Dealing with the prison guard Wang Wei and the deputy guard Gao Junya, Li Yuan did not drag the water, and on the second day, he put on the name of colluding with the Turks and corrected the law in prison.

Regarding Li Yuan's killing of these two people, although there was no one to say anything about the officials in Taiyuan, there were still some slanders in secret, but this slander only lasted for one afternoon.

In the evening of the same day, a Turkic cavalry of 3,000 men and Liu Wuzhou's army of 20,000 appeared at the north gate of Jinyang City.

Hundreds of Turkic vanguards broke into Jinyang City from the north gate and then out of the east gate, but the chaotic bazaars and corpses strewn across the ground showed that it was not a dream.

As soon as this incident came out, who would dare to suspect that Wang Wei and Gao Junya died unjustly?

Li Yuan immediately ordered people to hang the heads of Wang Wei and Gao Junya in the city tower, and then ordered Li Shimin to ambush the trained soldiers on the main artery in the city, and ordered Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing and others to lead the army to guard each city gate and open the city gate wide.

He also ordered Li Jiancheng to lead 2,000 cavalry to ambush at the north gate, and if the Turkic brigade left, he would rob the horses of their rear team for military use.

Li Yuan's empty city plan really frightened the Turks and Liu Wuzhou's coalition army, and they only chose to retreat after looking outside Jinyang City for a while.

Li Jiancheng admired Li Yuan's materiality like a god, thinking that the enemy had really retreated, and then rushed out; Unbeknownst to him, the enemy's coalition forces suddenly killed a horse pistol and attacked Li Jiancheng's troops with the rear team.

In the face of the powerful Turkic cavalry, Li Jiancheng's elite had no power to fight back, and was forced to retreat to the Fen River, most of them died under the swords and spears of the Turks, and some died in the Fen River, and only dozens of people jumped into the river and swam to the opposite bank to survive.

After entering the night, more and more Turks besieged Jinyang again and set up camp.

For the brutality of the Turks, the people of the border counties have long suffered from it; At this moment, Jinyang was besieged, and the people in the city were all vying for the first place, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Turks to the death.

Li Yuan's troops in his hands had reached 100,000 at this time, and if these people were used to fight to the death against the Turks in the city, it was really difficult to predict who would die in the end, but this was not in line with Li Yuan's actual interests at all.

The reason why Li Yuan did everything possible to recruit troops was to participate in the struggle for the world, so how could he choose to fight to the death with the Turks?

Li Yuan then sent Liu Wenjing to send a letter to Shibi Khan overnight, in which Li Yuan promised that he would march the Xingyi army west into Guanzhong, welcome Yang Guang back from Jiangdu, and then re-establish an alliance with the Turks to restore harmonious diplomatic relations with the Turks.

Li Yuan hoped that Shibi Khan would not intrude on the Han land, and promised to give Shibi the wealth and silks of his children obtained during the western expedition, and did not need him to come to work.

If Li Yuan hadn't been tougher, the Turkic soldiers would probably have to withdraw their troops from the Central Plains tomorrow and return to the Turks; Because on this very day, the Turkic Shibi Khan suddenly suffered from angina pectoris and died in the evening of the same day.

After receiving Li Yuan's letter that he had placed himself in a humble position, the Turkic high-ranking people realized Li Yuan's mentality of begging to hug his thighs, and then urgently held a meeting and vetoed Li Yuan's proposal in an attempt to get away with it.

Liu Wenjing was unable to meet Shibi Khan, but received assurances from the Turkic side that there were three days for negotiations between them.

"Shibi Khan" said that he was willing to send some horses, and even sent cavalry to accompany him to the west to help him; But Li Yuan had the same obligation as in the last negotiation, that is, to be a vassal to him like Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu.

The information that Liu Wenjing brought back was not much different from what Li Yuan thought.

Li Shimin believed that Shibi Khan was short-sighted, and his eyes could only see the wealth of the Central Plains, even if he was strong, it was only for a while, and it was necessary to tolerate it temporarily.

Li Yuan also thought so, and immediately agreed to the Turkic conditions, began to write letters to Shibi Khan, and sent his sixth son, Li Yuanjing, to the Turkic military camp.

At the same time, Li Yuan sent 20,000 pieces of silk and silk in the Jinyang Palace, a large amount of gold and silver, and hundreds of palace maids to the Turkic military camp.

Li Yuan believed that as long as the benefits he gave were more than those given by Liu Wuzhou, the Turks would be more inclined to their side, and they would not have any worries about their westward expedition.

When Li Yuan threw himself into the arms of the Turks, because he heard that Wei Dao'er, who had formed an alliance with Su You and Luo Yi, had also reached a temporary alliance with Dou Jiande, their goal was naturally to carve up Luo Yi's rapidly expanding territory.

In the past few days, the 7,000 horsemen and horses commanded by Wei Ting, Wang Qi, and Fu Ziheng and others took Liaoxi County without blood, and then they began to march towards Liaodong County in the north.

The reason why the attack on Liaodong City and Changli County was canceled and the use of encirclement points for reinforcements was because Su You found that Gao Kaidao's troops were too weak, and he felt that his three hundred artillery pieces and seven or eight thousand coalition troops had no pressure at all to storm Liaodong City.

