The strategy Fang Xuanling and the others came up with for Li Er was very simple, that is to direct the Turkic people's attention to the more affluent Jizhou in the east.

 Let Liu Wuzhou take the Turkic people to attack Jizhou in the next step, even if Xu Feng wants to fight at that time, he will have no choice.

 At this time, Xu Feng was on Jizhou's side, and he had already received the news that Liu Wuzhou had seized Hedong, led the Turkic people to go south, and wreaked havoc in Bingzhou.

 "Liu Wuzhou, I will smash your corpse into thousands of pieces!"

 Xu Feng's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his whole body exuded a strong killing intent, which seemed to make the surrounding temperature a bit colder, stronger than Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao and others, who were silent like cicadas.

 Xu Feng was extremely angry when he learned that Liu Wuzhou had used Turkic troops to defeat the Tang army in Bingzhou and seized most of the territory in Hedong.

 Among them, it is one thing to be angry at Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, but what makes Xu Feng even more angry is that Liu Wuzhou actually led the Turkic cavalry southward, which is simply leading the wolf into the house.

 At this time, because of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks in the north were stable, and the strength of the Turks grew stronger.

 At this time, the Turkic people, like all the nomadic peoples who became stronger in the north of ancient China, were looking for opportunities to go south and step into the Central Plains.

 And now, Liu Wuzhou provided such an opportunity to the Turks.

 "Li Cunxiao, how many cavalry are still in the city?"

 Xu Feng turned to look at Li Cunxiao and asked.

 "Returning to Your Majesty, General Bai Qi took away [-] cavalry. Now there are less than [-] cavalry in the city. In addition, there are [-] surrendered cavalry and [-] newly formed cavalry."

 Li Cunxiao replied.

 "The rookie cavalry is hopeless.

 Immediately send an order to Bai Qi, asking him to send back all the cavalry he took away, and replenish him with the infantry left in the city.

 Hand over the [-] surrendered cavalry to Zhu Wei, and then send an order to Luo Yi to return to Zhuojun and lead [-] cavalry to join Handan. "

 Xu Feng's face was gloomy, and he gave an order.

 "Your Majesty, are we going to fight Liu Wuzhou?"

 Dian Wei, who was beside him, asked in a low voice.

 "Liu Wuzhou, I'm sure I'll kill him. If I don't kill him, I won't let it go."

 "Okay, this kind of thief should be killed, I killed him for His Majesty."

 Dian Wei said excitedly, anyway, no matter who Xu Feng goes to fight, Dian Wei doesn't care, as long as he can follow Xu Feng to the battlefield to fight, anyway, it is more comfortable than staying in the city to live such a leisurely life.

 At the end of June, after Luo Yi received Xu Feng's order, he should not be negligent, and returned to Zhuojun urgently, and then led his [-] cavalry southward to join Xu Feng.

 At the same time, Bai Qi, who was leading Xu Chu, Lin Chong and Luo Shixin, who was fighting in Shandong at this time, also received Xu Feng's order.

 Immediately, Bai Qi asked Xu Chu to return to Yongning City with [-] Sui cavalry.

 As Xu Chu returned with 7 Sui cavalry, Xu Feng had nearly [-] cavalry, more than he brought from the east.

 This is mainly due to the [-] Zhuo County cavalry brought by Luo Yi, and the [-] Xia Army cavalry who surrendered from the Xia Army.

 In the blink of an eye, it was July, and Xu Feng placed [-] cavalry in Handan, and sent scouts to collect information in advance, preparing to enter Bingzhou and destroy Liu Wuzhou.

 "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, Liu Wuzhou has now occupied most of Hedong, leaving only two counties in the southwest of Hedong, which are still in the hands of the Li Tang rebels."

 "I don't care about Liu Wuzhou, I want to know how many troops Liu Wuzhou has under his command?

 In particular, how many Turkic cavalry were there to help him go south and enter the customs. "

 Xu Feng said coldly, he still attaches great importance to the Turkic cavalry.

 "Returning to Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by our scouts, Liu Wuzhou has a total of about 10 troops, including more than [-] cavalry.

 But this time, the Turkic cavalry who followed Liu Wuzhou to the south totaled more than [-] cavalry. "

 "Thirty thousand Turkic cavalry? Fortunately, not many."

