Chapter 289: The Death of King Gaochang (Seven Watches)
Gaochang City, where Huang Puwan lived was where Chu Suiliang lived, and there were eighteen people with cold faces beside him, it was Li Xin's eighteen horsemen in Zhongnan, they sat there, as if it were an iceberg, and the breath on their bodies was terrifying and intimidating, even Huang Puwan didn't dare to look at these eighteen people, what he couldn't forget was what happened in the Gaochang Palace before, and those people killed people as if they were killing chickens. Eighteen people appeared right now, and these people gathered together, and the evil aura on their bodies became heavier.
At this time, there was a long and two short knocks outside the door, and then I saw a note coming in, Huang Puwan was waiting to step forward, but the boss of the eighteen horsemen in Zhongnan stepped forward to take it, opened it, looked stunned, and said coldly: "The governor has an order, open the city gate tomorrow evening, and receive the army into the city." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor has finally arrived." Huang Puwan was happy in his heart, nodded again and again and said: "When I left Gaochang Country some time ago, I felt extremely aggrieved in my heart, and this time I can finally return to Gaochang openly." ”
"This time, the army entered the city, and General Huangpu led the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers. The rest of the brothers followed me. The boss of the eighteenth cavalry of Zhongnan glanced at Huang Puwan and said: "General Huang Pu, whether the governor can enter the city in time depends on the strength of the general." ”
"General rest assured, Huang Puwan will never dare to spoil the major affairs of the Grand Governor." Huang Puwan's heart moved, but he never thought that the one who opened the city gate was only presided over by himself, and the other Zhongnan Eighteen Horsemen did not participate, obviously there were other things, and the Zhongnan Eighteen Horsemen did not show the note to themselves, I am afraid that there were other important things. And if this thing doesn't get it right, it's something else. Huang Puwan suddenly thought of what Chu Suiliang had confessed, and his heart was shocked, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he immediately stopped talking.
In the palace of Gaochang Wang, Lu Boya's face was gloomy. Although there are beautiful dances and beautiful singing voices in front of him, but Koji Boya does not have any mood of appreciation, the Tiele people have entered Gaochang, Koji Boya has lost all his power, and even he himself has been insulted by the Tiele people, he now regrets it very much, he should not have let Li Xin leave in the first place, even if it was to sacrifice some grain and grass, Li Xin should have been left here, at least. Li Xin would not interfere in the operation of Gao Changguo, and now it was too late for him to think about this.
"Fortunately, the queen is not in the palace, even if the king dies, it can be regarded as a successor, I hope the court can see my loyalty and ensure the inheritance of the Gaochang throne." Koji Boya looked at the dance in front of him and sighed slightly. He was very glad that Princess Huarong was not in Gaochang Country, otherwise, according to the Tiele people's dislike of the Great Sui, Princess Huarong would be unlucky.
"I wonder who's going to pick up this great head?" Koji Boya sighed softly. What he didn't know was. A few years later, thousands of miles away in Jiangdu, there was also a person who would say such things.
"Bang!" In the distance, a flash of fire suddenly rose into the sky. Soon the entire void was reflected, and the entire Gaochang City was ignited in an instant, and Lu Boya saw it very clearly in the palace, and his complexion changed suddenly. Standing up, he waved down the palace maids, and stared at the firelight in the distance. He could already see that countless soldiers were charging, and there was chaos at the head of the city.
When he was surprised, he suddenly found a shout in the distance, and before he could react, he found that the gate of Gaochang City was suddenly opened, and countless soldiers rushed in and killed him from the palace. Although there were a lot of Tiele soldiers desperately blocking along the way, but the sudden attack of the enemy caught the Tiele people in the city off guard, and there was no time to arrange an effective defense, and the opening of the city gate was the last straw for the Tiele people. The city was in flames, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Because of the attack on Khan Futu City, the elite soldiers and horses of the Tiele people have been transferred to Khan Futu City, and most of the people who remain in Gaochang City are old and weak, occasionally some strong, and they are not the opponents of these fierce soldiers, and they soon appear to be defeated.
