It has been a few days since the battle of Daicheng, and at this time, with the advent of the Qi army, Luo Yi couldn't help but increase his confidence, and the high-intensity army led a fierce battle with An Lushan every day.
Yutian City is an important area of the battle between the two armies, because the war is too fierce, the city has long been blood-colored, like a veil on the gloomy sky.
Not only that, Yutian City has become a transportation artery to the Beiping Palace, and it is expected that its subsequent battles will not be weak.
It can be seen that the people in this area are almost inhabited for several miles, and the people here have fled because of the war As the war in Yutian is in full swing, the situation in the west is unusually quiet. moved to the west city, and the general of the defenders in the city was Cai Xide, who led the army to defend it.
As for the main general of the Yan army, it was Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, who moved to the west for the main purpose of pinning down the defenders, and did not allow him to return to An Lushan, so as to provide time for Luo Yi to defeat An Lushan.
In fact, on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that all the cavalry under Luo Cheng's command are all cavalry.
How could Luo Cheng, who was familiar with cavalry tactics, be stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry At the same time as the war occurred in Yutian and Qianxi, the war in Jixian County, Zhuo County, was also in full swing.
The leader who led the siege was the Qi army, and its main general was also Su Lie.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Xian proposed a plan to march eastward at a galloping speed, which directly made An Jun converge with Luo Yi and destroy the thief An Lushan before he could react.
However, later, Jia Xu also made a slight change according to Zhang Xian's plan, changing it to the whole army storming Jixian.
Jixian County is an important city in Zhuo County, and it is the throat road to Beiping and even the entire Youzhou.
As long as it occupies this place, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Youzhou, and almost all the official roads in Youzhou are driven no matter what, and finally they must pass through Jixian County.
However, it is precisely because of the extremely important geographical location of Jixian County that Shi Siming, the commander of Zhuo County, also has a large army here.
It was not easy for the Qi army to capture Fan County.
However, although Jixian County was the county governance of Zhuo County in the past, since An Lushan rebelled, Shi Siming moved his county governance to Zhuo County according to the form.
After all, Zhuoxian County is closer to the north of Jizhou, and placing its focus here is even more conducive to resisting the siege of Gao Tansheng, Dou Jiande and other anti-kings.
Although Jixian County is also a choke point, it is in the hinterland with the attack of the An'an army at this time, and it is expected that there is no external threat.
Therefore, Shi Siming no longer pays attention to this place except for gathering 30,000 soldiers and horses here to defend it.
Jixian City, now in the midst of a handover situation, the Qi army soldiers have worked hard to attack the city, such as ladders, siege vehicles, and well railings and other siege weapons.
Moreover, in this battle, Su Lie personally commanded, and the siege troops from all walks of life cooperated tacitly, whether it was archers, sword and shield soldiers, or cloud echelons.
Moreover, the coordination of the well fence and the siege vehicle is just right For a while, the defenders above the city were miserable and cried out again and again.
It was really the offensive of the Qi army that was too fierce, and the siege was also very tacit, and Qin Qiong, He Yuanqing and other fierce generals personally went into battle to command the siege.
However, the fierceness is fierce, but Jixian County is not easy to capture.
After all, Jixian County used to be the county of Zhuo County, and its protection was already very strong, and its city walls were extremely thick and hard, and its height was nearly a few zhang.
Not only that, Jixian County has also successfully introduced Bohai Bay, and there is a wide moat several feet deep outside the city, which is leaning on natural hazards Moreover, Jixian County is not an empty city, but an army of 30,000 that has long been defended by the An army.
With a strong city defense and tens of thousands of soldiers, Rao is Qi army attacked rapidly, and Su Lie commanded well, and he couldn't easily capture Jixian.
However, judging from the offensive of the Qi army at this time, Jixian County is already crumbling, and it will feel like it will collapse at any time.
At this time, the confidence of the defenders in the city had already been destroyed by half, and they were deterred by the ferocity of the Qi soldiers, and they could not exert their previous combat power at all.
For a while, the guards of Jixian County had their backs to Jiancheng, but they were intimidated by the might of the Qi army, and hurriedly wrote an urgent report, and went to all directions to ask for help.
In fact, for all this, the main general Su Lie already knew about it, but he did not stop it.
When the soldiers besieged Jixian County, Su Lie hunted down and killed the spies around the An army, and then installed his own secret agents to secretly control all the movements around Jixian County.
Therefore, if the sentry of the An army wants to convey superstition, how can it hide from Su Lie's eyes However, Su Lie did not hunt him down, but instead showed a sneer on his face, as if the conspiracy had succeeded.
Regarding superstition, Su Lie knew what it was when he thought about it, it was nothing more than a letter asking for help, asking Shi Siming and An Lushan to lead the rescue and Jixian was in danger.
