    Chapter 2723: Yang Shuang defeated Wang Ben, Tu Xingsun went to fight


    The coalition of princes of the Western Regions had been defeated for a while, and the 30,000 troops were defeated by Gao Changgong''s two thousand Sui troops, with nearly 10,000 casualties.


    For the coalition of princes in the Western Regions, such a shameful defeat was just the beginning, and then it suffered a small defeat, which eventually led to this big defeat.


    In order to regain the decline, Wang Ben mobilized 160,000 Western Regions coalition forces and prepared to siege and kill the 20,000 Sui army vanguards who were alone in deep, while Yang Shuang was forced to mobilize 50,000 troops to fight.


    160,000 vs. 50,000, the Western Regions have an absolute advantage in military strength, and there is also Wang Ben, the golden commander.


    As for Yang Shuang, the commander general of the Sui army, his command attribute is 98, and his command ability is slightly inferior to Wang Ben.


    Logically speaking, even if Wang Ben couldn''t win this battle, he shouldn''t be defeated, but the result was a crushing defeat.


    Wang Ben knew that Yang Shuang was difficult to deal with, so he dispatched an army of 160,000 to directly crush the Sui army with three times the absolute military advantage than the enemy, but at the most critical moment of the war, he was once again dragged down by the Western Regions coalition forces.


    Wang Ben''s order to defend his position, but the 50,000 Western Regions Army, which protected the left wing, launched an attack, and was defeated by the Sui general''s high-ranking 8,000 Western Liang cavalry, which eventually resulted in 160,000 Western Regions Alliance, and was defeated by the 50,000 Sui army, and was directly killed in battle and captured 30,000. It was a huge defeat.


    After this battle, the total strength of the Western Regions coalition forces was less than 200,000, while the war losses of the three coalition forces of Yang, Li and Ji were not high. If the surrendered army was added, the total strength increased instead of reducing, but increased to 100,000.


    Although the Western Regions coalition still had more troops than the Han coalition, their morale was extremely low, far inferior to the Han coalition, and the balance of the war began to gradually tilt towards the Sui army.


    The anti-Sui coalition forces of the 15 countries in the Western Regions were as many as 255,000, but the three coalition forces of Yang, Li and Ji were defeated repeatedly when facing 70,000. This is naturally not because Wang Ben’s ability to command the command is not good, but because the comprehensive combat power of the Western Regions coalition forces is too weak.


    The difficulties Wang Ben is facing now are actually the same as Lunqinling, and they are all strong generals commanding a weak army.


    The coalition of princes of the Western Regions was like a group of loose sands that were forcibly gathered together by Wang Ben. Although there were many people, their hearts were uneven. There were also many problems such as fear of strength but not daring to fight to the death, wanting to preserve their strength, not obeying commands, etc. Even with Wang Ben''s command, it was difficult to exert all his combat power.


    As for the Snowland War God Lun, the same is true for Qinling. He never lost his life in his battles. He bowed his head to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but he commanded 20,000 Tubo troops, but could not win the 8,000 Qin troops led by Yang Ren, who was commanding 93.


    From this we can see that the commander''s ability to command is of course important, but if the army is not strong, it will not be able to exert its commander''s ability.


    Wang Ben was originally full of confidence, but because his teammates were not good, he lost so badly that he was so angry that he vomited blood.


    As for Yang Shuang, because she defeated Wang Ben, the basic commander was upgraded by 1 point to reach the level of 99.


    After this defeat, although Wang Ben was extremely unwilling to accept this result, he had to shrink his troops and passively defend. Before the morale of the army recovered, he would definitely not dare to attack again.


    Although Yang Shuang failed to completely defeat the Western Regions coalition forces with this battle, he destroyed the enthusiasm of the Western Regions coalition forces. But what followed was another big problem: whether to withdraw troops to support Daxing?


    At this time, the news that the Qin Dynasty dispatched four armies to attack the Sui Dynasty and had already arrived at the city of Daxing had already spread to the Western Regions.


    Regarding this issue, the three alliances of Yang, Li and Ji are also divided into two factions:


    Most of the Sui generals led by Gao Changgong supported the withdrawal of troops to support Daxing. After all, Daxing was the capital of the Sui Kingdom, and his lord Yang Guang was still in Daxing. Not saving him would go against the way of a minister.


    Ji, led by Ji Fa, and Li Siyuan, both believed that the good situation was hard-won and should not give up withdrawing troops like this.


