Chapter 18: The messenger sent by Murong Shun

This new situation was not only surprised by Wang Yi, but also by Su Dingfang, who was the main general.

Their direction is now less than 300 miles away from Fuqi City. At the current speed of travel, it takes only one and a half days to reach Fuqi City, which has few troops to deploy, and it is very likely that it can easily take over the capital of Tuyuhun.

The situation I discovered now has caused variables, and the development of the situation may be completely different from what they expected. If the Tuyuhun people really discovered the movements of our army and responded, then the meaning of their rapid progress during this period would be lost.

Su Dingfang and Wang Yi decided to speed up the journey, with the purpose of preventing the Tuyuhun people from finding out about their whereabouts. Even if someone found their whereabouts, they would not have time to run back to the vicinity of Fuqi City to report the situation. However, now judging from the situation, this plan may be disappointed.

If the Tuyuhun people were prepared, the battle would not be easy to fight, and the price they paid would be much higher.

The Tianzhu King had more than 30,000 troops, and the Fuqi City defenders were four or five thousand. The Su Dingfang and Wang Yi had only five thousand troops. The Li Daozong tribe on the left, the Xue brothers tribe, and the Li Jing and the Xue Orphan tribe behind were more than 100 miles away from them.

Although the total number of troops in the army that advanced into Fuqi City was not at a disadvantage compared with the Tuyuhun forces defending this area, the fastest-running team led by Su Dingfang and Wang Yi was obviously at a disadvantage compared with the Tuyuhun people.

When a small army encounters a large army, the best way to win is a surprise attack.

If there is a surprise attack, no one is willing to fight a tough battle with the enemy. Of course, Wang Yi also hopes that their troops will advance near Fuqi City, and the Tuyuhun people will surrender immediately and not fight. But is all this possible now?

The Tuyuhun people have such a means to detect the whereabouts of our army? When Wang Yi thought of these, he also asked himself that this is not very likely, but if something unusual happens, it cannot be used to infer based on common sense.

After carefully analyzing the situation reported by the scout, Wang Yi suddenly felt a sudden ray of heart and immediately expressed his other judgment to Su Dingfang, "Brother Dingfang, could it be that the Tianzhu King's troops left the original resident because the situation near Fuqi City changed?"

In addition to thinking about this, Wang Yi also thought, why didn’t King Murong Shun send someone to contact him? It seems that it is not right!

"There is this possibility, but the biggest possibility is that we discovered the whereabouts of our army and made a response." Su Dingfang frowned and thought for a while, as if he had an idea, "Chenyang, call the generals to discuss the situation immediately."

After Su Dingfang said to Wang Yi, he immediately drove his horse back, and Wang Yi quickly followed.

Soon all the generals under his command were summoned, but just as Su Dingfang was about to announce to the Lang General, the lieutenant and other chief officers below, the person who had just received the situation, Li Jing sent someone to send the emergency notification into the tent, and Su Dingfang immediately stopped talking and listened to the notice from the visitor first.

The news sent by Li Jing was both good and bad.

The good news is heavyweight. Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun was in Mantou Mountain when our army attacked Mantou Mountain and Niu Xindui. When the troops he led quickly collapsed, he fled desperately, but was bitten by the pursuing Hou Junji tribe. The few remaining troops were chased by our army for half a day and had no way to escape. Murong Fuyun was unwilling to surrender, but was killed by his generals.

Murong Fuyun's subordinates presented the head of the former Tuyuhun Khan and asked for surrender to our army. More than a dozen famous kings under Murong Fuyun, including Gaochang King Murong Xiaojun, were all captured except a few of them.

When Wang Yi received the news, he was very depressed. He did not expect that Murong Fuyun, the Tuyuhun Khan, who could also be considered a hero, lost his life in a daze shortly after the war was going on, and he died not at all heroic, and it was a bit worthless for him.

But almost all Tuyuhun tribes in the southeastern Qinghai were removed, which is the result that everyone hopes to see.

The bad news is exactly the same as historical records, which is what happened to Li Daoyan and Gao Zengsheng, the brothers in distress.

The notice from Li Jing said that the Qiang people in Taozhou were bewitched by the Tuyuhun people and rebelled, killing the governor of Taozhou Kong Changxiu, and attached to Tuyuhun. Gao Zongsheng's troops launched an attack on the Qiang in Taozhou. After several days of battle, they defeated the rebel Qiang, but Gao Zongsheng's troops suffered a great loss, and they may encounter strong enemies again, retreat to Taozhou City, defended the city and did not dare to move forward again.

The Li Daoyan tribe in Minzhou did not strictly implement Li Jing's military orders, and did not hesitate to violate the agreement that Li Jing and Dangxiang chief Tuoba Chici did not invade each other before the war. Seeing that the Dangxiang people were not prepared, they took the opportunity to attack the Qiang people who were traveling through the local area and seized their cattle and sheep. As a result, they were jointly attacked by the Qiang tribes, with heavy losses, more than 10,000 people were lost, and countless supplies, food and supplies were forced to retreat to Songzhou.

