Liangzhou, Li Xin held a grand wedding here, this time it was not only Pei Shiju's granddaughter, but also one person, that is, Princess Nanyang, although a little unruly, but in Liangzhou, Li Xin is the master of Liangzhou, followed Li Xin to the northwest Princess Nanyang, clearly to follow Li Xin, this time Li Xin in Pei Fu at the same time, but also into the Nanyang princess into the back house.

The newly completed mansion is very large, just like the palace, pavilions and pavilions, rockery attics can be seen everywhere, although it is in the northwest, it has the atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River. Although Li Xin advocates that extravagance and waste are not allowed, as the lord of the northwest, there are some things that Li Xin cannot decide.

On the wedding night, Li Xin's face was slightly red, and there was a faint smell of wine between his breaths, in the end, Liang Guogong, even if he was married, no one dared to pour each other's wine. The whole Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is very lively, the lights are shining, endlessly, from time to time there can be bursts of laughter, at this moment the whole Jincheng is also in joy, these Lanzhou people have experienced a lot of wars, or are in poverty, and only when Li Xin is in charge of Lanzhou, light and thin, can make Lanzhou's vitality quickly recover, so that these people have surplus food.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the Jinyi Guard is in an emergency." Li Xin was walking in the back house, wearing a brocade robe, he had just come out of Yao Muxue and Li Zhiwan's room, and now he was going to Princess Nanyang's room, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him, but he saw Shen Qianqiu, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, trotting over with a panicked expression, and Li Xin could see the panic in Shen Qianqiu's eyes by candlelight.

"What's going on?" Li Xinzhong was a little unhappy, he got married once, tonight is the night of candles in the cave room, I didn't expect Shen Qianqiu to come to find trouble for himself at this time, what will happen in this winter, could it be that Li Yuan has already raised troops to go south? At the very least, there are still a few months to go, enough for him to have time to send troops from Jincheng and sweep across the entire Longxi. Then enter Guanzhong and seize the world.

"The Turks are about to send troops to Liangzhou." Shen Qianqiu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "According to the intelligence, Shibi Khan is preparing to invade my Liangzhou with his younger brother Dubi to lead an army of 100,000. After the last general got the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to see the governor. ”

"Is the information reliable?" Li Xinzhong is also in chaos, if the 100,000 Turkic cavalry really attacks Liangzhou, Liangzhou will face huge pressure, and more importantly, Li Yuan is about to raise troops, according to the news, Li Yuan has been secretly befriending heroes and heroes. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are secretly recruiting troops and horses, obviously the cavalry is imminent, and at this time, the Turks will attack, which will support most of Li Xin's troops, and will have an adverse impact on Li Xin's attack on Guanzhong.

"It was sent by Princess Yicheng." Shen Qianqiu said: "Most of the merchants who enter the grassland now have a lot to do with our Jinyiwei, who has also set up a stronghold near the Turkic tent. Although they don't know the core secrets of the Turks, some of the troops are still known. Combined with the news from Princess Yicheng, we can conclude that the Turks were serious about sending troops this time. ”

Among the Turkic tribes. The biggest is of course the Turkic Khan Shibi Khan, but there is another person who can't be escaped, and that is Princess Yicheng. Princess Yicheng was the daughter of the Sui Yang clan and married the Qimin Khan successively. After the death of Qimin Khan, she married Shibi Khan, who was a Turkic clan and had a high prestige among the Turkic people. In particular, she was once the wife of the Khan of Qimin. "Quick, please come to Mr. Pei, Mr. Du, Mr. Chu, and General Li Jing." Li Xinyi heard that it was sent by Princess Yicheng. Immediately knew that this matter would never be wrong, he calculated carefully, it was already the middle of winter, and the entire grassland was already covered with heavy snow, and the Turks wanted to attack Liangzhou, I am afraid that they would have to wait until after the beginning of spring. In any case, Li Xin also had to make defensive preparations.

The people who were lively in the front hall saw Shen Qianqiu walk in with a solemn face, and whispered a few words in the ears of Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang and Li Jing respectively, and then saw that the four of them stood up and followed Shen Qianqiu to the back house, the originally lively hall gradually calmed down, and everyone immediately discussed with each other.

Although Li Xin has been sealed the official position of Wenchen and military general, but no matter what, in the officialdom of Liangzhou, the real four giants are these four people, today is Li Xin's wedding day, Li Xin is not good at the hole, but let the four giants into his study, obviously Liangzhou is afraid that something big has happened, otherwise, Li Xin will not summon everyone at this time.

"The Grand Governor." In the study, a brazier had already been raised, making the whole study very warm, even Li Xin himself was only wearing a regular dress, but his face was solemn, and everyone saluted and sat down.

