When Li Shimin came to the Liangyi Palace, he saw that Hou Junji was already waiting outside. Li Shimin walked towards the study and asked as he walked; "Where's the emergency military intelligence?"

Hou Junji said: "It's Tuyuhun." ”

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Tuyuhun? What can Tuyuhun do? ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, please explain in detail. ”

Soon, the two entered the study.

After listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Shimin said angrily: "Nonsense, the king of Qi concluded that there would be a rebellion in Tuyuhun based on the words of a Hu Shang, I really don't know what to do." What about King Qi? ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi said that the military situation is urgent, and there is no time to delay, and he has already led people to Tuyuhun." Hou Junji said.

"Bold, nonsense!" Li Shimin was just unhappy about the matter of Concubine Yin, and Li You's actions angered him.

Then, he began to count Hou Junji, he said: "Junji, he is a child messing around, why don't you, a veteran of a hundred battles, have no judgment?" Well? ”

Hou Junji was silent, waited for Li Shimin to finish his anger, and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister first heard about this, he was also a little unconvinced, but after all, this matter involved His Royal Highness the King of Shu. The minister thinks that it is better to believe what is there than to take risks. ”

Li Shimin said: "I don't believe it, a little Tuyuhun can still turn the sky upside down." In this way, you send someone to chase the King of Qi back, and by the way, send someone to Tuyuhun to inquire about the news. ”

It's no wonder that Li Shimin didn't believe Li You's words - there are still 10,000 Tang Army cavalry stationed in Tuyuhun!

Hou Junji said: "Minister, obey the order." "I said goodbye and retired.

He said in his heart: "His Royal Highness King Qi said that His Majesty would not believe this, and sure enough, so he was in a hurry to set off." If His Royal Highness the King of Shu really has an accident, it will be too late to wait for the court to make a decision before taking countermeasures. ”

Soon, Li Shimin returned to Yicui Palace.

After all, Concubine Yang is the daughter of the emperor, and she has experienced the ups and downs in the palace, and she is very keenly aware that this matter is related to Li Ke, after all, what happened at the border recently is related to Tuyuhun.

She asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, what happened, is it related to Ke'er, what happened in Tuyuhun?" ”

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is not too much for Concubine Yang to care about her son.

Li Shimin smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's Li You who heard a Persian merchant say that the political situation in Tuyuhun is unstable and something may happen." ”

Concubine Yang put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "You'er, this child, has been doing well recently. However, he is a child after all, and when he sees that Ke'er is going to make a contribution, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable. Hee-hee, juvenile nature, it's not surprising. ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, don't talk about this, Concubine Ai, you have been plump recently, I like ......"

The vast Qinghai Lake, sparkling, grass and warbler flying, makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, stood by the lake, full of spirit, a sense of poetry came to his heart, and he wanted to write a poem, but unfortunately, he was not in a hurry, and the poem needed to be revised repeatedly. At this moment, I was on the way, so I had to give up regrettably.

He said with emotion: "I used to stay in Chang'an City all day, and I could see such a beautiful scenery there." ”

Murong Shun, the new Khan of Tuyuhun, said with a smile: "Your Highness, I will invite Your Highness to climb Liupan Mountain when I have time, the scenery on the top of the mountain is amazing." ”

Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tugu Hunyuan, was shot and killed by the Tang Dynasty general Xue Wanjun not long ago. He has two sons, the eldest son is this Murong Shun, and there is also a son named Murong Zun. Murong Shun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was canonized by Li Shimin as the new Khan of Tuyuhun, and Li Ke escorted him back to take office this time.

The reason why Li Ke is willing to undertake the task of announcing this time is because he has the bottom in his heart. After Tuyuhun surrendered, the Tang Dynasty general Xue Wanjun commanded 10,000 iron cavalry stationed in Fuqi City, waiting for the arrival of the imperial court's decree. Safety is not an issue, it's all a gilded journey.

Traveling in the mountains and rivers, and making achievements, no wonder he is so excited.

At this time, Quan Wanji, who followed him, said: "Your Highness, if you walk more than ten miles ahead, you will be Fu Qi City." Fu Qi City is located in the south of the Caiji River, about 7.5 kilometers on the west bank of Qinghai Lake, also known as the ancient city of Tiebujia, surrounded by an open area, rich water and grass prairie.

