In the royal city, Qu Wenhe returned home, lost his temper, scolded several maids for poor service, and then sat slumped on the ground. Although there was a soft cushion under him, the cold air still hit Qu Wenhe's forehead.
He thought that he was wholeheartedly planning for Gaochang, but Qu Wentai didn't understand him at all. The other party always acted like he didn't care, which really made him heartbroken.
For him, it was a helpless strategy to lead the Tang army into the country before. At that time, Yin Wu occasionally violated the border and provoked, the Western Turks were busy with civil war, and Gaochang was isolated and helpless. Only with the help of the Tang Dynasty could he be independent and self-reliant.
Now, Yin Wu has died, the Tang Dynasty has taken over, and huge things are watching from the side. How can we sit in the royal court and enjoy it.
Without Yinwu, there was no longer a buffer between Gaochang and the Tang Dynasty. Now that it is difficult to contact the Western Turks, how can we resist the ambition of the Tang Emperor?
The current situation of the northern grasslands will be the end of Gaochang in the future!
In the early years, Qu Wenhe went to Chang'an and followed the previous dynasty to pay homage to the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the Sui Dynasty treated Gaochang with great courtesy because of Tuyuhun. However, once the dynasty rose, Gaochang was destroyed. In this era, if you cannot be independent, you will
To drive away tigers and devour wolves, keep your body neutral, and you will survive for a long time.
It's a pity that Qu Wentai didn't listen to him at all!
He could even see that in the future, the Tang army would approach the city and Gaochang's prosperity would be reduced to ruins.
"Can't sit still and wait for death!"
Qu Wenhe was determined to drive away the Tang army no matter what. Only when the Tang army left Gaochang could he temporarily feel at ease.
With this thought in mind, Qu Wenhe left his house and went to Sanqianyuan to find the overlapping branch.
"You want me to help you?" Duozhi looked at Qu Wenhe and said, "Didn't I already promise you that I would help you?"
"Not enough." Qu Wen congratulated: "With the Tang army on the side, you are still sitting on pins and needles. How about you and I join forces to drive away the Tang army and force them to leave Gaochang. From now on, I will be in charge of the great government of Gaochang. You can help me outside and do everything you can."
The power of a hundred miles in radius!"
Hearing this, Diezhi pondered deeply, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. When he thought of Su Lie who had come a few days ago, he felt that the probability of success was low.
"If you expel the Tang army, you will definitely attract the main force of the Tang army. How will you deal with it then?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't want to be hostile to the Tang army. I have made up my mind to control Qu Wentai and seize the power of Gaochang. At that time, I will explain to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty army arrives, it is up to you whether to send troops to protect it.
In a moment of thought." Qu Wenhe took the risk.
He was betting that the Tang Dynasty would not dare to break up with the Western Turks.
After he controlled Gaochang, expelled the Tang army, and then sent envoys to Chang'an to confess and say good things, he believed that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would acquiesce to this fact and would not send troops to him for the sake of Qu Wentai.
"What can I get?" Dizhi asked, tilting his head.
Unlike Qu Wenhe, he was afraid of the Tang army, but not to the extent of being afraid. At worst, he would lead his troops to leave after doing this, and would not fight the Tang army head-on. Then after a few years, he would come back. The Western Regions are vast and rich in resources.
Where grazing is not grazing.
"Half of the women and children of Gaochang are sent away!"
Duizhi's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Compared with gold and silver, population is his favorite thing, especially fertile women.
Qu Wenhe stretched out his hand, and the other party also stretched out his palm and struck each other hard.
A few days later, when the wind and dust started to rise, King Qu Wentai of Gaochang led a group of people to go hunting, accompanied by Zhang Xiong, Qu Wenhe and other important domestic officials.
Su Lie was also invited and accompanied him.
"drink!"
Qu Wentai's ten arrows missed nine, which was extremely embarrassing. He didn't know how to explain it. In the end, Zhang Xiong rode his horse to catch the hunter and served him to Qu Wentai, which solved the embarrassment.
"General Su, may I ask how His Majesty the Emperor's hunting skills are?" Qu Wentai asked.
Su Lie smiled faintly and said in a proud tone: "My lord raised an army when he was young, and followed Emperor Gaozu to put an end to the chaos in the world. He is skilled with bows and horses, and his arrows hit wherever he thinks. In the past, he hunted Turks for profit, and he was brave and heroic in this world.
There’s nothing like it.”
Hearing this, Qu Wentai was shocked and smiled.
