Chapter 734: Tugu has changed

It is said that during the Great Dynasty Meeting, Lu Dongzan and his prince Dazan Gampo carried a letter from Langri Zampu into Beijing, wanting to send troops together with the Great Sui to exterminate Tuyuhun. However, Tuyuhun was originally in the bag of the Great Sui, but because the Great Sui had not yet been unified, the strategic center of gravity of the entire empire was included, so there was no spare strength to the outside world, and Tubo wanted to share the Tuyuhun is tantamount to grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, Yang Tong not only did not form an alliance with Tubo, but also expressed his support for Tuyuhun, in order to make Tubo have some concerns, Tuyuhun was not swallowed by Tubo, and simply included Tuyuhun in the 'Silk Road Alliance' to protect. I never thought that Tubo would turn around and form an alliance with Tubo.

Yang Tong knew that Tubo was an uncontrolled wolf and would meddle in the internal state affairs of the Great Sui, so he ordered General Wang Fubao to lead 30,000 soldiers of the Ninth Army to garrison Heyuan to defend Tubo; Wu Su, deputy commander of the Tenth Army, led 30,000 soldiers to garrison Lintao, and at the same time sent Xue Wanche back to Lintao to preside over the military affairs of the Tenth Army. However, Yang Tong still underestimated Langri Zampu's ambitions, not long after his side arranged, Tubo killed the half-dead Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun was caught off guard, defeated again and again, and was in a worrying situation.

So Wang Fubao led his troops to the south, but the situation changed abruptly, before arriving at Jishi Pass in Chishui County, Heyuan, there were Chishui officials sent scouts to report, saying that there was a tribe in a river valley in the south that was killed, Wang Fubao thought that the Tuyuhun people of Heyuan County did not obey the imperial court discipline, wantonly killed other tribes, and in anger, he personally led three thousand elite horsemen to the scene of the incident overnight, only to know that this tribe had been invaded by the Tuyuhun people.

Inside and outside the tribe, there was a scorched earth, and the dead bodies of men, women, and children were all over the ground.

Wang Fubao was furious, the Tuyuhun people in Heyuan County were already the people of the Great Sui, and if you slaughtered these people, you slaughtered the people of the Great Sui, how could he not be angry?

In a fit of rage, he slaughtered his troops overnight, and the battle ended before dawn.

At this time, in front of him is a group of Tuyuhun people who are like being bound, they have just slaughtered this tribe, they are drunk, and they are captured by the Sui army in their sleep, they look at this group of Sui iron horsemen who seem to fall from the sky, there is indescribable fear in their eyes, the nightmare scene of last year is vivid, and now the Sui army has reappeared, they are afraid that they will not survive......

"Give them a hard time."

"Whoa." At the signal of Wang Fubao, the soldier who had already hated him pulled out his horizontal knife and put it on the neck of a Tuyuhun man, and asked hatefully, "What's your name?" ”

Tuyuhun is a branch of Murong Xianbei in Liaodong, and after the leader Murong Tuyuhun migrated the tribe to the desolate northwest, the country still continued to use Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and it was not difficult to understand the words of the Sui army. These Hu people have always been in awe of the strong, and they dare not tell the truth in the Sui army's Xueliang knife: "I am the king of Liang Quhu." ”

Wang Fubao said: "You are so bold, you dare to invade the land of the Great Sui and slaughter the people of the Great Sui, are you doing it by individual tribes, or does Murong Fuyun mean?" ”

"We, woo woo...... Liang Quhu had just said 'we', when he saw the Sui soldier's horizontal knife pierced into his shoulder socket, and Liang Qu suddenly screamed in pain.

"What are you?"

"Whew......" Before Tuyuhun could speak, he saw the Sui soldier stabbing into his shoulder socket, blood spurting out along the blade, the man screamed in pain, but the Sui soldier's expression did not waver. The soldier held the hilt of the sword, and in the wail of the other, began to twist the hilt: "If you don't say anything more, you will lose this arm." ”

That ruthlessness made all the Tuyuhun people tremble, and it hurt and depressed to be stabbed: You don't give me time to speak, just stab people, can I say it?

