The sudden change in the battlefield situation had forced Du Yan to abandon his original plan to rush to aid Baidaozhou, and a cavalry army of more than 10,000 cavalry in the Turkic camp suddenly went around the flank of the Sui army's formation, which made Du Yan immediately realize that it was likely that the Turkic army on the opposite side had learned that Yang Shuang was leading the army to storm Dujin Mountain, and this was to send a cavalry army to aid Dujin Mountain.

In view of the unclear situation in Baidaozhou, and the Turkic reinforcements are constantly rushing in the direction of Wuyuan City, at this moment, only by combining Yang Shuang and the two groups of men and horses led by himself in one place and concentrating on the enemy can there be a glimmer of life.

Thinking about this, Du Yan made a decisive decision: the whole army retreated to Wuyuan City at all costs, and at the same time sent people to implore Yang Shuang to lead the army to give up the attack on Dujin Mountain, and rush to Wuyuan City to meet his own men.

Under the pressure of tens of thousands of Turkic iron cavalry, Du Yan commanded 40,000 infantry troops, not only to intercept the Dyegan Department to bypass the Sui army formation and rush to the aid of Dujin Mountain, but also to prevent the sudden attack and conflict from the frontal Turkic iron cavalry, and also to speed up the retreat to Wuyuan City, the difficulty of which can be imagined.

After two days and three nights, after paying the price of the lives of thousands of Sui soldiers, Du Yan lived up to Yang Shuang's trust, and brought most of the Sui soldiers back to Wuyuan City safe and sound under the advance of tens of thousands of Turkic iron cavalry.

Half a day later, Yang Shuang led the 20,000 Sui troops who attacked Dujin Mountain and also withdrew to Wuyuan City, and the two Sui armies would be united, totaling about 60,000 horses, and set up large camps on the north and south sides, and began a difficult confrontation with the Turkic armies in the north and south.

As soon as Yang Shuang led the army to withdraw to Wuyuan City, he immediately sent multiple scouts to inquire about the news, and according to the strength of the enemy's north and south roads, the commander of the Chinese army was stationed outside the south gate of Wuyuan City, focusing on guarding against the attack on Wuyuan City by Turkic reinforcements from the south road.

Because the south gate of Wuyuan City had been completely burned down by Yongyu Lu's order in the previous battle of Wuyuan City, and there was no danger to the south of Wuyuan City, Yang Shuang ordered the sergeants to dig two trenches one zhang deep and three zhang wide in front and behind his camp around the clock to replace the city wall and lay two barriers to block the attack of the Turkic army. In order to boost and motivate the morale of the army, he personally sat in the camp between the two trenches to show his determination and confidence to stick to Wuyuan City to the death.

The two Sui armies met in Wuyuan City and stepped up their defenses at the same time, the Second Khan Anluo led his tribe's 70,000 troops to the outside of Wuyuan City. In this way, in addition to the 40,000 Turkic main forces led by Gu Hezhen to capture Baidao Prefecture, the total number of Turkic troops gathered in the south of Wuyuan City reached 80,000, plus more than 10,000 horses left under the command of Luo Yu and Yongyu Lu in the north, and the Turks with 90,000 horses, divided the troops into the north and south, and besieged the 60,000 Sui army led by Yang Shuang in Wuyuan City, which was 300 miles away from Yanmen Pass in the north.

Zhou Shao was fortunate to escape from the city of Baidaozhou, which was lost by the Sui army, under the support of his own soldiers, and rushed back to Yanmen Pass non-stop, reporting the news of the return of the main Turkic force and the fall of Baidaozhou. After receiving the report, Li Xiong, the secretary of the Xingtai Military Department of Hebei Province, who led the army to garrison Yanmen Pass, immediately strengthened his vigilance and defense against the movements of the Turkic army outside the pass, and at the same time sent someone to send Zhou Yao back to Bingzhou to meet Yang Guang.

