Kuhezhen spent several years in Chang'an, when his brother Sha Bolu was defeated and forced to move the Khan's court to Baidaochuan, where he was under the protection of the Sui army, and he was sent to Chang'an as a hostage. In those years, the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and his brother was excellent, and the elder brother had to rely on the protection of the Sui Dynasty to fight against Apo and Datou. The Sui Dynasty wanted to use the name of the elder brother's Great Khan to deal with the grassland tribes. Under this close relationship, he had a good life in Chang'an, won the titles of Shangzhu Guo and An Guogong, and was often able to participate in royal banquets. Those days were good, but after finally returning to the grassland, although Kuhezhen missed those days, he never wanted to go back. At every moment in Chang'an, in fact, he was scared, he was just a hostage, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would be dragged out and cut down by the Sui Dynasty. It was a sad day when his fate was not in his hands, and now he led his troops to kill the military capital, and he desperately wanted to return to the Sui Dynasty, but he led his troops to kill it.

The Sui people's letters were written very simply, in both Chinese and Turkic scripts, but he recognized Chinese characters.

"These Sui people, if they want to surrender, they will surrender, and what kind of peace talks will they have. I have met the emperor and crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, but I have never met this imperial grandson. However, he is not qualified to talk to me about any conditions, if you know what is interesting, you can surrender the city quickly, and then Ben will definitely intercede for him in front of the Great Khan, and let the Great Khan also give him the position of a small Khan, so that he will not have to worry about food and clothing from now on. If he doesn't know the times, and thinks that he can stop me with his little soldiers and horses, and this city pass, then he is too stupid, and when my city is broken, he can only be a slave. ”

"Well, just write what I just said into a letter and send it to Yang Lin."

His words were written in reply. Shot into the military capital pass.

To Kushe's surprise, the letter was sent back. The Sui people did not send any more envoys, and the Sui people seemed to be ready to fight to the death.

"Hmph. Do these stupid Sui people really think that they can stop our Turkic warriors by hiding behind this city? Although Ku Hezhen didn't want to negotiate with the Sui people at all, he still enjoyed the feeling of the Sui people pleading, but now the Sui people actually raised their heads and then gave up immediately, which made him very angry. How can you just shrink back like this, you should continue to send people to deliver letters, continue to write letters asking for peace talks, and you should have the imperial grandson Yang Lin personally write to me to beg me. I'll even have to send some beautiful treasures first.

"How's the preparation going?" Ku Hezhen was in a bad mood, and turned his head to ask his subordinates.

"Heli led the remaining 20,000 horses to sweep Ulzhou, according to the plan of the special service, he will attack the Flying Fox Pass next, and then follow the Flying Fox and Puyin to directly enter Hebei."

Ku Hezhen laughed, "Those Sui people definitely didn't expect that a certain attacking army was just a fool, but the real killing move was those 20,000 horses." Haha, but we have to do a full set even if we are acting. Give you three days, and after three days, the siege equipment must be ready, and then a fierce siege will be launched. Even if it's a feint. We also have to show momentum, we have to let the Sui people know that our Turkic warriors are powerful, and the more fierce the attack. The Sui people will transfer the soldiers of Hebei to the military capital, and the defense of Yizhou will be weakened. ”

"The agents are resourceful. The most cunning fox is not as smart as the secret service. "The subordinates patted the horses.

Gao Gong soon got the news that Taisun had ordered all the ministries. Hold on to the city and not come out.

This news made him very annoyed, he didn't expect Yang Lin to actually come with him for this trick. Turtle shrinkage in the city, this is not Yang Lin's style, when Yang Lin was in Huaihuang, which time did not take the initiative to attack, and many times it was a weak attack on the strong, with less attack and more attack, and even once went as far as Sanfan to attack Tiele. Now Yang Lin has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, not only more than 100,000 Huaihuang troops, but also tens of thousands of Sanfan troops, and now he is still in control of Youzhou Mansion, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the Ten Governors. His number of troops and horses was not inferior to that of the attacking Turks, so why did he shrink back to defend like this?

Soon after receiving this news, Gao Gong received a second message, Yang Linzheng sent people to contact the Turks and prepare to negotiate with the Turks.

Hearing this news, Gao Gong was furious, he already felt that his plan had been completely understood by Yang Lin. Not only that, but Yang Lin also found a plan to crack it. He didn't believe that Yang Lin really wanted to negotiate peace with the Turks, but if the Turks really made peace with Yang Lin, then his plan might be in vain. If Yang Lin and the Turks don't fight to the death, they will both lose, so what's the point of him waiting here? And the longer he stays here, the more pressure he faces. He can't stay here forever, and if he stays any longer, the emperor's will is just about to arrive.

Yesterday, when he was discussing with the generals of the camp, he also said that in order to completely annihilate the 200,000 Turks who had invaded, at least they would have to deal a heavy blow to this Turkic army, and they had to change their original battle plan. Because the Turks changed to the east instead of the south, their original plan to lure the Turks to the Yanmen Pass and then send troops to outflank them has failed. Now, he plans to let the Turks attack Daibei, let the Eastern Route Army drag them down, drag them down, and then they will kill them again and encircle them. For the sake of the overall situation, they had to let the Turks attack all parts of Daibei first, which was for the sake of the overall situation.

