At Youshi, outside Lanzhou City, there was the Chinese army's tent in Tuyuhun.
Tuyuhun coach Liang Qucong Qucong, the famous Tuyuhun king, sat cross-legged on a thick blanket and discussed with the generals of each tribe the plan to attack Lanzhou tomorrow.
Suddenly, a soldier in ragged clothes and covered in blood ran into the tent in a panic and shouted:
"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, something bad has happened. General Murong Bo..."
Liang Qucong stood up suddenly, stared at the visitor and asked:
"What's wrong with Murong Bo?"
The soldier puffed his head, knelt down on the ground, and said tremblingly:
"General Murong died in battle."
A man in the tent who looked 80% similar to Murong Bo shouted loudly when he heard this, pulled out a machete from his waist, and slashed at the person's neck.
"You despicable slave, you dare to curse my brother, I will kill you."
Seeing this, Liang Qucong yelled at the other generals:
"Stop him for me."
Almost at the same time as Liang Qucong gave the order, an elegant middle-aged man wearing a Tang Dynasty Confucian shirt and a long beard hugged Murong Sheng's waist from behind and shouted:
"A Sheng, calm down, he is just a nobody. If he takes it seriously, even if you cut him into pieces, it will not help!"
Murong Sheng struggled wildly and roared:
"My brother is the most powerful warrior in Tuyuhun, how could he die in battle! It must be this cheap slave spreading false news."
"He must have been bribed by the Tang people. I want to arrest him and interrogate him."
While the two were talking, the famous king Liang Qucong had already walked up to Murong Sheng.
Liang Qucong's face was as frosty as she raised her hand and slapped her hard. Murong Sheng slapped her and snorted coldly:
"Be bold, this is the Chinese army's tent, not your backyard."
"If you keep barking like this, besides proving your incompetence, what else can you prove?"
"Besides, even if General Murong did die, he died on the way to fight for the country. I believe that millions of Tuyuhun people will never forget General Murong's contribution to the country."
When the dozens of generals in the tent heard this, they looked at Liang Qucong with even more respect.
Murong Sheng's originally bloodthirsty eyes also regained a trace of clarity.
He knew he shouldn't say these words in the big tent, but he just couldn't help it.
After all, no matter who you are, you will lose your rationality and judgment after hearing that your brother from the same mother has died in battle.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After the anger in his heart subsided slightly, Murong Sheng gently patted the back of Murong Xiaojun's hand, turned his head and said:
"Thank you clan brother for taking the initiative."
Murong Xiaojun showed an elegant smile and let go of Murong Sheng.
After calming down, Murong Sheng bowed respectfully to Liang Qu Cong and said:
"The general was impulsive and offended the king. Please punish me."
Liang Qucong nodded slightly and said coldly:
"When the discussion is over, you go and get twenty military sticks."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After dealing with Murong Sheng, Liang Qucong walked slowly to the soldiers and said with indifferent eyes:
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
The soldier glanced at Liang Qucong gratefully, and then glanced at Murong Sheng secretly.
Liang Qucong saw this and said loudly:
"Don't be nervous. Speak slowly and the more detailed the better. I promise that General Murong will never offend you."
The soldier was happy when he heard this, kowtowed heavily and said:
"Thank you, Marshal."
Then the soldiers told how they used a trick to open the gate of Dingxi City this afternoon.
Then he explained in detail the entire process of how the army was defeated by the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty.
When the soldiers finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the big tent, and then it immediately became noisy.
"No way, this is absolutely impossible."
"Not to mention 10,000 Tang Cavalry, even 30,000 Tang Cavalry cannot retain our most heroic warrior from Tuyuhun."
"Besides, Chang'an is more than a thousand miles away from Dingxi City. It is impossible for the Tang people's Qingqi to reach Dingxi City so fast."
"There are only a few thousand defenders in Dingxi City, and they are attacked from all sides by my siege army. Moreover, the east city gate has been opened with a trick. With the combat power of those Tang people, how can they stop our warriors!"
"..."
While all the Tuyuhun generals were talking about it, trying to overthrow Xiaobing's news, Liang Qucong asked with a gloomy face:
"You just said that the numbers that Tang Qi could call were the Tang Youwuwei?"
"Do you know who their coach is?"
Xiaobing nodded, shook his head and said:
"I don't know."
Liang Qucong was furious when he heard this. He glanced at the bodyguard standing in the tent, then pointed at the soldier and said:
"Bastard, I still want to spare your life, but you are such a cheap slave that you don't even know who the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army is. I guess you must have escaped from the battle, and that's how you saved your life."
"Come here! Pull this bitch down and beat him to death with a stick."
The soldier's expression changed drastically, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy:
"Your Majesty, my subordinates did not do this. I am wronged by my subordinates. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Liang Qucong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the main seat.
Upon seeing this, the guards in the tent immediately stepped forward and pulled the soldier out like a dog to death.
Liang Qucong tried her best to pretend to be calm and calm, and sat cross-legged behind the desk.
But the white fists clenched under the desk betrayed his mood at this time.
[Five thousand light cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry are just gone? ]
[Murong Bo, you idiot, you really deserve to die! This king was really blind back then. ]
Liang Qucong lowered his eyebrows and waited for a while before asking the military advisor Murong Xiaojun on the side:
"Military advisor, our army suffered heavy losses in the battle at Dingxicheng. How do you think we should respond next?"
Murong Xiaojun stroked his long beard and said:
"Report to the king."
"Based on the current war situation, I have a few suggestions here."
Liang Qucong immediately became energetic after hearing this. He sat up straight, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said:
"Military advisor, it's okay to say so."
Murong Xiaojun nodded and said calmly:
"First, our army will send additional scouts to Longyou Road to find out the specific situation of the Tang reinforcements."
"Second, give an order to General Dowa in the Lintao City area to leave three thousand cavalry behind, while the rest will transport the confiscated property and women back as soon as possible."
"Third, starting from tomorrow, we will increase our siege efforts and we must capture Lanzhou City within three days."
Having said this, Murong Xiaojun took two steps forward, leaned into Liang Qucong's ear, and whispered:
"Fourth, send someone to Chang'an to deliver a message and tell the nobles and noble families that our army's losses this time are all due to their failure to deliver the news to our army in time."
"They have to make up for our losses."
"If not, when my Tuyuhun army is defeated, I will definitely take their families and bury them together."
