Thousands of armies roared, thousands of horses galloped, millions of corpses were ambushed, and blood was shed.

Once, the flying tiger Li Ya'er thought that the Shatuo cavalry won a hundred battles and was invincible in the world, with one victory after another, he felt that the Shatuo people should not just act as a thug for Li Tang, Shatuo's sword, he wanted to hold it in his own hands, and even in his thoughts, he had risen to establish a country of Shatuo and lay down a big territory.

The cavalry galloped and retreated from Tianmen Pass to Lanzhou at night.

The camp at Tianmen Pass was still there, and his black flag was still flying there, but it was empty.

Li Keyong and his wife Liu Shibing divided into two routes, he personally led 10,000 Shatuo Jing to gallop to the west of the Yellow River in the starry night, his henchmen and strategists Gaiyu, the generals Kang Junli, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunben, Xue Tieshan, Wang Xingxian accompanied him, and his son Li Cunjin and Shi Jingsi accompanied him. His wife, Liu, took Li Sizhao, Siyuan, and Siben Sanyizi, 8,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 young and strong auxiliary soldiers back to Shuozhou.

10,000 Shatuo soldiers took advantage of the night to retreat into Lanzhou, passed through the Honggu, and finally arrived at Hehejin on the east bank of the Yellow River. Then cross the river from here and enter Shengzhou under the envoy of the Zhenwu army. After going ashore. Take the Spirit Salt Silver Summer Road. Fly directly to Youzhou to pick up Li Guochang.

Think about how much he began to get on the war horse when he was a teenager, and took the Shatuo army to make repeated military exploits, since the Shatuo was attached to the Tang Dynasty, several generations of the Shatuo army fought for the Tang Dynasty, and the iron army swept thousands of miles, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. Originally, he looked down on Li Tang in his heart, and in his opinion, he killed Duan Wenchu. seized Yunzhou, and deliberately executed the court officials, just to show the muscles of their Shatuo people to the little emperor of Chang'an.

It's just that he still can't figure out how this little emperor and those Xiangguo in the court dare to beat them.

He only vaguely felt that maybe he had done it the wrong way in the first place, and that he should be as low-key as the damn party guy. But what he was most angry about was that Li Jing, he took the Zhendong Army to stay in his Dengzhou and Liaonan well, and ran to Daibei to do something?

Li Jing seized his Ulzhou, and Yu Xuan seized his father's Shan Yu Protectorate. This pair of teachers and students is simply the nemesis of the Shatuo people. If it weren't for them, Li Keyong would have believed it. The Imperial Court will definitely not be able to hold on, and they will be the victors in this war.

"Li Jing, it's all Li Jing, if Li Jing doesn't suddenly raid his backyard Ulzhou, it is expected that Yu Xuan, Na Helian Duo, and Bai Yicheng will not dare to send troops to the capital to protect the mansion. Li Jing, I, Li Keyong, remember you, in this life, if I don't kill you, I won't be a person! Immediately, Li Ke suddenly let out a voice of anger, startling Gaiyu next to him. Although Gaiyu was originally a Yunzhou dental school, it was only because his family had been a Yunzhou dental school for generations. In fact, Gaiyu is not good at martial arts battle formations, and he is naturally a little weak, but he has a smart head, and since the Yunzhou Mutiny, he is Li Keyong's henchman and strategist. Li Keyong stayed by Gai Yu for a moment, and when Li Ke used to discuss and decide on major matters with Gai Yu, he obeyed Gai Yu's advice and let him follow him every time he went on an expedition.

"After staying, in my opinion, the strength of the Zhendong Army is not the military strength, but Li Jing's strategic layout. This person should not be underestimated, and he should try to avoid fighting him in the future. Gai Yu persuaded.

"Do you think it's right or wrong for me to lead my army across the river?" Li Keyong asked.

Gai Yu groaned, and after a long while, he replied: "The current situation, the best policy, is to return to Yunshuo Erzhou, recruit a group of elite soldiers, and withdraw the population and livestock to the foot of the Saiwaiyin Mountain. Avoid the real and the virtual, and do not confront the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Temporarily retreat, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to be stationed in Daibei all the time, and when the soldiers and horses of all roads retreat, we can make a comeback at that time, and the key is to preserve our strength. ”

"And the next step?" Li Keyong asked.

"The middle strategy is to retreat into Shuozhou, and fight a defensive battle with our foundation in Daibei and the in-depth defense of the base camp new city built in Shuozhou. We may be able to win, but if we win, we will also suffer heavy losses and lose a lot of vitality. ”

"The next policy, just the choice to stay behind, desperate, send troops to Youzhou, directly attack Yanzhou, do the momentum of entering the customs, lead the soldiers and horses of the imperial court from Daibei to the west bank of the Yellow River, and look forward to the truce and reconciliation of the imperial court. But," Gai Yu shook his head and sighed, "but the chances of success are too small. Moreover, Li Jing captured Ulzhou, Yu Xuan and Helian Duo captured Shan Yu Duhufu, this time is too good to cooperate, I suspect that Li Jing and Yu Xuan have been exchanging news, their actions are the same, and it is even possible that these three soldiers and horses are in unison. If this is the case, then it is very likely that Tuoba Sigong of Youzhou has joined this net. Behind this, there is a big hand pushing, maybe"

At this point, Gai Yu stopped talking, his face full of worry.

"Maybe what?" Li Keyong also thought of that possibility, but he still asked.

