Chapter 2317 There is Wind
The scream came from Bushipi. The arrow had penetrated quite deep and pierced his arm directly.
It happened so suddenly that by the time Bushipi could react, he had already been shot by an arrow.
Blood flowed out immediately.
"Prince Ji, you actually want to kill me? You Tang people are really fickle.
Just now he said he would bring me back to Chang'an, and now he's plotting something shady."
Covering his injured arm, Bushipi was so angry that his heart and liver were about to burst.
The Tang people were indeed despicable, they actually attacked him by surprise.
Guo Daizhao, who was standing by, secretly admired that Prince Ji was indeed far-sighted.
As long as Bushipi is killed, they will be leaderless. At that time, Jie Liedian will have no backbone and will not be able to cause any trouble.
Prince Ji is so calm and decisive at such a young age, which is admirable.
Li Shen was also confused. He looked at the bow in his hand and then at Bushipi.
Finally, he set his sights on Ye Hu.
The two were more than three feet apart, how could he have hit Bu Sibi?
This is not right. He was clearly aiming at Ye Hu just now.
Li Shen's goal was to shoot Ye Hu with an arrow to let Jie Liedian know that Ye Hu was not that important in their eyes.
His idea was very simple. Even if he couldn't hit Ye Hu, he should be able to hit Jie Liedian.
What I didn’t expect was that I actually hit Bushipi who was three feet away. Is my archery skill so bad?
For a moment, Li Shen fell into deep self-doubt.
He wasn't like this before. He was very accurate when hunting.
"Your Majesty, there is wind."
Wang Xuance said softly from the side.
After being master and servant for many years, Wang Xuance knew Li Shen's every move very well.
You can tell from his expression that Prince Ji is sad again.
But then again, this archery skill is really too poor.
Even shooting an arrow with your feet would probably be more accurate than this.
"Yes, there is wind." Li Shen nodded heavily after hearing this.
This guy still needs to study, he thinks fast and makes excuses so quickly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness Prince Ji?" Jie Liedian roared.
"What do you mean? Can't you see this? I want to tell you,
It doesn't matter if you are the new king or the old king, it doesn't matter if you are the new king or the old king.
This king advises you to surrender immediately, or I will pierce your hearts with thousands of arrows."
After saying that, Li Shen raised his hand, and the guards immediately took out their bows and crossbows and aimed them at Bushipi and others in front of them.
It seems that as long as Li Shen puts down his arms, the guards will immediately draw their bows and shoot arrows.
"I will give you ten breaths to decide. Once those ten breaths are up, a thousand arrows will pierce your hearts."
Li Shen originally wanted to show off in this place, but now he has lost interest.
"five!"
"Four!"
Xue Rengui began the countdown and the scene fell into silence.
Bushipi and the others all looked solemn.
The Prince Ji before him was different from all the Tang people he had met.
The other Tang people were all polite, and even if they were tough, they were tough on the grounds of reason.
But this little prince is different. He is unreasonable.
If you disagree, you will kill someone.
"One! Release the arrow!!"
"and many more."
When Xue Rengui finally shouted to release the arrows, Bushipi could no longer bear the pressure in his heart and shouted.
Li Shen immediately raised his hand to stop the arrows from shooting.
"We are willing to surrender, but we ask Your Highness Prince Ji not to kill innocent people and spare my family."
At this moment, Bushipi looked like a deflated ball, with a depressed look on his face.
He knew what was ahead of him.
But it's better than being killed now.
"Haha, don't worry, our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and will never do such a thing as killing innocent people.
Congratulations on making the right choice."
Li Shen smiled contemptuously. If Bushipi had not surrendered, Li Shen would have shot them all to death without hesitation.
Jie Liedian is too self-righteous. How could the Tang Dynasty care about whether it is orthodox or not?
The Tang Dynasty was just a puppet supported by the government.
If it doesn't work, I will destroy you and turn you into a provincial capital.
Isn’t Kucha one of the four important towns in the Western Regions?
"Your Majesty..." Jie Liedian wanted to say something else.
But Bushipi waved his hand.
"General Jie Liedian, please stop talking. For the sake of our people and these innocent people, let's just give up.
Can't you see? The Tang Dynasty is invincible.
Tens of thousands of Western Turks were no match for the thousand or so Tang people who were plotting against them.
How can we, Kucha, resist? Don't forget that there are still more than 100,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers in the west who have not returned yet.
This may be the fate of my Kucha."
After the King of Kucha finished speaking, he instantly felt as if he had aged by ten years.
Like an old man who is about to die.
With a clang, the knife in Jie Liedian's hand fell to the ground.
He knew that Bushipi was right, the Tang Dynasty was invincible.
Even the Western Turks were no match for them.
He just wanted to find a chance to survive.
The Tang Dynasty would let Bu Shibi go for the sake of face, but would never let him go.
But Bushibi also said that it was for their people.
Li Shen didn't want to see such a sensational scene, as it would make him look like an invader, an evil invader.
He waved his hand at Xue Rengui, who immediately ordered the arrest of Bushipi and Jie Liedian.
The hundred or so guards who followed him also laid down their weapons and surrendered.
As for the concubines and servants, Li Shen did not make things difficult for them. He just asked them to stay in the palace and not to go in and out at will.
"I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Ji for saving my life."
Ye Hu, who was rescued, came over and expressed his gratitude to Li Shen.
If it weren't for Prince Ji, he would have been killed just now.
He didn't know that the arrow Li Shen just shot was actually aimed at him.
If he knew, he would probably want to fight Li Shen to the death.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do.
Bushipi was treacherous and disrespectful to his king. This king hopes you will learn from his example and not follow his example."
Li Shen lost his serious expression and became friendly again.
“Your Highness Prince Ji, rest assured. Please tell His Majesty the Heavenly Khan that Yehu is willing to lead the people of Kucha to follow His Majesty the Heavenly Khan and be loyal to Him.
The Kingdom of Kucha will always be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, paying tribute and submitting to the country year after year."
Ye Hu immediately began to express his opinion.
Only with the support of the Tang Dynasty can he do a good job as a king.
The Western Turks were also eyeing Kucha covetously. His elder brother was pro-Western Turks.
Therefore, the Western Turks would not be willing for him to take the throne, and he had to rely on the Tang Dynasty to survive.
"Well, if you really do, His Majesty the Khan will never treat you unfairly.
I will help you and Kucha grow stronger together, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, and you will become more prosperous."
Li Shen nodded and said some high-sounding words.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji. Although the Western Turks have retreated, I'm afraid they will make a comeback."
Ye Hu has recognized the reality and lowered his status.
He is the King of Kucha, so logically he doesn't need to be so servile to Li Shen.
We should be on equal footing.
But he still has to rely on His Royal Highness Prince Ji.
"Well... let me think about it when I get home."
(The characters Bushipi and Jieliedian in the story are real, not fictional. Yehu is also real.
The story is also true, but the protagonist has changed a little.
Bushipi was really taken to Chang'an, and later Li Zhi wanted him to go back and manage Kucha again.
However, due to civil unrest, Bushipi died in the Tang Dynasty, depressed and depressed.
