When Gu Jilu heard Xiao Buyi's reply, he almost fainted. At the same time as www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion was angry, there was fear in his heart, just because Xiao Buyi's confidence was too strong and very arrogant!

If an arrogant person is not an idiot, it is most likely because he has two brushes. Xiao Buyi's words 'if you want to fight' last time, you were full of impassioned energy, but now the word 'roll' carries indescribable contempt.

Xiao Buyi doesn't even talk about it now, does it mean that he thinks this battle will be won?

Gu Jilu didn't roll, he looked at Xiao Buyi coldly, not wanting to be overwhelmed by his momentum anymore, "King Xiliang, we have an army of 200,000, if you want to compete with us, you must pay a considerable price, definitely!" He sighed heavily, and even looked at Xiao Buyi a little threateningly, "Your great enemy is Li Tang, not us, I don't believe you can't even see this key." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed, "If this sentence had been said half a year ago, this king might have considered it." At that time, this king only wanted you to get out of the Central Plains and not disturb the people of the Central Plains. But now...... If this king doesn't teach you a lesson, how can he deal with the people of the Central Plains who have suffered for half a year? Until now, you still want to occupy Dingxiang, Mayi and Yanmen, which is really a big joke in the world! If you want to negotiate, promise me a condition, and I will consider negotiating peace. ”

Gu Jilu held back his anger, "What conditions? ”

"Exit Dingxiang, and then go east from Yudu Jinshan to the Egen River, and offer the land south of this line with both hands." Xiao Buyi said lightly.

Gu Jilu laughed angrily, "We might as well give you the Turkic Tooth Tent as well." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "If you agree, I can't find any reason to oppose it." ”

Those who are angry are going crazy! It turned out that the Khan's Turkic tooth tent was in the north of the Egen River, east of the capital of Jinshan, which was a very prosperous place for the Turks.

Xiao Buyi did not negotiate sincerely at all, and his bones were angry.

"King Xiliang, don't regret your decision today!"

Xiao Buyi said word for word: "I will never regret what I have done!" He was calm, he seemed to have Zhizhu in his hand, and his bones were cold for a while, and he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Xiao Buyi waited for Gu Jilu to leave, and then said, "Jieli can't wait." ”

Wei Chigong remained silent, and when he heard Xiao Buyi speak, he said: "Gu Jilu wanted to probe our bottom, but he didn't expect it to reveal their weakness. ”

Xiao Buyi said: "Yes, it can be seen from today's conversation that our opportunity has finally arrived." But I've always wondered about one thing......"

"What?"

"Why hasn't Li Tang fought side by side with the Turkic soldiers?" Xiao Buyi said: "Li Yuan is scheming, and Li Xuanba is even more of a leader, they have no reason to think that they can defeat us with only Turkic soldiers!" If we add their attacks, we may not be able to hold this place. ”

"The summer is rainy, and it is already miserable for them to transport grain and grass, coupled with the fact that there are many Turkic soldiers, but they do not do anything, Li Yuan can be said to have made a loss-making business. Maybe...... Li Yuan hoped to place the decisive battle in Hedong, following the method of fighting against Liu Wuzhou back then, or perhaps he could no longer afford to supply so many troops to fight at the same time. To know...... Li Yuan originally invested 400,000 troops, which was something that the Tang army had never had, although Li Jiancheng had retreated to Tongguan, but the Turks had added more than 200,000 people, and they had to consume 340,000 soldiers of grain and grass, Li Yuan was suffering! ”

Xiao Buyi knew that what Yu Chigong said was the truth, but he felt that Li Xuanba was not a person who gave up easily. He didn't know a lot about Li Xuanba, so he still kept paying attention to Li Xuanba's movements. What made him strange was that Li Xuanba hadn't made any moves at all recently.

Li Xuanba, what are you thinking? Xiao Buyi thought a little strangely.

** Gu Jilu came out of the Yellow Snake Ridge, full of anger. He was humiliated by Xiao Buyi again, but the sense of shame was obviously not as good as the last time. Back in Yuci, Jieli was waiting for his news, and when he saw his face like the bottom of the pot, he already knew the result.

Gu Jilu realized the seriousness of the situation, and this time he no longer acted rashly, but told the truth, without adding fuel and vinegar. After hearing this, Jieli frowned and said, "So, are they really full of confidence?" Seemingly...... Can their grain and grass support them for a while? ”

"It should last a few months." Gu Jilu didn't dare to be sure.

