The name of the depressed chapter, copied wrongly, should be "Ding Gaochang"!

Sweat!

I can't change it, I'll just do it first, and I'll ask the editor to change it tomorrow!

Gaochang is in chaos, completely in chaos.

This turmoil is as good as the death of Ko Wentai.

Ko Wentai's death, after all, is a royal matter, and has nothing to do with the people in the city. But now it is different, nine senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee were killed one after another in front of the public almost within an hour, and the panic caused by this is self-evident.

In the streets and alleys, people are panicking, martial law has also been implemented in the city of Gaochang, and there are shadows of Gaochang soldiers patrolling everywhere in the fortresses.

In the Gaochang Palace, the new Gaochang King Koji Zhisheng jumped like thunder, angry like a roaring lion, "Who is it?" Who did this to you? Hateful, hateful! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty trembled in the hall, especially those who fled from the main faction, and they were even more frightened, and they were all at a loss. Of the nine people who were assassinated, except for the prince Koji Zhigang, everyone else was an important minister of the main escape faction. One has to suspect that this is an assassination specifically against the main fugitive, and their lives are all in danger.

Seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had become dumb one by one, Koji Zhisheng snorted coldly a few times, and looked at Zhang Xiong as if asking for help. He had just succeeded to the throne and became the head of a kingdom, and he lacked assertiveness in making decisions on major matters. Dealing with some small things, you can still be handy, but you lack the confidence to face such big things.

Zhang Xiong nodded slowly, and then glanced at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Koji Zhisheng willingly asked the ministers to retreat, and when there was only Zhang Xiong in the main hall, he spoke: "Does the teacher know anything?" ”

Zhang Xiong nodded silently: "According to my estimate, the person behind this scene should be Du He!" ”

"What?" Koji Zhisheng stood up movingly, his mind was full of thoughts, and he remembered that he had made a compromise, but Du He was aggressive, and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, I have already decided to surrender, isn't he too deceitful to do this?" ”

Zhang Xiong pressed down with both hands, signaled to Ko Zhisheng to stabilize his emotions, and after seeing that he was not lost in anger, he said: "The king may not know that the defeat of Nazha has united the second prince Ko Zhigang and some ministers of the main escape faction, and intends to stop Du He in Ming and force the king to move west. ”

Koji Zhisheng was dumbfounded, "There is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Xiong nodded solemnly: "The second prince's surname is King Ge, who knows that if there is no place for him to benefit from this matter, he will not get involved." If I am not mistaken, I must have lost Zaha, and planned to use the military power in my hands to force the king to abdicate on the way west, or kill him directly. ”

Koji Zhisheng's face was gloomy, "The teacher is saying that Du He killed the killer because he noticed this?" ”

"Ten of the **, the king thinks about why Du He is so anxious to ask us to surrender? According to common sense, the Tang Dynasty army is overwhelming and unstoppable, and this urgency should be us! But he is acting in a hurry than us, is there any reason for this? Zhang Xiong asked two questions in a row, and there was a wise light in his eyes.

Koji shook his head in confusion.

Zhang Xiong explained: "He's fighting for merit, you think, king." If Hou Junji's army arrives in Gaochang, who is the person who accepts the king's letter? Obviously, it is Hou Junji, which is determined to be Gaochang's miraculous achievements, and it is inevitable that Hou Junji will be divided. Hou Junji is the commander of the three armies, and he will occupy the lion's share of this merit. Du He was not willing to do this, so he had to accept the king's letter of surrender before Hou Junji's army arrived, proving that the pacification of Gaochang was his own work and had nothing to do with Hou Junji. Under these circumstances, he did not allow anyone to sabotage the surrender of our Gaochang. ”

"Reasonable!" Hearing Zhang Xiong's analysis, his thoughts gradually turned.

"But he shouldn't have killed so indiscriminately! It made my Gaochang people panic......" Before he could speak, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he lost his voice: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Duhe didn't kill indiscriminately at all, and everyone he killed was the second brother and the person who lost in Zaha? ”

Zhang Xiong nodded silently.

"This ...... It's horrible! It was difficult to hide the fear in Ko Zhisheng's eyes, and his body trembled slightly, he was terrified of Du He's strength in Gaochang City.

He clearly remembered that Zaha's defeat had always been very close to him, and only a few days ago, after Zhang Xiong came, when he announced his surrender to Datang, Zaha's defeat distanced him from him. In other words, Zaha's defeat was conspired by Koji Zhigang after that, that is, in the past two days. Since it is a conspiracy, it is natural to act cautiously and not let others notice. But Duhe had all the information in this short period of time, and then arranged the assassination, and so far, they have not detected any clues. What kind of strength does this need, and what kind of strength does it take?

"Could it be that Du He has already controlled Gaochang in the shadows?" He even suspected that Duho might have more power than he had as a king.

"It's terrible, it's really terrible, I think so too!" Zhang Xiong's old face also showed a trace of fear, he never dreamed that Du He would hide such power in Gaochang City. At the same time, I am glad that I made the right choice. Otherwise, when the army is pressing, the power in Gaochang City and the power outside the city should be combined inside and outside, even if Gaochang City is strong, it can't withstand this internal and external attack, and it will inevitably be ruined at that time.

