King Dazhao and King Haizhu were drinking and talking.
"You also think that we have no chance of winning, right?" King Haizhu said.
King Dazhao sneered and said: "You know the power of the Tang army, I know it, and even everyone knows it. If we fight against the Tang army, we will not definitely lose, but it will definitely be difficult to win. This time is known as using hundreds of troops.
Ten thousand, but the truly elite young and strong soldiers only number thirty or forty thousand, so how can they be a match for the Tang army?"
"It's a pity that the Great Merciful King couldn't see through it." King Haizhu shook his head.
"Liang Qucong is old and should have died long ago." King Dazhao said coldly.
King Haizhu asked in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, are you planning to contact the Tang people when you go to find Murong Shun?"
King Dazhao shook his head and said: "No, I have no intention of making peace with Murong Shun now. I just want to see how the situation develops."
"You mean, if the situation is not right..."
"Well." King Dazhao said: "Murong Shun is the wild dog raised by Emperor Tang in Tuyuhun. If the Great Merciful King cannot stop Li Daliang, then we will surrender to Murong Shun. By then Murong Shun will be supported by Emperor Tang and ascend to the throne of Khan
, we are still us.”
"What a good plan!" King Haizhu pawed, "What a good plan. No matter who wins, we can be invincible!"
"Come on, do it!"
"Dry!"
There was a loud bang, and the two of them drank a glass of wine.
King Haizhu said melancholy: "Back then, we supported Fu Yun to ascend to the throne of Khan, hoping that he could lead us to prosperity, but we didn't expect that he was more afraid of the Tang people than we were. Haha."
"Don't talk about him, let's drink!"
"Yes, drink!"
The next day, Tuyuhun's army headed in two directions. One was Biandukou, and the other was the territory belonging to King Daning.
Mantou City.
"Are you going to take action?" Murong Shun found Luo Shixin and asked hurriedly.
"Do you know?" Luo Shixin asked.
"How could I not know?" Murong Shun said: "I received news that King Daci has led his army to Biandukou, and King Dazhao and King Haizhu have led their troops to attack me."
Luo Shixin said: "Aren't you happy?"
"Why am I happy?" Murong Shun was stunned.
Luo Shixin said: "Your Majesty will mobilize troops this time, and Fuyun will be destroyed one day, and you will be the new Tuyuhun Khan."
Hearing this, Murong Shun woke up in shock.
Yes, with the Tang Dynasty army here, it will not be easy to capture Tuyuhun. Then I will no longer have to worry about Fu Yun attacking me.
"What should I do?" he asked excitedly.
Luo Shixin said: "Find a way to stabilize King Dazhao and King Haizhu. They will be an excellent breakthrough point. Whether we can capture Fuqi City in one fell swoop depends on us."
"I see!"
In mid-June, the tense situation in Tuyuhun spread back to Chang'an, and Emperor Li Zhiyun officially issued an imperial edict against Tuyuhun in Liangyi Palace.
The general meaning is that Tuyuhun was good at killing the emperor's people, disrespected his superior country, and was arrogant and rude.
The imperial edict was delivered in the first step, and the Minister of War, Wei Guogong Li Jing, led an army of 50,000 to leave Guanzhong.
Its speed was so fast that all the ministers were overwhelmed.
If this wasn’t prepared in advance, who would believe it!
However, no one stopped the emperor, because no one dared to interfere in the military affairs. This matter and Princess Naqin are completely different things. If anyone deviates from this matter, his life will be at risk.
After seeing Li Jing off, Li Zhiyun stood on the city wall for a long time. It was not until Gao Liangzhong reminded him to go back to the palace to rest that he came to his senses.
"Li Jing, I'm giving you a good thing this time. Don't let me down."
When Li Jing led his troops to Lanzhou, they suddenly split into two groups. One of them, led by Xu Shiji and Li Daoxuan, searched for the Huangshui River, entered Shanzhou, and went straight to Niuxindui.
