It was dark at night, and Li Xuan was sitting in front of a low table. A delicately conceived memorial quickly fell into his pen, and finally took shape and was left to dry.
"Here comes someone." Li Xuan looked up, and Li Zhu came in from the door.
Li Xuan immediately handed over the memorial and said solemnly: "Send it to the capital of God immediately six hundred miles away."
"Here!" Li Zhu didn't hesitate at all. After taking the memorial, he turned around and left.
Li Xuan's expression relaxed a little. If he wanted to completely solve Fuqi City's problems this time, he would have to read this memorial.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xuan felt that Murong Nuohebo, the King of Qinghai, was of some use.
It will be of great use to Li Xuan himself and the entire Tang Dynasty. If he is accidentally forced to the Tubo side, it will be a serious problem.
Li Xuan stood up, walked to the middle of the tent thoughtfully, and slowly paced back and forth.
Murong Nuohebo was essentially useless. He did not play a big role in the war. He could not fight against Tubo or assist the Tang Dynasty in fighting. His only role was to lead Tuyuhun's cavalry.
Now, Su Hegui's fate has been determined, but there is still Dayan Mangjiebo in the Qaidam Basin.
The grasslands of Qingdong and the mines of Qingxi.
Qaidam Basin, a treasure trove!
Dayan Mangjiebo, who occupies this cornucopia, is Murong Nuohebo's biological uncle, but Murong Nuohebo's father, Murong Shundu, is dead, but Ke Yanmangjiebo is still alive.
This pair of uncle and nephew is the least likely to get together.
Murong Nuohebo's mother was the former Princess Donghua of the Sui Dynasty, and his grandmother was the wife of his grandfather Murong Fuyun, the former Princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty.
Murong Fuyun and Princess Guanghua gave birth to Murong Shun, and he and other Xianbei women gave birth to Dayan Mangjiebo.
Later, Murong Fuyun divided Tuyuhun into East and West Tuyuhun and gave them to his two sons to manage respectively.
Murong Shun was the king of Eastern Qinghai and also the king of Tuyuhun, while Dayan Mangjiebo was the king of Western Qinghai.
Murong Shun later defected to the Tang Dynasty, but was betrayed by Su Hegui. The country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. Murong Nuohebo was even forced to move to the Tang Dynasty.
Dayan Mangjiebo defected to Tubo and still had a large number of troops.
If you want to get this cornucopia and attack Dayan Mangjiebo, Murong Nuohebo must come forward.
Li Xuan thought softly, and in the end she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly said to herself coldly: "No matter how old a king is, he is still a king, and he will not give up so easily."
The Fuqi City that Murong Nuohebo wanted and the Fuqi City that Li Xuan wanted were completely different. But if you want to become the king of Qinghai, you have to find your own way to provide food and grass. This is not what a king is.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the tent. Su Baotong cupped his hands outside the tent and said, "Your Majesty, there is an envoy coming from Fuqi City."
"Let them come in." Li Xuan sat back behind the desk and looked at the door calmly.
Immediately, a thin old man in red and a sturdy middle-aged man in black walked in with respectful expressions.
"Tuyuhun Chijia Chihongzang, Renjiaren Enci met the king of Nanchang." Two Tibetan nobles paid homage to Li Xuan at the same time, with nervous expressions on their faces.
"Everyone, get up." Li Xuan nodded calmly.
"Here." Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci stood up at the same time, and then looked at Li Xuan with anxious faces.
"Do you know about the Buha River?" Li Xuan said directly, and his voice sounded like a thunderbolt in the ears of Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci.
What the two people had originally just had a little speculation turned into reality in an instant.
"I am guilty, please forgive the 100,000 people in the city." Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci immediately knelt down again, their faces full of panic and begging.
They couldn't help but panic. Li Xuan dammed the upper reaches of the Buha River to store water. Once the dam was destroyed, the rushing river would directly hit Fuqi City, and Li Xuan had already started digging outside the city. Ditch, so that once the torrent arrives, it will immediately pour into Fuqi City.
Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci only guessed it after receiving the report from their subordinates, and it was almost 80% possible.
That's why the two came to see Li Xuan, otherwise once the city was destroyed, the rest of them wouldn't be able to survive.
Li Xuan gently played with the green bamboo and jade pen in her hand, and said calmly: "You should have received the news sent to the city a few days ago. What do you think?"
Chi Hongzang's mouth twitched slightly, then he cupped his hands and said, "Report to the king, Su Hegui is guilty. Killing just one of them is indeed not enough to quell the Tang Dynasty's anger, but annihilating the entire clan is a bit excessive."
"Are there any of your own children here?" Li Xuan could see through Chi Hongzang's true thoughts at a glance.
The matter has nothing to do with oneself, just hang it high. This is not the case for the people of Tuyuhun.
Now that Chi Hongzang came forward to intercede, it could only affect their own family.
Seeing Chi Hongzang burying his head deeply on the ground, Li Xuan nodded calmly and asked: "Then what should we do according to Tuyuhun's rules?"
"The women in the family and the children who are no taller than a wheel can survive." Ren Enci quickly bowed and said.
"Okay." Li Xuan unexpectedly agreed to their request.
Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci quickly bowed to the ground deeply, and then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance."
Li Xuan's expression did not change at all. He just said lightly: "Women can live with children no longer than a wheel, but for others, I want someone from your family to take action."
"Ah!" Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci raised their heads at the same time, with shock and surprise in their eyes, but also a hint of horror.
In the entire Fuqi City, apart from the Suhegui family, the only ones who truly control the real power are the Gui family, the Chi family and the Ren family.
Compared with the Chi family and the Ren family, the Gui family has the closest relationship with Su Hegui. Even the head of the Gui family, Gui Runuo, is Su Hegui's son-in-law.
Now, Li Xuan wants Gui Runuo to directly kill all the men in the Su family who are above the wheel. This... this is really too cruel.
Chi Hongzang swallowed, looked at Li Xuan with his hands raised, and said, "Reporting to the king, Gui Runuo still doesn't know the news that the king wants to implicate the entire Su family. He only knows the king's essentials and your head."
Li Xuan turned over the green bamboo and jade pen, then knocked it gently, and said softly: "It's not a bad thing not to know, as long as he waits until the final time to take action, he will take action."
Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci looked at each other, their expressions secretly relaxed.
If it really comes to the last critical moment, King Nanchang's army will inevitably enter the city. If Gui Runuo doesn't do anything by then, he may have to follow in the footsteps of the Su family.
"I obey the king's order." Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci knelt down deeply again.
Li Xuan spoke and then said: "Su Hegui's matter is settled, what about your matters?"
"I am willing to be loyal to the king forever." Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci kowtowed three times in succession, so hard that their foreheads turned red.
"The person you want to be loyal to is not this king, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Xuan emphasized casually. Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci immediately understood and quickly changed their words: "I will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. .”
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded slightly and said again: "How many soldiers do you have, and how is the city control?"
Chi Hongzang quickly raised his head, raised his hands and said: "Report to the king, the guards of Fuqi City are mainly the west gate, the north gate and the south gate. The Su family has the largest number of troops at the west gate. The elites of our three families have been deployed to assist, and the number of soldiers accounts for 10%. Less than 30% of the city gate.
However, because the king had no plans to attack the city, Su Hegui transferred his elite troops to the north gate to guard against Murong Nuohebo.
Of the three of us, we have the most people at the South Gate and East Gate. "
"So among the more than 10,000 soldiers now, how many can each of your families control?" Li Xuan looked sideways at the two of them casually.
The future fate of the two of them is determined by the next sentence.
"Su Hegui has always had a tight grasp on military strength. Almost 60% of the army is his relatives and confidants. Your family accounts for 20% of the army, and the two of us each account for 10%." After Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci finished speaking, they didn't even If you dare to raise your head, the two stores have too few troops.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then continued: "It's easy to talk about the soldiers in and outside the city. To capture the thieves first, capture the king and solve the Su family. The rest is easy to talk about. The key is those people in Qinghai Hubei who are fighting against the Murong clan. Can you control it?"
