Coupled with the previous overly aggressive policy, a large number of soldiers were stretched into a long strip of territory extending from the Western Regions to the East China Sea, which was very unfavorable for defense. As a last resort, he gritted his teeth and gave up the land of the counties he had previously attacked, and retreated to the area west of Dingxiang County to retreat to the defense.

Such a move is tantamount to telling all the forces in the area east of Dingxiang County that he, Li Wenyuan, will temporarily withdraw from the struggle for dominance in the area of Dingxiang County. But at the beginning, some experienced leaders of the forces did not eagerly expose themselves, for fear that this was Li Wenyuan's bait by retreating, just to induce himself to stand up and settle the account together.

But then some people who couldn't hold their breath took the lead in pulling up the banner again on their own territory, recruiting troops, and then conquering more than a dozen villages and towns one after another, but they did not attract any retaliation and treatment from Li Wenyuan, as if Li Wenyuan's side did not care about this matter at all.

So these people knew that Li Wenyuan had really completely retreated to the west of Dingxiang County. So they raised the banner again one after another, and fought with each other every day for the sake of territory and interests. Although these forces are still entangled with each other, they have not broken out into a large-scale war again.

Because when Li Wenyuan's army withdrew, in addition to looting almost all the gold and silver treasures, grain, cattle and sheep, he even took away a large number of people who were willing to evacuate westward together. As a result, although these forces took over the territory given up by Li Wenyuan, they were ten rooms and nine empty, and they could not recruit troops in a short period of time.

However, in order to ensure the supply of food and grass at the front, as well as control of the area they occupied. They had to move a large number of civilians from their other territories and forced them to settle in the newly conquered areas to engage in production and assist the army in logistical transportation and maintenance.

Of course, the generals under Li Wenyuan did not reach a consensus of opinion on this withdrawal. After all, in their opinion, the territory that they had fought with their troops for several months before they had won it was handed over to others again for no reason, which made it very difficult for these generals to accept it in their hearts.

However, the situation that Li Wenyuan is facing now is very urgent, and whether they accept it or not cannot change Li Wenyuan's determination. Therefore, they were directly given a mandatory order, and they were immediately ordered to lead the army to pack up the corresponding items and evacuate to the west. If someone does not listen, then it is a crime of treason and defection to the enemy.

These generals rarely saw Li Wenyuan's orders in such a stern tone, so although there were thousands of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they all chose to obey Li Wenyuan's orders under Li Wenyuan's authority, and led the troops under their command, as well as the common people who were willing to go west with the army, plus a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the official treasury of various prefectures and counties, all of which were transported back to the Western Regions.

Although he said that he was still fighting with Tuoba Shishu on the territory of the Eastern Turks, today you occupy a pasture for me, and tomorrow I will capture several of your tribes. Anyway, the two sides have always been like this, no one can help each other, and no one is willing to obey each other.

But although they are so entangled, they always lack the ability to finally make a final decision. Besides, neither of these two people is stupid, and they both know that there is no deep hatred for each other. The only point of conflict was that both men believed that their ideas were the most suitable for Turkic society, so they started to fight.

But although the sword soldiers were mobilized, no one really used the strength to annihilate the opponent's army, and at most it was just scattered. Although the Turks fought fiercely, they were extremely capable of fighting individually. But due to nomadic habits, coupled with the bitter cold of the north since ancient times, the population of the Turks has always been the smallest, so wasting precious people in the midst of infighting is a most foolish act.

It is precisely because of this that neither side has played a dead hand on the other. Only then did he still have the ability to influence the power between the neighboring Turkic counties in the Central Plains, and only then did Tuoba Shishu have enough strength to deter the ambitions of the Goguryeo people.

Besides, at this time, he didn't know why Li Wenyuan suddenly gave up such a vast land? It wasn't until later that he sent someone to Li Wenyuan's territory to inquire about the news, and then he knew that Li Wenyuan was now facing the pressure of Li Yuan and Xue Ju's allied army. His troops were insufficient, so he was forced to abandon these territories, and instead reduced his position to the west of Dingxiang County, concentrating all his forces on the front line.

For Tong Lifushi, Li Wenyuan can't take action to deal with himself, so there is nothing anyone can cure himself. So even when he dispatched troops, he defeated a few forces that reached out and touched Dingxiang County and fled, and they were defeated. He then firmly controlled the actual control of Dingxiang County, and sent an envoy Zhongyu to Dou Jiande to persuade Yang Zhengdao to come to Dingxiang County to re-establish the Great Sui.

Under the persuasion of Zhongyu, Yang Zhengdao also gladly accepted the proposal of Tong Lifushe, so he went to Dingxiang County with Zhongyu in the starry night. When Yang Zhengdao arrived in Dingxiang County, Chu Luo Khan was busy waiting in Dingxiang County to greet Yang Zhengdao in person.

Chu Luo Khan, who knew the Han people very well, naturally knew that what these Han people valued most was the red tape that their steppe people felt was the most useless. Those Han scholars can often give up their lives for the so-called dignity, so in order to better reach a cooperative relationship with Yang Zhengdao, Chu Luo Khan still decided to go to Dingxiang County in person to show his attention and respect for Yang Zhengdao.

Sure enough, Yang Zhengdao was very useful to Chu Luo Khan to greet him personally, but although he was very useful, he should still be polite. So Yang Zhengdao turned over from his horse and dismounted, hugged his fist at the Chu Luo Khan in front of him, and then said:

"Izura Khan, I'm a little flattered that you're here to greet me in person. In the early years, I heard about the heroic deeds that can call you, and when I saw it today, sure enough, I really had a heroic face. ”
