Those are all things in the future, Zhou Shaoyu, who returned to Daliang, was too busy to move, and kept mobilizing to create the illusion of confrontation between Chenghui Prefecture and Xingwu County, and the 10,000 troops of Tanwangfu also stayed in Xuefeng County, north of Xingwu County, and did not move.

So a seemingly three-legged situation emerged. However, in fact, there are two parties that belong to Zhou Shaoyu. However, this does not mean that he has the ability to directly swallow the forces of the Tan Palace, because Zhou Shaoyu pretended to be the two forces, and most of the troops who appeared on the bright side were just pretending to each other back and forth, and there were not so many people.

According to Li Xiuning, the best way is to lure the Tan Wangfu to take the initiative, such as attacking Xingwu County. However, this involves specific operations, and it is unlikely, Tan Wangfu is on guard to occupy Xingwu County's 'Shuibo Liangshan', but it is also on guard against Gao Xiujun, the leader of Chenghui Prefecture, if you are not completely sure that Gao Xiujun is credible, otherwise you will definitely not take the initiative to attack, unless Tan Wangfu has accumulated enough strength to think that it can fight two or two.

Since it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to attack, if he takes a step back, he will be able to gather troops as quickly as possible to wipe out all the 10,000 troops in Xuefeng County, so that the remaining troops of the Fucheng Tan Wangfu will not be able to rescue, so that the Tan Wangfu side can fall into a backward situation.

However, Xuefeng County can know the topography of this place just by listening to the name, the name of Xuefeng County comes from the famous Xuefeng Mountain in its territory, its high altitude, obviously located in the south, but it is still covered with snow on the top of the mountain all year round. As for the rest of the place, most of them are mainly mountains, and the roads are narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

With such a terrain, if you want to sneak into the army unknowingly, you basically don't even think about it, and once you are aware of it, prepare for defense in advance, and with the favorable terrain, it is too difficult to solve the 10,000 troops quickly.

But all this is not in a hurry, now is not a good time to attack Tanzhou, because there is no righteousness, once the flag is officially raised, it will face a situation where no one has defected for a long time, at least before a certain force is achieved.

Although it is basically a state where no one comes to invest at the moment, but fortunately, the territory is not large, and the temporary training and the control of the women will not cause chaos, but if the territory is large, it is difficult to say.

As for blackmailing those who are greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't say that Zhou Shaoyu doesn't like it, he just can't believe it, God knows when he will stab you in the back.

Fortunately, the development of the overall situation is mostly beneficial to Zhou Shaoyu.

Needless to say, as time goes by, the Yunzhou strategy is basically smooth, and at that time, Xiao will play the role of Shuzhou and Yunzhou to watch the world, and the next step is likely to attack Qianzhou.

In terms of the Liang court, Gao Yuyao still controlled the government and retreated to the east to accumulate strength.

As for the north, it's chaos.

Entering the beginning of spring, Ashina Falcon once again led the Turkic army to invade the south, this time with more Turkic warriors, with last year's raids, the Turks had a comfortable winter, for the new southern invasion, morale is very high.

Looking at the northern Central Plains again, how can it be called a tragic word. After experiencing a great drought, rebellion, foreign invasion, and even the oppression of high-ranking officials, those who could run ran away, and most of those who couldn't run died.

Heavy rains continued, the Yellow River burst its banks, and floods flooded.

Stubble after stubble, not to mention the people who are not famous, and are still still the people, then they may not be called the people, if they don't have the heart to snatch and rob, or even eat the same kind, how can they persist until now.

Therefore, most of the rest of the people are strong and ruthless, and with the rise of an even more ruthless person, a rebel army with super combat effectiveness has risen. Plundering the rich homes everywhere they went, the means can be described as cruel, but at the same time, they did not forget to open warehouses and release grain, and then coerce the few remaining people to continue to rob all the way.

By the end of spring, this team had reached nearly 300,000, claiming to be 500,000, with the intention of besieging Taiyuan.

However, Ashina Falcon also had to attack Taehara. Under the strategy of Taiyuan's defender, that is, Sun Shouren, the general of Zhennan, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, the rebel army fought a few battles with Ashina Falcon.

The rebel army was defeated, and finally gathered more than 30,000 people to develop eastward into Yanzhou. And Ashina Falcon was not good, Sun Shouren and Huang Que were behind, and they hurriedly attacked sharply, which also made the Turkic army suffer a bit of a big loss.