Jieli sighed: "I waited for the spring to send troops, and now that winter has arrived, the soldiers have long been willing to return, if they can hold out for a few months, then the weather will be cold, and the snow will close the road, and our army will be defeated." ”

"Khan, I'll do something." Bone foundation Lu Dao.

Although he didn't have much hope for Gu Jilu, Jieli still said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Right now, I'm in a dilemma, but it's actually a plan for Li Yuan's two tigers to fight."

Jieli snorted coldly, "If you didn't say that we were out of the horse, but we could be caught, why bother to get to the point where we are today?" ”

Gu Jilu's face was slightly red, "Khan, I know that I was wrong, and now I want to atone for my sins." "Gu Ji Lu has always been a celebrity under Shi Bi and Jieli, and when Shi Bi died, Gu Ji Lu spent a lot of effort to assist Jieli at the upper end. Although Jieli is greedy and cruel, he knows that it is closely related to Gu Jilu, so he no longer reprimands. Gu Jilu said: "At present, Li Tang has not sent troops to Taiyuan under the pretext of lack of troops, so that we and the Western Liang army will lose both." Since we can't attack for a long time, and the soldiers are tired of it, it is better to return north for the time being. ”

"Just go back like this?" Jieli said dissatisfied.

"Of course I don't just go back. We can temporarily return to the north, or go to Tianchi, or go to the side pass, but if we can't do it, we can retreat to Mayi or Dingxiang to observe the movement. When the Western Liang army saw us retreating, they should relax their vigilance and go all out to deal with Li Tang. If they go to Taiyuan, they will soon fight with Li Tang, then we can easily stay out of the matter, and even attack the back of the Western Liang army, and be ashamed! ”

Jieli was shocked, he and Li Tang were originally in a relationship of mutual use, and there was no alliance. At the beginning, the eldest grandson Shunde did not invite him to send troops, but the analysis of the benefits made Jieli feel that he had to send troops. Now that the eldest grandson Shunde is gone, only Li Zhongwen and Yu Wenxin have no impact on Jieli at all. Listening to what Gu Jilu said also made sense, after thinking about it, before he could make a decision, some Turkic soldiers came to say, "Khan, the big thing is not good." ”

The Turkic soldiers were full of panic, and Jieli's heart sank, "What's the matter?" Recently, there have been many blows, and Jieli was a little shocked when he heard the news.

"Gudu Hou Krenza attacked Mengshan, and the whole army was annihilated!" Turkic soldiers.

"What? How can it be? Jieli Khan Huo Ran stood up, his face pale.

The Western Liang army has always held on to avoid the war, but the recent counteroffensive was launched almost at the same time, from Taiyuan City to Taihang Mountain hundreds of miles of area, the Turkic soldiers and the Western Liang army fought in three places, that is, from west to east of the Yellow Snake Ridge, Yanyan and Mengshan three places. These three attacks at the same time, Long Kesa returned with a crushing defeat under Xiao Buyi and Wei Chigong, Yanyan's Western Liang army shook a shot, and when Jieli killed him, he retreated to the mountains and turned around with the Turkic soldiers, so that Jieli had a large army and nowhere to exert his strength. Mengshan is close to Jingcheng, this period has always been the bone capital waiting for Krenza to be in charge of the attack, Jieli thought that the Western Liang army there was also a bluff, where did he think that his iron cavalry was beaten and the whole army was wiped out, Krenza had more than 20,000 iron cavalry, just gone?

His body shook, Jieli felt the blackness in front of him, held on to the table, and couldn't help but be shocked: "How could they all be annihilated?" Who else under Xiao Buyi has this ability? "Longkosa was defeated, Jieli didn't reprimand him too much, just because Xiao Buyi has been fighting in the north and south for many years after all, and he is the lord of the eastern capital, it would be strange if he was defeated in the hands of Longkosa, but who was Krenza defeated?

Who else in the Western Liang Army can annihilate Krenza's cavalry so neatly?

That's 20,000 Turkic cavalry!

The Turkic soldier hesitated slightly, and said in a wailing voice: "I heard that it is...... Li, Jing! ”

Li Jing?

Li Jing went to Shanxi?

Hasn't he been at the Blue Pass all the time?

