In Lingzhou City, Murong Zhao saw the order to dispatch troops in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The younger brother Murong Huan beside him was full of excitement, "Brother, now the Shendu Protector Formation has killed the thieves Zhonglun, and then fought with the thieves in Jishi City. Now it is a great opportunity for us to restore our ancestors' foundation. Why are we so depressed?"

The official appointed as the governor of Anlezhou. Murong Zhao, who inherited the title of King Qinghai, was the true direct line of the Murong clan of Tuyuhun. When Tubo attacked Tuyuhun and occupied the land of Jiuqu. The last Tuyuhun Khan, No He Bo, defected to the Tang Dynasty and was placed in Lingzhou by Emperor Taizong, and set up the governor of Anlezhou. He was given the King of Qinghai to be the vassal of the Tang Dynasty and resisted Tubo.

Now nearly a hundred years have passed, and the Murong family has been in Lingzhou for five generations. Although Murong Zhao was appointed as the governor of Anlezhou, he was not familiar with martial arts and was more like a handsome head of a noble family, and they were all from Liangzhou's great scholars and famous scholars.

"What kind of ancestor foundation!"

Looking at his excited brother, Murong Zhao couldn't help but scold him, "Not to mention the vicious thieves, my Murong family is now passed down from poetry and books, and is also a famous family in Lingzhou. The land of Nine Curves is known as fertile land, but is it as peaceful and prosperous as the Tang Dynasty? Isn't it putting the cart before the horse if the governor of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom improper and insisting on becoming the king of the barbarian small country? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Brother, but ancestors..."

"What kind of ancestors are not ancestors? Didn't our ancestors enjoy peace and wealth now? Second brother, it would be great to let you be the lord of Tuyuhun. At that time, you will be with the Tubo barbarians every day and shed sheep on the Qinghai Sea. You can't listen to the music of the Tang Dynasty or the songs and dances of the Tang Dynasty. You can't even listen to the stories of the storytellers."

Listening to his elder brother's nagging, Murong Huan suddenly lost his voice. He only thought that the thieves seized the land of Jiuqu and drove their ancestors out of the old land of Tuyuhun. Now they finally have the opportunity to take revenge, so how could they miss it? But if he really wants to be such a Tuyuhun king, he would rather be his autumn guardian in Lingzhou.

"Brother, but the chief executive has issued a military order. We can't..."

"I have to send troops to you, but I, Murong, will not be involved in the reinstatement of Tuyuhun. Anyone who wants me to be the king of this country will harm me!"

Murong Zhao said in a deep voice that he has been weak and sick since he was a child and his health is not good. If he really wants him to be the king of Tuyuhun at Qinghai, wouldn’t he have his life?

"What Aye said is extremely true. My Murong family is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Tuyuhun is already a cloud of mist, so how can we mention it again?"

"Fu'er, you're back."

Seeing his eldest son come back, Murong Zhao showed joy. His son Yunwen and Wu are much better than him, especially his poems and essays. Even the great scholars in Liangzhou said that they would go to Chang'an to submit a paper, and they might be able to pass the Jinshi. He has always relied heavily on this eldest son.

"Meet the second uncle."

“No need to be polite.”

"Aye can tell that Gao Xianzhi's great captain has already worshipped the minister."

"I don't know how I wrote a congratulatory letter and sent it to Chang'an City."

Gao Xianzhi's worship is of great significance to the Murong family and foreign generals who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. This allows them to see the hope of becoming a true noble family of the Tang Dynasty. If Murong Zhao was not in poor health, he would definitely have to go to Chang'an City to have a glass of Gao Xianzhi's wedding wine, and at the same time, he would be able to contact him.

"Aye can tell that people say that high-minded people can worship their gods because of Shen Dugu."

Looking at his father, Murong Fu, who had just passed the age of twentieth, had longing in his eyes.

"I have heard from people that when Gao Xiang meets, he praises Shen Dumai as a matter of common knowledge. Fu'er, you want to..."

Murong Zhao guessed the eldest son's intentions, and his tone became sluggish for a moment. The soldiers on the battlefield were in danger, so how could his Murong's Qilin son easily take risks?

"Aye, Chen Duhu is the generous lord of Yuntian. I heard that the Qilin son of the An clan of Hexi became a relative of Shen Duhu. An clan has the title of Duke Liang, which is much more valuable than the title of our Murong clan. If that An Bao is really in the formation, is his son not as good as him?"

"Brother, Fu'er is right!"

"What's right? Why don't you let your Tanger go!"

"Aye, I was just about to let my cousin go with me to serve under Chen Dupu, and I would like to ask my second uncle to fulfill his wish."

"this……"

Murong Huan stuttered immediately. He was Murong Tang, the legitimate son. If he really had a good life, his tigress would have to tear him alive. He was just stared at by his eldest nephew, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Aye, if I want to step closer, I must have noble people to help me. Is there any noble person in the world who is more noble than Shen Dupuja? Now Yang Xiang, Gao Xiang, and Ma Xiang can worship the prime minister because Shen Dupuja..."

Murong Fu simply said bluntly, "No matter whether Aye's second uncle agrees or not, I will go to Jishi City with my cousin."

"You are bold. Without my permission, can you leave Lingzhou?"

"My son has asked a friend to ask the chief general to go on the war. Aye did not forget that his son is the commander of the Anlezhou army."

Looking at the eldest son who was confronting him, Murong Zhao jumped up in anger, but then became frustrated again. He couldn't help but his father. The eldest son finally reached the age of leaving him. "Forget it, go there, but you need to be careful to protect yourself on the battlefield, don't show off."

