Two hundred and seventy ninth chapter: The Battle of Yanmen Pass Twenty-one
The messenger who came from the grassland knelt in front of Shibi and Duoxin. Although Shibi and Duoxin couldn't believe his words, they had to believe it because they both recognized the messenger in front of them. He is a close confidant around Kehe Dun.
The so-called Kehe Dun is the wife of the great Turkic Khan. The current Kehe Dun, in Han Chinese terms, should be regarded as the stepmother of the three Shibi brothers. And the current Kehe Dun is a clan member of the Sui Dynasty. Daughter. In order to win over the Turks, the late emperor made her a princess, gave her the name Yicheng, and married her to Qimin Khan. This was more than ten years ago. However, Princess Yicheng married Qimin Khan. Not long after, Qimin Khan died. According to the custom of the Turks, a son can inherit everything from his father, including his father's women. Therefore, Princess Yicheng became Shibi's wife.
However, after Princess Yicheng became Shibi's Kehe Dun, she has been doing her best to fulfill her duties. This has earned the respect of the three Shibi brothers. Therefore, Shibi's sneak attack on Yanmen Pass this time can be assured. The affairs of the Turkic Royal Court were left to Princess Yicheng to take care of. Now Princess Yicheng has dispatched her cronies to come quickly to inform the emperor. This shows how critical the matter has become.
When he thought about this joint, Shi Bi's hands couldn't help but tremble. He stared at the messenger in front of him and asked sternly: "What you just said is true. The Tiele people really dare to send troops to attack the royal court. They have so much courage."
The messenger traveled all the way from the Turkic Royal Court to Yanmen Pass, but was still frightened by Shibi. It was so painful in his heart. But no matter how painful he felt, he did not dare to say it out loud. He could only say honestly: " Khan. The villain dare not lie. The Xue Yantuo tribe and the Qixin tribe of Tiele people jointly dispatched 10,000 cavalry. They sent troops from Jinshan to attack the royal court. Kehe Dun had organized the nobles of the royal court to evacuate and sent the villain here. .Please ask the Great Khan to return his troops quickly."
"Boom." Shibi punched the armrest of the chair he made hard. The armrest was immediately broken by Shibi. Shibi's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth. He just wanted to kill. Before. Bi was still thinking about whether Princess Yicheng missed the Sui Emperor and wanted to deceive him back. But for something like this, Princess Yicheng would never deceive him. It can be seen that it was really Tiele. The soldiers sent out troops. Shi Bi couldn't help but roared: "Damn Tiele people. You are really so bold."
"Brother." Duoxin beside him was anxious. The Turkic Royal Court is not only a symbol of the Turkic royal family, but also a gathering place for all the Turkic nobles. If the Turkic Royal Court is attacked, then the order that the entire Turks have finally established must be . will be destroyed in one day. It also means that all the years of hard work of the three brothers will be wasted.
"Great sweat." Kang Sheoli, who was beside him, also took a step forward and shouted to Shibi: "Hurry up and give the order. The Sui army in the south now has reached 60,000. Among them, Qu Tutong's Xidu Iron armor. The Xidu Iron Armor can be regarded as the nemesis of our Turkic cavalry. If there is a real confrontation, our Turkic army will also suffer heavy losses. By then, we will not be able to repel the Tiele people."
Last night, Shi Bi and others learned that the Sui army's reinforcements had appeared again. According to the scout's description and the extra military flag with the word "Qu", Shi Bi and others also analyzed that they came this time. It must be the Xidu Iron Armor stationed in Chang'an. At the beginning of last night, he had already begun to think about retreating. Now such a thing happened again. How could he still have the idea of staying at the beginning of the night? Although he was full of unwillingness, he still had the intention to retreat. Gritting his teeth, he shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order. Retreat the troops."
The initial military order was quickly spread throughout the entire camp. For a time, the entire camp was in an uproar. But what was more powerful was the cheers of the Turkic soldiers. From the grassland to Yanmen Pass, it was only more than half way. Months, but just over half a month. It can be said that these Turkic soldiers have suffered enough from the pain of war. Every time they fight, they will lose some comrades and even brothers. God knows whether they will lose their lives in the next moment. It's themselves. The Turks are tired of this kind of battle with no chance of winning. They are looking forward to the Khan's order to let them return to their homeland.
More than half an hour later, the news that the Turks were leaving reached the Sui army camp in the south. After hearing the news, Wan He, Li Jing, Pei Xingyan and Liu Wenjing could not help but stand up. The four faces Everyone was full of excitement. They came to rescue Yanmen Pass this time. They also had the idea of taking a gamble with their lives. Although the previous plans went smoothly, the battlefield was changing rapidly. No one knew the next moment. What will happen? Now that they know that the Turks are finally retreating, they can no longer contain the joy in their hearts.
