Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 323: Those who have gained the right will get many help, but those who have lost the right will have little help.

"Brother Su, Chu Mo and the others are still in Gaochang. Will they be okay?"

"do not know……"

"That……"

"Don't worry."

Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "It's all according to plan."

plan?

Li Jingheng frowned and thought.

Is his plan to drive out the people of Gaochang?

But what's the use?

Could it be...

Li Jingheng's eyes lit up. Once their army left, the King of Gaochang would definitely let the people into the city.

Cheng Chumo and others who stayed outside the city now had the opportunity to enter the city!
Su Chen looked to one side, "Cao Yuan, are those tails behind you still there?"

Cao Yuan nodded. "They have been watching us, but two of them have left just now. I guess they went back to report the news. The rest of them should be monitoring us and want to make sure we leave Gaochang Kingdom."

Su Chen groaned: "We have walked twenty miles, it's almost time."

"Go get rid of those tails."

"okay."

Cao Yuan nodded and immediately left with Qi Yun and others.

In just a quarter of an hour, they caught up from behind with some blood and energy.

"Okay, it's about time."

Su Chen said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, take your 500 elite soldiers and fight back to Gaochang City. You must assist Captain Cheng to capture Gaochang City!"

"Yes!"

Li Jingheng's face turned serious and he howled a few times at his soldiers. A group of cavalrymen, led by Li Jingheng, turned around and left.

Su Chen patted Lu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go back and take a look."

"Cao Yuan."

"Take Qi Yun and the others with you, bring your weapons, and if the gate of Gaochang City won't open, blow it up!"

"Yes!"

……

Under Gaochang City.

One by one, the people fled in panic.

They did not expect that the Tang cavalry did not kill them, but Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, attacked them at this time.

This not only made them see Qu Wentai's true face, but also made them want to lead the Tang Dynasty army to tear Qu Wentai into pieces!
Da da da.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.

The people who were fleeing in panic stopped in suspicion.

A cavalry team of 500 people suddenly rushed out from the woods on the right side at an incredible speed.

"what sound?"

Qu Wentai put down the bow and arrow in his hand and looked around.

Because of the sky, I couldn't see the scenery in the distance clearly.

"cavalry!"

"It's the cavalry!"

Zhou Wenxuan shouted, "Close the city gate quickly!"

cavalry?

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty?
How can this be? !
Qu Wentai and others were all stunned. They had clearly gone twenty miles west, so how could they come back in such a short time?

However, regardless of whether they are cavalry from the Tang Dynasty or not, it is definitely right to close the city gates!
"Fire rockets!"

Zhou Wenxuan gave orders quickly, but the defenders on the city wall looked at Qu Wentai.

after all.

Qu Wentai is here.

Qu Wentai shouted angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Did you hear what Zhou Changshi said?"

One by one, the archers lit the arrows in their hands and shot them towards the outside of the city.

With the help of the fire on the arrows, everyone vaguely saw the Tang Dynasty cavalry rushing towards the city gate at an astonishing speed!
"Close the city gate quickly!"

Qu Wentai's face changed instantly.

Those are really the cavalry from the Tang Dynasty. They are coming back!
At this moment, waves of angry curses came from the bottom of the city, which made Qu Wentai feel depressed.

"Fuck you, Qu Wentai, you still want to hide in the city and be a tortoise?"

"Everyone stop them and don't let them close the city gates!"

"Qu Wentai, I want you to be buried with my father!"

"..."

Qu Wentai immediately led his men down the city wall, and saw the common people holding the city gate tightly, preventing the defenders in the city from closing the gate!

Especially after the people saw him, the curses became even louder.

"Fuck you Qu Wentai, let's die together!"

"Generals of the Tang Dynasty, charge quickly and kill Qu Wentai!"

"Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer!"

hiss!
Zhou Wenxuan and others felt cold all over.

These are the people of Gaochang Kingdom, and now they are helping the Tang soldiers to attack the city!

"kill!"

"What are you still standing there for? Kill them!"

"Kill them quickly and close the city gates!"

Qu Wentai pointed at the people at the city gate and roared wildly at the soldiers guarding the city.

But the armed defenders hesitated at this moment.

Do you really want to kill their relatives?

"Your Majesty, our relatives are in here..."

"If they don't die now, we will be the ones to die later!"

Qu Wentai grabbed the sword of the soldier guarding the city and killed him with one blow, "Chu Feng, are you going to betray me too?"

"The general will not dare!"

