The so-called one person is poor, and two people are wise.

Li Ru and Xi Zhicai, two swords combined. This goes to Qiuzi, and the horse is set to be successful. Only one man was left to guard the camp, and another person was brought to advance. Whether offensive or defensive, Liu Bei can be invincible.

It is expected that the countries of the Western Regions can compare with the two of them, not to mention very rare, they are simply unique.

coincided with the joy of a daughter, so I drank a few more glasses. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei got up and quit the feast. After sending off a group of retainers, Liu Bei bathed and changed his clothes and entered the inner room. Raise soldiers for three days, and use them for a while.

Seven young ladies, come for their husbands!

The prancing horse raised the whip, and killed the great river to the east, and the army was defeated for thousands of miles.

The inside story is really not enough for outsiders.

The next morning, I was refreshed. Seeing that the seven young ladies were still asleep, they quietly got up and were served by the An sisters to wash and change clothes.

As soon as he put down the porridge bowl, Xi Zhicai came to report early. Please enter the big tent for a while, and Liu Bei learned that Bai Zhuo had arrived with the convoy.

Then he was called.

"Bai Zhuo pays a visit to the lord." Compared with when they were young, the national hatred and family hatred when the two first met, bitter and bitter, and Bai Zhuo at the moment looked calm and quite indifferent.

"Long time no see, but everything is alright?" Liu Bei smiled and ordered him to get up.

"Back to my lord. Everything is good. Worry-free food and clothing, food and clothing. Bai Zhuo sat down: "I have been in Linxiang for a long time, and I am already a villager." If it weren't for the fact that the lord wanted to go to the Western Regions, he would have forgotten the major affairs of his family and country. ”

"I agreed with the master book and Peng Shi that I want to go to Qiuzi and his party. Can you elaborate on the feelings of the old country? Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Why do you need to ask? Zhuo Zi should know everything, and say everything. ”

There was a slight pause. The old things that were buried in my heart and didn't want to mention them easily were told by Bai Zhuo.

The rebellion of Qiuzi is a struggle for the throne.

The cause is in Baiba.

Bai Ba was originally a servant of the Han Dynasty, so he was pro-Han. Because of this, in the ninth year of the establishment (84 years), Ban Chao abolished the king of Guizi Yulido, and established Baiba as the king. Bai Ba also lived up to expectations, and sent troops to help Ban Chao attack Yanqi, Yuli, and Weisu many times, so that the Han court could reunify the Western Regions. After Ban Dingyuan returned to China, the countries of the Western Regions rebelled against the Han Dynasty one after another, and the Western Regions were besieged by Duan Xi, Ren Shang, Liang Ming, Zhao Bo, etc., and led 9,000 troops to retreat to Qiuci.

Seeing the country in turmoil, and being alone is still young. When he was dying, Bai Ba passed the throne to his brother Bai Ying.

Bai Ying succeeded Bai Ba as the king and swept away the turmoil in one fell swoop. Later, Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, the head of the Western Regions, persuaded Bai Ying to return, Ying hesitated, and bravely opened the letter with grace, and Bai Ying immediately led Gu Mo and Wen Su to surrender bravely. In the fourth year of Yanguang (125 years), Bai Ying led the army to attack the front of the chariot division with his squad and defeated the Xiongnu King Yili. The following year, he attacked the rear of the chariot division and defeated the Huyan king of the Huns. In order to restore the Western Regions, he made great contributions.

Because of this, the squad leader Shi Cai said: "If you want to get the Western Regions, you must first get Qiuzi." ”

Qiuzi is a large country in the oasis of the Western Regions, once married with Wusun, more than 1,000 miles from east to west, more than 600 miles from north to south, 6,970 households (6970), 81,317 (81,317) mouths, 21,766 soldiers (21,076), and set up one of the great commanders, the auxiliary marquis, the Anguo marquis, the Hu marquis, the Hu commanders, the chariot divisions, the left and right generals, the left and right lieutenants, the left and right cavalry kings, and the left and right force auxiliary monarchs.

However, the small city-state of 180,000 people had more than 20,000 defenders. As mentioned earlier, the mercenaries of the Western Regions are a mature group.

As a great power on the Silk Road. The wealth of Qiuzi provided sufficient financial support for the existence of mercenaries. There were even many border Han soldiers who spontaneously became mercenaries after being discharged from the army, and were hired by the countries of the Western Regions.

Because it is brother to brother. So there are different ways to hereditary the throne of Qiuzi.

