Dubi would never have thought that although his sudden division of troops caught Pei Renji off guard, but in Lanzhou Jincheng, there were a group of high-end strategists such as Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, etc., although they did not believe in their force, but their wisdom was the top in this era, and they soon formulated a variety of strategies, these strategies were soon sent to the northwest land, and the northwest land was boiling instantly, and the head of a Turkic person could have fifty guan of money, not only those Hu people, Even the Han people were shocked by such a huge amount of money.

For a time, the various tribes of the Hu people gathered together again, or thirty or fifty people, or hundreds, all in the tribe unit, cooperating with each other, and soon rushed to Zhangye and Wuwei counties, and launched an attack on the Turks, who were not only fighting for the northwest, but also for themselves. In less than half a month, good news came from Jincheng, and from time to time Turks were killed. Although the 50,000 army of the Turks was a lot, in the face of the Hu people who were all over the mountains, the 50,000 army was still much less.

"Abominable, abominable, Han hateful." He was very annoyed, his army had suffered huge losses recently, since he left Wuwei, he had killed some Han people, robbed some property and population, but this place in the northwest was too desolate, even if the army was very powerful, but in this place, it was destined to not gain much, and when he decided to abandon the city along the way and directly attack Li Xin's Lanzhou Jincheng, he suddenly found that there was a big problem with his back road, not only the grain road was harassed, but even when he slept at night, it was the same, On both sides of the road, or between the mountainsides, there are cold arrows, although the loss is not large, but the morale of the army has been hit, and this is the most important thing. When those sentry scouts explored the road in front, they were still three or five at first, and then a dozen or so were not safe to go out together, which shows that at this time, the Turkic head had a huge attraction to the Hu people.

"Li Xin, this is trying to make it difficult for us to move an inch in the northwest." Wang Lin also felt regret on the side, the northwest is not the Central Plains in the end, and it may be difficult to succeed if he wants to use the trick to deal with the Central Plains people against Li Xin, and now the army is trapped in the northwest, neither advancing nor retreating, even Wang Lin doesn't know what to do.

"And a soldier behind it. But a few thousand people are actually thinking of attacking my grain channel. "Aggressive eyes flickered, and there was even a hint of panic, although the loss of the 50,000 army was very small, but so far there has not been a frontal battle with the enemy, and the morale of the army is like this, which makes him faintly regret, he should not take the initiative to come to the northwest, and now I don't know what to do?

"Your Royal Highness. We should withdraw our troops now. Wang Lin suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid we have been fooled." ”

"Why is that?" Dumbfounded. Said with some surprise.

"How many soldiers does Li Xin have? According to intelligence, Li Xin had 100,000 soldiers and horses. How many soldiers and horses does he have in Zhangye? I'm afraid there aren't 100,000 men, otherwise we can divide our troops. They could have divided their troops, but they only sent 5,000 men. If Li Xin has an army of 100,000, he still needs to send only 5,000 people? I'm afraid it's 50,000. Your Royal Highness, that's the problem? He has enough people, so why let the common people below participate? ”

"You mean to say that Li Xin still has the remaining soldiers and horses?" Dubi said a little nervously. His body trembled, his face was pale, and there was a look of nervousness in his eyes. If it is really as Wang Lin said, what he is about to face will be a fatal blow, and his army will be attacked from both sides.

"There must still be, at least twenty or thirty thousand troops." Wang Lin also looked nervous, he felt frightened, felt remorseful, and prided himself to be smart, but now he knew that there were still many people who were smarter than him. In front of him, the army was not only attacked and harassed by the people of Liangzhou, but even the army was trapped in Liangzhou.

"Sir, what now?" Dubi was silent for a while before he said softly.

"Withdraw, I believe that at this time Li Xin still doesn't know that we have discovered this situation, we are secretly withdrawing our troops now, presumably Li Xin has not had time to attack us." Wang Lin said in a low voice: "Only at this time can we withdraw, otherwise, when the opponent's soldiers and horses press up, we won't be able to leave if we want to." ”

"Alright, let's go now." Du Bi also gritted his teeth and said: "We suffered a loss this time, Li Xin will not have such good luck next time, and Li Yuan, if it wasn't for Li Yuan picking up on the side this time, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss." "Blood is dripping from his heart, the loss of soldiers and horses is secondary, and the key is that his reputation among the Turks will be hit. You must know that on the steppe, the position of the Great Khan is not necessarily inherited by the son of the Great Khan, as the younger brother of Shibi Khan, he is also qualified, and his failure this time will definitely make the major tribes of the steppe look down on him.

This qiē was brought by the hateful Li Yuan, if it weren't for him, how could the Turks lead a large army to invade Liangzhou, how could they have been designed by Li Xin, how could they have fallen to such a point. He decided to take revenge on Li Yuan.

"Mr. Wang, no matter whether we can escape Li Xin this time or not, and how many soldiers and horses we lose, our next target must be to deal with Li Yuan. If it weren't for Li Yuan, how could we Turks lose so many warriors? He said viciously.

"Naturally." Wang Lin sighed, the Turks failed here, in order to recover the losses, they will definitely use troops to another place, Liangzhou is vast, the population is sparse, Li Xinjian is clear, the Turks are on an expedition, the loss of property is a trivial matter, the key is that there are still a lot of people who have died, if he does not make up for it from another aspect, I am afraid that even if he returns to the grassland, the Turks will not trust him, only by winning a battle, can he redeem his prestige.

"Then we'll go back to the army now." Thinking of how to recover his losses, a trace of worry disappeared in his heart, although his army did not lose much after attacking Zhangye and being harassed by the major tribes in Liangzhou, 100,000 cavalry was enough to shock the major forces in the Central Plains. It seemed that he had seen the scene of Li Yuan surrendering at his feet.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was not easy for the Turkic soldiers to attack, and it was not easy to retreat, not to mention that the army was attacked by the Hu people along the way, and the grain road was even more hit, outside Zhangye City, Pei Yuanqing led the cavalry to gallop on the land of Liangzhou, and a blow must be hit, and after the attack, he immediately retreated, no matter what the result of the attack was, although he did not kill many people, but the blow to the Dubi was still very big.

"Father, the Turks have returned, what's going on?" Pei Yuanqing's silver armor had already turned gray, the wind and sand were stained with blood, and there was a foul smell all over his body, but Pei Yuanqing didn't take it to heart, but said a little nervously.

"I'm afraid the Turks have discovered something." Pei Renji hesitated for a while and said. Lanzhou Jincheng's qiē move did not hide from Pei Renji, for Jincheng's rapid response, Pei Renji still admires Jincheng's rapid response, to be able to make such a reaction in such a short period of time, it is definitely a test of the heads of those upper-level people in Jincheng.

But for Pei Renji, whether Li Jing, who was far away on the grassland, was ready or not, Pei Renji didn't know. He could only hope that Li Jing had blocked the route for the return of the Turkic army, so that the army would not attack in vain, otherwise, the northwest army would also suffer heavy losses.

"What is my father going to do?" Pei Yuanqing said nervously.

"Hold him back." Pei Renji said without thinking about it: "The harder we fight on our side, the greater the opportunity on the general's side, the easier it will be to fight, and the less losses we will lose in the northwest." ”

"Hehe, if the Turks want to deal with us, then they will have to pay the price." Pei Xingjian's face was cold, although he did not follow Pei Yuanqing to harass the Turks during this time, but he still knew the evil deeds of the Turks, as a Central Plains person, he was eager to kill all the enemies outside the city.

"If you want to escape, you have to ask if we can agree." Pei Renji snorted coldly and said: "Let all the catapults and rolling stones in the city be moved, and the cavalry will go out of the battle, with their backs to the city wall, and we will retreat if the enemy advances, and we will pursue and attack the way back when the enemy retreats." See if the Turks have wings. ”

Du Bi led the army back to the camp under Zhangye City, and the news he got made him breathe a sigh of relief, because until yesterday, there was still grain and grass coming, which at least can show that Li Jing's army did not copy his own back road, but he was not so relieved, if he wanted to copy his back road, it must be a detour from a long distance, and it is possible that he did not arrive at this time, but who knows if it will be blocked tomorrow. Under Zhangye City, he didn't want to stay for a day. It's better to return in vain than to lose your troops!

"The army immediately packed up and returned to the grassland." Dubi soon issued the order. It's just that he obviously misestimated the wisdom of the people of the Central Plains, and there was a little movement in the military camp here, and Pei Renji quickly noticed it. He ordered Pei Xingjian to defend the city, and he and Pei Yuanqing led 10,000 cavalry out of the city to fight.

For a time, the sound of war drums under Zhangye City shook the four fields, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, and Pei Renji, who had been cowering in Zhangye City, killed for the first time, and actually challenged the 100,000 Turkic army.

"Damn, shameless Central Plains." When he first came to Zhangye, in order to capture Zhangye County, he kept challenging Pei Renji, but Pei Renji was like a turtle, he just shrank in the city and didn't come out, waiting for the Turks to attack, so that the Turks suffered heavy casualties. The forced aggressive had to move to the interior of Liangzhou, and now that he was leaving, Pei Renji actually came to challenge himself, how not to make the aggressive angry. (To be continued......)
