After Lu Yu escaped from the army camp of Youxian King Buzatuo, he took the Uighur slaves and 20,000 war horses and fled eastward first, where he met Tu Lu, the Danghu of Beihu.

After killing Wulihan, the second son of King Youxian, Tu Lu let him go. Lu Yu took these Uighur slaves and 20,000 war horses and prepared to take a detour back to Yangguan.

Along the way, Lu Yu encountered many horse thieves and refugees on the grassland.

These people initially wanted to rob Lu Yu, but in the end they were subdued by him and followed him all the way around Shazhou City.

Over the years, after Xirong rose on the grasslands, they continued to conquer and kill herdsmen of all ethnic groups, turning herdsmen of other races into their own slaves.

Among them, the Uighurs and Qiang people were the most severely enslaved.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, these ethnic minority herdsmen are not willing to become slaves of the Xirong people.

After meeting Lu Yu, Lu Yu preached to them the multi-ethnic integration policy implemented by Chu Tianjiao in Ganzhou, and the Chu family's good reputation of guarding the northwest for hundreds of years and not killing innocent people was guaranteed. Most of these ethnic minority herdsmen were willing to follow Lu Yu. Returned to Ganzhou and was protected by Chu Tianjiao.

When he arrived at Shazhou City, Lu Yu already had more than 20,000 people, 30,000 war horses, and tens of thousands of sheep.

Shazhou City was originally the royal city of the Shazhou Uighurs. When such a group of people came outside Shazhou City, Lu Yu naturally had the idea of ​​going to Shazhou City to have a look.

He and Phantom sneaked into Shazhou City and learned about Chu Tianjiao's victory at Yumen Pass.

He originally wanted to destroy Shazhou City's supplies and cut off Xirong's supplies.

I also heard from the Xirong general in the city that Ashina Tuobo was gathering troops to besiege Yangguan.

Lu Yu was worried about the siege of Yangguan, and immediately thought that if he occupied Shazhou City, Ashina Tuobo would definitely send troops back to attack, so that he could share the pressure on Chu Tianjiao.

Except for the 10,000 Xirong garrison in Shazhou City, the others were all Uighurs.

Lu Yu secretly sent Uncle Jacob and several people who had been Uighur shamans and clan leaders into Shazhou City.

Everyone was of the same race, and Uncle Jacob and others quickly persuaded the Uighur slave leaders in the city.

The night before yesterday, Lu Yu and Phantom first took control of the city gate official, opened the city gate, and let the herdsmen of all ethnic groups he gathered into the city.

They joined forces with the Uighurs in the city, killed the Xirong soldiers in the city, captured Zahar, the Xian King of Zuo, and occupied Shazhou City.

Lu Yu sent someone back to Yangguan to deliver a message to Chu Tianjiao, but the route taken by the messenger happened to miss the route taken by Chu Tianjiao and Chu Minyu.

So Lu Yu didn't know yet that the king of his family was on his way to Shazhou City.

Facing the Xirong army under Shazhou City, Lu Yu felt a little nervous.

Shazhou City is not very strong. It is really difficult to defend Shazhou City with only the more than 20,000 herdsmen and the 10,000 Uighur slaves who have just surrendered in the city.

He had never learned a marching formation, nor did he know how to fight a city defense battle. He divided his men into several waves, with the young and strong guarding the city wall, and the old and weak responsible for supplying supplies to the city wall.

They also called in the most respected herdsmen of all ethnic groups to mobilize everyone before the war.

Lu Yu, dressed in fluttering white clothes, stood on the stairs of the city wall, looking down at the people of all ethnic groups below.

He was born extremely beautiful, and he used to have a feminine aura that was difficult to distinguish between male and female. Now after experiencing the long-term travel and the wind and sand of the grassland, his whole temperament has changed.

The heroic spirit between his brows and his handsome face make people forget their vulgarity and naturally admire him.

The grassland people believe in gods. In their eyes, Lu Yu's image is that of an immortal in heaven.

I don’t know who took the lead. Ever since Lu Yu changed out of his sheepskin jacket, many herdsmen secretly called him "the messenger of God". Many people believed that Lu Yu was the messenger sent by God to save everyone.

Lu Yu waved his hand, and everyone fell silent and listened to him carefully.

"Ashna Tubo and ninety thousand Xirong enemy troops are just below the city. I estimate that the Xirong people will begin to attack the city soon."

Some of the herdsmen had timid looks on their faces, and even some of the former Uighur nobles from Shazhou City who had just surrendered had their eyes flickering, as if they had some bad intentions.

Only the two thousand people who escaped from King Youxian's army camp with Lu Yu from the beginning showed determination and claimed that everything was under Lu Yu's command.

Lu Yu knew very well that these people had been enslaved by the Xirong people for many years and had developed a heart of fear. At this time, they must be cheered up.

He stood tall and tall, his expression was cold and solemn, and he looked around at the people of all ethnic groups in front of him.

"Don't think about surrendering. I can tell you clearly that surrendering is a dead end."

Lu Yu's voice was calm and cold, as if he was just describing a fact, but every word was clearly transmitted to the ears of the Uighurs, Qiang, Donghu, and Gaochang people.

Uncle Jacob stood up and said in Uighur dialect:

"People, what the messenger said is true. No matter in the past or in the future, the Xirong people have never left us a way to survive.

We have defected again. Once the Xirong people break through Shazhou City, we will only die.

We have no choice but to hold on to the city. "

Uncle Jacob has a high prestige among the Uighurs.

Those Uighurs also knew that what Lu Yu and Uncle Jacob said was true.

The thought of surrender that had just arisen disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yu then continued:

“You may be afraid of the Xirong people, but you must know that the Xirong people are not invincible.

Not long ago, our king, Chu Tianjiao, the first-class martial general of Li Kingdom, just destroyed King Zuo Xian's one hundred thousand army at Yumen Pass.

Now, Ashina Trabo has also been driven back to Shazhou City by our king.

Chu Tianjiao is the invincible God of War descended from heaven.

Ashina Trabo could only run away when he saw her.

I have already sent a letter to my king, and she will rush to Shazhou City to rescue her soon.

As long as everyone works together and defends until my king comes to help, we can drive away the Xirong people. "

From the time he recruited these herdsmen of all ethnic groups, Lu Yu kept preaching that Chu Tianjiao was brave and invincible. Now Chu Tianjiao has gradually become a myth in the hearts of these people of all ethnic groups.

Hearing Lu Yu say that Chu Tianjiao would come to the rescue, these people's faces showed joy.

After some mobilization, the army in Shazhou City was full of high morale and composed of people of all ethnic groups and entered a state of preparation for war.

Seeing that his eldest son had fooled someone, Phantom pulled Lu Yu aside and asked: "What if Miss Chu doesn't receive our message and can't come in time? Do you want me to leave the city at this time and find a way to run away?" Going to Yangguan?"

Lu Yu pointed to the Xirong military camp outside the city and said: "It is difficult for you to get out at this time. The Xirong people have surrounded us tightly.

According to time calculation, the news that we have occupied Shazhou City should have just reached Yangguan. Even if the king arrives, it will still take two or three days.

There is Ashina Tuobao's royal flag under the city. The army of Xirong should be led by Ashina Tuobao himself. It seems that there are more than 90,000 people.

Since Ashina Trabo has returned to the sandbank, it means that the siege of Yangguan has been resolved.

According to the character of my king, after receiving my summons, she will definitely come to surround me and attack Ashina Trabo.

I'm just afraid that she didn't receive the summons.

Once Shazhou City is attacked by Ashina Tuobo, we will be able to escape, but Uncle Jacob and the others will probably have a hard time surviving.

So no matter what, we must wait until the king arrives. "

Phantom stood beside Lu Yu, looking at his eldest son's frown, and sighed.

Just do what you like. The prince asked him to defend the city, and he would just help defend it.

Privately, Phantom was still worried that Chu Tianjiao would not come, but the eldest son of his family absolutely believed in Miss Chu, so even if he tried to persuade her, it would be of no use.

In the evening, Buzato led 40,000 Xirong soldiers and began to attack the city.

The city wall of Shazhou City was made of rammed loess and was not very high. The Xirong people kept climbing up the city wall. Lu Yu and Phantom led the Uighur slaves and fought hard to kill the enemy.

Soon, Lu Yu's white robe was soaked in the enemy's blood.

This round of siege lasted until late at night, and Shazhou City lost more than 5,000 people. Finally, the Xirong people called for gold and retreated.