Su Hegui originally sent 10,000 troops to try to block Murong Nuohebo's 6,000 cavalry in Qinghai and Hubei, but these people had little effect at all.
Facing Murong Nuohebo's 6,000 cavalry, they were almost defeated steadily, without the slightest ability to fight back.
If Li Xuan hadn't made many attempts to attack the city after arriving at Fuqi City, they would have mobilized more troops to support Qinghai and Hubei.
The situation was stabilized.
Although there were several battles on the battlefield, even with the later deployment of soldiers, Su Hegui probably had less than 10,000 people in the north, but these 10,000 people were still the main force of Tuyuhun's army.
After Li Xuan said these words, Chi Hongzang quickly understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as Gui Runuo takes action and directly kills the Su family leader, then everything will be under control." among.”
"That's right." Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "I know that there is not much food in the city, and most people don't have much food left in their homes, but you also know that after the Dafeichuan incident, the imperial court will not give it easily. Fuqi City allocates food and grass, and the people in the city want to survive..."
Before Li Xuan finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Su Baotong cupped his hands outside the tent and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Anle Prefecture has sent someone."
"Oh?" Li Xuan glanced at Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci in surprise, chuckled, and said, "Everything really happened together."
After pondering for a while, Li Xuan said directly: "You two, go hide in the back tent now, and listen to the request of your former king's envoy."
"Here!" Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci immediately handed over their hands, then bowed respectfully and walked in behind the big tent.
Only in the last glance, when Chi Hongzang looked at the door of the tent, his eyes were filled with strong murderous intent.
Li Xuan smiled softly, then raised her head and said, "Invite the envoy to come in."
"Here!" Su Baotong echoed. After a moment, the curtain was lifted, and two figures started walking one after another.
…
In Qinghai and Hubei, Murong Nuohebo is standing on horseback in front of a long river.
Looking at the Tuyuhun army on the other side, he had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and two figures with a dozen personal guards quickly approached.
The general of the town army, General Murong Zhong of the Right Leopard Tao Guard, and Murong Zhi, the Zhonglang General of the Left Xiao Guard, came to Murong Nuohebo's side, cupped their hands and said: "Great Khan."
"Is something wrong?" Murong Nuohebo didn't look back.
Murong Zhong immediately stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Return to Father Khan, who just captured him alive, and said that the King of Nanchang has arrived at Fuqi City."
"Huh?" Murong Nuohebo turned his head in confusion, looked at Murong Zhong and said, "Why is that so? If the King of Nanchang has arrived at Fuqi City, why is the strength of the army opposite us increasing now?"
Murong Zhong took a step forward, raised his hands solemnly and said, "To say it alive, the King of Nanchang only dug trenches under the city and never attacked the city."
Murong Nuohebo shook his head slightly, waved his hands, and said: "No, Nanchang King Warrior, how can you have the reason not to attack the city? You go and find out now."
"Here!" Murong Zhong and Murong Zhi immediately took the people away.
It was getting dark soon and at dusk, Murong Zhong and Murong Zhi returned quickly. Murong Zhong said nervously: "Father, the King of Nanchang has stored water in the upper reaches of the Buha River."
"He's going to use water attack." Murong Nuohebo quickly understood Li Xuan's plan.
"Father!" Murong Zhong suddenly said nervously: "We cannot let the King of Nanchang do whatever he wants!"
Murong Zhi quickly grabbed Murong Zhong and whispered: "Your Majesty, the King of Nanchang is not acting recklessly. He is thinking about food and grass. The army is short of food and grass."
Murong Nuohebo immediately said: "You two, go to Fuqi City now and meet the King of Nanchang to see what he means... Azhi, you have the final say on this matter."
Murong Zhong and Murong Zhi raised their hands at the same time: "Here!"