Qu Wenhe pursed his lips, his eyes becoming more and more dissatisfied. He didn't criticize people without exposing their shortcomings, and he didn't slap people in the face when he hit them. This Su Lie really doesn't have any eyesight. You'll die if you blow a few words.
When they were hunting in the wild, soldiers and horses were in a hurry, but they saw the earth suddenly shaking.
"What's going on?" Qu Wentai looked confused, his fat face trembling slightly.
"Report!" Gaochang soldiers rushed over and shouted: "Your Majesty, Shiluo soldiers and horses are attacking!"
"Ah?" Qu Wentai looked confused, "I have no enmity with him, so why would he come to attack me?"
Qu Wenhe's eyes flashed with excitement, and he suppressed it several times before he could show off his excitement.
Su Lie glanced at Qu Wenhe meaningfully and watched the development of the situation.
"Zhang Xiong!" Qu Wentai shouted.
"The end is here!"
"Defend the enemy!"
"yes!"
There was a rumbling sound, and Zhang Xiong led his army to leave.
The ministers of Gaochang looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, and they were still in a state of ignorance.
Zhang Xiong led his troops to stop the invading overlapping troops with great momentum.
"Why did you invade my territory of Gaochang?"
Gaochang and Shiluo always entered the river without violating the river. Although there were discords, they did not force their armies to invade each other.
Duezhi said: "At the invitation of the Prime Minister of your country, please come to help Gaochang."
Congratulations Quwen!
Zhang Xiong's eyes flashed fiercely, how dare this bitch dare to rebel!
"Our country has a harmonious government and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You don't need to worry too much. Please leave here."
"Hahaha." Duozhi laughed, and immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense between you and me. If you can stop me this time, Qu Wenhe's life or death has nothing to do with me. If you can't stop me, I will also give you a gift."
It’s a great pleasure. It’s so rich that I’m salivating.”
"Dog thieves!" Zhang Xiong cursed angrily, and then led the crowd on horseback to kill him.
This battle is inevitable.
"Well done!" Duizhi shouted, "descendants, capture Gaochang, and the women and children will be within your grasp!"
"Yahhoo!"
"Oh hoo!"
At that time, Luo soldiers and horses roared and killed the soldiers and horses of Gaochang. Although their soldiers did not have hard bows or sharp knives, they were better than strong horses and iron hoofs, and they were also skilled in wandering warfare. Although Zhang Xiong had the talent of a general and the wisdom of mastermind, he was cunning.
It was difficult for a woman to make a living without rice, and Gaochang was protected by the Tang army. The soldiers and horses were sparse in the battle formation for a long time, and she was like an embroidered lady. She was unable to capture the sword and had no power to control the horse.
After a brief confrontation, except for Zhang Xiong's elite group, which was still able to resist one or two, the rest of the troops abandoned their formation and fled. The fear of war was like the wind and rain. One of them fled, and several others died when they heard the wind.
The overlapping branches seized the opportunity, abandoned Zhang Xiong, and tried to break the formation locally. Within half an hour, they defeated Gao Chang's army and drove straight in, heading straight for the king's tent.
Its momentum is like thunder, unstoppable.
Zhang Xiong was ashamed and angry, so he rode back to help, but was blocked by Shi Luo's soldiers and horses. He could not advance even an inch for a while. He could only fight for life and death and would not retreat.
Not long after, overlapping troops rushed into the king's tent and surrounded Qu Wentai. Although there were royal guards in front of him to resist, the disparity between troops and horses was so great that the outcome could be determined at a glance, which made people even more frightened.
"Die Zhi, why are you here?" Qu Wentai subconsciously leaned towards Su Lie beside him. The reason why he could persist was entirely because he believed in Su Lie's existence. In the past, he would have already begged for mercy on the ground at this moment.
"Because of him." Duozhi glanced at Su Lie, who was calm and relaxed. He did not dare to provoke Su Lie, but pointed at Qu Wen to congratulate him.
Everyone looked over and saw Qu Wenhe walking out slowly.
"You want to rebel?" Qu Wentai cursed, "I use you as my arm to assist in the affairs of the country and receive generous rewards. Why are you so disrespectful of kindness!"
Qu Wenhe sneered and said: "Kindness comes later, loyalty comes first. As a member of the royal family, I should think about Gaochang. Now, you are drunk and dreaming, and you have led Gaochang into a dead end. I am reopening a new country and continuing the rule of Gaochang!"
"You... are extremely shameless!"
Qu Wentai cursed loudly, wishing to break his bones and eat his flesh to relieve his hatred!
