Tuo Wentai couldn't stand the flattery and really thought that Gaochang was so powerful that he could not take the Tang Dynasty seriously.

The reason why Ku Wentai had this confidence was mainly because Gaochang and the Western Turkic coalition defeated Yanqi and directly robbed Yanqi in vain.

When Yanqi was easily defeated, Kuo Wentai did not consider that Yanqi was too weak, but made him think that Gaochang's strength was already very strong.

The ignorant arrogance made Tuo Wentai misjudgment the situation.

Although Tuo Wentai was arrogant, he still ordered people to step up the construction of the city wall, build additional construction, and prepare for war.

In less than a month, the spy reported that the Tang army had arrived in Yiwu.

Tuo Wentai was shocked, but he didn't expect the Tang army to come so quickly.

"Father, the Tang army is invincible. We might as well send envoys to apologize to seek forgiveness from the Tang Dynasty and save us from the disaster of our country's destruction of Gaochang." Qu Zhisheng made a statement.

"The king does not need to be afraid. Although the Tang army came to Yiwu, he did not dare to enter Gaochang rashly. My Turkic Khan has agreed to send troops to help. At that time, our Turkic army attacked the Tang army from behind, so that the Tang army would never come back!" Ashinaju interrupted.

"I feel relieved when the general says this." Kuo Wentai became calm.

Soon, the spy replied that the Tang army's vanguard army had captured Liugu City.

"What?" Tuo Wentai was so scared that his face turned pale.

He never dreamed that the Tang army's vanguard army had already captured Liugu City in a short time.

"How many soldiers and horses of the Tang Army's vanguard? Who is the general?" Asunaju asked with a blue face.

"A preliminary investigation found that the Tang army's vanguard soldiers were less than 5,000, and the vanguard general was Li Zaigu, the general of Zuo Xiaowei!" the spy replied.

Asuna's face changed drastically.

"Li...Li Zai Gu? Li Zai Gu, the God of War in the Tang Dynasty?" Tuo Wentai said in fear.

"It's this person!"

"Less than five thousand people, Liugu City was broken in such a short time?" Asanoju murmured to himself.

"After the Tang Dynasty vanguard army captured Liugu, it left behind three thousand garrisons, and the remaining more than a thousand Tang Dynasty vanguard army were coming towards Gaochang City." The spy continued.

"Li Zaigu wants to attack Gaochang City with just over a thousand soldiers?" Asano frowned and his body was solemn.

"As far as I know, Li Zaigu used troops like Li Jing, and often attacked him by surprise. He really dared to lead more than a thousand troops to attack Gaochang City." A general named Zhang Jun spoke.

Zhang Jun’s father is Zhang Xiong.

The relationship between Zhang Xiong and Tuo Wentai is very special. They are both cousins ​​and Zhang Xiong's second identity and Tuo Wentai's brother-in-law.

It can be said that it is a kiss.

After Tuo Wentai inherited the throne, Zhang Xiong was promoted to the general of the country to participate in the management of military and national affairs? He was the most powerful minister? He enjoyed all his glory and wealth.

Zhang Xiong was quite visionary. He saw that the overall unification of the Tang Dynasty had been decided? He advocated surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At first? Tuo Wentai followed Zhang Xiong's advice and continued his father Ju Boya's foreign policy? But after Zhang Xiong's death, Tuo Wentai relied on the Western Turks and began to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Jun inherited his father's throne? He was also granted the title of General of Protective Country, but his power was less than half of his father's that of that year.

Although Zhang Jun is related to Tuo Wentai, Tuo Wentai does not want the people of the Zhang family to interfere in too much government affairs? Therefore, Zhang Jun's power is constantly weakened.

Zhang Jun is not as powerful as his father? But due to the special relationship between the Zhang family and the Ju family, Tuo Wentai still regards Zhang Jun as his confidant.

