Chapter 575: Gaochang City Breaks the Covenant Chapter 3
Early the next morning... Tang Jun sharpened his knife Huo Huo... However, Hou Junji still made his last mercy, and Hou Junji once again sent an envoy to the city of Gaochang to shout, he hoped that the king of Gaochang at this time could turn back.
It's just that what Hou Junji didn't expect was that the King of Gaochang had already been confused by his so-called wise man.
His reply to Hou Junji was that if you want to attack, you will attack... Gao Chang vowed not to surrender.
The backbone is really there, but he didn't think about his consequences at all, so if he sent it to the Tang army, then Hou Junji would no longer have any worries.
It was about 10 o'clock in the morning, Hou Junji asked Li Zhan if he could launch a general attack.
Li Zhan nodded, he could launch a general attack, and at 10 o'clock, the general attack began... At the beginning, the Gaochang king Ji Zhisheng thought that the Tang army must use the tactics of a sea of people to attack the city, so that he could rely on the city of Gaochang City, Gao Chijian, and tens of thousands of people in Gaochang City to hold out for a period of time.
Who knows... This time, Koji Zhisheng's wishful thinking was wrong.
The Tang army did not think of using the tactics of the sea of people at all, because with the tactics of the sea of people, there were too many dead people, and the time would be delayed, so the Tang army chose to attack the city with a thousand trebuchets.
In addition to 1,000 trebuchets, hundreds of watchtower cars were also dispatched, the cars were five feet high, and the soldiers stood on top of the watchtower cars, and they could clearly see the deployment of the army in Gaochang City.
The soldier who followed the watchcar would take out the flag and tell the trebuchet the direction of throwing.
OMG... You really haven't seen such a spectacular attack... A thousand trebuchets fired together, and the sound of the machine on the battlefield was endless, and some of the big stones hit the Gaochang city wall, and some smashed into the Gaochang city, only to hear the sound of 'bang', that is, the wall fell and people died.
"Buzz...!" "Buzz...!" "Buzz...!" "Buzz...!" "Buzz...!"
On the watchtower car, the cheers of the soldiers rang out one after another, and the flags flew with them.
Koji Zhisheng is going crazy... This time to defend the city, he sent out all the sixty-year-old men in the city, originally wanting to use his city to defeat the Tang army a few times, and then let his negotiations have capital.
Who knows, I messed up again.
The battle report from the front, the Tang army attacked the city with a thousand trebuchets... The defenders of the city were almost completely killed and wounded, and all the houses on the edge of the city were smashed and collapsed... Civilians have been killed and wounded.
These battle reports came into Koji Zhisheng's ears one by one, and it was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon... After eating lunch in his palace silently, Koji Zhisheng reluctantly announced that Gaochang had surrendered.
Just an hour... The gates of Gaochang City were wide open, ready for another round of killing by the Tang army.
The killing after the siege is basically a tacit understanding, especially after you put up a stubborn resistance, not just before, even after a thousand years.
In the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (that is, in 1645 AD), the Qing soldiers, under the leadership of Duoduo, surrounded the city of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou was in an emergency. The guard general Shi Kefa led the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou, stuck to the lonely city, decided to resist to the end, and died in battle to repay the country.
After struggling to resist for more than 30 days, the defenders of Yangzhou finally ran out of ammunition and food, the city fell, and the generals were captured. And the Qing army also paid a heavy price in the siege,
For such a rebellious and prosperous town in the south of the Yangtze River, after the Qing army broke the city, it was not enough to vent their anger without killing the people, and it was not enough to fill up without robbing property. Before entering the customs, the so-called "do not kill innocents, do not plunder wealth, do not burn houses, and those who meet the promise are guilty" has long been a dead letter.
Yangzhou has become a purgatory, full of stench and blood, littered with broken walls and mutilated corpses, and all moral, ethical and social norms no longer exist. On the sixth day of killing and looting, the Qing army received an order from the king of Yu to seal the sword, and the bloody massacre finally ended.
According to historical records, 800,000 people died in the massacre, not counting those who threw themselves into wells, set themselves on fire and hanged themselves in remote places.
This should be the helplessness of the weak... But just when Koji Zhisheng and the people of Gaochang City were also preparing to accept such a slaughter, an unexpected scene appeared.
After the Tang army entered the city, they did not loot on a large scale, not only that, but also helped some homeless civilians.
Then a notice appeared in Gaochang City, on which were written three chapters of the covenant: first, the death of a murderer; second, the crime of injuring people; Third, the crime of stealing. The severity of the crime depends on the severity of the crime.
As soon as the three chapters of this covenant came out, Gaochang City, which was originally impetuous, completely lost its impetuousness.
Li Zhan's Tiger Army, as well as Hou Guangliang's Tiger Army, temporarily became the army that supervised discipline, and the Tang Army was not allowed to spread wild in Gaochang City.
At about 13 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Li Zhan entered the Gaochang Palace under the protection of the Tiger Ben Army, after Hou Junji ordered that no one was allowed to enter the Gaochang Palace for half a step, including himself.
Only the Tiger Army and the Tiger Army could enter the Gaochang Palace.
