The northwest wind cuts his pale face without blood like a knife. He is only in his twenties, but his heart and his face are already old as if they are aged old man with frosty temples on his hair and drooping. All of this is just to welcome a most gorgeous turn, otherwise, what would have been hidden in the "blood husband" in another identity and way over the years?

Since his blood-related uncle left everything aside and went to Wei Chao to welcome the bride, everything has changed. Perhaps his grandfather had already expected this when he was alive, so he quietly left a way out for the Tuoba family, but he had the name of a Han man - Li Ganshun.

In 634 AD (the eighth year of Zhenguan), Tuyuhun rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty sent general Li Jing to attack. Tuoba Chici had a marriage relationship with the Tuyuhun royal family and sent troops to help Tuyuhun fight against the Tang army. Tuoba Chici led his troops to station troops in Langdao Gorge (also known as Langdaopo, now in Diebu County, Gansu), and resisted on the dangerous ground. Jiu Qie Luosheng, the governor of Tang Guzhou (now west of Hualong County, Qinghai), sent someone to persuade him to surrender. Tuoba Chici was in conjunction with the envoy. People said, "I have been kind to the relatives of Tuyuhun, and I am loyal to each other. I don't know anything else. You should leave quickly to avoid defiling my knife!" He showed his position at that time. After hearing what he said, Luo Sheng was very angry, so he led his elite cavalry to break through his rear base, Suyuan Mountain. However, Emperor Taizong of Tang did not order to take advantage of the victory, but took the opportunity to persuade Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou (now Min County, Gansu), to persuade Tuoba Chici to surrender.

Chici's subordinate Tuoba Sitou carried him on his back and agreed to surrender. His subordinate Tuoba Xidou also led his troops to surrender. Seeing that the people were betrayed by their relatives, Tuoba Sitou followed the Tang Dynasty with Tuoba Sitou after many persuasions from the Tang Dynasty. The Later Tang government set up Yi, Zuo, Lin, and Ke to 32 states in his residence, and appointed the leader of the surrendered tribe as the governor, and appointed Tuoba Chici as the governor of Xirongzhou, and was given the surname Li, and was controlled by the Songzhou Governor's Office.

Tuoba Chici was the first Dangxiang person to be given a surname by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At this point, the Tuoba family left this supreme glory to his descendants, and they also followed the surname Li after that. Although the ancestors did not expect that their descendants would be burdened by this surname, in fact, as long as they think about it, whether the surname Tuoba or Li, as long as they have the blood of their ancestors in their bodies, they will definitely be wiped out when the dynasty changes. Wu Zetian even dared to kill his own son. As a person with the opposite sex who is somewhat incompatible with the current Western Yi Xiao family, at such a panic moment, it seems that it is extremely difficult to clamp down and be a human being. At this point, there seems to be only one way left--rebellion, let alone the world's surname is Li, However, it still took a lot of effort to unite other tribes. They only made a seemingly simple but difficult proposal to him. If Li Ganshun could solve the military expenditure for the uprising, they were willing to accompany him and be willing to support Li Ganshun as king again. The promise of the Dangxiang people is as indestructible as a rock, a promise of a thousand yuan and trustworthy. Therefore, the prerequisite for whether to succeed or not is now placed on his shoulders. As long as he can raise the military funds before the uprising, this matter is at least half successful. Although the devil training of the "blood husband" and the rapid growth of a man in recent years, he just quickly became a leader in charge of everything in the future, he seemed not ready.

However, this will not stop him from becoming the true king. Any emperor who achieves the cause of overlords will always be surrounded by a group of wise men with extraordinary abilities, extraordinary martial artists, those who work hard to govern people, and those who work hard to govern people. Li Ganshun deeply agrees with this ever-changing truth.