After all, few people have been able to resist the fierce offensive of the Qi army in recent days, and it is reasonable for its defenders to ask for reinforcements In fact, for the matter of storming Jixian County, Su Lie's real purpose was not to seize Jixian County.
Su Lie is a general who knows how to fight, and he knows the strength of Jixian County, and attacking is the next strategy The reason why the offensive was so fierce was that it used its momentum to deter the defenders in the city, so that its reinforcements gradually moved closer to it.
As long as this plan is realized, the Qi army can completely control the initiative, and at this time, Su Lie can calmly formulate a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
Encircling the point to send reinforcements is the strategy that Jia Xu added this time.
It must be known that the distribution of the Anjun army today is indeed extremely tricky and very difficult to deal with.
The main force of Zhuojun Shi Siming, Yutian An Lushan, and Cai Xide's department who moved west.
These three points are from point to surface, almost surrounding half of the traffic arteries of Youzhou.
Even if the Qi army is supported as reinforcements at this time, if this deadlock is not broken, it will still be impossible to take An Lushan Therefore, Jia Xu painstakingly came up with this trick to encircle the point to help.
Attacking Jixian with all its might is not its ultimate goal of taking Jixian County and capturing the city.
Instead, he wanted to use this as an illusion to confuse the An army, and his army had the strength to seize Jixian County, so that he would be afraid.
At that time, when the situation becomes more and more critical, it can create a sense of urgency for An Lushan, so that he can give the order to send reinforcements.
As long as the An army rescues Jixian, Su Lie's goal will be achieved, and he can send reinforcements at the encirclement point in Jixian County, attract all the main forces of An Lushan, and fight a battle.

As long as An Lushan can be severely damaged in a battle, I am afraid that I will not be able to rescue Youzhou and recover the lost territory Moreover, Su Lie also obeyed Jia Xu's plan, galloped out of the sentry cavalry day and night, went to Wuyuan to see Gao Qi, and asked to meet Dou Jiande, so that he could send troops north to attack An Lushan's plan.
An Lushan was originally a rising soldier, but its strength was not yet fully stable, and the foundation of the land under its rule was still shallow.
If Dou Jiande sent troops north, it would be easy to decide in a battle and capture An Lushan.
The most important point is that because Dou Jiande is located in Hebei, his strength is the strongest.
Moreover, because Dou Jiande was born as a commoner and implemented benevolent government under his rule, his people have attached themselves to him, which can be said to have reached the point of worship by tens of thousands of people.
Even in Youzhou, which has not yet been captured, many of its people have heard of Dou Jiande's benevolent government in Jizhou.
Therefore, once Dou Jiande leads the army to the north, it will definitely be able to cause chaos under An Lushan's rule, the soldiers have no will to fight, and the people are all thinking about change.
It must be known that in history, Dou Jiande was captured by Li Shimin and shown to the public.
Li Tang thought that Hebei could be decided with a snap of his fingers, but unfortunately the final outcome was that the remnants of Hebei still started under the banner of Dou Jiande.
The people of Hebei Province were grateful for Dou Jiande's favor and responded one after another For a while, the Hebei army was greatly shaken, and the Hebei army, which had already become a plate of scattered sand, was able to stalemate with the Tang army again.
Moreover, in its confrontation, there were slight victories and defeats, and even Li Tang's general Luo Shixin was killed.
It can be seen that Dou Jiande's prestige among the people will reach an unprecedentedly high level.
If it weren't for Gao Qi's coming from later generations, he knew the importance of winning the hearts and minds of the people, so he made many policies that were beneficial to the people and benefited the people.
I'm afraid that now, even Gao Qi's prestige among the people can't be compared to Dou Jiande As the saying goes: at what stage, there will naturally be some stage consideration.
This sentence is indeed true, because Dou Jiande is also a farmer, so he is very sympathetic to the people's suffering.
Therefore, after he came to power, he implemented benevolent government and allowed ordinary people to live and work in peace and contentment.
However, although it is a good move to let Dou Jiande send troops north and attack An Lushan.
However, both Su Lie and Jia Xu are deeply aware of the drawbacks of making assertions.
Connecting Dou Jiande, this matter is not something that Su Lie's subordinates can decide, this must be discussed by Qi King Gao Qi and Dou Jiande in person, and then a consensus can be reached before it can be implemented.
Immediately after, Su Lie continued to besiege Jixian on the one hand, in order to force the defenders in the city.
On the other hand, they are also secretly dispatching troops to set up defensive lines around Jixian County to resist the counterattack of the Anjun reinforcements In World War I to break the Anjun, with Su Lie's decisiveness and Zhang Xian, can Jia Xu's supplement be done Boling County is the northern county of Jizhou, and it is also the place under the rule of the anti-king Gao Tansheng at this time.
