The king of Tianxia Qin ordered the eagle letter to be sent to Luoyang, and sent an urgent letter of 800 li from Luoyang to all parts of the world, asking all parts of the country to rush to Yanmen County to rescue the driver.

The order of the king of the world is like a boulder falling into a calm well, which temporarily stirs up stormy waves in various places, and the troops in various places temporarily stop suppressing bandits and prepare to rush to Yanmen to rescue the driver, but more counties take the opportunity to recruit troops under the pretext of saving the driver, and the signs of chaos in the world begin to emerge quietly.

Despite the fierce and resolute attitude of the armies in various places, only three armies were the first to take action.

In Yi County, Shanggu County, a Sui army of 20,000 people is swearing in front of Puyin, each of them has a white cloth wrapped around his helmet, and the word 'must die' is written on it, and a big flag as high as three zhang is prepared, and the flag is written with the four big characters of 'saving the king like a father', and everyone is impassioned, as if they are ready to die for the country.

This army is naturally Wang Shichong's Huainan Army, due to the invasion of Qi County in Qinghe County caused trouble, Wang Shichong was transferred to Shanggu County to suppress bandits, a year has passed, he only exterminated a few small-scale bandits, as for Wei Dao'er, Wang Basu, Lu Mingyue and other bandits, he has no contact at all, he does not want to consume the army in this kind of meaningless banditry.

But Wang Shichong has an ability that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, that is, he is good at seizing opportunities, when the news of the alliance with the Turkic Khan came when the news of the northern tour of the Son of Heaven and the state came to prepare for the alliance with the Turkic Khan, Wang Shichong felt the danger of the alliance, he sent someone to Taiyuan to inquire about the news, and when the order of the king of Ziqin was issued, Wang Shichong immediately got up, and he wanted to seize the opportunity to change his fate.

Although Wang Shichong did not have many troops, he had a geographical advantage, and his Shanggu County had a valley road through Taihang Mountain to Yanmen County, that is, the Laishui River Valley, starting from Yi County, and taking Puyin to Feihu County. Then from the Flying Fox County to the Flying Fox can reach the Lingqiu County of Yanmen County, the whole journey is about 300 miles, although the road is difficult and dangerous, but can walk the cavalry, since ancient times it is a way for the northern iron cavalry to enter Youzhou.

"General Qiyu, the team has been assembled!" A general urged him to step forward. Report to Wang Shichong, who is standing on the mound.

Wang Shichong's eyes narrowed, his sword waved, and he shouted: "Go!" ”

The army of 20,000 began to march out of the field and toward a valley miles away.

At this time, Li Yuan already had military power, from the previous Taiyuan to the 10,000 troops in Hedong today, Li Yuan urgently needed to use practical actions to show his loyalty to the Great Sui Empire.

Yun Dingxing suffered heavy losses in the attack on Lou Fu Pass, with more than 10,000 troops suffering casualties. had to retreat to Taiyuan for rectification, he actually hoped that Li Yuan could recruit troops to join his team and go north with him to rescue the Son of Heaven.

Just as the order of King Qin of Heaven reached Taiyuan, Li Yuan began to recruit soldiers in Taiyuan County, and the recruits were enthusiastic, and 10,000 troops were raised in just two days. Follow Yun Dingxing to Lou Fu Pass.

Under Li Yuan's banner, the young Li Shimin was wearing Mingguang armor. Wearing a blood eagle helmet, a snow dragon horse under his crotch, and holding a fifty-pound horse lance, Li Shimin is eighteen years old this year, and when his eldest brother Li Jiancheng has been away for a long time, Li Shimin has gradually become the pillar of the Li family. Become the right-hand man of his father Li Yuan.

He whispered to his father: "Father, the 10,000 troops we recruited this time have not undergone strict training, and they are still a group of rabble, and they will be defeated in a battle on the battlefield, and they cannot follow General Yun's arrangement to go to the front army." We must persist in being the rear army, and only in this way can we ensure the integrity of the army. ”

Li Yuan nodded, "Wu'er has a point, I'm just worried that I will be criticized for the rear army all the time." ”

Next to the long Shi Pei Lin smiled: "Why should Li Gong care about other people's opinions, we are going to King Qin, the key is the matter of attitude, as long as we are sincere and positive to King Qin, even if we do not fight with the Turkic army, the Son of Heaven will still appreciate Li Gong's loyalty, as for the battle with the Turkic army, there are so many troops in the world who come to fight King Qin, and there is no shortage of Li Gong's army." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Uncle Pei Shi's words are reasonable, but you still have to pretend to be one." ”

Li Shimin said to his father Li Yuan again: "Father, the child is willing to lead a group of scouts to the north as the vanguard and fight under the banner of his father, so that his father will not be criticized even if he is the rear army." ”

Pei Lin praised: "Childe's plan is wonderful, as long as there is Li Gong's army in front and Gongzi himself leads, it can indeed block many people's mouths!" ”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to his son's request, nodding, "Erlang be careful!" ”

"The child understands, please rest assured father!"

