When he arrived at the tent of the Tuyuhun Camp, Murong Xuan welcomed him outside the tent. He was very kind but had a good attitude, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. Xue Chongxun found that even when he bent down and bowed, he did not feel humble, and he admired the young man's demeanor. A man under twenty years old had such precipitation, obviously he was trained in the crisis since childhood. When Xue Chongxun and Murong Xuan met, he often had an illusion that he was a middle-aged man rather than a teenager.

The tones in the king's tent are low and dull, and they look a little old, but they are neatly arranged. Some animal bones hanging on the front are a few years old. Nomads always like to hang hunting things as decorations. In fact, the Central Plains government can also find such traces. The yamen was called "Tait" door at first, but now the prefecture and county governments also use animal minions as decorations.

"King of Jin, please sit down." Murong Xuan gave in to him, and wanted to give up his usual seat to Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun said: "We are all kings, and I will only treat you as an old friend tonight. How about sitting together and chatting?"

So the two sat in front of a case together, and saw a game of chess on the wooden table, such as the Western Regions chess like wooden man and horse. Xue Chongxun said: "Does Khan like to play chess very much?"

"It's quite interesting. By the way, I remember that King Jin didn't play such chess." Murong Xuan smiled. His face was very pale and thinner. At first glance, he didn't look as tough as nomadic people, and his face was also dressed in a light gray robe of Xianbei.

Several basins of fire were burning in the tent, which was warm. Xue Chongxun took off his fur coat and the Tuyuhun servant next to him came forward to pick him up.

At this time, Murong Xuan couldn't help but look at Xue Chongxun a few more times because he was wearing bright iron armor. Now the army is on the march, Xue Chongxun almost couldn't untie the armor at night, and it actually took a bit of effort to wear the armor. The black armor is made of steel, and Xue Chongxun has fully practiced its strength, although he has returned from the battlefield and is almost the same as the new one.

Murong Xuan didn't ask if Xue Chongxun had any serious matters when he met at night, but said calmly: "Is the King of Jin interested in chess? The rules are not difficult, why don't I teach you the chess method."

Xue Chongxun looked down at the chessboard and said with great interest: "Okay."

So the two of them talked and laughed and talked about playing chess. After a while, the servant brought the brewed tea. Xue Chongxun opened the tea cup and suddenly a tea fragrance floated out. He couldn't help but turn around and saw that the tea in the tea cup was clear and the tea of ​​the Han people. He immediately said strangely: "Most people in the northwest like to put tea in cattle and goat milk and cook it into milk tea for drinking, but they didn't want the Khan King to make tea with clear water."

Murong Xuan smiled and said, "Book the snow on the snow mountain into water, which is comparable to the best spring water. Tea is a thing of the Han people. Only by drinking it like this can its fragrance and artistic conception be reflected. What does the King of Jin think?"

Xue Chongxun laughed loudly, and while smiling, he thought about it for a while, he took the opportunity to test: "King Khan loves things in the Central Plains, and he is very scheming with me. However, there are inevitably some people in Xianbei people who are hostile. It is a long way to go to strengthen the trust of the two tribes..."

Murong Xuan's expression turned dark and he didn't say much. He spoke Chinese very fluently, and even the tone revealed in his tone was in Chinese, with quite charming.

"I wonder what the King of Jin's impression of the nomads on the grassland?" Murong Xuan asked, and saw Xue Chongxun silently not answering, he said, "Since ancient times, nomadic iron cavalry outside the Central Plains have been plagued by many nomadic cavalry outside the Central Plains, and the Han people probably don't have much favor or even hate them like tigers and wolves..."

Xue Chongxun suddenly felt something, so he recited a book of poems, "Kankan cuts the sandals, puts them in the dry river, the river water is clear and ripe. No crops or crumbs, take three hundred grains? Don't hunt or hunt, Hu Zhan's courtyard has a county burial? That gentleman doesn't eat for free! Kankan cuts the radius, puts them in the side of the river, the river water is clear and ripe..."

At this time, Murong Xuan looked at Xue Chongxun and said, "The sufferings of the people are the same in the world. The sufferings of the grassland are better than the Central Plains. The weather is not good or the wind and snow are too strong in winter, and the bitter cold is mixed with people, horses, cattle and sheep are frozen and killed too much. We cannot survive the winter. In natural disasters, human disasters will occur frequently, and mutual attacks, plunder and invades the Central Plains. No matter whether they win or lose, they will have enough food to survive the winter after paying the price of death of a large number of tribesmen. Or they are dry and yellow when they encounter epidemics, and it is not uncommon for people to eat each other. The grassland is spinning up and rising, and it is common for them to kill each other, even if the tribes are destroyed."

Murong Xuan sighed and said, "What the King of Jin said is very true. There have always been nobles in the royal city who think that we are obedient to the Tang Dynasty is not a wise move, but I think I did nothing wrong... The Han emperor lives in the world forever forever. This is the will of heaven. God cannot be violated. Our clan is willing to cultivate harmony with the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Those who are tempted by the small profits in front of us are short-sighted. I also hope that when Tuyuhun is difficult to continue, the Tang Dynasty can open border rescue or use grain to save the horses or borrow food to save the pass, so as to ensure that our Xianbei people suffer less from hunger, cold and murder..."