Li You ordered the march to speed up, and the group hurried to continue westward.

What Li Ke didn't know was that just a few days before he arrived in Fuqi City, there was a large-scale rebellion in Longde City, the second largest city in Tuyuhun, and Murong Qian, the cousin of the former Khan Murong Fuyun, launched a mutiny in Longde City, and Xue Wanjun sent his deputy general Gao Yong to lead the main cavalry force to quell the rebellion. At present, there are only 3,000 Tang troops in Fuqicheng.

What he didn't know was that Murong Qian's rebellion in Longde City was a conspiracy in itself, and the purpose was to transfer the Tang army from Fu Qi City.

What awaits Li Ke is a huge conspiracy.

Soon, Li Ke escorted Murong Shun to the Tang army camp outside Fu Qi City, and Xue Wanjun greeted Li Ke and his party.

Xue Wanjun and his younger brother Xue Wanche were both famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and the current general of Zuotunwei was the one who shot the former khan Murong Fuyun. He was very careful, for the sake of safety, he prevented Li Ke from entering the city, and asked Murong Zun to lead the civil and military officials in the city to go out of the city to meet Li Ke and Murong Shun, the king of Shu, in the Tang army camp.

Murong Zun is 33 years old this year, with a square face, hooked nose, tall and mighty, he has a resolute and resolute personality, which is very different from his brother Murong Shun's cowardly personality, and his prestige in Tuyuhun is extremely high, and he currently actually holds the real power of Tuyuhun. He has always been unconvinced that his brother Murong Shun's eldest son inherited the status, and he has long wanted to replace him.

Murong Zun led hundreds of civil and military officials to meet with Li Ke and Murong Shun, the kings of Shu. On the surface, the attitude is very respectful, indicating surrender.

Li Ke was very happy and announced the imperial court's policy towards Tuyuhun, and agreed to hold the canonization ceremony of Murong Shun the next day.

Besides, Xue Wanjun's deputy general Gao Yong led 7,000 Tang troops and 10,000 Tuyuhun troops, and after a five-day march, he finally came to the outside of Longde City, and met the 30,000 rebels led by Murong Qian. The two sides lined up against each other on the grassland east of Longde City.

Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, Gao Yong was not afraid. Like any iron-blooded army in the founding period, the Tang army at this time was extremely brave, and it was the most powerful period in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"Even if there was only one soldier of the Don Army, he dared to charge up to a hundred enemy troops and dared to achieve victory." - The famous poet Gao Shi.

The battle began, Gao Yong led the Tang army to take the lead in the attack, he wanted to rely on the shock power of the Tang cavalry to quickly defeat the enemy army.

Just as the Tang army was charging, a cavalry suddenly came out of the left flank, wearing clothes and hats made of yak leather, brandishing scimitars, and shouting slogans in their mouths, and rushed over.

They are the Tibetan cavalry, and they are also an iron-blooded army that has just opened the country!

Steel knife to steel knife, morale to morale, two equally brave armies collided fiercely.

The enemy is constantly falling, dripping with blood. The Tang army was also constantly falling, and blood was flowing everywhere. However, no one flinched, only a fierce fight.

The 30,000 rebels on the opposite side came up, and the Tang army still fought to the death.

At this time, the fatal blow came - the Tuyuhun army, which followed the Tang army, defected to the battle!

At this time, the Tang army was already less than 3,000 people, surrounded by an enemy army ten times its size, and it was in danger.

Gao Yong knew that the imperial court's edict was about to arrive in Fuqi City, and his only thought now was to break out of the siege and report to the Qincha.

Gao Yong's body, at this time, there were no less than five wounds, covered in blood, he didn't seem to feel pain, brandishing the horse lance while slashing, shouting, commanding the Tang army to break through.

Suddenly, a wolf's tooth arrow hit him in the shoulder, and he grabbed the horse lance with one hand and the shaft of the arrow with the other, broke the shaft with force, and continued to break through to the east.

Murong Qian was also a fierce general, and when he saw Gao Yong so brave, he took his bow and arrows and shot at Gao Yong.
