Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2245
The autumn colors are stronger.

The news that the gunpowder of Shu King Li Ke was destroyed and that Jinsha City could not be attacked for a long time spread to Xiliang.

Hu Shiba and Ma Zhou had been paying attention to this battle. When the news came, Ma Zhou immediately summoned a group of people.

"Everyone, Li Ke, the king of Shu, failed to attack Tuyuhun, and all the gunpowder he carried was destroyed by the people of Tuyuhun. Now they have failed to capture the city. There is another news from Chang'an City, saying that after the prince entered Beijing, he was killed. I was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, what do you guys think about this matter?"

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised.

"What, the prince was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison. It's unreasonable. What does the Holy One mean?"

"Hmph, what else can we think about? We've surrounded the Jinyi Guards in Liangzhou City right now, so let's teach them a lesson first."

"Yes, yes, teach them a lesson."

"........."

The crowd diverted their anger to Xiliang Jinyi Guard, but when they were shouting like this, Ma Zhou waved his hand and said, "Speaking out this matter is not for everyone to talk about it, but for everyone to talk about it." Think of a way, how to rescue the prince, of course, don’t say anything and go directly to Chang’an City, if we send troops to Chang’an City, the prince will die faster, and we don’t have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty.”

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. At this time, Luo Huang stood up and said, "My lord, it is easy to solve the prince's matter. There is actually a very simple way for the prince to get out. As long as the prince says a few soft words." That's enough, the Holy Majesty is still inseparable from the prince, but the prince didn't do this. What the prince wants may be the recognition and respect of others in Xiliang. What does it mean? The prince doesn't need to beg for mercy, but just let the court If you are afraid of me in Xiliang, you have to obediently let the prince go. In this way, I will be strong in Xiliang, and naturally no one will dare to attack us in the future. Otherwise, those people in the court will trick the Holy Majesty into making us Xiliang today Fight this, fight that tomorrow, how can we develop in Xiliang, don’t you think?”

Hearing Luo Huang's words, Ma Zhou nodded in agreement.

But at this time, Hu Shiba stood up and said, "That's easy. I'll lead the troops immediately and attack Tuyuhun. If Li Ke, the king of Shu, can't attack Tuyuhun, then I will help Datang to defeat it. In this way, the emperor will naturally understand us. If you dare not let our lord go, even if we are enemies of Xiliang as a whole, even if we fight to the death in Xiliang, we will definitely turn the Tang Dynasty upside down."

After Hu Shiba finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, who nodded one after another.

"That's right, that's right. Let's deal with Tuyuhun. As long as we defeat Tuyuhun, there will naturally be no trouble for the prince in Chang'an City."

"Hmph, our lord is our lord from Xiliang, and if we want to imprison him, it depends on whether we agree or not."

"That's right, that's right, let's make a move now..."

Everyone agreed, Hu Shiba nodded, and then he selected [-] soldiers and horses, and hurried to Tuyuhun that afternoon.

Xiliang and Tuyuhun are next to each other, so they are still very close.

A few days later, Hu Shiba brought his troops to the border between Xiliang and Tuyuhun.

His speed can be said to be very fast.

After coming here, Hu Shiba finally slowed down.

"General, which city shall we attack first?"

A soldier asked Hu Shiba, Hu Shiba pondered for a moment, and asked, "Among the border towns of Tuyuhun, which city is the most difficult to attack?"

"Of course it is a ghost city. There are many rumors about this city. It is said that those who attack this city have never succeeded, and they will die easily inside. What's more, Tuyuhun has [-] troops stationed here. It's not a small amount."

After hearing this, Hu Shiba's eyes narrowed slightly. He was not afraid of the [-] Tuyuhun soldiers in Fenggui City, but he just felt strange. Why did Tuyuhun station so many soldiers in Fenggui City?
Moreover, it's just a city, why would it be so pretentious?
Hu Shiba didn't believe the ghost town rumors at all.

However, he was only surprised for a moment, and soon he ordered: "Since the Fenggui City in Tuyuhun is so easy to defend and difficult to attack, then we will attack Fenggui City."

Only by gnawing down the most difficult bone of Tuyuhun, can Datang understand the strength of their Xiliang, and understand that if Xiliang offends them, even if their Xiliang is not Datang's opponent, they can still make trouble for Datang. The world was turned upside down and the world was thrown into chaos.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be in chaos like the end of the Sui Dynasty. However, the surrounding countries of the Tang Dynasty are also eyeing the Tang Dynasty. Once the war between Xiliang and the Tang Dynasty breaks out, there is no guarantee that these countries will not take advantage of the fire. .

If Li Shimin is smart, he should be aware of the stakes.

After Hu Shiba gave such orders, the soldiers followed Hu Shiba to Fenggui City without any hesitation.

And just as they were rushing there, a spies from Tuyuhun had already sent the news over.

In the royal city of Tuyuhun, a spy hurried into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good..."

Turati was playing some embarrassing games with his concubine in the harem. After hearing what the spies said, his interest suddenly disappeared.

"What's the matter?" He asked a little angrily.

"Your Majesty, Hu Shiba from Xiliang led [-] soldiers and rushed towards Fenggui City. It seems that they want to capture Fenggui City in one fell swoop."

Hearing this news, Turati immediately got up from the bed, his face became tense.

"Xiliang has made a move. Didn't Datang not allow Xiliang to make a move?"

"This... I don't know. Anyway, Hu Shiba took [-] soldiers and horses to fight."

Turati fixed his eyes and said: "It's a bad thing, it's a bad thing, this ghost city hides half of the food and grass of our Tuyuhun Kingdom. This is the food and grass that we have accumulated for more than ten years in Tuyuhun. Relying on these food and grass to compete with Datang, I dare to challenge Datang because of these reserves, why do they think of attacking Fenggui City now?"

Saying this, Turati became more anxious and kept walking back and forth.

"No, no, if Fenggui City is breached by Xiliang, I'm afraid that my Tuyuhun ten years of hard work will be ruined. Fenggui City must be defended, it must be defended."

Turati thought for a while after speaking, and then said: "Send Tiankui to seal the ghost city, and ask him to guard the sealed ghost city for me. The sealed ghost city must not be lost."