    "Governor Yang Shuang, the situation of trapping dragons in Daxing has now been completed. No matter whether we can catch up with the troops or return to aid, even if we can catch up, it may not be able to break this situation and save Daxing." Li Siyuan advised.


    "Yes, once the troops are withdrawn, the good situation in the Western Regions will be completely destroyed. Therefore, not only can we not withdraw our troops, but we should continue to attack the Western Regions. In this way, even if Daxing falls, the Sui Kingdom can rise again in the Western Regions." Ji Fa also advised.


    It is natural that Ji Fa and Li Siyuan will oppose Yang Shuang''s withdrawal of troops. After all, both of them have now established a foothold in the Western Regions. If Yang Shuang withdraws unilaterally, it will rely solely on the strength of their two families, and they will be isolated and unable to defend the territory they occupied at all, so they naturally do not want Yang Shuang to withdraw his troops.


    Although Ji Fa and Li Siyuan did not want Yang Shuang to withdraw their troops because of their own interests, what they said made sense. Don’t lose the Western Regions without saving Daxing, and then the Sui Kingdom would really be destroyed.


    Therefore, some Sui generals led by Gao Ang were also persuaded by Ji Li, and they all opposed returning to Daxing at this time.


    When Yang Shuang saw the two factions below quarrel, she was hesitant to withdraw his troops. He wanted to rescue Daxing in his heart. After all, Daxing was not only the capital of the Sui Kingdom, but also the lord Yang Guang was there.


    There were also many factions in the Sui Dynasty. Gao Huan, the governor of Xiliang, and Yang Xingmi, the governor of Haizhou, were all vassal officials with heavy power. They also followed Yang Guang''s orders.


    But if Yang Guang makes any mistake, even Yang Shuang, who is Uncle Yang Guang, will not convince them. The Sui Kingdom will probably split directly by then.


    Therefore, even in order to prevent the division of the Sui Kingdom, Yang Shuang wanted to withdraw his troops to support Daxing.


    But what Yang Shuang had to admit was that what Li Siyuan said was indeed reasonable. Even if he withdraws troops and returns to aid, he may not be able to catch up. Even if he can catch up, he may not be able to regain Xianmei City. Even if he captures Xianmei City, he still has to seize the ten cities of Wuwei before he can reach the foot of Daxing City.


    Even Yang Shuang can overcome so many uncertain factors one by one, but Daxingcheng may not be able to persevere until that day.


    Yang Shuang actually knew very well in her heart that Sui State would be unlikely to escape this disaster. After all, the Qin Dynasty''s attack this time was too ruthless. The four armies attacked at the same time, completely trapping Daxing to death with the trap of the dragon, and locking down all the vitality of Sui State.


    Now Yang Shuang has only two choices. One is to withdraw troops and rescue Daxing and take over the entire Sui Kingdom. The other is to not withdraw troops and preserve their strength in order to re-establish the country in the Western Regions.


    This is the main reason why Yang Shuang hesitated. Just as Yang Shuang was in a dilemma, and the Yang, Li and Ji families were all quarreling about whether to withdraw their troops, Fei Ge sent a letter from Daxing.


    After seeing the scout submit the letter to Yang Shuang, Ji Fa and Li Siyuan both showed nervousness. After all, this was related to the fate of the two families.


    If Yang Shuang is determined to withdraw his troops, the Ji and Li families will definitely not withdraw their troops with Yang Shuang to rescue Daxing City. After all, the consumption of withdrawing troops and fighting against the Qin army is completely a bottomless pit. No matter how many of their families have, they cannot withstand such squandering.


    But if we do not withdraw our troops with Yang Shuang, it will be difficult to confront the anti-Sui coalition forces of the Western Regions led by Wang Ben.


    If you don’t want to be annexed by the princes of the Western Regions, you may have to give up your territory in the Western Regions to preserve your strength and continue to migrate westward.


    The Ji and Li families have just gained a foothold in the Western Regions, so they are naturally unwilling to give up the territory they have obtained. But if Yang Shuang is really determined to withdraw his troops, they will have to be forced to retreat westward. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the Sui State and the Qin army to go to war.


    It is precisely because of this that Ji Fa and Li Siyuan are particularly nervous. After all, this letter is related to the fate of their families.


    After Yang Shuang opened the letter, she was stunned at first, and then she showed an unbelievable look.


    He thought that the Qin army was about to prosper and that in the crisis of national destruction, Yang Guang would summon him back at all costs.


