After hearing Yu Wenhao's words, Yang Ji, Yang Shanhui and others were overjoyed. Four days ago, Yang Ji had indeed issued combat instructions to Li Daliang and Dugu Pingyun, but they killed Bei Gongwu that day, and there was also a certain Murong.

Fu Jun helped them capture Muli Camp.

"Brahmin, you go into the account first and tell me in detail later." Yang Ji said and told Zhu Can, "Send someone to bring General Xue and General Qian back to me."

Xue Shixiong and Qian Shixiong had just left the Chinese army's tent. Not long after, they called Yang Ji's soldiers back. When they heard the news, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Li Daliang and Dugu Pingyun successfully captured the Muli Camp, which meant that the new west gate of Tuguhun was completely opened. Next, the Sui army on the west route only had to march straight along the vast wilderness at the eastern foot of Xiti Mountain until reaching the Xihai Lake area of ​​Fuqi City.

This news is really surprising.

"Brahmin, you can speak now." Yang Ji signaled to Yu Wenhao.

"Here!" Yu Wenhao responded and said quickly: "Your Majesty, during our confrontation with the Tuyuhun army, Beigong Wu led his troops to the camp every day to challenge. General Li and General Dugu abided by your Majesty's order and used defense as a priority.

above, all kinds of provocations that were ignored.

Over time, Tuyuhun, led by Beigongwu, became proud. Shortly after General Li and General Dugu received the letter from the king, Beigongwu happened to mobilize again and led the entire army to fight, so the two took advantage of Beigongwu's army.

His arrogance was defeated in one fell swoop."

After roughly talking about the war, Yu Wenhao focused on introducing Murong Fujun's purpose and achievements: "Murong Fujun, who stayed in the camp, was Murong Fuyun's half-brother. This man was greedy for life, afraid of death, and eager to make meritorious deeds. The two generals

Using his special identity, he deceived the Muli camp and the three supply points deployed by Murong Yong on the way."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Murong Fuyun's brother actually committed treason?

Yang Ji pondered for a long time and asked Yu Wenhao: "Do you know why he betrayed Murong Fuyun?"

"Murong Fujun was the concubine of Murong Kualu and a confidant of Murong Shifu. After Murong Fuyun became the Great Khan, he made him the King of England. However, he was suppressed by Murong Fuyun and even lost his title.

I have been dissatisfied with Murong Fuyun for a long time. I heard that Bei Gongwu could easily defeat our army.

was defeated, so he surrendered his camp." Yu Wenhao glanced at Yang Ji and added: "Your Majesty, it was thanks to Murong Fujun's full cooperation that our army captured four armies without any bloodshed. Now from

From here to Muli Camp, there are no more large-scale enemy forces."

Yang Shanhui, who was standing next to him, said: "Your Majesty! Murong Fujun's contribution is not trivial. It is the key to our army quickly joining forces and shaking Tuyuhun's will to resist. We, the Sui Dynasty, cannot treat him badly. Moreover, with this person in our hands, the Sui Dynasty will be able to govern this area in the future."

The earth will also achieve twice the result with half the effort. We must protect it well and never let it suffer any shortcomings."

Yang Ji actually thought so too, and nodded after hearing this: "The long history is absolutely true, I will let Li Daliang protect this person."

Qian Shixiong hesitated for a long time, then handed over to Yang Shanhui and said, "Chang Shi, as the saying goes, can draw lessons from past mistakes and guide future events. If we use this person to calm people's hearts, will he become the second Murong Bei?"

"General Qian, you can rest assured! Although we trained Murong Bei from the Great Lakes area into a white-eyed wolf, their natures are completely different." Yang Shanhui explained to him with a smile: "At that time, Great Lakes had many forces and was especially powerful.

The king was anxious to return to deal with Bujia Khan, so he decided to use him to withstand the anger and counterattack of the Turks; he later

The fight with Ashina Huaide and Yi Shubo resulted in three defeats, which led to a sharp decline in the strength of the Great Lakes region, which also laid a good foundation for the stability of the Great Lakes region. And his ungrateful move to surrender to the East/Turks was just right

The Sui Dynasty gave me a God-given opportunity to pacify the Great Lakes area. So Murong Bei was just a pawn in the hands of the Sui Dynasty and the king from the beginning to the end."

"We directly incorporated the land of Tuyuhun into the territory of the Sui Dynasty and set up counties to manage it. The situation is completely different from that of the Great Lakes area. Moreover, in the next battle, we will uproot the Xianbei forces. Even if Murong Fujun stays in the future,

Tuyuhun, the local government will not let him out of sight, and he has no power to rely on. What's more, his role is to comfort him at the beginning. As long as this place is stable, it is impossible for the court to let him continue to live here."

