"Father! Tiantian city has been captured by the Tang army!" in the Gaochang palace, Prince Qu Zhisheng reported to Ju Wentai on his sickbed in fear.


    Ju Wentai, who was on his sickbed, trembled. After a long time, he said weakly, "how long did the Tang army capture Tiancheng!"


    A trace of fear flashed in Qu Zhisheng''s eyes and said, "it took only half a day for the Tang army to capture Tiancheng."


    "Half a day!" Ju Wentai was bitter. Tiantian city was an important town of Gaochang, and the city leader was Ju Wensheng, the royal family of Gaochang. There was no doubt about his determination to resist, but now it was broken by the Tang army in only half a day.


    "Scouts reported that there was a violent explosion in the direction of Tiancheng. I think Tang Jun used gunpowder." Qu Zhisheng said helplessly.


    "The power of gunpowder is so?" Ju Wentai was terrified. Tiancheng only lasted half a day in the attack of Tang army and gunpowder. Gaochang city is naturally much better than Tiancheng, and how long can it last.


    "Seal all the gates immediately, and don''t let Tang army''s gunpowder succeed!" coincidentally, Ju Wentai also thought of this way to defend gunpowder.


    "Don''t worry, father. I''ve already ordered the soldiers." Prince Qu Zhisheng nodded.


    Ju Wentai was a little relieved. He was weak and lay on his bed without any strength.


    "The father is at ease. The child has found Qinglong real medicine for his father. Gaochang still needs his father to take the seat in person before he can defeat the Tang army!" Qu Zhisheng stretched out his hand and a doctor took a Qinglong real medicine. Now the Tang army is attacking on a large scale, Gaochang can''t lack his father to take the seat.


    Qinglong genuine medicine is extremely valuable, and it is passed down in the western countries. Most serious diseases are immediate and can last for the first time!


    Ju Wentai''s eyes brightened when he saw Qinglong''s real medicine. However, he finally shook his head and refused the temptation to continue his life.


    "Father!" Qu Zhisheng wanted to persuade him again.


    "My father''s body knows that even if I take Qinglong real medicine, I''m afraid I won''t live long. Instead, I''d better use my father''s life to calm Datang''s anger and strive for a glimmer of life for my son." Ju Wentai looked at Qu Zhisheng and said softly.


    "Father can''t?" Qu Zhisheng was shocked at the speech and urged Ju Wentai to take Qinglong real medicine.


    Ju Wentai said with a tragic smile, "even if this medicine can really bring back the dead to life? If you are lucky for your father, I am afraid you will be brought back to Chang''an City by the Tang army. Xiang Jieli will generally dance for the Tang emperor and humiliate you all your life. If you are unlucky, I am afraid you will be led back by the Tang army like Fu Yun. It is a fluke that your father can die honorably on the throne."


    It''s night! After the death of Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, Prince Qu Zhisheng ascended the throne. The whole Gaochang city was white and plain.


    "What, Ju Wentai is dead!"


    In Tiantian City, Hou Junji looked at the Gaochang envoy and said in surprise that the main purpose of their trip was to take Ju Wentai to Chang''an to apologize to Tian Khan. Unexpectedly, Ju Wentai had died before the army reached Gaochang city.


    "You won''t be scared to death by our army!" Xin liao''er laughed and said wildly.


    Hou Junji could not help showing a trace of pride when he heard the speech. If it was spread that his army had not arrived, he would scare the other king to death. This would certainly become a good talk.


    When Gaochang envoy heard that Xin liao''er was so stigmatized as the supreme emperor, he immediately dared to be angry.


    "So now King Gaochang is Prince Qu Zhisheng." Hou Junji said.


    Gaochang envoy nodal head said, "Lord Hui Shangshu, your Highness the prince has succeeded to the throne overnight. Now the king of Gaochang is his Highness the prince."


    "Come on! What does Qu Zhisheng have to say? If it''s the previous nonsense, forget it!" Hou Junji waved his hand.


