The gate of Xihai City is closed, only the south of the city allows the people to enter but not to leave, the Rouran people have crossed the desert last night and are now stationed near Juyanze, less than fifty miles away from Xihai City.

The army of Zhenbei Army withdrew to Xihai City, and flags were displayed on the head of the city, and the guard Yang Shizhong wore armor to patrol back and forth at the head of the city.

In the meeting hall of the General's Mansion in Zhenbei, the generals gathered, and Zhang Jing convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"General, now that the Rouran thieves are attacking my West Sea, the thieves under Hu Lu are plundering everywhere, and most of the scouts sent by the last general have lost contact, and I am afraid that they are already more than lucky. Can we only sit in the city and watch the thieves run rampant? After thundering out of the column and saluting Zhang Jing, he was unwilling.

"Yes, general, although the number of the northern army of my town is the same as that of the Rouran thieves, but the northern army of my town is also a man who dares to fight, and the general ordered me to lead the troops into the camp of the thieves of Rouran. Let them know how powerful the Northern Army of the town is! As soon as Hammer heard the thunder finish, he immediately chimed in.

After listening to this, Zhang Jing sat on the main seat, glanced at everyone without saying a word, and suddenly his eyes stayed on Li Yan.

"General Li, what do you think should be done for the sake of today?" Zhang Jing stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

"General Hui, the Rouran people are menacing, and there are thousands of iron horsemen, if you directly fight head-on, I'm afraid~" Li Yan said again and again.

"Huh? Could it be that the northern army of my town can really only cling to the high wall and wait for the Rouran thieves to besiege the West Sea? Zhang Jing's face was displeased when he heard this.

"General, the Rouran thief is now working far away, and it is okay for me to wait for work. Now the army of Rouran thieves is camped less than fifty miles away from our West Sea, but all the grain and grass are hidden in the Yellow Sand Valley a hundred miles away, and there are about 500 cavalry guards in it. Li Yan pondered for a moment and shared his thoughts and thoughts.

"What General Li said is also true, but now there are thieves outside the city, and every move of the northern army of our town is under the control of thieves, how can you lead the army out of the city?" Zhang Jing stroked his beard, then got up and said.

"Back to the general, the two hundred sergeants under the command of Captain Han Qian have ordered him to wait in the col ten miles west of the city, and the last general and Captain Han rode out of the city, and the thieves' sentries could not catch up with the last general." Li Yan looked at Han Qian on the side, and said with a fist at Zhang Jing.

"Good. That will be waiting for good news, be sure to take care! Zhang Jing walked up to Li Yan and admonished.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

"General, let the last general go with you." Seeing that Li Yan was about to leave, Lei Ming stepped forward and said.

"No, the guards of Xihai City can't do without you, you can stay in the city and have a response, I will go west this time to bypass Juyanze and then divert to take Huangsha Valley directly, the number of people should not be too much." Li Yan patted Lei Ming's shoulder, turned around and got on the horse.

Li Yan and Han Qian left Xihai City with bows and lances on their backs, shot and killed two scouts of the Rouran people on the way, and ran all the way to the west of the city.

In the mountain col, Shi and Wei Liang led the blood wolf guard to wait for Li Yan's arrival.

"Subordinate Shi and Wei Liang have seen the general." Shi and Wei Liang saw Li Yan and Han Qian coming together, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said.

"Get up, are you all ready?" Li Yan dismounted and looked at the Blood Wolf Guard in front of him.

"Back to the general, the blood wolf guard is ready, and he will always go into battle with the general to kill the enemy." The blood wolf said in unison.

"Good! Tonight, I will go with the general to raid the grain and grass camp of the Rouran thieves, as long as the grain and grass are burned, it will be a great achievement. Do you get it? Li Yan said loudly.

"Understood!"

"Alright, let's go!" Li Yan got on his horse and ordered.

The Blood Wolf Guards behind him each carried a longbow and quiver behind their backs, a big knife in their hands, and a military stab in their hands, and they all mounted their horses and followed behind Li Yan and Han Qian.

Li Yan led the Blood Wolf Guard westward bypassing the vast Juyanze, and then running north towards the valley.

The sky has already begun to be full of darkness, and there are still twenty miles ahead to reach the Yellow Sand Valley, Li Yan ordered the Blood Wolf Guard to get off his horse and rest in place for half an hour, eat enough dry food and water, tonight will be a sleepless night.

The Hun camp ten miles southeast of Lejun County, the 20,000 iron cavalry under the command of the hundred years commander of Fuqu is ready to set off.

"Centennial general, this battle is up to you, after the third watch, this general will order a feint attack on the Xiliang camp, you take advantage of the night to capture the camp of the Xiliang army Suoxun, if you can capture the Suoxun camp in the north of Lejuan City, then Tang Yao's army will be chaotic, and then my Daliang Iron Cavalry will turn Lejuan into Tang Yao's 80,000 army burial place in one fell swoop!" Fuqu looked at the black armor in front of him, and seemed to see the scene of the Xiliang army throwing away their armor and running away.

"Rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the general's trust!" After saying that, he led the troops out of the camp.

In Jiuquan City, Li Wei of Liangwangfu was discussing with Song Miao in the study.

"Second brother, you see that this is General Tang's secret letter, and there are only five days of military rations left in the army, how can this be good?" Li Wei took out the secret letter and put it in front of Song Xuan.

Song Miao took the secret letter with both hands and looked at it quickly.

"Brother doesn't know, in the past few months, the army has consumed millions of stone grain this year, and now Suo Changshi only raised less than 50,000 stone until yesterday, my Daliang land is sparsely populated, the land is barren, and now there is no surplus grain in the treasury." Song Miao put down the secret letter in his hand and said with a sigh.

