"The Turks are known as a people on horseback, skilled in arching horses, and it is difficult to invade the three cities at the same time?" A subordinate official of Shangshu Province asked puzzled.

Shangshu Province is in charge of the dispatch of grain and grass, so they also have people attending this imperial meeting.

Xiao Shiji stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult, if the Turks have enough troops. ”

Emperor Yonghui stepped aside and said, "Shiji, you come and tell everyone." ”

Xiao Shihe bowed down and said, "Your Majesty admits it." Then he walked to the map, pointed to the three city guards, and said, "According to the return obtained by the scouts, the Turkic soldiers who appeared in these three states are the elite golden wolf iron cavalry of the new Turkic Khan Jieli. In terms of the strength of the city defense of these three states, the Turkic golden wolf iron cavalry dared to attack the city, and it was necessary to prepare 30,000 to 40,000 golden wolf iron cavalry for each city to besiege. Of course, the city of Xiazhou abandoned the city and fled, this kind of thing is unpredictable. The Turks didn't know that it would be so easy before, so the forces of the faction would still be sent. In this way, Jieli Khan brought nearly 120,000 golden wolf iron horsemen to invade the south this time. ”

The people in the imperial study suddenly let out a "whoosh" and exclaimed.

The golden wolf iron cavalry of the Turks is claimed to be able to reach a hundred with one.

120,000 Golden Wolf Iron Cavalry, even if it is discounted, as long as one is worth ten, they need to dispatch a million troops to withstand the invasion of a wave of Turks.

Everyone present knew that the number of troops they could deploy now was only about 200,000, and facing 120,000 golden wolf iron horsemen was really a drop in the bucket.

"No, we can't resist this time!" Someone had already shouted, "Your Majesty." The dragon body is precious, please move quickly and leave Chang'an! ”

"Leaving Chang'an? Where to go? Emperor Yonghui narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

The man was speechless and thought for a moment. Going to Luoyang? No, it's still too close to the north......

"Why don't we go south and go to Yangzhou Dingdu? In the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty still had a good palace in Yangzhou, and it was possible to ...... that person was not giving up, and actually wanted to persuade Emperor Yonghui to move the capital!

"Shut up! - Drag me out! Hit the 30 big boards! "Emperor Yonghui was really furious. Confronted with a formidable foe. These people don't want to resist. The first thought was to run away and move the capital!

It has been nine years since the beginning of the Great Qi. For most of these nine years, there were no soldiers in danger, and the bones of these people were weak.

Xiao Shihe was busy persuading Emperor Yonghui to calm his anger. And said, "Your Majesty." The minister is not finished yet. ”

"You go on." Emperor Yonghui slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard. Let Xiao Shiji continue.

Xiao Shiji said: "On the surface, the Turks need to dispatch 120,000 golden wolf iron cavalry to achieve the simultaneous invasion of the three cities. And the purpose of taking the three cities at the same time. However, there is a problem, let's not forget. Two years ago, the Turkic golden wolf iron horseman, in Qinzhou City, was led by the wife of the inner son Qin Guo to resist the enemy, and trampled nearly 70,000 golden wolf iron horsemen to death. ”

An Zichang heard the applause and said, "Exactly! The reason why the Turkic golden wolf iron cavalry is called elite is that they cannot be trained overnight. At the time of the siege of Qinzhou, the Turks had a total of 100,000 golden wolf iron horses. After the siege of Qinzhou, there were only 30,000 Turks left at most, even if they selected some Turkic soldiers with outstanding talents in the past two years and trained them to become golden wolf iron cavalry, it would not increase by 10,000 at most, that is to say, the golden wolf iron cavalry brought by Jieli Khan this time was no more than 40,000 at most! ”

Xiao Shihe nodded appreciatively, "What An Guogong said coincides with Xiao. This time, the Turks should have only brought 30,000 or 40,000 golden wolf iron horsemen to invade the south. In other words, in each city, there are only more than 10,000 golden wolf iron cavalry besieging it. - The reason why our defenders were beaten and disarmed was mostly because they were caught off guard. As soon as our reinforcements arrive, these Turks will definitely not defend these cities. ”

The people in the imperial study listened as if they were panting, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's not 120,000 golden wolf iron horses......

