"The Turks are going south," a general hurriedly ran into the governor's office in Zhuozhou.

Wei Baoluan got up violently and said, "How many people are here?" ”

"Look at the flag, it should be more than 100,000," the general said.

Wei Baoluan gritted his teeth: "What Rong Gong expected is really not bad, the thieves and the Turks have collusion, otherwise they would not have gone south at this juncture." ”

Fei Qingnu said: "The prince is already attacking Xindu, if Geqian goes south to support, it will be difficult for the prince, but now that the Turks are going south, we can't leave, how can this be good?" ”

Yang Wanshi, who had already arrived from Liaodong, frowned and said: "The letter is the top priority, Zhuojun can be lost, and we will get it back if we lose it, but the letter must be taken, so that the Great Wall of the Khitan Chen soldiers will be topped with a Turk, and the main force of our department will go south as soon as possible to involve the thieves." ”

Lai Hu'er said with a smile: "The northeastern tribes such as the Khitan have always surrendered to the Turks, you let them go to the defense, and be careful to sell us all." ”

The second son, Lai Yuan, nodded and said: "We can't move, we should make every effort to defend the northern border, and we must not let the Turks come in, now that it is close to midsummer, most of Hebei is a plain, so it is convenient for the Turkic iron cavalry to give full play to their advantages, once they come in, the most harmful." ”

Deng Wei frowned and said: "But in this way, the prince will have to face the two strongest rebel armies in Hebei, the strength is not superior, and it is an expeditionary army, and the geographical advantage is also passive, once defeated, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

If Yang Ming is defeated in Xindu, there is only one result, that is, Hebei cannot be saved.

Because the imperial court no longer has the strength to organize a large army, Yang Ming's army is already the last main force, don't expect to move Luoyang's troops, even if the entire Hebei is lost, Luoyang's current 100,000 garrisons can't move.

There was a lot of discussion, some advocating going south, and some advocating going all out to guard the border.

In the end, Lai Hu'er said in a deep voice: "Come to Kai, come to Yuan, come to Hong, garrison Jixian, and the rest will immediately go north to defend the Great Wall." ”

The Great Wall is the national border, the border between Zhuojun and the Turks, most of them are divided by the Great Wall, only a small part of the Great Wall is in the territory of the Great Sui, after all, it is built according to the mountainous situation, where it is suitable to build it, this is the wisdom of the ancients, they did not have satellite navigation, but chose the most suitable place.

The Great Wall of the Great Sui is not as beautiful as we see in later generations, the Great Wall of the Great Sui is mainly an earth-built brick wall and a rammed earth wall, it is precisely because of the perennial wind and sun, there are often places where decay and collapse, so the Great Wall from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qing Dynasty, almost all dynasties, has been constantly building and repairing.

Zhuojun is Beijing, and the Great Wall here is the highest quality section of the entire Great Wall, why, because it is most convenient for the northern nomads to break through from here.

Because the south is Hebei, Hebei is the plain, you go from Shanxi, it is too difficult, the pass fortress is hidden in the mountains, it is impossible to prevent it, unlike Hebei like a horse and a flat river.

Therefore, Laihu'er's concern is right, if the Turks come in from here, the harm will be too great, and half of the North China Plain will become a battlefield.

But he also knows that with his current strength, he may not be able to withstand it.

That's right, there are more than 40,000 people under his command, but they are miscellaneous soldiers, and the real elite ones are less than 5,000 people.

The Turkic army that went south this time, led by Jieli himself, he had just sat on the throne of the Great Khan, and he desperately needed a big victory to consolidate his position, although he was not young, thirty-seven years old, but the eighteen forces of the steppe were intricate, and his prestige was insufficient, so a large-scale war was also a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

The thirteen-year-old eldest nephew Tuli and his uncle Ashina Suni were all taken by him, after all, the tribe under the command of these two people was the elite of the Turks.

The Great Wall is not just a single city wall, but a complete defense system composed of various fortifications such as city walls, enemy towers, gates, dungeons, camps, guards, towns, beacons, etc., which are quite bearable.

It stands to reason that the Turks should attack a little bit and open a breakthrough, but in reality, this is the worst option.

Because behind the Great Wall, there are guards, towns and gates, which we can understand as the places where troops are stationed, and the locations of these acropolis are well thought out and very dense, and can be transmitted with the help of beacon towers, and large-scale assembly can be completed as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the main attack is tantamount to a duel with the main force of the border army, which is not cost-effective, and will suffer a large number of casualties before entering, and the Turks will not choose to do this.

That is, more points are blooming, and scattering the attack on the Great Wall is also equivalent to dispersing the deployment of the Great Sui border army, in fact, it is to attack the enemy in the unknown and fight a surprise.

The Great Wall of Zhuojun is deployed along Yanshan, where people can enter, where the defense will be heavier, after all, there are not thousands of roads, just a few.

Then if you want to attack the Great Wall, you have to take the usual road and cross the mountains and mountains to attack it unprepared.

Therefore, Jieli's combat policy this time was to attack the border with a small force, and most of them quietly touched the Great Wall along various unknown paths.

Such a long Great Wall, you can defend this side, but you can't defend that side, and the attributes of the protector are not defense, the real defense of Niu Bi is the host of the Yanmen Pass, Yu Zhongwen.

In only four days, a Turkic army crossed the Great Wall and attacked Juyong Pass.

