Ignoring the little girl Murong Ya's endless sarcasm at the side, Yang Xiao was a little curious that the Tuyuhun Imperial Master, who was so arrogant that day, looked completely different now. It seems that within half a year of separation, Tuyuhun Kingdom must have undergone tremendous changes. Just like himself, he has transformed into His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun of the "Celestial Dynasty"
Thinking that Murong Ya personally instigated the assassination of the Lanzhou general at noon today, I am afraid that it is inseparable from Heliando. Yang Xiao thought of a lot at this moment.
Murong Chu slowly calmed down from the initial panic when Yang Xiao was stunned. As a Tuyuhun Imperial Master, he naturally has extraordinary wisdom. His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun of the Celestial Dynasty sneaked into the Lanzhou Mansion quietly first, which in itself was unusual. When he thought about General Cui Xuanji who was probably on the way at this moment, Murong Chu could guess the thoughts of the Celestial Prince Yang Cheng.
All these actions of the Celestial Dynasty seemed to be to deal with the growing power of Helianduo, rather than to join forces with him to deal with Tuyuhun. When Murong Chu thought of this, his heart suddenly dropped.
Looking at the princess who was cursing at the side, Murong Chu quickly walked over and said softly: "Princess, please stop scolding me. Your Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, is a friend, not an enemy."
These words could not help but make Murong Ya stunned, and also shocked Yang Xiao. Tuyuhun Imperial Master should not be underestimated.
"Oh - are you so confident?" Yang Xiao sneered.
Murong Chu did not say where his confidence came from. He evaded the important point and said: "The envoys from the Tubo Kingdom are in Zhiyuan. His Highness Changsun has to deal with them if he wants to resolve the situation in Lanzhou Prefecture."
?? Tubo and Tuyuhun are the two great heroes in the Western Regions. Yang Xiao knew this before traveling to the Western Regions. After arriving in Lanzhou, he became even more aware of the endless struggle between these two great heroes. Murong Chu pointed the maotou at the Tubo Kingdom with a flick of his finger, and his methods were indeed sophisticated.
"The Imperial Preceptor is worthy of being the Imperial Preceptor," Yang Xiao snorted coldly, "Let me, the Heavenly Dynasty, take the lead so that you guys can benefit?"
Murong Chu's expression was calm, and he was not moved by Yang Xiao's sarcasm at all: "I, Tuyuhun, am in a difficult situation now, so it is natural that I have some selfish desires, but Your Highness, you also know that if Heliando allied with the Tubo Kingdom, the northwest half of the Celestial Empire would also be destroyed. It fell into the hands of jackals.¡±
"Are you trying to sow discord between me and the Lanzhou Prefecture soldiers?" Yang Xiao's eyebrows twitched and his face turned cold as he said coldly.
The two were fighting for their wits, and the meaning of Murong Chu's words couldn't be more obvious. Helianduo was now becoming more and more powerful, and the Sui Dynasty wanted to ensure the peace of the northwest. Cooperating with Tuyuhun was a good choice. Of course, Yang Xiao also understood that he was resentful. What's strange is that when Tuyuhun was strong, you were not ambitious. Now that you are besieged by Heliando and Tubo, you have thought of cooperation. There is such a good thing there.
Murong Chu took a step back and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I will never dare to tell lies. I think your Highness also got the news. A few hours ago, Helianduo led his troops out of the city."
Of course Yang Xiao knew the news, and he also felt strange in his heart. What was Helianduo doing out of the city? Did he find out that he was hiding troops in Aozhuang? Thinking about it, it was wrong. Otherwise, how could I be so at ease talking to him here at this moment.
Yang Xiao stared at Murong Chu closely, knowing that he was about to throw out sexual bait, so Yang Xiao did not mince words and said calmly: "Give me a reason enough to go to Zhiyuan."
Murongchu was overjoyed and said: "Helianduo sent troops to imprison General Shangguan. He drew his troops out of the city and Lao Na thought they should go to Zhangye Mansion on the outskirts of the city."
Yang Xiao¡¯s eyebrows jumped and he said to himself: ¡°This news is really shocking. He saw with his own eyes that the stinky woman only brought three or five people into the city. The other five thousand Zhangye soldiers were stationed in the temporary military camp in the west of the city.¡±
"General Shangguan is naturally very intelligent. She dares to go into the tiger's nest alone, so she naturally has something to rely on. Helianduo's attempt to trap her is probably going to fail. As for the soldiers from the Zhangye Mansion on the outskirts of the city you mentioned, how big is Helianduo's taste? , can you defeat the elite soldiers from the four counties of Hexi?" Yang Xiao said calmly, unmoved.
Murong Chu was very anxious after hearing this: "Your Highness, your Chinese dynasty has a proverb, 'Capture the thief first, capture the king'. This is an opportunity. And the Tubo Kingdom dares to challenge the authority of the Chinese dynasty with Helianduo. Your Highness, you are wise and powerful and can bear this tone." ?¡±
¡°Hehehehe¡ª¡ª¡± Yang Xiao said with a smile, ¡°Murong Chu, Murong Chu, I¡¯m not a three-year-old child, so you don¡¯t have to flatter me like this.¡±
Murong Chu¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment at Yang Xiao¡¯s words. His eyes were rolling and he was still talking. He obviously wanted to argue but didn¡¯t know where to start.
The scene suddenly became cold. Yang Xiao took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "It's not impossible for me to send troops to help you -"
When Murong Chu heard this, he felt hopeful again, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, tell me what conditions you have."
"You can make the decision?"