Emperor Yonghui's face softened a little, and said, "In this case, you go down and draw up a charter to see how to send reinforcements to take these three cities back!" ”

Xiao Shiji and An Zichang took the order, returned to the military headquarters, and began to discuss the battle strategy with everyone.

Within a few days, the entire Chang'an City learned the news of the Turkic invasion of the south, everyone was panicked, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and many people wanted to leave Chang'an and flee.

However, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor is still sitting in the palace, the Imperial Shuangbi is strategizing and dispatching troops.

Emperor Yonghui personally issued an order to transfer 200,000 troops near Chang'an to the north to recapture the three cities occupied by the Turks, which gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

After all, Chang'an is the capital of Daqi, and once Chang'an falls, whether Daqi can still be called "Daqi" is another matter.

……

"Zhuguo Gong, An Guogong, the scouts have come to report, the Turkic golden wolf iron cavalry has left the three northern cities, disappeared without a trace, and can't find where they went......" The scout who came back from the north lowered his head, fell on the ground and trembled, feeling the anger coming from above, and was almost paralyzed with fright.

They didn't know what was going on, they had been staring at it well, and then it seemed that overnight, these Turkic golden wolf iron horsemen withdrew from the city, like the waves of the ebbing tide, and disappeared completely in an instant, and they could not find even a trace.

"What?!" Xiao Shiji was suddenly angry, walked out from behind the case, and picked up the scout who was lying on the ground with one hand, "There are so many people and horses, how can you suddenly say no, no?" How do you track it?! ”

"My lord! Adult, it's not that the little ones are not dedicated, it's really those golden wolf iron riders who run too fast, and ...... And...... There aren't many of them! The scout said hurriedly.

"Say! Where have you lost them? Anzi often walked over and asked gloomily.

The scout said tremblingly: "The little one followed the golden wolf iron rider who came out of Xiazhou, watched them cross the Wuding River south, and then ...... And then...... I won't be able to find them. ”

"Crossing the Wuding River in the south?! - Oops! Xiao Shiji was shocked, let the scout throw it on the ground, hurriedly walked back to the back of the desk, and found the marks of Xiazhou and Wuding River on the map. He said in a deep voice: "Oh no, I fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

"What's wrong?" An Zichang drove the scout out out of the river, walked over and stood beside Xiao Shiji and asked, "The Wuding River is here, cross the ...... from the Wuding River to the south" His heart also sank.

Indeed, if you cross from the south of Wuding River, there are countless paths that can be sent to Chang'an City!

In other words, the Turks first used the method of surprise attack to create an illusion for the soldiers of Daqi. I thought they were menacing with hundreds of thousands of golden wolf iron horses. Break the fighting spirit of the soldiers of Daqi. Then while the soldiers of Daqi were still dispatching, they turned south to cross the Yongding River, and approached Chang'an City without knowing it.

As long as they carefully conceal their whereabouts. Act fast. This first batch of golden wolf iron horsemen. You can come to Chang'an City at any time!

However, His Majesty has just transferred more than 200,000 troops near Chang'an City to the north!

Even if you hurry up and send an order to recover it, you may not have time to deal with this group of golden wolf iron riders that may appear soon!

Chang'an City. Now except for the more than 10,000 garrisons guarding the palace, it is almost empty.

Xiao Shiji stood in front of Yutu and did not speak for a long time.

It was getting dark, and the guards of the military headquarters came and lit the big candle of butter.

Xiao Shiji didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

"Grandpa Guo, your wife sent someone to bring soup. Do you want to use a bowl? A guard stepped forward and asked.

An Zichang smiled and said: "Dare to love your wife and my wife have made an appointment, and the two of them will be sent by changing shifts." Yesterday you ate my food, and today I will eat yours. ”

Xiao Shiji smiled and waved his hand: "You go and eat, I want to think again." ”

An Zichang sighed, shook his head and patted Xiao Shiji's shoulder, "Brother Xiao, the sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, we can't do anything that can't be done." With that, he went to dinner.