Qian Shixiong suddenly realized:

"So that's the case, but the general is worrying too much."

At this time, Hao Yuan asked Yu Wenhao: "General Yuwen, as far as I know, the garrison of Muli camp is five thousand, and Murong Yong's supply point has deployed two thousand garrison each. The total number of enemy troops is ten thousand."

Qian. General Yuwen just said that General Li and others captured the Muli camp and three supply points without a single blow, so where did these eleven thousand people go?"

After hearing these words, everyone woke up from their joy. Hao Yuan asked a very critical question. Tuyuhun's eleven thousand soldiers were not a minority that could be ignored. It seemed that they had surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. What if they were dealt with?

Improper use can easily cause great security risks to the Sui army, so be careful not to be careless.

"I'm glad Mr. Hao has learned that these eleven thousand people have surrendered to us in the Sui Dynasty. In addition to Murong Fujun's more than three thousand troops, there are now 14,000 surrendered troops." Yu Wenhao saluted and quickly surrendered their troops.

Zhuang Fang said: "Murong Fujun's three thousand people maintained their original organizational structure and were not dispersed. The other thirteen thousand people were dispersed.

From the commander of tens of thousands to the commander of thousands, down to the "fire chief", they were all selected by General Li and General Dugu. The new team leader and fire chief were recommended by the surrendered soldiers or self-recommended. Above the centurion, they were selected by

Our army will be led by Qiang generals who can speak the Tuyuhun language. Now each brigade has one hundred and ten men, of which one hundred are surrender troops and ten are Sui troops."

"This surrendered army is now led by General Dugu, and Murong Fujun is the deputy general of this army. However, what Murong Fuyun can command is actually only his three thousand direct descendants." Yu Wenhao continued.

Tuyuhun, Turks and other nomadic peoples live together based on blood ties. From time to time, tribes fight over a sheep, a cow, or a horse. Compared with the people of the Central Plains, they value the blood of the clan more; compared with the Central Plains army,

They do not trust unfamiliar friendly forces even more. This is why they fight to a stalemate and fail. It is easy for them to

One of the important reasons for the overwhelming defeat is that most of the generals and generals in each army are the confidants of their chiefs. Soldiers who are ordinary herdsmen, even if there are a few brave men occasionally, have already been won over by the chiefs; as for their ability

For mediocre ordinary soldiers, let alone promotion, even post-war pensions cannot be guaranteed.

In view of the fact that the foreign army is the most heavily armed, when Yang Ji dealt with the surrendered troops, he used the method of removing their leaders and identifying all the generals who surrendered. Without these people to take the lead, the army would be in disarray. The soldiers would follow

The middle and low-level generals who were selected from ordinary soldiers with low backgrounds did not have much attachment to the chiefs themselves. On the contrary, the Sui army gave them the opportunity, so they naturally turned their hearts to the Sui Dynasty.

This strategy has been implemented for several years, and it is almost always unfavorable. When they heard that Li Daliang implemented it according to this method, everyone was relieved; however, this army and their families will eventually bring them down the plateau.

Yang Ji asked: "Have the Tuyuhun army in Huangyang Valley been completely wiped out?"

"Report to the king!" Yu Wenhao said hurriedly: "The more than 6,000 prisoners we captured in Huangyang Valley have been given to Liu Changshi to take charge of. We are currently repairing the Huangyang Valley Road day and night to connect the north and the south in the future."

Yang Ji nodded and told him, "You go down and rest first, then follow me eastward in the afternoon."

"Here!" Yu Wenhao was overjoyed, saluted everyone, and went down to rest with Yang Ji's soldiers.

"Your Majesty, General Li's victory has enabled the Western Route Army to have no obstacles. However, the number of soldiers surrendered by General Li is equal to that of our army. In addition, Murong Fuyun's Muli Camp is relatively close to Fuqi City where Murong Fuyun is located.

" Yang Shanhui said: "To avoid an accident, I suggest that the cavalry go first and meet General Li as soon as possible. The infantry and heavy baggage soldiers will form the harem and be responsible for escorting the supplies before leaving."

Yang Ji nodded and said to Xue Shixiong: "General Xue, General Qian and I will lead the fine cavalry first, and you will be the commander-in-chief of the rear army."

"Here!" Xue Shixiong and Qian Shixiong happily accepted the order.

"Go down and get ready!" Yang Ji said with a smile.

"General, please retire!" The two generals received the military order and left.

In the afternoon, as soon as the rest time is over.

Yang Ji gathered 30,000 elite cavalry, and the army was composed of the victorious army and the elite cavalry of the left and right armies. This army was led by Yang Ji, Wei Yunqi, Zong Luohu, Pei Xingyan, and Cheng Yaojin, who led more than 10,000 victorious troops.

