In an oasis on the edge of the Qaidam Basin, more than a dozen small tribes moved here in advance under the order of King Tianzhu, ready to follow Fu Yun's footsteps, cross the Qaidam Basin and escape to Qiemo.
In the middle of the oasis, Murong shunzheng and more than a dozen tribal leaders were waiting nervously. Murong shunzheng could have followed Fu Yun to leave at the first time, but he took the initiative to ask to stay and meet the remaining Tuyuhun tribe. Fu Yun didn't want to see this son. He just fell out of sight and out of mind, so he agreed.
"King Tianzhu is back!" a sudden exclamation came from outside the tent.
The leaders quickly opened the military tent and went out. They saw that King Tianzhu came back with only 20 Pro guards, grabbed the food and ate it. It seemed that he had been hungry for several days.
"King Tianzhu, where are the warriors of my tribe?" a white haired old man looked at the scene in front of him. He looked around, but he didn't see the warriors of his tribe coming back.
The king of Tianzhu tried to fill in a few mouthfuls of food. Then he said angrily: "I had surrounded the Tang army and was about to destroy the Tang army, but I was disturbed by the mysterious army. Finally, I fell short and was caught up by the reinforcements of the Tang army. Our army was defeated!"
"Mysterious army!" Murong Shun's eyes flashed and couldn't help thinking of the thunderous roar of that day.
"Another big defeat."
All the tribal leaders are in a state of mourning. Those warriors are the backbone of their tribe. They haven't come back now. It seems that they can't come back.
"What can my tribe do?" the old man cried. This war left their tribe crippled. A tribe lost its youth. I'm afraid it will be sad in the future.
Many tribal leaders are not good at looking at the Tianzhu king one by one. This time, the Tianzhu king has made them suffer. Without 20 years of rest, their tribe may not be able to slow down.
"What a panic! As long as Khan is still there, I can't destroy Tuyuhun. I'm sure I can get justice for all the warriors in the future." King Tianzhu was flustered when he saw the eyes of the tribal leaders, so he quickly raised his voice and pretended to be a tiger.
"Khan!" many tribal leaders were shocked. Fu Yun had been in office for more than 30 years. It can be said that he had accumulated prestige for a long time. The leaders had no choice but to hang their heads.
When Tianzhu Wang Dun was proud, Fu Yun was his last backer. He believed that as long as Fu Yun was there, even if he lost the three tribes of Tianzhu, one day he would win back the one led by Ben.
However, he did not see Murong Shun, who had always been a puppet, shining in his eyes. During this period, he did not act as a puppet, but actively had a good relationship with a group of leaders.
The leaders used to be comfortable and stable in their own tribe as their own local emperor, but they fled in a hurry because of the war and lived a precarious life. Naturally, the leaders have long been dissatisfied. Now they have lost all the warriors of their own tribe. If they were not afraid of Fu Yun's reputation, they might even have eaten the king of Tianzhu.
"The Tang army is coming. If you don't hurry to prepare, we will move west immediately. We can't leave an animal to the Tang army." the king of Tianzhu said sternly.
A group of leaders were preparing to reluctantly promise. Suddenly Murong Shun took a big step and said proudly, "King Tianzhu, with a light word, you exposed the lives of tens of thousands of Tuyuhun warriors?"
All eyes immediately focused on Murong Shun. No one thought that Murong Shun would stand out for them at this time.
When King Tianzhu saw Murong Shun's face similar to that of a Han man, he couldn't help but sneer: "who should I be? It's the former crown prince! Are the Han people coming and you have a backer?"
The king of Tianzhu didn't take Murong Shun in his eyes at all. Fu Yun didn't like Murong Shun. The king of Tianzhu naturally liked it. He didn't give Murong shun a little stumbling block on weekdays.
Murong Shun's face suddenly became gloomy. The title of the former crown prince was a disgrace to his life. He not only lost his position that he should inherit, but also endured humiliation for 15 years because of his appearance.
To everyone's surprise, Murong Shun nodded without hesitation and said, "yes, the Han people are my backers."
The king of Tianzhu was stunned. He didn't expect Murong Shun to admit it so readily. At that moment, he said with great joy: "you haven't taken down the traitor yet. In my opinion, the traitor must have tipped off the defeat of our army."
"I don't see who dares! Fu Yun has fled to Qiemo and has only 10000 troops. How can he compete with the Tang army? Now what I need for Tuyuhun is not how to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but how to survive without subjugating the country and destroying the family. Murong Shun is the only chance for Tuyuhun to survive." Murong Shun said proudly.
The leaders of Tuyuhun couldn't help but brighten their eyes. Murong Shun is also half a Han man. If he defected to the Tang army, I'm afraid he would be the most suitable person to protect the tribes.
"King Tianzhu, I don't want to run away, I want to live." the old man led the first to stand up and say, now they have lost the warriors of the tribe. Even if they cross the deserted Qaidam Basin, they will only be merged by other tribes.
Other tribal leaders also nodded one after another. There are some women, children, old and weak in their tribe. I'm afraid they can't go far at all. Instead of being caught up by Tang Jun, they might as well take the initiative to surrender to Tang Jun. with Murong Shun, they can still live.
"You're plotting, so you're not afraid that Khan will come back and kill your whole family?" the king of Tianzhu said in horror. At the moment, he had heard bursts of shouts outside the tent, and the pro guards he brought back screamed repeatedly. It was obvious that they were being besieged.
Soon the cry of killing outside the tent was silent. Tianzhu Wang Dun was pale and gray.
"Since Khan abandoned us and fled, we will also abandon him. We will re-establish a new Khan, murongshun Khan." the old man stood on murongshun's side with ties and leaders.
The king of Tianzhu said with a tragic smile, "do you think Tang Jun will believe your defection?"
Murong Shun smiled coldly and said sternly, "if you want to surrender, you must have a name. Your head of Tianzhu king is the best name."
With the flash of a knife, a touch of blood suddenly sprayed on the felt tent, and the king of Tianzhu, who was arrogant in Tuyuhun, was finally killed.
Murong Shun laughed loudly with a bloody steel knife. He swallowed it for 15 years. Today, he finally came out of his evil spirit.
"See Khan!" the leaders fell to the ground one after another, regardless of whether they recognized Murong Shun in their hearts, and now Murong Shun is their only savior.
"What king Tianzhu is dead! Murong Shun is a Khan?" Li Jing said in surprise. The Tang army had just chased him for a short distance when he heard the news that the king Tianzhu killed by Murong Shun 'the whole country' defected.
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "the head has been sent. It has been verified by someone. It is indeed the king of Tianzhu."
He couldn't help sighing. He didn't expect that the king of Tianzhu, who almost killed him, would die like this.
Li Jing nodded and said, "let Li Daliang go to take over those Tuyuhun tribes, collect their weapons and horses, and settle on the spot."
"Yes!" a messenger hurried away immediately.
"General, Murong Shun is still waiting outside to see the general. I don't know the general..." Duan Zhixuan said.
Li Jing waved his hand and said, "our goal is Fu Yun, not Murong Shun. Inform Li Daliang to let him look after Murong Shun. His majesty will be of great use."
When the army roared past Murong Shun, he didn't pay attention to him at all. Murong Shun was still respectful. He was relieved when the army left. Tang Jun just collected the weapons and horses of these tribes. It seems that he is on the right road.
