Chapter 239: Take Gaochang Kingdom
Koji Wentai's eyes were dark after hearing this, and he almost fell off the horse!
It was less than half a day, and all the gates were ...... Lost it all?
At this moment, he deeply realized how outrageous he was wrong!
It turns out that the previous rumors were not made by those people as an excuse for their defeat, but they were all true......
"What's going on now?" After coming back to his senses, Ko Wentai asked anxiously.
Although the Tang army broke through the city gate, there were many people on his side.
"Several commanders were captured on the spot...... "The little soldier trembled, "Our army ...... Completely dismantled ......"
"Peng!"
This time, Ko Wentai finally fell off his horse......
The people around him were startled and helped up in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
……
Ko Wentai was lucky, and he didn't fall any injuries.
It's just that at this moment, there is no luster in his eyes.
The tide is over......
Gao Changguo is finished......
The inheritance of our ancestors was lost in our own hands......
I'm Ko Wentai, I'm ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!!
"Your Majesty." The advisor who had previously proposed to turn to the Turks said: "For the sake of now, we can only abandon the city." ”
"Impossible!" Lu Wentai said with red eyes: "This king will definitely live and die with the royal city!" ”
Maybe this is the last stubbornness in Ko Wentai's heart.
"Your Majesty." The strategist persuaded: "The abandonment of the city is only temporary, and when we turn back, we will unite the Turkic army and take it back, wouldn't it be better to take it back?" They Tang Army came over a long journey, so they can't stay and not leave, right? Even if they do keep people stationed at that time, it will only be a small part. ”
After hearing this, Ko Wentai's face finally softened a little.
Seemingly......
Makes sense, huh?
Even if he Li Shimin really wants to keep people, he will only die about 10,000 or 20,000.
When the Turkic army comes together, won't it be snatched back immediately?
Although it is a big price to pay, it is better than completely destroying the country!
Thinking of this, Ko Wentai got back on his horse and quickly returned to the palace.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Li Shimin led the army to the palace of Gaochang Kingdom.
Before, the main force of Gao Changguo was basically sent to guard the city gate, and there was basically no decent defense on the side of the palace.
And after learning that their home was completely defeated, these soldiers guarding the palace also lost their fighting spirit completely.
didn't even make a decent resistance, and was easily taken down by the Tang army.
It's just that when they entered the palace, they found that Ko Wentai was gone.
The rest of the royal family is still there, but he is missing the king.
It seems that Koji Wentai should have run away.
This made Li Shimin feel a little regretful.
Defeated the other country, only to let their king run away.
It feels like pulling out and not wiping, which seriously destroys the sense of ceremony.
Fortunately, it's not a big deal.
Ko Wentai fled, and in Li Shimin, this was defined as automatic abdication.
Then the new King of Gaochang, the younger brother of Ko Wentai, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in place of his eldest brother.
By the way, he told Li Shimin about the secret passage of the palace.
For Ko Wentai's betrayal, he was very unhappy in his heart!
Since you dare to be the first year of junior high school, don't blame my brother for being fifteen!
Li Shimin immediately sent Cheng Chumo and others to pursue.
Next, it's Li Shimin's favorite 'unboxing' time.
Although Gaochang is a small country compared to Datang, after seeing the treasury of Gaochang Kingdom, Li Shimin still silently wiped his tears in his heart......
Look at the boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, jade, and so on.
This is what the treasury should look like!!
There's not much to say.
Move!
This time he brought an army of 100,000 with him, but he didn't plan to let them fight.
After all, there is such an anti-heaven killing weapon as black powder, and it is impossible to use so many people to fight.
Most of these soldiers were actually here to work as coolies.
But this coolie, they are doing it happily!
Although these things have nothing to do with them, don't you see that Your Majesty's face is about to bloom with a smile!
Your Majesty is so happy, can your treatment be worse?
And this battle is too easy, there is no danger to talk about!
When the final results were counted, the smile in Li Shimin's eyes couldn't be hidden at all!
This trip to Gaochang Kingdom is simply a big profit!
These harvests can not only pay off the national debts released before, but even connect the military expenses to fight the Turks!
There's even leftovers!
It's a great deal!
The next step is to deal with the governance of Gao Changguo.
Although he said that he would arrest everyone back to work before he came, he was actually just talking.
There are so many people in Gao Changguo, and it would be a waste to really get all of them back.
When the time comes, the people of Gaochang will go to the national airspace, won't such a big place be wasted?
Don't look at Gaochang Country is not a big country, but the geographical location is of great significance.
Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Silk Road, and it is self-evident how big the oil and water in it is.
After taking Gaochang, you can stuff this sufficient oil and water into Datang's pocket!
This is definitely a shot in the arm for Datang, which is now in deficit in the treasury!
The way to deal with it is also very simple, Li Shimin has already discussed it with Fang Xuanling and them before coming.
In the future, there will be no Gaochang Kingdom in this world, only Gaochang County of the Tang Empire.
At the same time, Li Shimin set up the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which was specifically responsible for this part.
Regarding Li Shimin's almost robber behavior, the royal family of Gaochang Kingdom was also helpless.
Now that his life is in the hands of others, if he has any unhappiness and resentment, he can only swallow his stomach......
Moreover, after seeing the divine power of the Tang Dynasty's weapons today, these Gaochang royal families were already frightened, how could they dare to have any other thoughts......
Of course.
Just because people don't get away doesn't mean they can't find something to do.
For example, the original purpose of this line is cotton.
Originally, Li Shimin planned to go back first after conquering Gaochang Kingdom this time, and bring back the cotton by the way.
But now it seems that there is no need for this, and it is completely possible to directly change to the Turks!
Li Shimin summed up this idea with Cao Ze, and Cao Ze said that it could be rectified!
And the cotton doesn't need to be brought back to Datang, and the processing industry of the textile mill or something is directly organized here.
Just go back and transport the finished product directly to Datang.
Gaochang County will be the first cotton textile base of Datang in the future!
If you fight the Turks, the remaining bombs at hand are a little insufficient.
It's not a big problem, though.
Li Shimin immediately appointed Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and others to return to Datang.
In this way, the Tang army was temporarily stationed in Gaochangguo.
After they bring the bombs, they can go directly to the Turks!
During the time they were stationed, they were not idle.
On the one hand, he sent troops to manage the people of Gaochang Kingdom to make cotton, and on the other hand, he found some skilled craftsmen from the local area and began to build the kind of loom that he had drawn before.
After the textile mill is up, it can be put into production directly!
One morning a few days later, Cheng Chumo returned.
It's just that the clothes on his body are torn in several places, and he looks gray.
And next to him, there was a desperate look of Ko Wentai......
It's not much better than Ko Wentai.
Li Shimin was immediately happy, and he couldn't laugh out loud until he endured it.
"Yo, why did you kid look like this?" Kusawa was suddenly happy.
"Don't mention it." Cheng Chumo said depressedly: "This grandson is so fucking able to run, and Huaiyu and I almost lost it." Fortunately, I am witty enough to ...... with them."
Cheng Chumo talked about it, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
talked about how brave he was and how brave he was, and how brave he was in the end to capture Ko Wentai and others.
Cao Ze, Li Shimin and others didn't interrupt, just watched him perform.
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so the power should be relaxed.
"So?" After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, Cao Ze made up a knife with a smile: "Our Young Master Cheng is so wise and brave, why did he still look like this bear in the end?" ”
Cheng Chumo's expression froze suddenly, and his little eyes were full of resentment.
"Don't mention it...... Then something happened and we and they both fell into the ditch......"
