The contemporary Zanpu of Tufan is named Nisongmagon. He is only seventeen years old this year. After the death of the old Zanpu, he, as the youngest son, inherited the position of Zanpu. It has been five years now.

Nisomagon was walking around in the tent, feeling quite depressed.

In Tufan, a man's status depends not only on his own origin and bloodline, but also on the support of his mother's family or his wife's family. Nisongmagon is the son of Zampu, so there is no doubt about his family background and bloodline.

But his mother's background was very low. She was just the daughter of an Asi, a daughter of a local governor who managed thousands of households. This kind of background was very low for the highest level of Tufan, so Nisongmagon's mother clan gave

Can't get him any support.

There are four older brothers above Nisomagon, who are powerful both in politics and military affairs. Although Tupan does not have the eldest son succession system, Nisomagon, as the youngest son, has no prestige and no strength in his own right.

He is not strong. He was able to inherit the position of Zamp just because he was loved by the old Zamp. Therefore, his four brothers were extremely dissatisfied and wooed ministers and generals to compete with him. Since inheriting the position of Zamp until now,

In the past few years, Nisomagon was on pins and needles every day, worried.

It was not until last year that Nisongmagon married the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Interior, Zhaxi Cairen, and formed a political alliance, and the situation improved slightly. Later, Zhaxi Cairen became a lobbyist and involved

The bridge was built, Nisomagon used political interests as a bargaining chip, and finally persuaded Prime Minister Xiong Dunzhu to mobilize most of the country's troops to march to Longyou.

The direction of the situation has always been under the control of Nisongmagon. Langzhou City has thick walls and 50,000 troops to defend it. General Delong Jiankan, who has always been against him, does not want his troops to suffer too many casualties.

The rain was heavy and the troops were ineffective. After more than 20 days of siege, Langzhou could not be captured. Nisongmagon had already guessed that this would be the outcome, and was about to take the opportunity to use the ineffective siege as an excuse to avoid Delongzhou.

He was given the post of general and took away his military power. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and the Langzhou defenders abandoned the city and fled overnight.

Not only Langzhou, but also the defenders of Shanzhou and Lanzhou all abandoned the city and fled. This strange change caught Nisongmagon off guard, and all his plans came to nothing. He didn't know how to make a decision.

Nisongmagon is indeed very confused now, because his dispatch of troops to Longyou this time was just for show, and he had no intention of capturing Langzhou. Now that Langzhou, Shanzhou, and Lanzhou have been successfully captured, what should he do next?

Nisongmagon had not thought about it before the war, so five days later, 200,000 troops were stationed in Langzhou without any action. The civil and military generals were divided into two groups. One group advocated continuing to go north to attack Huizhou and rob the population and property.

The other faction advocated sending people to the Jin Dynasty to hold peace talks with the other party, ask for food and supplies, and then withdraw their troops and return to Tufan.

"Zanpu, there is the latest news."

Delong Jiankangxuan opened the curtain and rushed in. Behind him were more than twenty people, all of whom were high-ranking generals and ministers in the army.

Nisungmagon frowned, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart, and said in a longer voice: "Delong Jiankan, you are a general of the army. If you are so panicked when something happens, wouldn't it make people laugh if you let outsiders see it?"

"Zanpu's lesson is right, it's because my subordinates are impetuous."

Delong Jiankan lowered his head to admit his mistake, but there was a look of resentment on his face. He was extremely dissatisfied with Nisongmagon. How could he, Delong Jiankan, not understand what Nisongmagon had planned? He was in a dilemma.

On this occasion, joy fell from the sky, and the Langzhou defenders actually retreated without a fight, abandoning the city and allowing themselves a huge advantage.

Nisongmagon snorted coldly, sat down and said quietly: "Tell me, what made you so panicked."

After such a black-headed and black-faced reprimand from Nisungmagon, the joy in Delong Jiankang's heart had long since disappeared, and he said dully: "Zanpu, the scouts have sent a message that the Liangzhou garrison has arrived.

We evacuated last night, and now the entire Liangzhou is not guarded by a single soldier, it can be said to be an empty city."