Murong Xuan's eyes were very bright, and sincerity could not make people doubt at all. Xue Chongxun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Will King Khan subdue those dissatisfied people to avoid destroying the overall situation at critical moments?"

"You can rest assured to King Jin." Murong Xuan smiled confidently, "It is not a matter of one generation or two generations to be respected by my Murong family."

Xue Chongxun also smiled and picked up the teacup and said, "I will lead the main force of the cavalry to attack the Tubo camp tomorrow morning. The rear baggage, food and grass will be controlled by the Khan's 100,000 iron cavalry and Yang Sixu's 40,000 Tang troops. Tea instead of wine. I hope the coalition forces will work together to achieve great achievements!" This sentence is the purpose of Xue Chongxun's visit tonight.

Murong Xuan said: "The world is like chess... I give it back in the words of King Jin, waiting for your flag to win. The destiny may not be violated, and the destiny may not be controlled by oneself, but people can still act independently and change everything that can create their own achievements."

...At the fifth update of the next day, Xue Chongxun had gathered about 68,000 elite infantry cavalry, prepared lightly with cavalry as the main force, and said goodbye to Murong Xuan and Yang Sixu. The white eastern sky curtain was as the background, and the Han knights walked through their sight with long weapons. It was just dawn, and Xue Chongxun could not see their appearances clearly, but the shape of the Tang Dynasty armor and the Chinese characters in the wind-facing flag were so friendly! In the distant northwest border, there was an uninhabited wilderness, and a large number of Han athletes gathered here, with their tall figures like the backbone of the tribe.

Xue Chongxun immediately clasped his fists and said goodbye to the left-behind Khan general. When looking at Murong Xuan, he couldn't help but say: "Last night, the sufferings of the people's livelihood are the same as all races. I agree. But we can't stop all the attacks and slaughterings. Then my idea is very simple: I, Xue Chongxun, raised by eating corn cultivated by the Han people. In the past, now, and in the future, all the children here who work for the country regardless of their lives are there, so we cannot pity the enemies of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, he rode his horse without looking back and took his generals away, shouting among the iron armor: "Defeat the Quanrong Iron Cavalry in one fell swoop and fight for the rise and fall of the country!"

The troops shouted long live, and Xue Chongxun shouted loudly again: "Xue fights side by side with the soldiers and brothers... set off!"

In the faint morning light, the two rows of trumpeters in front of the camp held the huge trumpets high, puffed their cheeks and played desolate and vigorous trumpets. The music was so monotonous and unchanged, but the repetitions after another seemed to keep rising and rising into the sky, echoing on the vast earth.

"Dong, dong, dongdong, dongdongdong..." The sound of the trumpet was followed by the drum sound, from slow to fast, and a strong man howled in his torn voice. Xue Chongxun couldn't hear the words in the song clearly. The army was moving southwards and gradually moving away, looking around, all around were horses.

On the way, Zhang Wulang and other generals asked Xue Chongxun: "How to set up a battle in this battle?"

Xue Chongxun said: "How else can so many people set up their formation? After catching up with the Tubo soldiers, they will set up a decisive battle in front of the enemy when they face the battle, divided the left, center and right armies, and attacked in turn. Whoever is stronger will win."

All the generals agreed, and Xue Chongxun ordered the generals of various departments to strictly enforce military laws: if the attacking troops did not receive the retreating military order, the defeated troops in the entire army would be killed; those who retreated without authorization were executed on the spot; the robbed horses and property of the Tubo army would be divided without having to hand over it.

More than 60,000 light cavalry attacked, traveling more than a hundred miles a day, and after two days of walking, the next day, the army encountered sporadic scouts from Tubo, and they all scattered with killings until they chased the main force of Tubo.

The Tubo army had withdrawn from Wuhai City and passed a tributary of the Yellow River in the south. They naturally could not escape the light troops of the Tang army, so they were forced to set up a battle on the Kuangyuan on the south bank of the river.

The main force of the Tang army crossed Wuhai City and divided their troops into the city to search and found that there was nothing to rob, leaving only a few seriously injured Tubo soldiers and the elderly and weak, so the Tang army massacred them all. Then they set fire to the city and burned all the houses that could be burned in the city. In the blink of an eye, Wuhai City turned into a ruined dead city.

The tributary of the Yellow River in the south of the city was narrow and shallow, and had thick ice men and horses passed without any obstacles. Xue Chongxun ordered the river bank to be repaired for one night. The next morning, the whole army crossed the river and set it on the front of the Tubo camp, and the two armies confronted north and south.

Xue Chongxun led his generals to climb up to a high place to observe the enemy formation first. The sea of ​​people was in sight. The black and densely packed people seemed to grow a large land lake in the plain on the white land, and there was a mountain blocking some of them that could not be seen in full... Xue Chongxun had never seen how many 500,000 people were put together, and he didn't know how many people there were in the opposite camp. There were a lot of people anyway. The Tang army was also very spectacular. After the formation was set up, they saw people all over the mountains.

Seeing that the Tubo army had no sign of attacking first, Xue Chongxun reviewed his generals and said, "It is estimated that the Quanrong soldiers had already dispatched troops to attack our rear camp one or two days ago. I just hope that Murong Xuan and Yang Sixu will live up to my trust."
