Chapter 56: Who Should We Fight?

Deserter?

Don't say anything else, but from the soldier's answer, Kulimo can draw a conclusion, that is, Mu Dun escaped this time, and his soldiers and horses are actually deserters.

Mu Dun came over with a deserter, something must have happened.

"What do you say? Mu Dun came with a deserter? Curimo asked, raising his voice.

"The king is right, Mu Dun did come with deserters, it seems that he walked for many days to come to us, and many people are so hungry that they are not human, and the blood on their bodies is scabbed." The soldier guarding the door replied.

I understand, I completely understand, Mu Dun's Yuan Qi Zhebu must have encountered a great disaster, and they came to me in desperation.

"Please meet the leader of Mu Dun in the big tent." When he heard that Mu Dun and the others had fled all the way, he immediately realized that this time he was not here to provoke himself, but to defect to himself.

Everyone is the brother of Shanxi Wubu, since Mu Dun has already walked to his door, can he still be driven away?

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Mu Dun, the leader of the Yuan Qian Zhe Tribe, entered the Kurimo tent.

"Mu Dun meets the king." After seeing Curimo, Mu Dun knelt directly on the ground and bowed his hands.

Bow? That is the highest respect and the most sincere etiquette. The invincible Mu Dun actually bowed down to himself, which was too unexpected.

Curimo hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Dun up, "Leader Mu Dun, you and I are both clan leaders of Shanxi, there is no need for this." ”

Mu Dun got up and said to Kulimo: "King, Mu Dun has offended the king many times before, and I hope that the king will not be surprised, in the future, Mu Dun will take the king's horse as the head, and never offend the king's divine power again." ”

Offenses are all about strength, just as crows dare not offend eagles, and flies dare not offend fly swatters. When you were strong and strong, you provoked and offended the authority of Curimo again and again, and now you have no strength, of course, you have to look at the head of other people's horses. Otherwise, who will avenge you?

"Looking at the leader of Mu Dun like this, he shouldn't have eaten yet. Someone! Preparing wine and meat, the king and his ministers dined with the leader of Mu Dun. "Curimo's mind is definitely not comparable to Mu Dun.

He had already seen from Mu Dun that these people had been hungry for several days before they arrived at Qilao Tushan. There was no food there, it was purely hungry. But Mu Dun is also the leader after all, and the basic face still has to be given, so he deliberately wants to feast Mu Dun and others.

Mu Dun was not polite, and devoured it.

When he was almost finished, Curimo said to him, "Tell me what happened to the leader of Mu Dun?" ”

"King, just ten days ago, tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong of the Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhang Zhifang, the deputy envoy of Youzhou, suddenly launched an attack on our Yuan Qi Zhebu, and the troops were divided into three ways to encircle and suppress the people of our department. Our troops suffered heavy losses, and the people fled in all directions, and their whereabouts were unknown. After a night of fighting, I only escaped with seven or eight hundred soldiers. O king! Datang has already launched an attack on our Shanxi people, you must be careful! ”

The Tang Liaodong army raided the Yuan Qi Zhebu?

Hearing such news, all the ministers of the Ahui Department present looked at each other in surprise, and said almost in unison: "The Tang Dynasty raided the Yuan Qi Zhebu, why don't we know anything about this?" ”

"Of course you don't know, when I led my troops to flee here, I saw that Zhang Zhongwu's army in Youzhou had blocked the Laoha River. The connection between the two tribes of Nurul Tiger Mountain and the Seven Old Tushan Mountains has been completely severed, and even if we want to report the news to the king, there is no way! ”

Mu Dun's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and exploded in the big tent of the Ahui Ministry, which blew up everyone present in a daze.

What a thoughtful thought! There is reasoning, there are steps, there is a plan, there is a result.

With such a careful deployment, the Ahui Department was completely disabled by the Tang Dynasty without knowing it.

I'm scared when I think about it, I'm scared to the bone! Breaths of cool air rushed straight to the backs of Curimo and the others.

