Chapter 286: The beacon shines on Xijing

At dusk, in Pujin Pass, Yang Tong looked at Li Jing's Flying Eagle Legend and praised loudly: "The pharmacist has launched an attack, burning 30,000 Tang troops at the cost of more than 100 people in Bayan Mountain, Xiping County, Li Shimin gave up Douhe County, and led the main force to flee to Lintao County in panic!" Xue Wanjun and Duan De are like a bamboo, and they have already taken over Caohan and the northern part of Jincheng! Now Xue Wanjun led 30,000 and 100,000 slave soldiers of our army to Longxi. ”

"Great! The recovery of Guanzhong is just around the corner. ”

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, should we do something? Support from the side? Luo Shixin said excitedly, they have an army of 100,000 here, and they can do something, but why is His Highness, who is usually domineering, not moving at all this time as if he is nothing.

It's illogical.

"Xiao Luo, you are about to get married, why are you still in such a hurry!" Wei Chigong said with a smile.

"Can you not rush me!" Luo Shixin blushed and said loudly: "You all have several babies, Your Highness and I were born in the same year and month, and the children are four, no, five!" I don't have to rush me. ”

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed!

Yang Tong said with a smile: "The reason why we didn't move was to wait for news from the pharmacist!" Now, the attacking fighter has arrived. ”

"That's a good feeling!"

"Your Highness will arrange it."

The generals were overjoyed and extremely excited, and their eyes showed a thick murderous intent that suffocated them in just two days.

"Feng Yi has eight counties, Qu Tutong led an army of 50,000 to sit in Chengcheng County, the center of Feng Yi, playing the role of the center, the remaining seven counties have defenders ranging from 3,000 and 5,000, Feng Yi County and Chaoyi County south of Pujin Pass each have 5,000 defenders, and Guangtongcang, further south, has 10,000 elites. If I attacked them one by one, I would lose countless troops and it would take time and effort, so I decided to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"How?"

Yang Tong said loudly: "There is a beacon tower in Pujin Pass, and the five beacon flames indicate that Pujin Pass is in danger, and the five burns are at the same point, and the defenders from nearby counties will inevitably flock to help, and we will ambush on the way." ”

"Wonderful!" Bae Renji praised.

"Wei Chi, you lead 10,000 Xiaoguo and 10,000 Hedong troops to set up an ambush near Changchun Palace, and take Fengyi County after annihilating the enemy who came to help.

"Whoa!" Wei Chigong's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips excitedly, which didn't seem to be challenging.

"Shen Guang, is there a problem with you commanding 10,000 Xiaoguo and 10,000 Hedong troops to secretly go south and knock down Guangtongcang for me?"

"Your Highness puts a hundred hearts, and the general will definitely knock down the Guangtong Warehouse to you in its entirety!" Shen Guang patted his chest and said.

"Remember it for me, I don't care about the materials in Guangtong Warehouse, you are my arm across the world, and your safety is the most important!" Yang Tong smiled faintly.

"Assisting His Highness to unify the world and create a great cause for thousands of years is the luck of the last general's life." Shen Guang was extremely grateful, but his heart to win a complete Guangtong warehouse was even more determined.

"Xiao Luo, Lao Niu, the two of you will lead 10,000 Xiaoguo and 5,000 Hedong Army, and follow me for a while."

"Whoa!"

The second general answered the order loudly.

Yang Tong bowed his hand to Pei Renji and said: "General Pei, we will set off on the second watch, and you will light the beacon fire on the third watch, and Pujin Pass and the Tang army from Chaoyi County will be handed over to you." ”

"Your Highness, just relax. Please be careful, Your Highness. Bae Renji solemnly responded.

"General Pei, don't worry." Yang Tong smiled and instructed one of the guards: "Send a letter to Xingyan and Dingfang respectively, and let the second general launch an attack on Beidi County and Shangjun respectively at the third watch!" We bloomed on all sides tonight, so that Li Yuan woke up and found that most of Guanzhong had been lost. ”

The generals laughed heroically

……

Late at night!

The Anren Hall of Daxing Palace is Zhang Jieyu's dormitory, the palace is full of palace guards, a team of mighty and majestic guards patrol back and forth, there are also secret sentinels in all corners of the imperial garden, and the strict security indicates that Li Yuan, the emperor of Li Tang, will stay here tonight.

At the time of the third watch, the entire Daxing Palace was very quiet.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from a temple, shattering the silence of the night, and a guard strode towards the Anren Palace, and the guards here were immediately alert.

