Chapter 1088

"Turkic reinforcements are coming! That's great!"

In an instant, Gaochang's civil and military officials cheered and breathed a sigh of relief. In the western regions, Gaochang's strength is to have a strong city and be invincible, which is why it runs rampant in the western regions.

In terms of military strength, West Turks are undoubtedly the most powerful. West Turks alone use more than 100000 people to control strings, which is a well deserved overlord in the western regions. The dispatch of 30000 troops from west Turks is not a weak force in itself, but also represents the attitude of West Turks. Now West Turks and Gaochang are united against the Tang Dynasty.

"How many Turkic warriors did general Helu bring?" Qu Zhisheng asked hurriedly.

"There are twenty thousand troops," the official reported.

All officials in Gaochang could not help but look happy. 30000 troops and horses are not a small number in the western regions, especially the brave Turkic warriors, which can be said to be the power to destroy the country in the western regions.

"Thirty thousand troops and horses!" Qu Zhisheng felt relieved. There were thirty thousand cavalry in the West Turks, and thirty thousand troops and horses in Gaochang headquarters. Coupled with the guard of Gaochang Jiancheng, this force was enough to fight 100000 Tang soldiers.

"Your Majesty, where's Tang Jun?" asked envoy Gaochang.

Qu Zhisheng looked at the Gaochang envoy coldly and said, "bury your father first, and then discuss to fight the Tang army."

"Meet the Tang army?" Gaochang envoy couldn't help staying for a while. Then he understood what Qu Zhisheng meant. It must be to unite West Turks against Datang. At the thought of Datang's golden iron horse, Gaochang envoy couldn't help but be frightened. However, seeing Qu Zhisheng's resolute face, he couldn't help swallowing the words he wanted to persuade.

Qu Zhisheng looked at his father's coffin with a flash of determination in his eyes. His father would rather die on the throne than go to Chang'an city. Is he willing to lose the newly acquired throne of Gaochang? Besides, he is not really desperate. The Western Turkic reinforcements are in Khan futu City, and Gaochang is not possible to hold on.

Due to the urgency of time, Ju Wentai, king of Gaochang, was buried in a hurry. Although Ju Wentai was simplified at the funeral, the specification was the highest among the royal families of Gaochang in previous dynasties. Almost the people of Gaochang City spontaneously came to see Ju Wentai off.

During Ju Wentai's reign, Gaochang made use of the advantages of the only channel of the Datang silk road to make Gaochang rich quickly, which benefited the people generally, which can be said to win the hearts of the people.

"I heard that the Tang army forced the former king to death this time."

"The first king had found Qinglong real medicine, but for Gaochang and to calm Datang's anger, he refused to take medicine and wanted to die."

"The more hateful king died for Gaochang, and Datang didn't let Gaochang go."

At the same time, a rumor that the Tang army forced Ju Wentai to death quietly spread among the people in Gaochang. Suddenly, all the people were filled with righteous indignation and humiliated Gaochang. It was that Ju Wentai's death did not calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty.

"Defeat Datang and avenge the former king!"

This roar can be found everywhere in Gaochang city. In addition to the officers and soldiers preparing for the war, the people of the whole city actively participate in the city defense, and are bound to have the determination to fight to the death with the Tang army.

"The king's plan, now the people of the whole city have been mobilized." an official came to report.

"Good!" Qu Zhisheng couldn't help but look happy. The news that Tang Jun forced Ju Wentai to die was sent out at his instigation. In order to increase gaochangcheng's determination to resist, he now ignored his father's reputation, and he believed that his father's spirit in heaven would agree with him.

"This time, a sad soldier will win, and Gaochang will surely defeat Datang." Qu Zhisheng has a pair of ambitions. Now Gaochang city is united, supported by a strong city and strong assistance, which gives him enough confidence to fight Datang.

Three days later, the fields were in the city.

"So, did Qu Zhisheng refuse to surrender?" it has been three days. There is no news from Qu Zhisheng. It seems that he is determined to resist.

"Tell the general! Qu Zhisheng doesn't know what's good or bad, refuses the general's kindness, and will be willing to attack Gaochang city as a forward and give Qu Zhisheng's head to the general!" Xin liaoer proudly stepped out of the column.

Xue Wanjun quickly stopped and said, "don't be reckless. According to the news from the scouts, ashnahoru, the famous Western Turk general, has led 20000 Turk cavalry to come. At present, he has been stationed in Khan futu city in the north of Gaochang. Our army must guard against it!"

The news that the Turkic cavalry came was released by Qu Zhi. The purpose was to let the Tang army retreat in the face of difficulties. Naturally, it spread to the ears of the Tang army scouts.

"Ashnahelu?" Hou Junji frowned. West Turk is an old opponent of the Tang army. Naturally, he knows how difficult Turk cavalry is, and ashnahelu is a rare famous general of Turks.

"What about Turks? How can I be afraid of him?" Niu JINDA said fiercely.

"Come on, my general has been waiting for the troops and horses of West Turk." Hou Junji got up and said.

When they used the sand table to deduce, they had expected that the Western Turks would intervene in the war between Datang and Gaochang, otherwise it would use hundreds of thousands of troops, 30000 troops would be enough to level Gaochang, and the remaining 70000 troops were to prevent the Western Turks.

"What's the power of Qixin?" Hou Junji shouted.

Qixin He Li responded and said, "the end will be here!"

Hou Junji shouted, "you can order 10000 cavalry immediately and go to Khan futu city. You don't want to attack the city, just stare at ashnahoru!"

After the water shortage in the Gobi desert, Qixin Heli has been fully trusted by Hou Junji. Moreover, under the original sand table deduction, the East Turkic cavalry led by Qixin Heli was used to defend the West Turkic cavalry.

"The end will take command!" Qixin Heli arched his hand. Although the West Turk and the East Turk share the same origin, each tribe is scattered in many places and has little feelings. Besides, the Qixin tribe to which Qixin Heli belongs does not live well in Turk, otherwise it will not follow the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Hou Junji's task is not heavy this time. It is just to contain the West Turk, and Qixin Heli naturally completes it with all his strength.

"Xin liao'er, the general ordered you to be the vanguard, lead 10000 cavalry and open the way for the army!" Hou Junji ordered.

"I will obey!" Xin liao'er was overjoyed and took the order quickly.

The forward of the big army is the easiest position to take credit. Xin liaoer fought bravely and made great achievements in the battle of Tiancheng. It's reasonable to be shouldered by Hou Junji at the moment. When Hou Junji handed over the task of the forward to Xin liaoer, the generals had no opinion.

After arranging everything, Hou Junji looked around at the generals and said solemnly, "leave 5000 people to guard Tiantian City, and the rest of the army set out for Gaochang city."

Tiancheng is the back road and base camp of the Tang army. Naturally, there are enough people to guard it. Five thousand Tang troops are enough to guard Tiancheng.

"Yes!" the generals took orders.

Soon, after a three-day rest, the restored Tang army immediately reorganized and headed for Gaochang city.
