Chapter 267 I can¡¯t trap Li Zhen even if I am my daughter
Watching the gate of Diazhuan City open in the distance, Li Zhen stood up and saw countless people escaping from Dihuai City and running towards the front.
Cheng Chuli spit out the meat he chewed, and then said: "What are the people of Kucha doing? Why did they let the people out?"
Shangguan Yi on the side said: "I understand."
"Sir Shangguan, what do you understand?" Cheng Chuli asked.
"The Kucha people were besieged by us and their food routes were cut off. This must be because the Kucha people wanted to save food and give the people a way to survive, so they opened the city and released the people to allow them to flee."
"It makes sense." Everyone said one after another.
Li Zhen frowned, crossed her fingers, and said, "There's something fishy about this."
"We have only been besieging the city for a few days. Logically speaking, the food in the city should be sufficient. We should not release the people so quickly."
"Well maybe the people of Qiuci want to keep the water flowing and save food." Cheng Chuli said.
"Chu Li, take some people to arrest a few people and question them."
"good!"
After a while, Cheng Chuli arrested a few people and came back. Li Zhen asked them again, but found nothing unusual.
Li Zhen slapped her forehead and said, "I know!"
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Everyone looked at Li Zhen.
"The Kucha people must have sent someone to mix among the people and escape to ask for help."
"Reinforcement? In a situation like Kucha's, is there anyone in the entire Western Region who can help them?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Western Turks! The Kucha people must ask for help from the Western Turks!" Li Zhen said.
Since the Turks split the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks, they have still maintained strong strength. Later, the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but the Western Turks still had wars and peace with the Tang Dynasty.
The Western Turks are powerful and have nothing to fear from the Tang Dynasty. The current Western Turk Khan, Yi Bi Du Lu, is even more ambitious. He always wants to restore the former glory of the Turks and is also eyeing the Tang Dynasty.
Now in the Western Region, the only people the Kucha people can ask for help from are the Western Turks.
Cheng Chuli said: "Your Highness, do you think the Western Turks will offend the Tang Dynasty in order to save Qiuci?"
"If Yibidulu has no ambitions and does not want to strengthen the Western Turks, then he will stand still. But if Yibidulu has ambitions towards Qiuci and wants to strengthen the Western Turks, then he will definitely come to help."
"If Kucha is annexed by the Tang Dynasty, then the Western Turks will never have the chance to take it back. Only by defeating the Tang Dynasty can they take Kucha as their own."
"So, the Western Turks will definitely send troops?" Shangguan Yi said.
"this¡¡"
"Yibiduulu will definitely send troops!" It was Nina who said this.
Nina was originally a princess of the Western Turks. Her father, the Khan Yibidulu, took him in, but unexpectedly, he was captured by Jiu, defeated by the Khan Yibidulu, and eventually died.
Nina was also a princess who fled to the Tang Dynasty and became a slave girl of the Tang people. If it weren't for Li Zhen, her current fate would be unimaginable.
??????????? Nina has the right to say about Yibidulu Khan.
Li Zhen nodded. He believed Nina's words and immediately said: "It seems that we must be fully prepared to meet the reinforcements from the Western Turks."
Li Zhen said immediately: "Drive all these people back to the city, and don't let anyone go!"
With Li Zhen¡¯s order, thousands of people who had been released from Kucha City were driven back again.
Pluming the city, on the hall, a sad cloud.
Ye Hu's trick was discovered by Li Zhen, and the thousands of people who left the city, as well as the spies who were mixed in, were all driven back to Kucha City.
Helibu had a sad look on his face. Even if he wanted to ask the Turks to help him, it was impossible. Could it be that Qiuci would be destroyed because of this?
"Are you all mute? What am I asking you? Who can make the Tang army retreat???" Helibushibi roared.
Ye Hu left the squad and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may allow the Tang army to retreat."
"Oh? What can I do?" Helibu's eyes lit up.
Ye Hu said: "In this expedition, the Tang army's commander is Prince Li Zhen. This Li Zhen is full of tricks and cunning, but he also has weaknesses."
"What's the weakness?" Haribushibi asked.
"His weakness is women. Li Zhen is a lustful person. He has married five wives and concubines in the Tang Dynasty. During this expedition, he married Yina, the most beautiful woman in the Ministry of Secret Affairs. This shows that this person is lustful. If we use beauty Lure him with lust and then assassinate him. As long as he kills Li Zhen, the Tang army will be in chaos. If our army attacks the Tang army again, it will definitely defeat the Tang army."
Helibushibi shook his head and said: "It's a good idea, but Li Zhen has seen a lot of women, so she must have a very high vision. In such a hurry, where can I find the kind of beauties who will conquer the country?"
Ye Hu said: "I do have someone to choose from, but I'm just afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to let him go."
"This is a major event related to the life and death of Qiuci. What can I be reluctant to part with? Tell me quickly, where is the candidate?"
Ye Hu glanced at Halibushi Bi with a troubled face, and then said: "I think that your majesty's two twin daughters, the two princesses Guli and Guzhen, can take on this responsibility."
"What? You actually have an idea for Guli and Guzhen? How disgusting!" Haribushibi roared again.
Guli and Guzhen are twins. They are only seventeen years old this year. The two sisters look exactly the same. They are the most beautiful women in Qiuci and the apple of Halibushibi's eye.
How could Haribu Shibi be willing to give his two beloved daughters to Li Zhen?
"Your Majesty, I believe that as long as I can kill Li Zhen, everything will be worth it. Gu Li and Gu Zhen are the most beautiful women in Qiuci and have been loyal to Your Majesty. Only they can be qualified for the task of assassinating Li Zhen."
"No, absolutely not!" Halibu shook his head like a wave drum.
"Your Majesty, this is the only chance for Qiuci. Only by sacrificing Princess Guli and Guzhen can we have a chance to kill Li Zhen. Only then can we turn defeat into victory and defeat the Tang army!" Ye Hu knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" All the ministers knelt down to Halibushibi.
Halibu sat helplessly on the throne. He knew that if Guli and Guzhen were sent to assassinate Li Zhen, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, Guli and Guzhen would definitely not survive. The thought of losing two treasures Daughter, after the loss of Haribu, he felt that his heart was severely blocked.
If there were other ways, Haribushibi would never sacrifice his precious daughter, but now, with a hundred thousand Tang troops besieging the city, he really had no other way to think of.
For the sake of Qiuci, it seems that the only choice is to sacrifice his daughter.
Thinking of this, Haribu¡¯s blind eyes shed muddy tears (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
