Chapter 808: The Reputation of the Tang Dynasty (Part II)
Under the simultaneous march of the three armies of Pishan, Humi, and Qule, these three small countries were wiped out almost overnight, and all their royal families were killed, all the soldiers were slaughtered, and all the grain stored in the country was robbed.
As for the people or something, it's okay if they don't resist, but there are those who dare to say a word - punishment!
It's ruthless, it's so ruthless, if the fifteen-thousand-strong army passes through it, it may be an exaggeration to say that there is no grass, but it is real to say that there is no piece of armor.
Judging from the reports of spies from other countries, as long as the country that has been attacked by the Tang Dynasty army can find an iron nail in the people's homes, it will be regarded as the Tang army is dereliction of duty!
In more than ten days, the army led by Yu Chi Baolin crossed the border like locusts and swept away all the towns outside the Khotanese royal city, which made the countries of the Western Regions talk about Tang for a while.
"What to do? What the hell is going to do? Why hasn't there been news from the Western Turks yet? Li Yuanchang sat on the main seat of the Khotanese palace, looking at the group of Khotanese courtiers below, not to mention the entanglement in his heart.
Wei Chi Wumi's father and son fled far away from the desert, and the original plan was completely stillborn, but Li Yuanchang was unwilling to accept such a failure, so under the support of a group of Khotanese ministers who were afraid of being implicated, he Li Yuanchang became the acting lord of Khotan.
There is no way, the people of Khotanese need someone to fight the thunder, and when the Tang Dynasty comes, someone needs to come forward.
Of course, if Wei Chi Wumi's father and son come back in the future, Li Yuanchang is also an excellent shield, and all the responsibility can be pushed to this Tang prince, as long as he says that everything is bewitched by him, I believe that under the condition that the law does not blame the public, Wei Chi Wumi's father and son will not be able to kill them all.
"Lord, the news has been sent out for a month, I believe that the Western Turks should have received the news, but it takes time for them to reorganize their army, after all, they are a tribal way of survival, and it takes a certain amount of time to recruit soldiers." The leader of the forbidden army who was originally in Khotan stood up and said with relief.
"Hmph, it takes time to recruit soldiers, and when they have recruited people, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu's head will be taken off." Li Yuanchang snorted coldly and hooked his fingers at the 'maid' holding the gold, silver and jade cup beside him.
"Lord of the Kingdom!" The 'maid' walked on her knees, leaned over to Li Yuanchang's side, and gently held up the plate in her hand.
"Huh?!" Li Yuanchang frowned, looked at the crystal clear grapes on the plate, and kicked out: "Get out of ......, do you still need Lao Tzu to do these things himself?" ”
"Ah......h
This woman was originally a concubine in Yu Chiwu's secret harem, where would she do any work to serve people, and letting them serve people was purely Li Yuanchang's revenge.
Of course, the more reason is that Li Yuanchang needs to vent the fear in his heart, no one in the Western Regions knows better than him the attitude of the Tang army towards foreign races, and he knows that before killing all those foreign races who dare to go against the Tang Dynasty, Yu Chi Baolin's gang will not stop.
Will they show mercy to themselves, the Han King's subordinates? Will it leave a way for yourself to survive?
The prince of Khotan, in his own name, contacted the Western Turks and the countries of the Western Regions, what would be the consequences if those letters fell into the hands of the Tang army? What happens if these letters arrive in Chang'an?
Li Yuanchang didn't dare to imagine, he really didn't dare to imagine, so he was very irritable and wanted to kill, but in the broken place of Khotan, who could he, a prince from the Tang Dynasty, kill? If it weren't for his status as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, maybe he would have the ability to keep these Khotanese nobles, and this group of bastards would have pushed themselves to the position of the lord of the country?
Li Yuanchang was very aware of his current situation, and he knew that he must not be caught by Yu Chi Baolin and them, and another condition for not being caught was that he could not let Khotan destroy the country.
Only when Khotan has always existed, will he have a protective umbrella of his own and a capital that can negotiate with Li Er. Of course, if Khotan can really defeat the Western Regions Army of the Tang Dynasty, then it is not necessary to return to the Tang Dynasty with the army and drive Li Er from the throne.
"Lord, you better think of a way, Datang's army is about to fight, and it is less than three days away from us." The Khotanese envoy, or the prime minister of Khotan, who was once very unkind to Li Yuanchang, did not have the arrogance of the past at this time.
"Now it is this king who is asking you, not asking me to ask." Staring at the prime minister who deceived him to Khotan, Li Yuanchang said hatefully.
"Lord, we can't defeat the Tang Dynasty, and now the soldiers below don't have the courage to fight with the Tang Dynasty army at all, so whether we hold on or go out to meet the enemy, we have little chance of winning." The commander of the Khotanese Forbidden Army glanced at the prime minister and took over Li Yuanchang's words.
"What the hell do you mean, tell me clearly!" Li Yuanchang asked with a gloomy face. Damn guys, now that you know that you are afraid, where did the courage to confront Datang go, and where did the rhetoric when you bewitched yourself go? Why don't you bewitch Yu Chi Baolin now and let that stupid black guy return to Gaochang.
"Lord, what do you mean by the minister...... we can go to the Western Turks and leave this royal city to the Tang Dynasty, anyway, they will have to return sooner or later, and then we will come back and take over?" Prime Minister Khotan stood two steps forward and said.
"To the Western Turks?" Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, and he felt that this seemed to be a good idea.
When people are forced to a dead end, their brains are often very flexible, which may be the origin of the change when you are poor, and the change is the way to go.
Datang needs reputation, so what will be the consequences of losing a city with only people and no officials to Datang? At that time, this hot potato is afraid that it will be very difficult for Yu Chi Baolin and others to choose, right?
And as long as this city can hold back the Western Regions Army, he can come back with the Western Turkic army and surround them to the death, and when the time comes, ...... The opportunity to negotiate terms with Li Er came.
At some point, Li Yuanchang was a very smart man, and he knew how to use his identity, so he was very confident that he would be able to borrow troops in the Western Turks.
He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he can go to conquer Li Er under the banner of crusade, as long as he can promise heavy benefits to the Western Turks, such as land, wealth, and rights, it is estimated that the Western Turks will not refuse his request.
Anyway, Li Er's reputation for killing his brother and imprisoning his father has spread, and there is nothing wrong with crusading against him.
Left and right this time was caught by Yu Chi Baolin and them, and there was no good result when they went back to Datang, it was better to have a 'PUBG', maybe there was a glimmer of life, in case of success, I could also take revenge on Li Er's father and son, and live an emperor addiction.
