With Qin Qiong who was responsible for the delay and blocking, Luo Shixin led the cavalry to climb the suspension bridge in an orderly manner. The Sui army on the top of Puban City, under the command of Pang Yu, Sang Xianhe and others, shot a dense rain of arrows under the city, repelling the troops of the Li family and his son who were chasing the city in a mess. Xu Shiye led his troops to safely enter Puban City as if he had entered a cage...

"The combat power and high quality of General Xu belongs to him is strong. From this we can see that the major general is very good at governing the army! With the help of the major general, it will be more difficult for these rebels to capture Puban than climbing to the sky..."

At this moment, Qu Tutong, the old commander of Sui Ting who had invited Xu Shiye to the lobby of Hedong Prefecture, had not waited for each other to sit down, his voice was a little hoarse, but he still spoke loudly and praised him.

In fact, it was not Qu Tutong who deliberately flattered him with praise. After decades of his career in the army, he had clearly understood the strict military appearance and strong combat power of Xu Shiye's troops on the head of Puban City.

"The veteran general is too proud! Hongde is really a beauty of plundering others. If you say infantry, Hongde is worthy of his leadership, and he is commanded by General Liu, Hongde; if you say iron cavalry, they are originally belonging to the court, and their strength is also attributed to the veteran General Pei Renji!

Oh, let’s not say that. Hongde introduced to the old general: This noble daughter of a foreign country is Princess Aima, the most beloved by the Turkic Khan. The princess is Hongde’s friend with a strong personal relationship. She came to Hedong with Hongde, and she also had the intention of helping to defend the city. The princess’s intention was: If a Turkic subordinate assists the Li family’s father and son, the princess will come forward to repel her.”

Xu Shiye had long noticed that Qu Tutong would sometimes frown when he was walking with him, and glanced at Aima who followed him with confusion (it could be seen clearly in broad daylight: there was a difference in clothing, a yellow hair). Therefore, out of respect for Aima, he first introduced Qu Tutong to him as soon as he changed his tone. Of course, Xu Shiye also emphasized the word "personal friendship" in his tone, so as not to cause Qu Tutong to suspect that he was in a sensation with the Turks.

At this moment, in addition to returning to the throne of Rao Junsu, the other generals on both sides had not yet arrived at the government office because the military affairs had not been handled.

After Qu Tutong quickly and politely exchanged a few words with Aima, Xu Shiye, whose expression was solemn and did not have much smile, immediately became the main topic:

"Hongde has always been in a state of mind. The veteran general should not blame Hongde for his abrupt speech because of his anxious words!

Hongde only led thousands of soldiers to Puban so urgently, not because he was worried that the old general would not be able to defend Puban. Hongde originally thought that with the old general's extraordinary military strategy and battlefield experience, even if the Li family father and son gathered like thieves, it would be difficult to break Puban where the old general was there.

In fact, to the old general, Hongde now has no less than 200,000 subordinates with strong combat power as the soldiers he led. For example, Hongde leads his troops out in full swing, and it is not difficult to help the old generals destroy the Li family father and son. However, the mobilization of the army must be slow. Moreover, Hongde belongs to Juntun and Qinghe and Xindu. More than a month has passed when he arrives in Hedong. Hongde is worried that the overall situation will change and it is too late!

Previously, Hongde said that Hongde was not worried that the old general could not defend Hedong. However, Hongde did not want to mobilize the army, and only led a small number of troops to come to Hedong so urgently? Hongde was worried that the current momentum and gathered a large number of Li family fathers and sons would use tricks to lead the army westward, endangering the old capital Chang'an!

In this matter, with the old general's extraordinary military strategy, Hongde's slight reminder, it is like watching the fire, and Hongde no longer has to worry about it.

Therefore, Hongde rushed to Hedong with a small amount of military force to station the old general in Hedong, and block the two groups of attacks by the Li family father and son in Guanzhong. However, Old General Qu should immediately lead his army back to Guanzhong, convene all the troops from all over the place to gather in the old capital Chang'an, and defend Chang'an.

As long as the old general can hold on with the high walls of Chang'an for several months, Hongde's army will also surround the backs of the Li family father and son. At that time, because Chang'an cannot capture it for a long time, the army will inevitably be filled with people and the army will be separated. Hongde will attack the old general again, and waiting for the end of the Li family father and son, will undoubtedly be a desperate situation!"

These words are really the best result that Xu Shiye hopes for in his heart. If he can destroy the biggest opponent in his heart, Li, who is too short and has a chaotic time, will inevitably achieve twice the result with half the effort for Xu Shiye's future.

However, Reason told Xu Shiye: This was only an exaggeration of his inspiration to increase Qu Tutong's confidence. Since Li Jiancheng had joined forces to cross the river so quickly, Sun Hua's troops surrounded Puban, predicting that Xu Shiye was unwilling to accept the most likely fact:

Li Yuan had already led his army to advance westward. The best result was that he had no time to mobilize heavy troops to station in Chang'an. He acted faster and he might have time to rush back to Chang'an to preside over the city. Otherwise, Qu Tutong himself might not even be able to rush back to Chang'an and lead his troops to besiege between Tong and Chang'an.