However, he didn't dare to say anything, and when he caught a glimpse of the fierce light flashing in Sui Ren's eyes, he hurriedly shouted bitterly: "We don't dare to offend the Heavenly Empire at all, we are really forced by the Khan!" ”

"Why did Murong Fuyun force you to invade the Great Sui?" Wang Fubao was puzzled, Murong Fuyun was beaten half to death by Xue Wanche and Wei Chigong last year, and this year because of the Great Sui, Tubo did not take advantage of his illness to kill him. According to the current situation of Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun is now beaten by Tubo and is struggling to breathe, and he has no strength to be an enemy of the Great Sui, and he still needs the protection of the Great Sui, how can he invade the border of the Great Sui? It's really strange, could it be that Tuyuhun was beaten to lose his temper and descended to Tubo?

The unlucky Liang Qu suddenly said to Ai Ai: "I really don't know what happened. ”

"You want to die?" Wang Fubao's gaze suddenly became cold.

Although the Tuyuhun official system was modeled after the Central Plains, the essence of the tribal system did not change. After Kwaru called himself Khan, the children of the Khan and the meritorious nobles began to appear as kings, in addition to the daimyo king and other small kings, there were also many people who called the princes, and these princes and ministers all led their own personal soldiers and led their own tribes, and the big and small kings were equivalent to the chiefs of a large and small tribes. It is precisely because Wang Fubao knows what the famous king of Tuyuhun is, so he doesn't care about the so-called famous king at all, and he is not complacent about catching a small 'chief'.

"No, no, no, I don't want to die." Liang Qu glanced at Wang Fubao in fear, and said bitterly: "I'm just a little king, and I really don't know much." All I know is that about ten days ago, a Tibetan man named Lu Dongzan came to our Jiyu City for two days, and then the old khan died, although the new khan explained that he died violently. But everyone was talking about the death of the old khan in private, I am afraid that it was inseparable from Nalu Dongzan, and then not long after, the new khan planned to join forces with Tubo to fight the Heavenly Empire. ”

Liang Qu suddenly looked at Wang Fubao and said: "General, I didn't lie to you, everything I said is true, the new khan is very strict against our Qiang people, and he won't tell us anything." ”

"Murong Fuyun is dead?"

"Yes, Murong Fuyun is dead, and the new khan is his younger brother Murong Xiaojun." Liang Quhu was afraid that Wang Fubao would not know, and said in detail: "After Murong Fuyun's son Murong Shun came to the Great Sui as a hostage, he appointed his younger brother Murong Xiaojun, the king of Gaochang, as the crown prince. Murong Shun died in the Great Sui, and Murong Ke, the king of Tianzhu, also died in battle last year, and no one can shake Murong Xiaojun's status. ”

"Is Murong Xiaojun very powerful?" Wang Fubao looked at Liang Quhu.

"Murong Xiaojun is ambitious, he has always been Fu Yun's hearty minister, he has a wide range of friends, even as far as Khotan, and many famous kings have close relations with him, so everyone supports him, not the old and incompetent Murong Fuyun."

Wang Fubao asked again: "In this way, you killed the herdsmen here, is it also Murong Xiaojun's meaning?" ”

Liang Qu suddenly trembled in his voice, and said resignedly: "This... We did exactly what we were told. ”

"Who is in command of you, and how many troops are you?"

"The lord will be the Great Treasure King Niluo Zhou and the Ancient Lv Wu, each with 5,000 men and horses......"

"What about Murong Xiaojun? Also coming? Is there a Tibetan army? "Wang Fubao can be sure that Tuyuhun and Tubo have united.

"He reorganized the various armies in Jiyu City, the number of which was as high as 60,000, and it was basically impossible for the general to capture Jiyu City with a few thousand people... The Tubo army didn't see it, and now there are still Jiyu outside the city and Tuyuhun fighting, but they are all pretending to fight, and the Tubo people are killing people who do not obey Murong Xiaojun. ”

Wang Fubao let out a sneer: "It can be said that the enemy can help him eliminate dissidents, it seems that Murong Xiaojun has paid a lot of price." ”

"I don't know." Catching a glimpse of Wang Fubao's cold face, Liang Quhu said again: "Tuyuhun is not very obedient to Murong Xiaojun's rule, if the general lets me go back, I will definitely know the benefits to everyone, they definitely don't want to be enemies of Shangguo!" He saw that the number of this Sui army was very small, and he must not dare to act rashly, thinking that he had grasped the key point of life, so he proposed a deal, as long as he could go back, then everything would be easy to say.

