"Ziyan, I've been thinking about it every day these days, why are people alive, is it just a fight?" Li Shimin asked blankly.

"Hehe, you know more than I do, so I won't say more." Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly, and then sorted out the copywriting, divided into categories, and seemed to be the same as before.

The emperor is used to being complimented by the ministers, and someone has to show off or give a step to the joy, anger and sorrow, and the sadness in Li Shimin's heart has long faded a lot, after such a vent, plus Yuan Ziyan reconciled with him as before, and soon resumed normal service.

As mentioned earlier, Duan Zhixuan pursued Tuyuhun and turned back when he arrived at Qinghai Lake, which made Li Shimin furious and stripped Duan Zhixuan of all his positions. Later, he prayed for the eldest grandson queen and granted amnesty to the world, Duan Zhixuan was of course among them, and the official was reinstated.

As expected, Tuyuhun reorganized his troops and horses, attacked again, and disturbed Liangzhou, Li Shimin was naturally thunderous and angry, and asked in a deep voice: "Tuyuhun is not dead, and he will invade my Tang border again." Who is willing to go, go on a big expedition! ”

"Your Majesty, in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Fu Yun once asked Tang Fan to make peace, hoping that His Majesty could marry a princess. This campaign is more dangerous, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to follow his wishes, make peace first, and then make plans. Yu Wenshi, who was the general of the right guard at the time, said tentatively.

"I can't do it! Let's not talk about a few princesses, His Majesty had wanted to marry Fu Yun as the princess, but he refused to go to Chang'an to marry the princess, and after the cancellation of the kiss, he successively detained the envoys of our court, and there was no integrity at all. Treat such villains as they must be cut down to the roots. Never again! Wei Zheng said.

"What Wei Aiqing said is very true, and the matter of harmony is not discussed for the time being. The Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, and I will rub its sharpness! Li Shimin said loudly.

The generals were excited. This time we will definitely make great contributions, and no one wants to be left behind. Duan Zhixuan immediately asked for an order: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead troops to go, and he will never return if he does not kill Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun!" ”

"You have a foot disease, it's better to stay at home and recuperate!" Li Shimin politely rejected Duan Zhixuan, and Duan Zhixuan retreated, extremely annoyed.

After some discussion. Li Shimin also used his right servant to shoot Li Jing as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, Li Jing was very excited, and he wanted to lead the troops last time but failed to do so. Naturally, he swore again and again, and lived up to Datang and His Majesty.

At the same time, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, Gao Yongsheng and the Eastern Turks of the Tang Dynasty and the Qibi He Li and other armies attacked Tuyuhun. This time the battle can be called a luxurious lineup, Li Shimin strives to win, and the soldiers have practiced. Waiting for the expedition.

The news reached Tuyuhun. Khan Fuyun began to worry, and even regretted his hostility to the Tang Dynasty, isn't this self-inflicted trouble?

"Father Khan, Li Tang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there is plenty of grain and grass, so we must not confront him!" Fu Yun's eldest son, Murong Shun, stepped forward and said. The ancient hereditary system was almost the same, and the eldest son succeeded to the throne, but Murong Shun had already reached adulthood. is still the title of the eldest son, King Daning, and has not been named the crown prince so far.

Murong Shun's background is not low. 's mother is the Guanghua princess of the Sui Dynasty, with noble blood, and the reason why Fu Yun is depressed is because of his subordinate Tianzhu King.

King Tianzhu secretly walked quite close to Fu Yun's second son, and often spoke ill of Murong Shun, which affected Fu Yun's judgment and also led to his discord with Murong Shun.

"King, the Tang army is strong outside and middle, but it is actually vulnerable. In the past, with Qinghai Lake as the boundary, Duan Zhixuan was stunned and did not dare to pass, which shows that Datang also has a fear of the grassland. The Heavenly Pillar King said disapprerovingly.

"It's not what it used to be, Li Shimin vowed to take revenge and send a few good generals, how can he easily resist?" Murong Shun said annoyedly.

"Yes, if the Tang army takes advantage of the victory to pursue, we will have no way to retreat." Fu Yun had a sad face.

"The minister has his own clever plan!" The Heavenly Pillar King confidently attached his statement to Fu Yun's ear and muttered quietly for a while, Fu Yun laughed and even said yes.

Murong Shun snorted coldly and pushed the door out, his face full of annoyance, and he didn't even let himself hear it. Murong Shun can see that as long as the King of Tianzhu does not die, his father Khan will be manipulated by him, and it is difficult to say who will be the khan in the end. The younger brothers passed the elder brother to inherit the throne, and they would inevitably kill each other in the future. The more Murong Shun thought about it, the more angry he became, and secretly discussed with his henchmen, taking advantage of the chaos of the army, it would be great if he could get rid of the Tianzhu King.

After dispersing the dynasty, Duan Zhixuan walked with Yuan Ziyan with a blushing head, and sighed: "I regret not listening to the words of the national teacher that day, and I returned in vain." ”

"Hehe, General Duan is serious, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that the general also won the battle? His Majesty is bent on Tuyuhun surrendering, and it is inevitable that he will be anxious, so this is not to reinstate the general. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Well, having said that, I always feel uneasy. If time comes back, I will definitely follow the advice of the national teacher and will never give up halfway. ”

Duan Zhixuan was nagging, Hou Junji came over with a smile, at this time he was the secretary of the military department and the head of the march of Jishi Road, and asked: "What is the plan of the military division, can you also help me?" ”

"Of course, the same method is used against the same person." Yuan Ziyan understated it, and walked away with a smile.