At that time, he still felt that he was a little too much, but now it seems that Yang Lin is not a good stubble, and his current hand is completely to deal with himself.

Yang Lin didn't have the slightest sense of the overall situation, and he didn't want to fight the Turks at all because he didn't want to talk to the Turks without authorization.

His plan fell through, Yang Lin had an insight, and now he has used such a trick as peace talks, how to deal with it himself? Waiting for the fighter plane in Mayi?

Gao Gong felt a headache, the originally planned fighter plane might never appear. It seems that it is far away to wait until Yang Lin and the Turks are both defeated. What should I do, continue to wait, or immediately send troops north?

"Gao Gong, our biggest goal this time is to achieve a great victory in the Northern Expedition. If we wait for the Turks to plunder in Daibei, and then calmly retreat to the steppe, we will not be able to explain to His Majesty. Han Seng Shou saw Gao Gong's tiger riding south, and had to be reminded. Yang Lin can make a fake peace with the Turks, or he can sit and defend the city, and he can even let the Turks retreat calmly after plundering the northern states, as long as he holds the Youzhou Mansion. But if the Turks really let the Turks plunder it, and then calmly retreat to the steppe, then their middle route army will have to play all the games. The emperor has been planning for several years, but he did not want to get such a result. “

Gao Gong was extremely reluctant, but in the end, he still had to give an order: "You lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to set off north immediately, and He Ruobi and I will then lead 100,000 troops to follow." ”

"Yes."

"Wait a minute." Gao Gong was unwilling, gritted his teeth, and finally added, "The daily march must not exceed forty miles, in case of Turkic attacks!" ”

Han Seng Shou immediately understood what Gao Gong really meant, which was not to let him rush to the battlefield immediately to rescue. From Mayi to Yunnei, the journey is 300 miles, 40 miles a day, and it takes at least 7 days to arrive. And if you want to get to Junduguan or Huai'an, you have to go four or five hundred miles. Gao Gong is still not giving up.

Outside the city of Huai'an, Yanzhou.

At dawn, Li Jing led 3,000 light cavalry and finally galloped all the way to the vicinity of Huai'an.

Among the 3,000 cavalry, 2,000 were Li Jing's Daning town soldiers, who were equipped with the Huaihuang ordnance he borrowed from Yi Feng, and after first-hand training, they had already experienced a lot of actual combat tests. The other 2,000 were the Huaihuang cavalry, and Yi Feng gave Li Jing 2,000 cavalry and asked him to lead 3,000 cavalry to Yanzhou to reinforce Huai'an. Another 10,000 infantry then rushed to help, and Li Jing led the cavalry to the south.

The 3,000 cavalrymen braved the rain to drive the road for most of the night, but fortunately they all brought two horses and took turns to ride in order to save horsepower. At this time, although the horses were galloping in the middle of the night, they were still in good condition.

"Dismount and eat some dry food."

The soldiers dismounted and took a bamboo tube from the saddle, half an hour ago, it had been filled with milk powder and beef pine, and after half an hour of shaking, it had already become meat floss milk porridge. Everyone opened the lid, ate milk porridge in a big gulp, and then put a cloth bag on the neck of the war horse, put the bean cake into it, and let the war horse replenish the body.

A battalion of men and horses silently made this qiē, and no one spoke a word. This is the cavalry trained by Li Jing, and after training and battles, it is now full of elite momentum.

Li Jing looked at the sky, the sky was still bright, and the night was still shrouded in the earth, but he could already vaguely see the truth and pedestrians.

The sky is beautiful, and the continuous rain is getting smaller and smaller at this time.

Several cavalry commanders did not wait for Li Jing's orders, and had already ordered their subordinates to take out bows and arrows wrapped in oilcloth, and the cavalry put well-protected bowstrings on their bows and inserted arrows into quivers. After the bow and arrows are ready, start winding the crossbow and assembling the arrows.

Li Jing watched the cavalry prepare for the battle, and beckoned a cavalryman wearing a black cloak, "There are five hundred Turkic cavalry in this village in front?" ”

The black-cloaked soldier was a scout from the MI Department, and he affirmed, "There are five hundred Turkic cavalry stationed in the village, it's true. ”

It is not surprising that it is only twenty miles from the city of Huai'an, and there are 500 Turkic cavalry stationed. However, Li Jing still confirmed again and again, and finally waved his hand to summon an officer, "Take a few scouts, touch over and investigate, and confirm whether the Turks are in the village, how many people there are, and the location of the village, don't necessarily be detailed and clear." ”

"Understood." The officer of the reconnaissance capital nodded, returned to the ranks, ordered the four scouts, and then mounted their horses and disappeared into the night.

"Five hundred horsemen rode the Turks, and they were destroyed by the way." A regimental leader.

Another young group leader also chuckled, "When we appear under Huai'an City with the heads of five hundred Turks, it will be very exciting. ”

Li Jing nodded, "Definitely." (To be continued......) R527
