As soon as he returned to the big camp tent, there were already Turkic cavalry on duty over there to check the camp, and Daniel Zhang took his subordinate Turks to say a few nonsense and send a few bags of good wine before he sent people away.

After waiting for the others to leave, Daniel Zhang sat in the tent and hammered his feet, feeling very aggrieved.

I never thought that a good opportunity for revenge was only half of it in the end, and now I don't know whether Li Shimin is dead or alive.

"General, what now? Shall we immediately go and tell Shibi Li Shimin's fraudulent surrender? Daniel Zhang sat there and sighed for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, tell Shi Bi now, if the Turks go crazy and capture this western pass overnight, then Yang Guangke will be in danger." We have to give Yang Guang a little more time, wait until dawn, and we'll tell Shibi after dawn. After such a night, Yang Guang also ran far away, no matter how strong he was, it would take half a day to take this western pass, and at that time Yang Guang just hid in Yanmen. With the Xiongguan of Yanmen, although Yang Guang has few soldiers, he is not afraid that he will easily capture Yang Guang alive.

On the contrary, we can continue to chase and kill the past, when Yang Guang has a strong city but few soldiers, and Shibi has a large army but is not good at attacking the city, these two phases of the big war are really what we need. Everyone thought about it and nodded. When the Goguryeo coalition army attacked Liaodong City, they were not the situation now. The Liaodong army has few soldiers, but the city is strong, and the Goguryeo coalition army has many soldiers, but it is not good at attacking the city. In the end, the high Liaodong City completely became a meat grinder, and the corpses of the coalition soldiers who died under the city were all over the field. Now it is just right for Shibi and Yang Guang to come like this, and then the two sides will definitely have to fight hard.

Here Daniel Zhang knew Li Shimin's plan, but he just didn't say it. After Chai Shao and others over there rescued Li Shimin, Li Shimin was still unconscious, and the doctors in the army looked at it and bandaged the injuries, but they all said that the injuries were serious, and it was difficult to wake up from the horror. Lai Hu'er and Yun Dingxing and other generals in the army all heard the news and came to see him, but when they saw Li Shimin's miserable appearance, they also shook their heads again and again.

At this time, Li Shimin, who wiped his body, was wrapped like a zongzi, one left sleeve was empty, and even there was a terrifying knife mark on his face. Blood was already faintly oozing from those bandaged jumping belts. When they heard the doctor say that Li Shimin had 59 stab wounds on his body, everyone was already a little lamented at this time that Li Shimin was strong, and he hadn't been hung up even after 59 stabs.

"Did the Turks do it?" The first thing that came to mind was the Turks.

Chai Shao shook his head, "When we arrived, we found that Shimin was already unconscious, and there were four people on the other side, but they were not wearing Turkic clothes, but they were all wearing night clothes. And when we were fighting, I clearly heard one of them speak Chinese. ”

As a result, Lai Hu'er and Yun Dingxing looked at each other, but they didn't expect this matter to be so complicated.

Chai Shao said in a deep voice, "According to my prediction, this thing was not done by the Turks, but the killers that the people encountered when they returned from the Turkic military camp. So I think that the Turks must have believed in the plan of the people of the world to surrender before. And judging from the black-clothed man from this background, the opponents of the people of the world are either those who are dissatisfied with Shibi among the Turks and want to sabotage this Turkic southern expedition, but the southern expedition is beneficial to the Turks, so this is not very likely. There is another possibility, that is, those men in black are from the Central Plains, and most likely from the Liaodong Army. ”

The grievances between Li Shimin and the Liaodong Army are known to the world, if those men in black are the Liaodong Army, then this matter can be said. But why the Liaodong Army appeared here is a situation that people can't understand.

After being silent for a long time, Lai Hu'er shook his silver hair, and said a little tiredly, "According to General Chai's analysis, there is a great possibility that Shimin's strategy of deception has worked. This plan is very important to us, so the old man wants to continue. If we can delay for one more day, we will delay one more day, and for every additional day we delay here, Your Majesty's security will be more, and the soldiers and horses in all parts of the river will be able to get closer. General Chai, after a while, the old man will personally write a letter to Your Majesty, and you will immediately go to Yanmen with Erlang and 3,000 Ma Yi soldiers. "Marshal, at this time of national crisis, how can I leave as a general in the army, not to mention that the Xuanjia Army stays here, but it is His Majesty's personal order, I can't leave without permission." Chai Shao shook his head and said. …,

Laihu'er patted him on the shoulder, "Although Your Majesty ordered you to stay here, he also ordered me to stay here as a general." Now that Erlang is seriously injured, someone must report to His Majesty for the current situation, so this is Ben Shuai's order! Chai Shao looked at Li Shimin in the faint, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of the night, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong, Shi Wanbao, Li Daozong, Li Daoxuan and other generals of the Xuanjia Army gathered more than 3,000 troops, and used a carriage to carry Li Shimin out of Xiqi Pass and towards Yanmen Pass.

