At the time of the change in the Central Plains, the Sui army was overwhelmed in Guannei Dao, and Guo Zihe was pacified without much war, and then trapped the Liang division in Shuofang.

Shuofang belongs to the Hetao region, called Henan and Beifake during the Warring States period, originally the territory of Zhao State, and later occupied by the Xiongnu. Qin Shi Huang was eloquent and strategic, and sent the general Meng Tian to send 300,000 troops to the north to attack Hu and take Henan. However, due to the turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu reoccupied Shuofang. Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, the general of the chariot cavalry, sent troops from the clouds, and then took the Hetao back again in the south of the river.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, and many times the people moved to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Shangjun, and Beidi counties, and dug river canals, guarded Tuntian, and built the Great Wall and fortresses. Since then, around Shuofang, the grassland people and the Han people have launched exciting battles many times. Generally speaking, most of them are in line with the times, and whichever side is strong will belong to whichever side.

Until the thirteenth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Liang Shidu was based on Shuofang County against Sui, and this place has always been under the control of Liang Shidu.

At this moment, in the palace that was downgraded to a royal palace, Liang Shidu's brows were locked in one place, and Diaoyin was lost, Yan'an was lost, Yanchuan was lost, and Lingwu was lost...... It was too fast, and in less than two months, all four counties fell into the hands of the Sui army led by Li Jing.

Whether Honghua and Pingliang are alive or dead, Liang Shi doesn't know at all, because he has been trapped in Shuofang City for ten days, and now there are rumors in Shuofang City, and everyone is in danger. The whole city looks like a catastrophe is approaching and the sun is setting.

In the past ten days, the Sui army did not attack on a large scale, and threw 12 rounds of stones with catapults every day, once an hour, which made him restless, and the soldiers under his command were panicked and demoralized......

But the Great Sui's strategy of exhausting the troops is indeed ruthless enough, and this besieged but not attacked every day with artillery, attacking the heart from the inside, making them panic all day long.

If this continues, without the Sui army attacking the city, the 60,000 troops in the city will not be able to support it.

"You have to think about it!" Master Liang said to himself, but the brow like a ninety-year-old man indicated his state of mind at this time.

Be at one's wits' end!

Guarding the lonely city, he really has nothing to do in the face of the absolute strength gap! Before, he launched several night raids, and was eaten clean by the Sui army, but now, he can only hold on and wait for help.

But he knows that the so-called stubbornness and waiting for help is actually waiting for death! Because he didn't have reinforcements at all, his previous reinforcements were Turks, but after Shibi hung up, the Turks became Yang Dong's lackeys, and turned around and asked him for the life of Liang Shidu.

Now, he regrets it so much that he wants to cry out loud!

Damn, it turned out that people couldn't remember him as a little person at all, but because of the sycophant gifts, the tiger was targeted at all of a sudden, and then, the hell called, and the gift was given to such a result, which he never imagined.

But at this time, regret is useless, he is like a turtle in an urn, Yang Tong will never let him go.

He doesn't see the slightest hope, an inch of way out.

Now don't talk about the soldiers under his command, even if he wants to surrender himself, but the problem is that people don't have the slightest intention of accepting it at all, the key is that he has been a lackey of the Turks, and this alone is enough to make his Liang Shidu fall to the ground and lose his head.

However, there are no absolutes, and many things are always unexpected.

"King! The Sui army invites you to negotiate at the head of the city. Just when Liang Shidu was distressed and frustrated, he saw a guard break in and said excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go meet that Li Jing."

Liang Shidu trembled in his heart, but remembered that he was the king of Liang Liang, the king of a country, and the king of a country must have the majesty and atmosphere of the king of a country, so he called his personal guards and strode towards the Shuofang city wall.

Along the way, I thought about how to stabilize the morale of the army and persuade Li Jing to withdraw from the army, but thinking of the domineering style of the Sui army, one head and two big, I didn't know what situation I was about to face and how I would face the Sui army.

To the head of the city! Master Liang couldn't help but gasp!

More than 100,000 Great Sui and Turkic coalition troops swept in, and the rumbling horses' hooves shook the mountains. Countless swords, guns, swords and halberds flickered with cold light, swords and guns were numerous, the military spirit was forested, and the momentum was amazing, like mountains and forests, stretching for miles.

The breathtaking military might made the arrogant wind have to calm down, and stopped abruptly in front of the huge military formation, and could only hold its breath and caress the battle flags. The red battle flag rolls like a rolling wave, and the word "Sui" embroidered on the flag is particularly eye-catching.

