For so many years, the Great Tang has been deterring the countries of the Western Regions, making them dare not make any rash moves.
However, the country of Qiuci dared to be disrespectful and beheaded the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Many courtiers in the court specifically discussed this issue. Now, he finally understands, because this is not an issue of the country of Qiuci. Li, behind him, is the shadow of Gao Chang.
In terms of national strength, Gaochang is much stronger than Qiuci, so this matter can be explained.
After confiscating the grain, grass and property of the Kucha Kingdom, Hou Junji did not stop, and led the army, and continued towards Gaochang.
Gaochang is stronger than the Kucha country, but facing such a behemoth as the Tang Dynasty, it is not enough.
Hou Junji naturally didn't have any worries.
When the mighty Tang army was marching towards Gaochang, the king of Gaochang, L Wentai, panicked all of a sudden.
Originally, he was still praying that Tang would be able to appease his anger after eliminating the chief culprit, Qiuci, but now it seems that this can only become a luxury.
At this moment, this...King Gaochang seemed to have forgotten his treachery, and blamed the resentment in his heart on the Kucha Kingdom.
In his opinion, Tang Jun would not have come to his country so unprovoked if someone hadn't told him.
Hearing the news from the people below, the aged Gaochang King fell ill with grief and anger.
This time, it wasn't pretending to be sick, but really fell ill.
With Qiuci destroying the country before him, facing the mighty Tang army, in his heart, he really didn't have the confidence to resist it.
When Hou Junji led the army to Qikou, the aged Gaochang King died of illness in a panic.
At this critical juncture, his son L Zhisheng had no choice but to insist on inheriting the throne and deal with the coming catastrophe.
The army attacked the city all the way, and reached the capital of Gaochang.
The Gaochang people seemed to have been prepared for a long time. They dug a deep ravine in front of the city wall to prevent the possibility of the carts hitting the city wall. Many Gaochang people defended the city and wanted to resist the impact of the Tang army.
The city walls of the capital of Gaochang may not be able to compare with the towering and thick walls of the Tang Dynasty, but it is much stronger than that of the Kucha Kingdom.
Hou Junji stood under the city wall, looking at the Gaochang people on the city wall from a distance, although they were holding weapons, there was an unconcealable panic on their faces.
There is nothing wrong with this, Qiuci is before the fall of the country, blood is flowing in rivers in the royal city, it is difficult for anyone to remain indifferent.
"King Gaochang, if you are willing to open the city gate and surrender me to Tang Dynasty, this commander can let the past go and save your life."
After watching for a while, Hou Junji shouted loudly.
Subduing the enemy's soldiers without fighting is the best strategy for soldiers.
After half his life as a soldier and horse, Hou Junji has learned the most important principles of the art of war.
He could see the height of the wall.
Although he doesn't have much fighting spirit, if he can take down Gaochang without using a weapon, he will be happy at ease.
As these words came out, many Gaochang people on the city wall turned their heads to the rear.
The new king L Zhisheng stood there without saying a word, without any change.
The Tang army massacred in Qiuci, this... the new king was scared out of his wits, he didn't have the guts to gamble, betting that the Tang army entered the capital and would not make a big move.
After not getting a response for a long time, Hou Junji's face became even colder.
"Hmph, you don't eat the toast and you get fined wine, this is what you asked for."
He snorted coldly, then turned his head and whispered a few words to the lieutenant beside him.
Soon, all the troops behind the army left quietly.
During the whole process, the people of Gaochang just guarded the city wall, not daring to make any rash moves.
The two sides are at a stalemate like this.
About two hours passed, and the sound of rumbling came from behind, and the people of Gaochang saw the thick and long
Yuan Mu immediately understood Tang Jun's intentions.
The war will soon start.
Under the cover of the riprap truck, thick and long logs were thrown into the deep gully, and soon, a section of the gully was filled.
During this process, many Gaochang people wanted to stop Tang Jun's actions, but in the face of siege weapons such as catapults, even if they took a lot of defenses, it was useless.
That huge impact, often when it hits a person, can sweep a large area.
The ravine was filled, and the cart crashed against the city wall again.
This kind of siege method may not be very effective in the face of the strong city of the Tang Dynasty or the nomads who are good at shooting, but it is simple and violent in the face of the weak Western Regions.
boom.
boom.
boom.
There was a loud bang, loud and loud.
Every sound seems to hit the heart of the new king L Zhisheng, making him terrified.
The huge boulder is still falling down.
Beside him, there was already a bloody mess.
At this moment, this... the new king could no longer bear this kind of suffering, and rushed to the top of the city under the protection of the people around him.
"General, it was the former king who was rude to Tang. Now, the former king has passed away. This king just succeeded in 990. He has no disobedience to Tang. I hope the general will show mercy."
The new king L Zhisheng shouted loudly.
Down below, Hou Junji heard the sound on the city wall, raised his right hand high, and the catapult behind him stopped suddenly.
"This commander will give you one last chance. If you are willing to submit to my Tang Dynasty, open the city gate and surrender with your hands tied. Otherwise, when this commander enters the city, you will definitely be bloodbathed."
Hou Junji said coldly.
Those words full of murderous intent finally broke the... new king's psychology and defense line.
The gate of the city was slowly opened, and the Tang soldiers rushed in.
