Since Luo Yi launched a surprise attack ten days ago, Dou Jiande has been paying close attention to the development of the situation in Youzhou, he has stationed 100,000 troops in the north of Hejian County, and when Yang Yuanqing's army entered Zhuo County, he also suddenly sent troops to attack Zhuo County from the south

It stands to reason that Yang Yuanqing attacked Zhuo County on a large scale, making Shanggu County empty, he should wave his army to march into Shanggu County, which would be more effective, but in that case, his army would dominate and become the main enemy of the Sui army, which was not what he expected, but more importantly, he did not come to the rescue, Luo Yi and Song Zheng disappeared, and there is no news so far, making him and Luo Yi have a grudge

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, Dou Jiande coveted the five thousand armored cavalry of the Youzhou army for a long time, if he could get these five thousand heavy armored cavalry, why was he afraid of Sui and Tang

In fact, the fundamental purpose of his promise to form an alliance with Youzhou is this, Luo Yi doesn't care whether he lives or dies, even if Luo Yi is destroyed, as long as the five thousand heavy armored cavalry belong to him, then he can deal with the Sui army independently, but it is a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Song Zhengben's accidental disappearance shattered his dream

Dou Jiande has been waiting for the opportunity, until the Sui army and Youzhou elite soldiers fought in Zhuo County, he immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and immediately led an army of 100,000 to kill Zhuo County and pounce on Zhuo County

The army of 100,000 was overwhelming, stretching for more than ten miles, the army had crossed the Juma River, and it was only more than forty miles away from Zhuoxian County, but at this time the army slowed down the pace of the attack, Dou Jiande got two pieces of information in a row, the Sui army withdrew to Laishui County to the west, and the 30,000 reinforcements from Youzhou City had passed Liangxiang County, and it was only forty or fifty miles away from Zhuo County

Dou Jiande looked at the sky, it was almost dusk, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, whether to surround Zhuojun first and then send reinforcements, or wait for the reinforcements to enter the city, and then surround them together, and then increase troops to capture Youzhou City, which only has 10,000 defenders

Dou Jiande knew very well in his heart that Luo Yi recruited more than 40,000 recruits some time ago, so that his strength reached 75,000 people, at present, Xue Wanjun led 10,000 defenders, and he divided 30,000 troops to rescue Zhuo County, Yuyang County and Anle County, and then divided 5,000 troops to garrison 5,000 people, then the army of Youzhou City was only 10,000 people, and Gao Kaidao gave up Beiping County and withdrew to Liaodong, unable to support Youzhou like last time, this is an excellent opportunity to seize Youzhou City

It's just that..... There is also a fierce Yang Yuanqing next to him, he will let himself seize Youzhou City, it is impossible, he just withdrew his troops to Laishui, dozens of miles away, and he can kill him back at any time

Dou Jiande sighed, he was very jealous, Yang Yuanqing was very afraid that he would not be able to eat mutton, but he would make a commotion, he had to temporarily give up his ambition to seize Youzhou City, thinking of this, Dou Jiande resolutely ordered: The whole army will speed up the march and surround Zhuoxian County after an hour

The 100,000 army accelerated abruptly, Dou Jiande personally led 30,000 cavalry to Zhuo County, galloping towards Zhuo County, an hour later, the sky was dark, Dou Jiande's 100,000 army arrived in Zhuo County, Zhuo County was surrounded by a large camp, surrounded by the county

The sky has been dark, the Great Plain of Jizhong is silent, the population of Zhuo County is mainly concentrated near Youzhou City, and the southern part is sparsely populated, Zhuo County is even more because of the ravages of Wei Dao'er, and the population is cut off, and the villages are flooded by weeds, leaving only ruins and broken walls

About fifteen miles northeast of Zhuo County, there was a military camp outside Ping'an Town, which was the 30,000 reinforcements led by Luo Yi himself, the 30,000 reinforcements were mainly infantry, and the speed was not fast, although they were desperately hurrying, it was still a step too late, Zhuo County was already surrounded by Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops

This accident was really unexpected by Luo Yi, he initially thought that Dou Jiande was here to rescue him, but he didn't expect Dou Jiande to have bad intentions and forced back the Sui army, and he actually directly surrounded Zhuoxian County, Luo Yi suddenly realized that he was not only an enemy of Yang Yuanqing, but also Dou Jiande, a poisonous snake, lying sideways, which made Luo Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if he formed an alliance with Dou Jiande, wouldn't this be to lure the snake into the room

Luo Yi hesitated, he didn't dare to continue to move forward, he thought of Youzhou City, there were only 10,000 garrisons in the city, if Dou Jiande surrounded himself and increased troops to the north, Youzhou City would be in danger

Pass my order, and order Xue Wanjun's troops to quickly withdraw to Youzhou City to defend and abandon the military capital

Since Yang Yuanqing's army has been killed in Zhuo County, there is no point in defending the capital of the army

The night was already very deep, and under the starry sky, Luo Yi stood in front of the big tent and stared at the direction of Zhuoxian for a long time, his eyes were full of anxiety

Father is too late to rest, the eldest son Luo Cheng appeared behind him at some point, his face was full of concern for his father

Luo Yi sighed, the situation is grim, I can't sleep

Father.....