In Shibi Khan's military camp, although he had decided to wait for Yun Dingxing's internal response, he was not idle this night. A large number of soldiers and horses were sent to cut down trees and make siege equipment such as ladders, battering rams, and catapults. In that long and narrow valley, a large number of Turkic soldiers were stationed in each large valley, and at this time, each military camp became a battalion of craftsmen, and all kinds of equipment were being made everywhere. By the time dawn came, the simplest ladders were piled up and scattered everywhere.

Daniel Zhang took several of his subordinates and went straight to the outside of Shibi Khan's tent.

"Please report to the Great Khan, just say that Daniel Zhang of Liaodong has important military information to inform the Great Khan." A golden wolf shì guard turned around and walked into the big tent to report, and after a while he came out and invited him in.

As soon as I entered the Golden Horde, I found that the leaders of all the tribes were there, and early in the morning, these leaders were already drinking wine and eating meat and gathering people to carnival, and a few leaders came to the Golden Horde and did not forget to bring the Central Plains women who were captured on the road to have fun.

"General Zhang came just in time, come and have a few drinks. I have good news to tell you, tonight, Ben Khan's army will seize the pass in front of him, wave his troops south, and capture Yang Guangxiao alive

Child. Shi Bi saw Daniel Zhang come in and greeted with a smile.

Daniel Zhang frowned, stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid that Khan is happy a little early." "Lingli has been unhappy in the past few days because of the previous incident with the vanguard army. At this time, when I saw that Daniel Zhang did not give Shi Bi face, he stood up and drank, "Don't toast, don't eat and drink, you are just a dog tuǐ of Chen Pojun." The Great Khan makes you drink because you look up to you, but don't be embarrassed. Shi Bi looked at Lingli and scolded Daniel Zhang, but he didn't speak, just drank wine by himself.

"Great Khan, this early in the morning, I gathered all the tribal leaders to drink and have fun, but for Yun Dingxing, the guard general in the pass, surrendered to the Great Khan, and prepared to open the city at the third watch tonight?" Daniel Zhang said casually.

Shibi Khan was shocked, this matter was a secret in the army, and only a few of the largest clan leaders knew last night. Even the leaders of the rest of the tribes in the tent, he had just told them the news.

"Lingli, go check it out immediately, see who took the news, whether it is lived, and be executed immediately." Shibi said angrily.

The brazier in the tent was still warm with mare's milk wine, and the whole sheep was roasted with golden brown, so that the whole tent had both the smell of sweat on the heads of various tribes, the fishy smell of mare's milk, and the smell of roasted whole sheep. This mixed taste made him very unaccustomed to when he first arrived in the grassland, but after staying for a long time, he got used to it. Daniel Zhang ignored others, walked directly to a brazier, took a copper wine jug from above, poured himself a glass of wine, and after taking a sip, said slowly, "This mare's milk wine is indeed delicious, authentic!" ”

Seeing that Shi Bi was still staring, Daniel Zhang smiled, "If the Great Khan wants to know where I got the news, why not ask me directly?" ”

"Will you tell Ben Khan?"

"Of course, why not?" Daniel Zhang walked to the rack where the whole sheep was roasted, took a meat cutting knife from Tuli on the side, took a plate and sliced a few slices of roasted golden mutton for himself, and after eating a piece, he continued, "Da Keji actually doesn't need to let Lingli Khan go to check out the person who has the news, because this news is not known from the army of the Great Khan, but from the pass. ”

"Within the pass? You mean Sui Jun? Shi Bi asked suspiciously.

