In April, when Chang'an arrives in summer, the white belly of the fish on the horizon breaks a wisp of gold, pushing the dark edge to spread out in the city, and the birds fly over the palace buildings of the imperial city in the early morning.

Outside the Wenzhao Palace, the respective circles of civil and military who were waiting for the previous dynasty gathered to speak, and at the end of the corridor around the eaves, the emperor walked with a dragon leaping tiger in his hand, and beside him was his brother Yang Su, talking while walking.

"The towns are ready, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the armies in the border towns have been properly prepared, the prince is sitting in Luoyang, and the Chinese army led by the second prince is also stepping up drills, and can support the towns at any time. ”

Yang Jian pursed his lips and walked by the guard, pulled out the sword on the other party's waist and looked at it, and when he heard the words of the clan brother, he put the sword into the sheath and continued to walk forward.

"This is what they should do, and they should not be praised, and as for the rampant Turkic Khan, I will hurt them this time!"

He looked ahead, and several civil and military circles gathered outside the eaves slapped their palms on the stone pillar, and their tone contained anger.

"When I was still in Zhou as a general, I listened to a sentence for a long time: 'Zhou people are worried about the east, and they are afraid of Qi and their friendship; 'Shame!'

Bang!

Another palm clapped, Yang Jian turned around and looked at his brother, "When Zhou and Qi were still there, both countries were afraid that the Turks would fall to each other, so they both earned to make friends with each other, make offerings, take the wealth of a country, and feed this group of wolves, hehe, how can wolves be fed, and those who can be fed can only be dogs!"

Yang Su lowered his face, bowed slightly, and did not dare to look at his angry brother, even if he was successful in cultivation, he could be described as a master, but after all, he was insurmountable as a courtier.

"Your Majesty, what I'm saying is that now that Zhou and Qi are no longer there, the Turks still compare my Great Sui to the bullying of the two countries, which should be suitable for them to show what kind of behemoth the Great Sui after the unification of Kyushu should be. ”

"Let's go, all the civil and military forces are still waiting for me, with you, the Duke of Yueguo!"

The emperor restrained his temper, turned around and walked towards the Wenzhao Palace, and his voice was also ringing.

"Yue Guogong keep up, when it is time for you and me to fight, don't fall behind!"

Behind, Yang Su stood up solemnly, although the two of them had gray temples, but they seemed to have returned to the years of attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty together, arched their hands towards the back of the striding back, threw off their sleeves, followed closely, and beckoned the waiting civil and military to enter the palace together.

Yang Su, who was on the side, raised his head, the sky was already bright, shining on his face, his eyes narrowed, there are Ming Jun in the world, both civil and military, and the prosperity in his heart should not be far away.

"Go to court!"

In the voice of the eunuch's sharp scream, Yang Su was full of hope, and the last one to enter the main hall, the bird that stopped at the corner of the eaves combed its wings, and was startled by the sharp and piercing voice and flew out.

The wings stretched out across the sky, across the imperial city, outside are rows of houses, criss-crossed long streets and alleys, the crowd is disturbing and shouting, the woman tidies up the house, pushes open the window lattice to hang the washed clothes, the husband picks up the burden and says goodbye to his wife and children with a smile, and walks into the long street, the craftsman of the dyeing workshop shouts and pulls up the cloth that has been infected all night and unfolds it in the sun, revealing all kinds of colors; the shy girl sits in front of the window, pinching Juupa and shyly eavesdropping on the conversation of the matchmaker and parents outside the house, and the future man in her heart gradually reveals her outline.

Birds flying through the sky flew past the soldiers on patrol, over the towering walls to the north, and beyond the mountains, the sky grew overcast, as if rain was about to fall.

On the dry ground, the insects among the weeds wriggled and climbed the tips of the leaves, and at a certain moment, the silent dust particles shook slightly, climbing above the insects on the tips of the grass, and the shadows fell, and a horse's hoof made hoof prints on the ground, and quickly stepped to the ground in front of them.

Da Da Da ......

The war horse was rushing, on the undulating horseback, the knight wearing the Sui army armor bent the bow sideways, with a whoosh, the arrow shot out of the string, and there was a voice in the rear that screamed, and the pursuing Turkic cavalry turned over and fell off the horse with blood flowers, stirring the stirrups and dragging the ground for a moment, and several horsemen on both sides crossed over, and they all pulled their bows and arrows, and shot towards the Sui scouts in front.

The arrows flew down, and they were stuck on the ground along the way behind the fleeing Sui army scout horses, and between the hills on both sides of the past, there were faint fine stones and mud blocks that could not be seen sliding down at this time.