As the Yeli family, which was once the most prominent and famous family of Dangxiang, at its most glorious time, the Yeli brothers, the leader of the Yeli family, almost took charge of the two most elite troops of the Western Yi. Yeli Wangrong led the Left Xiang Army, known as the "King of Yeli". Yeli Yuqi led the Right Xiang Army, known as the "King of Tiandu". Since the two leaders of the Yeli family were defeated by Zhong Shiheng's counter-espionage plan and were beheaded one after another, the status of the Yeli family has declined. As the saying goes, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse." In recent years, the status of the Yeli family has become worse and worse. As the saying goes, "A thin camel is bigger than a horse." There are also several figures in the Yeli family. On the surface, the Yeli family and the Li family are in a state of power. In fact, over the years, the Yeli family and the Li family have been in private contact. As the new leader of the Yeli family, Yeli Changge has a long-term vision that no one has ever had in the clan. He knew that the Xiao family, who was replaced by the middle, would definitely not sit on the throne for a long time, not to mention that now it is still a yellow-haired girl, Xiao Zhijun, who ruled behind the curtain, which almost annoyed the two major families of the royal family Weiming Awu and the royal family Renduo Baozhong.

Xiao Zhijun's several strategic failures also further aggravated the originally precarious Xiao regime.

...The prince-in-law Xiao Qiang gathered troops to Weizhou and threatened to attack Huanhuan and Qing two prefectures. Zhang Qi, the commander of the Weijingzheng, found that the Xiyi border camps were two or thirty miles apart, and each camp was only 800 people stationed, and most of them were too old and weak. He ordered the general of the Zhe family to lead 8,000 Jingyuan cavalry, and rushed to Weizhou for a day and one night. He quickly defeated the Western Yi soldiers defending the city. Zhe Keshi led his troops straight into the military supervisory office and captured a large number of livestock and artifacts. On the way back, the Western Yi army followed quietly from the rear, intending to launch an attack while it was unprepared. Zhe Keshi took the opportunity to set up an ambush on the way, defeated the Western Yi army, beheaded the two leaders, killed countless soldiers, and captured thousands of horses.

...When the prince-in-law Xiao Qiang saw that the Wei Dynasty built Dingyuan City in Xihe, he built a beacon tower near it and sent 5,000 Western Yi troops to garrison it. When the guards had action, they could send an alarm to the mainland. Zhe Keshi led 6,000 soldiers to sneak into the Western Yi territory, and in advance found the name of the Western Yi army guarding the beacon tower, and then pretended to be an enemy officer to check the sentry, called the name to deceive the beacon to be beheaded, so that the beacon fire could not be transmitted, and the Western Yi army fled. Seeing that the Wei Dynasty built Dingyuan City in Xihe, he built a beacon tower near it and sent 5,000 Western Yi troops to garrison it.

...Xiao Zhijun personally led a 100,000 army to attack Huanzhou. There were sandy dikes outside Huanzhou. There was a water source a hundred miles away from the city. Before the Western Yi army passed by, Zhang Yue sent people to poison the water. When the Western Yi army passed by, many people were poisoned to death. The Western Yi army besieged Huanzhou for seven days and was forced to retreat. Zhang Yue ordered Zhe Keshi to lead 10,000 elite troops to ambush Hongdezhai, where the Western Yi army must pass. The large number of Western Yi army troops passed by this place soon, and Zhe Keshi ordered to release it. The front army rushed towards the enemy central army where Xiao Zhijun was located. The Western Yi army was caught off guard and went into chaos. Xiao Zhijun's flag was conspicuous, and all guards rushed towards his troops bravely. Xiao Zhijun organized tens of thousands of the most elite iron kites to fight back, and Zhe Keshi led the deathly generals to defeat him. Seeing that he could not fight, Xiao Zhijun abandoned his curtains and jewelry, put on civilian clothes, and fled in a panic. While running away, the Western Yi army trampled on each other and was killed in countless cases, and those who fell on the cliffs were corpses everywhere.

...The prince-in-law Xiao Qiang sent an envoy to express his guilt because the Wei Dynasty cut off the year's gift. The Wei Dynasty's border guard thought it was a guard, and the Western barbarians negotiated peace, so he relaxed his defense. However, the Western barbarians' apologized in the territory, but Xiao Qiang took the guards and was unprepared to the border and led his troops to invade Yan and Linzhou. Zhang Yun, the general of Jingyuan Road, was extremely angry at the Western barbarians' rebellion, and led the elite troops to enter the Western barbarians and headed straight to Youzhou. Xiao Qiang sent three thousand cavalry to stop him, but was defeated by Zhang Yun's army. The commander of Youzhou abandoned the city and fled. Liang Ayi, the Western barbarians' supervisor, led thousands of iron cavalry to support him and launched several charges to Zhang Yun's army, but they were all repelled. Zhang Yun took the enemy's cavalry exhausted and confiscated the troops to kill him, and the Western barbarians were defeated.

