Chapter 246: Goodbye Li Yuan

After the Shaozhu ceremony was sacrificed to Bibei Town Temple, Li Chongjiu immediately led the victorious army from Liaoxi County and returned directly to the Mulan Grassland.

When the army passed by the Khanate of the Xi tribe, after hearing that Li Chong had won nine great victories to capture the western Liaoning and Liaodong counties and defeated the Goguryeo people, the Khanate of the Xi tribe also made a move.

It would be fine if it was captured by Liaodong, but Goguryeo is a major country in Liaodong, several times stronger than Khitan and Mohe. Li Chongjiu was able to defeat Goguryeo and return the entire army after breaking the city, which was enough to make these elders have a new estimate of Li Chongjiu. At present, the elders of the Xi clan were all waiting for Li Chongjiu's triumphant army ten miles away from Yu Khan's court.

These elders were also snobbish. When they saw Li Chongjiu, they seemed to have no grudges between each other. Li Chongjiu had never been "retired" and left the wilderness. The elders even lowered their feet and paused their chests, regretting their original appearance, saying that the Turks, Khitans, and the insulting Hewang tribe were not bad, so that they could bow down and let them sign the city alliance. Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu's command was like the king Ma Han and Yuchi Gong, and the Han generals were all sneering, while Ying Hefu and his ungrateful look on their faces.

Li Chongjiu's great victory not only expanded its territory, conquered Dingling, the two counties in western Liaoning, and Liaodong and western Liaoning, and greatly increased its strength. If not, how could these elders "wake up" so quickly? Now I heard that the King of the King of the King of the Wuhe tribe had made great efforts to cede the King of the Shi He tribe, and a piece of pasture next to the Qinshui of Wuhou was given to the Mohefu tribe. Then these elders became anxious and thought about the mighty spirit of Li Chongjiu leading them to defeat the Khitans. So now I beg Li Chongjiu to come forward to seek justice from the King of the King of the King of the King of the Wuhe tribe.

I really want you when it is useful, and I will keep you aside when it is not available.

Li Chongjiu had already experienced this kind of love in his previous life, and no one came through that, so he thought about it. If it weren't for the support of these elders, he would not be able to inherit the position of Khan, and not to mention that Shi Deyun's mother was there. Compared with his personal honor and disgrace, Shi Deyun's feelings were much more important.

So Li Chongjiu did not take the opportunity to show his ugliness to the elders and agreed to negotiate with the King of the King of the Suihe to deal with the matter. Of course, Li Chongjiu would not let them go lightly. He also proposed the Wansheng Army's plan in front of the elders. Li Chongjiu meant to let the tribal leaders of the Xi tribe incorporate all their children into the Wansheng Army and guard the Yuyi Town as Li Chongjiu's personal army.

The elders of the Xi clan were not stupid people. They knew this, which was equivalent to handing over all the children of the clan to Li Chongjiu, disguised as a disguised person. However, the elders of the Xi clan were all considerate people of the current affairs. After discussing for a while, they agreed. They included 600 noble children of the Xi clan, as well as 300 children of the heads of the Wuhou Qinshui, including Wuhou, Tiele, Khitan, Shiwei and other leaders who had originally relied on the Khanate, forming a Wansheng Army. This was a happy result. In addition to Wang Mahan's cavalry group, Li Chongjiu's personal army deployed an elite group of grassland cavalry.

After the Wansheng Army formed an army, he suddenly became a magistrate, Cui Xu, Etuo, and Ying Hefu and others were about to take all the other grassland tribes to disperse. When Li Chongjiu heard about Li Hu, Su Su actually rushed to the Xi Khan Court. Li Chongjiu knew that Su Su was a county magistrate, and that he could leave his post and come to the grassland khan court in person was not a small matter.

After Li Chongjiu met the two in the Khan Court, he realized that it was for the matter of Yanmen County.

It turned out that after the beginning of spring, Liu Wuzhou led an army of 10,000 to surround Fanshi County. Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian led their troops to defend the lonely city, resisting day and night, and held for half a year, but the scoundrels' food and grass were about to be exhausted. During this period, Chen Xiaoyi kept writing letters to the south, all the way to Taiyuan and Jiangdu, and sent people to rescue Li Yuan and Yang Guang. However, the letters were like rocks sinking to the sea, and there was no reply. Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian seemed to know that the situation was going to be gone, and they still devoted themselves to their duties and loyalty. Every morning and evening, they knelt down to the room where the emperor's imperial edicts were stored. Although the defenders in the city were loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, they were already panicked at this moment.

Li Chongjiu also understood what Su Su and Li Hu meant. When Yanmen was surrounded, he also gave Chen Xiaoyi one after another. Wang Zhi had distinguished himself, hoping that they would surrender to Shanggu County so that they could send troops to rescue Yanmen, or use this as an excuse to negotiate with Liu Wuzhou, but Chen Xiaoyi flatly refused, and even cut off the right ear of the envoy, and even scolded Li Chongjiu for being a traitor in front of the envoy, which was incompatible with him.

When Li Chongjiu saw the messenger's miserable appearance, he was immediately furious. He simply ignored the affairs of Yanmen County and focused on opening up to the east.

Now the Fanshi County is about to be destroyed. If you ignore it, then after being occupied by Liu Wuzhou, the east side of Shanggu County will border Liu Wuzhou and directly face the powerful soldiers of Dingyang Khan. At that time, there will be no buffer between the two families, and Li Chongjiu must invest heavy troops to the east to prevent Liu Wuzhou.

