Chapter 439: The situation changes, and Lu Bu stirs up the situation It is only said that after the Xia army forcibly seized the Yishui defense line, they did not take any rest, and continued to gallop all the way to Laishui, converge with the army of the vast sea, and storm Laishui.
Without giving the soldiers any respite, although Laishui also arranged defenses, it was not as strong as Yishui's defense line.
Not only that, Laishui is more conducive to attack than Yishui, after all, Laishui is upstream, its tributaries are relatively wide, and the boat attack on the water can accommodate more soldiers at one time.
Therefore, with the onslaught of the Xia army, the An army held on for less than half a day before announcing the loss of Laishui At this time, the defender Zuo Tianwei wanted to rely on his own bravery to force back the Xia army and keep the Laishui defense line.
It's a pity that Zuo Tiancheng is encountering the galloping god general Xiong Kuhai, for a while, under the staggering of sticks and knives, Xiong Kuhai actually directly knocked Zuo Tiancheng's big knife away with a stick.
Moreover, under the blow, Zuo Tiancheng's internal organs were obviously hit hard, and a mouthful of blood spurted out straight ahead.
Immediately, Zuo Tiancheng dared to continue to stay, and in a panic, he fled on horseback and fled among the remnants.
For a while, with Zuo Tiancheng's evacuation of Laishui, the Xia soldiers finally cleared the resistance forces, occupied Laishui, and completely removed the obstacles to the march into Youzhou.
At this moment, Yishui and Laishui, the two natural defense lines of Youzhou, fell into the pockets of the Xia army, completely opening up the road to Zhuo County.
Just when the Xia army was frantically seizing Yishui and Laishui, the battle of Jixian was in full swing.
Shuofang, the county is rocky green At this time, Guo Ziyi, as an envoy of the Tang Army, had already arrived here and asked to meet Gao Qi, the king of Qi.
However, Gao Qi did not immediately summon Guo Ziyi, but put him aside, the most critical reason was because Gao Qi knew about his intentions.
After all, now the Tang Army has almost completely occupied most of the territory of Northern Xinjiang, and its Wuyuan County, except for the county governance of Jiuyuan, which is still in the hands of the Qi army, almost all the rest have fallen.
Because Jiuyuan City was too strong to capture, Princess Pingyang sent Guo Ziyi as an envoy to meet Gao Qi in the Qi army camp in order to reduce the casualties of forcibly capturing Jiuyuan, so as to negotiate the peaceful capture of Jiuyuan City.
In fact, Princess Pingyang knows very well that since the foundation of the Qi army is in the south of the Yangtze River, it will definitely not stay in the north for a long time, so Jiuyuan City will give up sooner or later and return to the south.
In this case, Gao Qiqi must also have the idea of exchanging cities with the Tang Army in his heart, but he will not give it away for no reason, and will let the Tang Army exchange his interests.
After all, Jiuyuan is also a city that the Qi army has worked so hard to capture, and it will be given up without any benefits, even if Gao Qi agrees, his soldiers will definitely not agree, and Princess Pingyang also knows this. is saying, Gao Qi is not a master who will suffer Therefore, after some discussion with her staff, as well as Li Mu and Guo Ziyi, Princess Pingyang took Guo Ziyi as an envoy, and her purpose was to negotiate with Jiuyuan and the Qi army.
It is only said that just when Gao Qi put Guo Ziyi aside, the war situation in northern Xinjiang had a new development, and at this time, the homeless Lu Bu actually took the opportunity to send troops to Datong City, an important city in the Wuyuan Wula Mountain area.
Not only that, but immediately after, Lu Bu led the cavalry with his son Lu Fang to gallop forward and went straight to the Datong front-line outpost "Fertile Field".
Since the focus of the Tang army at this time was to put the Great Wall on the front line to guard against the Turks outside the Saiwai and negotiate with the Qi army, they did not expect that Lü Bu would send troops to Wuyuan at this time, resulting in defenselessness in various places.
So easily, Lu Bujun easily seized Datong and the fertile land, officially fought with the Tang army, and led the army to contend with the Tang army.
However, Lü Bu was not a fool, he knew that his strength could not compete with the Tang army, so when he seized Datong, he also sent the Qi army facing Shuo to help.
On the other hand, he also sent an alliance with Dou Jiande in Jizhou to relieve the pressure brought by the Tang army.
As for Gao Qi, he did not immediately reply to Lu Bu, after all, the foundation of the Qi army is not here, and it is obviously not a wise move to rashly fight with the Tang army, so Gao Qi chose to watch from the wall and not help each other At this time, Dou Jiande was attacking Shi Siming in Youzhou, and it was Liu Heimin who stayed in Jizhou to receive the envoy of Lu Bujun.
After Liu Heimin learned about Lu Bu's situation at this time, he didn't dare to make decisions easily, after all, the monarch was Dou Jiande at this time, and making decisions without permission was by no means a way to protect himself, but was easy to be suspicious.