Murong ChuHe glanced at Murong Ya who was on the side and saw her nodding slightly, so he bit his tongue and said firmly: "It's up to you."
"Okay, let me ask you, Tubo has sent tens of thousands of troops to invade your border. If you join forces with Helianduo, how many days can you, Tuyuhun, hold out and keep the country safe?"
Murong Chu lowered his head heavily and sighed: "I'm afraid the country may be destroyed."
"I won't make things extra difficult for you. Besides, I really don't know how to raise conditions when it comes to this aspect. Let me see it this way. I'll ask someone to talk to you. I don't want to blackmail others. Before talking, How about preliminary cooperation, let you see the changes in our empire, and then negotiate the terms?"
"Okay" Murong Chu agreed happily, "I wonder who your Highness would like to invite to talk to me?"
Yang smiled and said: "You just said that General Shangguan is trapped in Helianduo Mansion, so our first stop will be to Helianduo Mansion. If we can cooperate well, we will go directly to Zhiyuan."
The lanterns come on
No matter how turbulent the various forces are behind the scenes, the ordinary people in Lanzhou Prefecture still live their ordinary lives. People with a little love still chat, drink tea, crack melon seeds and fart in the teahouse.
The only unusual thing is that at some point there are hundreds of men on the street who are familiar with each other. However, at this time, it is not unusual in Lanzhou Prefecture.
Marshal He avoids Luoyang to hold the 27-nation World Expo. Will there be fewer people coming from all over the world?
However, just when they were relaxing, bursts of thunder suddenly sounded in their ears. The noisy tea house suddenly became quiet, and the whole street seemed to have entered the second half of the night.
The tea guests stretched their necks curiously, wanting to see the starry night sky. Where did the thunder come from?
"Boom boom boom¡ª¡ª"
The sound of thunder was like fried beans, and this century-old city was shocked by the desperate efforts for no money.
The ground trembled one after another. The tea guests looked at each other for a while, and then became panicked.
After a while, they heard the sound of people running on the street, people screaming, and people crying loudly, but what they heard the most was the news that Heliando's mansion was struck by lightning.
Thunder on the ground
This is heaven¡¯s punishment, and the people believe this the most. Marshal He¡¯s domineering behavior finally received God¡¯s retribution. But at this moment, Marshal He suddenly didn't know what was happening in his mansion.
On the outskirts of the city, there is the Zhangye Mansion military camp.
The sound of wind and cranes
Marshal He led his Lanzhou Prefecture confidants to sit in the Chinese army's tent. Zhangye and Lanzhou were far apart from each other. To subdue the desert tiger soldiers, he had to take charge personally.
When I came here, I took the Shangguan Beloved Warrant and had a smooth journey.
After a while, all the big and small palace guards, capital guards, military deacons, and corps commanders with more than a hundred people were summoned to the large Chinese army tent.
Several guardsmen who were favored by Shangguan were convinced. An order came not even a day after entering the city. Could it be that the original strategy had failed? Do you want to attack the city or go head-to-head?
????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the big tent with many questions, only to find that the person sitting at the top is not the cold and eye-catching female boss whom he is familiar with?
"Who are you?" Several guards drew their swords and glared at each other angrily.
¡°Hahaha¡ª¡ª¡± Helianduo laughed, ¡°Your general, Shangguan, is a guest at my mansion.¡±
"Helianduo?" Several of Shangguan's favorites were all horrified, "What are you going to do to General Shangguan?"
"What can we do?" Helianduo said with a smile, "The northwest has been in disarray since the old general Shangguan. Although I am not as good as the old general, I still have to shoulder this important task. Will you generals help me?"
"The only one who can take over the old general is General Shangguan. When did it become your turn to take charge of Lanzhou Mansion?"
"Shi Ye Ming Ye, you are short-sighted and can't see the general trend. I don't blame you. I just want to ask you whether you can achieve dominance with me?"
At this time, no matter how stupid they were, they understood that when Heliandu came to the Chinese army's tent, he came directly to seize power.
"Don't think about it"
"Okay, okay -" Helendo said with a smile, stroking his hands, "You have the guts, you don't want to be a general, there are many people who want to be, how can anyone pull these people down and chop them off when they are dancing for joy?" Helendo's face suddenly turned pale when he said this As soon as it changed, Yin screamed miserably.
??????????????????????????? A group of guards in bright armor rushed out from the tent, quickly restrained the guards, and without saying a word, they took them out and beheaded them on the spot.
The screams came in from outside, and the generals were so horrified that their faces turned pale and they were dripping with cold sweat.
"What? You, the deputy guard, don't want to be a general? Then I will find a corps commander of a thousand people or a corps commander of a hundred people" Helianduo threatened nakedly.
¡°Belongs to¡ªbelongs to¡ª- Next - I am willing to go through fire and water with the Marshal no matter what I do."
¡°Okay, okay, I really know the current affairs, hahaha¡ª¡ª¡± Helianduo laughed loudly.
"You and my troops will divide into two groups and station in Liupan Mountain"
"Commander He, why are you stationed at Liupan Mountain?" a guard asked tremblingly.
Helianduo looked into the distance and said miserably: "Weary soldiers from long expeditions, just wait for the hard work."
Everyone in the field is a good soldier in the army, so they naturally know that what Helianduo wants to deal with is Cui Xuanji who came from Chang'an.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? were made out was that?Cui Xuanji and other soldiers from the Zhangye Mansion did not welcome them from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that his old general Shangguan and his family, who knew that they were returning to the defense, was secretly kicked out by the Daxing Palace, is that they were kicked out of Daxing Palace. .
