Pei Lin thought that he had chosen a good place to set up camp, but Song Jingang, who was really good at using soldiers, quickly gave him a head start, so that Pei Lin knew what the way to use soldiers was.

What flows through Dusuo Yuan is the mountain stream water, that is, after Pei Lin camped again, the drinking water in the military camp came from the Jieshan Mountain behind him, but on the second day, the soldiers in Pei Lin's army found that the mountain stream that was still trickling last night had dried up when he woke up!

"The thieves must have cut off the water source!" Pei Lin was not stupid, he immediately guessed the reason why the stream dried up overnight, and he immediately sent thousands of men and horses to Jieshan, wanting to recapture the water source, but Song Jingang had already sent soldiers to occupy the dangerous place of Jieshan to defend, Pei Lin let the soldiers attack for nearly a day, but still did not conquer.

At this time, the Tang soldiers were thirsty and tired, and the next day, Pei Lin wanted to move the camp close to the water source, Song Jingang took the opportunity to wave his troops to attack, Pei Lin's army was a little caught off guard, and he was hungry and thirsty and tired, so he was quickly defeated and retreated.

After Pei Lin saw that the situation was not good, he felt scared in his heart, and he thought that he had a good life in Chang'an, why did he have to come here to find hardship?

Pei Lin turned a few times with his pair of rat eyes, and let people continue to hold the handsome flag in place, while he himself secretly retreated back with the guard battalion around him, and when he retreated to the end of the military formation, Pei Lin actually left the large army, ran away with the guard camp, and fled all the way to the south.

"The boss is gone!" Some soldiers in the Tang army shouted in despair, and the other generals and soldiers, after learning that the commander Pei Lin had run away, no longer struggled to support, and also scattered and fled, so tens of thousands of Tang troops were defeated in this Suoyuan, and the soldiers were almost wiped out.

Pei Lin galloped for a day and a night, and finally arrived in Jinzhou (formerly Linfen County), so he was shocked and hurriedly wrote a letter to apologize, and Li Yuan issued an edict to greatly comfort him, so that he could continue to pacify Hedong and resist Liu Wuzhou.

Prior to this, Liu Wuzhou repeatedly sent troops to attack Xihe City, Tang Fenzhou assassin Liu Zhen resisted the enemy, and Li Zhongwen and Jiang Baoyi, who had been defeated in the Bird Mouse Valley, also led troops to Fenzhou to defend Xihe City with Liu Gan.

After the defeat of Pei Liandu Suoyuan, Song Jingang attacked the city in all directions, and all the towns north of Jinzhou fell, except for Xihe City, Jinyang and Yanmen, which were still under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

But Jiang Baoyi didn't want to retreat into the city, and wanted to lead his troops to fight the enemy, he was the general of Zuo Wuwei, Liu Zhen and Li Zhongwen couldn't control him, and they persuaded him to no avail, so they had to let him go out of the city.

Soon after, Jiang Baoyi was captured by Song Jingang again, and when he secretly plotted to escape back to the Tang Dynasty in the enemy camp, the matter was revealed and he was killed by Song Jingang.

After Du Suoyuan defeated Pei Lian's army of tens of thousands and captured most of the cities north of Jinju, in early July, Liu Wuzhou ordered his troops to advance to Jinyang in order to seize the most important city in the Hedong region.

Seeing that Liu Wu and Zhou's soldiers were so fierce and the reinforcements were defeated one after another, Li Yuanji at this time was already frightened, and he regretted that at the beginning of this year, he coveted a moment of pleasure in Jinyang, and did not go to Chang'an.

Dou Kang's son and the palace supervisor Dou Dan pulled Li Yuanji aside at this time, and said tremblingly: "General, it's better to ...... Why don't we evacuate this place and return to Chang'an! ”

After Li Yuanji heard this, he couldn't help but feel his eyes light up, and said with a little excitement: "Yes, there is only one way to die if you continue to stay in Jinyang, I should leave quickly before Liu Wu and Zhou's soldiers besiege Jinyang!" ”

After hearing this, Dou Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew Li Yuanji's character very well, and knew that he was more greedy for life and afraid of death than anyone else, but he was afraid that he would have a convulsion in his head for a while, and if he wanted to defend Jinyang, then he would have to flee for his life.

The reason why Dou Dan wanted to pull Li Yuanji to run away with him was also after some consideration, this was not because of how righteous he was, but because he thought that after pulling Li Yuanji, there would definitely be Li Yuanji to bear the blame, and in addition, he also wanted Li Yuanji to take away some of Jinyang's troops to increase the safety of escape.

"Why did you take only a part of your troops?" Li Yuanji glanced at Dou Dan, "Of course, all the elites have been taken away, otherwise how can we protect the safety of General Ben!" ”

Dou Dan was stunned for a moment, "If you take all the elites away, I'm afraid that no one will be able to defend Jinyang, this ...... Isn't that good? ”

Li Yuanji snorted, "This general can't manage so much." After he finished speaking, he walked away, Dou Dan saw that Li Yuanji didn't care about the life or death of Jinyang City so much, and he didn't care about it himself, it still mattered if he could escape Chang'an.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Li Yuanji summoned 30,000 elites in Jinyang, and then said to Sima Liu Dewei and the right guard general Yu Wenxin: "You two will guard the city with the old and weak, and I will lead strong troops to fight Liu Wuzhou." ”

Liu Dewei and Yu Wenxin would not have thought that this sister-in-law of the Li family had planned to abandon this city of Longxing of his own family, thinking that Li Yuanji was going to fight Liu Wuzhou, and strongly persuaded: "Liu Wuzhou's soldiers are too strong, and the general still guards the city and waits for reinforcements." ”

Li Yuanji said righteously: "Since the beginning of the army, my Li family has swept **, and I haven't met an opponent yet, how can I be afraid of him Liu Wuzhou?" You don't need to say much, just defend the city for the sake of the general. ”

Liu Dewei and Yu Wenxin still disagreed, Li Yuanji was angry, and let the two of them be put in prison, and then took his wife and concubines, and a cart of property looted over the years, and hurriedly left Jinyang City with 30,000 elite soldiers and fled to Chang'an.

"When you are at war with the enemy, how can you bring your wife and concubine? I think he King Qi gave up Jinyang! "The people of Jinyang are not stupid, after the local Haoqiang Xue Shen saw this situation, he immediately understood and shouted to the others.

And when Li Yuanji left Jinyang less than half a day, Liu Wuzhou's army arrived at the city of Jinyang, and at this time, the people of Jinyang made it clear that Li Yuanji had completely abandoned them.

So, because Liu Dewei and Yu Wenxin were both locked in prison cells, Jinyang was temporarily unpresiding, so Haoqiang Xue Shen and others immediately offered the city to accept Liu Wuzhou.

This most important city in the Hedong region and the Longxing land of the Li family was captured by Liu Wu and Zhou's soldiers bloodlessly.

Li Yuanji did not walk fast because of the large number of troops and many women and gold and silver baggage, and when he was still halfway to Chang'an, the news of Jinyang's loss had reached Chang'an.

When Li Yuan heard the news, he was extremely angry, Li Yuanji had a bad record in Jinyang, and many ministers played for this, asking for a replacement to guard Jinyang, but he pressed it down again and again.

But now, Li Yuanji is going to give up Jinyang and flee like this, where does this make his old face go?

Li Yuan thought about it and felt that it would be better to put the main responsibility for this matter on to others.
