At this time, Fei Tinghan, the leader of the Fei Ting tribe, said: "Everyone, our department suffered heavy losses in the battle in the past two days, and our department will not participate in the march to Bailan this time, and our department will return to the territory tomorrow!" ”

Immediately, someone said loudly: "Patriarch Feiting, you just left?" Do you not even want the cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver, treasures, grain, and grass, weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, and land that you have taken? ”

Fei Tinghan thought that once he killed Mu Liyan, these people would definitely go crazy to snatch Mu Liyan's head, and there would be a river of blood at that time, his Fei Ting's department was too weak, and he would definitely not be able to compete with other big tribes, and he was afraid that he would become the target of others first.

He gritted his teeth and said, "These······ I don't want to listen to the department, you can divide it! ”

Tuoba Siqi spoke: "Patriarch Feiting, it's not appropriate for you to leave like this, right?" How do we know that you don't want to use us to take the lead in attacking the Tuyuhun people, and then you will sit in the back and reap the benefits of the fishermen? ”

Fei Tinghan immediately shouted: "Tuoba Patriarch, it's unreasonable for you to say this, I will bring my people back to the territory, what does it matter to you?" How can I be a threat to you if I am weak and weak? ”

Tuoba Siqi squinted his eyes and got up and walked in front of Fei Tinghan, so frightened that Fei Tinghan took two steps back: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do? I'd like to ask what you want to do? Before we sent our troops, we had sworn that we would advance and retreat together, and never abandon our allies and escape first, and now you suddenly said that you don't want to fight, and you want to take people back to the territory, what are you not betraying us all? ”

Someone next to him immediately expressed support: "Yes, I think Patriarch Tuoba is right, Fei Tinghan, it's not right for you to do this, do you want to break the covenant?" ”

Fei Tinghan only realized at this time that he couldn't get out of the way, and was tied to this carriage, but he was afraid that this matter would not stop without a final result!

There are no ambitious people in this world can not say no, but there are absolutely very few, as the patriarch of a tribe, the ambition in the heart must be to develop and expand the tribe, the biggest ambition in their hearts is to become outside the party, but after so many years, a balance has been formed between the various ministries of the party, and no one can easily break this balance, but the intervention of the Qianguo has broken this balance, so that the careerists among these leaders see the opportunity to unify the party departments.

Now that this opportunity has appeared, no leader with a little ambition wants to give up, and who can know who is the real king until the end? Even if it is the weakest tribe, as long as it is planned properly, it is not impossible to become the final winner, as long as it can send Mu Liyan's head to the capital of Qianguo, it can get the support of Qianguo, and becoming the king of the party is just around the corner!

"Everyone, everyone!" A voice rang out in the lobby.

The leaders saw that it was Tuoba Siqi, the leader of the largest tribe in the party, and saw him say: "There are only 13,000 people left in our coalition army now, and according to the information we have received, there are still nearly 30,000 horses in Muliyan. ”

The leaders thought about it, there are indeed some insufficient troops, although Fu Qi City is the capital of Tuyuhun, but Bailan is the nest of the Tuyuhun people, Mu Liyan has already sent most of the Tuyuhun people to Bailan, how can they make up a lot of people, the difference in strength is too big!

"Agreed!"

"I agree!"

Some people were a little hesitant, but they saw that everyone else raised their hands in agreement, and they didn't want to be isolated, so they had to raise their hands in agreement.

At the end of the meeting, the chiefs of each ministry sent messengers back to their territories to gather their troops.

Ten days later, the soldiers and horses gathered by the various departments arrived in Shudun City one after another, and joined the remaining 13,000 men and horses in front, a total of more than 30,000 cavalry, which was already the largest force that all the tribes of the party could gather, and the newly recruited soldiers and horses even included teenagers under the age of fifteen and men over the age of fifty.

On April 20, 30,000 people and horses of the party set off from Shudun City to Bailan.

Fu Qi City, Tuyuhun Palace.

Wei Su and Chang Kun knelt facing each other, and behind them stood more than a dozen generals under their command, and Li Ji sat at the top.

Li Ji picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl of the three people, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the envoy, the official wouldn't be able to drink this imperial wine, the wine is good wine, but it's too strong, I'm a small drinker, I'll drink a small bowl, two generals, please feel free!" ”

After speaking, Li Ji picked up the wine bowl and took a small sip, his expression was almost like he was going to die.

Wei Jun and Chang Kun each took the wine bowl and drank it all, the knife-like feeling rose in their throats, and the blood in their bodies seemed to speed up the flow rate of the whole body when the bowl of wine went down.

"Good wine, comfortable! Sure enough, it is worthy of the wine of the royal gift, this is the wine for real men, Lord Li, you can't do it, you, you have to practice again, hahaha······" Chang Kun laughed after drinking.

