Lost the leadership of Liu Nu Yincheng and Liu Heishui, the Jihu people did not resist for long, and the tribe of tens of thousands of people was defeated by the army led by Liang Shunming, but the Jihu people lived on the grassland, although it was snowing heavily, but there were still many people who fled, and when Liang Shunming collected the soldiers of the rout, the Jihu tribe of tens of thousands of people was finally left with more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers and horses were only more than 2,000 people, most of whom had fled, and the accumulation of more than 100 years of Jihu was the completion of Liang Shidu.

After Liang Shidu heard about it, although he had some regrets, when he heard that he had won a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and war horses, the little regret in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he did not have any guilt about the fact that the handsome Liu Nu of Jihu had hidden thousands of miles and was killed by himself. It's just that what he doesn't know is that although he killed a Liu Nucheng, he actually lost more, his subordinates no longer believed in him, and his courtiers were terrified.

"Prime Minister, Shuo Fang's secret report." It was Shen Qianqiu who appeared in the study, as the commander, where Li Xin was, Shen Qianqiu was, after picking up Xiao Hou, Shen Qianqiu came to Diaoyin day and night.

"What? Is there anything going on with Shuofang? Li Xin is deploying the final attack on Shuofang, seeing that spring is about to begin, and there is much less snow on the ground, Li Xin is ready to seize the time to attack Liangshidu and occupy Shuofang.

"Jinyiwei came with news that Liang Shidu had killed Jihu Marshal Liu Nu Chengcheng and his son Liu Heishui." Shen Qianqiu's face showed a happy look.

"He just cut off his arm?" Li Xin asked with some surprise. Although he didn't look down on the Jihu tribe, he had thousands of soldiers and horses. can also resist himself for a while. What's more, not long after the Jihu people took refuge in Liang Shidu, they were killed by Liang Shidu, and who would dare to take refuge in Liang Shidu in the future.

"It is precisely in this way that Liang Shi has obtained a large amount of gold and silver treasures, cattle, sheep and horses from the Jihu people." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"He gained a lot, but he lost a lot." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Even the people who voluntarily surrendered to him have been killed, who else can't be killed in the future?" Liang Shidu is called self-destruction of the Great Wall. ”

"Prime Minister. Most of the generals under Liang Shidu have already returned to the prime minister, and Liang Shidu is afraid that no one will believe it. It can be said that Liang Shidu is no longer in our eyes, as long as we are careful to beware of the Turks. Du Ruhui also showed a smile.

"Lord Du, Xia Guan thinks that the Turks don't have to worry." Shen Qianqiu said with a smile: "Chuluo Khan is sick, and the illness is very serious, I think he will die of illness soon, at this time, the Turks are probably thinking about competing for the position of Khan, and they will not care about the changes in the Central Plains, otherwise." Li Shimin will not attack Liu Wuzhou frantically in winter, and I think it is because of this. ”

"Yes, Li Shimin also wants to completely solve Liu Wuzhou before the Turks set the Great Khan, and we are the same, and we must also have the opportunity to capture Shuofang." Li Xin nodded and said: "Now the people in Shuofang City are panicking, although the Jihu army outside the city has been decomposed, but there are still many people who have escaped, and we will lead the army to go." We can get a lot of these routs and don't make them our soldiers, but we can also use them to make some articles. ”

On the third day, the weather was clear. Li Xin finally led the army to the expedition, but Du Ruhui stayed behind to guard Diaoyin, Li Xin personally led an army of 20,000, followed by generals such as Duan Decao, Li Xuanba, Cheng Yanjin, Liu Min, and Zhang Ju. The army covered the sky with its banner, and killed the four days. Shi Yangze, the governor of Lingzhou, and Lin Xingcan, the hussar general, came to meet with 5,000 elite soldiers.

In Shuofang City, Liang Shidu's face was gloomy as water, although he did not speak, but he could still detect a trace of fear from the depths of his gaze, Li Xin led the army to kill, although there were only more than 20,000 people, but Liang Shidu still felt the fear, from Diaoyin to Shuofang, the cities along the way were almost without any resistance, so Li Xin led the army directly to Shuofang City, and set up a large camp in Dongcheng.

What made Liang Shidu even more frightened was that the Turks did not come, which made his heart uneasy. The reason why he can laugh at the four counties is that his personal bravery only occupies a small part, and more importantly, the support of the Turks has allowed him to have today's achievements, and now that the Turks are not coming, he will naturally panic.

"This place, I don't get sick sooner or later, but I'm sick at this time." Master Liang walked around the main hall, and standing next to him were the crown prince Liang Shunming, Shangshu Lu Jilan, and his cousin Liang Luoren, and now these three people were his most trusted people.

"Your Majesty, when the minister went to see the Khan, he saw that the Larrow was thin and thin, I am afraid that it would not be long before the Turkic people After the death of each Khan, for a long time, there will be many people vying for the position of Khan, ranging from a few months to a few years. What the minister is worried about is that there is not enough time! Lu Jilan said with some worry.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Shuofang is divided into two cities, the east and the west, and the ministers think that they can divide the troops to garrison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead 30,000 troops to garrison the east city, and His Majesty will personally lead the army to occupy the west city and guard the palace." Liang Luoren said in a low voice.

