Helan Chushi immediately stood up and swore to the sky: "Zhao Guogong has misunderstood. The Helan family has absolutely nothing to do with the Fang family! I immediately ordered all the private soldiers in the family to take charge of my uncle and father and rushed outside the Xuanwu Gate. That is Helan
Even if everyone in my family is dead, I will never lose the reputation of Guan Long!"
He wanted to rely on the Fang family, but the problem was that the Fang family didn't like him at all!
The benefits of the Fang family have been tainted by the Helan family. If Changsun Wuji thinks that the two families are secretly colluding and holds a grudge, wouldn't it be an injustice to the world?
With Changsun Wuji's ruthless character, even if this military remonstrance is destined to fail, he will definitely drag the Helan family down before he dies...
When everyone saw Helan Chushi being so humble, they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
The Helan tribe that used to dominate the Northland has been reduced to today's Sun Buxiao. If those heroic ancestors who assisted Emperor Daowu in conquering the Central Plains had known about it, I don't know if I would cry or laugh...
However, facing Changsun Wuji's coercion, everyone felt heavy-hearted, knowing that if they could not make a promise that satisfied Changsun Wuji today, it would be difficult to walk out of the door behind them.
Dugu Lan was the first to speak: "Today, the situation is unpredictable, and it is time for all families to work together to overcome the difficulties. My family will gather all the people and integrate them into the army to support Zhao Guogong's drive."
Everyone despises you. Previously, your Dugu family had the most determined attitude towards separatism, but now you are the first to give in. It is really disgusting...
Yuwenshi nodded and said, "The same goes for the Yuwen family."
Then, everyone started making noises and said in unison: "The same goes for my family!"
Changsun Wuji chuckled and said with satisfaction: "As long as Guanlong and Guanlong are united, what difficulties can there be in the world that can stump us? The glory and wealth in this world should be allowed to be enjoyed by our Guanlong families for generations to come! Everyone, please still
Please return home quickly and use the best of your clan to launch a general attack in the evening. We will not spare any effort and complete our victory in one battle!"
"Here!"
"My honor?"
…
After all the representatives from Guanlong families had dispersed, Changsun Wuji rubbed his temples and slowly straightened up on the bed. The wound on his leg hurt so much that he clenched his molars. But the pain in his body was far away.
Far less unbearable than the despair in my heart.
He knows that from today on, Guanlong will be completely dispersed and disappear forever in history. Even if each family still exists in the future, they will no longer be united and forge ahead, and will even go in opposite directions with resentment!
Of course, he was not completely unprepared for this day...
In fact, the bloodlines of the Guanlong families have destined that this alliance can only be formed temporarily. Now that the families have been united for more than a hundred years, it is already a huge anomaly.
The reason for this is that several bloodlines at the core of Guanlong are at odds with each other. This is the alienation rooted in the bloodline. Although the differences between each other can be eliminated by temporary advantages and disadvantages, it will never be possible to merge into one.
The Guanlong Clan arose in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, before that, each family had its own dominance, and they cooperated with each other in attacks and attacks. The situation was different. For example, the Dugu tribe and the Helan tribe were all descended from the Xiongnu tribe.
, represents the power and interests of Mobei, while the Tuoba tribe, the core of Guanlong, are Xianbei people from Liaodong. They have different foundations, different bloodlines, and naturally different interests. It’s just that the times create heroes, and everyone rises together in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Afterwards, our interests were aligned, so we remain connected to this day.
However, as the Changsun clan within the Tuoba tribe, they naturally inherited the interests of the Tuoba clan. When the world was at peace and foreign enemies were eliminated, their own interests would inevitably conflict with those of other Guanlong clans.
Disputes will arise sooner or later, but the current war will expand and accelerate the rift between them...
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji endured the pain of his leg injury, managed to get up, and let his servants help him to the outside. He had to personally keep an eye on various military affairs, mobilize troops and horses at any time, and strive to determine the overall situation before Fang Jun rushed back to Chang'an. , otherwise he really doesn’t have much confidence in facing the elite soldiers under Fang Jun’s command.
At present, the power of the Guanlong clan is almost exhausted. Even if he threatens today, it is difficult to squeeze out much more power. On the contrary, the clans in Hedong are strong, but he has sent people to contact them several times and invited them to The head of the family rushed to Chang'an to discuss the plan, but achieved little success.
Today, each family only sent some important clan members, and none of the family heads were seen...
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji had a resolute face. The loneliness, anger and other emotions that had surfaced just now disappeared. Only his heart was as solid as stone, unshakable. He wanted to rely on his own strength to withstand the world and restore the Changsun family to the world. The glory of the early years of Zhenguan is passed down from generation to generation and rests with the country!