Everyone had this doubt, and everyone was shocked by the name Li Jing. Although Gu Jilu slandered this name in every possible way, he couldn't help but admit that the person who gave the most ruthless blow to the arrogant grassland people over the years was Li Jing.

Heroes are heroes, so why should others comment? A famous general is still a famous general, and as soon as he makes a move, he gives the Turks a blow to the head!

Jieli's legs went limp, sat down, and muttered, "Li Jing...... He also came to Shanxi? He couldn't forget his eldest brother's hatred for Li Jing, and of course he couldn't forget that Li Jing made a big fuss about the Turks with only 300 people.

Many things don't exist without admitting it, and deep down, Jieli is still afraid of this Li Jing, who has never met.

The hall was silent, except for the sound of the wind. This winter, it's a bit cold!

I don't know how long it was silent, and when the sky was getting dark, Jieli remembered something and asked, "How many people did Li Jing bring?" ”

"I heard...... There were 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Jieli was shocked again, "One hundred thousand? ”

100,000 is not much, but Xiao Buyi is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he can resist his army of nearly 300,000, and Li Jing leads 100,000 troops, which is already a very terrifying thing.

"What method did Li Jing use to wipe out more than 20,000 cavalry?" Gu Jilu couldn't help but ask.

"I heard the people of Shi Aicheng say that in the early morning, Guduhou went to attack the Western Liang army, but the army went out to fight and fell into Li Jing's lure strategy, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army. When Li Jing attacked Shi Ai, our people knew that it was not good, and abandoned the city and left...... According to the news of Shi Ai's surviving soldiers, it was learned that no one in the entire Krenza army turned back. ”

"Shi Ai is also lost?" Jieli was shocked again.

The Turkic soldier said: "We are not good at defending the city, if we are trapped by Li Jing, won't we sit still and wait to die?" ”

Jieli knows that what he says is the truth, but he is always uncomfortable listening to it. Before he could say anything more, another Turkic soldier hurriedly arrived, "Khan, Li Jing's army is approaching Shouyang." ”

Jie Lihuo suddenly rose, "Isn't that not far from us?" ”

They fought for a long time to recover the cities in the eastern part of Taiyuan County, but they didn't expect to be beaten back by Li Jing in the blink of an eye. Shouyang and Yuci are no more than a hundred miles away, if Shouyang is lost, according to Li Jing's speed in the grassland, it is very possible to advance to Yuci City tonight. The cold wind rose, and Jieli was already sweating profusely.

At this time, the horse's hooves outside the palace were surging again, and the bone capital Hou Tamul rushed in and shouted: "Khan, the big thing is not good. ”

Jieli was shocked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Countless defeated troops came in the east, saying that Li Jing had already called and taken Yuxian and Leping. Drove our men out of there. ”

Jieli said angrily: "Li Jing is not an immortal, how could he fight so fast?" Nonsense! Braving the cold wind, he rushed out of the mansion and climbed to the top of the city, and was surprised to see the black-pressed Turkic soldiers gathering under the city in panic. The Turkic soldiers were completely uncontrolled and panicked. Look at the black oppression under the city, there are at least tens of thousands of people, and there are still cavalry in the east, like a crow returning to the cave at dusk.

"Khan, our soldiers are thinking of returning, and they have been defeated by the Western Liang army one after another, and now the army is disheartened......"

"Still talking nonsense about you?" Jieli scolded: "What now? ”

"There are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and with these outside the city, we can gather 100,000 people for the time being. If it is a battle with Li Jing, it is still unknown who will kill the deer. "Bone foundation Lu cheered up.

Jieli frowned, "You just said a good idea. ”

"What's the idea?" Gu Jilu was puzzled for a while.

"Retreat to Tianchi and watch the movement for the time being." Jieli made a decision, "Right now, Li Jing, Xiao Buyi and more than 100,000 Western Liang troops, even if we win, we will have to pay a lot of price." He is putting gold on his face, and he already knows in his heart that just Xiao Buyi will make him tired of running for his life, and if Li Jingruo participates, he will not escape, but he is afraid that he will die without a place to be buried.

Gu Jilu had long been worried in his heart, knowing that the situation was deteriorating, he couldn't care about his hard mouth, and agreed: "The Khan's words are very good. ”

The city wall on the side of Yuci has long been smashed by Xiao Buyi's broken city crossbow, although the Turkic soldiers occupy it, they will not rebuild it, how can such a city be defended? Besides, even if the city gate is not broken, they have no experience in defending the city at all, and the army is overwhelming, and it is estimated that they can only abandon the city and flee. Seeing that the Turkic soldiers were gathering more and more, the more and more chaotic, Jieli Khan couldn't help but panic, and always felt that Li Jing's army would be killed at any time, so he immediately ordered to retreat to the west of Taiyuan City first.