When Li Jing set out from Chang'an, he sent an envoy to win over the former chief of the Dangxiang, Tuoba Chici, who had been in contact with him, hoping to use the power of this respected Chief of the Dangxiang to bring convenience to our army to attack the Tuyuhun people. Tuoba Chici, because Li Jing had been kind to him and the temptation of the heavy money, promised Li Jing that he would help our army attack the Tuyuhun people. But Li Daoyan took into account the immediate interests and destroyed this agreement. Wang Yi could imagine how angry Li Jing would be when he received such news.

These bad news surprised Su Dingfang. He knew that Li Jing's arrangement before the war was to hope that these two troops and the troops attacked from Shanzhou to attack Mantou Mountain and Niu Xindui's enemy, but now these two troops are far from reaching the target, and the plan to attack North and South failed. Fortunately, Li Jing made careful arrangements and acted decisively, and arranged most of the troops to attack Mantou Mountain and Niu Xindui's war. The generals also acted quickly, arrived at these two places at an incredible speed, launched an almost perfect attack, and launched a devastating attack on the Tuyuhun people. Otherwise, how the battle would progress was really unpredictable. At least it was impossible to completely wipe out Tuyuhun's troops in the southeast of Qinghai.

But these did not shock Wang Yi, because these were originally recorded in history.

Whether these two teams can reach the expected destination has no big impact on the battle situation in southeast Qinghai, and there is no need to consider too much. What they need to consider now is how to deal with the Tianzhu King tribe who has abnormal movements.

"Everyone, according to the situation we received, the Tuyuhun people had abnormal movements," Su Dingfang roughly reported the information they received, and then said, "But I think that Tuyuhun did not discover our army, but there might be any abnormal movements in Fuqi City. Otherwise, Tuyuhun would not be able to return to Fuqi City to defend him. Instead, he would take the lead in attacking our army when our army was alone and unfamiliar with the terrain. Therefore, I believe that this is the best time for our army to launch a sudden attack on the Tuyuhun people. I passed the order of this general and the army set off overnight and headed towards Fuqi City."

After Su Dingfang compiled some of the information he received and thought about it carefully for a while, he recognized Wang Yi's speculation, believing that this was just a coincidence, not a response method made by the Tuyuhun people to discover the whereabouts of our army.

There is no danger in the area of ​​Fuqi City, and Tuyuhun is not good at defending and sieging the city. Like other nomadic peoples, they are best at raids and mobile warfare. If they find out the whereabouts of our army, they will definitely launch an attack or escape first.

When Su Dingfang said this, he exchanged a look with Wang Yi. From Wang Yi's eyes, Su Dingfang also understood Wang Yi's recognition of his arrangements, and now he carefully explained his next plan.

Our army advanced rapidly overnight, trying to attack the Tuyuhun people as soon as possible, taking advantage of the suddenness of our army's actions, and taking advantage of the good opportunity of high morale when the morale is rising when the victory of our army, and striving to fight another beautiful battle.

After listening to Su Dingfang's arrangements, Wang Yi had to admire Su Dingfang's meticulous and bold behavior, and raised five thousand troops to attack Tuyuhun's 30,000 to 40,000 people. Although it was very risky, Su Dingfang had already prevented all the dangers that could be considered. In addition, our absolute strength this time was not large, at least more than Su Dingfang led his army to attack Jie Li's tent, and the combat effectiveness of the Turks was far higher than that of Tuyuhun's people. Wang Yi could understand that Su Dingfang had definitely not hesitated or feared when making such an arrangement.

Su Dingfang's way of doing things is different from Li Jing. When Li Jing convened the generals to discuss military affairs, he would first ask the generals for their opinions, but Su Dingfang directly announced his decision and did not even discuss it with Wang Yi in detail.

Wang Yi could also understand that in an emergency, Su Dingfang made such a decision and had his own reasons. Before leaving Li Jing, the old general had ordered that Su Dingfang's opinions should be the main focus and Wang Yi would obey. Judging from today's situation, Li Jing still has a good understanding of Su Dingfang.

After hearing Su Dingfang's arrangements, the generals immediately went to prepare for the camp.

Wang Yi stayed and continued to discuss the details of the march and combat with Su Dingfang, because Su Dingfang's arrangement was that they led 5,000 troops together to launch an attack on the Tuyuhun people, and the two of them had to discuss the specific actions.

Just as they were discussing and preparing for their own preparations, the sergeant outside the tent came in to report, saying that several scouts had just returned and brought several Tuyuhun people, and they had to report important situations.

Wang Yi and Su Dingfang looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. A burst of ecstasy surged in Wang Yi's heart. He rushed in front of Su Dingfang and immediately ordered the soldiers to bring in. Seeing Wang Yi like this, Su Dingfang glanced at him and didn't care.

A scammer who looked like a captain stepped forward to salute Su Dingfang and Wang Yi, "Report to General Su, General Wang, and his subordinates captured several Tuyuhun scammers. They said they were ordered by the King of Da Ning and wanted to meet General Li!"

A Tuyuhun man followed him up and politely greeted Su Dingfang and Wang Yi, saying in fluent Chinese language: "Two generals, we are under the order of King Daning. If there are important situations, we need to discuss with General Manager Li. Please ask the two generals to send us to General Manager Li quickly!"

"The envoy of King Daning Murong Shun?"...
