Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Most importantly, he advocated the integration of Han people and extremely rejected Turkic people.

However, his ambitions and aspirations have been delayed by Qu Wentai, a mediocre lord.

Although Qu Wentai treated him well and worshiped him as the general of the world's soldiers and horses.

But he listened to slander, never listened to Zhang Xiong's suggestion, insisted on going his own way, and finally fell to today's result.

Li Chengqian had to take care of Gaochang if he took over Gaochang.

And Zhang Xiong is definitely the most suitable candidate, whether it is prestige or ability, Zhang Xiong deserves it.

But this is not the time to discuss this matter with him. Qu Wentai is not dead, and Zhang Xiong's will is difficult to change. This is why Li Chengqian didn't talk to him immediately.

Everything has to be taken down Gaochang City.

moment……

Qin Shubao's 5000 troops and the White Robe Army's 5000 troops formed a mixed team and headed towards Gaochang City.

For some reason, Li Chengqian always felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

This feeling of being out of his control made him very unhappy, and he couldn't help speeding up the pace of the march. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Tang army led by Qin Shubao was left behind.

Chapter 147 The emperor died and the treasury was robbed

Gaochang City...

Inside the palace...

The original is magnificent, a place of bliss with singing and dancing.

At this moment, it has become Shura Purgatory.

Hou Junji led two thousand Hongliuwei to break open the gate of the palace, and the royal guards in the palace were killed by Hongliuwei, throwing away their helmets and armor, and blood flowed like rivers.

Afterwards, he led Hong Liuwei straight to Qu Wentai's bedroom.

These Hong Liuwei had followed Hou Junji for many years, not only were they very powerful in combat, but they were also extremely loyal to Hou Junji.

They may not listen to Li Shimin's words, but they will definitely carry out Hou Junji's orders.

He is Hou Junji's confidant and personal soldier.

"Oh..." Qu Wentai, who was fleeing frantically in the palace, was so frightened that he lost his mind when he heard the shouts of killing outside.

The little eunuch hurried forward and helped him up, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qu Wentai hurriedly got up, panting, "I... I'm fine."

On weekdays, Qu Wentai, who only knows how to enjoy himself, is pampered and eats a lot of fat, how can he bear such bumps.

Before he ran far, he was as tired as a dog.

Qu Wentai supported the jade platform next to him, "I... I can't run anymore."

Hou Hua'an saw it, and hurriedly shouted to the two imperial guards next to him: "Hurry up, you two, hold Your Majesty, and let's retreat quickly."

Although he didn't show it on his face, he had already greeted Qu Wentai's eight generations of ancestors in his heart.

If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping Qu Wentai, Hou Hua'an really wanted to go up and give him a kick.

Although he only knows a few tricks like a three-legged cat, he is absolutely unambiguous in running away. Qu Wentai is so good that he can't even run away.

Qu Wentai couldn't help the two tall and burly guards, one of them grabbed his arm and ran out.

They were not far from the bedroom when they were spotted by Hou Junji's subordinates, "General, look, the person who ran away seems to be Qu Wentai."

Hou Junji pulled out the horizontal saber from the chest of a Gaochang imperial forest soldier, turned around to look, with a cold chill in his eyes.

Besides Qu Wentai, who else was the one wearing the dragon robe and held up by two guards.

Qu Wentai, too, had no experience of fleeing. He ran out wearing a radiant yellow dragon robe with carved dragon patterns and phoenix patterns. Under the moonlight, it could reflect golden light, like a moving pyramid, very eye-catching .

Hou Junji said coldly: "Hurry up, get around, don't let Qu Wentai escape."

After saying that, Hong Liuwei surrounded Qu Wentai's fleeing army in the distance, "Kill! Capture Qu Wentai alive."

Qu Wentai, who was already terrified, softened when he heard the voice.

"Quick! Stop them! Stop them!" Hou Hua'an drew out his long knife and screamed desperately.

Hundreds of Yulin soldiers behind them drew their weapons and rushed towards Hongliu army.

But Gaochang City's Royal Forest Army couldn't beat Hong Liuwei, who had been trained by Hou Junji for many years, and they all lost their heads in a few rounds.

Hou Hua'an looked at Hou Junji who was walking slowly, pretending to be calm, but just as he was about to speak, Hou Junji slashed at him.

