1287. Tuyuhun Palace Change

After spending half a day resting by the lake, the energetic Tang army continued to set off, but this walk was another two days, more than 800 miles around Qinghai Lake, and it was still far away from Fuqi City after walking around the lake for more than two days.

Fortunately, most of the marchers on this march were cavalry, and they captured a lot of Tuyuhun horses, cattle and sheep, and the officers and men of the whole army rode in pairs, and the Huotou battalion drove a large number of cattle and sheep, which was not very difficult.

Looking at the current distance, he will be able to camp outside the Tuyuhun King City the day after tomorrow, and at this time, what worries Li Jing the most is the Southern Route Army.

"Li Hou and the two are both famous generals, and they will definitely be able to win the division, don't worry, don't worry" Li Pojun also comforted him confidently, but he knew that not only Li Jing's North Route Army was like a bamboo, but the South Route Army of Li Daozong and Hou Junji over there was also a fierce mess, it was really a thousand miles to break the enemy, from the Shudun City in the southeast of the Kushan Mountain, Han Wai Mountain across the Wuhai Sea, and broke through the Dafeichuan where the Tuyuhun tribe gathered.

You must know that this Wuhai is not a sea, and a piece of hundreds of square kilometers of sand and gravel moraine, no grassland, no water source, even a bird is rare, it can be said that it is a no-man's land, in which the march, how difficult and difficult, can be imagined.

Of course, Li Jing also knew, pointed to the large blank space on the map, frowned slightly and said solemnly: "This area is a rare sand moraine, and the road is extremely difficult."

At this time, the second general Li Hou who Li Jing and the others were concerned about were indeed in trouble.

More than 100 miles away from the south of Qinghai Lake, there is a gray land, there is no green grassland on the shore of Qinghai Lake, there is only desolation, the ground is not soft grass, and hard permafrost and ice ballast, this is a vast sand and gravel moraine, hard permafrost ice ballast even if you wear good cloth shoes, it is also a pain in the feet, not to mention that the Tang army, which has traveled hundreds of miles, is already blue and ragged at this time.

The war horse has long been thin and weak, and it is useless, the Tang army can only lead the war horse to step forward step by step on this frozen soil, and many soldiers who faint and fall alone have to live and die, there is no condition to help their comrades under this situation, Li Daozong's heart is like a knife.

"Cheng Fan (Li Daozong's character Cheng Fan), and take a break to see if the brothers who have fallen behind can keep up", Hou Junji caught up a few steps forward, put the long lance on the ground, gasped and said, looking at the back with a face unbearable, "Can you keep up with one by one."

Li Daozong's face was also heavy, he nodded, dragged a thick leather cushion from the horse's back and sat down, and said with a worried face: "I don't know how far there is to reach the West Sea ahead, our army is tired, if we encounter a large number of enemy troops, it will be more auspicious."

Hou Junji knocked a piece of ice ballast from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, and his mouth was so cold that he drooled, and wiped his mouth Hou Junji said straightly: "Our army has been marching for five days after breaking through Han Wai Mountain, and it has not stayed during this period, according to the distance, it should not take more than three days to arrive."

"Three days ......", Li Daozong muttered and looked at Tang Jun who was sitting or lying on the ground, and was very worried in his heart, "Can we still hold out for three days?"

Hou Junji snorted, "Cheng Fan Xiu is going to be depressed, isn't this just a little difficult to walk, as long as there is food and drink, how can you not walk."

Hou Junji said the same thing, the road of this ice ballast glacier is difficult to walk, but they have food and drink, the captured cattle and sheep can't eat enough, and the glaciers on the ground are inexhaustible.

Although there is no shortage of food and water sources, but the environmental restrictions, it is still very difficult, what if you have cattle and sheep, don't you still have to cook and roast with firewood, don't you have to melt and drink water if you have glaciers, the key is that the war horses have no pasture, and people have no dry food, so that the Southern Route Army is extremely difficult along the way.

"Brothers, the front is not far from the commander of the Chinese army, when the time comes, we will be able to drink hot wine, eat fragrant rice noodles, hold on, now it will be in vain, and the military merits will not be gained." Hou Junji stepped onto his wilting BMW, raised the lance in his hand and shouted, full of energy, extremely loud, not at all like a tired general.

When the soldiers heard this, they also lifted their spirits, underestimated it, and continued to walk with full breath.

Li Daozong was also pleased, people said that Hou Junji was unrighteous and unjust, and he could be called a talented and virtuous person, but at the moment, Hou Junji was still a good general.

The words are not rough, Hou Junji's simple and rude two sentences said Tang Jun plucked up his spirits, took heavy steps to endure the of frozen soil and ice, and advanced step by step.

In the city, the dust had already settled, and in front of the palace, Murong Shun, the king of Daning, looked a little sluggish, looking at a bloody human head in front of him, Murong Shun staggered a few steps and almost fell.

"Two... Second brother, this ......", the corners of Murong Shun's mouth were trembling, and there was unconcealed fear and sadness in his eyes, and then tears flowed uncontrollably, "Second brother... The second brother ......".

After crying for a long time, Murong Shun got up, and with tears in his eyes, he glared at a middle-aged man standing respectfully in front of him, who lowered his head, his face was as usual, and he bowed slightly to look very respectful of Murong Shun.

"You...... King Dabao, how dare you... Dare to kill the king, he is our prince of Tuyuhun...". Murong Shun's fingers trembled and pointed at this person and said angrily.

The middle-aged man of Tuyuhun standing respectfully was none other than the Great Treasure King Niluoluo, who turned out to be the Great Treasure King who led the army to break through the Prince's Mansion and killed the Tuyuhun Prince, and dedicated his head to Murong Shun.

"King Daning, the crown prince and the king acted perversely, colluded with the king of Tianzhu, rebelled against the suzerain, caused military disasters, and made us lose countless cattle and sheep and heroic clansmen, if we don't kill them and atone for our sins to the Tang Dynasty, then our Tuyuhun Khanate will be completely forgotten." The Great Treasure King Niluoluo looked at Murong Shun and said righteously.

After saying that, the two people beside Bai Yu King Bai Ning also agreed, "King Tianzhu has caused us to lose everything, not only is he a sinner, but the king he supports is also a sinner, this king Bai Ning is willing to lead his subordinates with 5,000 warriors, respectfully invite King Daning to become the crown prince, and I am willing to serve King Daning as the crown prince of my Tuyuhun Khanate."

King Bai Ning pulled out the scimitar at his waist, stood behind Murong Shun and shouted, the words fell, and the thousands of tribal soldiers he brought also shouted, "Respectfully invite King Daning to become the crown prince."

Bai Yuwang's eyes widened, and he looked at his teammate Bai Ning Wang with dissatisfaction, it was this guy who took the lead, no, this support merit can't be taken by him alone.

Immediately, his mind turned sharply, the Khan was old, and he was seriously ill and could not wake up, and it was obvious that the day of his death was not far away, so it was better to ......

After a little thought, King Bai Yu raised his sword and shouted in Murong Shun's frightened expression, "The Khan is heavy and can no longer lead us, this king, King Bai Yu, respectfully ask the crown prince King Daning to succeed to the throne and become the new great Tuyuhun Khan."
