A red military flag of the Great Sui, embroidered with the word "Yang", fluttered in the wind and was blown to the sound of hunting.

This camp stretches for several miles, the overall is circular, according to the characteristics of the terrain, a circle is connected by a circle, each circle is a large battalion, the circumference is more than 1,000 steps, the diameter is about 450 steps, the camp tent of the Chinese army is spread in the periphery, and then the infantry armor is 1,800 people in the periphery, the cavalry is 1,000 people, the baggage soldiers are also included, the guard barracks, etc., layer by layer around the commander's camp.

The periphery is the left front army, the right front army, the left Yu Hou army, the Hou Yu Hou army, the left rear army, the right rear army each two battalions, so that the gradient fan expansion outward, each battalion 1,400 people, a total of 140 tents, the camp street is 15 steps wide, the thorns are orderly, the humane horse road is clearly distinguished, each battalion has a partial general, the captain leads the army to patrol, two shifts are rotated, every detail is meticulous.

The outermost layer of the camp is a wooden fence, digging shallow ditches, burying antlers, and erecting a high guard tower every fifty paces to not only observe the enemy's situation, but also monitor abnormal movements in the camp.

Yang Su is regarded as a courtier of the Great Sui Dynasty, with a heroic temperament, both civil and military, although he has not seen much of the art of war, and he is not a military general, but he has very personal characteristics in leading soldiers, and he often wins a hundred battles.

In these years, every time he went out to the army, Yang Su tried to control the crowd strictly, and every time he marched to fight, he first looked for some soldiers who made mistakes and beheaded them, more than 100 people at times, and more than a dozen people when he was little, and sacrificed the flag with blood to deter the three armies.

In ancient times, 100,000, hundreds of thousands of troops, too many people and horses, the victory and defeat are in the group battle, play the overall strength, only the military order to make it like an arm, omnipotent, in order to carry out the fastest speed, the most powerful obedience, often invincible, invincible!

At this time, Yang Su was holding a meeting of generals above the level of sub-general in the big tent, Zhou Luohu, Qu Tutong, Yu Juluo, Yang Hui, Mai Tiezhu, Zhao Cai, Li Shanheng, these fierce generals of the Great Sui military gathered together, covered in armor, with a cold expression, facing Yang Gong were a little restrained, waiting for Yang Su's dispatch.

"Bujia Khan, this time the troops are a little abnormal, it is not over the Yin Mountain, attacking the ancient Dengkou and Wuyuan area, but from the west, according to the news from the general of Changsun Sheng, the team attacking Yangguan is mostly the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, coerced by the Turks, acting as a pawn of the horse, the Turkic soldiers are behind, and they find the Western Regions, servant bones, etc., which country, which tribe of soldiers perfunctory, or retreat, will decisively cut and kill, forcing the siege, but the terrain of Yangguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, 100,000 troops are stationed, the problem is not big, The key to this battle is on our side, what are the opinions of all the generals? ”

After Yang Su finished speaking calmly, he was not angry, picked up a cup of tea and soup, drank it slowly, and his eyes swept over the generals and strategists in the hall, wanting to hear what these people thought.

These generals have made a lot of contributions in the Great Sui, all of them are resolute and irritable, ordinary people can't control it, and today's imperial court, who can collect accounts at the same time, and there are only people who have the heart to compare, only Yang Su.

After all, these generals, in the past 20 years, have basically served under Yang Su, and even some generals were promoted by him, which can be regarded as the old general's old department.

Therefore, regardless of Zhou Luohu, Qu Tutong and others, they are all in awe of Yang Su, plus Yang Suquan leans towards the government and the opposition, has great power, and Yang Valve is prosperous, so they are all convinced, so when Yang Su asked, no one present showed dissatisfaction, but they all became serious.

Zhou Luohu, who served as the chief general of the vanguard army, arched his hand and said: "Marshal, the last general has been fighting with the Turks on the front line for many days, and found that the Turkic army's intention to attack the city is insufficient, and the main army has not yet arrived. ”

A middle-aged strategist Hou Mogan said: "Dashuai, such a strategy, it is not like the Turks can come up with it, it seems that behind the Bujia Khan, he has invited capable people from the Western Regions, Tuyuhun or Mobei to give advice." ”

Yang Su nodded, and thought: "Bujia Khan unified the Mobei grassland this time, integrated the forces of the Eastern and Western Turks, it is indeed much stronger, after three years of preparation, only to launch this war of invasion of Sui, it seems that not only the military strength has improved, but even the wisdom has been used more, unlike the previous tendons to kill, the tiger is not terrible, but with the cunning of the fox, it is difficult to deal with." ”

A general who was over fifty years old spoke: "Marshal, if we stick to the Yumen Pass and cannot hold out the fortress, no matter what conspiracy the Turks have, if we can't break through the fortress of Chengguan, there will be nothing we can do about it." ”

This old general is called Zhao Cai, the word Xiaocai, born in the Zhao family, one of the Guanlongmen valves, his grandfather Zhao Kui was the Northern Wei Dynasty Yinqing Guanglu doctor, his father Zhao Shou, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the Shunzheng County Taishou, and Zhao Cai was brave and aggressive when he was young, good at riding horses and archery, and he fought horses all his life.

Yang Su shook his head slightly and said: "The 300,000 troops of the Great Sui Army have been mobilized, and their morale is booming, if they are delayed in the Yumen Pass for a long time, they will not be able to shrink, and the edge of the army will be worn out. Although the Turks also have to consume grain and grass, but the Turks came prepared this time, and they must be well prepared, plus from the Western Regions and other countries, Tiele and other departments, forcibly requisitioned a lot of grain and grass, troops, war horses, etc., and now they continue to send cavalry along the sandbar and the Great Wall of Suzhou to fight grass valleys, which is not good for our army! ”

Liu Quan, a strategist wearing a green robe said: "Marshal, Liu feels that the Turkic army is just a cover-up, and frequently sends the enemy army deep behind our army, trying to intercept and burn our army's grain and grass transportation road, once the grain and grass on the way is destroyed, our army can only support the front line for a few months, and the surrounding villages and towns have been destroyed by the Turks, and finally we have become a source of water and a tree without roots, that is the real danger!" ”

Yang Su frowned when he heard this, secretly frightened, it is not impossible to have this possibility, it seems that the men and horses escorting the grain and baggage in the rear will also strengthen their troops, and they will be equipped with some cavalry to follow and escort.

At this time, a general in his forties stood up, burly, with his arms like an ape, full of strength, as if he could resist the weight of thousands of catties, and what was even more surprising was his pupils, there were two pupils in one eye, and it turned out to be double pupils, his eyes were sharp, this person was the famous general of the Sui army, Yu Juluo, one of Yang Su's most powerful generals.

Yu Juluo arched his hand and said: "Marshal, our army is new, morale is like a rainbow, it is the time to start a war with the Turks, procrastination, will only let the Turks find our weakness, after all, our army has traveled thousands of miles, and the soldiers of the government are homesick, once it has been a long time, they have no intention of fighting." In addition, although there are many Turkic armies, there are many tribes, and there is no shortage of rabble, which is temporarily formed. Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that the other party's departments have not yet run in well and strike a heavy blow, so that those small states such as the Western Regions and the servants can be frightened and afraid of the Great Sui, and scatter in a hurry! ”
