A group of ministers gathered around Qu Wentai and started talking.
"After all, we and Datang are allies, and Datang will never do things too far."
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as we are willing to agree to their request, they will stop."
Hearing these words, Li Yubo laughed. .??.
"stop?"
"Now that we've reached this point, who will stop?"
When he said this, Li Yubo's voice was filled with despair.
At this moment, she also regretted not saying anything just now.
If she could speak in time, how could she end up in the current situation.
The more she thought about this, the angrier she became.
At this moment, the look she looked at Yin Zhao was filled with resentment.
If it weren't for this guy's nonsense, how could Gaochang be in the situation it is in today?
Li Yubo took a long breath and then said: "My lord, you are really confused."
"The Prince of the Tang Dynasty is an ordinary person."
"He almost wiped out all of Qiuci before. Do you think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty reprimanded him?"
Li Yubo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "And our Gaochang Kingdom is much stronger than the Qiuci Kingdom. What will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty say for us?"
When he heard these words, Qu Wentai was also completely disappointed.
He took Li Yubo's hand and said, "Princess, please think of a solution quickly."
Li Yubo shook his head and said: "The matter has progressed to this point, and there is nothing I can do about it."
After hearing this, Qu Wentai also had a sad look on his face.
But soon, he reacted.
He held Li Yubo's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw and said: "Li Chengqian respects you so much. If you step forward, he will definitely cease the war. He will definitely do it."
Come forward yourself?
Li Yubo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, are you joking with me?"
"I am not the princess of the current Tang Dynasty, but the princess of the previous dynasty."
"Datang The prince called me aunt just to show his face, do you really think I have that much face?"
Is Li Yubo a fool?
Of course she is not.
If so, it would be impossible for her to survive in Gaochang on her own after the country is destroyed.
She was even later canonized by Li Shimin and became the current princess.
Li Yubo shook his head and said: "If your Majesty wants to calm down the anger of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should go and talk to the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty in person."
Hearing this, Qu Wentai gritted his teeth tightly and stood up slowly.
"Now it seems that this is the only way it can be."
"I'm going to find the Prince of Tang Dynasty..."
Seeing this, Yin Zhao spoke again: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you be like..."
"shut up!"
Without waiting for others to speak, Li Yubo roared at Yin Zhao: "You have repeatedly persuaded the king to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty. How do you feel about it?"
How powerful is the Tang Dynasty today?
How many people in this world can rival him?
Anyone who is not a fool can see it now.
The best choice for Gaochang is to cling to Datang's lap and develop steadily under the protection of Datang.
In this way, not only will the quality of life of the people be improved, but they will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
They, the powerful, can also enjoy their wealth in peace and contentment.
But this Yin Zhao was good, thinking about plotting against Tang Dynasty all the time.
Is Datang so calculating?
If it was so easy to calculate, would Datang still have such a huge territory today?
At this moment, Li Yubo was too lazy to talk to Yin Zhao.
She looked straight at Qu Wentai and said, "Gaochang's country is so weak that it is unable to compete with the Tang Dynasty."
"To put it bluntly, someone can destroy us with just a raise of their hands."
"Where did you get the courage to even think about competing with the Tang Dynasty?"
After hearing these words, Qu Wentai also regretted it.
But what's the use of regretting now?
Datang has launched an attack, and it has already made up its mind to eliminate itself.
At this moment, Qu Wentai seemed to have been drained of all his strength.
He stood up slowly and walked slowly outside the palace.
At this time, Gaochang's palace guards were so suppressed by the Liangzhou soldiers that they could not even lift their heads.
The palace wall was about to fall, and the general Astuta, who led the troops stationed at the palace, also had a bitter look on his face at this moment. .??.
He also secretly hated his king's stupidity and Yin Zhao's lack of brains.
Confront the Tang Dynasty?
Isn’t this seeking death or something?
Not long ago, when Li Chengqian swept through the Western Regions and massacred the Kucha Kingdom, Astuta saw with his own eyes the combat power of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers.
At that time, he said that the 20,000 Gaochang soldiers were probably not worth the 2,000 Liangzhou soldiers.
And today, reality has confirmed what he said.
Under the attack of two thousand Liangzhou soldiers, the 20,000 city defenders did not even have a chance to fight back, and were directly reached at the gate of the palace.
And looking at the situation in front of us, it doesn't take much, it will take at most a quarter of an hour for someone to break through.
It was just when this thought had just arisen in his mind.
There was a loud bang in my ears. Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a loud noise.
The next moment, a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the gate of the palace wall.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, the gates of the palace wall were gone, and even a piece of the palace wall was blown down.
"Enter!"
With a shout, countless Liangzhou soldiers wearing leather armor stepped into the palace from outside in neat battle formations.
They shot while walking, and exchanged ammunition while shooting. The close cooperation brought powerful firepower, which was no bigger than the belly of a little finger. Projectiles shoot out in all directions.
Some Gaochang soldiers who had no time to escape were pierced by projectiles almost instantly, and fell to the ground wailing in pain.
It was also at this time that a lieutenant next to Astuta couldn't bear it any longer.
He pulled Astuta's arm straight and said: "General, let's surrender. If we don't surrender, all our brothers will die!"
"Ah……"
Astuta couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Surrender? Do you think they will give you this opportunity?"
"Behind us is the palace. This is our last retreat."
"And the enemy is here to kill them all in order to destroy the country."
He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Today is the last day of my Gaochang Kingdom..."
And just when he was sighing, Qu Wentai came out of the palace.
He walked straight to the steps of the palace, opened his hands and said: "Stop it, stop it!"
After hearing this, Gao Changjun's side took the lead in stopping the counterattack.
The Liangzhou Army on the other side also stopped attacking under the command of Liu Qi.
Qu Wentai shouted directly to the crowd of Liangzhou Army: "I am Qu Wentai, King of Gaochang, and I want to meet His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
"It's easy to see my prince."
Liu Qi raised his head and said proudly: "Hand over the royal seal of Gaochang, and I will send you to see the prince."
Surrendering the royal seal is equivalent to surrendering the whole country.
But even in the face of the current situation, Qu Wentai really didn't want to take this path.
After all, Gaochang State was the foundation of the Qu family that took decades or hundreds of years to develop.
If he died in his hands, how could he have the face to meet his ancestors in the future?
Qu Wentai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Qidao: "General, we have had a relationship of monarch and ministers with the Tang Dynasty for decades, so we can't do anything wrong."
"Young lady's nonsense!"
Liu Qi raised the firing gun with one hand, pointed it at Qu Wentai and said, "In one sentence, hand over or not to hand over?"
