"What happened?" Liu Wuzhou's heart hanged. He vaguely guessed that something happened to the Turkic army.

"News came from Lingqiu County and the signs of the Northern Sui Army were found."

"Ah!" Liu Wuzhou was shocked all of a sudden. Did the Northern Sui army appear?

For several years, the Northern Sui army never stepped into Feihu County. Liu Wuzhou also knew that the Northern Sui army was using himself to restrain the Tang Dynasty, so he was never worried that the Northern Sui army would attack Yanmen County, so he simply cancelled the defense of Lingqiu County.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Zhang Xuan sent troops.

Liu Wuzhou gritted his teeth with hatred, "I knew Zhang Xuan was a despicable and shameless bastard at heart. Why didn't I kill him with one knife back then!"

"King, our family is all in Shanyang County. The defenses in Shanyang County are empty. I am willing to lead the headquarters to guard Shanyang County." Song Jingang's eyes flashed with a cunning light.

Liu Wuzhou was in a state of confusion and did not notice that Song Jingang had different visions. He also wanted to guard Shanyang County, but the Turkic army would arrive at Loufan Pass today and he could not leave.

Song Jingang married Liu Wuzhou's sister as his wife. With this in-law relationship, he was Liu Wuzhou's most trusted confidant. In addition, Liu Wuzhou's brothers have all died in battle. The other tribesmen are either useless or have too much selfishness. Liu Wuzhou has only Song Jingang, the one who can be used. He nodded, "Okay, you can't let the Sui army get supplies, you can set off immediately!"

Song Jingang was ecstatic. He bowed his fists and hurried down. Soon, Song Jingang led the three thousand troops of his headquarters to rush north and ran twenty miles. Song Jingang ordered the army to rest, and he summoned several confidant generals to discuss.

"Everyone knows the current situation. The Sui army has sent troops to Yanmen County. Liu Wuzhou is about to be destroyed. I want to take the opportunity to find another way out and see if there are any good suggestions."

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment. Song Jingang said again: "The situation is critical, we don't have much time anymore. Everyone is my confidant. Let's just say it!"

The general Xunxiang said carefully: "General, is it a way out to surrender to the Sui army?"

Song Jingang shook his head, "If I could surrender to the Sui army, I would have surrendered long ago, and it would not be until today. A real man should dominate the world. How can he live by looking at others' eyes? I will not surrender to Zhang Xuan."

He glanced at the staff member Yao Kai next to him, "Sir, have been silent for the past few months. I think I should have some thoughts!"

Yao Kai was originally an aide to the governor of Youzhou Guo Xuan. Later, he defected to Lu Mingyue and became Lu Mingyue's military advisor. After Lu Mingyue was killed, he followed Song Jingang to Bingzhou to join Liu Wuzhou. However, Liu Wuzhou did not like him and he had no place to go, so he had to follow Song Jingang. He was silent in recent years and only occasionally gave advice to Song Jingang, such as asking Song Jingang to marry Liu Wuzhou's sister was his suggestion.

Yao Kai sighed and said, "Liu Wuzhou is cruel to Bingzhou, and the people of Bingzhou hate it to the core. In order to win the hearts of Bingzhou, Zhang Xuan must kill Liu Wuzhou. The general surrendered to the Sui army is actually the same. We all cannot survive. The general wants to make a comeback, so he can only go west."

"Sir, do you mean to enter the pass?"

Yao Kai nodded, "Yan'an County is the best place to raise an army. Liang Shidu was severely injured in his vitality and retreated to Lingwu County. Li Yuan withdrew his troops in Guanzhong. The counties in the Guanzhong were empty. Isn't this the foundation for the general to prepare?"

Song Jingang was overjoyed, "Sir, the good advice is my heart!"

At this time, his confidant general Lu Chongmao suggested to him again: "The general needs money and food to raise an army in the pass. The money and food plundered by Liu Wuzhou is hoarded in Shanyang County, and the general should take it as funds for the rise."

Another general Zhang Zhuo also said excitedly: "Shanyang County not only has treasures, grains, but also thousands of war horses and countless mule carts. Bei Zhi knew that there were still many sheepskin rafts. Last year, Liu Wuzhou considered crossing the Yellow River and specially prepared it for us."

Everyone was extremely excited. When you said something, Song Jingang was suddenly overjoyed and immediately ordered: "I ordered the entire army to get up and prepare to set off!"

The generals got on the horse and the soldiers also packed up their armor. At this time, Yao Kai whispered to Song Jingang: "I had something to say just now, but I didn't want to surrender to Zhang Xuan, but I believe Zhang Xuan would be happy to see the general go west to the pass, so it's best to send someone to contact the Sui army so that the Sui army can let us go west."

Song Jingang suddenly realized that was Zhang Xuan who let himself leave Hebei and come to Bingzhou? He couldn't help but pat his forehead, "Mr.'s reminder is too timely."

Yao Kai smiled again and said, "The favors must be done. Why don't the general give Liu Wuzhou's whole family to the Sui army? In addition, we can't get so much food. The general can disperse the remaining grain to the people of Shanyang County to win people's hearts. Zhang Xuan must remember the general's goodness. The general may have your and my lives on this matter."

Song Jingang sighed in his heart that he still had to follow the advice of literati in some things. He nodded immediately and said, "Just do what the sir said!"

