Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Li Kuan? Is that the Li Kuan who defeated the Eastern Turks?"

The King of Kucha was startled and murmured.

Li Kuan! He was the man who had forcibly broken the huge and arrogant Eastern Turkic Empire into pieces!
His Kingdom of Kucha was just a small country, and could not compare with the giant Turkic Khanate.

He glanced at the solid city wall beneath his feet and felt a little relieved.

"What's the situation at Yanmen Pass?"

How could he trust Yang Wanchun so easily if he could sit in the position of king for so long? Besides, the situation at Yanmen Pass was what he cared about most!
The countries invaded Dayan, this was a risky move!
If he succeeds, his Kingdom of Kucha will grow stronger! He will go down in history as a king!

If he loses, the whole country of Qiuci will be in danger! There is a risk of being destroyed by Da Yan!

"King! The army of Kucha has been harmed by Li Kuan over there in a very dirty way! It's a pity that your general died tragically under his black spear."

Yang Wanchun's eyes rolled and he continued to exaggerate.

"What! They're dead?"

The King of Kucha clenched his hands tightly under the city wall.

The army outside Yanmen Pass in front of him was the elite of his Kingdom of Qiuci! It was his most powerful force!

If they really all hide outside Yanmen Pass, then his Kingdom of Kucha will sooner or later be annexed by its neighboring countries!
"Humph! You are such a shameless person, Yang Wanchun! How dare you distort the facts like this!"

On the other side, Cheng Yaojin was furious, and the strength in his right hand holding the axe increased a bit.

"When did Li Kuan ever harm the army of Kucha? It is obviously you, a shameless villain, whose behavior is despicable! The generals of Kucha disdain to be associated with you and therefore separated from you!"

Cheng Yaojin said loudly facing the King of Kucha.

"What's more, you are a traitor to the dignity of our Great Yan Nation! What if we kill you?!"

As he spoke, he swung his axe a few times with some disdain.

"Yang Wanchun! You'd better accept your death! No one can save you!"

Li Kuan was not angry. In his opinion, Yang Wanchun was already a dead man!
No matter how eloquent he is, he can't change the result!

"King of Kucha! Li Kuan is aggressive! If you hesitate and refuse to open the city gates and join me in resisting Li Kuan, after I die, you will be the next one to die!"

Yang Wanchun did not give up and continued to speak to the King of Kucha, but his tone was obviously less humble.

Since the soft approach didn't work, he wanted to use the hard approach, and the threat was evident in his words.

The King of Kucha looked at Li Kuan, who was like a god of war, and was somewhat hesitant.

He felt a little guilty, after all, his country of Kucha could not escape responsibility for the invasion of Da Yan!
Da Yan is no ordinary small country! It is a giant dragon lingering in the east.

Disturbed it,

But if you fail to subdue it, you will inevitably suffer its extremely fierce counterattack!

When Dayan is free, he doesn't know how confident his country of Kucha is in withstanding Dayan's wrath!

"King...shall we open the gates?"

The general in charge of guarding the royal city looked hesitant, but he really didn't want to face Li Kuan and the group of evildoers behind him!
Those captivating looks were so intense that even a veteran like him dared not look into their eyes!
".No!"

The King of Kucha was silent for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and uttered two words.

Li Kuan was too terrifying! Even though there were only a few hundred soldiers standing behind Li Kuan, he didn't want to fight them!
The city wall is so strong, why should he wade into this muddy water?

"King of Kucha! If I die, you'll be next! Bastard! Open the city gate quickly!"

Yang Wanchun couldn't help but get a little angry when he saw that the people on the city wall didn't move.

"No one can save you today! You are from the Xianzhen Camp! Kill them!"

Li Kuan moved his legs, and the warhorse under him rushed towards Yang Wanchun like a bow and arrow.

"kill!"

The soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp behind him became bloodshot when they heard Li Kuan's voice and followed Li Kuan closely.

"King of Kucha! You will die a horrible death!"

Yang Wanchun cursed loudly upon seeing this, but since things had come to this point, he could only stop his men from rushing into battle.

"Go! Everyone, come on!"

Yang Wanchun seemed to have figured it out. Looking at Li Kuan over there, the fear in his eyes faded a little.

"Come on, everyone! Only by killing them all can you survive!"

He gritted his teeth and rushed forward with the generals beside him.

A moment later, the two sides collided.

