Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2156
Yumen Pass.

Turkic barracks.

Since they retreated that day, the Turkic soldiers and horses have been resting in the barracks for two days.

After two days of rest, the spirits of these Turkic soldiers have almost recovered.

But even so, some people still feel sleepy from time to time.

As for Ashina Gugu, he basically didn't take much rest.

After the retreat that day, Ashina took a rest in the big tent for a few hours, but after he rested for a few hours, he ordered someone to bring a few women to him earlier, and then he went to the big tent. Nothing came out of it.

Many people in the army knew about Ashina Gugu's previous behavior, so Ashina Gugu looked for a woman, although they felt a little unbalanced, they didn't say anything.

They knew that the eldest prince was not feeling well when they failed to capture Yumen Pass. He was not feeling well, so he had to find a woman to dispatch him.

However, two days have passed, but Ashina Gugu still has no intention of stopping, which makes some Turkic generals feel a little bit disappointed.

They came here to attack Yumen Pass. Now that Yumen Pass has not been captured, Ashina Gugu is obsessed with this kind of thing. How can this be possible?

So soon, several generals gathered together.

"Eldest prince... this is a bit too much. We have to attack Yumen Pass, but he is so endless, what should we do?"

"Who says it's not? Yumen Pass has not been captured yet. If we haven't captured Yumen Pass by the time Xiliang King's reinforcements arrive, then we will be doomed."

"No, we can't watch the eldest prince go on like this, we have to urge him."

"You said it lightly, how can we urge the eldest prince to do such things in the big tent?"

A group of people were in a bit of trouble, but when they were talking like this, there was a sudden burst of screams from Ashina's big tent. After hearing this, several people didn't dare to hesitate, and ran over quickly .

"What happened, what happened?"

They kept asking, and then they saw the women who had given Ashina Gugu ran out of the big tent in panic.

They immediately stopped the women.

"what's wrong?"

"Prince, the prince is dead."

Hearing these women say that the eldest prince is dead, those Turkic generals suddenly felt as if they were struck by lightning. The eldest prince is dead. How is this possible?

They didn't care too much, and rushed in quickly.

After they rushed in, they saw Ashina Gugu lying on the ground. He was already dead, bleeding from all seven orifices all over his body.

Besides that, he was wearing very little clothing, and it was clear that at the time of his death, he might have been doing something indescribable.

"How did the eldest prince die? What's going on?" When they saw the eldest prince, many of them basically guessed the cause of the eldest prince's death. It's normal, but they still can't help but want to ask clearly, they must know the situation at that time.

A somewhat calm woman said: "We... We were drinking with the eldest prince, but while drinking, the eldest prince suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding to death from his seven orifices."

"Just drinking?"

The woman's face flushed slightly, but she still said, "The eldest prince... needs it every day."

The woman didn't say anything, but they all understood.

But at this time, those generals were even more sure of why the eldest prince died suddenly.

After confirming, they became a little worried.

"Now that the eldest prince suddenly died suddenly, how can we explain this to His Majesty Khan?"

"Yeah, we have not won the battle, and the eldest prince died first. What should we do next? Should we retreat or continue to attack Yumen Pass? If we retreat, His Majesty Khan will probably not spare us. We can attack Yumen Pass, Eldest Prince dead, can we still attack Yumen Pass?"

"Who says it's not? Now we really don't know what to do. We have to keep this matter a secret. If the news is leaked out, the army's morale may be unstable."

"........."

A group of generals were very worried, but apart from worrying, they couldn't discuss a feasible solution.

All they could do was to temporarily block the news that the eldest prince had been killed, and those women were hacked to death on the spot.

Of course, they still had to send this news to the Turkic King City to let His Majesty Khan know about it. If they dared to hide this matter from Khan, even if they captured Yumen Pass, their life would not be easy.

And when they did this, they also wanted to hear Ashina Helu's arrangements, and they didn't know what to do now.

The atmosphere in the Turkic military camp was originally depressing and desolate, but after Ashina Gugu was killed, it became even more depressing.

However, although they kept the news secret very well, it was not an easy task to really keep it airtight.

Just a few days after Ashina Gugu's sudden death, Qin Tian's spies sent the news to Liangzhou City.

When the news came, Qin Tian was a little shocked and also a little surprised.

According to his prediction, Ashina Gugu would definitely die, but not now, but a year later, why did he die suddenly in advance?

He quickly learned about Ashina Gugu's behavior during this period, and Qin Tian finally understood after learning about Ashina Gugu.

If Ashina Gugu knew how to keep in good health, then he could indeed live for two years. At that time, the poison Qin Tian gave him would slowly take effect, but after Ashina Gugu went back, his life and rest were extremely uncomfortable Law.

Such a person will quickly overdraw his body. In this way, it is basically impossible for him to live for two years.

He was very lucky to live for half a year.

However, now that he died on the way to attack Yumen Pass, this matter is simply helping them in Xiliang. As long as he can destroy that Turkic army, the reputation of Xiliang's female soldiers can be regarded as a fight.

If Ashina Gugu is alive, this matter may be much more difficult for women like Gu Meng, but if Ashina Gugu is dead, it will be an easy task to destroy the morale of the Turks .

Thinking in this way, Qin Tian quickly wrote a letter, and after finishing writing, he ordered: "Give this letter to Princess Gu Meng of Yumen Pass, and ask him to do what the letter says. As long as the Turks are defeated, Yumen Pass will be defeated." The difficult problem will be solved, and the Silk Road will be opened accordingly.”