Two unsuccessful attacks on Taiyuan, which had a great impact on the prestige of Ashina Falcon, as a last resort, Ashina Falcon had to temporarily give up Taiyuan, and implemented a ruthless move, that is, to plunder all the hundreds of miles around Taiyuan, and burn it that could not be taken away! Kill useless people!

In this way, the morale of the Turkic army can be restored, and the second can besiege Taiyuan, so that it will fall into an isolated and helpless situation.

In the face of such a disgusting method as Ashina Falcon, Rao is Sun Shouren is good at fighting and there is no way, the army in his hands now, if it is in the southern mountainous land, it can still fight with the Turks, but in this flat Central Plains, if you want to face the Turkic army with everyone riding horses, it is no different from looking for death.

So I've been just trying to find a way to win a few times with a strategy and play head-on? Impossible.

"Taiyuan, I can't hold it......" Sun Shouren stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, and couldn't help sighing.

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the soldiers, Sun Shouren's sigh is not for the people of Taiyuan, but for the Liang. As a general of Zhennan, although Sun Shouren is hereditary, his ability to learn is not bad at all. There was once a blood to expand the territory for the Great Liang, but it was rational to know that this was completely impossible, the Zhennan General's Mansion was located in Jingzhou, and its effect was to deter and suppress civil strife, and it was impossible to fight with foreigners. Even, as long as it is peaceful, there will not even be a combat experience in your life.

His ancestors have had enough of this kind of thing.

Sun Shouren also thought that he would be like his ancestors, and he would display his talent without talent. It's just that I never thought that the world was in chaos, and he, Sun Shouren, also had a chance to show his talents.

Unlike other great generals' mansions, the Sun family has always kept a low profile, and in order to make the continuation of the family the first priority, they have no interest in ascending to a high position. Even like the Zhenxi General's Mansion, Xiliang did not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court and did not have the idea of being the emperor of the soil.

The ancestors of the Sun family, if the Xiao family does not live up, the descendants of the Sun family must not have different intentions.

The ancestral precepts cannot be violated, so while being low-key, the loyalty to the royal family is not low, and the generals of Zhennan in the past dynasties are also the most trusted generals by the emperors of all dynasties. The same is true for Sun Shouren.

But loyalty does not mean everything, let alone die-hard loyalty, Sun Shouren, as the current patriarch of the Sun clan, also needs to consider the Sun family, as well as ...... On another level, consider how to serve the royal Xiao family.

Getting close to the Queen Mother Gao Yuyao and obeying Gao Yuyao's dispatch can strengthen the strength of the Sun family and further protect themselves in the troubled times that are very likely to come. Second, there is really no one in the huge royal family who can be the master. At least in Sun Shouren's view, although Gao Yuyao's series of measures are risky, they may not be courageous, and they are better than a straw bag sitting on it and pointing fingers anyway.

In this case, as long as the emperor's surname is Xiao, what if he is a puppet or not? It's like being completely destroyed by a straw bale. At least it's impossible for Gao Yuyao to be the emperor, isn't it.

But Sun Shouren would not blindly press all the treasures on Gao Yuyao, so he had the idea of marrying his daughter to King Tan.

The kings are divided, the contrast is obvious, except for the Tan Wangfu, which has the largest action and the fastest progress in strength, the other princes, the worst even self-protection has become a problem. Therefore, if Xiao Jing, the king of Tan, can ascend to the throne, Sun Shouren doesn't mind mentioning it, their Sun family is loyal to the Xiao family, not just the emperor, as long as the surname Xiao is still in the world, then who the emperor is, Sun Shouren doesn't care.

But no matter what, he was ordered to guard Taiyuan to stabilize the north, but in the end he still had to lose this country that belonged to Daliang, how not to sigh, this is too far from the expansion of territory he once thought.

On that day, taking advantage of the fact that most of the Turkic armies were plundering outside, Sun Shouren led his troops out of the city to completely abandon Taiyuan, and at the same time, there were many people in Taiyuan. There is no way to do this, the Turks have horses, and they don't, trained sergeants can march for a long time, but the people cannot, if they drag, they will inevitably be caught up by the Turks.

No one would want to fight with cavalry on the plains, would they? Therefore, what Sun Shouren can do is to annihilate the few Turkic soldiers outside the city as quickly as possible, and at the same time try not to delay the time of his army, but also let the people in the city have a little more way to live, at least if they run fast, they will not be captured.

