This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 417 Volume [-] Only Benefits Are Eternal!
Leaving aside what happened in Chang'an, he turned his attention back to Water River County.

Ever since Murong Fuyun found out that there might be traitors around him, he started attacking Qibiming's Tiger and Leopard Camp frantically.

He wanted to win Qi Biming as quickly as possible to achieve the strategic goal of joining forces with Tuoba Zhao.

It stands to reason that his subordinates are several times larger than Qi Biming's, not to mention completely annihilating Qi Biming's Tiger and Leopard Battalion, but it is not a big problem if he really wants to achieve the strategic goal of joining forces with Tuoba Zhao.

Especially when he chooses to put all his eggs in one basket.

After all, the superiority of military strength is there.

But at this time, his paranoia struck again.

He doesn't know who betrayed him, and everyone looks like a ghost, which makes him suspicious when he does things.

In his position, suspicion is inevitable.

If there is no suspicion at all, 80.00% of the kings under the sun will not live long.

After all, the allure of that position is simply too great.

But when it comes to this, many people are curious.

Since Murong Fuyun was able to join forces with Tuoba Zhao early in the morning, why didn't he put all his eggs in one basket at the beginning?
At that time, he hadn't suspected that there was a traitor among his subordinates.

Actually this is normal.

Desperation means heavy casualties.

At first, he was unwilling to do so, because he wanted to preserve his own strength.

Now that the situation in Tuyuhun has changed suddenly, Tuobazhao has to be on his guard.

Over the past year, he has experienced too many betrayals. If he really wants to say who he trusts 100%, hehe, he doesn't have any.

Whether it is Tuoba Zhao or King Dingcheng, even his son Dayan Mang Jiebo, trust is limited.

Besides, it is not a bad thing for him to continue to drag on the previous battle situation.

At least his side still has the upper hand. As for Tuoba Zhao's side, he knows the situation. Although it is very stalemate, he will not lose for a while.

It would be beneficial for him to balance the various departments of Tuyuhun in the future by consuming the strength of Tuoba Zhao's troops.

He didn't want another Tianzhu King or Gaochang King to appear again.

Sometimes, the strategic purpose is not only external, but also internal.

Strictly speaking, Murong Fuyun really didn't take Li Chengqian seriously.

In his words, if he hadn't been afraid of Datang, little Li Chengqian could have been destroyed with a snap of his fingers.

But since the troops were mobilized, he naturally wanted to obtain the greatest benefit.

This is similar to the three conquests of Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Borrow external power to help him consolidate internal rule.

From this point of view, what Murong Fuyun did was actually right.

It's just that many things don't follow his plan step by step.

Especially when King Qiuci failed to enter Hezhou, and King Dingcheng and Dayan Mang fell for it, many things went beyond his expectations.

Coupled with the disturbance of ghosts, Murong Fuyun is also one of the first two recently.

Sometimes, he even wondered if he was old.

"Khan, why don't you just press the whole army up." In the camp, a subordinate said.

Murong Fuyun's tens of thousands of subordinates are divided into four battalions and one guard.

Yiwei is naturally his personal guard, totaling more than ten thousand people.

The remaining four battalions also have about 1 people each.

Except for the more than ten thousand people who fought fiercely with Tumenluo's lone wolf cavalry in the rear, the rest of the soldiers and horses were here.

But Murong Fuyun is really suspicious.

When he found out that the battalion of soldiers who fought fiercely with Tumonro in the rear was not retreating, he transferred it back on the grounds that the battalion had suffered too many casualties.

At this time, those who are willing to fight to the death for him are definitely loyal to him, and this kind of person should naturally be arranged by his side.

And when he was fighting Qi Biming's lone wolf cavalry, he came up with another method.

That is, each battalion only sends out half of the soldiers and horses every time they attack. It is called rotation in the pretense, but it is actually a precaution.

He was also afraid of driving the dog into a poor alley, and some of his subordinates would really turn against him.

In this way, no matter who has a problem, he still has a little energy to spare.

It can only be said that the elderly Murong Fuyun is indeed a little bit powerless, or rather, he is afraid of death.

But this is also normal, as the saying goes, it is better to live than to die.

Immersed in the pinnacle of power for a long time, how many people are not afraid of death?
At this moment, hearing what his subordinates said, Murong Fuyun turned his head and glanced at him, and said after a long time: "Don't worry, Qibi will have [-] soldiers and horses, we will grind them slowly to death."

His subordinates were also speechless.

Of course he knows that this is the best strategy, but Murong Fuyun has been too fickle recently.

