Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 256 Establishing Another Leader of the Xi Clan
In Youzhou City, Jia Xun had just fled back to the city, and before he had time to take a good rest, he heard the news that the pass had fallen and An Dong's cavalry was heading to Youzhou City.

"Follow me up the city wall to defend against the enemy!" Jia Xun gritted his teeth. The enemy was in front of him, and he didn't care to rest, so he took dozens of soldiers who had just fled back with him, as well as a large number of anti-army soldiers, to the city wall again. , deploy defenses.

Jia Xun was not worried that Anton's iron cavalry would attack the city, let alone that Anton's iron cavalry could attack the city.

After all, Youzhou City is known as the strongest city north of the Yellow River. It has been the capital of Yan State since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and was built into a strong city.In the Tang Dynasty, in order to guard against the Xi and Khitan peoples, Youzhou City was repeatedly reinforced.After An Lushan became Fan Yang's Jiedushi, for his own ambition, he even built and strengthened Youzhou City as his old nest. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Youzhou City is as solid as gold.

"Boom——" With the sound of rumbling horseshoes, Li Fei led more than 1 Anton cavalry to the city of Youzhou.

"This is Youzhou City!" Li Fei reined in his horse at a distance of about 300 meters, and looked at Youzhou City in front of him.

At the beginning, he went from Chang'an City to Andong Protectorate to take office, because he was worried that An Lushan would take the opportunity to plot against him, so let alone staying in Youzhou City, he didn't even go to the edge of Youzhou City, so he directly staggered Youzhou City and went to Andong. In the Eastern Capital Protectorate, the facts also proved that Li Fei's original worries were correct, and An Lushan's calculations against him failed in the end.

"It seems that An Lushan used cement to build his lair into a truly impregnable city!" Li Fei had sharp eyes, and he could tell at a glance that the walls of Youzhou City had been raised with cement. one period.

At that time, in order to increase his status, he dedicated the method of cement firing to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.And Tang Xuanzong spread the method to the states, and An Lushan naturally got the method of cement firing.

Although it is only the most primitive firing method, the output is very low, but with the huge investment of An Lushan, it is no problem to fire a batch to heighten and strengthen the walls of Youzhou City.

"Master Jiedu, although the city walls of Youzhou are high, we have thunder and thunderbolts. It is not difficult to blow open the gates of Youzhou and enter the city!" Wu Sheng said to Li Fei.

"It's not difficult, but it's not necessary to capture Youzhou City. We still can't digest this city." Li Fei shook his head, and had no intention of taking the opportunity to capture Youzhou City.

Indeed, if massive thunderbolts and thunderbolts were used, it would not be difficult to blow open the city gates of Youzhou. After annihilating the 1 rebels brought out of the city by Jia Xun, the rebels in Youzhou were limited, and the city of Youzhou was occupied. It wasn't difficult, but it seemed that the subsequent troubles were unbearable for him.

The Anton army under his command is limited in strength, not to mention that after the capture of Youzhou City, the rebels who stayed behind in Hedong and Pinglu will attack Youzhou City.

As for the status of Youzhou City as Anlu Mountain’s lair, it has a huge impact. Once he captures Youzhou City and the news reaches the imperial court, there is no doubt that the imperial court will force him to defend Youzhou City to the death. It will become a hot potato, and it is impossible to throw it away, because the imperial court will not allow it. After capturing Youzhou City and then throwing away Youzhou City, in the eyes of the imperial court, the crime is probably greater than the capture of Khitan, Xi clan, plus The sum of the contributions of Youzhou City.

In the end, this Youzhou City will bring down the entire Anton Protectorate.

There is no benefit to capturing Youzhou City, but all harm. Li Fei would not be so stupid!

Li Fei took out his binoculars and glanced at the city wall of Youzhou. Sure enough, he saw Jia Xun who fled back to Youzhou city desperately.

"This guy has a lot of life!" Li Fei sneered, and he didn't feel so disappointed that Jia Xun was not saved.

After all, the 1 rebels that Jia Xun brought out of Youzhou City have been wiped out by him, and only Jia Xun fled back to Youzhou City with dozens of soldiers. There is no threat in time.

Although he didn't intend to capture Youzhou City, Li Fei still gave Youzhou City a blow before returning to the army.

"shoot!"

"Deng deng deng-"

More than 2000 Anton iron knight soldiers rushed to a place more than 100 meters away from the city wall of Youzhou, and shot two rounds of arrows towards the city wall of Youzhou.

Some unlucky rebel soldiers were hit by arrows, and several of them fell off the city wall screaming after being shot.

"Damn it!" Jia Xun also split two arrows flying towards him with a knife, and stared at Anton's iron cavalry who turned back after shooting two rounds of arrows under the city wall. Jia Xun's face turned black with anger.

However, Jia Xun also saw that Li Fei had no real plan to attack Youzhou City, but just left him another blow before withdrawing. Jia Xun was ashamed in his heart, and he secretly vowed to repay today Enmity, let Li Fei die badly!
"Return to the army!" After finally leaving a dismount, Li Fei left the city of Youzhou with Anton's cavalry and returned to the territory of the Xi clan.

After returning to the territory of the Xi clan, Li Fei prepared to appoint a new leader of the Xi clan.

Since the Xi clan does not have people like Princess Yangu and Yelucha for Li Fei to use, and the Xi clan is close to Youzhou, which can be used as a barrier, Li Fei chose the most powerful tribe in the territory of the Xi clan. The leader came to be the new leader of the Xi clan.

He also stayed in the territory of the Xi clan for a few more days to help the new leader of the Xi clan completely integrate the Xi clan under his command.

The original leader of the Xi tribe is going south with An Lushan in rebellion to help Anlushan charge into battle. Li Fei believes that when the original leader of the Xi tribe hears that the Xi tribe has changed hands, he will undoubtedly lead his army back to the Xi tribe. The new leader of the Xi clan that he and Li Fei set up separately must have a fierce battle. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose, but Li Fei is very happy to see such a scene.

As for the Khitan tribe, the leader of Muerhu, who was helping Anlu Mountain in the charge, heard the news that the Khitan tribe had also changed hands, and he would definitely return to the Khitan tribe.However, Mu Erhu was already unpopular in Khitan, and his chances of winning after returning were extremely low.

After sweeping away the Khitan and Xi tribes, the only threat facing the Anton Governor's Mansion is the next-door Pinglu Road.

In fact, when Li Fei first entered the Khitan tribe, Shele also asked for help from Lu Zhihai of Pinglu Road, and Lu Zhihai was ready to lead the rebels from Pinglu Road to rescue the Khitan, but Shele was defeated too quickly. Before Zhihai could leave Pingzhou City with his rebel army, he received the news that She Le had died in battle and that the Khitan tribe had changed hands. Lu Zhihai had no choice but to not send troops in the end.

If you count the 1 Youzhou rebels who wiped out Jia Xun to rescue the Xi clan, Li Fei won three battles and three victories in this expedition, and the results are huge.

On December 21st, it was snowing heavily in the Anton Governor's Mansion, and Li Fei led his army back to Liaoyang City.
