After Gao Yong and the others left Longde City, they continued to march in the direction of Fu Qi City.

When they passed through the large market towns, they made a detour, and when they came across small villages, they robbed them, and gradually the men and horses regained their strength. On the way, they sheltered some stragglers and Han Chinese who had fled because of the war, and the number of men and horses increased from more than 300 to more than 500.

This morning, they left the village where they had stayed last night and set foot on this deserted section of the Gobi Desert. They traveled all the way, and the goal was also the town of Saltwater Bend. When they discovered this team escorting the Tibetans, they saw that the other party was small, so they raided them.

At the beginning of the battle, the Tuyuhun people panicked for a moment, but they immediately formed a defensive formation and closely guarded the Tubo and the right prime minister. The attack of the Don army was stubbornly blocked.

The Tang army's ranks were mixed with some Han Ming warriors, although they were also very brave, but after all, they had not accepted the cooperation of the battle formation, which led to the confusion of the entire Tang army, unable to form an effective attack, unable to break the enemy's formation for a while, and the casualties began to increase.

Gao Yong had the intention to temporarily retreat and reorganize the team to organize the attack, but he couldn't do so.

Gao Yong and others robbed all the way, food and other materials could be replenished, but arrows could not be replenished, they could not disengage from the enemy, otherwise they would be killed by the enemy's bow and arrows.

While fighting, Gao Yong shouted the names of his subordinate officers, telling them to control the troops and organize an effective attack.

The Tuyuhun army was extremely elite, and they saw the weakness of the Tang army, and on the one hand, they organized troops to form a formation to block the attack of the Tang army, and on the other hand, they freed up some archers and hid behind the battle formation to shoot the officers and soldiers of the Tang army.

The casualties of the Tang army increased rapidly, and in the short time of the battle, no less than 100 people were killed and wounded.

Gao Yong was so anxious that he personally led a detachment and pounced on the enemy's tight sword formation, trying to open a breakthrough.

At this moment, a burst of cheers broke out among the Tuyuhun army, and the morale was greatly boosted - their reinforcements had arrived!

Gao Yong's heart is dripping blood, and I am afraid that all the hundreds of soldiers under his command will have to be explained here. He let out a loud shout and fought harder.

General Guo Yi, led by Tuyuhun, saw the arrival of reinforcements, and drew out most of the men and horses guarding the Tubo people, joined the battle formation in front, and launched a counterattack against the Tang army.

Gao Yong knew that it was over, he saw that it was getting late and the visibility was decreasing, and decided to order a retreat, and the troops could withdraw as much as they could.

With a loud shout, he swung his horse lance sharply, forced back the enemy army in front of him, and was about to give the order to retreat.

Suddenly, there was a scream from behind the enemy line, and chaos ensued.

Gao Yong saw that the Tuyuhun army that came to reinforce was slashing and killing the Tubo people and the guards around them.

"Your own people are our reinforcements!" Not only Gao Yong, but also other Tang Army soldiers also found out, and they shouted. The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they pounced again.

The formation of the Tuyuhun army was disrupted by the Tang army attacking from behind, and it could no longer block the attack of the frontal Tang army, and then collapsed.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle, and the remnants of the Tubo and Tuyuhun people were slaughtered by the overwhelming Tang army.

"Uncle Gao, I'm precious!" Zhang Guigui exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Yong was also very happy and shouted: "Precious, Hou Cheng, Li Duan, it's you!"

Gao Yong and the others sat on the stones on the side of the road and talked about their own situation.

When he heard Zhang Guigui and others talk about Li You, the king of Qi, Gao Yong was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what His Royal Highness the King of Qi was doing here. He is not very familiar with Li You, but I heard that he has a bad reputation. During this time, he had been Tuyuhun and had no idea what had happened in Chang'an recently.

Gao Yong asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, are you all following him?" ”

Zhang Guigui knew his doubts, and briefly introduced Li You's current ox fork, and Hou Cheng and Li Duan affirmed it on the side.

General Gao Yong was skeptical, but still accepted the reality, and he said that he accepted the command of His Royal Highness King Qi.

At this time, a captain came over with a bunch of things, and everyone didn't know him.

Zhang Guigui called the guide to take a look and figure out these things. There is an edict signed by Murong Zun agreeing to the entry of the Tibetan army into the royal city of Fuqicheng, and there are the seals of the Tibetan envoy Van Goghan and the right prime minister of Tuyuhun.

Zhang Guigui said: "These things, I'm afraid Brother You needs them, so I have to send them to him quickly." Come on, cut off the heads of the Tubo envoy and the right prime minister of Tuyuhun, and take them to Fuqi City together. ”

Gao Yong left behind a lieutenant and 100 soldiers to continue to intercept the Tibetans, and he, Zhang Guigui and others led the team to Fuqi City.

In the city.

After a few days of visits, Murong Bo had already completed the work of six important generals and ministers under Murong Zun, and agreed on a time for them to cooperate against the water. The moment when Murong Bo launched a fatal blow to his uncle Murong Zun was approaching.

On this day, Li You sent Murong Ling away from Fu Qi City, and when they were about to part, Li You smiled at Murong Ling and said, "Wife, take care." ”

Murong Ling gave him a blank look, ignored him, and followed Murong Bo away. Li You watched them out of the gate, and was about to turn around to leave, when he saw Murong Ling turn around and say, "Li You, you also take care." ”

Li You smiled and waved his hand, and Murong Ling turned to leave.

Back in the house, Hamid asked, "Lao Li, what should I do next?" ”

Li You said: "Uncle Agutai, are you familiar with the situation of the Tubo people in the city? ”

"I know some of them, but others can also find out," Agutai said. ”

Li You said: "Please send someone to find out their addresses, the more detailed the better." ”

Two days later, Zhang Guigui and the others finally came to the outside of Tuyuhun City, followed their guide into the city to inform Agutai, and then, under Agutai's arrangement, Zhang Guigui and Gao Yong entered Fuqi City.

When Zhang Guigui saw Li You, he said excitedly: "Brother You." ”

Li You was very happy, and gently slapped him on the shoulder, and then hugged him. said: "Second brother, it's okay." ”

"Chen Gao Yong has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." Gao Yong saluted and said.

"Good work, General Gao." Li You said.

Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi also stepped forward to greet them.

After listening to Zhang Guigui and Gao Yong's reports, especially when he heard that they had killed the Tibetan envoy Van Gogh Nian and Murong Zun's right prime minister, Li You was overjoyed, he clapped his hands and said, "God really help me!"

He stood up excitedly and said, "You will send their heads tonight, and I will be useful tomorrow." ”

Then, he said to Hamid: "You send someone to bring in the Tang army outside the city before curfew, the guards at the south gate are Murong Bo's people, tonight, we are going to launch a big operation." ”

The night was dark and the streets were silent.

Tonight was terrifyingly quiet, terrifyingly quiet, and the usual patrols on the streets didn't know where to hide. The bright moonlight seemed to have lost its former warmth and became a miserable white.

Suddenly, a lot of people appeared on the streets. They were in groups of three or five, shaking ghostly.
