Chapter 1087: Gao Chang's Choice
"Father! Tiandi City has been captured by the Tang Army! In the palace of Gaochang, the crown prince Koji Zhisheng reported to the sickbed in fear.
Ju Wentai, who was on the sickbed, couldn't help but tremble, and after a long time, he said weakly: "How long has the Tang army captured Tiandi City!" ”
A trace of fear flashed in Lu Zhisheng's eyes and said: "Back to my father, the Tang army captured Tiandi City in only half a day. ”
"Half a day!" Ju Wentai couldn't help but be bitter, Tiandi City was an important town in Gaochang, and the city lord was Ju Wensheng of the Gaochang royal family, and there was no need to question the determination to resist, but now it was broken by the Tang army in only half a day.
"There is a scout report, there is a violent explosion in the direction of Tiandi City, thinking that the Tang army has used gunpowder." Koji Zhisheng said helplessly.
"How powerful is gunpowder?" Ju Wentai was terrified in his heart, Tiandi City only held out for half a day in the attack of the Tang army and gunpowder, Gaochang City was naturally better than Tiandi City, and how long could it last.
"Immediately seal all the city gates, and don't let the Tang army's gunpowder succeed!" Coincidentally, Ju Wentai also thought of this way to defend against gunpowder.
"Father, rest assured, the child has already ordered the soldiers." Prince Koji Zhisheng nodded.
Ju Wentai was a little relieved at this time, and lay on the sickbed weakly, without any strength.
"Father is recuperating with peace of mind, the child has already found the Qinglong true medicine for his father, and Gaochang still needs his father to be in charge to repel the Tang army!" Koji Zhisheng stretched out his hand, and a healer held a Qinglong true medicine, and now that the Tang army is attacking, Gaochang cannot lack his father.
The Qinglong True Medicine is extremely precious, and it is spread in the Western Regions countries, and most of the diseases can be seen immediately, and they can continue their lives at the very least!
Ju Wentai's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the Qinglong True Medicine, but he finally shook his head and refused the temptation to continue his life.
"Father!" Koji Zhisheng still wants to persuade again.
"My father's body knows that even if I take the Qinglong True Medicine, I am afraid that he will not live long, rather than this, it is better to use his father's life to calm the anger of Datang and fight for a glimmer of life for my son." Ju Wentai looked at Koji Zhisheng and said softly.
"Father, can't you?" Koji Zhisheng was shocked when he heard this, and strongly persuaded Ju Wentai to take the Qinglong True Medicine.
Ju Wentai laughed miserably: "Even if this medicine can really bring the dead back to life? If you are lucky for your father, I am afraid that you will be taken back to Chang'an City by the Tang Army, and Xiang Jieli will generally dance for the Tang Emperor and humiliate her life, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that you will be taken back by the Tang Army like Fu Yun, and it is already a fluke that your father can die on the throne with dignity. ”
It's night! Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, died, and the crown prince Koji Zhisheng ascended the throne as the king, and the entire Gaochang city was white-clothed.
"What, Ju Wentai is dead!"
In Tiandi City, Hou Junji looked at the Gaochang envoys and couldn't help but be surprised, the righteousness of their trip was to go to Chang'an to ask the Heavenly Khan for guilt, but they didn't expect that the army had not yet arrived in Gaochang City, and Ju Wentai was already dead.
"I guess I'm not scared to death by my army!" Xin Fang'er laughed and said arrogantly.
When Hou Junji heard this, he couldn't help but show a trace of pride, if it was rumored that his army had not yet arrived, he would scare the other king to death, which would definitely become a beautiful conversation.
When the envoys of Gaochang heard that Xin Fang'er was so stigmatized as the emperor, they immediately dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
"In this way, now the king of Gaochang is the crown prince Koji Zhisheng." Hou Jun Jidao.
The envoy of Gaochang nodded and said: "Lord Huishangshu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has succeeded to the throne overnight, and the current King of Gaochang is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Say it! What does Koji Zhisheng have to say, if it's all the nonsense before, forget it! Hou Junji waved his hand.
