How did this huge city fall to the point of not caring about it?

And Hou Mi only learned that as early as when the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were fighting, the Lingwu frontier area was often harassed by the Turks, the fields were barren and the cities were dilapidated, and this is why the first thing Yuwen Yong did after destroying the Northern Qi was to go north to deal with the Turks, otherwise the Turks would appear under the city of Chang'an.

After the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court did not care about the affairs of the north, especially when Li Xinchen took the northwest, which made Yang Jian have no interest in the north, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty only firmly guarded the northwest corner of Pinggao County and Xiaoguan, and paid more attention to the area north of Chang'an.

So although it is ridiculous, the Lingwu County in front of Hou Mi's eyes has indeed become a borderless land. Even the Turks didn't care about this place after they plundered Ding Zhuang here as slaves, for them there is really no availability for these old and young, maybe they will not come to raid again after seven or eight years when the young people here grow up again.

But the fact that the Turks did not enter the city does not mean that they did not appear, according to the people here, there is a group of Turkic cavalry that passed through the north of the city just three days ago, and its whereabouts are unknown. Because the Turks did not come in, the people did not know how many of them there were, and whether there was a follow-up.

It is not difficult to understand that the Turks are accustomed to life in the steppe, but they do not have a sense of security in the city, so they will not easily enter the city unless they want to enter the city to plunder. This point is still more applicable to the northern grassland peoples,At the beginning, in order to comply with the sinicization,First built a Shengle city on the grassland,Then moved the capital to Pingcheng,Finally, to Luoyang,This step by step is very careful and very cautious,That is, in the end, Emperor Xiaowen really can't wait to be regarded as even coaxing and deceiving people to stay in Luoyang,Completed the Sinicization process of the Xianbei nation。

After taking a bite of the dry cake, Hou Mi poured two mouthfuls of water hard, and swallowed the dry cake with difficulty. As a native of Jiangnan, Hou Mi is of course not used to this way of eating, but he knows better that only when he has a full stomach can he compete with the Turks.

The current Hou family is no longer the original Hou family, after the death of his father, the Hou family almost collapsed, and finally let himself seize the opportunity to take the Hou family out again, and now he is a miscellaneous general, the general of the left division of the Western Army, and his younger brother Hou Jia has received the position of assassin history, it can be said that the Hou family not only emerged in the army again, but also finally had a place among the civilian officials.

The younger brother's efforts made Hou Mi feel the pressure, and he, as an elder brother, couldn't fall behind his younger brother in anything. Therefore, Hou Mi took the initiative to come to this key golden city, and personally led the cavalry north, just to find out the movements of the Turks.

Now the most important thing for the Han to know is whether the Turks will come, and how many will come.

"General, if the Turks were just passing by, they wouldn't be able to say it," the cavalry lieutenant whispered.

The number of cavalry is only 500 people, but after all, it is the only "strategic strike" force in Hou Mi's army, so it should have been a battle formation, but it was directly led by a captain. Of course, this also means that in the future, these 500 people will definitely have to be expanded.

"Yes," said the master next to him, as he ate, slurring his words, "it must not be for migration." ”

Hou Mi stretched out his hand and drew a simple map on the ground: "You see, the west side of Lingwu here is the big river, and the big river is also a desert, and the Turks should not have the consciousness to run into the desert to eat sand in the winter, and they will not go to trouble the Zhou people at this time, so it is very likely that they are here to investigate the situation here, and it should also come from the Hetao in the east and northeast, and the purpose is clear, ready to go south at any time." ”

The master book and the captain glanced at each other in surprise, so they should have guessed right?

The purpose of the Turks was to go south along the Great River and go straight to Jincheng County?

"In any case, we must find this Turkic cavalry," Hou Mi said decisively, "what they want to do, we can only find out by asking." ”

The lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper suddenly stood up: "General, please give an order!" ”

Most of these cavalrymen are men from the northwest, the northwest has been barren for many years, and they are inseparable from the Turks. For such a long time, they could only migrate all the way south, avoiding the sharp edge of the Turks, and it was obvious that they finally had the opportunity to compete with the Turks, and of course they could not miss it.

"There are too few of us, so it will definitely not work to rush over directly," Hou Mi said in a deep voice, "Send scouts first, let me find out all the situations within twenty miles to the north, and at the same time hurry up and report the matter here to the general!" ”

"No!"

And Hou Mi was not in the mood to eat at this time, so he put away the dry food casually, looked at the simple topographic map on the ground, and thought thoughtfully. The Turks have been rampant in Saibei for so many years, and naturally they have their basis, Hou Mi will not be stupid and run into it, he remembers what his father once taught him.

The more we get to this critical juncture where the enemy is outnumbered, the more we can't mess up.

Of these five hundred people, the value of each person must be used to the extreme.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Pinggao County, the old general Yu Yi looked at the battle report on the table and couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Jian took Wei Xiaokuan as the main commander and He Ruobi as the deputy commander to go north to Yinzhou, and he and Gao Xi went north to Yanzhou (now Yan'an) to sit in the town, opening a big posture. As for Yu Yi, after Li Xinchen made it clear that the two sides were in peace, they also returned from the northeast of Qishan and sat in Pinggao County, which is located on the north side of Anding, adjacent to Xiaoguan, and is now the only place where Guanzhong can occupy an advantage in the northwest in the face of higher terrain, Yang Jian put Yu Yi's father and son in Pinggao County, which is naturally to prevent Li Xinchen from attacking his flank from the northwest, after all, Yanzhou, Yinzhou, and then to Hetao further north, the long marching road is under the attack range of the northwest, so it is still necessary to leave a hand.

Although Li Xinchen's reputation is good, but in such a fatal time, everyone has to take precautions.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Yu Xi had just come back from inspecting the city, and it was a little strange to see his father brushing his beard.

Handing the battle report to his son, Yu Yi said with a smile: "This was originally a tense situation, but it turned upside down in just a few days. I'm afraid the Turks are also complaining. ”

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it secretly agreed that we will send troops with Yu Wenxian?" ”

"Now Li Xinchen and Tuyuhun are also involved." Yu Yi nodded at the battle report, "The northwest is really lively this time." ”