Sun Shouren's actions caused a huge panic in Taiyuan City, but all the families with a little family background drove a carriage to catch up, and Taiyuan City, which was protected by the army, was absolutely no longer safe. And ordinary people can only catch up with their legs.

But soon the first batch of old people could not walk, except for a small number of extremely filial people left, most of the others could only endure their grief and continue to follow the traces of the army.

As time progressed, more and more people lagged behind, some wailed and some wailed, but it was impossible for the army to stop because of this, if it could not reach the predetermined place, even if it found a good place to defend, how long could it hold on? Reinforcements? Heh, now the one who has the ability to send reinforcements is Gao Yuyao, even if she will rescue, but at such a distance, the daylilies are cold.

"The order goes down, the whole army rests for half an hour, and hurry up to eat dry food." Looking at the sky and the state of the soldiers, Sun Shouren decisively ordered to rest.

But the next moment, a scout came to report: "General, there is a team of more than 1,000 people more than ten miles to the west, looking at the armament, maybe it is a local official army somewhere." ”

Sun Shouren frowned and said, "More than a thousand people...... Don't pay attention to it, don't waste your energy, just rest. ”

As Sun Shouren guessed, the team of more than 1,000 people passed four or five miles from the side, and the direction they went was the direction in which Sun Shouren and his party came.

Sun Shouren was slightly stunned, the distance of four or five miles is already very close for the army, dare to get close to this point, that team of more than 1,000 people, even if it is an official army, is also bold without any notification, in addition, if you go in the direction of Taiyuan, the time is a little longer, then it is likely to meet the Turkic cavalry who heard the news, in other words, it is no different from looking for death.

But there are more than 1,000 people, so I can delay it a little. Sun Shouren thought so, but they seemed to have a lot of carriages, and I was afraid that there were more than a hundred.

Soon half an hour passed, and Sun Shouren was just about to order the army to march and continue on the road, but he didn't think that the scout would come to report again.

It was still the same team, but the number had grown a lot, except for the old people who were the first to fall behind, and the women and children who fell behind were all rescued by this team, and they were basically placed on the carriage, and in addition, most of the strong people followed the carriage, and only when they were tired would they be allowed to get on the carriage and rest for a while, and then continue to go down and hurry on foot.

There were even people who had the audacity to approach Sun Shouren's army and began to attract those people to join them.

Rescue team? I don't know where it is.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shouren raised his eyebrows, got on the horse and rode for a while, only then did he see clearly the big flag played by the team, and it was written in high letters.

When he sent someone over to ask, Sun Shouren's brows furrowed even more.

"Cheng Huizhou Xuanfu Envoy?" Sun Shouren didn't know about the changes in Chenghuizhou, and he was curious about why Chenghuizhou still had a court official. And even if he returns, the Xuanfu envoy is only in Chenghuizhou, and he actually went all the way to the north to come to the rescue, isn't it very strange.

However, no matter how curious he was, he couldn't delay, and no one knew when the Turkic cavalry behind him would attack, so Sun Shouren had to go. Before leaving, Sun Shouren looked back at the team that was still doing the rescue, and now many people had joined there. With this scene in mind, Sun Shouren beat his horse and left.

Who else can run thousands of miles to pull the population in the north but Zhou Shaoyu? Not to mention that now that Gao Xiujun has the bright identity given by the imperial court, it is more convenient to act. As for the Turkic pursuers? If you don't know for sure, you can't risk coming here.

Ashina Falcon failed to besiege Taiyuan head-on, and he also learned wisely, so he went around plundering and isolating Taiyuan instead. However, the scope of the cleanup is so wide, it is natural to divide the troops to be fast, and the former Turkic princess Ainur Ainur happens to be in charge of the direction due south, so that Ainur, who maintains trade relations with Zhou Shaoyu, gives a certain amount of convenience and cover, isn't it normal.

Of course, for Zhou Shaoyu's non-cooperation in the transaction, Ainul's dissatisfaction has also accumulated to a certain extent, other goods are good, but for Ainur, who wants to revive Asid's honor, how can it be compared to iron?

So this is also the last time Ainur will release his goodwill, and at the same time, he will quietly go south and meet Zhou Shaoyu, of course, it is naturally impossible to go directly to Zhou Shaoyu's territory, it is too dangerous.

After several discussions, it was finally decided to meet in Tanzhou, Fucheng!