"Don't worry, your son can save you. Besides, my son heard that Li Taibai and Du Zimei were all ministers of Shen Dudu. In addition, there are famous scholars such as Gundam. When his son goes to Shen Dudu's command, he can ask them every day. In the future, he will be the first to be a Jinshi in Chang'an, which will make Aye's face shine."

Seeing that his father let go, Murong Fu's expression suddenly grew older, and quickly comforted him.

"Don't choose something nice to me. I don't go to the battlefield like you, Ah Weng and great-grandfather, but I also know that the traitors are the most vicious, otherwise they would not have taken away the foundation of our ancestors. They have fought with the Tang Dynasty for many years. Although I have no achievements in being an official in these years, at least the territory of Anlezhou is still peaceful and the treasury is full. Remember to bring more food, fodder and livestock, and don't rush to rush..."

Seeing his elder brother who was telling his elder nephew, Murong Huan quietly retreated. His elder brother still loved his elder nephew the most. You must know that the Murong family was personally appointed by Emperor Taizong of Anlezhou as their fiefdom. His treasury in the state has always been used by him. Although Anlezhou is not considered a wealthy person, he has always been frugal after his elder brother took office as the governor, and the treasury has saved a lot of money and grain.

This time I am afraid that I will be taken away by my eldest nephew!

...

On the ninth day of the sixth month, outside Jishi City, no grass grew on the fields trampled by thousands of troops and horses around the Thunder Ye Army camp, and the soil was soaked with blood. The long summer wind blew, and the dry air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Since Chen Guang killed Jiesang Dongzebu, the deputy prime minister of Tubo, the Tubo army has attacked his camp for three consecutive days without stopping. In those three days, the Tubo people lost at least 40,000 troops. Seeing that they could not shake the army camp, they stopped the offensive.

A few days later, the Tubo people stopped, and then Murong Shen in Jishi City took the opportunity to send someone to send the news. There was a Tubo army named Dazha Lugong who wanted to dissuade the other generals from continuing to attack the King's Camp, thinking that 20,000 elite troops could be left to defend Jishi City, and the remaining army should go to Riyue Mountain to meet with Zanpu's army.

"This Dazhalugong is a soldier. Fortunately, this person is a gentle person, otherwise we will be in trouble."

After retreating the messenger, the generals in the tent of the commander Chen Guang said that now they had figured out the strength of the Tubo people. When Jiesang Dongzebu set out, he did lead an army of 150,000. Later, he replenished his troops along the way, and he could indeed be called 200,000. However, there was a lot of water here. If all the Wuru of the Tubo people were mobilized, they could indeed recruit 60 to 700,000 to 700,000 young and strong women, but at least 200,000 of them were strong women.

In fact, the real main force of the Tubo people this time was 120,000 regular soldiers, with 30,000 cavalry and 8,000 cavalry. Don’t look at the Tubo people who lost 40,000 soldiers in the previous three days. At least half of them were used to consume their arrows and physical strength.

The 20,000 people in Tuyuhun were completely disabled at that time. Now Murong Shen lives in Jishi City with great suffering. Without the Zhonglun, Sangdong Zebu, the Zhonglun, the Tubo generals were defeated by the Tuyuhun people.

The messenger sent by Murong Chan was already begging for them to allow them to turn against each other in the battle or go out of the city to join the king's army, but they were all rejected by Chen Guang. Before the most critical time was reached, he would not use the trump card of Tuyuhun.

"The main force of the traitors is still there. Now they are still crazy about recruiting the elderly, weak, women and children in the rear city. It seems that they are going to fight to the death with us."

Guo Ziyi frowned. The Tubo people planned to kill them with their lives. This kind of battle was the one he disliked to fight the most. Although the camp was strong, if the Tubo people suppressed all their troops and attacked fiercely, they would definitely cause unnecessary casualties.

"There are many new soldiers in the army. At that time, we must tell the soldiers below that there are no elderly, weak, women and children on the battlefield. Any people who are not our Tang Dynasty who appear on the battlefield are enemy enemies."

Chen Guang thought of the Tubo military and tactics that Feng Changqing had told him in the past, but he ordered the generals, "In addition, prepare more sand and soil, and fill the water tank with water to prevent the fire attack of the foreign thieves."

The generals from Longyou and Hexi all nodded. They were fighting with the thieves when they were old, so they naturally knew that if the thieves sent large troops, the elderly, weak, women and children who accompanied the army were also soldiers. Even the children of seven or eight years old would go to catch sparrows, tie hay to their legs and ignite them, and drive them to fly to the military camp. In the past, many cities in the border towns were lit by such sparrow fire and were captured by the thieves in the chaos.

"The Dangxiang people sent the two thousand armored cavalry who led the thief, and selected warriors loyal to the Tang Dynasty to form a heavy cavalry, and called the name Iron Harrier."

Chen Guang looked at Li Sheng and other officials who were generals in the Dangxiang cavalry and said that when the Tubo army attacked the camp, the Dangxiang people suffered a lot of losses, and the Tuyuhun people were killed or injured. This made the Sadao Army almost nothing yet, and the new recruits also took turns to fight in blood, so it was time to give them some compensation.

"Yes, lord."

"By the way, there is another thing. The chief executive said that there will be reinforcements in Lingzhou. Tell me, how should these reinforcements be used?"

Chen Guang looked at the generals in Hexi, and these local snakes should understand the local soldiers.

"Master, the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou were from Anlezhou, which was unexpectedly from Murong, who was originally a royal family in Tuyuhun. After joining the Tang Dynasty, he was named King of Qinghai. When Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong, he could still kill with the thieves, but the latter was far inferior. I heard that the governor of Anlezhou, Murong Zhao, is a scholar and wants to come to his troops..."
