Chapter 176: The Battle of Wuwei (2)

"Staff Officer Zhuang rest assured, after I send the people to Zhangye County safely, I will definitely come back with the army to rescue you, although I have not attended our military school, but I also know that our Western Regions Army never gives up any of our comrades." Li Wen said with an oath.

Zhuang Fudi nodded at Li Wen with a smile and said, "With Lord Li's words, even if I Zhuang dies on the battlefield, it is worth it." ”

Li Wen was about to say a few more polite words to Zhuang Fudi, but a person dressed in black clothes and covered with black gauze walked in directly, the man came in and handed his waist card to Zhuang Fudi without saying a word, and then gave Zhuang Fudi an asphalt-sealed bamboo tube, and then hugged his fist at Li Wen and Zhuang Fudi in the house, turned around and left.

Zhuang Fudi looked at the bamboo tube in his hand and there was indeed no trace of it being opened, then he raised his head and saw Li Wen with a confused face, and then explained: "This is an intelligence department used by the military lord in our army to directly get in touch with the general manager, only externally, not internally. ”

After Li Wen heard Zhuang Fudi's voice, he came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Zhuang Fudi and said: "Let Staff Officer Zhuang smile, I usually can't contact these people, so I was stunned for the first time." ”

Zhuang Fudi also smiled at Li Wen, then sat aside, carefully opened the bamboo tube with the candle next to him, took out the letter inside, and then read the information on it, he couldn't help but laugh with his palms, and for a while the whole room was Zhuang Fudi's laughter, which also attracted Li Wen, who was hiding aside to avoid suspicion, couldn't help but look at him sideways.

Zhuang Fudi looked at Li Wen, and then realized that he was a little out of shape, and said: "Let Master Li laugh, I have been in the army for a long time in front of a group of rough men, and I am a little negligent in etiquette. ”

Li Wen waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, Staff Officer Zhuang is really temperamental." But Li is really curious about what kind of news can make Counselor Zhuang's class happy? ”

Zhuang Fudi lit the information in his hand on the candle next to him, and then threw it aside in the dry pen wash, and said to Li Wen: "Sure enough, an unexpected situation has occurred. ”

"Accidents?" Li Wen frowned and asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm curious why the Eastern Turks are marching so slowly. At first, I thought that these Eastern Turks had learned wisely and knew how to march and fight cautiously. But now it does not seem to be the case, and on the contrary, these Eastern Turks not only do not want to fight cautiously, but also want to end the war as much as possible, and as losers. Zhuang Fudi said incoherently.

"Loser?" Li Wen said curiously.

"Yes, loser. Our intelligence officers came back with information that there was civil strife in the Eastern Turkic army. Zhuang Fudi said.

"But the news that came back earlier said that the Eastern Turkic army this time was led by Shibi Khan himself, if it is said that the civil strife is enough to delay the speed of the march, it will definitely involve the Khan's throne, can it be said that someone wants to seize power?" Li Wen said solemnly.

"Exactly, some of the information sent by the governor Tuo Junxiao about the Turks on the opposite side mentioned that there are people with bad intentions among the Eastern Turks on the other side, and it seems that there are some bad thoughts about the Eastern Turk Khan, that is, the Shibi Khan, and recently the Shibi Khan seems to be a little ill, often vomiting blood, and sometimes it is black blood, it is estimated that someone has attacked the Shibi Khan, which should be a slow medicine." Zhuang Fudi said.

"Slow medicine? Shibi Khan? So who is going to attack Shibi Khan? Levine asked.

"yes, who would do anything to Shibi Khan?" After Li Wenyuan from Dunhuang County repeated Qiu Niang's question with a smile, he continued:

"There are a lot of people who followed Shibi Khan to the south this time, but there are not many people who are the core of the Eastern Turks, none other than Shibi Khan's confidant Tuoba Shishu, and his younger brother Ashina Gulfushe, and the rest are all tribal leaders who support the rule of the Ashina family."

"Ashina Gulphosheth? He was the only legitimate heir after the death of Shibi Khan, so how could Shibi Khan take him south? If he has a different heart, it will be very dangerous. Qiu Niang exclaimed.

"That's true, but the Eastern Turks have always been the supremacy of strength, at this time, although Shibi Khan has been defeated in successive battles, but after all, he has been accumulating prestige on the steppe for a long time, so it is not impossible to do something at this time, it is estimated that he feels that he can rely on his prestige to suppress the dissent of Willifos." Li Wenyuan didn't dare to be very sure, but said ambiguously.

But then Li Wenyuan seemed to remember something, and then said: "However, this time Shibi Khan should be a big person, after all, Tuoba Shishu is not Shi Shu Huxi, and he is not very loyal to Shibi Khan." And on the contrary, Tuoba Shishu has great ambitions, and I guess he should be the one who really attacked Shibi Khan. ”

"But the problem is that even if Tuoba Shishu succeeds in poisoning Shibi Khan, the last person to ascend to the throne will be Lifushe, and he will not be the direct beneficiary, so what good will it do him to take such a risk to defile himself against his master?" Qiu Niang said curiously.

"So this time the poisoning of Shibi Khan should not be done by Tuoba Shishu alone, there should be an accomplice." Li Wenyuan frowned and said.

"You mean Livershed?" Qiu Niang's eyes lit up and said.

"Well, it's probably him, he's not too young, he should be waiting impatiently to inherit the throne." Li Wenyuan nodded and said.

"So the ultimate mastermind behind it is Livershit?" Qiu Niang said.

"Probably not, even if he did it, he should have done it in the tooth tent on the grassland, not in this environment where enemies are on all sides. The final mastermind behind the scenes should still be Tuoba Shishu. Li Wenyuan lowered his head and thought for a while and said.

"Then Tuoba Shishu himself is of Hu blood in the Western Regions, and he grew up in a place inhabited by the Han people since he was a child, if he didn't rely on the support of Shibi Khan, he would not have been reused by the Turks at all, so what was the use of him poisoning Shibi Khan?" Qiu Niang herself is dealing with intelligence, if it is analyzed according to the intelligence, Qiu Niang can naturally draw the correct conclusion accurately, but at this time, the information about the Eastern Turks is too little, and now what is presented to Li Wenyuan is already the limit, and there is no more.

"Qiu Niang, have you heard the story of Emperor Er?"
