Since Luo Yi launched a sudden attack ten days ago, Dou Jiande has been closely monitoring the development of the situation in Youzhou. He stationed 100,000 troops in the north of Hejian County. When Yang Yuanqing's army entered Zhuo County, he suddenly sent troops and attacked Zhuo County from the south.

Logically, Yang Yuanqing launched a large-scale attack on Zhuo County, causing the emptiness of Shanggu County. He should have made more effective in marching Shanggu County. However, in that case, his army would be overwhelming and become the master enemy of the Sui Army. That was not what he expected, but more importantly, he did not come to rescue Luo Yi. There was no news of Song Zhengben's disappearance so far, which made it difficult to resolve his hatred with Luo Yi.

The drunkard's intention was not wine. Dou Jiande had been coveting the five thousand armored cavalry of the Youzhou Army for a long time. If he could get these five thousand heavy armored cavalry, why would he be afraid of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?

In fact, this is the fundamental purpose of his promise to form an alliance with Youzhou. He didn't care about Luo Yi's life or death. Even if Luo Yi was destroyed, as long as the five thousand heavy armored cavalry belonged to him, he could still deal with the Sui army. Unfortunately, the man's calculations were not as good as the God's calculations. Song Zhengben's unexpected disappearance shattered his dream.

Dou Jiande was waiting for the opportunity until the Sui army and the elite soldiers of Youzhou fought in Zhuo County. He immediately realized that the opportunity had come and immediately led a hundred thousand troops into Zhuo County and rushed towards Zhuo County.

A hundred thousand army was overwhelming and stretched for more than ten miles. The army had crossed the Juma River, only more than forty miles away from Zhuo County. However, at this time the army slowed down the pace of attack. Dou Jiande received two information in a row. The Sui army retreated westward to Laishui County, and the 30,000 reinforcements from Youzhou City had passed Liangxiang County and was only forty or fifty miles away from Zhuo County.

Dou Jiande looked at the sky and it was almost dusk. He was hesitant. Should he surround Zhuo County first and then fight reinforcements, or wait until the reinforcements enter the city and then encircle them together? Then he then increases his troops to capture Youzhou City, which has only 10,000 defenders.

Dou Jiande knew very well that Luo Yi recruited more than 40,000 new soldiers some time ago, so that his troops reached 75,000. Currently, Xue Wanjun led 10,000 people to defend Duxing, and he divided another 30,000 troops to rescue Zhuo County. Yuyang County and Anle County divided another 5,000 troops to station 5,000 troops, so there were only 10,000 troops left in Youzhou City, and Gao Kaidao gave up Beiping County and retreated to Liaodong, and could not support Youzhou like last time. This was an excellent opportunity to seize Youzhou City.

But... there is also a Yang Yuanqing who is eyeing him. Will he allow himself to seize Youzhou City? It is impossible. He just withdraws his troops to Laishui dozens of miles away and can be killed back at any time.

Dou Jiande sighed. He was very afraid of Yang Yuanqing and was afraid that he would not be able to eat mutton and would make him feel flirted. He had to temporarily give up his ambition to seize Youzhou City. Thinking of this, Dou Jiande resolutely ordered: "The whole army will speed up the marching and surround Zhuo County City in an hour!"

The 100,000 army suddenly accelerated, and Dou Jiande personally led 30,000 cavalry to run towards Zhuo County like lightning. After an hour, it was already dark. Dou Jiande's 100,000 army arrived in Zhuo County one after another, and camps were set up around Zhuo County. The county town was surrounded.

...........

The sky was already dark, and the Hebei Plain was silent. The population of Zhuo County was mainly concentrated near Youzhou City. The southern population was sparse, and the Zhuo County area was even more crowded due to the rampant Wei Daoer. Villages were flooded by weeds, leaving only ruins.

A military camp appeared outside Ping'an Town about fifteen miles northeast of Zhuo County. This was the 30,000 reinforcements led by Luo Yi himself. The 30,000 reinforcements were mainly infantry and were not fast. Although they were desperately rushing, they were still one step late. Zhuo County was surrounded by Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops.

This accident was really beyond Luo Yi's expectations. He initially thought that Dou Jiande was here to rescue him, but he did not expect that Dou Jiande had ulterior motives and forced the Sui army to retreat and surrounded Zhuo County directly. Luo Yi suddenly realized that he was not just an enemy of Yang Yuanqing. He also Dou Jiande's poisonous snake lying beside him, which made Luo Yi sweat in a cold sweat. If he formed an alliance with Dou Jiande, wouldn't this be a guide to the snake into the room?

Luo Yi hesitated, and he did not dare to move forward any further. He thought of Youzhou City, where there were only 10,000 troops in the city. If Dou Jiande surrounded him and then increased his troops to the north, Youzhou City would be in danger!

"Transfer my order and order Xue Wanjun's troops to withdraw from Youzhou City's defense quickly and abandon the military capital."

Since Yang Yuanqing's army has reached Zhuo County, there is no point in defending the army Duxing.

.........

The night was already deep. Under the stars in the sky, Luo Yi stood in front of the big tent and stared at the direction of Zhuo County for a long time. His eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Father, it's too late, let's take a break!" The eldest son Luo Cheng appeared behind him at some point, his face full of concern for his father.

Luo Yi sighed, "The situation is serious, I can't sleep!"

"Father....."

Luo Cheng bit his lips and stopped talking. Luo Yi looked back at him strangely, "What do you want to say?"

"What the kid means is, can we talk to Yang Yuanqing?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about the conditions, let us give Youzhou to him, and he allows us to bring some soldiers back to Guanzhong."

Luo Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are thinking too simple. How could Yang Yuanqing allow us to lead our troops across the border? Cheng'er, this is absolutely impossible."

