Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Lao Fuyun fled to Tulunchuan and Murong Shun was murdered in Tuyuhun

The characteristics of foreigners are more obvious, their complexion is much paler than that of ordinary Central Plains people, their beards are curly, their eyes are black and yellow, and they have a handsome figure. The soldiers of Tuyuhun refused to let go of this opportunity for revenge, and began to shout about their dissatisfaction.Indeed, they don't understand why the Turkic people would help the Tang Dynasty people to fight, and they worked so hard.They only guessed that Li Shimin might be very good at rewarding, but they never guessed that Qibi Heli, the left leader general, and Li Shimin were not just subordinates.

How do you understand that an emperor of the Tang Dynasty would trust me so much in a person who is called a descendant of the Huns?How can you understand the loyalty of a subordinate to an emperor who can say and do it, and cares for his subordinates?You will not understand. Under the leadership of Qibi Heli, the first aid team of hundreds of people broke through the encirclement.Qi Bi He Li's eyes were shattered, and he relied on the bravery of the elite to fight his way out and rescue the two Xue brothers.At this time, the follow-up army led by Li Jing finally arrived.These heavily armed soldiers and horses pressed forward and launched a counterattack against Tuyuhun, with obvious results.

The situation began to change, and from the change to a one-sided massacre. The Tuyuhun army who fled in all directions began to wonder where to run. Li Jing, on the other hand, began to consider the next deployment. A more depressing situation happened, that is, no matter whether it was the North Road or the South Road, no one could find Fu Yun.The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army looked at Li Jing, Li Jing waved his hands and remained silent.After a long time, he looked at the distant world to the west and ordered: "All the armies rushed along the river towards Qiemo, forming a north-south formation to block Fu Yun's way to the west!"

Walking through the Qaidam Basin and reaching the southeastern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, this is the destination of this trip.Li Jing, why are you so sure of Fu Yun's whereabouts? This is a dangerous attempt. For such an impromptu decision, the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche first jumped out to object. The reason was that Tuyuhun had been cornered and there was nothing anyone could do if they caught up with him.However, Qibi Heli, a Turkic who had rescued the two brothers of the Xue family, advocated to take advantage of the victory to pursue them. The reason was that Tuyuhun had no city walls, and they migrated with the water and grass.

Li Jing, what do you think? Under Xue Wanjun's helpless eyes, Li Jing sent Qibi Heli to personally select more than a thousand elite cavalry, and rushed to Tulunchuan. Turon Chuan, also known as the Turon Desert, is the old name of Taklamakan. The helpless Xue Wanjun couldn't help scolding his mother, but he had to obey Li Jing's order, so he had to lead his troops to follow.This journey was really hard. In midsummer, the high temperature burned many soldiers and horses. The heat made everyone who had been excited start to complain.Xue Wanjun reined in his horse and looked at the sky, cursing and pouting.

In order to quench the army's thirst, Li Jing ordered that some emaciated horses that could not fight could be killed to drink horse blood.Many people are not happy, many people are not satisfied, only Qibi Heli, he is happy and satisfied, because he knows that if he suffers so much, the enemy will only suffer more than us, they are not only themselves, but also bring their families mouth.As he expected, when he found Fu Yun, Fu Yun's troops were panting heavily, like stray dogs that had been overheated. "Let's fight, before they find out!" Li Jing valued Qibi Heli the most, and this time he beat Fuyun, he still used him.

According to the situation, Qibi Heli attacked with his troops, and a very refreshing large-scale sneak attack came. The Tuyuhun people were very surprised by these sudden visitors, and when they were completely surprised, they found that they had become captives.The record of beheading thousands of levels and obtaining more than 200,000 miscellaneous animals made Qibi Heli give Li Jing a satisfactory answer.But there is still something unsatisfactory, that is - Fu Yun ran away again.Li Jing learned of Fu Yun's whereabouts through the emergency report. Now that Fu Yun has run away again, where can I find him?

