Chapter 5 Yanmen Pass

When more Tang soldiers appeared on horseback, among them were Yang Yi and Yang Sheng, who Jia Xiong cared about. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, the two of them seemed to be fine, except for a little injury and a little tired. Thinking of this, Jia Xiong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If Yang Yi and Yang Sheng had any damage, Jia Xiong really didn't know how to explain to his old friend when he went back.

It was only at this time that Jia Xiong noticed a man dressed as a general in the middle of the team, wearing silver armor, holding a red tasseled spear, riding a white horse, and looking like a general. The Tang general's eagle-like gaze swept over the battlefield that had just stopped. Until recently, the man dressed as a general of the Tang Dynasty turned over and dismounted and came to Lin Yi, "Hou Junji, deputy head of the Northern Army in Yanmen Pass Town, Tang Dynasty!" This trip was secretly ordered that there would be Turks ambushing my Datang merchant here, but I didn't think it would be a step too late! But fortunately, you didn't have much damage, otherwise Hou would not be able to escape the blame! ”

From afar, Jia Xiong had already recognized this person, the Shangshu of the Tang Military Department, and the Shangshu Hou Junji of the School Inspector's Department! Jia Xiong bowed deeply, "General Hou is benevolent. This time, thanks to Lin Yi Shaoxia who met on the road, otherwise the result would be unpredictable! When Hou Junji heard this, he looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "Disciple of Buddhism? Lin Yi smashed his mouth, thinking of the days when the monk could only eat wild fruits to satisfy his hunger for more than ten years, he hurriedly denied it, "No! The tone was so firm that even Lin Yi himself almost believed it. Jia Xiong and Jia Wenwen next to him both dropped their jaws in shock, and looked at Lin Yi dumbfounded. The person who performed the advanced martial arts of Buddhism just now should be the person in front of him who has a firm face and denies that he is a disciple of Buddhism, right? However, Hou Junji, who didn't know what had happened, didn't dwell on this, and looked at the moaning Turks, "Come on, tie up these Turkic reckless people for me." If you dare to come to my Datang border to commit trouble, you must be aware that life is worse than death! "Yes!" Through the hateful gazes of these Tang soldiers, Lin Yi could already predict the tragic end of these Turks. Lin Yi thought to himself at that time, how much these Turks would hope that they would die at this moment.

Through the monk's explanation, Lin Yi understood that every year, a large number of innocent people would die at the hands of these Turks in the border towns north of the Tang Dynasty. If it's just snatching food, in order to survive, Lin Yi can understand. But these Turks are a group of people who say they are human, but they are actually like wolves. In their eyes, there is no mercy, and every snatch is definitely accompanied by aimless, cruel and boundless killing! So with them, kindness is the real pathetic. Only through bloodier killings than theirs can their ambitions be deterred.

It's a pity that although the Tang Dynasty is strong now, the surrounding countries are all watching it, and it is necessary to divide the troops into six routes and sit at the border to prevent the strong enemy from attacking. At the same time, the biggest obstacle to the development of Datang is the limitation of population. The territory of Datang is vast, but the total population of Datang is less than 20 million, except for the old, young, women and children, etc., there are even fewer who can join the army. Therefore, at present, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is more than enough, but it can no longer expand outward, otherwise, the Turks will face the first battle of the awakening of the lion of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Yanmen Pass is built on the mountain. Nestled between two mountains. The fortifications on both sides stretched for miles along the mountain road. The city wall of Yanmen Pass is tens of meters high, and it has stood tall after hundreds of battles and battles. At the same time, Yanmen Pass is also known as the first Xiongguan in China. In Yanmen Pass, there is the Zhenbei Army of the Xuanwu Army, the first legion of the Tang Dynasty, stationed with 200,000 guards. The leader is the demon king Cheng Biting Jin, who is known as the first military general under Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty. As the first important town of the Tang Border Pass, Yanmen Pass has a decisive strategic significance. Of course, Cheng Yanjin, as a military general with a second-rate master's realm, is full of force. But the strategy is almost negligible generals, it is impossible for Datang to entrust the first important town in the north to Cheng Yanjin with peace of mind. So under Cheng Biting Jin, there are two deputy generals.

One is Hou Junji, Hou Junji, although he is a little arrogant. But whether it is in the Xuanwumen Revolution or in the crusade wars, he has made outstanding achievements and has amazing force, which has won the appreciation of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and is a powerful general under Li Jing's account.

The other is Su Dingfang, the general of Zuo Wuwei. A military wizard who is not under Hou Junji in terms of combat strength, and military strategy is a military wizard praised by the military god Li Jing. Winter is approaching, and it is the time when the Turks are short of food, so the imperial court has lowered three generals to guard the gate three times in a row, in case the Turks due to food problems, the army will press the border and loot the border towns.

