Thousands of troops roar, thousands of horses gallop, millions of corpses, and blood blew.

Once upon a time, Li Yaer, the flying tiger son, thought that the Shatu cavalry won every battle and was invincible in the world. With one victory after another, he felt that the Shatu people should not just act as thugs for Li Tang. He had to take the Shatu sword in his own hands, and even in his thoughts, he had risen to establish a Shatu country and conquer a large territory.

The cavalry rushed and retreated from Tianmen Pass to Lanzhou at night.

The camp at Tianmen Pass was still there, and his black flag was still flying there, but there was no one inside.

Li Keyong and his wife Liu's army were divided into two groups. He personally led 10,000 Shatuo Jingxing to the west of the Yellow River at night. He was confident in the counselor Gai Yu, generals Kang Junli, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunben, Xue Tieshan, Wang Xingshen accompanied him. In addition, his adopted son Li Cunjin and Shi Jingsi accompanied him. His wife Liu took Li Sizhao, Siyuan, Siben's third adopted son, eight thousand soldiers and ten thousand young and strong auxiliary soldiers back to Shuozhou.

Ten thousand Shatu soldiers retreated into Lanzhou during the night, passed through the flood valley, and finally arrived at Hehejin on the east bank of the Yellow River. Then they crossed the river from here to Shengzhou under the Jiedu of Zhenwu Army. After getting ashore, they walked on Lingyan Yinxia Road and flew directly to Youzhou to pick up Li Guochang.

Think about it, he started to fight horses in his teenage years and made many military achievements with Shatuo Army. Since Shatuo affiliated with the Tang Dynasty, several generations of Shatuo Army have fought for the Tang Dynasty. The iron army swept thousands of miles and was as angry as a tiger. Originally, he looked down on Li Tang from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, he killed Duan Wenchu, seized Yunzhou, and deliberately executed court officials in order to show the muscles of their Shatuo people to the little emperor in Chang'an.

But he still couldn't figure out why this little emperor and the prime ministers in the court dared to beat them.

He just vaguely felt that maybe his method was wrong at the beginning, and he should be as low-key as the damn Dangxiang people. But what he angry most was Li Jing. He led the Zhendong Army to stay in his Dengzhou and Liaonan, and why did he come to Daibei to do?

Li Jing seized his Weizhou and Yu Yan seized his father's Shanyu Protectorate. The teachers and students were simply the nemesis of the Shatu people. If they were not for them, Li Keyong believed that the court would not be able to hold on in the end, and they would still be the winner of this war.

"Li Jing, they are all Li Jing. If Li Jing didn't suddenly circulate his backyard, Yu Jing and Na Helianduo, Bai Yicheng would not dare to send troops to the Shanyu Protectorate. Li Jing, I, Li Keyong, remember you. In this life, I will not be a human being if I don't kill you!" Immediately, Li Keyong suddenly spoke out angrily, shocking Gai Yu next to me. Although Gai Yu was originally a Yunzhou dental school, it was just because his family had been Yunzhou dental generals for generations. In fact, Gai Yu was not good at martial arts and battle formations, and was born a little weak, but he had a smart head. Since the Yunzhou mutiny, he has been Li Keyong's confidant counselor. Li Keyong never left Gai Yu for a moment. When Li Keyong discussed and decided on major events, he followed Gai Yu and asked him to follow every time he sent troops to conquer.

"In my opinion, what Zhendong Army is stronger is not military strength, but Li Jing's strategic layout. This person should not be underestimated. In the future, we should try our best to avoid fighting with him." Gai Yu advised.

"Do you think I'm leading my army across the river? Is this right or wrong?" Li Keyong asked.

Gai Yu pondered, and after a while, he replied: "The current situation is the best strategy to return to Yunshuo Prefectures, recruit a group of elite soldiers, and withdraw the population and livestock to the foot of the Waiyin Mountain in the Frontier. Avoid the real and the weak, and do not confront the imperial court's troops. Retreat for the time being, and the various troops in the court will not be able to stay in Daibei. When all the troops retreat, we can make a comeback at that time. The key is to preserve our strength."

"There are still medium and bad strategies?" Li Keyong asked.

"Zhongce means retreating into Shuozhou, and fighting a defensive battle with our foundation in Daibei and the deep defense of the new city built in Shuozhou. Maybe we can win, but if we win, we will suffer heavy losses and severe damage to our vitality."

"The worst strategy is just the choice of staying behind. He will take a gamble and attack Yanzhou directly. He will enter the pass and lead the imperial army from Daibei to the west bank of the Yellow River. He is looking forward to the court's truce and reconciliation. However," Gai Yu shook his head and sighed, "But the possibility of success is too small. Moreover, Li Jing's capture of Weizhou, Yu Guan and Helianduo attacked the Shanyu Protectorate. The cooperation in this time is so good. I suspect that Li Jing and Yu Guan have been communicating information. Their actions are consistent, and it is even possible that these three troops are unified. If this is the case, then Tuoba Sigong from Youzhou is also likely to have joined this network. Behind this, there is a big hand pushing, maybe."

Speaking of this, Gai Yu stopped talking and his face was full of worries.

"Maybe what?" Li Keyong also thought of that possibility, but he still asked.

