"Hmmm! Xuan Zhen's intention is secretly in line with his father, and Yan Boxiu is mentioning the words of the Turks going south. ”

"My lord, the existing garrison of my Jinyang plus the troops withdrawn from Wenshui City has reached a total of 120,000, plus the high walls of the city are thick, and there is a lot of grain in stock, which is enough to hold on, so why do you need foreign troops to help?" General Liu Hongji said that his words were affirmed by many generals in this mansion.

"My lord, the last general is willing to guard Jinyang with General Liu." A member of the general's squad suddenly walked out and said.

"Good! Cheng Fan, you have reached the age of 18, you are already an adult, knowledge and martial arts are not weaker than others, you can make contributions at this time, this prince ordered you to be the deputy general of General Hongji, and guard Jinyang together. Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly praise himself when he saw that the person who spoke was not an outsider, but his cousin Li Daozong, who was also the best among the descendants of the Li family.

"Lord, the lower official got a report from the three northern counties, saying that the Yanmen Xue Wanchun Department poured out, and the troops attacked the three cities of Loufu, Mayi, and Yulin in three ways, and the original soldiers of these three cities were all transferred to the south of Jinyang, and there were only thousands of people left behind in the cities, I am afraid that these three cities will be lost!" Tang Jian, the squire of the military department, got up and said.

"Alas! This father has also known about this matter, and now Jinyang is in danger and can't take care of the three counties. Li Yuan said with a sigh.

"Lord, even if this is the case, Xinzhou in the north of Jinyang has to send troops and horses to garrison, this is the last barrier in the north of Jinyang, I can't lose it!"

"Lord, now the defenders of Xinzhou have reached 40,000, and they should be able to resist the attack of Xue Wanchun's troops, and the troops of Jinyang can no longer move." Liu Hongji said.

"Hmmm! Maoyu, at present, it should be important to ensure that Jinyang City is not lost, and it is not too late to discuss it if there is a war in Xinzhou. ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Sichang, Jinyang is in danger, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" After Li Yuan sent Tang Jian away, he turned his head to look at his son-in-law Chai Shao, who had been in a low mood.

A day ago, he put down his old face and relied on a letter to get Chai Shao back unscathed from the hands of the rebel general Xu Maogong, which made Li Yuan's resentment against Xu Maogong and others ease a lot. It's just that after Chai Shao came back, he was extremely depressed, and he was depressed all the time, and he rarely spoke.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks that Jinyang is going to be a big deal now! It is better to make peace and strike the war. ”

"Huh?" As soon as Chai Shao's words came out, everyone, including Li Yuan, was taken aback, and they couldn't believe that these words came from Chai Shao's mouth.

"Humph! Sichang, you were injured by Xu Shiji's house, you lost your vitality, and you lost your courage, my father doesn't blame you, I hope you will cheer up as soon as possible. Li Yuan was angry in his heart, but he couldn't attack it, so he had to use perfunctory words to avoid breaking the sharpness of the civil and military forces.

"Father-in-law---"

"Eh--- don't say more!"

Chai Shao saw that he didn't let himself speak, so he had to bury his head and stop talking, until the end of the government discussion and when he returned to his home, his eyes were still blank and depressed.

In fact, even if Tang Gong Li Yuan had no intention of asking the Turkic Sha Bo Luo Khan to send troops to help, at this time, Sha Bo Luo Khan had already decided on the strategy of sending troops to invade the south, but he was just looking for the best opportunity.

On this day, Shabalio Khan gathered his ministers to discuss the dispatch of troops, and it was evident that his strong advocacy for an invasion of the south had received the full support of his generals and tribal leaders.

"Great Khan, the time is ripe, and it is time to send troops." Dalit said, squinting.

"Military advisor, then Tang Gong Li Yuan has repeatedly rejected Ben Khan's kindness to send troops to help him, if he rashly sends troops, won't he annoy Li Yuan?"