"King Gaochang, hurry up, it's the Sui army that has come in." At this time, the palace was opened, and a group of cavalry came in, and the leader had a hideous face and a fierce look, but at this time, there was still a panicked look on his face. Ko Boya recognized that the other party was the commander of Tiele stationed in Gaochang, called Qi Bi Guoge, who showed off his might in front of Ko Boya on weekdays, and thought that he was extremely brave, after the Tiele people occupied Gaochang, they were even more domineering, and even several palace maids of Ko Boya were occupied by the other party, so that Ko Boya dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone would beat him so wolf.
"Li Xin?" Lu Boya was about to answer, and suddenly saw a young man in the firelight, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, was rampage through the streets, there was almost no enemy under him, Lu Boya's face suddenly turned pale, he knew Li Xin's attitude towards him very well, if Li Xin found himself at this time, I am afraid that he may not be much better.
"It's not him, who is it. If you don't want to die, come with me. Che Mogo said loudly. His right hand holding the knife trembled, what he didn't know was that he had just fought with Li Xin, if it wasn't for the soldiers around him to save him, I am afraid that he would be killed by Li Xin, which is also the reason why he broke into the palace and prepared to take Li Boya away, Li Xin's army has entered the city, and his reinforcements are still in Khan Futu City, a hundred and ten miles away, he must do his best to pass the news to the servant Gu Ge, so as not to be attacked by Li Xin on both sides, causing unnecessary casualties among the Tiele people. Of course, the premise is to take Ko Boya away, otherwise, there will be no excuse to reoccupy Gaochang City in the future.
"Oh! Okay, okay, let's go. Lu Boya's face was stunned, and he was about to object, when he suddenly saw Qi Biguoge's fierce gaze and blood-drenched scimitar, the opposition in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he said without thinking about it: "When I take the jade seal, I will leave." As he spoke, he turned around and entered the main hall, picked up a jade seal and rushed out, and was about to get on the horse and leave, when he suddenly looked into the distance, and his face changed.
"Who are you?" Che Moguo also found that he didn't know when, there were more than a dozen cavalry in front of him, these cavalrymen were dressed in black, holding jet-black broadswords, if it weren't for the firelight, they wouldn't be able to see clearly that there was such a black broadsword in the opponent's hand. He sensed something was wrong. Because these people have a very heavy aura on their bodies, expressionless faces, and solemn eyes, as if they are a group of wild beasts, it makes people shudder.
"Eighteen Riders of the South."
Lu Boya trembled, his eyes showed a look of horror, he will never forget when the ** banquet, An Baoshi conspiracy to rebel, that is, a few Zhongnan eighteen horses could not be a few people, standing firmly in front of him. Blocking the enemy's attack after wave, these people kill people without killing, and they can kill the enemy with every attack, and the blood that night is flowing, and until now, the hall behind them is still full of evil and bloody gas. The people in front of him are exactly the same as the original Zhongnan Eighteen Horsemen, even the expressions on their faces are the same, which can't help but make Lu Boya frightened.
"It's just a dozen people, just kill it." Chemo Goge looked at the dozen or so people in front of him. He clenched the scimitar in his hand again, swallowed and foamed, and looked around, only to see that his guard numbered as many as 100 people. Immediately he didn't take him to heart, smiled coldly, and rushed towards the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan without thinking about it, urging the war horse. The sheer inertia made Kheco speed up a lot, and behind him, dozens of Tiele warriors followed. Kill the past.
"Kill."
Zhongnan Eighteen Horsemen let out a fierce roar from their mouths, and saw a white powder fly out, and Qi Biguoge's face changed, and his body couldn't help but lie on the war horse, but the scimitar in his hand blocked his head. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my right foot, and I couldn't help but let out a scream. After the war horse rushed out of the horse, he opened his eyes and looked around, only a dozen people had disappeared on the war horse. Then he turned the horse's head and looked back, but saw that there were still more than a dozen people on the opposite side, without the slightest change, if there was a change, it was only the position of the two sides changed.
He glanced at the trembling Ko Boya in the distance, then looked around again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here immediately." In the face of a strong enemy, I can't say that I can't win by fighting, not to mention, the faint shouts of killing in the distance are enough to show that Li Xin's army has broken through the defense of the Tiele people and is about to kill in front of the palace, and at that time, it is impossible for him to break through. As for Ko Boya, he couldn't care about it anymore.
