The next morning... the Tang army sharpened their swords... However, Hou Junji still made his last kindness. Hou Junji sent an envoy to Gaochang City again to shout, hoping that King Gaochang could turn back at this time.

But what Hou Junji didn't expect was that King Gaochang had long been confused by his so-called wise man.

His reply to Hou Junji was: If you want to attack, attack... Gaochang swears not to surrender.

He really has backbone, but he didn't even consider his own consequences. If he sent it to the Tang army, Hou Junji would have no more worries.

It was about 10 o'clock in the morning, and Hou Junji asked Li Zhan for instructions. Could he launch a general attack?

Li Zhan nodded and could launch a general attack. At 10 o'clock, the general attack began... At the beginning, the Gaochang King Qu Zhisheng believed that the Tang army would use the tactics of the sea of ​​people to attack the city, so that he could rely on Gaochijian, the city of Gaochang City and the tens of thousands of people in Gaochang City to persist for a period of time.

Little did they know... Qu Zhisheng's wishful thinking was wrong this time.

The Tang army had never thought about using the human sea tactics. Because there were too many people who died and time delayed, the Tang army chose to use a thousand catapults to attack the city.

In addition to a thousand catapults, hundreds of stalkers were dispatched, with the chariots of five meter high. The soldiers stood on the chariots of the chariots and could clearly see the deployment of the army in Gaochang City.

The soldiers on the car in the watchtower would take out the flag and tell the direction of the throwing of the trencher.

Oh my god... you have never seen such a spectacular attack... A thousand catapults fired together, and the sound of machines on the battlefield was endless. Some of them built the Gaochang city walls, and some smashed into Gaochang city. With a "bang" sound, the wall fell and people died.

"Buzz..." "Buzz..." "Buzz..." "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

The soldiers' applause sounded from the car in the tower, and they flew with the flags.

Qu Zhisheng was about to go crazy... This time he defended the city, he sent out all the 60-year-old men in the city. He originally wanted to use his city Gao Chijian to defeat the Tang army several times and then give his own negotiations capital.

Who knew that I had messed up again.

In the battle report ahead, the Tang army used thousands of catapults to attack the city... The defenders on the city were almost killed or injured, and all the houses on the edge of the city were destroyed and collapsed... countless civilians were killed or injured.

These battle reports came into Qu Zhisheng's ears one by one, about twelve o'clock noon... After Qu Zhisheng silently finished lunch in his palace, he reluctantly announced that Gao Chang surrendered.

In just one hour... the gate of Gaochang City was wide open, ready to welcome another round of killing from the Tang army.

The killing after siege is basically a tacit understanding, especially after you resist tenaciously, not just before, but even after a thousand years.

In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1645 AD), the Qing soldiers, led by Duoduo, surrounded Yangzhou City heavily, and Yangzhou was in a hurry. The guard general Shi Kefa led the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou to defend the lonely city, and decided to resist to the end and die in battle to serve the country.

After struggling to resist for more than 30 days, the Yangzhou defenders finally ran out of ammunition and food, and the city was trapped and captured, and Shi Kefa was executed heroically. The Qing army also paid a heavy price in the siege of the city.

For such a rebellious and prosperous famous Jiangnan town, after the Qing army broke the city, it was not enough to vent their anger, and it was not enough to rob property to gain fullness. Before entering the pass, the so-called "Now you enter the pass to fight west, do not kill innocent people, do not plunder wealth, do not burn houses, and those who make promises will be punished" has long become a piece of paper.

Yangzhou became a purgatory, with foul smell and blood everywhere, with broken walls and incomplete body corpses, and all moral and ethical and social norms no longer exist. On the sixth day of killing and looting, the Qing army received the order from King Yu and sealed the sword. The bloody massacre was finally over.

According to historical records, a total of 800,000 people died in this massacre, not including those who fell into a well and jumped into rivers, closed their doors and burned themselves in remote places.

This should be the helplessness of the weak... But just as Qu Zhisheng and the people of Gaochang City were also preparing to accept such a massacre, an unexpected scene appeared.

After the Tang Dynasty entered the city, the army did not loot. Not only that, it actually helped some homeless civilians.

Then a notice appeared in Gaochang City, which read three rules: First, the murderer will pay for his life; second, the crime of hurting people; third, the crime of stealing. The severity of the crime depends on the severity of the crime.

Once this three rules were released, Gaochang City, which was originally impetuous, was completely out of impetuousness.

Li Zhan's Hu Ben Army and Hou Guangliang's Hu Wang Army temporarily became the army to supervise discipline, and the Tang army was not allowed to act wildly in Gaochang City.

At around 13:00 p.m. that day, Li Zhan entered the Gaochang Palace under the protection of the Hu Ben Army. Previously, Hou Junji ordered that no one could enter the Gaochang Palace, including himself.

Only the Hu Ben Army and the Wei Tiger Army can enter the Gaochang Palace.