Li Ji said with a smile: "The officials are a lot older, and they can't practice!" Oh, this plateau is indeed different from the Central Plains, when I first came, I was out of breath, dizzy and nauseous for several days, vomiting and diarrhea, I almost gave this old life here, the two generals are in good health, they should be fine, right? ”

Wei Jun's face was a little embarrassed, "I, like Lord Li, almost lost this life!" ”

Li Ji was shocked: "I heard that General Wei has unstoppable bravery, and his body should be very strong, so he can't ······ it."

Wei Lian was depressed: "I don't know!" ”

After speaking, Wei said to Li Ji: "Speaking of which, this time thanks to Lord Li for coming up with such a plan, using Tuyuhun's territory and the promise of the king to drive the party to fight with the Tuyuhun people, otherwise in the current situation of the soldiers, we will not have the ability to fight with the Tuyuhun people at all!" ”

Ever since the Qianjun army captured Longqi City and Xiping one after another, some people in the army have suffered from altitude sickness, and although they have made corresponding preparations and training before setting off, they are still not spared.

After arriving at Fuqi City, 40 percent of the cadres and horses completely lost their combat effectiveness, and 30 percent of their combat effectiveness was reduced by at least half, and the rest of the people were more or less affected.

Seeing that this matter was getting more and more serious, Wei Xuan, Chang Kun and Li Ji and others were worried that the Tuyuhun people would kill them after getting the news, so Li Ji came up with such a plan to drive the party members to fight the Tuyuhun people.

Chang Kun said worriedly: "I'm a little worried now, if a certain Dangxiang tribe really cuts off Mu Liyan's head and sends it to the capital, what will we do?" We did this by ourselves, but we didn't report it to the court and ask for permission, this is an unauthorized act, once the emperor is angry, I am afraid that none of us will be able to save our heads! ”

Wei looked at Li Ji and said, "I'm also worried!" ”

Li Ji said with a smile: "The two generals don't have to worry, this won't happen at all, not to mention whether the party members can defeat Mu Liyan, even if they can defeat Mu Liyan and cut off his head, I'm afraid that there are not many party members left, and there will be a lot of internal strife between them in order to compete for Mu Liyan's head, and their strength will be greatly damaged, do you think how much strength can the final victor have left?" By that time, wouldn't the soldiers and horses under the command of the two generals have not yet recovered? ”

The two nodded, and the lieutenant said to Chang Kun: "General Chang, weren't you ordered to recruit 20,000 Qiang, Di, Qian, and Han people in the Qinzhou area?" It is said that these people have been walking in the plateau area for a long time and will not suffer from altitude sickness like our soldiers, when will they arrive here? ”

Chang Kun said: "These soldiers still have two months to complete their training, but after our soldiers have altitude sickness, I have already ordered the requisition of 20,000 horses, which should arrive within half a month!" ”

Li Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, the official will be relieved!" However, we still have to send elite sentry cavalry to find out the state of the battle between the Dangxiang and the Tuyuhun people, and we must be able to keep abreast of their progress at all times! ”

Wei Wei said: "I will arrange this matter, in the past two years, I have also trained some people in and out of the plateau, although the number is not enough, but it is more than enough to be a sentry in the plateau area!" ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to General Wei!"

Wei asked his family: "Lord Li, what if the party members are not fooled?" ”

"Not fooled? No way! Li Ji shook his head as he spoke, "The party members will be like moths to the fire!" ”

······

The distance from Shudun City to Bailan is not very far, but the road is difficult to walk along the way, the way is very cold, the mountains are windy, often flying sand and gravel, only when you reach the vicinity of Bailan do you feel that the temperature is getting warmer.

The party members set out from Shudun City to Bailan for more than half a month, there is a city in Bailan, called Tuyuhun City, this city is built and lived in Tuyuhun, so it is called Tuyuhun City, which is the hometown of Tuyuhun people.

When the army of the party was still more than 30 miles away from Tuyuhun City, the sentry in front came with news that Tuyuhun City was heavily guarded, and the soldiers and armor on the city wall were waiting for it.

After hearing the report, the leaders of the party discussed and discussed for a while, and Tuoba Siqi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we must learn the lesson of the last time, although our sons are brave, but the march for so many days is already very tiring, we can't rush to the city of Tuyuhun City, lest we be caught off guard by them again!" ”

There were other clan leaders next to him who said: "I think the Tuoba leader has a point, we should camp on the spot so that the sons and daughters can rest well, eat and drink enough, and let them recuperate enough energy to attack Tuyuhun City!" ”

"Yes!"

"Agreed!"

So the party members camped on the spot.

For two days in a row, the party members did not make any moves, and only rested in the camp.

On the third day, the soldiers of the party had recovered and marched towards the city of Tuyuhun in full gear, and arrived at the city two hours later.

Under the command of the leaders of the various departments, the party members began to attack the city of Tuyuhun, which was not very tall.

The Tuyuhun people were not good at defending the city, and the city wall was not very tall, so the party members climbed the city wall with a ladder made of wood, and attacked the city wall in only one morning.

The two sides then engaged in fierce battles and battles on the city walls, and the city walls were soon filled with corpses, and the number of dead and wounded on both sides reached more than 3,000 in just one day.
