In front of the capital of the Qiangshi Kingdom, the Tocharian army carried a long ladder on its shoulders and waited for battle, and the Tang army turned the Liuhua Array into a sharp arrow formation, and thousands of crossbowmen in front of the front of the seven phalanxes controlled the strings and were ready to go.

The Chinese army's flag waved and issued an order to fight, and the officers waved the battle flag to command: "Prepare, shoot!" ”

The arrows were thrown into the air at a forty-five-degree angle, falling like dense raindrops on the city, and the soldiers of the Qiang Shi Kingdom immediately shrank their heads and fell to the ground, letting out a series of screams.

It is also a clay city wall in the style of West Asia and even Persia, and the capital of the Karma is much lower and shabby than the city of Talas, and even the capital of the country of Little Bolu is much lower and shabby, and the city wall and the women's wall are just over two feet, and the pole vaulter can easily fall up as long as he takes off with one jump.

After a few rounds of arrow rain strikes, the jumping camp began to attack, the Tang army archers guided in the front line, and continued to throw arrows at the head of the city, and the Tocharian soldiers held ladders and just set up the city head, the city gate was suddenly opened, the Tang army still didn't understand what was going on, and many people on the main city tower had already thrown their weapons downstairs.

It turned out that there was a coup d'état within the Qianshi Kingdom, which tied up the king and announced his surrender when the Tang army was attacking the city.

The Qianshi Kingdom was not prepared for war at all, they thought that they were far away from the Tang Dynasty and close to Tibet. Even if the Tang army attacked in a big way, as long as they sent envoys to ask for help from the Tibetans, and the Tibetans helped them to help, they could easily drive away the Tang army.

Who knew that the Tang army sent a long-distance attack on three routes, and the joint Tocharians had rushed to the city in just a few days, and now the Tang army was in front of them, but the Tubo people were nowhere to be seen.

The country was divided into two factions, some advocated pro-Tang and some advocated pro-Tibet, and the two factions relied on the changes in the game between the two powers, if the Tang army moved frequently in the west of the Green Ridge, the pro-Tang faction would have the upper hand, but if the Tang army retreated to the four towns of Anxi, and the Tubo people were active in the Green Ridge, the pro-Tu faction would also have the upper hand.

The siege of the Tang army caused divisions and coups within the capital, and the pro-Tang faction commanded the army to lay down its arms and began to welcome the Tang army into the city.

Gao Xianzhi was wrapped in a white wolf fur cloak and rode on a white horse, holding a horsewhip and walking towards the city with his head held high. The battle was too easy for him to win. Li Siye said that this was a battle without suspense, a wonderful performance battle with a long-distance attack, but unfortunately he guessed wrong, and the division did not give him the opportunity to perform the battle at all, and directly surrendered Kaicheng, so that his victory did not have any sense of achievement.

Wang Bot was not bound by ropes and knelt on the dirt field in front of the domed palace, and dozens of officials knelt behind him, among which the pro-Tang faction did not have ropes on them, and the pro-Tu faction was tied as tightly as rice dumplings.

Gao Xianzhi tightened his horse's head and stopped in front of them, the sun shining behind him and turning into a huge shadow over their heads.

"The guilty minister Bot did not meet the general of the kingdom, and we are deeply guilty, so please ask the general to send me down quickly and spare my life for the time being."

Gao Xianzhi turned over and dismounted, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, held the scabbard and put the tip of the knife on the back of Botewu's neck, causing his body to tremble, and lowered his head deeply.

"Last winter, Tocharian Ye Hu Li was busy with Jialuo entering Chang'an, saying that you returned the whole country to Tubo, and tried to attack Tocharian by the territory of another country, so I didn't wronged you."

"There is no wrong, it is true."

