Guyuan, also known as Pinggao County, when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty cut down the hustle and bustle, marched to here, in the Han Dynasty has the name of the first city of Gaoping, said that it is dangerous and solid, some people in the Han Dynasty commented on the geographical location of Guyuan: the left controls the five plains, the right takes the Lanhui, the yellow stream surrounds the north, Kongtong blocks the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key to the three towns. Since ancient times, it has been a military town on the throat road from Guanzhong to the Western Regions

In the first month of the fourth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty (569), the court built the new city of Yuanzhou here, which was doubled in size than the original site, and was renamed Pinggao County, the newly built Pinggao County was tall and majestic, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the first artery of the Guanzhong Plain.

Now Pinggao County has become the world of the Turks, and the original owners of the city, whether Han or Xianbei, except for women, have been slaughtered. After taking Pinggao County, it can be said that the Turks' plan to kill Chang'an City was at least half completed.

In order to capture this fortified city, 40,000 Turkic troops attacked for three days and three nights, and paid nearly five or six thousand casualties before entering the city.

It's just that Li Chong, the county guard of Pinggao County, still escaped with hundreds of remnants, and the thunderous Turkic commander unceremoniously ordered the slaughter of the city.

At present, the Turkic armies that went to the cities to sweep have converged one after another to Pinggao County, this city has temporarily become the base camp of the Turks, from Pinggao County to Chang'an, there is almost a thousand miles away, but there is no more Turkic city that must be attacked, if you just go to Chang'an to go around, with the speed of the Turkic cavalry, you can get to Chang'an City in about seven or eight days.

At this moment, in the most luxurious mansion of Gaoping County, a group of Turkic upper-class nobles are holding a banquet, and all kinds of delicacies on the grassland are sent up like flowing water. ”

This mansion is the county guard of Pinggao County Li Chong, and it is also the former residence of Li Mu, the Duke of Shenguo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Li Xian, the Shangzhu State, Li Xian is Li Mu's elder brother, and Li Chong is Li Xian's son. Although Li Chong escaped, his family still fell into the hands of the Turks, Li Chong's wife had committed suicide, and his two concubines were now trembling in front of Sha Boluo.

In the hall, many Turks were already drunk and began to pull the clothes of the Zhou women around them, and the screams of the women and the laughter of the Turks filled the entire hall.

Watching his subordinates release the prodigal remains, Sha Boluo laughed, put down the wine and leg of mutton in his hand, and grabbed Li Chong's two concubines with greasy hands.

Sha Boluo pulled the two women up and asked his generals, "Children, do you think these two women are good-looking?" ”

The Turkic generals suddenly panted like cattle, and looked greedily at the faces of the two women, the women around them were too far away from these two women, but these two women had been slightly owned by the sand bowl, and they could only live a good life: "Good-looking." ”

"Let me tell you, in Chang'an, there are more women who are better than this, and when we arrive in Chang'an, we must be given one to each person by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, otherwise we will break Chang'an."

"Break Chang'an, break Chang'an." All the Turks got excited, threw the woman to the ground, and prostituted themselves in the hall.

The Xuanlong army has been resting at the foot of Liupan Mountain for two days, and the scouts have been scattered along Liupan Mountain for dozens of miles, but they have not found the figure of the Turks, and the displaced people in front have encountered a lot, and from the mouths of the displaced people, the Xuanlong Army has learned the news of the fall of Pinggao County.

Without Pinggao County to block it, the Turks wanted to leave or stay, and it was not Yang Tian's 2,000 men and horses that could stop it, so Yang Tian had to desperately mobilize state soldiers from behind to strengthen the two counties of Longdong and Anding on the right. In the past two days, quite a number of state soldiers have arrived, and a defensive line has been initially formed on the periphery of Liupan Mountain.

Now that the strength of these two counties has increased greatly, and there is the mobile force of the Xuanlong Army, the Turks may not have the courage to pass directly between the two counties without attacking the city, otherwise if the back road is cut off, the Turks may be completely wiped out.

It's just that Yang Tian is puzzled that the Turks have captured Pinggao County for three or four days, but they have been staying in the city without moving, could it be that the Turks said that attacking Chang'an in January is just a big talk, in fact, they have no intention of going south now.

If the Turks don't move like this, as long as Yang Tian drags them out, even if the two armies don't fight, it will be considered a victory, but Yang Tian doesn't want to get such a victory.

The Xuanlong army began to advance along the foot of Liupan Mountain, and two days later, a river flowed out of Liupan Mountain, and the rushing water blocked the way of the whole army's advance.

Li Gang had been here with King Qi and said to Yang Tian: "General, the Jing River is in front, and it is only thirty miles away from Pinggao County, so you can't go any further." ”

Looking at the mighty river in front of him, Yang Tian asked, "Can this river be crossed directly?" ”

"Yes, but there used to be a bridge here, but now the bridge has been demolished, and it's spring, and it's just flooding, so you have to go to the width of the water downstream before you can ride a horse and wade through the water."

"Okay, the whole army turns downstream and camps at the river crossing."

The herald quickly passed Yang Tian's order, and the whole army began to turn, and was about to go east along the river, when the ranger on the left suddenly heard the sound of warning, and the whole army immediately stopped and looked to the left of the team.

To their left was the high Liupan Mountain, and there were rare figures swaying on the mountainside, Yang Tian's face changed, could it be that the Turks were lying in ambush on the mountain, waiting for them to enter the net.

"General, the last general will go and investigate." Shi Wansui took the initiative to ask.

"Okay, that's hard General Shi." The mountain is steep, except for Shi Wansui, Yang Tian really doesn't worry about other people going, Shi Wansui is strong in martial arts, the most important thing is that he has been in the army for more than ten years, he has rich experience, after such a long time of getting along, Shi Wansui has no intention of resisting Yang Tian at the beginning, this time he is so active, he just wants to show his allegiance to Yang Tian, of course Yang Tian will not refuse.