The envoy of Gaochang said stubbornly: "The king said that he has always been dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and the previous offending of the Tang Dynasty was done by the previous king, and he also asked Lord Shangshu to raise his noble hand, and in the future, Gaochang will definitely only look forward to the Tang Dynasty." ”
Hearing that Gao Chang was soft, the generals couldn't help laughing.
Hou Junji said proudly: "It's not impossible to let go of Koji Zhisheng, as long as he can tie his hands and come to the Tang Army in person to ask for his guilt, and the general will guarantee his safety." ”
"It's ............." The envoy of Gaochang suddenly said with a sad face.
Hou Junji sneered: "You just need to send a message to Lu Zhisheng, are you willing to let him choose by himself, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, Nian Zai Ju Wentai has just died, I will give Gaochang three days to mourn, if after three days, Gaochang still does not surrender, then don't blame General Ben for being polite." ”
"Lord Shangshu raises his noble hand!" The envoys of Gaochang begged for mercy again and again.
"Someone, send off!" Hou Junji waved his hand and said, now that Datang has Tiandi City as a foothold, it should be Gaochang who should be in a hurry.
"Please!" Xin Fang'er stepped forward and invited the Gaochang envoy out.
After the Gaochang envoy left, Hou Junji looked around at the generals and said loudly: "The whole army rests for three days, and after three days, regardless of whether Gaochang surrenders or not, immediately send troops to Gaochang City." ”
With Hou Junji's character, how can he care about the so-called etiquette, the Tang army crossed two thousand miles of Gobi, and marched for days to capture Tiandi City, the body has already been overdrawn, and now there is Tiandi City as a base, after three days of correction, the Tang Army will definitely return to its peak state, you must know that the next battle they will face is Gaochang City, known as the first heroic city in the Western Regions.
"Ink sacrifice wine, this time Gaochang City will look at you!" Hou Junji looked solemnly at Merton Dao this time.
Merton suddenly got up and arched his hand: "The firearms supervisor will definitely not live up to the general's expectations." ”
Xin Fang'er on the side couldn't help but show a sarcastic look on her face, but thinking about the power of gunpowder before, she couldn't help but swallow the sarcastic words on her lips.
In the Gaochang Palace, the new king of Gaochang Ji Zhisheng is pacing anxiously, if he inherited the Gaochang throne in normal times, he is naturally full of joy, but at this moment the Tang army is pressing, and the Gaochang throne is a hot potato! But he set him up on the fire and roasted him.
"Back to the king, the envoys sent to the Tang army have returned!" One of the generals reported.
Koji Zhisheng hurriedly greeted him and asked the envoy, "How is it, Tang Jun has agreed." ”
The envoy looked at Ko Zhisheng's expectant eyes, and couldn't help lowering his head and said: "Hou Junji said that as long as the king tied his hands and went to the Tang army to ask for guilt, he would let Gao Chang go." ”
Lu Zhisheng suddenly blushed and said: "It's just too deceitful, this king tied his hands to the Tang army, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer Gaochang without spending a single soldier." ”
"But the Tang army is strong, and with the help of gunpowder, Gaochang is really difficult to resist!" One official was worried.
"That is, I persuaded the first king back then, don't offend the Tang Dynasty, but the first king didn't listen, and now the disaster is coming."
"Even the Turks and Tuyuhun were defeated in the hands of the Tang army, and my Gaochang strength is even inferior to the two countries, this time, Gaochang is in a catastrophe."
In an instant, the entire Gaochang Palace was in mourning.
Koji Zhisheng's face was incomprehensible, he naturally wanted to keep Gao Chang, but once he angered the Tang Army, then his fate would probably end like a Fu Yun, but if he surrendered with his hands tied, of course, he could save his life, Gao Chang was probably destined to not be able to keep it, and the throne he just got was gone.
Just when Koji Zhisheng was in a dilemma, a sudden announcement made him see hope.
"King Qiyu, General Ashina Helu has already led the Turkic army to come, and he will arrive at Khan Futu City in a few days."
Koji Zhisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, the Western Turkic reinforcements arrived, and this time, Gaochang was saved.
