Yeluqi, the left capital commander of Beihu, has been besieging Bayanhot for ten days.

As the royal city of Xirong, Bayanhot is well-equipped with troops and food, but is not that easy to fight.

The two sides fought several battles outside the city, with each having its own victory or defeat.

Yeluqi ordered an attack on the city.

On the third day of the siege, scouts came to report that they found traces of the Liguo army less than a hundred miles away from Bayanhot.

"Who is the coach of Liguo?"

"Looking at the military flag, it should be Chu Yan, the deputy commander of the Chu family army."

Chu Yan has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and has guarded the northwest all year round. His reputation is second only to Chu Ge, the Marquis of Liyang.

Yeluqi felt that it was very difficult, "It turned out to be Chu Yan who came in person. The Li country people clearly want to retaliate in the same way and play a snipe-clam fight with us. The fishermen will benefit."

Yeluqi sent an envoy to see Chu Yan, hoping that Chu Yan would not get involved because of the good relationship between Dali and Beihu, and suggested that Chu Yan attack Pangcheng in the west of Bayanhot.

Chu Yan warmly entertained Beihu's envoys and asked the envoys to take the message back: "Master Dutong, please feel free to attack the city. Our Chu family army just came to Bayanhot to watch the excitement. When you arrive, Master Dutong, When we capture Bayanhot, I, the soldiers of the Chu family, will beat drums to celebrate for our brothers from Beihu!"

Yeluqi naturally knew that this was unbelievable, but at this time he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He couldn't just abandon Bayanhot, right?

The current plan is to bite the bullet and continue to attack the city, hoping to capture Bayanhot as soon as possible, so that there will be less danger of being flanked by Xirong and Dali.

But Yeluqi still kept an eye on him and allocated half of his troops, alert that Chu Yan might attack him from behind at any time.

Buying in Bayanhot City soon discovered that the Beihu people's offensive became more fierce.

Beihu and Xirong fought for a whole day, each with casualties.

Seeing that Chu Yan really stood still, Yeluqi didn't feel relieved, but instead became more worried.

Especially when the scouts came back and reported that Li Guo's army was stationed thirty miles away from them, and they were leisurely burying pots and making rice, very calm.

The next day, Beihu continued to attack the city. In the middle of the journey, the rear army came to report that there was a strange movement in the Liguo army.

Yeluqi was forced to order a suspension of the siege.

The Chinese army turned their horses around and, together with the rear army, prepared for a sneak attack by the Liguo people. As a result, when the scouts came to report, Chu Yan only brought a thousand riders out of the camp, as if they were here to watch the battle.

To be on the safe side, Yeluqi personally drove his horse to discuss with Chu Yan.

Chu Yan seemed to be sure that the Beihu people would not dare to attack him first at this time, and waved to Yeluqi half a mile away while holding a rare cold melon in his arms.

Yeluqi couldn't help but wonder whether Chu Yan was really here to see the excitement?

The two sides negotiated for a long time with the help of messengers. Chu Yan was not impatient and dealt with Yeluqi in a warm and friendly manner, but he refused to lead the troops to leave Bayanhot.

Yeluqi had no choice but to stop attacking the city and sent a summons back to the court of Beihu to ask for instructions whether to withdraw his troops.

Before Yeluqi could wait for the reply from King Dahe Shimoji of Northern Hu, he got the news first. Chu Minyu led an army of 50,000 people and had occupied the territory of King Zuoxian of Xirongyuan. He was waiting to cut off the territory west of Langjuxu Mountain. Langjuxu Mountain is located on the east and west sides of the road.

Yeluqi said worriedly to Danghu Tulu:

"With just one Chu Yan, we still have the strength to fight. Now with Chu Minyu, our 100,000-strong army will become a lone army deep into the hinterland of Xirong. Once their two groups attack us, we will definitely be defeated. "

Tulu's face was not good-looking either. He frowned and said, "General Chu once asked me to take a message to Khan. She once said that the territory east of Langjuxu Mountain and north of Beihuang Prairie can be captured by us. . This is to draw a line with us Beihu. We were greedy and fought all the way through Langjuxu Mountain."

Of course Yeluqi also knew about this, but he did not think that Beihu's idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to take over Xirong was wrong.

"Khan's ambition was not wrong. What was wrong was that he did not expect that the war between Dali, Dongyi and Nanchu would end so quickly."

This is indeed the case. If the war between Dali, Nanchu and Dongyi is delayed for the first half of the year, it will not be a fantasy for Beihu to capture the entire territory of Xirong.

Even at the beginning, Beihu hoped that Dali could be defeated at the hands of Nanchu and Dongyi, so that Beihu could become the largest force in the north in one fell swoop.

Yeluqi is now unable to advance or retreat, and can only hope that Beihu will send reinforcements to break the deadlock.

Buying, who was besieged in Bayanhot City, got a temporary respite.

However, there are not many troops left in Bayanhot City, and this respite is just to delay the day when the country will be destroyed.

At the same time, Chu Tianjiao led 80,000 new soldiers and 6,000 heavy armored cavalry out of Guzang Pass and conducted a massive military drill on the Beihuang Prairie.

This drill started from the southern part of Beihuang Prairie, all the way east to the western foot of Yinshan Mountain. It frightened Dahe clan Moji to hurriedly mobilize all the remaining troops in Beihu and gather towards Yinshan Mountain.

How could he bother to support Yeluqi? He roared at the right commander Xiao Qin and others in the royal tent:

"Chu Tianjiao actually wanted to take advantage of my army's expedition to Xirong and raid my lair. It's shameful and hateful!"

Ohashi Moji was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

The ministers of Beihu all accused Chu Tianjiao of betrayal: "It's so shameful. We, Beihu, signed a friendly agreement with Chu Tianjiao to jointly control Xirong. How could Chu Tianjiao do this?"

They forgot who betrayed their trust first.

When Dali and Xirong were fighting, Beihu wanted to stand aside and wait until both Dali and Xirong were defeated, then he would benefit.

If the war situation had not reversed, and Chu Tianjiao defeated Xirong's Youxian King's tribe at Yumen Pass, and Lu Yu designed Tu Lu to bear the blame for killing the son of Xirong Zuoxian King, Beihu would not have sent troops to help Chu Tianjiao and participated. The battle at the foot of Shazhou City.

After that, Beihu took advantage of Chu Tianjiao's busy going south to deal with Nanchu, and took the opportunity to send troops to occupy a large area of ​​​​Xirong. They took this advantage without any psychological burden, but now they blame Chu Tianjiao for not betraying the waste-paper friendly agreement. .

In the final analysis, the people of Beihu underestimated Chu Tianjiao.

They thought that after freeing up their hands to steal Chu Tianjiao's victory, even if Chu Tianjiao freed up his hands, they would just give Chu Tianjiao some benefits.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tianjiao went against common sense and led an army of 80,000 people straight to the royal court of Beihu.

The people of Beihu only knew that Chu Tianjiao came with 80,000 cavalry, and some even saw the frightening heavy armored cavalry. They did not know that these 80,000 cavalry were not the main force of the Chu family's army, but had just been recruited into the army. Just new recruits.

The reputation of Chu Tianjiao and the Chu Family Army was so great that Dahe Moji had to consider the consequences of a real war with Da Li, which he might not be able to bear.

After weighing the pros and cons, Daheshi Moji painfully issued an order: "Send envoys with heavy gifts to apologize to Chu Tianjiao! As long as Chu Tianjiao agrees to the peace talks, I will order Yeluqi's army to withdraw to the north. , give up Bayanhot!"
