Liaodong.

Xiangping City.

Luo Cheng summoned the generals.

On top of the White Tiger Festival Hall, the school will be gathered together. But the faces of the generals and colonels were more solemn, and they were not as relaxed as they were in the usual military discussions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty's edict of King Qin has also seen that the ambition of the Turkic wolf son actually took advantage of His Majesty's inspection of the northern frontier to rob the holy car and gather 300,000 Turks to go south, and now it has broken through dozens of cities in the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen, only the county town of Yanmen and the county town of Lao are still holding on, and the rest are trapped."

"Now the white-eyed wolf is storming Yanmen day and night, although there are 100,000 Xiaoguo guards in Yanmen City, but 150,000 soldiers and civilians, but only 20 days of food, and now a few days have passed, only half a month's food."

Duan Dadao, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, said, "Please Luo Shuai quickly transfer troops to King Qin!" ”

"King Qin is natural, and calling you here today is to make arrangements for sending troops. Rescue soldiers are like fighting fires, and there is no need to wait, so I decided to rush to the rescue only with light horses, so as not to lose time on the way. ”

Luo Cheng announced that he would take 9,000 light cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry to rush to the rescue of King Qinwang of Yanmen.

"Deputy Envoy Duan went with me to rescue the driver, Liaodong was guarded by General Changshi Hou Mo Chen and Sima Wei Zheng, and General Feng Xiaoci sat in Liaodong City, Xincheng Taishou Fang Xuanling, and Liaoxi Taishou Du Ruhui worked together."

"General Song Laosheng is too guarded by Jian'an, General Luo Cunxiao is guarded by Lushun, and General Qu Tutong is guarded by Liucheng Taishou, will all follow me to King Qin."

When the fourth child heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm happy to fight, and I haven't beaten the Turks yet." ”

Luo Cheng arranged Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, Lai Quan, Li Shimin, Duan Zhixuan and other generals to accompany the army.

and arranged for some old brothers such as Zhou Dewei and Zhou Xin to stay behind.

"It's only 10,000 or two horses, will it be too little?" Duan Da asked.

"The soldiers are fast, King Qin is faster, the more soldiers the slower, and we have to leave the soldiers and horses to guard Liaodong and guard against the Yuan clan."

"Of course, as soon as I received the order of King Qin, I have already sent people to inform the Khitan and Xi people quickly, so that they can send troops to help, and I will meet them in Beiping County, and they should also send some cavalry to come."

Duan Da also asked Luo Suo, but Luo Cheng ignored him.

"Feng pacifying envoy, Li observing envoy."

Luo Cheng looked at Feng Lun and Li Baiyao, one of these two was a pacifier and the other was an observer, Luo Cheng and Duan Da were not there, the two of them were the highest officials of Andong Dao, since Luo Cheng had taken Duan Da away, he naturally didn't want to keep these two people, for fear that the two would do bad things.

"Please also ask the two of you to join me in the king!"

Feng Lun is a sleek person, he is Yu Shiji's person, but after arriving in Liaodong, he is quite honest, and he is not bad with Luo Cheng, and he didn't deliberately make anything bad, but Li Baiyao is more responsible.

Just in case, Luo Cheng still didn't worry about leaving them in Liaodong.

Feng Lun said, "A certain is just a pro-people official in Andong Province, and it is not my forte to fight with the army." ”

"I know that King Keqin is a big deal, and it is better to show loyalty by sealing the pacification envoy and going together."

Feng Lun had no choice but to respond.

He knew Luo Cheng's plan in his heart, in fact, he had been in Liaodong for almost two years, Luo Cheng acted more arbitrarily and independently, but he didn't have any obvious handles, especially when he was still extremely favored, Feng Lun didn't do much against Luo Cheng.

But for two years, he has not been able to integrate into Luo Cheng's circle, and he can see that Luo Cheng has really established a big mountain in Liaodong.

After the military meeting was over, the generals went to prepare.

