"Kiyono Strongwall? It seems that Gao Chang has been prepared for a long time! Hou Junji looked at the empty pasture and couldn't help but snort coldly.

The Tang army crossed seven thousand miles to expedition to Gaochang, and the burden of grain and grass was extremely heavy, although there was compressed dry food, the grain and grass of the Tang army could only be used for about a month at most, and eating on the enemy was the most important strategy of the Tang army, and obviously this time Ju Wentai Xue Wanjun frowned and said: "Ju Wentai has always been ambitious, since he dares to provoke the Tang Dynasty, he has naturally been prepared for this move of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"It's a pity that there is no ambition, but it will only harm Gaochang! Our army's rations were enough to last a month, and the city of Gaochang could withstand our army for a few days. Hou Junji sneered.

"Report! Gao Chang is coming! Suddenly, a scout hurried over and delivered a military report to Hou Junji.

"Gaochang envoy?" The generals couldn't help but be stunned.

Hou Junji laughed and said: "It seems that Ju Wentai really can't sit still, so let's listen to what he has to say." ”

Soon, a high-speed envoy who was neither humble nor arrogant on the surface, but his flickering eyes revealed the panic in his heart.

"I've seen all the generals of the Celestial Empire! Gaochang and Datang have always been friendly, I don't know why Datang raised troops to attack Gaochang for no reason, aren't you afraid of the cold heart of the Western Regions? The envoy of Gaochang said sharply.

Although he knew that the two armies would not fight each other, when he saw the lineup of the 100,000 army of the Tang Dynasty, the confidence in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Hou Junji stared at the envoy of Gaochang and sneered: "Attack Gaochang for no reason? Gaochang intercepted the Tang envoys sent by the Western Regions countries for no reason, blocked the Silk Road, and disregarded His Majesty's order to raise troops to attack Yanqi for no reason, His Majesty gave him the opportunity to let him go to Chang'an to defend himself, but he said that he was ill, and today's sword and soldier disaster can be said to be Gaochang's self-inflicted, and he can't complain about the Tang Dynasty. ”

The envoy of Gaochang hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, these are misunderstandings, Gaochang has never intended to offend the Tang Dynasty, my king is indeed seriously ill, and he fainted to the ground not long ago, it is really not appropriate to travel thousands of miles to Chang'an." ”

"Don't you think it's pointless to say this now, let's say, what did Ju Wentai let you bring! If it's just this nonsense, you can go back. Hou Junji waved his hand.

The envoy of Gaochang said with a stiff face: "My king said that Gaochang is willing to be with the Tang Dynasty forever, willing to abide by the Tang silk system, and also ask the Tang Dynasty to strike the army, so as not to hurt the peace." ”

"If Gao Chang had known each other like this, why did we have to travel a long distance and 100,000 soldiers would suffer such crimes." Hou Junji sighed.

The envoy of Gaochang was overjoyed, handed over a tray, lifted the silk cloth, and suddenly a plate of dazzling diamonds greeted the eyes of the generals, each of which was comparable to giving it to Ashina Helu.

"I will definitely not let the generals suffer this crime in vain, this is a little bit of caution on the part of the king of my family, if the Tang Dynasty strikes the army, the king of my family will have a good reward, and there will be a heavy gift to the Khan." The envoy of Gaochang said respectfully.

Hou Junji watched the Gaochang envoy holding a diamond worth 10,000 gold to show it to the generals, and when he turned to Merton's side, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really ridiculous, I can just wait, you actually use the Mo family's products to buy the ink sacrifice wine, it's a big joke in the world." ”

The generals couldn't help but smile when they heard this, diamonds are indeed very valuable, and they are speculated to be sky-high, but diamonds are produced in Mojia Village, and Mo Jiazi has never seen any diamonds, how can he be moved, Gao Chang made a big joke this time.

"Mojia Village, Mojiazi!" The envoy of Gaochang was not only startled when he heard this, but obviously had heard of the reputation of the Mo family.

In fact, in the Western Regions, the reputation of the Mo family can be said to be in full swing, but the goods produced in the Mojia Village are worth a lot of money in the Western Regions, who can have the goods of the Mojia Village, it represents wealth and status, and at the same time, the reputation of the Mo family in the Western Regions can not help but represent wealth, but also represents terror, the battle of Tuyuhun, the Mo family predicted the day of the Tengu in advance, and used gunpowder to reverse the yin and yang, which can be spread in the Western Regions, and there are all kinds of legends and rumors.

The envoy of Gaochang couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time the king miscalculated, of course, Ju Wentai's miscalculation was not to use diamonds to buy the Mo family, but the determination of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty even sent the Mo family who controlled the gunpowder to Gaochang, it is conceivable that the Tang Dynasty is bound to win this battle.

Hou Junji waved his hand and said to the disheartened envoy of Gaochang: "You go and tell Ju Wentai that if you want to keep Gaochang, let him give up resistance, and at the same time tie himself out of the city, and go to Chang'an with this general to ask Tian Khan for guilt, maybe there will be a way to live." ”

Seeing the envoy of Gaochang retreating in embarrassment, Hou Junji swept the tray in his hand, and couldn't help flashing a trace of greed, but he snorted coldly in his heart: "Gaochang is really rich, just a few diamonds want to buy the general, once the general lays down Gaochang, all the treasures are not yet given." ”

After the envoys of Gaochang left, Hou Junji said to the generals: "Now that Gaochang has been prepared and sent people to sue for peace, what do you think our army should do now?" ”

Xue Wanjun arched his hand and said: "General, Ju Wentai is not credible, this person has been vacillating between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks before, and now that my army is in the city, he naturally whispers for peace, once he waits for reinforcements from the Western Turks, he will definitely turn his face immediately." ”

Niu Jinda echoed: "Yes, not to mention that we are far away from the Tang Dynasty, there is not enough food and grass, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of grain and grass, once it drags on for a long time, my army may be extremely passive." ”

Hou Junji sneered: "Our army has crossed thousands of miles, exhausted countless money and food, and has gone through hardships, how can we quit because of Ju Wentai's words." ”

"The general is wise!" The generals agreed, and now Datang is ready to send arrows, and this battle can only be done by conquering Gaochang.

"As for the problem of grain and grass, the cities of Gaochang have been prepared for me, Ju Wentai thinks that the Gaochang strong wall and Qingye will be able to make the Tang Dynasty retreat in the face of difficulties, but he doesn't know the intention of the general, as long as the Gaochang city is broken, it will save the Tang Dynasty more runaway." Hou Junji sneered, and with a finger in his hand, he pointed to the city closest to the Tang Army.

"Field City!" The generals looked at the map and couldn't help frowning.

Tiandi City is the acropolis of Gaochang City, it is the only way to Gaochang, Tiandi City bears the heavy responsibility of guarding Gaochang, and the natural city is thick and strong, which is a difficult bone to gnaw.

"Field City is not easy to fight!" Xue Wanjun recalled the military report about Tiandi City and couldn't help frowning.

Hou Junji laughed and said: "If it was the past, it would naturally not be easy to fight, but now that there are firearms supervisors, Tiandi City can last for a long time." ”

Merton arched his hand and said, "The last general will definitely go all out!" ”

Hou Junji said solemnly: "It's not to go all out, but to take the field city, this battle can't help but be related to the grain and grass of our army, but also related to the follow-up actions of our army, if you can't even take the small field city, how to capture Gaochang City." ”

Capturing Tiandi City can not only raise enough grain and grass for the Tang army, but also allow the Tang army to have a city as a base, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and there is no room for loss.