While Xu Shiye was rushing to talk, Qu Tutong, who was sitting in the main seat, had already put away the smile on his face and became solemn. When Xu Shiye stopped talking, Qu Tutong blurted out loud:

"Ah...! Don't blame King Wei and Pei and Yang for recommending the Major General with great praise. The helpless General Pei also led his troops to Hebei! Recently, I also felt something. However, the Major General had foresaw this before he arrived. It can be seen how talented the Major General is! Perhaps this is because God pity the country and country of the Great Sui Dynasty, so that the young heroes like the Major General came to save me?

With the major general here, I also believe that I can hold on to Puban, and I should be relieved to rush back to Chang'an urgently.

However, the major general is still a little too young. I will ask Rao Yingyang to lead thousands of his troops to assist the major general in garrison at Puban! I will prepare and break the siege and rush back to Chang'an from tomorrow morning."

In this way, before the generals with military affairs on both sides arrived at the government office, Qu Tutong made the final decision very decisively.

In fact, this is not because Qu Tutong trusts Xu Shiye who has only met, and he agreed to Xu Shiye's suggestion without hesitation. The reasons for this are also many aspects.

First of all, Qu Tutong, who was very experienced in the industry, even Xu Shiye didn't even think of him at all. He had already had a premonition that the situation was very bad. Because he was worried about the safety of Chang'an, he had no choice.

Secondly, Yang Ji has been demoted for more than ten years, and his recommendation letter can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. The most important thing is the recommendation letters of Pei Shiju and Yang Yichen who have been ministers for decades. Qu Tutong, who has a deep understanding of these two people, definitely believes that the scheming Pei Shiju and the loyal Yang Yichen will not miss him at this time.

It is only for consideration of family interests. If the Sui Ting is destroyed, such as Pei Shiju and Yang Yichen (Rang Ran, including Qu Tutong himself), the remaining officials of the Sui Ting, waiting for their personal and family fate, can be imagined.

Therefore, whether it is the cunning Pei Shiju or the straightforward Yang Yichen, they will definitely stand with Qu Tutong. Even if they have had a relationship with Qu Tutong in the past, they will replace Qu Tutong without hesitation, and furthermore, they will plan for the Great Sui Dynasty.

....

In this way, from the next morning, Qu Tutong took Pang Yu, Sang Xianhe, Huo Shiju and other selected 20,000 elite troops out of Puban City, and broke through the encirclement and rushed to Guanzhong. In Puban City, in addition to the nearly 5,000 infantry and cavalry troops under Xu Shiye's troops, there were also five and six thousand Sui troops led by Rao Junsu. Of course, among these five and six thousand Sui troops, not only were there many wounded soldiers, but the components were also mainly composed of the old and the weak. If they were to defend the city, they would be unable to bear the defeat.

According to Xu Shiye's very unsatisfactory prediction: his arrival was only because Qu Tutong took away more elite soldiers than the original history; he also hoped that Qu Tutong would be able to successfully fight back to Chang'an with this.

I really felt that Xu Shiye, who was already a young man, seemed a little annoyed and repeatedly told Qu Tutong before Qu Tutong: Both sides must communicate with each other quickly, so as not to have an unexpected accident, and both sides can find ways to take care of each other.

In order to avoid Qu Tutong, who was like a senior, being disgusted with his constant preaching, Xu Shiye could only revive the bait that "he is mobilizing the army to prepare for reinforcements to Guanzhong" and said: Understand the situation and determine the strategy of advancing more accurately.

In fact, Xu Shiye himself understood very well: to mobilize the army? Not to mention whether he wants to Hebei. Just in terms of time, when the army arrives in one or two months, the daylily may have been cold! Therefore, he did not make any arrangements for this.

Qu Tutong's 20,000 elite soldiers broke through the encirclement outside Puban City with great force and rushed south all the way. However, the army with fewer entry and more exits retreated from Puban was also stimulated to have basically only siege but not attacked (actually not very good). With Li Jian as the head coach, the army of Li's father and son launched a fierce attack.

Li Jiancheng, who was sent by Liu Yuan, led his troops to reinforce him again. On the day after Qu Tutong led his army to leave Puban, he officially launched a fierce siege on Puban.

Speaking of the current Li family, they are really as rich as nouveau riche! As long as the military power is mobilized, there will be a large army of tens of thousands! Now, the unknown Lu Shaozong led by the army to reinforce Li Jiancheng, another 30,000 to 40,000. At present, Li Jiancheng, who was only nineteen years old and was originally a wealthy young man, has transformed himself into the commander of nearly 150,000 troops in just over a month!

If Li Jiancheng was replaced by Xu Shiye, he would immediately reorganize the 150,000 troops and use the abilities of different categories, so that the 150,000 troops would do whatever they were suitable for!

However, Li Jiancheng, the eldest young master of the Li family, was not the case. Instead, he adhered to the idea that if there were too many people, he even "piled" all 150,000 people, regardless of good or bad, to Puban City. The camp was next to the hard disk, and the camp tent was next to the camp. It might have been crowded, and Puban City was surrounded by airtight.

Standing on the head of Puban City, looking at it, there are many people on all sides of the city! There are no signs of it at first sight. Of course, due to the large number of people and the military discipline is still very scattered, the children under Puban City crying and the wives screaming and making noise all day long is inevitable.

Xu Shiye, who was looking at the city with his generals and Yao Junsu, laughing out loud, and laughed and scolded, "Your grandma's Li Jiancheng! Are you raising pigs or grazing?"
