Shame, shame......

It felt like an ocean wave, washing over Yusuf's heart one after another, and each time it washed, it was as if a thousand and ten thousand ants were gnawing at his flesh at the same time.

However, this is not the most painful, the most painful thing is that he cannot and is not capable of fighting back against this constant humiliation.

Because there was still a powerful Tang army standing behind that timid Abu, the earth-shattering battle outside Jiuquan City completely destroyed Yusufu's confidence and calmness in the face of the Tang people, and the battlefield like a landslide became the same scene in his countless nightmares, waking up every midnight, the pain was like a poisonous snake spitting scarlet letters, making him cowardly and incompetent.

Fortunately, Issa was a loyal general, and planned for him to escape after the retreat in Anxi.

But now, the only way out is also targeted by that timid Abu.

There is a mountain called Geluo Ridge in the place that must pass through the pass of the Green Ridge, there is a walled city next to the mountain range named Drink Pantuo, the Tang Dynasty set up a garrison force there, after the Great Food Army seized the Green Ridge, sent troops to level the Tang soldiers there, and stationed the Persians.

After Abu's men withdrew from the outside of Shule, they captured it as soon as possible, and the Persians in the walled city of Dipanta opened the gates of the city with little decent resistance to welcome Abu's Persian camp into the city.

After all, they were all Persians, and the guards in the city had also heard the news of Yusuf's defeat, so after judging the situation, they naturally took refuge in Abu, who was also a Persian.

Yusuf was at a loss, he was now a frightened bird, and his legs trembled involuntarily at the thought of the earth-shattering explosions and the smoke that filled the battlefield.

Issa also had no idea, he was only a captain after all, and at such a critical moment, he didn't know how to choose.

"The road to the Green Ridge has been blocked, and now there is only one road left, go north to Broken Leaves, go west along the Pearl River, and run to Kulan City, you can also avoid the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Soon, Yusuf had an idea, and his decision was very fast, and Abu dared to go around his rear in a big way, so he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, how dare a timid person like Xiang Abu put his own way in the hands of the enemy.

This must be a trick of the Tang people to lure the enemy, and Yusuf concluded that as long as he sent troops to attack Drinkpantuo, countless Tang soldiers hidden in the east would appear overwhelmingly. At that time, there will be no way in, no way out, and only a dead end will remain.

Since you don't dare to attack rashly, move as soon as possible, and leave the land of right and wrong in Shule before the Tang people lose patience. As for the previous plan to transfer goods and young people, it can only be hastily abandoned.

At night, Yusuf left Shule under the protection of a large number of guards, without any nostalgia, and the cavalry was all one man and three horses, running north in turn.

The road from Shule to Shaye was not easy, and in addition to crossing mountains, it was necessary to cross several rivers.

The town of Broken Leaf was also part of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, but after the defeat of Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty lost control of the entire area east of Atami.

Atami is a large lake around which many steppe tribes camp with herds of horses and sheep in summer and autumn.

Therefore, after the power of Atami in the Tang Dynasty temporarily retreated, it became the focus of tribal contention, water sources and grasslands were the focus of contention among the barbarian tribes, and in just a few years, several towns around Atami, such as Yezhi Castle and He Hunting City, have rapidly decayed and been abandoned.

The army of the Tang Dynasty managed to maintain the frozen city on the east bank of Atami, and after the Great Food Army entered Anxi, it did not attack the area near Broken Leaf Town, after all, there were only a small number of Tang soldiers there, and it was not the core area of Anxi, so there was no need to divide troops at a distance.

At this time, Yusuf was ready for a battle, and he believed that the Tang soldiers in the frozen city should be difficult to fight against him.

After a day and night of non-stop running, they finally arrived at Atami half a day earlier than planned, but by this time the frozen castle was in ruins, and the walls were full of charred ruins, and it was obvious that there had been a fire in this place.

Yusuf swallowed his saliva, now he was hungry and thirsty, and there was a look of disappointment on his face that could not be concealed, he had planned to plunder some Tang people's supplies in Frozen City, and then rush to Kulan City through Broken Leaves after replenishing the urgently needed supplies.

Now, it seems, that idea has fallen through again.

The Tang Dynasty made great efforts in Anxi, and every walled city, no matter how small the scale, was prepared with sufficient supplies, including food, weapons, and arrows, which were urgently needed by Yousufu at this time.

Unfortunately, several walled castles along the coast of Atami were in ruins, and Yusuf continued to flee west in disarray.

He knew that his whereabouts would soon reach the Tang people, and that Tang Dynasty prime minister was obviously not a good person, and he would definitely chase after him. Therefore, the farther away from the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, the safer it became.

The sunset was slanting in the west, the wind on the grassland brought a chill, and Yusuf shivered on horseback, autumn is coming!

Shule City, Abu cursed angrily and the Tang slave in front of him, he did easily attack Shule City, but the cutting off of the Great Food Head was not even ten. It's better to drink Pantuo to guard the walled city, and at least a few hundred will come in.

In the face of the stormy scolding, the slave did not show a panicked look because of this, but calmly explained:

"At the beginning, I promised to help the general conquer Shule, but may I ask the general, have you promised to cut off how many food heads, or capture Yusuf alive?"

"This ......"

Abu was speechless for a moment, and he asked himself if he was not a very unreasonable person, and that the efforts he had made were good, and that he had indeed not made those conditions with him.

At the thought of this, Abu's eyes rolled and he said:

"If you are willing to help me defeat Yusufu, capture and kill you alive, then I will introduce you to the Tang Dynasty as a big official, how about it?"

Unexpectedly, the slave laughed several times and rejected Abu's proposal.

"My promise has been fulfilled, and I hope the general will not break his promise!"

Abu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, it seemed that this slave was indeed a capable man, and he was really unwilling to let him go so easily.

At the same time, he also saw that this person may be a criminal in the Tang Dynasty, and when he contacted this person, he claimed to have been a general in the Tang Dynasty, so he must have participated in the rebellion.

The idea struck Abu with a brilliant way to keep him by his side.