You should know that history has changed again, because according to historical records, Hou Junji attacked Gaochang Capital and saw a large number of treasures from the Western Regions. He couldn't put it down. So he ignored the military discipline and took a large amount of gold, silver and treasures for himself. Seeing that the commander was so greedy for money, he followed suit and almost robbed the Gaochang Palace within half a day.

Hou Junji returned victoriously, and did not mention a word about his embezzlement of his treasure in his memorial.

After returning to Chang'an, the soldiers under Hou Junji's command finally revealed the matter because of uneven distribution of spoils. Li Shimin was very shocked when he heard about it and immediately ordered the arrest of Hou Junji, but Li Shimin was in trouble on how to deal with Hou Junji.

Logically speaking, Hou Junji led his army to destroy Gaochang State and had outstanding achievements and should be rewarded. However, Hou Junji embezzled treasures and corrupted military affairs. It was of bad nature and would not be wronged even if he killed him. In the end, Li Shimin did not kill Hou Junji, nor did he punish him, but released Hou Junji and did not blame him.

However, this also led to a rift between Hou Junji and Li Shimin. Since Hou Junji was released, he complained all day long, believing that Li Shimin should not have captured him. Since then, he has resentment towards Li Shimin and eventually he has gone to the path of no return.

Three years later, Hou Junji followed the prince Li Chengqian to rebel. After the incident broke out, Li Shimin was very heartbroken when he looked at Hou Junji who was arrested and brought to justice. Thinking of Hou Junji's previous contributions, he did not implicate his wife and children.

Now this incident can no longer happen. Hou Junji did not attack the treasures in Gaochang Palace as soon as possible, and also issued a military order to prevent the Tang army from approaching.

In this way, Hou Junji is still a good subordinate of Li Shimin, so it will be difficult for the rest of the matter to happen. In this way, history will change again.

Li Zhan didn't know whether such a change was good or bad. Li Zhan was just following his own heart and ignored all the others.

Li Zhan entered the Gaochang Palace accompanied by Fengming, Ying Lao, Gao Hu, Hou Guangliang and Cheng Chumo. Along the way, Li Zhan saw the wealth of Gaochang Palace, gold, silver, gems, ivory... and so on... Li Zhan is fine, but he has seen the money.

But these things really made others' eyes look straight.

"My God... How could such a small place in Gaochang be so rich?" Cheng Chumo looked at the luxurious palace and asked in confusion.

"Who knows this... Maybe Gaochang's father and son are not good people." Suningbao intervened.

Li Zhan on the side smiled and said, "You... In fact, these wealth were not accumulated by one generation or two generations, but it took hundreds of years to accumulate. This is another family of his own, so of course it has accumulated a lot.

However, these things will be loaned to me first. My Dengzhou requires too much money, so I can only borrow them from Gaochangguo."

After saying that, Li Zhan laughed. After Li Zhan entered the palace, after he arrived at the palace, Li Zhan saw the King of Gaochang Qu Zhisheng at this time... To be honest, Qu Zhisheng was quite young, but at this time, Qu Zhisheng looked a little lonely and pale.

After seeing Li Zhan, Qu Zhisheng took all his family behind him to kneel down, and then he heard Qu Zhisheng say, "Qu Zhisheng, the criminal minister of Gaochang, pays homage to the Tang Dynasty angels...!"

Li Zhan looked at Qu Zhisheng and sighed: "If I had known today, why would you have to be...you father and son are always testing where the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty is... Can you test this?

Now... the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed... But don't worry, I'm here, your family and your life safety, I can make the decision, no one dares to hurt you at all."

"Who is the angel?" Qu Zhisheng looked at Li Zhan nervously and asked. At this time, Qu Zhisheng hoped that Li Zhan was a big shot, so that Li Zhan's promise would be more stable.

"Open your dog's eyes and look at it carefully... This is His Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty...!" Cheng Chumo scolded loudly.

"The eldest son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..." Qu Zhisheng was stunned and said, "That shouldn't be the crown prince? Are you the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhan smiled and waved his hand and said, "I am not the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but let me tell you this... Gu's words are just a matter of words. Gu said that you will not have any trouble, your family will not have any trouble, then you and your family will not have any trouble.

However, Gu also has something to ask for help. The main reason why Gu came to Gaochang this time was short of money, so Gu wanted to take away all your money from Gaochang Palace. I wonder if you can help Gu?"

"Your Highness is joking... The king is successful and the enemy is defeated. The next Gaochang belongs to His Highness. Not to mention the things in Gaochang's palace, even if I have the lives of my family, please take them at will."

After saying that, Qu Zhisheng pushed out his fourteen-year-old daughter.

"Ah...!" With a scream, Qu Zhisheng's eldest daughter fell to the side. After Li Zhan saw the girl's face, he also smiled, because it was said that there were so many beautiful women in the Western Regions, and that was really nothing wrong.

Do you know who this daughter proposed by Qu Zhisheng looks like... The actress with four words really seems to be like.

Li Zhan grabbed the little girl's hand and smiled and said, "Take me to see the inner treasury of Gaochang's palace...!"

Li Zhan's words made Qu Zhisheng feel a little more at ease.
