Chapter four hundred and ninety-fifth death struggle, who is ruthless
After King Zuo Xian left, Ju Wentai summoned all the ministers and said that the country was about to perish, so it would be better to surrender.
"Your Majesty, we cannot surrender. So what about the 300,000 Western Turks army? Our royal city is solid, and the 100,000 troops are in one place. It is no problem to hold it for half a month." The commander of Gaochang State stood up and shouted.
Ju Wentai looked haggard and sighed helplessly: "So what? Just struggle to death. The country will be destroyed sooner or later. We can still leave a living place to make a small fortune when we open the city and beg for surrender. When the Western Turks break through, they say they will come to massacre the city."
All the ministers took a breath. The Turks were grasslanders, and the murder and massacre of people on the grasslands inherited the style of the Huns. How could they fight with others?
But General Gaochang didn't think so: "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, without destroying the country or surrendering."
What???
"Ship Long asked for a famous quote." Looking at his first military capable man who was confident, Ju Wentai was looking forward to the other party giving him a glimmer of hope.
"We cannot defeat the 300,000 Western Turks army, so we need to find allies."
"The Western Turks are the overlords of our Western Regions. Who dares to compete? Who will help us? The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are in a mess and cannot count on them."
"No, let's look for those with strength. The Uighurs in the north are behind the Western Turks. At this time, the 300,000 troops of the Western Turks were fully dispatched, and the country is empty. What if the Uighurs stabbed them from the back when we were in full swing?
How could they not return to the army to rescue?”
After Long Shuai said this, everyone suddenly realized that it was really possible. Familiarity and near attacks are commonly used strategies. If the Uighurs are willing to form an alliance, no matter which Western Turks deal with the two countries, there will be danger behind it.
Ju Wentai said worriedly: "But there are many Western Turkic people, so we may not be able to hold on for that moment."
"No, the 100,000 army defended the royal city and insisted on fifteen days without any trouble. There were 300,000 Western Turks, and people ate horses and chewed, so they could not afford it.
As long as our messenger can quickly run into the Uighurs to report the news, then everything is possible."
Everyone nodded and praised the general's wit. Ju Wentai gritted his teeth and fought hard. Maybe he could still keep the throne and wealth. It would be too difficult to accept that he would be a civilian after he was beaten to the end.
"Send Lord Zhixing as an envoy, quickly hide his horse, and quickly rushed to the Huihe for help, telling the Huihe king that his lips had lost their teeth and cold teeth, Gaochang was destroyed, and the Western Turks were unable to protect themselves from going north to deal with the Huihe."
Ten days later, the Western Turkic Mo Hedu was furious: "What? Gaochang's son dared to play tricks on me? He agreed to surrender, but now he is defending Gucheng to the death?
It was said that the Khan ordered Yu to go west and fight directly to the Gaochang royal city. If they dare to resist, they will not leave any living mouths after the city is broken."
Mo Hedu was so angry that the reason why he remembered the defeat of the army without fighting was because considering the food consumption on the battlefield and the preparations were hasty, so there was no food for 300,000 people, which was only enough for 200,000 people. He had to fight quickly.
I wanted to scare the other party and surrender. I could only sit on the ground and share the money without a dead person, but who knew that I was fooled by the bald old man. Damn it, kill it!
In three days, there was almost no stop. The 300,000 Western Turks army rushed to the gate of Gaochang Royal City.
"Ju Wentai came out and died!"
King Zuo Xian called for war under the city. As an envoy, he was fine when he was on the mission. The other party was almost scared and timid. He said he was ready to offer the whole country to the city in ten days. Now, he actually went back on his word. Not only did he play knelt, but the first one was his envoy.
"Our country has a lot of trouble every day, how can you meet just by wanting?" Gaochang's general Long Jing said with a smile.
"Shameless villain, wait. I will definitely take Ju Wentai's head personally, and I will not need to ramble with you at that time."
After tying the horses back to the camp, Zuo Xianwang immediately summoned people to start attacking the city. The Western Turks wanted Zuo Xianwang as the vanguard, one day earlier than the main force.
