Chapter 92 Attacked
The battle situation was not going well, and the Turks wanted to withdraw their troops, but Xue Yantuo rarely had such a good opportunity, so how could he easily let the Turks go.

As soon as the Turkic army retreated, Xue Yantuo's infantry remounted their horses and chased after them, following the Turkic army for another charge.

When Xieli retreated to a safe place and counted the number of people, there were only 4 of the [-] fine riders left.

18 troops went out and only 4 came back. The situation in Yugushe is still unclear. In this battle alone, the Turkic troops have been lost by half. The [-] elite.

Since Da Jieli was born, it was the first time he had suffered such a disastrous defeat.

Who would have thought that Jieli Khan, who had conquered the Wei River more than a year ago and forced the Tang Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city, would now be cut off at the hands of the Tiele people.

Of course, the blow to Jieli was far more than that. When Jieli led the army and retreated to Khan Court for several days, the messenger sent by Liang Shi to ask for help had been waiting for a long time, and sent the news of Tang's encirclement and suppression of Shuofang.

"Khan, the Tang army suddenly attacked Shuofang. The east city of Shuofang has been lost, and the west city is about to lose its hold. My majesty hastily ordered the villain to come here, and ask Khan to send troops to rescue the siege!" Jieli and his group had just arrived in Khan. In the courtyard, Xin Liaoer, the messenger of Liang Shidu, saw Jieli's return, so he fell in front of Jieli's horse and said excitedly.

Liang Shidu separatist rule Shuofang for a generation, proclaimed himself Emperor Liang, and later was canonized by the Turks as "Emperor Jieshi", so Liang Shidu's subordinates also referred to Liang Shidu as His Majesty.

Datang took advantage of the Turks' northward march and entered at a void. It stands to reason that Yijieli's temperament should be thunderous and furious.

But when Xieli heard the news of Tang's attack on Shuofang from Xin Liaoer, Xieli's first feeling was not anger, or even anxiety, but a sudden fatigue.

Since this period of time, Xieli has received too much bad news.

From the loss of grain and grass, to the fall of Qibei, to the defeat of the Northern Expedition, and to the current Tang Dynasty attacking Liang, Jieli suddenly felt a sense of fatigue. This was the first time in Jieli's life that he felt this feeling.

Inexplicably tired, Xie Li, who had been running around for days, suddenly felt dizzy in his head. If he hadn't been skilled in bowing and horses, he would have almost fallen off his horse.

If it is said that the Battle of Qibei broke Jieli's wing, then the Battle of Shuofang cut off both of Xieli's feet. If Shuofang was really lost, then his way to the south was blocked, so how can he talk about going south? Compete with Datang?

"When did it happen?" Xie Li asked, holding his forehead after listening to Xin Liaoer's words.

Xin Liaoer replied: "Five days ago, the Tang army broke through the East City five days ago."

After hearing Xin Liaoer's words, Xieli's heart was already half cold.

The reason why Shuofang is a strong city is that the east and west cities serve as horns to restrain each other. If the east city is lost, the west city will become an isolated city. How can it be kept for a long time.

On the fifth day, when Xieli heard about this time, he was at a loss.

Master Liang is mediocre, can he survive five days with just an isolated city?Xieli didn't even have the slightest confidence in Master Liang.

And now that the Turks were newly defeated and their vitality was seriously injured, how could they have the energy left to go south to help Liang Shidu defend the city? Jieli thought about it for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Bring Tang Zizi to Ben Khan!"

----------

Although Liang Shidu's talents are ordinary, after all, the west city of Shuofang has been repaired several times by him, and it can be called a powerful city. It is not easy for the Tang army to attack from outside.

When Xin Liaoer brought Liang Shidu's request for help to Xieli, the Tang army outside the west city had been besieging the city for several days.

The city of Shuofang is high and deep, with plenty of food and grass, so it is not afraid of the Tang army besieging the city. It is just that the Tang army has been besieging the city for several days, and Liang Shidu sent letters to Khan Court for help for a long time, but no Turkic reinforcements came. I have made a mess of porridge.

In a mansion in the south of the west city of Shuofang, General Liang Luoren of the Shuofang Army was lying on the bed, panting heavily, while her concubine took the wound medicine and applied it gently to his back.

"Slow down, slow down." The wound medicine touched the wound that had just begun to scab, causing a feeling of itching but not itching, pain but not pain, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Ah Lang, I'm already very slow, this wound medicine will have to be applied after all, you just bear with it." The concubine looked at Liang Luoren's appearance and softly comforted her.

