Tuoba Yuanju's face became solemn, and he no longer had the recklessness before. He said in a deep voice: "Do you believe that this man is just an ordinary soldier? If there is such a person in the Sui army, Tuyuhun will be defeated. We must remind my father to make preparations in advance.
!”
Before dawn the next day, Tuoba Yuanju brother and sister paid back the money for the store, took the horse and hurried out of the city. They grew up on horses, and their riding skills were superb, and they were the best in a thousand when they sat down.
Thanks to the good horse and the eagerness to return home, he traveled day and night and returned to the tribal camp by Tuosu Lake four days later.
As soon as he entered the camp, Tuoba Yuanju felt the festive atmosphere around him.
"Hello, second prince, hello, little princess." The herdsmen passing by them saluted them one after another, leaving Tuoba Yuanju and his sister a little confused.
As soon as he arrived at Tuoba Mumi's tent, he heard the guard outside the tent loudly report: "Your Majesty, the second prince and the little princess are back!"
Tuoba Mumi walked out of the tent, and when he saw the two sons and daughters in a state of exhaustion, he was both distressed and relieved. He said repeatedly: "Yuanju, Qianyu, you are finally back. As a father, I am still a little worried."
Tuoba Qianyu, a happy deer with a head like a jade, jumped up to Tuoba Mumi, took Tuoba Mumi's hand and asked: "Father, you are not a prince, why do they call me little princess?"
Tuoba Mumi laughed loudly and said: "It wasn't in the past, but it is from today on. The Lord Fuyun sent someone yesterday to give his father the title of Party King, commanding the eight parties of the Party. My Tuoba tribe finally
You can get ahead!"
The Dangxiang Qiang people are divided into eight tribes, also known as the eight surnames of Dangxiang, namely, Xifeng, Feiting, Quangli, Pochao, Yeci, Fangdang, Miqin and Tuoba. Each tribe is divided into eight tribes.
They are several small tribes. Among them, the Tuoba clan is the most powerful among the eight surnames, and the Tuoba Mumi tribe is the head of the Tuoba clan.
Even as the most prestigious leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Mumi's orders were limited to those within the Tuoba clan, and the other seven surnames were unwilling to listen to his orders. Now that Murong Fuyun has appointed him as King of Dangxiang, he
Finally, we can legitimately start integrating the various party departments.
Tuoba Qianyu said happily: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!"
Tuoba Yuanju frowned and said, "Father, I'm afraid Murong Fuyun is not so kind. He must have some agenda."
The Dangxiang ministries have lived in Tuyuhun for a long time, and they had to succumb to the rule of the Xianbei people because of the disunity. The Xianbei people's exploitation and oppression of Dangxiang has always continued unabated, otherwise Tuoba Mumi would not have thought about it.
Attached is the Great Sui Dynasty. Now that Murong Fuyun has taken the initiative to make Tuoba Mumi king, and at the time when the Sui army is launching a large-scale western expedition, it is inevitable that Tuoba Yuanju will be suspicious. However, when doubts arise, Tuoba Yuanju will also be suspicious. Unifying the various departments of the party is also Tuoba's.
Yuan Ju's ideal, he doesn't mind calling him father.
Tuoba Mumi chuckled and said, "My son is worrying too much. Lord Fuyun wants to marry your sister."
Liu Ziqiu's face suddenly appeared in front of Tuoba Qianyu's eyes, and she blurted out: "Father, I don't want to marry him!"
For grassland tribes, marriage is often the best way to strengthen themselves, and the Dangxiang people are no exception. If sacrificing a daughter can bring about the unification of the Dangxiang tribe and the status of the Tuoba clan, why not Tuoba Mimi?
. His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Qianyu, do you have a sweetheart? If not, if you marry Murong Fuyun, you will be the queen of Tuyuhun. Where can you find such a good thing? What if?
Yes, please forget about your sweetheart! My father has already promised, and there is no room for regret!"
Awed by his father's majesty, Tuoba Qianyu could only pouted, but did not dare to refute.
Although Tuoba Yuanju loved this sister the most, he also knew that now was not the time to speak for her. He changed the topic and said: "Father, my son and his sister went to Didao. Although they did not see Yang Guang, they did see Sui Sui.
The army is so powerful that Murong Fuyun may not be able to defeat the enemy!"
Tuoba Mumi said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses. If my father is awarded the title of King of Dangxiang, even the Sui Lord will have to admit it!"
Tuoba Yuanju smiled and said: "This is exactly the reason. When my father has unified the eight parties, I can ask the Sui Lord for a title."
Suddenly I saw a knight coming on a flying horse and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the king has sent someone again!"
Tuoba Muya laughed loudly and said: "Haha, how can this Fu Yun know how to calculate, knowing that my good daughter will come back today?"
However, they saw a group of men and horses approaching. The leader was sitting on his horse, holding an arrow in his hand, and said loudly: "The king of the country has an order. Tuoba Mumi, the king of Dangxiang, quickly gathered the young and strong men of the eight tribes of Dangxiang. They will gather them all within three days and go to rescue Yuan.
Listen to the Sichuan Army!"
Tuoba Mumi was stunned and said: "Xiao Wang was just granted the title yesterday and has not yet had time to inform all the ministries. I am afraid that the ministries will not obey the order. I hope the Lord will grant me a few days of grace."