"That's right, just now, the secret agent we arranged earlier in the Sui army in Guannei gave me a message. At the beginning of this news, it was the agreement between the Great Khan and Yun Dingxing yesterday. Originally, I didn't believe it, thinking that he was mistaken, but I didn't expect that just said this, but the Great Khan had already helped me settle this fact. ”

Shibi Khan sat there at this time, but the glass of wine in his hand could not be drunk, and he brought it to his lips several times, and finally threw it on the carpet in the tent with a snort. After walking down the Golden Wolf Throne in a few steps, Shi Bi walked up to Daniel Zhang and said, "General Zhang said that Ben Khan was happy too early, but what did he mean?" ”…,

Daniel Zhang no longer deliberately teased everyone, and said seriously, "Just now, our eyeliner in the Sui army sent a message that the general of Yun Dingxing who came to meet with the Great Khan last night was not very human, he is the current Duke of Tang of the Sui State, the second son of Li Yuan who stayed in Taiyuan, the Duke of Liaoyang County, General Zuotunwei, and Li Shimin, the Taishou of Ma Yi. This is the Sui general who previously annihilated the Great Khan in Shenwu City, and a vanguard army of 5,000 people.

It was just a short beginning, and it had already made Shibi exclaim. Hearing this, he also knew that the surrender last night must have been a fraudulent surrender. In any case, how could this Li Shimin surrender to the grassland with such a big background, and he actually pretended to be a family general to surrender on behalf of others. A feeling of being deceived made Shi Bi angry and ashamed, kicked over a case next to him, and said angrily, "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." When I catch this Li Shimin, I will take him back to the grassland, dig out his heart and feed the eagles on the grassland, and throw his body on the grassland to feed the wolves! ”

The other tribal leaders were also furious, constantly cursing the Sui people for their cunning and cunning, but no one remembered that the Daniel Zhang in front of them was also a Sui person.

After everyone scolded for a while, Shi Bi said with a dark face, "What else do you know, the most important thing is that Yang Guang is not in Xichen Pass at this time?" Although he was a little annoyed by being tricked, what really made Shi Bi care about Yang Guang's whereabouts was it.

Looking at Shi Bi's expectant gaze, Daniel Zhang shook his head, "According to my intelligence, there are only 50,000 Sui troops in the pass at this time. With the right Yiwei general Lai Hu'er as the main general, the right Tunwei general Yun Dingxing, and the left Tunwei general Li Shimin as the deputies, a total of 50,000 Praetorian Guards stayed at this pass to resist the wolf cavalry of the Great Khan. As for Yang Guang, he didn't stop at all yesterday, and fled to Yanmen with 100,000 forbidden troops and his concubines and palace maids. ”

As soon as Shi Bi heard that Yang Guang was indeed no longer in the pass, he gritted his teeth with hatred, pulled out the golden wolf's head scimitar on his waist, and roared, "Immediately send orders to all tribes to attack the Xichen Pass immediately." In any case, before dark, you must take the Western Ying Pass, and if you are ineffective in combat, you will be killed on the spot! ”

As soon as Shi Bi was angry, this early celebration banquet could not be held. The leaders of the various tribes scolded the Sui people angrily, while each returned to the barracks, gathered soldiers and horses and began to attack the Xiqi Pass. The whining horns resounded through the canyon, and the cowhide war drums were already beating.

The Turkic cavalry had already run out of the tents in groups and quickly assembled. The chiefs of the various clans even quarreled with each other for the position of the first attack. The Turkic cavalry had already abandoned their horses, and rushed towards the pass with a group of ladders.

Shi Bi took the golden wolf shì guard to the front line in front of the pass in person, as the most elite soldiers and horses of the Great Khan's headquarters, the 50,000 golden wolf cavalry under the command of Shi Bi did not participate in the attack, the 50,000 golden wolf cavalry had already dismounted, and a dense array was placed in the open space in front of the pass, and all the golden wolf cavalry were holding a long wooden hard bow. This type of bow is not suitable for mounted shooting, but it is very suitable for infantry archers to shoot at a distance and intensively.

The sudden attack of the Turks surprised Laihu'er and Yun Dingxing in the city. Last night, when the soldiers were ordered to keep an eye on the movements of the Turks, and the whole army was holding the pass, there was no movement until dawn. Unexpectedly, after dawn, these Turks attacked the Turks.

Fifty thousand golden wolf cavalry threw a dense rain of arrows with long wooden hard bows, covering the city head. In front of the Turkic formation, because the terrain in front of the pass was narrow and could not accommodate too many attacking troops at the same time, the servant bone tribe grabbed the glory of the first attack, and the soldiers and horses of the 20,000 servant bone tribe, like a tide, under the cover of bows and arrows, shouted wildly and carried the ladder to the fortress and rushed over.

In front of the Turkic soldiers who were like ants gathering, the small western pass of the simple gorge was like an isolated island that would be submerged at any time.
