"We broke through the siege and went to the Xi Palace. In front of us, there were obstacles from three rivers: Rushui and Suotoushui, and behind us, the army of Middle-earth followed and chased us. We would definitely die. Only by sticking to it can we survive in a desperate situation."

Su Zhi's opinion was immediately opposed by Chuhe Palmer, "There is indeed a possibility of survival when defending, but in the face of the fierce attack of the Central Turkish army, our Mukun tribe will inevitably pay a heavy price, and this price is very likely to destroy the Mukun tribe. Baitan is the only place for the Central Turkish army to go north to attack the Xi Palace. The consequences of persistence will definitely lead to the city being destroyed, and the Xi Palace is the primary target of the Central Turkish army. The Xi Palace also has a disaster of destruction, so we must break through, but the direction of breaking through is not the Xi Palace, but the Yang, Miyun Fort, and the Bashang Plateau."

Yaoyang City is an important city of Mukun tribe, located in the middle of Dayao Shui. From Baitan to more than a hundred miles northwest, Yaoyang City, and more than a hundred miles northwest, the source of Dayao Shui and Baoqiu Water, which is the hinterland of the Bashang Plateau. There is Miyun Fort here, which is the life-saving fortress of Mukun tribe.

Shihe Palmer's intention was obvious. In the critical moment, in order to preserve the strength of the Mukun tribe, in order to preserve the strength of the Mukun tribe, they immediately gave up Baitan City and retreated to the Bashang Plateau along the Dajiao River. They first avoided the enemy's edge, and then waited patiently for the situation to develop. If the Xi tribe won the final victory, the Mukun tribe made a comeback. On the contrary, if the Turks or the Middle-earth people laughed the last, they could only surrender, but no matter what the result was, the Mukun tribe would definitely be preserved.

This strategy was undoubtedly more beneficial than disadvantages for the Mukun tribe. It immediately won unanimous support from the generals of the Mukun tribe. Only Ahui Shijia strongly opposed it, because the Mukun tribe abandoned Baitan City, which was equivalent to helping the Middle-earth people attack the Xi Wang Mansion faster. Therefore, from the standpoint of Ahui Shijia, he would rather sacrifice the Mukun tribe than delay the time when the Middle-earth army attacked the Xi Wang Mansion. This is also the reason why he proposed to use the specialties of the Horse Army to conduct field battles.

The three thousand garrison troops in Baitan City, of which two thousand were Mukun soldiers and one thousand were the other four control strings. Therefore, Ah Hui had relatively weak voice and had to win the support of the other three generals to compete with the Mukun tribe. However, at the critical moment, the generals of the King of the Suihe tribe, Mohefu tribe and Shide tribe took the initiative to stand on Mukun side, and the support department and Palmer's proposal to abandon Baitan to avoid the enemy's edge.

The situation was one-sided. Although Su Zhi was the supreme commander of Baitan City, no one supported his strategy of defending and waiting for assistance. He was suddenly weak and even insisted on it, it was meaningless. He could only follow the good, accept the opinions of most people, break through and leave. In fact, as Ah Hui Shijia said, the Middle-Turkish army lacked a horse army and was good at attacking tough problems, while the Xi army had more horse army and few infantry. Sticking to the city is to attack the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings. Since this is the case, why should we still stick to the city and compete with the Middle-Turkish people for the gains and losses of a city and a place?

Since we want to break through, the purpose is of course to preserve our strength, we must avoid the enemy's edge, so there is only one choice left, and retreat to the Bashang Plateau. After weighing the pros and cons, Su Zhi immediately made a decision, abandoned Baitan, and immediately retreated to Yaoyang City. Then, using favorable terrain such as the Bashang Plateau and the three rivers to give full play to the special skills of the Horse Army, guerrilla warfare, frequently attacked the Middle-Turkish army, and attacked the Middle-Turkish food routes to achieve the goal of restraint and help the Xi Palace stay for a longer time.

In the face of the enemy, in times of crisis, unity and work together is the most important thing. Now there are ways to protect the interests of Mukun tribe and other tribes, and to crack down on and contain the Central Turkish army and help the Xi Wangfu defend Fangcheng. At the same time, it also satisfies some of the interests of Ah Hui Shijia. It can be said that he has won multiple goals in one fell swoop. Even if Ah Hui Shijia is a little dissatisfied, he can only keep it in his heart and obey the overall situation.

Next, everyone discussed a plan to break through, but was surprised to find that the Middle-Turkish army placed the main force in the west gate and the south gate to ensure the safety of its own retreat. The east gate was full of water and natural obstacles. Of course, the Middle-Turkish people would not deploy heavy troops. As for the North Gate, it was unknown whether the Middle-Turkish people were not strong enough to take into account or did it on purpose. They only arranged a few troops, and obviously had the intention to escape. In fact, this is a common strategy for the attack. They surrounded three quarts and one. Without the confidence of complete annihilation, in order to prevent the enemy from fighting in despair, they deliberately left a way out for the enemy to escape, thereby accelerating the speed of the attack.

At dusk, it was the time when the alliance army was exhausted and slackened. The north gate of Baitan City suddenly opened wide, and the three thousand Xi tribes whistled out, like wind swaying and clouds. In an instant, it broke out and left.

When Zhou Zhonghe Laiyuan heard the news, he was very surprised and immediately ordered the attack on the city and went down in one go. After Rimu, he successfully captured Baitan City.

September 22nd, at dusk, Guifangcheng.

The King of the Sue He appeared again in the Alliance Commander Camp, but this time he came to negotiate on behalf of himself, but on behalf of the King of the Sue He tribe.

