After dawn, the rain gradually became smaller and turned into continuous drizzle. Although the rain was less, it was stuck in the northwest wind and rolled toward the body, but it hurts like a steel needle.

While Li Keyong invited Wang Jingchong for breakfast, he sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender. Although there were tens of thousands of troops in his hand, if he could avoid unnecessary casualties, Li Keyong was still willing to accept surrender. Unfortunately, the people in the city were not grateful for Li Keyong's kindness. This time, although the Shatuo cavalry who was shouting was superb, the archers and archers in the city were even more superb. Although the riding skills were hiding outside a hundred and twenty steps to shout, he did not expect that the archers on the top of the city were directly fucked the Baniu San crossbow at the top of the city, and used a crossbow spear thick as a arm, and directly nailed him to the mud with his men and horses.

This crossbow caused a loud cheer on the top of the city, but it scared the Zhao army and Jin army who had just eaten breakfast lazily prepared for the battle. Some soldiers who were approaching were backing back in a hurry. Several retreated too quickly and fell directly into the mud, feeling embarrassed, which attracted a wave of ridicule on the top of the city.

Li Keyong looked at all this coldly, turned to the guard beside him and said, "After the city is broken, cut off the tongues of all the defenders and sell them to the grassland to the Khitans to herd sheep!"

Before he could finish his words, a team of cavalry rushed over with mud. The one riding in front was the detective who was out patrolling and guarding, and the one following behind was a general with a silver mask. Li Keyong's face changed slightly. He had already recognized that the knight wearing a silver mask was Jingniang, the guard commander of the wife Liu who stayed in Yanmen.

Jingniang suddenly arrived at this time, and something important must have happened in Yanmen.

The cavalry ignored the orders of the camp and rode their horses to the sky. The horse rushed straight to Li Keyong for a few steps before the cavalry grabbed the reins. The horseman stood up, and the front hooves that had flew into the air almost kicked Li Keyong in the face.

Jingniang jumped off the horse and said hurriedly: "Yanmen urgently. Five days ago, Li Jing personally led 50,000 troops to Junduguan. The 30,000 defenders of Junduguan suddenly came out of the pass and rushed into Guizhou. The Qin army 80,000 out of the pass was unstoppable. General Li Kexiu could not resist. He lost Guizhou five days ago, and lost Xinzhou four days ago. Three days ago, when his wife asked me to come to report the news, Ruzhou was lost again!"

Li Keyong was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what Jing Niang said. After a moment, he strode forward and pulled the mask on Jing Niang's face away. He took off the mask and found a woman who was actually very beautiful inside. Many people had never seen Jing Niang's face, but of course Li Keyong had seen it. This time, he had no excuse to deceive himself.

This is actually true! How could this be true?

The three generals of Shatuo, who were wearing clothes and were coming to ask for an order to attack the city, were stunned when they heard this.

"Didn't the previous news say that the Qin army was ambushed and besieged by the Khitan. Did Li Jing lead his troops out of the frontier to rescue? Why is Li Jing suddenly out of the army and attacking the mountain?" Li Siyuan's face changed drastically, and he stared at Jing Niang and asked loudly.

Jingniang held the sword in her hand and said tiredly: "The information I found before was indeed the case, but when I set out to report the news, my wife had just received the latest news from the grassland. Li Jing's Northern Expedition troops did not attack the Khitan at all. They only sent a small number of cavalry, bluffing and wandering the Khitan grassland under the banner of the army, attracting the attention of the Khitans. In fact, Li Jing's Northern Expedition troops quietly attacked the tent of the King of Dongxi Khan Ting and raided the Dongxi people who had already attached to the Khitan. He heard that the Dongxi people were defeated and more than 20,000 people were killed in battle. King Shise of Dongxi, his Khitan wife and children were all captured."

"A good move to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It is a strategy to hit the east and attack the west!"

Li Ke said in a low voice, clenched his lips tightly, and grinded his teeth.

"Where are the 20,000 people we went to the grassland? Will there be any news to repay?" Li Keyong asked.

Jingniang shook her head, "General Li Jinzhong has not contacted Yanmen for ten days, and we have lost his news!"

Everyone was silent, and a bad thought surged into everyone's hearts. Li Jing killed Dong Xi, who had surrendered to the Khitan, and Li Jinzhong's 20,000 people went to the Khitan to reinforce. He was about to make a fortune in the territory of the Xi people.

"Maybe it's just that it's inconvenient to contact us for the time being. Please don't worry too much, sir." Li Siyuan persuaded.

Maybe, Li Ke thought to himself.

However, whether Li Jinzhong's 20,000 troops were ambushed by Li Jing is not the most important thing. The most shocking news is that Li Jing suddenly sent troops to attack the mountain and had already captured the three states in a row. No, it was the news three days ago. Li Jing captured the three states, and now it has been three days. Who knows how bad the situation is. Li Jing only took three days to capture the three states, and now it has been three days. Maybe Li Jing has captured the two states and attacked directly to Yanmen.

After all, Li Jing fought with them Shatuo in Daibei and had almost no defeat. Now Li Kexiu was defeated in front of the mountain, and the Yanmen was led by a woman named Liu. Can he stop Li Jing's army from attacking?

Li Ke was in a state of chaos. After the first anti-Tang Dynasty, in the Battle of Daibei, Shatuo fought with the eight towns of the imperial court. In the end, they were defeated and lost Yun and Shuozhou. It was finally difficult for Shatuo to make a comeback. If he lost his hometown again this time, it would be an unbearable injury for Shatuo people.

"Go back to Yanmen immediately!" Li Keyong's forehead was exposed, and his heart was shocked, fearful and angry. Now that he knew Li Jing's movements, Li Jing did not go to the grassland, but instead went to raid his nest. At present, Li Keyong actually had two choices. First, continue his previous plan. Li Jing attacked Li Jing, he attacked him, and Chengdezhen continued to attack Mozhou, and then attacked Hejian. Taking advantage of Li Jing's absence in Hebei to defeat Mo Ying. Or, return to Hedong immediately to rescue his foundation. After all, although Yizhou was captured, Shatuo's foundation was in Daibei. If Yanmen was not protected, Yizhou would never be able to defend it. Even if Mozhou was captured, Hedong would not be worth the loss.

Of course, there are two choices when returning to Yanmen. One is to return to Yizhou, return to Weizhou from Feihu Road, and rescue Yanmen. But this road is too long and you have to go around a big circle before you can get back.

There is another road for him to choose from, that is, to lead his troops directly into Zhuozhou, pass Youzhou, arrive at Jundu Pass, capture Jundu Pass, and then follow the route of Li Jing's attack and kill him from behind. This road is very close, and Li Jing's total of only 80,000 troops entered Yanmen Town, and there were still some defensive troops and newly occupied land. He and Chengde Town joined forces, with 100,000 people. If they could capture Jundu Pass, they could block Li Jing in Yanmen Town and close the door and fight dogs.

However, this plan is too risky. Although the Shatuo army only took one night to seize Jundu Pass from Li Quanzhong, Jundu Pass is the two major gateways of Youzhou. If it cannot be captured by surprise, but it is not easy to attack. Another point is that from here to Jundu Pass, it has to pass through Zhuozhou and Youzhou. If the troops and horses in both places intercepted, they may be entangled here.

Is it risky or steady?

The matter involved Shatuo's foundation, and in the end Li Keyong chose to return the same way, and he did not dare to take that risk. If he was dragged here, then the final shortcut would become a dead end. Yanmen Town might be broken, and he would not dare to bet on all his wealth.

Now Li Keyong can only pray, hoping that his wife Liu can lead the remaining troops and horses to defend Yanmen, and wait until he leads his troops back to rescue.

"I led my army back to Yanmen with you!" Faced with Li Keyong's request, Wang Jingchong agreed generously. Chengde Town and Yanmen Town jointly bear the pressure of Li Jing. They had their lips and teeth cold. They needed each other. When Li Keyong was in trouble, Wang Jingchong had to save him. Otherwise, as soon as Li Keyong fell down, it would be his turn to Chengde Town next.

"Don't throw away all unnecessary things, we will return to the army with light loads, and we must rush back to Yanmen as fast as possible!" Li Keyong waved his fist and was anxious to get angry, making his mouth full of bubbles.

The Zhao-Jin coalition forces retreated in a hurry like a tide, leaving behind the chaos everywhere.

Li Keyong wanted to rush back to Yanmen immediately, but the bad path made them slow to move.

"This speed is not good, absolutely not good!" Li Ke shouted in a hoarse voice. He regretted it now, regretting that he did not listen to his wife's advice and sent troops to Hebei rashly. As a result, he had just been happy for a long time and took Yizhou with serene satisfaction, but in a blink of an eye he lost three states, and even his old nest might have been lost.

He was completely mobilized by Li Jing. He was exhausted and in a mess, but he dared not not to save him!

"Sir, why not let me lead the cavalry to return to Yanmen first!" Li Siyuan clenched his fists and said to Li Keyong. He was also panicked at this time, but what he was worried about was not Yanmen Town, or whether Yanmen Town could hold on was not what he was most worried about. After hearing Li Jing invading Yanmen Town, his mind was full of her shadow, and he was afraid that the last time he parted would be a farewell forever. He wanted to go back immediately and see her safe immediately.

Li Keyong nodded, "You and I lead the cavalry back to rescue first, Cunzhang and Si Zhao, you lead the infantry and then come."

Wang Jingchong and Li Keyong gathered all the cavalry, a total of 30,000 cavalry, led by Li Keyong and Li Siyuan to immediately return to Yanmen. The remaining 70,000 infantry, the two armies would leave a part of the newly captured Yiding Prefectures, and the remaining 30,000 infantry were led by Wang Jingchong and Li Cunzhang and Li Sizhao to Yanmen.

