Chapter 339: Take the People
In the Gaochang Palace, Qu Boya had a few more wrinkles on his already old face. He was restless and walked around distractedly, feeling a bad feeling in his heart that the sky was falling.
"Your Majesty! The sky cannot fall. Even if it collapses, I, the Sui Dynasty, will be there to support me." Du Ruhui sat aside with an indifferent expression, his voice full of dissatisfaction, unwillingness, and annoyance!
"Indeed, indeed!" Qu Boya smiled dryly. Looking at Du Ruhui, who was full of confusion, he felt much better and wanted to sing!
Why is Du Ruhui unhappy?
Naturally, it was because his precious son had taken the lead and gained advantageous terrain! Next, we were waiting for the news that both the Sui Dynasty and the Turks would be harmed.
People from the Central Plains like to set conditions for others to choose. If the good ones are chosen, they will not repent because of the problem of face. In contrast, the Turks are much more direct. If you don't get it, they will put a knife to you.
On the neck... Haha, it is still easy to take advantage of the Celestial Empire. I kind of hope that the Central Plains will be unified. In this way, the benefits of Gaochang will be great!
Qu Boya felt happy!
This sb!
Du Ruhui gave Qu Boya a sad look, and the mantra that Yang Tong used when calling Li Yuan came to his mind.
Qu Boya felt even better! He felt as if he was left alone in the world, transformed into an immortal and ascended to immortality.
"Report!" At this time, a guard came in supporting a general covered in blood.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." After the general saw Qu Boya, he knelt on the ground with a bang and cried loudly.
"Failed?"
Du Ruhui suddenly stood up and asked loudly with a strange expression.
"Win, win!" the general stammered.
"You won, why are you still crying?" Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief and looked angry.
"That's right!" Qu Boya also breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Du Ruhui and said calmly and calmly: "Go ahead. The more detailed the explanation, the better."
"The Turks are attacking our army..."
"What?" Qu Boya was shocked and tore off a handful of his beard.
Cai Wei's ice-like face twitched, and she thought to herself: This sb, I'm afraid he will really be pissed to death as he wished later.
"Ah?" Du Ruhui was dumbfounded.
"The Turks are attacking our army...His Royal Highness the Prince leads the troops well. He leads the army to kill the enemy bravely...The Turks are killed and retreated...The Sui soldiers attack from the Turks, and the entire Turk army is annihilated...In the melee, the Prince
Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince..." The general burst into tears.
"What's wrong with Tai'er?" Qu Boya asked anxiously. She originally had a lot of children, but after the coup, only Qu Wentai was left. Although Yang Guang conferred the title of Princess Huarong on his relative Yuwen's daughter,
She was promised to be his wife, but he was already an old man in his fifties, so how could he still have the function of giving birth to a son?
If something happens to Qu Wentai...
Qu Boya didn't dare to think about it.
"What's wrong with His Royal Highness?" Du Ruhui also asked with concern.
"Pretend! Pretend hard!" Cai Wei sighed inwardly and looked up at the dim sky.
She didn't bother to look at Du Ruhui one more time, she was afraid that she would vomit!
"His Royal Highness the Prince bravely killed the enemy, but was hit by a stray arrow and died heroically." The general kowtowed heavily.
After Qu Boya turned pale, he flushed again, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out again, and he fainted immediately.
"King!"
"King!"
"King!"
The palace suddenly became a mess.
"Hurry, hurry up and declare the doctor!" Du Ruhui shouted when he saw this scene, and then all the officials in Gaochang remembered it.
Cai Wei: "..."
"General Cai, when you go to the battlefield in the future, you must not wear gold or silver or act independently. You will be a living target, you know?" Du Ruhui confessed in a low voice.
"Here!" Cai Wei responded unhappily. No one would be happy after being used as a prop for so long.
"Jin Jia! It was me who harmed Tai'er."
When Qu Boya woke up slowly, he suddenly felt enlightened and dazzled when he heard this. He spurted blood and passed out again.
Only then did all the ministers of Gaochang realize that His Royal Highness's set of golden armor was a gift from the King.
"The Turks are so crazy that they actually killed the prince of your country! Leave it to me, the Sui Dynasty, to clear out the Turks in the city." Du Ruhui said solemnly.
"Da Sui Renyi, thank you very much!"
In order to avoid alarming others, after everyone executed the Turks in the palace, they did not take any action against the Turks in Gaochang City. But now that the war is over, it is time to deal with them.
After the victorious army returned, Qu Yan was ordered to close the city gates, and the Sui army began to massacre the Turks.
During the years that the Turks were in Gaochang, they often tortured the people, killing people in the street, raping women, and even taking pleasure in killing people. Before, Qu Boya did not dare to take care of the Turks' despotic power, leaving the people with no place to express their grievances and hatred.
Unable to report.
At this moment, the Sui army took action with all its strength. The Turks who were wandering on the street not long ago suddenly became street rats. They saw Turks being arrested by the Sui army everywhere. Then, a public trial was convened to let the people of Gaochang have a chance.
Revenge for revenge, grievance for grievance, within an hour, nearly 10,000 Turks were beaten to death by the angry people.
Du Ruhui was even more generous, patting his chest and promising that the Sui soldiers would go north to wipe out the evil-doing Western Turks so that they would never harm the people of Gaochangli.
Then, the Sui army divided into multiple groups and hunted and killed the Turks in various cities in Gaochang one by one.