Besides, if Wang Qi and Wei Ting's 4,000 troops were allowed to sail to Liaodong City with him, they could maintain their physical strength, and secondly, they would avoid encountering reinforcements that Changli County might send to Liaoxi County in the Liaoxi Corridor.

These reinforcements can be eliminated by the defenders guarding Liaoxi County, and there is really no need to waste the time and energy of Wei Ting and Wang Qi's troops; What's more, as long as Liaodong City is defeated and Gao Kaidao is eliminated, the thieves in Changli County will only have one way to surrender.

For the fate of Gao Kaidao's army, Su You has his own vision; Instead of killing them, use them as tools to expand against the Turks and Kumoxi.

Two days later, Su You's fleet entered the Da Liao River from Yingkou.

The Liao River is the mother river of Liaodong, and the Liao River has nothing to do with the Shenyang Liaoyang of the later generations, but the two tributaries of the upper reaches of the Great Liao River pass through Shenyang and Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is also the Liaodong City of this era, and the tributary that flows through the Liaodong City is the Liang River. The Liang River was called Yanshui, Daliang River, and Liangshui in ancient times; Because Yan Prince Dan fled here, it is also known as Prince River.

Along the Great Liao River to the north, after traveling for half a day, entering the Liang River in Niuzhuang, Su You's fleet was only more than 300 miles away from Liaodong City at this time, and the season entered March.

On the first day of the first month of March, Li Yuan officially built an altar, offered sacrifices to the sky, proclaimed himself the general of the Great Sui State, and divided hundreds of officials.

Li Yuan appointed Li Yuanji as the garrison of Taiyuan and led more than 10,000 people of the Third Army to guard Jinyang; He himself led nearly 100,000 troops out of Jinyang and stationed in Wudenan and began the great cause of conquering the world.

On this day, Wang Shichong and Li Mi began the most important battle between them.

In the afternoon, the river beaches on both sides of the Shizi River were full of people, flags were flying, and the army led by Wang Shichong and Li Mi totaled more than 200,000 people across the river.

Wang Shichong pulled the reins of the horse, stopped the restlessness of the war horse under him, and stared at Li Mi's battle flag, the person under the battle flag was the enemy worthy of his attention.

After the last defeat in the north of Luoshui, Wang Shichong closed his camp and refused to fight; At this time, King Yang of Yue sent an envoy into the camp to work in the army.

The envoy did not publicly accuse Wang Shichong, but in private conversations, he still expressed the dissatisfaction of the imperial court to Wang Shichong; Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and others all thought that Wang Shichong was too afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight the Wagang army.

Wang Shichong would not take Duan Da and the others in his eyes, but he was also worried that Yang Tong would be deceived by them, and he was afraid that he would make a small report to Yang Guang in Jiangdu; If Yang Guang sends someone else to replace him, wouldn't everything about him be a chicken and a chicken?

Wang Shichong knew that he would have a battle with Li Mi sooner or later, and now it was time to have to fight, because it was already a time of green and yellow, and the morale of his own troops was slowly disappearing when Li Mi controlled most of the granaries.

"If you don't fight at this time, you won't have a chance in the future!" With this idea, Wang Shichong reluctantly overcame the fear of the disadvantage of the last battle, and then led the whole army to seek a showdown with the Wagang army.

Seeing that Li Mi's vanguard Pei Renji's banner began to rush into the Shizi River, Wang Shicheng immediately shouted, "Meet the enemy!" ”

With Wang Shichong's general order, the sound of war drums immediately sounded in the ranks of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers shouted loudly to the sky along with the rhythm of the drums.

For a time, the drums shook the sky, and the shouts of the officers and soldiers also concealed the momentum of the vanguard of the Wagang Army.

"Whoosh!"

The bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers left the strings one after another, and then the sky was suddenly filled with a rain of arrows, which flew towards the rushing Wagang army. In an instant, the entire sky was covered, and the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Wagang Army suddenly turned black.

"Raise your shield!"

Without even waiting for Pei Renji to shout these two words, the well-trained vanguard troops raised their shields one after another; They gasped for breath and rushed forward to the rain of arrows on the uneven riverbank.

A large part of Pei Renji's soldiers also came from the official army, and this attack belonged to an oolong battle between the official army and the official army!

A smile hung on the corner of Wang Shichong's mouth, and he raised the long sword at his waist into the air before falling.

"Attack!"

With Wang Shichong's order, the rhythm of the war drums in the army changed.

Under the orders of the generals, the officers and soldiers at the outpost pressed towards the Wagang army that was rushing in the rain of arrows; The officers and soldiers in the front row were wearing heavy armor, and the sunlight reflected by the armor shot straight towards the Wagang army, which suddenly blinded their kryptonite eyes.

The two armies collided like a torrent, and then quickly entangled, as if attracted by murderous aura, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Time passed slowly in the endless slaughter of both sides, and the balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of Wang Shichong's side.

At the beginning, the Wagang Army could still compete with the officers and soldiers with their blood and bravery, but after they found that their headquarters was gradually declining, the hearts of the soldiers were scattered.

Although a small half of Pei Renji's army was an official army, most of them were still thieves, and what they were best at was fighting with the wind, and after discovering that they were at a disadvantage, they then lost the memory of defeating Wang Shichong many times.

With the idea that "this battle may be lost", many Wagang troops began to think about how to escape, and then they gradually gave up the battle.

Immediately after that, the rout of the vanguard of the Wagang Army began