At the beginning, he said to fight Monroe, but in the end, he changed his target when things came to an end.

It's okay to change the target, and in the end even the style of play has changed.

He doesn't even know what Murong Fuyun's plans are going to be next.

This made him very powerless, thinking of all the things in the past year, and Murong Fuyun's behavior, he still didn't know why.

He couldn't explain it clearly.

"Great Khan, Ashina Chuli has led the army to the south, and is now in the area of ​​Dafei Mountain." At this moment, a personal soldier came to report.

"So fast." Murong Fuyun was a little surprised when he heard that Ashina Chuli had arrived at Dafei Mountain, and asked, "Where is the messenger?"

Although Qibi Heli made Qibihai's Tie Yingwei block the only way to Dafei Mountain, but Tuyuhun is so big, and Dafei Mountain is not the only road, how could Qibi Heli block it.

"It's just outside the tent," said the soldier.

Murong Fuyun thought for a while and said, "Bring it in."

Not long after, Ashina's powerful messenger was brought to Murong Fuyun's big tent.

"Foreign ministers see the Great Khan."

Murong Fuyun looked at the messenger, and then said: "Khan Siyehu is doing well recently."

"Khan Lao is thinking about it." The messenger said with a smile, "My Khan is fine. Before coming, Khan asked Wei Chen to take him to say hello."

Nodding his head, Murong Fuyun said again: "Did you encounter the Hezhou defenders led by Niu Jinda on your way south?"

"Responding to Da Khan's words." The messenger said, "We went south without stopping, but we didn't meet the Tang army led by Niu Jinda."

Hearing what he said, Murong Fuyun fell silent.

It shouldn't be, so many of you are crossing the state and government in Tuyuhun, so there is no way Niu Jinda didn't know about such a big movement.

Moreover, it is impossible for Niu Jinda not to suspect that your Western Turkic soldiers and horses suddenly entered Tuyuhun.

How could he let them go south so smoothly?
He was already suspicious, but this time, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

"When you come here this time, what can Siyehu Khan say?" After pondering for a while, Murong Fuyun asked again.

"The foreign minister came here this time mainly because my Khan asked the foreign minister to ask the Great Khan, is now the best time to send troops?"

Shaking his head, Murong Fuyun said: "Don't be in a hurry for now, wait a little longer, when the time comes, Ben Khan will send someone to notify you.

Presumably you all know that Datang has already dispatched troops. Although it is only the defenders of Hezhou, Ben Khan is still studying the specific situation.

After all, no one wants to compete with Datang at this juncture, right? "

The messenger nodded.

It was precisely because of this reason that Ashinari sent him here.

This battle can be fought, but the premise that it can be fought is that Datang has no time to take care of this side.

If Datang also got involved, it would be fine for Tuyuhun, but it would be a ticking time bomb for him.

Because he still has a strong enemy in the Western Turks!
"The foreign minister understands, so go back and report to my Khan." After the messenger finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Murong Fuyun nodded, and said: "Then it will be your duty."

As soon as the messenger left, one of his subordinates asked suspiciously: "Khan, why don't you let Ashina force continue to march south?
If they come to help, they will be sure to take down Qibi Heli's Zhengxi army within a day! "

Murong Fuyun smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you 100% sure that they are here to support us?"

As soon as he said this, everyone shut up.

"Where are the coalition forces from the Western Regions?" Murong Fuyun ignored them, but asked.

Immediately, one person replied: "Back to the Great Khan, at most one day, he will reach Dafei Mountain."

"Then wait another day." Obviously, he didn't trust Ashinari.

In the end, it was the countries in the Western Regions that convinced him more. There was no way, there was an irreconcilable conflict between them and Li Chengqian, which no one could solve.

As for Ashina, this person has too many variables, and he is unwilling to gamble.

"Let Dafei Mountain keep an eye on Ashina's strength, and before the allied forces from the Western Regions arrive, they must not be allowed to go south, understand." After pondering for a while, Murong Fuyun gave another order.

For him, the reason why he wanted to bring so many people into the water this time was not just to deal with Li Chengqian.

To be honest, dealing with Li Chengqian is really useless to mobilize the crowd so much.

He just used this as a cover to restore Tuyuhun's past glory.

This is indeed a rare opportunity for him.

If done properly, he would have the opportunity to create a superpower comparable to Datang.

……

On the other side, Tuyuhun and Niu Jinda were really busy.

(Originally there was a chapter about them fighting in Tuyuhun, but it was gone...)
This time he went west, Li Chengqian didn't give him a clear mission, so he just explained a few words casually.

