Surrender! All the 100,000 elite soldiers had returned to the King of Shu!
After saying that, Li Ke did not say anything else. He just quietly waited for Tuoba Chici's decision.
Tuoba Chici was a smart person. A smart person did not need to talk too much nonsense. As long as he explained the path ahead and the advantages and disadvantages clearly, Li Ke believed that Tuoba Chici would naturally make a choice.
Previously, Li Ke had gone to Lizhou to deal with the Dangxiang Clan. He needed to make sure that what happened in history would happen accurately.
Reality proved that some important events would still happen.
And the Dangxiang clan's rebellion and betrayal of the Great Tang to join Tuyuhun would also occur.
Because they wanted to rebel, it was easier to persuade them to surrender.
Thus, Li Ke seized the opportunity to come here on the eve of the Dangxiang clan's betrayal.
The bodies of the Tanguts were similar to those of the Turks. They were extremely muscular, so once they entered the battlefield, they would definitely become elite soldiers.
Therefore, Li Ke had to obtain this elite troop that could immediately go to the battlefield no matter what.
Although he could choose soldiers and generals from the refugees, they were only new recruits. They still needed training, blood, and a series of things to become elites.
If they could delay the uprising for a period of time, that would naturally be the best. They could wait for the recruits to grow up.
But Li Ke was worried that the Imperial Court would not allow him to slowly grow.
Therefore, he had to take the Dangxiang clan with him no matter what. This would be his strongest secret weapon.
Time passed just like that.
The candlelight danced in the room, and the flames crackled.
The Dangxiang clansmen gripped their weapons tightly and looked at Li Ke and Tuoba Chici warily.
No matter what decision Tuoba Chici made, they would support him unconditionally. If Tuoba Chici chose to kill Li Ke and proceed to Tuyuhun according to the plan, they would definitely take action immediately.
Therefore, everything was now in the hands of Tuoba Chici.
"Can you guarantee that our Dangxiang clan will really be able to pass down our bloodline and let our clansmen live and work in peace and contentment if we join you?”Tuoba Chici suddenly asked.
He looked straight at Li Ke. Li Ke nodded without hesitation."Yes!"
"Then can you guarantee that you will be the final victor when you go against the Imperial Court? After all, that was the imperial court, the entire world!”Tuoba Yu spoke again.
His gaze was like a sharp knife that shot straight at Li Ke.
As for Li Ke, he was still as confident as before. He said,"Yes!"
There was not a single extra word or explanation. His answer was only the word " yes."
This was his endless confidence in himself.
And this confidence was contagious.
At this moment, Tuoba Chici let out a long breath. He held his saber and suddenly took a step toward Li Ke. The rest of the clan members also took a step toward Li Ke with cold expressions.
And then…
Clang!
With a clang, Tuoba Chici suddenly dropped the steel knife in his hand and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Ke. He knocked his left chest with his right hand and said,""The Dangxiang clan is willing to serve Your Highness as a pawn. We only hope that Your Highness can let our clansmen have a happy life and let our bloodline be passed down forever!”
Seeing this, the other clansmen also threw down their weapons and returned to Li Ke on one knee. They said in unison,"I'm willing to be Your Highness's pawn!"
His voice was loud and clear, and it was not stopped!
Li Ke listened to their voices and looked at their kneeling expressions. He also let out a soft sigh of relief.
He knew that the Dangxiang clan was loyal!
Li Ke quickly stepped forward and helped Tuoba Chici up.""I will do my best to fulfill my promise. In the future…I will rely on everyone's help.”
"It is our honor to serve Your Majesty.”Tuoba Chici had the resolve to surrender and his words were no longer imposing.
Seeing this, Li Ke was naturally more satisfied with Tuoba Chici's change.
He knew that Tuoba Chici would only do this if he truly acknowledged him.
An hour later.
Everyone finally became familiar with each other. Xue Rengui and the others were also familiar with Tuoba Chici and the others. Everyone drank and ate happily.
At this moment, Tuoba Chici said," Your Highness, there are 400,000 Dangxiang clansmen in total. Among them, there are 100,000 young men who can help you expand your territory. However, after we were defeated, our weapons were confiscated. Now, we only have some farming tools, so we can't use our combat strength.”
Li Ke heard this and smiled." It doesn't matter. I've already ordered people to prepare weapons for you. They should be delivered tomorrow morning."”
Hearing Li Ke's words, Tuoba Chici's eyes lit up. At the same time, he felt even more admiration and respect for Li Ke's ability.
Weapons were strictly controlled by the imperial court. Ordinary people did not have the opportunity to produce weapons at all. Once they were discovered, they would definitely be beheaded.
However, Li Ke could easily make 100,000 weapons. Not to mention anything else, just this ability alone was enough to shock people.
Tuoba Chici said," With weapons, we can instantly recover to our highest combat strength. I can't wait anymore. I want to ride my horse and raise my saber for Your Highness to spread Your Highness's name!"”
It had to be said that the Dangxiang Race was really a warlike race. Now that they had just joined Li Ke, they wanted to kill the enemy for Li Ke.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, Xue Rengui suddenly walked in from outside. He was holding a paper ball that had been rolled up into a cylinder.
He came in front of Li Ke, leaned against his ear and whispered,""Your Highness, a messenger pigeon from Chang 'an.”
When Li Ke heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed.
Without any hesitation, he opened the paper. When he saw the contents, the corners of his mouth curled up.
He placed the paper on the candle flame and burned it to ashes.
Then, he looked at Tuoba Chici and said with a smile,""General Tuoba, the opportunity has come. Li Shi Min has given me such a big gift, so I'll leave it all to you…"
