Sulman was violent, Zhang Pu was demoralized, and after more than ten years, Ying Li lost again, and Zhang Yu retreated to defend the Mingsha fortress.

It was close to Lingzhou, and Yang Jiye transferred soldiers and horses from Lingzhou to help, and finally stopped Suerman's advance.

In this battle, the Hui people played a majestic morale, but the Mingsha River Fortress was a defensive pass built by Yang Jiye, and it is said that he also sent Lingzhou soldiers and horses to help, even if only with Zhangpu's men and horses, relying on this Xiongguan, Suerman is also difficult to overcome. When Sulman captured Yingli City, he seized some ordnance and equipment to attack and defend the city, and all of them were transported to Mingsha City, but it was still difficult to make progress with these ordnance, and reinforcements from Xingzhou were endless.

Although Aguli had compromised and become Sulman's accomplice, the person who contacted Li Jiyun's side had always been Suerman, and he was the only one in the Hui army who knew the current situation in Xingzhou best, and he also understood that although Xingzhou was currently heavily armed, the situation was very delicate. Once his soldiers and horses approach the city of Xingzhou, it will be like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling oil pot, which will definitely burn Yang Hao's forehead.

However, with his current strength, it is no longer enough to shake the Mingsha Fortress, even if he can conquer Mingsha City, Lingzhou City up the Mingsha River, it is not something that his current forces can easily capture, in view of this, Sulman has frequent contact with Li Jiyun's messengers, and on the other hand, he sent people back to Ganzhou to bring reinforcements to Aguli Khan.

He has done what he can, and according to the agreement, it is time for Li Jijun to fulfill his promise. On the Ganzhou side, Mu Kui was blocked in the west of Ganzhou City, Ganzhou was as stable as Mount Tai, and now it was also the time to draw out troops, and almost all of the six or nine prime ministers in the DPRK and China were his people, which was enough to sway Aguli and send troops to aid him.

In fact, there is no need for Sulman to report, Li Jiyun has also been understanding the situation in Western Xia, once he received Sulman's request for help, Li Jiyun felt that the time was ripe, and immediately began to act, he first repeated the old trick, sent people to attack Yang Yanlang's garrison in Douling, led it to attack, and led the water to the east, so that it could directly fight with Huyan Aobo. Then he reported the situation of Xingzhou to Huyan Aobo, and promised to come out of the nest and concentrate all his forces to cooperate with the battle.

Although Huyan Aobo was arrogant and arrogant, he obeyed his brother Shang Boqian, and he was not bewitched by Li Jiyun, but reported the matter to Shang Boqian and asked for his opinion. Shang Boqian had just defeated the coalition forces of Yeluosu and Luo Dan, and it was when he was complacent, when he heard about the civil strife in Hexi, and Li Jiyun was willing to devote his whole clan to help in this battle, he immediately agreed.

A threat from the inside of Longyou now seems to be nothing to fear, since Tong Yu's Bashu rebels surrendered to him, his strength is unprecedented, Tong Yu's 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 20,000 light cavalry of the recruited Longyou thief Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing and others, defeated and retreated at night, only the power of parry, no fight back, now since there is a chance to disturb Hexi, and there is a chance to drive Li Jiyun back to Hexi to fend for himself, no matter how you calculate, it is a advantage, if you succeed, it is good, Once it fails, it is just a matter of still retreating to Xiao Pass.

Huyan Ao won Shang Boqian's reply, and immediately supported Xiao Guan's affairs, gathered troops and horses, joined forces with Li Jiyun, and killed Hexi.

The dangerous terrain of Xiaoguan was under the control of Huyan Aobo, and the clansmen who surrendered from the Cangshi tribe were familiar with the internal situation of the Xixia camp.

The Tubo army of Xiaoguan and Li Jiyun's party army joined forces to go north, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and Douling was lost in the evening of the next rì, and Yang Yanlang was forced to lead the remnants of the defeated army to withdraw from Douling, and all the key passes that Hexi Longyou had always fought for fell into the hands of Huyan Aobo. Huyan Aobo made great contributions to this time, and the two men and horses of the original Cangshi tribe made great contributions, and they also completely gained his trust, and they were incorporated into his own pro-army by him, and they only rested for a while, and then they kept killing and rewarding them......

The situation is grim, and Xingzhou is full of rumors. Since Yang Hao personally conquered Yumen Pass and established the country, it has been a long time since such a large-scale court meeting has been held, and today, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and all the generals from all walks of life have gathered in the court hall to discuss strategies to deal with the incoming enemy.

