Li Wenyuan drank the remaining half jar of water and wine after Ba Du walked into the palace for a long time, suppressed a trace of sadness in his heart, and said to Zhang Juntai, who had been waiting in the army formation behind him for a long time: "Since the army of Gaochangguo has chosen to surrender, give them the courtesy of prisoners of war, and don't confuse them with the Hu people who are not obedient to the king." ”

Zhang Juntai nodded, and ordered to the officers beside him: "The whole army, accept the surrender of Gao Changguo's army with the highest courtesy." ”

Subsequently, the Western Regions Army accepted the surrender of the Gaochang army in accordance with etiquette, and rescued the original king of Gaochang in the forbidden palace, and Li Wenyuan received him in the palace. Lu Boya was helped into the palace tremblingly, and sat on the chair that Li Wenyuan had prepared for him a long time ago.

When Li Wenyuan saw that Koji Boya was coming, he smiled and said: "Benguo Gong has suffered, and the Turks who seek power and usurp the throne have been killed, and now this Gaochang Kingdom belongs to your Koji clan again." ”

Koji Boya said in a deep voice: "I am willing to accept the canonization of the Celestial Empire, Gaochang Kingdom originally appeared in the Han people who were exiled in the Western Regions in order to protect themselves, and my Koji clan is only for the temporary custody of the Celestial Empire, now that the Celestial Empire army has arrived, I naturally want to return the Gaochang Kingdom to its original owner and let him return to the Heavenly Dynasty." ”

Li Wenyuan raised his eyes to look at Lu Boya, then lowered his eyelids and continued to look at the map left by Ba Du on the table. It's not that Li Wenyuan is pretending to be a gesture, it's just that he really can't raise the interest of diverting his eyes in the face of a dead monarch. Originally, Li Wenyuan was indeed going to meet with Lu Boya here, and the two sides had a good talk about the merger of Gaochangguo and the Western Regions, but when Li Wenyuan was wandering here, he found a folded parchment scroll under the seal ribbon on the table. Li Wenyuan cautiously opened it and found that it was not a hidden weapon, but a schematic book that drew the distribution of various Turkic tribes, and even marked with information such as population and army in some places, which made Li Wenyuan extremely interested, and immediately lay on the table and looked at the parchment scroll in front of him, but he didn't even react when Lu Boya came in, and in the end, it was Kou Boya who retreated from the people left and right, and then said this to Li Wenyuan.

"King Koji, are you telling the truth? Or is it just a compromise to regain the dominance of the Gochang Kingdom? Li Wenyuan looked down at the parchment roll and said.

"Yes, after this coup d'état, I would rather only receive the false title of the Duke of Gaochang, and from then on I will be a rich man and never ask about the world again." Recalling the past few years as a prisoner, Lu Boya couldn't help but shudder and said with a chill.

"You can't live in seclusion yet, buy bones for other kings to see, and you have to stay in officialdom for a few more days." Li Wenyuan shook his head and said.

When he couldn't figure out what Li Wenyuan meant in his words, he didn't dare to speak more, for fear of angering the person in front of him who could decide his fate.

"You don't have to worry, if I really wanted to be unfavorable to you, you wouldn't be alive standing here, you would have been killed by the Turks in the war like those Hu people." Li Wenyuan heard that Liboya didn't answer, so he raised his head and saw Liboya's complicated expression, and immediately understood that Liboya had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, I've been locked up for a long time, so I feel a little malicious when I look at everything." Ko Boya hurriedly stood up and explained.

"Come over here and see how much of the thing drawn on this parchment is real?" Li Wenyuan beckoned Lu Boya to step forward and said.

Lu Boya stepped forward and looked at it and said: "Chief, what is drawn on this is the distribution of the tribes and tribes of the Turkic people, as well as the stationing of the Turkic army, as well as some products of the steppe, in general, there is no problem, and the specific needs to be compared." ”

As she spoke, Lu Boya stepped forward and said to Li Wenyuan: "Chief, it's rude." ”

Then Ko Boya reached out and lifted a corner of the table cover on the table, knocked out a very inconspicuous wooden tenon with one of his rings, and caught a fallen wooden box. Then he took out something similar to Kong Ming's box from inside, and without seeing him make any movements, he opened a sealed box, took out a scroll that was already a little yellowed from it, put it on the table and carefully spread it out, and said to Li Wenyuan:

"Chief, this is a compilation of Turkic-related information that my monarchs of the Koji clan secretly investigated, it may not be very comprehensive, but it is very accurate, and it will be drawn on it after it has been verified repeatedly, so the governor can rely on this to determine whether the parchment scroll is true or not."

Li Wenyuan also looked at the ancient scroll in front of him intently and said, "You guys are quite careful, how could you spend so much effort and energy to investigate your own suzerain?" ”

"If it weren't for our lack of strength, how could we be willing to make the Turks a vassal state. This is the work of my Koji family, you must know that you know that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and there is a dynasty that will rule forever in this world? When the Turks are in decline and prosperous, it is the time when our Koji Gaochang rises up, and then this ancient scroll will be our magic weapon to defeat the enemy. Ko Boya cherished the ancient scroll in front of him with his hand and said:

"But now that we don't need it, I have made up my mind to give this thing to the governor to help him completely defeat the Turks and completely solve this threat that may threaten the Central Plains at any time."

Although Li Wenyuan did not carry the detailed map of the Western Turks surveyed and mapped by the night owl in recent years, but the map of later generations that he remembered very well in his mind, coupled with the location of Zhang Juntai and the others' troops that were often marked on the map in the governor's office, at this time, looking at the ancient scroll presented by Koji Boya, it was also a little familiar, so he nodded and said: "Koji Guogong, don't worry, I will take good care of this, use it, and I will definitely not spoil this thing." ”

Hearing Li Wenyuan call himself the Duke of Ko Guo, Ko Boya was also a little relieved, and a hanging heart was put down. Only then did he point out some marks that only the Koji clan could understand, and explained to Li Wenyuan the information drawn on the ancient scrolls: the specific location of the Western Turkic royal court and the surrounding geographical and hydrological information, the location of several elite Turkic troops guarding the royal court, as well as the composition of these elite troops, and even the information of seventy percent of the Turkic generals, which even included the family information, character, weapons used, war horses, and some detailed records of the achievements of these generals. This part of the information has greatly filled the gap in Li Wenyuan's intelligence, and even Li Wenyuan is very satisfied.