The other route, led by him personally, entered Kuozhou and headed west along the river.
There are mostly mountains here, the roads are difficult to navigate, and the marching speed is very slow. Fortunately, Li Jing only led 10,000 troops this time, and the marching speed was barely acceptable.
The army marched from Lanzhou, passed Fenglin Pass, climbed mountains all the way, and arrived at Michuan.
When Sun Wuji, the magistrate of Michuan County, learned that Li Jing had come secretly with his troops, he immediately understood that the emperor was preparing to take action against Tuyuhun, and he immediately personally led the way for Li Jing.
Pass through the two cities of Huacheng and Dahua and enter Chengfengling.
This place is already the border of Tuyuhun.
Li Jing ordered to set up camp on the same spot.
Changsun Wuji introduced: "The mountain roads here are difficult to travel, and there are many Hu Qiang infestations. General Li needs to be careful."
Ever since he was demoted from Chang'an by the emperor in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji stayed in Michuan for two years. During this time, he became more and more calm, and rarely had the previous demeanor of being high-minded and low-handed.
"Yeah." Li Jing nodded.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "General Li, if you want to attack Tuyuhun directly from here, you have to cross the mountain road. This journey is not far. How can the logistics keep up?"
Li Jing smiled and did not answer him.
The dry food they carried was only enough for about two months, and Li Jing knew this. But since he dared to take this route, he was naturally confident.
This road, which is not a road, has been clearly investigated by His Majesty the Emperor sent to Tuyuhun. As long as he can pass through Chengfengling, Chishui source, and reach Juruchuan, then he can meet up with Luo Shixin who is in Mantou.
At that time, the logistics will naturally not need to be obtained from the country. At the same time, this is also the reason why he only led more than 10,000 troops to take this road.
Naturally, he would not tell Changsun Wuji these things.
"Auxiliary engine, you have worked hard to guide me. Please return to Michuan as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji knew that Li Jing was chasing people away, so he said nothing and left.
After leaving the camp, Changsun Wuji saw a dozen soldiers carefully pushing a strange carriage.
He couldn't help but feel strange, so he stepped forward to ask, but was driven away by the soldier.
"Who is that?" Changsun Wuji waved his sleeves, saying that it was a heavy weapon in the army. It was nothing to look at. It was just fart.
What kind of ordnance cannot be seen?
Changsun Wuji left Chengfengling and returned to Michuan with depression.
After Changsun Wuji left, Cheng Mingzhen walked into the tent.
"General Manager, those things are all intact."
Hearing this, Li Jing nodded heavily, "Very good, something can happen to us, but not those things."
Cheng Mingzhen asked curiously: "General manager, what exactly is that thing that deserves your attention?"
Li Jing said: "You will know later."
After a day's rest, Li Jing went on the road again. He and his two other lieutenants, Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Xuance, led their troops and horses into Chengfengling. The spies who knew this mountain road acted as guides to guide Li Jing and others forward.
On the other side, Xu Shiji, Li Daoxuan, and six lieutenants, with an army of 40,000, have arrived at Shancheng, the seat of Shanzhou.
In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Shanzhou Road march, Xu Shiji took control of the entire city and ordered the 40,000 troops to rest and reorganize on the spot. At the same time, he found the Shancheng order and ordered him to organize civilians to prepare to escort grain and grass along the way.
In the lobby, there are two generals and six deputy generals.
Xu Shiji looked at the map and said, "Have you seen it? Along the Huangshui River, we can directly take Niuxindui. In the past, the Qiang people used this road to invade the border. If we can take Niuxindui by surprise,
Then we can close the door and beat the dogs, and together with Li Daliang, we can annihilate all the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses."
"Very good." Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "General Xu, you are the manager, you make the arrangements."
"Yes." Xu Shiji politely handed over his hand.
He still respected Li Daoxuan very much, mainly because this clan was highly valued by the emperor.
In this attack on Tuyuhun, he will definitely go all out to capture Fuyun.
