Li Xianyi killed Qiqi Zhongxiang with cruel methods, which frightened those Mohe warriors who had lost their will to fight. In addition, Li Duozuo, who was also from the Mohe clan, took the opportunity to surrender. These Mohe warriors
Naturally, they surrendered. Of course, there were a few die-hards among them who resolutely refused to surrender. Instead, they worked harder, preparing to support a few people before they died, but they were defeated by Li Xian, Xue Ne, and Li nearby.
Duo Zuo and others came to kill them one after another.
After the last resisting Mohe warrior was killed and the military camp returned to calm, the sky was already bright, and a ray of morning sun shone on this land full of killing and blood, and it actually gave people a bit of warmth.
Fortunately, although Li Xian was cruel to the beggar Zhongxiang, he was still quite gentle to the ordinary Mohe warriors. He announced on the spot that this time he would only kill the culprits and never ask about the threats. He also announced that Li Duozuo, a Mohe tribesman, would continue to lead the Mohe tribe.
Let him still survive in his hometown. If he does not want to continue to live in the bitter cold land, he can apply to Li Duozuo to move to Yingzhou to live in peace.
Li Xian's approach was obviously supported by the Sumo tribe. Even if some of the surrendered troops offered to go to Yingzhou, after all, this was a battlefield. Goguryeo and Datang were at war, so it was inevitable for them to continue to lead them here.
They would be exposed to the flames of war, and although Yingzhou was also at the forefront, it was relatively safe because the Tang army had already pushed the front hundreds of miles eastward.
Seeing that Li Xian agreed, Li Duozuo naturally would not refuse. Even though he arranged the relevant relocation matters, he did not set off immediately because there were more important things for both Li Xian and him, the newly appointed patriarch.
The first thing to do is to seize the opportunity to conquer the entire Su Mo tribe at one go.
The key to this is the thousand crossbowmen commanded by Qiqi Zhongxiang’s younger brother Qiqi Meng Liang!
Although the team led by Li Xian now greatly exceeds the number of the thousand people, after all, most of them are surrendered soldiers from the Su Mo tribe, driving them to attack their own soldiers, even if they are in human
Even if you are trustworthy in terms of quality, you cannot do this morally.
Therefore, in order to deal with these thousand people, we still need to rely on the 300 people from Li Xian's headquarters and the soldiers under Li Duozuo who are only responsible for recruiting and surrendering but not responsible for fighting.
As a result, the situation between the two sides was that we were outnumbered, and the army under Li Xian was fighting on foot, and their armor was all cloth and soft armor from the Su Mo tribe. If they wanted to get close to the thousand archers,
How easy is it for crossbowmen?
What's more, it's daytime now. Even if they are all wearing the clothes of the Sumo tribe, the enemy can tell from a distance that their own troops are not their own. In addition, the fierce battle here in the middle of the night, although most of them are
The soldiers of the Sumo tribe were killed or surrendered, but there must have been people who came to Qiqi Meng Liang to report the news. In this case, no matter what they were dressed in, Qiqi Meng Liang would definitely try their best to stop them.
After some discussion, Li Xian, Li Duozuo, and Xue Na decided to cut down trees immediately and make a large shield. They would not launch an attack until the large shield was completed, so as to minimize casualties.
However, when Li Xian's army arrived, he discovered that the expected tight security was not there. Li Xian looked up and saw birds flying over the camp one after another, and then he was sure that there was no one in the camp.
"Damn it, I wasted so much time waiting in vain, and made Meng Liang prepare for such a long time. It seems that things are very tight." Li Xian couldn't help crying or laughing when he saw this.
, said to Li Duozuo on the side.
But Li Duozuo smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Meng Liang does not have much prestige in the clan. Instead, he is greedy for money and profit, cruel and easy to kill. I believe that as long as we postpone the attack, this guy will definitely attack."
If he is killed by his tribe, wouldn't it be great if our army can conquer the entire Sumo tribe without bloodshed?"
When Li Xian heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a great plan by Duo Zuo. In this way, we will lead the army to station twenty miles outside Sumo. I believe that in a few days, Sumo's tribe will come to join us."
.”
But it was said that after Wuyan Chamu escaped, he immediately came to Qiqi Mengliang's camp and hurriedly reported to him the attack on Qiqi Zhongxiang.
Meng Liang was shocked when he heard this. He immediately put on his armor and prepared to go to rescue his brother, but was stopped by Wuyan Chamu.
"Wuyan Chamu, what do you mean by this?" Qiqi Meng Liang couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this, and asked quickly.
"General Qi, the reason why the general escaped is because the patriarch gave his life for the opportunity. It is not pity for the general to die, but he cannot watch the general die again. When the general comes, the patriarch has been killed by the Tang thief.
Dozens of people are gathered together. Even if the general rushes away, the clan leader will definitely be dead and has no chance of survival. There is no point in leaving. What's more, the general has bigger things to do, so why die in vain?"
"What are you talking about? Second brother, at this time..." Qiqi Meng Liang couldn't go on at this point. After a while, he suddenly said: "You said I still have big things to do. What big things are they? It's more important than anything else."
Is it important to avenge my brother?"
Seeing what the other party said, Wu Yancha's eyes inadvertently flashed a glimmer of light, and he solemnly said to Qiqi Meng Liang: "Although the clan leader has passed away, our Su Mo tribe is still here. The general is the clan leader's brother. This
The position of the patriarch is naturally well deserved. If someone else takes the position, I am afraid that the patriarch’s spirit in heaven will not be able to rest in peace.”
