About seven kilometers west of the West Sea (now Qinghai Lake), there is a huge city - Fu Qi City, which is the capital of the Tuyuhun people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because the Tuyuhun people are not good at building cities, although the Tuyuhun people call Fuqi City the city of kings, the scale of Fuqi City is not large. Its city wall is only two zhang high, and it cannot be compared with the city of five or six zhang in the Central Plains.

Although the scale of Fu Qi City is not large, the strength of the Tuyuhun tribe living in the city should not be underestimated.

Tuyuhun Yuan is a Xianbei tribe living between the white mountains and black waters, and after thousands of miles of trek and migration, they settled on the Xihai Plateau.

After nearly ten years of hard work by Murong Tuyuhun and Tuyan father and son, the Tuyuhun tribe is also the leading Hu tribe in the northwest. It is located near Xihai Lake, and the entire tribe has nearly 300,000 people, with 60,000 cavalry, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of Qiang affiliated tribes.

In addition, the Tuyuhun tribe also enjoys the prosperity of the southern Silk Road, every year the Tuyuhun people will pass through the south bank or north bank of Xihai Lake, pass through the Delingha, Da Chaidan and Xiao Chaidan of Qaidam, go out of the Jinshan Pass, arrive at Dunhuang, merge into the Hexi Corridor, and then go to the Western Regions.

This trade route brought endless wealth to the Tuyuhun tribe and provided a powerful boost for Tuyuhun to subdue the surrounding Qiang tribes.

On this day, a special guest came to Fu Qi City, and this person was the original Liangzhou Zuo Sima Yinyuan. At the beginning, Yin Yuan was bewitched by Suo Fu and wanted to divide Dunhuang to protect himself, but as soon as he returned to Dunhuang, he was reprimanded by his brother Yin Tang, who scolded him for being short-sighted and wanted to plunge the Yin clan into a place of no return.

The Yin clan was forced to stand on the opposite side of Liaodong due to Yin Yuan's mistake, but now it is too late for Yin to regret it, so he can only act first for the time being. In order to ensure that Dunhuang is not lost, Yin Tang began to recruit Dunhuang young men into the army in the name of Dunhuang Taishou, and at the same time actively looked for foreign aid.

The Tuyuhun tribe near the West Sea and the Hexi Xianbei in the northwest of Dunhuang were all foreign aid that Yin Tan was trying to strive for, so he sent Yin Yuan to Fuqi City to meet Tuyan on the one hand, and sent Suo Fu north to form an alliance with Hexi Xianbei on the other hand.

When Yin Yuan arrived at Fu Qi City, it was drizzling in the sky, looking far away in the rain and fog, Fu Qi City, which was lying quietly in front of it, was like a seal of the Tuyuhun Kingdom on the grassland around the lake in the West Sea, which made people yearn for it leisurely.

"Hahaha, welcome Yin Sima to my royal city as a guest!"

For the arrival of Yin Yuan, Tuyan was very happy, and now the Liaodong army was pressing forward step by step, first appeasing a large number of Qiang people to weaken the development potential of Tuyuhun, and now he wanted to occupy Liangzhou completely, trying to trap Tuyuhun on the plateau and fend for himself.

"The leader of Tuyan is polite, and the main thing I came down today is to discuss the alliance."

"Huh? Ally? Tuyan obviously didn't expect Yin Yuan to find out his intention at the beginning, and he was a little at a loss.

"That's right, at present, the Liaodong Army greatly threatens the interests of both you and me, and in the face of a strong enemy, of course you and I must form an alliance to jointly resist the threat of Liaodong."

Regarding the alliance with the Hexi family, Tuyan did not take the liberty of agreeing, but touched his chin and carefully weighed the pros and cons. For the threat from Liaodong, Tuyan empathizes.

Tuyan dared to refuse Liaodong's appeasement all the time, relying on the geography of the plateau. He knows very well the strength of the plateau climate, don't look at the Liaodong Army is invincible in the Central Plains, but once the other party goes to the plateau, it will become a soft-footed shrimp and be vulnerable.

But recently, Tuyan learned from some secret sources that Liaodong has been secretly training a cavalry team that can fight on the plateau, and its target is self-explanatory.

At present, the Hexi family took the initiative to come to form an alliance, which can be said to solve Tuyan's urgent need. However, Tuyan was ambitious and was not satisfied with being trapped on the West Sea Plateau, and he planned to use this opportunity to make huge profits for the tribe.

"Yin Sima, there is no problem with forming an alliance with you to resist Liaodong, but there is still a small request."

