Yao Junsu immediately thought that he had ignored Sangquan!
"Quickly inform General Sang to retreat!"
Without any time to think, Yao Junsu immediately organized his troops to turn around and prepare to meet this bandit army.
After a while, Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang each led their troops and attacked the Sui army's troops from both wings.
"Commanders of the Sui Dynasty, follow this general to kill the traitors!" Yao Junsu clapped his horse and charged forward.
People's hearts will not become stronger just because of his words. Facing the sudden appearance of this army of soldiers and horses, the Sui soldiers were panic-stricken.
Duan Zhixuan held a horse in his hand and charged into the enemy group, slashing and killing many of their heads. Xie Shufang on the other side was even more brave, charging directly to kill Yao Junsu.
"The traitor shall die!"
Yao Jun was born as a warrior, so he naturally had some martial skills.
Although Xie Shufang is brave, this will not make him retreat.
when!
Xie Shufang struck down his horse with his horse. Yao Junsu's arms were sore and numb, and the sword in his hand flew out and stuck upside down on the ground.
This thief has so much strength!
Uncle Xie saw the opportunity, stepped forward on his horse, reached out with one hand, grabbed Yao Junsu directly, and pinned him to the horse's back, unable to move.
"You can't stop yet!"
Xie Shufang roared loudly, which made the Sui soldiers look at him sideways. When they saw Yao Junsu being caught, their morale instantly collapsed.
Duan Zhixuan immediately shouted, "You are all descendants of Guanlong. Surrender without killing me!"
"Surrender without killing!"
Waves of noise were heard, and the Sui troops laid down their weapons and surrendered one after another.
Later, Duan Zhixuan led his army into the city, killed Sang Xianhe, and rescued Li Sixing.
"If you are late, you will have to collect the body for me." Li Sixing looked at Duan Zhixuan and tore off the tattered armor on his body, revealing his strong arms.
Duan Zhixuan turned over and dismounted, patting his shoulder with a smile, "General Li, the master has already made it clear that General Li will be the first to take down the attack on the Sui army. He will write a letter to tell the master personally."
Hearing this, Li Sixing felt much better.
"Young master, this is what I should do."
With the endorsement of the small boss, the previous unhappiness is immediately forgotten.
Sang Xianhe died in battle and Yao Junsu was captured. The news spread back to Hedong. Qu Tutong regretted it and recalled all his troops to defend Pujin Pass.
He told Yao Junsu not to be careless and underestimate the enemy. In fact, he himself was a little careless. Otherwise, he would not have hastily agreed to attack the Yi family and suffered a disastrous defeat.
"Junsu!"
Qu Tutong was extremely regretful. He and Yao Junsu were good friends, and when he learned that Yao Jun was in the hands of his enemies, he felt sad and regretful.
On the other side, Li Zhiyun was also a little silent when he learned that Sang Xianhe died in the battle. He remembered that it was Sang Xianhe who persuaded Qu Tutong to surrender. Now that the man is dead, would it be difficult to persuade Qu Tutong to surrender?
Yes, Li Zhiyun wanted to persuade Qu Tutong to surrender. After all, this veteran was good at fighting. If he could recruit his subordinates, it would undoubtedly be a huge help.
"That's all." Li Zhiyun sighed and looked at Yao Junsu, "Yao Shijun, are you willing to help me, Aye, to achieve great things and bring peace to the world?"
"Hmph." Yao Junsu sneered, "Your Majesty, the late emperor, treated Li Yuan well, but he did not want to repay your kindness, but wanted to be a traitor. How could I, Yao Junsu, help him do evil!"
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was not surprised. Yao Junsu was Yang Guang's trusted bodyguard when he was still the king of Jin Dynasty. In terms of loyalty, Yao Junsu was the most loyal one.
"Come here, take him to Longmen and hand him over to the lord." Li Zhiyun left Yao Junsu's life and death to Li Yuan to decide.
"yes."
September.