Three days later, Li Keyong led his cavalry to the Feihukou at the foot of Taihang Mountain and met the Flying Cavalry messenger who came again. This was already unknown which one he had encountered in three days. On the road these days, Li Keyong could meet several messengers from Yanmen every day.

The situation in Yanmen Town is now very critical, very critical!

Li Jing has wiped out 20,000 Li Kexiu's troops and completely occupied the four states in the front of Gui, Xin, Ru and Wushan. The troops have entered Weizhou.

Mrs. Liu personally brought 20,000 troops to Weizhou to resist the enemy, but as of yesterday's news, most of Weizhou has fallen into Li Jing's hands. Now Liu is in charge of Zhigu Pass in Weizhou, relying on the pass to resist guarding and struggling to support him, and is eager to wait for him to go back.

Li Siyuan brought the messenger to his horse, and he asked impatiently: "What's the situation with his wife?"

The messenger gasped and reported that the situation in Weizhou was fine. The Qin army had stopped attacking the day before yesterday. The Qin and Jin armies took Weizhou Zhigu Pass as the boundary and did not fight again. This news made Li Keyong feel relieved, and the messenger reported another news, a very bad news.

Li Jinzhong, who had lost contact for half a month, finally had news, but it was bad news. As Li Jinzhong was worried, as Li Keyong was ambushed by the Qin army that defeated Dong Xi in Xi's territory. The Shatuo army heading north was defeated by the 20,000 north, and Li Jinzhong was killed and injured on the spot. More than half of the 20,000 people were killed or injured. The remaining were basically captured, and only hundreds of people fled back to Yanmen and brought back this bad news.

This was undoubtedly another major blow to Li Keyong and the Shatuo people. The three elders of the Shatuo clan, Li Guochang, Li Youjin and Li Jinzhong, all died. Moreover, 20,000 troops were defeated in Xi Realm. Even if this army was not Shatuo's elite, it would be a huge blow to Shatuo, especially at this time.

"Why did Li Jing suddenly stop attacking and give us a chance to breathe? This is a bit unreasonable. Logically, Li Jing is in a strong momentum. Although his wife led her troops to guard Weizhou, Li Jing's soldiers and horses had a completely advantage. He shouldn't have stopped acting suddenly at this time." Li Siyuan forced himself to calm down, and then thought of a doubt.

Li Keyong also came to his senses. This was indeed a suspicious point. Li Jing's use of troops has always been cunning and it is difficult to guess his true intentions. But once Li Jing's intentions were revealed, it was almost impossible to stop at that time.

The same was true for this operation. At the beginning, Li Jing made a lot of tricks and confused the other party. But once he launched the attack, it was too late for Li Keyong to rescue him. At present, Li Jing clearly has the ability to attack, but his offensive momentum is not yet final, so why did he suddenly stop at Zhigu Pass in Weizhou? He could fight all the way to Daizhou, or even to the bottom of Yanmen City.

What does Li Jing want to do? Perhaps this is another conspiracy of Li Jing?

"Sir, Li Jing's use of troops is elusive and cunning. He said he would send troops to the north to attack the Khitan, but the target was Dong Xi and our northbound troops. Li Jing said he wanted to lead his troops to rescue the northern expedition and was surrounded by troops, but he attacked General Li Kexiu. Now Li Jing suddenly stopped and I always felt a dangerous aura. Li Jing would never stop here. He must be brewing some conspiracy and tricks waiting for us!" Li Siyuan rubbed his head and said in pain.

"What will his conspiracy be?" Li Keyong thought hard.

"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain!" Li Keyong and Li Siyuan shouted almost at the same time, which scared the guards next to them and were confused.

Li Keyong and Li Siyuan looked at each other and saw the fear in their eyes. If it was really as their guess, it would be a big deal.

"Datong Army!" Li Ke said with hatred, "Li Jing deliberately weakened the attack momentum in Weizhou. He was luring Yunniang to lead his troops to rescue.

Li Siyuan nodded, "The governor of Datong Army, Shi Jingcun, the governor of Anqing, and the governor of Yunzhou, Mi Haiwan, the governor of Sage, Qi Bizhang, the governor of Shuozhou, were originally my Shatuo subordinates, but later they betrayed us. Since we returned to Daibei, they are the ones who fear the most in our hearts. Moreover, they have always had a good relationship with Li Jing, and they were under his command during the Battle of Daibei. Now the three divisions of Datong must have secretly colluded with Li Jing. Li Jing was deliberately luring his wife to divide the troops to rescue Weizhou and divide the troops of Yanmen. At present, the three divisions of Datong have sent troops to raid Yanmen!"

Li Ke gritted his teeth and was extremely frightened. If this was the case, Li Jing deliberately lured his wife to divide his troops to defend Weizhou. He dragged his wife in Weizhou. He secretly asked the three troops of the Datong Army behind Yanmen to send troops to raid Yanmen. This move was too cruel.