"Brother Xian, is it true that I am going to suffer such a catastrophe?" Li Wei frowned and said in a trembling voice.

"Now that my Da Liang has reached the point of life and death, do they still have to spare the food in their hands? Alas! Song Miao shook his head with a sad expression.

"Second brother, you immediately take my warrant to the treasury in the west of the city, transfer 50,000 stone of military rations and let Suo Xian send them to Lechuan overnight, the army can't be without food, otherwise there will be chaos." Li Wei clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, that's the last grain in Jiuquan City, it's better not to use it until it is absolutely necessary." As soon as Song Xuan heard Li Wei's order to mobilize the surplus grain from the treasury in the west of the city, he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Second brother, will the skin be attached without hair? If the camp of Lechuan is short of food, the Hun thieves will win without a fight, and then my Jiuquan City will become a lonely city, what is the use of those foods! Li Wei has already made up his mind to mobilize the surplus grain from the treasury in the west of the city.

There are still 300,000 stone of grain stored in the treasury in the west of the city, enough for the army to hold on for three months, which is the last surplus grain in Jiuquan City.

Li Wei originally relied on the support of the Hexi clan to become the Dunhuang Taishou from Dunhuang Xiaogu County, and the later establishment of the Xiliang capital was inseparable from the assistance of the Hexi clan.

But over the years, these wealthy families have reduced their support for Li Wei, although they will not refuse openly, but secretly they have turned a blind eye.

"Since my brother has decided, then Song Miao should obey." Song Miao knew that once his brother made up his mind, it would be difficult to change.

"Hmmm! You take the warrant and immediately go to the west of the city to get food. Li Wei picked up a token from the case and handed it to Song Xuan.

After Song Miao left, Li Wei let out a long sigh, and under the flickering candlelight, he looked much older.

Outside the Yellow Sand Valley, in the dark night, Li Yan led the Blood Wolf Guards behind him to move forward slowly, and on the way to the valley, he had already shot more than a dozen Rouran secret agents, if it weren't for the well-trained blood wolf guards, they would have been discovered a long time ago.

"The enemy's guards, except for the dozen or so night guards in front, are mostly in the camp tents inside, and we will solve the dozen or so at the door first, Brother Han, you lead fifty people straight to the grain and grass behind, don't pay attention to anything else, just burn the grain and grass, and the rest of the people will kill the enemy with me." Li Yan ordered Han Qian and the others behind him.

With Li Yan's order, Wei Liang led more than a dozen blood wolf guards to quickly step forward, and the military thorn in his hand pierced through the neck of the Rouran people, dripping with blood.

"Quick, get in!" Li Yan saw Wei Liang open the camp gate, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rushed to the camp in the valley with a lance.

The blood wolf guards behind him swarmed up, and Han Qian went straight to the grain and grass in the back camp.

The Rouran heard the sound of horses' hooves and rushed out of the tent quickly.

"Kill," the big knife in the blood wolf guard's hand slashed at the Rouran people who were killing him.

The horse lance in Li Yan's hand stabbed hard at the onrushing enemy, and Sergeant Rouran was pierced through the chest by the lance, and blood immediately spurted out.

There were some sleeping sergeants in the tent, and the yurt was lit by the blood wolf guard, and the fire burned instantly, and the valley was full of fire.

These blood wolf guards licked the blood from the corners of their mouths, like a pack of hungry wolves rushing into the flock, taking away a life with a single sword.

The whole valley was full of murderous sounds, and blood flowed all over the ground. From time to time, there were Rouran people who were engulfed in fire and wailed on the ground, and the whole person was burned to charcoal.

Han Qian led the fifty blood wolf guards all the way straight to the grain and grass, and those Rouran people who tried to block them on the road were all pierced through their chests by Han Qian.

"Burn, burn it all for me." Han Qian looked at the pile of grain and grass in front of him like a hill, and shouted loudly.

There were nearly 10,000 sheep in captivity next to the grain and grass, Han Qian gritted his teeth, and the torch in the hand of the Blood Wolf Guard set the entire sheepfold on fire.

These flocks of sheep are the military food of the Rouran people, and unlike the Qiang people, who feed on people, these Rouran people prefer to use cattle and sheep as military food.

Han Qian also felt a pity when he saw so many sheep disappearing under a fire.

An hour later, all the people of the valley were killed. The Blood Wolf Guard lost more than ten people, and Li Yan felt a heartache in his heart, these Blood Wolf Guards were all cultivated by himself.

"Childe, it's all burned. At least nearly 100,000 stones of grain and grass and an estimated number of tens of thousands of sheep were burned. Han Qian returned to Li Yan's side and said with a heartache on his face.

"Good! That's good! Hurry up and collect the remains of the Blood Wolf Guard, you can't leave them here. We need to get out of here. Li Yan ordered the Blood Wolf Guard in front of him.

Everyone put the remains of the blood wolf guard on the ground on horseback, followed behind Li Yan, and quickly left the valley, leaving only the corpses of the Rouran people on the ground and the flaming camp.

Before dawn, Li Yan and his party entered the city from the west gate of Xihai City.

Zhang Jing heard that Li Yan and his party had returned to Xihai City and went straight to the school.

"The last general has seen the general!" Li Yan and the blood wolf guard behind him saluted Zhang Jing and said.

"General Li is worthy of being the eldest grandson of King Liang, and his courage and good fighting are comparable to the ancestral General Fei, haha!" Zhang Jing dismounted and looked at the blood wolf guard in front of him, all of them looked resolute, did not squint, and couldn't help but nod.
