Chapter 259: Crusade against the Kingdom of Qiuzi
"Spread the edict! Ordered the left Xiaowei general Ashina Sheer to be the general of the Kunqiu Road march, the envoy to the festival, the right Xiaowei general Qibi He Li, and the Anxi Duhu Guo Xiaoke as the deputy head of the march to send troops to attack Qiuzi. 35xsā
"And ordered the thirteen states of the Tiele tribe, as well as the Turks, Tubo and Tuyuhun to jointly send troops to attack the Qiuci country." Li Er directly issued an edict.
The three provinces immediately prepared the edict, signed their names on the edict, and then handed it over to Li Er for signature, and after a set of processes, the edict officially took effect.
In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Ashina Sheer, the chief of the Kunqiu Road march, and Qi He Li and Guo Xiaoke, the deputy chief of the Kunqiu Road march, led the Tang army and more than 100,000 cavalry of the Turkic, Tubo, Tiele and Tuyuhun coalition armies to attack Qiuzi.
Flags are everywhere outside the capital of Qiuzi Kingdom, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and you can't see the edge.
Ashina Sheer stood in the middle of the army, looked at the Qiuzi capital in the distance, and waved his big hand: "Let's start!" ā
"Attack!" Heralds shuttled back and forth through the army, conveying the order to attack to more than 100,000 troops.
The front army was the first to attack, and the arrows rained down like a raging storm towards the capital of Qiuzi.
With the sound of rapid war drums, the coalition army launched a fierce attack on the capital of Qiuci, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, and with the help of the pro-Tang forces within Qiuci, the Tang coalition army soon broke through the capital of Qiuci.
In the capital city of Qiuzi, in the royal palace, the king of Qiuci, Khalib and the prime minister of Qiuci, Nali, were preparing to ask for help from the Western Turks. Flash Dance
They estimated that with the defense of the capital, although the strength was inferior to that of the Tang army, the Tang army did not give five or six days to break through the capital, and it was impossible to break through the capital.
In these five or six days, it was enough for them to invite reinforcements from the Western Turks, and at that time, with the reinforcements from the Western Turks, they could repel the Tang army, and Qiuzi avoided the destruction of the country.
Dreams are always beautiful, but reality is really cruel! Before their dream could come true, the capital was breached by the Tang Dynasty, Tiele, Turkic, Tibetan and Tuyuhun coalition forces.
"King, King, no! The capital was broken by the Tang army, and the Tang army has already killed it! One of the guards stumbled in, panicking.
The king of Qiuzi, Khalibu, was immediately shocked, and he was discussing with the prime minister of Qiuzi Nali to ask the Turkic Khan Chebi Khan for help.
Before they could invite reinforcements from the Western Turks, the Tang army broke through the defense of the capital, and the Tang army was inevitably too powerful!
After all, he was able to sit in the position of king, or the Chebi Khan was secretly helping, without the Chebi Khan, Khalib would have no chance to sit in the king's seat at all.
Although the Chebi Khan ostensibly promised to cede the territory of the Five Kingdoms as a dowry for marrying the Tang Princess, in fact, he was secretly infiltrating his own power into the Five Kingdoms.
On the surface, Qiuzi and the other five countries are the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, they are secretly in the hands of the Chebi Khan. Flash Dance
The wishful thinking of the car-nosed khan is really good! It's really a fool to be a fool in the Tang Dynasty!
"What do you say? How can it be! How long has it been, and the Tang army has attacked! He stepped forward with a missed arrow, grabbed the guard, and said in horror.
"It's true! The Tang army has already slaughtered the palace! The guard said in horror.
Outside, the Tang army has already been killed overwhelmingly, and it will soon reach the palace.
"How did the Tang army break through the capital?" Nelly asked hurriedly.
Although the Tang army was strong and fought all the way to the capital, he did not think that the Tang army would be able to break through the defense of the capital in such a short time.
There must be a reason why they didn't expect this, and this is the reason why the Tang Army was able to break through the capital in such a short time.
"It was Maha who led the people to open the city gate and raided the defending soldiers, and the Tang army broke through the capital." The guard said.
He was furious, and he didn't expect that someone would secretly communicate with the Tang Dynasty and harm him, causing the country to perish.
He gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing to kill these traitors who betrayed him now, but now was not the time.
Before they could speak, there was already a shout of killing outside the palace, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and it would soon be here.
"King, run! While the Tang army has not yet entered the palace, it is still too late to break through now, and it will be too late! ā
"As long as we can escape smoothly, we can invite reinforcements from the Western Turks, and we will have a chance to restore the country." Minister of State Nari said.
Now that the eyebrows are burning, if they don't leave, I'm afraid they will have to explain here, and when the time comes, even their lives will be gone, how can they slash the traitors.
"Let's go!" With a loud roar, he broke out of the siege with his guards and the prime minister of the country, and fled in the direction of the Western Turks.
As long as they can run to the sphere of influence of the Western Turks, there is still hope for them.
The general manager of the march of Kunqiu Road, the general of the left Xiaowei, Ashina Sheer, and the two deputy general managers of the march, the general of the right Xiaowei, Qi Bi, He Li, and the Anxi Duhu Guo Xiaoke, walked into the Qiuzi Palace.
A sergeant hurriedly ran to report: "The chief of Qiqi, the king of Qiuci, Ha Libu and the prime minister of Qiuci, led the light cavalry to fight out of the siege and have fled westward. ā
"It seems that the king of Qiuzi, Khalibu, is planning to flee to the Western Turks, and it is even possible to lead the Western Turks to make a comeback." The right Xiaowei general Qi Bi He said.
"Governor, Qianwan can't let the king of Qiuci, Khalibu, lose Bi and run away with the prime minister of Qiuci, in that case, we can't make a difference to Your Majesty." Anxi Du Guo Xiaoke said.
This time, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy the Qiuci country, if the king of Qiuci was not caught, how could it be regarded as the destruction of Qiuci.
As long as the king of Qiuzi is still there, he will be able to make a comeback with the help of the strength of the Western Turks.
Once the Tang army retreated, the king of Qiuzi, Khalibu, was able to re-establish the state with the support of the Western Turks.
Then, there is no point in sending troops this time, once Qiuzi recovers, Datang needs to send troops again.
It's just a matter of exhaustion, and the turtle will be like a thorn in the middle of nowhere.
"Naturally, we can't let them run away! The deputy chief of the march of Kunqiu Road and the protector of Anxi Guo Xiaoming listened to the order! Ashina Sheerdao.
"The last general!" Guo Xiaoke came out of the queue and hugged his fists and saluted.
"Order you to lead thousands of people to stay in the capital of Qiuci, pacify the people of Qiuci and guard the prisoners of war!" Ashina Sheerdao.
"The last general commands!" Guo Xiaoke hugged his fists.
In Ashina Sheer's view, now that the capital of Qiuzi has been broken, the rebel forces in the city have been suppressed and eliminated, and there is no longer any threat.
Guo Xiaoke is also a battle-hardened general, so he led thousands of soldiers and horses to defend the capital of Qiuzi, which was more than enough.
asked Guo Xiaoke to stay to appease the people, after all, he and He Li were not familiar with internal affairs, and Guo Xiaoke had been the protector of Anxi for so many years.
For the governance of people's livelihood, none of them will be more suitable than Guo Xiaoke.
