Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

The light is very faint.

The air also has a strong earthy smell.

However, there are a lot of people here.

There is a sentry every five steps and a guard post every three steps. These words cannot describe the strictness of the place.

Even birds can't fly out.

Forget about birds, even a fly is nice.

In the deepest part of the prison, in a huge iron cage.

Jie Li Khan, Tuli Khan, Jie Li Langya...
All the surviving Turkic Khans were thrown in here.

It swept away the so-called arrogance and heroic image.

The hair is dry and frizzy.

His face turned pale.

Eyes dull.

Feeling depressed.

Just like a beggar on the street!!

“How could this happen… How could this happen… How could this happen!!”

"Let me go, let me go, let me go...Your Highness, come out here, I want to fight you to the death!!"

Jie Li Khan held the cold cage in his hands and kept murmuring these words through his cracked lips.

His voice has gone hoarse.

He has been shouting since he came in.

From the howling at the beginning to the weak murmur now.

He cannot accept it.

He really couldn't accept it!

Not only him, but the people around him also looked like withered wood.

Sitting there, completely confused.

They really couldn't understand it. They were about to win, and the situation was obviously very good for them, but how could it be... how could it suddenly become like this?

Such a contrast, such an extreme contrast, they couldn't accept it.

What the hell are those people?

With only 20,000 men, they defeated his own army of 400,000!

Can this be true?
They want to curse!
Even the king of heaven doesn't have such a large army! !
They wanted to drink the blood and skin the so-called Highness! !
They couldn't accept it.

"Your Highness, damn Your Highness, damn it, who does he think he is, who does he think he is! If you have the ability... to fight me in single combat, then fight me in single combat!!"

"why why why!"

Jie Li Khan wanted to break the iron railings, but he was really wrong.

The prison did not move at all.

"Father, calm down. Don't be anxious. Don't be anxious. Who knows, someone might come to save us."

"Once the Prince of Wei's Palace and the noble families hear this news, they will definitely not sit idly by."

Jie Li Lang Ya hurriedly supported Jie Li Khan, trying to calm him down and conserve his strength.

Jie Li Khan stared at him coldly.

Tuli Khan and his men also looked at Jie Li Langya.

Prince Wei's Mansion!
Aristocratic family!

If he hadn't said anything, they would have seemed to have forgotten about it.

"The Prince of Wei's Mansion... the nobles... what are they doing? Why didn't they inform us in the Northern Frontier in advance and tell His Highness about this bullshit!"

"Waste, waste, waste, damn things, what are they for? Why don't you tell us? What's the use of them!"

Jie Li Khan was extremely angry.

He was really about to explode.

Tuli Khan swallowed his saliva, his eyes dazed.

"Father, this news, maybe... maybe they don't know either."

Jie Li Lang Ya shrank his head.

"They don't know either? This group of people came from the Tang Dynasty. If they came from the Tang Dynasty, how could they not know?"

"I know, I know, this is a setup, the Prince of Wei's Mansion and the nobles have joined forces to strangle us!!"

"We've fallen into a trap, definitely a trap! These people must be from the Prince of Wei's Palace and the nobles. Otherwise, who else in the entire Tang Dynasty could train such a large army!"

Jie Li Khan started yelling wildly again.

He was really shocked and somewhat helpless.

Jie Li Lang Ya swallowed hard.

Are those people from the Prince of Wei’s Palace and the aristocratic families?
this…….
He knew it was impossible.

If this were true, the Wei Palace and the aristocratic families would never be so angry at the Tang Emperor, but they were helpless and could only rely on the Turks to resolve the issue.

But who are those people?

damn it!
Where on earth are they from? !

"Khan, stop talking nonsense. We still have a chance. The Wei Palace and the nobles will not harm us. This will not benefit them at all."

"The one who harmed us is the so-called Highness supported by this group of soldiers!"

Tuli Khan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the intelligence provided by the nobles was accurate before, but... they seemed to have no idea that such a large army existed in the world."

Shiwei Khan agreed.

