    "I appreciate everyone's kindness. I am the commander-in-chief of the army, so this responsibility naturally falls on me!" Zhang Shougui understood their thoughts and made it clear directly.

    Chen Wanrong retorted: "Commander, I came up with this idea, and I bear the responsibility."

    Yang Sixu took over the conversation and said: "Commander, Supervisor, you two, stop arguing. We know this. It will be impossible to evade responsibility in the future. It is better to share the burden."

    "What General Yang said is absolutely true." Cheng Xiaotian agreed very much.

    Zhang Shougui's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he pondered for a moment: "In that case, so be it. I think we should do this step by step, starting with accepting the surrender of the city. If it doesn't work, then throw away the other two  city."

    One advantage of doing this is that even if the court wants to be held accountable, their responsibilities will be greatly reduced. Naturally, everyone will have no objections and the matter will be settled.  The next step is to write the memorial. After it is written, everyone signs it and then sends someone to Chang'an.

    After this matter was arranged, Chen Wanrong said: "The people in Zhongshou surrendered city should evacuate."

    "Don't worry, supervisor. This is a border town with not many people. It's not difficult to evacuate." Zhang Shougui said confidently: "Now, we have to do two things. One is to give orders to Zhang Suo, and the other is to arrange for troops to respond.  He retreated."

    Cheng Xiaotian said hurriedly: "Commander, I will eventually go."

    Zhang Shougui objected: "You don't have to go. You and General Fei immediately led the cavalry to set off in concealment, passed the Yinshan Mountains in Mochui, and immediately seized the crossing to cut off the passage for Mochui to escape north."

    Yinshan Mountain runs east to west, stretching for 1,200 kilometers on one side and only tens of kilometers wide from north to south.  Connecting the north and south is the crossing between the valleys. As long as the crossing is controlled, silently sipping is like winging.

    This is a very important task. Cheng Xiaotian was very excited: "Commander, please don't worry, the general will set off right now."

    "General Fei, you go with General Cheng." Zhang Shougui dispatched the general.

    "Follow the order!" Although Fei Junxing and Cheng Xiaotian often bickered, they were on good terms and accepted the order happily.

    "Remember, you can't let a Turk escape! Violators will be subject to military law!" Zhang Shougui's face became solemn.

    "Commander, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task." Cheng and Fei finished speaking and strode away.

    Zhang Shougui looked at Yang Sixu and said, "General Yang should be asked to take care of Zhang Suo's retreat."

    Although Yang Sixu was a eunuch, he was extremely smart, courageous and proficient in the art of war. It was very suitable for him to do this.

    "Follow your orders!" Yang Sixu took the order.

    Zhang Shougui looked at Wang Shaohua and said, "Let General Wang make a trip to deliver the message. If I give you a thousand people, you must deliver the message."

    Wang Shaohua rubbed his hands in excitement: "Commander, I haven't killed anyone in the north for many years. Today, I can finally chop off the heads of Turks like I did back then." He left happily.

    When Zhongshou surrendered to the city, the sound of killing was loud. The Turkic soldiers climbed up to the top of the city and rushed towards the city as if they were desperate for their lives.  Moju stood on the top of the city, waving his right hand, shouting loudly, and commanding the Turkic army to attack.

    Now, what Moju wants to do most is to capture the nearby city gate. As soon as the city gate is opened, more Turkic troops can enter the city and engage in street fighting with the Tang army.

    " Strangely enough, Mo Ju and the Tang army fought fiercely in the city for several days, but they couldn't take the city gate.  Zhang Suo and the others were just acting, so naturally they would not be stupid enough to leave the city gate to Moju. They deployed a lot of crossbowmen near the city gate. As soon as the Turks approached, they would shoot out an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows, wearing leather armor.  How could the Turkic soldiers resist it?

    Moju was very depressed. Since he invaded the city, the price he paid was greater, much greater than the price of climbing the city.  There seemed to be countless crossbow arrows from the Tang army. The arrow rain covered the Turkic army countless times. Every time it was covered, there would be many casualties.

