The destruction of the camp of the Western Regions Army was a turning point in this war.

At first, the Western Regions army heard that someone had attacked the camp, although they were uneasy and had no intention of fighting, but they did not retreat directly, after all, there were still 20,000 people left in the camp, how could they hold on for a while, as long as they waited to take Tianshui City, everything was not a problem.

It was the generals who were trying their best to maintain the situation and intensify the offensive.

But as soon as the news of the camp was broken, the generals couldn't sit still.

What does this mean? It means that the combat strength of the army attacking outside the city far exceeds that of them by 20,000 people, otherwise how could they be defeated so quickly. Now that you have your hands free, you don't need to ask if the next step is to break into the city. At that time, if the enemy is on the back of the abdomen, will it not be necessary to be defeated?

If it is a unified army, it is easy to say, but the problem lies in the coalition army, no one wants their strength to be damaged, and the troops are consumed here, which will inevitably reduce the country's strength, and if it is not good, it will be annexed.

In this case, even if the main general wants to fight to the death, he can't stand a team of people from retreating privately.

In fact, Li Xiuning didn't plan to enter the city at all, and he would only go in to confront people if he was stupid.

When the first Western Regions army withdrew from Tianshui City, Li Xiuning's side basically suppressed the camp.

Originally, Li Xiuning's formation was full of foot soldiers, and there were no cavalry, and there were few war horses. But in Yongzhou for such a long time is not in vain, some people can ride horses, and some are trained later, there are horses to take turns to ride horses, and if they can't be arranged, they will ride rolling logs. This can be regarded as a precautionary measure, and the riding skills are certainly not very good, and I have never tried to charge in unison, but at this time, I can't take care of much, and there is no need to fight much next.

The Western Regions Army is absolutely unintentional, as soon as they leave the city, they see the cavalry on standby in the distance, regardless of the number of people, they subconsciously take a step and flee, first ensure safety.

And Li Xiuning's order to the cavalry was to drive away. Call it the Sheep Herding Program.

Treat the Western Regions army as lambs and graze them to the designated place.

According to common sense, the Western Regions are located west of Yongzhou, and when the camp is breached, they will basically choose to flee westward, and under Li Xiuning's deliberate interception and drive, almost all the Western Regions troops are forced to flee to the southwest.

This is the third goal of maximizing profits.

What's in the southwest of Yongzhou?

Some are another Western Regions army that is confronting Xiao Jiwen.

Driving the Western Regions army from Tianshui City over will inevitably cause the people of that Western Regions army to panic and have absolutely no interest in fighting any further.

Originally, there was Xiao Auntie in the front, and there was the Zhenxi Mansion that was liberated, and the grain road was cut off, how could it be beaten?

But Xiao Jiwen may watch the Western Regions Army leave easily? Not to mention anything else, but the property they plundered was enough to make Xiao Jiwen's eyes red, and she was the master of the family to develop her power, and she needed money everywhere, so she thought it was easy.

One side wants to go, the other side wants to chase fiercely, once the two sides encounter, the tighter Xiao Jiao's oppression, the more the Western Regions army will rebound, without him, if you want to return to the Western Regions safely, you can only die.

In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve the purpose of consuming Xiao Jiwen's strength?

It depends on how Xiao Xiaowen chooses.

The danger of Tianshui City was lifted, and the Jiang family and the people of Zhenxi Mansion were all grateful, but Li Xiuning didn't choose to enter the city at all, and stayed for two days to re-recruit some young people who left voluntarily, regardless of whether they could ride a horse or not, even if they fell to death, they had to get on the horse and slowly get acquainted with it.

At this time, Li Xiuning's army was divided into two teams, one team was led by Li Xiuning himself, with a number of 8,000, as the vanguard, all the way north, straight into the grassland.

The second team, led by Qiu Mingyuan, who was good at guarding, and all those who could not ride horses were under his command, and slowly followed behind, transporting the grain and grass and property obtained while training the soldiers under his command in riding.

Hurry up, when Yang Miaozhen entered the grassland and began to implement the grassland raid plan, Li Xiuning also followed into the grassland, setting off a bloody storm in the west.

War is the best classroom.

This infantry army, which basically only knew basic riding skills from the beginning, quickly turned into a cavalry army that was good at fighting in a short period of time, although it was not enough to play tricks, but it was indeed a cavalry army that could handle it.

There will inevitably be casualties, from the initial 8,000 to less than 7,000, but in the rear, Qiu Mingyuan sent the soldiers who had initially learned to ride horses, and the number reached 10,000.

