Taking advantage of the fact that the Yan army did not encircle, Ma Chao led the Qianghu people and horses to abandon Zhangye, which was attacked on both sides, and quickly retreated to Duye Ze in the northwest.

Although there are also some Qianghu lords who are unwilling to take advantage of Zhangye's cities, pointing out that they can defeat Zhang Liao and others' soldiers and horses like defeating the third captain, Ma Chao knows that the Yan army has failed twice in Hexi, and there will not be only one Zhang Liao who will lead the troops to quell the rebellion, but it will definitely be a big man who can control the civil and military forces in Hexi and mobilize all resources.

Therefore, he did not rashly attack Zhang Liao's forwards, but only after retreating to Dunoze did he begin to send troops to attack tentatively, trying to lure the soldiers and horses of the Yan army to pursue deeply.

However, the provocative and lured Hu cavalry soon found that this time the Yan army's soldiers and horses were in a deep ditch and fortified, and they were not in a hurry to fight the rebels, but instead gathered soldiers and civilians, and increased the camp beacon in the direction of the recovered Xuanwei and other cities and Longshou Mountain, intending to compress Ma Chao's rebels to the direction of the corner of Dunoze.

In this way, seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Yan army did not take advantage of the situation to send troops to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, but spent a lot of manpower and material resources to constantly build pavilions and barriers, Ma Chao became anxious in his heart first.

On the surface, this kind of deep ditch fortification to avoid a decisive battle is undoubtedly the Yan army's soldiers and horses are consuming a lot of military baggage, but Ma Chao knows that if he can't continue to win victories to inspire people, these gathered Qianghu tribes will soon have different intentions, and his position as leader will also be in jeopardy in the internal attack.

The problems encountered by the kingdom and Han Sui many years ago undoubtedly appeared in front of Ma Chao at this time.

Ma Chao, who was eager to break the game, then led Hu Qi to attack many times, trying to uproot those thorny beacons and pavilion barriers, but each time he lost under the threat of the Yan army's elite infantry cavalry, but the number of pavilion barriers and beacons increased.

At the same time that Ma Chao was anxious about this, Yan Xing, who was secretly stationed in Guzang City, also formulated a counterinsurgency strategy of defending the east and attacking the west after summarizing the actual situation on the front line.

In the east, Zhang Liao, Wuloujian and other soldiers blocked and pinned, and the Qianghu people led by Ma Chao were confined to a corner of Dunoze, and in the west, Yang Feng and Pang De led troops to attack to quell the remaining rebel Qianghu, and continued to attack Xiding Zero, which entered the subject country of Juyan.

It took some time for the net to close completely, and Yan Xing, who was working step by step, also showed enough patience and turned his gaze to the direction of Longyou.

···

Although Liangzhou Longyou and Hexi belong to Yongliang, and the above table of the division of counties and counties has not been allowed by the Xudu court, but in fact it has been implemented under the rule of Yan Xing, and the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Jia Xu is under the jurisdiction of Hanyang, Nan'an, Wudu, Anding, Beidi, Jincheng, and Longxi.

Of course, the two counties of Jincheng and Longxi were controlled by Li Biao, and in Li Biao's jurisdiction, there were Yang Kui and other old Han Sui departments, the Lu family close to Chang'an, the independent Song Jian of Caohan, the Heguan group of bandits, Chengyi and other forces, in view of the strength of Li Biao and others and the complex situation of the Qiang tribe, the real power of the semi-independent two counties has not been recovered for a long time.

Jia Xu sat in Hanyang, in addition to preventing Han Sui who fled into Qiangzhong and the rice thieves who seized Hanzhong, there was also an important reason, that is, to prevent the power of Yan Xing, the righteous brother, from secretly infiltrating Hanyang, Nan'an, Wudu and other places.

And just like Yan Xing guarded against his unwilling brother-in-law, Li Biao also guarded against his ambitious brother-in-law from invading his territory.

In many cases, many soldiers and horses from both sides were stationed around Nan'an County in the buffer zone.

It is precisely because of such a special situation that after Longyou was attacked by Han Sui and Zhang Lu, Li Biao and Jia Xu's reaction was also intriguing, Li Biao did not ask Jia Xu for help at all, and even increased the garrison in the direction of Hanyang.

On the contrary, he always guarded against Jia Xu in the name of galloping to help and send troops to Longxi and Jincheng, you must know that once Jia Xu's soldiers and horses come in, it will be difficult for them to withdraw again.

And Jia Xu also confirmed that Li Biao and Han Sui had a fierce battle in Jincheng before sending troops into Wudu to assist Wudu Taishou Su Ze.

The two sides fought on their own, tacitly.

It's just that a month or two has passed, but the situation in Wudu and Longxi has become very different.

Although there were bandits like Liu Xiong to assist Zhang Lujun in attacking Wudu, Yang Wan and other Di people and chieftains did not move, restrained the clansmen, and did not rashly take over Zhang Lujun's invitation to participate in the rebellion.

Even after Biqiu Xing led his troops into Wudu and Su Ze sent envoys with gold and silk gifts to ask for a meeting, these Hao chieftains also sent troops to join Su Ze and Biqiu Xing's army to help them resist the invasion of Zhang Lu's army.

