.

Buyi was shocked when he heard the names of Wen Yuzhou and Li Caiyu. The starting lineup Yuzhou was Ma Sanbao. When Liu Wuzhou went to Hedong, it was said that Li Caiyu fell off the cliff and died, and Ma Sanbao was also missing. After Xiao Buyi learned the news, he only sighed for a moment, and then threw the affairs of these two people aside.

Remember what you should remember, forget what you should forget, the years are ruthless, and in his great cause of conquest, he really can't worry too much.

When he heard that Li Caiyu was not dead, Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Li Caiyu is Li Yuan's daughter and the leader of the Guanzhong Detachment of Women's Army. If she is not dead, why don't she go back to Guanzhong? Could it be... she acted on Li Yuan's order?" Xiao Buyi's guess was reasonable, but he had never thought that he had accidentally pushed Wen Yuzhou to Guanzhong and successfully transferred Chai Shao's hatred towards him to Wen Yuzhou.

This kind of entanglement changes a lot. Even though Xiao Buyi thought about it, he would not have thought that Li Caiyu had been discouraged and lazy. Chai Shaoxuan said that she was dead, so she simply followed the flow and left Hedong and went to the grassland with Wen Yuzhou.

When Yu Shinan heard Xiao Buyi's inquiry, he shook his head and said, "Li Caiyu doesn't seem to want to go back to Guanzhong now. I think she... seems to be very interesting to Wen Yuzhou."

Xiao Buyi thought about Li Caiyu's character and had already realized it. He nodded and said, "What's next?"

"We have been entangled with the powerful army these days. In order to capture us, we really spared no effort. It can be seen that... he hated Dongdu very much." Yu Shinan said: "But with Miss Pei's strategy, there has been nothing wrong. We happened to meet Wen Yuzhou and Li Caiyu by chance. Wen Yuzhou also knew about our affairs and kindly helped us get out of trouble, so he took us to another secret passage to hide. The secret passage was the last part of the Northern Zhou Dynasty when the princess sent people to dig for restoring the country.

But what people didn't expect was that Li suddenly mobilized a large army to surround the place."

Yuchi Gong said, "Actually, Li wanted to pull out the Dark Angels by placing them out of the roots when he captured you. This way he could go south with confidence. Your escape route was towards Chita, which coincided with the direction he expected. This is also a coincidence."

"If it weren't for a coincidence, Brother Yuchi wouldn't have touched us." Yu Shinan smiled and said, "You might be better if the rest of the things."

Yuchi Gong did not postpone it. He said straight: "Liu Wuzhou was defeated and fled to the grassland to seek protection. At first, he wanted to rely on Ke Dun. Later, Ke Dun also surrendered to Li. He wanted to borrow troops to conquer the world again. I had many disagreements with him. But he still obeyed his orders and joined the team to capture Yu Shangshu."

"Of course, arrest is not the purpose. Waiting for an opportunity to rescue is Brother Yuchi's original intention." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Yuchi Gong smiled slightly. "I am exactly this idea. But I am not sure how to save it. Although Zu Junyan is not good at martial arts, he is good at civil engineering and is also proficient in information institutions. Miss Pei followed Wen Yuzhou to the secret path of the earth north Zhou that year. Zu Junyan actually tracked it over and broke the mechanism and approached the center of the secret path. I was very anxious at that time and even wanted to kill him. But Changsun Shunde kept following Zu Junyan. I didn't have the chance to start."

Xiao Buyi frowned. "I heard that Changsun Shunde is very wise. With him, he is here. The situation is not optimistic."

"But later... Zu Junyan died." Yuchi Gong said.

Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows. "Who killed him?"

"I don't know." Yuchi Gong shook his head, "But before he died, he had already attacked directly to the hinterland of the secret passage. I led two Turkic soldiers all the way over, and then met Miss Pei's coachman. The coachman was so powerful that he killed two of my subordinates as soon as he took action. I lost to him. Fortunately, Miss Pei recognized me, so he did not die."

Few people know about Lu Shixiong's identity, Lu Laosan and Bat are not aware of it, and Xiao Buyi does not know about the coachman's reputation, so he was surprised to hear that even Yuchi Gong could not beat Hu Lu Shixiong.

But I think Pei Mingcui is always capable of being the only one who can't do it, and it's not surprising that the coachman is very skilled in martial arts. Seeing Xu Shiji listening with concern, he asked for him: "What's going on later?"