Liang Shidu glanced at his cousin, when, his cousin is so good at talking, although it is his cousin, but Liang Shidu also doubts him, but this suggestion put forward at the moment is not bad, divide the troops into two places, if one is breached, the other can take advantage of the opportunity of the other party to drag the enemy to attack the enemy's rear, no one knows which city gate Li Xin will attack, what Liang Shidu needs now is time, what he wants is to drag Li Xin, and wait for the Turkic reinforcements to come, In this way, he will have a chance to continue to occupy Shuofang, and it is not impossible to even recover the previously lost territory.

"The minister thinks it's okay, but the minister sees that Li Xin is more likely to attack Dongcheng, so it's better to let the prince lead 30,000 troops to garrison Dongcheng, General Liang to lead 20,000 troops to garrison outside the city, and the emperor to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Xicheng." Lu Jilan said in a low voice.

"The minister thinks this is the best, and the minister is willing to go out of the city to sit in the town, and become a horn for Shuo Fang." Liang Luoren said loudly.

"No, Luo Ren can't go out on an adventure, so let's sit in Xicheng with me!" Liang Shi thought about it, but still refused: "Li Xin is treacherous, if there is an army outside, I am afraid that Li Xin will be defeated, the prince leads 30,000 troops to sit in Dongcheng, Luo Ren, you and I are in Xicheng, once there is a change in Dongcheng, we can also have enough soldiers and horses to support Dongcheng." ”

"Yes." Liang Luoren was stunned when he heard this, his mouth opened, but he still didn't speak, just stood there quietly.

"Now that the army's heart is unstable, it is also a safe way for the emperor to do this." Lu Jilan thought about it and nodded, what Liang Shi needs now is time, as long as the Turks can quickly solve internal affairs, or in other words, Li Shimin of Bingzhou can solve Liu Wuzhou, and when he sees Li Xin conquering Liang Shidu, he will definitely harass Li Xin's rear.

Liang Shidu sighed slightly, he now regrets that he killed Liu Nu in the first place, the so-called unstable military spirit, not only that he lost the country, the soldiers rebelled, Li Xinbing came to the city, but also killed Liu Nu in it, he knew that there would be such a consequence, Liang Shidu would not kill Jihu Dashuai, not only did he lose thousands of cavalry under his command, but also made the army unstable. It's just that he didn't notice that now it is not only the problem of the unstable morale of the army, but also the problem of the loyalty of the soldiers around him, and even his cousin Liang Luoren is very dissatisfied with him.

After Liang Luoren returned to his mansion, he summoned Zhang Duan and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is ready to divide the troops, the prince will guard the east city, and he and I will guard the west city, hehe, Lu Jilan also wants to divide a part of the soldiers and horses to garrison outside the city, and Shuo Fang will become a horn, but unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is against it." What is the unstable spirit of the army, I don't think it is the unstable spirit of the army, he is worried about me, he is afraid of me, for fear that I will also rebel and betray him. is so suspicious, how can people be willing to work for him. ”

"The general is still like this, not to mention that I am waiting." A hint of discoloration flashed on Zhang Duan's face, and finally shook his head and said: "General, current affairs are like this, General, my subordinates thought it was better to prepare early!" ”

"Ready? What to prepare? Liang Luoren looked at Zhang Duan and said curiously: "What do we need to do now?" What else can be done? "Master Liang doesn't trust himself, and he doesn't even agree to the power of the horns, what else can he do? If you are trapped in the city, there is almost no hope, and the 80,000 army is stationed in the city, but in the end it is besieged by Li Xin's tens of thousands of troops, which is simply a big joke. But Liang Luoren knew that it was true. Liang Shidu was already afraid, he was afraid that he would be destroyed by Li Xin, and he was even more afraid that his subordinates would betray him, so he would firmly grasp the military power.

"Does the general think the emperor can win?" Zhang Duan finally had the courage to ask.

"You?" Liang Luorenmeng's face changed, looking at Zhang Duan, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent, Zhang Duan's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to surrender Li Xin. But can he surrender to Li Xin?

"King Tang wants the world, although the general's surname is Liang, but the general is not the emperor. If he can make a contribution, what is the general afraid of? How could the king of Tang kill a general who surrendered? Zhang Duan said in a low voice: "General, the last general follows behind the general, if the general resolutely resists, the last general must be the last person in front of the general, if the general submits to the prime minister, the last general will also follow the general's side, how the general decides, the last general must obey." ”

Liang Luoren looked at Zhang Duan deeply, and saw that his face was not fake, so he sighed for a long time before he sighed: "This matter, I want to think about it seriously, you should step back first!" ”

"Yes." Zhang Duan's face was stunned when he heard this, he glanced at Liang Luoren, didn't dare to persuade again, and retreated with a long sigh. (To be continued......)
