Huyanbo and Li Jiyun of Longyou are fighting hard in the village, and Suerman has also stopped in front of Shacheng, Yang Jiye and Cheng Shixiong went to Lingzhou and Xiakou to sit in the town, and the war has not yet spread to Xingzhou, but the war atmosphere here is already very strong.

Every day, countless people poured into the city, including local merchants and gentry, people who fled their homes, and large households who originally settled in other cities, but felt that the local city was not as reliable as Xingzhou, and Xingzhou City was overcrowded for a while.

"I always felt that something wasn't quite right." Li Jitan said worriedly.

Sitting opposite him are Tuoba Cangmu and Li Tianlun, as the core members of the Tuoba family, since the three of them publicly expressed their support for Yang Hao's policy strategy against the Weiwu tribe in the Golden Palace, they were regarded by many Tuoba clan people as a thorn in the flesh, under their exclusion, these three people are getting closer and closer, forming a small group of their own, often gathering together, drinking and drinking to contact feelings, and from time to time they will also discuss some things between the government and the opposition.

Tuoba Cangmu is the oldest, and in the trio, he seems to play the big brother horn sè, he took a sip of wine, glared and said: "What's wrong, don't you talk about it, you have something to say."

Li Ji said: "Since the king's law field supervisor beheaded Han Chan and Tuoba Heshao and forced Li Zhiyi away, the attitude of the leaders of the Tuoba clan towards the king is very different from the past, and they often meet, and they don't know what they are talking about.

Tuoba Cangmu said angrily: "It turns out that you are worried about this.

He stroked his beard and said, "Actually...... As the head of a tribe, I don't want the king to break down the tribes, and in the final analysis, it's my own interests. If you want to say that the ancestral family law is ......, hehe, who cares what it says? With this hereditary system, even if my children and grandchildren are no longer angry, they can steadily become the head of the Cangshi tribe, unless the sky changes and our party and the eight clans re-exist, otherwise they will not be defeated. But if you lose this hereditary system, once your descendants are not angry, you can't enter the court as an official, and you can't support your own family when you retreat, then the decline is inevitable.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, and added, "But...... I could see the king's determination, and I knew that it was unchangeable, and since I could not be an enemy of the king, I had to obey the king's will. What is to come...... Go to the future of his mother, the rì under his nose is not good, who cares about the future? In the future, who will remember my ancestor? They have the ability, they eat fragrant and drink spicy, and if they don't have the ability, they just roll the fucking eggs, and I can't care about it.

Li Jitan smiled and said, "Brother Cangmu can see it, but those leaders may not be able to see it."

Tuoba Cangmu glared and said, "How about not being able to read the text?" Those cowards still dare to rebel

Yes? ”

He didn't say anything, Li Tianlun said with a calm face: "I doubt it...... That's what they mean.

Tuoba Cangmu said in surprise: "What did you say? Where did you see that? ”

Li Tianlun said: "Brother Cangmu, when Li Guangrui was in the past, he fought with the Tubo people, with the Hui people, with the Dangxiang Seven Clan, with Zhi Jixun and Yang Chongxun in the two states of Weifu, and even later fought with our king, there were also times when people were attacked and fell into passivity. ”

Tuoba Cangmu said: "Of course not, what's the matter, is it ......?"

Li Ji said: "Yes, this time, these leaders have invariably chosen this method, and our family members are in an endless stream, and they are entering the city every day.

Tuoba Cangmu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This is also normal, the king beheaded Tuoba Han Chan, and divided the Weiwu tribe, they are dissatisfied, and they can't wait to see the king a joke, this may be pretending to be a rat, lest Suerman and Li Jiyun once they force in, their tribe will bear the brunt, even if they are unwilling, they have to live and die to serve the king." g

Li Jitan sneered: "Brother Cangmu, what you think is too simple, now there are no less than one hundred and fifty tribal leaders in Xingzhou, each of whom has his family members close to the city, family members and subordinates, each family is not less than two hundred people, this force alone, ** up to 20,000 people, plus their family members and guards who originally stayed in Xingzhou, the total strength is about to catch up with the total number of Xingzhou palace guards and city guards, if this force really has the intention to make trouble, what do you think?" ”

Tuoba Cangmu finally felt the danger when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This matter is not good, you should report it to the king immediately."