Su Su and Li Hu both mean the same thing, with their lips and teeth cold. Even if Chen Xiaoyi did not surrender Li Chongjiu, he had to send troops to save Fanshi County at this moment. Li Chongjiu nodded. When he was the general of Yingyanglang in Huaihuang Town, Chen Xiaoyi still supported him a lot and still still accepted his feelings. Although Chen Xiaoyi was not intimate, he had no selfish intentions in dealing with things, and was all for the court. Although Li Chongjiu was very unhappy about being humiliated by the envoy, he thought about it and still admired such a person very much.

So Li Chongjiu decided to lead his army to support him, and he had to put on the battlefield again just after getting off the saddle.

At that time, Li Chongjiu led the Tucao Regiment, and the newly formed Wansheng Army of 2,500 cavalrymen were ahead, while Yuchi Gong and Zhao Quanting led 3,000 county soldiers to follow up and enter Yanmen County through the Great Wall. At the same time, Li Hu went to Huaihuang Town to guard against the Turks, while Su Su secretly went from Zhuo County to Shanggu, and led 2,000 county soldiers, 3,000 new soldiers, and the 500 cavalry stationed in Lingqiu County, and went to Feihukou to rescue Fanshi County in two ways.

As for Ying Hefu, Etu and other four commanders, they carried Li Chongjiu's golden arrows and dispatched troops to the grassland divisions, gathered and prepared to advance westward. The military situation was like fire, and Li Chongjiu led the cavalry to get rid of the infantry and rushed all the way. Within ten days, they arrived at the foot of Fanshi County. The lonely city she saw was surrounded by Liu Wuzhou's army three layers inside and three layers outside.

Liu Wuzhou's army under the city was attacking the city. Liu Wuzhou's army dispatched a ladder car to attack the city, and the defenders on the city threw the oil bottles with rolling wood and fought bravely. The beacons around the city were everywhere, and the city tower was burning with raging fires, collapsing little by little. The situation in Fanshi County is now like a dangerous egg, which can be broken in an instant. Li Chongjiu immediately ordered his left and right to erect his big flag in the north of the city, and there was no doubt that he had already arrived inside and outside the city.

As expected, when he saw Li Chongjiu's flag, Liu Wuzhou's army under the city was like a wave, and the momentum of attacking towards the city was stopped. The sound of gold blowing trumpet sounded outside the city. The siege army returned to the camp, and then a cavalry of more than a thousand people set up formations in the direction of the hill where Li Chongjiu's flag was located.

Now the Cangtou army is rushing thousands of miles away, and they are all trapped and exhausted. Where can they get the strength to fight? However, Liu Wuzhou's move is obviously very afraid of Li Chongjiu.

Then Liu Wu and Zhou's army sent an envoy to Li Chongjiu's formation. The envoy was also an old acquaintance of Li Chongjiu before, and Huang Ziying, the general who had been on a mission.

Huang Ziying immediately opened the mountain and said, "Envoy Li, our Khan has always been very respectful to our feet. The two families have always been in good condition and never fought. Before, the Khan of the Turks intentionally raised an army to attack Huaihuang Town several times, but they were all dissuaded by our Khan. They spoke well for the envoy in front of the Turks. Now the envoy leads the army to interfere in our attack on the city. Isn't this avenge for kindness and revenge? It not only makes our country very indignant, but also makes people and gods angry!"

Seeing Huang Ziying talking all the same thing, and it was so open and so arrogant. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile and said, "General Huang Lang misunderstood. I led my army here not to interfere with the attack on the city of Dingyang Khan, but to help you with his armies. When I attacked the Khitan, did Dingyang Khan also lead the three armies to station in the west of Huaihuang Town, shaking flags and shouting for me?"

"This!" Huang Ziying was speechless.

Li Chongjiu continued to say with a sincere expression: "I have always remembered this love in my heart. It is impolite to come and not come back. Today, I am also leading the army here to cheer for Khan. If Khan takes care of the strong city, please tell me generously, and I am willing to lead the army as the front drive."

"You!" Huang Ziying was so angry that she shivered and said, "Okay, I am worthy of being the envoy Li who is trembling on the grassland. My Khan has recorded this love."

At that moment, Huang Ziying rode his horse back to the camp, and Li Chongjiu's subordinates laughed when they saw him.

Wen Yanbo came forward and said, "Emister, Liu Wuzhou is only a Turkic dog, but beating a dog depends on the owner. Turkic acts as a big enemy. If you are stumbled in front of a tiger, you must be careful."

Li Chongji nodded and said, "The Turkic Shibi Khan is seriously ill. The Turkic internals are busy fighting for the Khan's position and have no time to look south. We will be arrogant for a few days at this moment."

Seeing Li Chongjiu declining himself so much, the generals also laughed.

After Li Chongjiu and outside the city, Liu Wuzhou stopped siege. A few days later, Yuchi Gong, Zhao Quanting, Su Su and Gao Chu all led their troops to arrive. The Li Chongjiu army gathered under the Yanmen City reached 11,000, which exceeded Liu Wuzhou's military strength.

Liu Wuzhou had only three thousand reinforcements who had just arrived from Mayi County, and felt that the pressure increased greatly. So he narrowed his siege of Fanshi County. Li Chongjiu took advantage of this gap and secretly transported some of the military rations into Fanshi County in the night, which immediately solved the danger of food shortage in the city. The next day, when Liu Wuzhou's army learned the news, his morale was even more severe.

When Li Chongjiu thought Liu Wuzhou was going to retreat, he suddenly saw a large army appearing on the southern cage. The soldiers of this army were all wearing iron armor, obviously an elite army, and the flag was the Hehong flag of the Great Sui Dynasty.
