Chapter Eighty-Five: The Battle Situation
Bi Xuan died quietly, and even though he had been missing for more than three months, the Turks did not find anything strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The huge confidence caused the Turks to imagine what would happen to Bi Xuan. So the reason why Bi Xuan didn't return for a long time may be because there are other things involved, or maybe Grandmaster Bi Xuan has gone to retreat somewhere.
However, without Bi Xuan's return, the Western Turks could not send troops again, so they could only hold their back, and stay on the sidelines like the Western 'Tuyuhun', waiting for the results of the Li Valve and the Eastern Turkic coalition army......
It was a matter of war, and various situations were not so easy to predict, and at the beginning, the officials of the Sui court thought that the Eastern Turks would inevitably retreat, and even Shi Zhixuan thought so.
But they thought about it, how could Li Valve, who was originally able to successfully steal the world, not think of it?
Moreover, now those seven surnamed gate valves in Guanlong, almost all of them and Li Valve are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and in the face of Yang Guang's sharpening knife, they are all in a loss.
In such a situation, how can those old and young strategists in the family not work together to solve the dilemma.
Therefore, after seeing that the Eastern Turks wanted to rebel, the nobles of Guanlong no longer sat back and watched the excitement, and there were people who contributed people, money and money, and countless food materials and carts to supply Li Valve and the Eastern Turkic coalition army.
Coupled with the good words and the beautiful women's offensive, how could the stupid people of the Eastern Turks resist, and gradually dissipated their antipathy, and after transporting a large amount of supplies back to the steppe, these Eastern Turks stayed on the front line with peace of mind, and continued to confront the Sui Dynasty border pass in conjunction with Li Valve.
The huge supplies transported back to the steppe made the Eastern Turkic royal court very happy, and under the bewitchment of the three-inch tongue of the envoy of the Li Valve, the Eastern Turks immediately increased their troops, gathered millions of men and horses, and went south to support.
At the end of June, the Eastern Turkic army was reinforced, set up a border pass, and continued to wage a tug-of-war with the border guards of the Sui court.
However, Sui Ting had abundant food and grass with the help of Jing Tian, and the border city had sufficient armaments, and he was not afraid of the more than two million horses of the Li Lord's coalition army.
In addition, the Western Turks are shrinking, so Pei Renji transferred 60,000 elite soldiers from the northern border pass, and now he is not afraid of the coalition army attacking the city.
The situation in the north of the Sui court fell into a stalemate......
Although the officials made a mistake in their judgment, Yang Guang in the palace did not care, but smiled all day long, because the situation in the south had already appeared to be defensive and attacking.
After nearly a year of confrontation, the rebel coalition forces in the south failed to see the Sui army in supply danger as they wished, but under the stalemate for a long time, the coalition army began to run out of food and grass.
The world is in chaos, the peasants are miserable, not only are there rebels from all over the country looting, but there are also temples that can only enter but not leave. In this way, how many farmers can still cultivate their fields with peace of mind.
Without farming, there was naturally not much grain and grass for the rebels to loot for the past year. And the rebels are in the millions, and the consumption is not small.
Now, millions of rebels can only shrink their food and endure hunger, and their morale is already low, and if they are so hungry, the morale of the rebels will almost disappear.
And the counterattack of the Sui army began from this.
No more sticking to the city, no more waiting for an opportunity. Now in every battle, almost the Sui army took the initiative to attack, forcing the rebel battalion to retreat again and again.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have only focused on infighting, even if Yang Guang has the influence of Jing Tian, he can't jump out of this circle.
Therefore, the war in the north was hardly taken to Yang Guang's heart, but once the situation of infighting in the south showed victory, Yang Guang began to be excited......
As a result, the Sui court suddenly moved as a whole, and Song Que absorbed the perception of the battle of the grandmaster, and immediately went to the northeast to preside over the counterattack against the Li Valve and the Eastern Turkic coalition army.
Shi Zhixuan had already brought the remains of his wife Bi Xiuxin to the Dao Palace and handed them over to Jing Tian. He also told his daughter Shi Qingxuan to serve carefully under Jing Tian's knees. Then Shi Zhixuan ordered him to go south and go straight to Kou Zhong's side to support.
At the beginning of August, the coalition forces outside Xiangyang suddenly collapsed, and the various units scattered and fled south, while the Sui army gave up other forces and pursued Du Fuwei's army, and finally annihilated one of them, so that Du Fuwei, who had successfully escaped, only took nearly 1,000 followers.
The reason why this situation occurred was because Kou Zhong's side finally reversed the stalemate of the battle, and under Shi Zhixuan's 'beheading' operation, Li Mi's Wagang army finally collapsed, and Kou Zhong seized the opportunity to break through it in one attack.