    What reassured Moju was that Du Xipeng arrived with 50,000 reinforcements.  With these 50,000 fresh troops, Moju was more confident. First, he strengthened the offensive in the city, and also launched a large-scale attack on the city in other directions.

    Strangely enough, even though he had more troops and a fiercer offensive, there were no major changes in the area within the city he controlled.  Until now, the corpses in the city were piled up one after another, and the blood formed a stream of blood and flowed out from the city gate.

    "The Tang army is really difficult to defeat!" Mo Ji couldn't help but frown. Generally speaking, if he could attack the city, he could drive the Tang army out of the city.  However, so far, there has been no progress at all, and he can't help but sigh.

    At this moment, the sound of killing outside the city was heard. Looking back, I saw a group of Tang troops rushing towards the city.

    &nbsWater gushes out of the south city gate and retreats southward.

    Looking from the city, I saw that the Tang army was marching in an irregular and disorganized manner. This was definitely a defeat.  Although the Tang army was defeated, the Turkic army could not stop them no matter what, and they broke out.

    A rough calculation shows that there are still several thousand people in the Tang army.  There were thousands of Tang troops. When they came back, it would take a Turkic army several times their size to resist them.

    "We must not let them escape!" Mo Ju secretly made up his mind and led the army to chase after them.

    This is a broken army and must be annihilated no matter what. Mo Ju doesn¡¯t care whether there is a Tang army to respond or not, he just pursues it.  After chasing for dozens of miles, in the darkness they heard the thunderous sound of hooves ahead, countless torches lit up, and a group of Tang troops rushed over.

    This Tang army has a neat formation and a rainbow of momentum. It should be the elite army of the Tang Dynasty.

    The fleeing Tang troops rushed toward them and were taken back to the rear.  It is no longer possible to pursue, and Mo Ju is weighing whether to fight with this Tang army.  At this moment, the Tang army rushed over like an overwhelming force.

    It would be unwise to fight the Tang army here.  Moju has completed the task of capturing Zhongshou surrendered city. He should consolidate this victory and not let Zhongshou surrendered city be recaptured by the Tang army.

    Although Zhongshoujiang City is in ruins, the city walls and defensive facilities are still there. These cannot be burned by fire and still have military value.

    With a sudden thought, Mo Ju already had an idea and ordered the army to retreat to avoid confrontation with the Tang army.  However, this Tang army refused to let go and followed him.

    Fortunately, they were not far away from the main army and soon joined up with the main army. The Tang army lost the meaning of further pursuit and withdrew.

    After meeting Duoxixi, Moju asked: "How is the situation in the city?"

    "Forget it, there is no place that is good." Du Xipeng also felt a little pity: "Zhongshoujiang City is the most important of the three surrendered cities. The Tang people accumulated countless grain, grass and weapons here. If it falls into our hands  Here, that¡¯s great, our strength will improve a lot.¡±

    The most useful thing to the Turks was not food and grass, but the weapons of the Tang army.  The weapons of the Tang army were the most sophisticated equipment in the world at that time. The Turks could only dream of it, but they couldn't get it.  If they get the weapons here, their strength will jump a lot.

    "It's a pity, but things have reached this point and no one can do anything about it." Mo Ju also felt regretful: "Fortunately, Shoujiang City will no longer threaten us!"

    "Yes! Without the city of surrender, we Turks can roam freely here. Since the city of surrender has been established, we can't go south." Du Xipei sighed with emotion: "Now, we are back!"

    Since the construction of the surrender city, the Turks have withdrawn from Monan and can only live in the bitter cold Mobei. They are the most aware of the hardships during this period.  Thinking of the past, it really feels like a world away.

    "Oh! I was just sighing, and I forgot a big thing!" Moju slapped his forehead and shouted: "Come here! Report victory to Khan! We have captured the city of Zhongshou!"

    A guard responded and flew away.  There was a cheer behind him: "We took it to the lower middle school to surrender to the city!"
