    In order to hide his whereabouts, Du Liu stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River for a long time.  Until the news came that Nili Khan was attacking Lingzhou and Yang Guangguang's army was besieged in Champion Houshan, Yang Su transferred the main force of Lingzhou Army north to Shizui Mountain, and Cui Hongdu, the general manager of Yuanzhou March, went north to rescue Yang Guang. The originally impregnable Yellow River  There was finally a leak in the defense line.

    Changsun Sheng had to rely on 20,000 men to defend the entire Guanxi. He not only had to defend against the Turks in the north, but also against the Tuyuhun people in the west. He also had to take into account the Yellow River defense line in the Huizhou section, which was simply stretched.

    Du Liu took advantage of the fact that the Sui army was already in disarray and the Sui army in Huizhou was empty, so he quietly crossed the Yellow River on sheepskin rafts from the east of Wulan County in Huizhou (now northeast of Jingyuan County).

    After landing, they all ran non-stop and immediately headed east to Gaoping Chuanshui (now Qingshui River in Ningxia).

    Duliu is an auxiliary army. Its purpose is to contain the various Sui armies heading north for rescue, and buy time for Bujia Khan to annihilate the main force of the Sui army.

    Because Duliu's troops were insufficient, it was a long-distance raid, and they lacked weapons to attack fortresses, Duliu's strength was not enough to capture the city.  In order to penetrate as deeply as possible into the heart of the Sui Dynasty and destabilize the foundations of the Sui Dynasty, Du Liusuo's troops bypassed the city and took a small path, heading south along the Gaoping River.

    Du Liu¡¯s original idea was very beautiful, but there was a gap in reality.

    Although the Duliu March was very hidden, they still encountered the patrolling Sui army near the west of Yuanzhou.  When the two sides met, the war was about to break out.  Du Liu defeated the Sui army's intercepting troops in Muxiao and broke through the Muxiao pass, but his whereabouts had been exposed.

    The Yuanzhou garrison immediately reported to Changsun Sheng in Qinzhou and Yang Su in Lingzhou.

    Changsun Sheng was shocked after receiving the news. He focused all his attention on the northwest side. Unexpectedly, the Turks came to Yuanzhou quietly.

    At this time, Changsun Sheng was constrained by the lack of troops at hand, so he could only choose to defend and wait for reinforcements.

    On the one hand, Changsun Sheng mobilized Yuanzhou troops to concentrate on the front line of Xiaoguan (now southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia). Xiaoguan stood on the dangerous pass of Longshan (now Liupanshan) and guarded the passage from the Jinghe River into Guanzhong.

    Changsun Sheng personally led his troops to Longcheng (today's eastern part of Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province) to guard against the Turkic army's advance from the flanks.  The entire Weihe River direction is steeper, while the Jinghe River direction is relatively easy.  Changsun Sheng thought that he could completely keep the Turks out of Guanzhong with a small number of troops and the advantage of terrain.  At that time, the mountain road will be steep and long, and the Turks will come from afar and they will definitely be able to find an opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.

    But the development of things later obviously exceeded Chang Sun Sheng¡¯s expectations.

    Changsun Sheng waited for the Turks in Longcheng for five days, but there was no news of their arrival.  Time passed day by day, and no battle report was delivered to Xiao Guan, which made Chang Sun Sheng restless and confused.

    The Turks had been waiting for a long time. Could it be that they withdrew because they were discovered? Or maybe Xiao Guan lost the message before he could even deliver it.

    Of course, it was neither of the two. When Changsun Sheng was still tightening border defenses and strengthening defenses at Longcheng and Xiaoguan, the Duliu Division had already bypassed the Sui army's tight defense lines and entered Guanzhong.

    The six armies of the capital went south from Muxiao, crossed Xiaolong Mountain (today's Longshan), and reached the west bank of Qishui (today's Qianshui, a tributary of the Wei River) to break through Qianshui.