Therefore, Liu Heimin sent the herald to the front line at the first time, informed Dou Jiande of the situation, and asked him to make a decision in person, so as not to be suspicious.
Because the attack on Shi Siming was at a critical time at this time, and the Xia army was already at odds with the Tang army, because it was not adjacent to the territory of the Lu Bu army, it was beneficial and harmless to form an alliance with it.
Therefore, after Dou Jiande weighed the pros and cons, he sent an order to inform Liu Heimin that he secretly paid attention to the battle situation between Lü Bu's army and the Tang army, and if Lü Bu could not support it, he could appropriately send troops to Jingcheng and invade Taiyuan County, so as to respond to Lü Bu and force the Tang army to return to help.
However, although Gao Qi did not meet Guo Ziyi at this time, he was not anxious at all, he was refreshed every day, tasting wine and drinking tea, and had a good life.
Even if Gao Qi deliberately spread the news of Lu Bu's invasion of Wuyuan, Guo Ziyi only smiled and did not have any panic.
According to Guo Ziyi's understanding of Lu Bu, Lu Bu is just a reckless man, and the strength under his command is far inferior to that of the Tang Army, how can he be the opponent of Princess Pingyang and Li Mu, and sooner or later he will be captured In fact, in the final analysis, Guo Ziyi looked down on Lu Bu at all, and didn't take it into account in his heart.
After all, Guo Ziyi was born in the Guanlong aristocracy, and Lu Bu was only from the ordinary people of Wuyuan, and it was only with some military exploits that he finally obtained an official and a half position.
How can such a person enter Guo Ziyi's eyes, and it is reasonable to look down on him, plus Lu Bu has the stain of betraying the master, which will make the scholars shameful.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Dong Zhuo had not colluded with Hu Kou, Lu Bu's betrayal would have been ruined as in history, and there would be no place for the world In the final analysis, the key reason is that the feud between the Han people and Hu Kou has existed since ancient times, and it is difficult to eliminate it at all.
In fact, the real reason why Guo Ziyi looked down on Lu Bu was that the two were good at different fields, Guo Ziyi always thought that only by commanding the three armies, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away, this was the best choice For a fierce general like Lu Bu who attacked the enemy formation, he looked down on him, after all, even if you were in the three armies of Yongguan, could you be a hundred enemies, but you could still be ten thousand enemies Even if he was the overlord of Western Chu back then, wasn't he among the millions of people in the Han army, and he was forced to drink and hate himself Wujiang Therefore, Guo Ziyi is scornful of force, and looking down on force is the truest thought in his heart.
At this time, Feng'an Town, the Tang Army camp Its commander, Princess Pingyang, had already learned through the scouts that Lu Bu had taken the opportunity to attack Datong and Woye, so she immediately summoned the lieutenant generals and colonels to discuss a strategy to break the enemy.
"Everyone, I think you should also know what this marshal is doing this time, so I won't beat around the bush, I don't know what countermeasures your generals have."
For a while, on the throne of the big tent, Princess Pingyang saw that all the generals in the army were behind her, so she opened her mouth to ask first.
Hearing this, Li Zhongwen, the general of his army, immediately stood up and asked for battle in order to perform, and said: "Princess, the last general will ask for battle, send troops to Lu Jun, and he will definitely behead Lu Bu and come to meet the princess." ” Although this statement is exaggerated, Li Zhongwen's bravery is indeed not weak, and no one else refutes his words.
Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Shili were all Yuangong generals who followed Princess Pingyang to raise troops from Guanzhong and responded to Li Yuan's army.
This time, Li Yuan knew the importance of Northern Xinjiang to Li Tang, and not only asked Princess Pingyang to go to Northern Xinjiang to preside over the overall situation, but also sent the generals under his original command to assist in the army.
However, the fact that the rest of the generals under his command did not discourage Li Zhongwen's enthusiasm does not mean that Princess Pingyang will not be attacked. ” "General Li, don't underestimate the enemy."
Immediately, Princess Pingyang first admonished her to restrain her character and not be too proud After that, Princess Pingyang continued to speak: "Don't underestimate Lu Bu, although the strength of the Lu army is far weaker than my Tang army, its bravery is not inferior. ” "The last time Lu Bu fought against Yang Lin, the backer of the Sui Dynasty, he fought against the six generals of the Sui army, and even Ding Yanping, who was known for his bravery, did not dare to face him."
"This shows that Lu Bu's bravery must not be underestimated, and we must all treat it carefully" I have to say that Princess Pingyang is worthy of being a general, even if her army is stronger than Lu Bu, she is not arrogant or impatient, and she sees Lu Bu's bravery very thoroughly.
At the same time, he tried his best to dissuade the generals under his command with words, not to underestimate the enemy too much, and to underestimate Lu Bu's combat strength.

In fact, it is reasonable for Princess Pingyang to be cautious this time, since Lu Bu was able to dominate Wuyuan for several years, and survived in the Sui army, the Tang army, and the Saiwai Hukou, and was not exterminated, it shows that its strength must not be weak.
