Richard is not only famous in the Central Plains, but also notorious in Mongolia, he was the one who made the Mongolian army return home on the battlefield of the Song and Yuan dynasties, he was the one who killed the four great kings of Tantra, and even he was the one who made people panic not long ago.

The name of the devil has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Mongolian, and in the hearts of ordinary herdsmen, the name of Ximen melon is even more terrifying than the wolf at night, the wind and snow in winter and the plague in summer.

Seeing that the faces of the civil and military officials below had changed greatly, and their expressions were terrified, Emperor Meng snorted coldly and said, "Look at your appearance!" He's not here yet, just a name scares you like this, what kind of children of the steppe! ”

Si Hanfei frowned and said: "Ximen Gua is neither from a big family, nor is he a famous warlord in the Great Sui like Song Que, where did he come from?" ”

"Yin Sect."

A voice suddenly came from outside the palace, and everyone immediately turned their heads to look, and many of them immediately knelt on the ground as soon as their faces changed, "Master." ”

The Eighth Master slowly walked into the palace, his eyes were like a dead well. Si Hanfei and Meng Huang's faces changed slightly when they saw this scene.

Although it is said that the same status as the Mongolian emperor is recognized by the Mongolian emperor, but seeing the eighth masterba walking into the palace and coming to the civil and military officials is faster than seeing himself kneeling, the Mongolian emperor is still not very comfortable.

The Eighth Master Ba walked to the bottom of the steps, bowed to Emperor Meng with his hands folded, straightened up and said, "Ximen Gua has always been taught well with the Yin Sect, and his disciple Kou Zhong is the half-dragon chosen by the Yin Sect. Some time ago, the Yin Sect rebelled against the army in the Great Sui Dynasty because he was behind it, Ximengua did not have an army, but the Yin Sect did. ”

Emperor Meng frowned and said, "What does the master mean by those armies, all of them are from the Yin Sect?" ”

Ba Shiba nodded and said, "If it was just one Pingzi Pass, the problem is that every border pass attacked by the Mongol army has an army of the Yin Sect in time. This is intriguing, which shows that the Ximen melon and the Yin Sect have long expected that we will take action, so they will gather troops at the border pass in advance and wait for the rabbit. ”

Emperor Meng nodded approvingly, "Master's words are reasonable. ”

Si Hanfei suddenly stared at Bashi Ba at this time and said, "Bashi Ba, how did you know about the border?" ”

Ba Shiba smiled and said, "There are also tantric temples on the border, and it is not difficult to know these things. The difficult thing is what we do next, whether to continue the offensive or to stop fighting. ”

Emperor Meng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the Mongolian army has suffered a big loss on the border now, and those who know a little bit of common sense also know that they should temporarily avoid the edge now, but listening to the words of the Eighth Division, how can they still have the intention of continuing to attack?

He said softly, "What does the master think about this?" ”

A cold light flashed in Bashiba's eyes, and he said coldly: "I thought that the Great Sui Border Pass could not be broken, but the Ximen melon could not be removed!" ”

…………………………………………

On the city wall of Pingzi Pass.

After several days of repairs, the burned city wall of Pingziguan has been restored, except for some black burnt marks, there is no sign that there was a raging fire here a few days ago.

Kou Zhong came to the city wall, looked around, and then his eyes lit up, and he walked towards the middle of the city wall, came behind Richard, and called softly.

"Master."

Richard turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Got news?" ”

Kou Zhong nodded and said excitedly: "All the border passes of the Great Sui have been guarded, the Mongol Tatars have been defeated, and now everyone on the border is saying that we are heroes and saviors." ”

Richard asked again: "Then how did Li Jiancheng and the coalition army fight?" ”

Kou Zhong said: "The information from Tsing Yi Lou said that the first batch of troops drawn from the border had arrived at Tiancheng Gorge, and Li Jiancheng led the army and the coalition army to fight in Tiancheng Gorge, and no one bargained, and now the two sides have returned to the same state as before. I think Li Jiancheng should want to wait for the reinforcements to arrive completely, and then win or lose with Song Que. ”

Richard chuckled softly: "At the beginning, Song Que once defeated Yang Jian's 100,000 army with 10,000 troops, and it was not a wise choice to defeat the combined forces of Duzun Fort and Lingnan by numbers. ”

Kou Zhong turned his head to look outside Pingzi Pass, and the darkness in the distance seemed to be like a black beast about to move, as if he wanted to swallow Pingzi Pass in one gulp.

He opened his mouth to speak, but finally couldn't help but say, "Master... Do you say that the Mongolian Tatars will come back? ”

Richard said: "This time they suffered a big loss, and they should not come again in a short time." But one day, there will still be a fierce battle on this border, and if it is a dog, it will not dare to come again, but the Tartars are different, they are like the wolves of the steppe, and whoever beats them, they must take revenge. ”

A month later, news came again from within the Great Sui.

After all the border reinforcements arrived, Li Jiancheng once again launched an offensive against the combined forces of Duzunbao and the Song lords, and the coalition forces were defeated and retreated quickly. Li Jiancheng and Chen Sheng pursued, but when they crossed the Tianmen Gorge, they never thought that the mountain walls on both sides of the Tiancheng Gorge had already been planted with explosives by the coalition forces, and Li Valve's army suffered heavy losses.

After reading the information, Richard couldn't help but scold: "This Li Jiancheng is really an idiot." Such a trick of showing weakness to the enemy can even be fooled. ”

Liu Hongyan said with a smile: "But this is not completely bad news, Tiancheng Gorge is blocked, and the coalition forces can only take a detour if they want to attack Chang'an, and Chang'an is safe in a short time." Moreover, Li Jiancheng's status in the hearts of the people plummeted, and he was also scolded in the court, and Yang Guang asked him to transfer the troops drawn from the border back to the border as soon as possible. ”

"What do you do when everyone is dead, let Li Jiancheng make a banner and bring the souls of the dead all the way back to the border?"

Richard sneered, he even had a feeling of hatred for this Li Jiancheng in his heart, he thought that this guy would be able to fight with the coalition army no matter how straw he was, but he was planted under Song Que's shallow strategy, the coalition army retreated safely, and Li Zhu's army suffered heavy losses.

Liu Hongyan said with a smile: "I heard that in order to gather this army, Li Valve put all his private troops in, and temporarily recruited a lot of civilians, which can be regarded as a total number. But it's good that they're here, and we can finally stop them from continuing to watch the gate. ”

For more than a month, she couldn't go anywhere in Pingziguan every day, and the days when the post station couldn't use the Jianghu forum really made Liu Hongyan a little tired, and now she can finally get rid of this life, of course she is happy in her heart.

Richard sighed and said, "Inform the old tsundere that they will be ready to retreat according to the original plan in a month." ”