At the command, the Turkic soldiers walked westward like cattle and sheep out of the circle.

The night was as cold as water, the wind was as cold as a knife, and the Turkic soldiers who gathered nearly 100,000 retreated westward, which was also amazing. Along the way, the Turkic soldiers next to him heard the news, pulled out the village overnight to follow, galloped all night, and arrived in Taiyuan before dawn.

Taiyuan was also in chaos, Li Zhongwen was also shocked when he saw the Turkic soldiers rolling in, and after hearing everything, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry. Even persuaded Jieli not to be nervous, maybe the opponent was just bluffing. When the east was white, all the Turkic soldiers saw that the Western Liang army had not been killed, and their hearts were a little peaceful, tired and sleepy, and they all flocked to Taiyuan City to rest, Taiyuan City was sacked again, and the people complained, Li Zhongwen was quite worried, secretly thinking that the people had been embarrassed in the past six months, and if the Turkic soldiers left, they were afraid that the people of Taiyuan would rebel. But now, I don't have the slightest idea.

When Xiao Buyi heard that the Turkic soldiers were defeated all the way, he was overjoyed. He got up early and discussed with Wei Chigong the next strategy to fight the Turks. At this time, a soldier came to say, "General Li Jing Li asks to see!" ”

Xiao Buyi was overjoyed, and Wei Chigong went out of the tent to greet him, and saw Li Jing standing outside the tent, followed by the general Zhang Liang. When the four of them met, the joy in their hearts was overflowing.

"General Li is really majestic, and with just a banner, he let the Turkic soldiers flee when they hear the news." Xiao Buyi laughed.

Seeing Xiao Buyi, although Li Jing's face was still as iron, there was already a warm meaning in his eyes, "It's not that I'm majestic, it's that King Xiliang and General Wei Chi have fought really well in the past six months." ”

"Let's talk about it after entering the account." Several people entered the account, and they all sat on the ground. Xiao Buyi knew that the opportunity was rare, and said straight to the point: "I have heard that General Li killed more than 20,000 Turkic soldiers in Mengshan, but the specific situation is not clear. ”

Li Jing said: "The past is not enough. He said plainly, not happy at all about the big victory, Wei Chigong has always admired Li Jing, seeing his honor and disgrace is not surprised, recalling a conversation back then, he is even more emotional, and said: "I and the king of Xiliang joined forces to attack, these days to kill only 20,000 enemies, if General Li's record is less than one, then we are really ashamed." ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Liang said: "In fact, General Li took advantage of the arrogant enemy psychology of the Turkic soldiers and led them all the way into the hinterland. Those Turks really thought that they were not bad, and pursued them all the way, but they did not know that General Li had already divided his troops to cut off his rear route, and when they realized that something was wrong, they had already besieged them on all sides. On the one hand, we are shield bearers and pikemen, on the other hand, trebuchets and crossbows are wantonly bombarding, on the other hand, the mountains are blocking the way, and on the other hand, General Li is leading the army. ”

Xiao Buyi was not surprised by Li Jing's victory, and Wei Chigong was leisurely fascinated and sighed: "General Li is General Li, and he really lives up to his reputation." ”

Li Jing said: "The art of war has clouds, 'ten will surround it, five will attack it, and double it will fight.'" 'My army is far superior to the Turks, and if I can't win again, I really deserve the trust of the king of Xiliang. General Wei Chi, you and the King of Xiliang won more with less, and annihilated more than 10,000 opponents, this is something to be proud of. ”

Wei Chigong saw that Li Jing was generous and not arrogant, and he admired him even more.

Li Jing said again: "Now that we have finished complimenting each other, it's time to talk about business." Everyone laughed and found that Li Jing was by no means a stereotypical person in his bones. Xiao Buyi said: "In my opinion, the current Turkic soldiers are panicked, the army is unstable, and they are tired from fighting for a long time, so they can fight a decisive battle, drive them back to the grassland in one go, and take Loufu, Mayi, Yanmen and other places north of Taiyuan. ”

Wei Chigong agreed: "I also think the same way, when General Li's army arrives, put pressure on the Turkic soldiers, and then chase them hard and beat them back to their hometown." ”

Li Jing groaned: "I...... Some comments ......"

