.

The door was surrounded and the world was shaken.

Yang Guang is extremely complicated, with thousands of people interpreting it. For Empress Xiao, it was a lifelong wait. Since she married Yang Guang at the age of twelve, she has always adhered to the moral character of women. Now more than 30 years have passed. Although her appearance is still there, her mood is vicissitudes. How many thirty years can a woman have? Yang Guang has a bad temper and more women, but she has always said that she has been in charge of her and has given her enough face. Although she knows that Yang Guang has countless women around her, she only has one in her heart, but that woman is not her, but she is already content. As an emperor, she has only one who can treat the queen like this.

To the people, Yang Guang was not a good emperor, and he could only be described as a tyrant. When he heard that he was trapped in Yanmen, he wanted to die sooner, but when he heard that Yang Guang issued an edict to stop conquering Liaodong, the people were moved again. Although Yang Guang caused the people to live in trouble, who could guarantee that he would not have a worse emperor after he died? As long as he did not conquer Liaodong, the Sui Dynasty was still very good, and Yang Guang could also forgive him.

Yang Guang's edict to not conquer Liaodong was exhilarated, and the generals were excited, and the people were also summoned to the difficulties, but for Li Shimin, Yang Guang was already a burden for him.

He originally thought that being valued by the emperor was a good thing and a thing worth showing off, but after Li Xuanba died, he realized that being valued by the emperor was a painful thing.

When he walked out of the house, he was a little confused. He didn't know what he should do now.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly chased after him from behind, grabbed Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, where are you going?"

Li Shimin sincerely respects this elder brother, "Brother, I want to apply for the army."

"Okay, why do you want to join the army?" Li Jiancheng frowned.

"No, why." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly. He used his sword to play sticks all day long and yearned for Ren Xia's fencing, but since Li Xuanba's death, he has changed a lot. He finally understood one thing that his martial arts skills will never be as good as his brother Li Xuanba, but Li Xuanba's profound martial arts will inevitably die. He relies on martial arts throughout his life, so he should not take revenge.

"I know why." A voice said coldly.

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, turned around and saw Li Yuanji having a slap in his face.

Looking at Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin finally suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Ji, I don't want to argue with you."

Li Yuanji sneered, "Why don't you want to argue with me? You have no ghost in your heart, why are you afraid of arguing?"

Li Shimin's tolerant anger suddenly burst out. He stepped forward and said, "Li Yuanji, I don't want to argue with you, just because you are my fourth brother. What's the matter in my heart? Tell me clearly!"

"Yuan Ji." Li Jiancheng said sternly: "Don't make trouble for nothing anymore. Do you really want to force Shimin away? Let's go home with me."

He reached out to pull Li Shimin. Li Shimin took a step back and shook his head and said, "I'm very annoyed. I don't want to go back. Brother, can you please let me calm down?"

"Yes, you are very annoying. When my father is by your side, he always advises you to learn military law and strategies. You always don't listen. You don't learn how to dance guns and sticks all day long. You are trapped in Yanmen City, and you suddenly change your temper and just want to join the army to save me?"

Li Shimin's face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and wanted to hit him. Li Yuanji straightened his neck, "Brother, do you want to hit me?" Li Jiancheng sighed and put down his hand helplessly, "Shimin. Yuanji, I was about to tell you something, now the emperor Shangyanmen is surrounded and the Central Plains is shocked. My father is the ambassador of Shanxi and Hedong to comfort the king and rescue the emperor. However, the Turkic soldiers are strong. The troops in Hedong, Shanxi are not enough to resist. Now my father has asked for troops from the East. He asked us to go to Hedong to recruit first. If Shimin wants to apply for recruitment, he can actually go to Hedong first."

Li Shimin frowned and thought to himself that we went to Hedong first and then to Yanmen County. It was obviously a long way to go. What was the intention of Dad's instructions?

"Actually, what is my father doing to save the king? It's not better to let him die. He has been bullying his father all his life. I have long disliked him, but some people always feel complacent about being favored by him." Li Yuanji said suddenly.

Li Jiancheng's face changed color. Seeing that there were no pedestrians around him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yuan Ji, don't you know what you want to do? What is your words just now enough to destroy our Li family?"

"How is it possible with Li Shimin here?" Li Yuanji said flatteringly.

Li Jiancheng frowned, but Li Yuanji has always been favored by his father because of his youth. Many times, his elder brother is powerless even if he teaches a lesson.

