared to object.
Dilinaza came out wearing a gorgeous gown, with a red scarf on her head and golden tassels around her, which looked extremely luxurious. Coupled with Dina's beautiful face, this queen looked like a goddess.
"I have seen Her Majesty Shache Queen." Others in the hall saluted together, which is also the etiquette that should be met when meeting the kings of other countries.
"Thank you everyone."
Di Linaza's eyes finally fell on Jiang Hao, her eyes were full of love.
Jiang Hao smiled at him.
After rectifying the military affairs, Shache Kingdom surrendered, Jiang Hao ordered the prime minister to persuade the soldiers to surrender. From now on, they will be the soldiers and horses of the Brake Queen.
Shache had a lot of soldiers and horses. Before the first battle in Yecheng, 2,000 prisoners were captured, and in the first battle in the desert, 3,000 prisoners were captured. After besieging Wangcheng, 6,000 surrendered, adding up to 11,000 people.
This time the reinforcements came with 10,000 Kucha soldiers, plus Jiang Hao's previous 10,000 coalition troops, now Jiang Hao has controlled 30,000 soldiers and horses, which is comparable in strength to King Youxian of the Huns.
However, his army is a coalition army, and the situation of all parties needs to be taken into account. This will test the ability of a commander even more. Jiang Hao is very busy these days. He has something to do from the moment he opens his eyes until late at night.
Princess Dina came to see Jiang Hao and found that Jiang Hao was still sorting out military affairs. She felt very distressed, "Mr. Wang, you have worked too hard."
Jiang Hao shook his head and said: "The situation of the coalition forces is complicated. It can be said that it is up to me alone to maintain them. In addition to the previous winning streak, they can be suppressed. But if there is a big problem, the coalition forces are likely to fall apart in an instant, so I can't make a mistake."
Even though Jiang Hao played very smoothly before, that was the result of his countless calculations, and he also used various magical means.
Jiang Hao knows that the current coalition forces have not been twisted into a single rope by him. In a war, the victory will naturally be triumphant. Once there is a defeat, they may not even have the ability to reorganize and counterattack. Ran.
"Lang Jun, is the next step going to attack Qiucha?" Dina asked.
"Well, Kucha must be taken, and then we have to face the Huns," Jiang Hao said.