Gao Xianzhi asked again: "In the fifth year of Tianbao, I personally led 10,000 iron horsemen of the Anxi Army to trek thousands of miles, crossed the Green Ridge to defeat the Tubo army of Lianyunbao, and restored Xiao Bolu to my minister of the Tang Dynasty, haven't you heard of this?" ”

Bot didn't reply in a hurry: "Listen, I've heard of it!" ”

"Since you've heard of it, why do you want to risk the world's disapproval to attach Tubo and counterattack my Tang minister, Tocharo! Do you want to help the Tibetan people turn the tables against the wind? Or do you think that you can huddle with Tubo nearby to keep warm, and my Anxi army can't reach you? ”

Bot didn't tremble, how dare he answer, Gao Xianzhi shouted angrily: "Speak! ”

"The guilty and criminal ministers thought that the Anxi army was thousands of miles away, and the danger of the green mountains was blocked in the middle, and an expedition cost countless money and food. And the kingdom of the Karma and Tibet are close at hand, so they were confused for a while and did such a stupid thing. The criminal minister wanted to ask the general, I heard that the Tang Dynasty did not kill the monarch, and the criminal minister did not seem to be a great crime. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled sarcastically: "You are quite good at comforting yourself, that's right." As long as a criminal of the level of a monarch like you is not a heinous crime, the saint will open up to you. I escorted you to Chang'an, and the sage will give you a mansion, so stay in Chang'an City and enjoy yourself for the rest of your life. ”

Bot was not relieved, and bowed down again and again: "Thank you for the grace of the general of the kingdom not to kill." ”

Gao Xianzhi set his sights on Bert's younger brother, who was a leader elected by the pro-Tang faction and destined to replace Bert's failure to govern the country. From the face of the king's brother, it does look very solid, unlike some people who claim to know everything better than me.

He put the knife on the other party's shoulder, and said in a high-spirited manner: "From this day on, you are the successor of Bott, don't live up to my good intentions." ”

"Suga thanked Zhongcheng for his kindness, and never forgot Zhongcheng's kindness until he died."

Gao Xianzhi was extremely useful, and his heart was already full of pride, he was now not only the king of mountain warfare, but also the patron saint of the countries west of the Green Ridge, and the real ruler of the Green Ridge.

……

Gao Xianzhi began to move back to the dynasty, Bote did not become a prisoner from the king of a country, and his two concubines also accompanied him, which was already considered Gao Xianzhi's extra kindness, so that the two women accompanied him to avoid anxiety and not want to escape halfway.

When they returned to Shule Town, Gao Xianzhi began to disperse here, sending people to write a note to the emperor to report the victory, and sent the captives to Chang'an.

However, he did not take the army back to Qiuzi, and remained stationed in Shule, as if waiting for something.

Li Siye couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this clever martial artist. On more than one occasion, he led the army for short-distance marching training, and at one point crossed the Glo Ridge, a mountain pass on the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains.

It wasn't until the king of Shiguo, He Molu, Tutun, wrote a rather long letter begging for mercy, strictly speaking, a letter begging for peace. Why did He Molu Tutun write a letter of peace to Gao Xianzhi. This matter also started from the battle between the black and yellow surnames of Turgish, the king of Hemo was originally a Turgish man, who was once a henchman of the bull Sulu, and later became the king of the Stone Kingdom, and was a vassal of Turgish.

Later, the two surnames of Hei and Huang had a dispute, and Tutun openly supported the Khan surnamed Huang, and also sent troops to help the Tang army defeat the black surnamed Tuhuoxian. It's a pity that time has passed, and the situation has quietly changed, and the ambition of He Mo surnamed Huang has risen too fast, and he killed Shi Xin, the ten surnamed Khan, to attract the attention of the Tang court, and was killed by Fumeng Lingcha. Since then, it has been active in the range north of the Tianshan Mountains, and it has been all black surname forces.

As a member of the Huang family, the king of Shiguo was not very happy at this time, and he was particularly frightened in his heart. However, the method he chose was not to contact and negotiate with the Anxi army, but to spread a lot of remarks that were not conducive to unity, such as whoever is not a Trough Shi Khan, I will not mess with you Datang.

However, he just used this kind of remark as a bargaining chip, and did not take it seriously.