The front army, while Qian Shixiong and Yang Shanhui, and Feng Xiaoci led the rear army.

Following Yang Ji's order, the fine cavalry marched eastward

Fang marched quickly, with tens of thousands of troops, their armor shining in the sun, their swords and spears like a forest, and full of murderous intent.

........

Although it was sunny and the sky was cloudless, the temperature on the plateau seemed to be sucked away by the melting ice and snow, and the biting cold wind blew on the face like a knife blade piercing the depths of the soul.

However, no matter how cold the weather was, it could not cool people's hearts. In the afternoon when Yang Ji led his army to the east, Murong Yong and Murong Xiaojun rode their horses through the snow a hundred miles away with less than two thousand defeated soldiers.

The tribe in front of them has been abandoned, but Murong Yong and Murong Xiaojun can see that this tribe walked very calmly, because except for the fence that can show the general outline of the tribe, there is not even a tent left.

.

They have encountered countless tribes like this. If nothing goes wrong, this tribe retreated to the east under their orders. What is ridiculous is that the herdsmen firmly implement the national policy of "strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness", but they have

nearly two

With an army of 100,000, the Sui army was severely defeated by the "weak soldiers and few generals"; and the person who suffered the loss of "strong walls and clear fields" was not the Sui army, but their defeated army. The so-called approach

I'm afraid it's nothing more than self-destruction and self-inflicted suffering, right?

When the remnant soldiers following the two men saw this scene, they were not as angry and roaring in annoyance as before. Some of them were just numb and deeply desperate. They were chased all the way by the Sui army. They were afraid that they would run too slowly, so they all

Things that could reduce the weight were thrown away, and now the entire army had nothing except their tired mounts, weapons in their hands, armor on their bodies, and a few auxiliary horses.

"Sui people really want to kill them all?" Murong Yong felt extremely sad in his heart, with anger and despair flashing in his eyes. In order to resist the Sui army, they had already wiped out all the young men in the west. It is not an exaggeration to say that they had wiped out the ground to make a new army, but in the end

In the end, they were all wiped out near Dangjin Mountain Pass. During their escape eastward, they repeatedly attacked the defenders and the young herdsmen gathered together in an attempt to compete with the Sui army. However, the Sui army annihilated them time and time again.

clean.

After so far, the last strength of Tuyuhun in the western region has been wiped out. The few people left in the end are not only their remaining troops, but also the last force in the western region of Tuyuhun to resist the Sui Dynasty. And those soldiers who became deserters

, the young herdsmen, and the tribes who did not want to go eastward with them, apparently decided to become "obedient people" of the Sui Dynasty.

Murong Xiaojun, who was standing next to him, suggested bitterly: "Commander, it's very unsafe here. Let's continue marching!"

Now, Murong Xiaojun and Murong Yong have understood Yang Ji's sinister intentions. The reason why the Sui army never swallowed them whole, but kept hanging them and beating them, was to hope that they would lure away the tribesmen and soldiers loyal to the Tuyuhun royal family.

Come out, and then uproot the Tuyuhun forces once and for all, so that when it comes to governance in the future, there will no longer be any resistance.

At its peak, Tuyuhun had a vast territory, stretching from the Qingshan Mountains in the east to the Western Regions in the west, from the Qilian Mountains in the north to the Kunlun Mountains in the south. The territory was four thousand miles long from east to west and two thousand miles north and south.

The actual control of the territory is not much less than that in the early days of the Sui Dynasty. However, after the Sui Dynasty rose to power, they first lost Shanshan and Qiemo, and now they have lost the west of Xiti Mountain. How long can they hold on to what is left?

But knowing this, Murong Yong and Murong Xiaojun had to escape and gather together, because once they stopped, once they gave up the tribe, they would eventually die!

Murong Yong rubbed his face that was red from the cold to make it no longer so uncomfortable. Then he glanced at the numb and embarrassed remnants and said sadly: "Just run away like a bereaved dog. What's left are these."

People will also disperse in a hurry, and when the time comes, we won’t even be able to deal with wild wolves, let alone Sui soldiers.”

"Then what should we do?" Murong Xiaojun frowned.

Murong Yong was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision. He whispered to Murong Xiaojun: "We have less than two thousand troops in our hands. Even at our peak, we can't withstand a charge from the Sui army. At this moment, our troops have no fighting spirit and no physical strength.

"Cun San, if we force the soldiers to march, they will have to mutiny. Let the soldiers stop and rest first, and kill and eat the horses that can't walk."

"That's all we have to do." Although Murong Xiaojun was worried about the Sui army chasing behind them, as Murong Yong said, they needed to rely on

These soldiers are working hard for themselves. If even these people are dissatisfied, then they are really doomed.