On the endless steppe, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on a Turkic tribe, adding a bit of desolation to this tribe without a voice full of corpses.

"It's easy to meet a Turkic tribe, and it's so poor, phew...... Why is the smell so strong on these Turks. Qin Liangyu discarded the silk cloth she used to wipe the blood stains on her face, this thing was still taken by her from a gorgeously dressed Turkic woman, and she didn't think that she was still angry.

"Okay, the aftermath statistics are Qiu Mingyuan's business, we don't have a guide, even if we are lucky, we don't have to waste time in the future, let's go and find Yang Miaozhen to meet." Li Xiuning's tone was light, but his body was very clean, compared to charging and killing the enemy in person, Li Xiuning preferred to command the troops, so he didn't get involved in the killing at all.

Qiu Mingyuan was a little bitter, Li Xiu would rather not wait for him to appear before leaving, even if there was no shortage of war horses, he couldn't stand the fact that the people under him were all rookies, and at the same time, he had transported so many supplies, and the speed was not fast at all.

Basically, when they arrived at the slaughtered tribe according to some signs and messenger passes, the corpses began to stink.

Of course, it's not all bad. At least make a fortune? A sheep is driven, and a flock of sheep is also herded, and they are slowly driven away. In addition, Li Xiuning will also leave some people to take care of the captured and enslaved Daliang people in these tribes, and hand them over to Qiu Mingyuan, who is willing to accept them from Rong, and it doesn't matter if they don't want to, they will go back and send them to Bingzhou to be a flat-headed people.

When Yang Miao was really worried about the grassland strategy, he suddenly heard that there was also a plundering team in the west of the grassland, and his style of action was even more ruthless than them, at least Yang Miaozhen still needed to give some face here because of the existence of Ainur, and left all the women of the exterminated tribes to her, but Li Xiu would rather not care so much, just kill them together.

Yang Miaozhen did this not because Ainur was his own ally, even if it was Zhou Shaoyu, if he didn't have certain benefits, there was no need to do this just by virtue of being an ally, purely because Ainur was defeated and annexed to the state, but he still had private ties with individual tribes. Let them follow Ainur to resist Ashina Huqina will definitely not dare, but if they buy some war horse materials, this is still no problem.

Soon, though, this will lose its relevance.

Li Xiuning has nothing to lack, there are war horses, not to mention slaughtering several tribes and adding a batch of war horses.

After sending scouts to investigate in detail, he really connected with Li Xiuning's army, if he hurried day and night, he would be able to converge in less than two days, which really surprised Yang Miaozhen, if he added Li Xiuning's army, even if those tribes gathered together to protect themselves?

On that day, the two armies converged and decisively destroyed a gathering place of several tribes, and although Ainur was still under house arrest, he still gave a few thin faces, leaving the female stream to be handed over to Ainul.

The grassland is so big, the killing must be inexhaustible, after a long time, it is bound to resurrect, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not kill enough in history? It's almost time to wipe out others, but in the end, it's not a comeback. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's style of play, although it is bloody, but at the same time, it also dragged down the empire's finances.

In the next few days, there is no hurry to continue to exterminate, the army under Li Xiuning's command has been fighting for so long, and it is inevitable that they will be psychologically tired and need to rest for a while. Just waiting for Qiu Mingyuan to arrive with the follow-up troops, and then escort them all the way to the border of Bingzhou.

Li Xiuning's cavalry was officially handed over to Yang Miaozhen, who returned to the grassland and continued to stir up the wind and rain.

Li Xiuning rushed to Zhou Shaoyu with most of the remaining troops, and Qiu Mingyuan went to Taiyuan with the remaining troops, materials, and population. After that, a few thousand more men will be gathered to rush to the front.

Looking at the mountains of various materials, Xu Miaojin, who was in charge of Taiyuan, almost didn't cry with excitement, there was no way, after a long time, I almost forgot what it was like to be rich, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, I almost couldn't wait to go up and hug Qiu Mingyuan.

On the other side, looking at Li Xiuning, who was in the dust, Zhou Shaoyu chuckled lightly and said, 'Silly girl'.

Recently, Zhou Shaoyu's life has not been easy, no matter how he deceived when he came, but he did bring such a little force, and the Turks who were indeed bluffed at the beginning did not dare to be relaxed, for fear of fraud, after all, two battlefields have been opened, if it is against Zhou Shaoyu again, it is a three-line battle, which is basically based on confrontation, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

But with the passage of time, round after round of exploration, I really didn't find anything unusual, Rao is Zhou Shaoyu made a lot of suspicious tactics to delay for some time, but still called the Turkic army on the opposite side to discover Ni Duan, and the originally stopped tentative attack reappeared, and it became stronger and stronger each time, and it was estimated that it would be really unbearable to attack in the past two days.