"Thank you, generals, for the rescue." At this time, Lu Boya breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said to everyone. If it falls into the hands of Li Xin, he may suffer some humiliation, but he will definitely not die, but it will fall into the hands of Tieler. The humiliation is a small matter, but the loss of life is relatively large.
The Eighteen Cavalry of Zhongnan glanced around, and finally nodded to the other Eighteen Cavalry, and saw that the boss of the Eighteen Cavalry of Zhongnan suddenly drew a scimitar from the hand of the dead Tiele soldier and slashed at the neck of Lu Boya.
"You, you." Lu Boya covered his neck with his right hand, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan with one hand, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, he never thought that the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan under Li Xin would kill him.
"The Metropolitan Governor asked me to sue you, what you are doing behind your back is very clear to the Metropolitan Governor, and those who dare to provoke my Great Sui Army, no matter who it is, will die. And Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Metropolitan Governor will help you take care of it. The boss of the eighteenth cavalry of Zhongnan whispered a few words in Lu Boya's ear.
"You, you don't have a good death." Ko Boya's eyes widened, and his left hand grabbed the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan, eager to die with him.
"Hmph, if we do what we do, we will die sooner or later, but we deserve to die. You are different, you don't have any strength, but you are making trouble behind the back of the Grand Governor, trying to leave my 60,000 troops in the Western Regions, and it is not a pity for people like you to die. The boss of the eighteenth cavalry of Zhongnan snorted coldly. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, he looked around and said, "Quick, look for it, everyone who sees this will be killed." Don't cause trouble for the Grand Duke. ”
The eighteen horsemen dispersed instantly, and after a while, there were a few screams, and then the eighteen horsemen quickly turned into black shadows and disappeared into the palace, and there was only one corpse on the ground, as if to indicate that there was a fight here just now. One of them was the former high-ranking King Gaochang, who also became part of the war dead at this time.
Perhaps the history books of later generations will record that on March 1, the eleventh year of the Great Cause, the city of Gaochang was in turmoil, and the Tiele people attacked the palace of Gaochang Wang, and the king of Gaochang was unyielding in battle, and was killed by the army of Tiele. In any case, the era that belonged to the king of Gaochang is a thing of the past. Gaochang is the capital of the Western Regions, turning a new page.
Li Xin ordered the army to gather and carry all these corpses outside the city to be burned, and ordered the people of Gaochang to clean the streets. However, the traces of the war can be seen everywhere in the city.
Gaochang City is destined to be a city full of disasters and difficulties, and Li Xin has only been in the Western Regions for a few months, and has been attacked three times in a row, and each time he has suffered the baptism of war.
Since the eighteenth year of Chengping in Beiliang, Rouran attacked Gaochang, destroyed Gaochang Beiliang Fuqu clan, and established Kan Bozhou as the king of Gaochang, which was the beginning of the founding of Gaochang. After Kan Bozhou's death, his son Yicheng succeeded to the throne. Later, Kan Yicheng's brother Kan Shou returned to kill Kan Yicheng and usurped the throne. Soon after Kan Shougui was killed by Gaoche King A Fu Zhiluo, and successively set up Gaochang Governor Shi Zhang Mengming, Ma Ru successively as the King of Gaochang, but unfortunately, because of their brutal rule, the Gaochang people rose up to resist and killed these two Gaochang kings, Gaochang people finally elected Ma Ru Chang Shi Lijia as the new Gaochang King, in the Kan Gaochang, Zhang's Gaochang, Ma's Gaochang, Koji's Gaochang four generations of regime, Koji's enjoy the country for the longest time. From today onwards, Koji's Gaochang is also about to become history, although it is publicized that Gaochang's queen Yuwenrong is pregnant, but Chu Gaochang Suiliang and other Li Xin's subordinates know that Yuwenrong is pregnant with Li Xin's flesh and blood, and has nothing to do with Koji's family at all. In other words, the Koji clan has perished by the time of the Koji Boya generation. Soon after, the king of Gaochang established by Li Xin had nothing to do with the Koji clan Gaochang.
Of course, Li Xin has not relaxed now, because there are still two powerful neighbors fighting there in Futu City, which is not far away, and there is still a long way to go to completely occupy Gaochang. (To be continued......)
