Yang Er attended the evening reception banquet on time, followed by Zhong Jian and Luo Shixin, who was holding a double hammer, on both sides of him were Chuchen and Wang Dai, Yang Er came to the guest position in the center and sat down, Chuchen and Wang Dai sat down on his left and right, Zhong Jian and Luo Shixin stood behind Yang Er.

On the left seat are Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, and Mrs. Qin, and at the next table is the son Luo Cheng. The rest of the Yanshan civil and military officials were arranged on both sides of the escort seats.

At this time, Yang Er did not change his face, and Luo Cheng who was under the head was naturally unrecognizable, but Luo Cheng saw Luo Shixin standing behind Yang Er, especially when he saw the double hammer in his hand, but he still remembered it vividly. The first person to draw since he walked the rivers and lakes was this young player who made a double hammer.

"Master Luo, do you still know Yang Kuo? Hehe! Yang Er saw Luo Cheng staring at Luo Shixin behind him in a daze, and couldn't help but smile and say to Luo Cheng. At this point, there is no need to hide your identity. Luo Cheng is simple-minded, he belongs to the stage of learning from whom, if he influences him earlier, it will be very beneficial to his future growth.

"Huh? Your Royal Highness Chitose, you are Yang Kuo who beat Shan Xiongxin in Jia Jialou? Luo Cheng suddenly heard that the chief son said to himself that it was Yang Kuo, and he couldn't help but be shocked. It is difficult to equate the image of a businessman in his 30s with the image of a handsome young man in front of him.

"Huh! That day, I had to hide my true appearance in the rivers and lakes, and I hoped that Luo Gongzi would forgive me. Yang Er explained disapprenousively.

"If His Highness doesn't say it, this son will never guess. Hehe! Your Highness has made a good move! Luo Cheng said with some unhappiness.

"Huh! Luo Gongzi has something to say, and he wants to say it clearly. Seeing his expression, Yang Er knew that he had a misunderstanding of himself, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain, and plays the whole rivers and lakes and green forests between the palms of the bones, and plays a good chess hand!" Luo Cheng said with a sneer on his face.

"Huh! I never thought that Mr. Luo would be worried about this matter. As everyone knows, those who achieve great things are not informal! Besides, this king has no past with the people in the green forests and rivers, and there is no fault in doing my thing with his strength. It's only to blame that Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Shan Xiongxin and the like are too pedantic. Yang Er said with a smile, but deliberately did not say Qin Qiong's name in his words, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Luo Cheng saw that Yang Er told about Wagang so lightly, and he couldn't refute it for a while. Blame yourself for the narrow pattern of your own side, and you can't blame others for a poor move.

Seeing that Luo Cheng bowed his head and was silent, Yang Er was inconvenient to delve into this topic, so he raised his wine glass and said to Luo Yi and his wife, who were still confused: "The little nephew borrowed this glass of wine from my uncle to toast my uncle and aunt. After that, the first drink was to drink the wine in the glass, and Luo Yi and his wife also hurriedly raised their glasses and drank a glass with them, and the scene suddenly became relaxed.

Luo Yi and his wife are famous husband and wife in the Great Sui Dynasty, Qin Se and Ming, and the good reputation between husband and wife is second only to the current emperor and queen. Therefore, Mrs. Luo's Qin family also has a high status in the palace. At this time, I saw the Qin family put down the wine glass and said first: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a famous handsome son in the world, and today I can see that this is indeed the case." These two handsome women around me are His Royal Highness's wife? ”

"Aunt Domeng values it, this is the little nephew's unmarried wife Wang, and this is the little nephew's friend, and the road number is out of the dust." Yang Er said as he pointed to Wang Dai and Chuchen and introduced them to the Qin family. Wang Dai and Chuchen also gave junior salutes to the Qin family respectively.

"Huh! Miss Wang is really like a flower and jade, and she is very good-looking. The Qin family, like all the elders, looked at Wang Dai and said with a smile, but Wang Dai was already shy.

"I'm 14 years old, and I'm also at the age of marriage, but he knows how to use knives and guns at a sky-high price, and his mind is not here, alas!" The Qin family also ignored the look of her husband Luo Yi beside her who made her talk less, and just sighed.

"Mother, Cheng'er is still young, and she doesn't care about marriage." Luo Cheng saw that his mother was talking and led the topic to himself, and he was also embarrassed, so he hurriedly interjected.

When Qin saw that his son refuted her, he was about to talk about Luo Cheng again, Luo Yi hurriedly pulled down her cuffs and said: "Cheng'er is still young, and he is not in a hurry, not to mention that the eldest husband has no wife." Your Highness please! After stopping his nagging wife from talking, Luo Yi hurriedly raised his glass to Yang Er. Yang Er smiled and drank with Luo Yi.

"Auntie is so worried! Luo is a young man, and it is difficult for a hero in the world of martial arts to stand out. The little white dragon in the west under the crotch, the silver spear with the hook in the palm of his hand, the name of Qiao Luocheng is known all over the world, why is there no wife! Hehe! Yang Er just picked it up at this time, and the Qin family was even more brilliant.

