At the beginning, Khan's army attacked Youzhou. Facing the deserted Youzhou, he became more and more angry as he thought about it. He didn't know why the Central Plains reacted so quickly this time and actually evacuated all the people in advance.

However, this also shows that Youzhou does not have heavy troops, so Shibi Khan advanced quickly with great peace of mind. This is also in line with their characteristics, coming and going like the wind.

It was not until Yuyang that they stopped. With the army in hand, Khan immediately launched a fierce attack. Unfortunately, he met his opponents. Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanbei, and Zhang Zhongjian were all defending the city. After the Xue brothers, Zhang Zhongjian was behind the gate.

Having led troops in Liaodong for many years, he had great experience in attacking and defending cities. What's more, there was Su Dingfang who was well prepared for both offense and defense and was better at leading troops.

For two consecutive days, thousands of men and horses were lost under Yuyang City. Only then did Khan calm down. He also knew that the city in the Central Plains was difficult to conquer, so he asked his third brother Ashina, Dubi (Jieli Khan) to lead the army.

He sent 50,000 soldiers to defend Yuyang, build siege equipment and protect food at the same time. He also asked his generals to lead the leader of the Tiele tribe, Qibi Heli, and his sons Ashina and Shibobi to lead a group respectively.

Thousands of cavalrymen plundered Youzhou; he himself led others and an army of 220,000 people to attack Youzhou City. He believed that since Yuyang had a heavy army, Youzhou must be unprepared.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and they arrived at the gate of Youzhou City. In Youzhou, they were beaten to death again. Although Luo Yi only had 8,000 old soldiers, he recruited 10,000 young men in advance, and the original people of Youzhou City came to help.

? It is very easy to defend a strong city for a short period of time.

Of course the Khan would not be so stupid as to attack the city with cavalry? Seeing that the attack failed and left hundreds of corpses behind, he retreated.

He finally understood that Youzhou had already been on guard. No siege equipment was needed? It was impossible to take it down, so he asked people to inquire about the surrounding news and made siege equipment at the same time.

………

Because Liu Wuzhou was defeated, the generals who went to attack Taiyuan were either killed in battle? Or were they captured? For a while, Yanmen Pass did not have a qualified general. Li Jing asked people to pretend to be defeated, sneak into the pass, and then cooperate inside and outside? Yanmen Pass was easily taken by Li Jing

Down.

Li Jing did not go north immediately, but immediately repeated his old trick? He used Liu Wuzhou's surrendered soldiers to pretend to transport grain, and divided his troops with Qin Qiong to attack?

Beiloukou, Dashikou, Shikou, Malankou, Ruyuekou, Huyukou and other eighteen passes, Yanmen Pass is completely in your hands? Then divide the troops? Then go north to the grassland with Luo Cheng.

After Qin Qiong captured Yanmen Pass? Then he marched forward. Now in the hands of Liu Wuzhou, there are only three counties of Shanwu, Pingcheng, and Mayi. The three counties are horns with each other. From the captives, he learned that the guard of Shanwu was Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law.

Yuan Junzhang and general Gao Manzheng guard Pingcheng.

Looking at the general who was looking for the prime minister next to him, Liu Wuzhou felt bitter. Because Zou Yu had captured Taiyuan in time, Liu Wuzhou had never thought of proclaiming himself emperor, and it was too late to proclaim himself emperor. Now he calls himself the prefect.

"General Xun, now the imperial troops have occupied Yanmen Pass and are heading towards Mayi. What should we do?" Liu Wuzhou asked in fear.

Xun Xiang was very strategic, but he still felt very helpless about the current situation. After thinking about it, he suggested: "The prefect should ask General Shanwuyuan Junzhang and General Heisei Gaomanzheng to lead troops to return as soon as possible for reinforcements."

"In this case, Shanwu and Pingcheng will be surrendered. Moreover, Mayi has become an isolated city." Liu Wuzhou frowned and said.

"The most important thing at the moment is to defeat the imperial soldiers and horses. If we cannot defeat them, everything is empty talk. After the defeat, let alone Shan Wu, it is not impossible to capture Taiyuan again in Pingcheng." Xun Xiang advised.

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming fiercely, can we defeat them?" After all, he was born as a minor official. Facing a large army, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased. Before, he had nothing, so he was naturally unafraid. Now that he is used to being a local emperor, Liu Wuzhou can't help but look forward and backward.

,do not know what to do.

"I heard that General Zhengxi issued an order to kill the Turks. Although he said that bandits and bandits who are willing to kill the Turks will not be punished, but you, the governor, welcome the Turks..." Xun Xiang said with a frown.

Although Xiang Xun hadn't finished speaking, Liu Wuzhou still understood what he meant, and Zou Changfeng would not let him go.

"This... this... small town of Mayi, how can we defend it? It is better to flee to Shuozhou and seek refuge in Liangshidu." Liu Wuzhou's expression changed.

Xun Xiang looked at Liu Wuzhou's bearish appearance and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He didn't expect that the originally high-spirited person would become like this in a short period of time, but now is not the time to think about other things. After all, no one knows that the people in the Zhengdong General's Mansion are like this.

Will you let yourself go?

"If you abandon the city and flee now, you will definitely not be able to take many troops with you. Even if you go to Liang Shidu, you will definitely not be taken seriously. Why not fight first. If you win, it is best. Even if you lose, you can still go to the Turks' territory.

." Xunxiang suggested.

"That's right, let's fight first. Even if we can't beat him, we can't take advantage of others." Liu Wuzhou said fiercely.

Seeing Liu Wuzhou looking like he couldn't afford to lose, Xun Xiang couldn't help but frown, thinking that he couldn't be reused for all his talents, but Liu Wuzhou used his brother-in-law, and his good friend Yuchi Jingde was also reused because of Song Jin.

.I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust towards Liu Wuzhou.

"But where should I go?" Xunxiang thought sadly in his heart. He didn't like the Turks. He suggested that Liu Wuzhou go. It was just a subordinate's instinct, and he didn't like it. In his opinion, Master Liang was no better.

How many.

"The prefect can ask the Turks to send troops to help again. After all, if Yanmen Pass is lost, they will also have one less gateway to invade the Central Plains." Xun Xiang suggested again.

"The Turks have just been defeated, and the Khan has led his troops to attack Youzhou. Where will the manpower come from to support us?" Liu Wuzhou shook his head and said.

"The only ones who failed were the Huihe people. There are many tribes on the grassland. It shouldn't be a problem to spare some manpower. Even if they don't send troops, they can order all the Liang divisions to come to help." Xun Xiang explained.

"Yes! Yes! You can ask Liang Division of Shuozhou to send troops to help. We just need to hold on." Liu Wuzhou nodded repeatedly and said happily.

"Prefect, if you ask someone to invite you, Division Liang will definitely not send troops. You will have to ask the Turks to come forward." Xun Xiang reminded.

"Yes! I'll do as you say!" Liu Wuzhou, who was in a state of confusion, calmed down and nodded in agreement.

Many people must have never heard of Xun Xiang. His military power was comparable to that of Yuchi Jingde. In the original history, the Tang army commanders Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian and Liu Shirang were all defeated by Yuchi Jingde.

I have been captured in search of a phase.

Liu Wuzhou followed the advice of the prime minister and quickly ordered his brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng to abandon Shanwu and lead troops back to Pingcheng for reinforcements. On the one hand, he sent people to the grassland to ask his Turkic godfather for help; on the other hand, he organized the army to prepare for war and waited for Qin Qiong.
