Chapter 171 Attacking Liu Wuzhou
Shibi Khan's army attacked Youzhou, and in the face of the empty Youzhou, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't know why the Central Plains reacted so quickly this time, and actually evacuated all the people in advance.
However, this also shows that there are no heavy troops in Youzhou, so Shibi Khan is very relieved to advance quickly, which is also in line with their characteristics, coming and going like the wind.
It wasn't until Yuyang that he stopped, holding the army in hand, Shibi Khan immediately waved his army and attacked, but unfortunately he met his opponent, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanbei, Zhang Zhongjian, all of whom are masters, after the Xue brothers generalized the door, Zhang Zhongjian has been in Liaodong for many years, and he has a lot of experience in attacking and defending the city, not to mention that there is also an offensive and defensive preparation, and Su Dingfang, who is better at leading the troops.
For two days in a row, thousands of men and horses were lost under Yuyang City, and Shibi Khan calmed down, and he also knew that the cities in the Central Plains were difficult to fight, so he asked his third brother Ashina and Dubi (Jieli Khan) to lead 50,000 troops to defend Yuyang, and at the same time build siege equipment to protect food; He also let his generals lose their thinking power, the leader of the Tiele Department, Qi Bi He Li, and his sons Ashina and Shi Bobi led 10,000 cavalry respectively to raid Youzhou; He himself led the others and an army of 220,000 to Youzhou City, and he thought that since Yuyang had a heavy army, Youzhou must be unprepared.
All the way unimpeded, came to Youzhou City, in Youzhou, and hit the head and blood, although Luo Yi's men only had 8,000 old soldiers, but recruited 10,000 young men in advance, plus the original people of Youzhou City helped, it was still very easy to defend a strong city for a short time.
Of course, Shibi Khan was not stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry, and when he saw that the surprise attack was unsuccessful, he left hundreds of corpses behind, so he retreated.
He understood now that Youzhou had already taken precautions, and it was impossible to take it down without siege equipment, so he asked people to inquire about the surrounding news on the one hand, and asked people to make siege equipment on the other hand.

Because Liu Wuzhou was defeated, the generals who went to attack Taiyuan were either killed or captured, and for a while, there was no qualified general in Yanmen Pass.
Li Jing did not immediately go north, but immediately repeated the old tricks, pretending to transport grain with Liu Wuzhou's soldiers, and Qin Qiong divided his troops to attack, and even went down to the east and west of the old Yingkou, Qishenchikou, Yangfangkou, Donglongkou, Xiyankou, Beiloukou, Dashikou, Shikou, Malankou, Ruyuekou, Huyukou and other eighteen passes, completely mastered Yanmen Pass in his hands, and then divided his troops, and then went north to the grassland with Luo Cheng.
After Qin Qiong took Yanmen Pass, he moved forward, and now in the hands of Liu Wuzhou, there are only the three counties of Shanwu, Pingcheng and Mayi, and the three counties are each other's horns, and from the mouth of the captive, he learned that the defender of Shanwu is Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang, and the general Gao Manzheng guards Pingcheng.
Looking at a general next to him, Liu Wuzhou's mouth was full of bitterness, because Zou Yu attacked Taiyuan in time, Liu Wuzhou never thought about being the emperor at all, and it was too late to be the emperor, and now he is calling himself Taishou.
"General Xun, now that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have occupied Yanmen Pass and are coming to Mayi, what should we do?" Liu Wuzhou asked in a panic.
Looking for a picture is quite strategic, but he still feels very helpless about the current form, and thinks about it and suggests: "Taishou should let General Shanwuyuan Junzhang and General Heisei Gao Manzheng lead the troops back as soon as possible." ”
"In this way, Shannone, Heisei is not giving up? And Mayi has also become an isolated city. Liu Wuzhou frowned.
"The most important thing at the moment is to defeat the imperial court's soldiers and horses, if you can't defeat them, everything is empty talk, after defeating, not to mention Shanwu, Heicheng, it is not impossible to take Taiyuan again." Xun Xiang persuaded him.
"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are menacing, can we fight them?" After all, he was born as a petty official, and in the face of the army, the pressure in his heart became greater, he had nothing before, so he was naturally not afraid, but now that he is used to being the emperor of the soil, Liu Wuzhou will inevitably look forward and backward, and he doesn't know what to do.
"I heard that General Zhengxi issued an order to kill the Turks, although he said that the bandits, bandits, etc. who are willing to kill the Turks are not to blame in the past, but you are too guarded to welcome the Turks...... Xun Xiang frowned and said.
Although he didn't finish looking for the picture, Liu Wuzhou still understood what he meant, and Zou Changfeng would not let him go.
"It's... This... Mayi small city, how can you defend it, it is better to flee to Shuozhou and take refuge in Liangshidu. Liu Wuzhou's face changed.
Xunxiang looked at Liu Wuzhou's bear-like appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he didn't think that the original high-spirited person could become like this for a while, but now is not the time to think about other things, after all, no one knows whether the people from the Eastern General's Mansion will let him go.
"Now abandon the city and flee, you will definitely not be able to take many people away, even if you go to Liangshidu, you will definitely not be taken seriously, why not fight first, if you win, it is the best, even if you lose, you can go to the territory of the Turks." Lookout suggested.
"Yes, let's fight first, even if you can't beat it, you can't cheapen others." Liu Wuzhou said viciously.
Looking at Liu Wuzhou's appearance that he couldn't afford to lose, Xun Xiang couldn't help frowning, thinking of his own skills, but he couldn't be reused, and Liu Wuzhou used all his brother-in-law, and his friend Wei Chi Jingde was also reused because of Song Jin just now. For Liu Wuzhou, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in my heart.
"But where do you go from here?" Xun Xiang thought sadly in his heart, he didn't like the Turks, and suggested that Liu Wuzhou go, it was just a subordinate instinct, and he didn't like it, and Liang Shidu didn't seem much better in his opinion.
"Taishou can ask the Turks to send troops to help again, after all, they have lost Yanmen Pass, and they have one less gateway to invade the Central Plains." Lookout suggested again.
"The Turks have just been defeated, and Shibi Khan led his troops to attack Youzhou, where did the men come from to support us." Liu Wuzhou shook his head and said.
"It's only the Hui people who have failed, there are many grassland tribes, there should be no problem with a little manpower, even if they don't send troops, they can also order Liang Shidu to come to help." Lookout explained.
"That's right! Right! You can ask Shuozhou Liang to send troops to help, we just need to hold on. Liu Wuzhou nodded again and again and said happily.
"Taishou, if you ask people to invite, Master Liang will definitely not send troops, only let the Turks come forward." Xiang Xiang reminded.
"Hmmm! Do as you say! Liu Wuzhou, who was in a mess, stabilized his mind and nodded in agreement.
Xunxiang this person, many people have certainly not heard of this person, this person's force is comparable to Wei Chi Jingde, in the original history of the Tang Army commanders Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian and Liu Shirang were captured by Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang.
Liu Wuzhou listened to Xunxiang's suggestion, and quickly ordered his brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang, Gao Manzheng, to give up Shanwu, and Heisei to lead the troops back to help, and on the other hand, he asked people to go to the grassland and ask the Turkic godfather to help; While reorganizing the army and fighting, waiting for Qin Qiong.
