Sure enough, a few days later, Shang Jiezan led his troops to bypass Liangyuan and other places, crossed Qingshiling, and suddenly attacked Lianyun Castle, the gateway to the west of Jingzhou, and sent a large number of cavalry to cut off the connection between Lianyun Castle and Jingzhou City. Zhang Yufei, the general of Jingyuan Army in Lianyun Castle, was in a hurry to find a fire, so Xing Junya and I led our troops to help Lianyun Castle.

But at the same time, at the Yuanzhou, Shang Jiezan's deputy general Lu Xu Li had already completed the assembly of 30,000 troops on the sand castle.

At this time, the North Road General Enlan Dazhalugong, who had received the golden arrows of Chisong Dezan, immediately announced a "big material collection" in the Hexi prefectures. This person was the "Ma Chongying" in the Chinese history books, and the planner and implementer of "capturing Longyou and going straight to Chang'an" (762 AD). Chisong Dezan once erected a memorial monument for him, boasting about his martial arts:

"Enlan Dazhalugong is loyal, resourceful, brave and profound... First, he conquered the vassals of Tang Ting, seized the population from the Tang territory, and was in a state of tyrants. The Tang people were shocked... Then he initiated the launch of troops to enter the Tang Dynasty and deeply pursued the proposal of the capital. Zanpu used Shang Chen's wild breath and Shutong, and Enlan Dazhalugong, as the commander of the attack on the capital, headed straight to the capital. He fought against the Tang soldiers on the bank of Zhouwu Ferry. The foreign soldiers blocked the attack and attacked many Tang soldiers. King Guangping (Emperor Daizong) walked from the capital, fled to Shanzhou, and the capital fell."

Now Ma Chongying is a tough veteran. After getting the golden arrow, he immediately started a ten thousand households in Hexi, and then followed a ten thousand households in Tuyuhun and a ten thousand households in Shatuo. Each had a chief Xiao Wang who was dependent on the Western Fan. He had a total of 30,000 soldiers, each with light armor and fast horses, without carrying baggage. He drove thousands of miles from Liangzhou Prefecture, crossed the Baishan Shou at the foot of Helan Mountain, crossed the Yellow River at Ulan City, entered Huining, and then received simple supplies. He went to Yuanzhou to destroy the sand castle and quickly joined Xu Li's troops. Then Xu Li gave the command to Ma Chongying.

At the time of Lingwu's moaning in the sand, Ma Chongying asked Lun Xu Li to lead 10,000 soldiers to provoke. When Kang Rizhi's Lingwu soldiers came to fight, Ma Chongying beat the drum, Xifan, Shatuo, and Tuyuhun's spirit cavalry suddenly rose and surrounded the three sides to attack. Kang Rizhi was defeated and fled back to Lingwu City.

Then 60,000 Western foreign soldiers rushed straight to Wuyuan City, Yanzhou like a wind storm.

"So have the encirclement of Lianyun Castle in Jingzhou been lifted out now?" Gao Yue hurriedly asked Duan Xiushi.

Duan Xiushi nodded, but shook his head again, saying that as soon as Xing Junya and I arrived at Lianyun Fort, Shang Jiezan pulled the team and retreated to Qingshiling again. Now Xifan has seven camp forts on Longshan, each with five-colored banners, which echo each of them. It is difficult to know where Shang Jiezan is, and even more difficult to know their main attack direction.

"Dun Gong, Xifan's route in Longshan is just a void soldier. The key to attack is Yanzhou!" Gao Yue said.

"But even if it is the Xu Bing, Feng Xiang and Jingyuan have to deal with it!"