Gai Yu shook his head, "I hope that won't happen."

At dawn, Li Ke had crossed the Yellow River with 10,000 cavalry and entered Shengzhou. Shengzhou and Linzhou, which were next to the Yellow River, were both under the jurisdiction of Zhenwu Army, and Shengzhou was only hundreds of miles away from the Jingwei Army.

Shengzhou was originally Yulin County during the Sui Dynasty, with two counties under Yulin and Hebin. By this time in the Tang Dynasty, Shengzhou, in addition to Yulin and Hebin counties, also had two counties in Liangu and Yincheng. The capital of Shengzhou was located in Yulin. However, Li Guochang sent troops to Jingluocheng in Youzhou, but there were 1,000 troops stationed in Liangu and Yincheng cities, responsible for the transfer of grain and grass. At this time, in Yincheng, Gao Wenshun, the governor of Shengzhou, personally took charge of Yincheng, responsible for the grain and grass matters.

In the Yincheng City, Gao Wenshun summoned five hundred soldiers and a thousand civilians, preparing to escort a batch of food, grass and supply equipment to Jingliu City, but suddenly heard a small school officer running towards him and shouting: "Empress, hundreds of cavalry are coming from the west!"

Gao Wenshun hurriedly climbed the city to watch, and when he saw a gust of smoke rising from the west, a cavalry team of about 300 people was racing.

The cavalry had arrived in a blink of an eye, and a loud shout came from him: "Open the city gate quickly, the general is back!"

Gao Wenshun looked carefully and found that Li Guochang was indeed among the cavalry, but the situation was extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't help but be shocked. When Li Guochang sent troops, he brought 10,000 troops, and not long ago, Li Jinzhong led three thousand Shatuo elite soldiers to rush from Hedong. Why did Li Guochang return in such a mess in just a few days? Did they suffer a big defeat and their entire army was wiped out?

Without caring about this, he hurriedly ordered: "Let the suspension bridge open the city gate to welcome the Grandmaster into the city."

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and Li Guochang and others rushed in. The first thing they said after entering the city was: "Close the city gate immediately and find some food and water!"

The city gate was closed again, and the food was not complete for a while, so I had to send some cakes. After Li Guochang and others jumped off the horse, they sat directly on the ground, grabbed the cakes and ate them hard. It looked like they hadn't eaten enough for a few days.

"Why did the Grand Marshal come back suddenly?" Gao Wenshun asked in a low voice.

Li Guochang's mouth was filled with cakes, his eyes were filled with anger, and he said in a daze: "The Tiande Army captured the Shanyu Protectorate Palace, and the damn Zhenwu Army turned against him. They and Helian troops raided me in the middle of the night."

The Shanyu Protectorate was captured, and Gao Wenshun had heard some rumors before, but it was just rumors. He didn't believe it at all, but he didn't expect that this was true. In this way, Li Guochang not only lost the Shanyu Protectorate, but also the Zhenwu Army also turned against him. Now there are only two or three hundred elite soldiers left in the six thousand Shatuo soldiers to Youzhou. Oh my God, Gao Wenshun felt that the sky had collapsed.

While Gao Wenshun was in chaos, Li Guochang and the others had already eaten and drank. "Call the troops in the city, bring some dry food, and we go to Hedong."

"Do you want to abandon Silver City?"

"The Shanyu Protectorate is gone, and the Zhenwu Army has also rebelled. What's the point of defending the two states of Shengyin? Now, it's better to go to Hedong first and join my son to defeat him." Although Li Guochang was defeated, his mind was still clear. The Zhenwu Army rebelled, and with the Helian troops, they would definitely chase him. With the few people in his hands, they could not stop him no matter what.

Gao Wenshun did not say anything and turned to make arrangements. At this time, he had heard that the Shanyu Protectorate was captured by the Tiande Army. Zhenwu Army turned against him in the battle. Li Guochang and Youzhou were wiped out. Now he was about to abandon the city and retreat into Hedong. The city suddenly became a mess.

In the chaos, Li Keyong had already arrived and the troops entered the city.

Li Guochang and Li Keyong and his father and son were met, and they couldn't help but sigh.

When Li Keyong saw that Li Guochang was actually in the Silver City, he felt very bad. When he saw that the city was in chaos, he looked like he was about to escape, and his expression changed rapidly.

"Keyong, why did you lead your army here? Have you defeated the soldiers in Taiyuan?" Li Guochang asked, with a hint of hope on his face.

Li Keyong shook his head in pain, and Gai Yu really guessed it.

"Father, Yu Jun captured the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion, Li Jing captured Weizhou, and Taiyuan had no chance. The situation was unfavorable. I wanted to lead my army across the river and fight with my father to Guanzhong, but unexpectedly, Zhenwu Army turned against me."

Li Guochang's face changed drastically, and his whole body became much more depressed, as if he had become much older. He murmured: "Is it that God is going to destroy me, Shatuo!"

Both father and son bowed their heads and looked full of pain.

"Did father, uncle and Huaixin all died in battle?" Li Keyong asked with a sudden look.

Li Guochang said a little embarrassedly: "The night was chaotic, the enemy was fierce, and there were chaos everywhere. I wanted to gather my troops, but it was difficult to succeed. In the end, I had to evacuate first."