Gai Yu shook his head, "Hopefully nothing like that will happen." ”

At dawn, Li Ke had crossed the Yellow River with 10,000 cavalry and entered the territory of Shengzhou, which was close to the Yellow River and Linzhou, which were under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Army, and Shengzhou was only a few hundred miles away from the Jingluo Army.

Shengzhou Sui was originally Yulin County, under the jurisdiction of Yulin and Hebin County. By this time in the Tang Dynasty, Shengzhou had jurisdiction over two counties of Yulin and Hebin, and also two counties of Liangu and Yincheng. Shengzhou was located in Yulin, but Li Guochang sent troops to Youzhou through the city, but there were 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the two cities of Liangu and Yincheng, responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. At this time, in Yincheng, Shengzhou Thorn Shi Gao Wenshun personally sat in Yincheng and was responsible for grain and grass matters.

In Yincheng, Gao Wenshun was gathering 500 soldiers and 1,000 people to escort a batch of grain, grass and supplies to Jingluo City, but suddenly heard a junior officer rushing and shouting: "Envoy, there are hundreds of horsemen running from the west!" ”

Gao Wenshun hurriedly went to the city to watch, and saw that from the west direction, a puff of smoke and dust was rising, and a cavalry team of about 300 people was galloping forward.

The cavalry had arrived in a blink of an eye, and there was a loud shout: "Open the city gates, the commander is back!" ”

Gao Wenshun took a closer look, Li Guochang was indeed among the cavalry, but the situation was extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't help but be surprised. When Li Guochang sent his troops, he brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and not long after, Li Quanzhong rushed from Hedong with 3,000 Shatuo elite soldiers. Why did it take only a few days for Li Guochang to come back in such a mess, could it be that they suffered a big defeat and were wiped out?

Ignoring this, he hurriedly ordered left and right: "Put the drawbridge and open the city gate to welcome the handsome into the city." ”

The drawbridge was slowly lowered, Li Guochang and others rushed in, and the first thing they said after entering the city was: "Close the city gate immediately, and find some more food and water!" ”

The gates were closed again, and the food was not ready for a while, so some bread had to be brought up. After Li Guochang and the others jumped off the horse, they sat directly on the ground, grabbed the cake and ate it violently, looking like they hadn't eaten enough for a few days.

"Why did the big marshal come back suddenly?" Gao Wenshun asked in a low voice.

Li Guochang's mouth was stuffed with cakes, his eyes revealed anger, and he said indistinctly: "The Tiande army captured the Shan Yu Duhu Mansion, and the damn Zhenwu army defected, and they raided Lao Tzu in the middle of the night with the Helian Army. ”

Shan Yu was captured in the capital of the Protectorate, and Gao Wenshun had heard some rumors before, but they were only rumors. He didn't believe it at all, but he didn't expect that it was actually true. In this way, Li Guochang not only lost Shan Yudu Protectorate, but also the Zhenwu army followed the backlash, and now there are only two or three hundred of the six thousand Shatuo elite soldiers who go to Youzhou. Oh my God, Gao Wenshun felt like the sky was falling.

When Gao Wenshun was in chaos, Li Guochang and the others had already eaten and drunk, "Gather the soldiers and horses in the city, bring some dry food, and we will go to Hedong." ”

"Do you want to abandon Silver City?"

"Shan Yudu Hufu is gone, and the Zhenwu Army has also rebelled, so what's the point of guarding Shengyin Erzhou now. For now, it's better to go to Hedong first, and it is important to meet Wuerke. "Although Li Guochang was defeated, his mind was still very clear, the Zhenwu army was against the water, plus the Helian Army, they would definitely chase after him. With this little bit of men and horses in his hands, he can't stop it no matter what.

Gao Wenshun didn't speak, turned around and went to arrange, the city had already heard at this time that Shan Yudu Hufu was captured by the Tiande army, the Zhenwu army was in battle, Li Guochang Youzhou's entire army was annihilated, and now he was going to abandon the city and retreat into Hedong, and suddenly the city was full of chickens and dogs.

In the midst of the chaos, Li Keyong had already arrived with his soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses entered the city.

Li Guochang and Li Ke couldn't help but sigh when they saw each other with father and son.

When Li Keyong saw that Li Guochang was in Yincheng, he felt bad in his heart, and when he saw that the city was in chaos and was about to evacuate, his face changed rapidly.

"Keyong, why did you lead the army here, and were the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan defeated?" Li Guochang asked, with a hint of hope on his face.

Li Ke shook his head with some pain, and Gai Yu guessed correctly.

"Father, Yu Xuan broke through Shan Yudu's Protectorate, Li Jing broke through Ulzhou, and Taiyuan didn't have the slightest chance. The situation was unfavorable, I wanted to lead the army across the river and kill Guanzhong with my father, but I didn't expect the Zhenwu army to rebel. ”

Li Guochang's face changed drastically, and his whole person's spirit suddenly withered a lot, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden. He sighed and said, "Is the sky going to kill me!" ”

Both father and son had their heads bowed and their faces full of pain.

"Father, Uncle, and Waishin all died in battle?" Li Ke asked with a jerked head.

Li Guochang said with some sneer: "At that time, the night was chaotic, the enemy was fierce, and there were chaotic battles everywhere. ”

Hearing this result, Li Ke's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he already had a plan in his heart. (To be continued......)