"Yeah, hahahaha... Who the hell could have thought that the Tang Dynasty still had such a force? Damn it, our army of 400,000, this is an army of 400,000, but we were defeated by 20,000 people. We... We deserve to be captured!"

"Really? Even if it's pigs, 400,000 pigs, it's impossible for them to collapse so quickly!"

"Four hundred thousand, this is four hundred thousand, not forty thousand, but they were turned upside down by a mere twenty thousand people. Now we are locked up here, and we can't blame anyone else."

"Young Master... Young Master... Huh... Is God unfair? Khan, the Tang Dynasty has produced so many great men, but why has my Turkic people not had a great general in all these years?"

"The ancestors were blind, the ancestors were blind!!"

"......."

In the cage, all the Khans who once dominated the grassland had bitter taste in their mouths.

I can't believe it at all.

Four hundred thousand troops.

This is an army of 400,000!

This is fucking a breakdown.

Jie Li Khan fell silent. He listened to the conversations around him, his face full of resentment. He staggered two steps and squatted on the ground.

His eyes were still blank, staring blankly at the darkness around him.

Yes!

It seems that no one can be blamed for all this. Even if it were 400,000 pigs, they would not collapse so quickly, but the Turkic army...
hiss…….
When Jie Li Khan thought of this, he took a deep breath and felt his head getting a little dizzy.

puff…….
At this moment, he spurted out blood in one breath and then fainted.

"Sir!"

"Deserves to be killed!!"

At the moment of fainting, these two sentences uttered from his mouth.

…….…….…….
Changan.

The same can be said, a blood flag madly entered the city.

The horse's hooves roared without stopping.

From Suzaku Avenue, go straight to Suzaku Gate.

On the street, the people of Chang'an looked at the bloody figure disappearing in an instant and immediately put down all the busyness in their hands.

They rushed to look towards the direction of the imperial city.

A letter has come from Northern Xinjiang!

It must be a letter from Northern Xinjiang!

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious.

"Could it be that General Li has already arrived at Yunzhou City? That shouldn't be the case. Even if General Li is moving at full speed, he still can't reach Yunzhou City now. At least, it will take another three or four days."

"Yes, but this blood-flag officer must have come from the northern border. Could it be that Yunzhou City... Yunzhou City has fallen?"

"What? This..."

"It's possible. It's very possible! Yunzhou City has fallen. Oh my God, the Turks are really coming. They are really going to continue to move south."

"Is the Tang Dynasty going to be trampled by foreigners again? After all these days of waiting, this is the result. Damn it, damn it!!"

"It's over, it's over, it's really over this time, let's go, let's go quickly, don't hope for the best, it's still not too late to go to Jiangnan now." "Jiangnan? Jiangnan is useless, listen to me, come with me to Lingnan, it's a remote place, maybe the Turks can't reach it."

"General Cheng and General Yuchi couldn't stop the Turks. I don't know who else can resist the violent Turks."

"Ah... We should have known this result long ago. The northern border defense line didn't work at all. The Turks blocked the reinforcements. This... This is clearly something the Turks had planned for a long time."

"It's over, it's over, it's over! Is this the end of my Great Tang Dynasty?"

"......."

Changan.

It can be said that in an instant, all kinds of rumors spread.

With the Blood Flag Officer's entry into the city, the news spread rapidly and soon covered the entire city.

The people of Chang'an were completely panicked.

….………….….
Chang'an, the imperial city.

Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, all the food and fodder for the army has been sent to the northern border."

"The guards from all over the country mobilized by the imperial court have also rushed to Chang'an."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. It won't be long before we can drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty!"

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The pharmacist is heading north quickly. If we count the days, he will soon meet up with Yaojin and his men. By then, with the pharmacist in charge, the Turks won't be able to cause any trouble."

Zhangsun Wuji also tried to comfort him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We all know that Yunzhou City's defensive capabilities are not comparable to those of ordinary cities. It will definitely be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

"Besides, the Turks are fierce and brave, but they are not good at siege warfare. Your Majesty, don't worry. Take a good rest. Maybe when you wake up, our Tang Dynasty will have won."

Wei Zheng echoed repeatedly.

The three of them looked at Li Shimin worriedly.