Tuo Wentai was already frightened by the speed of the Tang army's marching. When he heard Zhang Jun say this, he was even more frightened and trembled all over: "Asinaju, when will the Turkic reinforcements arrive?"

"Report to the king? Khan has ordered the Turkic army to set off, but I have received information? Our Turkic army encountered an ambush from the Tang army and stopped moving forward." Asunaju hesitated for a moment.

Tuo Wentai didn't know what Ashinaju said was a pure excuse? The Western Turks did not send a large army to support them.

"What?" Tuo Wentai's face twitched, "Quick? Quick? Quickly send the order..."

Before Tuo Wentai finished speaking? Suddenly he covered his heart and his face looked painful and ugly.

His mouth opened, but he could not make a sound. He covered his heart with his right hand and raised his left hand halfway, and suddenly fell.

The people present were shocked to see this.

"Father! Father!" Qu Zhisheng hurriedly ran up and shouted.

"Hurry, go and call the doctor!" Zhang Jun shouted to the attendant.

"Father, where is it uncomfortable?" Qu Zhisheng leaned over and looked at Tuo Wentai, both nervous and at a loss.

Tuo Wentai couldn't speak, and became even more excited. His eyes widened, he struggled a few times, collapsed on the chair, and his hands were hanging down weakly.

I saw his body twitching a few times, then motionless.

"Father..." Qu Zhisheng shouted.

"King..." the others shouted.

When the doctor arrived, Ku Wentai had died.

"Why is this happening to my father?" Qu Zhisheng asked the doctor with a heartbroken look on his face.

"Report to the eldest prince, the eldest prince died of excessive fright." The doctor said with helpless expression and cautiously.

What was unexpected was that a king of a small country that was so arrogant that he wanted to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty not long ago was actually scared to death!

"Father, why did you leave your child and leave..."

Qu Zhisheng hugged Tuo Wentai's body and cried bitterly.

"The eldest prince, I am mourning and following the changes. Now is not a time to be sad and sad. I would like to ask the eldest prince to inherit the throne to deal with the attack on the Tang army." Asinaju made a statement.

"Please take charge of the throne and lead us to resist the enemy!" Zhang Jun also made a statement.

Qu Zhisheng followed the advice of Asunaju and Zhang Jun and immediately inherited the throne.

At the same time, Li Zaigu, who was leading his army to Gaochang City, received information about Tuo Wentai's sudden death.

Li Zaigu thought this was a good time and immediately ordered the troops to speed up the marching.

"Report to the General, the General Manager ordered the suspension of the attack on Gaochang City and the vanguard army retreated to Liugu."

Suddenly, a messenger arrived quickly.

"Now is a good time to attack Gaochang City. Why withdraw troops?" Li Zaigu said angrily with a stern face.

"I don't know why the young one is the one who is only responsible for sending orders." The messenger said carefully.

The military orders were like mountains, and Li Zaigu had no choice but to lead the vanguard army to withdraw back to Liugu.

After retreating to Liugu, Li Zaigu immediately found Hou Junji.

"The chief general, why did he order this general to withdraw to Liugu? This general got the information that Gaochang King Tuo Wentai was dead. He took this opportunity to capture Gaochang City in one fell swoop." Li Zaigu said to Hou Jun in a humble and arrogant manner.

Hou Junji squeezed out a smile and said, "General Li, don't be anxious, listen to the general manager's words slowly."

Li Zaigu stared at Hou Junji and heard what reasons he would convince himself.

"This chief executive also received information about the death of King Gaochang. It was precisely because King Gaochang was dead that our Tang Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Kingdom, and our army of the supreme country of the Celestial Kingdom could not take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city when the other king died. This move was not in line with etiquette and righteousness." Hou Junji said slowly.

"This time our Tang army came to attack Gaochang, but Gaochang first violated the alliance and attacked the border areas of our Tang Dynasty. It was unkind and unrighteous. As a benevolent and righteous army, if our Tang army takes advantage of the death of King Gaochang to attack its capital, it would be unrighteous even if it wins."