Others have a relatively high degree of freedom.

As for rescuing the family members of Tumenluo and others, it is enough to do it, not to say that it must be done.

There were less than 1 of them, and they entered the hinterland of Tuyuhun. If they really wanted to save lives, that would be nonsense.

But this matter, as long as they do it, no matter what the final result is, Tomonro and others will never have any opinions.

Because they did!

Speaking of this matter, it was Li Chengqian's tricks.

"General, an army of tens of thousands of people has been found going south."

Just as Niu Jinda and a group of soldiers were studying what to do next, a scout came to report.

"Who?" Niu Jinda raised his head and asked.

"It's hard to say who they are. Anyway, they are not from Tuyuhun. Judging by their attire, they should be from the Western Regions."

Hearing what the scouts said, someone wondered, "What's the situation? Yesterday was the army of the Western Turks going south, and today it's the army of the Western Regions. What the hell is Murong Fuyun doing?"

"Hmph, today's Tuyuhun is simply messed up.

It's the Western Turks again, it's our Tang army again, and there's Ming's army to the south, and now the troops from the Western Regions are also here, are they going to stage a six-nation grand seal? "

Niu Jinda was also surprised, but quickly shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with us."

"General." Hearing what Niu Jinda said, the guard of the Hezhou garrison said, "It is very likely that they went south to support Murong Fuyun, so we really don't do anything?

It's okay to let the Western Turks go south, but if the people from the Western Regions are allowed to go south, His Highness may be in danger. "

"It doesn't matter, they have tens of thousands of troops, but we don't have [-] soldiers, so what can we do to fight them?" Niu Jinda said, "There was no order for us to stop them in the order that the general received."

"But on the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and many things can't be strictly carried out according to the plan?" Someone said.

Although it is true that they did not receive the order, if something happened to Li Chengqian, they would not be able to absolve themselves of the blame.

At that time, under Li Er's rage, they would have nothing to eat.

At least so far, Li Chengqian is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

But Niu Jinda shook his head resolutely, and said: "Our soldiers and horses can't really change anything, if we really want to help His Highness out of the siege, it would be better to win Fucheng City.

As long as we win Fucheng City, Murong Fuyun will definitely try his best to help. "

In fact, he also wanted to stop it, but before leaving, Li Chengqian specifically explained that no matter whether he encountered the army of the Western Regions or the army of the Western Turks, he should not care about it.

Obviously, Li Chengqian had expected everything that happened today.

That's why he was surprised just now.

It's just that there are some things he can't say well.

Moreover, he also understood that Li Chengqian would not call the Hezhou defenders to help Daming out of the siege. If he really wanted to do this, it seemed that he would benefit a lot in the short term, but in the long run, it would definitely be a disaster. blessing.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of identity.

……

On the other side, Dafei Mountain.

Ashina stared intently at Piaohe County in the south, and at this moment, he actually regretted it.

If it was just to fight Daming, he would still be willing.

But he was unwilling to fight Datang.

The main reason is that the Western Turks have not yet recovered to their heyday strength, and it is still somewhat unsustainable to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Xue Yantuo has been eyeing him all the time. If he really wants to fight Datang, Xue Yantuo will definitely take the opportunity to nibble at him, which is inevitable.

Such a result was not what he wanted to see.

"Big Khan." Just as Ashina was looking to the south, one of his subordinates said, "The news from Hezhou has come. King Qiuci failed to take Hezhou."

"It's just expected." Ashina struggled to hear the words, without turning his head, and continued to maintain the original posture, "Next, we may be in trouble.

Datang, for the time being, we are not yet able to be hostile. "

"Then we are going to withdraw our troops?" the subordinate asked.

Ashina shook his head vigorously, and said: "That's not necessary, let's have a look first, who said we can only support Murong Fuyun? If the time is right, supporting King Ming and dividing Tuyuhun is also a good choice."

After speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

Looking at it now, there are still many ways for him to retreat.

Not to mention that the fight hasn't started yet, even if it does start, he can find a perfect excuse to resolve the immediate crisis.

As for the agreement.

Hehe, the most worthless thing these days is the agreement.

"Great Khan." The subordinate thought for a while and said, "The last general heard that the coalition forces from the Western Regions have also come, what exactly is Murong Fuyun doing this time?

The last general couldn't understand it. He let so many troops in, wouldn't he be afraid of some trouble? "

"Trouble?" Ashina smiled forcefully, "You don't understand, wealth and wealth are in danger, Murong Fuyun, an old bastard, actually has no good intentions, this guy is greedy."

"Not safe?"
