Tuyuhun, also called Tuhun in the Tang Dynasty, is a country composed mainly of nomadic people, in the Sui Dynasty was driven out of Qinghai for a period of time, and later because of geographical location and other reasons, the Sui Dynasty did not control the land it occupied well, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty was its ruler Fu Yun to recover the lost land.

At the same time, this Tuyuhun continued to expand to the west and north, but at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, and it was unable to take care of Fu Yun at all, so it repeatedly let it succeed and encroached on a large area of land in the Central Plains.

It's just that this time Fu Yun once again led his troops to attack and harass the Tang Border Prefecture, but its purpose was very incomprehensible, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji and others tried countless times in Chang'an to analyze the purpose of this Fu Yun to low, but in the end it was all to no avail.

The Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period was not the end of the Sui Dynasty, and provoking the Tang Dynasty at this time was clearly an act of looking for death, and this kind of simple thing should be seen by people with a little knowledge.

However, Fu Yun still launched an attack during this period, I don't know if he had ulterior motives or fearlessness, but no matter what the reason, no one should know his purpose except himself.

"Father, there are fifty miles ahead of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, is the army resting?" Fifty miles outside the city of Liangzhou, Fu Yun's son Fu Shun rushed back from the front and came to Fu Yun, who was located in the Chinese army, to report.

"Forward, twenty miles further forward." Fu Yun didn't give him a good look just because Fu Shun was his son, and he didn't even look at his son.

"Yes." Fu Shun seemed to have gotten used to it, and he didn't have any resistance to Fu Yun's behavior, so he honestly agreed and then retreated, and the team that had stopped soon moved in again, heading towards Liangzhou in the distance.

Fu Yun, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, recovered the four counties that were lost in his hands, and at that time he thought that the powerful Sui Dynasty was nothing more than that, but when he wanted to conquer a few more cities, he found that the opponent had been replaced, and the former Great Sui Dynasty disappeared overnight, and his opponent became the Tang Dynasty.

This sudden change made him hesitate, wondering if a new regime that could defeat the Great Sui Dynasty could be provoked by him. It was this hesitation that made him stop attacking and began to observe Datang, and this observation was more than ten years.

But now he decided not to observe, because if he continued to observe, Tuyuhun would not be far from the destruction of the country.

In recent years, Datang Songzhou has been desperately buying yaks, a species that could only be used as livestock before, and the high price even if he, the lord of Tuyuhun country, was a little moved when he heard it.

The high price made all the herdsmen start yak breeding, whether it is Tubo or Tuyuhun, and the nobles of those countries will not let go of this good opportunity to make money, and they use the power in their hands to frantically develop new pastures to breed more yaks.

However, the plateau is barren, and there are only so many pastures suitable for farming, and after all of them are developed, if you want more pastures, you can only use other means.

So the battle for pastures broke out irreversibly, from skirmishes to large-scale violence and bloodshed, and finally to skirmishes.

Tubo, which had just been integrated by Songtsen Gampo, needed an opponent at this time to vent some internal contradictions, and with the introduction of a small-scale war, Xiao Songtsan naturally would not let it go.

So almost overnight, nearly 150,000 troops killed Tuyuhun at the same time, ostensibly to retaliate for war, but in fact for those pastures.

As a result, a big battle broke out between the two sides on the border, and the result was that Fu Yun was defeated, and was chased by the Tibetan army for hundreds of miles before he was able to escape.

There is no way to live, this is really no way to live, a country composed of nomads, if it loses all its pasture, then what is left?

It was in this situation that Fu Yun had no choice but to attack Datang, he couldn't beat Tubo, so he wanted to gamble on Datang, if he succeeded, it would be tantamount to finding a way for his people to live, and if he failed...... Then it will fail, and the left and right will only be a death.

It was for this purpose that Fu Yun rushed to Liangzhou with his army of 100,000 and began the last gambling in his life.

The sound of horns, the roar of war drums, and the dense crowd of people in the open space outside Liangzhou City, are not an exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming.

"Listen to the Liangzhou guard, our lord said, you wait for the city to surrender as soon as possible, maybe you can spare your life in the future, otherwise after our army breaks the city, you will definitely slaughter the whole city."

A small soldier who could speak Chinese was sent out of the military formation, standing under the city of Liangzhou and shouting loudly, but it could be seen from the trembling legs that although this guy shouted fiercely, he was also afraid of death in his heart.

Duan Zhan, the eldest son of Duan Zhixuan's family, dressed as a school captain, stood on top of the city, looked coldly at the little soldiers shouting outside the city, and said to a soldier beside him: "Quack, kill him!" ”

"Whoa!" The sergeant on the side had already heard enough of the half-baked Chinese dialect of this goods, Duan Zhan's voice had just fallen, and he had already pulled out the pulley bow in his hand, and at the same time he agreed, the bowstring sounded, and he went straight to the city with a black light.

"The people of the city...... Yes! Before Tuyuhun's third shout was over, what he was worried about had already happened, looking at the long arrow passing through his chest, screaming and wanting to run back to his position, but in the end it was just a few futile struggles.

"Bold ......" Fu Shun, who was observing the situation on the battlefield from afar, shouted angrily, he really didn't expect that the Tang defenders on the opposite side would really be so bold, and in the face of the siege of more than 100,000 troops, they would dare to shoot the first arrow.

"Your Royal Highness, what shall we do?" A famous king of Tuyuhun immediately stood by Fu Shun's side, looked at the towering city wall in the distance, and asked in a condensed voice.

"Beat the drums, siege the city!" Fu Shun gritted his back molars and spat out four words.

There is no way, no matter whether the current situation is to capture Liangzhou or not, you have to try it, otherwise the morale that you just mentioned will definitely fall short.

"Dismount, siege!" The famous king beside Fu Shun carried out his orders very thoroughly, without hesitation.

Everyone knows the current situation, as long as Liangzhou City is taken, then the decadence caused by Tuyuhun's defeat and expulsion by Tubo will be reversed immediately, and the next battle will be easier.

But if you can't take Liangzhou, then everything will be over, you will lose your own pasture, and you can't take the strong city of the Tang Dynasty, and the Qiang people who have no livelihood will have no way to live, so ...... Everything is pinned on this battle.