The rebels' back road was ended, and they couldn't care about continuing to stalemate with Xiangyang, so when the news reached the front line, the leaders of the coalition forces were immediately terrified, and they hurriedly reined in their own troops, and suddenly scattered and fled, each looking for a way to retreat. The coalition forces were thus dispersed.
And Du Fuwei, who had no way back at all, was regarded as the primary target of extermination by the Sui army, who made him the most capable of doing things and had more prestige among the rebels......
The rebels collapsed, while the Sui army was gaining momentum.
It took Kou Zhong two months to stabilize the area around Wagang, and then continued north, chasing Dou Jiande.
The Xiangyang Sui army, led by Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng respectively, went south by separate routes to exterminate the fleeing rebels.
By the end of the year, the Central Plains had been recovered and all parties were pacified. And the rebels in the world, now only the two medium-sized forces of Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou fled to the northeast.
The rest of the rebel leaders such as Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Xiao Mo were all short of subordinates, and they united with only 5,000 men, and they also secretly ran to Guanlong, claiming to be under the command of Li Valve.
The rebels in the world gathered again, but they no longer discussed together, because Li Valve was already the largest force in the rebel army today, so the rest of the rebel leaders could only obediently surrender to their orders and let Li Valve send them.
In the face of the imposing Sui army, Li had no choice but to gather his troops and horses while sending an envoy north again to contact the two Hu tribes of 'Murwei' and 'Yan Ya'.
With many promises of benefits, Li finally borrowed an army of three million from the two Hu tribes. Coupled with the previous two million military horses, and the army brought by the rebels to Guanlong, Li Zhu gathered more than 6 million troops, known as 10 million, and once again violated the pass.
However, with such a clear general trend in the world, the officials of the Sui Court had already expected it. Therefore, Yang Guang transferred troops to the north early and increased Pei Renji's troops.
As a result, the Sui army guarded 300,000 elite soldiers at the border pass, plus one million surrendered troops, and once again launched a confrontation with the rebels led by Li Zhu.
If it was civil strife before, now it is a war of nations......
The grass and trees have been good with the new year, and the winter buds account for a year.
Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, it was 618 A.D., the '12th year of the great cause' of the Sui Dynasty.
This year, if calculated according to the history books, should have been the year of Yang Guang's death and the fall of the Sui Dynasty. And this year is also a year when the turmoil really set off and the heroes from all over the country launched a year of attacking each other.
However, the trend of history was changed by Jing Tian alone, and in the spring of this year, there was no war in the Central Plains, and the people recuperated.
Although there are still some people everywhere who are apprehensive, they are showing a state of recovery. The Sui army did not disturb the people, and there were no more chaotic bandits and looting in various places, and the people began to change their views on the Sui court and gradually supported it.
Those officials who have been spawned by the 'helmet of knowledge indoctrination' have finally come into play. After the rebels fled north and the Central Plains was pacified, those officials were immediately sent by Yang Guang to take up their posts in various places, and combined with the concepts of later generations, they began to 'break and stand' to rectify the localities.
But this thriving world scene did not make Yang Guang laugh for long, because a piece of news quickly spread all over the world - Guan Long Li Yuan got the jade seal of the He family.
Whoop -
In the harem, Yang Guang shot angrily and smashed a table case again, his face was swollen and red, and he was angry.
"Thief-" roared, Yang Guanghu's eyes were fierce, and he glanced at the guards who were bent over, and the more he looked, the more angry he became.
"Your Majesty, please rest your anger." A beautiful woman with a peerless appearance carefully comforted Yang Guang behind her.
"How does this make me angry!" Yang Guang turned his head, still roaring angrily: "Seeing that the world is stable, that Li family traitor!" Actually made such an accident again! He's trying to mess with the people! ā
"This ...... The concubines don't understand the ...... of court politics" Empress Xiao carefully considered her rhetoric and said slowly: "But Your Majesty's sergeants are invincible, and the Central Plains are recovered, so there won't be any more waves, right?" ā
"I can't swallow this bad breath!" Yang Guang's anger decreased slightly, and he snorted coldly.
Sitting down on the bed, Yang Guang gasped heavily, looked up under Empress Xiao's Fushun massage, and asked Zhu Yuyan who was standing in the hall, "Say it!" And what bad news! ā
"Back to Your Majesty." Zhu Yuyan arched her hand: "There is no information about the turmoil in the Central Plains, although the people are panicked, but under the calm situation, it is difficult to cause any waves." ā
"Humph! Good news! Yang Guang's anger subsided again, and after thinking about it, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, and instructed Zhu Yuyan: "Spread my oracle, order the defenders in all parts of the country to step up the suppression and confiscation of those landlords of the Shi clan, if you dare to resist, destroy them!" ā
"Whoa." Zhu Yuyan is now obedient, and she only takes responsibility with peace of mind, and no longer makes any presumptuous remarks.