Li Tianlun spread his hands and said, "How to talk about it?" We are already on the same page with them, and the king is sensitive to this, will he think that we are playing right and wrong, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge? Moreover, if they do not retaliate, we will have no credentials, and even if we tell the king, what can the king do? Could it be that the leaders of the various tribes sent their families to Xingzhou to avoid danger, and the king wanted to find an excuse to cut off their heads? Doesn't that force all the tribes to rebel? ”

Li Jitan glanced at him and said: "Brother Cangmu, the king, I will go to remind you, if the king can be careful, it is best if they don't rebel, the court can't move a finger against them, in front of them, the king is passive." But if the king is prepared, he may not take advantage of it.

However, even if some of these leaders just want to wait and see the wind, if someone really has bad intentions, they will be dragged into the water. What's more, we can't tell who has bad intentions, who is just the grass on the wall, the palace guards, the city guards are limited, and Yang Shangshu of the military department went to Lingzhou in person, this limited force has to defend the city, to defend the palace, to monitor the movements of these leaders, it is no longer enough, how can the safety of our family be safe? The king has an inner city, but what about us? ”

Tuoba Cangmu was stunned: "We? Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "If those leaders really want to rebel, naturally they will not only attack the palace, many ministers in the court will be their targets, and other ministers will not be touched for the time being if there is no big threat, but the three of them, those hated leaders to the core, it is strange if they don't kill all the old and young women and children in their families."

Tuoba Cangmu broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no matter whether they really have objections or not, we have to prepare early, we must not be caught off guard by being killed, following the conversation, Tianlun, we have a lot of clansmen in Xingzhou, we should gather them, hmm...... At present, the population of Xingzhou is increasing, and accommodation and food are all problems, so use this excuse, as the head of a clan, let's take care of our own people, right? Then secretly concentrate on the young and strong in order to contingency.

Li Ji said: "Brother Cangsen, I came to you today, that's exactly what I meant.

Tuoba Cangmu instructed again uneasily: "Well, I owe you a reminder, otherwise someone's steel knife will be on my neck, and I will still be sleeping." Tianlun, you also have to be careful, following the conversation, you have a military position in your body, and you still have a certain number of soldiers and horses in your hands to mobilize, these times rì have to fight jīng gods, our net worth xìng life, but it all falls on you.

Li Jitan nodded solemnly: "Little brother understands."

Li Tianlun said: "With us alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect ourselves

I have to go and say that it's always good for the king to have a little more jǐng jue.

Li Jitan took a deep breath and promised, "I will."

Tuoba Cangmu took a breath and said, "Well, my son Haofeng has a military position

People who are talented, I will also talk to him about this, and let him also go to the king's side to blow the wind. Li Jiyun attracted a group of Tubo people, and Aguli's girl led a group of Hui people to make trouble, damn it, why did it get to this point today!

Yang Hao said angrily: "Well, Feiyu Suifeng has already reported the news, and this king is sending people to monitor them, hum!" I'd like to see how bold these rats are, and how much they can afford to stir up the storm!

Li Ji said: "This ...... It's just the minister's worry, maybe ...... They don't have that

I just want to take advantage of the danger of the king to take care of my self-respecting identity, and I ask the king to be cautious

Meaning, just things. After all...... They are all my Tuoba clan, if the trade starts to kill, the king's reputation will ......"

Yang Hao smiled and said approvingly: "Li Qing is commendable for his loyalty, this king can save it, and he will never do anything that is not taught."

That being the case, the minister...... Quit.

"Hmm.

Li Jitan Shili retreated, and after watching him go away, Yang Hao said to Ding Chengzong: "It's really strange to say, it seems that this world is full of tricks, usurpation and power, in the Song Kingdom, I encountered cannibalism, and I just fought for the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme." In Liaoguo, he also bumped into a crime, and the good prince didn't do it, but he wanted to be a chaotic minister and thief, and he ended up with a broken son and grandson.

Ding Chengzong smiled faintly: "The world is bustling, all for profit." In fact, not only the throne of the world, but also the people's families, how many such things are going on every rì, don't talk about it, just talk about us

Ding Chengzong's cheeks twitched, and he didn't say any more, and the two brothers were silent for a while. After a long time, Yang Haocai suddenly stretched out his arms and said excitedly: "If you don't attract envy, you are a mediocre talent, if you don't want to be a mediocre talent, you have to be in power, if you want to be powerful, how can you not attract envy?" Whoever wants to stab me in the back, come on, I'll take it!