A day later, Mo Hedu arrived and saw the army fighting passionately. He was in a great mood. Ju Wentai wanted to defend the dead with a lonely city? Is this a search for death.
Just when the war in Gaochang broke out, the envoys sent to the north of Uighurs finally arrived at the Uighurs' Royal Court.
The Uighur Khan was not confused. After listening to the experience of Gaochang Kingdom quietly, he felt nervous. Gaochang had a cotton deal with the Marquis of Lantian, the Tang Dynasty. He had a good relationship. Why did the fight start? He also sent an envoy to come. I don’t know if he was involved in the arson. Don’t mess with that evil star. He was a lone hero in his teens back then. Now the situation has become better. Who dares to mess with him?
"Don't worry, the Western Turks raised troops for no reason. The only one who could compete with him on the grassland was the Tang Dynasty, but their relationship was ambiguous. Now, only if we join forces with each other can we survive.
I will summon 100,000 troops to send troops to rescue me. As long as you can defend it, the Western Turks will not succeed."
In a full ten days, in order to conquer the city, 60,000 people died in the Western Turks, and 40,000 people died in Gaochang State on the top of the city. Both sides were already red in their eyes.
"Khan, our army has little food. If we don't break the city, we may not be able to hold on for a few days." The quarantine officer said helplessly.
Mo Hedu was silent. How could he not know about this? He would have caught the other party off guard if he had known. Now, he gave the other party ten more days to get greedy for a small advantage.
He brought people to the Gaochang Royal City in person, and Mo Hedu saw Ju Wentai, who was full of fatigue.
"Ju Wentai, surrender. I still have a 250,000 army, and you 60,000 people can't defend it."
"Hahahaha! What a 250,000 army. If you come to persuade the surrender at this time, I guess you can't hold on!
A army of 300,000 will make you poor even if you eat every day. How dare you destroy the country? Mo Hedu, you will never think about it in your life. Moreover, I have prepared a big gift for you, and I guess it must have worked at this time.
If you don’t get out of here, you will become a betrayal dog!" Ju Wentai laughed wildly.
After hearing this, Mo Hedu felt nervous. He always felt that he had ignored something. The other party didn't seem to be bluffing. What would this gift be?
Uncle understood what the other party was relying on, Mo Hedu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be proud. With a large army in hand, why worry about food and grass? Since you don't know the current affairs, don't blame me for being cruel. You concentrate all your troops in the royal city to defend the city. Then we will occupy all the places around you and steal the food from everyone in Gaochang to see if it is your city hard or my Turkic warrior's steel knife hard?"
After saying that, he didn't say much, and he just wanted to return to the camp.
When Ju Wentai heard this, he panicked, "Slowly, Mo Hedu, if you dare to rob my Chinese, then your Western Turks will be destroyed.
I am not afraid to tell you that twenty days ago, I have sent someone to contact the Uighurs. If you dare to send out your entire army to destroy my Gaochang, then the Uighurs will destroy your Turkic court and avenge us. If you don’t go back, hum, you will be homeless."
What???
The Western Turkic side was completely shocked. The people of Gaochang were too shameless. It turned out that they had been delaying for so long.
After returning to the tent urgently, Mo Heduo summoned all his subordinates.
Many people heard that the old nest was in danger and expressed their desire to return to the rescue. This time the entire army was motivated by wealth and forgot to arrange to guard their families. They thought that no one dared to provoke the overlord of the Western Turkic grassland, and the damn Uighurs.
Only King Zuo Xian, this person is unwilling to accept his heart. Tens of thousands of people died. He is about to succeed. Do you give up like this?
Coincidentally, at this time, the Western Turks arrived quickly, which completely confirmed what Gaochang said that the Uighurs had swept over one-third of the country and were about to reach the royal city.
"Khan, my subordinates are willing to lead 100,000 troops to conquer Gaochang." Zuo Xianwang knelt on one knee and begged.
