Murong Qian shot an arrow, the arrow was like a meteor, and flew straight towards Gao Yong.

Gao Yong was fighting an enemy general, and he couldn't dodge it at all.

"General be careful!" The duty of Gao Yong's personal soldier was to protect his safety, and when he saw the flying arrows, one of his personal soldiers gave up his life and pounced.

With a "poof", the arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the black hammer armor on his body, plunged into his waist, and shot him off his horse.

Murong Qian saw that an arrow missed, so he shot the arrow again. Several Tang soldiers raised their shields to form a human wall to cover Gao Yong.

Gao Yong fought hard to kill the enemy general who blocked the way, led the Tang army into the middle of the anti-water Tuyuhun army, and after desperate fighting, finally broke through the enemy formation and killed out.

The enemy was in hot pursuit, and wanted to leave all the Tang troops behind, Gao Yong and others fought and retreated, he rose bravely, bent his bow and shot arrows, and killed several enemy generals who were chasing in front in a row, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the enemy army.

When Gao Yong couldn't see the pursuers, he counted the number of people, and escaped with him, and the Tang army only had 331 cavalry left, and almost everyone was wounded.

Gao Yong spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and he turned over and fell off his horse.

After a long time, Gao Yong woke up, got on his horse with the support of his own soldiers, and he ordered: "Herald, you immediately lead people straight to Chang'an and report to Your Majesty what happened here." The rest of the soldiers followed me to the city of Fuqi. ”

After speaking, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, raised his hand and whipped, and rode the horse straight to the city. Although the remnants of the Tang Army were ragged and their flags were torn, the army was strict and fierce.

After competing with Li You, Quan Wanji still returned to the Shu Palace, and this time he followed Li Ke to Fu Qi City.

In the evening of that day, Li Ke was in high spirits and discussed with Murong Shun the Tuyuhun etiquette when he was canonized tomorrow.

Quan Wanji was a shrewd person, he always felt that things were going too smoothly, and after Murong Shun left, he reminded Li Ke: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that General Xue Wanjun's men and horses are currently only 3,000 people, and his strength is a little insufficient. For the sake of safety, tomorrow's canonization ceremony might as well be held in the barracks of the Tang Army. ”

Li Ke said disapprenousively: "Master, it's okay, I see that Murong Zun and the others are sincere, and there will be no problems." I am the Xuanfu envoy of the Tang Dynasty, representing the dignity of the imperial court. If the canonization ceremony were hastily held outside the city, it would make the world laugh.

The imperial court canonized Murong Shun as the king of Xiping County and the new khan of Tuyuhun, with the aim of stabilizing the situation in Tuyuhun. I had to enter the royal city and proclaim the decree to the subjects of Tuyuhun with dignity, how could I make such a decision because I was worried about my safety? ”

Li You's words are reasonable, as a great country's edict, he didn't even dare to enter the other party's royal city, which was indeed ridiculous and generous.

Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness is reasonable, and the minister has been taught. However, it is still necessary to remind General Xue Wanjun to be prepared for contingencies. ”

The next morning.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is blue.

Li Ke, Murong Shun and others, escorted by Xue Wanjun and 500 Tang cavalry, entered the city of Fu Qi and walked towards the palace.

On both sides of the palace gate, crowded with people who came to welcome them, Murong Shun's younger brother Murong Zun led hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome Li Ke, the Tang Dynasty's Xuanfu envoy, and Murong Shun, the new khan.

Xue Wanjun vigilantly guarded the side, and couldn't see anything unusual, so he followed Li Ke and the others into the royal city.

Suddenly, in the streets, alleys, rooftops, doors and windows near the gate of the palace, a large number of Tuyuhun warriors appeared, and pounced on the Tang army guarding them. A large number of Tuyuhun warriors also poured out of the palace, killing Li Ke and others.

"Not good, there is an ambush! Your Highness, get out of here! Xue Wanjun shouted loudly.

