Dou Fu Yin's words were enough to make Li Jing and the others petrified on the spot.

The siege of Jinyang has not yet been solved, and he traveled a long distance to Dingxiang City, but he coincidentally caught up with the southern invasion of the Turkic army, and there was almost no Tang army in Dingxiang City, and his army seemed to be coming to resist the Turkic cavalry. Should he continue to return to Jinyang to rescue the lord Li Yuan, or should he go on the defensive on the spot to block the Turkic invasion of the south? This exam question is placed in front of Li Jing's eyes, and it is impossible to avoid it, and it is really difficult to make a choice!

With suspicion, Li Jing said goodbye to Dou Fuyin and returned to his camp, and urgently summoned the generals in the army to discuss the matter.

The situation has become clear, and the generals in the account have suddenly formed two factions of opinions, each with its own reasoning, and there is no dispute.

Led by Li Jing, he advocated immediately turning to preparations for the southern invasion of the Turks in Dingxiangcheng, resolutely defeating the Turks first, and returning to rescue Jinyang after the righteousness of the whole nation;

Led by Duan Zhixian, he advocated taking advantage of the fact that the Turks had not yet arrived, immediately abandoning Dingxiang and going south to aid Jinyang, and then defending against the Turkic attack after relieving the siege of Jinyang.

Neither could convince the other.

Although this section of Zhixian is Li Jing's deputy general, he is ostensibly controlled by Li Jing, but his real identity is still the supervisor sent by Li Yuan to the army, monitoring Li Jing's every move, and the authority in his hands is no less than Li Jing, and Li Jing does not dare to use force against him. The two sides disagreed, and at this time, the general Yin Kaishan's power in the army became the dominant force.

The two sides of the dispute broke up unhappily, and Yin Kaishan led the deputy generals Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu back to their tents. He knew that his attitude would determine the fate of Li Jing's 150,000 Tang troops, and it was also related to his own fate.

"Lao Han, Lao Ding, you two have followed for the longest time, although I am usually the master and your deputy, but in private I am like brothers. I wanted to listen to Duan Zhixian's wishes and advocate going south to solve the danger of Jinyang, but I couldn't bear to let the Turks go south to invade our Han land and kill our Han people. Ask the two brothers to explain one or two for a certain one. Yin Kaishan couldn't make up his mind about this at this time, so he asked Han and Ding.

"General, do you remember last year when my three brothers followed the general to the desert to intercept Wu Yunzhao?" Han Chengbao reminded.

"How not to remember? Your senior brother Sheng Yan was also picked and killed by Luo Cheng. ”

"Ah! Not to mention the death of my eldest brother Sheng Yanshi, he also has a notorious reputation for colluding with Turkic Tartars in the rivers and lakes. Brother Sheng was originally a well-known good man in the green forest road of the Central Plains, and he was infamous and could not be blind even if he died. At that point, I was wrong. Now that the Turks are attacking our Great Sui in the south, it is when we are waiting for our name to be corrected, how can we escape from the battle? ”

"Then the Lord of Jinyang is in trouble, should I just ignore it? What if the Lord holds us accountable? Yin Kaishan asked again, as Li Yuan's henchman general, this is what makes him most entangled.

"General, last year, Wu Yunzhao was ordered by the King of Jin to go out of Yin Mountain to attack the Turkic tent, which made Wu Yunzhao famous in my Great Sui and won the reputation of a winning champion, which made the brothers so envious."

"Alas! Old Han, don't talk about anything else, quickly talk about your thoughts and listen to them, don't twist and turn. ”

"General, the younger brother is saying that the king of Jin, Chitose, hates the Turkic barbarians the most, if he hears the southern invasion of the Turkic cavalry, he will definitely talk to the lord and strike the army, why do you need me to come back?"

"Old Han, are you saying that King Chitose of Jin will send troops to attack the Turks, like last year?"

