Chapter 402 The new king of Gaochang

With the help of Wang Xuance, Yan Kai and Li Chengqian went to the city and met several Slavic tribal leaders.

"Slavic warriors, please stop the killing in the city first." Yan Kai spoke first.

When they entered the city, they saw many Slavs looting the people of Gaochang City.

"What did you say!" A Slavic man who was almost 1.9 meters tall and as tall as an iron tower stood up.

"This is the city that our warriors conquered, and everything belongs to us!"

For the Slavs, who were still in their barbaric tribal period, there was nothing wrong with this.

But from Yan Kai's perspective, they attacked Gaochang just to open up the Silk Road.

They are not here to massacre the people of Gaochang.

"I'll pay for it!"

"What did you say?" The Slav, who was originally angry, was stunned.

"I said I'll pay!" In Yan Kai's view, these Slavs are mercenaries, as long as they pay enough.

"How much? We want food! Enough food for a year!" The Slavs did not expect the other party to be so straightforward.

"Okay!" Yan Kai stretched out a finger and was about to speak when he heard the other person say: "Deal, food for a thousand people for a year!"

Yan Kai was stunned. These Slavic tribes had gathered almost three thousand warriors. Counting the people in their tribes, the total was estimated to be almost ten thousand.

Yan Kai planned to offer a high price and help him look after the Western Region after establishing a good relationship with them.

After all, he can't bring people all the way here every time, right?

These Slavs are fierce in battle. In terms of soldier strength, they are definitely superior to the nomadic peoples such as the Western Turks in the Western Regions.

The reason why they were beaten everywhere by the Western Turks was not only that their tribes were relatively scattered, but also because those nomadic peoples had been trained by the Central Plains dynasty's military.

The Huns who were beaten by the big man and fled with their heads in their arms eventually became the whip of God that frightened Europe.

But looking at the Slav leader, it seems that the food for a thousand people for a year makes them very satisfied.

Yan Kai feels that he should respect the other party!

"Then please give us an order to hand over the entire Gaochang City to us." Yan Kai said, "I will ask Wang Xuance to send a thousand people a year's food as soon as possible."

"Okay!" The Slavs were straightforward, and they didn't have too many thoughts.

After two hours in the city, almost everything that should be grabbed has been grabbed.

Coupled with the treasure trove of the King of Gaochang Kingdom, this time it was considered a fruitful harvest.

Soon, Yan Kai's people took over Gaochang's city defense.

Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, also came back. He was quite thick-skinned and seemed completely unaware that the Slavs had plundered his entire treasury.

You must also invite Yan Kai and the tribal leader to dinner.

Yan Kai smiled and shook his head and refused: "We are here to find someone. Now that we have found someone, we should go back. But..."

Hearing that Yan Kai and the others were going back, Gaochang Wang Qu Wentai was happy at first, but he was slightly startled when he heard that it was just two words.

"Yanzhi County, you tell me."

In the Tang Dynasty, the prince led the army, but it seemed that the prince also listened to the little county magistrate. He didn't know why.

"I heard that Gaochang people are good at singing and dancing..."

"Ah, this is what happened!" Qu Wentai patted his chest and said, "No problem. Among the people I just brought with me are dozens of beauties who are good at dancing. I will give them all to Yanzhi County."

He took dozens of beauties with him when he fled. This Qu Wentai is really a talent.

Yan Kai waved his hand, indicating that Qu Wentai had misunderstood: "Our Majesty likes to watch the dances of the kings, so we would like to invite the King to go to Chang'an."

"I...go to Chang'an?" Qu Wentai's face turned pale. Even if he didn't die if he went to Chang'an, what would the glory and wealth have to do with him?

"What? Your Majesty the King is unwilling?" Yan Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qu Wentai. He was only a twenty-year-old boy, but the sight of him sent shivers down his spine.

Kuoding County is now in control of the city, and there are thousands of Slavic barbarians outside the city who are also listening to Yan Kai's words.

He suspected that if he said no, he might not be his complete self when he went to Chang'an.

"I...then my position as the king of Gaochang Kingdom..."

"I think it would be good to pass it to Qu Yong." Yan Kai looked at Qu Yong who was in a daze behind.

"Ah? Me!" Qu Yong looked at Yan Kai dumbly. He was Qu Wentai's nephew. Although he was considered important, he was still a nephew and not a son.

In terms of the order of succession, I would be at least a dozen or so later, and it would never be my turn no matter how much I thought about it.

"He..." Qu Wentai was also dumbfounded, why is it this guy?

"His succession line will be more than ten places later!" A son of Qu Wentai shouted with some dissatisfaction.

They were not too worried when Qu Wentai went to Chang'an. Anyway, they would not kill him if he went to Chang'an. Instead, they would have a chance to sit on the throne.

But he didn't expect Yan Kai to give the Gaochang throne to Qu Yong.

Li Anyan looked at the prince and grinned: "In fact, he can also be the first heir!"

"No problem, pass it on to Qu Yong!" Qu Wentai shouted.

Compared with his stupid sons, he understood the meaning of Li Anyan's words.

Aren't there more than ten people ahead of Qu Yong in the succession? If these more than ten people are gone, then he will be the legitimate first-in-line successor.

Those dozen or so were all his own sons, so Qu Wentai, who didn't want to die, could only quickly agree to this request.

"I've met King Gaochang!" Yan Kai saluted Qu Yong.

"Ah? No, no need!" Qu Yong didn't expect that he would really become the king of Gaochang. This is called Yan Kai...

Are you interested in yourself?

At that time, he suffered a defeat. Not only did he not capture him, he also sent him back with many gifts.

Now he is trying to promote himself as the king of Gaochang.

Yes, I am indeed considered handsome in Gao Changguo, but I don’t like men!

He has already married three wives.

If Yan Kai made any undue demands on himself, would he comply or not?

Yan Kai had no idea what Qu Yong was thinking. If he knew, he would probably ask someone to chop this guy to death.

Qu Yong was chosen because he was not Qu Wentai's son. After he became the king, Qu Wentai's son would definitely not be convinced.

Qu Wentai's old forces will definitely try to drive him out at any time.

As for rights, once many people have tasted them, it is difficult to give them up.

Qu Yong was promoted to the position by Datang. In order to secure this position, he could only hug Datang's thigh tightly.

Sure enough, Qu Yong was also very wise. After becoming the king of Gaochang, not only did he have no airs, but he asked Yan Kai: "That Yan Zhixian, what should I do now?"
