Chapter 360: The Envoy Visits
At the cost of less than 1,000 casualties, the Tang army wiped out the Tuyuhun logistics battalion from the world. All the cattle, sheep and livestock that could not be taken away were killed, and after being poured with fire oil, a fire was burned.
After winning the first battle, Duan Zhixuan had a general grasp of this war in his heart. And Fu Yun Khan suffered such a big defeat in the first battle, and he began to seriously think about the feasibility of Prince Fu Shun's proposal.
Both sides knew that last night's night attack was just a simple temptation. How the next battle will be fought and to what extent it will be fought is a difficult thing for both sides to grasp.
Fu Yun knew that the Tang army had a very powerful weapon, and after being silent for a long time, he made the decision to put the king under house arrest and summon Prince Fu Shun.
It can also be seen from this that Fu Yun really cannot be regarded as a very courageous monarch. If it is replaced by a more courageous monarch, since he has already chosen Fushun, the best way is to directly kill the king.
In this way, Tuyuhun will have one less alternative voice, and he will inevitably be more comfortable in dealing with the current situation.
It's a pity that Fu Yun doesn't have the courage or determination, so there is a crack in the heart of Tuyuhun's army inadvertently.
After all, not everyone is in favor of Fushun. On the other hand, in the Tang army camp, Duan Zhixuan received Zhao Dekai who came back from the Tuyuhun camp in the Shazhou camp, and the two retreated and plotted left and right for a whole day, and no one knew what they talked about.
It's just that the two armies that should be incompatible, as if each side has received the other's signal. After the first day of fighting, it was tacitly agreed not to start a dispute.
Time slowly dragged on to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and by this time, the siege of the sandbar had basically been solved.
But on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Yun made an incomprehensible decision. Fu Yun sent envoys to Shazhou City.
The person who came here was the King of Tianzhu, who was known as the king of wisdom in the Tuyuhun country. After receiving Fu Yun's information, the Heavenly Pillar King immediately gave up the defense of Fu Qi City, and then rushed to the sandbank camp without stopping.
Especially after learning that Fu Yun chose Fu Shun, but only put the king under house arrest, he was even more angry at Fu Yun.
However, no matter how favored King Tianzhu was, he was always just a courtier, and in the end he still failed to force Fu Yun to make the decision to kill his son.
Fu Yun had no choice but to send an envoy to the Tang army camp. Outside must be at home first, and that's a choice any ruler with a modicum of wisdom would make.
If the heir of Tuyuhun is unknown for a day, and the king does not die for a day, the combat effectiveness of the Tuyuhun army will not reach its peak for a day.
In the face of such an enemy as the Tang Army, no one dared to be careless. Therefore, the Heavenly Pillar King made up his mind to delay time, at least until Fu Yun made a final decision.
Things are so dramatic, at the beginning of the war, Datang was bent on delaying time, but now, it has become Tuyuhun wanting to delay time.
In fact, the fact that King Tianzhu chose to send an envoy to the Tang army camp shows that he is actually inclined to Fu Shun's suggestion in his heart.
It's just their khan.
"Alas~" Before stepping into Duan Zhixuan's big tent, the Heavenly Pillar King couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Tuyuhun and Datang are not without the strength of a battle, although the logistics battalion lost 10,000 people, but Tuyuhun still has more than 100,000 soldiers with armor, and Tuyuhun is mainly nomadic, even if it can't be defeated, the world can't go anywhere.
It's just that Khan, the King of the Heavenly Pillar said that he couldn't take it, he really couldn't take it. Duan Zhixuan received the King of Tianzhu in the big tent of the Chinese army with a strange expression on his face, and only Zhao Dekai sat beside him.
Fu Yun sent an envoy to visit, but instead of handing over a note to the Shazhou Assassin Mansion, he came directly to the barracks, which is very interesting.
"The envoys of the lower kingdom have seen the grandfather of the upper kingdom and the envoys." The Heavenly Pillar King looks very similar to Fu Yun, and he is also a burly and tall old man.
Because the king of Tianzhu and the Busa bowl Khan Murong Fuyun are the brothers of the same mother, named Murong Rong. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute, and Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was named the king of Xiping County, and Murong Rong, who was his younger brother, was naturally also named a prince.
Therefore, Duan Zhixuan stood up and greeted the Heavenly Pillar King the moment he entered the door.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, come and sit down." Duan Zhixuan commanded the guards outside the door, and the guards put a plan in front of the Heavenly Pillar King.
King Tianzhu once again stroked Duan Zhixuan and Zhao Dekai with one hand on their chests and performed a grassland etiquette, and then sat down cross-legged on the cushion behind the plan.
"I don't know what the Heavenly Pillar King is doing here?" Duan Zhixuan was the first to open his mouth and asked the Heavenly Pillar King, and then quietly waited for the Heavenly Pillar King to speak.
Zhao Dekai sat in the second seat with him, and looked at the Tianzhu King from time to time as if he was looking at a dead man. He hadn't forgotten that the death of his nephew Zhao Yun was at the hands of the son of the alien lord in front of him.
Murong Rong was a little inexplicable by Zhao Dekai's gaze, he came in a hurry from Fu Qi City, and just briefly understood the process of the first battle between the two sides.
After learning that the Tang army had a powerful weapon, coupled with the current situation in the Tuyuhun army, he made the decision to send the Tang army to the camp.
His son had killed an envoy before he could learn about it. And even if he understands it, it is very likely that he will not take it to heart, because he does not know that person is Zhao Dekai's nephew.
Zhao Dekai also did not disclose this matter to others.
"Is there something on the minister's face, why does the envoy look at him like this?" Murong Rong didn't answer Duan Zhixuan's question, but looked at Zhao Dekai and asked.
Zhao Dekai chuckled, suddenly got up and came behind Murong Rong, and gently put a knife on Murong Rong's neck.
said lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to see His Highness's big head, whether it is better to make a wine glass or a urinal." ”
"The two countries are at war without cutting each other, does the envoy want to break the rules that have been respected by this country for thousands of years?" After listening to Zhao Dekai's words, Murong Rong calmly asked Zhao Dekai a rhetorical question, and there was no panic between his words.
"Hehe, the rules aren't bad." Zhao Dekai returned to his seat and chuckled again and explained.
Then he closed his eyes and stopped talking, returning the initiative to Duan Zhixuan. Murong Rong's heart was a little suspicious, the information revealed by Zhao Dekai's words was enough for him to guess the truth of some things.
Could it be that Fu Yun was really stupid to such an extent, and killed the envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty to Tuyuhun without authorization? It's just that he couldn't imagine that the killer was not Fu Yun, but his son.