Li Shimin rode his horse to the north, only to hear him shout: "The scout army comes with me!" He galloped north with a cavalry scout of three hundred men.

Pei Lin looked at Li Shimin's back and said with a smile: "The second son is decisive and daring, wise and brave, but he is so young, he will become a great weapon in the future!" ”

Li Yuan said lightly: "He can't do it yet, he is still too far behind Da Lang, even if he is a genius, but if he lacks adversity training, it is still difficult to achieve great things." ”。

After ten consecutive days of strong attack by 100,000 Sui troops, Loufu Pass finally crumbled, and the Turkic army guarding the pass could not hold on, but at this time the Sui army had paid a heavy price of nearly 30,000 casualties, and even the general Xue Shixiong was hit by a rolling stone and was seriously wounded, Xue Shixiong's army was forced to withdraw to Loufu Pass 20 miles away, and Yun Dingxing came to continue the siege.

On this morning, Li Shimin led 300 scouts to Loufu Pass, under the dazzling sunlight, he took a closer look at the pass, and felt that something was not right, and there was not a single Turkic soldier on the pass.

"Maybe the Turks are hiding behind the walls!" A scout said.

Li Shimin shook his head, pointed to the leftmost watchtower and said, "Isn't it strange that there is no one on the watchtower?" ”

"Childe, I'll take my brother to see!"

The scout lieutenant waved his hand, "The first team comes with me!" ”

More than a dozen cavalry scouts followed the captain and rushed to the city wall, Li Shimin's eyes were grim, watching every detail of the city, the Sui army had rushed to the city gate, the city was still quiet, and no Turkic soldiers appeared.

Li Shimin turned around and shouted, "All the brothers come up with me!"

He urged the horse to run towards the pass, and the three hundred cavalry followed him closely, and after a while, they smashed open the gate of the Lou Fu Pass, and killed it with a knife, and sure enough, it was not guessed wrong by Li Shimin, the Lou Fu Pass was empty, and it had become an empty pass, and there was not a single Turkic soldier, and three hundred Sui soldiers rushed to the city and cheered.

A quarter of an hour later, the general Yun Dingxing led the army to kill, heard that the Turks had evacuated Lou Fu Pass, Yun Dingxing was overjoyed, he was secretly glad that Xue Shixiong did not kill the pass first, now no matter what, it was he Yun Dingxing who took the Lou Fu Pass, and he took the initiative in front of the Son of Heaven.

Yun Dingxing urged the horse into the building, and Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See the general!" ”

Yun Dingxing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Li Gongzi is really a lucky general, he has captured the Lou Fu Pass and made great contributions, from now on, I will officially crown you as a captain!" ”

"Thank you for the general's support, but there is a word for the humble position, I hope the general will consider it!"

"You say!"

"I feel that the Turkic army's abandonment of Loufu Pass is actually a trap, and they must have set up a large army to wait in front, just waiting for us to enter the trap and be surrounded and killed by them, please think twice."

Yun Dingxing's brows furrowed, of course he knew that Li Shimin was reasonable, but if he didn't support the troops and didn't go to Yanmen to save the driver, then his crime would not be light, but if he went to rescue the driver and fell into the trap of the Turks, it would be equally difficult to escape, and he found himself in a dilemma.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In fact, General Yun can also lead but not provoke, contain the Turkic army in Mayi County, the Turkic army is small, you can attack with all your strength, the Turkic army can retreat and defend the pass without fighting, the initiative is in the hands of the general, so that the pressure on Yanmen County can be reduced, in fact, it is a kind of siege relief." ”

Yun Dingxing was greatly surprised, this Li Shimin looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, his thinking was so clear, and his vision was more far-reaching than ordinary people, it was estimated that the Turkic army did not expect that they would be pinned down in Mayi County instead, he said happily: "The virtuous nephew is reasonable, we decided like this!" ”

Li Shimin clenched his fists again and asked: "The key to this strategy is to grasp the strength of the Turkic army, we must strengthen intelligence, and we are willing to lead the scout army to the north to investigate." ”

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and bowed down to report: "General Qiyu, Zhang Xuan's vanguard has arrived!" (To be continued.)
