Guo Chongtao insisted on taking advantage of the victory to enter the customs, which Li Siyuan was somewhat unexpected.

This time, Li Keyong gave them only one task, that is, when he attracted Li Quanzhong's troops in Yizhou, they made a surprise attack and captured the military capital in one fell swoop. This task is not easy, at least Li Keyong is not completely sure in advance that they can really capture the Jundu Pass, let alone that they can capture the Jundu Pass so quickly.

Surprisingly, they succeeded, and they took the Jundu Pass so quickly, and they only used 20,000 men to capture it, and the casualties were less than 5,000. As a result, they do now have the strength to consider taking advantage of the victory to attack Youzhou.

This is very risky, although the intelligence seems that Youzhou does not have a surplus of about 20,000 defenders. And the main general, Li Congwei, is not a famous general. But Li Siyuan knew very well that the biggest danger after entering the customs was not Li Congwei, but the Qin army on the front line of Yanshan in the north of Youzhou. Shun, Tan, Ji, Jing, An, Ping, Li Jing's six states in the north parallel province, living on the first line of Yanshan, condescending, overlooking Youzhou.

The last time Liu Yan, Liu Rengong, and Li Quanzhong fought for Youzhou, the Qin army in the northern parallel province did not move, but this did not mean that their threat did not exist.

However, after the end of the day, Li Siyuan still agreed to Guo Chongtao's request to send troops. Except for him, basically all the generals supported Guo Chongtao's proposal, and even if Li Siyuan was the main general, he could not forcibly veto their demands. Guo Chongtao can now be said to be a rising star in the Shatuo army, and last time he won the four states of Confucianism, Xin, Wu, and Concubine with only one partial division, which can be described as extremely dazzling. At present, Li Keyong has awarded him the Colonel of the Fan Han and Ma Budu, this military position is a high and powerful position, and it faintly has the meaning of replacing the position of the second person in the Shatuo Army of Li Youjin, who has just died. Although Li Siyuan was born and died for Li Keyong. This time it was only awarded to the commander of Ma Bujun. Compared to Guo Chongtao's Fan Han Mabu Colonel. But it's a level lower.

It is false to say that Li Siyuan does not have a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he hides this dissatisfaction very well.

Now Guo Chongtao is in the limelight, and his words are quite arrogant and domineering, and he does not take him as the main general in his eyes.

"I hope you can keep being arrogant!" In the study of the general's mansion in the military capital, after learning that Guo Chongtao had occupied Changping City, which was unguarded, Li Siyuan had no expression. Changping is the last city between the military capital Guan and Youzhou, and Li Congwei has abandoned this city. The soldiers and horses were shrunk and withdrawn into the defense of Youzhou City.

The Shunzhou Qin army, which Li Siyuan had been looking forward to, did not take the opportunity to occupy Changping City, but did not move, as if watching a play, which made Li Siyuan a little disappointed.

"How could Li Jing let go of this opportunity to meddle in the situation in Youzhou? If I were Li Jing, I would definitely not let the Shatuo army occupy Youzhou so easily, and I would definitely come to capture Youzhou. If you want to capture Youzhou, the last way is to block the Shatuo army first, and then turn back to clean up the Yiwu army in Youzhou City. Last time, Li Jing was in Huaisi, facing Shi Pu and Gao Yu. That's how it was shot. first blocked Gao Yu's Huai army, and then turned back to capture Xu Su. That's right. Li Jing must have made arrangements, and the Qin army must have ambushed outside Youzhou City, laying a big net waiting for Guo Chongtao to get in. ”

Li Siyuan is no longer a hairy boy, and several years of fighting and killing have also made him scheming and his mansion deeper.

Guo Chongtao's sudden rise has seriously threatened his position. This time, let Li Jing teach this arrogant boy a good lesson on his behalf.

Li Siyuan sat on the Hu chair, holding his chin with one hand, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

After a long time, he called in a loud voice to a personal guard, "When will the follow-up reinforcements arrive?" ”

"General Hui, I still received a reply from Madame before the evening, Madame has gathered her 5,000 female soldiers, as well as 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry from the Tatars, Xi, Han, Uighurs, and other units, and the vanguard cavalry will arrive at noon tomorrow, and the infantry will also arrive at night."

Li Siyuan nodded and waved his hand to let the guards retreat.

When Guo Chongtao met first, he happened to lead the troops with his wife into the customs, at that time, with these 50,000 soldiers, even if the Qin army intervened, he was confident to seize Youzhou.

It was getting late, and night fell, like a black curtain, and there were few stars in the sky, exuding a bleak starlight.

The military capital was closed, and most of the 5,000 Shatuo troops left behind had already fallen asleep, fighting for days, and today they could finally sleep peacefully. Closed, only a few hundred unlucky guys on duty secretly cursed their bad luck, while blowing the cool night breeze, listening to the sound of insects, and standing guard a little sleepy.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the officer on duty came to check the post with a team of soldiers, and the soldiers on guard reminded each other, and quickly shook their heads, drove away the drowsiness, and tried to cheer up, and stood up straight seriously to meet the inspection.

