Bai Xiufeng and Lu Dayong are old foxes mixed on the Tangtu border. If the two of them are determined to join forces to cheat the Tubo people, it will be a sure thing.

On the night when the two armies met, a team of thousands of people came outside Moli Post and shouted to the Tubo garrison who had temporarily taken over, asking to open the city gate and let them go to the post for rest.

It was dark outside, and the defenders on the front of the city could only vaguely see five or six hundred Tubo cavalry escorting six or seven hundred Han people under the city. They thought that the troops who went out to fight in the morning had won the battle and returned.

After some inquiries, the troops outside the city could answer questions and clearly stated the joint codes at night, especially the reasons given by the outside of the city made the defenders at the city feel credible.

The person who answered outside the city said that they chased the enemy for nearly a hundred miles, and encountered an ambush from the Tang army. However, because their soldiers were even more fierce, they not only defeated the ambushed Tang army, but also captured six or seven hundred prisoners of the Tang army alive. Unfortunately, most of the leaders of the Tubo led the team to fight died in battle, which was also a great injury this time. Because they were worried that there would be Tang army nearby, the remaining Tubo soldiers retreated overnight, intending to hide in Moli's post first and then make plans.

Some of the Tubo people under the city were genuine, but most of them were naturally dressed in Tang army. Nearly a thousand Tubo cavalry died, and some were bloody clothes that were easy to strip. The effect was even more realistic when worn on the impersonated Tang army, as if they had really encountered a fierce battle.

More than 100 Tubo prisoners who were held hostage to be extras in the team were secretly tied up, and they were also threatened naked before coming. Even though they were anxious at this time, they could not speak out to warn the friendly forces on the city wall.

After watching the various spoils raised by the brothers under the city, the Tubo soldiers were so jealous that they suddenly heard a large number of troops in the distance holding torches to approach the post station, so they quickly opened the post station and let the troops outside the city come in.

At this moment, the Tubo people have attracted wolves into the house.

The troops approaching the post station in the distance were naturally the Tang army. But they did not come to pursue the Tubo people, but as the supporters of the Tang army who were mixed into the post station, they came to cooperate with their brothers inside and outside.

Although there were 5,000 Tubo troops stationed in Moliyi, they suffered a great loss in a night attack designed by Bai Xiufeng and Lu Dayong. After a panic resistance, they all fled south.

In this battle, the Tang army won a great victory, not only successfully captured Moliyi, but also wiped out more than 2,000 main forces of Tubo, captured more than 800 prisoners alive, allowing less than 40% of the Tubo people to escape.

Bai Xiufeng, who was addicted to winning the battle, had already left Guo Yingyi's order behind him. He decided to lead his troops to continue to operate near Moliyi, cooperate with Lu Dayong and his unit guarding the post to continue fighting against the Tubo people, and continued to use various shameless and vulgar means to erode the small troops of the Tubo people.

The five troops launched in Suirong City, except for Jia Erlong's 700 men who have not yet taken over the enemy, the other four troops have completed the booked tasks.

Jia Erlong was leading his troops to hide on an unknown hill in the northwest of Qinghai Lake. He worked hard to fight against the flies and mosquitoes on the summer fields.

Perhaps the news that the Hexi army invaded south of the Qilian Mountains has spread now, and perhaps the news that the Baishui army had attacked Xincheng had leaked. Anyway, the Tubo people turned into frightened birds north of Qinghai Lake and on the vast territory south of the Qilian Mountains. They all thought of moving closer to Fuqi City where the Tubo Qinghai Jiedushi Qilixu was, gathering the troops first, and then launching a counterattack against the bold Tang army.

So, Jia Erlong, who was hiding on the hill, finally became busy.

Every night, Jia Erlong had to lead his troops to pretend to be an army of thousands of people, make a lot of noise in the field, and then scare the scattered Tubo tribes that were originally planned to go south to Fuqicheng to the west. When encountering that kind of tribe that is ignorant of life and death, Jia Erlong had to play the role of a butcher and take his brothers to fight them hard.

After a few days, at least dozens of tribes of all sizes were beaten and frightened by Jia Erlong, which could have relieved a lot of pressure on Shuhan, the defender of Fuqi City.

Not long after, Zhou Chengye, who had arrived in Fuqi City successfully, finally sent someone to contact Jia Erlong, so Jia Erlong's army could finally feed mosquitoes in the wilderness. Under the guidance of the visitor, they quickly moved closer to Fuqi City and arrived safely in the city three days later.

As a result, Fuqicheng, which was originally tight, suddenly had a Tang army with a mixed cavalry and infantry garrison, and the pressure on defense was reduced a lot.

Before the Tubo army counterattacked, Zhou Chengye personally directed the Tang army and Tuyuhun people in the city to strengthen the city defense, repair the bombed north gate, and sent several messengers to the west to find traces of other Tang troops, and guide them to move closer to Fuqi City.

From the beginning of the operation, Zhou Chengye's goal was to seize Fuqi City before the other armies in Shanzhou took action and capture Qilixu's first contribution. Therefore, after these established goals were achieved, he needed to use Fuqi City as bait to attract the Tubo people to siege, and then several Tang troops rushed to siege the Tubo people against the counter-encirclement, thereby solving the main force of Tubo stationed in Qinghai.

