Zhao Deyan didn't believe that Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo would have such vision and ambition, so he arranged two hundred Turkic elite horsemen to escort Lu Jilan, and told Lu Jilan in front of Bu Lishe: "This matter is related to the Turkic national fortune, and the Sui people's spies in the Turks are pervasive, Lord Lu should not discuss with anyone, you can only tell the Khan alone, and wait for the Khan to decide, and then communicate with Princess Yicheng." In addition, there are people behind Xue Yantuo, and this matter is dragging us into the water from a different angle. ”

Zhao Deyan's caution is not unreasonable, Lu Jilan said: "Lord Zhao, rest assured, the lower officials know the severity, Yi Nan must have received someone's guidance, and even playing a double reed with Da Sui may not be said." The lower officials will definitely make it clear what is at stake, and let the Khan decide, Lightning River wants to control the entry and exit of personnel, and it is best to blockade it for a period of time and wait for news from Dali City. ”

The wise men had the same opinion, and they all knew that intelligence was important, but the three of them never dreamed that Zhuojun had received the news, the information came from the Hui Hui, and the Bodhisattva who was transferred to the Liaodong Jingluo Mansion to join the army was the son of Shi Jian, the chief of the Hui Dynasty. After Wang Ting got Yang Chong's decision to appoint the Bodhisattva as the next chief of the Hui Hui, he immediately formulated a plan for the Hui Hui, and the Bodhisattva also sent his cronies back to buy the clansmen one after another, and established an intelligence network in Xue Yantuo, and the matter of Shi Jian sending envoys to Goguryeo with Wang Xiaohu and others had already been leaked.

Goguryeo was an enemy of the Great Sui, and the Hui were a vassal state of Xue Yantuo, so there was no need to consider the tendency at all for such information; Wang Xiaohu disappeared in Turkic, probably with Li Shimin, Zhuo Jun did not make a second judgment, and immediately made every effort to investigate the movements of various ethnic groups in the northeast. Therefore, when a caravan from the east arrived at the Lightning River and was personally received by Zhao Deyan, and then the Lightning River was isolated from the outside, Xu Shiji and Wang Ting dispatched all the scouts to inspect the walking route of the caravan, and finally determined that it was from Huilong City and crossed through the territory of Heishui and Nanmurwei.

Now Yang Chong and Xu Shiji are thinking with their feet, and they also know what is going on, and they know that the big drama is about to be staged, and according to the capricious nature of Jieli Khan, it is inevitable to use the sword again. Yu Juluo said in a deep voice: "If the Lightning River does not send the personnel of this caravan to Anzhou within a month, it means that Jieli Khan has made up his mind to meet us with a true chapter; Therefore, the armies in various places must be secretly mobilized within a month, ready to face the battle, world achievements, and tell us your plans. ”

Xu Shiji said confidently: "I hope that the king of Yue will agree to my all-out attack on Liaodong this time, and not send a naval army, one is that Baekje may join forces with Goguryeo, and the queen is really scheming, and she will wait for Zhang Bojian to return before going to war." Rather, I wanted to turn Liaodong into a battlefield of strangulation, and no matter what the final result was, to destroy the Goguryeo army as much as possible, so that I could act cheaply later, so that the Turks of Tuli and Nanmurwei could block the Turkic army of the Lightning River. ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "I let the infantry troops from all walks of life go north, just to help you fight this battle in Liaodong, but the time came a little early, the soldiers in the south have just become familiar with the climate in the northeast, and I am afraid that it will really affect the combat effectiveness in the ice and snow." It doesn't matter if the sailor doesn't move, I just want to put some burden on Wang Ting, I hope that while defeating the Turks and Goguryeo, this time it will be like the Bodhisattva returning to the Hui as the chief, the Hui is an alliance formed by Yuan Su in the Mobei Tiele and the Wuhu of the Tianshan Tiele, I only want the Bodhisattva to serve as the chief of Yuan Su, and the big chief is still for his Laozi Shijian. ”

Wuhu came to Mobei after the defeat of the Tianshan Mountains, and was an absolute weaker in the alliance, and if the Bodhisattva could serve as the chief of Yuan Su, he would actually have the decision-making power of Hui Hui, and weaken Xue Yantuo's power to a certain extent. Zhang Gongjin said: "King Yue, although the idea is good, but the Bodhisattva's ability may not be able to cope with this situation, the last general is willing to lead people to the source of the water to help the Bodhisattva." ”

Zhang Gongjin has great ambitions, although Yang Chong really values him, but Zhang Gongjin understands that if he does not make miraculous achievements, it is difficult to stand out in the army of famous generals. The Bodhisattva went back blatantly like this, it is easy to arouse the disgust of Yi Nan, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of open guns and hidden arrows, and if you go by yourself, you can use the strategy to help the Bodhisattva directly destroy Xue Yantuo as his own merit in the army.

Zhang Gongjin's idea is good, but it is different from Yang Chong's idea, and at the same time it will give the Hui a chance to become bigger, Yang Chong waved his hand and said: "If we send an army to help the Bodhisattva, the best way is to drive the army in front of Shi Jian, you can't succeed with a few hundred people, but it will make the Hui people disgusted, and the matter of the army going north will be handed over to Tuli." Once our army is victorious, you will go to Xue Yantuo and say that as long as they let the Bodhisattva ascend to the throne, the Great Sui will build a post road from the city to the mountain of the Great Desert Yu Overseer. ”

After the post road was completed, Xue Yantuo could go directly to the city, and the material transfer and trade route of the Great Sui were equal to the opening, Xue Yantuo would not agree after the defeat; Yang Chong didn't say anything about the Turks, it was obvious that after the defeat of the Turks, either the Turks would be in charge, or Yang Chong would use the existence of the Lightning River to force the Turks to make concessions. Hui is now a vassal state of Xue Yantuo, and under the pressure of the three suzerains of the Great Sui, Turkic, and Xue Yantuo, if Shi Jian does not bow his head, he is looking for death.

Zhang Gong agreed, and became more and more puzzled in his heart, could it be that Yang Chong had today's plan when he took in the Bodhisattva, and his vision was too far-sighted. In fact, not only Zhang Gongjin, but most of the people in the house were thinking about this question, whether they could think of this step back then; At present, as long as the Bodhisattva controls Yuan Su, it is equivalent to a scale pressing down a scale, as if a game of chess can finally come to an end.

Cui Chu straightened up the teacup, saluted Xu Shiji and said, "Whether you can complete the battle depends on the general." ”

Yu Juluo hurried to Taiyuan after the meeting to assist Li Jing in dealing with Dali City; Under the persuasion of Princess Yicheng, Jieli Khan finally agreed to Goguryeo's plan, and Kang Sumi immediately transmitted the information to Taiyuan. When Yu Juluo, Li Jing, and Wang Ji saw the news sent by Peng Moyun, they knew that the war was imminent; However, in two days, the world spread all over the world, and Jieli Khan once again sent troops to fight a decisive battle with the Great Sui.

Jieli Khan personally commanded 100,000 Turkic troops to attack Taiyuan, Qi Jishe commanded 90,000 allied troops to attack Yanmen County, Xue Yantuo's Yinan led Xue Yantuo, Hui and other 80,000 Tiele coalition troops to attack the two major governors of Muwei and Heishui, Bu Lishe led 60,000 troops of the Xiguo and Murowei coalition to attack Anzhou, and Goguryeo sent 150,000 troops to attack Yingzhou. When the news came out, the entire northern land changed color, this is a general decisive battle, except for Goguryeo, if the other tribes fail, it will be the end of the destruction of the country.