"Huh! Great Khan, when Li Yuan had the advantage, he didn't need to be helped by the Great Khan, and when Li Yuan was weak, he didn't dare to ask the Great Khan to help. But how can my Turkic army miss this opportunity? The small one has been investigated clearly, the King of Jin has won the battle, and Li Yuan has been besieged and Jinyang City cannot move. Li Jing, the general under his command, took most of the soldiers and horses and were trapped in the Hetao Valley south of Wuyuan, unable to return to Jinyang. Li Yuan saw that he was about to be defeated and captured, and at this time it was the weakest time for Li Yuan in Jinyang, and the men and horses in the northern counties of Jinyang were all evacuated, and he had no intention of being wary of our Turkic army, so it was the best time to send troops to raid. ”

"Great Khan, although it is good to send troops at this time, as soon as Li Yuan is removed, my Turks will have to face Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Although Yang Guang did not claim to be the emperor, he already regarded himself as the monarch of the Sui Dynasty, and he was afraid that once my Turks invaded the south, he would have to start a full-scale war with the Sui Dynasty. Prime Minister Ordabash interjected with some concern.

"Huh! I Turkic currently has hundreds of thousands of elite warriors, how could I ever be afraid of the Sui Dynasty? Such an opportunity should not be missed. ”

"Father Khan, the child is willing to lead the Eagle Division to attack Jinyang, take advantage of the weakness to capture its three northern counties, and the soldiers will point directly to Jinyang City." The chief general of the Eagle Division, Prince Jieli stepped forward and asked for his life.

"Good! I have a tiger and I am not afraid of Yang Guang, and three days later, the whole army of the Eagle Division was dispatched as the vanguard to attack Jinyang. The Tiger Division of Takhan followed suit, with a total of 130,000 men and horses in the two divisions, and all occupied the land of Li Yuan in Jinyang before the end of autumn and winter. ”

"Yes, Father Khan." Jieli responded excitedly.

"The last will obey." Tiger Division General Takhan replied.

The Turkic army suddenly joined the war group, which made the northern part of the Great Sui even more chaotic. The war also evolved from a civil war to a major war against foreign invasion.

This was something that neither the Tang nor the Jin side in the civil war had ever expected, and it was even more unexpected by Yang Er, who originally had to place the showdown with the Turks after the unification of Nanchen.

Li Jing's army, which had crossed the river, was speeding eastward.

At this time, Li Jing was anxious, he knew that at this time, the Jin army in Hedong must be besieging Jinyang, and maybe even under the city of Jinyang. I hope that the lord can hold on until his army comes back to help, Li Jing said in his heart more than once.

"Marshal, it's getting late, can you make the soldiers camp on the spot? After traveling 120 miles that day, the soldiers were too tired. Yin Kaishan ran back from the front and asked in front of Li Jingma.

"General Yin, how far is this place from Yulin City?"

"Dashuai, this place is less than two days away from Yulin."

"Good! The whole army was ordered to camp on the spot, get up early tomorrow, and hurry while the weather was cold. Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Yulin City was not far away.

"Yes, sir. The whole army camped on the spot and buried the pot to cook. Yin Kaishan ran forward on horseback, and shouted loudly in front of the team. Then the procession came to a slow halt, and from time to time a soldier collapsed to the ground. The whole procession was extremely disorganized by the rapid march.

At night, Li Jingzheng and his deputy general Duan Zhixian were discussing in the tent. They carefully planned the route back to Jinyang City on the map.

"If everything goes well, you can arrive at Yulin City in the morning after tomorrow, from Yulin City to the southeast less than 200 miles and arrive at Mayi City, to Mayi is not far from Jinyang City, I don't know what is the situation in Jinyang now? General Duan, when will the detective colonel you sent out return? In the dim candlelight, Li Jing held the candle lamp and asked Duan Zhixian on the side while looking at the map.