In the more than half a month since Yang Shuang led the army out of the customs, although Yang Guang's leg injury has recovered, it will take some time before he gets out of bed and walks around, so he temporarily entrusts the affairs of Xingtai to Zhang Wei and Wang Shao, two servants of Xingtai, to deal with it, and he concentrates on recuperating his injuries under the careful care of An Ruoxi.

Zhou Yao was escorted back to Bingzhou by Li Xiong, and when he came to the Xingtai Government Office to ask to see Yang Guang, Yang Guang was serving two maids, Xiao Xiao and Sese, half-lying under the porch with squinted eyes, watching An Ruoxi train the "black general".

Hearing that someone outside the customs brought back an emergency military report, Yang Guang immediately straightened up from the couch in shock, and immediately ordered Xian to take Zhou Shao to see him.

Zhou Shao tiredly followed Xian Yuluo into the small courtyard where Yang Guang lived, turned over and fell at Yang Guang's feet, and reported to Yang Guangyu hoarsely about the history of Baidaozhou being captured by the Turkic army, and begged Yang Guang to immediately send an order to send troops to meet Yang Shuang's headquarters.

Yang Guang was hindered that Zhou Shao was a general under Yang Shuang, so it was inconvenient to reprimand him too much, so he ordered someone to take Zhou Yao down to settle down, and invited two servants to shoot and Li Che to come to the small courtyard to discuss countermeasures.

An Ruoxi stood behind Yang Guang, quietly listened to Zhou Shao's report, and when Zhang Wei, Wang Shao, Li Che and others did not arrive, he leaned down and asked Yang Guang in a low voice: "How does the prince plan to deal with the changes in the situation outside the customs?" ”

"Naturally, we must send troops outside the pass at all costs to receive the sixth uncle's safe withdrawal to Yanmen Pass." Yang Guang replied without thinking.

"If the main army of the Turkic Sha Bo Strategy comes back to help, and the existing more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the prefecture are merged, has the prince thought about it, can he smoothly receive His Royal Highness King Wei to withdraw to Yanmen Pass?" An Ruoxi asked quietly.

"According to what Zhou Shao said, the Turkic army that captured Baidaozhou is only 40,000 horses, and the sixth uncle has 80,000 horses out of the pass, and if I send Li Che to lead 20,000 horses out of the pass to respond, it shouldn't be a problem." Yang Guang looked up at An Ruoxi in confusion, and his tone of voice was no longer as firm as Fang Cai.

"The prince must remember that before discovering the exact military strength of the Turkic reinforcements, you must not act rashly, let alone rashly transfer troops out of the pass to meet the king of Wei." An Ruoxi told Yang Guangdao seriously.

"Are you saying that I don't want to see death and not save me, and watch the 80,000 horses led by the sixth uncle being caught between the north and south of the Turks without sending troops to try to rescue them?" Yang Guang sat up straight and raised his voice to question An Ruoxidao.

"The prince will calm his anger for the time being, and after the two servants of the stage and the Duke of Qi An arrive later, please listen to the opinions of several of them before making a decision." An Ruoxi took into account that Yang Guang had an injury on his leg and was inconvenient to make him angry again, so he leaned over to comfort him.

"What do you mean, this is not good, that is not good, in your opinion, how to deal with the changes that occur outside the customs?" Yang Guang was very dissatisfied with An Ruoxi's dissuasion that he would send troops out of the customs to meet Yang Shuang, and complained to her with a calm face.

"I haven't thought it through. However, in my opinion, the prince does not need to worry too much about King Wei. King Wei has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are 80,000 people under his command, even if the main army of 100,000 or tens of thousands of Sha Bo has returned to the five plains, with the army under the command of King Wei, it should be able to support for 350 days. For the sake of safety, please ask the prince to settle down first, listen to the opinions of the two servants and Qi Angong, and then make a decision. An Ruoxi saw that Yang Guang was annoyed for a while, and hurriedly explained to him.
