I'm a marquis in Datang

Jiang Changzong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

What he was worried about was that Du Qi would go with him.

Du Qi left, and there was no one in Yanqi.

Very easy to go wrong.

Jiang Changzong continued: "Your Highness, since you are going to send troops to attack the country of Kucha, the humble official thinks that soldiers are valuable and fast, so you can send troops directly to attack the country of Kucha like lightning. This time, if you want to completely defeat the army of the country of Kucha, you must send troops quickly. In addition, the humble office recommends using grenades and gunpowder for a strong attack."

Du Qidao: "That's what it means."

Yi Fusheng said: "The humble officer once went to the country of Kucha and knows the route. Although I have never made any meritorious service or persuaded Kucha to surrender when I went to Kucha as an envoy, I have written down the map along the way."

Du Qi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Guo Xiaozheng said again: "Your Highness, I believe that this battle can send two generals, Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan, to fight. As for the Yanqi Kingdom, General Xiao Yuanqi will be left behind.

The army is enough. "

Du Qi said: "Yes!"

After a pause, Du Qi said again: "This battle will be dominated by Xue Rengui and supplemented by Ma Yuan."

Guo Xiaozheng and Jiang Changzong also talked about the reforms that Yanqi Kingdom needs to carry out, and Du Qi approved them one by one. After everything was arranged, Yi Fusheng personally passed the order. After all, Yi Fusheng was going with the team.

Yi Fusheng entered the army and quickly conveyed Du Qi's order. Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan received the order. They mobilized a total of [-] troops to go, of which only [-] soldiers were cavalry.

This army quickly left the county seat and headed west.The distance from Yanqi State to Kucha State is not far. After marching for half a day, the army entered the territory of Qiucha State shortly after passing the iron gate to the west of Yanqi State, and went straight to the capital of Qiucha State.

Chapter 794 Alliance

Alliance

The capital of the Kucha Kingdom is called Kucha City.

Generally speaking, the land area of ​​the Kucha Kingdom is larger than that of the Yanqi Kingdom.However, the south of the Kucha Kingdom is the endless desert, which is where the later Tarim Desert is located, and the north is the rolling mountains, which can only be penetrated by east and west.

Although most of the territory of the Kucha Kingdom is in bitter cold places such as deserts and mountains, the area where the Kucha City is located is a plain oasis, which is the area where the Kuqa Oasis of later generations is located.

There is plenty of water and grass in this area.

The environment is quite good.

The royal palace of the Kucha Kingdom is quite magnificent. Although it is very different from the architectural style of the Central Plains, it is also magnificent and magnificent.

Inside the hall.

A middle-aged man in his early thirties sat on the main seat.

This person is Chi Ping.

He is the ruler of Kucha Kingdom.

Chi Bing's age is in his prime.Moreover, at this age, he has the strongest grasp of the government.by

The prestige of borrowing the pool can be said in one sentence.Du Qi sent Yi Fusheng to the country of Qiuci, and Yi Fusheng was eloquent, coercing and tempting both ways, many courtiers were already swaying, thinking that it was impossible to remain independent, they could only surrender and admit defeat.

Chi Ping was unwilling.

He is a well-behaved lord of a country, enjoying the glory and wealth, saying what he says, what he says, what a comfortable life.Why, he wanted to submit to Du Qi, and was constrained by Du Qi everywhere.

This is something that Chi Ping is not happy about.

Therefore, Chi Ping ignored the opposition of all the ministers and refused to surrender.Not only that, but also directly imprisoned Yi Fusheng, which is called "wait and see".When the Turkic army was defeated and all Yanqi kingdoms surrendered to Du Qi, Chi Ping couldn't stand the persuasion of his ministers, so he released Yi Fusheng.

If so, Chi Ping only arranged for soldiers to send treasures and money, and verbally professed his ministers to Du Qi.Based on Yichi's understanding of Datang, he took the initiative to become a minister, and Datang would definitely accept it, and Du Qi would definitely let him continue to be in charge of the Kucha Kingdom.

After all, being a minister is also considered submission.

After he became a minister, he was also considered a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment in the main hall, there is a Turkic man standing below him, his name is Yili.

It comes from the thousand springs of the Turkic Yazhang.

Yili held his head high and said solemnly: "Master Chi Ping, this time I come here with sincerity. My Lord Mo Hedu is willing to form an alliance with Lord Chi Ping. As long as Lord Chi Ping agrees to me Lord, when Tong Yehu leads his army back home, he will rob and kill Tong Yehu. Once he succeeds, after my Lord stabilizes the situation in the Western Regions, he promises to hand over Yanqi and Gaochang to Lord Chi Ping as commander."

Mo Hedu is Tong Yehu's uncle.

In history, Mo Hedu was dissatisfied with Tong Yehu's centralization of power, and dissatisfied with Tong Yehu's suppression of various tribes, so he sent people to assassinate Tong Yehu and established himself as a Khan.It's a pity that Mo Hedu was not in the right position, and Tong Yehu's confidant Ashina Nishi supported Tong Yehu's son as Siyehu Khan. The two sides attacked each other, and finally the Western Turks completely declined.

But now, it is different.

Tong Yehu was directly taken down by Du Qi, and because Tong Yehu led an army to attack Du Qi, the country was empty, and Mo Heduo had already risen in the Turkic Yazhang, directly took down Qianquan, and cut off Tong Yehu's retreat .

Now it is time to unite Chi Ping.

Hearing Yili's words, Chi Ping sighed and said, "Yili, your lord Mo Hedu, doesn't he know the news about Tong Yehu?"

Yili said, "What news?"

Mo Hedu was in Qianquan, so he didn't know about Tong Yehu's news.After all, Qianquan and Yanqi were one east and one west, and news was transmitted slowly. Although Chi Ping got the news, Mo Hedu didn't know that Tong Yehu had been wiped out.

Chi Ping rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you don't know, I'll tell you. Tong Yehu led an army of [-] to attack Du Qi, and Du Qi had already defeated the entire army, including Tong Yehu. I was also captured alive by Du Qi. Now, the Yanqi Kingdom has surrendered to Du Qi and has become Du Qi's possession. There is no need for you to ask this king to kill Tong Yehu."

"There is such a thing!"

There was an excited look on Yili's face.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Tong Yehu was taken down by Du Qi, and Mo Heduo established himself as a Khan, which is justified.Even if there are still people in the country who will object, the problem is that Tong Yehu's direct descendants have already set off with Tong Yehu, and no one dares to resist.

Chi Ping continued: "Yili, I have something to discuss with Mo Hedu here."

Yili said: "Say!"

Chi Ping said: "Although Du Qi is young, he is not an ordinary person, and he is extremely aggressive. He has occupied Yiwu City, Gaochang State, Yanqi State, and the Three Kingdoms in a short time in the Western Regions. From this point of view, His next step is me Kucha

The country, and even further westward expansion, in the future, Du Qi will definitely have a conflict with your lord Mo Heduo.What this king means is that your lord, please send troops to the country of Kucha to help this king resist Du Qi's army. "

Although Chi Ping arranged for someone to accompany Yi Fusheng to Yanqi Kingdom to profess his minister to Du Qi.But Chi Ping didn't pin all his hopes on this.Just relying on being a minister, what if Du Qi doesn't accept it?

So he has to act.

Be proactive.

As for allowing the Turkic army to enter the country of Kucha, it is suspected of luring wolves into the house. The problem is that Du Qi was in Yanqi country, and Mo Hedu's army did not dare to make mistakes at will. Even if they paid some price, it was worth it.
