    At this time, Duliu's intention to attack Guanzhong directly and attract the main force of the Sui army had been realized. There was no need for him to hide and tuck in day and night.

    Although the Sui army in Qizhou did not have many defenders, the city was well defended, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and had sufficient food and grass.  Du Liu's failure to break the city first was his biggest oversight.  Although the Turks defeated the Sui army reinforcing in the direction of Chencang after that, it is unrealistic to quickly attack the city now.

    It is possible for the army to continuously besiege the city and break the city, but Duliu does not have so much time.

    Originally, his direct attack on Guanzhong was more meaningful than practical.  Du Liu didn't even expect that he could get into Sui Jun's belly so smoothly.

    Of course, Duliu at this time did not have enough strength to attack Chang'an after the Sui army's reinforcements arrived, so Duliu now actually had no idea of ??attacking Chang'an at all.

    Although the march went smoothly, what has always worried Duliu is that the news of his father Bujia Khan's encirclement and annihilation of Yang Guangda's army has not been transmitted until now.  Du Liu didn't know how long he would have to stay in Guanzhong.  In order to ensure that he could withdraw in time in the face of the Sui army's multi-channel encirclement and suppression before his father's reinforcements arrived, Duliu was not prepared to go too far east into the hinterland of Guanzhong.

    "If he leads his army to attack Chang'an now, it will take at least five to six days to fight one after another.  Not to mention whether he could break Chang'an City before the Sui reinforcements arrived, even if he successfully invaded Chang'an, he would not be able to return safely.

    Changsun Sheng and the Qizhou defenders would definitely cut off their return route after they reacted.

    When the time came, he had made great achievements in defeating Chang'an, but he became the prey in the Sui army's cage.  It had to be torn apart by the Sui army.

    There are many six brothers, so he is not going to make wedding clothes for others.

    Therefore, after Duliu entered Guanzhong, his destination was never Chang'an.  What he was going to was Wusi County (today's Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province) located between Qizhou and Chang'an.

    This small county south of the Wei River has Wugong (now northwest of Wugong, Shaanxi) to the west and Shiping (now south of Xingping, Shaanxi) to the east. It does not have much strategic value in itself, and it is not as good as Xixian (now south of Fufeng, Shaanxi).  ) and Guo County (now west of Baoji, Shaanxi Province) were rich.  But one thing it has that other surrounding counties don't have is that it is sandwiched between the Weihe River and the Qinling Mountains, with the remaining Qinling Mountains to the south, so there are several summer palaces where Yang Jian spent his summer vacation.  And because it is close to Chang'an, it is almost undefended.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  In the Sui Dynasty, there were three palaces here: Yishou, Xianyou and Ganquan.  Moreover, these three palaces are different from Anren Palace and other places. These three palaces are not within the county seat.

    Yang Jian is the emperor who likes to hoard things most in Chinese history.  The entire Chang'an-Luoyang line was dotted with various large granaries, which of course benefited Li Yuan and Li Mi in the end.

    Moreover, Yang Jian also likes to hoard large amounts of food, weapons, armor and other materials in various palaces, building it into a fixed stronghold of his own.  So Du Liu set his sights on this.

    Du Liu knew very well that if his father failed to rescue him during today's direct attack on Guanzhong, I'm afraid the final result would be to escape in embarrassment.  His other brothers followed their father and defeated the Sui army along the way. It is estimated that the loot captured was like mountains and seas, and their power would also increase greatly.  If he is the only one who returns in embarrassment at that time, then the forces of all parties will wax and wane, and it will be even more difficult for him to compete for the position of Khan.

    Therefore, the biggest purpose of Duliu who entered Guanzhong was to plunder weapons, food and other materials to enrich his tribe's strength.

    Duliu planned to divide the cavalry under his control into three and set up nets on all sides.

    Duliu led the main force to advance eastward with great fanfare, openly attacking Chang'an, but actually attacking Yuxi directly.  The army returned immediately after breaking through the Three Palaces of Yishou.  And his general Ashina Qide led thousands of cavalry and quietly marched towards the nearest Renshou Palace in the northeast.

    Renshou Palace is known as the most luxurious palace in the Sui Dynasty. If he burned it down, I wonder if Yang Jian would feel distressed.

    Now that the Turkic army is camped to the west of Qizhou, Qizhou City cannot be captured. If the army continues to move forward, it will leave a nail behind it.

    Therefore, Du Liu prepared to order General Ashina Huzhen to lead more than 10,000 cavalry to continue the siege of Qizhou.  On the one hand, it blocked the Sui army reinforcements coming from the direction of Chencang, and on the other hand, it protected the upper reaches of the Mian River to ensure the retreat path of the Turkic army.

    After everything was arranged, the Turks attacked in three directions.

    Duliu expected that the army he led would return to Qizhou City to rendezvous in about two or three days.  By the time the Sui army's reinforcements arrived, he would have already walked away along the way he came, leaving only the Sui army behind to eat ashes.

      Now Chang'an is desperately sending messages to the surrounding garrisons, hoping that the troops can rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to set up defenses.  To the west of Chang'an, there were almost no garrisons except for Wugong, a strategically important place.  It can be said that the three hundred miles of Weihe River are wide open.

    Calculating the speed of the surrounding Sui troops, they all rushed towards Yusui County.

    Du Liu thought that the current Sui army was scared out of their wits, and no one dared to go out of the city to challenge the prestige of the Turkic cavalry.  Although he was surrounded by various Sui armies, he was the safest now, so the Duliu Division relaxed their vigilance against the surrounding Sui armies.

    The forward army came all the way to Yi County. Du Liu planned to replenish supplies in Yi County, so he ordered the forward general Hu Tushuo to lead his army to surround the city and prepare to break into the city.

    At this time, the county magistrate of Xi County panicked. After hearing the news, he had already fled across the city.  Officials and people all over the city helped the old and young and fled north to the mountains.

    There was no owner in the city, the people were in panic, and there was no official to take charge of the overall situation. The city was suddenly in chaos.  At this time, Zhang Fangyi, a 20-year-old lieutenant of Xi County, led the people around him to maintain order. Therefore, he was elected as the leader and led hundreds of Yamen and archers of Xi County to defend the city.

    Although Zhang Fangyi is young, he often leads people to suppress bandits and eradicate bandits in Xi County, and the villagers are convinced by him.

    Seeing the Turkic army approaching, with flags and smoke billowing, Zhang Fangyi ordered people to conduct reconnaissance.  Seeing that although the Turkic army was powerful, they were all light cavalry, with insufficient food, grass and baggage, and lacked siege equipment, they expected that they might not be able to break the city in a short time, so they felt at ease.

    At this time, most of the people in the city fled to the mountains, and the city was deserted.  If the Turks come, an empty city in Xi County will be unable to defend themselves against the enemy.

    At this time, Zhang Fangyi thought of a plan. He knew that the people were just afraid of the reputation of the Turks, and he may not have seen the Turks himself.  You can use the people's fear to drive them back to the city.

    Therefore, Zhang Fangyi ordered his men to dress up as Turks, sneak into the area west of Dongshan, and set fire to it.

    The raging fire soared into the sky, burning the people all over the city with fear.  At this time, people who were among the common people immediately shouted, "The Turks are coming. Run back to the city. The Turks cannot enter the city."

    The people in Xi County did not know whether it was true or not. When they heard the agitation, they all subconsciously ran to the city.

    When most of the people entered the city, Zhang Fangyi immediately ordered people to close the city gate, leaving all the people inside the county town.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
