The Murong clan has ruled Tuyuhun for many years, but this does not mean that there are many people inside and outside who do not agree with them and want to replace them.
It's just that no one dared to jump out before.
Now that the Murong clan has suffered repeated defeats, the morale of the army has been frustrated, and the Murong clan's prestige will definitely drop to the lowest point. At this time, any dispute or dissatisfaction may directly trigger the outbreak of internal conflicts in Tuyuhun.
If Han reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, they must have come from the east of the city. If there was a fire in the north of the city, it could only be that Tuyuhun was causing civil strife.
Especially Liang Qucong, who was stationed in the north of the city, was originally at odds with the Murong clan of Tuyuhun. In history, when the Tang army attacked Tuyuhun, the Murong clan fought and retreated around Qinghai Lake, while Liang Qucong led his troops to run south.
Liang Qucong ran in the other direction, which directly caused Tuyuhun's originally relatively strong force on paper to be divided into two, and even caused Hou Junji and others to pursue them all the way south to the foot of Tanggula Mountain.
Historically, this guy has been so capable. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for him to refuse to submit to Murong Shifu's orders and insist on causing trouble.
Even after Yu Wenxin understood the basic information inside Tuyuhun at the beginning, he judged that Liang Qucong would definitely look for opportunities to attack the Murong family.
This is a good time.
Once successful, Tuyuhun may really change hands.
Even if Liang Qucong led the remaining troops to flee back in embarrassment, he would still be the king of Tuyuhun, not a general and tribal chief now.
But Murong Shifu himself should also know what Liang Qucong was thinking, so the one stationed in the northeast of the city was Murong Chezhong, and the one stationed in the northwest was Murong Xiaojun. They were all important officials of the Tuyuhun royal family.
.
Especially since this Murong Xiaojun is also known as Tuyuhun's think tank, he must be a resourceful person himself. He is stationed in the northwest of the city, and his intention to guard Liang Qucong should not be too obvious.
Moreover, Murong Shifu's arrangement had another purpose.
You must know that not all soldiers and horses in the Tuyuhun army are working hard to kill. There are many tribal leaders, such as Liang Qucong, who are watching the fun and waiting to drink soup. This is why Murong Shifu is organizing the vanguard to attack Anding.
At that time, almost half of Murong's direct troops had to be transferred to Murong Fuyun, because these were the only soldiers and horses in Murong's hands that could really obey orders and could fight and defend. Otherwise, Liang Qucong and others
They led their troops to An Ding, but if they could not protect them, they had secretly communicated with the big man on the way, and then turned around and gave Murong a hammer.
Since the Tuyuhun army attacked the northwest, they have experienced successive hard battles. The soldiers and horses under Murong's command suffered heavy losses. However, the losses of many large and small tribes represented by Liang Qucong were actually not very large, and most of these losses occurred during the Tuyuhun attack.
When Wuwei's peripheral defense line.
At that time, soldiers and horses from various tribes were arriving one after another. No one knew whether the enemy was strong or not, and this also meant that those who arrived first spoke softly and were directly pushed forward as cannon fodder, and could only hold their noses.
Accepted, and the subsequent tribes naturally had nothing to say. This was the situation in which the various tribes of Tuyuhun took turns to go into battle, leaving the Wuwei defenders no time to even change their defenses.
But after experiencing a lot of losses at the beginning, it was obvious that everyone became smarter.
Why should we rush to the front and be cannon fodder? Do you really think we won't join forces to resist?
Perhaps he also understood this truth, so Murong Shifu really didn't let these guys be the main attacker after that. Facts have proved that when Tuyuhun troops attacked Wuwei for the second time, these guys started to sneak around and attack the city in a swarm.
Just like scratching an itch, we retreated after making a fuss, and the whole team had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. But who can say that our momentum is not huge and our attack is not fierce?
At that time, it could almost be said that during the entire battle, except for the main force of the Tuyuhun Murong clan who attacked the southeast corner gate, the rest of the battlefield was simply a tacit battle.
In this way, Liang Qucong and others naturally controlled their losses to the minimum.
It was impossible for Murong Shifu to really watch him do this, so they were actually raising Liang Qucong like a sheep. When the time was right, they would naturally start cutting the wool, no matter whether Liang Qucong would react or not.
, he had to rebel. Only in this way could Murong find an excuse to devour his men in one go, and do so as prisoners. After that, Liang Qucong's soldiers and horses would be the best cannon fodder.
Don't ask why Murong is so skilled. At first, Tuyuhun surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then surrendered to the Turks, but in the end, he stabbed both sides. When it comes to riding on the wall, Liang Qucong did not have the experience of Murong.
Therefore, the Murong family would not give Liang Qucong a chance to succeed in his rebellion. When the chaos broke out, the eager armies would pounce directly on them, even more violently than against the Han army.
This is why Xiao Xun, who originally led his troops to guard the north gate, looked strange after returning to the government office.
Just now, Xiao Xun organized his troops to attack northward and briefly captured the North City Gate. Although they were soon counterattacked by Tuyuhun troops, he had already figured out the chaos outside the city.
"Liang Qu Cong led his troops to attack to the west. At this time, he had already fought with Murong Xiaojun's troops. Murong Xiaojun had reason to suspect that he was responsible for monitoring Liang Qu Cong, not for attacking the city." Xiao Xun.
He stretched out his hand to move the small flag on the sand table. "I just took a cursory glance and found that there were trenches outside this guy's camp, and the camp was also heavily fortified. It was as if we could fight out of the city. I don't know if it was."
To guard against our night attack, or to prevent Liang Qucong from escaping directly from here."
Yu Wenxin and Shi Wansui looked at each other in silence.
Suddenly they have a feeling of sadness and shame.
That's it?
Such a group of opponents actually beat us up in such a embarrassing manner. In the end, we found that they dealt with their own people more harshly than they dealt with us.
"Could it be a scam?" Shi Wansui murmured.
Even he, who has always been fearless, felt a little worried at this time.
What should I do if I fall into a trap if I attack rashly?
There aren't that many defenders in the city.
But if we wait and see what happens, Liang Qucong may really be defeated.
At that time, it will be the Han army's turn to have a headache. After all, the enemy's feint attacks in other directions may turn into a fierce main attack. The desire of Liang Qucong's soldiers and horses who will be captured by then to survive cannot be underestimated.
"Where are the soldiers and horses of the Gaochang people?" Yu Wenxin asked directly.
"It was originally stationed in the southeast of the city. At this time... at least my subordinates have not seen it." Xiao Xun said hurriedly.
Shi Wansui also shook his head.
The number of these Western Region soldiers and horses was not large, and they were not conspicuous during previous battles, so no one really paid much attention to them.
