Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 276
Wen Tai's funeral ended as scheduled.

Yi Yin is also ready to attack Gaochang City.

All the soldiers were excited, waiting for the dawn of the next day.

"General, tomorrow's battle should be very intense. The general only needs to take command from behind, and leave the task of taking the soldiers to capture Gaochang City to me!" Hou Junji looked at Yi Yin and said.

Xue Wanjun followed suit and said, "The general is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty, so there must be no mistakes. I will lead the soldiers to charge forward."

"Don't worry, general, we promise that Gaochang City will be taken down, and the general will wait for our good news." Niu Jinda said excitedly.

Xue Gu, Wu Ren, Jiang Xingben, Liu Demin, and Qi Heli are also very confident.

They feel no problem with taking Gaochang City.

Yi Yin was very moved when he heard the words of these generals.

These words fully demonstrated that the generals cared about him as the chief executive.

However, as the general manager of the march, how could he not attack Gaochang with his soldiers.

Moreover, Yi Yin felt that he must not be absent from this battle.

This is a fight for Datang's interests in the Western Regions.

Moreover, the current Yi Yin has already figured out how to break through the gate of Gaochang City.

He believes that this time he will be able to succeed.

"I feel the concern of all the generals, and I understand it all,"

Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said, "However, I will definitely be indispensable in this attack on Gaochang City. As the general manager of the march this time, I will control everything. The generals care about me, but if I stand behind Looking at you, what would the [-] soldiers think?"

"In order to increase the fighting spirit of the soldiers, I must not be less, and I must take the lead. You generals don't need to worry about me, I will definitely protect myself."

Instead, Yi Yin was worried about his men.

I am a person with an invincible physique, even if the opponent shoots an arrow, the invincible physique can protect him from serious injuries.

As for minor injuries, what's the matter?
As a man, without a little scar on his body, how can he attract beautiful women?

Even if you are injured, as long as you can win Gaochang, isn't that worth it?

Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said, "Don't worry about me, everyone, get ready, we will launch an attack on Gaochang early tomorrow morning!"

Yi Yin's words were full of confidence, and immediately inspired everyone.

Next, Yi Yin told the generals about tomorrow's offensive strategy.

After hearing this, Hou Junji and others nodded their heads.

"The general's attention is very good. This time, he will definitely be able to break through the gate of Gaochang City." Hou Junji said.

Sometimes, when a person is on the spot, there is a short-circuit in the head. If Yi Yin thought of this method before, Gaochang City has probably been captured, and now he is on the way to see Datang with Wen Tai.

However, it's not too late to think about it now, anyway, Gaochang City can be taken down.

Yi Yin looked at Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun and the others, and said: "Generals, go and tell the soldiers under your command to take a good rest. When tomorrow comes, we may not have time to rest until we take down Gaochang City."

The generals nodded their heads.

When everyone was about to leave the camp, a soldier outside suddenly reported: "General, the Gaochang envoy is asking to see General Yi!"

When everyone heard that it was Gaochang's envoy again, they were a little puzzled.

Now we are preparing to attack Gaochang City!Why is there another messenger here? What is this Zhisheng going to do?
Hou Junji glanced at Yi Yin.

Yi Yin wasn't worried.

If Zhisheng could do anything, he wouldn't have sent envoys.

Since sending envoys here, it must be to discuss matters.

"Let him in." Yi Yin said loudly.

This time, it was the messenger from before.

As soon as he saw Yi Yin, he took out a letter.

This time I still came to deliver a letter.

"This is a letter from our Majesty to the general, please have a look at it." The envoy Gaochang said politely.

Hou Junji took the letter and handed it to Yi Yin.

Yi Yin didn't rush to read the letter, but looked at the messenger and asked, "Did you convey what I said that day to King Gaochang?"

The envoy nodded and said: "The general's words, I have conveyed them to His Majesty, but His Majesty did not reply or make any statement. He just asked me to send this letter to the General."

After hearing this, Yi Yin opened the letter.

After reading the content, he suddenly laughed.

Hou Junji and the others looked at Yi Yin inexplicably.

Even the Gaochang envoy panicked.

He looked at Yi Yin nervously.

"General, what's the matter?" Hou Junji asked.

Yi Yin laughed, and said, "King Gaochang is a bit interesting."

Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said: "King Gaochang said in the letter that it was his father who offended me, Datang, not him. Now, his father has been killed by us, and he has just succeeded to the throne , I hope our Datang can understand him."

"Haha," Hou Junji laughed, and said, "He hasn't enjoyed himself yet. If there is a war, we will probably destroy him. Isn't it worthwhile? Now, he is asking for peace!"

Yi Yin nodded and said, "That's right, King Gaochang's intention is to ask for peace."

Xue Wanjun said: "Seek peace? How is this possible? My Tang army came here from thousands of miles, not to accept Gaochang Kingdom's request for peace."

Yi Yin smiled, looked at Gaochang's envoy and said, "Go back and tell your majesty that I, Yi Yin, have made an attitude on behalf of Datang, and we will not accept the peace."

"Of course, King Gaochang has a choice. We don't accept the peace proposal, but we can accept his surrender and become a vassal state of our Great Tang. As long as he pays tribute to my Great Tang every year, that's fine."

"Once our army breaks through the gates of Gaochang and occupies Gaochang, it will be different. At that time, Gaochang Kingdom will become a part of the Tang Dynasty, and it will not even have the qualifications of a subordinate state."

In fact, becoming a vassal state is only the first step.

In Yi Yin's plan, these are all Datang's territories.

As a traverser, even the boundaries of the regional territory, under his leadership, he will definitely make the entire Western Regions, as well as the Western Turks, the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"That's right, I have come all the way from the Tang Dynasty, how could I accept your peace proposal? Isn't this a daydream?" Hou Junji looked at the Gaochang envoy and said, "Go back and tell your Majesty that peace is impossible, surrender Accept it, otherwise, it’s war.”

Yi Yin looked at the Gaochang envoy and said, "Go back and tell Zhisheng that I'm impatient. If I don't receive the document of surrender tonight, then I'm sorry. In the morning, my Tang army will attack Gaochang City."

The Gaochang envoy was wiping off his cold sweat again, and walked towards Gaochang City.

Inside Gaochang City, in the royal palace.

Zhisheng is waiting for the return of the messenger.

He needs to get an answer from Datang.

When the envoy walked into the palace, Zhisheng immediately straightened up, looked at the envoy, and asked impatiently, "How is it? What's the attitude of Datang?"

The envoy replied after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, Datang's attitude is to refuse to seek peace!"

"Refused to ask for peace?" Zhisheng looked at the envoy in front of him, as if he didn't believe what the envoy said.

"That's right." The messenger replied.

"Your Majesty, it's not just about refusing to ask for peace." The envoy looked at Zhisheng and said, "The general of Datang said that they only accept surrender. If he doesn't receive Gaochang's surrender document from me tonight, he will ask for peace tomorrow morning." Attack Gaochang City."

Hearing this, Zhisheng stood up at once.

"what?"

"Do not agree to peace, only accept surrender?"

"Yes." The messenger replied.

The task of the messenger is to deliver the message.

Naturally, it is the most correct to convey according to the original words.

There was a fierce look in Zhisheng's eyes, he looked outside, and said: "How is this possible, they killed my father, I don't care about them, I humbly ask for peace, they don't agree, but now I want to I surrender!"

Zhisheng walked down, eyes full of anger, said: "How can I surrender, my father died fighting to keep Gaochang, if I surrender, how can father rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"

All the generals around felt that what Zhisheng said was reasonable.

If you surrender now, wouldn't you be spineless?fell shame?
It's so despised!
"Your Majesty, I also think that we have to fight bravely." The general said, "Although the Tang army is strong in combat, but they fight in different places, and the troops they bring are always limited. As long as we fight a protracted war with them, I believe that we will be able to succeed." Repel the Tang army."

"That's right, how can we Gaochang surrender? The economic interests of this generation of the Western Regions must be dominated by my country Gaochang. If we surrender to Datang, wouldn't we hand over the interests of the Western Regions to Datang?"

"Exactly, for the benefit of this generation in the Western Regions, we must fight."

Encouraged by the generals, Zhisheng became more confident.

"Since this is the case, then we will fight Datang to the end!"

For this reason, Zhisheng ordered: "Generals, make full preparations. We will have a decisive battle with Datang tomorrow. We must not let Datang break through our city gates. We must hold on to Gaochang City tightly, and we must not relax at all."