 Xu Feng nodded after hearing this. What he was most worried about was that the Turkic cavalry was marching southward at this time, and there might not be tens of thousands of cavalry by then.

 "This battle must be decided quickly, and Liu Wuzhou and this Turkic cavalry that entered the pass and went south should be eliminated as soon as possible.

 I want to use this battle to tell the Turkic people to stay outside the pass honestly, and the pass is not where they should come.

 If there is no permission from me, any Turkic cavalry who enters the south and invades our territory of the Sui Dynasty.

 I will cut as many as you come. "

 Xu Feng's words were sonorous.

 "Li Cunxiao, Xu Chu, Luo Yi, Zhu Wei, the four of you go back to prepare, and the army will set out in two days."

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 This time, Xu Feng was going to bring nearly [-] Sui army cavalry, all cavalry, without infantry, what he wanted was a quick battle.

 As a result, Xu Feng's army hadn't set out yet.

 On July [-]th, Xu Feng suddenly received news that Liu Wuzhou led the Turkic cavalry to conquer Huguan and entered Jizhou.

 After Liu Wuzhou and the Turks passed through Huguan and entered Wu'an County of Jizhou, they directly headed towards Yongnian City where Xu Feng was at this time.

 "What, Liu Wuzhou brought the Turkic people to kill us?"

 After Xu Feng received the news, he was immediately stunned.

 "General Xu, are you sure your news is correct?"

 Luo Yi was also surprised and asked Xu Chu.

 "Of course, my scouts reported back overnight. At this time, Liu Wuzhou has captured Huguan, and he probably has already reached Wu'an County."

 Xu Chu glanced at Luo Yi, a little dissatisfied with Luo Yi's question, and said.

 "Did they run after His Majesty?"

 Suddenly, Luo Shou next to Luo Yi said something, and everyone looked at him.

 "Hehe, I'm just talking casually."

 Being stared at by everyone, Luo Shou thought he had said something wrong, so he laughed dryly and said.

 "No, Luo Shou, you are right, Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic people may really come here after me."

 When Xu Feng was reminded by Luo Shou, he really reacted.

 "Hehe, this way, it saves my effort."

 Xu Feng sneered.

 In fact, this is indeed the case.

 This time Liu Wuzhou crossed Huguan with the Turkic people and killed him in Wu'an County of Jizhou, he really came here for Xu Feng.

 It turned out that Li Er asked Xu Maogong to try to buy a counselor under Liu Wuzhou's command with a lot of money, and asked that counselor to tell Liu Wuzhou that Yang Guang was in Wu'an County, Jizhou at this time.

 Moreover, the counselor lied about the battle situation, saying that the Sui army had suffered heavy losses after defeating Dou Jiande, and this time was a good opportunity to capture Yang Guang alive.

 The counselor's words really moved Liu Wuzhou's heart, but he hesitated.

 In the end, the counselor had a private meeting with Ashina Pinzhen, the leader of the Turkic army, and told Ashina Pinzhen that Jizhou in the east was a land richer than Bingzhou.

 This time, Ashinapin really entered the pass with Liu Wuzhou. The two sides had an agreement, that is, every time a city was conquered, the Turks could plunder for half a day.

 In the past two years, the people of Bingzhou can be regarded as suffering. Every time Liu Wuzhou went to the city, Ashinapin would let the Turkic soldiers plunder for half a day, plundering a large population and countless money and food.

 Although Liu Wuzhou felt distressed, after all, the people and money and food that these Turkic people robbed belonged to him!

 But Liu Wuzhou also understood that he would not have the guts to enter the customs without the sudden cavalry to help out.

 What Liu Wuzhou valued was not the [-] Turkic cavalry led by Ashina Pinzhen, but the entire Turks behind Ashina Pinzhen.

 These people and money and food looted by Ashina Pinzhen are equivalent to the "protection tax" Liu Wuzhou paid to the Turks.

 After Ashina Pinzhen plundered dozens of cities in Bingzhou, he plundered a total of [-] people in the past two months, mainly women and children.

 Money, food, cloth, silk and other materials are even more countless, and it takes dozens of carts to pull them.

 Ashinapin is really on the grassland, but he has seen so much money and food, if the harvest from this trip is transported back, even the current Shibi Khan will be moved.