Nisongmagon said in surprise: "How is this possible? Liangzhou is an important town in Longyou. Once it falls, Longyou will be lost. What on earth does the Jin court want to do?"

Delong Jiankan said: "This news is absolutely true. Our three thousand vanguard soldiers have entered Liangzhou City, and the Jin Dynasty's army has indeed left."

Nisongmagon frowned tightly. What happened was too strange. This approach of the Jin Dynasty completely violated military common sense.

Delong Jiankan saw that Nisongmagon was silent for a long time, so he suggested in a low voice: "Zanpu, now all the four states of Longyou are in our hands, why not take the opportunity to send troops south and invade the pass?"

Nisongmagon glanced at Delong Jiankang warily: "The opponent's main force has not lost anything. If we advance rashly, I am afraid that we will be ambushed by the opponent."

Nisonmagon had no interest in marching into the pass. The purpose of his trip was only for military power, and other matters were put aside.

"Our army is powerful. As long as we are more careful, we won't be easily ambushed."

Delong Jiankan said. As soon as he finished speaking, a Tufan general stood up and shouted: "Zanpu, how can you let go of such a great opportunity? Separate an army of fifty thousand and lead it by your subordinates. If you can

After capturing Huizhou, all the gates in the pass will be opened. If you cannot capture it, then use other strategies."

Delong Jiankan immediately agreed: "This is a very good plan. You should give it a try."

All the ministers present stood up to express their opinions. Nisungmagon looked ugly and glanced at everyone. Except for a few ministers, most of the other ministers agreed with Delong Jiankan.

Seeing that Nisomagon could not make a decision, the junior minister, Song Gampuri, said with a smile: "General Delong is also a little too impatient. This matter is closely related and we cannot make a decision easily. Let's calm down for a night and think carefully."

, we’ll discuss it tomorrow.”

Nisongmagon nodded when he heard this and said, "Let me think about this for one night and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"Respect Zanpu's order."

Everyone bowed and obeyed, Delong Jiankan lowered his head with a sneer on his face, Songganbuli was Nisongmagon's confidant, and by saying this now, he obviously wanted to keep them away so that they could keep things private, but

Delong Yankang was not worried at all. Gewa Morong, who was stationed in Shanzhou, had reached a consensus with him to send troops to Huizhou to fight a battle and take the opportunity to control the military power without giving Nisomagon any chance to seize power.

Delong Jiankan and others retreated. Nisungmagon's face suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "How can these people have the courtesy of monarchs and ministers? Delong Jiankan is even more abominable, in front of so many people."

If you contradict me, sooner or later, I will definitely kill him."

Songganbuli glanced at Nisongmagon and shook his head secretly. Zampu was still too young, and he didn't even see Delong Yankan's true intention.

"Zanpu, there is no need to argue with Delong Jiankang on this issue. He wants to send troops to attack Huizhou. It is good for him, and it is also good for you, Zanpu."

Nisongmagon didn't understand and said in confusion: "Delong Jiankang insists on sending troops to Huizhou, doesn't he just want to stabilize his own military power? What good does it do to me?"

Songganbuli said: "Whether we send troops to Huizhou or not, we have successfully captured the four states of Lang, Lan, Shan, and Liang. Zanpu, you no longer have an excuse to remove Delong Jiankan. Gewa of Shanzhou Mo Rong probably had the same idea. They insisted on attacking Huizhou, but they just wanted to plunder the population and property and consolidate their power with military exploits. With an army of 300,000, except for the 50,000 troops in Mulinmuli who had surrendered to Zanpu, the remaining troops Everything is under the control of Delong Jiankang and Gewa Morong. Now that they have united and decided, Zampu may not be able to stop them. In this case, let them lead the attack in accordance with their wishes. Huizhou, they succeeded, they have merit, Zanpu, as the person who gave the final order, don’t you have no merit?"

"You are right." After hearing this, Nisongmagon nodded repeatedly, and finally there was a smile on his face: "Delong Jiankang wants to conquer Huizhou, then let him go. If he succeeds, the credit goes to everyone. Yes, if it fails..."

Having said this, Nisungmagon narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile: "I just happened to take his military power."