"Li Shimin, are you going to Hedong to apply for recruitment?" Li Yuanji asked provocatively.

Li Shimin turned around and left. Li Yuanji wanted to say something, but Li Jiancheng grabbed him and frowned and said, "Yuanji, what's wrong with Shimin? You have to quarrel every day."

"I just can't stand my father's anger, but he still accepts the reward from the dog emperor with ease." Li Yuanji looked around, "Brother, my father has been ridiculed by the dog emperor all his life. This time he finally got the opportunity, so what else can I recruit?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin who had left, shook his head helplessly, "Yuan Ji, why are you so ignorant? Although the Turkic soldiers are strong this time, Dad said that the Turkic soldiers are not good at siegeing the city, and there is no profit to avoid the morale of the army. They are anxious and may not be able to break through the Yanmen City. When the siege of Yanmen City is lifted, Dad is afraid that the emperor will not be able to get angry, and those who are not recruited will most likely be blamed. Dad is the comforting ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, and he must be the first to bear the brunt. In this case, how can Dad not do superficial articles? Fortunately, the court has always been afraid of him holding military power. This time it is a blessing in disguise. It would be better if he didn't need to lead troops to fight."

Li Yuanji blinked and said, "You mean dad doesn't want to..."

Li Jiancheng reached out and patted Li Yuanji on the shoulder and sighed: "Yuanji, it is not easy to be an official in the court, and it is also difficult for Dad to do it. Don't make things difficult for Shimin all day long, okay?"

Li Yuanji snorted. Li Jiancheng watched Li Yuanji grow up, but he didn't understand his thoughts. The Li family has never been successful, and they all grew up under the shadow of Yang Guang. Li Yuanji is still young and feels unwilling to see Li Shimin's glory. When the third brother died, his resentment naturally came from Li Shimin. Fortunately, he had brothers in the war and father-son soldiers. He knew that Li Shimin knew the general idea. However, he was not afraid of anything else.

"Then Dad asked us to go to Hedong to recruit soldiers?" Li Yuanji asked suddenly.

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad just didn't want us to go to war, so he arranged such things for us. I didn't expect that you would be angry with you. I guess Shimin would probably go directly to Jiangjun to find Yun Dingxing, the general of Tunwei who recruited soldiers there. In this way, Shimin would be in danger. Even if Dad didn't say it, how could I feel at ease?"

"Didn't he brag about his invincibility? He can't die." Li Yuanji said flatly.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Wait for me, I'll go find him. Everyone is a brother. Why bother to turn against each other and become enemies."

Li Yuanji snorted. When Li Jiancheng turned around, he saw that he was alone and couldn't help but say angrily: "Why, does he still have to put on airs?"

Li Jiancheng

: "I don't know where he went!"

**

When Li Shimin came to Jiangjun, he saw refugees fleeing famine everywhere.

Although it is still far from Yanmen County, Yanmen County is trapped. People from the Loufan, Taiyuan, Lishi, Xihe and other counties have started to flee the famine early. The people are in panic.

Jiang County is near Longmen, south of Bishi Valley. There is Bishi Valley that is almost guarded, but it has become a place for people to take refuge.

There were many shelter places, but there were very few enlistment. The people were hesitating and calculating whether Yang Guang should be rescued? Is the military pay worthy of his life? When Li Shimin found Yun Dingxing, he almost didn't know the general of Zuotun Guard. Yun Dingxing looked more than ten years old again.

Yun Dingxing's life can also be said to be ups and downs. His daughter was Zhaoxun of the Crown Prince. His father-in-law regarded his daughter as the most important thing. He showed off for a while. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince Yang Yong was deposed by Empress Dugu because he loved his daughter. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he certainly would not have any good colors to his elder brother's father-in-law, and almost deposed Yun Dingxing for the people. Fortunately, Yun Dingxing was more active and bribed Yuwen Shu with money and bought himself a Shaofu Prime Minister. Later, he was promoted to the General of Zuotun Guard, which was also considered a dead tree to be in spring.

In the Twelve Guards, strictly counting, the generals of the Zuo Tunwei Mansion are the lightest, mainly in charge of the twelve military accounts and subject matters. Yun Dingxing never expects to be like Yu Wen Shu, but he only thinks that the Zuo Tunwei is his peak and he does things with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, he wants to be at ease, but the Turks made such a big move. If Li Yuan recruiting men was still a side job, his duty was to recruit soldiers and go to Yanmen County to rescue the siege. However, in a few days passed in a flash, Yun Dingxing was about to cry without tears.

