Mohist Tang

Qu Wentai swayed to his feet and said: “I want to go to Chang’an City for my father back then, but not for acknowledgement allegiance or Heavenly Khan, but for silk. Sure enough, it is a local tyrant. In the same way, Emperor Tang and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty both reiterated their fame. This king did a little bit of work, and Gaochang became the only passage on the Silk Road, which made Gaochang continue to become rich and powerful, from a small city-state to todays country. Eight hundred miles, 22 cities.”

Thinking of his vision back then, Qu Wentai couldnt help but feel proud. Thats why Gaochang has become the number one power in Western Regions from a small Western Regions country, and Gaochang City It has become the number one city in Western Regions.

“Since Gaochang prospered because of the Great Tang silk, then why offend Great Tang.” Qu Zhisheng wondered, since Great Tang is Gaochang’s gold master, why would Gao Chang offend his own gold master , Wouldnt it be self-defeating?

Qu Wentai helplessly said: “If it keeps this way, Royal Father is naturally unwilling to offend Great Tang, and now Gaochang is about to lose silk. If Gaochang doesnt act, he will only be beaten back to the original Western Regions is just a small city-state.”

“Lost silk, from the perspective of my son, my Gaochang countrys silk has not decreased but increased!” Qu Zhisheng asked, based on his knowledge, especially recently In the past few years, the amount of silk circulating in Gaochang has increased significantly.

Qu Wentai angrily roared: “Silk, what does Gaochang want silk for, it cant eat it, and it doesnt keep warm. Gaochang wants gold and silver. Great Tang defeated Tuyuhun, and the Silk Road can go in Yutian. And Yanqi. It was even more jealous that Gaochang secretly went to the book to avoid Gaochang and opened a silk road because of the profit of silk. How could Gaochang tolerate it.”

Qu Zhisheng then came across, and then I realized that Royal Father ignored Western. Regions, the agreement of Zhucheng, insisted on attacking the cause of Yanqi.

“If this is the only thing, its okay to be a father, but the Emperor Tang sent envoys to various countries in the Western Regions to establish the so-called Great Tang silk system and fix the price of silk. Evenly sharing the benefits of the Silk Road, countless Great Tang merchants flocked to Western Regions to openly carry a large amount of silk westward without paying taxes. Now Gaochang handles silk soaring tenfold, and the income from silk is already less than 10% of the previous one. Gaochang’s interests are now being taken by Great Tang. How do you think Gaochang should deal with himself, don’t you let Great Tang slaughter it?” Qu Wentai roared.

Qu Wentai thought he had suffered injustice in the Great Tang silk system, but he did not realize that these silks were originally produced by Great Tang. Without Great Tang, he would not even get a point. Then, Gaochang had monopolized the interests of the Silk Road for a long time, and he thought it was what he deserved. Yanqi took a share of the pie and attacked and attacked. The master of the silk came, and Gaochang was like a dog that protects the food. Barking.

Therefore, the Father Emperor ordered the interception of the Tang ambassadors and Great Tang merchants to re-establish the silk system. Qu Zhisheng suddenly realized.

Qu Wentai coldly said: “Yes, Gaochang wants to regain his own interests. If Emperor Tang is unwilling, then Gaochang will intercept the envoys of the Tang to the west and block the Great Tang merchants to the east. A piece of silk flows to the Western Regions, until then Great Tang will be unyielding.”

Qu Zhisheng only then understands Gaochangs situation and Royal Fathers plan, and understands Royal Fathers good intentions, but he But there is another worry in my heart.

“But if Great Tang really sends troops!” Qu Zhisheng worried.

Anyone knows that Gaochang and Great Tang are not at the same level. Even such powerful Eastern Turkic and Tuyuhun were defeated by the Tang Army, let alone Gaochang.

Qu Wentai said disapprovingly: “Do you think that all the wealth that Gaochang acquired on the Silk Road was used to enjoy? Most of it was used to build Gaochang City and the other 21 cities, even if Great Tang sent troops, Gaochang Just by defending the strong city, Tang Army unable to move a single step, not to mention, the king has promised Yukuk Shad and Ashina Helu heavily, as long as West Turkic helps Gaochang defeat Great Tang, Gaochang will share with West Turkic Silk Road benefits.”

Qu Wentai put out his abacus, and Qu Zhisheng was a little relieved.

“Reported to the king, a secret report came, Great Tang has appointed Hou Junji as General, as well as the hundred thousand army, sent troops to Gaochang.” A Gaochang soldier hurriedly reported.

“hundred thousand army!” Qu Wentai couldn’t help but sway. According to his estimation, Gao Chang’s ability to withstand 30,000 Tang Army is already the limit, and this time Great Tang dispatched hundreds of troops at once, Gao Chang is afraid It can’t be stopped.

“Where is Tang Army now?” Qu Zhisheng asked hurriedly.

“According to reports from the herders, the Tang Army has crossed two thousand miles of the Gobi and arrived at Qikou, and will arrive at Gaochang City in a few days.” The soldier said bitterly.

“You will arrive in Gaochang soon!” Qu Wentai suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

“Royal Father! Royal Father!” Qu Zhisheng yelled, and soon a doctor came to treat him. It took a long time for Qu Wentai to wake up slowly.

“Hurry up, go to General He Lu!” After Qu Wentai woke up, the first thing was West Turkic asking for help. Now only West Turkic can compete with Great Tang and rescue Gaochang.

Qu Zhisheng did not move, said with a bitter smile: “Back to Royal Father, just when Royal Father fainted, General He Lu sent a letter saying that he will now return to Turkic to summon soldiers. Ma, let Gao Chang stick to the city, and must wait until Turkics reinforcements arrive.”

Qu Wentai was relaxed. With the promise of West Turkic, this gave him a little confidence.

“Royal Father, Turkics cavalry may take a while to arrive. At the moment, Gao Chang is the most important to resist Tang Army!” Crown Prince Qu Zhisheng anxiously said, if Gao Chang could not resist Great Tang at all The question of how to be able to

“All cities have solid walls and clear fields. Great Tang has hundreds of soldiers and horses. The food and grass it carries is certainly not much. As long as the Tang Army runs out of food and grass, that is the end of Tang Army! “Qu Wentai, regardless of physical weakness, got up and ordered.

“Yes! Father Emperor is wise! In this way, the Tang Army can surely let the Tang Army retreat.” Qu Zhisheng nodded and said.

Qu Wentai shook the head said: “You cant completely anger the Tang Army. You immediately dispatch the Emissary to the Tang Army, saying that Gao Chang is willing to make peace with Great Tang, and Gao Chang is willing to accept the Great Tang silk system. The two countries stopped fighting for peace.”

“But I will certainly offend Turkic if this is the case?” Qu Zhisheng hesitantly said.

Qu Wentai helplessly said: “Tang Army is already on the ground, so I can’t take care of so much. Now I will let Gaochang pass this level first.”

“Yes! Royal Father!” Qu Zhisheng nodded and said.

With Qu Wentai’s order, the entire Gaochang took action. All herdsmen drove cattle and sheep into the city. There was no one in the sky.