He Lao Liu just stood up straight, but his eyes were inadvertently lowered, and suddenly a snow-white surged down, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "What a thing." ”

At this time, the star officer who happened to patrol his side was also attracted to attention, and a group of people worked hard to look at the pass.

Gradually, the white patch moved closer and closer.

He Lao Liu had already seen it clearly at this time, and shouted: "It's a flock of sheep." ”

It was indeed a flock of sheep, and it was a very large flock of sheep, at least four or five thousand heads. Such a large flock of sheep suddenly appeared at Guanxia at this time. There was something strange about it, which alerted the officer on duty.

Could it be that someone drove the sheep to the gate and tried to lure them out of the gate?

But that's unlikely, right?

Moreover, during the day, General Guo had just led 10,000 soldiers and horses into the pass, and even Changping in the east had already been taken.

He Lao Liu looked at the large flock of sheep, and suddenly said: "Could these sheep be raised in Guanli, someone drove out of the city during the day to herd, and it turned out that we took Guancheng in one fell swoop today, and then, perhaps, the sheep herding ran away when he saw this, and then at night, these sheep came back by themselves." ”

The old horse knows the way, and the sheep actually have this ability.

Although He Laoliu's words are a bit simple, if you think about it, there is indeed such a possibility. The officers on patrol watched carefully, but there was no one but this large flock of sheep.

Everyone looked at each other, whether to catch this flock of sheep.

A few thousand sheep is indeed not a small number.

"Do you want to report to the general?" Someone asked.

The star officer on duty thought for a moment, "Do you need to disturb the general for such a trivial matter?" Simply, open the door and drive the sheep into the city, and tomorrow everyone will eat roast mutton together. ”

The officer thought about it, but he still didn't think there was any danger in it, the Yiwu army had already fled to Youzhou City, and Changping in the east was also taken, and at this time, there would be no enemy in the middle. What's more, this is just a mere flock of sheep, nine times out of ten, it is really a sheep that was released during the day and came back at night.

A group of bored night watch soldiers suddenly became interested, and they all smiled and asked the people below to open the door to herd the sheep.

The officers in the city let people herd sheep on the one hand, but on the other hand, they did not completely relax their vigilance, but asked them to pick up their bows and prepare, if they opened the city gate and there were enemy troops or something outside, they could also shoot immediately.

The gates of the city slowly opened, and the sheep below began to enter the city, and the enemy, who had worried the defenders of the city, did not appear.

"Damn, I'm really worried in vain, this group of sheep is really a sheep in the military capital."

Everyone was laughing and discussing how to eat sheep tomorrow.

Under the bleak starlight, the sheep are entering the city.

Everything seemed to be in order, and even the battalion of defenders who had previously held their weapons in front of the gate put away their long-standing bows and arrows, and each yawned to let go of the fishy smell of sheep.

No one in the city or in the city noticed that not all of the sheep in this great flock were sheep.

Fu Cunxian was dressed in sheep's clothing, pretending to be a sheep and following the flock, crawling forward on all fours, and beside him, there were soldiers who were also wearing sheep's clothing.

Closer, closer and closer, Fu Cunxian's heart was very nervous, but everything went well, they successfully stepped on the drawbridge and crossed the ditch, and then entered the city gate hole under the bright bow and arrow crossbow cart at the head of the city.

The Shatuo soldiers guarding the cave in the city gate all retreated into the city, allowing the flock of sheep to rush in, completely unvigilant.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps!

Five steps!

came in, and they entered the military capital Xiongguan, known as one of the double stoppers in Youzhou, under the cover of the sheep.

Fu Cunxian violently lifted the sheepskin on his body, Huo Di stood up, and pulled the crossbow wrench from a defender officer who had not reacted at all.

The bolt made a sharp sound that pierced the air and went straight into the officer's eyebrows, and the officer didn't know how he had died.

Woohoo!

After shooting all seven crossbow nails at the enemy in front of him in a row, Fu Cunxian had already thrown down the crossbow machine, pulled out the two-handed big sword on his back, and suddenly shouted: "Kill!" ”

One after another, the sheep took off their sheepskins and stood upright, first with crossbow arrows, then throwing crossbows, pulling out horizontal knives, battle axes and other melee weapons, and rushing over one by one.

The Shatuo defenders above and below the city were frightened, and they even forgot to react for a moment when they watched the sheep suddenly burst out and kill people!

A moment later, a terrible scream finally sounded at the city gate, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

The alarm bell rang out on the tower, and some of the defenders were rushing down the city, some were trying to wring the drawbridge, and some were running to the ballista catapults

At the city gate, it has become a killing hell, blood is splattered, and sheep bleating in all directions towards the city.

Li Cunxian and his subordinates had already captured the city gate, and there were more sheep people rushing in behind.

There was a thud of thunderbolt that exploded in a pile of Shatuo soldiers who rushed over, and the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke filled the air, and the sound shook the sky.

In a valley not far from Jundu Pass, Yang Shihou's ears shook a few times, and then he heard more explosions. He couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face, and stood up from the ground violently, while kicking the soldiers around him with his feet, and shouted loudly: "Get on the horse, get on the horse, it's time for us to land!"
