In the middle of May of the 11th year of Daye, the Turkic Khan Ashinaduji led 300,000 wolf cavalry south, and without bloodshed, they took down Dali City, Dingxiang County, and took all the food and grass in the city. After only half a day of rest, they turned east and broke into Mayi County along the Great Wall.

Three hundred thousand cavalry attacked at the Great Wall of Wuzhou Mountain at night. Before the beacon tower on the Great Wall could even send out the beacon fire, it was completely controlled by the Turkic vanguard.

On the same day, Heng'an and Yunri were successively lost. The two cities had only more than a thousand defenders. Surrounded by 300,000 wolf cavalry, the defenders only lasted for less than an hour, and the two cities were successively destroyed. Fortunately, Shibi followed Zhang Yong's advice and did not massacre. He just collected all the food and grass, and then left a team of thousands of people in each of the cities, and continued to move south.

At this time, the news from the Turkic scouts sent back showed that Yang Guang of the Sui Kingdom had not discovered the fact that they had gone south to Hedong for seven days. The information showed that Yang Guang was carrying 150,000 imperial guards at this time, and had already passed Loufan County and left the Yanmen Pass and headed towards Mayi.

"It's God helping me. Yang Guang's son was rushing towards the 300,000 warriors on my grassland, with only 150,000 troops around him. He was leaving Yanmen Pass, leaving the dangerous road in the western frontier, and arrived at the Sanggan River. It was only hundreds of miles away from us. As long as we rush up and move forward at full speed, we can meet Yang Guang's son in Mayi County and invite him back to the grassland."

After reading the sheepskin letter in his hand, Shibi Khan laughed at the leader in motion.

When the leaders heard that Yang Guang had already arrived at the Sanggan River, they were all very moved at this time. They had a little more grasp of this southward move. This time they went south, secrets were their advantage, while their weakness was that the grassland cavalry was not good at siege and fighting.

Before, Yang Guang was in Taiyuan, so he refused to go south because he was the one who led the profits. Later, because the Liaodong envoy said that he could lead Yang Guang out of Taiyuan, they agreed to continue going south. But no one expected that Yang Guang not only left Taiyuan, but also left Yanmen.

Yanmen has been an important defense line between the Central Plains and the grassland since ancient times. Many dynasties have fought against the Hu people in the grassland here. The Central Plains dynasty has always relied on the natural terrain of Yanmen, blocking the grassland people outside the gate like a gate. Although the Sui Dynasty now has two counties outside Yanmen, according to traditional sayings, it is already outside the border when it leaves Yanmen.

From outside the Yanmen Pass, there is a famous dangerous western pass. After this pass, there is no more famous pass fortresses outside the frontier. If the Central Plains fight against the grassland people, this is the first place to fall into the ignition. Most of the soldiers and horses of Hedong County in the Sui Dynasty were within Yanmen Pass. There were only a small number of soldiers outside the frontier, which were purely used as alarms.

Everyone understood the significance of Yang Guang's exit from Yanmen Pass to them. Yang Guang's exit from Yanmen Pass was equivalent to losing all the guarantees. The only thing he could rely on was the 150,000 imperial guards who accompanied him and the 5,000 road-breaking soldiers from Li Shimin. But for the grassland people, as long as it was not a siege battle, and the ratio of troops to horses was 2 to 1, any tribe leader would have the confidence to win such a battle.

Shibi's face was filled with a moving light, "Transfer the order of Ben Khan, and the 300,000 wolf riders set off immediately. Three days, Ben Khan only gave everyone three days. Within three days, we will definitely go to Mayi County City and capture Yang Guang alive."

Chuluo Khan said in a little embarrassedly, "Khan, since we sent troops on the grassland, we have marched day and night, and we have not had a day to rest. After taking down Dali City, we have been traveling for a day and night. We have just joined forces to capture two big cities, and our subordinates are really tired. The Mayi County City is not close to this place. If we want to arrive within three days, we must travel day and night. At that time, we are afraid that many tribal brothers will not be able to keep up. Even if the men can hold on, they are afraid that the war horses will not be able to bear it."

Shibi shook his head, "You haven't understood the current situation yet. We have entered Hedong for seven days and captured three cities in succession. Yang Guang doesn't know that we are here yet, but such a good thing can't last long. No one knows when Yang Guang will receive the news here. If we are tired for a moment, we will have to rest. When Yang Guang knows the news here and turn back to Taiyuan, then if we want to take Yang Guang and defeat the Sui army, we will have to die. Therefore, we must do it now, and we must do it if we can't do it. Tell your brothers that as long as we capture Yang Guang alive and defeat the Sui army, we will allow all tribes to plunder for seven days."

Seeing that the leaders of various tribes were still hesitating, Shibi Khan continued, "After conquering Liaodong, Ben Khan only took property from one city in Taiyuan, and the wealth, money and grain population in the remaining counties in Liaodong will be given to all the leaders. At that time, all these counties are yours, and you can grab them as much as you want."

