This is a scout cavalry of less than 1,000 people, led by the scout general Wu Zhiyuan, they killed from Yanmen Mountain in the northeast, and happened to rush into a gap in the Turkic camp.

Shibi Khan was furious, "Annihilate them for me!" ”

Groups of Turkic cavalry surrounded the Sui scout cavalry, and Wu Zhiyuan saw that the situation was critical, so he shouted: "Blow the trumpet, evacuate!" ”

"Woo-two, the long horn sounded, and more than a thousand cavalry quickly retreated to the way they came, it was a difficult path, and the brigade could not pass, and soon, the Sui cavalry disappeared into the mountains and forests.

The arrival of the Fengzhou cavalry, so that the defenders of the city cheered like thunder, although the other side only had more than 1,000 people, but this was like a bright light in the night, so that the defenders saw the hope of reinforcements, the red eagle banner made them realize that this is Yang Yuanqing Fengzhou Sui army to come to the rescue.

The defenders of the city suddenly had a great morale, bravely killed the enemy, killed the Turkic army besieging the city with heavy casualties, and the corpses piled up, at this time, the horn of the Turkic army to collect the troops sounded, and the sudden appearance of more than a thousand Sui troops disturbed the military spirit of the Turkic army, and they could not fight again, and tens of thousands of Turkic troops retreated quickly like a receding tide, and dozens of nest cars did not finally push up the city wall.

Yuwen Chengdu has been watching the movement of the Turkic army, the appearance of the Fengzhou scout army must mean that the main force of Fengzhou is not far away, and the Turkic army must have a response, sure enough, he saw a Turkic army of about 100,000 people marching northward, making the camp of the Turkic army empty a lot at once.

The changes of the Turkic army made the defenders of the city cheer one after another, and Yuwen Chengdu was even more ecstatic, he urged his horse to run to the city, he wanted to report this great news to the saint.

Yuwen Chengdu just ran down the city tower, but saw hundreds of officials surrounding Emperor Yang Guang of Sui hurriedly rushed to the city gate, Yuwen Chengdu turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Yang Guang and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the enemy army attacking the city is temporarily retreating!" ”

"General Yuwen, said that reinforcements arrived?" Yang Guang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, it was a scout cavalry of the Sui army in Fengzhou who killed it, causing chaos among the Turkic cavalry, the scout cavalry has retreated, but the Turks have divided an army of 100,000 and headed north, which shows that the main force of the Fengzhou army has also arrived."

Yang Guang's face was a little embarrassed, he heard the cheers of the city, so he ordered the eunuch to inquire about the news, but the eunuch ran back and said that the reinforcements had arrived, which made Yang Guang ecstatic, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Yuanqing's reinforcements who arrived, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Yang Gongdao beside him persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter what, he is a Sui minister after all, in the face of foreign invasion, it is his duty for him to rush to help, and only by sharing the same hatred can he relieve the siege of Yanmen." ”

Yuwen Chengdu also said: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers killed the enemy bravely, but after all, the number is limited, can not withstand the consumption, at most five or six days, there will be no soldiers to defend the city, Yang Yuanqing's arrival, dispersed a large part of the enemy's main force, will inevitably greatly affect the Turkic army's attack, give us time, more importantly, the morale of the soldiers is greatly boosted, so that everyone can see the hope of life, this is his credit." ”

"I know, let's talk about relieving the siege of Yanmen!"

Yang Guang's on the city wall surrounded by hundreds of officials, the blood all over the ground is unbearable, many officials can't help but vomit out, Yang Guang frowned and walked to the city wall, looking outside the city, the outside of the city is even more shocking, the corpses are piled up all over the ground, the siege ladder is broken, the blood has dyed the moat red, in the distance, the Turkic army is still overwhelming, and there is no edge in sight, but Yang Guang also saw that a Turkic army is driving northward, this must be a change in the north, it can only be Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou army arrived.