"The Turks are coming, the intelligence sent by Princess Yicheng is that Shibi Khan ordered Ashina to lead 100,000 troops and now I am in Liangzhou." Li Xin handed the information in his hand to Pei Shiju on the side, and said: "If it is on weekdays, I, Li Xin, am not afraid of his 100,000 people, but not next year, if there is no accident, Li Yuan is afraid that he will have to raise troops to go south, and he is now making preparations." It is estimated that he will go south in July and August next year, and he will be able to go south soon with the help of the Long family, Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong will definitely not be his opponents, if they let them occupy Guanzhong, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"If the subordinates guess correctly, I'm afraid that the Turks are raising troops to the south is a ghost done by Li Yuan, and Li Yuan can also see what the Metropolitan Governor sees." Pei Shiju touched his beard and said, "Although I don't know what price he spent to get the Turks to send troops, what we have to do now is either surrender to the Turks or defeat him." ”

"How could I, Li Xin, bow to the Turks?" Li Xin said without thinking. He has always come into this world to move forward bravely, and there is no time to compromise at all, especially when facing aliens.

"Then it's just war." Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "The Turks are extremely hateful, but if the general wins the battle, the general's reputation is also very great, and his subordinates build yì and send people to lead a part of the army to the bank of the Yellow River. All we have to do is keep him at bay on the banks of the Yellow River, and when we have defeated the Turks, we can gather a large army to attack Li Yuan. Our subordinates thought that our main strategy against the enemy was to advance west and defend east. ”

"No, we can actually attack on both sides." Du Ruhui suddenly spoke. His eyes flashed with wisdom, I have to say that the top talents of this era are terrifying, at least Li Xin has not thought of a way yet, but Du Ruhui seems to have thought of a way.

"How to attack on both sides?" Li Jing couldn't help but say.

"There are countless tribes in my northwest, each tribe draws a hundred people, at least thousands of people, these are all forces, the general is now in command of the entire Western Regions, you can order these people to gather under the command of the Metropolitan Governor to deal with the Turks together, 100,000 can not be obtained, 30,000 or 40,000 can still be obtained, the Metropolitan Governor will send another 20,000 or 30,000 troops, you can block the Turks' troops, and then choose a general, bypass the Turks, cut off their food routes, and finally may not be able to inflict heavy losses on the 100,000 army. As for the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that can go east to Li Yuan, if Li Yuan moves, then we will move, Li Yuan does not move, and at a critical time, we can also give the Turks a fatal blow. Du Ruhan said with a smile: "Of course, these are all based on the command ability of our generals, but my subordinates believe that these are not difficult for our generals." ”

"The Grand Governor, his subordinates are willing to lead the army against the Turks." Li Jing said. At this time, among Li Xin's army, Li Jing had the highest prestige, and he was a handsome talent, so it was most appropriate for him to lead the army to resist the Turks.

"Hey, since that's the case, there is Brother Lao Jing, how many people does Brother Jing need?" Li Xin nodded, he needed to guard against Li Yuan's sudden southward movement, so he could only lead the army to Li Jing.

"30,000 men will do, but the last general will need cavalry." Li Jing thought for a while and said, "Most of the governors want to give me the power to recruit mercenaries of various tribes." There are also generals Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing, and Luo Shixin who also want to give it to me, if I can say that Li Xuanba can follow behind the last general, it will be the best. "The Turks advocate physics the most, whether it is Pei Yuanqing or Luo Shixin, they are rare fierce generals, as for Li Xuanba, it is a big killer, and now the Qiang people and Tuyuhun people are trembling when they see Li Xuanba, if they take Li Xuanba to go on the expedition, it will be a great deterrent!

"Metropolitan Governor, the other generals don't matter, but Li Xuanba must be transferred." Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui and others spoke one after another.

"Okay." Li Xin nodded, he understood what everyone meant. Li Yuan is about to raise troops to go south, when it comes to the generals around him, there may be powerful ones, but if there is no one who can fight with Li Xuanba, according to Li Yuan's character, he will definitely recruit Li Xuanba back, and now transfer Li Xuanba away to fight back against the Turks, not to mention whether Li Xuanba can be found, even if he finds it, Li Xuanba may not necessarily give Li Yuan his life.

"Governor Dadu, my subordinates think that since the Turks have sent troops, then we must also be prepared, and we must enter the pass in the shortest possible time, so that Li Yuan is caught off guard." Pei Shiju said with a smile, he not only flickered, but the indescribable weirdness on his old face made people feel chills in his heart, this old fox is probably trying to calculate people again.

"Yes, after the beginning of the year, the army will either be broken into pieces, and some of them will enter the land of Guanzhong, and the most important one is the Yellow River crossing." Li Xin sighed and said: "The Yellow River is thousands of miles, Li Yuan wants to attack Guanzhong, and there are still many places to go ashore. ”

"Then set fire to all the boats on the banks of the Yellow River." Pei Shiju said viciously: "Whether it is the warships of the imperial court or the civilian ships, they have been burned. (To be continued......)