The generals led the way.

Zhisheng looked ahead, his mood was very complicated at the moment.

But no matter what, the battle must be fought.

How could it be possible for him to surrender, the generals in Gaochang agreed, but even his father and king would not agree.

No matter what, you must keep Gaochang City in your own hands.

Zhisheng's attitude was also within Yi Yin's expectations.

Yi Yin knew he would not surrender.

Therefore, after the envoy left, Hou Junji asked: "General, do you think Zhisheng will agree to capture without a fight?"

Yi Yin shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Impossible. His father died fighting to keep Gaochang. If he surrenders, the people of Gaochang will probably stone him to death."

Hou Junji nodded, and said, "General, I also don't think he will agree to arrest without a fight."

Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone is ready, the attack on Gaochang City is just around the corner."

All the generals led away excitedly.

The battle plan was laid out that night.

No matter what, Gaochang City must be taken tomorrow.

Zhisheng is still very confident.

He followed his father's strategy of stalling for time.

His strategy is still to defend Gaochang City to prevent the Tang army from breaking through the city gate.

As long as Tang Jun's food and grass are gone, they will be safe.

Maybe, by that time, they will be able to annihilate Tang Jun in one fell swoop.

Zhisheng still arranged for all the soldiers to pile up bows and arrows and stones on the city wall.

As long as Tang Jun is not allowed to approach the city wall, there is no possibility of the city gate being breached.

If the city gate is not broken, Gaochang City cannot fall.

That night, Zhisheng asked the generals to arrange these things.

Just waiting for the arrival of Tang Jun.

Moreover, Zhisheng was afraid that there would not be enough bows and arrows, so he ordered to increase the number of bows and arrows overnight, and must ensure that the bows and arrows kept shooting Tang Jun. In that case, Tang Jun would not have the opportunity to approach the city gate.

Zhisheng also believes that this method is no problem.

In this way, Tang Jun's attack will definitely be stopped.

Moreover, Zhisheng's self-confidence also stems from the alliance between Gaochang State and Western Turks.

Since it is an alliance, Zhisheng believes that when Gaochang is attacked by the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks will not stand idly by and will definitely rescue them.

At that time, as long as the Western Turks and Gaochang join forces, it will be very easy to defeat the Tang army.

In fact, Zhisheng underestimated the strength of Tang Jun.

Especially underestimating Yi Yin's strength.

Yi Yin can be called the number one god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and his ability to lead troops to fight is naturally very good.

Otherwise, isn't this title given for nothing?
Isn't it just a waste of fame?

That night, Yi Yin, Hou Junji and others discussed the strategy of attacking Gaochang City again.

Everyone still felt that the previous method was very good. As long as the shield was good enough, they would definitely be able to support the Tang army in breaking through the city gate.

Both sides are ready.

Sure enough, that night, Yi Yin did not receive the letter of surrender from the Gaochang envoy.

It is impossible for Zhisheng to surrender and catch him without a fight.

It's the same as he thought.

"General, it is already late at night. The Gaochang envoys have not delivered the surrender document. They will definitely not come."

Hou Junji looked at Yi Yin and said.

Yi Yin nodded, and said, "This is already in our expectation, isn't it?"

Yi Yin looked at Hou Junji and the others, and said, "To be honest, I hope they don't surrender."

Everyone looked at Yi Yin with some doubts.

Yi Yin explained: "If Gaochang Wang Zhisheng chooses to surrender, their Gaochang Kingdom is just a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. However, we came here all the way to turn Gaochang Kingdom into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It really belongs to Datang, if they surrender, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?"

Xue Wanjun nodded, and said: "What General Yi said is true. They have traveled seven or eight thousand miles to come here, and crossed the dangerous desert. If they just surrender, wouldn't it be fun at all? I also hope they don't surrender. We are bound to turn Gaochang into a part of Datang."

Yi Yin heard the words, and said confidently: "Since everyone said so, that's great, we will have a decisive battle with Gaochang, and let them know that I, Tang Dynasty, are not easy to mess with, once I do, it will only be bad luck !"

"Gaochang, after tomorrow, you will be the territory of my Great Tang." Yi Yin said while looking forward.
