Chapter 168 is on the verge (thanks to Happy Piggy for the big reward)
The common people are hiding in the mountains, and it must be very difficult for Yi Nan's cavalry to find them, and as for the village, it has now become a bait, and even takes the initiative to light a fire to let the smoke rise into the air, pretending to know nothing and still making lunch, luring them to come and rob.
When Xue Yantuo's cavalry entered the village, they found that there were pits, tripping ropes, horse rejections, barricades, everywhere, and before they could evacuate, smoke, fires, bows and arrows were shot in all directions.
In these days, the common people will set some traps, after all, you will not set traps, and the huge number of beasts and birds will be able to eat all the crops for you.
One hundred teams after another, lost in various places, frightened Yi Nan no longer dared to divide the troops, just like that, before attacking the city, he had already lost thousands of people, and when he wanted to encircle and suppress the heavy troops, these people who had captured a lot of war horses and weapons had already retreated into the nearby city in an organized way and joined the city defense army.
Yi Nan still didn't make up his mind to attack the city, but decided to decide according to the battle situation on the side of Shibi Khan in Youzhou, especially after knowing that Taiyuan side, after the defeat of Huifu, he was even more in a dilemma, he was worried that Daizhou's Yanmen Pass would be lost, so there would be no way to retreat.
Before he could make a decision, Xue Wanche had already led his troops to arrive, and Wei Chigong also stepped into Yizhou immediately afterward, which of course was quickly discovered by his scouts, after all, the Xue Yantuo tribe was also full of cavalry.
Just when Yi Nan wanted to retreat to Daizhou, his scouts found that Yanmen Pass had been occupied, and the key was that the scouts found Zou Yu's army again, so that there were already eighty or ninety thousand enemies behind him, so Yi Nan had to gather men and horses and go to Juyong Pass to open the road to Youzhou. He couldn't imagine how the Central Plains army didn't deal with the strongest Shibi Khan, but started from Taiyuan, and there were so many men.
You must know that the Hui people, together with Liu Wuzhou, are stronger than what he brought, so they actually failed, which made him, who had always been cautious, even more never thought of turning back and killing the past.

After Li Yuan won Daxing, he was not in a good mood at all, and he lost the puppet of the acting king Yang Yu, which made him very embarrassed, who asked him to raise the slogan of the army is to respect the acting king, and now the acting king Yang Yu has arrived in Jinyang, because of the Turkic affairs, which is known to the world, so that he hates to break Zou Yu's body into ten thousand pieces. As a last resort, Li Yuan could only play the slogan of Qingjun's side, and wanted to recruit people and horses for Yang Guangqingjun's side, as for who to kill, he did not explain.
And now Tongguan is still in Zou Yu's hands, looking at Guanzhong, which makes him unable to eat, and he has the heart to raise troops to attack, but now Zou Yu is resisting the Turks, not to mention whether he can fight down, even if he sends troops, I am afraid that the people of the world will also criticize him.
If these things just make him uncomfortable and not in a beautiful mood, then there is one thing that makes him even more embarrassed.
Originally, in order to let Wagang Li Mi contain the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, Li Yuan had a very low attitude towards Li Mi, and wrote a letter calling Li Mi the leader of the anti-Sui alliance, but now Zou Yu occupies Yongfeng Cang, and there is only one Taicang in Daxing.
Taicang is the food for Daxing, Yang Guang took away a lot, the tax revenue has been small in recent years, so Taicang grain is not as much as imagined, Li Yuan has to support more than 200,000 troops, and there are so many people in Daxing City, but he can't hold out for two years, so he has to pay attention to the Changping position between Daxing and Luoyang.
Because Li Yuan won Daxing and had a large number of troops, Wang Shichong and Li Mi, who were originally very hot, stopped their hands in unison. If Li Yuan moves to close the position at this time, it will definitely touch their sensitive nerves, especially Wang Shichong, because Luocangkou has been occupied by Li Mi, and Chang Ping is absolutely unwilling to let it out.
Because Qin Qiong and the others fell under Zou Yu's tent, Wagang, which was supposed to defeat Wang Shichong and retreat, actually got a bad one, and did not take advantage of Luoyang, and Li Yuan won most of the pass and occupied Daxing, so you can imagine how dissatisfied Li Mi was with him.
And because it was close to winter, all three sides shrank their forces and watched Zou Yu resist the Turks, of course they wanted them to help, which was even more impossible, and only Dou Jiande of Hebei Province did not send troops to help, but did not prevent the people under his rule from joining the beggar army.
Because Youzhou was the first to receive the news, the people evacuated the most, Zhang Zhongjian, Xue Wanjun, Hei Sumei, sitting in Yuyang, when Shibi Khan led the troops into Youzhou, facing one empty city after another.
Because of the killing order, a large number of people in Youzhou, Yingzhou, and Pingzhou either joined the official or formed their own people, which were collectively called the beggar army.
After Luo Yi and Fang Yanqian discussed, he asked Xue Wanjiang to bring 5,000 old soldiers to integrate and train, so as not to let some beggar soldiers rush to the Turks desperately.
By the time Zou Yu entered Yizhou, there were nearly 60,000 more beggars in Youzhou, training intensively, ready to meet the Turkic army at any time.
At about a time, Su Dingfang brought another 8,000 Liaodong soldiers to support Yuyang, and more importantly, brought a large number of weapons made in Liaodong. Well armed beggars.

……
The people of Murowei thought that the eldest brother was attacking Youzhou, and the Liaodong side must be powerless to resist, or that the troops were insufficient, so they just came to pick up the bargain, and they had long heard that the former neighbors had become rich now, and their eyes were red.
Liaodong's preparations were also very early, because Goguryeo had just been hit hard, and there was no need to worry about them coming back in a short time, so Han Qianxun turned his heart and recruited 20,000 Khitan Qingzhuang, 5,000 Xi tribes, and sent a message to the Yan tribe to let them send 5,000 troops.
In the past few months, because of the cavalry of the Yan tribe, their fixed monthly salary was sent to their clan, salt, clothing, and food, as stated in advance, one by one, and even Fang Xuanling specially handed over to the patriarch of the three clans, and another as a reward.
Of course, this reward is very rich, so rich that Luosang Chi, Da Zuorong and others are beating faster, so this time when Han Qianxun asked them to send another 5,000 cavalry to assist in defending Room Wei, they agreed without hesitation, and they earned to raise 5,000, and Wan Yanlie personally took it to Fuyu City.
Coupled with Liaodong's own men and horses, Han Qianxun took 40,000 cavalry and took the initiative to meet the people of Murowei.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, Mo Hefu personally led 70,000 cavalry, rushed to Liaodong, in his opinion, since it was a robbery, of course, the more people, the better, when the Khitans fought in large numbers in the Central Plains, he did not think that there were still people who could pose a threat to them, so the tribe was dispatched, not only 70,000 controllers, but also 20,000 women, driving the sheep as logistics.
