"Lord Wang, I am only willing to reward ten jars of wine, and nearly 200 people drink it separately, and one person can only drink one or two bowls, so let's order less. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Yu Juluo got carried away, and actually talked to Yang Guang about the conditions.

Yang Guangle put the wine bowl in his hand on the several cases in front of him, and replied happily: "Okay, if you dare to bet, this king will break the money like this, as long as three months later, this new army under your command can win more with less, defeat the 'wolf's tooth five hundred horsemen', and this king will reward each of them with a jar of wine, how about it?" ”

Yu Juluo grinned happily, bowed down and thanked: "Thank you for the wine, the old man thanked the prince for the sergeants." ”

"Wait." Yang Guang glanced at Li Che, motioned for him to go back and take his seat, raised his hand and said to Yu Juluo, "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are Qi An Gong and the generals in the camp to testify, Yu Juluo, if you can't do it, what should you do?" ”

Yu Juluo was extremely satisfied with the nearly 200 newly recruited soldiers, and wanted to lead this super powerful new force to fight against Yong Yulu's "Wolf Tooth Five Hundred Cavalry" again, and when he heard Yang Guang ask him what if he couldn't defeat his opponent in three months, he clasped his hands into fists and replied awe-inspiringly: "Lao Er is willing to kill himself before the battle and make amends to the prince." ”

On a Chinese New Year's Eve at the end of the day, Yu Juluo said what he had said in public, and Yang Guangden had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and his face became gloomy.

Seeing this, Duan Da, who was sitting opposite Yujuluo, got up and left his seat with a smile, and deliberately interrupted: "Lord Wang, the last general will look at the sky, it has passed the fixed shift time, and it is time to set off firecrackers. When the last general came to the banquet, on the order of Duke Qi An, he asked people to prepare a number of firecrackers outside the door of the Xingtai Administration, and asked the prince to move and watch, how about it? ”

In Yang Guang's memory, he vaguely remembered that setting off firecrackers should be after the Tang Dynasty, and Duan Da actually claimed to have prepared firecrackers for Chinese New Year's Eve outside the Xingtai Office, isn't it strange?

"Okay. The generals asked the king to go outside the government office to watch the New Year's firecrackers, and then come back to continue drinking, it is not too late. Yang Guang stared coldly at the ominous Yu Juluo, and ordered with a smile to the banquet generals.

However, when Yang Guang led the generals of the hussar battalion out of the small courtyard where he lived and came to the gate of the government office, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw that sections of dried bamboo tubes were neatly stacked on the ground not far from the gate of the government office: it turned out that what Duan Da said about inviting himself to watch the firecrackers was really "firecrackers"!

The sound of firecrackers sounded in front of the office of the Xingtai Office, and the streets and alleys of the city immediately echoed the crisp sound of firecrackers, and the people of the city were all immersed in this happy and peaceful atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, before Yang Guang and his entourage watched the firecrackers outside the gate of the Xingtai Government Office, returned to the small courtyard, and continued the feast, a rapid sound of horses' hooves was heard from far to near from the direction of the north of the city.

"Yanmen is in a hurry, Yanmen is in a hurry....."

In the blink of an eye, a scout in soft armor galloped to the door of the Xingtai Administration, turned over and dismounted, threw himself in front of Yang Guang, and neighed: "Report, the Turks attacked Yanmen Pass at night, and Li Shangshu ordered a small rush back to Bingzhou to ask the King of Jin to send reinforcements quickly. But I wonder if His Royal Highness King Jin is in the government office? ”

"King Jin is standing in front of you." Li Che was startled abruptly and replied in a deep voice.

"How many soldiers and horses did the Turks send? Is Yanmen Pass still in the hands of my Great Sui? Yang Guang didn't want to return to the council hall to listen to the report, so he stood on the steps of the gate of the Xingtai Office and asked the scout in a loud voice.

"Lord Yu, when the little one left Yanmen Pass, the city had not yet been breached, but it was ......"

"But what? As far as this king knows, the total number of Turkic soldiers and horses stationed in Baidao Prefecture is only one or two thousand, and Yanmen Pass is guarded by Li Xiong with 5,000 men and horses, how can it be broken by the Turks in less than one night? After Yang Guang was startled, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, stared at the scout and asked.

"The prince didn't know that the Turks suddenly attacked tonight, and although there were not many soldiers and horses dispatched, the siege weapons used were very powerful. Li Shangshu was afraid that Yanmen would be lost, so he ordered the small one to return to the state and ask the prince to send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Obviously, the scout who was sent back to Bingzhou by Li Xiong knew very little, and it was not even very clear how many troops and horses the Turks had sent to attack Yanmen Pass at night, and who the general of the unified army was.

"Look, the prince has already lit a beacon fire in the north, and what this person said should be true." Li Che pointed in the direction of Yanmen Pass in the north and reminded Yang Guangdao.

"The Turks are really not his grandmother's thing, and even a Chinese New Year's Eve does not make people live peacefully. Lord Wang, please give Lao Er a general order, Lao Er is willing to lead 200 hussars under his command to rush to Yanmen Pass immediately to kill the enemy who retreats. Feeling that he had said the wrong thing tonight, he volunteered to give the order to retreat from the enemy.

"At present, the enemy's origin is unknown, please give an order to the prince, order all the troops stationed on the Great Wall to immediately light the beacon fire and wolf smoke to warn, and tell the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province to strictly guard against the Turks to take advantage of the New Year to invade." Li Che waved his hand to stop Yu Juluo, and calmly made a suggestion to Yang Guang.

"Just do what Qi Angong says. However, the most urgent thing at this time is to quickly send troops to help Yanmen Pass, and invite Zhang and Wang to come to the meeting of the Taiwan Government Office. Yang Guang decisively adopted Li Che's suggestion, but because although he was the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Governor's book, he had no military power in his hands.

"Hurry up with power. Lord Wang, according to the situation reported by the scouts, it is speculated that the situation at Yanmen Pass has probably reached a very critical juncture, and at this time, it is only too late to send reinforcements to the two servants who are summoned to gather at the Xingtai Government Office. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead a newly recruited 10,000 army to go to Yanmen to retreat from the enemy. Li Che Zhengse asked Yang Guang for an order.

The newly recruited 30,000 Hebei Prefecture troops have not yet been formally incorporated into the marching sequence of the Bingzhou Prefecture Army for the time being, and Li Che and other hussar battalion generals led the assembly and exercise in the southern suburbs of Bingzhou

"The commander of the Duke of Qi An, the military of the Jin Palace, should stay by the prince's side to control the overall situation, if the last general and General Yu led the newly recruited 10,000 soldiers and horses to Yanmen for reinforcements." Duan Da clenched his fists and stepped forward, and asked Yang Guang and Li Che to give orders.

"There is no need to fight for the rank generals. The Turks openly abandoned the non-aggression peace treaty signed with the king not long ago, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to attack our Yanmen Pass. Duke Qi An, this king is determined, you will inform the two servants of the line, lead the army to stay in the state, and take charge of the overall situation on behalf of the king. The rest of the generals in the battalion all rushed to Yanmen Pass immediately with 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of this king, and asked the Tuli Khan face to face why he did not keep his promise and brazenly attacked my Yanmen Pass at night. "Yang Guang's determination to go to Yanmen Pass has been made, so he will not give the public any chance to dissuade him," Zhang Xutuo, anyone who dares to make noise to persuade this king to go to Yanmen Pass to relieve the siege, will be immediately killed. Xian Yuluo, go and lead the 'Iron Hoof Dragon', and go out of the city with me immediately. ”