Xiao Shiji stood in front of Yutu for a long time, and finally had an idea, only to find that he was really hungry, and immediately rushed over to grab vegetables to eat with An Zichang.

Anzi often finished the food in the bowl with a few bites, and said vaguely: "You finally know that Lu Dao is hungry?" ”

Xiao Shiji smiled, put all the food on the table into a big bowl, ate it quickly like a wind, threw the bowl, and said to An Zichang: "Let's go, let's go see Your Majesty." ”

An Zi was often pushed away by him, smiling and talking to him about other things, wanting to relax his tense nerves, "That Suiyuan County Lord, has you been in trouble lately?" ”

Xiao Shiji glanced at him, "When is it, you still say such things?" ”

"I'm talking about business." An Zichang said, "Do you know that girl has bad intentions, why don't you kill her?" Anzi often made a gesture of chopping off his head.

"How do you know I haven't done it?" Xiao Shiji sneered, squinting at him, very disdainful.

"Cut, come less. You're going to kill someone on purpose, and she's still alive? Yasuko was often even more disdainful.

"You can't say that. Does Princess Chaoyang of Da Zhou also have the intention to kill you, she has killed you for so many years, why are you still standing here alive? Xiao Shiji scoffed.

"How is this the same? I won't stand here and let her kill, I ......" An Zichang suddenly couldn't go on, yes, he wouldn't stand here and let Princess Chaoyang kill, and similarly, Qi Yuexian, the county lord of Suiyuan, who was once the crown princess, would not stand here and let Xiao Shiji come to kill.

The secret war behind them must have been fought many times, and no one could please them before they fell into this situation.

Both sides understand that this is to make a living eye out of the dead, and it depends on who can hold on better.

"Go by yourself, I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep. I'm not as good as you, I can go days and nights without sleep......" Anzi often said, yawning, and the look on his face was very haggard.

Xiao Shiji shook his head, "Then you go back, I'll go see Your Majesty." With that, he had already strode out of the military headquarters, mounted his horse, and ran towards the imperial city.

An Zichang squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Shiji's back for a while, and said with emotion: "No wonder this person can make the Turks frightened. With his ruthlessness, he can chase the Turks when they want to sleep, so that they can't sleep, who's going to fight him? He smiled and went back to the Anguo Mansion to recuperate.

When Zhu Susu saw him come back, he hurriedly prepared water for him to bathe, and Anzi often fell asleep in the bathtub.

Xiao Shiji entered the palace all the way and asked to see Emperor Yonghui.

Emperor Yonghui had just fallen asleep, and when he heard that it was Xiao Shiji who asked to see him, he hurriedly got up from the bed, put on a bed coat and ran to the outer hall. He asked, "Shiji, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Shiji was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Disturbing Your Majesty's rest, the minister deserves death......

"Who did you learn from these things?!" Emperor Yonghui smiled and gently sneered at Xiao Shiji, and pulled him to the small study next to the dormitory, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Shiji took a deep breath and said, "First tell Your Majesty the next bad news." More than 10,000 golden wolf iron horsemen suddenly crossed the Yongding River in the south. Then it disappears between the mountains. If they find a suitable path, they will come to Chang'an City at any time. ”

Emperor Yonghui's face suddenly turned very pale.

The dim candlelight flickered, casting on his face, looming. His expression was a little distorted.

"You're not telling me. Our Chang'an is almost an empty city. Yes and no?! ”

"Exactly. We have just dispatched 200,000 troops to the north, and even if we recall them immediately, they will not be faster than this group of golden wolf iron horsemen who have already crossed the Yongding River in the south. Of course. It must be recalled, the matter is urgent, the minister has no time to ask His Majesty for instructions, and has already issued a secret order to go out, let them return to the capital quickly, and hope that His Majesty will forgive his sins! Xiao Shihe said calmly.

Emperor Yonghui stared at his eyes tightly, and after a while, he slowly showed a smile, patted Xiao Shiji's shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and obey the power, I forgive you for your innocence!" - Judging by the way you look, I think you have an idea, tell me what you plan to do? ”

Xiao Shihe unfolded the map in the small study of Emperor Yonghui, and pointed to Emperor Yonghui to take a closer look.