Murong Fuyun should really have a nickname, "Murong Paopao". Murong Fuyun even thought that after arriving in Khotan, relying on his cronies, he could still earn an official position.In short, the most important thing is to survive first, so as to keep the green hills, there is no need to worry about no firewood.When the Tang army retreats in the future, Tuyuhun will still be his obedience. At this moment, Xue Wanjun began to sincerely hope that Fu Yun would run away quickly. He was the one who complained just now, but now that he has gained something, he is also the one who is watching the joke. He hopes that Qibi Heli has no credit.The joyous thing came soon, Hou Junji's South Army marched thousands of miles, marched into Xingsuchuan, arrived at Bohai, and finally successfully joined forces with Li Jing.

Murong Fuyun's life was not so easy. Thousands of soldiers ran away and only a few hundred remained.Finally, these hundreds of people also began to divide their luggage.Drifting said, senior brother, second senior brother, master was captured by monsters.Bajie said, Brother Hou, the master is almost dead, let us share the rest of the luggage.Monkey brother is the worst, he looked at the dying master, said, keeping this guy is also a disaster, it is better to kill him. Everyone agreed, so, under hundreds of swords, Comrade Fu Yun died honorably at an unknown age. After dividing the luggage, hundreds of cronies fled in all directions.

There was turmoil in Tuyuhun, and the king died. Everyone pointed the finger at King Tianzhu, the power minister who often made bad ideas. The country was ruined and the family was destroyed. New and old grudges were counted together. Everyone worked together to attribute all the crimes to King Tianzhu.A generation of power ministers, King Tianzhu, was indeed not wronged at all. At this moment, he is in a state of panic all day long.Think about it, Tuyuhun is ruined, if he asks the Tang Dynasty to surrender, what will he use to show his heart?Of course it is Tianzhu King.Therefore, the Tianzhu King must die.