Luo Cheng talked to Hou Mochen and Wei Zheng, who were in charge of staying behind, these two people were confidants, and there was nothing they couldn't say to them.

"If the Yuan clan dares to attack, the Khitan, Xi, and Murowei people can attack Yuchuan and force it to save themselves. If he didn't stop, he sent a group of troops and horses to directly cross the sea and land in Pyongyang, and attack the Yuan clan together with Yang Wanchun and the Silla people. ”

"But if the Yuan clan doesn't move, don't mess with him, and it's not too late to clean him up when I come back."

Wei Zheng smiled.

"Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, this is not a good time to fight, I'm afraid that we won't fight the Yuan clan, they see that there is an opportunity to attack us, especially if they don't come to attack the city, just loot the crops in various places, or even directly burn the grain, it will be a heavy blow to us."

"You're right, so this time I'll only take 12,000 cavalry with me, and try to keep as many soldiers at home as possible. As soon as the grain is ripe, quickly organize a rush to harvest. If it really doesn't work, let's set fire to it first, don't rob it for the Yuan clan, don't worry, we have saved some food now, even if we lose some, we can hold on, and when I come back, I will have to pay them back a hundred times. ”

The autumn harvest is sending troops at the moment, which Luo Cheng is also unwilling.

But at the moment, it is not possible to send troops, and in the siege of Yanmen, he must send troops.

Historically, the emperor did not break the city for more than a month, and reinforcements from all walks of life arrived, and even Wang Shichong, who was far away in Jianghuai, arrived with Jianghuai soldiers, so if Luo Cheng did not go, the consequences would be very serious.

Whether it was to prevent the Turks from breaking through Yanmen, or to show their loyalty, Luo Cheng had to make this trip.

August 17th.

Luo Cheng led 12,000 light and heavy cavalry across the Liao River and headed west.

Everyone rides in pairs.

Each man carried a hundred arrows, two bows, and five strings.

In addition, I only brought meat floss, fried noodles and some fine horse ingredients.

Nothing else.

The soldiers and horses marched lightly, traveling 200 miles a day, almost non-stop, and the horses were constantly changing.

In four days, Luo Cheng led 12,000 men and horses from Liaodong City to Linyu Pass.

More than 700 miles, only four days.

Linyu Pass.

Two tribes were already waiting for him.

"Kumo Xi Mo Hefu and his son Su Zhi led three thousand tribal warriors to come on Luo Shuai's orders!"

A burly and tall man bowed to Luo Cheng.

"Thank you."

Kedu was still a little uneasy and said, "Due to the urgency of time, I only came and recruited 3,000 warriors to come, and I hope that the marshal will forgive his sins." ”

"Three thousand is already a lot, but you have proved your loyalty to the Great Sui, and it will be rewarded."

The Khitan Khan Dahe Duluo also hurried up.

"The Khitan Dahe Duluo and his son Mo will lead five thousand warriors to listen to the order."

The Khitan is still in the north of the Xi people, but five thousand came, which proves that the Khitan is very sincere.

The Xi and Khitan were once one, and later divided into two tribes, earlier as vassals of the Turks, and later as vassals to the Sui. The Khitans also rebelled against the Sui at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, but after being ruthlessly cleaned up by the Sui people, they became honest.

At that time, the Sui army broke the Khitan, which made the ancient eight-part alliance of the Khitan collapse, and now the eight departments have been reorganized, and the Dahe clan has become the head of the alliance, and Dahe Duluo has learned the previous lessons and has always been very respectful to the Sui.

After receiving Luo Cheng's urgent order, he didn't dare to refuse to delay and hurried south.

and Xi and Khitan two eight thousand light horses, Luo Cheng was very satisfied.

Thus adding his own twelve thousand horsemen made twenty thousand light horsemen.

"Enter!"

On August 20, Luo Cheng led a total of 20,000 cavalrymen from Andong Dao, Kumoxi, and Khitan to enter the pass.