*****
Changsun Wuji's intimidation was very effective today. Although the Guanlong clan was about to be divided and each had their own agenda, after all, the former Guanlong leader's power still remained. Even though the situation was unpredictable and the future was unclear, the Guanlong clan still gathered intensively after returning. There were only soldiers and horses left in the clan, and at ten o'clock in the evening, more than ten thousand elites gathered outside Chang'an City.
Changsun Wuji did not hesitate, issued a military order, and mobilized 30,000 cavalry to rush westward along the Wei River to the Linyou area to intercept Fang Jun's army. The army broke camp and set off that night. After a quick march overnight, they arrived at Wuting River at ten noon the next day. At the junction with the Wei River, we set up camp and formed a battle array, waiting for work and waiting for Fang Jun's army to attack.
The leader of the army is He Lanyan, the head of the Helan family.
The Helan family was a branch of the Huns. After the decline of the Xiongnu, they gathered in Mobei and nomadically lived here. Later, when Helan Ne was the head of the family, Tuoba Tuo, who supported his nephew Tuoba Xianbei tribe, held a tribal alliance meeting in Niuchuan. He inherited the throne of Dai King and was later renamed King of Wei.
However, as Tuoba Gui's power grew stronger, the Helan tribe that originally supported him became the Tuoba tribe's main opponent in completing the unification of the north. After several battles, Hene was defeated and surrendered to Tuoba Gui, and later participated in the pacification of the Central Plains and established the Northern Wei Dynasty. Foundation...
Today, the glory of the Helan tribe has long faded. He Lanyan's uncle once served as General Zuo Wuhou in the Sui Dynasty and did not have much real power. Seeing that his son Helan Shiren was incompetent, he could only place his hopes on him. The Guanlong clan gave full support and followed their lead. Finally, thanks to the accession of His Majesty Li Er to the throne, the Helan family was able to maintain some glory and wealth.
But now, the glory of the Helan family has long since withered and died like the withered grass under the ice and snow, losing its color...
"call!"
He Lanyan let out a heavy breath. When he saw the scouts riding in the distance, he dismounted and came closer. He shouted, "Have you found any traces of the enemy?"
The scout lowered his head and said: "No, but there are common people and merchants along the way. Some people say that Xiaoguan has fallen, and Fang Jun's army is resting outside Xiaoguan."
He Lanyan was not an incompetent person. After all, he still held the post of General Zuo Yiwei and was good at leading troops in battle. Hearing this, he said: "Don't relax your vigilance. The scouts will go forward for another thirty miles. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"
Although Jun's army is resting in Xiaoguan, it will definitely send vanguard troops to attack Chang'an and clear obstacles along the way. Don't be careless!"
"Here!"
The scout took the order, mounted his horse again, and galloped away.
Looking at the retreating figures of the scouts, and then looking at the camp next to the Wei River, He Lanyan breathed a sigh of relief. Since Fang Jun traveled thousands of miles straight to the capital, he must be full of cavalry, otherwise he would not be so fast. This place is
At the intersection of the Wei River and the Wuting River, he ordered the pontoon bridge on the Wei River to be demolished. Although the Wuting River next to the Wuting River is not towering, it is full of wind and snow in winter, and it is not possible for cavalry to fly across it.
.
If the enemy cavalry wants to go to Chang'an from now on, they can only break through the area between Wuting River and Weishui River, and also cross the frozen Wuting River. You only need to set up a more rigorous formation, and the enemy cavalry wants to break through the camp.
, as difficult as climbing to the sky.
At this time, it was almost noon. He Lanyan returned to the camp with his troops, had a brief lunch and drank a pot of hot tea. Then he put on the swords on his waist and walked out of the camp to personally command the soldiers in front of the camp.
We set up a horse and deer camp, but unfortunately it was freezing cold and the ground was as solid as iron under the ice and snow, making it impossible to dig a horse trap, resulting in a slightly inadequate defense in front of the camp.
But look at the icy Wei River that is not frozen solid on one side, and the Wuting River that rushes in from north to south on the other side. In such a narrow area, our own hedgehogs have gathered tens of thousands of cavalry, how can they block Fang Jun's attack?
A cavalryman who has traveled thousands of miles and is exhausted, right?
In the distance, more than ten war horses were galloping in the wind and snow. Helanyan's eyesight was very good, and he could see from a distance that they were his own scouts.
Before more than ten scouts could get closer, they shouted at the top of their lungs from horseback: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The entire camp was in an uproar. He Lanyan also felt his heart sinking and ordered: "Beat the drums, line up in formation, and supervise the troops to come forward. Anyone who disrupts the formation or confuses the morale of the army will be killed!"
"Here!"
Soldiers on the left and right rushed towards the army, drums sounded, and the restless army gradually calmed down, and large and rigorous arrays gradually formed.
In the distance, amid the wind and snow, a strange army suddenly jumped out wherever the eye could see, and the dull sound of hoofbeats was as shocking as rolling thunder on the horizon.