Tuyuhun beheaded Tianzhu King in court, and the whole country came to surrender. Everything should be quiet, but the Murong family did not give up. Murong Fuyun's son, Murong Shun, was the nephew of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, in order to maintain peace, the prince Murong Shun was taken as a hostage to the Sui Dynasty.Murong Shun was unable to return to China during the Sui Dynasty, and his father, Murong Fuyun, was unable to reconcile the crown prince dispute in Tuyuhun, so he finally gave the crown prince to other children. A sad thing happened. After Murong Shun returned to Tuyuhun, he was very unhappy when he learned of this, and he spent all day thinking about how to regain his throne.Fortunately, a few years later, the Tang army defeated Tuyuhun, and the Tuyuhun group had no leader. Everyone embraced Murong Shun as Khan, and his little wish was fulfilled.The specific operator who killed Tianzhu King was Murong Shun, so this person who was not the prince directly became the leader of Tuyuhun, what a retribution! However, what is more depressing is that Tuyuhun no longer exists.This is a very serious matter. If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, whether you are a king or not depends on others. Li Shimin gave Tuyuhun and Murongshun enough face. On the third day after Li Jing defeated Tuyuhun, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to restore the land of Tuyuhun, made Murong Shun the king of Xiping County, and named Gandou Khan.Gandou Khan Kuang Fu Tuyuhun Khanate, he should also have a famous name - Murong Fu.Gan Dou Khan suddenly became a Khan, and everyone refused to accept it.In order to convince everyone, Gan Dou decided to ask Li Shimin for help.Li Shimin promised to help and let Li Daliang lead the troops to support and destroy those who tried to fight for the Khan position. So, after Li Daliang withdrew his troops, what would happen next? Yes, you guessed it right again. As expected, Gandou Khan was killed by the power struggle faction, and the powerful officials appointed his son Yan Wang Nuohebo as the new Khan.This made it clear that Li Shimin would not face Li Shimin. In December, Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to lead an army to take care of them, and the crowd was flattened. In this battle against Tuyuhun, everyone showed great determination and perseverance, especially Li Jing, who contributed a lot, and Li Shimin was very moved. Li Jing, who deserved to be rewarded heavily, did not receive courtesy from others after returning to the court, but was framed again. People finally understood why Li Jing was unwilling to lead troops to fight again. In general, Li Jing's defeat of Tuyuhun was a great achievement no matter what. But on some small issues, they inevitably fell into a contradictory situation. First of all, some people accused Li Jing of bribing the Dangxiang tribe with a lot of money before the attack.The complete story goes like this: the party members were familiar with the terrain of Tuyuhun, and Li Jing bribed them to be guides.Their chief, Tuoba Chici, heard Li Jing's call, and went to the Tang army camp to have a discussion with the generals.First ask some words that don't hurt or itch, and then discuss how shameless Tuyuhun is, their messengers are all sticks and hammers. Finally, Tuoba Chici patted his chest and said with righteous indignation: "The Sui Dynasty had no faith and robbed our family. If the generals think highly of me Tuoba Chici, I, Tuoba Chici, are willing to subsidize Wanshi's grain; but if you treat us the same way as the Sui Dynasty, I will lead an army to block the Dao, so that you cannot attack." Hearing this, all the generals shouted heroically, nodded their agreement immediately, and made an oath of eternal alliance with Tuoba Chi. Tuoba Chici returned to the original station contentedly.He herded horses and herded sheep, just waiting to supply the Tang army with food and grass for combat. This is what Li Jing wanted after spending so much money bribing the party. But all of this was messed up by Comrade Li Daoyan, the chief of the Chishui Road March. Li Daoyan was apparently not at that meeting, and his army marched to Kuoshui, where he was delighted to find Dangxiang's tribe grazing leisurely there.Overjoyed, he even led the army to kill him happily.Li Daoyan snatched thousands of cattle and sheep from the unsuspecting party, and people were killed everywhere.The Qiangs were resentful and began to garrison Yehu Gorge on a large scale, blocking Li Daoyan's approach. Li Daoyan was unable to march and was in a hurry to get angry when suddenly a group of people came from behind and fueled him.After analysis, Li Daoyan knew that this was the troops led by Tuoba Chici, and they attacked him from behind.Li Daoyan turned around to fight, but he was killed by others, causing chaos and tens of thousands of people died.Seeing that the army in his hand was beaten into loose sand, Li Daoyan had no power to recover, so he could only retreat to Songzhou, speechless. The actions of his subordinates offended Dang Xiang, and Li Jing's march was severely hindered. What a big misunderstanding. One Li Daoyan is enough trouble, but the next man is even more troublesome.General Zuo Xiaowei Comrade Fan Xing, his nickname should be "Fan Molo". This person's combat characteristics are extremely obvious, and the word "delay" was born specifically for him.After receiving Li Jing's order to march within three days, he did not move for ten days.Comrade Momo missed the opportunity, lost the advantage of marching, and was eaten by the enemy alive and killed countless soldiers.In addition, Comrade Fan Xing's army management is the worst among all the ways. Many soldiers ran away because of his poor army management. These two should be executed according to the law, but Li Daoyan is the son of Li Shentong. Li Daoyan is Li Shimin's brother, and he has made a lot of military exploits before.He is a very filial person, even Li Shimin was moved by him.When Li Yuan raised troops, Li Shentong was also wanted because he was the son of Li Yuan's eighth uncle.Hiding in the mountains, he had nothing to eat, so he asked Li Daoyan to go out to find something to eat.The remote village, the mountains, the forests and the wild land, without even a family, Li Daoyan didn't want to return empty-handed. The child was still smart, so he picked some wild fruits and went back to feed his father. Li Shentong asked Li Daoyan to eat first, but Li Daoyan refused to obey him, saying that his father would not eat the baby if he did not eat it.The story of the father and son was later passed on as a good story. In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), Li Shentong passed away. The filial son Li Daoyan resigned from his official position and carried soil to his father's grave. He carried pine and cypress logs by himself, built a firewood hut, and didn't think about eating and drinking, so even his relatives and friends didn't recognize him.Li Shimin admired Li Daoyan's filial piety, and issued an imperial edict to Wang Gui, the attendant. In fact, even if Li Daoyan is not Li Shentong's child, and he is not so virtuous, he will not die. After all, in the battle against Tuyuhun, more soldiers died under Dangxiang than in Tuyuhun, but it cannot be denied that this was a great victory.Li Shimin couldn't bear to kill them, so as to save them from death, they fled to the border.Li Jing's failures in the march were infinitely magnified, but Li Jing has been calmly accepting everyone's accusations.On the way back to the army, the reward envoys sent by the imperial court saw Li Jing and several generals. The brave ones waited for the narrative slowly, and the shameless ones started to report their merits first. Among them, the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are the most shameless.
