In the fifth year of the Zhenguan era, April.
.....
After a long journey, Jie Li Khan was finally escorted to Chang'an.
This journey was not easy for Jie Li Khan.
Now, he seemed to have aged several decades overnight, transforming from a spirited hero to a frail old man with a head full of white hair.
It wasn't just concern for the future, but also an unspeakable sense of defeat.
The change in Kyushu was too great.
For many years, he had always regarded Kyushu as a lifeline, and this thought had become a habit for him.
Now, witnessing the changes in Kyushu, the impact on him was beyond others' understanding.
But what could he do?
Now he had become a prisoner, left to be at the mercy of Li Shimin.
——The news spread continuously.
Li Shimin's judgment was correct; indeed, the emissaries of the various tribes were closely monitoring the movements of the Great Tang court.
For these tribes, the attitude of the Great Tang was highly significant.
