After King Zuoxian left, Ju Wentai gathered the ministers, and the country was dying, so it was better to surrender.

"Your Majesty, we can't surrender, what about the 300,000 troops of the Western Turks, our royal city is strong, and the 100,000 troops hold on to one place, and it is no problem to hold on for half a month." Marshal Gao Changguo stood up and shouted.

Ju Wentai's face was haggard, and he sighed helplessly: "So what? It's just a dying struggle, sooner or later the country will die, we can still leave a living mouth to settle a little rich and peaceful, really wait until the day when the Western Turks break the city, people said that they would come to slaughter the city. ”

All the ministers took a breath of cool air, the Turks are steppe people, and the grassland kills people and slaughters cities but inherits the style of the Huns, how can this fight with others?

But Marshal Gao Chang didn't see it that way: "Your Majesty, as long as we hold on for fifteen days, plus the ten days given by the Western Turks, we will have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and we don't have to lose our country or surrender." ”

What the???

"Long Shuai, please quote." Looking at the confident appearance of the first military talent under his subordinates, Ju Wentai was looking forward to the other party giving him a glimmer of light.

"The Western Turks have an army of 300,000, we can't defeat them, so we need to find allies."

"The Western Turks are the overlords of my Western Regions, who dares to contend with them? Who will help us? The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are scattered and cannot be counted on. ”

"No, let's find the powerful, the Northern Hui, they are behind the Western Turks, at this time the Western Turkic army of 300,000 is fully dispatched, the country is empty, what if the Hui Hui stabbed us in the back when we were in the middle of a fierce battle?

Can they go back to the division to rescue? ”

As soon as Long Shuai said this, everyone suddenly realized that it was really possible, long-distance friendship and close attack were common strategies, and if the Hui were willing to form an alliance, then no matter which of the two countries the Western Turks dealt with, there would be a danger behind them.

Ju Wentai said worriedly: "But there are many Western Turks, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out at that moment." ”

"No, 100,000 troops held on to the royal city for fifteen days, and there were 300,000 Western Turks, and the consumption of people eating horses and chewing was not small, and they couldn't afford it.

As long as our messengers can run in quickly to report back the message, then anything is possible. ”

Everyone nodded and praised the wit of the handsome, Ju Wentai gritted his teeth, fought hard, maybe he could keep the throne and wealth, and it was too difficult to accept that he really wanted to be a civilian in the end.

"Send Lord Zhixing as an envoy, hide the horse quickly, and quickly rush to Hui to ask for help, and tell the Hui lord that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, Gaochang is destroyed, and the Western Turks will not go north to deal with Hui Hui."

Ten days later, the Western Turk Mohe was furious: "What? Gaochang children dare to play me? said that he was ready to surrender, but now he is holding on to the city?

The legend of the Khan decreed that the army marched westward and killed directly to the city of Gaochang Wang, if they dared to resist, after the city was broken, there would be no living mouth. ”

Mo Helu was simply angry in his heart, the reason why he remembered the soldiers who surrendered without a fight was because considering the consumption of food on the battlefield, the preparation was hasty, how could there be 300,000 people of grain and grass, only enough for 200,000 people, and it was necessary to fight quickly.

I wanted to scare the other party and surrendered, I didn't need to die to sit on the ground and divide the money, but who knew that I was played by the bald old man, damn it, I should kill!

In three days, there was almost no resistance, and the 300,000 troops of the Western Turks were killed under the gate of the Gaochang king.

"Ju Wentai came out to die!"

King Zuo Xian called war under the city, as a messenger, when he was the first envoy, he was fine, the other party was about to be scared to pee, and said that he was ready to dedicate the city to the city in ten days, but now it is good, he actually reversed himself, not only played the Great Khan, the first to play is his own messenger.

"Our lord has a lot of opportunities, how can you see it if you want to?" Gaochang Marshal Long Jing said with a smile.

"Shameless villain, wait, this king will definitely personally take off Ju Wentai's head, and then there will be no need to rap with you."

