Li Yan of the Northern Zhou Zhuguo is also old now.

The Liaodong Li clan reached its heyday when Li Yan's father, Li Bi, served as the Eight Pillars, but now with the death of Li Yao and Li Hui, the eldest and second sons of the Li family, the third Li Yan supported the huge Li clan alone, and also felt the heavy pressure.

After all, he is already old, and his body and mental head cannot be compared with before.

Although it was late at night, Li Yan couldn't sleep at all.

Fufeng County (now Xingping), where he is located, is very close to Chang'an City, and it belongs to one of the three auxiliaries, and the latter of the "Left Feng Yi, Right Fufeng" is the Fufeng County. Xianbei went south from the north and swept across the Central Plains, and Fufeng County, as a defense against the northwest, naturally became irrelevant, but as Li Xinchen called for wind and rain in the northwest and Hanzhong, and formed a two-sided posture against Guanzhong, the importance of Fufeng County was naturally reflected again.

There are at least 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed here in Fufeng County, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses on the north side to cover the back road of Xiaoguan Liang Rui's department, forming the first line of defense and the only line of defense against Hanzhong, so the veteran Li Yan has always been more cautious. As long as the Han army did not attack in depth of the defensive line, then he would not take the initiative to contact the Han army.

Previously, Xiao Shilian once led an army from Hanzhong to attack Qizhou, which was located on the west side of Fufeng County, while Li Yan held his troops and held on to Fufeng, and finally Xiao Shilian had to retreat because his flanks were exposed to the northwest that had not been completely pacified at that time. But after learning the lesson of this time, Li Yan directly went out to seize several key roads in Qizhou after Xiao Shilian withdrew his troops, and finally blocked the widest Xiegu Road.

Now Li Yanman's mind is thinking about how to deal with the enemy who is destined to be attacked from both sides of Hanzhong and Tianshui, Chun Yuliang in Hanzhong is a veteran of Nan Chen, and once the troops are dispatched, it is unlikely that Chun Yuliang will go into battle in person, but as his deputy generals, Han Baohu and Niu Hong are not fuel-efficient lamps, these two people are rebel generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they are very familiar with Guanzhong and even Li Yan's method of marching and arranging, and both of them are still in their prime, so they are by no means easy.

In contrast, not to mention the Tianshui side, Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan had just won a great victory over the Turks, proving that they did have the ability to take charge of themselves, especially compared to Han Baohu and Niu Hong, they were much younger.

At this time, young people are the most difficult to deal with······ Because young people always don't know what kind of ghost idea will come up at any time, unexpectedly.

Just when Li Yan was tossing and turning for the future western front and couldn't sleep, a sharp knock on the door came, and Li Yan sat up.

"General, the prince of Guangling is asking to see you outside the city!"

"What, Guangling Jungong?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows and put on his clothes, "He Yuwen Xiaobo is not honestly guarding the palace, what are you doing here?" ”

The core of the Guanlong group is actually the Yuwen family, after the Yuwen family replaced the Western Wei Dynasty as the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the eight major families united around the Yuwen family naturally became the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It's just that the Yuwen family has changed from the original family partner to the royal family after succeeding to the throne, and has actually stood on the opposite side of the interests of the Guanlong group, after all, the family and the imperial power can only achieve a certain balance and mutual checks and balances, but it is impossible to completely rely on each other and coexist with each other.

Therefore, Li Yan is not very interested in the people of the Yuwen family, and this Yuwen filial uncle has been responsible for staying behind and handling government affairs for a long time, and he has no contact with Li Yan.

At the moment, Li Yan also raised a little vigilance, and he also heard of the tension in the capital, but as the only important general guarding the Sanfu area of the Western Front, Li Yan knew that no matter how he struggled in the capital, he would not be able to fight his head, whether it was Yu Wenyun or Yang Jian who had the upper hand, he would not be able to do anything to himself, people had reached this age, and he did not seek how to improve, as long as he could keep his current position, Li Yan would be content.

But this Yuwen Xiaobo, as Yuwen Yun's close minister, ran to the right to support the wind at this time, what did he want to do?

But even if he knew that Yuwen Xiaobo should not have anything good to come to him, Li Yan had to bite the bullet to meet him. However, when Li Yan saw Yuwen Xiaobo who was soaking wet, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and then he saw the young man who was following Yuwen Xiaobo.

"Your Majesty······ Your Majesty?! Li Yan hurriedly took two steps forward, "Weichen didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he missed the distance, and the ministers saw Your Majesty!" ”

Yu Wenyun has been pampered all his life, when has he ever suffered like this, a long time of galloping on a horse has made his legs tremble, and the dragon robe that symbolizes the emperor's authority has already been soaked, after all, he was in a hurry, and the clothes and hats that he brought up in a hurry were directly blown away by the wind on the road, and the whole clothes were full of mud ideas.

This all tells Li Yan how embarrassed Yuwenyun is, and the more embarrassed Yuwenyun is, the more flamboyant Yang Jian is, and it is even possible that Yang Jian has completely won the victory in Chang'an City. But no matter what, now Yu Wenyun is also the son of heaven in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Li Yan didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked people to bring hot soup and blankets to wait for Yu Wenyun and others to rest.

And Yu Wenyun pulled over the blanket, strode to Li Yan's handsome chair, and said in a cold voice: "General Li Yan obeys orders!" ”

"The last general!" Li Yan hurriedly said.

"I order you to immediately lead a large army to attack Chang'an City and exterminate the rebellious Yang Jian!"

Li Yan secretly screamed in his heart.

And so it was!

Before he could react, a herald rushed in: "Report, something is wrong, Wei Xiaokuan's headquarters is thirty miles away from Youfufeng City, and the two camps in the west of the city have been completely controlled by him!" ”

"What, it's coming so fast?!" Yu Wenyun couldn't sit still this time.

And Yuwen Xiaobo next to him drew out his sword: "General, you are still not quick to obey the holy decree, do you want to resist the decree?!" ”

Li Yan exhaled, and Huo Ran raised his head.

Things have developed to this point all of a sudden, which Li Yan never expected. However, the army of Fufeng County could not go west and Wei Xiaokuan to merge with each other, so that the really cheap was actually the Han army that was eyeing the tiger, and they would inevitably pounce on Qizhou at the first moment of receiving the news, and even directly kill Fufeng to the right, and then the entire western front would collapse.

What's more, nine out of ten of the troops brought by Wei Xiaokuan are the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Lantian battalion, and there are forty or fifty thousand in number, and there may even be more than 50,000 reinforcements behind, how can Li Yan compete with Wei Xiaokuan with these soldiers and horses in his hands?

And even if it blocks Wei Xiaokuan, then what about after that?

After that, there was Gao Xi, and Yang Jian himself.