"Dashuai, the brother who went to inquire about the news of Yulin City will be able to report tonight, and the brother who went to Mayi will not be able to return in two days at the earliest."

"Report ~ Marshal, the waiter who went to Yulin City to inquire about the news is back." At this time, a Chinese soldier entered the account to report to the two people.

"Huh! really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, hurry up and pass him in. ”

After the lieutenant of the middle military academy answered, he turned around and walked out of the military tent. Immediately, a thin man with a haggard face, ordinary appearance, and extreme embarrassment was brought in from outside the account.

"Report to the marshal, General Duan, the --- of Yulin City ahead" As soon as the word Yulin City was mentioned, the thin man choked up and cried, and couldn't help wiping his tears with his dirty sleeves.

Seeing this, Li Jing suddenly felt bad, put down the candle lamp in his hand, walked to the down-and-out man in a few steps, and asked urgently: "How is Yulin?" Speak quickly! ”

"Marshal, Yulin City has been led by 30,000 soldiers and horses under the general of the Jin army Xue Wanchun, Shang Shifu and apprentices, and it was attacked yesterday, and only 3,000 people and horses of our army are stationed in the city, and it can't be held at all like an empty city."

"Huh?" Li Jing's face turned pale when he heard this, he opened his mouth and looked at Duan Zhixian suddenly.

"Could it be that Xue Wanchun is out of Yanmen? Why didn't the lord send an army to intercept it? Duan Zhixian was also stunned by this news, and asked without words.

"General, the villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know!"

"Alright, go down and rest!" Li Jing slowly sobered up from the initial shock, and said helplessly to the detective colonel.

"General Duan, it seems that the march route will be changed tomorrow, his 30,000 horses will guard Yulin City, our army will not be able to break through the city in a short time, so we have to bypass Yulin City again. It's just that this will be delayed for at least another 3 days, alas! ”

"Marshal, if you go around, where should you go from?"

"Tomorrow sneaking through the north of Yulin City, going to Dingxiang City behind its side, if Dingxiang is also occupied by the Jin army, our army will find a way between Yulin and Dingxiang to intersperse the past, and go straight to Mayi City. In short, if you can avoid the Jin army, you will avoid it, and strive to return to Jinyang City as soon as possible. Li Jing pointed to the map on the table and whispered.

"Hmmm! Just act according to the words of the marshal, and the last general will go to inform General Yin Kaishan. With that, Duan Zhixian turned around and went out of the account to Yin Kaishan's tent.

At this time, Yin Kaishan was drinking in the tent with his two lieutenants, and it seemed that he was already a little drunk, and his mouth was even more unrestrained, and he said nonsense with the strength of the wine: "Xiao'er Li Jing's march is unorganized, let me and others go around so far, and also lost a lot of brothers in the desert, I knew that why not directly cross the river to attack the three cities of western Jin, maybe we have already captured western Jinxi and drank in Pingyi City." ”

"What General Yin said is that Xu Maogong, Shan Xiongxin and others in the three cities of western Jin are all friendly with the two of us, and it is really easy for my two brothers to go into the city to find the second brother Shan to return to Jinyang by the way, why go through this experience, suffer so much, come, General Yin is toasting you." Adjutant General Han Chengbao said.

"Two brothers, don't talk about it at this point, let's rest after this drink! I'll have to go early tomorrow morning. Ding Tianhu saw that the two of them were already drunk, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Humph! It's so bold, it's a violation of military law to drink indiscriminately in the army, and you dare to talk about the commander without permission, are you waiting for all your life? Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and Duan Zhixian walked in.

When he first heard it, Yin Kaishan and the other three were really startled, and when they looked at the person who entered the account, Yin Kaishan put his mind at ease, hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Who dares to roar in my account, it turns out to be General Duan!" Please take a seat and have a few drinks with your brothers. ”

"Humph! General Yin, you and I are both confidants and generals under Tang Gong, and since Tang Gong has selected Sanyuan Li Jing as the commander, we will obey orders, so why should we go against him everywhere? Let people gossip. Duan Zhixian said after sitting down.

