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

Chapter 340: Bet, Kucha Kingdom allows passage!

By now, Yu Gushe’s army should have arrived at Yanqi State, and Su Chen and his men are also within the territory of Yanqi State.

Is it really too late to arrange troops to rush to Yanqi Kingdom and inform them to be on guard against the direction of Qiuci Kingdom?
That's too late!

The journey to the Western Regions is long. Even if we arrange an express trip of 800 miles, it will take at least three to five days one way.

What's more, it is snowing heavily in Chang'an now, so the speed of the cavalry is naturally greatly affected.

When the cavalry successfully arrived at Yanqi Kingdom, perhaps the war in Yanqi Kingdom would have ended!
"You already knew that, right?"

Li Chengqian was getting angry and stared at Li Shimin coldly: "Since you knew, why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Li Shimin: "You didn't ask."

Li Chengqian: "Do you know that if this is true, Xue Wanche and his 20,000 troops will most likely die in battle in Yanqi?"

Li Shimin: "How can there be no death in war?"

Li Chengqian: "Those are the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin sat up straight and said calmly, "Do you understand the importance of this matter now?"

Li Chengqian frowned, and Li Shimin continued: "Warfare is the art of deception!"

"You claim to be the king of kings, so why didn't you plan ahead for this trip to the Western Region?"

“Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish!”

"Gao Ming, even if Xue Wanche and others died, it was all caused by you!"

"why?"

Li Chengqian was furious. "What good would it do you if they died?"

Li Shimin shook his head, pointed at Li Chengqian and said, "Their death may make you more sober."

"wide awake?"

"wide awake!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Governing a country is not a joke. I admit that Su Chen has some ability, but the country cannot be managed with just a few tricks and abilities!"

"I hope you can understand this!"

"Because of this, you want to watch Xue Wanche and the others die in Yanqi?"

Facing Li Chengqian's questioning, Li Shimin remained calm.

"No matter how much others say, as long as the sword doesn't fall on you, you will never know how painful it is."

"Only when you experience it yourself, you will understand and remember it forever, and you will never make the same mistake again!"

Li Chengqian clenched his fists.

He got it.

The reason why Li Shimin told him these things at this time was to teach him a lesson through the death of Xue Wanche and 20,000 others.

But the cost of this lesson is too high!

“They won’t necessarily lose!”

"If you hurry up, maybe the postmen can reach them before they are defeated, but if you don't communicate, they will definitely be defeated."

"Is this Admiral Tiance's inference?"

"unless……"

Li Shimin spoke slowly, "Su Chen has a backup plan!"

Backhand?

Correct!
Su Chen must have a backup plan!
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and Li Shimin's voice continued, "It's just like the power you had hidden before."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin coldly, "I won't lose, and Su Chen won't let me lose!"

"Is it?"

Li Shimin was noncommittal.

Li Chengqian said coldly: "If Father is so confident, how about we make a bet?"

Li Shimin: "What are you betting on?"

Li Chengqian: "Su Chen cooperated with Xue Wanche to pacify the Western Regions, and Yu Gushe retreated back to the grassland!"

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I can satisfy any request of my father."

"Confident enough."

"It's not that I'm confident, it's that I believe in him!"

Li Chengqian said proudly, "Everyone would harm me, but he wouldn't!"

"it is good!"

"I accept it."

Li Shimin said calmly, "If you win, I will personally crown you on the day of your ascension! Announce to the world that I am blind and will retire to Da'an Palace and no longer interfere in the affairs of the court!"

"A word is settled!"

"You can send someone to notify them now."

"No need."

Li Chengqian waved his sleeves and turned away, "I trust him."

……

Yanqi Kingdom.

royal palace.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

The Jihu captain Lisoduli appeared in front of the Longtu cavalry with a smile on his face.

The Long Tuqizhi subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

But he seemed to think that this matter was too abrupt, and immediately put down his sleeves, stepped forward to support Lisodoli, and said, "My dear, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lisodorii was deeply moved.

The Dragon Riders brushed off some of the snow on Lisuoduoli's body and asked slowly, "How is it going?"

"Reporting to the king, everything has been poured into the river!"

Lisuoduoli said in a deep voice, "According to the speed of the river, it will pass the Turkic camp tomorrow at the latest!"

"it is good!"

Long Tuqizhi laughed loudly, "Well done, you did a good job."

"I do not deserve such high praise from Your Majesty."

"I have ordered people to prepare delicious food for you. Go back and wash up and enjoy the food!"

Long Tuqizhi said in a deep voice, "When the Turkic army retreats, I will reward you for your merits!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lisodoli left.

Long Tuqizhi waved to the palace maid on the side, and the palace maid tactfully brought clean water to wash Long Tuqizhi's hands. Long Tuqizhi pondered and came to the sand table.

Now that the poison has been thrown into the river, it remains to be seen when the Turks will enjoy it.

Uh……

When he thought of those things, Long Tuqizhi couldn't help feeling nauseous.

If Yu Gushe drank this...

The scene was so beautiful that the Longtu Cavalry dared not imagine it any further.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, General Zuo has an urgent matter to discuss with you!"

"Xuan!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, begs your Majesty to come and see me."

"Uncle Wang, please take a seat."