"Later, Miss Pei said that to me, advising me to live like a flash of time, don't waste it anymore." Yuchi Gong sighed, "I heard her words and thought that a weak woman had such a high opinion. I, Yuchi Gong, claimed to be a hero, was hesitant, but fell into a inferior position, so I decided to surrender to the King of Xiliang. At that time, Miss Pei came up with another plan, saying that since my two subordinates were dead, I could use the Yumu Mianzhu strategy to bring people to pretend to be Turkic soldiers. Then... I brought Yu Shangshu out, Miss Pei,

There were many capable people under his command, and he cleverly disguised himself as my personal soldiers and changed his clothes. Even if I couldn't notice it for a while, I took Yu Shangshu out of the mountain and took the opportunity to return south. The Turkic soldiers were concentrated near Chita and searched along the mountain. There were not many soldiers in the camp and outside, but they were empty. In addition, many Turkic soldiers went to Dingxiang. Before the New Year, the snow disaster in the grassland was severely damaged and the benefits were gained, so I wanted to go south to plunder wealth. Only then did I have the ability to turn back safely."

Xiao Buyi couldn't help asking: "In fact, the method of mixing fish with pearls may not necessarily bring only one person. It should not be difficult for Miss Pei to mix it in batches."

Yuchi Gong looked to Yu Shinan and said, "This is probably something that I have to ask Shangshu Yu to tell you. It is not that I can't take Miss Pei away, but that she doesn't want to leave. Because when I entered the secret passage and met Miss Pei, Changsun Shunde was there too!"

Xiao Buyi was shocked, "He is alone?"

"Yes, he is just alone." Yuchi Gong said: "In the secret room in the hinterland, in addition to Miss Pei and his group of people, there were also Wen Yuzhou, Li Caiyu, and an old woman. There was only Changsun Shunde on the Turkic side."

"General Yuchi probably doesn't know at all. In fact, Zu Junyan was killed by Changsun Shunde!" Yu Shinan said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned and asked in unison, "Why did Changsun Shunde kill Zu Junyan?"

Yu Shinan explained: "Wen Yuzhou took us to the Beizhou Secret Road to live and spent a quiet period because the old woman, Wen Yuzhou's aunt Yuwen Zhi, was not there. But later the Turkic soldiers began to search for the Beizhou Secret Road. Zu Junyan made great efforts to find the Beizhou Secret Road, and finally alarmed Yuwen Zhi. After Yuwen Zhi came out, he scolded Wen Yuzhou for being unfilial and causing trouble. Everyone was actually embarrassed at that time and wanted to find another way out. However, Zu Junyan led the Turkic soldiers to attack the land and left even if he wanted to leave.

No. Later, Zu Junyan broke through several ambushings, and was about to attack the hinterland of the secret path. Even Yuwen Zhi was helpless. At that time, Miss Pei didn't know what to talk to Yuwen Zhi, so she actually made the violent old woman look at her differently. Everyone finally worked together to fight against the Turkic soldiers. Yuwen Zhi said that although there was a secret room to retreat, it was difficult to guarantee that Zu Junyan would still know her. Hulu Shixiong wanted to assassinate Zu Junyan at that time, but it was not done. At the critical moment, Changsun Shunde suddenly came to us."

Xiao Buyi murmured to himself: "What exactly does he want to do?"

Nandao: "When Changsun Shunde came in, his sword was covered with blood. He used Zu Junyan to Pei Mingcui. It was very difficult to break the local authorities based on the Turkic people's words. If he wanted to leave, he came to lead the way. But although Yuwen Zhi was paralyzed, he wanted to attack him when he saw Changsun Shunde. He really couldn't tell that the old woman was so crazy." Yu Shinan was still scared, "At that time, Yuwen Zhi pointed at Changsun Wuji and said, "A Sui family, do you still have the face to come to the grassland? Then she ordered Wen Yuzhou to kill Changsun Shunde. The situation was really messy at that time..."

Xiao Buyi understood these grievances and frowned and said, "Why did Changsun Shunde kill Zu Junyan?"

Yu Shinan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Later, Miss Pei said that Changsun Shunde is definitely not the murderer. If Yuwen Zhi wants to know the truth, she will ask a few questions. Changsun Shunde is optional, and that old woman... is a bit unreasonable. At this time, General Yuchi came, and he also said what happened next. I and him took the opportunity to go back. Miss Pei didn't want to leave. She told me that she had to know some things and stay in the grassland for the time being. Bats, Lu Laosan and others also wanted to stay behind. Aoshishi was worried about his father's safety and stayed there. To be ashamed, I was useless. Staying there was only to drag everyone down, so it was a turn."

After hearing this, Xu Ji comforted him: "Shishu Yu was too guilty, but Dun was determined to go against us. It would be the same if he had any other choice."

Xiao Buyi said: "Shiji is right. Even if I go, I will cut down Kedu at most. But if I stop the Turkic troops from moving south, there is no way to do anything. This is one time and another. Good land, since it is useless, you don't need to think too much. Shinan has worked hard all the way, and it is a temporary rest.