Even though the 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers became much braver under the threat of death, it was completely useless!
The black spear in Li Kuan's hand was like the scythe of the god of death! Every time he swung it, a new dead soul would appear on it!
The blood splattered on Li Kuan's white robe, making him look even more terrifying!

One soldier after another was strangled to death by the trap camp and became a cold corpse on the ground!

Advantage in numbers?
In this case, there is no benefit!

"Stop him! Quick!"

Li Kuan approached Yang Wanchun step by step, and no soldier could stop him!
When Yang Wanchun saw Li Kuan approaching, his body stiffened and he fell off his horse. There was no trace of blood on his once proud face.

"Let me in! Let me in now!"

Yang Wanchun crawled on the ground with difficulty, came to the city gate, and knocked on the tall city gate with difficulty.

The King of Kucha on the city wall did not answer. He was very frightened after witnessing a massacre!

This man is even more terrifying than the rumors say!
He was very glad that he did not open the city gate to fight!

"No...don't kill me!"

Li Kuan side-chopped a soldier in front of him and sent him flying. He looked at Yang Wanchun who was lying on the ground, unable to escape.

Yang Wanchun, who was so complacent not long ago, felt the murderous intent on the black spear.

She actually broke down and begged to Li Kuan in tears.

"Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Li Kuan's expression did not change under the mask. Killing a barbarian seemed insignificant to him.

"I am a general of Goguryeo! I can surrender! I can help Dayan destroy Goguryeo!"

Yang Wanchun looked crazy. For a long time he couldn't think of any attractive conditions he could offer. In desperation, he even thought about betraying his own country!
"Hmph! No need! I, Li Kuan, would not even bother to accept such a villain under my command! Besides, I can still destroy Goguryeo without you!"

Li Kuan snorted coldly. Such a villain must not be allowed to stay!

The black spear that was pressed against Yang Wanchun's head was thrust upward with force, and a huge head flew into the sky!

That ferocious face showed unwillingness, regret, and even deep fear!
"The general is dead...we are finished..."

With the death of their commander, the remaining Goguryeo soldiers were even more desperate!
"No...we surrender!"

"We won't fight anymore! Let us go!"

A moment later, there were more than 2,000 cold corpses on the ground! There were also 1,000 remaining soldiers, who were also besieged by the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp.
They dropped their weapons, gave up resistance, and knelt on the ground hoping for a way to survive.

"Kill!" There was no trace of mercy in Li Kuan's eyes.

Since you dare to invade Dayan, you must be prepared to die!

"Pfft-"

All of a sudden, heads fell to the ground, and the gushing blood dyed the land red.

All the people from the Kingdom of Kucha on the city wall were terrified when they saw this scene!
An idea popped into their minds at the same time.

Da Yan is not to be provoked! Li Kuan is even more not to be provoked!

"The King of Kucha, right?"

Li Kuan suddenly turned his gaze to the King of Kucha on the city wall, his blood-red eyes emitting a chilling cold light.

"Your Majesty Li Kuan...I wonder what instructions you have..."

The people of Kucha were looked at by Li Kuan as if they were being stared at by a tiger, and they broke out in cold sweats!
"I look at you tired when I raise my head like this!"

Li Kuan put the black spear that was still dripping with blood aside and spoke lightly.

The sound was not loud, but it made the King of Kucha nervous.

How could the King of Kucha not know what Li Kuan meant? Li Kuan clearly wanted him to open the city gate!

"King... this is inappropriate... you should think twice."

The generals standing by did not dare to look Li Kuan in the eye, but he still gritted his teeth and gave advice to the King of Kucha.

This man is so scary!
If the city gate was opened, wouldn't their heads be exposed to his black spear?

"Yes, yes, yes... Look at my bad habit... I always forget some things. I will go out of the city gate to welcome His Majesty Da Yan..."

The King of Kucha ignored the generals beside him, apologized to Li Kuan, and then hurried away.

How could he not know that if he opened the city gate he might die?
But if he doesn't open the city gate, how can he withstand Li Kuan's anger?

Even if he had relied on the advantage of the city wall and had not been killed by Li Kuan's black spear, once the Dayan army attacked, the entire Kucha Kingdom would not be spared!

"Your Majesty Da Yan...what instructions do you have?"

The King of Kucha soon came to Li Kuan, although he was extremely reluctant!

When he smelled the strong smell of blood not far away and saw the corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but bend down!
"It seems that the army outside Yanmen Pass this time includes troops from your Kingdom of Kucha."

Li Kuan spoke very slowly, word by word, which put great pressure on the King of Kucha.

"Misunderstanding! This is definitely a misunderstanding!"

There were beads of sweat on the King of Kucha's forehead and his whole body was trembling slightly.

As soon as Li Kuan finished speaking, he denied it.

How could he admit this? If he admitted it, wouldn't that mean he was asking for trouble?
"Oh? Really? Then those people outside Yanmen Pass are not from your Kucha Kingdom?"

Li Kuan's face turned cold, and his right hand suddenly stretched out towards the black spear standing beside him.

"Your Majesty Li Kuan! A general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home! Perhaps the generals of my Kucha country were bewitched by others! Yes! It was because of Yang Wanchun's bewitching that he did such a stupid thing."

As if sensing the change in Li Kuan's expression, the King of Kucha quickly responded.

When he saw Yang Wanchun's head on the ground not far away, he thought quickly and put the blame on the dead Yang Wanchun.

"Humph!"

Li Kuan did not speak, but just snorted coldly, which frightened the King of Kucha so much that he trembled in fear!
"Innocent people from Great Yan died for no reason this time! The Tang army suffered heavy losses this time! How should we settle this account?"

Seeing the King of Kucha's reaction, Li Kuan smiled very obscurely, and then continued with a dark face.

"Hey, what does this kid Li Kuan want to do? Why is he so jumpy? Look how scared he is!"

The old demon behind him had put down his axe at some point and was carefully wiping off the blood on it, while looking at Li Kuan with interest.

"I don't know what your majesty is doing, we just have to watch the show."

On the other side, Gao Shun's face did not show any surprise. He just clenched his fists and looked at Li Kuan quietly.

"It's all up to His Majesty Dayan to order!"

The King of Kucha bowed and said humbly.

He quickly fled from here as quickly as possible to escape from Li Kuan's gaze!
But he couldn't grasp Li Kuan's meaning for a moment, and he didn't dare to guess what Li Kuan meant.

If Li Kuan was angered by this, his life would be over! He hadn't had enough of being a king yet!
"The people of our Great Yan died for no reason! Their families and friends are naturally grief-stricken! Their families are torn apart!"

Li Kuan did not speak directly, but spoke somewhat obscurely after hesitating.

"For the innocent people of Dayan who died this time, my country of Kucha will pay a compensation of 100 taels of silver to each person. What do you think..."

The King of Kucha breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Wasn't it just compensating the people for their losses?
Although Kucha was not a big country, it could still afford the compensation with some gold.

"Hmm? One hundred taels of silver?"

Li Kuan suddenly raised his head and his eyes fixed.

"Uh... No! Your Majesty, you heard wrong! I just said one hundred taels of gold!"

When the King of Kucha saw that Li Kuan was a little unhappy, he quickly said with some pain in his heart.

One hundred taels of gold per person is a considerable sum. He prayed that the number of innocent people who died in the Great Fire would not be that large.
"Ah."

Li Kuan nodded slightly, and his tone softened a little.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

The King of Kucha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

As long as Manzi could let this evil star in front of him go sooner, then it would be worth it for him to pay some price.

"This time, our Great Yan army has mobilized a huge force of 100,000 soldiers to rush to Yanmen Pass, and it has consumed a lot of military expenses along the way."

"Letting go of Kucha so easily? How is that possible?"

Li Kuan glanced at the King of Kucha and continued.

The King of Kucha's face twitched when he heard this. The man in front of him was truly a cannibal!

Looking at his posture, it was obvious that his waist had squeezed him completely dry!

"The soldiers of Great Yan have been through a long journey, and naturally they are extremely tired... My Kingdom of Kucha is willing to give Great Yan 100,000 taels of gold as a military subsidy, and to reward the soldiers of Great Yan at the same time."

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back! The King of Kucha gritted his teeth and said.

His Kingdom of Kucha does not need to have abundant resources and a full treasury like Dayan!

One hundred thousand taels of gold was already the entire treasury income of the Kingdom of Kucha for a year!
If there is any more, he won’t be able to take it out!

But as long as Li Kuan can be sent away, everything is worth it! Losing money is better than losing your life!
"Hahaha! Then I will thank you, King Kucha, on behalf of the soldiers of Dayan."