...After Zhang Yun captured Youzhou and retreated, the Western Yi took Youzhou again. The military commander Lu Huiqing ordered the general of Xihe, Wang Min, to lead troops to capture Youzhou. The Western Yi commander He Langluo led his troops to support him. He was defeated by Wang Min's army. The guards took advantage of the victory to capture Youzhou. He Langluo sent his generals to challenge him, and was shot back by the guards' god arm bow, causing heavy losses. In August, the guards' chief Liu An led his troops into the Western Yi territory, killing the intercepting troops sent by the Xiao family, and the troops headed straight to Xiazhou City. The Liang family ordered

While defending, he sent envoys to Daliao to ask for help. Daliao still condemned Wei in writing but refused to send troops. Due to the large-scale confrontation of the Western Yi Dynasty, the Dushan tribe in Xiatian moved far away with cattle, sheep, and food. Xihe Road dispatched 40,000 troops to advance to Tiandu Mountain. The Western Yi Military Supervisor Office fought with 100,000 cavalry and was defeated and retreated westward. The Guards entered the Tiandu Military Supervisor Office, but had nothing to get. The Guards were about to be exhausted, and nearly half of them died of hunger and thirsty, so they had to retreat.

...The guards of Jingyuan Road also went deep into the Western Yi territory several times, captured the Xiyi garrison, and captured a lot of people. The general Miao Lu, the general of Fuyan Road, rushed into the Western Yi territory and besieged Xiazhou. The Xiao family sent general Weiming Qile to lead troops to support, but was hit by the Miao Lu tribe, losing tens of thousands of troops. Miao Lu rushed to chase after him for 50 miles. Under the counterattack of various guards, the Western Yi suffered heavy losses, and there were many internal supporters in the Western Yi territory. The Western Yi imperial envoy, Chengrenduo Chu Qing, was the son of the famous general Renduolingding. After Lingding died in the battle, his nephew Renduo Baozhong served as the chief army. Although Chu Qing was the prime minister, he had no military power. He asked Xiao several times to take charge of military power, but was rejected. So he took advantage of the opportunity of the guards entering the country to surrender the clan. The army supervisor's sister, He Qiangshan and Exin, also surrendered to the Wei Dynasty.

...Zhang Shi, the governor of Weizhou, sent troops to build a city in Hulu River (now north of Guyuan, Ningxia). Hulu River was located in a dangerous place and was in the important place for the Western Yi army. Zhang Shi ordered the general manager Wang Wenzhen to command Qin Feng, Xihe, Huanqing, and Jingyuan to start building a city of about 80,000 troops. After hearing the news, Xiao hurriedly mobilized 100,000 elite troops and handed them over to Abang and Meile led him to stop the guards from building a city. The Western Yi army was stationed in Wuyan Gorge and set up an ambush.

...Zhe Keshi led the army first and was ambushed by the Western Yi army. Zuo Qiji, the Xihe Army, led 7,000 soldiers to reinforce. The Western Yi army was almost invincible and did not fight, but occupied favorable terrain to observe the movements of the Guards. A few days later, the Western Yi army suddenly launched a general attack. Each of the Western Yi army brought a shovel, and a handful of thatch rushed to the trench in front of the city, throwing the thatch into the ditch to try to rush to the front of the city. The Guards fought to the death. After repeated charges, the Western Yi army finally broke through the Guards' defense line, crossed the trench, rushed straight to the city under Pingxia, crossed the river and forced the village, rushed to kill people, and used a shovel to dig the unfinished city with a shovel.

...At this time, the general of Xihe, Yao Xiong led 7,000 elite troops into the enemy. Although Yao Xiong was straying arrows, he became more and more brave, which greatly boosted the morale of the guards. The Western barbarians gradually lost their support and led their troops to retreat. In this battle, the guards beheaded 3,000 levels and captured tens of thousands of prisoners. After this battle, the guards successfully built Pingxia City and Lingping Village.