"Huh! It must be like that. If we abandon Dingxiang and return to Jinyang, we will be responsible for losing our land and will be spurned. If the general did not want to blame the king of Jin, he should join forces with Li Jing to defend against the Turks. That Sanyuan Li Jing still has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, although he is young, he is very good at using soldiers, he is not afraid of the Turks, and it is said that he also has a set of tactics to deal with the Turkic cavalry. ”

"Hmmm! What Brother Han said was extremely true, because his brother almost got on Duan Zhixian's thief ship. Anyway, the two of you will go with a certain person to see Li Jing and explain our intentions. Walk! ”

"Brother, please!"

Yin Kaishan led Han and Ding Er to enter Li Jing's Chinese army tent again.

"General Yin, what are the three of you doing?" Li Jing couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the three had gone and returned and broke into the tent, and hurriedly asked.

"Dashuai, the three of us are willing to fight with the Turkic Tatars with Dashuai to protect my territory of the Great Sui." Yin Kaishan and the three of them said to Li Jing together.

"Good! With the support of General Yin and other generals, Jing will have the backbone. And please return the account and wait for the order to send troops. Ben Shuai has gone to the book to General Xue Wanchun of the Jin Army in Mayi City, and asked him and I to release our previous suspicions and jointly resist foreign invasions when we are facing foreign enemies. Ma Yi is not far from here, presumably there will be a reply tomorrow, and then the commander will decide to break the Turks. ”

"The last will obey. But there are sends, and the last general will do everything. Yin Kaishan and the three of them bowed their hands again, and then turned around and straightened their chests.

"General Yin, you are ---" As soon as the account came out, he met Duan Zhixian head-on.

"Humph! How can a certain Han general ignore the invasion of the Turkic Tatars? Yin Kaishan scolded Duan Zhixian angrily, and Duan Zhixian was confused for a while, stunned on the spot, and watched Yin Kaishan and the three of them stride away.

"Dashuai, have you ever decided when to abandon Dingxiang and return to Jinyang?" Duan Zhixian raised the curtain and asked Li Jing, who was studying the map.

"If General Duan wants to go back to Jinyang, just leave, and if he wants to go with the general, just take it away. Ben Shuai has agreed with General Yin Kaishan to resist the southern invasion of the Turks in Dingxiang, and to guard the northern gate for Jinyang and the Great Sui. Li Jing said without raising his head.

"Huh? Do you want to put the Lord in danger and not save him? The lord treats you well, why is it so unjust? Duan Zhixian asked incomprehensibly.

"The general is bad! After all, the dispute between the Tang and Jin dynasties was a factional dispute within the Great Sui, and it existed in all dynasties. And the Turks are barbarians, not our race, how can they ignore them and arbitrarily trample on the territory of our country, and our soldiers should stop the civil war, share the same hatred of the enemy, and resist foreign humiliation. Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has long understood that at this time when the country is in danger, he will definitely order to stop attacking Jinyang and make a truce with our lord. General Duan doesn't need to worry about Jinyang, the lord is absolutely worry-free! Li Jing looked at Duan Zhixian and said awe-inspiringly.

"Humph! The handsome man is really wishful thinking! Yang Guangxian is eager to use the Turkic sword to eliminate dissidents, and he wishes that my 150,000 troops would go to fight the Turks. At that time, my Jinyang vitality was greatly damaged, and I was no longer able to compete with it. How can I join forces with my Jinyang to fight the enemy? The poor lord was attacked by two strong enemies. Duan Zhixian still couldn't accept Li Jing's words, and asked rhetorically.

Just when the two of them couldn't argue in the tent and no one could convince anyone, the Chinese army outside the account reported: "Marshal, Xue Wanchun, the chief general of the Yanmen of the Jin camp, has arrived outside the city, saying that he came at the request of the marshal, can he be let into the city?" ”

"Okay~ Li Jing, do you want to follow Xu Mao's referendum against the enemy?" Duan Zhixian listened to the report of the junior colonel of the Chinese army, and couldn't help but be shocked, and pointed at Li Jing with a hideous face and scolded.