After that, a court seemed to be opened to take cases from the people of Gaochang!
.........
On the fourth day, visit the exquisite and resplendent Gaochang Palace!
"Your Majesty, there is news!" A close military commander walked in excitedly, with excitement in his voice.
"What happened?" Qu Boya asked.
"It's the Sui army." The general said excitedly: "Three days ago, the Sui army sent troops from Yiwu and defeated 50,000 Western Turks soldiers at Pulehai. The Sui Dynasty general Niu Jinda led 30,000 elite cavalry deep into the hinterland of the Western Turks for 800 meters.
Here, Anashi Buzhen gathered more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in Khan Futu City. General Niu Jinda faced Anashi Buzhen's 80,000 cavalry. Without thinking, he dropped all the food, grass and baggage and directly attacked the Western Turkic Army.
The 80,000 Turkic cavalrymen killed the fallen flowers and flowing water, and were routed for thousands of miles before leading the army back."
Qu Boya's expression changed greatly.
He knows the importance of Khan Futu City. This time it is located at the junction of the north of Gaochang and the south of Western Turks. It is also the only giant city in Western Turks and the most important gateway guarding the grasslands of Western Turks. It is a city built on the mountains.
The scale of the fortified city built may not be comparable to Gaochang City, but it occupies a favorable location and is even better than Gaochang City in terms of the strength of the city.
After the Sui Dynasty occupied Khan Futu City, the fertile grasslands east of the city, south of Jinshan Mountain, and north of Luoman Mountain would all belong to the Sui Dynasty.
With the Sui Dynasty people's stubborn love for the land, and the Sui Dynasty Yang family's ancestors and grandsons who like to build large-scale construction projects to protect their property, they will definitely wrap this grassland with the Great Wall. If the Great Wall goes south to the border of Qiemo County in the Sui Dynasty, the entire
Gaochang is included. Even if Gaochang is not included, Gaochang is surrounded by Khan Futu City in the north, Yiwu in the east, and Shanshan in the southeast. Gaochang is surrounded on three sides and can be completely eaten by the Sui Dynasty at any time.
.
"Then what?" Qu Boya asked again.
The warrior introduced: "Hundreds of thousands of Western Turks were captured and sent to Dunhuang. It is said that they were captured to build roads, strengthen and widen the official road from Dunhuang to Wuwei County, and after completing the construction of this road, they were then built from Yangguan to Shanshan.
Puchanghai, to Yanqi and Qiuci, so as to facilitate business travel in the future."
Qu Boya's face turned even more ugly, and he smiled bitterly. This road not only facilitated business travel, but also strengthened the Sui Dynasty's control over this area. Once there was a wide, straight, and flat official road, marching troops and baggage arrived.
The speed here will be at least twice as fast.
What is even more important to Gaochang's life is the road 'Dunhuang Yangguan-Shanshan Puchanghai-Yanqi-Qiuci'. If this road is built, merchants from the Central Plains and the Western Regions will take this road. Because compared with Gaochang, the road is more difficult and dangerous.
, this road is closer and shorter, and it can avoid the brutal Western Turks and the dangerous Tianshan Mountains. If business travelers go there in the future, Gaochang will not get any dividends from the Silk Road.
Gaochang's biggest reliance will decline as a result, and then they will be marginalized and become paupers. It may even turn them into savages again.
Imitate Tuyuhun soldiers to attack Hexi? Intercept and kill businessmen along the way?
Qu Boya asked himself if he didn't have the courage.
Because when Tuyuhun was at its most powerful, it had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. As a result, Yang Guang, who was personally conquering the army, was almost wiped out. He is still unable to recover. The population of his territory is not as good as that of a large county in the Central Plains, and there are not even 20,000 troops.
Without it, how could he have the courage to provoke the Sui Dynasty to regain control of the northern part of the Central Plains?
What's more, the Sui Dynasty's 20,000-strong army was in Gaochang, and they could do whatever they wanted. Not only did they not take him seriously as a king, but they also asked him to provide military rations, which was extremely excessive.
What made him uneasy was that the Sui army intervened in the Gaochang case without any scruples, and gradually won the hearts and minds of the people of Gaochang by executing illegal officials one by one.
To a certain extent, since the day the Sui army entered the city, he, Qu Boya, has been ignored, and he is not even a puppet, because when the Sui army acted, his name was not even mentioned. He was a big Sui man.
, a mouthful of His Highness the King of Sui and Qin.
If things go on like this, the people of Gaochang only know about the Sui Dynasty, but they don't know that there is a King of Gaochang like him. Now he only thinks about: How can the Sui army add a "King of Gaochang" when handling the case?
Somewhat popular.
"And!" The warrior continued: "Your Majesty, Ma Xiangguo was captured by the Sui army and is about to be executed."
"What?" Qu Boya stood up in emotion, thinking a lot, remembering that he had already compromised so much, but the Sui Dynasty was aggressive and shouted angrily: "This is unreasonable, it is simply too much to bully others."
"The Sui army captured him at the request of the people," the warrior said weakly.
"In response to the people's request?" Qu Boya's voice trembled. He was really afraid of what would happen. This incident fully demonstrated that the people of Gaochang had more trust in the Sui army than he, the king.
"Exactly."
Qu Boya nodded silently and said, "Let's go out of the palace and take a look."
"Here."