However, just when he was secretly happy, Wang Fubao directly pulled out his war knife and cut off his head with a knife, and the head that fell to the ground still had a snickering expression on his face, which corresponded to Wang Fubao's indifferent expression, which made people's hearts creepy.

Wang Fubao kicked his head away and sneered: "The Qiang people have always been cunning and untrustworthy; Do you want you to go back and report our truth to Murong Xiaojun? I'm not that stupid yet. Besides, if you have killed so many people, how can I give an account to the dead people if I let you go? ”

He put his sword back into its sheath, glanced coldly at the rest of the captives, and ordered: "Don't live your mouth, behead them all!" ”

"Whoa." With Wang Fubao's order, the Sui army brandished his knife, and all the prisoners present were killed.

Wang Fubao's partial general got the latest news, and stepped forward and said: "General, our sentry is back, this Qiang man is not lying, there are really a lot of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses in the south, I am afraid that we can't beat it with our manpower." ”

"We're not going south." Wang Fubao interrupted the general's words, he looked at the terrain here, and said: "The terrain of the source of the river is complex, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the mountains and hills are all over, the climate is very cold, and the roads are difficult to travel, not to mention that we only have 3,000 people now, even if the whole army arrives, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil." ”

"Then what should we do, should we just let the Tubo and Tuyuhun people enter the country together?"

"Naturally not, the people of my Great Sui Dynasty were slaughtered, if we withdraw like this, there will be no place to lose face for the court?" Wang Fubao said: "But the Qiang people also said that Tuyuhun and Tubo have also joined forces, and we don't know how many soldiers and horses they have, if they rush south, I am worried that they will fall into the enemy's ambush circle." ”

"Is the general saying that this Qiang army may be a lure soldier?"

"Not bad." Wang Fubao nodded and said: "The great changes in Tuyuhun are something we didn't expect, and it is not appropriate to act rashly without obtaining specific information about the enemy." We now have four things to do: first, send the news of the great change in Tuyuhun and the union with Tubo to the Holy Lord; secondly, it is to first defend the important places and contain the enemy from the country; Third, the army must assemble in the east of Baihai (Ngoling Lake) and the mouth of the Yellow River before dawn to prevent the Tubo army from entering, and Wuhai City is responsible for supply; Fourth, try to find out the information of the Tuyuhun and the Tubo army. ”

"Reasonable, but why are we waiting?"

"Of course not." Wang Fubao said: "Before they can react, we will still kill more living troops just like just now, and leave no living mouth along the way..."

"Whoa."

……

That night, many Tuyuhun tribes south of Heyuan County were slaughtered, and the Sui army built their heads into Jingguan and marched away before dawn.

The Zhuhu chieftain was shocked and shocked, and the Great Treasure King Niluo Zhou immediately went on guard and sent troops to search for the traces of the enemy army, and sent people to inform Lu Wu.

As soon as Lu Wu arrived outside Jishi Pass, before the army could enter the country, he received a warning, and his heart was depressed and naturally there was no need to speak. However, Lu Wu also knew the terrible things about the Sui army, so he could only order the army to return, and even the baggage was not wanted, and they were all abandoned...... Although the soldiers below were reluctant, as soon as they heard that the Sui army, which had defeated them badly last year, was coming, they obediently obeyed without saying a word.

But Lu Wu didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.

There are many mountains in the area around the source of the river, and there is a canyon on the side, which is a large mountain with a shading sun, the total length is about seven or eight miles, and the cliffs on both sides are squeezed obliquely to the middle, forcing five thousand cavalry to form a long column, and the army passes through it, which seems very crowded.

Today's weather is still good, but Lu Wu always feels upset, always feels that something big is going to happen, and the front army came to report, saying that the road ahead was rubble and blocked, and then he understood where the uneasiness came from.

"There is an ambush here, everyone has changed from the back team to the front team, the front team has become the back team, quickly retreat!" Lu Wu shouted loudly as he turned around on his horse.

Tuyuhun's army was already very shocked when they heard that Gukou was blocked, and with the order of the late Lu Wu, they hurriedly turned their horses and retreated.

But it was too late.

Before they could turn their horses' heads, stones and logs smashed down from above, cutting the long snake formation into several sections. Then the overwhelming rain of stones and wood smashed down the Tuyuhun army that fell into the valley.