When Lin Yi, Jia Xiong and others converged with Hou Junji, along the way, Hou Junji also heard what Lin Yi had done, and Jia Xiong's speculation also reached Hou Junji's ears. Although Jia Xiong is not small and his knowledge is extraordinary, after all, he is just a martial artist with the strength of a non-elite martial artist. Unlike Hou Junji, Hou Junji has stepped into the third-rate martial artist realm for many years, and now he is trying to break through to the second-rate realm martial king, so I heard what everyone said combined with his own speculation, Hou Junji can already confirm 100% that Lin Yi is definitely a Buddhist monk with a second-rate realm, although Lin Yi vetoed the fact that he is a monk, but it is estimated that no one will really believe it......

This is really a desperate age, a second-rate realm Buddhist monk less than 20? Is it from Shaolin Temple or Wutai Mountain? From the beginning of confirming his guess, Hou Junji had mixed feelings in his heart, how could it not be a taste, I heard that he was going to Chang'an, could it be that he was also because of the martial arts event a year ago?

Just as Lin Yi and the others were on their way to Yanmen Pass, in Yanmen Pass, inside a main hall. The main seat sits a bearded, dark-skinned, golden armor, cynical man, this person is the commander of the Yanmen Pass Xuanwu Army Zhenbei Legion, the demon king of the mixed world Cheng bites gold. On Cheng Yanjin's right hand, there was a middle-aged man wearing silver armor and giving people an elegant spring breeze, who was the deputy commander of the Zhenbei Army of the Xuanwu Army in Yanmen Pass, Su Dingfang. If it weren't for the general armor wearing the Tang Dynasty, I don't think anyone would associate these two with the two invincible Tang generals who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield and stepped on the blood of countless enemies.

Cheng Yanjin picked up the wine jar at his feet and poured himself a sip of wine, "Refreshing, haha!" I will go out to the army with you Su Dingfang, and my old Cheng will have the opportunity to drink so happily in the barracks! ”

Su Dingfang couldn't deny what he said, "Lao Cheng's words are bad, it's not that Su doesn't want to care." In the world, who doesn't know that the demon king of the mixed world, Cheng bites gold, is not good for money, bad power, and bad lust, so he has to take this mouth? Su Mou has to be able to manage it if he wants to! ”

"That's what I said, but you know my old Cheng. If Li Shilian is here, maybe he will have to think about how to join me ruthlessly, hahaha! Speaking of which, it seemed that something came to mind, "Anyway, Hou Junji, that kid has been out for a while, and it should be time to come back." It's okay for you to let him go alone, right? It's a pity that I drank too much last night, otherwise this trip should have been Lao Cheng and I'd go! ”

Su Dingfang raised his forehead and shook his head, fortunately, there is not much war now, otherwise Cheng Bites Jin like this..., Su Dingfang felt that by that time, he would definitely choose to dispose of his military law and transfer him out of this 'Longtan Tiger's Den'.

"According to the spy report, the Turks only sent the one-eyed madman Altai and the smiling boy Tuli Maxi to 'hunt', and there are already two brothers Yang Yi and Yang Sheng in Jia Xiong's caravan, plus Hou Junji and the Hundred Battles team, this trip can be said to be nine out of ten, you can rest assured." When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he didn't know if he listened to it, and he looked indifferent, "These twists and turns, Lao Cheng doesn't understand." I Lao Cheng can only kill people, especially Turkic barbarians. It's too brain-consuming to arrange the troops, so you can arrange it. Next time, if you have a chance to kill the enemy, you must wake up Lao Cheng! When Su Dingfang heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to change the topic, "In the blink of an eye, a year is almost over, and I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to hold the martial arts conference this year." "Hearing about the fight, Cheng Biting Jin's wine was much more sober, his eyes lit up, and then it darkened again." What's there to worry about. said that it was a martial arts conference, so you have to give everyone a chance to show yourself. But the military division (Li Jing) has to add a restriction, only to those under thirty, what. Just watch a bunch of dolls fight! ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "Old Cheng, you are wrong. The martial arts conference held by the military division this time has another profound meaning. In addition to our older generation of generals, the reserve strength of the younger generation is an important factor in determining the future trend. The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, in order to win a hundred battles. The military advisor did not hesitate to promise the top ten winners, and at the same time, these ten victors will also receive the title of ten sons recognized by all countries. The military division did this to ask all countries to pay attention to this martial arts conference, and if their own people could win the top ten, it would be fame and fortune. At the same time, we can also take a closer look at the level of the younger generation in each country. ”

After listening to what Su Dingfang said, Cheng Yanjin shook his head and sighed with an impatient face, "If you want me to say, where is the need for so much trouble." As long as the military advisor waves his hand, he will point to where to fight. Lao Cheng is by no means ambiguous, he has to kill those small countries in Fanbang! Hum! ”

Seeing Cheng Biting Jin like this, Su Dingfang also understood what it meant to play the piano to the cow. Su Dingfang still hasn't said a word, there are pros and cons to everything, and this is indeed a close observation of the younger generation of various countries, but what if I lose Datang? I can't afford to lose!