Li Shimin sat behind the table with a dull look on his face. His face was extremely thin and his beard had grown very long and thick, but he had no time to shave.

He looked as if his spirit had been drained out, and his pupils were full of bloodshot.

The dark circles under my eyes are almost covering my entire eyebrows.

Your Majesty is overdrawing his body.

All three of them were very clear about this.

If this continues, the war may not be over yet and His Majesty may die suddenly.

The three were anxious.

But there is nothing we can do.

There is no way, there is really no way at all.

They are also extremely worried about the war in the northern border. They are really worried!
Damn Turkic dogs!!
Yunzhou City, can it still hold out now?

Why…….
The three of them sighed inwardly.

Even though their words of consolation were good, they themselves did not quite believe the content of those words.

Can Yunzhou City really wait for reinforcements?

If Yunzhou City is broken, then Chang'an will be in real danger.

Li Shimin raised his eyes with difficulty.

He looked at the three people who were also in extremely bad spirits, took a deep breath and shook his head.

"How can I sleep well when something like this happened in Yunzhou City?"

"How long has it been? There is still no news from Yunzhou City. Yunzhou City has been cut off from us by the Turks. You and I both know the consequences of this."

"Yunzhou City, I'm afraid it will be difficult, huh..."

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

"Assistant, Wei Zheng, Ke Ming!"

"Tell the pharmacist that if Yunzhou City is breached, we must block the passage of the Turks southwards, at any cost!!"

"The people of Chang'an... the people of Chang'an cannot bear the sight of the Turkic army approaching the city again. I... I... I really don't have the face to see the saintly rulers of all dynasties."

"Hahahaha...I, I am really that bad!"

"Think of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, each of them had great achievements and made great contributions to the world, but I..."

"It's my fault that I still boast about myself and them."

Li Shimin's face was full of annoyance and bitter smile.

There was silence in the Taiji Palace.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at each other and closed their eyes, not knowing what to say.

They knew that this incident was a huge blow to His Majesty.

I would like to ask, has there ever been any monarch in history whose capital was attacked by foreign races twice in a row?
Not to mention that Your Majesty has lofty ambitions.

Li Shimin smiled painfully, and gently pressed his hand on the imperial seal on the table.

"I am sorry for this imperial seal."

Li Shimin sighed.

At this time, suddenly, outside the door...
Da da da! !

Bang bang bang! !

The hurried sound of horse hooves completely woke up the originally silent Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin and the other three looked over suddenly.

The blood-flag officer had dismounted and knelt on the ground.

Li Junxian stood at the door and led the left and right Jinwu guards to completely block the gate of Taiji Palace.

The Blood Flag Officer is here, which means that something absolutely confidential has arrived, so no one is allowed to disturb him.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Yunzhou City!"

The blood-flag officer roared in a hoarse voice.

Li Shimin was shocked.

Bangdang…….
Because he stood up so suddenly, the stool behind him fell to the ground.

But at this moment, Li Shimin was no longer able to help him up.

Holding his robe, he rushed over in a hurry.

Beside them, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also had their pupils shrunken as they stared closely at the bamboo tube in the blood flag officer's hand.

Clenched fists tightly.

My palms are already full of sweat.

information!

News from Yunzhou City!

Is it good or bad?

They didn't dare to imagine it, but they were already prepared in their hearts for the Yunzhou insects to be defeated.

Have no idea.

Time is too urgent.

Without reinforcements, the northern border defense line completely collapsed. How could the isolated island of Yunzhou City withstand the charge of 400,000 Turkic troops?

call…….
hiss…….
In the Taiji Palace, everyone's breathing became crazy and rapid.

Li Shimin grabbed the bamboo tube.

He didn't hesitate.

Eyes determined.

The veins are raised.

Bangta!

The lid on the bamboo tube was thrown to the ground by Li Shimin.

Take out a brocade book.

spread out.

Li Shimin looked over.

Time slips away bit by bit.

But Li Shimin was like being nailed to the spot, unable to move.

His eyes were stunned!

The corners of his eyebrows were frozen!

His breathing stopped! (End of this chapter)