Song Jingang immediately wrote a text message, sending his confidant soldiers to Yanmen County to send them to the Sui army, and he led 3,000 troops to Shanyang County twenty miles away.

The main force of the Sui army had already reached Zaolin Town, about 30 miles away from Loufan Pass, but the Sui army did not immediately enter Loufan Pass, but stationed next to Zaolin Town. In the tent, Fang Xuanling was writing a letter to Zhang Xuan to report the situation of Bingzhou. Pei Xingyan in the north made a great victory, not only wiped out Fuqibo's Turkic army, but also captured Yangma City. However, the Sui army on the southern front remained unmoved.

According to the plan agreed before sending troops, the task of the Sui army on the southern front was not to seize Loufan Pass. They would remain unmoved and allow the Tang army to capture Loufan Pass. Once the Tang army entered Loufan Pass and attacked Mayi County, they would cut off Loufan Pass and lock the main force of the Tang army in Loufan Pass. At that time, the Taiyuan defenders were less than 10,000, and the Sui army would launch a large-scale attack on Taiyuan from Shangdang County. At that point, half of the land in Bingzhou would return to the Northern Sui.

At this time, a soldier reported at the door of the tent: "You reported to the military advisor, General Su asked the military advisor to go there, saying that there was an important matter to discuss."

Fang Xuanling put down his pen, got up and came out of the big tent, and walked towards the handsome tent.

Fang Xuanling is not the main general. He is only responsible for coordinating the cooperation between Su Dingfang and Pei Xingyan's army, and is also responsible for making suggestions. Su Dingfang, the commander of the Southern Army, but Zhang Xuan had previously ordered that whether Su Dingfang or Pei Xingyan, they must obey Fang Xuanling's orders.

Su Dingfang came to the central army's tent and saw Su Dingfang thinking about something, and smiled and said, "Is there anything that General Su has to do with me?"

Su Dingfang hurriedly said: "There is indeed an important matter to discuss with the military advisor."

He took out a letter and handed it to Fang Xuanling, "This is a letter sent by Song Jingang, just now!"

Fang Xuanling was slightly stunned. What did Song Jingang want to do? He opened the letter and read it. It turned out that Song Jingang was about to lead his army to retreat to the pass.

"Is this just a letter?" Fang Xuanling asked with a letter in his hand.

"Not only that, Song Jingang has already gone to Shanyang County. He will hand over all Liu Wuzhou's family to us for treatment. It is very difficult for the humble position. Please give advice from the military advisor."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and asked with a smile: "What should General Su think he should do?"

Su Dingfang hesitated and said, "Actually, Bei Zhi thinks that if Song Jingang goes to the pass to raise an army, he will become the second Liu Wuzhou, which will greatly consume and restrain the resources of the Tang army. It is a good thing, but how can we bargain with the treacherous thieves? If such a thing is spread, it will always feel a little bit of self-destruction."

"Then don't pay attention to Song Jingang and just think that you don't know anything. The general can directly send troops to attack Shanyang County. If Song Jingang escapes, the general should not chase him." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"I understand!"

Su Dingfang immediately ordered: "Let General Luo Cheng come to see me!"

At night, bad news came to Loufan Pass one by one. First, the defenders of Shanyang County heard that Song Jingang captured all members of the Liu family. Liu Wuzhou's uncle and two cousins ​​were beaten to death by sticks on the streets of Shanyang County. Liu Wuzhou's sister and wife hanged themselves. The three sons disappeared. Song Jingang immediately swept all the wealth, food and thousands of war horses in the warehouse and retreated northwest.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Liu Wuzhou cry without tears. He never expected that Song Jingang, whom he had always trusted, would do such a crazy thing. Liu Wuzhou was so angry that he almost fainted. This time, Kang Shuoli sent someone to send another terrible news. Fuqibo's Turkic army had been defeated by the Sui army. Kang Shuoli decided to retreat to the Turkic. He suggested that Liu Wuzhou retreat immediately and make a comeback when the time was right.

Two consecutive news broke Liu Wuzhou. He was completely confident and didn't know what to do. At this time, the news of Song Jingang plundering Shanyang quickly spread throughout the army, causing an uproar. Most of the soldiers' families were in Shanyang County. If something happened in Shanyang County, how could the soldiers continue to defend the city with peace of mind?

The army, which was already in a low morale, finally broke out in a wave of escape. Seeing that the destruction was about to be destroyed, no one wanted to work hard for Liu Wuzhou. In just one hour, the five thousand troops fled more than 4,000 people, and only hundreds of Liu Wuzhou's personal soldiers were left in Loufan Pass.

At this time, more than a dozen personal soldiers rushed to Liu Wuzhou's room and saw that Liu Wuzhou was disheveling his head and drinking, and he was already a little drunk. The personal soldiers shouted: "King, brothers have all run away, let's go quickly! As soon as the sky is dawn, the Tang army is about to attack the city."

Liu Wuzhou asked drunkenly, "Go? Where else can I go?"

"Go to the Turks, didn't Kangshaoli let the general retreat north? There is still a chance to fight back in the future."

Regardless of whether Liu Wuzhou was willing or not, the personal soldiers put on his armor and forcibly mounted him on a war horse. At this time, the personal soldiers had already brought all the supplies, and hundreds of personal soldiers boarded the horses, and the army surrounded Liu Wuzhou and ran away outside the city.

"Wait a minute!"
Chapter completed!
