Back a few days ago, after receiving the order from Li Chengqian, Li Jing led an army of 60,000 to attack Kucha. In order to maximize the deterrence effect, the campaign to attack Kucha was strictly kept confidential and did not issue any final discs or a reversal document to Kucha according to the procedures.

Therefore, although Kucha had mobilized all troops in the country that could be mobilized and recruited to deploy defenses on the border as soon as Yanqi completely returned to the Tang Dynasty, it still failed to resist the attack of the Tang army.

In just one day, the army led by Li Jing defeated the defense line of Kucha, annihilated and captured more than 50,000 soldiers from Kucha. This number is more than 80% of the total number of troops in the entire Kucha Kingdom!

After that, the Tang army was unstoppable and arrived at the Kucha royal city in just five days. After the persuasion of surrendering, Li Jing directly led his troops to attack the city.

Compared with the low walls of Yanqi Royal City, the walls of Kucha Royal City are not only more than two meters high, but are also built with bluestone. In addition, the Kucha King also transferred all the remaining more than 10,000 troops in the country to the royal city to be responsible for defending the city!

Even so, he still failed to block the Tang Dynasty's military force. In just one and a half days, the Kucha royal city was captured. The Kucha king hanged himself in the palace when the city was broken, and all the remaining officials and nobles were captured by the Tang army!

Li Jing, or Li Chengqian, had never thought about giving them any preferential treatment for "dead hard elements" like Kucha. Therefore, Li Jing arrested all the officials and nobles of Kucha without hesitation and confiscated all his property.

On the one hand, this is to shock those countries that are still resisting tenaciously and tell them the end of the stubborn resistance. On the other hand, it is also to prepare for the subsequent successful acceptance of the Tang Dynasty in Kucha.

You should know that the biggest resistance of the Tang Dynasty to recover the Western Regions was not from the ordinary people in the Western Regions, but from the officials and nobles of various countries. As long as these people were removed, ordinary people would be completely interested in the Tang Dynasty as long as they gave certain benefits. After all, the countries in the Western Regions were different from the Central Plains of China, and the people did not have a strong national and national ideas.

...

In Yancheng, in the palace, Li Chengqian looked at the envoys of the various countries in the palace with a smile on his face. Seeing their shocked expressions, he felt very funny.

"Everyone, the good news has been shared with you. Now let's continue the topic just now..." Without waiting for everyone to wake up from their horror, Li Chengqian continued the topic just now, "The conditions you have put forward..."

Li Chengqian originally wanted to talk about the exaggerated conditions raised by these people, but as soon as he spoke, some of the envoys from the countries below immediately spoke: "Your Highness, those conditions are only forced by some people in China who are ungrateful, so the king will ask the king to propose them. In fact, the king's will is very clear. Kang State and the Central Plains have been a family since ancient times. From the king to the ordinary people, the body of Kang State is the Yanhuang bloodline that has the same roots and origins as the people of the Central Plains! In the past, because of the turmoil of the Central Plains, the people of Kang State were weak and unable to return to their hometowns, but we always wanted to recognize our ancestors! Now the land of the Central Plains has been unified by the Tang Dynasty. The time for us to return to our ancestors has come. All the people of Kang State only want to return to the embrace of the mother of China. As long as the Tang Dynasty can accept us, it is already the greatest gift to us. How dare we ask for those unnecessary conditions?"

Including Li Chengqian, everyone in the hall looked excited with a look of ghost expression, with tears in their eyes, and their tone was even more choked because of the strong emotional fluctuations...

Everyone has only one idea in their mind now...

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Li Chengqian knew that Kang Xiong had privately connected with envoys from all countries and wanted to use this to threaten the Tang Dynasty and strive for greater benefits. But he never expected that Kang Xiong, who was willing to sacrifice his life and shed his blood, became the first grass growing on the wall for the sake of the king, for the sake of Kang State, and for the interests of the entire Western Regions!

Looking at Kang Xiong's appearance, Li Chengqian suddenly became a little dazed. Kang Xiong in front of him seemed to start to sway, and a song inexplicably resounded through Li Chengqian's mind...

Like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, swaying with the waves...

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, dance in the waves...

...

"Your Highness, the situation in our country of Khotan is actually the same as that in the country of Kang..."

"puff……"

Li Chengqian squirted, but he really squirted. Even Kang Xiong unexpectedly reversed, he didn't spew the tea he drank into his mouth. As a result, as soon as the envoy of the Kingdom of Khotan came out, he couldn't help it!

"Ahem...haha...ahhh...ahm...ahm...ahm..."

Li Chengqian was choked by the tea and coughed continuously, but he couldn't help but smile. He coughed and laughed loudly, and tears came out!

I was so bad that I was choked by the water and couldn't speak. Otherwise, he really wanted to ask this envoy, if you were walking, was it "piapia"?

Regardless of Li Chengqian's thoughts, the eyes of the envoys also shifted from Kang Xiong to him.

Especially the envoy of the Kingdom of Khotan, he looked at Li Chengqian with a confused face, not knowing what he said just now, how did he make the prince of the Tang Dynasty so incompetent?

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The envoy said cautiously with a little embarrassment and more nervousness on his face.

The latter then suppressed his strong smile, but he was just able to make him barely speak.

"Haha...that...ah...ah...you...you continue to say...no need...ah...Isn't you laughing at you...hahaha..."

The uneasiness and embarrassment on the face of the envoy of the Khotan Kingdom disappeared in an instant, and replaced by black lines on his face!

I was cursing in my heart, you should have a limit on your lies with your eyes open, right? Just your behavior is still laughing at me? Do you think I am blind or you think I am blind?

Of course, he didn't have the courage to express his thoughts in his heart, but bowed to Li Chengqian with a humble smile, "Your Highness, the situation in my country of Khotan is basically the same as that in Kang State. The conditions mentioned before were forced by some stubborn people in China, so the king had no choice but to ask his subordinates to propose it. In fact, the king had long been looking forward to joining the embrace of the Tang Dynasty!"

After the envoy of the Khotan Kingdom finished speaking, before Li Chengqian could respond, the other envoys in the hall immediately rushed to stand up and talked loudly about their respective situations. Although they were different, their meaning was very clear. According to Li Chengqian's summary, it was...
Chapter completed!