Ding Chengzong also smiled: "It's my brother, take it!"

Yang Hao nodded heavily, held his hand and said: "Yes, brothers are of the same heart, its benefits are gold, no matter what kind of demons and monsters, let's beat him in his original form!"

Arrows and meteors, people fell down like grass under a sickle, the sword was waved, and the blood was splashed in this sword. Heads rolled to the ground, severed limbs flew, shouts and roars, horses neighed, dogs barked, cows mooed, camels roared, sheep fled in panic, and the killing turned the entire city of Mingsha red.

Zhang Pu stood expressionlessly on a sand dune, watching the battle ahead, and seven or eight guards with large shields standing there straight. The main formation of the Yan Ling array had been loosened under the constant onslaught of Surman's army, and at this moment, the enemy army rushed from both wings like two sharp knives, trampled by horses' hooves, and arrows flew away.

The enemy cavalry took advantage of the fierceness of the short sprint, like two sharp knives, and stabbed into the left and right flanks for nearly 300 meters, and then it was like piercing the bones and stopped advancing, and the two sides fought together, and soon they could no longer maintain a clearly defined formation, and the two sides looked for their opponents and launched a knife and gun fight.

Erwei Shusheng nervously watched the scene of the handover of the two armies, swallowed his saliva bitterly, and said to Zhang Pu: "General, I'm afraid that I can't resist the enemy, and if I don't collect my troops, the whole army will be divided and annihilated by the Hui people."

Zhang Pu pursed his lips and slowly raised his hands......

Mingjin sounded, in the middle of the Chinese army, Zhang Pu's handsome flag began to move slowly, and the Western Xia army, which had already fallen behind, saw the commander Mingjin, and the handsome flag retreated, and the morale was greatly reduced. The Hui people were like a rainbow, constantly charging, cutting off, encircling, compressing, and the Western Xia army began to evolve from an orderly retreat to a chaotic retreat.

As soon as it turns into a big rout like falling flowers and flowing water, it is useless to give any orders, it is just a matter of whose horsepower is longer and who escapes faster. Erwei Shusheng noticed that the 20,000 jīng soldiers in Zhang Pu's main formation had not been engaged in the battle from beginning to end, and they were the real jīng soldiers, the most well-equipped, well-trained, and brave iron army, and they were also Zhang Pu's descendants. If Zhang Pu could put this force into battle in time, it was likely that the tide of the battle would be completely reversed, but he chose to give up Mingsha and retreat to the gorge

mouth

The corners of Erwei Shusheng's mouth couldn't help but quietly reveal a cold and smug smile.

His words have worked, and he has planted a seed in Zhang Pu's heart, which will take root and sprout, thrive, and bear fruit.

This seed is fast

He told Zhang Pu that victory is better than defeat, and advance is better than retreat. Because the weight of seed in the king's heart is obviously much heavier than him, even when he is in his prime, he is not the opponent of seed release. Now, he has been demoted to a defensive envoy, even if he makes great contributions, how much future does he have? Once the battle is won, won't it prove that the king is wise and wise? What's more, the external enemy is strong but the internal is unstable, and the odds of victory are not great.

Under such circumstances, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw troops to preserve strength, and through the defeat of the war, cooperate with the leaders of the Tuoba to exert pressure on the imperial court, and force the king to depose the ministers who stubbornly adhere to the ruling strategy of the Central Plains Dynasty, the leaders will put him in the position of the governor of the five armies again, and go all out to help him defeat foreign enemies, and then his position in the court will no longer be shaken.

Now it seems that this statement has taken effect.

Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and since they have been submissive for the first time, will they be clean and cool next time?

Thinking of this, Er Wei Shusheng smiled proudly.

People shouted that the horse neighed, and the defeated army was like cháo, Erwei Shusheng quietly handed a look to Hu Suo Camel, who was closely following him, and Hu Suo Camel understood, and immediately turned the horse's head and ran out diagonally. On the chaotic battlefield, those who have strayed, those who have fled, those who have fought against each other, and anything can happen, who will pay attention to the whereabouts of such a small person.

Erwei Shusheng smiled slightly: "Over there in Xingzhou, it's time to do it!"

He slammed the horse's belly and chased after Zhang Pu.