In the hidden place of the hill, there are more than a dozen eyes looking at the pursuing Turkic cavalry below, someone blows the fire fold, lights the arrow wrapped in fire oil, the flame burns, the figure with the bow raises its arm downward, suddenly releases the thumb, and the bowstring makes a trilling sound of 'bang'.

Boom –

The flaming arrows were nailed to the ground of the fleeing scouts, and a wall of fire was instantly raised, stopping the eight pursuing Turkic cavalry.

"The Sui people have an ambush!" the Turkic words resounded among the eight people, one of them rode the reins, turned the direction, and at some point there was a large rock blocking the retreat.

"Kill!"

In an instant, there were loud voices on the hills on both sides, and more than a dozen arrows were shot below, and the eight horsemen were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, holding their shoulders and arms and wailing, and the remaining three Turkic cavalrymen wielded their blades and spears desperately, and they didn't have time to leave.

Behind the rocks on the hills on both sides, there were already Sui soldiers who rushed down frantically with bladed spears, stabbed with spearheads, and the war horses raised their front hooves with a sad roar, and lifted the Turkic cavalry off their backs, rolling, before he could get up, the ambushed Sui soldiers rushed over, and cut off his head with a knife.

The brief confrontation stopped, and the Sui soldier who had chopped off his head held his bloody head and shouted at the man who was being chased on horseback before:

"Captain Qu, is there another group of Turks?"

The rest of the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield around and burying the corpses and blood stains raised their heads to look, and the knight who had fled before urged the horse to come back slowly, dismounted with a smile, took off the iron helmet on his head, and punched the soldier in the shoulder.

"Think beautifully, the Turks are not fools, they have suffered two losses, they will definitely ambush in turn, accept it when they see it, go back quickly, and escort grain and grass to the front-line soldiers. ”

The knight is tall and tight, and he is tightened by a scout armor, it is Qu Yuanfeng who went to the front line to fight, at first he thought that he could get a big battle to fight, but the general named Daxi Changru didn't know if it was because of his relationship in Chang'an, or he valued him too much, and was transferred to the rear camp to escort grain and grass.

From March to April, the war in the north had begun, and the Turkic Shabalu Khan, led the second khan, Apo Khan, Datou Khan, Buli Khan and others, to lead a total of 400,000 troops to attack the south of the Great Wall, and the Sui army, which had already been properly arranged, launched a counterattack in eight directions.

For a while, the beacons were everywhere, but Qu Yuanfeng heard that there were gains everywhere, but there was not much movement on his side, so he had to take advantage of the time when he was escorting grain and grass to lure the Turkic cavalry to kill, first, to cut off the enemy's 'eyes' to probe the rear, and secondly, to sharpen his own battle formation.

"I don't know how long it will take to see a bigger battle. ”

Escorting the grain and grass to the front-line military camp, counting the number of grain and grass, Qu Yuanfeng handed over the errand to find the ordnance camp, took out the long sword given to him by the master at his waist, sat on the grass, and polished it with a stone.

Looking at Jian Feng's reflected face, he exhaled softly.

"Master doesn't know what he's doing, he should still be guarding his wife in Qixia Mountain, write a letter to Master to report his peace another day, after so many days, I should be worried." ”

After lazily basking in the sun for a while, the soldiers under his command had already assembled, and came over to inform Qu Yuanfeng that it was time to go back to the rear baggage camp, and the latter touched a command flag inserted in his back, and sighed heavily, it was useless.

"Let's go!"

Qu Yuanfeng returned to the back camp gate, turned over and waved his hand at the two hundred soldiers behind him, and the moment he whipped and ran out of the camp, he suddenly heard something, stopped his horse, and listened sideways.

Knock –

Knock knock knock!

The sound of war drums came from the front battalion, and the soldiers who were originally doing their own things in the battalion swarmed towards the school grounds, and there were voices shouting.

"The Turks are coming!"

"It's the Turkic Khan Sha Bolu who personally leads the army!"

The camp was chaotic and orderly, a Taoist figure gathered and lined up the military formation towards the school field, Qu Yuanfeng, who was originally leaving, grabbed the belly of the horse, and joined in with two hundred of his subordinates, looking at the high point of the general's platform, the general named Da Xi Changru was dressed in military uniform, dragged his cloak and strode up, pulled out the sword at his waist and held it high in the sky, and roared!

"The enemy is coming, boys, prepare for war!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Dense soldiers screamed, spears smashed into the ground like a forest, and shook the sky.

Qu Yuanfeng swung his sword scabbard and knocked on the saddle when the tide was surging in the center, and the battle finally made him wait, even if there were only more than 3,000 people, he was not afraid.

...... Master, look at how Yuan Feng gives you a long face and defends me against strong enemies in the Great Sui!

The beacon smoke swept across the earth, and the surging screams went to the south with the skylight, and the scholars who thought of it were on the way to Chang'an in front of them.