The person who came to deliver the order was a close associate of Murong Fuyun and a member of the Murong family. His name was Murong Han. After listening to Tuoba Mumi's words, Murong Han's face became as cold as winter. He let out a "hum" and said:
"Since the king can make you the King of Dangxiang, of course he can also depose you! There must be many people among the eight Dangxiangs who are willing to get this title! You can decide where to go!"
It is sad that the eight parties are not united with each other. Tuoba Mumi was speechless for a moment. But Murong Han said again: "By the way, I will take the princess back today, and also invite your queen and eldest daughter.
The prince will give you the wedding in person!"
When Tuoba Mumi heard this, he understood that this was not a simple matter of making a king or marrying him, but that he was going to take his wife and children hostage. But he did not dare to openly fall out with Murong Fuyun, so he could only say: "Shangchun
I'm sorry to hear that the child is ill and cannot travel far."
This is not a lie. Tuoba Mumi's eldest son is called Tuoba Yuanxiao, and he has been sick since childhood, otherwise he would not have sent Tuoba Yuanju to Didao this time.
Murong Han refused to listen and shouted sternly: "As long as he is still breathing, even if he is lifted, he must be carried over by me!"
Tuoba Yuanju said angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my father like this!"
Murong Hanhan smiled and said: "This is the second prince? Then I invite you to marry me together!"
"Okay! Then I'll take you to see your grandma first!"
Tuoba Yuanju suddenly pulled out his sword and struck Murong Han's horse with a knife in the leg. The horse neighed in pain and stood up, knocking Murong Han off the horse. Before Murong Han could get up from the ground,
, Tuoba Yuanju rushed forward early and stabbed him again, killing him. Murong Han's followers were shocked and fled in all directions. At this time, Tuoba Mumi did not bother to blame his son. He whistled and everyone
They gathered together and surrounded the group of followers, and chopped them into pieces with knives.
Looking at the chaos in front of him, Tuoba Mumi sighed: "Niezi, the good deeds you have done, how will it end now?"
Tuoba Yuanju said disapprovingly: "Father, my son met a man in Didao. He was a warrior in the Sui army. With my skill, I can't defeat him three times. With this man here, Murong Fuyun will definitely be defeated.
."
Tuoba Qianyu knew that she no longer had to marry Murong Fuyun, and she was even more happy. She advised: "Father, please calm down. My brother is right. The Sui Dynasty is unstoppable, so why do our people have to sacrifice their lives for the Xianbei people!"
Liu Ziqiu never expected that his accidental encounter with Tuoba Yuanju would yield an unexpected result, causing Murong Fuyun to lose a strong supporter. There were more than 40,000 households of Dangxiang people in Tuyuhun territory, and there were even more capable warriors.
More than 50,000 people. If such a powerful force unites, it can determine the outcome of a war.
Now that the matter has come to this, Tuoba Mumi has nothing to say, so he can only shake his head and say: "Inform the tribe and the landlord, the Pochao Second Clan, to hide in the mountains first and wait and see what happens."
…
But it was said that Yang Guang's chariot only stayed in Didao for one day before continuing westward, and the march speed suddenly accelerated. On February 11th, the army left Linjing Pass and crossed the Yellow River. On February 13th, it arrived at Xiping.
Yang Guang held a military parade in the suburbs and rewarded the three armies with food and wine. A tense atmosphere before the war spread in the military camp. Even Liu Ziqiu, who had just joined the Sui army, could clearly feel it. However, he was really affected by it.
Only the soldiers recruited from various places were affected, and the guards of the Beijing army still looked indifferent.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Wenjing came back from the Chinese army, and immediately summoned his captains and brigade commanders into his tent. It was not until evening that Liu Yu returned to his military camp. As soon as he came back, he immediately sent someone to call Liu Ziqiu
He walked over and asked: "You organized military training around the New Year. How was the effect?"
Liu Ziqiu said in surprise: "Aren't we only responsible for transporting grain and grass?"
"Since ancient times, soldiers have been valuable and quick, but this Western Expedition..." At this point, Liu Yu paused, seeming to feel that these words were a bit disrespectful, and changed his words, "Murong Fuyun, the leader of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, has deployed heavy troops to restore Yuan Chuan. Your Majesty
Decide to dispatch 200,000 troops to be stationed in Jinshan, Snow Mountain, Pipa Gorge, and Niling to form an encirclement."
"I understand, my department is also among those being transferred." Liu Ziqiu looked calm on the surface, but secretly raised his thumb.
Although there are many negative comments about Yang Guang in history, it is undeniable that Yang Guang is indeed a versatile man in both civil and military circles. His poems and essays are widely circulated, and he built canals and held imperial examinations, which were unprecedented feats. In the military, Yang Guang
Guang also has a strategic vision.
Tuyuhun covers an area of thousands of miles and has been under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate since the Han Dynasty. Until the end of the Jin Dynasty, a branch of the Murong tribe from Xianbei, Liaodong migrated over and gradually grew and became a sharp thorn on the Silk Road. Here
The geographical location of the city was extremely important. If Yang Guang wanted to open up the trade route between the east and the west, he had to capture Tuyuhun first. This is the reason why Yang Guang could tolerate Tiele's offer to surrender after he invaded the border, but was unwilling to accept Tuyuhun.
However, Yang Guang deliberately slowed down his march to allow the Tuyuhun people to detect the news and make preparations, but he had a deeper intention.
