    At this moment, it is most appropriate to describe Murong Fuyun as a bereaved dog.  Murong Fuyun never expected that the Tang army would fight so decisively, so simply, without leaving any room.  At the beginning, Murong Fuyun was very open-minded about the envoys sent by Goguryeo and thought it was very reasonable. This method should be used to deal with the Tang Dynasty, and this method could only be used.  This has been a law for thousands of years. There is no doubt about the power of the Central Plains Dynasty.  But facing their mobility, even someone as powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be overwhelmed by them.  Mobility is the nature of nomads. They come and go when they want. There are no traces of patterns to be found, so they are hard to guard against.  In response to this, different dynasties had different approaches. The Han and Tang Dynasties used marriage, the Song Dynasty used annual coins, and the Ming Dynasty was more rigid, but there was no good solution: a lot of money and materials were invested in border construction.  Expanding the strength of the border troops to prevent foreign enemies, but the effect obtained is not that significant, so it is still the same.  It¡¯s not that the Central Plains is inferior to the foreign races outside the Great Wall, but that the farming people are indeed much inferior to the nomadic peoples in terms of riding and shooting mobility. This is a weakness of the entire nation and is difficult to change.  Murong Fuyun did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously not because he was arrogant because he believed that Tuyuhun could fight the Tang Dynasty and had the strength to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but because he felt that he could not defeat the Tang Dynasty and that the Tang Dynasty could not do anything to him.  Since Goguryeo wanted to bring down the Tang Dynasty, Murong Fuyun didn't mind helping.  After all, the only time they could really take advantage of the Central Plains dynasty through plunder was when the Central Plains was completely plunged into strife and turmoil.  Other times, it¡¯s just to take advantage of it and enjoy some sweetness.  I also have this thought.  Murong Fuyun directly declared war on Datang. On the one hand, he wanted to bring down Datang. On the other hand, he threatened Datang to force Datang to make concessions and give up the development of the Hexi Corridor.  Murong Fuyun had a beautiful idea, but he was also naive.  If he meets an ordinary king.  Maybe he can really succeed.  Unfortunately, he met Li Shimin, a great king as famous as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, with extraordinary strategic ambitions and ambitions.  It is in line with Chen Tang's words, "Anyone who offends our strong men will be punished no matter how far away!" The great Tang Dynasty, known as the Chinese Celestial Dynasty, how can it allow a small country to provoke?  Moreover, the eastern border of Tuyuhun is connected to Longyou.  It is close to the west of Beijing and has an important location. Tuyuhun sent troops to threaten Tang Kuo and Lanzhou, which also cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was not smooth.  Not only did he slap Datang in the face, but he also cut off Datang¡¯s financial path!  The emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses!  Li Shimin himself was a heroic emperor, and he was by no means the kind of hereditary emperor who just sat back and enjoyed his success and did not understand military strategy. In view of the fact that the eastern border of Tuyuhun connected to Longyou and was close to the west of Beijing, his location was important. If the battle was not thorough, it would be better not to fight at all.  Therefore, Li Shimin's determination this time was definitely not something Murong Fuyun could understand.  This also caused the tragedy faced by Tuyuhun.  Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, once again relied on his outstanding military talent to develop the rush warfare and gave Murong Fuyun a powerful head-on attack.  Murong Fuyun couldn't resist.  In order to prevent the pursuit of the Tang army, the weeds were burned, the light troops entered the moraine, and fled into the wilderness to protect themselves.  He originally thought that the Tang army was advancing alone, but once there was no horse grass.  The logistics are further stretched, so we can only retreat.  But he completely underestimated Li Shimin.  He underestimated Li Jing and underestimated Hou Junji's determination.  No matter how bad the environment is, it cannot change Tang Jun's decision.  Li Jing divided his troops into two groups to pursue them. He personally led Li Daliang, Xue Wanjun and other troops to cut off their retreat to the Qilian Mountains from the north road, and detoured to Fuqi City. Hou Junji, Zhi Shisili and other troops pursued and intercepted the troops fleeing south from the south road.  Tuyuhun Army.  Li Jing led a circuitous attacking army. Under the leadership of the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he appeared and disappeared. He first defeated the Tuyuhun army at Mantou Mountain, beheaded its leader, captured a large number of livestock, and solved the food and clothing crisis. Then he defeated the Tuyuhun army non-stop at Niuxindui.  , and then rushed to Chishuiyuan and won again, capturing dozens of famous kings and cutting off Murong Fuyun's path first, becoming a mountain that Tyuhun could not cross when he fled into Qinan.  "The chief steward still has no news about Murong Fuyun!" "The chief steward still has no news about Murong Fuyun!" "The chief steward still has no news about Murong Fuyun!"  One day, two days, three days and four days even half a month   Li Jingguang sent scouts but found no trace of the remnants of Tuyuhun.  "For this reason, some generals in the army could not sit still, and they all discussed whether they had gone in the wrong direction and had wrong goals.  Anxious Xue Wanche approached Li Jing and said, "General Manager, there is no way for us to wait like this. There is a serious shortage of food, horse and herbs, and it will not be good for us if we use it up. If Murong Fuyun has escaped, wouldn't we have been waiting in vain?  