Li Ke and the others hurriedly retreated in the direction of the palace gate.

However, it was too late. The gate of the palace was blocked by hundreds of Tuyuhun warriors.

The guards brought in by Xue Wanjun were only a few dozen, Murong Shun's guards were less than a hundred, and there were no less than a thousand Tuyuhun warriors pouring in from everywhere!

Xue Wanjun ordered the guards to protect Li Ke, and he rushed to the gate of the palace with dozens of soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows!" Someone in Tuyuhun's line shouted.

Li Ke and the others were surrounded in the empty courtyard near the gate, with nowhere to hide, he knew that it was over, closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Ahh After a burst of screams, Li Ke opened his eyes and found that he and his entourage around him were fine, and Murong Shun and the others not far away had all been shot dead.

Murong Zun's target is Murong Shun!

At this time, Li Ke and the others were already surrounded. Murong Zun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, please lay down your weapons, don't make fearless resistance, I guarantee the safety of your lives." ”

Li Ke heard the shouts and killings outside gradually subsided, and it seemed that the Tang army that was guarding had been annihilated. Knowing that resistance would be useless, he took the lead and threw down the sword in his hand.

Murong Zun said, "Very good, Your Highness, I will keep my promise." ”

He looked at Xue Wanjun, the enemy who killed his father, and wanted to devour him alive, but he held back and said, "General Xue, please go out of the city to restrain the Tang army in the barracks, as long as they don't leave the barracks, they will not be attacked." ”

Xue Wanjun looked at Li Ke, Li Ke nodded, and Xue Wanjun followed a Tuyuhun general out.

Murong Zun really didn't hurt Li Ke and the others, and imprisoned them in a large hall of the palace.

Soon after, Murong Zun came to the harem and asked to see his mother, Kan.

Murong Zun said, "Mother, my brother is ...... It's dead. ”

Kan wept silently. She knew that her youngest son, for the sake of the throne, would never leave her cowardly eldest son.

After a long time, she said, "Your father Khan was killed by the Tang, but your brother surrendered to the Tang. Dead or dead, I don't have such a wretched son. ”

Murong Zun didn't know what to say, so he was silent.

Kan asked, "Where is the Xue Wanjun who killed your father Khan?" ”

"Surrounded in the Tang army camp outside the city, Erchen temporarily left him with his life, and when the envoy of Tubo arrives and negotiates the conditions, Erchen will definitely take his life and avenge his father Khan!" Murong Zun gritted his teeth and said.

The reason why Murong Zun temporarily left Li Ke, Xue Wanjun and others was to wait for the envoy of Tubo to come to negotiate the conditions, and before the conditions with Tubo were not negotiated, he wanted to leave room for peace with the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Ke and others were also hostages, which made Li Shimin jealous and did not dare to easily send troops to conscript.

After Xue Wanjun left the city, he entered the military camp of the Tang army, and was immediately surrounded by tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops outside. He thought of Gao Yong and secretly prayed that nothing would happen to his army.

At this moment, a group of dark-skinned Tubo people crossed the border between Tubo and Tuyuhun and marched towards Fuqi City.

At the same time, a Persian caravan also entered the territory of Tuyuhun from Shanzhou in the Tang Dynasty. This caravan was different in that they did not carry goods, they just rushed desperately.

At a small river bend, the caravan stopped to drink and rest, and a man dressed as a Tuyuhun who was exploring the way ahead came over and said to the youngest boy in the caravan: "Your Highness, in front is Ge Tu Fort, and there are still two days away from Fu Qi City. ”

Li You said; "Okay, Brother Cheng, I've worked hard for you, continue to explore in front."

"Yes, Your Highness." Cheng Chuliang got on the horse and went away.

Li You asked, "Lao Ha, have you been to the Annoying Giant City?" ”

Hamid said: "Yes, it is only 120 miles from the city of Fuqi. What are you doing there? ”

Li You said: "Go and meet a person, this person is the key person to solve the crisis. ”