Yang Guang's expression was complicated, no one knew what he was thinking?

Yang Yuanqing's army is stationed in the south of Shanyang County, about 50 miles away from Yanmen County on the bank of the Sanggan River, more than 10 miles away is the West Pass, the West Pass is the later Yanmen Pass, over the West Pass, and then go more than 30 miles to the east is Yanmen County, this area is open, suitable for the battlefield.

Yang Yuanqing's camp was stationed on a gentle slope, he rode a horse and stood on the high post, condescending, in the distance is a horse Pingchuan, and then to the east is the mountains recklessly, the towering Yanmen Pass and the endless Great Wall stand in the high mountain and dangerous place.

Xicheng Pass has been captured by the Turks, but the Turkic army bypassed Xiawu Mountain from the north and entered Yanmen County, and there was no Turkic army in the area of Shanyang County.

Yang Yuanqing was not in a hurry, his scout cavalry went to Yanmen City from the dangerous road to report the news, and also told the Turkic army that the Fengzhou army was coming, Yang Yuanqing's tactics were to disperse the Turkic army, reduce the pressure on Yanmen City, delay time, and wait for the southern army to come to help, he had received information that the 50,000 troops of Qu Tutong stationed in Yan'an County were also crossing the Yellow River and coming to the rescue of Yanmen.

"Chief, Wang Taishou is here!" A soldier next to him reported.

Yang Yuanqing turned around, only to see Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi County, leading dozens of cavalry to rush here, and after a while, Wang Rengong rushed to Yang Yuanqing, and said with a smile: "General Yang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and replied: "I didn't announce the cross-border bandit suppression last time, I'm very sorry." ”

"It's okay, there's no need to mention the past."

Although Yang Yuanqing's pro-Sui self-reliance made Wang Rengong quite taboo against him, at this time, the great enemy was present, and they needed to deal with the Turks with the same hatred, and at this time, they did not care about everyone's position.

Wang Rengong urged the horse to Yang Yuanqing, stared at the Xicheng Pass, and said worriedly: "The Xicheng Pass is a master, and it is not open, and now it is occupied by the Turks, and it may be difficult to think about it." ”

"There are paths in the mountains, so you can go there."

Wang Rengong was stunned, "Is there a path to go through?" How did I never know? ”

Someone behind him replied: "Taishou, there are indeed three small roads that can be crossed, but only small groups of troops can do it, not large armies." Yang Yuanqing turned around, only to see an officer standing not far behind them, burly, dignified, it seemed to be Wang Rengong's personal guard leader, Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked: "This is ......"

"This is my personal guard captain Liu Wuzhou." Wang Rengong glared at him fiercely, "I will talk to Manager Yang, there is no room for you to interject, if you dare to do this, I will be responsible!" ”

"Yes, I know my mistakes!" Liu Wuzhou admitted his mistake in fear. It turned out that this person was Liu Wuzhou, Yang Yuanqing nodded, but he didn't want to say anything, now he has some understanding of the will of heaven, Liu Wuzhou's opposition to him is not necessarily a bad thing, so the best way is not to deliberately interfere and let history develop naturally. Yang Yuanqing turned around and said: "The Turks will be worried that their back roads will be cut off, so they will definitely not tolerate tens of thousands of troops in their rear, they will definitely divide their troops to fight a decisive battle with me, and they must destroy me." Only then did Wang Rengong understand Yang Yuanqing's intentions, and said in astonishment: "Does General Yang want to fight the Turkic army here?" Yang Yuanqing nodded slightly, "I hope that Wang Yuanjun can quickly withdraw the surrounding residents to the city, close the city gates, and the big war will start tomorrow." At this time, Yang Yuanqing's pupils suddenly contracted, staring at Xicheng Pass, and he said lightly: "They have arrived!" Wang Rengong also saw that a large group of Turkic soldiers poured out of Xicheng Pass, and they continued to drive down the mountain, and he immediately turned back and shouted to Liu Wuzhou: "Go and inform Li Juncheng and transfer the surrounding people into the city!" Liu Wuzhou agreed, turned away, looked at Liu Wuzhou's back, Yang Yuanqing smiled again: "You are a good guard!" ”

"It's really good, shrewd and capable, strong in martial arts, and is my right-hand man."