Brother Yuchi, please invite me if you have something to do.”

Yu Shinan retreated, and Yuchi Gong clasped his fists and said, "If you have something to do, please give me instructions."

Xiao Buyi said: "Actually, Brother Yuchi has just arrived in Dongdu, so he didn't want you to run around."

"I was born to be busy and I couldn't be idle." Yuchi Gong smiled.

"I am going to fight Hedong at the moment, but I lack the generals familiar with Hedong. Brother Yuchi was so majestic that he fought Hedong. I intend to ask Brother Yuchi and I to join hands to fight Hedong again!"

Xiao Buyi made a request with a sincere expression. Yuchi Gong's eyes flashed and he said in a calm voice: "The situation is clear now. The battle in Hedong is of great importance. Don't worry, let me lead the army?"

Xiao Buyi said: "I'm afraid you can't let go of your heart!"

Yuchi Gong raised his thick eyebrows and finally nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid that someone will see me as a rebel general, and it will inevitably be suspicious and affect the marching."

"General Qin and General Cheng have all been to Wagang, and now they are respected by thousands of troops with their heart and courage! In fact, it is easy to do things in the army, and it is difficult to say it. You are a hero, so don't worry about using nothing here!" Xiao Buyi said: "Yuchi Gong, I believe you are a hero!"

Yuchi Gong's passion was stirred in his heart for a long time. Looking at Xiao Buyi's expectant gaze, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, Yuchi Gong is willing to invite troops to fight the Tang army again in Hedong!"

**

Guanzhong is a place of four barriers, but Shanxi is a place of four battles.

All dynasties have favored Shanxi.

Many disputes in the world depend on Shanxi. Because Shanxi is sandwiched between the two corners of the world's chess game, it can be taken to Guanzhong, fight against Hebei, resist invasion, and govern the world internally. In the time of chaos in the world, it is often much easier to occupy Shanxi, traverse and dominate the world, and often dominate the world much easier than other regions.

Taiyuan and Hedong are the top priority in Shanxi. The east side of Taiyuan is the Jingguan that passes the Taihang into Hebei. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, it sent troops from Jingguan. However, in history, it has often used Hedong as a springboard to cross the Yellow River and attack Guanzhong. Defending Hedong, many times, it is to defend Guanzhong!

If the Yellow River is considered a natural shield in Guanzhong, Hedong is considered an artificial gate in Guanzhong.

Although Li Jing sent a surprise attack on Wuguan and threatened Guanzhong, although he was aggressive, in Li Yuan's mind, as long as he resisted it with his regular troops, he would not have done much. If Hedong was lost, it would be the biggest threat. It was because of Liu Wu and Zhou Dynasty that Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to lead his troops to resist in Baibi, and he crossed the Yellow River many times and commanded the battle in Puban.

By now, Xiao Buyi has the opportunity to attack Shanxi, so Li Yuan of course set up heavy troops in Hedong. However, although Shanxi has a majestic Taihang blocking Hebei, the front line is quite long. Li Yuan is entrusted to Hedong, so he naturally loses the other. Xiao Buyi and Yuchi Gong think about it over and over again and finally decided to lengthen the front line, and the troops leave the well and attack Taiyuan!

Taiyuan's troops are relatively weaker than Hedong. Moreover, if they attack Taiyuan, it will definitely make it difficult for Li Shentong to take into account both the head and tail. If Li Shentong supports Taiyuan, Pei Xingyan and Shi Danai take the opportunity to attack Shangdang. If Li Shentong does not rescue him, Xiao Buyi will attack Taiyuan with all his strength!

Xiao Buyi has sent troops, and the first battle is Shiai City, the easternmost part of Shanxi.

Shi Ai is not a big city, it is hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan. When you walk through Shi Ai, you are Shouyang and Yuci. If you go down to Yuci and pass Huangshe Ridge, Taiyuan City is already in sight.

Xiao Buyi started attacking Shi Ai City at dusk!

There were only tens of thousands of people around Shi Ai and only thousands of defenders. Xiao Buyi's soldiers rushed to Shi Ai City in rushing to the front of Shi Ai City in thunder.

Tang Jun was shocked.

Hebei has been fighting for years. In fact, Li Tang has considered that the East Metropolis sends troops from the well. If the East Metropolis sends troops, Shi Ai will be the first city. The people have been panic for a long time. Some land has taken their families to the grassland or go to the southern part of Hebei to avoid disasters, so as to avoid fire in the city gate and harming fish in the pond.

Everyone knows that Shanxi will fight sooner or later, and Hebei will be closer, so there will be no wars there for the time being, but instead it will become a place for the people to shelter. As for the war in southern Youzhou, even the people think that it will be difficult for the Tang army to break through the blockade of the Western Liang army.

