Pei Zilie smiled: "Is it close to Jiuquan from here?"
Wei Yuancheng felt that he seemed to be asking the wrong question, but he didn't understand the key for a while, so he could only nod slowly.
"Then after we take a short rest, we will directly attack Jiuquan and even attack Dunhuang. The entire Hexi will be in our hands. Where can Murong Shifu run to?" Pei Zilie explained, "Crossing the desert, waiting for him,
There will be a dragnet, and he can only continue to go north and enter the grassland."
"Then Murong Shifu might ask for support from Xue Yantuo's tribe?" Wei Yuancheng suddenly had a bad association.
Xue Yantuo's tribe is not an honest person either.
"Isn't this good?" Pei Zilie asked back.
Wei Yuancheng was silent for a moment.
Well, yes, the court has always wanted to deal with the Xueyantuo people, but the Xueyantuo people are now very well-behaved, and the court really can't find an excuse.
If the people of Xue Yantuo hide Murong Shifu, then the big man will be able to make a name for himself.
So dark.
Wei Yuancheng couldn't help but complain.
It’s okay if those who play tactics are always dirty, why are you guys who play strategy so dirty?
In the end, Wei Yuancheng did not dare to say this directly.
Pei Zilie just smiled.
If we people were not ruthless, how could we get to where we are today?
This big man didn't cry.
It's just that the so-called cruelty depends on who you are dealing with. There is nothing worthy of sympathy when dealing with enemies, but it is absolutely not allowed to deal with one's own people.
Ahead, the Han army learned their lesson, and many infantry and cavalry were already arrayed on the north side. Cooperating with Pao Ze on the east and west sides, they pressed Murong Chazhong and Murong Xiaojun to the south.
Pei Zilie suddenly frowned: "These guys..."
Aren't you afraid that Murong's chariot will be heavy and they will take risks to attack the city?
But I'm afraid Murong Chaozhong and the others are already in disarray now, and they don't even know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city, right?
Wei Yuancheng next to him was already eager to try.
I don’t want to snatch the credit from my brothers in Paoze, but when the credit has been delivered to my door, how can I keep it?
"Fire!" Pei Zilie ordered decisively, "The cavalry is ready to attack!"
Wei Yuancheng hurriedly agreed, but the sound of cannons directly drowned out his call to summon his men.
The cannonballs were blown by the strong wind and fell into the crowd one after another.
The artillerymen who stayed behind on the city were already impatient.
At the same time, the artillery on the side of the Tuyuhun army under the city also opened fire, forming a crossfire and blocking the possibility of the Tuyuhun people approaching the city.
Of course, the Tuyuhun people made it clear that they didn't really want to get close to the city. They just lost ground under the pressure of the various departments of the Han army. At this time, they pushed forward again.
Stop making trouble, behind the Han army is roaring artillery fire, and there are countless soldiers watching eagerly. The current Tuyuhun army simply does not have the courage to attack the city wall!
Pei Zilie smiled to himself.
It was because I thought too much about the Tuyuhun people.
In this case, Wei Yuancheng doesn't need to...
The sound of horse hoofs neighed, and a group of cavalry rushed out from the north gate.
Pei Zilie was a little helpless.
Young people are just impatient.
But right now, isn't it the time to make contributions and compete for credit?
That group of cavalry was like an arrow from a string, piercing into the Tuyuhun camp.
Wherever it goes, it cuts through waves.
The sound of footsteps sounded again behind Pei Zilie, and the guards greeted him one after another. It turned out that Li Xun had already taken care of the battle on the south side and came calmly at this time.
"Murong Fuyun ran away?"
"Murong Shifu ran away?"
The two people said in unison, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"It's good to run away." Pei Zilie couldn't help sighing.
"Now let's see how long Murong Xiaojun and Murong Chezhong can hold on." Li Xun pursed his lips.
"No matter how long they persist, they can't escape." Pei Zilie said directly, "Why, are you planning to take a share of the pie?"
"Let the young people rob it." Li Xun couldn't help but smile.
"You and I are not old yet, why don't we go out of the city and fight for a while?" Pei Zilie said with a smile.
Li Xun was startled, and then he handed over his hand: "I would like to be a pioneer for the Duke!"
"All troops, attack!" Pei Zilie suddenly drew his saber.
——————————
In the golden autumn of October, the sky is high and the clouds are light.
In the city of Chang'an, the fallen leaves are rustling.
Li Xingchen was leaning on the soft couch under the corridor, the breeze was blowing gently, the heat of the past was no longer there, even the autumn tiger had passed.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was holding the scroll and turning the pages, feeling very good.
Half a month ago, Chang'an had received good news from Hexi. The Han Dynasty and Tuyuhun's main force fought a bloody battle outside Zhangye City, annihilating almost all the Murong clan's main troops under Murong Shifu. Unfortunately, Murong Fuyun and Murong Shifu escaped before the battle.
, although the Han army tried their best to search after the war, they were unfamiliar with the place and found nothing in the end.
As for Murong's two right-hand men, Murong Xiaojun and Murong Chezhong, the latter had died in the rebel army, while the former was seriously injured and captured, but finally saved his life, which also made it difficult for the prisoners to be sacrificed in the Hexi victory.
As for there being only a group of heads.
Not catching the Murong brothers was what Li Xinchen had expected.
After all, this pair of brothers in history were not very outstanding in governing the country, but they were really good at rubbing oil on the soles of their feet.
And the military has made it clear that it has other plans.
Murong Shifu entered the desert to the north, and then possibly entered the grassland, while Murong Fuyun entered the Qilian Mountains to the south, making it clear that he was going to return to Fuqi City.
In this way, whether the imperial court marches to the north or south, it will be regarded as a well-known force.
Moreover, almost all the soldiers and horses loyal to the Murong clan were wiped out in this battle. This means that even if the Murong brothers can return to Fuqi City, it will be difficult to form a climate, and there is even the possibility of their own soldiers and horses rebelling.
Already waiting for them.
As for Pei Zilie, since he won this battle, of course he must take advantage of the victory to attack.
Zhang Xutuo's figure has appeared in the corridor.
Li Xingchen glanced at Yu Chizhen, who was sleeping soundly on his lap, and couldn't help but shook his head. This little secretary of his was really unreliable. He knew how to sleep every day, and he was most energetic only when eating.
Yan Pi is still useful.
It's a pity that autumn is approaching, and Yan Bi, as an imperial envoy, went to inspect on behalf of His Majesty.
After all, Yan Bi will still have to go out in the field. With this opportunity to practice everywhere, Li Xingchen is still willing to let Yan Bi do it. Anyway, there is not only one person in the secretary supervisor now. The rest of the things, the young boys in the secretary supervisor
It can be done, so even if one of the secretaries in charge sleeps holding His Majesty's lap every day, and the other is no longer in Chang'an, it doesn't mean it can't function.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xutuo saw the curtains drawn up and knew that the scene inside was probably inconvenient for foreign ministers to see. He immediately stood still at the foot of the steps and said, "The Duke of Jin has sent a memorial. Our army has conquered Jiuquan."
, and will attack Shazhou, and another partial division has already marched towards Fuqi City."