Long Tuqizhi smiled and invited Long Qiliye to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, "Uncle Wang, you come to see me at this time, but what happened?"

Long Qi Liye nodded heavily, "I just received news that Turkic cavalry appeared in Bohuan City!"

Long Tuqizhi's face changed, "Bai Sufadi actually lent the road to Yu Gushe?"

Long Qi Liye shook his head. "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as lending the road to Yu Gushe. I suspect that Bai Sufadie has already surrendered to Yu Gushe!"

Bang!
The Long Tuqizhi slammed the table and stood up, "Damn it, this is so abominable!"

"How dare Bai Sufadie?!"

The surrender of the Kingdom of Kucha was like a thorn in the throat of the Longtu Qizhi.

Now Yu Gushe’s army can completely start from Bohuan City and march eastward to attack his Zuohui City.

At that time, he must arrange a large army to garrison in Zuohui City!
Sending troops to garrison Zuohui City to resist the Turkic army is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Zuohui City has no natural defenses to defend!

Zuohui City is not like Yuanqu City. It has large mountains and can block the Turkic army with just a city wall.

Facing the left side of the city is a broad road, the official road leading to Qiuci and Persia.

Once Zuohui City was captured by the Turks, the Turkish army could advance eastward all the way to Yuanqu City.

When he is attacked from both sides, how will he resist?

Damn damn it!

Long Tuqizhi couldn't help but curse continuously.

Long Qi Liye said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. We should prepare as soon as possible and seek the assistance of General Xue Wanche!"

Long Tuqizhi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Uncle Wang is right, we must defend Zuohui City, otherwise Yanqi will be in danger!"

"Somebody come!"

"Urgently summon General Xue Wanche of the Tang Dynasty to the palace for a talk!"

In just an incense stick of time, Xue Wanche arrived at the palace.

"I wonder why the king suddenly summoned me?"

"King Bai Sufadi of Kucha may have surrendered to Yugushe. A large Turkic army has appeared in Bohuan City!"

Long Tuqizhi briefly explained the reason, but Xue Wanche's face turned gloomy.

Long Tuqizhi continued, "Zuohui City has no natural defenses. Once the Turkic army breaks through Zuohui City, they will surely advance eastward and head straight for Yuanqu City."

"General Xue, I need you to arrange some men to go to Zuohui City with my uncle to resist the Turkic army!"

Xue Wanche nodded slowly, the importance of this matter was self-evident.

Once Zuohui City is captured, how long can Yuanqu City hold out?
Failure is only a matter of time!

only.

Zuohui City does not have the natural dangers of Yuanqu City. If it wants to stop the Turkic army, I am afraid that countless lives will be lost!

Xue Wanche said in a deep voice: "I wonder if your Majesty has any plan to repel the enemy?"

Long Tuqizhi said solemnly: "Please rest assured, General Xue, I have made arrangements. The army outside Yuanqu City will retreat within three to five days at the latest!"

"When the time comes, I will arrange for elite troops to rush to Zuohui City to assist you!"

"Only hold out for three to five days?"

"Yes, five days at most, three days at the fastest!"

"it is good!"

Xue Wanche nodded slowly, "If the king doesn't send reinforcements in five days, don't blame me, Xue Wanche, for abandoning the city."

"must!"

The Dragon Cavalry nodded heavily, "Thank you for your help, General Xue!"

"You are welcome, my king."

Xue Wanche bowed and said, "I need to go back to deploy. Goodbye."

call.

Xue Wanche's frankness made the Longtu Cavalry relax a lot.

All of Lisodorli's things have been thrown into the river, and tomorrow the river will flow through the Turkic camp.

Three days is enough to make the Turks feel unwell!

of course.

The Longtu Cavalry did not put all their treasures on poisoning!
If these things are of no use to the Turks, then we can only take a risky move!
"Uncle Wang, I will give you another two hundred elite soldiers. I hope you can defend Zuo Hui City!"

"I will do my best!"

Long Qi Liye looked solemn.

Even if you can't defend it, you must defend the left city.

Once Zuohui City is captured, the Yanqi Kingdom will be completely finished!
"The city is alive but the people are there, but the city is broken and people are dead!"

"please!"

Long Tuqizhi bowed deeply and said, "Send Uncle Wang out of the palace!"

Station.

Xue Wanche called Su Chen and others and immediately explained to them that the Longtu Cavalry had invited him to the palace.

"Split the troops?"

"When did they split up?"

"Do we also have to split up our forces and go to Zuo Hui City to provide assistance?"

Compared with the astonishment of Xu Fei and others, Su Chen seemed much calmer.

Su Chen had been thinking about this as early as when he realized that Dao Yu Gu's army would find it difficult to climb the city walls of Yuanqu City.

With such a natural barrier in front of him, how could Yu Gushe just sit there and wait for death when he knew he couldn't break through?

The troops and horses that could be sent to Xianlang Mountain were his plan, and the troops and horses that could be sent to the Kingdom of Qiuci were also his arrangement!
However, in comparison, the troops of Xianlang Mountain undoubtedly have more advantages.

Unfortunately, the troops from Xianlang Mountain were repelled by him, and Yuguse could only mobilize the troops from Qiuci Kingdom and order them to advance eastward and attack Zuohui City!
"Tell me what you think!"