    Gao Chang''s envoy hardened his head and said, "the king said that he has always been dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. It was the former king who offended the Tang Dynasty before. Please raise your hand, Lord Shangshu. In the future, Gao Chang will follow the lead of the Tang Dynasty."


    Hearing that Gao Chang was soft, the generals couldn''t help laughing.


    Hou Junji said proudly, "it''s not impossible to let Qu Zhisheng go. As long as he can bind his hands and come to the Tang army to apologize in person, the general will ensure his safety."


    "This......" envoy Gao Chang said with a puzzled face.


    Hou Junji sneered and said, "you just need to send a message to Qu Zhisheng. Would you like him to choose for himself? My Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. I want to give Gaochang three days to mourn just after Ju Wentai''s death. If Gaochang doesn''t surrender after three days, don''t blame the general for his lack of hospitality."


    "Shangshu, please raise your hand!" Gaochang envoy repeatedly begged for mercy.


    "Come and see off!" Hou Junji waved his hand. Now Datang has a foothold in Tiancheng. Gaochang should be in urgent need.


    "Please!" Xin liao''er went forward and invited envoy Gao Chang out.


    After Gaochang envoy left, Hou Junji looked around at the generals and said, "the whole army will rest for three days. After three days, no matter whether Gaochang surrenders or not, send troops to Gaochang city immediately."


    With Hou Junji''s character, how can we care about the so-called etiquette? The Tang army crossed the Gobi for two thousand miles and marched for days to capture Tiancheng. His body has already been overdrawn. Now he has Tiancheng as the base. After three days of correction, the Tang army will certainly return to its peak. You know, in the next war, they will face Gaochang City, which is known as the first male city in the western regions.


    "Ink offering wine, this time Gaochang city depends on you!" Hou Junji looked at Merton solemnly this time.


    Merton suddenly got up and arched his hand. "The firearm supervisor will certainly live up to the general''s expectations."


    Xin liao''er on one side couldn''t help but sneer, but when he thought about the power of gunpowder, he couldn''t help swallowing the sarcasm.


    In the Gaochang palace, Qu Zhisheng, the new king of Gaochang, is anxiously pacing up and down. If he inherited the Gaochang throne at ordinary times, he is naturally full of joy. However, at the moment, the Tang army is pressing the border, and the Gaochang throne is a hot potato! But put him on the fire.


    "Return to your majesty, the envoys sent to the Tang army have returned!" a general Hui reported.


    Qu Zhisheng hurriedly greeted him and asked the envoy, "how about Tang Jun?"


    Looking at Qu Zhisheng''s expectant eyes, the envoy bowed his head and said, "Hou Junji said that as long as the king binds his hands to the Tang army to apologize, he will let Gao Chang go."


    Qu Zhisheng blushed and said, "it''s too much to deceive people. The king bound his hands to the Tang army. The Tang Dynasty wants to conquer Gaochang without a single soldier."


    "But the Tang army is powerful and with the help of gunpowder, Gaochang is really hard to resist!" an official said anxiously.


    "That''s right. I advised the first king not to offend Datang, but the first king didn''t listen. Now it''s good. There''s a disaster."


    "Even the Turks and Tuyuhun were defeated by the Tang army. Our Gaochang strength is worse than that of the two countries. This time, Gaochang is doomed."


    In an instant, the whole Gaochang palace was filled with grief.


    Qu Zhisheng''s face was hard to see. He naturally wanted to keep Gaochang, but once he angered Tang Jun, he might end up like falling in love. However, if he surrendered with his hands tied, Gaochang would be doomed to lose his life, and the throne he had just won would disappear.


    When Qu Zhisheng was in a dilemma, he suddenly gave a notice, which let him see hope.


    "Tell the king that general ashnahoru has led a Turkic army and will arrive at Khan futu city in a few days."


    Qu Zhisheng was overjoyed at the speech. The West Turkic reinforcements arrived. This time, Gaochang was saved.
