Fan Zi covered, Princess Changle and her entourage were successfully rescued.

The cavalry under Li Shimin was all in high morale and returned to Lao County.

A few days ago, Yun Dingxing, the general of Zuotunwei, led 10,000 newly recruited troops to Yanmen County, lifted the siege of Laoxian County, and stationed here.

When she heard that Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Princess Changle left Fenyang Palace and came to Lao County, Yanmen County guarded Wang Qu, and Chen Xiaoyi, the county leader, led the remnants of the army to arrive. And Li Yuan, Hu Benlang rushed Pan Changwen, Wei Chifan, and Wang Wei to arrive, in addition to Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi County, and Tang Shizong of Shuofang County also led the army to arrive, as well as Lou Fan County, and the counties and townships of Lishi County, all of which went to Cui County.

After the soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered, there were about 70,000 or 80,000 horses.

Fan Zigai took the edict of the Son of Heaven and commanded all the soldiers and horses to rush to Yanmen.

It was learned that the Sui Dynasty reinforcements had arrived at Yanmen Pass, and the Turkic cavalry intercepted them here, and the two sides started a killing battle. In the first three days of the war, the soldiers of the counties could not break through the gate of Yanmen and protect the Yanmen Pass.

"Report to Lingjun, the Turks are fighting outside the Yanmen Pass again!"

"Bastard!" Fan Zigai slammed a hammer on the table, and said, "Who is willing to fight!" ”

Listening to Fan Zigai's words, Wang Rengong, Li Yuan, Pan Changwen and other generals all looked at each other.

Because in front of Yanmen Pass, the terrain is narrow, and the battlefield can only accommodate a few hundred people, and the troops cannot be deployed, so they can only go into battle one brigade at a time.

Tang Shizong, the county of Shuofang County, took a step forward and said: "I have a strong general, Liang Shidu, and I can lead my troops to meet the battle!" ”

Not long after, a report came from the front, saying: "The Liang division was defeated by the Turks, fled back to the pass, and lost most of it!" ”

Hearing the little colonel say this, Tang Shizong suddenly lost face.

"The Turks provoked General Liang's left helmet and fought in front of the pass!"

"Who else can fight?" Fan Zigai said angrily.

Taiyuan County Tiger Benlang General Wei Chi Fan, stood up and said: "A certain wish to go!" ”

Fan Zigai was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered someone to hold a wine to pay tribute to him, and said: "The general will succeed immediately!" ”

Wei Chi took the wine glass and drank it all heroically, and walked away across the horse.

After a while, the little colonel hurriedly rushed into the big tent and said: "Report to the commander, General Wei Chi was beheaded by the Turks, and his headquarters are gone!" ”

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent were shocked.

The junior colonel said: "Right now, the Turks are raising the head of General Wei Chi and fighting outside the pass!" ”

Fan Zigai sat back in his chair with a puff, looked around left and right, and said, "Who else wants to fight!" ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the tent.

Fan Zigai asked three times, but no one answered.

Fan Zigai glanced at it, sat behind the curtain Princess Changle, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The country has come to this point, how can you love this body, isn't there a loyal and brave man?" ”

At this time, Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi County on the side, stood up and said: "Qiyu Lingjun, it's not that we don't want to fight to the death, the terrain of Yanmen Pass is narrow, and our army's foot soldiers can't arrange the formation. ”

"In terms of short-handed combat, it is a personal bravery, but we are not the opponents of the Turks, and we can only die in vain when we fight."

Wang Rengong was the most experienced general in Turkic warfare among those present, so his words were agreed by everyone present.

Pan Changwen said on the side: "The Turks have intercepted less than 10,000 rangers, but if we can't break through the narrow land of Yanmen Pass, we won't be able to expand our superiority, so we must break through the pass." ”

"It's easier said than done." All the generals shook their heads, but the 80,000 army, which was blocked by less than 10,000 cavalry by the Turks, was blocked in the Yanmen Pass, which was really breathtaking.

"Report!"

"The Turks fought outside the pass, and took out women's clothes to wear, humiliating our army!"