"Even so, the king still has to be careful, now when the world is in turmoil, people's hearts are measured." Yang Yuanqing still couldn't help but remind Wang Rengong. Wang Rengong smiled, and a disdain for Yang Yuanqing flashed in his eyes.

"This person is my pro-soldier captain, I can naturally trust him, doesn't Chief Yang trust his pro-soldiers?" Yang Yuanqing smiled, he didn't say more, his eyes looked at the Turkic army in the distance again, there were already thirty or forty thousand, but the cavalry continued to pour out from the Xicheng Pass, it seems that Shibi Khan is determined to annihilate his army, and a big war is about to break out.

"Pass my order, and the three armies should hurry up and rest!" Shi Danai brought out the will from Yanmen City to stay in Taiyuan to issue the whole country, in the will Yang Guang made a clear promise that the war of Goryeo would be stopped, causing a fierce response from all counties in the world, and the soldiers and horses of all counties in the world gathered in Taiyuan, more than 1,000 people, hundreds of people, gathered sand into a tower, gathered water into a river, and rushed to the east of the river in an endless stream.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in the capital, also appointed Yun Dingxing, the secretary of Shaofu Temple, as the general of the right tunwei, and urgently led an army of 50,000 to the north to rescue Yanmen. Taiyuan City, a force of more than 50,000 people, from the counties of Hedong to the army has been assembled, led by Taiyuan deputy Wang Wei, at this time, from Yan'an County Qu Tutong 50,000 troops, also arrived in Taiyuan, plus Henan, Hebei counties to rush to more than 30,000 troops, so far, has 130,000 troops gathered in Taiyuan, just waiting for the arrival of Yun Dingxing's army, then to Yanmen Junqin Wang.

In Li Yuan's mansion, Li Yuan was discussing with his henchman Liu Wenjing about how to deal with it, Li Yuan wanted to withhold the holy decree brought out by Shi Danai, so that Yang Guang died at the hands of the Turks, so that the world was in chaos, but Liu Wenjing persuaded him, 'The Turks may not want the order of the Sui Emperor' Once the conditions are met, the emperor will return and track down the whereabouts of the will, not only will the life of the prince be difficult to protect, but he will also become the enemy of the world, and his reputation will be ruined, this move must not be ......

Li Yuan listened to Liu Wenjing's advice, but he was still a little hesitant to let Wang Wei be the main general, and he walked a few steps behind his back and said, "Why doesn't Mr. agree with me personally leading the troops north?" I thought this was an opportunity for me to master the soldiers of Hedong, and it was a pity to give up. Liu Wenjing smiled slightly, "When the emperor was in trouble, Shu Deqin led a large army to rescue him, of course he was grateful, but what about afterwards?" In the future, when things settle down, he will no longer have the advantage of his life, and when he looks back at Shude's leading the army, will he be suspicious? Shude must be guarded against. ”

Li Yuan nodded and sighed: "Brother Zhaoren still sees far away, I almost missed the calculation." Liu Wenjing said again: "Wang Wei was originally Qu Tutong's deputy general, and this time he sent troops, in fact, Qu Tutong was the main general, and Wang Wei was the deputy, so that the saint would not have any doubts, and would only praise Shude for recruiting troops in a timely manner and being loyal, and the worries of prophecy would not be broken." ”

Li Yuan agreed, and then he remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Will it be inappropriate for me to let Shimin recruit troops to participate in the rescue?" Liu Wenjing smiled meaningfully: "Shimin is only sixteen years old, and the saint will not have any suspicions, but it shows the loyalty of Brother Shude." ”