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, and already knew that Li Jing had a different opinion, "General Li, you might as well talk about it." ”

Li Jing said: "The current situation is roughly in line with our expectations, but there is one thing that surprises me, that is, the defeat of the Turks is too fast. ”

"General Li is afraid that they have an ambush?" Wei Chigong asked.

"If there is an ambush, it would be better." Li Jing said. Seeing that everyone was stunned, Li Jing explained: "If they have an ambush, it means that they are ready to fight us to the death." At present, the Turkic soldiers heading south are all elite soldiers of the steppe, and if this battle is damaged, the grassland will definitely be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover for several years. ”

Wei Chigong asked tentatively, "General Li's original intention was to completely annihilate the Turkic soldiers who went south this time?" ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but be shocked, his current enemy was Li Tang, in fact, he wanted to teach the Turks a lesson, after expelling them back to the grassland, destroy Li Tang first, and then attack the Turks, where did he think that Li Jing actually had such a majestic ambition!

Li Jing nodded and said: "Since I have sent troops, I am ready to give them a fatal blow, so that they will not be able to go south in a few years, only then can we eliminate Li Tang with peace of mind, recuperate, and eradicate the Turks in one breath after a few years." But the battle between the king of Xiliang and General Wei Chi made the Turks frightened, and as soon as I sent troops, I destroyed tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, I thought that the Turks would fight with me again, and I could besiege and annihilate them. But for now, it seems that they have become frightened birds. Along the way, they had no intention of fighting, they abandoned the city and fled, the Turks were fast, and it was not so simple for us to hunt them down. ”

Xiao Buyi said: "Then what does General Li have at the moment?" ”

"Make peace with the Turkic soldiers!" Li Jing said without hesitation.

Xiao Buyi was silent, thought for a long time, and his eyes lit up, "General Li wants to delay their return to the north through peace talks?" ”

Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes, the Turks are greedy, if they see us negotiating peace, most of them will wait and see the fighters for profit." They must also hope that we will face off with the Tang army, and they will benefit from the fish, so we can temporarily send envoys to negotiate peace with them, and we must hold them back, and then we can transfer our troops to the north and seek to inflict heavy losses on the opponent. ”

"The Turks are cruel and not as reasonable as we are." Xiao Buyi said worriedly: "If the envoy goes, his life will be in danger, and this person must be able to speak well, I don't know who is the best person to send?" ”

Zhang Liang had been silent, but when he heard this, he got up and saluted: "If the King of Xiliang and General Li don't dislike it, the last general is willing to negotiate peace!" ”

Zhang Liang was originally a general of Wagang, and he has always followed Li Jing and done things safely, which was quite appreciated by Li Jing. Seeing Zhang Liang's invitation, Xiao Buyi stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Vice General Zhang, this action is very important, nine deaths and one life, have you thought clearly?" ”

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "When the last general came, he already thought clearly. The last general should have been treated with sin, and he was trusted by the King of Xiliang and General Li, and he had no retribution. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed: "Treat death as a true hero!" Well, this king will send you! ”

Li Jing said: "Vice General Zhang, you can't have the idea of dying on this trip, but think about how to drag the opponent and come back alive!" ”

"The last will understand." Zhang Liang nodded heavily, "I don't know if I'll leave immediately?" ”

"There's no hurry." Li Jing said: "Now that the Turkic soldiers are still in Taiyuan, if you go at this moment, with Li Zhongwen here, you will definitely die." Wait for me to send troops to Taiyuan, force Jieli to return north, and separate the Tang army and the Turkic army. ”

Zhang nodded, Li Jing looked at Xiao Buyi and said: "King of Western Liang, although Li Tang has not moved, I still ask you and General Wei Chi to besiege Taiyuan, and at the same time beware of the Tang army going north to help, as for the attack on the Turks, please let the last general make full arrangements." ”

Xiao Buyi agreed: "As it should be, this king should go all out to assist General Li." The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but think of what the grassland said back then. At that time, Xiao Buyi tried his best to fight for Li Jing's opportunity, he didn't want the times to be irreversible, and he couldn't get his wish in the end.