In the second year of Bai Yingyong's establishment (127 years), because his son was also young, he passed the throne to Bai Lie, the son of his brother Bai Ba. Bai Lie was then the third generation of the Bai family's king of Qiuzi. According to the rules of succession between brothers, after Bai Lie's death, the throne should be passed to Bai Ying.

The Bai's Qiuzi King, which is recorded in history, seems to be in line with the principle of succession. Bai Ba, Bai Ying, Bai Chun, Bai Zhen. It can also be seen from the naming that echoes each other. Hegemony, shock, English, pure.

Bai Zhuo is obviously in the same vein as Bai Ying.

It is the eldest grandson of Bai Ying. It's a pity that his father Bai Huasheng died young. As a result, Bai Ying, who was supposed to inherit the next commander of Qiuzi, had a gap in succession. Is it passed on to Bai Zhuo from generation to generation, or is it passed on to Bai Lie's son, Bai Meng.

Guizi court, arguing. Plus there are people behind the scenes. Let the originally calm Guizi Kingdom suddenly make waves.

Seeing that the two factions are about to fight each other. Bai Meng, the son of Bai Lie, was suddenly assassinated when he went out hunting, and died after returning to the palace.

This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

King Guizi was furious. Send the palace guards to hunt down and kill the ministers and nobles who support Bai Ying's lineage. and beheaded his younger brothers, but only Bai Zhuo fled alone.

Reputedly. Since then, Lao Wang has been ill. Now that he is dying, it will not be long before he dies.

Bai Lie succeeded to the throne in the third year of Yongjian, and has reigned for fifty and four years. surpassed the second generation of Qiuzi ancestor Chengde, and he was regarded as the king of longevity.

After listening to Bai Zhuo's account, Liu Bei sighed.

Typical borrowed knife killing.

If you want to sort out the clue, you need to look at the relationship of interests: Lao Wang's only son was killed, so naturally he will not be the mastermind; Bai Zhuo is full of beheadings, and it is impossible.

Who else?

It is considered to be those nobles with ulterior motives in the country of Qiuzi.

Liu Bei asked again: "Does Bai Meng have an heir?" ”

"Yes." Bai Zhuo nodded lightly: "His name is Bai Xiong." I should be more than ten years old this year. ”

Xi Zhicai, who had been sitting and listening quietly, said: "When the young lord ascends the throne, he will produce powerful ministers." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and asked again, "Who is Baixiong's mother?" ”

"The princess of Naisha Che Country." Bai Zhuo replied.

Then everything was clear.

The country of Shache was once strong. Later, the shift was set to break the country of Shache. After this battle, Ban Dingyuan became famous in the Western Regions. The Shache Kingdom gradually declined, and was destroyed by the Shule Kingdom after a collapse.

At the time of the catastrophe of annihilation, the country of Shache must want to join forces with Qiuzi and try to make a comeback. He hit it off with the domestic nobles of Qiuzi.

In the end, it's a struggle for power.

Liu Bei then asked: "If you capture Qiuzi, do you want to be the king?" ”

Bai Zhuo shook his head categorically: "I don't want to." ”

"Why?" The answer was so resolute that Liu Bei was stunned.

"Zhuo just wants to be by the side of the lord for a long time, and he doesn't want to be the king of turtles." Bai Zhuo bowed to the ground.

"So, let's talk about it when we enter the city." Liu Bei did not say that he was dead. People's ideas change from time to time. When he really broke through the capital of Qiuzi, Xu Baizhuo had a new idea, which is unknown. Or don't talk too hard.

"Whoa!" Bai Zhuo got up.

I heard the neighing of people outside the tent. Yesterday, Xi Zhicai arrived with 100 troop vehicles, and the auxiliary soldiers in the battalion were putting together 200 troop chariots into a slightly larger camp. The 9,000 sets of Lou Sang armor that filled the carriage and piled up on the roof were ready to be distributed to the soldiers under his command.

The two righteous brothers Guan and Zhang, as well as the commanders, team leaders, chiefs, Wu chiefs, and Xianbei warriors, are all eager to try and gear up.

Except for the 2,000 sets of new armor for the Wolf Rider and the Koji Clan, the rest are all the first generation armor of Lou Sang that has been redressed. Defense is sufficient.

Eight thousand Xianbei elite riders, all men and horses are equipped.

When the remaining 900 military vehicles of the Chang'an battalion of the leader of Liyi arrived, Liu Bei sent his troops westward.

Straight to the turtles.