...After the Pingxia City was repaired, the Wei Dynasty successively built dozens of fortresses along the border, including Zhenqiang, Anxi City, Tongxia, etc., gradually forming a stance against the Western Yi. The construction of these castles, especially the construction of Pingxia City, was like a sharp sword inserted into the heart of the Western Yi, which made the Western Yi not only lose a large area of ​​fertile land on both sides of the Haoshuichuan, but also faced the dilemma of invading the frontier positions and supply bases being trapped by the Wei.

...In order to seize the fortress built by the Wei Dynasty, Xiao personally led an army of 400,000 to Yanxia and quickly marched to Pingxia City. The Xiyi camp went from Xianbokou of Hulu River to the east to Jiuyangzhai, Shimenxia, ​​and the ancient wealthy families in Xiningzhai, stretching for more than a hundred miles, surrounding Pingxia City. Xiao ordered the general Ahma to be responsible for siege, and Meile was responsible for blocking foreign aids.

...After Pingxia was besieged, Zhang Qing gathered all elite troops to rescue. The Xiao family ordered the Western Yi to build a new chariot equipped with "Confrontation" siege equipment to siege the city. The tall chariot carried hundreds of people, filled the trenches and advanced, and the flying stones were inflamed, and they continued to stop day and night. The defending general Guo Cheng remained calm in the face of danger and organized the soldiers guarding the city to repel the crazy attacks of the Western Yi army, and from time to time sent troops out of the city to harass the Western Yi army at night. Pingxia City became a veritable meat-mincing machine, with blood flowing under the city and corpses piled up like mountains.

...The Western Yi Army attacked the city for thirteen days, with more than 10,000 people killed or injured, but the city was still not broken. The Western Yi Army gradually ran out of food and grass, and a strong wind in the northwest, broke all the "confrontation" chariots. The Western Yi Army was defeated, and the Xiao family "cried and fled in shame." The ethnic minorities such as Dangxiang Qiang, referring to the use of sharp objects to scratch their faces, and even blood flowing to express their strong inner grief or determination to revenge. When the Western Yi Army besieged Pingxia, they sent their son-in-law Xiao Qiang to station troops in Luosaling to intercept reinforcements on Xihe Road; and also sent the great leader Wei Mingji to station in Zhechi to defend against Qin Feng, Fuyan and other routes. During the Western Yi Army's siege, Wang Min, the Xihe Guard General, led his army to attack Xia territory and killed Xiao Qiang, guard general Liu An, and Zhang Cheng also led his army to defeat Wei Mingji, etc., which accelerated the defeat of the Xia army.

... Although the defeat of Pingxia City caused heavy losses to the Western Yi, the Western Yi did not give up. Abá was the commander-in-chief of the six routes, and secretly held a military meeting at the command center near Tiandu Mountain with the command center of the army supervisor, secretly gathered troops in Tiandu Mountain, and used animal husbandry as a cover to plan to launch a spring offensive to completely destroy Pingxia City. Unexpectedly, the location of their command center was discovered by the guards. Zhang Qi summoned the generals to discuss and decided to use a surprise attack to destroy the command center of the Western Yi. Jingyuan Road launched shallow attacks on the Western Yi territory four times, and three times entered the Western Yi territory no more than a hundred miles. The Western Yi people thought that the guards were timid and did not dare to go deeper, and believed that the capabilities of the guards' cavalry units were only at this point.

... Therefore, Zhang Shi decided to go against the rules and secretly ordered Zhe Keshi. Guo Cheng and six generals led 10,000 elite cavalry and divided into six hidden troops to Xiwojing, Tiandu Mountain at night. When the long-distance guard suddenly appeared in front of Weiming Abang and Meile, they were unbelievable and surrendered. Tiandu Mountain is a strategic location for the Western Yi, and a large number of Western Yi reinforcements arrived quickly and surrounded the guards. The two sides launched a fierce battle. Zhe Keshi was exhausted and could not fight again. Guo Cheng took the initiative
