Chapter 792: The Bait of the Tuyuhun People
Zhao Junsheng was quite dissatisfied with Li Ji and others fraudulently using his name to promise the party members, although Li Ji, Wei Sui, Chang Kun and others drove the party members to fight the Tuguhun people in order to resolve the crisis of the army, but they did not report this matter, which made Zhao Junsheng angry.
How to deal with them made Zhao Junsheng difficult, now the war is not over, if the temporary change will be unfavorable to the battle situation, Zhao Junsheng thinks about it or temporarily suppresses this matter, and then cares about it after the war is over.
Lu Xuanbo said: "Your Majesty, Li Ji, Wei Su and Chang Kun are not people who don't know the importance of doing things, they will never hide this matter, the minister guesses that they should soon hand over the guilty note, after all, it is still the war, and it is easy to leak the news when the guilty note is sent together······
Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked: "Who else knows about this except you?" ”
"Except for Wei Chen, I know that the black-clothed guard spies who reported the news know."
"Don't make a noise about this for the time being, just treat it as if you don't know!"
"Yes!"
······
Outside Tuyuhun City, the Dangxiang people waited for three days in a row and did not wait for the city to drop Mu Liyan's head, so they could only continue to attack Tuyuhun City.
At first, the intensity of the attack was not very large, and after another three days, the party leaders who stayed in Shudun City sent a messenger to report that 50,000 soldiers and horses had arrived in Shudun City, and this news made the leaders of the party a little uneasy.
Are the cadres worried that they will not be able to capture Tuyuhun City, so they will come to attack Tuyuhun City in person, or will they come to supervise them?
The leaders of the various party departments gathered together to discuss this matter, and the arrival of 50,000 cadres and cavalry brought about a subtle change in the situation.
"Since the Emperor of Qianguo has promised that whoever can cut off Mu Liyan's head will inherit everything from the Tuyuhun people and be crowned the king of the party, why did he send 50,000 cavalry to Shudun City? To be honest, it's not that I'm too careful, I really can't rest assured! ”
The leaders deliberated and decided to halt the siege for the time being.
The leaders each returned to their camps, and as soon as Tuoba Siqi entered the camp tent, Tuoba Yannu came in and reported: "Patriarch, Tuyuhun City secretly sent someone to meet the patriarch!" ”
"What? Someone from within the city came out? Someone sent by Mulliyan? Tuoba Siqi asked in surprise.
"No, it's his nephew Fuyang!"
Tuoba Siqi thought about it for a moment and waved his hand: "Go and let people in!" ”
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for a Tuyuhun man to walk in, "Banu to meet the Tuoba Patriarch!" ”
Tuoba Siqi asked, "What is the matter with Fuyang sending you?" ”
Banu replied: "Now that the city of Tuyuhun is besieged, there is no way to save himself, my master does not want to bury Mu Liyan, my master has heard of the prestige of the patriarch for a long time, and wants to return to the patriarch, and from now on he will live for the patriarch, and is willing to offer Mu Liyan's head as a gift, but my master is worried that the other clans of the party will not let us go, so he also asked the patriarch to leave with the other party members after getting the head of Mu Liyan, so as to lift the siege of Tuyuhun City, so that the livestock in the city can go out to graze!" If the patriarch has any orders, he only needs to send someone to convey them, and my patriarch will definitely be ordered to serve! ”
Tuoba Siqi pondered in his heart when he heard this, if he could get Tuyuhun's allegiance, this would undoubtedly greatly increase the strength of Tuoba's department, and it would be easy to unify the party, but Tuyuhun's current strength was still too strong, and he was a little worried that he couldn't control it, but this temptation was too great.
How can we get the true allegiance of Fuyang without turning back? Tuoba Siqi fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Tuoba Siqi asked, "What are the chances of Fuyang to take down Mu Liyan's head?" ”
Banu replied, "Most of the leaders have already thrown themselves over to my master, and my master has at least a sixty percent chance of victory!" ”
Tuoba Siqi calculated in his heart, if Fuyang wants to get Mu Liyan's head, he will definitely have to fight with him, and the two sides must be defeated under the fire, even if Fuyang wins and successfully kills Mu Liyan to take his head, I am afraid that it will also be a big loss of strength, and there are not many troops left, so he doesn't seem to have to worry about Fuyang having the strength to betray, but this is not safe.
Tuoba Siqi asked, "How can I believe that Fuyang is truly obedient to me?" And how can he be sure that he will not betray me? ”
Banu said: "My master can secretly send his most beloved son to the patriarch as a proton!" ”
This seemed to be a good idea, Tuoba Siqi thought about it, and said to Banu, "You go down and rest first, and the patriarch will reply to you after thinking about it!" ”
"Yes, Patriarch!"
