Regardless of what happened in Chang'an, his eyes returned to Douhe County.

Murong Fuyun began to frantically attack Qi Ming's tiger and leopard camp since he found out that there might be traitors around him.

He wanted to take Qi Ming as quickly as possible to achieve the strategic goal of joining forces with Tuoba Zhao.

It stands to reason that he has several times more than Qi Bi Ming, not to mention the total annihilation of Qi Bi Ming's tiger and leopard battalion, but it is not a big problem to really achieve the strategic goal of joining forces with Tuoba Zhao.

Especially when he chooses to take the plunge.

After all, the superiority of the forces is there.

But at this time, his suspicion was committed again.

He doesn't know who betrayed him, and everyone looks like an inner ghost, which makes him suspicious when he does things.

When it comes to his position, suspicion is inevitable.

If there were no suspicions, 80 percent of the kings under that sky would not live long.

After all, the allure of that position is just too great.

But when it comes to this, many people are curious.

Since Murong Fuyun had the ability to join forces with Tuoba Zhao early on, why didn't he make a desperate bet at first?

At that time, he didn't suspect that there were traitors among his men.

Actually, this is normal.

Desperate means heavy casualties.

At first, he was reluctant to do so, just hoping to preserve his strength.

Now that the Tuyuhun situation has changed abruptly, Tuoba Zhao also has to take precautions.

Over the past year or so, he has experienced too many betrayals, and if you really want to say who he trusts 100%, hehe, not a single one.

Whether it is Tuoba Zhao or the King of Dingcheng, even if it is his son Dayan Mangjiebo, trust is limited.

Besides, the previous battle situation is actually not a bad thing for him to continue to drag on.

At least his side still has the upper hand, as for Tuoba Zhao's side, he knows the situation, although it is very stale, but he will not be defeated for a while.

Then using this to consume the strength of Tuoba Zhao's department will be beneficial to his future balance of Tuyuhun departments.

He didn't want another Tianzhu King or Gaochang King.

Sometimes, the strategic purpose is not only external, but also internal.

Strictly speaking, Murong Fuyun really didn't take Li Chengqian seriously.

In his words, if it weren't for the fear of Datang, the little Li Chengqian would have been wiped out with a snap of his fingers.

But since the troops were mobilized, he naturally wanted to get the maximum benefit.

This is similar to the original Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo.

Borrow external forces to help him consolidate his internal rule.

From this point of view, Murong Fuyun's approach is actually really correct.

It's just that a lot of things won't go step by step according to his plan.

Especially when the army of King Qiuzi failed to enter Hezhou, and King Dingcheng and Dayan Mang made a plan, many things exceeded his expectations.

Coupled with the turmoil of internal ghosts, Murong Fuyun has also been the first two recently.

Sometimes, he even wonders if he is old.

"Great Khan, why don't you just press the whole army up." In the middle of the camp, a subordinate said.

Murong Fuyun's tens of thousands of subordinates are divided into four battalions and one guard.

Yiwei is naturally his personal guard, with a total of more than 10,000 people.

The other four battalions were about 10,000 men each.

Except for the more than 10,000 people who fought fiercely with the lone wolf cavalry in the rear, the rest of the soldiers and horses were here.

However, Murong Fuyun was really suspicious.

When he found that the soldiers of the battalion in the rear and the fierce battle of Tumonro were fighting to the death, he transferred them back on the grounds that the battalion had suffered too many casualties.

At this time, those who are still willing to fight to the death for him are definitely loyal to him, and this kind of person naturally has to be arranged by his side.

And while fighting against Qi Ming's lone wolf horseman, he came up with another method.

That is, every time they attacked, each battalion only sent half of the soldiers and horses, which was called rotation, but in fact it was on guard.

He was also afraid of driving the dog into the poor alley, and when the time came, there would really be a rebellion under his command.

In this way, no matter who has a problem, he still has a little bit of energy to spare.

It can only be said that the elderly Murong Fuyun is indeed a little powerless, or rather, he is afraid of death.

But this is also normal, as the so-called good death is better than living.

has been immersed in the pinnacle of power for a long time, and how many are not afraid of death?

At this moment, hearing his subordinates say this, Murong Fuyun turned his head to look at him, and said after a long time: "Don't worry, Qi Ming has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we will grind them to death slowly." ”

The subordinates were also speechless.

Of course, he knew that this was the best strategy, but Murong Fuyun had been too fickle recently.

At first, he said that he would spit Monroe, but when it came to the end, he changed his goal.

If you change the target, forget it, and in the end, even the style of play has changed.

He didn't know what Murong Fuyun's plans were going to do next.

