Chapter 905: Unexpected Victory
There is one thing that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that is indeed correct: that is, Yuwen Qing has a unique talent when it comes to "capturing the king".
Just as Li Kuan and his party were riding the stolen horses and were about to arrive at the southern gate of Qianquan City with Yibi Shekui Khan, Yuwen Qing, Yuan Tiangang and others were fighting with the Western Turkic soldiers who were trying to stop them on the long street.
"Zhenxuan, look," His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw a man hanging behind Yuwen Qing who was charging on horseback, "I said Yuwen Qing is a good guy!"
"Your Highness, we have to fight our way out quickly." Seeing that more and more soldiers were rejecting them outside the city gate, Zhang Zhenxuan made up his mind. Then, thunder began to sound in the sky. The next moment, two blue-purple thunders came down from the sky, instantly knocking down a large number of Turkic soldiers who were blocking outside Qianquan City.
At the same time, in Qianquan City, the shadow assassins of His Royal Highness the King of Chu also shot arrows tied with gunpowder and lit fuses.
Boom...Boom boom!
After a huge explosion, the originally crowded city gate was instantly cleared to create a large open space.
"Let's go!" Without any unnecessary nonsense, following the order from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, their group, along with the two controlled Khans, rushed out of Qianquan City like lightning, and then disappeared into the desolate night.
Behind them, countless shadow assassins in armor began to rush out of the city, trying their best to stop the Turkic pursuers...
Half a month later, Gaochang City.
"Uncle Qin, am I powerful?" - When the dusty King Chu escorted the two Khans of Western Turkic Khaganate back to Gaochang, the whole city was in an uproar.
However, Qin Qiong obviously did not have such a hot-blooded impulse.
"Your Highness, how did you do it?" In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Gaochang City, Qin Qiong looked at King Chu, who was sitting in the main seat and was now wolfing down his food, and the seven retainers sitting below him who were also feasting. The old man couldn't understand how the two Turkic Khans, who were now imprisoned in the dungeon, were captured and brought to Gaochang under the protection of an army of more than one hundred thousand.
“This battle was won by luck.” The King of Chu felt that even if he didn’t tell the emperor about these things, he would know them sooner or later: “The elite warriors my grandmother left for me were completely wiped out after the battle of Qianquan City—but fortunately, after Siyehu and Yibishekui were captured, the Western Turks no longer existed.” When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, his face became a little disappointed: “Alas, if my grandfather knew in his grave that my grandson was so promising, he would definitely go to Duke Zhao in his dream and scold him severely…”
"Uh..." Qin Qiong couldn't respond to this. Not only him, but Guo Xiaoke who was sitting next to him couldn't respond either.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu..." Since there was no way to respond, Guo Xiaoke simply changed the subject: "I really want to know how you captured the two Turkic Khans. Can you tell me the details?"
"Ah?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu scratched his head upon hearing this. "It's just to create chaos first, then take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, break into the Khan's tent, then fight your way out, then fish in troubled waters again, and then rush out of the city. It's that simple. As for the details... Yuwen Qing, how did you capture Siyehu Khan?"
"I was guarding outside the Turkic camp in the west of the city. When a fire broke out in the city, I found a group of strong horses, lit their tails, and let the frightened horses rush into Si Yehu's camp. When they were in chaos, I, Taoist Yuan, and Shan Tianchang changed into Turkic clothes and took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. I don't know how, but I found Si Yehu, who was drunk, behind a tent. Then I took off my coat, put it on his head, and took him away." Yuwen Qing was telling the truth - this is how he described it to Li Kuan on the way back.
Li Kuan believed it, but Qin Qiong and Guo Xiaoke...
"Is it that simple?" Guo Xiaoke felt that the world was so wonderful.
"It's not easy either." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu waved his hand and said, "If it were you, you would definitely fail."
Without the three thousand shadow assassins fighting to the death, without black gunpowder, without Zhen Xuan's thunder magic, and without Yuwen Qing's heaven-defying luck - how could this battle be won so easily.
"Is this how the battle report is written?" Guo Xiaoke was silenced by the King of Chu, while Qin Qiong on the side was also a little confused.
"That's your business." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that as a prince who was about to be enfeoffed, there were some things that he didn't need to intervene in. He just glanced at Su Dingfang, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and Pei Xingjian, who was standing next to Su Dingfang and staring at Pei Xingyan: "General Su, you have to send someone to keep an eye on those two bastards in the dungeon, and tell them that the Tang Dynasty will treat them well. As for you, Xingjian, don't you see that your elder brother is too busy now? Hurry up and take the dagger and give him a slice of mutton!"
"Yes." Su Dingfang bowed and accepted the order, then left the hall with a smile.
"Oh..." Pei Xingjian received the reminder from the head of the family, so he hurried to sit cross-legged beside his eldest brother, then picked up the roasted lamb leg on the table, drew out his sleeve knife, and began to slice the meat for the other party.
These two brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and to be honest, they always feel a little strange.
But fortunately, each other understands each other's difficulties.
Watching his brother skillfully sliced meat for him, Pei Xingyan paused, then he looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu with gratitude.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave him a sly smile in return, then he started to eat his meal with a meat bun in one hand and garlic in the other.
"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, what are you planning to do next..." Qin Qiong didn't expect that this battle would be fought so hastily. He didn't even know how to describe his mood: he had just received an imperial edict from Chang'an two days ago - His Majesty Li II hoped that he would pay attention to the movements of His Highness the Prince of Chu at any time and never let him advance rashly. It was best to proceed step by step.
but……
Do we still need to proceed cautiously now?
His Royal Highness the King of Chu had hung up the Western Turks and beaten them, and then the two Turkic Khans fell to the ground in the process - and were taken back to Gaochang City.
"This is really a hearty battle..." Thinking of this, Qin Qiong couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "It's this battle report... If I submit it back like this, how will the civil and military officials and His Majesty feel?"