Yang Guang glanced at Zhu Yuyan, who had become like gold, and just when Empress Xiao couldn't help but think, Yang Guang opened his mouth and asked Zhu Yuyan: "Aren't there many people with strong martial arts in your Demon Gate?" Let them sneak to Guanlong and take the jade seal back for me! ā
"This ...... Your Majesty's atonement. Zhu Yuyan looked embarrassed.
"How?" Yang Guang asked lightly.
"Your Majesty knows that at the beginning, Tianzun had ordered Weichen to clean up the portal, so the remaining warriors are not of great use." Zhu Yuyan replied seriously: "The surviving people are specialized in business, and the rest of them only know how to kill and are not qualified for the job of secret agents." ā
Yang Guang frowned when he heard this, he remembered that he seemed to have heard of this at the beginning.
After thinking about it, Yang Guang asked again: "Aiqing, if the 'great masters' like Hu Guogong and Pei Aiqing can successfully break through the battle and recapture the jade seal?" ā
"There is little hope." Zhu Yuyan shook her head slightly.
"Not even them?" Yang Guang was puzzled.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Yuyan felt that she had said a little too much today, but Yang Guang asked, and she was not good at being silent, so she pondered it for a while and said: "As far as the minister knows, the jade seal is dedicated to Buddhism, and now in Guanlong, there are many warriors. Even if Guogong and Master Pei have peerless martial arts, they are not besieged by many Buddhist masters. A stalemate may last long, and it will even attract an army to besiege it. ā
"Buddhism! It's his Buddha again! Yang Guang's anger that he had finally suppressed rose again, got up angrily, and shouted to Zhu Yuyan: "Spread my will!" Let the domestic army destroy the Buddha! ā
"Your Majesty, no!" Zhu Yuyan hurriedly stopped.
"Huh!?" Yang Guanghu was stunned, and looked at Zhu Yuyan with a very unkind expression.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry for a while, and then disrupt the deployment of the Heavenly Venerable Immortal." Zhu Yuyan knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly carried Jing Tian out.
"Huh? Tianzun, oh yes! Tianzun! Yang Guang slapped his forehead, and immediately strode out of the house, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Someone! Swing the road palace! ā
"Whoa!" The guards hurried to make arrangements.
Zhu Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, then was slightly stunned, and looked at the vague line of sight.
Bowing slightly, she said hello to Empress Xiao, who was staring at her, and after receiving a smile response, Zhu Yuyan turned around and walked with Yang Guang......
In the Dao Palace, the four figures sat quietly, two meditated and practiced, and two looked through books.
A year has passed, Ning Daoqi, who is sitting in Xiangyang, has already returned to complete his work, and he practices with Jing Tian, the Taoist ancestor, with Wang Yuanzhi every day, and his life is leisurely and he has nothing to worry about.
Wanwan's temperament has changed greatly, although the elf's habits have not changed, but now the whole person looks much calmer, and when he reads the history books, he often shows sadness and compassion.
Jing Tian has not changed much in this year, and he still looks through the books collected by Yang Guang every day, and now he has read most of them.
A soothing and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from outside the temple, causing the four people in the Taoist temple to open their eyes and look at the door.
A beautiful woman with a slender appearance, with a slender fairy spirit, appeared at the door of the Taoist temple.
"Qing Xuan greets all the seniors, hello Miss Wanwan." The sound is as soft as a clear spring, without fireworks in the world.
This woman, Shi Qingxuan, is Shi Zhixuan's daughter, and was arranged by Shi Zhixuan to serve under Jing Tian's knees.
However, Jing Tian and the others don't need to serve, and even if they do, the maids in the palace are more professional than Shi Qingxuan.
Therefore, a few days after Shi Qingxuan was sent, Jing Tian arranged for her to go to 'Taile Cheng' to do things, after all, Shi Qingxuan's flute skills were extraordinary, and she was almost on the verge of Taoism.
However, Shi Qingxuan remembered her father's advice, and after work, she came to the Dao Palace to serve diligently, and took over the arrangement of meals and other matters.
Such a well-behaved woman, of course, was liked by Ning Daoqi and Wang Yuanzhi, Jing Tian also had a good impression of her, and even the little witch Wanwan gradually became kind to Shi Qingxuan.
"Sister Qingxuan is here." Seeing Shi Qingxuan's arrival, Wanwan immediately got up with a smile, put down the book in her hand and said, "I don't know the time to read, it's noon in the blink of an eye, it's really annoying Sister Qingxuan." ā
"No worries, this is what Qing Xuan should do." Shi Qingxuan said with a soft smile, turned around and waved his arms, ordering the two palace maids who followed to bring the dinner plates into the house.
"Sister is really, she looks like a useless lady." Wanwan made a joke, and then kindly took Shi Qingxuan and walked into the house.
As soon as she entered the door, Wanwan suddenly paused and turned her head to look at the palace gate......
