Mo De has experienced many ups and downs in his life, once a great minister, once a prisoner, standing tall in the wind and waves, but he has never been so uncertain or even frightened as he is now.

He sat in the tent, receiving visits from groups of generals, making plans, planning routes, and assigning tasks, all of which were routine processes, which were not difficult for him, and the forces of the Dragon King and Dotun were treated equally, and Mode only reserved a few positions for his followers.

The first night was spent peacefully.

Mo Chuji got up early, regained his composure, ordered the army to pull out the camp, and then patiently waited for the two forces to pull together.

Dotun and the Dragonlord took very different approaches.

During the noon nap, Liman brought the greetings of Prince Duodun and the invitation of Xiao Yan, while the Dragon King did not say a word, Dugu Xian and Li Shun performed their duties normally, without a single superfluous word.

The meeting with Xiao Yan and Duo Dun was pleasant, they were all people who were valued by the old Khan King during his lifetime, and naturally there were many topics, and Mo recalled with emotion that he drank the "urine wine" made by Duo Dun back then, and suddenly the relationship was closer.

Dotun ordered the mutinous officers to apologize to the old general, and each of them drank a large bowl of wine, rebuked him for his actions, drew his sword, and pleaded guilty.

Mo De magnanimously forgave everyone, "To be honest, His Highness's behavior reminds me of the old Khan King, hehe, he only took a few guards back then, rushed into the front-line barracks, and asked the commander why he didn't attack, and the battle turned out to be hearty, and it was one of the most wonderful battles of the Beiting cavalry." ”

Dotun himself did not apologize, he mainly demonstrated the loyalty of his subordinates, and indeed, at the slightest order, dozens of officers, including a few of their closest associates, would commit suicide in front of the old general.

Xiao Yan was in charge of coordinating the relationship between the two, "The old Khan king sent both the old general and the prince of Dotun to the Western Regions, there must be his deep meaning, alas, it is a pity that he ascended to heaven too early and did not explain the matter, which led to many misunderstandings. ”

Of course, Mo Chu understood what the "deep meaning" was, but he pretended to be confused, "Yes, the old Khan King is far-sighted and never makes useless arrangements, I really wish I could know what he thinks, but I'm sure of one thing, the old Khan King must like the prince's crispness and decisiveness, haha." ”

Xiao Yan also laughed, "The grassland really needs to be a little decisive, especially now, the old Khan King has unexpectedly ascended to heaven, the dragons in the North Court have no leader, everyone wants a piece of the pie, and even the foreigners have ghosts in their hearts." ”

Mo Chu nodded frequently, refusing to answer.

Unable to continue, he motioned for one of Dotun's companions to speak.

"What kind of thing is Jinpeng Castle? A small sect in the Western Regions, Shangguan Fa calls himself the 'Dubu King' with a shy face, but in fact he is just a killer leader, and he even dares to wade into the troubled waters of the North Court. ”

Mo asked in surprise: "Did the people from Jinpeng Castle intervene in the dispute in the North Court?"

"One of the advisors of the Dubu King is serving as a military advisor in the Luo Luo army. Duo Dun took over the conversation, "It is said that Jinpeng Fort will also hand over the Thousand Cavalry Pass to Luo Luo, the Dragon King and the Dubu King are not in the same sky, and a lot of annihilation has been planted in Biyu City, so the news you get should not be wrong." ”

"Yes, the Dragon King has a lot of eyeliner, and Tongtianguan also has it. Mo said perfunctorily, looking uncertain.

After drinking for a while, the officers retired one after another, and when there were only three people left, Dotun made his purpose clear, "The Dragon King suspects that the old general is colluding with Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Mo Chu looked surprised, "Although I am the Governor of Biyu City, I have very little contact with Jinpeng Castle, let me ...... I'm an old man, what did Jinpeng Castle buy me for?"

"The military advisor of the Dragon King almost openly declared that the old general was an internal annihilation. "Of course I don't believe it, but the question is what the dragon king thinks?"

"The Dragon King is insidious and cunning. Xiao Yan added, "He recommended the old general as the coach, it is definitely not goodwill, that Dugu Xian is the person he really wants to push, the old general should be careful." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, the Dragon King is just a foreigner, in terms of power in the Western Regions, I'm afraid it's not as good as Jinpeng Castle, Prince Duodun and His Royal Highnesses Xiao Wang are sitting in battle, what am I afraid of him?"

"That's right, that's right, the old general's experience and vision are incomparable to our young people, and the dragon king is just a small worm, and he can't make much waves. ”

In the next time, the three of them just drank happily, and Mo made an excuse to march the next time, and resigned before the third watch, which was considered an early departure for the banquet of the people of Beiting.

Don grimaced, "Old fox, you should give him some color." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, at least wait until you repel Rollo. ”

Duo Dun frowned, and he was also dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, "You just said too much, it seems that I don't have an opinion." ”

Xiao Yan smiled and stroked Dotun's solid back, "Okay, listen to you, I will only listen to it in the future." ”

"It's not that you don't say it, but don't say it too much. ”

Xiao Yan nodded obediently, serving the old Khan King for many years, she had a clear understanding of when to be publicized and when to be soft, "Don't worry, Mo Chu doesn't dare to fall to the Dragon King, the Dragon King wants to usurp the power of the North Court is still early, they are all your pawns, even me." ”

A strong ** surged in Dodun's heart, but he knew the severity, held Xiao Yan's hand, and said in a tender voice that would never be shown to outsiders: "You are not a chess piece, you are my right and left hand, make ideas for me and move the chess pieces for me." ”

Early the next morning, news came from the front line that Luo Luo heard that the coalition army was facing the battle, stopped its westward advance, and was stationed near the Qianqi Pass, and had sent someone to issue a war letter.

