Gao Xiu said: "The training has not yet been completed, but at that time the Weijuan and Changkun armies had a large-scale altitude sickness. Chang Kun was worried that the Tuyuhun people would be killed after receiving the news, so he ordered the [-] people from the plateau to flee from Longzhi quickly. We have joined together in Fucheng City, so it should be no problem now!"

After Gao Xiu finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but continued: "I feel very strange about one thing. According to the military newspaper, the Dangxiang people and the Tuyuhun people fought in the area outside Shudun City. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. At that time, the Tuyuhun people were Waiting for work at ease, more than 3000 people died in battle, while the Dangxiang people traveled long distances and rushed to the battle, killing more than 8000 people. From this, we can see that once the strength of the Dangxiang people exceeds 2 people, their combat effectiveness will be very strong, but they There were only [-] people in total, and almost half of them were lost in this battle, and then they quickly recruited almost all men who could mount horses and wield weapons from various ministries, and a total of more than [-] people went to Bailan!"

"I don't understand very well. Our army hasn't moved yet. Why did the party members devote all their strength to attack Tuyuhun? Did they think that they could defeat Tuyuhun?"

After reading the military newspaper, Zhao Junsheng also felt incredible when he heard Gao Xiu express his doubts, "This matter is indeed very strange, but one thing is for sure. Although the First World War ended with losses for both sides, it was clear that the Tuyuhun people had suffered a great loss, and the loss of troops far exceeded that of the Dangxiang people. I suspect that Mu Liyan has been terrified by the Tuyuhun people! Think about it, the Dangxiang people 3 Thousands of people attacked Tuyuhun City, and all the men who could hold weapons and mount horses were pulled over. This combat effectiveness must be greatly reduced; and Mu Liyan can at least collect [-] soldiers and horses. But he was besieged in the city by party members and dared not go out to fight, so he was scared out of his wits and what?"

Gao Xiu nodded: "According to His Majesty's analysis, it seems that this is the only possibility! He has an absolute advantage in military strength. If it is normal thinking, how can it be possible to hide in the city and defend the city? His men are all cavalry!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and sighed: "Mu Liyan is old, and now he is scared out of his wits, so he won't do anything in the future! I am surprised that the party members have the courage to attack the Tuyuhun people alone. , What prompted them to raise the whole family's soldiers to fight the Tuyuhun people to the death?"

The monarch and his ministers thought for a long time but could not figure out what the reason was.

After Gao Xiu left, Zhao Junsheng was still thinking about this strange situation.

After dinner, Zhao Junsheng was reading in the imperial study, and the eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Commander Lu is here, and he wants to report something!"

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Lu Xuanbo walked into the imperial study room and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his head, put down his book, stood up, picked up the cattail fan and fanned it while asking: "Is there any urgent news for you to see me so late?"

Lu Xuanbo clasped his fists and said, "It's not urgent, but I think His Majesty should know the news!"

"The study is a bit stuffy, let's go outside and talk!"

"Yes!"

The two monarchs and ministers walked out of the imperial study and came to the gazebo by the lake in a short time. The eunuchs had already lit lamps to illuminate the surroundings and lit incense to drive away mosquitoes.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the opposite side of the stone table: "Sit down and talk!"

Lu Xuanbo waited for Zhao Junsheng to sit down before he sat down.

The eunuch brought melons and fruits, and Zhao Junsheng picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it over: "This is called cold melon. Last year, a Hu merchant from Kangguo brought me the seeds as a tribute to me from the Western Regions. This spring, an acre of watermelon was planted in Huangzhuang outside the city. Land, when the cold melon is ripe, pick it and put it in the cellar to freeze it, then take it out and cut it when you want to eat it. It was delivered yesterday, try it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Xuanbo took it and took a bite, "Well, yes, it is indeed a high-grade heat-relieving product!"

After eating the watermelon, Lu Xuanbo immediately said: "The black-clothed guards received the news that after the Weijuan and Changkun troops entered Fuqi City, there were large-scale altitude sicknesses one after another. Li Ji was worried that the Tuyuhun people would come back after receiving the news, so he thought for a while. In the name of His Majesty, he made a promise to the party members that whoever takes Mu Liyan's head and sends it to the capital to dedicate to His Majesty, he will inherit everything that Tuyuhun has on the plateau, and canonize him as the King of the Party !"

After listening to it, Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized: "Understood, so this is the reason why the Party members desperately fought the Tuyuhun people!"

Chapter 792

Zhao Junsheng was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Li Ji and others falsely used his name to make a promise to the party members. Although Li Ji, Wei Juan, Chang Kun and others drove the party members to fight the Tuyuhun people in order to resolve the crisis of the army, they But he didn't report it to Zhao Junsheng, which made Zhao Junsheng brood.

How to deal with them made Zhao Junsheng feel difficult. Now the war is not over, if it will be unfavorable for the battle situation, Zhao Junsheng thinks about it or put it down for the time being, and wait until the war is over.

