Yang Chong looked at Du Yan and said, "Shiji, you say." ”

Xu Shiji said calmly: "I plan to raid the Khitan and deceive Anzhou. 15,000 cavalry were dispatched from Zhuojun, Beiping, and Yingzhou, and they surrounded and annihilated one of the eight Khitan divisions in three ways, forcing all the Khitan to retreat north, and then pretending to be a Khitan to attack the Xi people. At the same time, the ambush troops all the way through Yanshan to White Wolf City, directly launched an attack from the other side, so that the Xi clan could not be connected from the end, so that in the end, we were all defeated. ”

Yang Chong gasped and said: "For the sake of this passage, I can pay any price, Jing Beihai has no problem asking for official positions and money, but the risk lies in the road, if the Xi clan ambushes the army at the exit of White Wolf City, this strange army will be on a dead end, and we will not be able to save it when we want to." ”

Xu Shiji is worthy of being a famous general, bold enough, and the plan he made is unbelievable; Yang Chong is also willing to gamble, but there are risks that cannot be pretended not to be seen. Xu Shiji smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this worry that I came to King Yue to solve it." ”

Yang Chong said with an immovable expression: "Yanshan, I'll solve it, if something happens, you will be in charge of a strict investigation in Hebei." ”

Du Yan almost laughed out loud, the family strictly investigated, Fan Yang Lu must be among them, Xu Shiji can't shirk it, tossing to the end, Xu Shiji still can't change his fate. Xu Shiji was not afraid of things, knowing that once the army was defeated, as the first person in Hebei's military and government, he would not be able to explain it up and down without investigation, so he readily agreed. Tianqi walked in quietly and told Yang Chongyu: "Our eyeliner report in Shanggu has sent Li Shimin to Dali City. ”

Tianqi is to protect the source of the news, even in front of Du Yan and Xu Shiji, he does not reveal a little rumor, and the difference between Tuo Chenshui and Shanggu is two days, plus the possible delay on the road, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't find a flaw. Xu Shiji thought for a while and said: "Li Shimin went to Dali City at this time, he must have persuaded the Turks to send troops, and only by defeating us once can Li Xiaogong in Lianghu change his mind again, it should be Taiyuan." ”

Xu Shiji's inference is very reasonable, Yang Chong is now sweeping the Central Plains, if the Turks take down a few border cities, they will not be able to cause a big impact at all, only the fall of a big city like Taiyuan will make people decide that Yang Chong's country is not stable. Du Yan said in disbelief: "Yu Juluo is here, they are so confident." ”

Yang Chong flicked the table lightly and said: "The fortress is all conquered from the inside, and the sky is abandoned, notify Chang'an, and find out the family members of the main generals and officials below Yujuluo; It is necessary for Yujuluo and Wei Zheng to strictly investigate the movements of the major families, especially the Wen family and the Pei family. The Yue Wangfu issued a military order to Han Shige and Song Jingang, preparing to attack the four counties of Hengshan, Shanggu, Mayi, and Yanmen, as long as Li Shimin served in Yang Zhengdao, or the Turks borrowed the territory under the jurisdiction of Dingxiangcheng to send troops, it was a signal for war. ”

Du Yan and others all agreed, if Dingxiangcheng and Jieli Khan wanted to move, then play a big game, and after Xu Shiji went back, he also began to secretly mobilize people and horses, waiting for the results of the negotiations between Yang Chong and Jing Beihai. The news from Taiyuan came quickly, and the most suspicious thing that Tianqi's subordinates thought was Yu Jinlu, the eldest son of Yu Juluo, Yu Jinyi, was Yanchuan County, and the third son Yu Jinlu was studying in Chang'an, only Yu Jinlu was by his side, and the two people who played the best with Yu Jinlu were Huyalang General Jin Biao and Kai Cao Shen Military Pei You.

In the heavily guarded study, Tianqi handed over the information and said: "The head of the family has a grudge against Pei You for killing his father, he is Pei Yuan's own son, but he was passed on to Pei Zhen's fourth son, and it is impossible to determine that the three of them have a problem, even after the accident, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is Pei You's own plan or the Pei family's idea." But I think we can try it in a different way. ”

After reading the information, Yang Chong said: "In the next article, Taiyuan County Kai Cao participated in the military Pei You was transferred to Hedong County to serve in the military, and let Meng Tuo send people to keep an eye on him; Zheng Pi Yu Jinlu was the deputy supervisor of Yanchi in East Yancheng, Cangzhou. At the same time, Yujuluo was informed that the Turks might attack Taiyuan from Dingxiang City, and they should strengthen their defenses. ”

Yang Chong didn't want to guess the people he trusted, as Tian Qi imagined, he transferred Yu Jinlu out of Taiyuan, if it was really these three people, the road was far away, and they would definitely show their feet when they exchanged news; If not, then act as if nothing happened. When the two walked out of the study and came to the official room, Hao Ying and Su Dingfang's deduction had already reached a conclusion, and Su Dingfang put forward a new point of view, the first target of the Turks was in Zuoguocheng, and the second was Taiyuan.

Yuan Keng, Yang Yanwu, Yang Shiluo, and Liu Yun are all in Taiyuan, and the guard of Zuoguo City is Liu Harrier, which echoes Bai Wei of Lishi County and Yin Dianming of Jingle County; If the Turks divide their troops to the south, Yin Dianming will bear the brunt of the attack, and it will never be possible to block the Turkic iron cavalry. And the original leader of the Huns, Liu Jizhen, is likely to harass Zuo Guocheng as a striker, and Bai Wei can hold Lishicheng in this situation, not to mention rescue.

After the city of Zuoguo was down, the Turks could attack Taiyuan with confidence and boldness, and even directly attack the Bird Mouse Valley, just like when the Hexi army attacked Li Yuan, Yang Chong looked at the map for a long time and asked: "Are you worried that Liang De will change?" ”

Liang De, the general of the Tiger Benlang during the period of Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, made great efforts on the way to attack Taiyuan by the Hexi Army, and made many military exploits after surrendering, but Liang De, like Qu Tutong, was a lord who surrendered to Sui but not to Yang, and Yang Chong added Liang De the title of a left reserve general, so that he still served as a county guard in Longquan County. Qu Tutong can turn a blind eye to Yang Yu's rebellion in Jiangdu, and it is really hard to say whether Liang De will change his banner because of Empress Xiao.

Hao Ying said in a low voice: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Li Shimin is really powerful, just making a gesture makes us work hard, and we don't know if it's true or not. ”

Yang Chong shook his head and said: "If Yang Zhengdao fights back, he should have this scruples, but in the face of the Turks, I believe that Liang De will not have an accident." In this way, between Zuoguocheng, Jingle, and Lishi, Qiaozhi Fengzhou, under the jurisdiction of Wuyuan, Yulin, Yuzhong, Yongfeng, Yunzhong five counties, appointed Liang De as Fengzhou Thorn History and Jingle County Guard, Yin Dianming as Fengzhou Don't Drive, Ying Yi as Longquan County Guard, Liang De's headquarters army was transferred to Fengzhou. ”

Everyone agrees that if Liang De has no dissent, this is a real reward, and as long as Liang De makes a few more merits, there is still hope for him to be promoted to general; If Liang De really rebelled, the war would still be on the front line of Zuoguo City, at least Ying Yi was in Longquan County, and he would not let the Turks occupy the Bird Mouse Valley so easily, leaving a hope for reinforcements in Taiyuan. At this time, Yang Chong urgently needed a real piece of information, and no one in the house expected that the final information would be so dramatic and full of sadness.
