Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 187 King Kong seeks a way out

Jishan.

When Song Jingang learned that Li Zhiyun had led the army and horses, he made some calculations in his heart and found that he was on the weak side.Even though he has Aosheshe's help, Huang Ziying's troops were defeated, and Yu Chigong's support for Taipingguan is unknown. Right now, he can only rely on Aosheshe's troops to barely maintain the Tang army's attack.

Li Zhiyun didn't say anything, the army was always on guard, and ordered the three armies to cast camps, as if they wanted to force Song Jingang to death.

Song Jingang naturally knew that once the Tang army's camp was built, it would be as solid as a rock, so he decisively negotiated with Ao Sheshe to send troops, and tried to break through Li Zhiyun's deployment before the Tang army's camp was successfully built.

However, Li Zhiyun had been prepared for a long time and sent Xie Shufang and Li Junxian to resist tenaciously.

By the end of December, the two sides had fought several battles in Jishan area.

However, Song Jingang became more and more frightened the more he spoke, because there was no echo from Yu Chigong at Taiping Pass.

Finally, Yu Chigong sent back the news that Taiping Pass was lost!

When seeing Yu Chigong, Song Jingang couldn't believe that the weak man in front of him was the strong and brave Yuchi Gong.The current Yuchi Gong is no longer full of energy and blood like before, but very weak.

"Respect!"

Song Jingang supported Yu Chigong, checked his injury, and found that it was very serious.

After questioning, Song Jingang learned that Yu Chigong fought three bloody battles with Tang general Qin Qiong at Taipingguan, without a win, was seriously injured, and escaped by chance.

"Respect!" Song Jingang hugged Yuchi Gong, feeling extremely uncomfortable.He likes this brave and loyal black-faced man very much, and regards him as his confidant.Seeing him in such a serious condition now makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Yuchi said respectfully: "Prince Song, run away quickly, Taiping Pass is lost, we have no food and grass to sustain us, we can't consume what the Tang army has."

"I know, I know, you have a good rest, don't worry, leave everything to me."

After Yu Chigong was settled, Song Jingang summoned people to discuss countermeasures.

Now the initiative is in the hands of Tang Jun. If he wants to attack a decisive battle, Li Zhiyun will definitely not let him do so.The worst result is that Li Zhiyun will not attack, exhaust his food, and then take advantage of the fire to loot.

Therefore, Song Jingang thought that it was unwise to attack by force, and he needed a way out.

But now that Taiping Pass is lost, the king will deal with Li Shimin in Taiyuan, and no one will come to support him, so the road going north will definitely not work.

In this way, only by crossing the river through Longmen can there be a glimmer of life.

"Damn Li Zhiyun, damn Li Shimin!"

Originally, he was in control of the overall situation, but as Li Shimin entered Taiyuan to contain the king, Li Zhiyun pressed hard in Puzhou and dragged on until December.Now the only food road was cut off by Li Zhiyun again, he knew that this trip to the south had failed, and it was a disastrous failure!
After everyone decided on a retreat, Song Jingang found Ao Sheshe and told him that he was going to withdraw his troops.

Ao Sheshe first scolded Song Jingang as garbage, and then said that he wanted the Turkic soldiers to cross the river first.

"Yes." Song Jingang suppressed his anger: "You can cross the river first." Now the army has suffered heavy losses, whoever crosses the river first will survive.And the remaining one will lure and restrain Tang Jun.The Turks almost asked him to die, but he couldn't refuse, because the troops in his hands were completely insufficient to support him against Austrian Sheshe.

Ao Sheshe's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, he wished he could stab Song Jingang to death with a single knife.When he went south, he had [-] soldiers and horses, and more than half of them had been worn out in the battle with the Tang army. Now that he had no food and grass, he was in a desperate situation.

If he had known earlier, he should have stayed in Taiyuan and ran away after grabbing it once.

Ao Sheshe walked up to Song Jingang, grabbed his clothes, and said through gritted teeth: "You'd better handle this matter properly, otherwise I will let Father Khan stop helping Liu Wuzhou."

Subconsciously, he warned Song Jingang to act as a bait honestly and cover his evacuation.

Hearing this, Song Jingang held back his anger and said, "I understand."

The next day, in order to cover the retreat of the Turkic soldiers and horses, Song Jingang personally led an army to attack Zhengping, so as to contain the Tang army's soldiers and horses.

To be honest, Song Jingang's routines looked childish and stupid in front of Li Zhiyun.Li Zhiyun saw through Song Jingang's plan at a glance.

Not long ago, he learned that Qin Qiong had won Taiping Pass.At that time, he immediately summoned Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, Xue Yuanjing and others to discuss countermeasures.

With the fall of Taipingguan, Song Jingang's food and grass were cut off, and he had only two ways to go.One is to counterattack Taiping Pass and withdraw from Jiangzhou.The other is to cross the river from Longmen and return to the north.

But now, Song Jingang attacked Zhengping abnormally, almost telling Li Zhiyun clearly: I want to cross the river from Longmen.

Naturally, Li Zhiyun would not let him do what he wished. When Song Jingang attacked Zhengping, he ordered Chai Shao, Ma Sanbao, and Li Shenfu to lead seven thousand soldiers to Longmen to intercept.

As for Song Jingang's tribe, Li Zhiyun did not send anyone to pursue them, but first ordered Duan Zhixuan to take down Mount Ji, leaving Song Jingang with nowhere to retreat.In this way, they divided the battlefield, cut off the connection between Song Jingang and Ao Sheshe, and then sent Li Junxian, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and others to follow and attack Song Jingang, tortured him until he ran out of troops and food, and then took him down in one fell swoop.

Song Jingang's attack on Zhengping was of course fake, but he did not underestimate Li Zhiyun this time, because he knew very well that Li Zhiyun might see through his strategy.

So, he gave up the Turks!
He did not fight Tang Jun, nor did he attack Zhengping.Song Jingang led his elite soldiers and horses, took enough dry food, and fled directly across Zhengping towards Quwo.

Tang army camp.

Upon receiving the news of Song Jingang's whereabouts, Li Zhiyun was a little puzzled, "What does Song Jingang want to do, Jishan is gone?"

Du Ruhui stared at the map, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, we were deceived by Song Jingang. He didn't plan to cross the river by the Dragon Gate himself, he wanted to enter Taihang Mountain!"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's pupils shrank sharply, walked to the map in two or three steps, and looked at Qu Wo's position.

"Zhi Guanxing!" Li Zhiyun laughed angrily, "Song Jingang, who actually used the Turkic people to contain us in turn, what a guy!"

Originally, they all thought that Song Jingang was covering for the Turks, but now it was Song Jingang who was using the Turks as a cover for him.

Sure enough, cunning!

Li Zhiyun sneered, "You think you can escape?"

"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"

"The end is here!"

"This king ordered you to lead [-] people to Quwo, and force Song Jingang back to this king!"

"As ordered!"

Another day passed, and Longmen was the first to send back news that Chai Shao had already intercepted Aoshe and was currently blocked at the foot of Longmen Mountain.

Li Zhiyun immediately sent someone to tell Chai Shao that he didn't have to attack, but just surrounded him slowly.The more it is consumed, the weaker the Turkic soldiers and horses will be.If necessary, the ships of Longmen can be destroyed to completely cut off the crossing of the Ausheshe River.

Chai Shao received the order and executed it immediately.

And in Quwo, Xie Shufang caught up with Song Jingang, and the two sides fought two bloody battles, each hurting each other, but at this time, Tang Jun's Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian, Luo Shixin and others rushed over one after another.Song Jingang didn't dare to love to fight, so he hurriedly led his army to flee south.

At this time of freezing weather, the crimson water froze, which actually helped Song Jingang escape temporarily.
