Chapter 1083

"Strong walls and clear fields? It seems that Gaochang is ready!" Hou Junji looked at the empty pasture and couldn't help humming coldly.

The Tang army marched across seven thousand miles to Gaochang. The burden of food and grass was extremely heavy. Although there was compressed dry food, the food and grass of the Tang army could only be used for about a month at most. Eating the enemy was the most important strategy of the Tang army. Obviously, this time Ju Wentai Xue Wanjun frowned and said, "Ju Wentai has ambitions. Since he dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty, he has naturally been prepared for the move of the Tang Dynasty."

"Unfortunately, empty ambition will only harm Gaochang! Our army's grain is enough to support January, and Gaochang's city can resist our army for a few days." Hou Junji sneered.

"Report! Gaochang envoy!" suddenly a scout hurried to convey a military report to Hou Junji.

"Envoy Gaochang?" the generals were stunned.

Hou Junji laughed and said, "it seems Ju Wentai can't sit still. Let's listen to what he said."

Soon, a seemingly unassuming Gaochang envoy, but his flashing eyes exposed his inner panic.

"I've seen you Chinese generals! Gaochang and Datang have always been friendly. I don't know why Datang launched troops to attack Gaochang without any reason. Aren't you afraid of the cold hearts of the western countries?" the envoy of Gaochang was fierce and weak.

Although he knew that the two armies would not kill envoys in the war, his confidence suddenly disappeared when he saw the lineup of the 100000 troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Hou Junji stared at Gaochang envoy and sneered: "attack Gaochang for no reason? Gaochang intercepted Tang envoys of western countries for no reason, blocked the Silk Road, and launched troops to attack Yanqi for no reason, regardless of his Majesty's order. His Majesty gave him the opportunity to make Chang'an defend himself, but he said he was ill. It can be said that Gaochang asked for the disaster of knife soldiers today, and can't blame Tang."

Gaochang envoy hurriedly explained: "misunderstandings, these are misunderstandings. Gaochang never meant to offend Datang. My king is really seriously ill and fainted to the ground not long ago. It's really inappropriate to go all the way to Chang'an."

"You don't think it's meaningless to say this now. Go ahead. What did Ju Wentai ask you to bring! If it's just this nonsense, you can go back." Hou Junji waved his hand.

Gao Chang's envoy's face stiffened and said, "my king said that Gao Chang is willing to make friends with Datang forever, abide by Datang's silk system, and ask Datang to stop troops so as not to hurt his peace."

"If Gao Chang had known so well, why should we travel so long? 100000 soldiers and soldiers suffer such crimes." Hou Junji sighed.

With a happy face, envoy Gaochang handed a tray and opened the silk cloth. Suddenly, a plate of dazzling diamonds came into the eyes of the generals. Each one was comparable to giving it to ashnahoru.

"Surely we won't let the generals suffer this crime in vain. It's my king's little care. If the Tang Dynasty stops fighting, my king will have a generous reward and a heavy gift to Tian Khan." envoy Gaochang said respectfully.

Hou Junji looked at Gaochang envoy holding a diamond worth ten thousand gold to show it to a group of generals. When he turned to Merton, he couldn't help laughing and said, "it's ridiculous. Let's forget it. It's ridiculous for you to use the things produced by the Mohist school to buy ink to sacrifice wine."

The generals couldn't help laughing when they heard the speech. Diamonds are really valuable and have been fried into sky high prices. However, diamonds are produced by Mojia village. If Mojia Zi hasn't seen any diamonds, he won't be moved. Gaochang made a big joke this time.

"Mojia village, Mojia Zi!" Gao Chang's envoy was not only shocked when he heard the speech, but obviously heard of the reputation of Mojia Zi.

In fact, in the western regions, the reputation of Mojia Zi is at its zenith. However, the goods produced by Mojia village are valuable in the western regions. Whoever can own the goods of Mojia village represents wealth and status. At the same time, the reputation of Mojia Zi in the western regions not only represents wealth, but also represents terror. The battle of Tuyuhun. Mojia Zi anticipates that Tiangou eats the sun in advance, but also reverses Yin and Yang with gunpowder, It can be spread in the western regions. There are all kinds of legends and rumors.

Gaochang envoy couldn't help laughing bitterly. This time, the king miscalculated. Of course, Ju Wentai's miscalculation was not to use diamonds to buy mojiazi, but Datang's determination. Datang even sent mojiazi who controlled gunpowder to Gaochang. It can be imagined that Datang was bound to win this war.

Hou Junji waved his big hand and said to the discouraged Gaochang envoy, "if you want to keep Gaochang, tell Ju Wentai to give up resistance and tie himself out of the city. Maybe there will be a way to live with the general to Chang'an and apologize to tiankhan."

Looking at Gaochang envoy's embarrassed retreat, Hou Junji Yu Guang swept the tray in his hand and flashed a trace of greed, but he hummed coldly in his heart: "Gaochang is really rich. Just a few diamonds want to buy Ben Jiang. Once Ben will beat Gaochang, all the treasures will not be given."

After Gaochang's envoy left, Hou Junji said to the generals, "now Gaochang is ready and sends someone to ask for peace. What do you think our army should do now?"

Xue Wanjun arched his hands and said, "general, Ju Wentai is not credible. He has been wavering between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks before. Now our army is under the city, he naturally whispers for peace. Once he waits for the reinforcements of the Western Turks, he will turn his face immediately."

Niu JINDA echoed: "yes, not to mention that we are far away from the Tang Dynasty and lack of food and grass. Now the most important thing is to solve the problem of food and grass. Once it is delayed for a long time, I'm afraid our army will be very passive."

Hou Junji sneered: "our army has come over thousands of miles and exhausted countless money and food. After suffering, how can we stop because Ju Wentai said a few words."

"The general is wise!" all the generals agreed. Up to now, Datang is on the line and has to start. Only by conquering Gaochang can we do our best in this war.

"As for the food and grass problem, Gaochang cities have been prepared for us. Ju Wentai thinks that Gaochang's strong walls and clear fields can make Datang retreat in the face of difficulties, but he doesn't know what the general wants. As long as he breaks through Gaochang City, Datang won't have to run more." Hou Junji sneers, pointing to the city nearest to Tang army.

"Tian Cheng!" the generals frowned as they looked at the map.

Tiancheng is the Acropolis of Gaochang city and the only way to Gaochang. Tiancheng undertakes the important task of protecting Gaochang. The natural city has strong walls and is a hard bone to chew.

"Tiancheng is not easy to fight!" Xue Wanjun frowned when he recalled the military newspaper about Tiancheng.

Hou Junji laughed and said, "if it was in the past, it would not be easy to fight. However, with firearms in prison, how long can Tiancheng last?"

Merton arched his hand and said, "the end will certainly go all out!"

Hou Junji solemnly said: "it's not going all out, but we must win Tiancheng. This war is not only related to the food and grass of our army, but also related to the follow-up actions of our army. If we can't even win the small Tiancheng, how can we capture Gaochang city."

The capture of Tiancheng can not only raise enough food and grass for the Tang army, but also let the Tang army have a city as a base, which can be attacked and defended.
