Chapter 403: Yelang Arrogance and Gao Chang Arrogance!.

At the beginning, King Ju Wentai of Gaochang was not impressed when he learned that the Great Tang had sent the general Hou Junji to lead an army to attack Gaochang. Just like King Gaochang now, he felt that between Gaochang and the Central Plains, there was a thousand-mile Hexi corridor and an eight-hundred-mile desert Hanhai.

The Tang army set out from Chang’an, and if they wanted to reach Gaochangguo, they had to travel at least three or four thousand miles. Under the labor expedition, it is almost impossible to cross the desert Hanhai of eight hundred miles.

At the same time, Ju Wentai has another backer in his heart, which is also the reason why he is against the Great Tang.

Since the mysterious disappearance of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, the passage between Chang’an and the Western Regions has only been Gaochang, and the caravans and caravans between Chang’an and the Western Regions have to pass through Gaochang.

Therefore, Gao Changguo only collected taxes from passing business travel, and he collected a lot of money.

King Qi Wentai of Gaochang, who collected the toll, could have been a Taiping Tianzi and enjoy his old age in peace, but he wanted to be a “bandit Tianzi” and detain the caravan going to Chang’an and prevent them from doing business with the Great Tang.

Qi Wentai’s hatred for the Great Tang is not so serious, and the reason why he did this stems from his mastermind behind the scenes, Turk. The Turks were the enemies of the northern part of the Great Tang at that time.

Since the succession of the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, for those four foreign races who did not obey the Great Tang, Li Shimin sent the Great Tang army to fight in the south and the north.

Among them are Turkic and Tuyuhun.

In particular, Tuyuhun, because of the ambitions of his khan Murong Fuyun, repeatedly invaded the western borders of the Tang Dynasty. So Li Shimin sent Li Jing to destroy Tuyuhun!

Tuyuhun’s national strength is much stronger than Gaochang’s.

Therefore, when Ju Wentai the King of Gaochang was an enemy of the Great Tang, Li Shimin did not understand how to understand that the tragic end of Tuyuhun and Murong Fuyun had only been a few years ago, and that someone had come to challenge the authority of his Heavenly Khan, and even sent troops to attack Yiwu and Yanqi, who had surrendered to the Great Tang.

Qi Wentai had enough reason to firmly believe that the Great Tang would not send troops, the long distance, the back of the Turks, coupled with his trust in his own ability, taking out one casually was enough to make the Tang army prohibitive.

However, Li Shimin disappointed him, Hou Junji’s army had already set out from Chang’an, and the Tang would not spare any country that tried to challenge its authority.

Also disappointing Ju Wentai was Hou Junji’s ability!

Ju Wentai felt that his Gaochang Kingdom was too far away from the Central Plains.

Hou Junji’s army set out from Chang’an to march west, and the supply line alone would drag down the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the Jade Gate Pass, there is also the eight hundred miles of Hanhai.

Even those who are accustomed to walking in the desert, sometimes a single negligence, may be folded in the desert, let alone so many troops?

However, Gaochang Wang Ju Wentai’s self-confidence did not last long.

He originally thought that the Great Tang army could not cross the eight-hundred-mile desert, but Hou Junji took the Great Tang army, with iron will and marching speed, and soon crossed the eight-hundred-mile desert Hanhai and appeared on the border of Gaochang Kingdom, Zhaokou!

Qi Wentai didn’t have a chance to appreciate the demeanor of the Great Tang soldiers, because he was scared to death.

This arrogant provocateur, when he heard that Hou Junji’s army had already marched to the mouth of the moraine, he was killed. Therefore, Ju Wentai almost became a joke back then.

It became another negative textbook after Yelang’s arrogance during the Han Dynasty, Gao Chang arrogant… Pure…