Blood spattered Qu Wentai's face.

Just as Qu Wentai was about to scream, Hou Junji didn't wait for him to react, and stabbed him into his thigh with a backhand stab, and blood spurted out instantly.

The sound he was about to yell was choked back abruptly, and then he yelled like a pig being slaughtered, resounding throughout the palace.

Feeling the tearing pain in his leg, Qu Wentai's head was buzzing, "This plot is wrong, shouldn't I ask first? Why did you come up and gave me a knife!"

Hou Junji squinted his eyes like a poisonous snake, stared straight at Qu Wentai, and said coldly, "I'll just ask you once, where is the treasure house of the Gaochang Kingdom? How to open it."

Looking at Hou Junji's knife-like eyes, Qu Wentai's heart trembled, "In...in the Kui Palace, I...I'll take you there, don't kill me."

At this moment, the majesty of the emperor, the gold and silver treasures, the propriety, righteousness and shame, and what would rather jade pieces were all chopped off by Hou Junji.

For Qu Wentai, survival is the most important thing.

This Hou Junji did have some tricks, his knife was worth a thousand words, better than threats and intimidation, it directly broke Qu Wentai's mentality completely.

Qu Wentai has never suffered such humiliation since he was born, not to mention being hacked, even his fingers have never been cut.

But at this moment, he resisted the pain, snot and tears fell down mixedly, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Hou Junji would cut him with a knife.

Hou Junji said harshly, "Lead the way."

After the words fell, the two Hong Liuwei set up Qu Wentai.

Qu Wentai's tensed thigh suddenly gushed out blood again, his face was almost twisted into a twisted face due to the pain, he raised his right hand timidly and said: "Then...over there."

Soon...

Under the leadership of Qu Wentai, Hou Junji came to the Kuibao Pavilion. After some complicated operations by Qu Wentai, the door of the Kuibao Pavilion was opened.

After crossing the two ten thousand-jin stone gates, one arrives at the inner hall of the Kaibao Pavilion.

Hong Liuwei dragged Qu Wentai aside to make way for Hou Junji.

Hou Junji stepped over Hongliuwei and stepped into the inner hall. Looking at the dazzling array of rare treasures in the inner hall, the countless jade and jewellery, and the soft gold and silver all over the floor, he was shocked at first, and then Greedy eyes were revealed, salivating.

There are countless treasures in the Kaibao Pavilion, which illuminate the inner hall with colorful and dazzling colors.

Hou Junji swallowed his saliva, almost unable to pull out his eyes staring at Caibao, "Mine! It's all mine!" He shouted frantically from the bottom of his heart.

However, rationality still defeated Hou Junji's greedy desire. He turned his head and said to his lieutenant Hou Lincan, "Lin Can acted according to the plan. I don't need to teach you how to do it."

Hou Lincan is his family, and he was single-handedly promoted, so his loyalty goes without saying.

"Don't worry, general, this matter is left to the general. If someone discovers any clues, it has nothing to do with the general. The general will bear it alone. General, you only need to kill your relatives righteously." Hou Lincan said in a deep voice, and he had already done it. Junji is ready to take the blame.

Hou Junji nodded, without speaking, turned around and left the Kaibao Pavilion without touching any treasure.

Hou Lincan came out and looked coldly at Qu Wentai who was limp on the ground.

Seeing Hou Lincan's eyes, Qu Wentai screamed inwardly, and hurriedly got up and begged for mercy: "General, I... I still have another treasure house, don't kill me, I'll take you there, okay?"

"Zangbao Pavilion?" Hou Lincan squinted his eyes, and then slashed at Qu Wentai with his sword, "You should save it and talk to King Hades."

Qu Wentai stared, covered his neck with his hands, trembled crazily, then fell to the ground, leaving the world completely.

A generation of emperors of Gaochang Kingdom died in his own treasure house just like that.

Hou Lincan said solemnly: "The Kuibao Pavilion is sealed off, and no one is allowed to approach it. The gold, silver and jewels in the treasury are counted and turned over to the state treasury."

At the same time, carriages transporting food and grass stopped at the backyard of the imperial city, and groups of Hongliuwei galloped towards Kaibao Pavilion.

Chapter 148

When the sun slowly rises from the land in the east, the sky is slightly pale.