"Damn." Imagining the rugged and ugly Turkic people wearing women's clothes, Fan Zigai couldn't help but be furious and said, "Everyone, don't you have a plan to retreat from the enemy? ”

At this time, a general said on the side: "Qi Yu Lingjun, with the current situation, even if we break through the Turkic blockade at Yanmen Pass, after that, there will be 200,000 Turkic iron cavalry, so we are not blindly fighting at the moment, we need to find another way." ”

Fan Zigai nodded and said, "You are right, what is the clever plan?" ”

This general, looking around left and right, said: "In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was besieged in Baideng, and finally adopted Chen Ping's strategy to break out of the siege. ”

Hearing what the other party said, many generals nodded. Everyone knows that Princess Yicheng is now the Khan of Shibi Khan.

Fan Zigai hammered the table and said: "I am ashamed to say that when the country is in great trouble, all seven-foot men don't want to contribute, but they expect a woman, what face do we have in the world!" ”

was reprimanded by the other party like this, and all the generals were embarrassed.

Speaking of this, Fan Zigai looked around the tent and said loudly: "Everyone who eats the king's fortune on weekdays, and should be loyal to the king, why are they all dumb at this time. When the country is in such a big disaster, don't you all think about turning the tide? ”

"The people in the tent have all told me bluntly, if there is no plan to retreat from the enemy, the account will not be dispersed!"

After Fan Zigai finished speaking, a few more people in the tent spoke, but they were all unsatisfactory. Just when no one had a plan, and in the corner, a person said: "There is a plan below, try to say, I don't know if I can help Ling Jun?" ”

Fan Zigai was extremely anxious at the moment, and when he turned his head to look, the person who spoke was standing behind Li Yuan, the last position, and he didn't even have the qualifications to sit in the tent.

Fan Zigai couldn't help but be angry, and said, "Who are you?" What is the official position? ”

The other party saluted and said: "Under Li Chongjiu, serving under Tang Gong, he is just a white body now!" ”

"Cause chaos," Fan Zigai shouted, "Are you bullying that there is no one in a certain camp?" I don't even have an official position, how dare I speak up and beat me out! ”

After Fan Zigai finished speaking, the lieutenant of the Chinese military entered with a five-colored stick in his hand, and was about to pull the other party.

"Wait!"

It was Li Yuan who spoke out.

Li Yuan stepped forward and said: "Why don't Ling Jun listen to him, if he is rude, it will not be too late to fight again." ”

And Princess Changle, who had been silent on the side, also opened her mouth and said, "Duke Fan, it's better to listen to this person." ”

Fan Zigai held back his anger and said: "Let's listen to it, if you can't make sense, hit it!" ”

Li Chongjiu looked at Fan Zigai and said in a deep voice: "The Turks besieged us in Yanmen, thinking that they would have no worries. Our army can erect flags on both sides of the Yanmen Pass on both sides of the high mountains, during the day, and sound cymbals and drums at night. The Turks were suspicious, thinking that our army was going to cross the mountain and attack its back road, and they would retreat! ”

As soon as Li Chongjiu said it, all the generals couldn't help but look at Li Chongjiu, a young man, again.

Fan Zigai's face turned blue and white for a while, and shouted: "All the people in the tent are still humble as ministers, and you and other grass people, dare to show off your power here, and drive me out of the tent!" ”

"Wait! Fan Gong, I think this person is reasonable, who doesn't have to follow it, how can he punish him. Princess Changle said on the side.

Fan Zigai said angrily: "Princess, since you are a grass people, I should have nothing to say, please be able to do it!" ”

"Duke Fan, if you don't like me, why bother talking about the princess, just retire below." With that, Li Chongjiu turned around and left.

"Virtuous nephew stays!" Li Yuan couldn't bear to persuade.

"Brother Chongjiu!" Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan also kept together, but Chai Shao stood quietly in place.

Li Chongjiu saluted Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Zhiwan again, without saying a word, and withdrew from the tent with a calm expression.

That night, the Sui army set up false flags on the mountains on both sides of Yanmen Pass and sounded cymbals and drums.

The Turkic cavalry under the Yanmen Pass, seeing the details of the Sui army, and seeing the Sui army's banner coming after the pass, thought that the Sui army reinforcements were coming again, and the Turkic cavalry retreated at the moment and gave way to the Yanmen Pass.

Sui reinforcements arrived near Fenyang Palace.