You must know that history has changed here again, because according to historical records, Hou Junji invaded the capital of Gaochang and saw a large number of treasures from the Western Regions, and immediately fell in love with it, so he disregarded military discipline and took a large amount of gold and silver treasures for himself. Hou Junji's subordinates saw that the boss was so greedy for money, and they followed suit, and almost ransacked the palace of Gaochang Kingdom in half a day.
Hou Junji returned victoriously, and did not say a word about his embezzlement of treasures in the report to Li Shimin.
After returning to Chang'an, the soldiers under the command of Hou Junji finally shook out the matter because of the uneven distribution of spoils, Li Shimin was very shocked when he heard it, and immediately ordered Hou Junji to be arrested, but how to deal with Hou Junji, Li Shimin made a difficulty.
It stands to reason that Hou Junji led the army to destroy Gao Changguo, and his meritorious service should be rewarded heavily. However, Hou Junji embezzled treasures and corrupted military aircraft, which was of a bad nature, and even if he was killed, he would not be wronged. In the end, Li Shimin did not kill Hou Junji, nor did he punish him, but released Hou Junji, and he was not to blame for the past.
However, this also led to a rift between Hou Junji and Li Shimin, since Hou Junji was released, he complained all day long, thinking that Li Shimin should not arrest him, and since then he has a grudge against Li Shimin, and finally went to the point of no return.
Three years later, Hou Junji rebelled with the crown prince Li Chengqian, and after the East Window incident, Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji who was arrested and brought to justice, and was very distressed. Thinking of Hou Junji's previous contributions, he did not affect his wife and children.
And now this thing can no longer happen, Hou Junji did not act on the treasures in the Gaochang Palace at the first time, and also issued a military order not to allow the Tang army to approach.
In this way, Hou Junji is still a good subordinate of Li Shimin, so it will be difficult for the next thing to happen, and in this way, history has changed again.
Li Zhan didn't know if such a change was good or bad, Li Zhan was now doing things with his heart, and the rest of Li Zhan ignored them.
Li Zhan entered the Gaochang Palace accompanied by Feng Ming, Ying Lao, Gao Hu, Hou Guangliang, and Cheng Chumo, and walked all the way in, Li Zhan saw the richness of the Gaochang Palace, gold, silver, precious stones, ivory... Wait a minute... Li Zhan is okay, he has seen people with money.
But these things really make other people's eyes look straight.
"Oh my god... How could such a small place as Gaochang be so rich? Cheng Chumo looked at the luxurious palace and asked with some puzzlement.
"Who knows... Maybe this Gao Chang's father and son are not good people. "Suningbao interface.
Li Zhan on the side smiled and said, "You... In fact, these wealth are not accumulated from generation to generation, but have been accumulated over hundreds of years, and this is another family of their own, so of course they have accumulated a lot.
However, these things will be lent to me first, and my Dengzhou needs money so much that I can only borrow one from Gao Changguo. ”
After speaking, Li Zhan laughed, and after Li Zhan entered the palace, after he came to the palace, Li Zhan saw the king of Gaochang at this time, Ji Zhisheng... To be honest, Koji Zhisheng is still quite young, but at this time, this Koji Zhisheng looks a little lonely and miserable.
After seeing Li Zhan, Koji Zhisheng knelt down with all the family members behind him, and then listened to Koji Zhisheng say: "Gaochang criminal minister Koji Zhisheng pays a visit to the Tang Angel...!" ”
Li Zhan looked at Koji Zhisheng and sighed: "I knew why I had to do it today... You father and son are always testing where Datang's bottom line is... Is this something you can tempt?
It's good now... The country is ruined... However, don't worry, with me here, your family and your life safety, I can call the shots, and no one dares to hurt you in the slightest. ”
"Who is the angel?" Koji Zhisheng looked at Li Zhan a little nervously and asked, at this time, Koji Zhisheng hoped that Li Zhan was a big man, so that Li Zhan's commitment would be more stable.
"Open your dog's eyes and take a good look... This is His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Tang Emperor...! Cheng Chumo scolded loudly.
"The eldest son of the Tang Emperor...?" Koji Zhisheng was stunned and said, "Shouldn't that be the prince?" Are you the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Zhan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but let me tell you so... Lone's words are also true, Lone said that you will be fine, your family will be fine, then you and your family will be fine.
However, Lone also has something to ask you for help, the main reason why Lone came to Gaochang this time is the lack of money, so Lone wants to take away all your money in the Gaochang Palace, I don't know if you can help Lone? ”
"Your Highness laughed... Success and defeat of the king, all of them in the future of Gaochang are His Royal Highness, not to mention the things in the Gaochang Palace, even if I and my family's lives, please take them at will. ”
After speaking, Koji Zhisheng pushed his fourteen-year-old daughter out.
"Ahh With a scream, Koji Zhisheng's eldest daughter sat on the side, and after Li Zhan saw this girl's face, the corners of his mouth also showed a smile, because they all said that there are many beautiful women in the Western Regions, and there is really nothing wrong with that.
Do you know who this Koji Jisheng's daughter looks like... The four-word actress really seems to be.
Li Zhan grabbed the little girl's hand, and then said with a smile: "You take me to see the palace treasury of Gaochang...!" ”
Li Zhan's words made Koji Zhisheng feel a little more steady.