"General Duan, don't panic, Jing is not defecting to the enemy, but going to invite Xue Wanchun to come here to discuss the strategy of retreating from the Turks. Do you want to make the Turkic Shabalyu Khan laugh at us and the rest of the country when we are about to lose the country, and still fight each other in internal strife? ”

"You ---" Duan Zhixian was speechless for a while.

"Order to open the city gate and pick up General Xue Wanchun to meet at the Shuaifu."

"Yes, Marshal." The junior colonel of the Chinese army responded, turned around and didn't forget to glance at Duan Zhixian, who was still stunned on the spot, when he turned around and left the big tent.

"General Duan might as well go with Jing to greet General Xue Wanchun, and when the marshal finishes talking with him, how about you make another judgment?" Li Jing walked up to Duan Zhixian and whispered a suggestion.

"Go and go, if his Jin army can stop attacking Jinyang and coerce the lord, he will believe you."

When Li Jing heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he no longer paid attention to Duan Zhixian but raised his feet and walked out of the account.

In the military tent, Tang and Jin sat on one side. Sitting on the side of the Tang army were three people with Li Jing as the main general and Duan Zhixian and Yin Kaishan as the deputy generals; The three Jin army generals sitting on the opposite side of the guest seat are all majestic and extraordinary.

"General Xue, these two generals are ---" Li Jing only recognized Xue Wanchun, but the other two were face-to-face, and couldn't help asking.

"Huh! General Li Jing, this is a certain adjutant general, the former Tongguan general, General Xin Wenli. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the new general of the famous eight horses of my dynasty, and I have heard the name for a long time, and I have lost my respect. Li Jing got up and bowed to Xin Wenli, his face was full of surprise, it turned out that this general had abandoned Yang Lin and joined the army of Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

"This is also a famous general, a well-known man in Shandong and Hebei, whose surname is Qin Mingqiong, and the word is Shubao." Xue Wanchun turned his head and introduced another general beside him.

"Huh? This person is the famous "Saizhuanzhu" Qin Shubao on the rivers and lakes? Fortunately, I will be glad to have it. Hearing that this person was Qin Qiong, not only Li Jing but even Yin Kaishan beside him also got up and bowed.

Qin Qiong was originally in Zhuozhou, why is she now a deputy general under Xue Wanchun, the chief general of Yanmen?

It turned out that a few days ago, Yang Guang, the king of Jin in Luoyang's palace, asked Wang Yi of the Qianhu of Zhuo County to bring back a letter to Luo Yi, the marquis of Jingbian, in which he mentioned the requisition of Qin Qiong as the deputy general of Yanmen. At first, Luo Yi was reluctant, but when he thought that his son had been given to the King of Jin and had made many military exploits in the army of the King of Jin, it was only a matter of time before he became a marquis, which made both his husband and wife have a bright face. Both parents and children were sent, so why care more about a nephew. In addition, Qin's mother also intended to let Qin Qiong follow Luo Cheng's example to make contributions in front of the army and glorify the lintel, so not only did not block it, but strongly agreed. Although Qin Qiong felt a little twisted in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey her mother, and her two iron brothers Fan Hu and Lian Ming were also willing to go with her, so she agreed to her uncle Luo Yi's request, and took the 500 relatives selected by Luo Yi from the personal guards, accompanied by Fan Hu and Lian Ming, and went out of Zhuo County through Taihang Jinding City to join Xue Wanchun's army.

Xue Wanchun knew Qin Qiong and the three of them, and when he saw that the three of them were here with a letter of recommendation from Jingbian Hou Luo Yi, he knew that it was his own lord who was operating behind him, and he couldn't help but be happy.