"Your Majesty, please see, what is the difference between Jieli Khan's southern invasion this time and the last time he besieged Qinzhou City?"

Emperor Yonghui touched his chin and muttered: "Last time, the Turks have been besieging Qinzhou City, and they have not taken the initiative to provoke and attack the city like this time. ”

"Exactly! Your Majesty! Xiao Shihe complimented Emperor Yonghui.

"Fuck you! Come with me! Emperor Yonghui scolded with a smile, "Say it quickly!" What's your idea? ”

Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, this time Jieli Khan did not take the city by besieging the city like the Turkic Khan last time, but has been invading the city along the road from Shuobei to Chang'an, using very few troops to create the largest chaos, and at the same time, he will grab a city and then withdraw immediately, and there is no real intention to occupy it at all." Yichen saw that this time, he was not trying to grab the land at all, this time, he was not small, but ......" Xiao Shiji paused, looked at Emperor Yonghui's eyes, and said word by word: "It's for the purpose of exploring the way, surveying and planning my Daqi's map!" ”

Emperor Yonghui was terrified.

In the past, the Turks invaded Daqi mainly by looting property and grain, and did not think of really occupying the territory of Dazhou or Daqi.

Therefore, they have always changed places with a single shot, and as long as they have grabbed enough property and food, they will return to the Turkic royal court in Shuobei.

And this time, it seems that what they are trying to do is no longer the wealth and food of Daqi, but the vast and fertile land!

It's the real territory of Daqi!

The Turks want to replace Daqi!

"The barbarians are not very ambitious...... Emperor Yonghui said predictively, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly around the main hall, "This time, it seems that they are going to test our skills." ”

Xiao Shiji nodded, "This time it should be a small test." Then, it was a real devastating south. ”

"So this time, we must cut off their claws that stretched out to tempt!" Emperor Yonghui made up his mind and looked back at Xiao Shiji, "Shiji, do you have a way?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Shihe replied in a deep voice, then half-knelt down, and said to Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, please give the soldiers and military talismans, and the soldiers will ask for a battle, and they will not return if they do not break the Turks!" ”

Emperor Yonghui looked at Xiao Shiji deeply, as if he saw the heroic appearance of the "God of War" who shocked the enemy camp in Shuobei and made the Turks fearful.

"Okay, I'll go out and sing an empty city plan! I'll hand over the only 10,000 garrisons in Chang'an City to you! You give me the golden wolf iron horse to block the Turks, and I will give you the king of the earth! If you break your oath, but with this cup! As he spoke, Emperor Yonghui raised the cup in his hand and threw it to the ground.

It was a jade cup, and it immediately jingled and was shattered.

Xiao Shiji knelt down on one knee and said to Emperor Yonghui: "Thank you, Your Majesty will reward you generously." But protecting the family and defending the country is what every big Qi man should do. The minister did not dare to take credit. This trip ......" Xiao Shiji felt a little pain in his heart, thinking of his wife, children, and sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, younger brother, second uncle, all his relatives and friends......

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This trip, if the minister is unfortunately martyred, please take care of the minister's wife and children." The minister has nothing else to think about, only the minister's wife can rest assured. If there really is such a day, please ask Your Majesty to allow her to remarry, and ask the queen to personally help her choose a good husband. ”

He knew that even if he died this time, Du Hengshuang would not look for death for him anymore.

Last time, when he was rumored to be "martyred", Du Hengshuang was so discouraged that he closed himself off, ignoring even his two young children. Now that he thinks about it, Xiao Shiji would rather use everything he has in exchange for Du Hengshuang's affection.

But what is lost, lost forever.

He didn't know if he would have a chance to find the Du Hengshuang who was defenseless in front of him, loved fiercely, and hated decisively......

He just didn't worry about her living alone.

He is a soldier, and it is his duty to die on the battlefield and shroud in horse leather, and what he can do is to arrange a back road for his wife and children before he goes on the expedition, a road that can make them live happily even without him......