His work in a few days was even harder than in a few years, but he knew that he could not delay it. He was preparing to go to Yanmen County for any reason, but he did not expect that Li Shimin would come uninvited.

The moment he saw Li Shimin, Yun Dingxing was overjoyed, "Shimin, is it yours who will send you here?"

When Li Shimin saw the rare recruits outside the camp, he already understood a little and shook his head and said, "No."

"Then what are you doing?" Yun Dingxing's enthusiasm decreased a lot.

"Appointment to join the army." Li Shimin said it simply and clearly.

It was just an idea at the beginning of the army, but when he really put it into action, he couldn't help feeling a little excited and impatient.

He has been dancing guns and sticks for a long time, and he is also skilled in bows, arrows, saddles and horses, but this is the first time he has thought of joining the army to fight on the battlefield.

Yun Dingxing frowned and said, "Lingzun is now in Hedong and is also responsible for recruiting people from all over the world to go to the national crisis. Why doesn't Shimin go there?"

"Isn't this closer?" Li Shimin said solemnly: "Knowing that the emperor was in danger, Shimin wished he could fly to Yanmen County, but he only regretted that he was alone and so he came to join General Yun."

Yun Dingxing was a little embarrassed, thinking that you boy don’t know the world is high, and I’m a little scared when leading the army in war. What can you do? He knew that Li Yuan was going to become popular now, and he also knew that if Li Shimin joined the military formation, he would always have to take care of him. The contributions were Li Shimin, but if Li Yuan’s son died in the military formation, it would be thankless.

Just as he was thinking about a way to shirk his power, Li Shimin had already said: "General Yun, Shimin came to join the army. In order to save the emperor, he would have put life and death aside. You don't have to consider your father. If the general is afraid of trouble..."

"General Yun, the soldiers and generals are ready, I don't know when to set off?" The side general hurried in and reported.

Yun Dingxing was too upset and didn't care about Li Shimin anymore. Li Shimin no longer considered his life or death, but what he had to consider most now was his own safety.

"Reinforcement is like putting out a fire, set off immediately."

**

Yun Dingxing found a military account. After checking the Xiaguan account, the number of soldiers recruited in the account was more than 10,000, and the thousands of soldiers on hand was barely enough for 20,000. Compared with the 400,000 Turkic soldiers, it was really thin, but it was already a waste of effort.

Most of the soldiers recruited from the land were farming, and they didn't want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but each person who came to the recruitment had five hangs of money to receive. This was a considerable amount of money, which made many people feel moved and sacrificed their lives.

Maybe they just think that their life is only five dollars.

Seeing the soldiers being dressed in disheveled clothes and pale and thin, Yun Dingxing shook his head secretly, saying that the military armor and supplies were not worried about. The Sui Dynasty had a strong foundation, and tens of thousands of people were enough. However, such troops went out to fight, except for showing their merits to Yang Guang, which was really useless.

Yun Dingxing felt distressed, but he had already ordered his orders to move forward. Li Shimin set out with the army and followed Yun Dingxing.

The excitement at the beginning was replaced by the boredom of the marching. When Li Shimin arrived at the Jushi Valley, he was already a little regretful. He regretted not explaining his whereabouts to his elder brother, and he was a little willful.

But at this time it was like an arrow leaving the string, and there was no possibility of going back.

After the army passed the Jushi Valley, more and more people fled to famine. There were many different opinions about the situation of Yanmen County. Some said that there were tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, and some said that there were more than one million. Not only did Yanmen County have been captured, but even Mayi and Loufan counties were all suspiciously fell into the hands of the Turkic soldiers. They said that Turkic soldiers raped, killed, and plundered them. They did everything. Now Taiyuan County is in danger, and it is inevitable that they will run slower and die.

Yun Dingxing's army was originally a piece of cake. Without waiting for the battle, a group of rumors were defeated by rumors. The people who came for money had already unloaded their armor and ran away secretly. Yun Dingxing's orders were not fulfilled. When he arrived in Taiyuan, he found that half of the recruited soldiers had run away and could not help but be furious.

Taiyuan was not captured, but was still safe and sound. It seemed that countless people fled early, and the places where they stayed were old, weak, sick and disabled waiting to die.

