While Yang Xin and Yang Ye were talking, Zeng Zhilin and Wang Feng had already led a large team of men to catch up from behind. Zeng and Wang met Yang Ye, and everyone chatted a few words together, and saw that the dust was rising in the west, and after a short time, the cavalry led by Muttel arrived at Shili Pavilion to join the main force of the infantry. And almost at the same moment, along the official road from the north, three carriages rushed in, but it was the master of the "Dark Feather" Taiyuan Branch who personally escorted Yang Ye's wife and children to arrive.

When Yang Ye's wife Zhi Saihua got down from the carriage and saw the more than 30,000 troops with a strict formation and solemn appearance, she was startled at first, and then stretched out her hand to protect the two sons who followed her, and the two Yang Mansion maids who came with her drew their knives in their hands, blocking in front of their masters, completely ignoring the thousands of troops and horses they were going to fight against.

Not to mention the martial arts of these two maids, the courage to confront tens of thousands of troops alone is very comparable. It can be seen that as the master, the heroine of the woman does not let the eyebrows be heroic and the careful training of the maids under him. Seeing that his wife was about to misunderstand, Yang Ye hurriedly stepped forward, waved the maid away, and explained the cause and effect of the matter to his wife. After hearing this, Zhesaihua was relieved, walked over to salute her brother-in-law Yang Ye, and greeted the other traversers - although Zhesaihua is a heroine and heroine, she is still only the head of her husband in national affairs. Since her husband has decided to stay out of this great war in which the Han Kingdom will be defeated, she can only follow her husband and wife, and stay in Shili Pavilion with her husband to wait for news.

So, Yang Xin's side set up a simple banquet in the Shili Pavilion, and pushed the cup to change the lamp with Yang Ye and his wife and Xin Feiyu who stayed to accompany them, chatting and catching up on the old days. Zeng Zhilin, Wang Feng, and Mutel set off as a team, led more than 30,000 troops back on the road, and went to Taiyuan City to kill.

Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, because it was noon and it was a sunny day today, under the sun, the Northern Han officials who were waiting outside the Xuande Gate to welcome the envoys of the Beiping Army were also very uncomfortable. At this time, it was almost the end of noon, and even the officials who rushed to the city gate to greet them had been waiting here for more than half an hour, and as for those officials who were of lower rank and did not dare to pose in front of Yang Ye, they had even waited for more than an hour and a half. Many of them still came directly to Xuandemen to wait after leaving the court, not only did they not even eat lunch at this time, but they didn't even drink saliva. Although these lower-ranking officials did not dare to say anything in front of many court officials, in their hearts they had already slandered all the members of the "Beiping Army Envoy Corps" and complained about Liu Jiye (Yang Ye), who went to answer them.

Just when a group of civilian and military generals were already impatient, and many high-ranking officials even opened their mouths to complain about the Beiping Army and Liu Jiye (Yang Ye), they saw a horse team of about 500 people galloping from the dust on the official road in the north. Although it was difficult to see the appearance of the rider on the horse because of the distance, the banner of the three characters "Beiping Army" raised high and embroidered on it still made the civil and military of the Northern Han Dynasty understand the identity and origin of the other party, so as not to regard it as a harassment of the Zhou army.

Since the Lord is here, all those who complained and slandered before have shut up. Under the leadership of the princes Liu Jien and Liu Jiyuan, everyone lined up step by step and prepared to welcome their allies. Perhaps because it was slow to go before, and everyone felt a little embarrassed to wait for a long time because of the delay in time, the speed of this "Beiping Army Envoy Regiment" that appeared after a long time was very fast, and it can almost be described as galloping. From the Northern Han Dynasty Wenwu to see the figure appearing in the distance to the other party's appearance can be seen clearly, it took less than half a cup of tea. …,

As the horse team of the "Beiping Army Envoy Corps" got closer and closer, he was gradually able to see the appearance of the riders on the horses, but Liu Jien, who was standing in the front row of the greeting team, became suspicious in his heart. First, although it is inevitable to speed up the horse speed in a hurry, this is not a march to fight and the Chinese army gathers generals, and it is too late to engage in military law. Moreover, the Beiping Army came to discuss with the Han court about the eternal alliance as an ally and life-saving benefactor of the Han Dynasty, even if it was too late, the Han court and even the emperor Liu Jun would not have any expressions of dissatisfaction. Even if the people of his Beiping army don't want to go, just push the mount a little and make a hurry to come, there is no need to gallop like the horse in front of him. Second, although Guo Wuwei, the counselor who had been sent by his father to communicate and coordinate with the Beiping Army, was in the other party's ranks, he had just received the emperor's order to go out of the city for ten miles to meet the other party's imperial brother Liu Jiye (Yang Ye) and his entourage Yang Xing, Yang Sheng and others were nowhere to be seen.

All kinds of irregularities puzzled Liu Jien, and he subconsciously turned his head to his younger brother Liu Jiyuan and said: "Brother Huang, my brother feels that this so-called 'Beiping Army Envoy Group' seems to have a lot of irrationalities. First, it is too fast, and secondly, the emperor's brother Jiye is not in the team, could this be the Zhou army pretending to be an envoy of the Beiping army, intending to sneak attack my Taiyuan City, right? ”

Liu Jiyuan shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Not to mention that it is a secret matter for the Beiping Army to send envoys to form an alliance with our dynasty, it is difficult for the Zhou army to find out the details for a while, and it is not easy to rob and kill the envoy of the Beiping Army halfway and fake it." Just saying that this team is really pretending to be Zhou Jun, it is only four or five hundred people, even if they really let them rush into the city, they can do nothing but cause some disturbances and losses in the city. Besides, Guo Zhiyi is also in the team, so there should be no fake. It is necessary to know that Guo Jian is one of the most favored courtiers of his father, and his father is very favored by him, how could he defect to the enemy, betray his lord for glory, and follow this group of daring people who are destined to leave Taiyuan City alive to come to attack? ”

Although he felt that what his brother said made some sense, Liu Jien's heart was still a little unsteady, and he still had a worried expression on his face. Seeing that his imperial brother could not be relieved, Liu Jiyuan had no choice but to continue to persuade: "If the imperial brother feels uneasy, he can order someone to arrange five hundred archers on the city." Once there is any change in the coming, ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, and they will be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Jien nodded after hearing this, and said: "The arrangement of the emperor's brother is exactly what my brother wants, so you will inform the general who guards the door, and immediately order the archers to stand by in the city." ”

"Yes, little brother, I'll do it." Liu Jiyuan agreed, turned around and left.

Here, Liu Jiyuan had just ordered the generals guarding the Xuande Gate to send 500 archers to the city to be on guard, and the horse team of the "Beiping Army Envoy Regiment" had already arrived outside the Xuande Gate, less than 100 steps away from the Han civil and military team.
