    Chapter 1358: Tang is trapped in the quagmire and Sui is profitable


    Long before Qin Hao won the Battle of Hetao, the battle situation in Yizhou was over, and Chiyou''s third conquest of Yizhou also ended in a big defeat.


    With Liu Ji and Liu Yu joining forces, although Chi You gained an advantage in the early stage of the war, it became more and more difficult as it went in the later stages, until it was suppressed by the two Liu coalition forces and could not move.


    At this point, the Southern Barbarian Army was only at a disadvantage and showed no sign of defeat. Of course, if this trend cannot be reversed, it would be only a matter of time before the Southern Barbarian Army was defeated, but the arrival of a man accelerated the defeat of the Southern Barbarian Army, and he deviated from Yang Guang.


    After Houyi left Yang Guang, he entered Shu alone and came to surrender to King Liu Ji of Shu.


    Liu Ji was both happy and hesitant about Houyi''s voluntary surrender. He was about to gain a top general, but hesitant was because Houyi shot and killed Liu Yu, and his reputation was completely stinking. Accepting Houyi''s words may even affect Liu Ji''s reputation.


    Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been constant wars in the Han Dynasty, but there are only two cases in total.


    The second time was when Temujin''s entire country went south to Hetao, and the two princes, the Qin army and the Jin army, were responsible for confronting them.


    If Qin Hao loses this battle, the Yuan and Meng aliens will definitely enter the Central Plains.


    Therefore, during the war, the major princes ceased to fight one after another, and they were guarded against if Qin Hao was defeated, someone would be able to take over and block the alien race in time.


    Of course, Qin Hao won, which was a great achievement in saving the world, and his reputation reached a peak.


    As for the first time, it was after the Han Dynasty suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the Xianbei soldiers invaded Youzhou.


    In that battle, Liu Yu formed a coalition of princes of Hebei, concentrating the entire Hebei power to resist the invasion of the Xianbei. Han Xin even set up an ambush to shoot the Xianbei Shanyu and became famous in the battle. However, the Han court wanted to hand over Han Xin to please the Xianbei to cease the war, while Liu Yu tried his best to protect Han Xin and eventually led to the rebellion of the abolished emperors.


    Liu Yu repelled the Xianbei invasion, and the Xianbei was killed in battle because of the Shanyu, and thus fell into internal strife and was eventually annexed and destroyed by the Qing Dynasty and Yuan Meng.


    Like Qin Hao, Liu Yu also made contributions to saving the world and was a well-deserved hero.


    But such a great hero and hero admired by the world was shot to death by Houyi in the process of seeking Dong. It is conceivable that many people in the world hate and beat Houyi.


    Houyi''s reputation is too bad. Anyone who takes Houyi in, he will bear the infamy of shooting Liu Yu in part.


    So, to be fair, Liu Ji did not want to take Houyi in, but Xing Tian, ??Kuafu and other generals advised Liu Ji to take Houyi in.


    As Liu Hong''s entrusted general, Houyi and Xing Tian and Kuafu were as close as brothers. Seeing that their good brothers have fallen to this point, Xing Tian and Kuafu felt uncomfortable, so it was naturally impossible to ignore Houyi.


    Although Liu Ji did not want to take Houyi in, he had to consider the feelings of Xing Tian and Kuafu. After all, they were the first and second most powerful generals under his command, so Liu Ji took Houyi in the end.


    Houyi also knew how bad his reputation was, and he also knew that except for Liu Ji and Yang Guang, there was no place for him to live in the world. He was very grateful for Liu Ji''s kindness, so after joining Liu Ji, he naturally worked very hard. In the first battle, he used the Sun-shooting arrow to severely attack the Southern Barbarian King Chiyou.


    That''s right, Houyi used the seventh sun shooting arrow, and only two of the nine sun shooting arrows were left. Although he failed to shoot Chi You with one arrow, he also injured him severely. It was a great achievement and directly reversed the situation of the entire battle. Chiyou is the spiritual pillar of the Southern Barbarian army. When he was injured, the Southern Barbarian army immediately became in chaos and his morale was greatly reduced. After losing Chiyou, only one Gonggong was left in the Southern Barbarian army, and he was unable to resist Xing Tian and Kuafu.