Wait?" Li Jing shook his head and said: "Impossible, Murong Fuyun has no reason to be faster than us." A simple sentence.?, but full of strong self-confidence.  Xue Wanche said anxiously: "But Murong Fuyun can't hide, so what should we do? We can't afford it" Li Jing smiled lightly and said, "Did General Xue forget General Hou?" Xue Wanche opened his mouth and said  Speechless.  When he first decided to pursue Tuyuhun, Li Jing decided to split his troops into two groups: one group, led by him personally, would attack Murong Fuyun in a roundabout way, while the other group, led by Hou Junji, would pursue Murong Fuyun along his escape route.  The place where Murong Fuyun escaped is called Poluozhen Valley, which is a famous place of death in Tuyuhun.  Because Poluo Zhen Valley is extremely harsh, not a single green plant can be seen for more than 2,000 miles, and there is no water source. There are only traces of individual snakes, insects, rats, and ants.  Murong Fuyun dared to escape into Poluo Zhen Valley because they were familiar with Po Luo Zhen Valley, and Hou Junji took this order based on his fearless courage and determination Since Hou Junji entered Po Luo Zhen Valley, he has completely  The news disappeared, and according to time calculation, it has been nearly four months Faced with such a situation, everyone in the army was not optimistic about the situation of Hou Junji's headquarters, but it was difficult and impossible to say.  Faced with Li Jing¡¯s rhetorical question, Xue Wanche really didn¡¯t know how to answer.  Li Jing stood up and said: "I know what you are thinking. They all think that General Hou is more likely to be in danger than anything else. But I can tell you for sure that with General Hou's ability, under the same circumstances, there is no one in the world who can defeat him reliably."  As a person, he is not a person who can be defeated by the environment. I can be sure of this" As he spoke, the person who first inspired him to love talents and intended to teach others what he had learned came to mind.  figure.  It's a pity that his bad character and character made him have to keep it in reserve, lest he spend all his efforts to teach a disciple who behaves treacherously.  Po Luo Zhen Valley.  King Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun hung his helmet on the saddle and let his dark, curly hair hang loosely on his shoulders.  He looked up at the sky. The clouds were gathering rapidly. Even the bravest birds did not dare to appear in this place of death.  The king of Tuyuhun was tall and muscular, as majestic and powerful as a lion.  A face with sharp edges and features that match perfectly, exuding the rough and bold charm of a prairie man.  But his brows were furrowed and his face was a little gloomy.  He really couldn't understand why Li Jing appeared in front of him. The Tang army led by Li Jing was like a heavenly soldier. Under his command, he kept winning and appeared at his weak spot, forcing him to the Poluo Zhen Valley.  Dare to move.  He knew that as soon as he left the Poluozhen Valley, his army would enter the Tang army's sight, and then become a lamb in the mouth of the evil wolf Li Jing's military use was too terrible, and his military level was beyond his understanding. Every blow  They can all hit his critical point accurately, leaving him unable to resist.  If possible, he hoped that he would never face Li Jing again in his life. This crushing IQ made him have no idea how to fight this battle.  Looking at the soldiers around him, they were all dirty and shriveled, with sallow faces and thin muscles. Their beards and hair had not been tidied up, and they were dirty and long. After thinking about it, he probably wouldn't be much better: The horror of Poluo Zhen Valley is that even the locals have lingering fears.  Yes, if they were not too familiar with the terrain and had wine and food hidden in front and in hiding places in order to escape, they would not dare to go deep into this place of death.  Originally, they thought that by entering Poluo Zhen Valley and entering the land of death, they would be able to completely get rid of the Tang army, preserve the fire of the "revolution", and make a comeback after recuperating.  However, he did not expect that Li Jing would appear in front of him, go deep into areas that the Tang army had never touched before, and block his way.  This time, Murong Fuyun was really helpless.  He was not sure of defeating the Tang army led by Li Jing, and he was even less sure of retreating to Poluo Zhen Valley and walking through the land of death again.  They could only hide in the hiding place of Poluo Zhen Valley, hoping that Li Jing would not be able to bear the exhaustion and withdraw his troops.  He didn¡¯t know what Tang Jun¡¯s situation was, but he knew everything about himself.  The food hidden in Poluozhen Valley has been almost consumed. Now the whole army is frugal and frugal. Even he, the king of Tuyuhun, has not had a full meal for seven or eight days.  Just when he was at a loss, an iron-clad army appeared behind Murong Fuyun.  Hou Junji!  Hou Junji's image at this moment is not that of a majestic general, but more like a beggar, even three points more miserable than a beggar, just like a savage in the mountains and forests.  Not only Hou Junji looked like this, but all Tang soldiers had the same virtue.  Dirtier than beggars, more chaotic than savages "Brothers!" Hou Junji roared, his voice now like a wolf: "Did you remember what we ate when we were hungry and what we drank when we drank?  ?" Hearing this, every Tang soldier's eyes widened.??Red.  The Poluozhen Valley, which is more than two thousand miles away from people, has no grass or water. From the beginning, they ate dry food when they were hungry, gnawed ice cubes when they were thirsty, and later they became stabbed horses and drank their blood. When they were hungry, they directly ate horse meat.  All the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that arrived were their food They were like wild beasts and savages all the way. The only thing that allowed them to persist to this day was the will of the soldiers.  "We have suffered such a heinous crime only because of the thieves in front of us. If you need to say anything else, take out your weapons just one word" (To be continued)