"Oh? I don't know what the requirements are? But it doesn't hurt to speak, listen to your ears in the next place. ”

"If you and other families dare to risk the condemnation of the world to fight against Liaodong, they are nothing more than unwilling to hand over the trade rights in their hands. And the reason why I agreed to form an alliance with you is naturally to ensure that the interests of the tribe are not infringed upon. Therefore, after the deed, Tuyuhun will occupy one-third of the profits of the silk trade. ”

"Humph! Leader Tuyan, aren't you afraid that your appetite will be too big and your stomach will be broken? ”

Yin Yuan was furious when he saw Tuyan Lion's big mouth, but he knew very well how big a third of the profit was, how could he be willing to give it to Tuyuhun?

Tuyan took a moment to say for a while: "Hehe, I think Yin Sima made a mistake, right now you have a request for this leader, whether you agree or not only need a word, as for whether the Tuyuhun tribe is broken, then you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Yin Sima, it's not nice to say. As long as this leader lives on this plateau, no matter how strong Liaodong is, what can he do to me? ”

"You!" Yin Yuan knew that Tuyan was taking advantage of the fire to rob, but he had no countermeasures. As Tuyan said, at present, the Hexi family has a great demand for Tuyuhun, and he has no choice but to agree to the other party's conditions.

While Yin Yuan was busy dealing with Tuyan, Suo Fu was also trying his best to win over the Xianbei Yiyun and other tribes in Hexi that were distributed north of Dunhuang.

Hexi Xianbei is a Xianbei tribal alliance that appeared in the Hexi Corridor in the third century AD, and the bald department is its core, in addition to Yifu, folding, wheat field, stacked digging, car cover, and Yiyun Zhubu.

Hexi Xianbei used to be a very powerful force in the northwest, and most of its tribes were distributed in the extremely nearby areas of Liangzhou. In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the leader of the Xianbei Bald Hair Department in Hexi raised an army to rebel, and successively defeated three Jin Liangzhou Assassins, once captured most of Liangzhou, and was later killed by Ma Long, which made the Bald Department collapse.

After the bald tree died, other tribes of Xianbei in Hexi were distributed in the northwest of Liangzhou to recuperate. However, Hexi Xianbei never gave up his attempt to invade the Hexi Corridor, and later, when the tribe's strength was restored, the former Bald Tree Functional Department General Ruo Luo Neng raised troops to rebel again.

However, the rebellion quickly disappeared under the blows of Zhang Liang and Song Pei, and even Ruo Luo Banong died.

After that, the Xianbei tribes of Hexi had to settle in the depths of the desert north of Dunhuang, and this time Suofu went north in the hope of persuading the Xianbei tribes of Hexi to go south.

Hexi Xianbei is really better than Tuguhun, and with Suo Fu's three-inch incorruptible tongue, Xianbei people easily agreed to form an alliance.

……

"Hahaha, welcome to Liangzhou, I have been asking the lord for reinforcements before, but I didn't expect the lord to send you. Zhengchang came in time to come, I was worried about the situation in Liangzhou, and I was completely relieved now. ”

Under Guzang City, Beigong Chun affectionately took Liu Yao's arm and warmly welcomed him into the city. It can be said that the arrival of Liu Yaobu completely changed the unfavorable situation of the Liaodong Army in Liangzhou, which greatly increased Beigong Chun's confidence, and he was eager to immediately move westward.

"What? Could it be that there are new changes in the war in Liangzhou? Liu Yao said with a face full of surprise.

"Well, Zhengchang doesn't know, since the Hexi family played an anti-flag in Dunhuang, almost all the counties west of Wuwei have sided with the family, and at present, Liaodong can only control the two counties of Wuwei and Xiping."

"If it's just a rebellion by the family, it's not a big deal, we just need to think about it slowly, and sooner or later there will be a day when the rebellion will be put down. However, he never expected that the Hexi family would dare to collude with Hu Lu. At present, Tuyuhun and Hexi Xianbei have joined the rebel alliance one after another, and the rebel family has also taken the opportunity to play the banner of Liangzhou being governed by the people of Liangzhou, which has attracted the attention of countless people for a while. ”

Hearing this, a terrifying fierce light shot out of Liu Yao's eyes, and he hated and said, "Hmph! They're looking for death! ”

"Dominating Hexi for a hundred years has made the Hexi family have no more children, in order to keep the power and interests in their hands, what is the collusion with Hulu? The Pontus had not taken the initiative to attack because of the enemy's strength and fears of instability in the rear, but now that reinforcements have arrived, we need to plan carefully. ”

"Oh? I don't know what kind of strategy General Beigong has to break the enemy? ”

"I plan to attack Zhangye, Zhangye is an important town in the west of the river, once the rear of Dunhuang is lost, the barrier will be lost. Therefore, in any case, the Hexi family will definitely not allow the Liaodong army to capture Zhangye, and it will definitely gather heavy troops to defend it. Liaodong used the attack on Zhangye as a bait to attract the enemy's main force to appear, as long as the enemy's main force could be completely annihilated in Zhangye, Dunhuang would surrender without a fight.
