Next.

The weather was sunny.

Out of Loulan City, everyone led a large army and headed towards Gaochang Kingdom.

Gaochang is a very important kingdom in the Western Regions.

It is also one of the few Han countries in the Western Regions.

Gaochang Wang Qu Wentai.

After walking north from Loulan for half a day, you will enter Gaochang Kingdom.

Li Tai sat on the donkey and led the people slowly forward, dark and swarthy.

Su Dingfang and others followed him and protected Li Tai.

Entering the Gaochang area, what comes into view is a piece of cotton field, which is the time when cotton begins to grow, and many of them have already borne fruit.

"Good place, good place, this Gao Changguo actually has a lot to do with my royal family." Li Tai said with a smile.

"Oh?" Su Dingfang asked at the right time: "I don't know what His Highness has to do with this Gaochang Kingdom?" ”

"You don't know that my ancestors established Xiliang, this Gaochang country used to be my land in Xiliang, and this time I entered the Western Regions just to recover my homeland." Li Tai said with a smile.

Li Hui, a descendant of Li Guang, established the Xiliang Dynasty in 400 A.D. and was called "Liang Gong" in Dunhuang.

In 405, the capital was moved to Jiuquan, approaching Beiliang. The territory was in the western part of Gansu and Xinjiang, and was controlled by the Western Liang of Gaochang State.

"This time, I want to worship my ancestors in Gaochang country, so that the ancestors Li Wei and Mrs. Yin, what they wanted to do but couldn't do back then, now our juniors have done it." Li Tai looked proud.

"Tell the soldiers, don't rush, go slowly, don't destroy the crops," he said. Three days later, I drank wine with everyone in the royal city of Gaochang. ”

"Your Highness, if this is the case, won't it startle the snake?" Su Dingfang was a little puzzled.

Soldiers, treacherous ways.

However, Su Dingfang knew better that the soldiers were fast.

If everyone advances at full speed, they will be able to reach the outside of the Gaochang King City tonight.

With lightning speed, he captured the royal city of Gaochang, destroyed his country, and then conquered his counties, and broke them individually.

If you go slowly, wouldn't it be necessary for King Gaochang to take precautions?

"I just want to scare the snakes, I want these snakes and rats to get together and catch them all." Li Tai said loudly.

If it was before, I was very worried that the Gaochang people would arrange the army in the Gaochang royal city.

Now, I can't wait for all the soldiers and horses in the Western Regions to be in Gaochang City, lest I have to work hard to defeat them everywhere.

Now.

In the royal city of Gaochang.

The breath of war is getting closer and closer, especially the news of the defeat of the Western Turks in one fell swoop, which makes the people of the city panic all day long.

Qu Wentai hurriedly summoned all the nobles and princes in the city.

The story of the Tang Army's westward expedition had already spread among the countries and ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were in chaos.

Finally, when the Tang army entered Gaochang Kingdom, the scouts of Gaochang Kingdom told King Gaochang for the first time.

The royal city was in chaos, and King Gaochang hurriedly closed the city and waited for it.

The Qu clan has been king in Gaochang for hundreds of years, how can they be willing to give up the throne?

"Everyone, the Tang Dynasty presses the realm, what can you do to resist the enemy?" Qu Wentai looked at everyone and asked: "Now is the crisis moment when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and I hope you can share the worries and solve problems for the Gaochang country and the people of Gaochang." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but close their mouths, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Everyone is not stupid, Datang came this time, but he came prepared, even the 20,000 Turkic cavalry stationed in Loulan were defeated, what else can he do?

Besides, now that the Tang army is like a rainbow, Gaochangguo is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty at all, and now he is helping the king of Gaochang to make plans to resist the Tang army, and when the Tang Dynasty conquers Gaochangguo, and after the autumn, won't his family be finished?

Therefore, the dignitaries and nobles of Gao Changguo collectively lost their voices at this time.

Seeing this, King Gaochang's hateful teeth itched.

When you usually act as a prestige, intrigue, and fight for power and profit, you are all extremely active, and when you are in danger of losing the country, you are all dumb?

Qu Wentai couldn't wait to cut these people down one by one.

"If Gao Chang dies, you will not be able to die!" Qu Wentai said viciously in his heart.

"Father, my son has a plan!" At this moment, a figure stood up, it was Qu Zhisheng, the son of King Gaochang.

Although Qu Zhisheng is young, he is quite talented.

"Oh, what is Sheng'er's plan?" Qu Wentai asked, at this time, he could only hope for his son.

"Father, now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, although our Gaochang Kingdom is a powerful country in the Western Regions, it is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty." Qu Zhisheng said.

"How's that going?" Qu Wentai sighed and said.

Is my Gaochang Kingdom going to die?

If you knew it earlier, you wouldn't listen to this ** person, and if you are in alliance with the Western Turks, why would Datang let it go.

"Father, as the so-called Tang people have a good plan, we have bridges and ladders in Gaochang, if the Tang people come with a large army, we are naturally not opponents, but if the Tang people only have a small army coming, even if we can't beat it, we can still defend the royal city."

"Datang is far away, the soldiers are tired, and if they can't attack for a long time, they will naturally leave, and they can also come here and return in defeat." Qu Zhisheng said.

"How should that be? Please also ask Wang Er to come quickly. Qu Wentai asked.

It's all this time, so don't be foolish.

"Father, there are forty-six towns in my Gaochang country, and each town has a garrison, and my father can order the transfer and gather the troops of all towns to defend the royal city." Qu Zhisheng said loudly.

"If so, won't the towns be left without soldiers? Isn't the Tang Army like no one? Qu Wentai frowned.

"Exactly." Qu Zhisheng smiled slightly, with a hint of pride on his face, and said: "The Tang army occupies our city, and it is inevitable to send a large army to garrison it. ”

"When the time comes, as long as we gather the troops of the whole country and defeat the main general of the Tang army, we will definitely be able to inspire the entire Western Regions, and then the Tang army will be in a desperate situation, and my Gaochang country will be saved."

"What's more, the Tang army is not invincible, there is Xue Yantuo in the grassland, Goguryeo in the north, and Feng Zhidai in the south may not be willingly ruled by the Tang people."

"We can make friends with Goguryeo in the north, Feng Zhidai in the south, and Turks in the west, and the soldiers and horses of all countries will crusade against the unrighteous Tang together, and then it will be the time for the Tang Dynasty to perish!" Qu Zhisheng's eyes showed a strong hatred.

"This plan, great goodness." Qu Wentai was very happy.

This son of his own, it's really good.

Back then, the Li family was able to establish Xiliang, and my Qu family may not be worse than the Li family!

……

Gaochang is in the north.

In a small city.

Three days ago, Xue Yantuo's army suddenly appeared and occupied the city.

In the city, Pearl Khan was sitting on a chair, drinking tea.

Prairie people can't do without tea.

If you eat meat every day, if you don't drink tea, you won't feel digested, and your body will be uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, according to the previous report, Wei Wangtai has already gone to the Gaochang Royal City." A figure walked in from the outside and said respectfully.

"Well, we'll have to hurry, too." Zhenzhu Khan stood up and said, "Raise your troops!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xue Yantuo's army quickly headed in the direction of the royal city.
