Wuchuan City, Xiao Shangren looked at the mansion in front of him, his face flashed with a trace of grief, the Xiao family has been living in Wuchuan City since they returned to Li Jing, as Li Jing's minions, monitoring everything on the grassland, and now Wuchuan City is also going to give up, although the city wall of Wuchuan is strong, it is definitely not the opponent of the Jin people, only by giving up Wuchuan City, can Wanyan Zongbi be dragged longer, not only to drag down the other party's grain and grass, but more importantly, to let Wanyan Zongbi give up the encirclement of Boyan.

This decision was made after he and Chen Ren discussed with each other, if Wuchuan City was to hold on, Wanyan Zongbi might turn around to attack Yunzhou in the case of an unfavorable attack, and the losses would be unacceptable to the two.

"Eldest son, you can go." The general next to Master Xiao walked over and said in a low voice. These generals are all composed of slaves of the Xiao family, loyal, after Brother Xiao Wei died in battle, Xiao Shangren became the head of the Xiao family, no matter what the title of the Xiao family ends up, the key is that the Xiao family has a big business, and Xiao Shangren can still be in charge of the Xiao family.

"Let's go!" Xiao Shangren turned over and left without looking back, he was the last group to leave, and the people in the city who were willing to follow Xiao Shangren westward went west, and those who did not want to follow Chen Ren south to Yunzhou. Fortunately, there are mostly Khitans in Wuchuan City, and nomadic people have become accustomed to migration. Most of the people who entered Yunzhou were some merchants or old and weak, and the walls of Yunzhou were tall, and it was very difficult for the Jin people to break through Yunzhou.

In just half an hour, the entire Wuchuan City became an empty city, the huge Wuchuan City was empty without a little breath, Xiao Shangren led 10,000 cavalry to leave Wuchuan City, retreating to the west, he had already asked the secret guard to inform the high favor who was killed in the western grassland, and led the army to respond.

An hour later, it was getting late, Wanyan Zongbi led the army to Wuchuan City, watching the gate of Wuchuan City open, a few flags, as if there was no soldier, Wanyan Zongbi instead stopped the army, and he and Wanyan Hulazy led their own soldiers to Wuchuan City.

"Did you run away?" Wan Yan Yu said lazily.

"Do you think this is the case with the Tang Army? They are not Khitans, it is not their style to flee without a fight, the solidity of Wuchuan City is not bad, Brother Xiao Wei has been sitting here for several years, Li Jing was here to command the army to control the grassland, the city is strong, Xiao Shangren only has 10,000 horses in his hands, he can resist us for a long time. Wanyan Zongbi shook his head, since Brother Xiao Wei fought, let him know that the Khitan people who joined the Tang Dynasty army were completely different from the original Khitans, not only fought bravely and well, but more importantly, these people faced strong enemies, even if there were countless strong enemies in front of them, they were not afraid of life and death, they moved forward bravely, charged into battle, and were not afraid, Xiao Shangren fled without a fight, which made Wanyan Zongbi a little unconvinced.

"What are you afraid of, as long as you can enter the city, are you afraid that these Tang troops will not succeed?" Wan Yan Yu didn't put Xiao Shangren in his eyes at all, and said with a smile: "I even killed his old son, and his younger brother also died in my hands, and he was also killed left and right, and the family was reunited." ”

Wanyan Zongbi took the clairvoyant mirror, looked at it through the sunset, only to see the cold light flickering in the city, and suddenly his face changed, and he said to Wanyan Hulazy beside him: "Master Xiao has an ambush in the city, but unfortunately, in the end, he is young, not as sophisticated as Brother Xiao Wei, it is a small ambush, and it is also a flawed time. Go, go back, and attack again tomorrow. ”

"It's not an empty city plan, but the Han people have an empty city plan." Wan Yan Yu couldn't help but say.

Wanyan Zongbi hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Our soldiers and horses are insufficient, if we rush into it, the two sides fight, we are afraid that we will suffer heavy losses, how to pacify the grassland in the future, not to mention, our purpose is not Wuchuan, but Boyan, as long as the connection between Boyan and Wuchuan is blocked, Boyan's soldiers and horses on the grassland are a lone army, and in the end they will either be annihilated by us, or surrender to us, and we will wait until Your Majesty's side solves Boyan, the army will move westward, and the small Wuchuan can go down every day." ”

Wanyan Zongbi did not forcibly attack Wuchuan, in the final analysis, because of his lack of soldiers and horses, he had already suffered heavy losses, and then forcibly attacked Wuchuan, the loss was even more, which was not conducive to the next plan, so he did not dare to attack Wuchuan, for fear that there would be an ambush at the city gate, once it fell into a street battle, it would be an unfavorable situation for the tens of thousands of troops of the Jin people.

"Set up camp." Wanyan Yu glanced lazily at Wuchuan in the distance, and lazily raised the horsewhip in his hand, since Wanyan Zongbi had already made a decision, he asked people to set up a large camp and wait for tomorrow to attack again.

Wanyan Zongbi also turned the horse's head, he glanced at Wuchuan City behind him, frowned slightly, and always felt that the breath in the city was very weird, and there was not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking, which was obviously a strange thing, he hesitated for a while, but still shook his head and turned away.

At night, Wanyan Yu sat lazily outside the camp, let his men prepare a roasted whole sheep, drank the spirits, his face turned red, he looked at the city wall in front of him, it was pitch black, only a huge city gate was open, like a giant beast, devouring the comer at any time.

"Are you cowardly, there are people in the city at this time? I think it's an empty city. Wan Yan Yu glanced at the big tent behind him lazily, although he thought that Wan Yan Zongbi had changed a lot more than before, but in Wan Yan Hu's lazy eyes, it was not only a little more strategic, but his courage was much smaller, and he did not have the momentum before. If it were him, I am afraid that he would have rushed into the city by this time.

"The general is naturally brave." The pro-soldiers and generals around him spoke one after another. It's just that there is still a trace of worry on everyone's faces, the Tang Army is not easy to deal with, such an empty city, everyone does not dare to attack.

"General, it's better to let the last general rush in and take a look, it's dark this day, and the city gate is still open, I'm afraid it's really empty." Wan Yanjia couldn't help but say, "Don't they eat?" I heard that the Tang army had three meals a day, and there was not even a little cooking smoke in the city. ”

After hearing this, Yan Yu stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Let's go, go and see, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that there are really ambushes in this city." "Wanyan Hulazy believes that at this time, whether it is himself or Wanyan Zongbi, I am afraid that he has been fooled. At that time, when the army arrived, it was already evening, and at that time, once there was an ambush, his subordinates would definitely suffer heavy losses, so although Wanyan was lazy in his heart, he still obeyed Wanyan Zongbi's arrangement, and now it was different, he believed that he was absolutely right.

The cavalry quickly gathered together, Wanyan was still full of armor, although he had a calculation in his heart, he still wore his whole body, and led the guards around him to rush towards Wuchuan City.