The burning, killing and looting in Gaochang City are still going on.

Hou Junji sat on Qu Wentai's dragon chair, listening to the wailing of the people in the city, enjoying it very much.

The more chaotic the city was, the happier he was. Only in this way would his plan be seamless and not be noticed by others.

Furthermore, Gaochang City took the initiative to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, and now it has fallen to this point, it is its own fault, and doing so is just retaliation.

In the city, a few Tang soldiers sat in the city, looking at the companions who burned, killed and looted around them, their brows were tightly frowned, and their eyes were extremely complicated.

One of the Tang soldiers said angrily: "You say... How is General Hou's behavior different from that of the Turks? What is wrong with the people of Gaochang City? We are both Han people, and they are not as inhuman as the Turks. They use Han people as rations. I have never been sorry to Datang, why did General Hou want to kill them all?"

"Alas..." One of the older soldiers shook his head helplessly, "We can't figure out the thoughts of the superiors. If you don't like it, just pretend that you don't see it. If you say it, it's disobedience. This kind of guilt is not something we can afford.”

"Hmph!" Tang Bing said disdainfully, "If His Royal Highness sees this scene, he will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, the veteran covered his mouth and shook his head gently at him.

Outside Gaochang...

Li Chengqian frowned as he looked at the black smoke and flames of Gaochang City, an ominous premonition gradually surfaced in his heart.

Qin Shubao and the others also looked confused.

Gaochang City was captured?This is impossible!No matter how mediocre Qu Wentai was, it was impossible for Hou Junji to capture Gaochang City in such a short period of time with the [-] troops gathered.

But looking at the scene, it was clear that Gaochang City had been captured.

When they rushed to the foot of Gaochang City, looking at the city walls and gates without any trace of battle, their confusion became more serious.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Li Chengqian thought about the mistakes along the way in his heart.

The only way for the Tang army to break into the city of Gaochang was to have an internal response from the city, and join hands with Hou Jun to capture Gaochang City.

He turned his head to look at Qin Shubao, "Mr. Yi, is there any internal support for us in Gaochang City?"

Qin Shubao suddenly realized when he heard it, but he shook his head immediately, "I don't know, I'm afraid only Lu Guogong knows about this matter best."

"Did Duke Lu not tell you about the internal response?"

"No?"

"Then why did the three of you lead the army to ambush Zhang Xiong in the Mangya Canyon?"

"Lu Guogong said, let's go there to ambush Zhang Xiong, cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and eliminate Zhang Xiong's reinforcements."

Li Chengqian nodded, Hou Junji's arrangements for this matter were not flawless, but he always felt that it was weird.

Enter Gaochang City.

What caught everyone's eyes was devastation, the corpses of Tang Jun and Gao Chang Jun were all over the place, and the blood stained the ground scarlet.

The surrounding houses and shops were burning raging fire, and there were a few miserable cries from time to time.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's bad premonition became stronger.

The Gaochang people are different from the Turkic people. They are descended from the Tang people. Although the two countries are at war, the people are innocent. Li Chengqian absolutely does not allow the harm to the people to happen.

The people of Gaochang are just like the people of Tang Dynasty, they are simple and honest, diligent and conscientious, completely different from the Turks who are evil in nature and behave like livestock.

Li Chengqian got off his horse, and the white-robed army and Li Chengqian walked slowly towards the city behind them.

Going further inside, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides gradually decreased, but the corpses of the common people increased. Even the corpses of the elderly, women and children were often seen.

"Hey...Little lady, don't run away, you have been with me all night, why are you denying your account again?"

A disheveled Tang soldier broke out in an alley next to the street. He was chasing a ragged Gaochang woman.

boom……

The Gaochang woman accidentally fell to the bottom, looking at Tang Bing who was rushing, her eyes were filled with endless fear, "No...don't... woo woo woo... Please."

"Haha..." That Tang Bing said with a sinister smile, "Since you like it, why don't we just stay on this street, hehehe..."

Suddenly, this Tang Bing suddenly felt a chill down his back. He looked up, and a pair of eyes that were as cold as ten thousand years of ice were staring at him closely.

He panicked for a moment and fell to the ground.

Li Chengqian looked into his eyes, as if there were flames erupting. What he was most worried about happened, the Tang army actually burned, killed and looted wantonly in Gaochang City.
