The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at the top of Weizeguan City got a chance to breathe.
After the Turks retreated, Li Zhongwen showed no trace of joy on his face, "Your Highness, we have even used our last resort. If the Turks come back again, we can only hold on to the end."
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Zhongwen and smiled indifferently: "If you really can't defend it anymore, then you won't defend it."
Li Zhongwen looked at Li Yuanji in shock.
Li Yuanji said slowly: "If we really can't hold it anymore, we will retreat to Jingxing Pass. If we want to fight the Turks, we should also fight the Turks at Jingxing Pass."
Li Zhongwen's mind was a little confused for a while.
After sorting it out for a long time, I understood what Li Yuanji wanted to do.
"What your Highness means is to let go of Weize Pass and defend Jingxing Pass. Even if the Turks capture Weize Pass and cannot remove Jingxing Pass, they will not be able to move south with confidence?"
Li Zhongwen asked with some shock.
If Weize Pass really cannot be defended, this might be a good idea.
Weize Pass was breached, and the Turks could march straight in and head south.
But before driving straight south, the Turks will definitely pull out the nail in Jingxing Pass.
Otherwise, the Turks would not be able to go south with peace of mind.
If the Turks ignored Jingxing Pass and simply broke through Weize Pass and left, the Tang soldiers in Jingxing Pass would take the opportunity to fight out and retake Weize Pass, cutting off the Turks' retreat.
Once Li Xiuning and Li Shimin arrived with reinforcements, the Turks would become dogs behind closed doors.
Although the Turks have a chance to break through Weize Pass again and escape, during this period, the Turks will pay a heavy price under the attack of Li Xiuning and Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Li Zhongwen immediately said: "But the Turks will most likely send a group of troops to surround Jingxing Pass and not give us a chance to break out of Jingxing Pass."
Li Yuanji was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Zhongwen and said, "I will act as a vanguard and lead the soldiers to charge into the formation."
Li Zhongwen's eyes suddenly widened, and the worry in his heart disappeared.
With the bravery Li Yuanji showed last night, if he were to lead his soldiers in a charge, I'm afraid no one would be able to stop him.
That is to say, Li Yuanji's status was too high, no one dared to let him take risks, and no one dared to let him lead the army to charge.
Otherwise, Li Zhongwen would have tried to get Li Yuanji to lead his army out of Jingxing Pass and attack the Turks from the flank.
"Since Your Highness is ready to lead the soldiers to charge into battle, I have nothing to say."
Li Zhongwen said seriously.
Li Yuanji nodded and asked Li Zhongwen to take care of the soldiers and let them have a good rest.
The fire outside Weize Pass burned until the afternoon and was not extinguished.
In the evening, the Turks organized their troops and horses, stepped on the ground that was still hot to their feet, and fought towards Weize Pass again.
The soldiers at Weizeguan had had enough rest and had enough energy to continue fighting against the Turks.
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to Weize Pass, Liang Luoren took advantage of the darkness and quietly went to the place where Xie Shufang was being held with a group of confidants.
After Liang Luoren got rid of the Turks who were guarding Xie Shufang, he appeared in front of Xie Shufang and said with a complicated expression: "I hope that you and His Highness the King of Qi behind you can keep their word and save me, Liang, when I am desperate.
His life."
After Xie Shufang was stunned for a short time, he smiled and said: "My Highness and I have always been consistent in our words."
Liang Luoren curled his lips.
He didn't know whether Xie Shufang kept his word, but Li Yuanji, the King of Qi in the Tang Dynasty behind Xie Shufang, was not a stickler for his word.
The reason why he appeared in front of Xie Shufang was not to seek repayment from Xie Shufang and Li Yuanji, the Tang Dynasty King behind Xie Shufang.
He just wanted to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. If the Liang family were in trouble in the future, they could use this opportunity to talk to some people who could make the decision in the Tang Dynasty.
"I have helped you knock out the guards at the door. After you go out later, send them on their way, pretending that the guards were lax and you killed them.
I ordered someone to prepare a fast horse and some dry food for you, which is behind the big tent.
After you ride it for a while, escape to the northeast.
There are the fewest Turks in the northeast, so you should be able to escape."
Liang Luoren quickly explained to Xie Shufang. After the explanation, he untied the rope that bound Xie Shufang and walked quickly outside the tent.
Xie Shufang nodded thoughtfully, said nothing, and followed Liang Luoren and his party out of the tent.
Wait until Liang Luoren and his party are ready to leave.
Xie Shufang suddenly spoke, "Where is Tuli being imprisoned by Jieli? Is there any possibility of assassination? Where are the Turks' grain and grass stored? Why didn't I see it in the camp?"
Liang Luoren was shocked when he heard Xie Shufang's words.
Liang Luoren glanced around cautiously, then approached Uncle Xie and growled: "Are you crazy? It's good that you can escape alone. You still want to find Tuli, and you dare to worry about the Turks."
Food camp!"
Xie Shufang looked at Liang Luoren with bright eyes and said, "Why don't I dare to find Tu Li? Not only do I want to find Tu Li, you also want to find Tu Li, right?"
Liang Luoren gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Xie Shufang added: "I can see very clearly that you and your brother lived a miserable life at the hands of the Turks. Jieli took you as his subordinates and shouted at you.
Tuli is even more outrageous. His attitude toward you is no different from that of Manu.
Why did you and your brother start the uprising? Was it to serve as subordinates or slaves to others?
When you look at Tu Li, there is clearly hatred in your eyes, why are you still kneeling at his feet and listening to his orders?"
Liang Luoren glared at Xie Shufang fiercely.
He felt he might have done something wrong.
He shouldn't have listened to Xie Shufang's tricks and come here to have a good relationship with Xie Shufang.
Now Xie Shufang is obviously threatening him to cause a big fuss in the Turkic camp.
If he obeys, he will betray his brother, and his brother will definitely die; if he doesn't obey, he may die, and his brother may also be in danger.
Xie Shufang may have been waiting for the Turks' attention to be drawn to Weize Pass, or he may have been waiting for his appearance.
Liang Luoren made a decision almost instantly. He winked at his opponent's confidant and decided to make up for his mistake.
Xie Shufang retreated to one side of the tent before they could surround him.
One of Liang Luoren's confidants suddenly pounced on Xie Shufang, and was kicked in the stomach by Xie Shufang. He knelt on the ground like a shrimp, curled up together, and did not dare to scream.
Xie Shufang stared at Liang Luoren with a bright smile and said: "Liang Luoren, I am the first commander of the Qi Palace. These few people under you cannot stop me."
Liang Luoren gritted his teeth angrily and rushed towards Xie Shufang with all his confidants.
Xie Shufang retreated and said: "You have only one way now, and that is to take your people and follow me. There is one thing I haven't told Jie Li, but I can tell you.
That is Liu Heitai, who you had high hopes for, has been killed by Su Dingfang, the commander of Zuosan Tongjun Palace of Prince Qi's Palace.
Even if you break through Weize Pass, you will not be able to do anything except plunder some people, food, and money."
Liang Luoren was shocked and lost his voice: "Liu Heitai is dead? How is that possible?"
Liang Luoren couldn't believe it, and couldn't believe that Liu Heitai was actually dead.
How could Liu Heitai die?
How could Liu Heitai die?
"Nothing is impossible. Liu Heitai has discussed with you and will lead three thousand remaining troops in Weize Pass to cooperate with you in capturing Weize Pass.
However, Liu Heitai lost his troops and generals in Mingzhou, and he did not have many capable men available.
My Highness only dispatched more than a thousand cavalry, and Liu Heita was killed and defeated.
Just when you were attacking Weize Pass last night, our troops from the Zuosan Tongjun Palace of Prince Qi pursued Liu Heitai for more than 30 miles, and finally killed Liu Heitai on his horse.
Now, Liu Heitai's head is kept in Weize Pass."
Xie Shufang stepped back as he spoke. It didn't take long for him to go around the back of the camp and see the horse Liang Luoren had prepared for him.
There was also a bag of dry food on the horse's back, a bow, a pot of arrows, and a scimitar commonly used by the Turks.
Xie Shufang got on his horse, landed firmly on its back, and shouted at Liang Luoren: "Liang Luoren, you don't have time to think about it anymore. I didn't move any of the Turks guarding me.
You can kill them and put the blame on me, but I won’t admit it.”
Liang Luoren came back to his senses from the news that Liu Heitai was dead, and stared at Xie Shufang sitting on the horse, furious to the extreme, "I saved your life, but you want to retaliate for kindness?!"
Xie Shufang tightened the horse's reins and shouted without hesitation, "I am saving you from the fire pit!"
After saying this, before Liang Luoren could speak again, Xie Shufang urged his horse and rushed out.
Although Liang Luoren did not tell Xie Shufang where Tuli was.
But the wolf-headed shawl in front of Tuliya tent is very conspicuous.
Xie Shufang has seen Jie Li's wolf-headed robe and Liang Shidu's wolf-headed robe. The remaining one that he has not seen must be Tuli's wolf-headed robe.
Regardless of whether Tuli is within his own tent or not, as long as Xie Shufang rushes to Tuli's tent and makes a fuss, the Turkic camp will also follow suit.
Tu Li had already been tortured to the point of being furious, and then he caused a scene of assassinating the king and killing the driver.
It would be strange if Tu Li could still be safely detained by Jie Li.
"who?!"
The sound of Xie Shufang's horse galloping attracted the Turks who were guarding the camp.
Xie Shufang bent his bow and arrow and shot a Turk to death. Then he quickly rushed to the side of another Turk and killed him with a knife.
Xie Shufang raised his head and shouted while reaping the lives of the Turks.
He spoke with a prairie accent.
Words like 'Jieli wants to kill Tuli', 'Tuli wants to kill Jieli', 'Datou Khan of the Western Turks led his army to surprise the Longting of the Eastern Turks', kept coming out of his mouth.
