Chapter 271 Internal Coaxing in Qiuci
At this time, Haribu was standing at the top of the city, his eyes full of helplessness.
Standing at the top of the city, he had already received the news that Ye Hu had been ambushed by the Tang army, and the 20,000 elite Kucha troops who had left the city were completely wiped out.
After the loss of Haribu, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to lose his daughter and lose his army.
At the same time, Halibushibi was also very emotional about Ye Hu's death.
Ye Hu is a wise man from Qiuci. He has always been deeply wary of his younger brother, always worried that Ye Hu would steal his throne.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. At the most critical moment in Qiuci, it was Ye Hu who sacrificed his life to protect the country. I really blamed him wrongly.
However, with the death of Ye Hu, 20,000 elite soldiers were annihilated. Now, there are only 30,000 old and weak soldiers left in the city. There is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside. Is Qiuci really going to perish?
If he surrenders to Datang now, what will Li Zhen do to him?
She sent her two daughters to assassinate him and sent troops to attack him. If she surrendered, would Li Zhen forgive her and leave her alive?
After Harib¡¯s death, his mood hit rock bottom for a moment, and he completely lost confidence in the victory of the war.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and decided to surrender to Datang.
At that moment, Haribushibi summoned his ministers and told them that he would surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
"The king really wants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?" a voice asked, and the speaker was Maha, Halibushibi's other brother.
Haribushi Bi had two younger brothers. The second brother Ye Hu was resourceful and a famous wise man in Qiuci, but he has died in the battle. The third brother Maha was famous for his bravery and was a famous warrior in the Western Regions. With these two younger brothers, both civil and military, Haribushibi and Qiuci were able to persevere until now.
Maha was also involved in the sneak attack on the Tang army tonight. However, due to his superior force and good luck, Maha was able to fight his way out and fled back to the city with more than a thousand of his henchmen.
Hearing that Haribu wanted to surrender, Maha immediately stopped.
Maha was covered in blood and said with red eyes: "Did Ye Hu and tens of thousands of soldiers shed their blood in vain? I will never agree to surrender!"
After the defeat, Halibu said: "How can we defeat the Tang army's attack when there is no food and grass in the city and no reinforcements outside? I have decided to surrender, so my third brother does not need to say more."
"Qiuci must not surrender!" Maha shouted, pulling out his sword.
"Maha, what are you going to do?" Haribushibi shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, you forced me to do this."
"Here comes someone!"
The next moment, more than a hundred of Maha¡¯s henchmen rushed into the hall.
"Mahayou"
"The blood of the Kucha warriors cannot be shed in vain. I and the Tang Dynasty are sworn in! We will fight until death!"
"From now on, I, Maha, am the master of Kucha, and I am the new King of Kucha!"
"Maha, are you going to rebel?" Halibu yelled out of breath.
"Where are the guards! Arrest Maha!"
Several guards rushed towards Maha from the side of Haribushibi. Maha snorted coldly and shouted: "Kill!"
The next moment, more than a hundred soldiers like wolves and tigers swarmed forward and chopped several guards into pieces.
Maha walked up to Haribushibi with a knife and said in a cold voice: "Go to hell!"
"flutter!"
Blood sprayed all over Maha¡¯s face. With one strike of his sword, Maha had killed Haribu. He pointed the bloody sword tip at His Highness¡¯s ministers and shouted, ¡°Who else is dissatisfied?¡±
"Moha, you rebellious minister and traitor, you will not die well!" A loyal minister yelled
Maha said in a cold voice: "Pull it down, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dog!"
"yes!"
Several wolf-like soldiers rushed out, hacked the loyal minister to death, and then dragged him down.
"Who still wants to die?" Maha pointed the bloody knife tip at the ministers again.
"I wish to obey the king's orders." A minister saw the opportunity and immediately knelt down to Maha.
"I hope you will obey the king's orders." All the ministers knelt down.
"Hahaha" Maha laughed wildly.
Then Maha said: "Don't worry, I have sent my confidants to ask for help from the Turks. It won't take long for the Turks army to arrive. By then, the Turks and I will cooperate inside and outside, and we will crush the Tang army into powder!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Hahaha" Maha laughed loudly.
On one side, Maha killed Haribushibi, but on the other side, Li Zhen frowned.
Originally, in Li Zhen¡¯s opinion, Kucha was defeated one after another, and now it was surrounded by people, so it was inevitable to surrender, but why hasn¡¯t it been heard that Kucha was about to surrender?
¡°Does Halibushi really want to fight to the end and die together with Qiuci?
In the next few days, Li Zhen's 100,000 troops surrounded the city. Li Zhen did not attack the city because he believed that in this situation, the Kucha people had no hope at all. When the food and grass were exhausted, Sooner or later they will come out and surrender.
However, seven days passed, and the Kucha people still showed no sign of surrender.
Li Zhen lost her temper and was about to prepare to attack the city. At this moment, Cheng Chuli hurried in.
"Your Highness, it's not good." Cheng Chu immediately lowered his voice and said.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhen glanced at Cheng Chuli and asked.
"I just captured two Kucha people who escaped from Dihuan City. They said that the old king Halibushibi was originally going to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but Maha regicide killed the king Halibushibi and established himself on his own. As king, Maha has been preparing for war these days, preparing to fight to the end and fight me, the Tang Dynasty, to the last man."
"Damn it!"
Li Zhen stood up immediately after hearing this, but he still calmed down his mood. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must be steady at all times and cannot be impulsive or emotional.
"Old Cheng, give the order immediately to prepare to attack the city, capture the city of Diaochuan, and capture Mahabo alive!"
"Yes!" Cheng Chu immediately responded and left.
"Report!" Another shout came, and then a soldier came closer.
"What's the matter?"
"His Royal Highness, according to the report from the scouting horse, a Turkic sentry was found thirty miles ahead!"
"What? Turkic sentries?"
Li Zhen was shocked upon hearing this.
Could it be that the Turks came to reinforce us?
If any Turks join the battle for Qiuci, this battle will be really difficult to fight!
¡°Let¡¯s explore again!¡±
"yes!"
Li Zhen said to Cheng Chuli: "If the Turks participate in the battle for Qiuci, then our army will definitely face a strong opponent. Call all the generals together immediately. I want to raise the account to discuss the matter!"
At that moment, Cheng Chuli started beating the drum, and none of the generals knew what was going on, and they were a little baffled.
Li Zhen told the story of the internal coaxing in Kucha and the discovery of the Turks, and then Li Zhen said: "We must capture Kucha before the main Turks arrive, and be fully prepared to deal with the Turks' interference."
"Report! Your Highness, something bad has happened! Kucha City has been captured!" A soldier shouted outside the tent. The next moment, everyone in the tent was shocked (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