    Liu Ji and Liu Yu took this opportunity to lead a large army to attack the Southern Barbarian Camp. The Southern Barbarian Army retreated. The two Liu coalition forces took advantage of the victory to pursue the army and defeated the Southern Barbarians invading.


    Although the Southern Barbarians were defeated, nearly half of the 200,000 troops were lost, they still had 100,000 troops, and had the power to fight.


    At the critical moment, Chiyou went out to fight with injuries to reverse the situation, and decisively gave up all the land gained from three conquests of Yizhou, and finally led 80,000 defeated troops back to the southern central area.


    The twenty-strong army vowed to the Northern Expedition, and only 80,000 defeated troops returned. Chiyou''s third expedition to Yizhou was a mess.


    Chiyou wanted to use the land in southern Sichuan to hold back Er Liu''s pursuers. He knew that as long as he gave up the territory he had seized, Er Liu would definitely fight for the battle for southern Sichuan, and he would take this opportunity to cultivate and rest in an attempt to fight again.


    As Chi You expected, after the Southern Barbarian army retreated, the two Lius fought because of uneven distribution of interests. Liu Ji and Liu Yu both wanted the territory that Chi You gave up.


    From Chiyou''s third conquest of Yizhou, to the formation of a coalition forces in confrontation, to Chiyou''s defeat and retreat from the two Lius, the situation in Yizhou was changing rapidly.


    Although Liu Yu is a wise leader, what he took from Liu Yan was a mess. Although he tried his best to fill the loopholes in this broken ship, how could he hit Liu Ji''s new ship?


    The battle between Liu Ji and Liu Yu and Liu Yu ended with Liu Ji''s victory, and Liu Ji''s territory was also occupied by Liu Ji.


    At this point, Yizhou has shown a three-legged tripod;


    Liu Ji occupied the counties in eastern and southern Sichuan, with the strongest strength;


    Liu Yu occupied the counties in central and western Sichuan, with the strongest background;


    Li Shimin occupied a county in Hanzhong County, northern Sichuan, with the weakest strength and foundation.


    Liu Ji, who owns eastern and southern Sichuan, has increased his strength and his ambitions have further expanded, wanting to directly annex Liu Yu.


    The failure in the battle for southern Sichuan also made Liu Yu realize that he could not fight against Liu Ji by himself. If he wanted to maintain this hard-won foundation, he had to introduce foreign aid.


    As he had no choice, Liu Yu decided to lead Li Shimin into Shu. He also knew that cooperating with Li Shimin was tantamount to seeking a slight trick on him. Li Shimin would not leave so easily after entering, but Liu Yu knew that if he did not introduce a third force, he would sooner or later be annexed by Liu Ji, so he had to lead Li Shimin into Shu.


    On the front battlefield, Liu Yu was defeated by Liu Ji. It was not until Li Tang''s 50,000 troops entered Shu arrived, especially Yang Jian''s arrival, that Liu Yu''s situation improved.


    The three battles between Yang Jian and Xing Tian shocked the world, and all of these three battles ended in a draw!


    The situation in Yizhou is so complicated and the power of the Shu army generals are far beyond Li Shimin''s expectations.


    Li Shibenmin wanted to take advantage of the melee of the two Lius to make a profit, but he didn''t know that he was also trapped by Liu Yu''s plan, causing the entire Tang army to fall into the quagmire of Yizhou.


    Liu Ji''s strength forced Li Shimin to increase his troops, so that when the melee between the three princes of Liangzhou began, the Tang army was too deep to withdraw its troops because it was trapped in Yizhou, so it could only seize a small piece of territory from Liangzhou with its weak forces, and eventually allowed Yang Guang, the mortal enemy, to swallow most of Liangzhou''s territory.