The things are clear, the results are clear, it's time to think about it.

"Let's talk about it, how do we deal with it?" The leader of the Ahui tribe and the king of Shanxi, Kulimo, said to everyone.

What to do?

Survival or destruction, this is a big issue, and it is a big question involving the life and death of the entire Shanxi tribe.

"Great King, judging from the fiasco of the Yuan Qi Zhebu, Datang is preparing to completely wipe out our Shanxi this time, I think we should gather all the soldiers and horses of the five Shanxi to deal with **, as long as we make good use of the advantages of our cavalry, we will definitely be able to defeat **. And once our army completely dampens the spirit of ** this time, I dare to ensure that Datang will not dare to do anything to me within a few years. A minister suggested.

"Yes, we should actively prepare for war, win by surprise, and defeat **."

Although everyone was indignant, everyone's suggestions were relatively rational.

With the current strength of the five departments of Shanxi, it is already very good to be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty, and it is still not enough to say such a big thing as destroying the Tang Dynasty.

It's okay to brag, but it's pure nonsense to blow the train.

Fighting is inevitable, and what we have to do now is who to attack, how to attack, and how to fight.

"Tell me what you think." Kulimo asked Mu Dun.

"King, what you said is very right, this time Datang is indeed here with the purpose of completely destroying our Shanxi, but I want to remind you that with the current strength of the five Shanxi Divisions, there is no way to compete with Datang. Therefore, I suggest that all the troops and horses of Shanxi should be summoned to attack the Duji Department that has already defected to the Tang Dynasty. Mu Dun said.

What a strange theory!

Datang sent troops to attack Shanxi, but the people of Shanxi did not rise up to deal with Datang but turned their guns to deal with their own people, are you not sick?

Mu Dun's suggestion immediately aroused the doubts of everyone present, "The Tang Dynasty attacked us, but why did we attack the Duji Department?" ”

Mu Dun is not sick, Mu Dun is angry in his heart!

"Great King, there were also signs before the Tang Dynasty attacked our Yuan Qi Zhebu." Under the siege of everyone, Mu Dun said angrily.

Omen?

Of course, there are signs of such a large-scale military operation, and it will definitely not be groundless, let alone a sudden idea.

"Tell me about it."

"Just two days before the Tang Liaodong Army attacked our department, the dog thief Tuluo of the Duji Department suddenly sent people to build a dam to intercept the water source in the upper reaches of the Daling River, causing our people to be cut off for several days. Our people were angry, and went to reason with them. That night, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to raid the people, cattle and sheep of our Yuan Qi Fold. Ladies and gentlemen, are you still a human being? They are clearly Datang's lackeys, eating inside and out, and joining hands with Datang to deal with our own people. "It's been a long time since the big battle, and the anger in Mu Dun's heart has not decreased, but has become more vigorous.

The most important thing is that the anger of the people is not aimed at the Tang Dynasty, but on the original self-discipline.

This anger is so good!

After the nobles of the Ahui Department here heard that there was such a thing, everyone's anger came up.

"Dog 0 day Turro, how can he betray his own people? King, what we hate most is this kind of dog slave who eats inside and out, and now send troops to attack their Duji Department and teach Turro a lesson. Under Mu Dun's instigation, the ministers of the Ahui Ministry were all indignant and ready to fight with the Duji Ministry.

"Yes, the reason why our Shanxi Five Divisions can have today's victory is due to the sincere unity of our five divisions, united with the outside world, and now the Duji Department betrays Shanxi, it is no longer our own people, it has become our enemy, we must eliminate dissidents, and return the five departments of Shanxi to a clean slate."

"Yes, we're going to attack the Inspectorate now."

。。。。。。

Good guys, really all together!

The war hasn't started yet, and everyone has to attack their own people first.