"Well, it's better to take this opportunity for the little nephew to have something to ask for."

"Your Highness, please tell me something." Luo Yi said.

"The little nephew has a sister, who is twelve years old, called Princess Qionghua, and has not yet been married, so it is better to let the little nephew go and talk to the queen mother, and recruit Luo to become a concubine, I don't know what my uncle and aunt want?"

"Huh? This ---" Luo Yi didn't know how to answer when he heard this, and looked at his wife Qin Shi silently.

"Your Highness, this is very good! The old body has long heard that Princess Qionghua is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the pearl of the current emperor and queen. If it is for my son and wife, I am grateful for my old body! The Qin family didn't care about Luo Yi's thoughts, and was already as happy as they were. Climbing to the royal family is the best thing in the world, and only the daughter of the royal nobles in the world can match her son.

"Mother---" Luo Cheng was busy trying to stop his mother at this time, but he didn't know how to say it, so he hurriedly looked at his father Luo Yi, hoping that his father could stop him.

"Huh! If Princess Qionghua can become the daughter-in-law of my Luo family, it will also be a beautiful thing. It's just that I don't know the meaning of Your Majesty's Empress, I'm afraid that my Yanshan Luo family can't climb high! Luo Yi said with a smile, and at the same time, invited Yang Er to drink a glass of wine.

"If there are meritorious deeds and the imperial court, plus the Luo Cheng brothers have good appearance and martial arts, the little nephew thinks that there is no problem in this matter, and he will return to Beijing to see his father and queen mother in person." Yang Er raised his glass and drank another glass with Luo Yi and his wife, regardless of Luo Cheng's current expression. I thought to myself, as long as the parents of both sides agreed, there was no need for Luo Cheng's opinion. Besides, his sister Qionghua is also a very good match for this pretty Luocheng.

This wedding was mentioned in advance, and Luo Yi and his wife were also very happy, so they chatted about some local customs and things from surrounding countries, and the atmosphere of the banquet was also very good. During the banquet, Luo Yi even instructed the servants to arrange a separate table for Zhong Jian and Luo Shixin to eat and drink.

When the topic of the Turkic southern invasion of Sui was mentioned again, suddenly, Luo Cheng shouted as if he had thought of something: "Father, when Cheng'er went to the military camp to find Zhang Gongjin and other generals to practice guns in the afternoon, he saw that all the generals were preparing, and he seemed to have a move to go on an expedition. Asked him, he said that he would lead his troops to the Yinshan Pass to guard against the Turkic cavalry tomorrow, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"Just because of this matter, Brother Luo Xian still doesn't know, the 20,000 elites of Wu Yunzhao's army under this king are now about to go out from the Yinshan Pass, directly attack the nest of the Turkic Tooth Tent King City, and bluff to force it to withdraw the troops that invaded our Great Sui Wuyuan City in the south. General Zhang Gongjin led his troops to the Yinshan Pass to garrison in case the Turkic cavalry cut off our army's retreat. Yang Er explained to Luo Cheng with a smile.

As soon as Yang Er's words fell, he only heard the sound of "pop", and saw that Luo Cheng had already dropped the wine glass in his hand on the table, got up and said to his father Luo Yi and Yang Er: "Your Highness, father, mother, how can such a good thing be without Luo Cheng, Cheng'er is willing to accompany Zhang Gongjin and others on a journey, please ask my father for permission!" ”

"Cheng'er, this is a military matter, Zhang Gongjin and other generals are generals from the military, protecting the territory and defending the territory, and when employing people, they have others to do, you are a flat body, and you have no military position, what is the use of you? Sit down! Luo Yi saw that Luo Cheng was going to fight, and he couldn't help but show unhappiness and shouted loudly.

When Luo Cheng saw his father say this, although he was unwilling, he couldn't, so he had to sit down stupidly.

Seeing Luo Cheng like this, Yang Er was overjoyed in his heart, thinking to himself, if the king of Beiping sent his son to guard the Yinshan Pass fortress in person, wouldn't it be even more binding the Yanshan forces to himself, besides, Zhang Gongjin and other generals in the Yanshan army were lowly in ability, and they were probably not the opponents of the Turks, and it would be completely safe to replace Luo Cheng.

"Uncle Luo Shi, the little nephew thinks that Brother Luo Chengxian might as well go out to see the world at home, there is no risk in going to Yinshan Pass to defend the danger this time, but it can win some military achievements, if the Turkic army retreats north, Wuyuan City will be fine. Wouldn't it be better for the little nephew to return to Beijing and mention Luo Cheng's achievements in front of his father and queen mother? If you can kill a few Turkic generals, maybe you can also be a young marquis! Hehe! ”

Yang Er's words seemed to have reached Luo Yi's heart at once, making Luo Yi stop drinking, and couldn't stop thinking about it with his white beard slightly closed.