Ding Chengzong said solemnly: "The current situation is already obvious, Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun are not only taking advantage of people's danger, but also have a secret plot with Suerman. Everyone, please see, Sulman went out of Ganzhou, went around Liangzhou, Ke Yingli, and attacked Mingsha. And Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun will first take Douling, and then attack the reward port, there is no danger to defend the reward port, Yang Yanlang has limited troops, once it is conquered, Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun can go north directly along the Hulu River. ”

He took a deep breath and said: "The Hulu River and the Mingsha River converge in Mingsha City, and these two groups of people are obviously going to join forces in Mingsha City, pass through the gorge, Keshun Prefecture, and go straight to our capital Xingzhou." If they conquer the gorge, then they can drive straight into the capital, the king, the gorge must not be lost, must appoint a famous general, the gorge will be guarded by an iron wall, Xingzhou will be safe. ”

Yang Hao's expression today is also very dignified, and his arrogant demeanor since he was proclaimed king is gone: "What Ding Qing said is reasonable, so ...... Which general should guard the gorge? ”

His gaze swept over the generals one by one, and all the generals were silent. Yang Hao's most warlike Ai Yihai is now guarding Hengshan with Zhang Chongwei, and the most loyal Mu En and Mu Kui are blocked west of Ganzhou, and although the rest of the generals are all good fighters, they still have some insufficient ability to stand alone.

Yang Hao nodded to the generals, but the generals did not dare to answer, the court was quiet for a while, Yang Jiye coughed lightly, and went out of the class to play: "King, General Cheng Shixiong is brave and good at fighting, and he used to defend Guangyuan alone, directly into the Song Realm, and can attack and defend, he is a rare good general. ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he happily turned to Cheng Shixiong: "General Cheng, you are willing to guard the mouth of the gorge for this king and block the enemy army." ”

Cheng Shixiong Huo Ran came out of class, clenched his fists with both hands, and the armor leaves on his body rang out: "The minister is willing to receive the decree and guard the mouth of the gorge." ”

He hesitated for a moment, then added, "But...... The mouth of the gorge is nothing but a big river, and there is no other danger. The east side of the gorge is less than 100 miles, it is Lingzhou, which can be the echo of the gorge, if the minister guards the gorge, Lu has a member who can judge the situation and be good at attacking and defending the general sitting in Lingzhou, and the minister has no worries. ”

Yang Hao thought for a moment and said: "Mingsha City is obviously undefensible, so it is better to take the initiative to retreat and transfer Zhangpu to guard Lingzhou." As long as the two of you clamp Lingzhou and the mouth of the gorge to the death, you can block the enemy and the outside. ”

He smiled coldly and said, "It's late autumn now, and it won't be long before it's the middle of snow." The enemy's food and grass are limited, and we are in the city, and the enemy is in the field, by that time, the matter of accumulating autumn grass has ended, and this king can also stand up all the tribal masters of the party clans, since these enemies are here, they don't want to flee back! ”

"The king, the minister is against it!"

As soon as Yang Hao's voice fell, he went out of the class and said: "Zhang Di has always been close to Tuoba Han Chan and other tribal chieftains who refuse to be tamed. Although Yingli City is not easy to defend, it is not easy to conquer, all because Zhang Pu passively responded to the battle, so it was taken advantage of by the enemy.

The rewards and punishments for governing the army are clear, although Zhang Pu has made some contributions in the past, but now that he has suffered defeats, he should have been taken back to Beijing to investigate his crimes, the existence of the gorge is related to the safety of our capital, so important, how can it be handed over to a person like Zhang Zhu? How can I put the safety of my capital in the hands of such a person? Let Zhang Pu retreat to the gorge or Lingzhou, and listen to it in front of General Cheng or the Lingzhou guards, how can he be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility? The minister thought that when another member of the army was sent to use the army like a god, a safe and reliable general, Xingzhou would be solid. ”

Everyone said: "The appearance and Zhang Pu have always been incompatible, how can there be a reason not to beat the water dogs, but Zhang Dudu is not angry, even eat a few defeats, this time if he can't be appointed as the Lingzhou guard, and make great contributions, I'm afraid he will no longer have a chance to turn over when he is liquidated afterwards." ”

Yang Hao listened to it but thought it was true, and said: "What Chongqing said is also true, but ...... Who can do this? ”

Cheng Shixiong has a high position and old qualifications, and he also had the merit of promoting Yang Hao at the beginning, this Lingzhou guard general not only has to be wise and brave, but also has to be qualified to command and dispatch him.

Yang Hao's generals are only a few people such as Zhang Pu, Mu En, and Mu Kui, so Yang Hao opened his mouth to choose Zhang Pu, in fact, he also has his considerations, and now he has been vetoed by the seeds, and it is difficult to find such a person.

Chong Fang smiled slightly and said: "The king's subordinates are full of ministers, and the fierce generals are like clouds, so why is it difficult to find a famous general?" Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War is both wise and brave, and uses soldiers like gods, isn't he the best candidate? ”

Yang Hao was slightly stunned: "Yang Shangshu ......" He glanced at Yang Jiye and hesitated: "Yang Qing can guard Lingzhou, but Yang Qing is the secretary of the military department, and he still needs to sit in Beijing." ”

Chong Fang said: "King, if the gorge can't be defended, how can Xingzhou be defended?" The matter is urgent, and at a critical juncture, the royal driver can also be recruited in person, not to mention the military department? ”

Yang Jiye smiled slightly, and bowed his hand: "King, the minister is willing to guard Lingzhou and defend the safety of the capital side by side with General Cheng." ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed and said: "Okay, Yang Qing is really loyal, in this case, Yang Qing will guard Lingzhou, Cheng Qing will guard the mouth of the gorge, and Zhang Pu and Yang Yanlang will listen to it in front of your formation." The two generals are Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao of this king, with you two gate gods, what else can be under the eyes of this king? This? Hahaha......"

The special service and Merlu official Mina Muya led 20,000 palace guards to help Sulman. Meru is the chief of the royal family, and his position is almost the same as that of Sulman, and the secret service is the prince, and the title is comparable to that of the vice-king of Surman's wife, so as soon as the girl Mina Muya came, Hu Lao Wen led the chiefs of his clan and the generals of the Hu Lao Wen tribe to welcome him out ceremoniously.

It's late autumn, and the sky is crisp. The army galloped in the distance, like a long dragon, an eagle in the sky let out a loud chirp, and more than a hundred guards escorted a pretty woman in yellow shirt to the front of Suerman.

Yellow shirts, small hats, countless braids hanging down behind their shoulders, and very neatly saddled and dismounted, the female prince walked generously towards Sulman, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. is worthy of being the descendant of Princess Xian'an of the Tang Dynasty, and the posture of this Mina Muya girl is not inferior to Aguli Khan.

That face is the most beautiful melon seed face, with skin like clotted fat; The eyes are watery, looking forward to life; The eyebrows are slender and long, like two rounds of crescents; The waist, the windward swing, the slender waist dance lingers in the snow; The jade fingers are plain arms, thin waist and snow skin, red makeup and whitewash, the limbs are fragrant, the lotus steps move lightly, and the posture is beautiful, and there are five points of heroism, five points of beauty, delicate and elegant, and can not be square.

"Hehehe, the secret service lord has been working hard all the way on the saddle horse."

Sulman strode up to meet him, smiling adorably, the beautiful Mina Muya smiled charmingly, her eyes were full of anticipation, and her expression was bright: "Lord Ye Hu is polite, Lord Ye Hu is invincible all the way, like a bamboo, Khan is overjoyed when he hears it, this time I brought troops, and Khan also specially ordered me to command and dispatch, and all obey Lord Ye Hu's arrangement." Yikes! The city in front of you is Mingsha City, right? ”

Sulman was greatly satisfied when he heard this, and smiled kindly: "Yes, that city is Mingsha City. ”

The beautiful woman wrinkled her nose coquettishly: "It doesn't look very high, it seems that this girl jumped directly onto the city as soon as she lifted the reins of her horse, such a small city, shouldn't be able to stop Lord Sulman and the brave warriors from advancing?" ”

Sulman laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, the special service lord said well, just a Mingsha city, how can it stop the hooves of our Hui warriors, now that the special service has brought reinforcements, we will soon be able to set foot on the Mingsha, take Xingzhou directly, and cut off Yang Hao's head." When the secret service returns to Ganzhou, we can present our khan with a jīng churn made of Yang Hao's head......"

"Have his head as an oil lamp? Bah, baba, children's words, the wind blows, people are reluctant, it's almost the same to use your head to make a night pot! The little beauty glanced at him dissatisfied, but unfortunately in Suerman's eyes, she didn't smell anything, she only felt that the little beauty was charming and charming, well, ......, the wind swayed willow-like figure was also fragrant......

Although the old guy is over the age of six, he was glanced at by the little beauty, and his bones were not lighter.

At the head of Mingsha City, Zhang Pu looked at the scene of the convergence of the two armies in the camp of the Hui people five miles away from the city, with a hazy face. Erwei Shusheng, the head of the Pofeng tribe who took the initiative to come to Mingsha's aid, stood behind him and muttered: "The Hui people have increased their troops again, Mingsha...... I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Zhang Pu gritted his teeth and said: "If I lose again, I Zhangpu will never have a place to turn over, this Mingsha is the place where my Zhangpu succeeds or fails, and there is no way out." ”

Erwei Shusheng's eyes rolled slightly, and he said softly: "How could the general think so? In fact, for the general, victory is better than defeat, and Mingsha is better than abandonment. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Pu Huoran turned his head, his eyes were like two cold lightning, staring at Er Wei Shusheng's face: "What do you mean by this?" ”