Lu Xuanbo said: "Your Majesty, Li Ji, Wei Juan, and Chang Kun are not people who don't know the importance of things. They will definitely not hide this matter. I guess they should hand in a memorial to plead guilty soon. After all, it is still a war. During the period, the apology memorial was sent together and it is easy to leak the news..."

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, then asked and answered: "Who else knows about this except you?"

"In addition to Wei Chen, the black-clothed guard who reported the letter knew about it."

"Don't say anything about this for now, just pretend you don't know!"

"Yes!"

······

Outside Tuyuhun City, the party members waited for three days in a row but did not wait for Mu Liyan's head to be thrown in the city, so they could only continue to attack Tuyuhun City.

The attack was not very strong at the beginning, and after another three days of attack, the party members who stayed in Shudun City sent a messenger to report that 5 soldiers had arrived in Shudun City. This news made the party leaders a little uneasy .

Is Gan Jun worried that they will not be able to capture Tuyuhun City, so he wants to attack Tuyuhun City himself, or is he here to supervise them?

The leaders of various party departments gathered to discuss this matter, and the arrival of [-] cavalry led to subtle changes in the situation.

"Since the emperor of Qian Kingdom has promised that whoever can cut off Mu Liyan's head will inherit everything from the Tuyuhun people and be crowned King of the Party, why did he send [-] cavalry to Shudun City? To be honest, I'm not superstitious, I really can't worry about it!"

The leaders discussed and decided to temporarily stop the siege.

The leaders went back to their own camps. As soon as Tuoba Siqi entered the camp, Tuoba Yannu came in and reported: "Patriarch, Tuyuhun city secretly sent someone to see the patriarch!"

"What? Someone from the city? Someone sent by Mu Liyan?" Tuoba Siqi asked in surprise.

"No, it's his nephew Fuyang!"

Tuoba Siqi thought about it, then waved: "Go let someone in!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, a Tuyuhun came in, "Banu pays homage to Patriarch Tuoba!"

Tuoba Siqi asked: "Why did Fuyang send you here?"

Banu replied: "Now Tuyuhun City is besieged and there is no way to save myself. My master does not want to be buried with Mu Liyan. My master has heard of the patriarch's reputation for a long time and wants to submit to the patriarch. From now on, he will serve the patriarch. The head was a gift, but my master was worried that other ethnic groups in the party would not let us go, so he asked the patriarch to take Mu Liyan's head and leave with other party members first, so as to lift the siege of Tuyuhun City and let everyone in the city Livestock can go out to graze! If the patriarch has any order, just send someone to convey it, and my patriarch will definitely be ordered to serve!"

After hearing this, Tuoba Siqi pondered in his heart, if he could get Tuyuhun's allegiance, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the strength of the Tuoba tribe, unifying the party is no problem, but Tuyuhun's current strength is still too strong, he is a little worried that he will not be able to control it , but the temptation is too great.

How can we get Fuyang's true allegiance without betraying him?Tuoba Siqi fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, Tuoba Siqi asked: "How much chance does Fuyang have to take down Mu Liyan's head?"

Banu replied: "More than half of the leaders have voted for my master, and my master has at least a [-]% chance of winning!"

Tuoba Siqi calculated in his mind that if Fuyang wanted to take Mu Liyan's head, he would definitely have to fight him. Both sides would be hurt in a fight. Even if Fuyang succeeded in killing Mu Liyan and taking his head in the end, the I'm afraid that his strength will also be greatly damaged, and there are not many troops left. In this way, he doesn't seem to have to worry about Fuyang's strength to betray him, but this is not safe.

Tuoba Siqi asked: "How can I believe that Fuyang is sincerely submitting to me? How can he guarantee that he will not betray me?"

Banu said: "My master can secretly send his most beloved son to the patriarch as a proton!"

This seems to be a good idea, Tuoba Siqi thought for a while, and said to Banu: "You go down and have a rest first, the patriarch will give you an answer after thinking about it!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

After Banu was taken away by several Dangxiang warriors, Tuoba Siqi asked Yan Nu: "What do you think?"

Yan Nu thought for a while, and said to Tuoba Siqi: "Patriarch, I think it is acceptable to accept the surrender of Fuyang, the Tuyuhun people have been frightened by us, otherwise they would not be able to hide in the city and come out of the city to fight us! Fuyang obviously didn't want to die, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to send Mu Liyan's head! After the patriarch gets the head, we still need to send it to the Qian Kingdom. Many things will happen during this process. I'm afraid that other tribes will I won’t watch us send the heads away, I’m worried that they will join forces to attack us, at this time the Tuyuhun people will be able to play a role, the patriarch can order Fuyang to lead troops to deal with other tribes with us!”

Qianguo threw out a huge bait, and now the Tuyuhun people threw Mu Liyan's head as the bait again, and the party members were played around, what a big irony!

Tuoba Siqi thought for a long time, and finally decided to agree to Fuyang.

Banu sneaked back into the city with Tuoba Siqi's promise, and Fuyang sent someone to secretly send his youngest son to Tuoba Siqi's camp outside the city the next night.
