After half a month of hurrying, entering the early autumn season, Emperor Yang of Sui came to Yanmen County with a large army, which is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is steep, the mountains are undulating, the peaks are uneven, the road is winding, and there is no straight road of Pingchuan.

Yanmen County City is high in the meantime, close to the mountain and dangerous, the city wall is high and thick, there is a female wall on the main wall, the female wall is built with brick buttresses again, the battlement between the brick buttresses is the lookout hole and the shooting port of the soldiers guarding the city, there are also majestic city towers, corner towers, watchtowers on the city wall, stand at a distance apart.

The building on the top of the building is a typical ancient heavy eaves nine ridges rest mountain style, there are corridor pillars around outside, and the horse road is under the road, because Yanmen County is in the border garrison land, so the city is built extraordinarily majestic.

This is the seat of a county, the main city of the county guard, the general guard, and the local officials to govern the civil administration.

The army of 1670,000 led by Yang Guang was divided into five armies: front, rear, left, center, and right, led by Yang Hui and stationed in Laoxian, and the front army was led by Tu Wanxu and stationed in Yanmen Pass, and the Chinese army of 30,000 entered Fenyang City, and the left and right armies of 25,000 people were stationed outside the city, led by Laihuer and Pei Renji.

As the old saying goes: There are nine stops in the world, Yanmen is the head, Yanmen is the world, and the Central Plains is lost if Yanmen is lost.

This Yanmen Pass is in the north of the Yanbei Plateau, the south Ping Xinding Basin, just on the back of the mountain, there is a continuous Great Wall, the outside strengthens the same domain guard, the lock and key of Taiyuan is solidified, the root reaches the three passes, the throat is all Jin, it is a military fortress is quite important.

Yanmen County Shou Lu Qianhe, Yanmen Guantun Guard General Yun Dingxing, heard that His Majesty came to the north tour, was very surprised, with the military generals, bowed to the Holy Lord, as far as the landlord and the courtiers should be.

Yang Guang saw Xiongguan Dachuan, and the depressed anger of Liaodong in his heart finally dispersed a lot, and on a whim, he also personally climbed Yanmen Pass.

Xiongguan is composed of three parts: Guancheng, Wengcheng and Siege. The city wall of Guancheng is ten meters high, the circumference is about two miles, the wall body is based on the stone seat, the rammed earth is filled inside, the brick body is covered, and there are battlements on the wall. There are two gates of east and west in Yanmen Gate, all of which are stacked with huge bricks, pass through the wild goose through the clouds, the magnanimity is high, and the door forehead is carved and embedded with two plaques of "natural risk" and "geographical advantage" respectively.

Standing on the Xiongguan Pass, raising your eyes, you can see the grassland outside the pass, the blue sky, which is the territory of the Turkic nomads.

At the beginning of the split between the Eastern and Western Turks, the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan annexed to the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of Sui granted permission to cede the Hetao Plain and the grasslands on the periphery of Mayi to the Turks to herd horses and migrate, and was protected by the imperial court at any time to avoid being attacked by the Western Turks.

But more than ten years later, the eastern Turks after recuperation, multiply the population, horses, iron horses, armor, food, etc. more and more abundant, after the death of the Qimin Khan in the fifth year of the Great Cause, Shibi Khan Li, he did not respect and be friendly to the Great Sui as his father, the diplomat Pei Ju once used a plan, intended to separate the Shibi Khan and the royal brother Qi Jishe, but did not succeed, so that the Shibi Khan held a grudge and began to deviate from the Great Sui.

Three years ago, Pei Ju also made Ji trap and kill Shi Shuxi, a powerful favored minister, which weakened the Turks' subjugation to the Great Sui, and Shibi Khan no longer entered the Central Plains to meet Yang Guang.

This time, Yang Guang wanted to tour the north, which was to gather the kings or chiefs of the Turkic, Tiele, Hui, and Xue Yantuo tribes in the steppe to come and worship him.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to go out of Yanmen Pass and enter the grassland?" Pei Ju was a little worried, he had offended Shibi Khan deeply in the past few years, and he had a premonition that the other party would not be as docile and obedient as before.

"Yes, go to Mayi first, and then go deep into the grassland, we have more than 100,000 elite troops with us, which is enough to deter the tribes, don't worry." Yang Guang is quite confident, and what he has decided is difficult to shake.

Two days later, the Fourth Route Army had 1120,000 people, out of Yanmen Pass, marched to the northwest, and arrived at Mayi on the third day, the county guard Wang Rengong and Eagle Strike Lang took Liu Wuzhou out of the city to greet them, Yang Guang took these people, continued to the north, went deep into the grassland, and went to some nearby Turkic tribes to inspect, and led the troops to inspect the people of Fanbang.

On this day, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao rode on the high chariot dragon chariot, walked on the grassland, accepted the worship of several people of the tribe, and were a little happy in their hearts, just waiting for the news to come out, Shibi Khan and many tribal chieftains rushed over to meet after hearing the news, but unexpectedly, it was the Jin Ge Iron Horse that really came.

On the horizon in the distance, the grassland and the blue sky seemed to be connected, and suddenly, a black line seemed to appear suddenly.

Soon, the sound of iron hooves sounded, the earth trembled, the horses neighed, the dust on the ground rolled up, and the smoke billowed up.

Countless Turkic horses, like galloping arrows, shuttled through the yellowed wasteland, countless banners waving in the wind, sharp blades and spear heads, flashing with scorching cold light.

"Whoa—"

The Turkic knights on horseback were shouting like wolves, they had no iron armor, most of them were dressed in leather battle clothes, some wore leather armor, wore felt hats, their eyes were sunken, with a touch of blue under their eyes, the sharp nose bridge, and high cheekbones, showing the general character of the Turkic people, and they were also unruly.

When the Turkic cavalry came, it didn't look like they had come to worship, because they were murderous.

The smoke and dust in the sky are like dark clouds falling from the sky, their speed, without any fetters, let go of the horse speed, several times faster than imagined!

Ten thousand horses galloping, nearly 100,000 troops, like a torrent of steel, rolling in, galloping on the grassland The spectacular scene can't help but make people tremble.

Tu Wanxu led the front army of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the Turkic cavalry came to a head-to-head confrontation, the crowd of war horses, with a hard collision, like two huge waves colliding, making a deafening collision sound, and then, people turned over on their backs, flesh and blood flew sideways, and fell to the ground in an uproar.

It's too cruel, in an instant, there is blood everywhere, stumps fall, heads rolling, poof, sabers chopping down, blocking waist splitting, whether it is a person or a war horse, it has become fresh meat in the meat grinder, and blood sprays everywhere.

"Kill-" The Turkic knights, with a hideous smile on their faces, have long been eyeing the Central Plains, feeling that the Central Plains people are weak and can be bullied, but they occupy a good soil, and they should be given to the steppe people, and from then on, they entered the customs, broke through Kyushu, washed the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains in blood, and plundered countless wealth and women.

Yang Guang, Empress Xiao, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, seeing such a scene from afar, were so frightened that their faces changed greatly, and the Turks were going to break away from the control of the Great Sui.