After Banu was taken away by several party warriors, Tuoba Siqi asked Yan Nu, "What do you think?" ”
Yan Nu thought for a while, and said to Tuoba Siqi: "Patriarch, I think we can accept the surrender of Fuyang, the Tuyuhun people have been frightened by us, otherwise they would not be able to retreat in the city and not go out of the city to fight with us!" Fuyang obviously didn't want to die, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to give Mu Liyan's head! After the patriarch gets the head, we still need to send it to the Qianguo, a lot of things will happen in the middle, the other tribes are afraid that they will not watch us send the head away, I am afraid that they will unite to attack us, at this time the Tuyuhun people can play a role, the patriarch can order Fuyang to lead troops with us to deal with the other tribes! ”
Qianguo threw out a big bait, and now the Tuyuhun people have thrown out the bait of Mu Liyan's head, and the party members have been played around, which is really a great irony!
Tuoba Siqi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to agree to Fuyang.
Banu happened to sneak back to the city with Tuoba Siqi's promise, and Fuyang secretly sent his youngest son to the camp of the Tuoba Department outside the city the next night and handed it over to Tuoba Siqi.
After sending his son away, Fuyang sent people to invite several tribal leaders such as Hu Le, Kucha, Banji, and Bojin to discuss the killing of Mu Liyan.
After several hours of discussion and deliberation, the five finally agreed on a plan, and decided to start it at night.
That night, Mu Liyan and some of his own soldiers were about to return to the palace to rest after inspecting the city defense, and on the way back to the palace, Fuyang, who had already been ambushed on the side of the road, and some soldiers suddenly came out.
Mu Liyan was killed by a surprise, hurriedly resisted, but could not stop Fuyang's generals, and was soon hacked to death by random knives, several Mu Liyan's personal soldiers saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled, Fuyang led the troops to pursue for a while but failed to catch up, so they had to chop off Mu Liyan's head and return.
On the other side, Hu Le, Kucha, Banji, Bojin and other tribal leaders were ready to take their generals to Mu Liyan's descendants, so they could only send Mu Liyan's head and start launching immediately.
Several escaped Mu Liyan's personal soldiers soon found Mu Liyan's general Chi Li, and brought back the news that Mu Li Yan had been killed by Fuyang, Chi Li was furious, and immediately ordered soldiers and horses to kill Fuyang's residence, and Fuyang and Hu Le, Kucha, Banji, Bo Jin and other tribal leaders just led troops to the palace to kill, a large number of soldiers and horses on both sides encountered on the way, and a large-scale fire was launched.
A large number of shouts of killing soon came from within Tuyuhun City, and the entire city was plunged into war.
The chaos and fighting in the city continued throughout the night and did not end until the next morning.
Outside the city, the party barracks.
"This ······ What's going on in town? A party leader stood on the watchtower of the camp and looked in the direction of Tuyuhun City and asked.
Another party leader said: "There may have been a firefight!" Has our plan worked? ”
At this time, Tuoba Siqi said: "Fuyang, the nephew of Muliyan, the king of Tuyuhun, sent someone to me the night before yesterday, saying that he could kill Muliyan and hand over his head, and that he would also submit to him and become my vassal, and I had promised him that as long as he handed over Muliyan's head and returned to obedience, I would protect him!" ”
"What?" The leaders of the various parties all looked at Tuoba Siqi in surprise, and everyone did not expect that Tuoba Siqi had already made contact with the Tuyuhun leader in the city and successfully surrendered the other party.
At this time, the fighting in the city was over, and Fuyang was about to personally take Mu Liyan's head to meet Tuoba Siqi outside the city. ”
"What's the news?"
"Some people in the camp of the Dangxiang people say that the Emperor of Qianguo has issued a decree, and whoever can obtain the head of Mu Liyan and send it to the capital of Qianguo will inherit the land, population, livestock, and so on of our Tuyuhun people, and will be canonized as the king of Dangxiang!"
When Fuyang heard this, his eyes lit up: "I said how could the party members attack us alone, it turned out that the Emperor of Qianguo drew a big pie for them!" It seems that we are fine, if Tuoba Siqi wants to send Mu Liyan's head to Qianguo safely, he needs our help, otherwise all the party ministries will unite to keep him to the scum! ”
Banu asked, "And now?" ”
Fuyang smiled: "I won't go!" Banu, take some men in a wagon with chests of gold, silver, jewelry, and the head of Muliyan to meet Tuoba Siqi, and give him the head, the gold, silver, and the jewelry. If he asks about the situation in the city, he will say that we have fought with Muliyan, and the army has suffered heavy losses, and there are only 20,000 men left, and more than half of them are wounded! ”
"If he asks you why I don't go out of the city to see him, you say that I am injured, and there are still many things in the city waiting for me to deal with, and when I am better and the things in the city are almost dealt with, I will go and see him!"
"The villain got it!" Banu agreed.
It didn't take long for Banu to take some people out of the city with a carriage full of several boxes to see Tuoba Siqi, and when he saw Tuoba Siqi, Tuoba Siqi really asked Fuyang a few questions, and Banu answered him according to Fuyang's explanation, and Tuoba Siqi let go of his doubts.
After Tuoba Siqi accepted Mu Liyan's head and showed it to the leaders of Tuyuhun, the leaders of each tribe looked at Tuoba Siqi differently, and these eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
