Zhangye, since the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Hussar General Huo Qubing defeated the Huns, from the Huns after seizing the land of Hexi began to set up a county, also located at the foot of Qilian Mountain, guarding the throat of the Hexi Corridor.

The capital of the Northern Liang Kingdom is in the Jiankang City of Zhangye, close to the Jiankang County of the Western Liang Kingdom, and the entire Jiankang City is covered with snow everywhere, and the heavy snow has fallen after the winter.

The Fuqu tribe where the king of Beiliang was located was located in Zhangye, and the Fuqu tribe was the leader of the Lushuihu tribe, a branch of the Huns.

Since the defeat of the former Qin Fujian's troops in Weishui, Lu Guang, a general of the Xiaocai and captain of the Western Regions, who was ordered to expedition to the Western Regions, simply established himself as the king and established Houliang, whose territory encompassed most of the west of the Hexi Corridor. The Fuqu Ministry also took refuge in Lü Guang from then on, and later Lü Guang killed Fuqu Mengxun's uncle Fuqu Luo Qiu, Fuqu Mengxun rebelled out of Houliang, and his cousin Fuqu Nancheng supported Jiankang County Shouduanye as the king and established the Northern Liang Kingdom.

In this way, Duan Ye, a Jingzhao man in Guanzhong, as the Jiankang Taishou of Houliang, was alone and was proclaimed as the king.

But a puppet is a puppet, although Duan Ye is full of sage books, but he is indecisive and has no foundation, Fuqu Mengxun designed Duan Ye to force his cousin Fuqu Nancheng to death, and then beheaded Duan Ye in the name of revenge.

Since then, Fuqu Mengxun has established himself as the Duke of Zhangye, and the capital is Zhangye to build Kangcheng. It has jurisdiction over several counties such as Zhangye, Linsong, Qilian, Xi'an and Xijun.

At the same time, most of the Western Regions, which originally belonged to Beiliang, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Xihai counties, were occupied by Li Wei, and the two countries never stopped fighting each other over the years.

Beiliang Capital City is much more magnificent than Jiuquan City, when Fuqu Mengxun attacked Jiuquan Taishou Wang De, Wang De was defeated and fled when a fire burned most of Jiuquan City.

At this moment, above the Beiliang court, the king of Beiliang, Fuqu Mengxun, was convening the ministers to discuss the matter.

"King Qiyu, now that my Daliang has gathered more than 60,000 soldiers and horses to enter Lejuan, I can kill Tang Yao Lao'er at any time, please give the king an order!" A man in armor and loose hair in the court said loudly.

"Huh. A century-old general is not in a hurry, this king has his own plan! Frustrated Munson sat on the throne and said with a smile.

The man in the court is the general of the Northern Liang Kingdom, who has been confronting Tang Yao, the general of the Western Expedition of the Northern Liang Kingdom, for many years.

"The king, General Fuqu Yihe has been killed in battle for several months, how can the king~" Fuqu Bainian looked at Fuqu Mengxun and said with an aggrieved face.

"Presumptuous! General Fuqu, as a courtier of Da Liang, how dare you be so disrespectful to the king. An elegant old minister in a purple robe and a long beard in the court came out and reprimanded.

"Fang Sundial, you~" Frustrated Qu Bainian pointed to the old minister named Fang Sundial, and his face was flushed with anger.

This person's name is Fang Sundial, the official residence is Zuo Changshi, and Beiliang Duanye has been following Fuqu Mengxun when he was in power, and he is deeply valued by Fuqu Mengxun.

"That's it! All right! Two Aiqing, don't quarrel. The court is so indecent, what kind of system is it? Frustrated Qu Mengxun saw that Frustrated Qu Nian and Xu Xian wanted to quarrel, so he waved his hand to stop.

Seeing that the frustrated Qu Mengxun on the throne was displeased, the two of them saluted the frustrated Qu Mengxun and stood aside, and the court suddenly fell silent.

"Heping Hou, you just came back from the Rouran Royal Court, let's talk about it! Has this mission to Mobei been smooth? Frustrated Meng Xun glanced at the middle-aged man sitting under his head and said lightly.

"The king, the minister's envoy Rouran Wang Court has said that Shelun Khan, agreed to the fifteenth of the next month, together with the army to attack Xiliang, this is Shelun Khan to the king's letter of alliance, when I Da Liang to capture Jiankang to kill Jiuquan, contain the Xiliang troops, Shelun Khan sent his brother Hu Lu to lead 5,000 troops to capture Xihai County, and then live south of Yanze to my Da Liang." After the middle-aged man bowed to Fuqu Mengxun, he handed the letter of alliance in his hand to the attendant on the side.

This middle-aged man is Fuqu Mengxun's cousin Fuqu Funu, who was named the Marquis of Peace and the General of Zhenguo, and has just returned from the royal court of Rouran.

"Haha! God help me! This battle must be decided in one fell swoop! Frustrated, Meng Xun looked at the book in his hand and laughed.

"Congratulations to the King!" The courtiers bowed down and said.

"Where is General Jianzhong?" Frustrated Meng Xun raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"The last general will be frustrated to meet the king!" Behind the frustrated Funu stood a strong man in black armor, with a black beard on his face, and his long hair was scattered behind him.

"This king has ordered you to be the governor of Pingxi, this time to attack Xiliang, all the soldiers and horses will be under your control, and Tang Yao's Xiliang army must be defeated." Frustrated Meng Xun looked at the frustrated Qu in front of him and said loudly.

"The last will obey! Thank you, King! Frustrated, he bowed down and prayed.

"A hundred years of frustration, you led your troops to General Jianzhong's dispatch, there must be no mistake." Fuqu Mengxun ordered to Fuqu Bainian.