Turning the horse back to the camp, King Zuo Xian immediately gathered men to start attacking the city, and the Western Turks wanted King Zuo Xian to be the vanguard, one day earlier than the main force.

A day later, Mo Helu arrived, and saw that the army was fighting bloodily, and he was in a good mood, and Ju Wentai wanted to defend it with a lonely city? It's looking for death.

At the moment when the Gaochang War was raging, the envoys sent to the north finally arrived at the Hui royal court.

Hui Da Khan is not confused, quietly listened to what happened to Gao Changguo, his heart tightened, Gao Chang and the Tang Lantian Marquis have a cotton deal, the relationship is good, how to fight, I also sent an envoy to go, I don't know if I was involved in the arson, don't mess with that evil star, I was a lonely hero when I was a teenager, and now the general trend has become who dares to provoke?

"Don't worry, the Western Turks raised troops for no reason, and only the Tang Dynasty could compete with him on the grassland, but the relationship between the two countries was ambiguous, and now only the two countries can survive if they join forces.

I will gather 100,000 soldiers and horses to send troops to rescue, as long as you can hold on, then the Western Turks will not succeed. ”

In ten days, in order to attack the city, 60,000 people died in the Western Turks, and 40,000 people died in the head of the city, Gaochangguo, and both sides had already killed red-eyed.

"Great Khan, our army is running out of food, and if we don't break the city, I'm afraid it won't last a few days." The quartermaster said helplessly.

Mo Helu was silent, how could he not know about this matter, he had already known that it would be good to hit the other party by surprise, this is good, in order to be greedy, he gave the other party ten more days.

Led people to the Gaochang King City in person, Mo Helu saw Ju Wentai with a tired face.

"Ju Wentai, surrender, I still have 250,000 troops, and you 60,000 can't hold it."

"Hahahaha! What an army of 250,000 people, if you come to persuade you to surrender at this time, you must not be able to hold it!

An army of 300,000 people will eat you every day, and you will be poor, dare to come and destroy the country? Mo Hedu, you don't think about it in this life, and besides, I have prepared a big gift for you, which must have worked at this time.

If you don't get out, you'll be a lost dog! Ju Wentai laughed wildly.

Mo Helu's heart tightened after hearing this, and he always felt that there was something he had overlooked, the other party didn't seem to be bluffing, what would this gift be?

Puzzled in his heart, Mo Hexuan gritted his teeth and said: "Hugh should be proud, with a large army in hand, why worry about food and grass?" Since you don't know the current affairs, then don't blame Ben Khan for being ruthless, and you will concentrate all your forces in the royal city to defend it, then we will go and occupy all the places around you, and rob everyone in Gaochang of their rations, and see if your city is hard, or is it the steel knife of my Turkic warriors? ”

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, and he was going to turn his horse back to the camp.

When Ju Wentai heard this, he panicked, "Slow, Mo Hedu, if you dare to rob my people, then your Western Turks are waiting to be destroyed."

I'm not afraid to tell you, twenty days ago, this king has already sent someone to contact the Hui, if you dare to send the whole army to destroy my Gaochang, then the Huihui people will destroy your Turkic court to avenge us, and if you don't go back, hum, you will be homeless. ”

What the???

The Western Turkic side was completely stunned, the Gaochang people were so shameless, it turned out that they had dragged on for so long for this?

Urgently returning to the king's tent, Mo Helu gathered all his men.

Many people heard that the nest was in danger, and they all said that they wanted to return to help, this time the whole army was carried away by wealth, and they forgot to arrange to guard their homes, thinking that no one dared to provoke the overlord of the Western Turkic steppe, damn the Hui people.

Only King Zuoxian, this person is unwilling, tens of thousands of people have died, and he is about to succeed, so he gives up?

Coincidentally, at this time, the Western Turks arrived quickly, which completely confirmed what Gao Chang said, and the Hui people had swept through one-third of the country's territory and were about to hit the royal city.

"Great Khan, his subordinates are willing to lead 100,000 horses to attack Gaochang." King Zuo Xian knelt down on one knee and pleaded.