Fortunately, the leader of the Ahui Department is not a soft-eared person, and when everyone was indignant and wanted to take action against the Duji Ministry, Curimo spoke, "Everyone, we need to be cautious until we thoroughly understand the truth of the matter. ”

"King, what is the truth, this is the truth. The reason why our Yuan Qi Zhe Department was able to fail so completely was because of the collusion of the Ministry of Discipline and Discipline. Otherwise, the Liaodong Army of the Tang Dynasty alone may not be able to defeat our army. Mu Dun said eagerly.

The reason why Mu Dun is so sure that his defeat is the work of the Du Ji Department is also for a reason, because the Yuan Qi Zhebu has fought more than one battle with the Liaodong Army of the Tang Dynasty before, and the result of the war is that the two sides win and lose each other, and even if they fail, it will only hurt the skin, and do not move the muscles and bones.

This time the failure was so miserable, in Mu Dun's opinion, the main reason was that the Du Ji Department colluded with the Liaodong Army, and the bottom of the kettle was drawn, and the knife was stuck in the back, which made his failure so complete.

"No, no, no-" Kulimo shook his head, "Leader Mu Dun, this king doesn't think so, you don't think you have fought with the Liaodong Army once or twice before, why haven't you been so defeated?" ”

"That's because the Duji Department has not betrayed us before, this time it is different, the Duji Department betrayed us first, helped the Liaodong Army attack us, and attacked back and forth, and our Yuan Qi Zhebu led to such a big defeat when the enemy was attacked in the abdomen."

Curimo nodded slightly and said, "This can be regarded as a reason, but this king thinks that the most fundamental reason is still in the Tang Dynasty." As you just said, the main leader of the Tang Dynasty this time will be Zhang Zhifang, not Zhang Yunshen or Shi Xiong and others from Liaodong. Everyone knows that Zhang Zhifang is the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu of the Tang Dynasty, not the general of Liaodong. Think about it, the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu personally came forward to lead troops to attack us. What does this mean? It shows that Datang is not making a small fight this time, but spending blood to destroy us. ”

That's right!

That's the root of the problem.

Previously, Datang and Shanxi Wubu were basically petty fights, but this time it was different, people spent blood to eliminate Shanxi Wubu.

"As for what you said about the betrayal of you, there are also reasons, one of which is that over the years, your Yuan Qi Zhebu has not taken into account the feelings of other tribes in the process of strengthening itself, which has laid the foundation for today's failure. This second point I think the Ministry of Ethics was also coerced or tempted by the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Turro would not give up his own people and take refuge in the Tang Dynasty. ”

If you don't have the strength, others won't take you seriously. When the Yuan Qi Zhebu was strong, Curimo still paid attention to what he said, and now there are Mu Dun and seven or eight hundred subordinates left in the Yuan Qi Zhebu, and when people talk about him, there is no need to estimate his feelings.

Say what you should say, blame what should be blamed, and don't care about Mu Dun's feelings at all.

After listening to Curimo's analysis, all the people in the big tent also quieted down, and then someone said: "The king's analysis is very reasonable, there are many reasons why the Yuan Qi Zhebu has today's defeat, in addition to external factors, we should also reflect on our own mistakes." ”

The king is the king, who can not only hold the military and political power of the tribe, but also manipulate the direction of public opinion.

Under the guidance of Kulimo, the ministers of the Ahui Department immediately turned around and began to count Mu Run.

"Yes, the king is right, Mu Dun, you have to reflect on why the Duji Department betrayed our Shanxi Five Divisions and defected to the Tang Dynasty, this is all your fault."

"Mu Dun, this matter really can't be complained about by the people's department, you don't know how arrogant you were when your Yuan Qi Zhebu was strong, and today's result is also caused by your arrogance."

。。。。。。

Originally, he thought that he could reverse the direction of public opinion, but he was originally here to sow discord and let the guns of the Shanxi army be aimed at the Duji Department, who thought that it turned out to be a criticism meeting against himself.

Mu Dun's face turned from white to red, and from red to white, embarrassed.