"That's great. That's great." Li Jing and Liu Wenjing had some self-control and just smiled. But Wan He didn't care so much. He jumped up and ran around the entire camp with joy. Go. As he ran, he muttered: "It's developed. It's developed. It's really developed this time."
Seeing Wan He's happy look, Li Jing couldn't help but laugh. Of course he knew what Wan He meant by being developed. This time, the Holy Emperor was besieged at Yanmen Pass. Only Wan He came to rescue him with an army. .Although I don’t know why the Turks withdrew their troops in the end, Wanhe’s contribution to the rescue cannot be erased. Wanhe was originally a close confidant of the emperor. The emperor will definitely reward him no less. I'm afraid Wan He is not just getting promoted this time.
On the contrary, Liu Wenjing couldn't help but frown when she saw Wan He's behavior. In Liu Wenjing's opinion, Wan He behaved without any sense. He was not a person who wanted to do big things at all. And Liu Wenjing's expression was also... It fell into the eyes of Pei Xingyan. Pei Xingyan reached out and gently pulled Li Jing next to him. He winked at Li Jing. Li Jing also nodded lightly. Then he stepped forward with a smile and said to Wan He: " Brother Wan, although the Turks have withdrawn, this matter is not over yet."
"Ah, oh, I know." Wan He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "What Brother Li said means that we should rush to Yanmen Pass immediately to ask for credit from the Holy One. Yes, yes, this matter cannot be delayed. Others don't know about the little people around the Holy One. Don't I know it yet? When the Turks retreat, these little people will definitely rush to show their merits to the Holy One. Mommy. My credit cannot be taken away by these villains."
Liu Wenjing couldn't help but laugh after hearing Wan He's eager words. But his smile was a sneer, a disdainful and contemptuous smile. In his opinion, Wan He was actually what he said. Such a villain. At the same time, Liu Wenjing was also secretly thinking about her future. He betrayed Li Yuan this time. He will definitely not be able to stay in Taiyuan from now on. Why not use the secret message written by Shibi to Li Yuan that he intercepted earlier? Xin. Seeking a life experience from the emperor. However, the secret letter is in Wan He's hands. It seems that he has to find a way to get the secret letter.
What was in Liu Wenjing's mind? Others naturally didn't know. Li Jing heard Wan He's words, but he also laughed. He shook his head and said: "No. No. Brother Wan, you guessed wrong. I didn't mean to say that." We must step up our efforts to seize the credit. Instead, we must prepare now to send troops to pursue the Turkic army."
"Uh." Hearing what Li Jing said, Wan He froze immediately. The surprise on his face gradually turned into panic. Finally, he jumped up and stepped back. He stared at Li Jing and shouted loudly: "Pursue the Turkic army. Brother Li, don't be kidding me. How can we pursue the Turkic army with the little strength we have now? Besides, we hid our strength before and deceived the Turks away. If we send out troops to chase, wouldn't it be everything? It’s all exposed. No. No. Absolutely not.”
Seeing that Wan He was so afraid, Li Jing also hurriedly explained: "No, Brother Wan, if we stand still, the secret will be revealed. Just imagine, if the reinforcements from the Central Plains have really arrived here, and they happen to see the Turkic army retreat, then they will Do something."
In any case, Wan He can be considered a person who has led soldiers. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. Finally he understood. He nodded repeatedly and said: "If the reinforcements from the Central Plains really arrive, and see this situation, they will naturally send troops to pursue them. These Turks have been besieging Yanmen Pass for many days. How can they be allowed to come and leave at will? But... we are not bluffing now. There are no reinforcements from the Central Plains at all."
"Haha. That's why we have to send troops. And we must summon all the troops to attack." Li Jing smiled faintly and replied unhurriedly: "The reinforcements from the Central Plains are sent by various factions. The Turks cannot not know this. So we attack with one army. The Turks will not suspect anything. There are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in one line. How many reinforcements will there be? As long as the Turks think of this, I am afraid that they will Run faster."
Hearing what Li Jing said, Wan He just thought about it for a moment and finally understood everything. However, Wan He also thought of another thing. He nodded and high-fived: "Yes, yes, that's what we have to do. That's it. Then we can put on a good show in front of the Holy One, sacrificing our lives to defeat the enemy in order to save the Holy Master. Hahahahaha. Let’s see how those villains can still take my credit.”
Seeing Wan He looking up to the sky and laughing, Li Jing and Pei Xingyan both laughed helplessly. Although Liu Wenjing's face was also filled with smiles, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.