Luo Cheng bit his lip and wanted to speak again and again, Luo Yi looked back at him strangely, what do you want to say

What the child means is that we can talk to Yang Yuanqing

What to talk about

Talking about the conditions, we gave Youzhou to him, and he allowed us to bring some soldiers back to Guanzhong

Luo Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, you think it is too simple, how could Yang Yuanqing allow us to lead troops across the border, Cheng'er, this is absolutely impossible

Then we don't want soldiers, that is, our family crossed the border, didn't the Sui and Tang dynasties sign a settlement agreement, if the Tang Dynasty put forward a request to let us cross, I think Yang Yuanqing will definitely agree

What if he promised

A trace of sadness flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, what Li Yuan wanted was just Youzhou, what use did I, the head of the light pole, have to use, or a king with a different surname, could he tolerate me

Luo Cheng wanted to say more, but Luo Yi pressed his son's shoulder, his eyes were full of love for his son, and he said softly: I will not go anywhere, I will live and die with Youzhou, only you and Xin'er, I can not rest assured, you go back to Youzhou City overnight, return to your hometown with your younger brother, Xiangyang is dormant, waiting for the situation in the world to become clear soon, you want to be a rich man, whatever you want

Luo Cheng shook his head firmly, the child is not leaving, the child wants to accompany his father

scoundrel

Luo Yi suddenly turned his face, he grabbed his son's collar, looked at him angrily, and said: I am nearly fifty years old, what else can I remember, you are my bloodline, and the blood of the Luo family, what if you die, what will happen to the Luo family

My brother can go, but I won't go, Luo Cheng still said firmly

You...... Luo Yi suddenly slapped his son in a rage, pointed at him and shouted: Rebel, do you dare not listen to me

Luo Cheng knelt down in front of his father and said with tears: The child can listen to his father for anything, but this is the only thing that the child can't obey

Luo Yi looked at his son blankly, and saw a kind of man's courage and responsibility in his eyes, and after a while, Luo Yi sighed with emotion, yes, so, I Luo Yi is not satisfied

Yang Yuanqing's 50,000 army did not retreat from Laishui, when he was halfway through Laishui, he found something unreasonable, why didn't Dou Jiande directly attack Yi County, Yi County only had 5,000 Sui troops to guard, Dou Jiande had 100,000 troops, he could completely divide his troops to block himself in Laishui County, and then attack Yi County in a big way, once Yi County was breached, then a large number of materials would be destroyed, once his army could successfully withdraw to Hengshan County, then this time the Hebei Campaign was a complete failure

This is a major flaw, he doesn't believe that Dou Jiande will not think of this, and ran to Zhuo County to attack him, Yang Yuanqing immediately keenly realized that maybe Dou Jiande's true intentions may not be himself, only in this way can he explain why he did not attack Yi County

Yang Yuanqing's army temporarily stayed on the east bank of Laishui, only thirty miles away from Zhuo County, and the army was not stationed in camp, but was waiting for the order of the commander Yang Yuanqing, while Yang Yuanqing was patiently waiting for the news of the scouts

Yang Yuanqing was talking to several generals in the big tent, and suddenly there was a sound of running outside, and a personal soldier ran to the door of the big tent and said: Qiqi is in charge of Zhuo County, there is urgent news

say

Yang Yuanqing stopped talking with the generals, Qin Qiong, Xie Yingdeng and the others also turned their attention, they were also extremely concerned about the situation of Dou Jiande's 100,000 army

Scout information: Dou Jiande's army of 10,000 has surrounded Zhuo County, and Luo Yi has led 30,000 reinforcements to Zhuo County, and he is stationed fifteen miles away from the county seat

He's so quick with his hands and feet

Yang Yuanqing sneered slightly, and said to everyone: Sure enough, as I expected, Dou Jiande was unwilling to eat dry rice and jumped out to grab vegetables, I guess he also took a fancy to Luo Yi's heavy armored iron horse, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the good idea to fight

Boss, what are we going to do?

Qin Qiong was a little worried: The Youzhou army has only 20,000 people in Zhuoxian County, once Dou Jiande's army rushes through the city, the five thousand heavy armored iron cavalry will really belong to him

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, thinking about countermeasures, Dou Jiande's addition made the situation very complicated, now all three parties are enemies, each party wants to get the most benefits in the tripartite game, and they all hope that their side will become a fisherman, Dou Jiande could actually become the biggest fisherman, but he was worried that the Sui army would take away the heavy armor and iron cavalry, so he jumped out impatiently, but made the Sui army a fisherman

Yang Yuanqing is now thinking about how to be this fisherman, neither can he let Dou Jiande's 'crane' eat Luo Yi's 'mussel', nor can he make a move to make the crane fly and escape too early, so grasp this degree

At this time, Wang Junkuo, who had been silent, said: Will Dou Jiande not only want to eat five thousand heavily armored cavalry, but also take advantage of the emptiness of Youzhou to increase troops and swallow Youzhou

Next to Xie Yingdeng shook his head, Youzhou may not be empty, since our army has been killed in Zhuo County, then the defense army is of no significance, Luo Yi will definitely transfer back Xue Wanjun's 10,000 troops to defend Youzhou City, so that Youzhou City has 20,000 people to defend the city, and Dou Jiande can't attack it for a while, with Youzhou City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack

Yang Yuanqing saw Qin Qiong thoughtfully, so he smiled and asked: What does Shubao think

Qin Qiong shook his head and said with a wry smile: It's just a little immature idea, can you let Luo Shixin attack Hejian County and force Dou Jiande to withdraw his troops

In fact, the purpose of seizing Hengshan County was to contain Dou Jiande's army from the flank, and when he went north to support Luo Yi and Qin Qiong, everyone laughed knowingly

Not only must Dou Jiande's army be forced back, but he must be allowed to lose his feathers, and Boling County will be used as his compensation for us

When Yang Yuanqing said this, he immediately ordered: Pass my order, and the army will return to Zhuo County and camp ten miles away from Zhuo County