This made him very powerless, thinking of the past year, plus Murong Fuyun's personality, he didn't know why.

He couldn't tell me about it.

"Great Khan, Ashina Juli has led the army south, and is now in the area of Dafei Mountain." At this moment, a pro-soldier came to report.

"So fast." Hearing that Ashina Lili had arrived at Dafei Mountain, Murong Fuyun was a little surprised and asked, "Where is the messenger?" ”

Although Qi Bi He Li made the Iron Eagle Guard of Qi Qi Hai block the road that must be passed through Da Fei Mountain, Tu Gu Hun is so big, and it is not only Da Fei Mountain, how can Qi Qi He Li block it.

"It's right outside the tent." The pro-soldier said.

Murong Fuyun thought for a while and said, "Bring it in." ”

Not long after, Ashina's messenger was brought to Murong Fuyun's big tent.

"The ministers see the Great Khan."

Murong Fuyun looked at the messenger, and then said, "The Khan of the Wild Leaf Protector has been doing well recently. ”

"Lao Da Khan is worried." The messenger smiled, "My Khan is all right, and before he came, the Khan asked Weichen to take him to say hello." ”

Nodding, Murong Fuyun said again: "You guys are going south this way, have you encountered the Hezhou defenders led by Niu Jinda?" ”

"Back to the words of the Great Khan." The messenger said, "We have been going south non-stop this time, but we have not encountered the Tang army led by Niu Jinda. ”

Hearing him say this, Murong Fuyun fell silent.

It shouldn't be, so many of you are passing through the state in Tuguhun, and it is impossible for Niu Jinda not to know about such a big movement.

Moreover, your Western Turkic soldiers and horses suddenly marched into Tuyuhun, and it is impossible for Niu Jinda not to suspect it.

How could he let them go south so smoothly?

He was already suspicious, and this time, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"You came here this time, what explanation do you have for the Khan of the Leaf Protection?" After pondering for a while, Murong Fuyun asked again.

"The foreign minister came this time, mainly because my Khan asked the foreign minister to ask the Great Khan, now is the best time to send troops?"

Shaking his head, Murong Fuyun said: "Don't rush for the time being, wait a little longer, when the time comes, Ben Khan will send someone to inform you."

Presumably you also know that the Tang Dynasty has already sent troops, although it is only the defenders of Hezhou, but the specific situation, Ben Khan is still studying.

After all, no one wants to compete with Datang at this juncture, right? ”

The Courier nodded.

The reason why Ashina Lili sent him here was precisely because of this reason.

This battle can be fought, but the premise that it can be fought is that Datang has no time to take care of this side.

If the Tang Dynasty is also involved, it is okay to say that Tugu Hun is down, but it is a time bomb for his Western Turks.

Because he still has a strong enemy in the Western Turks!

"The minister understands, so he will go back and report to my Khan." When the messenger had finished speaking, he was to leave.

Murong Fuyun nodded and said, "Then there will be a noble envoy." ”

As soon as the messenger left, one of his subordinates asked with a puzzled expression: "Great Khan, why don't you let Ashina continue to wave his troops south?"

If they come to help, the last general will be sure to take the Western Army of Qibi He Li within one day! ”

Murong Fuyun smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you 100% sure that they are here to support us?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone shut up.

"Where are the coalition forces of the Western Regions?" Murong Fuyun ignored them, but asked.

At that moment, one person replied: "Back to the Great Khan, at most one day, he will also arrive at Dafei Mountain." ”

"Then wait another day." Obviously, he didn't trust Ashinali.

In the final analysis, it was the countries of the Western Regions that convinced him more, there was no way, there was an irreconcilable contradiction between them and Li Chengqian, and no one could solve it.

And Ashina Li, this person is too variable, and he is unwilling to gamble.

"Let Dafei Mountain keep an eye on Ashina's strength, before the coalition forces of the Western Regions countries arrive, they will definitely not be allowed to go south, understand." After pondering for a while, Murong Fuyun commanded again.

For him, the reason why he wanted to pull so many people into the water this time was not just to deal with Li Chengqian.

If you really want to talk about it, it is not practical to deal with Li Chengqian, so it is impossible to mobilize the people.

He just used this as a pretext to recreate the former glory of Tuyuhun.

This is indeed a rare opportunity for him.

If done correctly, he has a chance to create a superpower comparable to Datang.

……

On the other side, Tuyuhun and Niu Jinda are really not idle.

(Originally, there was a chapter about their campaign in Tuyuhun, but it turned out to be gone...... ）

He went west this time, and Li Chengqian didn't give him a clear task, so he casually explained a few words.