Yun Dingxing was angry and afraid. After killing several deserters angrily, he stopped the decline of the deserters. When he passed by the counties, he issued another military order and dispatched the few troops from each county. When he set out from Taiyuan, the 20,000 soldiers set out were still 20,000. Yun Dingxing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The military situation in front is no longer clear. Anyway, the people from the south say that the Turkic soldiers have come and are everywhere!

The three of them became tigers, and the mouths of others made gold. Yun Dingxing only felt that there was a monster in front of him, waiting for him to die. Looking at all his subordinates, he had the same expression. Except for the heartless boy Li Shimin, he was all anxious.

Yun Dingxing knew that he might be dead, and he would not have to turn around in his life, so he could only continue to march with his teeth, but he had already begun to be careful and ready to retreat at any time. From Taiyuan to Loufan, he did not see the shadow of the Turkic soldiers. Yun Dingxing was very surprised and one day he would arrive!

The mouth is the gateway from Yanmen to Taiyuan. If the Turkic soldiers head south from the mouth, most of the areas will be flat, and they will not encounter the second natural barrier between the Turks and the Xijing of the Great Sui Dynasty. The mouth is right next to the Wutai Mountains and the Ningwu Mountains on the left, surrounded by mountains and valleys, and the terrain is rugged and dangerous.

When Yundingxing arrived south of the valley, he finally saw hundreds of Turkic cavalry plundering. The number of people was much smaller than expected. Yundingxing was confident and ordered his soldiers to siege him.

The military strategy is like this, "Ten surrounds it", Yun Dingxing besieged the enemy with more than 20 times the force, and finally

Hundreds of Turkic soldiers caught a few, and after torture, they finally understood that although they were mentally prepared, when Shibi Khan personally led a 400,000 army, Yun Dingxing still felt his legs trembling. He finally realized that the entire Yanmen County except for the county and Yanmen City, all fell into Shibi Khan's hands. Although the county was not lost, the King of Qi Yang Ming could not hide, which made the Turkic soldiers basically ignore it. The Turkic soldiers are currently attacking Yanmen City day and night, and both sides are suffering heavy casualties. These Turkic cavalrymen came out to plunder and were all siegemen, and they could not bear the hard work. This time they drove away and robbed them. Unexpectedly, they encountered Yun Dingxing first.

After Yun Dingxing interrogated the Turkic soldiers, his hair turned a few more white in half an hour. He first asked the soldiers to set up camp and lead a few close friends to discuss in the camp. The generals and deputy generals were helpless. Now they were unable to advance or retreat. It was okay to fight hundreds of Turkic soldiers. If they really had a head-on fight with 400,000 Turkic soldiers, there would probably not be many of these 20,000 regular and miscellaneous teams that were added to the wrong brands.

But if he retreats, there is absolutely no reason. If the emperor knows, he might be the first person to kill after the rescue.

"But we always have to do something, right?" Yun Dingxing looked at his men and frowned: "The current plan is to sit and wait for help. We cannot do unnecessary death. I believe the emperor is wise and will know our hard work. We accumulate a lot. When we come to reinforce again, we can defeat the Turkic soldiers with thunder and break the siege of Yanmen."

The hands looked at each other and said it was OK, but Yun Dingxing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought that these incompetent people didn't know how to share their worries, so he would only applaud.

As soon as he lifted the curtain tent, Li Shimin walked in slowly. Several deputy generals wanted to scold him, but Yun Dingxing waved his hand and stopped and said, "Shimin. We are discussing the rescue. I wonder what you have?"

Li Shimin looked around at everyone and said confidently: "Shimin is not talented, but he knows a little about the current situation. Turkic soldiers besieged Yanmen City for 400,000. Although we have 20,000 soldiers here, there are only a few thousand elite soldiers, and only more than 10,000 trained soldiers. If you attack rashly, you will probably hit the stone with eggs and moths to the fire."

Yun Dingxing thought to himself, what you are talking nonsense, don’t I know? But if you have to listen to the following text, you will still smile, “What if you follow Shimin’s wishes?”

Li Shimin reached out and pointed out outside the tent, "General Yun, surrounded by mountains and the terrain is continuous, and the Turkic soldiers are good at horse fighting and charging. But in this terrain, they cannot exert their power. I suggest that General Yun leads the crowd to enter the entrance and disperse their troops..."
