Tuoba Yuanju's face became serious, he no longer had the recklessness just now, and said in a deep voice: "Do you believe that this person is just an ordinary soldier? There is such a person in the Great Sui Army, Tuyuhun will be defeated, we have to remind father to prepare early !"

Before the dawn of the next day, the Tuoba Yuanju brothers and sisters paid back the money to the shop, and hurried out of the city with their horses.They grew up on horseback since they were young. They have excellent riding skills, and they are all good horses selected from thousands of miles. In addition, they are like an arrow, and they travel day and night. After four days, they returned to the tribal camp by the Tuosu Lake.

As soon as he entered the camp, Tuoba Yuanju felt the festive atmosphere around him.

"Hello, second prince, and hello, little princess." The herdsmen who passed by them all saluted them one after another, which made Tuoba Yuanju brothers and sisters a little confused.

As soon as he came to Tuoba Mumi's tent, he heard the guard outside the tent reporting loudly: "My lord, the second prince and the little princess are back!"

Tuoba Mumi came out from the tent, saw the pair of children in the world, felt distressed and relieved, said repeatedly: "Yuanju, Qianyu, you are finally back, I am still a little worried about my father."

Tuoba Qianyu's elephant-headed happy deer jumped up and down to Tuoba Mumi's side, took Tuoba Mumi's hand and asked, "Father, you are not a prince, why do they call me little princess?"

Tuoba Mumi laughed loudly and said: "It wasn't in the past, but it has been since today. Lord Fuyun sent someone here yesterday, and named his father a Dangxiang king to lead the eight departments of the party. My Tuoba department finally You can stand out!"

The Dangxiang Qiang nationality is divided into eight tribes, also known as the eight surnames of the Dangxiang, namely Xifeng, Feiting, Goli, Pochao, Yeci, Fangdang, Miqian, and Tuoba. for several small tribes.Among them, the Tuoba clan is the most powerful among the eight surnames, and Tuoba Mumi's tribe is the head of the Tuoba clan.

Even as the most prestigious leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Mumi's orders were limited to the tribes of the Tuoba clan, and the other seven surnames refused to listen to his orders.Now that Murong Fuyun has the King of the Party, he can finally start to integrate the various ministries of the Party in a legitimate way.

Tuoba Qianyu said happily: "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father!"

Tuoba Yuanju frowned and said: "Father, I'm afraid Murong Fuyun is not so kind, he must have plans."

The various ministries of the party have lived in the territory of Tuyuhun for a long time, and it is precisely because of the disunity that they have to submit to the rule of the Xianbei people.And Xianbei people's exploitation and oppression of Dangxiang has always been unabated, otherwise Tuoba Mumi would not have been thinking about enclosing the Sui Dynasty.Now that Murong Fuyun took the initiative to make Tuoba Mumi king, and at the time when the Sui army was going on a large-scale westward expedition, Tuoba Yuanju would inevitably be suspicious.However, to be suspicious is to be suspicious, unifying the various ministries of the party is also Tuoba Yuanju's ideal, and he doesn't mind calling him father.

Tuoba Mumi laughed and said: "My son is too worried, Lord Fuyun wants to marry your sister."

Tuoba Qianyu's eyes suddenly appeared Liu Ziqiu's face, and blurted out: "Father, I don't want to marry him!"

For grassland tribes, marriage is often the best way to strengthen themselves, and party members are no exception.If sacrificing a daughter can be exchanged for the unity of the Dangxiang tribe and the status of the Tuoba clan, why would Tuoba Mumi not do it.His complexion suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Qianyu, do you have a sweetheart? If not, marry Murong Fuyun, and you will be the queen of Tuyuhun. Where can you find such a good thing? If so, Please also forget about your sweetheart! As a father, you have already promised, and you cannot go back on your word!"

Intimidated by his father's majesty, Tuoba Qianyu could only pout, but did not dare to refute.

Although Tuoba Yuanju liked this younger sister the most, he also knew that now was not the time to speak for her, so he changed the subject and said, "Father, my son and younger sister went to Di Dao, although they didn't see Yang Guang, they saw Sui The army is so powerful that Murong Fuyun may find it difficult to fight the enemy!"

Tuoba Mumi said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses, as the king of the party was conferred on the father, even the Sui Lord will have to admit it!"

Tuoba Yuanju smiled and said: "It is for this reason, after my father has unified the eight departments of the party, I can ask the Sui Lord for title."

Suddenly, a knight came flying and said loudly, "My lord, the lord has sent someone again!"

Tuoba Mumi laughed loudly and said: "Haha, how can this Fu Yun know how to count, knowing that my good daughter will come back today."

But he saw a group of people approaching, and one of them sat upright on his horse, holding a command arrow, and said loudly: "The king of the country has an order, and the king of the party, Tuoba Mumi, quickly gathered the young and strong of the eight departments of the party, and got them all within three days, and went to Fuyuan Listen to the Sichuan army!"

Tuoba Mumi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xiao Wang just received the title yesterday, and he hasn't had time to communicate with the ministries. I'm afraid the ministries won't obey the order, and I hope the lord will give it a few days."