* Jieli had a nightmare, and when he woke up from the dream, Gu Jilu hurried to his bed and whispered, "Khan, it's not good. "Jieli is very depressed, during this time, the most common thing to hear is the words 'big things are not good'. Every time I heard it, it meant that something very bad had happened, and I asked, "The Western Liang army is coming?" ”

"The Khan is like a god, and his subordinates are ...... That ......"

Gu Jilu wanted to say that Khan was like a god, and his subordinates admired him, but when he saw that Jieli's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, he was afraid that the horse's fart would slap on the horse's hooves, so he kept silent.

Jieli only heard the sound of drums coming from afar, and he couldn't help but be frightened. He is in Taiyuan City, and the sound of this drum has come over, doesn't that mean that the Western Liang Army has arrived in Taiyuan?

hurriedly left the house, and saw that Li Zhongwen was already waiting outside the door, and asked shamelessly: "Li Zhongwen, how is the battle situation now?" ”

Li Zhongwen was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't understand why he had asked Xijing for troops several times, but Hedong just didn't send troops to reinforce him, could it be said that the saint had given up Taiyuan? Seeing Jieli's panic, thinking of his usual arrogance, he was a little happy in his heart.

"Outside the city, thousands of Western Liang troops beat drums and disturbed the people, but no large army came. Thinking that the Western Liang army is only tens of thousands of troops in Shanxi, and the bluff, we don't have to be afraid. ”

"Where am I afraid?" Jieli heard the situation clearly, and his heart was at peace.

Li Zhongwen rolled his eyes and said, "There are few soldiers in the Western Liang army outside the city, how can you strike a blow from the Khan?" I had the audacity to ask the Khan to send troops to attack them and teach them a lesson. ”

Jieli was a little hesitant, secretly thinking that you are stupid to be Lao Tzu? This trick of the Western Liang Army is called luring the enemy deep, and it has been used on Lao Tzu several times, if Lao Tzu does not remember his surname for a long time, it is really stupid to go home, the Western Liang Army sent people to lure the enemy, there must be an ambush not far away, Lao Tzu no matter what, this time will not be fooled. Just when he was thinking about how to excuse himself without hurting his face, Tang Jun arrived in a hurry and said loudly: "Taigu Gong, the big thing is not good." ”

Li Zhongwen's face sank, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Bing said: "As expected by Taigu Gong, the Western Liang Army is really a plan to lure the enemy, seeing that I can't wait for the troops, the soldiers have arrived in an endless stream, and so far, there are at least more than 10,000 troops outside the East City!" ”

Li Zhongwen was awe-inspiring in his heart, and secretly shouted pity. It turned out that thousands of people in the Western Liang army were beating drums and shouting outside the city in the early morning, he did suspect that the opponent was a suspicious strategy, plus the number of troops defending Taiyuan was only tens of thousands, and he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, it can be seen that the opponent reinforced to 10,000, he thought that the Western Liang army may be virtual and real, and beat the drums in the early morning, in fact, the army did not arrive, but used the hesitation of the Taiyuan defenders to force them to retreat into the city.

Looking at Jieli, seeing that his eyes were a little resentful when he looked at him, Li Zhongwen was secretly vigilant.

Jie Li said in his heart, your old boy has long known that the opponent is a plan to lure the enemy, and even persuaded me to send troops, his heart can be punished! If it was peaceful, Jieli might call on the cavalry to set foot on Taiyuan City, but the current situation is urgent, and he has no time to pay attention to Li Zhongwen. After a change of thought, he said to Gu Jilu: "Gather the soldiers and horses, we will send troops from the west of the city, go around in a circle, and then cut off the back road of the Western Liang army." ”

Li Zhongwen was overjoyed and said, "Then I wish the Khan a success." "In any case, as long as the Turkic soldiers and the Western Liang army fight, it will always be no harm to Taiyuan. Jieli didn't say a word, and Gu Jilu, a group of spies, and Gu all waited out of Taiyuan City, and the dust and smoke were everywhere, and the Turkic soldiers went out of the city in an endless stream. Li Zhongwen has clearly ordered the soldiers to strengthen the city's defenses and wait and see what happens.

But after an hour or two, a soldier hurriedly came to report, "Qi Taigu Gong, now the Western Liang army has gathered at least 30,000 troops, not only the east of the city is besieged by a large army, but the south of the city is also beginning to go down to the village to choke the intersection." ”

Li Zhongwen's heart sank, and he secretly thought that this time the Western Liang Army was really going to make a real move. The Western Liang army went down to the village in the south, that is, to cut off the connection between Taiyuan and Hedong, and prevent them from escaping south to Guanzhong.

