This time, Li Xiujing had just finished ordering Shence's vanguard troops to reduce their cooking range. Then he received news that Lieutenant Liu was leading his army to join him.

After hearing the report from the messenger, Li Xiujing frowned. After thinking for a moment, he went to the door to greet Lieutenant Liu in person.

No matter what the future position may be. At least judging from the current situation, Lieutenant Liu is a very worthy person to be friends with.

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw dust flying in the distance. The leader was none other than Lieutenant Liu, who was fiercely dressed in a scarlet robe, with half of his bright armor exposed.

"You brat, I haven't seen you in so many years. You are very capable." Lieutenant Liu got off his horse and kicked him again.

As if she had already sensed that Lieutenant Liu was going to kick him like this, Li Xiujing nimbly ducked aside. He looked at Lieutenant Liu with a calm expression.

Lieutenant Liu, who missed another kick, still showed no annoyance on his face. Instead, she looked at him with approval, "I've captured so many horses from the Turkic barbarians at once. I'm afraid it won't be long before they go back on their own? Alas, it would be great if we could drive them to Yinshan. Brat, you Do you have the confidence?"

"Lieutenant, do you think it's possible?" Li Xiujing asked seriously.

Upon hearing this, both of them fell into silence.

Is it possible? Of course it's impossible. A long-term conquest requires a large amount of military expenditure, enough to occupy most of the national treasury's revenue and expenditure. With the current financial situation of the imperial court, the people in the Political Affairs Hall are probably unwilling to do such a thankless task. What's more, once the imperial court concentrates its forces to deal with the Turks, what if the vassal town in Heshuo has different intentions? When the Tubo and Uighurs took advantage of the situation, the imperial court was attacked from both sides.

After listening to Li Xiujing's words, Lieutenant Liu sighed, "Let's go into the camp. Let's have a drink."

The two of them entered the camp one after another. Not mentioning the topic just now, they could guess a thing or two about the current thoughts of the court. Amid internal and external troubles, how can we spare so much energy?

After drinking only three jars of wine, he gave up.

Lieutenant Liu squinted his eyes as he looked at Li Xiujing and smiled, "If you can win this battle, with your merits, I'm afraid I can become the general. I think General You Shence is a good fit for you."

"Is the lieutenant planning to invite me to join Shence?"

"Is it possible that you want to join Nanya?" Lieutenant Liu burped and stood up tremblingly, "I know you are from aristocratic families, and you yearn for the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya even more. But now Nanya is just a casual job, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to realize your ambition.”

After the words fell from his ears, Li Xiujing lowered his head and looked at the wine cup in front of him. He had to admit that what Lieutenant Liu said was very reasonable.

If he enters Nanya, he will indeed be a legitimate son of a noble family. But with Nanya's current status, he can only do nothing. Although the actual command of the Shence Army was entirely in the hands of the eunuchs, the authority and status of its generals far exceeded that of the Jinwu Guards.

And he always felt that Pei Jiaoran recommended him to follow Lieutenant Liu to conquer the Turks. I'm afraid this is also intended to pave the way for him to enter Shence smoothly.

Thinking of this, Li Xiujing couldn't help but smile and drank the remaining wine in the cup. It was as if he heard her whispering in his ear, "Isn't this great?"

Of course it's good.

It's just...since you've plotted against him, you have to bear the consequences of falling into his arms.

The wine is gone. Lieutenant Liu was still conscious and ordered the Shence Army who came with him to rest on the spot and prepare for the attack on the city tomorrow morning.

Military expenditures for the military are limited. There is little benefit to them from prolonging this battle, so it is best to resolve it quickly.

After Li Xiujing led 500 cavalry to plunder the Turkic horses yesterday, the Turks in Fengzhou City became extremely cautious. Even the defense changes at the top of the city have become quite frequent.

After hearing the news from the intelligence soldiers, Li Xiujing glanced at Lieutenant Liu.

"Are you paying attention again?" Lieutenant Liu asked.

"Yes." He looked at Lieutenant Liu and saw that he had no objection. Li Xiujing continued: "The leader of the Turks is Ashina Qingli. I fought with him once six years ago. This person is suspicious by nature and will not easily take risks."

"So what are your plans?"

"To defeat and attack, the power of form is used by God; to change the virtual and real, the power of God is used by shape. Since he is suspicious, why not use virtuality and reality to make him unable to understand what we are going to do."

Listening to his words, Lieutenant Liu frowned and said, "Don't talk to me so politely. Just tell me what on earth are you going to do?"

"The regular troops lured the enemy out of the city, and the surprise troops set up an ambush to annihilate them." Li Xiujing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What do you think, Lieutenant?"

"Very good. You have more ideas." Lieutenant Liu praised.

The two quickly summoned the high-ranking generals of the Shence Army and finalized the combat plan.

Lieutenant Liu led the main soldiers to attack the city and raised troops to attack the city. Li Xiujing, on the other hand, led his men to set up an ambush halfway, waiting for the Turkic army.

Use the art of encirclement to annihilate them.

Those who know the combat deployment are all Lieutenant Liu's cronies, and they all have experience in foreign conquests. After hearing Li Xiujing's plan, everyone expressed their understanding.

It was agreed that three beeps would be used as the signal. If the Turks avoid coming out, they will blast three times and both armies will retreat back to their camps to wait for the opportunity.

The drums sounded from the sky, and Lieutenant Liu ordered his troops and horses to set off. They rushed directly to Fengzhou City with great momentum. Li Xiujing, on the other hand, took the remaining 10,000 men and walked out of the camp unhurriedly and laid an ambush on the road where they had agreed to set up an ambush.

With the dry wind blowing on her face, Li Xiujing raised her eyes and looked into the distance without saying a word. Goshawks circled above them, swooping down from time to time to look for prey on the grassland.

"General Li! They are coming, there is still two miles to go." The intelligence soldier came back on his knees and shouted.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing nodded, but did not move.

It wasn't until he saw the flags fluttering that he made a gesture. The military order was passed on, and the Shence sergeant who was ambushing here took action upon hearing the order. He got on his horse and swooped down from the high ground, rushing towards the Turkic army's formation.

The high slope is enough to maximize the speed of horses. What's more, Lieutenant Liu was dragging firewood in front of him, so the Turkic army didn't expect that there would be an ambush here.

Under the offensive of Mo Dao and Ma Shan, the outermost Turkic soldiers were rushed to pieces. Before they could recover, the shimmering Mo Dao had already penetrated into their bodies, some were knocked to the ground by horses, and some were knocked over and trampled to death by armored war horses.

The Turkic soldiers who were dispersed from their formation hurriedly took up their weapons and tried to resist in the chaos. But Lieutenant Liu over there also led his troops back to attack. The two groups of troops attacked from the front and back, and worked together to strangle the Turkic army.

Yellow sand and withered grass overlap, and hot blood pours on them, turning into a sharp dividing line in an instant. The Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the charge looked at the Wei soldiers and horses with scimitars in their hands in fear.

The dead bodies at your feet overlapped with the auras of the living, making the fear even more intense. There was still a breath left in Zanqi, but all his violent energy was submerged under the horse's hooves and the blade. All that remains is the desire for life and the fear of death.

"Bang." The remaining Turkic soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy. Shouting long live the Emperor of Wei.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing looked at Lieutenant Liu.

Lieutenant Liu did not execute these Turks on the spot, but instead had them escorted to the city to form a formation. In this way, the morale of the Turks was defeated, and Fengzhou City was finally recaptured, and tens of thousands of remaining Turkic soldiers were captured.