"Master, let Cheng'er go! If there is some credit, you and I will also have some brilliance on the face. Besides, that Zhang Gongjin and Wei Chi Nan are the master's confidants and favorite generals, and they act steadily, and Cheng'er can listen to his good words since he was a child, and it doesn't hurt! Luo Yi didn't speak, but the Qin family seemed to have figured it out, if he wanted his son to marry a princess, how could he be a mediocre person, he had to worship the body of the marquis, otherwise, how could the royal princess get married.

"Father, there is no risk for my son to go to Zhang Gongjin and other generals to maintain it. Besides, the spear in his hand has not yet been released, and he can take the blood sacrifice spear of the Turkic alien race. Luo Cheng saw that things seemed to change, and he also rekindled hope, so he asked Luo Yi again.

"Anyway, you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and one day you will go into battle to kill the enemy, I expect you to have the ability to add Zhang Gongjin, Wei Chi and other generals to assist, and it should be okay to defend a mountain pass fortress, go ahead! Remember, if you lose the mountain pass and let the Turkic cavalry cut off the way for General Wu Yunzhao to retreat, your father will not recognize you as a rebel! ”

"Although my father is relieved, Cheng'er also knows that the Shu Han Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, and he will defend the Yinshan Pass without losing it, and will return to General Wu Yunzhao." Luo Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his father agreed to his request. At the same time, he also hugged Yang Er and saluted and thanked Yang Er for helping him speak.

The whole banquet was full of joy because Luo Cheng was in a good mood, and all the ages were happy. Yang Er was drunk for three points, and when he saw that Luo Yi could no longer drink, he got up and thanked him and returned with his farewell.

"You stammer, double hammer makes good. Wake up early tomorrow, and go to the backyard to fight you and me, okay? Luo Cheng saw Yang Er walking by with all his entourage, and just saw Luo Shixin and the huge double hammer in his hand, he couldn't help but shout at Luo Shixin.

"Who--- who is --- stammer--- stammering? Tomorrow morning--- wait in the back garden and wait for Luo --- --- Luo Zi will ---. Hehe! I'm afraid --- I'm afraid you won't make it. Luo Shixin suddenly heard him say this, and he was also interested, responded with a laugh, and pointed at Luo Cheng, who was still drinking, with a single hammer in his hand. After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes and saw that Yang Er and the others had gone far, and hurriedly collected the hammer to catch up.

Let's talk about Wu Yunzhao's side. Since leading the troops to the battle, they have been speeding all the way to the northwest under the guidance of the guide Ling Jing. In less than half a day, they entered the territory of Yanshan Luoyi, and did not stop after passing several small towns along the way, and the town garrison and the people were also frightened by the arrival of this cavalry unit.

Two days later, I finally came to a big city, Pingcheng, and it was only 30% of the way here. The garrison of this flat city was 2,000, and when they saw the dust in the distance, the defenders knew that a large army was coming, and they hurriedly closed the city gate and waited for the arrival of this army.

When they got closer, the defenders saw the flag in the army and realized that it was their own people who had arrived. At this time, Wu Yun summoned his men and horses to run around for a day, and when he saw that the city gate was closed, he simply ordered the army to camp outside the city for a short rest, and then go again tomorrow morning. When the army had heard the general's order, they stopped their horses on the meadow two miles away from the city.

Wu Yunzhao took Ling Jing to the city gate and shouted to the city guards: "I am Wu Yunzhao, the general under the current King of Jin, and I am leading my troops to Yinshan to attack the Turks to relieve the danger of Wuyuan, and this matter has been informed to the King of Beiping." Today our army will be encamped outside the city, and tomorrow morning you can open the city gate and let our army pass, and there must be no mistake! ”

The guard general in the city is a partial general of the Yan army, and he has also heard of Wu Yunzhao's name, and now he sees that he is quite polite, and his mood is happy. The head of the city responded: "General Wu can stay outside the city tonight, and the general will open the city gate for the general at the end of tomorrow morning and let the general pass." Later, the last general arranged for men and horses to send food and water to the general's camp. ”

Wu Yunzhao listened to him and said that he was relieved. He took Ling Jing and the others back to the camp to rest.

The next day, after passing Pingcheng, we entered the Mangmang Mountains, and the mountain road became more and more difficult.

"Mr. Ling, the mountain road here is narrow, and there are too many soldiers and horses in our army and too congested, but there is another way to divide the troops?" Wu Yun summoned that the marching speed slowed down, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

"General, the most urgent thing here is to quickly seize the Yinshan Ural Pass, if it is occupied by the Turkic soldiers, our army will be passive, although there are other paths to bypass the mountain pass, it will also take time. Otherwise, the general and the subordinate led 5,000 men and horses to bring enough food for 5 days, and one person and one horse passed through the narrow place here first to grab the Ural Pass. The rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to General Laihu'er to lead and then catch up, and the difference between before and after was only 2 days. Ling Jing was also very anxious when he saw that the 20,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of empty horses carrying heavy loads were crowded on the path and could not move. Familiar with the terrain here, he was most anxious that he was afraid that the fortress of Yinshan Pass would be occupied by the Turks.