 In this way, Ashina Pinzhen's status in the Turkic side will inevitably be greatly improved.

 Therefore, when Ashinapin really heard that Liu Wuzhou's counselor said that there is a richer land in the east, and that there is no powerful force at this time, he was immediately moved.

 Later, Ashina Pinzhen personally found Liu Wuzhou and asked the two armies to attack Jizhou together.

 When the time comes, they break through Yongnian City, Yang Guang will belong to him, and the proceeds from the looting will belong to Ashina Pinzhen.

 Now, facing Ashinapin's real request, it would not be so easy for Liu Wuzhou to refuse.

 In the end, Liu Wuzhou agreed to Ashina Pinzhen's request, and only then did Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic cavalry cross Huguan and fight towards Wu'an County, Jizhou.

 "Xu Chu, I order you to lead [-] cavalry to meet the enemy. Remember that defeat is not victory. Bring Liu Wuzhou and the Turks here."

 Xu Feng said to a plain in the south of Yongnian City near Zhangshui on the map.

 "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

 Xu Chu understood Xu Feng's intention immediately, and left in response.

 After Xu Chu led the army to leave, Xu Feng glanced at Li Cunxiao, Luo Yi, and the other generals present, and said, "Now, you all go back to your respective ministries, gather your troops and horses, and follow me to fight."

 "As ordered."

 Two days later, Xu Feng led the main cavalry of the Sui Army to the area south of Zhangshui. The terrain here is relatively flat and suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.

 More importantly, Yongnian City is to the north and Zhangshui is to the south.

 Under such a situation, once one of the warring parties is defeated, there is basically little chance of escaping.

 Xu Feng was absolutely confident that he could win this battle, so he asked Xu Chu to lead Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic cavalry here.

 "Report, Your Majesty, General Xu led Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic cavalry to come this way."

 A Sui cavalryman rushed back on horseback and reported to Xu Fenghui.

 "Well, Luo Yi, Luo Shou, you guys lead the army and set off."

 After Xu Feng heard the report from the Sui soldier who came back, he said to Luo Yi and Luo Shou behind him.

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 Immediately afterwards, Luo Yi and Luo Shou each led [-] Zhuojun cavalry and headed north.

 Rumble!

 Soon, black spots appeared on the horizon of the land to the west, and the earth trembled slightly.

 Xu Chu led [-] cavalry from the Sui army, and encountered Liu Wuzhou's cavalry and Turkic cavalry from Wu'an. The two sides fought for half a day, but Xu Chu pretended to be defeated and fled.

 The Turkic cavalry swept all the way and never encountered an opponent. These Turkic cavalry fought bravely on the plain.

 Ordinary infantry were basically unable to stop the tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry.

 Therefore, the Turkic cavalry at this time were extremely arrogant. After seeing Xu Chu's defeat and fleeing, Ashina Pinzhen immediately led the Turkic cavalry and chased them all the way.

 These Turkic cavalry were too arrogant, and they didn't think that in such a plain terrain, the Central Plains would dare to have troops to ambush them.

 Liu Wuzhou led more than [-] cavalry under his command and followed closely behind.

 Liu Wuzhou was still a little cautious, this time he only brought [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to assist Ashina Pinzhen's [-] Turkic cavalry.

 The rest of the troops were all left in Hedong by Liu Wuzhou and handed over to Commander Song Jingang to prevent Li Tang from sending troops to take back Hedong.

 According to Liu Wuzhou's plan, he didn't plan to attack Jizhou so soon, at least he had to wait until he digested most of the land east of the river that he had captured.

 This time, since the Turkic general Ashina Pinzhen was so determined to plunder Jizhou, Liu Wuzhou had no choice but to assist, but he could only let the Turkic cavalry be the main force, and he only brought a small number of soldiers and horses to assist.

 "Ouch!"

 On the northern land, hordes of Turkic cavalry waved their scimitars, screaming and chasing the fleeing Sui cavalry ahead.

 "Damn, let you savages be proud for a while, and I will kill you later."

 Xu Chu led a Sui cavalry on horseback and pretended to be defeated. He turned his head and looked at the Turkic cavalry chasing after him, and said in a cold voice.

 "Haha, follow me and kill all these Han dogs!"

 Behind him, the Turkic general Ashina Pinzhen rode on a horse and laughed wildly, extremely insolent.