Since Gao Tan Sheng has always been angry, he has the ambition of swallowing Bohai County.
With the arrival of Yuan Shao, his plan to seize the Bohai Sea fell through, and he couldn't help but be very angry with Yuan Shao.
This time, Gao Tansheng seized the opportunity to attack Yuan Shao, hoping to destroy Yuan Shao and capture the Bohai Sea.
The reason why Gao Tansheng cares so much about Bohai is also because of the unique geographical environment of Bohai County.
The Bohai Sea belongs to the eastern part of Jizhou, close to the sea area, and the Bohai Bay circulates throughout the territory, resulting in fertile land and extremely developed agriculture and fishery.
Therefore, this has also created an extremely prosperous economy in the Bohai Sea, which is no wonder that it makes people blush.
However, the Bohai Sea is not so easy to capture.
Although Yuan Shao's strength is inferior to Gao Tansheng, he has not been sitting on the Bohai Sea for a long time.
It's just that Yuan Shao has a great advantage, that is, his family background.
Because Yuan Shao's family all served as high-ranking officials in the court, his family background was very prominent and his prestige was very high, and he was also very favored by the family Therefore, Yuan Shao became the master of Bohai, and his local families chose to attach themselves to and fully support Yuan Shao.
After all, Gao Tansheng does not wait to see the family, as for Dou Jiande, although he is strong, because his background is a commoner.
The family is all people with a very high vision, how can they assist Dou Jiande Yuan Shao is different, because he is from a family, he has a good impression of the family.
As for this time, all the families were shrewd people, and they reciprocated with peach, stood in Yuan Shao, contributed money and food to him, helped him expand his troops and horses, and straightened out his armaments.
Therefore, after Yuan Shao became the master of Bohai, his strength suddenly doubled in a very short period of time and competed with Gao Tansheng.
In fact, this is inseparable from the strong support of all families.
In the final analysis, Yuan Shao still relies on his family power, and his platform is several chips higher than ordinary people.
For a while, Gao Tansheng led the army to attack Yuan Shao, and the two armies were about to fight, preparing for a showdown As for this time, Dou Jiande, the king of Xia in Zhao County, the capital of Dingdu, received the envoy of the Qi army with courtesy.
It was only said that after Su Lie sent the sentry cavalry to rush day and night, and reported his request to Gao Qi.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Qi decisively agreed and sent an envoy to Jizhou to negotiate with Dou Jiande Moreover, in order to show the solemn etiquette, Gao Qi also specially ordered Pei Ju to send an envoy this time.
After connecting Pei Ju to the palace and sitting down in the main and secondary places, Pei Ju took the lead in thanking him and said: "King Xia, this time Ju specially came to meet King Xia on behalf of King Qi and thank you."
"This time, if it weren't for King Xia's reasoning, he would have given way to our army and went to northern Xinjiang to fight against Hu."
"I'm afraid that the situation in northern Xinjiang must be more auspicious now, and there is no need to exist."
"Not only that, when our army was short of food, at a critical juncture, King Xia sent military rations to our army, so that our army could fight with Hu Kou with peace of mind."
"Therefore, this time to drive Hu Kou out of the Great Wall, the great merit lies in King Xia."

Let's just say that Pei Ju is indeed a diplomat, and his argumentative ability is really extremely strong.
On the one hand, it also shows the strength of our own army, and it is all up to our army to finally save the overall situation into danger.
But on the other hand, Pei Ju's words did not forget Dou Jiande at all, and he also affirmed his contribution in this battle.
People have an inherently joyful heart, not to mention Dou Jiande, who is the king At this time, Dou Jiande was also extremely excited, forced to calm down, and said, "Hehe, where?"
"The anti-Hu incident was led by the King of Qi single-handedly, and he was killed by the elite sons and daughters under his command, how dare Dou take the first credit?"
Immediately, Dou Jiande was also a little humble and said a kind word.
Then, after pondering for a long time, Pei Ju said slowly: "King Xia, this time Ju came by the king's order."
"My lord wants to be able to form an alliance with King Xia forever, advance and retreat from each other, sweep away the heroes, and strive to clear the troubled times as soon as possible, restore peace in the world, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ju first vaguely said the intention of this visit, in order to test Dou Jiande's attitude.
Hearing this, Dou Jiande's face was stunned at first, obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect the Qi army to form an alliance with him.
However, the general trend of the world is only divided into interests, and it is common to fight and kill.
However, after all, this matter was too abrupt, and Dou Jiande also needed time to think about it, so he temporarily withdrew Pei Ju, and then discussed with the ministers.
Can the Xia army conclude an alliance with the Qi army?
