Chapter 998: Chapter 929: We Need a New Great Khan!
Various tribes under Dashi Bian’s command plundered Sharlobi’s territory extensively.
Especially those who had defected from Sharlobi’s side earlier, they not only wanted to seize items but also kill all of Sharlobi’s people.
Otherwise, who knows if Sharlobi will rise again in the future to seek revenge?
Therefore, the best thod is to root out the problem completely.
Once everyone had plundered everything from Sharlobi’s forr territory and nearly everyone was killed, it dawned on them that perhaps they should have pursued Sharlobi alongside Dashi Bian.
But by the ti everyone realized this, Zhang San had already returned with Dashi Bian.
Of course, Dashi Bian, who returned with Zhang San, lay silently on horseback.
“Everyone, I am deeply sorry, but when I arrived, after killing Sharlobi’s Khan, Dashi Bian was ambushed by Ding Kucha Khan’s n and died in battle! His heroic spirit is with us!”
Hearing this, many were shocked.
After all, with Sharlobi gone, it was supposed to be Dashi Bian’s world now.
Many were even contemplating which pasture they would request from Dashi Bian as a reward.
Unexpectedly, the battle ended, and the leader was gone.
At this mont, all the tribal leaders fell into silence.
“The grasslands cannot be without a leader for a single day. Naturally, this is a matter for you Tujue to resolve. I could completely sit back and watch you fight each other like a tiger against a hill. But Dashi Bian and I were good brothers; even though he is gone, I, Zhang San, have deep affection for you Tujue.”
Upon hearing Zhang San’s words, many of the tribal leaders present were deeply moved.
So even shed tears.
Of course, there were also so who doubted Zhang San’s words.
But it didn’t matter; Zhang San quietly rembered who these skeptical leaders were.
As the saying goes, “settling accounts in the autumn cannot be done face-to-face.”
Zhang San continued, “Therefore, for everyone and for the entire Tujue, I suggest we propose a new Great Khan. Ultimately, everyone should elect the Great Khan. This way, it would be convincing, right?”
“And since I, Zhang San, am not Tujue, I can be the neutral arbiter, responsible for counting and diating these matters without bias. What do you all think?”
At first glance, this sounded reasonable.
Moreover, many knew that Zhang San had a good relationship with Dashi Bian from the start, so many of the tribal leaders quickly agreed.
Especially so clever tribal leaders, they knew that despite Zhang San being an outsider now, with the arrangents Zhang San and his n had made on the grasslands during this period, it wasn’t quite a one-man show for Zhang San, but it wasn’t far off.
At this ti, showing hostility towards Zhang San would only bring trouble.
Many leaders who lacked insight imdiately volunteered themselves, saying things like they could endure hardships and thus lead everyone in hardship.
Others felt their troops were strong enough to beco the next Great Khan.
There were even so tribal leaders who, despite looking ugly, resembling a flat face trampled by a horse in their youth, insisted they were handso enough to win over Long Bo Khan and establish a harmonious grassland family.
Zhang San listened with a smile as everyone voiced their opinions.
Finally, soone ntioned Xing Luohou.
With Xing Luohou’s na being ntioned, many imdiately realized that after Muzhen Khan’s death, with two of his three sons now dead, it would be best for Xing Luohou to inherit this position.
Upon hearing this, Zhang San nodded slightly, his lips curling upward.
Zhang San had no qualms about expressing his approval of Xing Luohou, while simultaneously noting down the leaders who seed displeased with Xing Luohou.
In such a short ti, among the hundred tribal leaders present, over thirty had been noted by Zhang San.
Once everyone had made their recomndations, Zhang San said, “I have recorded all the candidates you just recomnded. We will gather here in seven days for the election. During this ti, you can call over any tribal leaders who haven’t arrived yet, since not every tribe participated in this battle.”
The crowd agreed this was necessary; though the battle was extensive, not all tribes were involved.
Electing the Great Khan for Tujue concerned all Tujue people, so it’s essential to invite everyone.
Zhang San continued, “Moreover, although Sharlobi hasn’t been killed, there are still so tribes under Sharlobi resisting stubbornly. In this period, everyone should find ways to eliminate those tribes.”
Although Zhang San spoke of elimination, he had already woven the fate of so tribal leaders in attendance.
In the following seven days, more tribal leaders arrived to prepare for the election of the Great Khan.
So tribes took the opportunity to attack those who previously submitted to Sharlobi, seizing benefits and taking people as slaves.
Others exacted revenge on forr enemies, claiming their adversaries supported Sharlobi and launching attacks.
During this process, of the thirty tribal leaders noted by Zhang San, over twenty were killed in battle, and the remaining either faced assassination or died mysteriously.
Of course, once these leaders died, others quickly seized the opportunity to attack their old enemies.
No one ever suspected Zhang San throughout the ordeal.
However, Zhang San knew there were certainly those who doubted him, but those who could trace suspicions back to him were intelligent people, and intelligent people don’t expose themselves to danger.
Seven days later, in the center of the grasslands, over four hundred tribal leaders or their fully authorized representatives gathered.
By that ti, the place had essentially beco Zhang San’s domain.
Zhang San was confident that he could randomly pick a Tujue person, say sothing grand, and let them beco the Great Khan, and half the leaders present would agree.
But Zhang San had no such plan.
After all, he needed soone capable to combat the invasion of the Outer God and possibly engage in a battle against Long Bo and the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path in the north first.
So, a capable Great Khan, one who could lead everyone to victory in this fight, was most needed.
And just then, Xing Luohou arrived with his own troops.
