Weize Pass guards the famous Yanzhao Ancient Road, the ancient road outside the Guan, winding and undulating, by the mountains and rivers, very dangerous. The city is majestic and solid, condescending, magnificent, there is a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the trend. However, when Liu Wuzhou invaded the Taiyuan Basin from Baipiguan, this Xiongguan fortified city lost its strategic significance for Liu Wuzhou.
With the danger of Weize Pass and the solidity of Weize Pass, if you want to storm such a pass, you must sacrifice at least 350,000 horses. Liu Wuzhou naturally would not consume tens of thousands of his horses for such a useless pass. What's more, at this time, it is still Li Xiuning who defends Weize Pass, even if Liu Wuzhou has the heart to fight for tens of thousands of casualties, he may not be able to successfully take Weize Pass.
However, just when Liu Wuzhou was ready to ignore Wei Ze. An unexpected situation caught Liu Wuzhou off guard.
However, there were more than 100,000 Turks who invaded the Taiyuan Basin. Although Liu Wuzhou was the Pingyang Khan of the Turkic Khanate, he belonged to the Khan level of high-ranking officials. However, no one among the Turks took him seriously. The 39th Taiyuan Basin was captured by the Turks, and although Liu Wuzhou got the 39 cities of Li Tang, he also got nearly 100,000 people who were waiting to be fed.
As long as the Chinese people have a bite to eat, they will do their duty to obey the people. They don't care who is the emperor at the head, and they don't care if the emperor's surname is Li or Liu. But when they don't have even the last ration, they will definitely rebel.
After getting Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou found that he was sitting on a volcano that was about to erupt. He has no way to get food for these people now, and when these people eat up the last bit of food in their hands, they will definitely take risks. Liu Wuzhou himself was coerced into rebellion by the hungry people, so he naturally knew this problem.
As a result, Wei Zeguan became very important at this time. A steep pass can be used as a flesh grinder, as long as these dozens of hungry people are consumed under the city of Weize Pass, Liu Wuzhou himself will be safe.
For Liu Wuzhou, the capture of Weize Pass can not only pull out the nail of Weize Pass, but also nip tens of thousands of hungry people (risk factors) in Taiyuan.
In this case, Liu Wuzhou ordered Song Jingang to collect troops and attack Weize Pass. However, Song Jingang was bitter and couldn't say it, at this time Li Jiancheng, who was loyal to Xu Shiji, Yuan Baobao and others, successively recruited a lot of old Wagang Army, and Li Jiancheng, who had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, with the assistance of Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji, attacked Huzhou, and Song Jingang was very difficult to deal with.
For this reason, although Song Jingang could not withdraw, he ordered his subordinates to return to Taiyuan. Liu Wuzhou was also very open, waving his hand. Feng Wei Chi Gong was the head of the right capital of the Tianxing Army, commanding 50,000 elite soldiers of the Tianxing Army.
When Wei Chigong saw that there were 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, it was simply 50,000 rabble. These so-called elite soldiers are equipped with less than 6,000 sets of armor, including iron armor, leather armor, cloth armor, etc. As for blades, if you count kitchen knives, more than eighty percent of people have weapons. However, nearly a third of them are still cut wood into spears. It's just a simple hardening treatment.
Wei Chigong was brave and strategic, and the two cooperated to besiege Weize Pass without attacking. Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers defending Weize Pass, they can't stand it. Just when Li Xiuning sent He Yue'er to warn Chen Ying, He Yue'er was ambushed by Wei Chigong, although He Yue'er successfully escaped, but swept off the war horse, and He Yue'er was seriously injured in the chest at that time.
Now that Wei Zeguan is isolated, it is only a matter of time before it falls.
No plan can keep up with the rapid pace of change. When Chen Ying learned that Li Xiuning's situation was critical, he could no longer be calm. However, Chen Huairen is not in Fengzhou City now, and the current military doctors in the Lingzhou army are as rude as beasts, so Chen Ying had to personally treat He Yue'er's wounds.