"Those who trespass on the forbidden palace will be killed. Come and report your name, so as not to make mistakes! ”

In the sound of short blades unsheathed, the weapons in the hands of the guards pointed at the daredevils who trespassed on the forbidden palace.

"I'm Li Sixing!" The voice of the person who came was full of majesty.

With the help of the light, the guards also recognized Li Sixing, the general of the Zhige, at this time, and immediately put away their weapons one after another.

Li Sixing is one of Li Yuan's henchmen, before the army sent him to Chang'an to inquire about the movement, after returning to Taiyuan, the truth of Guanzhong was told in detail, for Li Yuanzhi's question, it was also the answer to the head, deep in Li Yuan's meaning, was awarded the left three unified army. He served in the army to break the Song Dynasty, Pingjingcheng, and was awarded the hussar general and the general of the Zhige for his merits, and was the thirteenth of the fourteen founding heroes who saved the Tang Dynasty from dying once, and had a very high status in the court.

"General Li, the Holy One has rested, and it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow." Two chamberlains stopped Li Sixing.

"The beacon tower on the south peak of Lishan has lit five beacon fires, which is an urgent military situation of 100,000. It is necessary to report to the Holy God immediately, and it will be too late. Li Sixing was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet.

When the two chamberlains heard this, they saw that Li Sixing looked frightened, and they didn't dare to make decisions without permission, if they missed the major military affairs, they couldn't afford it, and one of them hurriedly said: "Please wait for a while, general." ”

The old eunuch turned around and walked towards the palace, the dormitory of the Anren Hall was very quiet, there were two incense burners in the corner, the rich sandalwood permeated the whole hall, the ground was covered with a thick carpet of the Western Regions, the wall was hung with colorful Shu brocade and embroidery, and several long silk curtains on the hall were pendant with fist-sized night pearls, sprinkling a faint pearl to every corner of the hall.

Eight jade screens divide the main hall into two. Eight palace maids stood outside the jade screen, ready to be called at any time.

There is an ivory gold wire bed on the jade steps in the hall, and the hibiscus gauze tent is hung on the bed, and the Tang Emperor Li Yuan and the young and beautiful Zhang Jieyu hug each other and sleep in the gauze tent.

This old chamberlain reported outside Yuping: "Saint, General Li Sixing has 100,000 urgent military intelligence reports. ”

But!

After Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu fell in love, they had already fallen into a deep sleep, how could they hear that low voice?

Helplessly, the old chamberlain raised his voice and said again.

"What?"

Li Yuan was woken up, but his voice was full of anger.

"Holy. General Li Sixing said that the southern peak of Lishan was lit with five beacon fires. The chamberlain said cautiously.

The inner servant also knew that the external enemy would only light the Lishan beacon tower, and the strange thing of the princes of the beacon fire show was that only King Zhou You dared to play since ancient times, and the emperor did not dare to mess around, and the people below did not dare to set fire indiscriminately.

"I know, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Li Yuan was confused and said impatiently.

After a pause, the chamberlain raised his voice again: "Holy Lord, it is the five beacon fires that are lit at the same time. ”

"What?"

Li Yuan finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and his drowsiness disappeared without a trace, and he sat up suddenly.

There are three beacon towers in Lishan, the north peak is the beacon fire that indicates an accident in the north, the middle peak is an accident west of Guanzhong, and the south peak refers to the police in the eastern part of the country, and the five beacon fires are lit at the same time, which means that a certain pass has reached a precarious point.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he ran out of bed barefoot, grabbed his robe and put it on.

Zhang Jieyu didn't dare to sleep anymore, she called the palace maid on call to come in and put on Li Yuan's robe, and Li Yuan had no leisure to enjoy, he ran out in a hurry while tying a jade belt barefoot.

When Li Sixing saw Li Yuan coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, it is likely that something happened to Pujin Pass." ”

This is also what Li Yuanzhi thinks.

Wang Shichong only has a palm-sized territory, and he has no power to advance westward, and only the Sui army can force Pujin to connect the five beacons.

It seems that the Pujin Pass is not far from being broken, if the dangerous pass is lost, the powerful cavalry of the Sui Dynasty will not enter the no man's land in the pass, how should his Li Tang Dynasty deal with it? Can you handle it?

The consequences of the dangerous loss made Li Yuan instantly think of the palace fire that often woke him up from nightmares.

In just an instant, the clothes on Li Yuan's body were already soaked with cold sweat, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go and summon the prince and the Xiangguo to the Ganlu Hall quickly." ”

Li Yuan forced himself to calm down, he returned to the palace for a simple wash, and hurried to the Imperial Ganlu Palace.

Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Dou Wei, and Dugu got the news and quickly rushed to the palace, and they were all stunned when they heard the news that the five beacons on the south peak of Lishan were even pointed.

"See Father!"

"See the Holy One!"

After the six of them arrived at the Ganlu Palace, they saluted Li Yuan, who had calmed down, one after another.

"No need to be polite! Sit it all! Li Yuan asked everyone to sit, but he couldn't sit down at all, and he emphatically reminded: "Although the specific situation is unclear, I think something happened to Pujinguan." Wang Shichong was unable to advance westward, and it was obvious that the Sui army was attacking. ”

Li Yuan exhaled heavily, Li Tang had just decided to recall the Tuntian Army and launch a fatal blow to Yongbei, and Yang Tong came to the door, is this considered retribution?

"Five fires burn together! It means that the threshold has reached and is about to fall, or it is falling. This Yang Tong really can't be careless at all. Everyone is talking about it now, how should I deal with it? ”

"Father!" Li Jiancheng comforted: "The matter may not be as serious as we imagined. ”

"Hmmm! How so? Li Yuan saw Li Jiancheng's calm demeanor, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.

"Pujin Pass General He Panren is the old department of the third sister, when under the leadership of the third sister, swept the Guanzhong Righteous Army, that is, Qu Tu Shangshu was also repeatedly defeated by the third sister, although this person has no world-class talent, but is also a battle-hardened general, it is more than enough to hold a pass, the reason why there are five beacons, perhaps is that I don't know how many enemies are in the dark, so this is the most urgent way to warn. Pujin Pass is a heavy pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is only one pontoon bridge that can march, and the Sui army cannot open a siege formation even if it has a million people. He Panren has the advantage of fortifying the city, the danger of the terrain, and there are 10,000 defenders, no matter how bad it is, he can hold it for two hours, and by then, the defenders of Fengyi County, Chaoyi County, and Guangtongcang have already supported in place. Not far away in Chengcheng County, Qu Tu Shangshu commanded 50,000 elites, and when he arrived, everything would be fine. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, his depression dissipated a lot, and he felt a lot more comfortable, but he was an emperor after all, and he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness in this kind of big thing, so he asked again: "What if the Pujin Pass is lost?" ”

"Even if the Pujin Pass is broken, there is still Qu Tutong. He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, has rich combat experience, and is famous for his good defense, with his 50,000 elite army, how can he buy us time to prepare. ”

"Not necessarily!" Pei Lian's voice was very loud, and he said with a hint of contempt and distrust: "Qu Tutong was loyal to the Sui Dynasty in Hedong County, and finally he was forced to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, this person is not credible. ”

The other five people all glanced at him coldly, Pei Lin was the best at being behind his back, everyone was very wary of him, they didn't want to be with him, and no one paid attention to his words at all.

But Li Yuan's brows were slightly furrowed, and then he said: "Qu Tu Aiqing's character and loyalty don't need to be discussed, I believe in him." ”

Believe it?

If he believed it, he would not acquiesce to his son-in-law, Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department, to set up Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department. It's just that Li Yuan didn't want to say it, but Pei Lian's words pierced a thorn in his heart, and he felt very uneasy.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Pei Lin coldly, and said to Li Yuan: "What is really worrying is that since Yang Tong has launched an offensive, it is definitely not just Hedong Road. ”

These words are said to Li Yuan's heart, if Yang Tong just came all the way, it would be easy to say, but Yang Tong ordered most of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, if the Hedong side could not open the situation, he could attack Guanzhong from Yan'an, Honghua, and Pingliang, and he could also attack the Hehuang region where Li Tangxin started from Huining and Wuwei. In this way, Li Tang needs to be defended everywhere, and consumes a lot of national strength in the confrontation, even if he does not enter Guanzhong, he can also send a large army to the border to disgust Li Tang when Li Tang goes south, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, so that Li Tang is forced to withdraw his troops. Yang Tong can definitely do this kind of thing, and not once or twice. Why has the Hehuang area in Hexi been so slow to be pacified? It's not how powerful Xue Ju's father and son and Liang Shi are, but Yang Tong always spoils the good things of Datang, and whenever Li Tang is about to win, he will jump out to stir up the situation. Otherwise, how could the war in Hexi remain unresolved?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right." Xiao Yu sighed lightly, looked at Li Yuan and said, "The Holy Lord needs to prepare early." ”
