Han Khan

Chapter 102: The Khitan Khanate is completely destroyed
Just as Zhang Sheng was about to explain in detail to everyone, the scout he sent out came back with an important message:
As the Jinhan tribe arrived at Jinshan, it defeated the Guchuwuti tribe, the Jiluo tribe and the Yudujin Tatar tribe with its powerful strength, and successfully incorporated the Xidan tribe and the Hela tribe. Now, almost all the Naiman people have been annexed by the Jinhan tribe.

This news shocked many tribes near Jinshan.

The Ubili Naiman people in the northwest of the Golden Mountains, the upper reaches of the Ob and Yenisei rivers, and the Dubo people in the middle of the Sayan Mountains;
As for the Menggu Shiwei tribes in the north of Yanran Mountain, they were all filled with fear and worry after hearing the news.

These tribes began to strengthen their defenses to deal with the threat from the Jinhan tribe.

At this time, the entire prairie was in chaos. The Khitans on the east side of the prairie were becoming increasingly powerful. The Khitan leader, Abaoji of the Diela tribe, was 44 years old this year. Relying on his powerful military force, he had served as the Khitan Khan for many years.

He conquered the Xi, Ugu, and Dilie tribes in the north of Khitan, as well as the Jurchens east of the Xianbei Mountains.

He also launched attacks on Hedong and Youzhou at the same time, plundering a large number of people and wealth. Under his leadership, the Khitans became more united and powerful.

Just this year, he defeated and suppressed the rebellion of his brothers who forced him to re-elect Khan.

Because of the failure of the war in the Central Plains, Abaoji turned to attacking the Zubu Tatar tribes in the west and north of Khitan, the Shiwei tribes, and many Uighur tribes.

The Khitans conquered the eastern part of the prairie, and now have expanded their sphere of influence to the Langjuxu Mountain area in the central part of the prairie.

As a result, a large number of tribes, especially the Menggu Shiwei tribes and Tatar tribes who spoke the Donghu language, fled westward for survival, with the Khitans chasing them closely, and the entire grassland seemed to be in chaos.

With the arrival of the Jinhan tribe, the western part of the Mobei steppe began to fall into chaos.

In the chaotic situation, Zhang Sheng was more concerned about the situation near Jinshan.

The scouts reported that a major event had occurred in the Ubili tribe in the northwest of Jinshan, between the Ob River and the Irtysh River.

Baichaerdalahan, the leader of the Naiman people of the Ubili tribe, allied with Shulun Timur, the leader of the Dubo tribe to the north of the Jinhan tribe.

Yesterday, they raided the Kyrgyz tribe stationed near the Western Sayan Mountains, and killed Chief Akkadan, the half-brother of Kutlug Yar Khan, in the battle, and then plundered the Kyrgyz people and livestock.

Because the escape routes to the west and south were blocked by the Ubili and Dubo tribes, the large number of remaining Kyrgyz people, led by some chiefs, fled along the middle reaches of the Yenisei River, which was covered with swamps and forests.

It is really sad that the Khitan people, who once dominated the desert and were once powerful, completely withdrew from the grasslands around Jinshan.

In name, Akadan is also Zhang Sheng's uncle.

The Ubili and Dubo tribes, which had plundered the Khitan people, used their traditional custom of beheading with a cartwheel to wantonly slaughter Khitan men and children and raped the plundered Khitan women.

He also called on friends everywhere, concentrated the troops and people of various tribes, and prepared to conquer the Jinhan tribe in the Great Lakes Basin.

"What? Baichaer and Shulun Timur allowed their people to slaughter and rape the Khitan people at will?"

Koza and some of the guards who were of Khitan descent had their eyes instantly red when they heard this. They were filled with sadness like a river and anger that almost made them want to spit fire!
When they heard that their fellow tribesmen were killed, they were furious and felt like they were being abandoned after their own death. However, when they heard that the women of their own tribesmen were being raped, they became even more furious.

The Ubili and Dubo tribes seemed to be insulting and provoking the warriors of the Khitan tribe in the Jinhan tribe. Really, there is nothing more crazy than hearing or knowing that women of one's own tribe are being raped and killed by foreigners!!!

"what--"

"I'm going to kill them!"

"I'm going to cut these bastards into pieces!"

Beside Zhang Sheng were many guards of Khitan origin. At this moment, all of them had bloodshot eyes, gnashed teeth and roared in anger. Their eyes were bloodshot, their breathing was rapid and heavy, their fists were clenched, and their nails were deeply dug into their palms, as if they wanted to eat the people of the Ubili and Dubo tribes alive.

They were deeply saddened by the inhumane treatment of their compatriots, and were also filled with anger and hatred towards the atrocities of the two tribes.

Zhang Sheng sighed at this. Wars on the grassland are so barbaric and cruel.

No, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There is no such thing as a civilized war!"

Suddenly, Koza knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Sheng repeatedly, and even smashed a deep hole in the grass.

He said to Zhang Sheng in a pleading tone: "My Lord Special Agent, please save those poor Khitan people who have been plundered!
My Highness, you have half Khitan blood in your body, and the Khitans are your mother’s tribe!

Now the Khan's clan has all been wiped out, and Your Highness, you carry the Khan's blood. From now on, you are the leader of all the Kyrgyz, and they will also be Jin Han people.

Therefore, the actions of the Ubili and Dubo tribes are also a real humiliation to us, the Jinhan people.

Please have mercy on us and lead us to attack the barbaric Ubili and Dubo tribes to avenge our dead people."

After Koza finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily once again. The sound of his forehead hitting the ground made people feel pity.

Several guards behind Koza followed suit, knelt down and kowtowed, and then shouted in unison: "We beg His Highness Teqin, the Emperor of Jinhan, to show mercy and lead us to avenge the Ubili and Dubo tribes!"

They raised their heads, their faces filled with anger.

Zhang Sheng quickly helped Koza up and said:
"What are you doing? Get up! Are you doubting that I will let those bastards from the Ubili and Dubo tribes go? I know you are angry, and I am angry too. But we acted rashly without any preparation."

Zhang Sheng heard what Koza said that the demise of the Khan clan meant that the Khitan people temporarily lost their leader, and Zhang Sheng, who had the blood of the Aje clan, would be the leader of the Khitan people from then on. In other words, Zhang Sheng could incorporate the remaining Khitan people into the Jinhan tribe, and it would be reasonable and legal.

His expression became serious and steady, thinking secretly in his heart that he did not have too many emotional fluctuations about the death of his two strange uncles, but he knew that he had to avenge them. Because he came to Jinshan in the name of submitting to Kutlug Yar Khan.

When his two uncles died, he was actually relieved because it meant that he had the legitimate right to inherit the Khitan Khanate and become the new Khan. This was an important opportunity and also a responsibility he had to face.
