Chapter 1283: Movement of the two sides
1283. Movement of both sides
In Kushan, Li Pojun, who had been galloping for two days, finally joined up with Li Jing's army.
But Li Pojun was really a little painful, and when he came in a hurry, Li Jing's army was already ready to advance into the Red Sea, because the vanguard scouts sent back by Su Dingfang had already reported the news of the victory in the Red Sea.
"Dashuai, this Tianzhu King has been captured, Tianzhu King is old, the Tuyuhun war is coming to an end, I don't know what the Dashuai thinks about the aftermath of Tuyuhun?"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Pojun sat on Li Jing's side and asked in a loud voice, he was an ambassador to appease, and this post-war matter was his scope of responsibility.
Li Jing also twisted his beard when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The aftermath should be decided by the ambassador, and the commander only cares about the merits."
Seeing Li Jing prevaricating like a ball, Li Pojun also smiled, this Li Jing is good at protecting himself, and he will not comment on things that are not within the scope of his duties.
"Now only the enemies of Fuqicheng and Shuhun Mountain have not been annihilated, I wonder if the ambassador has any ideas?" Li Jing shirked Li Pojun's inquiry, but asked him about him, and Li Pojun was not polite to this.
said directly: "There are two generals Li Hou in Shuhun Mountain, and they must be wiped out with a snap of their fingers, so I suggest that they immediately send troops to ambush the city."
Li Jing nodded noncommittally after hearing this, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he said straightly: "It's just that there is a shortage of grain and grass now, which is only enough for the army for five days, and I am afraid it is not enough to expedition to besiege the city." Speaking of this, Li Jing was also quite annoyed, he used his soldiers like a god, and his soldiers used his life, and he fought Tuguhun all the way without the power to fight back, but he was constrained by logistics, which was really annoying.
"Five days?" Li Pojun was taken aback, and then he was also angry, and said straightly: "Who is the grain supervisor?" As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, what an important thing it is for this army to march west to Tuguhun, but the grain and grass are not abundant, Li Pojun has gone straight through two years of recuperation, the Tang Dynasty treasury is full, and the grain and grass of more than 100,000 troops are still easy to take out.
Li Jing coughed when he heard this, looked at Li Pojun, and said straightly: "Li Xuanyun, the assassin of Shanzhou."
Li Pojun was stunned, slightly embarrassed, he didn't expect it to be his own family, and then said solemnly: "Go back and report to the sage, and punish him severely."
"Marshal, don't miss the opportunity, didn't we capture a lot of cattle and sheep, we can slaughter them as military rations, if we don't break the city for a long time, with the prestige of Fu Yun for many years, the Tuguhun rout soldiers who have fled from all over the country will gather again, and then it will be a waste of manpower and material resources." Duan Zhixuan also said in a hurry.
Gao Yongsheng also said: "If it drags on, the old thief Fu Yun can't say that he will escape again, although Li Daliang is the west out of the source of the river to intercept his back road, but the vast Gobi grassland, once it escapes, it will fall short", said a slap on the table and looked particularly impatient, this person is also worthy of a famous rebellious manic, in front of Li Pojun and Li Jing dare to slap the table and shout,
The rest of the generals also spoke one after another, each with their own statements, Li Jing just didn't move, noncommittal, and didn't know what he thought in his heart, Li Pojun really couldn't bear it, and said straightly: "When it is decided, it will be decided."
Li Jing smiled, "That's the case...... Tomorrow will be opened, and the city will be besieged."
The Tang army decided to deal a fatal blow to Tuyuhun, and Fu Qicheng also made a pot of porridge.
Although the Tianzhu King was defeated and captured by Chihai, his 20,000 troops were killed and wounded by more than 10,000 people, and tens of thousands of routs fled in all directions, most of which fled back to Fuqi City.
However, the nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers who fled back brought not only an increase in troops, but also fear, the Heavenly Pillar King was actually captured alive! This is the most horrified by Tuyuhun in Fu Qi City.
Fu Yun on the sickbed was also frightened when he heard the news, although he now regretted that the Tianzhu King instigated him to break with the Tang Dynasty, and he also recognized that the Tianzhu King was a traitor who played with power at this critical juncture, but this was no longer helpful, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses would soon come to the city, at this time, it was time to consider his Murong Fuyun's head.
Even if Tuyuhun surrenders now, anyone can be spared, but only he Murong Fuyun can't forgive, because this time is different from the previous skirmishes, this time the Tang Dynasty is fighting a war to destroy the country.
According to the practice of the Central Plains Dynasty in the past, for a leader like Murong Fuyun who provoked a rebellion war, nine times out of ten, he was directly killed or imprisoned, and then a new leader was set up, and death or imprisonment for life was not what Murong Fuyun wanted.
At this time, the remnants of the Heavenly Pillar King who fled back like a panicked dog were also treacherous, and the more than 10,000 people who fled back were mainly from the Department of King Bai Ning and King Bai Yu, who were not originally the cronies of King Tianzhu.
In the Battle of the Red Sea, the King of Tianzhu originally had nearly 20,000 horses, if he hadn't been shot off his horse by Su Dingfang's arrow, he would still have the strength of a battle, but as soon as the King of Tianzhu fell off his horse, King Bai Ning and King Bai Yu saw that the situation was not good, and their first reaction was to slip, and the two who slipped the fastest also brought back the most soldiers and horses, each with thousands of people.
After returning to Fu Qi City, the two of them also had their own plans in their hearts, because the King of Tianzhu had been captured, and they had no masters, but there were already three masters in the city.
It stands to reason that there should only be one master, Murong Fuyun, the khan, why are there three masters, because Murong Fuyun is unconscious, and he can't say that he will return to the west that day.
And Murong Fuyun has two sons, one is the crown prince Zunwang, the eldest son of Murong Fuyun, that is, the de jure heir of the Khan, the king is a real Xianbei person, born to Murong Fuyun and another Tuyuhun noble woman.
And the other second son is Murong Shun, the king of Daning, Murong Shun's mother, Princess Guanghua, is a princess of the Sui Dynasty and a woman of the Han family, so Murong Shun has half of the Han blood in his bones, and he has been a hostage in Chang'an for ten years.
King Tianzhu took advantage of Murong Shun's hostage in Chang'an, and strongly persuaded Murong Fuyun to establish King Zun as the crown prince.
Now Fu Qi City is also divided into three forces, and there are those who are loyal to Murong Fu Yun and have a firm position, just waiting for Fu Yun to wake up; There are those who support the crown prince and the king, and as soon as Fu Yun dies, they will support the king as the khan.
But there are also those who are close to the Tang Dynasty, or those who are intimidated by the Tang Dynasty, to support Murong Shun, the pro-Han King of Daning, and King Bai Ning thinks like this.
"King Baiyu, now the Tang army will attack Fuqi City in the near future, it is better for you and me to support the King of Daning, King Daning has been in Chang'an of the Tang Kingdom for many years, and knows many powerful people of the Tang Kingdom, and there is half of the Han family blood, we defect to the King of Daning, and the Tang Army will definitely not embarrass us." King Bai Ning persuaded.