    In the past, there was the Xiaoguan Defense Line in the northwest of Qizhou, which was as stable as Mount Tai, so the defense in the Qiyuan area was almost non-existent.  Moreover, this place is in the northwest corner of Guanzhong, sparsely populated, and communication is inconvenient.  Therefore, the Turks came so suddenly that the Sui Dynasty defenders were caught off guard and lost the city of Qianyuan in less than a day.

    At this time, after the six major armies of the capital entered the Guanzhong Plain, they were like tigers descending from the mountain. They defeated Qianyang (today's Qianyang) and surrounded Qizhou City (today's Fengxiang County, Shaanxi).

    Although Qizhou is governed in Yong County, the focus of defense has always been on Chencang to the west of Yong County.  After Qizhou was besieged, the main force of the Sui army in Chencang heard the news and quickly led his troops to support.

    This Sui army was very swift, but they attacked rashly and were ambushed by Turkic cavalry halfway.  The Sui army was blocked on the east bank of Lishui River and was in a dilemma.  More than half of the army was lost, and countless people drowned.  The general of the Sui army died in the battle, and those who were lucky enough to escape across the river fled back to Chencang.

    At this time, there were no soldiers and horses in Qizhou City, and there were no reinforcements outside, so it fell into an isolated and helpless state.

    The six armies of the capital surrounded Qizhou, and then destroyed Yang Jian's palace outside the city, and then burned Qiyang palace.  The burned Qiyang Palace was filled with flames, and the smoke spread for miles. People dozens of miles away could see the smoke.

    This fire can be regarded as breaking the sky of Sui Dynasty.

    Only a hundred miles northeast from Qizhou is Renshou Palace.  Attacking eastward along the Wei River, we are only three miles away from Chang'an.Hundreds of miles of land.  The Turkic cavalry can reach Chang'an City in two days if they let go of their speed.

    Guanzhong was shaken, with three shocks a day.

    Whether it was Changsun Sheng who was still in Longcheng or the cavalry general Husi Wanshan who was in Xiaoguan, they were both extremely surprised.  The Turks hadn't come to the Longcheng-Xiaoguan Defense Line yet, so why were they suddenly behind them.

    Changsun Sheng couldn't care less about being surprised. At this time, he could only lead his army to rush to Qizhou desperately.  If the Turks attacked Daxing City, they would not be able to break it and it would collapse that day.

    Now, every time Du Liu takes a step forward, he is stabbing Sui in the heart. There is not much time left for the Sui army.

    News that the six major armies of the capital were besieging Qizhou soon spread to Chang'an. At this time, the people of Chang'an were just like the previous few days, helping the old and the young from house to house and fleeing eastward.

    Stores in Daxing City are closed, and the price of rice rises ten times a day.  The city was full of gangsters who took the opportunity to smash, loot, and burn, and the administrative order of the government was completely disrupted.

    And the whole of Chang'an was in chaos, with rumors flying everywhere.

    Because the champion Hou Shan was thousands of miles away from Chang'an and had no information, Yang Jian did not know the situation of the Sui army.  Seeing the Turkic army pressing down on the territory, everyone thought it was due to the destruction of Yang Guangda's army and the fall of Huizhou, Yuanzhou and Xiaoguan.

    At this time, both Yang Jian and Yang Zhao knew that the miracle had not occurred, and the main force of the Sui army was probably defeated.

    Yang Jian's mind was shaken. In one day, his Sui Dynasty was in turmoil.

    But after all, Yang Jian has experienced the world and is not afraid of danger.  Although the situation was critical now, his mind became clearer.  To put an end to the chaos at this time, the Sui Dynasty needed time.

    Since Chang'an is only three hundred miles away from Qizhou, what the Sui army lacked most was time.

    Originally, all the last troops in Guanzhong were sent out by Yang Jian to rescue Yang Guang. At this time, how could there be any soldiers left to defend against the wolf-like and tiger-like Turkic cavalry.

    It only takes less than two days to get from Qizhou to Chang'an, and Yang Xiong's main force, which is closest to Chang'an, is still north of Qingzhou. It will take five to six days for his troops to get back to Chang'an at the fastest.

    The Sui army in Chang'an had to support itself for at least three days, which was a huge hurdle for Daxing City, which had no soldiers or generals.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