In this way, the two countries of the Western Regions fell under the control of the Tang Dynasty without much effort under Hou Junji's powerful killing.
Inside Chang'an City.
It was still peaceful.
Chang'an is nearly ten thousand miles away from the Western Regions, and there is a stretch of desert in between. It is not so easy for anyone to convey the news.
But at this time, in Luoyang, east of Chang'an, Tang Feng moved all the way, and when he arrived here, he stopped.
Six or seven, the sky of the month, changes as soon as it is said.
It was still sunny in the morning, but it started to rain suddenly in the afternoon.
There was no other way, Tang Feng and his party had no choice but to stop their eastward march and stay in Luoyang City.
Chapter 653: Soldiers Immortal Han Xin
Luoyang.
Juxian Building.
Tang Feng and his party lived in this luxury restaurant integrating catering and accommodation.
As the Marquis of Dingbei in the Great Tang Dynasty, with his command of today's gold industry, Tang Feng naturally would not wrong himself.
Night gradually enveloped the earth.
The pouring rain showed no sign of stopping, Tang Feng sighed and lay down on the soft couch.
Even if I was very urgent in my heart and wanted to witness the demeanor of a three-tier warship with my own eyes, it was a pity that the sky failed to fulfill my wish.
Feeling bored, Tang Feng consciously entered the Valkyrie chat.
In the chat group, a group of bigwigs are still chatting without saying a word.
Among them, Xiang Yu is the most active one.
Having won successive battles, the current Xiang Yu has become the strongest force in the time and space at the end of Qin Dynasty.
Because of Xiang Yu's boldness, other princes also came to vote.
Tang Feng could imagine how high-spirited Xiang Yu, this... Jiangdong Overlord, is now.
Without directly speaking, Tang Feng just looked through the chat records in the group, wanting to see what changes have happened to these bigwigs in the group since this period of time.
At a certain moment, a message sent by Xiang Yu before caught Tang Feng's eyes.
"Hehe, these days, it's ridiculous that a cooking soldier has repeatedly come to me to offer advice."
Below, Huo Qubing, Ran Min, Sun Bin and others just echoed with a smile and didn't take this matter seriously.
These people, in their own time and space, are all generals, military lords, or they themselves control a side of power.
How many times have they encountered this situation.
In this world, there are always such people who don't know how much they weigh, but try to use this shortcut to reach the sky in one step.
Therefore, when Xiang Yu sent this news, they naturally thought of it.
However, when Tang Feng saw this sentence, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.
Han Xin.
Han Xin, who was poor in his early years, often sent food from others, was hated by everyone. At the end of Qin Dynasty, he participated in the anti-Qin struggle and joined Xiang Liang's army. After Xiang Liang died, he became Xiang Yu's subordinate, but he didn't get any Reuse, in the Xiang army, only serve as cooks and gatekeepers.
During this period, he offered suggestions to Xiang Yu several times, but none of them were adopted. In despair, when Han Wang Liu Bang entered Bashu, he fled from the Chu camp. Finally, under Xiao He's recommendation, Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general.
In the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, the weak Liu Bang was able to grow step by step, and finally wiped out Xiang Yu. It is no exaggeration to say that Han Xin accounted for more than half of the credit.
It's a pity that success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He.
This...a generation of famous generals who made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, because of their great achievements, aroused Liu Bang's suspicion. In the end, he was tricked into the palace by Empress Lu and Xiao He, and executed in Changle Palace. In time and space, this...is called "Soldier Immortal" by later generations
This generation of generals is in the low period of life, that is, when they are serving as soldiers and gatekeepers.
Lying there, pondering for a moment, Tang Feng still decided to darken Xiang Yu.
As a member of the chat group, Tang Feng still appreciates Xiang Yu's bold temperament.
Although, in terms of Xiang Yu's current military strength, it is much stronger than in history, but in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Han Xin can definitely be regarded as a figure who turned the tide of the battle.
If he is allowed to join Liu Bang's command again, who knows what will happen.
"No. [-], the cooking soldier you mentioned a few days ago... who advised you, is still in your army now"
Without further hesitation, Tang Feng spoke in the group.
With the appearance of Tang Feng's words, the attention of those..... the bosses who were chatting was suddenly attracted.
"Group leader, you are really a dragon
I can't see the end, what are you busy with these days?"
A wave of greetings came.
Under the time and space of the end of Qin Dynasty.
Xiang Yu was a little dazed when he saw Tang Feng's question.
A few days ago, because a cooking soldier came to offer advice many times, he thought it was ridiculous, so he said it in the group.
But in the blink of an eye, that incident was forgotten.
After contemplating for a long time, I finally remembered what Tang Feng, the group leader, was asking.
"Group leader, what's wrong with this cooking soldier?"
After thinking of this person, Xiang Yu hurriedly replied.
For...Tang Feng, the...mysterious group leader, these people have always admired him.
Now, when Tang Feng suddenly asked about such a person, Xiang Yu's first reaction was that there was something wrong with this person, otherwise, how could he attract the group leader's attention.
At the same time, some of the Great Tangs in the group were also a little puzzled, wondering why the group leader was interested in a cooking soldier.
"Do you know the man's name"
After pondering for a while, Tang Feng decided to confirm again.
At this time, Xiang Yu didn't hesitate at all, he withdrew from the Valkyrie chat group, and immediately.