But I saw Qiqi Meng Liang was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed slowly: "Although what you said is reasonable, I know that my talent and virtue are not enough to convince everyone, and I may not be qualified for the position of leader of the clan."
Even though he said this, Qiqi Meng Liang's eyes couldn't hide the excitement. How could he hide this from Wuyan Chamu, who was always good at observing words and expressions?
So Wuyan Chamu chuckled and said: "Our Sumo tribe has always valued warriors rather than talents. With the bravery of a general, he is definitely more than enough to be a clan leader. And the so-called talents and virtues are a thing tinkered by the Tang Dynasty. They have nothing to do with me."
What's the difference? If the general doesn't become the patriarch of the clan, not only will the clan leader be unable to rest in peace, but the general will also have to live under others in the future. I'm afraid my aunt will also have to live under someone else's roof and live a life of unspeakable misery. She may even be abused by others.
Forced to become someone else's concubine, I know that the general respects my aunt very much, so I don't want this to happen, right?"
Wuyan Chamu naturally knew the virtues of this beggar Meng Liang a long time ago, and also knew that this person had coveted his aunt for a long time. Now he used these words to provoke each other and looked at each other secretly. It turned out that beggars Meng Liang could not bear it.
He stopped, slapped the table and shouted: "How can a man be subordinate to others? If it is my brother, how can others be qualified to be the leader of the clan? In this case, I will immediately return to the tribe and succeed him as the leader of the clan, Wuyan
After checking, I found that you are a close confidant of my brother, and because of your aunt, you must be loyal to me this time. When I take over, I will make you a captain of thousands."
Wuyan Chamu was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly called himself the clan leader and thanked Qiqi Meng Liang endlessly. He then came up with a plan to ask Qiqi Meng Liang to withdraw his troops quietly without breaking out of camp. This had confused the Tang army and Qiqi Meng Liang.
Realizing the clever idea, Liang quickly agreed and immediately broke camp and returned to the tribe.
After returning to the tribe, Qiqi Meng Liang immediately announced the news that his brother Qiqi Zhongxiang had died in battle, and forged a will to inherit the position of clan leader. As expected, this move was opposed by several big families. Qiqi Meng Liang
When he ordered the guards to execute all the heads of the big families and seize their wives and concubines, after seeing that no one dared to object, he succeeded to the position of patriarch without hesitation.
In the first few days after becoming the clan leader, Qiqi Meng Liang could still be a little more reserved. After all, he knew that he was facing pressure from the Tang army and was actively preparing for war. However, he later discovered that the Tang army did not launch an attack and instead stationed its army in
They camped twenty miles away from their own tribe, and according to reports from the stalls, they retreated several miles every day. It was obvious that they left after seeing that they were well prepared.
The beggar Meng Liang was overjoyed when he heard the news. Once his worries were gone, he returned to his old ways and tried his best to seize other people's wives, daughters, cattle and sheep, causing public resentment. At this moment, his sister-in-law, Wu Yancha's aunt, suddenly disappeared.
, Qiqi Meng Liang was panic-stricken, thinking that someone had deliberately kidnapped him, so he used this as a reason to search the major families, and took the opportunity to rob property. Finally, the public was outraged, so several major families united to prepare to raise troops to kill Qiqi Meng.
Liang, choose another clan leader.
At this moment, Wuyan Chamu, the captain of the soldiers beside Qiqi Meng Liang, suddenly came to visit and told them that his aunt had quietly escaped because of being bullied by Qiqi Meng Liang. Before leaving, she left him an order to order him.
Together with the parents of all ethnic groups, they planned to beg Meng Liang, so that night, under the cooperation between the parents of all ethnic groups and Wuyan Chamu, Meng Liang lost his head in confusion. After that, Wuyan Chamu used various methods to
On the grounds that the patriarch of the clan rebelled, he ordered his soldiers to kill all the heads of each family, and then announced that he would be the acting clan leader. After his aunt gave birth to a baby boy, he would transfer the position of clan leader to his cousin. Although he was not of the same clan.
However, due to the fact that he has military power and his aunt is the nephew of the wife of the former clan leader, he has also promised to return the power to the son of the previous clan leader in the future, so no one objects.
However, at this moment, the Tang army led by Li Xian suddenly arrived. Wuyan Chamu immediately panicked. In order to prevent the family members of the tribesmen who had previously surrendered to the Tang army from cooperating with the outside world, he ordered that all the family members of the surrendered soldiers be killed. Unexpectedly, it finally caused a stir.
The tribesmen were so angry that even his guards rebelled. After killing him, they chose to surrender to the Tang army.
Li Xian was overjoyed when he saw that everything was as expected by Li Duozuo. He immediately led his army into the Sumo tribe, received the surrender, and ordered a search for the Wuyan family's whereabouts. However, he found that this person had disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Feeling lost, no matter what, this Wuyan family must be found, because what she is carrying in her belly is not an ordinary person. Later, the famous Zuorong in history. If this person is not eliminated, he will pose a threat to the entire Sumo tribe.
One day exists.
Therefore, Li Xian immediately ordered Li Duozuo to secretly search for the whereabouts of the Wuyan family and find her at all costs.