Hou Junji was confused and didn't understand what it meant, Duan Zhixuan understood it, and said with a wicked smile: "If you want to get a prophet, listen to me carefully." ”

"Hehe, Zhixuan, then talk about it quickly!" Hou Junji urged.

"And without my credit, what do I have to say?"

"Don't go, I can still have good words for you!"

"Is that true?"

"Never break your word!"

"Stand for it!"

"This, Zhixuan can't be like this, right?"

The two laughed and left, and in the end, Duan Zhixuan still revealed the method to Hou Junji, which meant that the poor chased after him, and he didn't have to give up. Hou Junji can be cheap and obedient, this is natural, there is no need for others to say, Fu Yun must be beaten to his hometown!

At the beginning, the battle went very smoothly, and Tuyuhun was beaten to the point that he was powerless, and with great unwillingness, Khan Fuyun retreated again, and the approximate location was the southeast of Qinghai Lake, which was similar to the place where Duan Zhixuan hit last time.

Indeed, without Yuan Ziyan's reminder, everyone firmly believes that they will continue to chase the past. In order to maintain his physical strength, Li Jing ordered everyone to camp on the spot, and after a day of cultivation, he went straight to Fuyun's nest.

"In the end, you are still defeated, you have lost your troops and lost countless money, all of which are your fault!" Murong Shun pointed at the Heavenly Pillar King and said.

"Qinghai Lake is our natural protective barrier, once the husband is alive, he should always make a move, be timid, so as not to be aggrieved! And the Tang army has also been damaged, and if you fight again in the coming day, you will definitely be able to take Chang'an in one fell swoop! "King Tianzhu is eloquent, if he does a pyramid scheme, it will be really good.

"Do you think that Tang Jiang is all Duan Zhixuan? Last time, the soldiers stopped here, and this time they will definitely take advantage of the victory to chase after them! Murong Shun said angrily.

"Don't worry, my son, the Tianzhu King has already thought of a countermeasure when the army is defeated." Fu Yun still favored the Heavenly Pillar King and said.

"How?"

"Burn the grassland!" King Tianzhu's words were amazing, and Murong Shun was stunned, "At this time, it is winter, everything is withering and withering, the grassland is burned, the spring breeze is regenerating in the coming day, and the Tang army's war horses have no grass to eat, so they naturally retreat and return." If you insist on coming, we can lure the enemy deep and catch him off guard! King Tianzhu said confidently.

"It's light, let me ask you, the grassland is destroyed, what should I eat when I wait for the war horses?" Murong Shun asked with annoyance in his eyes.

"Naturally, you can draw a separation zone to trap the Tang army, and not all of them will be burned." King Tianzhu said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, probably because he felt that Murong Shun's IQ was not high enough.

Fu Yun also thought so, when the Tianzhu King only said it once, he could understand the meaning, his eldest son was really elm headed, not clever enough.

Murong Shun could say something, so he had to retreat, and he really hated this Heavenly Pillar King in his heart. Murong Shun's mother, Princess Guanghua, did not escape the fate of Princess Yicheng, who was Shifu's wife and Fu Yun's sister-in-law.

After Shi Fu died of illness, Fu Yun occupied the beautiful and noble sister-in-law, and when he officially became the khan, Princess Guanghua was already pot-bellied, and it didn't take long for Murong Shun to be born.

Because Murong Shun was born prematurely, many people questioned his identity, whether it was Shifu's child or Fu Yun's, including Fu Yun, who was also a little unclear, and there were constantly people slandering, so they became more and more disgusted with this son. Hates the house and Wu, and is not good enough for Princess Guanghua, the princess of Guanghua is weak and sick, and his mind is heavy, he is sick in bed all the year round, and Fu Yun rarely visits her throughout the year.

The more Murong Shun thought about it, the more angry he became, knowing that his father was confused and always listened to the Heavenly Pillar King, so he came out angrily again and walked outside to relax. The master's complexion was wrong, and his subordinates naturally guessed that there was a ** not far from ten, and they chattered together, and Murong Shun finally showed a sinister smile on his face. You blame me for being unjust!

On the second day, Tang Jun was still asleep, vaguely feeling that the sun had risen very early today, and he felt a little stinging when his eyes were closed.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The exclamations in their ears came one after another, and General Tang hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, and the scene in front of them made them instantly stunned.

The fires were devouring the dry grassland, and the smoke was rising into the air, so that it was a little difficult to breathe.

"I didn't expect Fu Yun to make such a decision!" Li Jing said indignantly, I am afraid that this fire will only take half a day to extinguish, but it has brought them great trouble.

Fu Yun and the King of Tianzhu were so proud that they hurried back unhurriedly, and even imagined that the Tang army would chase them all the way and then wipe them out.

"It's almost burning, tell me to stop." Fu Yun gave the order, but things were not as he imagined. (To be continued......)