The battle of Sinto County has completely begun.

Tuwanxu's 60,000-strong army attacked Changle County, the capital of Xindu County, and Xuan Ting took Zaoqiang County in the east early to cover the east of the army.

Gao Shida also came back, he wanted to bypass Xuan Ting and return to Changle.

Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yuanqing, and Cui Shishu are attacking Changlu and Jingcheng, and if these two places can be taken at the best time, Gao Shida will be finished.

Of course, the premise is that Ge Qian will not go south.

But in fact, Ge Qian came.

He knows better than anyone that if Gao Shida is finished, he will be the turtle in the urn, so he can't let him finish, not to mention that the two have been allied, and he is now elected as the leader of the Hebei Righteous Army, which is equivalent to being in Hebei, the prince of officers and soldiers is the boss, and the anti-thief is the boss.

He also colluded with the Turks and was canonized as the Khan of the South by Jieli, and belonged to the traitor.

Yang Ming, who was in Qinghe, had been paying attention to the frontline battle and was ready to send the most elite Su Lie under his command at any time, but a letter came from Luoyang, which almost blew him up.

Yes, he was angry, everyone knew that he would be angry, but from the expression, it was not visible at all.

"As soon as Han Jiacang moves, Luoyang will be short of food, don't make a mutiny," Li Jiancheng sighed.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "That's not going to happen, with Zhao Guogong here, he will go bankrupt, and he won't let this kind of thing happen." ”

"It's a good thing to say, only 500,000 stone will be allocated, I think, there will be various excuses to ask for food in the future, and it is really going to empty Hanjiacang, and it is almost impossible for Luoyang not to mutiny," Xue Shu said.

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "What is this?" ”

Xue Shu said: "King Qi is now named the head of the Jiangnan Road march, and he has suppressed Wei Xuan, which is equivalent to being on an equal footing with Rong Pingping, after he goes down, I am afraid that he will immediately send troops, and then he will ask Luoyang for food on the grounds that the army has no rations, at that time, will you give it or not?" If you don't give it, delay the counterinsurgency, you can't afford this crime, if you give, Luoyang may mutiny, and Zhao Guogong will die in a disaster. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to be praised by Bo, 500,000 stone grain is only enough for the daily supply of the Jiangdu army, once the war starts, 500,000 is far from enough," Du Ruhui sighed: "Who would have thought that at this juncture, such a thing would come, it's too untimely, our army is in a decisive battle, and the King of Qi is doing things in Jiangdu, which is not a good sign." ”

Dugu Lingyun took a letter in his hand and said: "This is Zhao Guogong's handwriting to His Royal Highness, it is very clear that Yuwenshu met with Zhao Guogong in private, and frankly said that he would try to delay the use of troops in Jiangdu, which is beneficial to us, as long as it can be delayed until the end of the Xindu War, His Royal Highness can hand over the affairs of Hebei to Rong Gong, and then immediately go south to take over the military power of King Qi." ”

Dugu Lingyun is the son of Dugu Kai, the general of the Right Tun Guard, and Dugu Kai is the righteous son of Dugu Xin.

"How do you go south? What about Shandong? Shandong doesn't care? Li Jiancheng said.

Fang Xuanling said: "My main force is going south, where did the Shandong rebels have the courage to stop me?" ”

"It's not a matter of whether you can't stop it," Du Ruhui retorted: "If you go south directly, you will be sandwiched between the southern rebels and the Shandong rebels, which is definitely not a good choice." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "But apart from His Royal Highness going to Jiangdu in person, who else can take over the military power of King Qi?" If you don't seize the military power, the king of Qi will definitely mess up. ”

"It depends on how long Yuwenshu can drag on, this person often goes to the East Palace now, and the relationship with us is easing," Xue Shui said: "He is an old fox, and he knows better than anyone else that his son-in-law can't give him anything." ”

The subordinate officials of the East Palace were very unkind to Yang Jun, because they knew that they were in a hostile state with the Qi Palace, and some people even called Yang Jun by his name, and their hostility was very strong.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Okay, don't affect the overall situation because of this matter, our focus is still in Hebei, in Xindu, the decisive battle has begun, and the victory or defeat will be known in half a month, send people to urge Li Jing to take Zhao Jun and Tu Wanxu as soon as possible, Ge Qian is already ready to move." ”

The communication between him and Laihu'er has not been broken, but the contact cycle will be longer, after all, the communication will have to travel a long way to arrive.

However, the scouts sent out have already brought back news that Ge Qian has moved south.

Scouts are disguised as civilians, go deep into enemy territory, and use various means to probe information, this class of troops is very risky, but it is also the fastest way to get promoted.

In the Great Sui, many of the low-level generals from civilian backgrounds had worked as scout rangers, and in later generations, they were called scouts.

Because this branch of the army not only has to be in good health, but also has a good brain, has a strong quality of individual combat, and at the same time, it also needs to be proficient in camouflage, good at speech, and absolutely loyal.

Li Jiancheng said: "Do you think that the Rongguo Guild will follow south?" ”

They did not yet know that the Turks had come.

Qianniu prepared to come to Yu and said: "Whether you come or not, grandfather will make the most correct decision, and I hope the prince can trust him absolutely." ”

He is the eldest son and grandson of Laihu'er.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "In today's world, in the way of using soldiers, there are only five people I respect, and Rong Gong is one of them. ”

Manchester United are really a piece of, playing like that.