"The king, the last general will obey the order, this time he will definitely capture Tang Yao Lao'er alive to repay the king's kindness!" Fuqu 100 years to Fuqu Mengxun saluted.

"Auxiliary General Zang Mozi, you lead three thousand elite cavalry, kill when the Rouran people fight with the Northern Army of Xiliang Town, and be sure to capture Li Yan, the deputy general of the Northern Army of Zhenzhen. This king will dig out his heart and liver with his own hands to pay tribute to the Boxer general. Frustrated Meng Xun said through gritted teeth.

"The king can rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the king's high hopes." A man in thick armor knelt on one knee in the court, with a long scar on his face and a look of anger.

"That's it! That's all for today! The generals went back and prepared for their lives. Frustrated Meng Xun stood up and said to the ministers.

After the ministers dispersed, a beautiful and bewitching woman with a graceful figure and a long pink dress walked out from behind the meeting hall, and slowly walked to Fuqu Mengxun's side and lay on Fuqu Mengxun's body.

"Your Majesty, you said you wanted to avenge my father, but your words don't count, it's been a few months. Woo~" The bewitching woman said coquettishly, making a crying appearance as she spoke.

"Alas, this king's careful liver, don't cry, this king has already ordered to capture Li Yan, the thief of Xiliang, and dig out his heart and liver with his own hands to pay tribute to the spirit of the concubine's father in the sky." Frustrated Meng Xun held the bewitching woman in his arms, and his hands swam around.

"Oh Wang, is it true? Yikes! King, you're so bad~"

"Concubine Ai, you are so beautiful today~" Frustrated Qu Mengxun got up, and with a shock of the tiger's body, he hugged the woman and walked towards the back of the meeting hall.

In Xihai City, the cold wind is howling, the city is covered with snow inside and outside, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.

In the large camp outside Xihai City, Lei Ming was training the cavalry behind him, and the infantry army of the Zhenbei Army, which was also led by Iron Hammer, was drilling.

In Xihai City, Li Yan has not received good news from Longshoujian in the past few days, and he is inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.

In the past few days, Zhang Jing frequently invited himself to go to the meeting, because the soldiers and horses of Beiliang had launched several small-scale attacks, although Tang Yao, the general of Zhengdong, had thwarted the attacks of the Huns several times, but also lost a lot of sergeants.

Coming out of the General's Mansion, Li Yan walked on the streets of Xihai City with the Absolute Shadow, preoccupied. At present, the armor casting of Longshoujian is not going smoothly, and the output is extremely low. So far, smelting raw iron is only a few thousand catties, and He Laosan's steelmaking method has not yet been figured out.

It snowed heavily overnight, and the snow on the streets of Xihai City was piled up deeply, and there were some messy footprints on the ground.

Suddenly, Li Yan's eyes lit up, and the wine shop on the side exuded a strong aroma of wine.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper stepped forward and asked earnestly.

"Feed my horses and boil the jug of hot wine." Li Yan handed over the shadow in his hand to the shopkeeper and entered the wine shop.

The wine shop was full of people, and Li Yan could only gather at a table with people, and after a while, the shopkeeper brought a pot of hot wine.

After a glass of wine, Li Yan felt particularly comfortable in his heart, and before he knew it, the wine in the pot had bottomed out.

"Little Er, another pot of hot wine." Li Yan put down the wine jug in his hand and said loudly.

The whole wine shop was in an uproar, and everyone drank up, and the sound of laughter was heard from time to time.

Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head, and looked up to see a few Hu businessmen next door chattering, and the people around him were embarrassed and looked incredulous.

"Big brother, what are they talking about?" Li Yan asked the man beside him with a puzzled expression.

"Little brother, these Hu people said that some time ago, they saw the Hun envoy to Rouran in the court of Rouran, and they brought fifty boxes of treasures. Cut. Fifty boxes are still there. The man in front of him said with a look of disdain.

"Oh. So that's it, come on, come on, drink! Li Yan poured a full glass of hot wine and drank it all.

Li Yan returned to the camp, still thinking about the Huns' envoy to the Rouran royal court, but he didn't feel that there was any problem.

The Xiongnu and Rouran formed an alliance against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Li Yan knew that Northern Liang and Rouran both bordered the Northern Wei Dynasty. But over the years, the Huns have mainly focused on attacking Xiliang, and the Rouran people can really fight on a par with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Li Yan sat in the tent and didn't come up with anything for a long time.

After a while, a sergeant entered the tent with a baggage.

When Li Yan opened it, he found that it was the cotton clothes that Linghu brought to him, as well as a letter.

After Li Yan finished reading it, he sighed deeply. Linghu was very worried about himself, so he had to be careful, and he had to add clothes when it was cold.

It's been half a year since he left Jiuquan City, and he can't go back to visit his mother because of his military affairs, and Li Yan is also full of guilt in his heart.

Two days later, Li Yan came to the valley near Longshou Stream, where Han Qian was training his Blood Wolf Guard, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer.

The blood wolf guards on the snow are all practicing martial arts with high morale.

"Childe, you're looking for me." Han Qian stepped forward and bowed and said.

"Oh, Brother Han, you're here, how are you training?" Li Yan looked back and asked.

"These people are very good at training, and they have made a lot of progress." Han Qian looked at the Blood Wolf Guard on the snow and smiled.

"Good! Brother Han, you have made a lot of contributions. I hope to become an army as soon as possible, I will be of great use. Li Yan looked at the bloody wolf guard with a murderous sound and said softly.

"Don't worry, Childe, Han Qian will definitely train them fiercely and share Childe's worries as soon as possible." Han Qian looked at Li Yan and frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