"General Duan, you and I have been following Tang Gong for no less than 10 years, so how long has Li Jing been here? He took the road of firewood and horses and became the commander of this march, and I could not be convinced. ”

"Now Duan Mou is not arguing with you, he will clean up quickly, and don't let the boss know that you are drinking in the army."

"Come on! Remove the banquet and set aside the tea. Yin Kaishan didn't dare to disobey Duan Zhixian's words anymore, so he had to order his subordinates to withdraw the banquet.

"General Yin, I won't go to Yulin City tomorrow, Yulin City has been occupied by the Jin army's master and apprentice, and I need to detour to the north of Yulin City again tomorrow, Duan is here to inform you and wait for you to know."

"Huh? Did the Jin army hit Yulin City? Yin Kaishan looked at his two lieutenants with a look of disbelief.

"Tomorrow, we will bypass Yulin and go to Dingxiang City, and we will go straight to Mayi from Dingxiang to the south, and we will not be far from Jinyang City when we arrive at Mayi. Rest quickly! Tomorrow you will have to travel at least 200 miles. After speaking, Duan Zhixian got up and ignored Yin Kaishan and the other three, and walked straight away.

As soon as the morning dawned, in order to avoid the sun, Yin Kaishan set off with 30,000 cavalry from his headquarters, and the order he received was to bypass Yulin City from the dense forest in the north of Yulin City and go straight to Dingxiang City behind it, and to find out whether there was a Jin army in Dingxiang City. This trip is more than 200 miles, and Yin Kaishan is not happy when he thinks about this long trip. But last night, after receiving Duan Zhixian's teachings, he had to suppress the unhappiness in his chest and leave sullenly.

To Li Jing's surprise, there was no Jin army in Dingxiang City, and the city was still under the jurisdiction of Jinyang officials. The sudden appearance of Li Jing's army really surprised Dou Fuyin of Dingxiang County.

"Li Dashuai, this government only knows that your army went to the Hetao, why is it now in my Dingxiang, isn't it the opposite direction?" Dou Mansion Yin greeted Li Jing in the mansion and asked.

"Lord Fu Yin doesn't know, now the Jin army is attacking my Jinyang in an all-out way, and the road for Ben Shuai to return to Jinyang City has been blocked by treacherous people, so Ben Shuai has to make a detour and return to Jinyang City."

"Ahh Da Shuai's sentence detoured a lot! Why don't you go south to Jinyang via Yulin? But I have to go north to Dingxiang. ”

"Don't you know that Yulin City has been occupied by the Jin army? Ben Shuai also had to make this decision, and once again detoured Dingxiang in order to find a way back. ”

"Yulin City is lost? I really don't know. Since the war with Hedong County, I have long since lost business travel in Dingxiang, and the surrounding areas are all Turkic territories, and the people dare not go far away, so the news is extremely closed. But ---"

"But what? If you have something to say, please speak. Li Jing saw that Dou Fu Yin's face gradually became ugly as he spoke, so he asked.

"However, although there is no news from the south here in this mansion, I have discovered an important military report from the Turkic side of the north."

"Oh? Is it impossible for the Turks to raise troops to invade Jinyang in the south? Li Jing listened to Dou Fu Yin's words and asked in shock.

"Exactly, if the marshal doesn't come, the government should also report the Turkic military situation to Jinyang, isn't it just right that the marshal and rash army are here? I heard that the Turkic Shabalu Khan had ordered his son Jieli to lead 130,000 Turkic cavalry south, and he would arrive at my Dingxiang city in three days at the latest. My Dingxiang was originally the Turks took the initiative to give me Jinyang, there are many Turks in the city, but there are few soldiers and horses available, if the Turkic soldiers arrive, the lower officials have to abandon the city and go south. ”

"Huh?" Li Jing didn't listen, and he froze on the spot when he heard this.