After the Yi clan was defeated in the first battle, Qu Tutong never fought against Li Zhiyun again. And Li Zhiyun had no way to take over Hedong Jiancheng, and the two sides were in a stalemate for more than a month.
However, Li Zhiyun was smiling and holding on, while Qu Tutong was suffering from sorrow.
Not long ago, he learned that Liu Wenjing had returned from the Turks and brought back a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, and Li Yuan's troops in Longmen were greatly increased.
He informed the king of Daxing about the situation, but got even more terrible news.
The Li clan members in the pass, such as Li Shentong, Li Shenfu and others, actually separatized Hu County to fight against the imperial officers and soldiers.
Now, Yin Shishi is busy attacking the rebels in Hu County and other places.
Qu Tutong knew very well that Li Shentong and others had no ability to segregate a county and fight against the officers and soldiers without losing. Behind them, the Guanlong nobles were supporting them.
He suddenly realized that he had reached a dead end. Li Yuan would soon cross the river from Longmen and enter the pass. However, he was restrained by Li Zhiyun's troops and did not dare to attack Longmen. He could only watch Li Yuan slip away from under his nose.
It's not that he can't defeat Li Zhiyun, but it's pointless to waste time with Li Zhiyun. He once tried to attack Li Zhiyun, but the opponent slipped away in an instant, not giving him the slightest chance.
In Qu Tutong's view, Li Zhiyun's fighting style is somewhat like the Turkic wolf pack fighting method. That is, following the enemy, not attacking easily when there is no certainty of victory, and only waiting for the moment when the enemy reveals a flaw before taking action.
If the enemy wants to attack, he will immediately run away and continue to follow him from a distance.
Pujin Pass is extremely important, as it is the northeast gate of the pass. Qu Tutong did not dare risk his life to attack Longmen, which gave Li Zhiyun an opportunity.
But precisely because of this, he was trapped here unable to move.
After tossing and turning and thinking about it, Qu Tutong decided to try to attack Longmen and prevent Li Yuan's troops from entering Guanzhong.
However, before that, he must first capture Li Zhiyun.
This time, Qu Tutong did not risk an attack, but chose to lead his army directly from Pujin Pass in Hedong and rushed to Longmen.
"You said Qu Tutong led his army to Longmen?"
In the camp, Li Zhiyun looked at the scouts with a ghostly expression.
"I can see clearly from my humble position that I am indeed Qu Tutong."
"How many troops did he bring?" Chen Shuda asked.
"More than ten thousand soldiers and horses."
"Ten thousand people?" Li Zhiyun frowned and thought: "That shouldn't be the case. Qu Tutong should know the importance of Pujin Pass, so why would he choose to do this?"
Duan Zhixuan guessed: "Maybe it was because the Lord was starting to cross the river, and Qu Tutong received the news and felt that the stalemate could not continue, so he chose to strike preemptively."
Li Zhiyun paced back and forth in the camp, shaking his head and denying: "This is absolutely impossible. Qu Tutong is a famous general, and he is extremely steady in marching and fighting. At the moment, he is leading his army to Longmen to attack our main army, which cannot stop us from continuing to cross the river.
, but will expose Pujin Pass to our swords. This kind of dangerous strategy is not Qu Tutong’s style. He must have other plans."
Chen Shuda touched his short beard, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Qu Tutong's target is us."
Li Zhiyun continued: "Yes, if my guess is correct, Qu Tutong wants to lure us to send troops to attack Pujin Pass, and then he will turn around and kill us."
Xie Shufang hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do?"
Li Zhiyun and Chen Shuda looked at each other and said at the same time: "Use the trick!"
The next day, while Li Zhiyun mobilized soldiers and horses and released the vanguard army to Pujin Pass, he secretly sent people to search for traces of Qu Tutong's soldiers and horses, hoping to ambush him.
But after all, Qu Tutong was a veteran and very experienced. After leaving Pujin Pass, he actually disappeared without a trace with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