For such an enemy, if you despise it, you will definitely suffer a big loss, saying that Lu Bu is a fierce tiger who chooses people and loves people, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be bitten back.
Even Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei Wu, who had outstanding military talents, was afraid of Lu Bu and wanted to die.
Subsequently, Li Zhongwen carefully followed the teachings of Princess Pingyang, immediately calmed down, surrendered his hand to ask for advice, and said: "Then I don't know how the princess is going to meet the enemy."
"How to expel Lu Bu and recover Datong and Fertile Fields" Hearing this, Princess Pingyang had already thought of a strategic decision, and said slowly: "According to the order of the commander, the whole army will rest for a day, and tomorrow the army will start to cross the Yellow River to the north, and approach the fertile field to meet Lu Bu." ” All of a sudden, Princess Pingyang also immediately became serious and ordered to meet Lu Bu, and between her words, there was no fear of Lu Bu.
This is the real talent of a general, on the one hand, he recognizes Lu Bu's strength, but on the other hand, he is not afraid of Lu Bu's bravery and dares to fight against him.
Next, after the order to send troops was delivered, Princess Pingyang led the army with a calm heart Qiu Shili to hold this place, confronting the Qi army in Jiuyuan City, and beware of its sudden attack on her own army.
Although Princess Pingyang knew that the Qi army would not participate in any military operations between her army and Lu Bu's army, as the main general of one side, she still had to be cautious.
After all, it is indispensable to defend against others Subsequently, Princess Pingyang sent an order to stick to the Li Mu Department of Yongfeng at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and told him to strictly guard the Yinshan defense line, and not let Hu Kou take advantage of the fire to rob, and once again enter the interior and plunder the Han land.
From this, it can also be seen that Princess Pingyang also has a very important overall situation in her heart, although she is leading the army to participate in the civil war, but at the same time, she is also worried about the interests of the Han people and beware of Hu Kou.
As for arranging all the affairs, early the next morning, Princess Pingyang was dressed in armor and a sword at her waist.
Even the ancient heroine Mulan, I'm afraid she can't do it Yellow River, Uga River Originally, Princess Pingyang's plan was to cross the Yellow River, approach the fertile field, and take it back in one fell swoop before Lu Bu could react.
It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu actually occupied the favorable river beach along the coast in advance and set up a defensive line to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river.
For a while, Princess Pingyang symbolically launched a river-crossing attack, but unfortunately all ended in failure, and in desperation, she had to set up a position on the other side of the Wujia River to confront it.
I have to say that at this time, Lu Bu's turmoil made Gao Qi see the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth, originally when the Tang army swept through all parts of northern Xinjiang, the soldiers were extremely high for a while, but Gao Qi still had no clue, how to solve the matter of handing over Jiuyuan City with the Tang army.
Is it possible to give it to Tang Jun for no reason and without asking for anything in return, how could Gao Qi make a wedding dress for others At this time, Lu Bu's turmoil has greatly reversed the situation, just imagine, if the Tang army and Lu Bu are in a stalemate for a long time at this time, the grain route must be a great problem.
It must be known that the principle that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, can be seen how high the proportion of grain and grass is in the war.
However, if Jiuyuan City is in the hands of the Qi army for a long time, it will undoubtedly plant a time bomb in the rear of the Tang army, which will explode at any time and put it in the most dangerous situation.
After all, even if it is an ordinary escort of grain and grass, it has to pass through the territory of Jiuyuan, thus facing the possibility of military food being robbed.
Therefore, with the appearance of Lu Bu for a while, Gao Qi held the initiative and decided the life and death of Tang Jun.
At this moment, Gao Qiqi hoped in his heart that Lu Bu would not be wiped out by the Tang army too early, and try to hold back the main force of the Tang army's northern frontier.
As long as the time drags on, then the situation will be more favorable to the Qi army, and Gao Qi will be able to better open his mouth and snatch food from the Tang army.
In this way, Gao Qi could use Jiuyuan City as a bargaining chip in exchange for the greatest reward from the Tang Army.
I have to say that the situation in northern Xinjiang has changed because of Lu Bu alone, which can be called a "-stirring stick" stirring in it, which makes the Tang army extremely uncomfortable.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, along the Wujia River, the Tang army was still in a confrontation with Lu Bu's department.
Princess Pingyang also knew that the long delay would be extremely unfavorable to her own army, so she also stormed the Lu army on the other side to make a breakthrough.
However, the defense line of the Lu army was also extremely tight, and Lu Bu personally commanded several half-crossing attacks, so that the Tang army was broken and sunk in the sand.
For a moment, the battle situation was deadlocked Not only that, Liu Heimin, who stayed in Jizhou at this time, also saw the opportunity and led the troops to gallop in the direction of Jingcheng in person, attacking Jingcheng Pass, an important checkpoint in Taiyuan County of the Tang Army.
For a while, the situation of the Tang Army was like a broken ship leaking everywhere, and its situation was also extremely difficult.
The war situation in northern Xinjiang is so deadlocked, how to break the call of the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty :
