The wild goose gate was surrounded, and the world shook.

Yang Guang is extremely complex, and thousands of people have thousands of readings. For Empress Xiao, it is a lifetime of waiting, since she married Yang Guang at the age of twelve, she has always adhered to women's morals, and now more than 30 years have passed, although her face is still there, but her mood is vicissitudes. How many more thirty years can there be for a woman? Yang Guang has a bad temper and more women, but she has always said that she has been trained for a long time, and she has given her enough face. Although she knew that there were countless women around Yang Guang, there was only one in her heart, but that woman was not her, but she was already content, as an emperor, there were only a handful in history who could do this to the queen.

For the people, Yang Guang is not a good emperor, and can only be described as a tyrant, when he heard that he was trapped in Yanmen, he wished that he would die early, but when he heard that Yang Guang issued an edict and no longer conquered Liaodong, the people were shocked again, Yang Guang certainly made the people unhappy, but who can guarantee that after he died, there would be no worse emperor? As long as Liaodong is not conquered, the Great Sui is still very good, and Yang Guang can also be forgiven.

Yang Guang's edict not to conquer Liaodong was excited, and the people were also called to the difficulty, but for Li Shimin, Yang Guang was already a burden for him.

He originally thought that being valued by the emperor was a good thing, and it was also a thing worth showing off, but after Li Xuanba's death, he found out that being valued by the emperor was a painful thing.

When he came out of the house, he was somewhat dazed, he didn't know what he should do now.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly chased after him from behind, grabbed Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, where are you going?" ”

For this eldest brother, Li Shimin sincerely respected, "Big brother, I want to enlist in the army." ”

"Okay, why do you want to join the army?" Li Jiancheng frowned.

"No why." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled wryly. He used to make knives and sticks all the time, yearning for fencing and being a hero, but since Li Xuanba's death, he has changed a lot. He finally understood that his martial arts will never be as good as his brother Li Xuanba, but Li Xuanba's profound martial arts will inevitably die, and he will rely on martial arts in his life, don't think about revenge.

"I know why." A voice said coldly.

Li Shimin clenched his fists, Huo Ran turned around, and saw Li Yuanji's face that was a little underbeaten.

Glancing at Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin finally suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Yuanji, I don't want to quarrel with you." ”

Li Yuanji sneered, "Why don't you want to quarrel with me?" You don't have a ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of arguing? ”

Li Shimin endured the repeated anger to explode all of a sudden, stepped forward and said: "Li Yuanji, I don't want to quarrel with you, just because you are my fourth brother, what ghost do I have in my heart?" You make it clear! ”

"Motoyoshi." Li Jiancheng said sharply: "You don't want to do nothing anymore, do you really want to force the people away?" Come home with me. ”

He reached out to pull Li Shimin, Li Shimin took a step back, shook his head and said, "I'm annoyed, I don't want to go back." Big brother, can you let me be quiet? ”

"Yes, you are very annoying, when your father was by your side, he always advised you to practice military law, but you always didn't listen, and you didn't learn to dance with guns and sticks. You Lao Tzu was trapped in Yanmen City, and you changed your surname all of a sudden, and you just want to join the army to save Lao Tzu? ”

Li Shimin's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and wanted to fight, but Li Yuanji straightened his neck, "Big brother, you want to beat me?" Li Jiancheng sighed and put down his hand helplessly, "Shimin, Yuanji, I was just about to tell you something, but now that the Holy Goose Gate is besieged, the Central Plains is shocked." As a Shanxi, his father is an ambassador of Hedong comfort, and he should be responsible for saving King Qin. It's just that the Turkic army is strong, and the troops in Shanxi and Hedong are not enough to resist, and now my father has asked for troops in the eastern capital. He asked us to go to Hedong to help recruit first, and if Shimin wanted to recruit into the army, he could actually go to Hedong first. ”

Li Shimin frowned, and said in his heart, let's go to Hedong first, and then go to Yanmen County, obviously turning back and going around, what is the intention of my father's order?

"Actually, what is my father doing to save the king, wouldn't it be better to let him die, he has been bullying his father all his life, I have long seen him unpleasant, but some people are always smug about getting his favor." Li Yuanji said suddenly.

Li Jiancheng's face changed color, and seeing that there were no pedestrians around, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Yuanji, what do you want to do, don't you know that what you just said is enough to destroy our Li family?" ”

"With Li Shimin here, how is it possible." Li Yuanji flattened his mouth and said.

Li Jiancheng frowned, but Li Yuanji has always been favored by his father because of his youth, and many times, his eldest brother is powerless even if he teaches a lesson.

"Li Shimin, are you going to Hedong to apply?" Li Yuanji asked defiantly.

Li Shimin turned around and left, Li Yuanji wanted to say something, but he was pulled by Li Jiancheng, frowned and said: "Yuanji, what is the awkwardness between you and Shimin, you have to quarrel every day." ”

"I just can't get used to seeing my father get angry, but he still accepts the reward of the dog emperor comfortably." Li Yuanji glanced around, "Big brother, in fact, my father has been ridiculed by that dog emperor all his life, this time he finally got the opportunity, what else to recruit?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin who had already left, and shook his head helplessly, "Yuanji, why are you so ignorant, although the Turkic soldiers are strong this time, but Daddy said that the Turkic soldiers are not good at attacking the city, and it is inevitable that the army will be discouraged if it is unprofitable, and they are in a hurry, and they may not be able to break through Yanmen City." When the siege of Yanmen City is lifted, Daddy is only afraid that the anger of the saint will not be able to break out, and most of the unfavorable recruits will be heavily responsible. Daddy is the comfort ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, and he must be the first to bear the brunt, in this case, how can Daddy not do superficial articles? However, fortunately, the imperial court has always been afraid of his military power, and this time it was a blessing in disguise, and it was better not for him to lead troops to fight. ”

Li Yuanji blinked and said, "You mean Daddy doesn't want to ...... either"

Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand and patted Li Yuanji's shoulder, and sighed: "Yuanji, it's not easy to be an official in the court, and it's also difficult for my father to do it, don't you embarrass the people of the world, okay?" ”

Li Yuanji snorted, Li Jiancheng watched Li Yuanji grow up, how he didn't understand his thoughts. The Li family has never been ambitious, they all grew up in the shadow of Yang Guang, Li Yuanji is still young, and he will be somewhat unwilling to see Li Shimin's scenery, the third child is dead, and his resentment naturally comes out of Li Shimin's body. But fortunately, he was a brother in the war, and he was a father and son soldier, and he knew that Li Shimin knew the general situation, but he was not afraid of anything else.

"Then Daddy still asked us to go to Hedong to recruit soldiers?" Li Yuanji asked suddenly.

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Daddy just doesn't want us to go to war, so he arranged this kind of thing for us to do, I didn't expect to be angry with you, I estimate that most of the people will go directly to Jiangxian County to find Yun Dingxing, the general of the Tunwei who recruited soldiers there." In this way, the people of the world are in danger, even if my father doesn't say it, how can I rest assured. ”

"Didn't he boast that he was brave and invincible, and he couldn't die." Li Yuanji flattened.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "You wait for me, I'll go to him, everyone is a brother, why bother to turn against each other." ”

Li Yuanji snorted, and when Li Jiancheng turned around, he saw that he was alone, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What's the matter, does he still have to put on a fight?" ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "I don't know where he went!" ”

**When Li Shimin came to Jiangxian County, he only saw refugees fleeing the famine everywhere.

Although it is still far away from Yanmen County, Yanmen County is trapped, and the people of Loufu, Taiyuan, Lishi, Xihe and other counties who go south along the Fenshui River began to flee early, and the people were panicked.

Jiangxian County is near Longmen, in the south of the Bird Mouse Valley, there is a Bird Mouse Valley to be guarded, and it has become a place of refuge for the people.

There are many people who have taken refuge, but there are very few conscripts, and the people are hesitating and calculating, whether Yang Guangying should be rescued, and whether the military salary is worth his life. When Li Shimin found Yun Dingxing, he almost didn't know this Zuotunwei general, and Yun Dingxing looked more than ten years old.

Yun Dingxing's life can also be said to be ups and downs, his daughter was the prince's Zhaoxun, and he, the old man, valued women and showed off for a while. Unexpectedly, the crown prince Yang Yong was abolished by Queen Dugu because he doted on his daughter. After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, of course, he would not have any good colors for his eldest brother's father-in-law, and almost deposed Yun Dingxing as a citizen. Fortunately, Yun Dingxing's mind is more active, and he bribed Yuwenshu with money to buy himself a Shaofucheng, and later he was promoted to the general of Zuotunwei, which can be regarded as a dead wood in spring.

Among the Twelve Wei Mansions, strictly speaking, the generals of the Left and Right Tunwei Mansions are the lightest, mainly in charge of the Twelve Army Accounts, and the affairs of the Bad Branch, Yun Dingxing never expected to be able to be the same as Yuwen Shu, he only felt that Zuo Tunwei was already his own peak, and he could do things with peace of mind. I didn't expect him to want to feel at ease, but the Turks made such a big move. If Li Yuan's recruitment of people is still a sideline, his duty is to recruit soldiers and go to Yanmen County to relieve the siege, but a few days have passed in an instant, looking at the few conscripts, Yun Dingxing wants to cry without tears.

His hard work in a few days was even more difficult than in a few years, but he knew that he couldn't delay it, and he was preparing to go to Yanmen County to meet the situation no matter what, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to come uninvited.

The moment he saw Li Shimin, Yun Dingxing was overjoyed, "Shimin, but Ling Zun sent you?" ”

When Li Shimin saw the sparse Lala recruits outside the tent, he already understood a little, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Yun Dingxing's enthusiasm has decreased a lot.

"Enlistment." Li Shimin's words are simple and clear.

At the beginning of his military career, it was just an idea, but when he really put it into action, he inevitably had some faint excitement in his heart, and some impatience.

He has been dancing with guns and sticks for a long time, and he is also skilled in bows and arrows and pommel horses, but it is the first time he has thought of fighting in the army.

Yun Dingxing frowned and said: "Ling Zun is also responsible for recruiting people from all over the world in Hedong now to go to the national disaster, why don't the people of the world go there?" ”

"Isn't this closer?" Li Shimin said solemnly: "Knowing that the saint is in danger, the people of the world can't wait to fly to Yanmen County, but they only hate being alone, so they came to General Yun." ”

Yun Dingxing was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart, you kid don't know how thick the sky is, I am a little stunned when this leader fights, what can you do. He knew that Li Yuan was now showing signs of becoming popular, and he knew that if Li Shimin joined the military formation, he would always take care of it, and the credit belonged to Li Shimin, but if Li Yuan's son died in the military formation, it would inevitably be thankless.

Just as he was thinking of a way to push the way, Li Shimin had already said: "General Yun, Shimin came to join the army, in order to save the saint, he had already put life and death aside, you don't have to think about your father." If the general is afraid of trouble......"

"General Yun, the generals are all ready, I don't know when to leave?" Ichipan will come in in a hurry to make a statement.

Yun Dingxing was too late to make trouble, and he couldn't think about Li Shimin anymore. Li Shimin's life and death are no longer within his consideration, but at the moment, his most important consideration is his own safety.

"Rescue soldiers is like fighting fire, set off immediately."

**Yun Dingxing came out of the military tent, and after looking at the account of the book, there were more than 10,000 soldiers recruited on the account, plus the thousands of soldiers on hand, barely enough for 20,000 people. Compared to the 400,000 army of the Turkic soldiers, it is really thin, but this is already a lot of effort.

Most of the soldiers recruited were from farming, and they didn't want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but everyone who came to enlist had five hangings of money to receive, which was a lot of money, but it made many people feel moved and forget about death.

Maybe they just feel that their life is only five dollars.

Seeing that the soldiers were untidy and thin, Yun Dingxing shook his head secretly, he didn't worry about the weight of the military armor, the foundation of the Great Sui was quite thick, and tens of thousands of people were enough, but such an army went out to fight, except for showing his merits to Yang Guang, it was really not of much use.

Yun Dingxing was bitter in his heart, but he had already ordered to move forward, and Li Shimin set off with the army and followed Yun Dingxing's side.

The excitement at the beginning was replaced by the boredom of the march, and when Li Shimin arrived at the Bird Mouse Valley, he already regretted a little, regretting that he did not explain his whereabouts to his eldest brother, and he inevitably had some surnames.

It's just that at this time, it's like an arrow from the string, and there is no possibility of going back.

The army passed through the Bird Mouse Valley, more and more people fled the famine, and there were different opinions about the situation in Yanmen County, some said that there were hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers, and some said that there were millions of them, not only Yanmen County had been captured, even if the two counties of Ma Yi and Loufu had all fallen into the hands of the Turkic soldiers. It is said that the Turkic soldiers killed and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, and now Taiyuan County is not guaranteed, and it is inevitable to run slowly and die.

Yun Dingxing's army was originally a patchwork, and without waiting for a battle along the way, it was defeated by rumors. The people who came for the money had already taken off their armor and secretly ran away. Yun Dingxing's order was not good, and when he arrived in Taiyuan, he found that half of the recruited soldiers had run away, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder.

Taiyuan was not captured, it was still safe and sound, but it was like an empty city, hundreds of people fled for their lives early, and those who stayed behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled waiting to die.

Yun Dingxing was angry and afraid, after angrily beheading a few deserters, this slightly stopped the decline of the deserters, and when passing by the counties, he issued a conscription order, and transferred a few soldiers and horses from each county, and when he set off from Taiyuan, the 20,000 soldiers who set off turned out to be 20,000, Yun Dingxing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The military situation at the front is no longer clear, anyway, the people going south say that the Turkic soldiers are coming, and the mountains are all over the field!

The three of them became tigers, and all of them were golden, Yun Dingxing only felt that there was a monster in front of him with a big mouth, just waiting for himself to die, looking at all his subordinates with the same expression, except for Li Shimin's kid who had no heart and lungs, they were all panicked.

Yun Dingxing knew that he was likely to die when he moved forward, and he didn't have to want to turn over in this life, so he could only continue to march hard, but he had already begun to be cautious and ready to retreat at any time. From Taiyuan to Loufu, I didn't see the shadow of the Turkic soldiers, Yun Dingxing was very strange, and finally arrived at Xinkou!

Xinkou is the gateway to Taiyuan for Yanmen, if the Turkic soldiers go south from Xinkou, most of the area is a horse Pingchuan, until the Bird Mouse Valley will encounter the second natural barrier of the Turks to the Great Sui Xijing. Xinkou is close to the Wutai Mountains on the right, and the Ningwu Mountains are on the left, surrounded by mountains and valleys, and the terrain is rugged and treacherous.

When Yun Dingxing arrived south of the Xinkou Valley, he finally saw hundreds of Turkic cavalry plundering. The number of people was much smaller than expected, and Yun Dingxing was so confident that he ordered his soldiers to besiege him.

Yun Dingxing besieged the enemy with more than 20 times the force, and finally defeated hundreds of Turkic soldiers, and also captured a few, and finally understood the situation ahead under torture. Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard that Shibi Khan personally led an army of 400,000, Yun Dingxing still felt that his legs trembled a little. He also finally understood that the entire Yanmen County, except for Lao County and Yanmen City, fell into the hands of Shibi Khan. Although Lao County did not fall, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, could not shrink out, so that the Turkic soldiers basically ignored it. The Turkic soldiers are currently attacking Yanmen City around the clock, and both sides are suffering heavy casualties. These Turkic cavalry who came out to plunder were all siegers of the city, and they couldn't bear the hard work, so this time they deserted and came out of Xinkou to rob, but they didn't expect to encounter Yun Dingxing first.

After Yun Dingxing interrogated the Turkic soldiers, after half an hour's effort, his hair turned a few whiter, first let all the soldiers set up camp, and bring a few cronies to discuss in the camp. It's okay to fight a few hundred Turkic soldiers, but if you really go head-to-head with 400,000 Turkic soldiers, I'm afraid that there won't be a few of the 20,000 regular and miscellaneous teams who will go back alive.

But if you retreat, there is absolutely no reason for that, if you let the saint know, I am afraid that the first person to be killed after the siege is lifted is him Yun Dingxing.

"But we have to do something, right?" Yun Dingxing looked at a group of subordinates, twisted his eyebrows and said: "Today's plan, we can only sit and wait for help, and we can't do unnecessary deaths. We have accumulated a lot, and when we come back for reinforcements, we will be able to defeat the Turkic soldiers with thunder and relieve the siege of Yanmen. ”

All the hands looked at each other, all saying yes, but Yun Dingxing was so angry that he almost vomited blood, thinking that these incompetent people didn't know how to share their worries, so they would only applaud.

As soon as the curtain was raised, Li Shimin walked in slowly, and a few lieutenants wanted to scold, but Yun Dingxing waved his hand and stopped: "Shimin, we are discussing the matter of relieving the siege, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Li Shimin glanced around at everyone and said confidently: "Shimin is not talented, but he also knows some of the current situation. 400,000 Turkic soldiers besieged Yanmen City, although we have 20,000 soldiers here, but there are only a few thousand, and there are more than 10,000 well-trained soldiers. ”

Yun Dingxing said in his heart, what you said is nonsense, don't I know? But if you want to listen to the following, you still have a smiling face, "What about the meaning of the people?" ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pointed out the tent, "General Yun, Xinkou is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is continuous, and the Turkic soldiers are good at horse warfare and charging, but they can't exert their power in this kind of terrain. I suggest that General Yun lead his troops into Xinkou and disperse his forces......"

"Nonsense, we still can't resist the Turkic army by concentrating our forces, don't we disperse our forces and let the Turkic soldiers break through each one?" A partial general reprimanded.

Li Shimin disagreed, "Since separation and concentration are irresistible, what is wrong with separation?" ”

Yun Dingxing waved his hand to stop the general's questioning, and said in a deep voice: "Shimin, you go on." ”

Li Shimin said solemnly: "General Yun, now the only thing we can resist the Turkic soldiers is the geographical advantage. If the Turkic soldiers knew that our army was coming, if they came to fight with all their might, our army would definitely not be able to resist. In this case, we might as well disperse our limited forces to the mountains of the Xinkou Valley, and let the soldiers spread their banners in vain, and continue in the valley, and at night the golden drums are heard of each other, and the Turkic soldiers are suspicious of the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from our side, and may flee from the wind! ”

The generals didn't say anything this time, and Yun Dingxing hesitated before saying, "Let's go out first, I'll think about this idea first." ”

Li Shimin smiled and walked out of the account, but Yun Dingxing asked anxiously: "Is this idea feasible?" ”

General Yibian shook his head and said, "General Yun, the Turkic soldiers are not fools, don't the Turkic soldiers who fled back for their lives know our troops?" I'm just afraid that it will be self-defeating, bluffing, and luring the Turks over, which will be a big bad thing. ”

Yun Dingxing actually thought the same way, and said after a while: "The plan of the suspicious soldiers is originally false and real, as for the consequences, no one knows......"

"I think it's possible." The other general said in a low voice: "General Yun, Li Shimin is the son of Li Yuan, and he has been favored by the saint, and he can speak in front of the saint." We are now in a dilemma, it is absolutely impossible to go out of Xinkou to fight with the Turkic soldiers, since this is the case, it is better to hold Xinkou to contain the Turkic soldiers, this idea is Li Shimin's idea, whether it succeeds or not, he must always take responsibility, even if the saint is punished, Li Shimin and Li Yuan must be considered, and besides, it is better for us to use the strategy of doubtful soldiers than to sit and wait for death! If the Turkic soldiers really attack, we don't have to die, but we can also share the Turkic forces for the Holy Lord, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Yun Dingxing was overjoyed, "What you said is right, since this is the case, quickly follow Li Shimin's idea." Let the soldiers disperse into Xinkou, if the Turkic soldiers come, there is no need to fight to the death, just retreat to the main point and hold it. ”

**When Yun Dingxing was pulling the banner as a tiger skin, the attack and defense of Yanmen City had reached a tragic point.

Rivers of blood flowed and blood stained the city, both above and below the city, all of which were filled with blood, and the air was filled with the smell of death and laughter.

The Turkic soldiers have already lost their temper, and they have begun to fight to the death for money, and the siege of the city has reached this day, and both sides are red-eyed, attacking without regard for their lives, and defending without sparing their lives.

All the people are like moths one after another, just for the stubborn and stubborn Emperor of the Great Sui!

Shibi Khan has personally supervised the battle these days, and rarely closes his eyes. The Turkic soldiers saw that the Khan was even more brave, but the Shibi Khan was frowning, anxious, although he was calm on the surface, but he knew that it had taken too long now, he did not underestimate Yang Guang, but underestimated the strength of the Great Sui soldiers to the death.

He was even a little suspicious of the information he had obtained, and it was really hard to believe that there were only 20,000 defenders in the city, and more than 20,000 of his men had died, but Yanmen City was still standing, and there was no sign of fatigue and exhaustion of the defenders.

"Khan, there are reinforcements from the Great Sui in the Xinkou area, and the flags in the Xinkou Mountains are more than ten miles, beating drums and beating gold every night, it seems that the number is huge." As soon as the horse arrived, he whispered.

Shibi Khan pondered for a long time, "Send people to investigate, now that the siege has reached the last line, it must not fall short." ”

The soldiers were ordered to set off, but Xi Yue Mo came to Shibi Khan's side with a disgraced face, "Khan, it's not good." He whispered a few words beside Shibi Khan, who frowned and said, "How can this be? ”

"Fortunately, there was only one line that went wrong, and hundreds of people died." Xi Yue Mo hurriedly said: "In just a few hours, we can capture Yanmen City." It's just Khan, I heard that there are endless golden drums at Xinkou, as if there are signs of a large army coming to help. ”

Shibi Khan sneered: "The people of the Central Plains are cunning, and this is most likely their suspicious strategy. Their emperor is here, and he is in danger of being attacked by us, if a large army really arrives, he would have rushed out to fight with us a long time ago, how can he still wave his flag and shout there? The sound of drums and shouts is a sign that they are not strong enough to lure us through. When the drums stop, then we have to be careful, but no matter what, tonight, Yanmen City must be conquered! ”

After the first Khan's order came out again, countless Turkic soldiers shouted and rushed to kill, and a new round of siege began.......

(To be continued)