At this moment, Gui Fangcheng was under the absolute control of Wu He Wangyun. Ahuichuan of Qie tribe and the other three generals were arrested and imprisoned, and the troops they led were all detained. Wu He Wangyun could give up Gui Fangcheng at any time, which means that the initial conditions for the two sides' alliance negotiations were met.

Mengba proposed the conditions that Guifang City could be handed over to Li Fengyun, Ah Huichuan, the other three generals and their army intact, or to Li Fengyun, but the premise was that Li Fengyun must allow the Hunhe Wangyun to lead the army and the tribes in the city to safely withdraw from Guifang City.

So far, there is only hatred and no trust between the two sides. Even though the King of the Wushu tribe sacrificed Guifang City, even if King of the Wushu tribe used Ahuichuan, the other three generals and their army as "sentences", this still cannot win Li Fengyun's trust. You can betray Ahuizheng today, who can guarantee that you will not stab me in the back tomorrow? The King of the Wushu tribe is also afraid that Li Fengyun will betray his faith, so King of the Wushu must retreat to a safe area with his army and his clans.

After hearing this, Li Fengyun smiled, "I don't want Gui Fangcheng, nor do I want Ah Huichuan and the other three generals. These are worthless to me."

Mengba suddenly became nervous, "What are your conditions?"

"How many string controls do the King of the King of the Imperial Tribe have?" Li Fengyun asked, "If you can help me take down the Songshan Pass before tomorrow morning and take all the string controls to the Guifang, then how many string controls will the Guifang have?"

Meng Ba hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "About five thousand riders."

Li Fengyun frowned slightly, as if he was suspicious.

"The five armies fought fiercely for more than two months, and suffered losses of soldiers and generals. Among them, the Hunhewang tribe suffered thousands of casualties." Mengba hurriedly explained, "There are currently nearly 500 wounded soldiers stranded under the Ahui tent. After this matter is exposed, there will be a lot of danger. Most of them will die tragically under the Ahui stave."

Li Fengyun nodded slightly and said seriously, "I have only one condition. All the string controls of the King of the Suihe tribe must fight side by side with me and must charge for me."

Mengba did not expect that Li Fengyun was so generous and took the initiative to give him trust, "Do you believe me? Are you afraid that I will betray me?"

"You and I have a deep hatred, but why do you still take the initiative to form an alliance with me?" Li Fengyun asked back.

Mengba smiled bitterly, "Because you are strong enough to destroy my King of Suihe tribe."

Li Fengyun smiled slightly, "When you come back from Songshan Pass tomorrow, you will see my true strength. Then you choose to be an enemy or an ally. The life and death of the King of He is just in your mind."

Meng Ba thought for a while, stood up and bowed, "If you decide, I will reply to my master like this, and then rushed to the Songshan Pass overnight."

"Good!" Li Fengyun agreed.

Li Fengyun has great ambitions. Even if he cannot dominate the world, he still has to seize the northern border. Anzhou's small land is not within his sight at all. At most, it can only be regarded as a small station on the road of life. How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Mengba does not understand Li Fengyun, so of course he cannot understand Li Fengyun's passion.

On September 23, before dawn, the King of Zuohe, Mengba, came out of the pass alone and reported to the general manager Gao Hu, Chi Xiaodou Iron Yi, the guardian A Huiteng of the important pass and the other three generals had been arrested, and the army they led was also detained. The King of Zuohe had completely controlled the pass, and the alliance army could enter the pass at any time.

The general manager Gao Hu smiled and nodded, took out a letter from Li Fengyun's handwritten letter and handed it to Meng Ba.

Mengba knew Chinese characters, and the children of the Xi nobles all learned Chinese scriptures. The Chinese scriptures of the Xi tribe have actually been a long history. This was mainly influenced by the efforts of the Xianbei Tuoba clan to promote the Chinese system after entering the Central Plains. The northern barbarians inside and outside the Great Wall all saw the significance of progress from "Sinicization", so they followed one after another. Although the degree of sinicization of various races was different, learning Chinese characters and studying Chinese scriptures was the basis of sinicization, and the Xi tribe was no exception. Especially after going south to Anzhou, its sinicization speed became faster and faster. The establishment of the Xi King's Mansion is a typical example of the sinicization of the official system.

Li Fengyun is concise and concise. I don’t want the Songshan Pass. This is the key pass of your King of Suihe tribe. You can guard the garrison yourself and find ways to repel the Khitans who are chasing you. As for the troops I sent to attack the key pass, I will return to the ghost side with you.

Mengba was a little dull, Li Fengyun's generosity and courage far exceeded his expectations, and it was very unreal, which scared him.

Before, Li Fengyun refused to accept Guifang, but he felt very abnormal. If something happened, it would be a monster. There must be conspiracy here. Therefore, when he offered up the Songshan Pass, he was very cautious and planned to bargain, so as not to accidentally fall into the trap and let the other party slaughter. The matter was obvious. As long as Li Fengyun's army took over the key pass, the army of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of

Mengba's plan was that he could hand over the key pass, but in case, he left a part of Guanxian and Li Fengyun's army to jointly guard the key pass on the grounds that the Khitans were about to come and the key pass was about to be attacked by the Khitans. In this way, once the four thousand Guanxian fell into the trap, he could still kill him and there was still a glimmer of life.

However, beyond his expectations, Li Fengyun didn't want the Songshan Pass at all. Mengba was strange. Li Fengyun didn't want the ghost side or the Songshan Pass. Then why did he go all the way to break into Xidi? Didn't he say he wanted to regain Anzhou? Since Anzhou was regained, his army would actually control the large and small cities and important passes in Anzhou. Otherwise, how would he prove that he had regained Anzhou? Could it be that Li Fengyun really changed his character to be a saint, keep his promises, and form an alliance with the King of the King of the Suihe tribe to be brothers, and share interests?