He has already noticed the conspiracy between Zahe's defeat and Koji Zhigang, although he has lived in seclusion for many years, he is still very concerned about the major affairs in the DPRK and China, and knows that the surname of Zahe's defeat is suspicious and ambitious, and it is impossible to let go of everything, and he is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

But Du He acted first, the speed of his movements was faster than him, and he was even faster, and he didn't give people a chance to fight back at all, and the speed and accuracy of the means made him admire and feel even more frightened.

The two glanced at each other, and at the same time had the same idea, they must not be enemies with Du He.

After this incident, their desire for peace became even more firm.

Early the next morning, Du He led 3,000 light horsemen to travel for an hour, went deep into the hinterland of Gaochang, and came to the outside of Gaochang City.

Looking at the majestic Gaochang City, he was secretly amazed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that in this distant Western Regions, there was such a majestic city, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, this Gaochang could be taken without blood, otherwise with Gaochang being such a strong city, gathering troops to defend it, it would not be easy to conquer it, and the key was to pay a certain price.

Just when he admired the strength of Gaochang City, the gate of Gaochang City was opened.

Koji Zhisheng led the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to wear plain clothes and not wear any weapons, and jumped out of the Gaochang City Gate step by step.

Du He had already received a letter from Huangfu Haohua last night, which stated that all those with bad intentions had been exterminated, that any resistance had been eliminated, and that he could safely accept Koji Zhisheng's demotion.

He dismounted from his horse and stood with his sword in hand, waiting for Koji Zhisheng's arrival.

The early sun shone on his body, and the shining silver armor reflected in the dazzling light, making him look extraordinarily tall and mighty.

On February 15, the twelfth year of Zhenguan, this is destined to be a date that will go down in history.

Du He, the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to march westward, and with only 6,000 soldiers and horses, he first broke through 70,000 Turkic soldiers and Chiting Valley, and then persuaded Gaochang and achieved brilliant results.

On this day, the last king of Gaochang, Koji Zhisheng, opened the door and surrendered out of the city, and Du He's soldiers were bloodless, and in one fell swoop, they included the three counties, five counties, and twenty-two cities of Gaochang and controlled the entire territory of Gaochang. For the Tang Empire, it opened up a vast area of 800 miles from east to west and 500 miles from north to south, and the Gaochang Kingdom disappeared in the long river of history.

Gaochang City!

When Du He and Koji Zhisheng entered the city, the long streets were almost empty, and flowers and perfumes were sprinkled all over the road.

They may not be so happy that the Tang Dynasty can rule Gaochang, but it is their happiest thing to be able to avoid military disasters and avoid the suffering of war.

Du He looked at the people along the way and said with a smile: "Let the people avoid the war, showing such a sincere smile." His Royal Highness and Mr. Zhang have made great contributions. You can rest assured, I Du He is true to his word, and I will definitely live up to you! ”

When he came to the Gaochang Palace, Du He asked Luo Tong to take over the defense of Gaochang City, and temporarily acted as the lord of Gaochang City to take over all government affairs and things in Gaochang.

Koji Zhisheng sorted out all the Gaochang materials, including population, finance, fields and other important things, and the Manchu civil and military also trembled after hearing it.

Du He did not embarrass them, but generously appeased all the returnees, checked all the silver coins in the treasury, and counted and sealed them.

Just when they were dizzy and busy with Gaochang government affairs, Luo Tong quickly broke into the conference hall and said in a deep voice: "Oh no, the Western Turks are coming!" ”

When the news spread, those Gaochang ministers were in an uproar one after another, and they were all suspicious.

"Oh? It came at the right time! Du He narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Those children of the Western Turks have not yet found a lesson in Chiting Valley, and now they are looking for a fight, and they are with me!" ”

Seeing that Du He was so confident, some of the Gaochang ministers also relaxed a little.

Du He gave Liu Renliang a look and asked him to appease the ministers and take a look at the situation with Luo Tong.

"How many centaurs?" Duhe also didn't expect that the Western Turks would choose to come at this time, and his expression was a little serious and a little confused. When they were guarding the Chiting Valley, the Western Turks did not come, and after they sat on the fortified city of Gaochang, what did they think in their minds?

Luo Daodao: "More than 10,000 or so, it is estimated that it is the front troops, and there should be more behind!" ”

Coming to Gaochang City, under Luo Tong's arrangement, the soldiers were ready to stand in front of the station. Originally, due to the attack of the Tang Dynasty, Ko Wentai prepared a lot of rolling stones and sasswood. Now Gaochang can't use them anymore, just cheap them.

A mile away, all the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks were stuck, and only a few men stepped forward at the same time.

Du He was fine, there were only nine people.

They came to Gaochang City and knelt on the ground, shouting in Turkic language: "Ashina Bu Zhenye Protector leads more than 10,000 soldiers with Khan Futu City, please surrender!" ”