The Liang army at the head of the city swallowed nervously, and the hands holding the knife trembled slightly, some rogues and bandits were still fearless, but such a big scene, how had they ever seen it? The recruits, in particular, were even more pale and overwhelmed in their eyes.

"Liang Shidu, look at it!"

Su Dingfang rode out, took off the bow and arrow, pulled out an iron arrow, and aimed at Liang Shidu with a bow and arrow, the guards at the head of the city were frightened and exclaimed, and they used shields to protect Liang Shidu, Su Dingfang's bow and arrow were lifted upward, an iron arrow came out of the string, nailed to the flagpole at the head of the city, the rope was broken, and the handsome flag of Liang Shidu fell from the city in an exclamation.

"There is a letter on the arrow!"

The sharp-eyed Liang Luoren said.

"Take it off!" Liang Shidu hurriedly said.

The guards took it down and handed it to Liang Shidu.

Liang Shidu opened it and looked at it, his heart was indignant, he roared, and smashed the city bricks with a fist, and his hands were suddenly dripping with blood, which frightened everyone to persuade each other.

Liang Luoren asked, "Great King! What is written in the letter? ”

Liang Shi was so hateful that his heart was dripping blood, and he gritted his teeth at everyone and said: "Today, the whole army is evacuated from Shuofang, and you can't bring a grain of grain and the whole army goes south lightly!" Stay in Pingliang and Honghua counties to give us a foothold, otherwise! Break the city tomorrow! ”

As soon as these words came out, the city fell silent.

After a while, Liang Shidu asked Liang Luoren, "What do you think?" ”

Liang Luoren sighed, stepped forward and saluted: "If the Sui army wants to take the whole territory, it is a matter of raising their hands, and now that there are still two counties left, can we have any other choice but to obey?" ”

"This ......"

Liang Shidu said with a cold face: "You go to Sui Ying and tell Li Jing that I can agree to his conditions and let him let me go south immediately." Shame today, snow tomorrow. ”

In fact, this condition also made Liang Shidu feel relieved, he thought that he would do a good job of defending Shuo Fang, but in a desperate situation, he suddenly had a way to live, who wants to die?

Before noon, Li Jing and Liang Luoren reached an agreement, Li Jing promised to let Liang Shidu go south, and Liang Shidu handed over all the money, grain, and treasures of Shuofang, including all war horses, as well as extra armor and weapons! Except for Liang Jun's family, not a single person gave much.

Su Dingfang asked, "Governor, why did you release Master Liang like this?" Wouldn't it be nice to extinguish it directly? ”

Now, Li Jing has been appointed by Yang Tong as the governor of Guannei Province.

The power of the governor in the Great Sui is very great, this position is mainly responsible for the local military, in charge of the state soldiers and horses, armor, city gods, towns, food and other military materials, but also has the power to judge government affairs, that is to say, as long as Li Jing is willing, he can also take care of civil affairs, and implement both military and political affairs.

The power of the governor was too great, and it was only established in times of war.

Yang Tong threw Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and Wang Fubao here, naturally elbowing Li Yuan and preventing him from developing too rapidly.

"This is what Your Highness meant! said that he wanted Liang Shidu to be a watchdog and avoid too much contact with Li Yuan. Li Jing smiled!

"Why don't you see Master Fang?" Suddenly, Su Dingfang said.

"Xue Ju's situation is very bad, Xuan Ling went to help him."

Speaking of this, Li Jing said to a Confucian general: "Lingwu County will be handed over to General Duan." ”

"Whoa!"

General Duan's name is Duan Decao, the son of Duan Shao, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Huan's nephew, after being suppressed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui, like Fang Xuanling's family, his influence is not more than a county! This person is both humanistic and martial, but he is not good at words and buried, and now he is paired with Xue Wanjun to sit in Lingwu.

Meng Xiaomin, who was appointed as the county warden of Wuyuan, and Liu Daju of Yulin County, are also rare talents, and they are all outstanding talents who have been promoted from the county order.

Wang Fubao performed very well in this war and was appointed by Yang Tong as the county guard of the Yanchuan Inspection School.

Pei Xingyan was the county guard of Shuofang, and defended the Liang division together with Duan Decao and Wang Fubao; As for Yan'an County, it was handed over to Su Dingfang, and Li Jing's Governor's Mansion was located in Shangjun, which had not yet arrived.

In the whole territory of Guannai, there were 150,000 garrisons, stationed in the north of Guanzhong with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, giving Li Yuan a strong deterrent, making it impossible for him to fight in all directions with peace of mind, consuming the opponent's national strength and war potential.