When he easily took Lou Fu City, it was Qin Qiong who took the lead. What made Qin Qiong even happier was that on the day he took Lou Fu City, he got the news that his partners on the rivers and lakes, Xu Maogong, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Bodang had all been under the command of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and the twisting power that had always existed in his heart was gone. The knot in his heart has been resolved, which makes Qin Qiong even more determined to compete with his cousin Luo Cheng in the Jin Dynasty's army. Hearing that the main general Xue Wanchun said that he would end the civil war with Li Jing, the commander of the Tang Army, and defend against the Turks externally, Qin Qiong was extremely excited. When his cousin Luo Cheng was in the first battle against the Turks, he picked 6 generals in a row and created a name, but he didn't want to usher in a battle that also faced the foreign enemy Turks as soon as he joined the Jin army. This battle must be better than that of her cousin Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong held back her strength in her heart, and kept thinking like this.

A meeting was underway in Li Jing's military tent to unite against the Turks. Duan Zhixian didn't say much but listened carefully on the side, he originally wanted to grasp a trace of Li Jing's surrender, but as the meeting progressed, it made him feel that Li Jingyuan was a frank-minded person, and there was no disrespect for the lord Li Yuan in his words, but he was considering the interests of the Tang Army everywhere, which also made Duan Zhixian's mood gradually improve, and he could also insert a sentence or two of his own suggestions from time to time.

In short, this military meeting between the Tang and Jin factions was gratifying. Xue Wanchun, on behalf of the lord Yang Guang of Jin, expressed his unanimous attitude towards the outside world by stopping the civil war, and was willing to hand over the command of the two armies to Li Jing and accept Li Jing's command in the foreign war, which was particularly gratifying to Duan Zhixian, who represented the interests of Li Yuan's faction.

That night, Duan Zhixian, who was in a happy mood, represented Jinyang as the east, and invited Xue Wanche and his party to a banquet in the tent. There are many acquaintances during the banquet, although they are now their own masters, but they have temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions and become comrades-in-arms, especially that Qin Qiong, Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu were originally brothers with different surnames who had worshipped, and they had no mustard, so both sides drank very happily.

On the second day, Xue Wanchun and other generals did not leave, but were invited by Li Jing to participate in a pre-war meeting to jointly study the strategy of retreating from the enemy. Li Jing showed his tactical talent at the meeting, which made Xue Wanchun, Qin Qiong and Xin Wenli admire, and secretly praised Tang Gong Li Yuan for his ability to know people.

"Ben Shuai plans to divide the men and horses into two parts, one by Ben Shuai to hold Dingxiang City, and the other by General Yin Kaishan to the east of Yanqiu Mountain to garrison, in case the Turkic cavalry bypasses Dingxiang from under Yanqiu Mountain. This commander will put the decisive battlefield here---" As he spoke, Li Jing drew a big circle on the map, pointing to Dingxiang City and Yanqiu Mountain.

"Hmmm! General Li is right, Dingxiang City is lonely and surrounded by grasslands, which is conducive to the battle of the Turkic cavalry, and it is the method to break the cavalry by relying on the city wall to hold on. At the same time, it also echoes the Yanqiu Mountain, which can contain the Turks in these two places, making it impossible for them to divide their troops to the south. Blocking the Turkic cavalry in both places with geographical advantages can also greatly reduce the advantage of its cavalry, which is conducive to our army blocking on the spot, and Xue thought it was the best policy. ”

"Huh! This battle is dominated by my Jinyang Tang Army, supplemented by the Jin Army, what does General Xue think? When it came to the critical point, Li Jing asked. There is a huge difference between the two armies, and the credit for winning is easily counted on the main side, and the auxiliary combat is a green leaf and a foil. If you lose, the responsibility can easily be shifted to the side that assists the operation, and it is not easy to argue.

Xue Wanchun looked at Qin Qiong and the second general Xin Wenli, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Yesterday, it was determined that General Li was the main commander of this war, so why bother to divide the priorities again, I will wait to obey the orders to fight." Xue Wanchun said briskly. Of course, Xue Wanchun did not make his own assertions, but followed the instructions of Pei Shiju in Luzhou, and the six-character mantra of "Outside must first be inside" is the framework set by the lord Yang Guang for Pei Shiju, defeating the Turkic Tatars is the top priority, and other interests can be temporarily abandoned.
