Yi County, about fifty miles away from the Juma River, is a logistics base for the Huihe. Thousands of people in Yi County were forcibly driven out of the city by the Huihe army. Yi County has become a warehouse city. There are currently two million sheep and five hundred herdsmen in the city, as well as five thousand Huihe troops. In addition, there are 100,000 shi of grain and 200,000 dan of hay, which are the military rations of the Fanyang Army.

Yi County is not far from Feihu Xing. Zhu Ci deployed a thousand garrisons at the entrance of Feihu Xing Valley, but he did not tell the Huihe people that there is a valley leading to Hedong Weizhou.

This is the cunning of Zhu Ci. On the surface, he welcomes the Huihe people, but behind the scenes, he treats the Huihe people as thieves and refuses to tell any details of Youzhou.

At night, a 20,000-man army approached the exit of Feihu Pass. There were 1,000 soldiers stationed at the exit of Feihu Pass. The commander was called Wang Pan, who was the deputy commander of Wang Zhaoxuan, the former commander of Feihu County. After Feihu County fell, Wang Zhaoxuan left Wang Pan to guard the exit of Feihu Pass. He went back to report to Zhu Ci and never came back.

Before dawn, Wang Pan suddenly got the news that their military camp was surrounded by the Tang army. Wang Pan was shocked and hurried to the top of the camp fence to check.

Their military camp was a small board-type military camp covering an area of ​​100 acres. They could stand on the camp wall for patrol and defense. It was not dawn yet, but countless figures could be seen outside, at least tens of thousands of soldiers.

"General, do you want to light the beacon?"

There was a hidden beacon on the top of the mountain behind them. Five soldiers were on duty in the beacon on the top of the mountain. If the beacon was lit in the camp below the mountain, the beacon would be lit on the mountain.

Of course, the power to give orders belonged to Wang Pan. Only when he gave orders could the beacon above be lit.

Wang Pan glared at his men fiercely, "Are you crazy? If we light the beacon, we're all dead."

The generals behind him glared at the general who gave the idea. They were all marginalized generals. Without Zhu Ci's trust, they would naturally not be loyal to Zhu Ci. They were all thinking about how to save their lives.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "General, the other side shot an arrow letter in!"

"Where is the letter?" Wang Pan asked hurriedly.

The soldier handed over a letter stuck on an arrow, and Wang Pan opened it and read it.

It was written by General Zhang Yun, who praised him for putting the overall situation first and not lighting the bonfire, and promised that as long as they surrendered, their lives and property would be safe, and if they made meritorious deeds, they could even be transferred to Tang generals.

Wang Pan handed the letter to several men to circulate, and all the generals agreed to surrender.

Wang Pan immediately ordered: "Pass my order, open the camp gate and surrender!"

Outside the city was the 20,000 troops led by Zhang Yun. He had received the order of the regent, ordering him to seize Yi County immediately.

When Zhang Yun's army came out of Feihu Pass, the first thing they faced was the military camp at the entrance of the valley. Zhang Yun originally wanted to attack by force, but he was worried that the strong attack would cause the other party to jump over the wall and light the beacon, so he decided to use the method of soft first and hard later, giving the other party a chance to surrender first, and at the same time stabilizing the other party.

He was betting that the other party wanted to save his life, and sure enough, the military camp opened the door and surrendered.

At two o'clock, an army of about a thousand people came outside Yi County. The leading general was Wang Pan. The army drove more than a dozen carts, which were full of gorgeous women. These women were of course dressed as Tang soldiers.

Wang Pan knew very well how to trick the city gate open. The Huihe people were very cautious about other things. The most difficult goods were women. These bastards wanted women so much that they sent people to their military camp a few days ago to ask if there were any military prostitutes.

Wang Pan raised his badge and shouted, "I am Langjiang Wang Pan, and I am here to send you a group of military prostitutes under the order of Wang Zhengshou."

Wang Zhengshou was Wang Shoucheng, the military and political governor of Youzhou, Zhu Ci's top aide, and all the Huihe people knew him.

When the defenders on the city heard that there were women, they all leaned over the top of the city to take a closer look. As expected, they saw hundreds of women dressed up in the carts, and the soldiers drooled.

The commander on the top of the city was Xixie Fulin, a member of the Huihe Xixie tribe, a captain of ten thousand men, and led five thousand men to guard Yi County.

Although the soldiers could not move after seeing the women, Xixie Fulin was still very cautious and ordered people to put down a basket and shouted, "Put the command arrow and military badge in the basket!"

Zhu Ci's command arrow was found in the Hezuo Army when he was suppressing Tian Chengsi. The Hezuo Army had 10,000 troops of Zhu Ci, and they had Zhu Ci's command arrow, which was a silver command arrow, which matched Wang Pan's silver badge perfectly.

Xi Xie Fulin took the command arrow and silver medal, and sent someone to find Zhu Ci's men who were guarding the grain warehouse to identify them and confirm that they were correct.

Xi Xie Fulin then waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city!"

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate slowly opened, and a thousand soldiers drove ox carts into the city. Soldiers ran down from the top of the city, drooling and staring at the women in the ox carts, and some impatient ones reached out to touch them.

"No, why do these women have Adam's apples?"

A soldier suddenly found something unusual and shouted.

Xi Xie Fulin was startled, and immediately reacted, shouting in a hurry: "Close the city gate, don't let them in!"

The main general who came in was a fierce general of the Tang army, named Zheng Kai. He waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers took out their weapons and killed the Huihe on both sides. The women also tore off their skirts, revealing their armor, and drew their spears to fight the enemy.

The drawbridge could not be pulled up, as it was blocked by the Tang army with tools. The city gate could not be closed either, as it was blocked by ox carts.

The alarm bells in the city sounded urgently, "Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Twenty thousand Tang troops came from all directions, including fifteen thousand from the north city, two thousand from the south city and the east city, and one thousand from the west city.

Zhang Yun's goal was not to let a single enemy soldier go.

Soon, 15,000 Tang soldiers rushed into the city.

To the south of Yi County was Yishui, which was actually the upper reaches of Juma River, but it was all mountainous and hilly, so cavalry could not go there. The Huihe had never thought of crossing the river here, and the Fanyang Army had never gone south from Yi County, and there was no record of this.

This would lead to a wrong idea that there was no way to go south from Yishui.

But in fact, there was a way, but there was no flat official road, so it was not easy to go.

Just one hour after Yi County was captured, a 10,000-man Tang army with 30,000 camels crossed the Yishui River and arrived in Yi County.

At dawn, 10,000 Tang soldiers escorted all the spoils captured in Yi County, including 2 million sheep and 100,000 stones of grain, which were naturally carried by camels, as well as various other supplies and more than 1,000 prisoners of war.

The army crossed the Yishui River and went south.

The reason for crossing the Yishui River and heading south was to give the Huihe army a wrong message. The army that conquered Yi County also came from the south of the Yishui River.

At noon, a Huihe centurion arrived at the Khan's camp. This centurion was released on the north bank of the Yishui River. Of course, he was asked to deliver a letter, a handwritten letter from Li Ye to Dengli Khan.

Soon, the centurion who delivered the letter was brought before Dengli Khan.