A few days later, the five thousand defeated troops of Dapulen, who were blocked by Nan Jiyun in Meng Valley, saw that the food and grass were cut off, so they turned around and retreated to the north of Meng Valley, and then sent an envoy to surrender to the Hexi Army commander Cui Xiyi.

When Cui Xiyi learned that there was an extremely powerful friendly army at the southern end of Menggu that had set up an ambush in advance and completely cut off Dapulen's journey to the south, he was also shocked. So he sent troops to guard the surrendered Tubo troops, and sent horses to cross Menggu to find out where this army that defeated the Tubo people as if they had seen the devil.

When Nan Jiyun learned that Dapu Lengning wanted to surrender to Cui Xiyi and not provoke him, he kept slapped his thigh, regretting that he was only concerned about his pleasure when the two sides fought a few days ago, but forgot to keep some backstops, which completely scared the Tubo people.

Nan Jiyun then only brought a few personal soldiers and went through Menggu to meet Cui Xiyi.

When Cui Xiyi learned that Nan Jiyun had only led 800 infantry, he killed more than 2,000 elite cavalry in Tubo and captured more than 500 prisoners. However, his own casualties were only more than 100, and his face changed at that time.

Nan Jiyun didn't care whether Cui Xiyi was surprised or not. He came here to ask Cui Xiyi for the spoils. After all, the sniper battle was fought by the Sui Rong army, and in the end, Da Pulen surrendered to the Hexi army because he was afraid of the ruthlessness of the Sui Rong army.

Cui Xiyi admired the young general in front of him, who was like a newborn calf. In addition, he did not want to take all his credit on the Hexi army, so he painfully agreed to Nan Jiyun's request and distributed half of the seized spoils to Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun didn't have much hope at first, but he didn't expect that Old Man Cui was a gentleman who was not only kind, but also really paid half of the dividends with him, an infamous little shrimp. So he said a few more words to Cui Xiyi and revealed Zhou Chengye's crazy plan this time to Cui Xiyi.

Cui Xiyi, who had been surprised several times in a row, heard that Zhou Chengye had only sent 750 cavalry to capture Fuqi City and wanted to capture Qili Xu alive. He sat blankly in the position of commander. He had been doing a long time and didn't know what to say to Nan Jiyun.

At this moment, the commander of the Baishui Army, Wang Zhongsi, who had led his army to capture Xincheng, sent a deputy general to visit Cui Xiyi.

Wang Zhongsi was still under Cui Xiyi's command last year. He also respected the elder in the army very much. This time, he happened to overlap with Cui Xiyi's direction of march, so he sent someone to discuss with Cui Xiyi and determined the next plan to join forces to march westward.

After seeing Cui Xiyi, the deputy general reported to Cui Xiyi about the progress of the Baishui army since its war, and then mentioned that Wang Zhongsi had just received a secret security from Zhou Chengye, the chief general of the Suirong Army, claiming that the Suirong Army had now cut off the retreat of the Tubo army in the Hemenshui area to the south and occupied Moliyi. Most importantly, Zhou Chengye claimed that he was now in Fuqi City, and that Qilixu, the governor of Tubo to Qinghai, had been captured alive by him!

The words of this deputy general happened to indirectly confirm that what Nan Jiyun said just now was correct.

Cui Xiyi sighed helplessly and said, "This Tuesday is so bold! He is going to provoke a full-scale war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo!"

Nan Jiyun said indifferently: "My General Zhou once arrived in Suirong City, he repeatedly emphasized to his brothers that he believed that once Tubo seized Dabolu, he would definitely launch troops in Chiling in the future, occupy the dangerous terrain of Shibao City, and then wait for an opportunity to invade the land of Longyou to the east."

"Tubo has never been a country of gentlemen, but ambitions of jackals. When they see the Tang Dynasty strong, they will naturally pretend to be respectful. But if the opportunity is right, they will tear off the hypocritical mask without hesitation and bite us hard."

"Why do we always defend and not take the initiative to attack against such a wolf-like neighbor? Is it just because a ceasefire agreement that only binds our hands and feet? My general takes action before you send troops this time, isn't it a bad reputation for taking the initiative to start a war for the general!"

After saying these words, Nan Jiyun ignored Cui Xiyi's face and left the commander's tent directly. Then he found the quarantine officer who was in charge of the war horses of the Hexi Army. He asked the other party for three thousand war horses without hesitation. He also asked the Hexi Army to send 300 cavalrymen to drive the war horses into Menggu until he was sent to the place where the Niuxindui Suirong Army was stationed.

After Nan Jiyun left for a long time, Cui Xiyi finally made up his mind and said to the deputy general sent by Wang Zhongsi: "Go back and report to General Wang immediately, and say that the Hexi army is about to set off the camp and advance towards Fuqi City. If the Baishui Army still wants to make contributions, then hurry up and follow our army. It won't take long to have a shocking battle in the Fuqi City area!"