    But in the letter, Yang Guang not only refused to let him come back, but also asked him to continue to attack the Western Regions. In this way, even if the Sui Kingdom completely lost Xiliang, it still had the territory of the Western Regions to make a comeback.


    After reading it, Yang Shuang was very moved. He felt that Yang Guang had already realized the sacrifice of himself for the sake of the Sui Kingdom, but in fact, Yang Guang placed his hope on the side of the three coalition forces in Haizhou.


    Yang Guang did not mention the resurgence of the Qiang Order and the resurgence of the Qiang people in Haizhou. After all, once this news is exposed, it will definitely affect the morale of the Sui army and the loyalty of the generals to him.


    Therefore, although Yang Guang introduced the Xie Qiang Order, it was only made public in Haizhou, and all territories such as Daxing were kept confidential.


    Yang Guang''s attitude was that although he did the Xie Qiang Ling, he could not admit his death before being completely hammered.


    Even if the Qin Dynasty made it public, as long as the Qiang army did not reach Daxing City, he could argue that this was Daqin''s slander. After all, it would be enough to fool his own people.


    When the Qiang army really attacked the city of Daxing, the Qin Dynasty''s trapping situation would be solved. Even if Yang Guang bears these infamous reputations, he will not lose. After all, Daxing was saved. Although his methods were not glorious, the ministers could understand his efforts. At worst, the Qiang people could be destroyed again.


    I have to say that Yang Guang was indeed smart in his calculations. Not only did he plot against the Qiang people, but his own people were also within his calculations.


    Yang Shuang didn''t know Yang Guang''s many plans, and only thought that Yang Guang had already made a sacrifice for his country and asked him to leave a fire for the Sui Kingdom in the Western Regions, so naturally he would not withdraw his troops.


    Yang Shuang announced Yang Guang''s order to withdraw the troops and said bluntly that Yang Guang had decided to sacrifice his life for his country and keep them as the fire of the Sui Kingdom, all the generals of the Sui Army in Zhelin were in high spirits, and Gao An and other opposition parties were also ashamed.


    Ji Fa and Li Siyuan looked at each other after hearing this. They couldn''t believe that Yang Guang, who had always been selfish and insidious, would make such a righteous decision, so they instinctively felt that there must be a problem here, but it would be beneficial for the Sui army to withdraw its troops, so they naturally did not need to investigate this matter further.


    In this way, after learning that Daxing was besieged, Yang Shuang not only did not withdraw troops to rescue Daxing, but also accelerated her strategy for the Western Regions, which made the already tense situation in the Western Regions even more tense.


    As for the anti-Sui alliance of the 15 countries in the Western Regions, under the aggressiveness of the Han coalition, they no longer continued to preserve their strength and united more closely to fight against foreign enemies.


    If the Western Regions coalition forces united from the beginning and united to the outside world, how could they have lost those two big losses?


    Now the Han coalition led by the Sui army has gained the upper hand in military excitement. It is really too late to wake up.


    Wang Ben didn''t expect this battle to be so difficult, but since Yang Shuang made a move, he could only take it.


    Just as Wang Ben and Yang Shuang fought again in the Western Regions, the Tubo army led by Lun Qinling also drove to the city of Huangyuan.


    Yang Ren stood at the top of the city and saw that the Wushu outside the city was full of Tubo soldiers, and was orderly eliminating the fortifications laid out by the Qin army in advance, he knew that Lun Qinling was a general who was good at siegeing the city.


    "Senior brother, if this continues, the Tubo army will be able to attack Huangyuan City in one day." Tu Xingsun said anxiously.


    Yang Ren nodded and then said, "It is true that we cannot continue like this. We must take the initiative to make the Tubo army exhausted to respond to their duties, so that we can delay more time.


    Junior brother, immediately order a thousand light cavalry and let’s go out of the city to fight against the Tubo army. ”


    "No."


    Yang Ren took Tu Xingsun and a thousand light cavalry out of the city. When the Tubo army outside the city saw that the Qin army had come out, he immediately gave up continuing to clear traps, trenches and other fortifications, and immediately returned to the base camp to report.


    Yang Ren did not pursue, after all, killing these engineers was not of great significance, and he just sent someone to shout for provocation.


    Lun Qinling was originally planning to send generals to challenge after clearing the obstacles to suppress the morale of the Qin army, but he did not expect that the Qin army would come out on his own initiative, so he would naturally not miss this opportunity and immediately ordered the generals of Qi to come to fight.


    When the general sent by the Qin army to challenge him was just an ugly and thin short man, the generals on the Tubo side sneered.