Others, the degree of freedom is relatively high.

As for rescuing the families of Tumonro and others, it is enough to do it, not that it must be done.

There are less than 10,000 of them, and they are killed in the hinterland of Tuyuhun, and if they really want to save people, it is all nonsense.

But as long as they do it, no matter what the final result is, Tumonro and the others will definitely not have any opinions.

Because they did!

Speaking of this, it is a trick of Li Chengqian.

"General, there's an army of tens of thousands of people heading south."

Just when Niu Jinda and the soldiers were discussing what to do next, a scout came to report.

"Who?" Niu Jinda raised his head and asked.

"It's hard to say who the specific person is, anyway, it's not the Tuyuhun people, looking at their outfits, they should be from the Western Regions."

Hearing the scout say this, some people wondered, "What's the situation?" Yesterday it was the army of the Western Turks going south, and today it is the army of the people of the Western Regions, what is Murong Fuyun doing? ”

"Hmph, today's Tuyuhun is simply messed up.

It's the Western Turks again, it's our Tang army again, and there is the army of the Ming Dynasty in the south, and the army of the Western Regions is also here at this time, is it preparing to stage the Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms? ”

Niu Jinda was also shocked, but quickly shook his head and said, "No matter, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"General." Hearing Niu Jinda say this, the general of the Hezhou garrison said, "It is very likely that they are going south to support Murong Fuyun, and we really don't do anything?"

Before, it was okay to let the Western Turks go south, but if the people of the Western Regions were allowed to go south, His Highness was afraid that there would be danger. ”

"No matter what, they have tens of thousands of troops, and we don't have 10,000 soldiers and horses, what are we going to fight with them?" Niu Jinda said, "The order that the general received did not let us intercept their military order. ”

"But on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and many things can't be strictly executed according to the plan?" Someone said.

Although it is true that they did not receive an order, if something happened to Li Chengqian, they would also be to blame.

When the time came, Li Ersheng was angry, and they had no good fruit to eat.

At least so far, Li Chengqian is still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Niu Jinda shook his head firmly, and said: "Our little soldiers and horses can't actually change anything, if we really want to help His Highness break the siege, it is better to take Fu Qi City."

As long as we take Fu Qi City, then Murong Fu Yun will definitely try his best to return to help. ”

He actually wanted to intercept it, but before leaving, Li Chengqian specially explained that he would leave it alone if he encountered the army of the Western Regions or the army of the Western Turks.

Obviously, Li Chengqian had expected everything that happened today.

That's why he was just surprised.

It's just that there are some things he can't say.

Moreover, he also understood that Li Chengqian would not call the Hezhou garrison to help the Ming Dynasty relieve the siege, if he really wanted to do so, it seemed that he would indeed benefit a lot in the short term, but from a long-term point of view, it would definitely be a blessing in disguise.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of identity.

……

On the other side, Dafei Mountain.

Ashina looked at the watering river county in the south, and at this point, he actually regretted it.

If it was just to fight with Daming, he was still willing.

But if he wants to fight with Datang, he is unwilling.

The main reason is that the Western Turks have not yet recovered their heyday of strength, and it is still somewhat difficult to continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Xue Yantuo has been eyeing him, if he really wants to fight with the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo will definitely take the opportunity to encroach on his Western Turks, which is inevitable.

This is not what he wants.

"Great Khan." Just when Ashina was looking to the south, a subordinate said, "The news from Hezhou has come that King Qiuzi has failed to take Hezhou. ”

"It's just expected." Ashina didn't turn his head back when he heard this, and continued to maintain his original posture, "Next, we may be in trouble."

Datang, it's not something we can be hostile to for the time being. ”

"Then we're going to withdraw our troops?" The subordinate asked.

Ashina shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, let's take a look first, who said that we can only support Murong Fuyun?" If the timing is right, it is also a good choice to support King Ming and divide Tuyuhun. ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

As far as he is concerned, there are still many ways for him to retreat.

Not to mention that the fight hasn't started yet, even if it does, he can find a perfect excuse to resolve the crisis in front of him.

As for the agreement.

Hehe, these days, the most worthless thing is the agreement.

"Great Khan." The subordinate thought for a moment and said, "The last general heard that the coalition forces of the Western Regions countries are also coming, what is Murong Fuyun doing this time?"

The last general couldn't understand it, he let so many troops in, wasn't he afraid of any chaos? ”

"Mess?" Ashina smiled and said, "You don't understand, wealth is in danger, Murong Fuyun, this old thing, actually doesn't have a good heart, this guy is greedy." ”

"Not well-intentioned?"