Liang Luoren used to be the coach of Dongcheng. The scars on his body were not given by Tang Jun, but by his cousin Liang Shidu.

Five days ago, when the Tang army broke through the east city, Liang Luoren led the army to break through and fled back to the west city. Master Liang pursued Liang Luoren for the crime of losing the city. Although he didn't kill him, they beat him severely.

This beating caused Liang Luoren to stay in bed for several days, and he has not recovered a little until today.

"General, Sima Liu Lancheng is asking to see you." Liang Luoren finished taking the medicine and just put on his clothes when the guard outside the door came in and reported.

"Liu Lancheng? Why is he looking for me?" Liang Luoren and Liu Lancheng were not familiar with each other, and they were just colleagues. How could Liu Lancheng look for him at this juncture.

Liang Luoren's first thought was that Liu Lancheng must be here for business, so he ordered the guards to bring Liu Lancheng in.

"Liu Sima is here, but Your Majesty has something important to say?" Liang Luoren asked the guards to lead Liu Lancheng into the mansion.

Liu Lancheng smiled and said: "The general guessed right, the next official came here at the order of His Majesty."

Liang Luoren did not doubt that he was there, and asked: "Why did Your Majesty order Liu Sima to come here?"

Liu Lancheng looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he said softly to Liang Luoren: "Why didn't the general ask me which Majesty ordered me to come here?"

After hearing Liu Lancheng's words, Liang Luoren suddenly reacted.

Xiazhou Sima Liu Lancheng and Chang Shi Liu Min were old friends, and Liu Min surrendered to Tang, so what about Liu Lancheng?
"Are you a spy sent by Emperor Tang?" Liang Luoren asked sharply.

Liu Lancheng asked rhetorically, "A spy? What the general said was a little harsh. I worked for the imperial court to fight against the Turkic barbarians. What is a spy? Don't we have to recognize a thief as our father and learn from Liang Shidu to be a running dog of the Turkic people?" Is it a nice boy?"

Liu Lancheng's words choked Liang Luoren.

For the sake of his own power, Master Liang was willing to be the watchdog of the Turkic people and guard Shuofang for the Turkic people. This is an indisputable fact, no one can argue with it.

After hearing Liu Lancheng's words, Liang Luoren didn't know how to refute for a moment, he just pointed at Liu Lancheng and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you act so recklessly?"

Liu Lancheng shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the benefit of killing me and the general? Let's take a look at the injuries on his body. Is Liang Shidu really worthy of my following? The Liang masters rebelled against the Sui Dynasty back then. He can be regarded as a good man, but now, he is willing to be a dog of the Turkic people, is this still the Liang Shidu we served to die for?"

Liu Lancheng's words touched Liang Luoren's heart. Although Liang Luoren and Liang Shidu were cousins, when Liang Shidu put these whips on Liang Luoren, why did he ever treat him as a brother?
Seeing Liang Luoren's pensive look, Liu Lancheng knew that Liang Luoren had listened to his words, so Liu Lancheng continued: "Master Liang is the running dog of the Turkic people, and was abandoned by the world long ago. Now the Great Tang is conquering Liang. Shidu, the general still doesn't take the opportunity anyway, do you really want to follow Liang Shidu's back and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?"

Liang Luoren doesn't care if he will be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years, what he really cares about is his own wealth and life.

Liang Luoren said: "Master Liang is backed by Turkic people, how easy is it for Tang Jun to break Shuofang?"

Liu Lancheng laughed and said: "The Turkic people will not come. Last year it snowed heavily, and [-]% of the Turkic people froze to death and starved to death. After the spring, Jieli led his army to fight against Tiele. There is no room left to take care of Shuofang."

Liang Luoren was shocked when he heard this.

Only then did he understand why the Turkic people were so abnormal this time, even after Liang Shidu sent a letter begging for help for a long time, there was no sign of reinforcements, so the problem lies here.

Master Liang has been able to occupy Shuofang for many years, relying on the support of the Turkic people, but if there is no Turkic reinforcements, Master Liang can defend Shuofang City by himself, it is tantamount to fantasy.

Seeing Liang Luoren's already tempted look, Liu Lancheng took out a secret letter from his bosom, and handed it to Liang Luoren: "Ronghua and wealth are at your fingertips, why bother to follow Master Liang and be that barbarian lackey!"
