Chapter 245 Goodbye Li Yuan
After offering sacrifices to Bibei Town Temple at the ceremony of Shaolao, Li Chongjiu led the victorious army from Liaoxi County directly back to Mulan Grassland.

When the army passed by the Khan Court of the Xi Clan, they heard the news that Li Chongjiu had conquered Liaoxi and Liaodong Counties and defeated the Goguryeo people, and there was movement in the Khan Court of the Xi Clan.

Conquering Liaoxi, Liaodong is nothing, but Goguryeo is a big country in Liaodong, several times stronger than Khitan and Mohe. Li Chongjiu can defeat Goguryeo, and the whole army returns after breaking the city, which is enough to make these elders re-evaluate Li Chongjiu .At present, the elders of the Xi clan are all ten miles away from Khan Court, waiting for Li Chongjiu's triumphant army.

These elders are also snobbish. When they saw Li Chongjiu, it seemed that the grievances between them did not exist at the beginning, and Li Chongjiu's "retirement" had never happened before.The elders still stomped their feet and stomped their chests, regretting their original appearance, talking about the Turks, Khitans, and those who humiliated the kings of He, how they made them bow their knees and let them sign the alliance under the city.Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu's subordinates such as Wang Mahan and Yu Chigong were all sneering, while Yinghefu and Ertuo looked embarrassed.

Li Chongjiu's great victory not only expanded the territory, but also subdued Dingling, Liaoxi Mohe, and Liaodong and Liaoxi counties, greatly increasing their strength.If not, how could this group of elders 'wake up' so quickly? Now it is heard that the royal tribe of Huhe has made an inch of progress and asked the Shidexi tribe to cede a piece of pasture land beside the Wuhou Qinshui to the Mohefu tribe. In a hurry, I thought of Li Chongjiu's glory in leading them to defeat the Khitan people.So now Li Chongjiu is begged to come forward to seek justice from the humiliating king's department for them.

I beg you when it is really useful, and leave you aside when it is not.
Li Chongjiu had already experienced this kind of coldness and warmth in his previous life, who didn't come here like 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, let alone Shi Deyun's mother.Compared with her personal honor and disgrace, Shi Deyun's feelings are much more important.

So Li Chongjiu didn't take the opportunity to make the elder look bad, and promised to negotiate with the humiliating king's department to deal with the matter.Of course, Li Chongjiu would not let them go lightly, and he also proposed Wan Shengjun's plan in front of the elders.Li Chongjiu meant to let the tribal leaders in the Xi tribe organize all their children into the Wansheng Army and guard Yuyi Town as Li Chongjiu's pro-army.

The elders of the Xi clan are not stupid people either, they know this, it is tantamount to handing over all the children of the clan to Li Chongjiu as hostages in disguise, but the elders of the Xi clan are considered people who know current affairs, and agreed after a while of discussion , with 600 descendants of the nobles of the Xi family, and 300 descendants of Wuhou Qinshuipang, Tiele, Khitan, and Shiwei, who were originally attached to the Khanate, formed the Wansheng Army.This was the result of everyone's satisfaction. In addition to Wang Mahan's cavalry regiment, Li Chongjiu's pro-army deployed another elite group of prairie rangers.

After Wan Sheng's army became an army, when Tudiji, Cui Xu, Etuo, and Yinghefu were about to disperse with the rest of the grassland tribes, Li Chongjiu suddenly heard that Li Hu and Su Su had rushed to the Khan Court of the Xi Clan .Li Chongjiu knew in his heart that Su Su was the sheriff of a county, so it was not trivial for him to leave his post and come to the Khan court in the grassland in person.

Now Li Chongjiu met the two of them in Han Court, only then did he know that it was for the Yanmen County matter.

It turned out that after the beginning of spring, Liu Wuzhou led an army of [-] to surround Fanshi County.Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian led an army to defend the isolated city, resisting day and night, and held on for half a year, but the rascals were running out of food and grass.During this period, Chen Xiaoyi kept writing letters to the south, all the way to Taiyuan, all the way to Jiangdu, and sent people to rescue Li Yuan and Yang Guang.But where the letter went, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply.Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian seemed to know that the situation was over, and they were still loyal to their duties. Every morning and evening, they knelt down and wept bitterly in the room where the emperor's imperial edict was stored.Although the defenders in the city were also loyal to the Sui Dynasty, they were already panicking at this moment.
Li Chongjiu also understands what Su Su and Li Hu mean. When Yanmen was besieged, he also gave Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhi one after another, hoping that they would join Shanggu County so that they could send troops to rescue Yanmen, or use this as an excuse. He used an excuse to negotiate with Liu Wuzhou, but was flatly rejected by Chen Xiaoyi. He even cut off the envoy's right ear, and even scolded Li Chongjiu in front of the envoy as a traitor, and he was incompatible with him.

Li Chongjiu was furious when he saw the emissary's miserable state, and immediately ignored the affairs of Yanmen County and concentrated on developing eastward.

But now that Fanshi County is about to be destroyed, if he keeps ignoring it, then after Liu Wuzhou occupies it, the east of Shanggu County will be bordered by Liu Wuzhou, and he will directly face the hero of Dingyang Khan.At that time, there would be no buffer between the two families, so Li Chongjiu would have to send heavy troops to the east to guard against Liu Wuzhou.

Su Su and Li Hu both had the same meaning, their lips were dead and their teeth were cold. Even if Chen Xiaoyi didn't surrender Li Chongjiu, he still had to send troops to save Fanshi County at this moment.Li Chongjiu nodded, when he was General Yingyang Lang in Huaihuang Town, Chen Xiaoyi still supported him a lot, and he still appreciates him even now.Although Chen Xiaoyi is unkind, but he has no selfishness in dealing with things, and everything is for the court, country and society.Although Li Chongjiu was very unhappy because of the humiliation of the envoy, after thinking about it later, he still admired such a person very much.

So Li Chongjiu decided to lead the army to support him. This is the time when he just got off the saddle and has to go into battle again.

At present, Li Chongjiu led the sudden cavalry regiment, and the newly formed Wansheng Army [-] cavalry went first, and Yu Chigong and Zhao Quanting led [-] county soldiers to follow up and enter Yanmen County via the Great Wall.At the same time, let Li Hu go to Huaihuang Town to guard against the Turks, while Su Su secretly went from Zhuojun to Shanggu, and Gaochu, Chen Ke led [-] soldiers from the county, [-] recruits, and [-] troops stationed in Lingqiu County. Ride, go to Feihukou and rescue Fanshi County in two ways.

As for Yinghefu, Ertuo and other four commanding armies, armed with Li Chongjiu's golden arrow, they dispatched troops to various ministries on the grassland, and prepared to march westward after gathering.The army was on fire, so Li Chongjiu led the cavalry to escape the infantry and rushed all the way, and within ten days, they arrived at the foot of Fanshi County.What I saw was an isolated city surrounded by Liu Wuzhou's army with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Liu Wuzhou's army under the city was attacking the city. Liu Wuzhou's army dispatched ladder carts to attack the city, while the defenders on the city resisted bravely by throwing down oil bottles with rolling wooden beaters.Beacon smoke was everywhere on the edge of the city, and the North City Tower was on fire, collapsing bit by bit.The situation in Fanshi County is now in danger and can be broken in an instant.Li Chongjiu immediately ordered his left and right sides to erect his banners in the north of the city. In addition, he undoubtedly told the inside and outside of the city that he had arrived with his army.

Sure enough, seeing Li Chongjiu's banner, Liu Wuzhou's army was attacking the city like a wave, and stopped immediately.The sound of the golden trumpet sounded outside the city, and the siege army returned to the tent, and then a cavalry of more than a thousand people formed an array in the direction of the hill where Li Chongjiu's banner was located.

Now that the Cangtou army has rushed thousands of miles away, they are exhausted and exhausted, where did they find the strength to fight, but Liu Wuzhou's move is obviously very afraid of Li Chongjiu.

Immediately, Liu Wu Zhou's army sent envoys to Li Chongjiu's formation.The envoy was also an old acquaintance of Li Chongjiu before, Huang Ziying, a Lang general who had been on an envoy once.

As soon as Huang Ziying saw Li Chongjiu, he straight-forwardly accused him and said: "Emissary Li, our Khan has always been very respectful to his step, and the two families are also friendly and have never fought. Before that, the Turkic Khan raised troops to attack Huaihuang Town several times on purpose. , were all dissuaded by my Khan, who spoke well for the envoy in front of the Turks, and now the envoy leads the army to interfere with our siege. Isn't this a kind of revenge. Not only the whole country is very indignant, but also the people and gods are indignant what!"

Seeing Huang Ziying crackling and talking so much, and so grandiosely.Li Chongjiu couldn't help smiling, and said: "General Huang Lang misunderstood. I led the army here not to interfere with Dingyang Khan's attack on the city, but to help you. When I attacked Khitan, Dingyang Khan didn't Are you leading the three armies to station in the west of Huaihuang Town, waving the flag for me?"

"This!" Huang Ziying was at a loss for words.

And Li Chongjiu continued to say sincerely: "I have always kept this feeling in my heart. It is not rude to come and go. I also led the army here today to cheer for Khan. If Khan cares about Yu Jiancheng, please feel free to tell me." In other words, I would like to lead the army as the vanguard."
"You!" Huang Ziying said tremblingly with anger, "Okay, you are indeed the envoy Li of Megatron Grassland, and my Khan has noted this down."

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

Wen Yanbo said in the preface: "My lord, Liu Wuzhou is no more than a Turkic dog, but to beat a dog depends on the owner. The Turkic is the real enemy. If you scratch your beard before the tiger, you need to be careful."

Li Chongjiu nodded, and said: "The Turkic Shibi Khan is seriously ill, and the Turkic people are busy fighting for the position of the Khan, so there is no time to look south. We will only be arrogant for a few days at this moment."

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

After Li Chongjiu was stationed outside the city, Liu Wuzhou stopped attacking the city. A few days later, Yu Chigong, Zhao Quanting, Su Su, and Gao Chu all led their troops to arrive. Li Chongjiu's army assembled under Yanmen City reached [-]. The crowd has surpassed Liu Wuzhou's military strength.

And Liu Wuzhou only had [-] reinforcements who had just arrived from Mayi County, so he felt the pressure increased for a while.So the encirclement of Fanshi County was contracted.And Li Chongjiu took advantage of this gap to secretly transport some of the military rations into Fanshi County under the cover of night, which immediately solved the crisis of food shortage in the city.When Liu Wu and Zhou Jun heard the news the next day, their morale was even more demoralized.

When Li Chongjiu thought that Liu Wuzhou was going to take advantage of this to retreat, he suddenly saw a large army appearing on the southern cage.The soldiers of this army are all wearing iron armor, they are obviously elite troops, and the flag used is the big red flag of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu looked at Shannan from a distance, and the moment the big banner with Li characters on a red background and white characters appeared, his eyes narrowed, showing a serious look.