The person who came to deliver the order was a confidant of Murong Fuyun and a member of the Murong family, named Murong Han.Hearing Tuoba Mumi's words, Murong Han's face was as cold as winter, he hummed, and said: "Since the lord can make you king of Dangxiang, of course he can depose you too! Presumably in the eight departments of Dangxiang, There are many who are willing to get this title! Where to go, you can decide for yourself!"

The eight departments of the party are not united with each other, which is the sad point, and Tuoba Miya has nothing to say for a while.But I heard Murong Han say again: "By the way, I will take the princess home today, and please ask your queen and eldest prince to marry you in person!"

As soon as Tuoba Muya heard it, he understood that this was not a simple conferment of the king and marriage, but to hold his wife and children as hostages.But he still didn't dare to turn against Murong Fuyun openly, so he could only say: "I'm going to tell you, my son is sick, so it's inconvenient to travel far."

This is not a lie.Tuoba Mumi's eldest son was called Tuoba Yuanxiao, who had been sick since childhood, otherwise he would not have sent Tuoba Yuanju to Didao this time.

But Murong Han refused to listen, and shouted sharply: "As long as he is still alive, even if he lifts him, he must be carried over by me!"

Tuoba Yuanju said angrily: "What are you, dare to speak to my father like that!"

Murong Leng smiled and said: "This is the second prince? Then please marry me together!"

"Okay! Then I'll send you to see your grandma first!"

Tuoba Yuanju suddenly pulled out his waist saber, aiming at the leg of Murong Han's mount.The horse was in pain, and with a long neigh, the man stood up and threw Murong Han off the horse.Before Murong Han could get up from the ground, Tuoba Yuanju rushed forward, and another stab wounded him.Murong Han's followers were shocked and fled in all directions.At this time, Tuoba Mumi didn't care to blame his son, he whistled, and the crowd gathered, they surrounded the group of slaves, and chopped them into pieces with all their knives.

Looking at the chaos in front of him, Tuoba Mumi sighed: "Nie Zi, what a good thing you did, how will it end now?"

Tuoba Yuanju said disapprovingly: "Father, the boy met a man in Di Dao, he was a warrior in the Sui army. With the boy's skill, he can't beat him three times. With this person, Murong Fuyun will definitely lose .”

Knowing that she doesn't have to marry Murong Fuyun again, Tuoba Qianyu was even more joyful, and persuaded: "Father, calm down, brother is right, the Great Sui is unstoppable, why should our clansmen sacrifice their lives for the Xianbei people!"

Liu Ziqiu never expected that his accidental fight with Tuoba Yuanju had an unexpected harvest, which made Murong Fuyun lose a strong support.There are more than 4 Dangxiang households in Tuyuhun, and more than [-] capable fighters. If such a powerful force is united, it is enough to determine the outcome of a war.

The matter has come to this point, Tuoba Mumi has nothing to say, he can only shake his head and say: "Notify the clansman, Fang Dang, and the Pochao Er clan, to hide in the mountains first, and wait and see what happens."

……

But Yang Guang's car only stayed in Didao for a day before continuing westward, and the speed of the march suddenly accelerated.On February [-], the army left Linjin Pass and crossed the Yellow River.On February [-]th, when he arrived in Xiping, Yang Guang held a military parade in the suburbs, and rewarded the three armies with wine and food.A tense atmosphere before the war spread in the barracks, even Liu Ziqiu, who had just joined the army of the Sui Dynasty, could clearly feel it.However, only the government soldiers conscripted from various places were really affected, and the guards of the Beijing army still didn't care.

In the afternoon of that day, Yu Wenjing came back from the Chinese army, and immediately summoned his school lieutenant and brigade commander into his tent.It was not until evening that Liu Yu returned to his barracks.As soon as he came back, he immediately sent someone to call Liu Ziqiu over and asked, "Around the new year, you organized military training. How effective is it?"

Liu Ziqiu was surprised: "Aren't we only responsible for transporting food and grass?"

"Soldiers have been expensive since ancient times, but this Western Expedition..." Liu Yu paused for a moment, as if he felt that these words were a bit disrespectful, and changed his words, "Murong Fuyun, the lord of Tuyuhun, has deployed heavy troops in Fuyuan Chuan. Your Majesty The decree is to deploy 20 troops to be stationed in Jinshan, Xueshan, Pipa Gorge, and Niling to encircle them."

"Understand the mark, our department is also included in the transfer." Liu Ziqiu looked calm on the surface, but secretly raised his thumb.

Although there are many negative comments on Yang Guang in history, it is undeniable that Yang Guang is indeed an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.His poems and essays are widely circulated, and the construction of canals and the establishment of imperial examinations are unprecedented feats.In the military, Yang Guang also has a strategic vision.

The Tuyuhun area is thousands of miles away, and it has been under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions since the Han Dynasty.Until the end of the Jin Dynasty, a branch of the Murong tribe from the Xianbei in Liaodong migrated over and gradually developed and became a thorn in the Silk Road.The geographical location here is extremely important. If Yang Guang wants to open up the trade route between the East and the West, he must first win Tuyuhun.This is the reason why Yang Guang could tolerate Tie Le's voluntary surrender when he violated the frontier, but he was unwilling to accept Tuyuhun.

However, Yang Guang deliberately slowed down the marching speed to let the Tuyuhun people detect the news and prepare in advance, but he had a deeper intention.