Nowadays, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Lujun, who took advantage of the fire and robbery, gained little from invading Wudu, and his morale began to weaken.

And Li Piao's situation is getting worse and worse.

First of all, the two armies in Jincheng confronted each other, and the previous Han Sui's old department Yang Kui counterattacked, causing Li Yue's soldiers to be defeated and killed, and then Song Jian, Heguan group of bandits, Cheng Yi, and the Lu family saw that the situation was not good, and one by one they ignored Li Biao's military orders, and successively led the troops back to their own cities to hold on, allowing Li Biao to fight alone and confront Han Sui's Qiang soldiers and horses.

In desperation, Li Biao could only gather his forces in Didao City, preparing to use the fortified city to repel Han Sui's Qiang soldiers and horses.

At the same time, he also sent a messenger to Ji County, asking Jia Xu to send troops to help.

Within a few days of sending the envoy, Han Sui rushed to the city of Didao with a large number of soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe.

The two sides then began a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

With a strong city defense, Li Biao finally restrained the fierce offensive of his former woman, and let the Qiang people, who were not good at attacking fortifications, lose a large number of men and horses under the city of Didao.

But Li Biao was not happy at all, after this battle, his vitality was greatly damaged, whether Jia Xu's reinforcements would come, how to deal with it when they came, and how to deal with Song Jian and Cheng Yi who were guarding themselves in the city and watching from the sidelines.

This series of questions has been plaguing Li Piao's heart all the time.

···

Dido City.

Li Piao, who had just finished inspecting the city defenses and was standing at the head of the city, looked worriedly at the expanding Qiang camp outside the city.

Condescendingly, he saw the dome tent with the banner of the word "Han" erected, and he knew that his former wife was probably in it at this moment, dragging the half-cut body into the earth, racking his brains to think about how to lead the army into the city.

Li Biao has heard that his former wife Weng has changed greatly now, and she no longer has the grace of being pampered in the past, and has directly become a haggard old man with white hair and withered hands and feet.

He knew that there was no credit for it.

After all, when he returned from defeat, he stabbed him fiercely, took away his inheritance, killed all his family and clansmen, and even his daughter and his wife chose to go on a hunger strike because they were imprisoned by themselves, and died with a vicious curse.

It can be said that this pair of Weng sons-in-law are now two mortal enemies with a deep blood feud. Li Biao sometimes even secretly wondered if Han Sui had come with the determination to pull his back even if he was defeated and died.

Whether it is or not, he is at least halfway there.

Li Xiao thought hatefully.

He even thought of Yan Xing and Zhao Hong, and thought of the scenes of acquaintance and intersection in the Liangzhou coalition army.

It's a pity that there is no chance of a restart.

He sighed, "After a day of attacking, the old thief should not attack tonight." ”

As he spoke, Li Biao had already turned and walked down the city, he was going to return to the mansion and recuperate enough to deal with the next big and difficult challenges.

···

Heaven didn't seem to give Li Biao another chance.

In the middle of the night when he fell asleep, the defenders of the city who were rebelled by Han Sui used torches as a signal to open the gate of Di Dao, and successfully put the Han Sui army that could not be attacked into the city.

So, Li Piao, who still had ambition and pride in his dream, was unexpectedly woken up by his own soldiers, and he soon heard the sound of people and horses fighting rapidly approaching.

"Follow me!"

Li Biao didn't have time to hesitate, shouted, and rushed out in stride. He sent his own soldiers to give orders and collect all the soldiers and horses in the city, and he took the lead, with his own soldiers who were still loyal to him until this time, and rushed to the streets of the city, desperately resisting the Qiang soldiers and horses entering the city.

The battle was fierce.

Neither side of the battle was willing to retreat, and they did not give up an inch of land, so they engaged in chaotic street battles in the streets and alleys of different widths and narrows.

What caught Li Biao's eyes was the beating flames and the smiling faces of the enemy, what he could hear in his ears, except for the piercing golden horn at night, was the sound of short-handed fighting, he gritted his teeth, held a long sword, rushed into the crowd of melees, and cut down a Qiang warrior who rushed in front of him with his sword in his hand, and the soldiers behind him also rushed up one after another, guarding Li Biao and charging forward.

With the encouragement of the main general, the Longxi soldiers in the melee regained their courage, and also followed the loud shouters to charge forward, and in an instant, they worked together to kill the Qiang soldiers and horses that broke into the city in front of them, and the follow-up Qiang soldiers and horses also retreated in other directions when they saw this.

The panting Li Biao carried the long sword that had been curled, looked around, and saw that all the soldiers in Longxi around him were injured, a total of only two hundred, and the fire of the city gate tower in the distance was soaring into the sky, visible from far and near, and the sound of soldiers and horses fighting continued to come with the fishy wind.

In order to eliminate the resistance of the Longxi soldiers as soon as possible, they even did not hesitate to use fire to burn the resisting Longxi soldiers and the city tower in the dark night.

The fire that rose to the sky illuminated the heavy black curtain, and it seemed to be a sign that after tonight, the Li family in Longxi would cease to exist with the firelight.