On one side, there was a huge Youhuo, but on the other side, there was a possible failure. After whispering for a while, all the leaders of each tribe agreed to Shibi Khan's decision. According to Shibi's order, all tribes killed all the robbed cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, roasted sheep, and cooked cattle. Three hundred thousand people and horses had a full meal. After resting for two hours, they boarded again, gathered into a black wave, rolling towards Mayi County City.

Shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the mountains, forests and grasslands were filled with fragrant small huā.

Especially on both sides of the Sanggan River, red, yellow, blue and purple wilderness are everywhere. Although it is not as beautiful as the spring, it also decorates the earth.

In this wilderness everywhere, a small group of knights were racing wildly along the Sanggan River and galloping towards Yanmeng. The Sanggan River is a tributary of the Yellow River, and it has another name, the Wuding River. As the name suggests, this is a river that often changes its course.

The Wuding River, which is covered with mud and sand, is the life river on the Loess Plateau. At this time, Yang Guang's car was heading north along the Wuding River.

"I swear to sweep away the Huns without any care, and five thousand pieces of brocade to destroy Hu Chen. I feel sorry for the bones by the Wuding River, but I am still a man in the dream of the spring boudoir." Standing on the tall wooden moving palace, Yang Guang stood with his hands behind his back and chanted a poem gently.

After reading it, he still felt that he was still unsatisfied and praised it a few times.

Yang Guang turned his head to Queen Chun beside him and said, "Does the queen know who did this poem?"

Empress Xiao was wearing a long purple silk on her arm. She stood in front of the railings of the palace, standing in front of the wind, her clothes fluttering like a fairy. "I often like to read and read poetry. My poem is very sad but grand. It is a rare good poem. But I have never read it before. Could it be that Your Majesty had just watched the Sanggan River along the way and was inspired?"

Yang Guang shook his head and sighed lightly. After a long time, he said, "This is what the Black Guard gave to me. According to what they said, this was what Chen Pojun did. I could not feel the extraordinaryness of this poem before I came to this river. Now that I am by the river, I suddenly feel that this poem is elegant and magnificent, and it is indeed a rare good poem." He sighed again, Yang Guang looked into the distance and said with some emotion, "Chen Pojun is indeed a master, no wonder Izumo fell in love with him. Maybe I paid more attention to him at the beginning, and even married Izumo to him, maybe there would be no result today."

Empress Xiao stood beside him and felt a little regretful. With an unparalleled talent like Chen Kefu, if the princess was married to him, it might be able to really capture him. If Chen Kefu had not rebelled, then the Turks might have been pacified long ago, and there would not be the current situation.

"Your Majesty, although Chen Pojun returned to Liaodong, he has not yet rebelled. He has only put the banner of clearing the emperor's side. If a talent like Chen Pojun cannot be used by His Majesty, it will become an enemy. This is a pity. Can't we really change all this? Maybe His Majesty can summon him to appease him.

Yang Guang shook his head, "If my army defeated the Liaodong army, maybe I could spare him and even give him a idle official position. But if the imperial army hundreds of thousands of troops could not even set foot in Liaodong, even if he was willing to be recruited, I would not agree." Those who are emperors cannot think the same as ordinary people. Not to mention that Chen Kefu was obviously rebelling, even if he misunderstood him before, this is already like this. The superiors are wrong and can correct it, but they cannot admit their mistakes themselves. This is a sentence that the former emperor Yang Jian once told him in person. If he is wrong, he can know his mistakes, he is already a qualified emperor, and if he is still able to correct his mistakes, he is a good emperor. If he is wrong, he will still admit his mistakes, he will actually be an unqualified emperor.

What's more, he is still in an embarrassing downturn in the confrontation between him and Liaodong, which makes it even more impossible to change the previous decision.

Queen Xiao sighed, "It's just that child Izumo has suffered."

"The most ruthless imperial family!" Yang Guang could only say helplessly.

A burst of rapid footsteps came, and a rushing trot over.

"Your Majesty, General Zuo Tun Guard, Li Shimin, Duke Yun of Liaoyang, met him and said that there was an emergency military oak to report to Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang frowned. Li Shimin set out one day earlier than him, and took five thousand soldiers and horses and kept being more than a hundred miles ahead of the emperor's carriage. According to the plan, they all wanted to enter Mayi County City in the end. Now there are at least two days left before Mayi County City, why did Li Shimin run back again?

"Does he say what kind of emergency military information is?"

"It was said that it was the military information on the Turks on the grassland, and the emergency military information sent by Princess Yicheng sent a messenger. The specific messenger said that he would hand over the letter to His Majesty himself." Neishi quickly said what Li Shimin told him.

Princess Yicheng? When Yang Guang heard this name, he felt that it was a very important thing. Princess Yicheng is Kedun, who is now Shibi Khan. At the moment of attacking the Turks, the princess suddenly sent someone to send a letter, so there must be an emergency military situation.