"What is the situation of the Turks now?"

"They're gone seven or eight times out of ten."

"Is there a war in the East?" Li Zhongwen asked.

"Nope." The soldier shook his head and said: "When their army went out of the west of the city, they turned north, and I heard that ......" The soldier wanted to speak and stopped, Li Zhongwen asked urgently, "What did you hear?" ”

"Some soldiers who understand Turkic dialect say that the Turkic people say that the Khan ordered them to return north to Tianchi."

When Li Zhongwen heard this, he suddenly woke up, only to feel that his heart was hot, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he said in his heart: "Jieli turned out to be lying to himself, the Turks are gone, how can he defend Taiyuan City?" ’

* Jieli ran all the way, and now he has gone out of Taiyuan County and arrived at Loufu. Behind him, an army of more than 100,000 followed, making a pot of porridge as if it were a pot of porridge. Seeing the eastern sky, it was cloudy and heavy, and it had the taste of conquest, knowing that most of the Western Liang army was about to arrive at the city of Taiyuan, Jieli spit out heavily and scolded: "Li Zhongwen probably thinks he is very smart, and I don't know that I am not stupid." ”

Gu Jilu smiled and said: "The Khan's clever calculations are admired by his subordinates." ”

Jieli snorted coldly, led the troops to continue to run north, and waited until he arrived at Tianchi to temporarily set up camp and inquire about the movement. Tianchi is already in the northernmost part of Loufu County, and the Turkic soldiers have rushed out for hundreds of miles in one go, secretly thinking that they have no deep hatred with the Western Liang army, and it stands to reason that they should take care of Taiyuan first and will not come to pursue.

After dozens of miles of Tianchi, you will arrive in Mayi County, and then go north through Kaiyang, and you will soon be able to reach Dingxiang. Dingxiang is now a Turkic territory, and there are Turkic people guarding it, and Jieli didn't feel at ease until this time. It can be seen that there are only tens of thousands of nearly 300,000 troops left at the beginning, and the remnants are either separated or killed, and everyone has the word fright written on their faces, and they can't help but mourn in their hearts. Don't dare to be careless, when retreating, he ordered the Turkic soldiers to stay in Lou Funan to pay attention to the movements of the Western Liang army, and he seized the time to sleep well, planning to make a decision the next day.

The next day, I woke up, and the bad news was frequent, first of all, the Western Liang Army dispatched at least 100,000 troops this time, and Taiyuan City was besieged heavily, and the wind and rain were impenetrable. This time, Xiao Buyi obviously made up his mind to defeat Taiyuan. The surrounding counties of Taiyuan County are already full of the whereabouts of the Western Liang Army. The rangers did not dare to go south to investigate, only knew the news. Jieli didn't care about Tang Jun anymore, he only thought about how he would go next.

At noon, another cavalry turned around and reported that the Xiliang cavalry had appeared in Jingle County in the south of Loufunan!

Jieli was shocked when he heard this, and secretly thought that Jingle was not far from Tianchi, and the Western Liang army was so fast, it seemed that Tianchi was not safe. After recuperating his spirit overnight, he always felt frightened, and immediately set off from the village, and then retreated north. This time, I went directly to Mayi, and only then did I take a breath when I arrived in Dingxiang City.

This way to the north, I fled for more than 800 miles, and Gu Jilu said: "Khan, I think our army is as fast as the wind, even if the Western Liang army has wings, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with us." ”

Jieli also thought so, secretly thinking that the iron cavalry of the Western Liang Army might be able to reach it, but the infantry would not be able to catch up with his army anyway. If the Western Liang army only attacked with iron cavalry, there was nothing to fear. Seeing that the Turkic soldiers were running all the way, and now there are only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, turning the tooth tent like this is really shameless. He was ordered to rest and recuperate in Dingxiang for the time being, and wait for the defeated Turkic army to return to the north and gather.

Thinking that the mighty army has reached the point of desolation now, I really want to cry without tears.

There was nothing to say all night, and the second day Jieli woke up, only feeling sore muscles and bones, and was thinking that he would not run away no matter what, and he wanted to rest for a few days, and the bones were waiting for Tamul to come and say, "Qiyu Khan, the big thing is not good!" ”