Who defeated Ashina Huqin in a battle? Although the conceit will not affect the final victory, it is indeed enough to be dragged 50,000 troops here in vain.

At this time, Li Xiuning arrived with 10,000 troops, and no matter what, he could ease the delay for a while. At that time, when Qiu Mingyuan brings some soldiers and horses to come, then he can really try to repel the enemy army.

The so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, not to mention that the two have not seen each other for a while, but Li Xiuning's light and cold temperament will not have anything to do with firewood, probably at this time, silence is better than sound, even if it is just standing quietly together, it is also a very warm picture.

Pulling Li Xiuning to sit down next to him, Zhou Shaoyu turned his head and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Why should the righteous brother be so polite, this trip has gained a lot, it is worth this trip, there is no mentor and friend who is more powerful than Sister Xiuning." Qin Liangyu responded with a smile.

"Does this mean that my brother can't teach you anymore?" Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes. "I thought you would have a much calmer temperament, but I thought you would still jump out like this."

"Sister, my name is cheerful." Qin Liangyu took a sip and snorted.

On the other hand, Zhou Zaixing just hugged his fists and did not speak, in his opinion, it was natural to work hard for Zhou Shaoyu.

Originally, Zhou Shaoyu also planned to say that Zhou Zaixing's son had been born, and he would go back to see it when the battle was over, but after thinking about it, this was quite suspicious of Falag, so he resolutely shut up.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, what if I rejuvenate in a week? Isn't it really FALAG, how depressing.

The Turkic general who confronted Zhou Shaoyu was called Obsessive, calm, talkative, and a stuffy gourd. Originally, he was sent to live in Ashina as a hostage, and he basically saw little hope, but with the help of Ashina Huqin, he became the leader of the Lost Department in one fell swoop, thus becoming Ashina Huqin's diehard loyalist.

is no more ferocious and irritable than other Turks, and his temperament is very cautious, which is why Ashina Huqin sent Zhisha Moli as the main general to confront Zhou Shaoyu.

And the performance of the stubborn power is really like this, any military order is very cautious, even if it has become more and more intensified in recent days is a tentative attack, it is after thoroughly confirming that there is nothing unusual around them, and every time they are all prepared to prevent fraud.

This is also the first time that Zhou Shaoyu has met such a cautious general, which is quite a bit of a headache, and it is limited to the problem of his own troops, there is really no good way, but Li Xiuning is now bringing some soldiers and horses over, but it is a lot more operable.

"Cautious? But it's not difficult to deal with. After hearing the details here, Li Xiuning had an idea......

Yongzhou, in order to avoid too many casualties, Xiao Jiwen tried her best to delay the footsteps of the Western Regions Army, and wanted to forcibly leave the Western Regions Army in the Yongzhou territory for the winter. However, the Western Regions Army, which broke out with the will to survive, was obviously not something that Xiao Jiwen was willing to face.

In the end, with most of the remaining supplies of the Western Regions Army, they were able to return to the Western Regions smoothly.

Then, although the Zhenxi Mansion, which had suffered a great loss in strength, had not yet been revoked, Tianshui City had been included in the direct jurisdiction of Xiao Jiwen, and the Jiang family would move to Chang'an to directly serve as Xiao Ji's vassals.

However, the bigger the family, the more they know how to protect themselves, and some of the young people are divided into three groups, a few people go to Bingzhou, a few people go to Tanzhou, and a few people go directly to Daliang Jingshi.

Bet all over, no matter who wins in the end, you will never break the legacy.

Jizhou, after winning a big victory, Huofeng did not take the initiative to attack, everything was mainly defensive, Rao was already doing his best, but he still had to gradually start to retreat, after all, Ashina Huqin's failure does not mean that people are incompetent.

If you weren't careful enough, you would almost have tasted defeat.

Great Liang Jingshi, Jinling.

As the official newspaper issued by the imperial court, it has a great influence, and the content of it has won the love of scholars and scholars, and under the propaganda of intentional or unintentional, Gao Yuyao's reputation has been brushed again.

Faced with this situation, Li Qingzhao convened the Tanzhou sisters and some representatives of the members of the Shanhuai Pavilion to discuss countermeasures......