The Tang army guarding the city did not expect to hold on for too long, but when the Xiliang army rushed to the ground, they realized that Shi Ai City could not hold on for a night.

The army is approaching, dust is rushing to the sky, and the bullfighting is swallowed!

When the Xiliang army came from afar, the world was fascinated by it.

The city soldiers only saw a black cloud rolling from the east, catching the golden afterglow of the sunset. The mountains seemed to be shaking, the earth seemed to be moving, and the city was attacked by murderous aura, and they couldn't help but tremble.

The first order of the city guard was to close the East City Gate immediately and prepare for the battle, but he issued the second order in a flash, opened the West City Gate, and reported the news to Shouyang for his life.

When the Tang soldiers received the order, they abandoned the city without hesitation and fled.

The Western Liang army was too fierce and too many, so they were by no means opponents. Since this is the case, it would be wise to abandon the city and gather troops to fight again.

But more than 2,000 Tang soldiers had left the west of the city for more than ten miles, and saw a team of cavalry rushing towards them. Their power was like a tiger and their wind was like a dragon.

The iron-armored cavalry took a detour early and arrived at the west of the city to prevent the Tang soldiers from abandoning the city and fleeing. The King of Xiliang had an order that from today on, the main focus would be on eliminating the Tang army's new forces. Since this is the case, they would not gather to resist again.

As soon as the cavalry appeared, the Li Tang army had changed its face. Although the leading generals tried their best

But under the reputation of the black armored iron cavalry, the Tang army is eyeing the current land forces again, how dare they fight?

The Li Tang army fled in scattered and the iron-armored cavalry rushed back and forth, killing nearly a thousand enemies, and returning to victory. At this time, Xiao Buyi had already arrived at the city of Shi Ai.

The man in Xiao Bu entered the city wearing golden armor and sunset, just like a god descending to earth. After entering the city, he immediately took Shi Ai as the base camp in the rear. The first order was that those who disturb the people would be responsible for their own reluctance! However, the second order was that the people were not allowed to allow them, and those who left the city without authorization would be killed!

When the people of Shi Ai City heard this, they were all overjoyed. Although they didn’t say that they were beating drums and drums, the situation in the city was stable.

At this time, the successor army arrived continuously. Xiao Buyi led 100,000 Xiliang Army and appointed himself as the general manager of the marching. He took Yuchi Gong as his deputy and led dozens of powerful generals to personally conquer Shanxi.

It was originally expected that it would be easy to remove Shi Ai City. Xiao Buyi and Yuchi Gong ordered the soldiers to make some rectifications. By dawn, most of the siege equipment had been transported to Shi Ai.

Xiao Buyi ordered soldiers to dig trenches and dig trenches on Mengshan in the northeast corner of Shi Ai City, and to set up a camp to make a well and pass outpost. Many soldiers were puzzled and thought that this place was hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan City and there were no heavy troops to attack. Why should we prepare for the army when it came?

But if you don’t understand, the King of Western Liang has an order, who dares not obey?

The Western Liang army had been in war for many years, and had long been clearly ordered and efficient. Digging trenches, digging trenches, and comforting the people, and delivering equipment was all in order. When Yuchi Gong saw it, he was delighted. Although the Liu family army was strong back then, he had no long-term plans. After Liu Wuzhou occupied Taiyuan, he was even more unprofitable, short-sighted and did not engage in production, which led to the lack of food in the army and was defeated. Xiao Buyi made steady progress and gradually advanced. Even if he could not win quickly, he would slowly push it over and finally achieve hegemony.

Everyone thought that the iron-armored cavalry won with speed, and even thought that Xiao Buyi was good at taking dangerous moves, but he didn't know that his current stability was also a unique one.

The supplies and food had arrived early in the morning. At this time, the camp in front of Mengshan had already reached a large scale. Xiao Buyi did not transport the supplies and food to the city, but instead ordered them to transport them to the camp to guard, for fear that others would rob them.

Everyone didn't understand why Xiao Buyi was far away from the nearest and took advantage of the situation. They just thought he was cautious and did everything.

After the arrangements were secure, the soldiers in the city were ready to go. Xiao Buyi was in charge of the central army and ordered Miao Haichao to lead 5,000 troops to take Leping southwest of Shi Ai City. He ordered five,000 troops to recruit thousands of people in the city and seize the spring wheat in a radius of hundreds of miles.

Although Dongdu has sufficient food and grass supply, Xiao Buyi's strategy of using war to support the war has never changed. Since the enemy has food, it is enough to steal it. Dongdu's resources can be saved.

Of course, there is a deeper intention here, that is, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. If the opponent comes, he will not be able to grab a grain of food!

One rises and the other falls, which seems insignificant, but sometimes it is a means of winning or losing in marching and combat.
To be continued...