It took another day for the letter to arrive, causing a small stir.

There are only four words at the beginning of the war book: the dragon king's foot.

The war letter is very brief, to the effect that it is better to decide the victory or defeat in a battle than to decide the victory or defeat in the steppe strife, and to end the chaos as soon as possible, and the names of Dotun and Shulitu only appear once from beginning to end, hoping that the dragon king will take care of the two Khan princes, as if they have become hostages.

Gu Shenwei believes that this is Zhang Ji's handiwork.

The contents of the war letter soon circulated among the army, and the soldiers were first angry at Rollo, thinking that he intended to despise the two highnesses, but not long after, suspicion still arose, and many people asked themselves for the first time: Who owns this army? If the enemy army wins, Rollo will naturally be the new Khan, what about the coalition army? After the victory, there will be another decisive battle? Friends who fought side by side will have to face each other with swords in the blink of an eye?

Fang Wen was planning a fiercely worded reply, pointing out that Luo Luo's background was suspicious, and he was not qualified to compete for the throne of Khan, let alone ask about the affairs of the prince and grandson of Khan, but in private he admitted that Zhang Ji had won a move, "This is a trouble, there are not many people who are cranky now, and it must be stopped as soon as possible." ”

Dotun also felt the urgency of the situation, and although he saw the Dragon King and Shulitus as competitors, he would not have any benefit if the coalition was divided at this time.

The parties with different intentions once again sat down to deliberate, put aside their guards and intrigues for the time being, and unanimously agreed that it was necessary to explain the situation to all the soldiers.

The next day, when the whole army rested for a day, Dotun and Shulitus ascended the altar hand in hand, and swore to heaven that they would never settle their differences by means of war, and that either one would inherit the throne and make the other king.

A total of 18 10,000 troops, after the decisive battle with Rollo, will be rewarded for their merits, and the nine most courageous 10,000 troops will receive the right to vote, and they will choose the new Khan among the two Khan princes.

Unprecedentedly, the two 10,000-strong armies led by the Dragon King can also fight for the right to vote, and this is the first time that a foreigner has participated in the election of the Khan, but the whole army agrees that the people of the Western Regions cannot be more brave than the Beiting cavalry, they mainly use spears as weapons, and they do not even know how to ride and shoot.

Subsequently, Duotun and Shulitu jointly canonized the "Dragon King of the Western Regions", and publicly promised to officially confer the title of king after inheriting the throne, and the word "Western Regions" added a restriction to the dragon king, and Gu Shenwei also showed that he had absolutely no intention of chasing the power of the grassland.

After pulling out the camp again, Fang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Haha, Zhang Ji and Luo Luo can be regarded as self-inflicted, they want to sow discord, but as a result, the morale of our army is higher, and everyone is gearing up, ready to fight." ”

The Khan's voting power is extremely valuable, which means that this army of 10,000 people will definitely become the new Khan's close attendant as long as they have an accurate eye, and they will receive a lot of rewards and privileges, and competition is inevitable.

Fang Wen began to analyze his own advantages, "The original soldiers of the close service army can make up four complete 10,000 troops, if they can't fight for the name of bravery, it will be strange, as long as a strong 10,000 army is formed, Shu Litu will be able to win." ”

Dugu Xian didn't care who was the king of Khan, but he pointed out an obvious loophole, "The 180,000 army, from the beginning to the end, once the war starts, it won't be long before it will be a mess, except for the gods in the sky, no one can see the battlefield situation clearly, and there is no way to judge who is brave and who is cowardly." ”

"After every war, we have to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, is it a random judgment?" Fang Wen was not convinced.

"Of course not, but in ordinary wars, there is only one commander, a king, and as far as he can see, he will choose the bravest, and outside of his eyesight, he will be selected by the deputy commanders of the left and right wings, and the situation of our army is a bit special. ”

Gu Shenwei understood the meaning of Dugu Xian, the battle for the throne was not actually decided by the most brave 10,000 soldiers, and in the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds, Shulitu had to fight to the death with Dotun.

"Don't think about it yet, beating Rollo is the most important thing right now. Gu Shenwei said.

Fang Wen was a little disappointed, although he was full of grandiose opinions, he still knew too little about the war, and then his eyes lit up, "It's actually better for Dotun and Shulitu to have a dispute, we can take the opportunity to win the Thousand Cavalry Pass and cut off the other arm of Jinpeng Castle." ”

Gu Shenwei felt that this was a feasible plan, losing the Thousand Cavalry Pass and the Tongtian Pass, the gate of Biyu City would be opened, and Jinpeng Fort would become a lonely fortress, which could be said.

"After defeating Rollo, the only force that Jinpeng Fort can take refuge in is the Central Plains. Gu Shen judged so.

Fang Wen said angrily: "With General Dugu here, I won't be useful in the army, and I can't help if I really fight, so it's better for me to go to see the people of the Central Plains, make preparations in advance, and cut off this road to Jinpeng Fort." ”

Gu Shenwei agreed, "Beware of Wei Song, he is likely to do bad things, if possible, it is best to find his opponent." ”

Fang Wen is face smiled, "I understand, does the Dragon King want to cut off Wei Song's relationship in the Central Plains? To be honest, I have already done some investigations in advance, and this may be possible." ”