"Then we don't want soldiers, it means that our family will pass through the border. Didn't the Sui and Tang dynasties sign a settlement agreement? If the Tang Dynasty made a request to let us pass through, I think Yang Yuanqing would definitely agree."

"So what can he do if he promises?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "What Li Yuan wants is only Youzhou. What is my bare-studded manager going there? Is it still a king of different surnames? Could he tolerate me?"

Luo Cheng wanted to say something else, but Luo Yi pressed his son's shoulder, his eyes full of love for his son. He said softly: "I will never go anywhere. I will live and die with Youzhou. Only you and Xiner are worried. You returned to Youzhou City overnight and took your younger brother back to your hometown Xiangyang. You can't lie out, waiting for the situation in the world to be clear. You want to become an official and be a rich man, you can do whatever you want."

Luo Cheng shook his head firmly, "If the child doesn't leave, the child will accompany his father."

"Bad!"

Luo Yi suddenly turned his back. He grabbed his son's collar and glared at him, "I am nearly fifty years old, what else can I have to remember? You are my bloodline and the bloodline of the Luo family. If you die, what should the Luo family do?"

"Brother can leave, but I won't leave!" Luo Cheng said firmly.

"You..." Luo Yi suddenly became furious. He slapped his son over, pointed at him and shouted: "Don't you dare not listen to me?"

Luo Cheng knelt down in front of his father and said with tears in his eyes: "You can listen to your father in anything. But in this matter, I forgive you for not obeying your orders!"

Luo Yi looked at his son blankly and saw a man's courage and responsibility in his eyes. After a while, Luo Yi sighed with a sigh, "Without a child, I, Luo Yi, are there anything else I don't want to be satisfied with?"

.........

Yang Yuanqing's 50,000 troops did not retreat in Laishui. Halfway through, he discovered something unreasonable. Why didn't Dou Jiande attack Yi County directly? Yi County only had 5,000 guards, and Dou Jiande had 100,000 troops. He could divide his troops to block himself in Laishui County, and then attack Yi County on a large scale. Once Yi County is captured, a large amount of supplies will be destroyed. Even if his army can retreat to Hengshan County smoothly, this Hebei Battle will be considered a complete failure.

This was a major flaw. He didn't believe that Dou Jiande would not have thought of this and ran to Zhuo County to attack him. Yang Yuanqing immediately realized keenly that perhaps Dou Jiande's true intention might not be him. Only in this way can he explain why he did not attack Yi County.

Yang Yuanqing's army was temporarily staying on the east bank of Laishui, only thirty miles away from Zhuo County. The army was not stationed, but was waiting for the orders of commander Yang Yuanqing, while Yang Yuanqing was patiently waiting for news from the scout.

Yang Yuanqing was talking to several generals in the tent, and suddenly there was a running sound outside. A personal soldier rushed to the door of the tent and said, "Report to the general manager, there is urgent news in Zhuo County!"

"explain!"

Yang Yuanqing stopped talking to the generals, and Qin Qiong, Xie Yingdeng and others also turned their attention. They were also very concerned about Dou Jiande's 100,000 army.

"Scout information, Dou Jiande and Dawan's army have surrounded Zhuo County, and Luo Yi has led 30,000 reinforcements to Zhuo County. He is stationed fifteen miles away from the county town."

"He's very quick!"

Yang Yuanqing sneered slightly and said to everyone: "As expected, Dou Jiande was unwilling to have a dry meal, so he jumped out to grab the food. I guess he also took advantage of Luo Yi's heavy armored iron cavalry and wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob, and take a good idea!"

"Master, what should we do?"

Qin Qiong said with some concern: "The Youzhou army has only 20,000 people in Zhuo County. Once Dou Jiande's army quickly breaks through the city, the five thousand heavy armored cavalry will really belong to him."

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, thinking about countermeasures. Dou Jiande's joining made the situation very complicated. Now all three parties are enemies. Each party wants to gain the greatest benefit in the game between the three parties, and they all hope that one of them will become a fisherman. Dou Jiande could have become the biggest fisherman, but he was worried that the Sui army would take away the heavy armored cavalry, so he jumped out impatiently, which made the Sui army a fisherman.

Yang Yuanqing is now considering how to be a fisherman. He must not let Dou Jiande, the crane, eat Luo Yi, the clam, or take action too early to make the crane fly and escape. The key is to grasp this degree.

At this time, Wang Junkuo, who had been silent, said: "Do you Dou Jiande wants to eat the 5,000 heavily armored cavalry, and take advantage of the empty Youzhou opportunity to increase your troops to swallow Youzhou?"

Xie Yingdeng next to him shook his head, "Youzhou may not be empty. Since our army has reached Zhuo County, there is no meaning to defend Duxing. Luo Yi will definitely transfer back Xue Wanjun's 10,000 troops back to defend Youzhou City, so that Youzhou will have 20,000 people to defend Youzhou City. With Youzhou City's easy to defend but difficult to attack, Dou Jiande cannot capture it for a while."

Seeing that Qin Qiong was thinking, Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile: "What do you think of Shubao?"

Qin Qiong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just an immature idea. Can Luo Shixin attack Hejian County and force Dou Jiande to withdraw his troops?"

In fact, the purpose of seizing Hengshan County was to restrain Dou Jiande's army from the flanks to support Luo Yi. Everyone laughed with urgency.

"Not only do we have to force Dou Jiande's army to retreat, but we must also let him lose all his feathers. Boling County will be his compensation to us."

When Yang Yuanqing said this, he immediately ordered: "Transfer my order, the army will return to Zhuo County and set up camp ten miles away from Zhuo County!"