The defending general Chu Feng immediately shook his head and twitched his long sword. Under the pleading gazes of the soldiers, Chu Feng shouted, "But I can't watch everyone die here because of your stupidity!"

Ding!
Chu Feng suddenly took action, and with a thundering blow, he knocked the long sword out of Qu Wentai's hand, and then put the sword on his neck.

"Open the city gate!"

"Welcome Master Wang!"

"You, you are crazy!"

Qu Wentai screamed crazily, "If these Tang troops come in, they will kill you all!"

Chu Feng: "It's not us who are crazy, it's the King who is crazy!"

"Open the city gate!"

this moment.

The speed at which the city gate opened was almost twice as fast as before.

……

what's the situation?
Cheng Chumo, who was leading his troops, was shocked when he saw the city gate open quickly.

It was clearly the people who were trying to stop the city gates from closing, so how come they opened instead?
What surprised him even more was that when he led the cavalry to the city gate, a general of Gaochang Kingdom came out holding Qu Wentai hostage.

"General Chu Feng pays respect to the General of the Celestial Empire."

The Celestial General?

Cheng Chumo's mouth corners could hardly be suppressed, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"

"General, Qu Wentai colluded with the Turks and betrayed the Tang Dynasty. He also ignored the lives of the people and slaughtered them wantonly. We don't want to be accomplices to the tiger, so we captured him and handed him over to the general for disposal!"

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Chumo nodded calmly and said slowly: "It is a blessing for the people of Gaochang that you have this awareness."

"This captain can tell you clearly that when we attack Gaochang this time, we will only kill the main culprit and will not implicate any innocent people!"

"Since Qu Wentai has been captured, you should put down your weapons and follow my orders."

"Yes!"

Chu Feng took the lead and set an example.

Seeing this, the remaining soldiers also dropped their weapons.

Da da da.

The sound of horse hooves came from the west.

Li Jingheng, with a look of astonishment on his face, arrived at the city gate with five hundred cavalrymen.

Cheng Chumo grinned and said, "Jingheng, you are too late. Qu Wentai has been captured by me."

Li Jingheng looked at Qu Wentai, then at Chu Feng and the others who had dropped their weapons, "Who are these people?"

"I surrendered."

Li Jingheng nodded and said, "Let's go into the city first." Soon.

Under the control of a thousand elite soldiers, all the rebel forces in the city were wiped out.

With the arrival of Su Chen, Zhou Wenxuan and others understood that whether it was killing or looting, there should be a result.

"Mr. Wentai?"

"Who are you?"

"Su Chen."

"Su Chen beside the prince?"

Qu Wentai seemed to have heard of Su Chen's name, "You actually left Chang'an City!"

Su Chen: "Thanks to you."

Su Chen sighed, rubbed his legs, and got off the carriage.

"As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it actually betrayed its master and surrendered to the enemy, leading the Turks southward and wantonly shooting and killing its people..."

"Qu Wentai, Qu Wentai, how did you become the king of Gaochang?"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, but this time you won! I am the ruler of Gaochang. What can a lowly person like you do to me?"

"well said."

Su Chen clapped his hands, "Cheng Chumo, send him off."

"Mr. Su, please show mercy!"

Zhou Wenxuan spoke hurriedly, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Even if he needs to be punished, he should be sent to Chang'an City and handed over to His Majesty for punishment..."

Su Chen waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Wenxuan, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"cut!"

Cheng Chumo laughed loudly, drew his sword and stepped forward, and under Qu Wentai's incredulous gaze, he slashed down with one blow.

"king……"

"Okay, stop crying, Chu Mo, chop off those who are crying."

"what?"

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, then walked over with the knife dripping with blood.

"No, don't kill me!"

"Is it okay if I don't cry?"

"late!"

Several ministers died one after another.

Su Chen strode to Chu Feng and said, "I heard from Cheng Chumo that it was you who surrendered, captured Qu Wentai, and opened the city gate."

Chu Feng: "Yes, Mr. Su."

Su Chen patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Well done. I'll remember you. Now go to the city wall and change the flag."

"Yes!"

Chu Feng took the flag, climbed up to the city wall, and replaced it with the flag of the Tang Dynasty.

"Mr. Su, the replacement has been completed."

"This city is still in your hands."

Su Chen glanced at the ministers one by one and said calmly, "Are there any of you who are dissatisfied?"

"Don't dare."

The ministers bowed their heads one after another.

This guy looks kind, but he kills people like killing chickens.

With just one sentence, the King of Gaochang and several ministers were beheaded. How dare they say anything more?
I didn't even dare to cry.

"Post a notice that the King of Gaochang has been executed. From today on, Gaochang will be under the control of the Tang Dynasty."

"Exempt from taxes for three years, to allow time for recuperation."

"This……"

Chu Feng hesitated.

"how?"

"Sir, can you really make the decision?"

"You do not trust me?"

Facing Su Chen's gaze, Chu Feng's heart was shocked, and he nodded immediately, "Believe, I believe you, sir!"

"Then do it."

"Yes!"

"And these ministers, that guy..."

Su Chen looked at Zhou Wenxuan, "Your feelings towards your king seem to be quite complicated."

Zhou Wenxuan: "I eat your salary and worry about your worries. If you want to die, choose a tree to rest on."

Su Chen was immediately happy.

This person is really interesting.

Before Qu Wentai died, he spoke well of Qu Wentai. After Qu Wentai died, he did not cry like other ministers, but looked calm and prepared to find another job.

"Then you will work with Chu Feng to take care of Gaochang City. When General Xue's army arrives in Gaochang City, tell him that we went to Yanqi."

"Yes."

Zhou Wenxuan bowed.

Su Chen returned to the carriage and waved to Zhou Wenxuan and the others, "Manage Gaochang City well. General Xue will be here tomorrow at the latest."

"Those injured and dead civilians, make good arrangements. If I find out that any of you are taking advantage of the situation to target the civilians, I will kill them one by one when I return!"

"Yes!"

"go!"

Su Chen waved his hand, and Li Jingheng and the other man led the cavalry, followed Su Chen's carriage and left quickly.

Like a passerby.

but.

When their eyes fell on the headless corpse on the ground, the real feeling came back.

Their king is dead.

All the confidants in the palace were also eliminated by them.

wrong.

There are also two princes from Jiaohe City and Tiandi City.

But can they really resist the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty?

It's hard.

Just this cavalry of a thousand men was hard for them to resist, let alone the two cities of Jiaohe and Tiandi where they were short of troops.

After taking Gaochang City, Su Chen and his party went straight to Yanqi without stopping.

Tingzhou and Changji have fallen into the hands of the Turks. It seems that the Turkic army is heading south, heading straight for the Yanqi Kingdom.

If they go slowly, it won't be a relief, but a congratulation.

If the Turks took over Yanqi Kingdom before them, Su Chen would not have thought of attacking the city.

Firstly, they were short of troops. Even with the addition of Xue Wanche's army, there were only 20,000 people. How could they be a match for the Turkic cavalry?

Secondly, Gu Xiao and his men have already entered the Turkic territory, and the war of gods is about to begin. The Turkic people can be destroyed from within without bloodshed. Why bother to mobilize a large army for a war and put themselves in danger?
"Sir, why didn't you just kill them all, or leave some of them behind to guard Gaochang City?"

Li Jingheng rode his horse to Su Chen's side and expressed his doubts.

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "No need."

"After Qu Wentai's death, Gaochang City is leaderless. Although I recommended Chu Feng and Zhou Wenxuan to be responsible for the management of Gaochang City, it is a question whether others will obey."

Li Jingheng nodded and said, "If we leave a group of people behind, it will be enough to suppress them."

Su Chen waved his hand, "Just let them kill each other."

Li Jingheng: “???”

Su Chen said with a smile, "If they kill each other, it will be more convenient for us to manage Gaochang City."

Li Jingheng: "What if you don't kill him?"

Su Chen: "If they are not killed, it means they have surrendered. Once General Xue leads his army into Gaochang City, he will directly take over Gaochang."

"Whether it's the former or the latter, there is no loss for us."

"On the contrary, if we leave a group of people behind, they might be attacked secretly. Wouldn't that mean they died innocently?"

Li Jingheng seemed to be thinking about something.

No matter what the current situation in Gaochang City is, it will be a hundred benefits for them with no harm at all.

On the contrary, if we leave behind some troops, there will be casualties.

"And the most important thing for us now is to enter Yanqi before the Turkic army arrives in Yanqi, so that we can stop the Turkic army."

"At this time, every soldier is extremely precious."

"I understand."

Li Jingheng nodded.

Su Chen: "You and Chu Mo go ahead, I will follow soon."

"Yes!"

Li Jingheng responded, said hello to Cheng Chumo, and then took their respective 500 cavalrymen and headed westward like a strong wind.