Chen Ying's short blade cut a hole in the rag of He Yue'er's bra, and the blood oozing out almost stained the white cloth that wrapped his chest. In this situation, Chen Ying couldn't have any fragrant thoughts, and carefully cut the white cloth wrapped around his chest with scissors. He Yue'er's figure is very material, especially the pair of white rabbits, like two upside-down big jade cups, upright.
Chen Ying took a clean cloth soaked in warm water to wipe off the blood stains on his breast, found a deep wound on the inside of his left chest, carefully cleaned it and then wrapped it in medicine.
At this time, Chen Ying took off He Yue'er's dirty pants, which were originally extremely white and worn out in many places on the inner thighs, and the blood stains were red, which made people feel distressed to look at, and Chen Ying also carefully treated them with medicine.
After dealing with He Yue'er's wounds, Chen Ying's hard-line face was tense, and he walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind him.
Li Daozong's brows were deeply locked, he didn't expect things to deteriorate to such a point, and he never expected that the situation in Hedong would be so bad. The civil and military officials of the prefectures (counties) in Hedong will be so incompetent and mediocre to such a point. When Liu Wuzhou first raised his army, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when Song Jingang led more than 4,000 people to surrender to him, he gave half of his family property to Song Jingang in order to win over Song Jingang. Even at the beginning of the second year of Wude, Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses would never exceed 30,000, and now Liu Wuzhou has almost taken away the land east of Hedong that the Tang Dynasty had exchanged for tens of thousands of lives.
"Please Chen Langjun save Her Royal Highness the Princess, now only Langjun can get Her Royal Highness the Princess!" He Yue'er knelt down towards Chen Ying again, buried her head between her arms, her hair spread out, covering her head and face, revealing only a tender white neck stalk, and her body trembled with resentment.
At this time, what Li Xiuning lacked most was time. Now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested (in ancient times, the north was planted in one season, both spring planting and autumn harvest), although Li Xiuning had some grain in his hands, he couldn't stand it, and he couldn't stand it, and drove the old, weak, sick and disabled to attack Weize Pass every day. Li Xiuning has a good heart, so she accepts these old and weak women and children as much as possible. Looking for the appearance is even more vicious, taking advantage of Li Xiuning's psychology. The more old and weak women and children Li Xiuning accepted, the more food she had in her hands, which was originally enough for an army of 10,000 to eat for a year, could not last long.
To rescue Weize Pass, if you start from Guanzhong, cross the river at Longmen, and go north along Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, and Luzhou. It's just that it takes a long time. Even without fighting, it will take more than a month to walk. Moreover, it is impossible for Liu Wuzhou not to defend, even if it takes half a year, no general is willing to pack a ticket. Although Liu Wuzhou is not afraid, the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops are really not so easy to deal with.
On the contrary, Chen Ying could follow the "several" bends in the Yellow River, and through the Hetao, he could attack the old lair of Liu Wuzhou of Shuofang and force him to return to the army to save himself, so as to reduce Li Xiuning's pressure.
"Don't worry, I know this, and I will never sit idly by." Chen Yingshou pressed He Yue'er's weak shoulder to comfort her, only then did he feel that this woman was extremely weak, he stared at the ground in front of the tip of his shoe, and was silent for a long time.
Li Daozong didn't speak either, this matter was too tricky.
Liu Tong actually wanted to persuade Chen Ying to ignore Li Xiuning's life and death, and after taking Shengzhou step by step, he could attack Wuyuan County through Shengzhou.
Just didn't wait for Liu Tong to express his opinion, Chen Yinghuo Ran got up and ordered: "Pass my order, Chen Jinyong's Lingwu Left Army immediately entered the east of Fengzhou City to form a formation and defend it, and Ashina Simo's department fully took over and blocked the dock, and carefully guarded against the Turkic sneak attack; The other units are required to complete the replenishment of food, water, and ordnance according to operational standards before noon......"
