Neishi quickly took Li Shimin and the messenger to the huge moving palace. As soon as Li Shimin entered the hall, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Princess Yicheng sent a messenger to come, saying that there is an urgent matter to report to Your Majesty."

Yang Guang looked at the messenger and found that he was not a Turkic man, but a Han man.

"What certificate do you have when you talk about your Princess Yilou's messenger?"

After the messenger saluted, he took out two waist signs from his arms. "Reply to your Majesty, the young one was originally the imperial guard in the capital. Later, the guard princess entered the grassland and stayed there together. He has been serving as the princess' personal guard for many years. These two waist signs are the waist signs that were used by the small one when he was in the imperial guard, and the other was used on the grassland."

Yang Guang took the waist card from the inner pass, looked carefully for a few seconds, and nodded, "This is indeed the waist card of the imperial guards, but these two things alone are not enough to indicate your identity." Now that the war is imminent, Yang Guang dare not be careless. If the other party is just a spy from Shibi Khan, he uses these two waist card as the princess messenger, transmitting any false information and misleading him, that is a big deal and he has to be guarded against.

The messenger took out a small cloth bag from his arms. After opening it layer by layer, it was a small piece of jade.

Seal. "This is the seal of the princess. The princess said that as long as this seal is added to the princess's handwritten letter, His Majesty will believe it."

After the princess married into the grassland, Yang Guang also sent people to contact the princess many times, and this seal was the princess' token. In the past, he sent people to the grassland to find the princess, but now the princess suddenly sent someone to travel thousands of miles to come to her. Yang Guang also felt that there must be something urgent.

"I have believed in your identity. Where did the princess send you a letter?"

The messenger took out another letter from his arms and presented it to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang checked the hot paint seal on the letter, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened the envelope and looked at it.

The letter was not much in just a few lines. In the letter, the princess said that he found that Shibi Khan had gathered soldiers from various tribes and claimed to be attacking the Khitan. However, according to what she discovered, she learned that the Turkic cavalry did not go east, but went south. The princess guessed that Shibi Khan might have gone south.

After reading these short lines of words, Yang Guang was already in a cold sweat. According to the scouts sent by the court to the grassland, the Turks were indeed mobilizing troops and preparing to expedition the Khitan to plunder supplies. However, the information was more than a month ago.

Half a month ago, after Tuli arrived in Taiyuan, he had sent several more spies to reconnaissance, but the news he received was that the Turks were preparing to expedition the Khitan to plunder supplies. But now, the princess suddenly said in her letter that the Turks had gone south, which made him panic.

"Come on, pass my order immediately, and the car driver will stop and rest on the spot. Also, please come to see me quickly from the third rank or above. Yang Guang is already a little uneasy now that he has left Yanmen and came to Mayi. If the Turks really go south, then there will be only 150,000 people around him and there is no city fortress to rely on.

After receiving the emperor's will, all the ministers with purple robe from the third rank or above rushed to the palace.

"How credible is Princess Yicheng's letter based on what you have seen?" Yang Guang said with a last glimmer of hope.

Sima Dekan, the commander of the Black Guard, said, "The horses sent to the grassland have not received any information for ten days. I think it is probably that the horses have been discovered by the Turks and have been cleared."

The old man in his seventies, Zuo Pushe Su Wei, no longer dozed off, and immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, although Princess Yicheng is a Turkic Kedun, she is also Princess Yicheng of my Sui Dynasty. Moreover, the princess has always had contact with the court in the past and has always been in love with the Sui Dynasty.

Now the princess is taking the risk and sends a personal guard to send this letter. The old minister thinks that this letter is very true. Although we don’t know when the Turks will start to move south and how many cavalrymen will come. However, in any case, I think the most important thing at the moment is to immediately transfer the car to Taiyuan, so as not to fall into danger.,

Su Wei is old and has long been the one who buried the loess on his neck. He is unwilling to be surrounded by the Hu people on the grassland when he dies, and finally fall into an opponent. It is related to his wealth and life, and he no longer cares about self-protection and acts in everything based on the emperor's eyes.

Fan Zigai also hurriedly said, "No matter whether it is true or false, you should return to Taiyuan immediately, and you should leave immediately without delay." Although Yang Guang was a little worried, he was unwilling to escape immediately as soon as he heard the Turkic people's name. He had not even figured out the situation. If this information was fake, or if the Turkic people were just a small army, then he would not lose all his face in the future?

After thinking about it, Yang Guang still didn't want to retreat immediately. "Sima Dekan, I ordered that all black-clothed iron guards should be sent out immediately and headed north immediately to find out which Turkic soldiers and horses were headed by whom, and where they had reached. Once the situation was discovered, the flying pigeon immediately sent a message back...

"I obey the order!" Sima Dekan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately took the order to withdraw from the palace and summoned his five thousand black-clothed iron guards to go north to inquire about the movements of the Turks.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible. A body of a thousand gold cannot be placed in the hall. What's more, the emperor, your Majesty is responsible for the people of the world, so how can you be in danger? The old minister thought that while sending a cavalry to inquire about the movements of the Turks, he immediately ordered the carriage to return, no matter what,

You can't stay here anymore."

Many ministers also spoke out, but it would be fine if these people didn't say anything. Once they spoke, Yang Guang's last hesitation was gone. Instead, he strengthened his idea of ​​getting traded. In his opinion, even if the Turks went south, from Dingxiang to here, the nearest journey would be more than ten days. With so much time, as long as the beacon on the border ignites, he would have enough time to return to the pass calmly.

In front of him, there was also the Great Wall at the junction of Dingxiang and Mayi. The Turks could not easily be able to pass the Turks. Even if they passed the Great Wall, he would have retreated back to Yanmen Pass at that time. With Yanmen, the world's largest pass, Yang Guang was not afraid of the Turks. If he ran away when he heard of a Turk, how could he command the world in the future?

After rejecting the proposal of the ministers, Yang Guang issued an edict saying, "I ordered General Li Shimin, the Zuo Tun Guard, to immediately lead the 5,000 troops from the headquarters to continue northward to the Great Wall Pass to prevent the Turks from entering the pass."

Li Shimin had just been a little worried, and it was his suggestion to let the emperor go north. Now he found that the Turks went south and put the emperor in danger was already a great crime.

If the emperor really pursued the matter, not only would the official position be lost, but his life might be lost. Seeing that the emperor did not pursue the matter, he would continue to go north to prevent the Turks and immediately received the order happily.

In his heart, Li Shimin was not worried about the Turks. In his opinion, it was natural danger to the Great Wall, but it was not easy for the Turks to enter the pass. Maybe this was a chance for him, Li Shimin to show his skills and look good in front of the emperor. If not many Turks came and he defeated the Turks by then, it would definitely be a big attack, which would be the first achievement of conquering the Turks.

After sending the black-clothed iron guards and Li Shimin to the north for reconnaissance, Yang Guang's carriage was also dissuaded by all officials, temporarily stationed by the Wuding River, waiting for Sima Dekan's intelligence results. Without a certain situation, it was reported that the Turks were just a small group of sāo disturbing the troops, it was impossible for these ministers to let Yang Guang's carriage continue to go north.

After reading Princess Yicheng's letter, Yang Guang and the ministers believed that the Turks might have really gone south. However, they all thought that with the Mianmian border, and with the isolation buffer zone of Dingxiang, suddenly even if the people headed south, they could get news at any time.

The buzz was blowing wildly, and countless raindrops fell from the sky. In the drizzle, loud trumpets sounded. The trumpets were still rushing, and the trumpets quickly spread throughout the camp.

The tents in the camp were lifted one by one, and Li Shimin's five thousand soldiers were carrying helmets and horizontal swords and spears, and hurriedly ran out to gather with his team and formed an array.

Standing in the queue, the soldiers continued to tidy up their armor, while constantly asking to the left and right sides, "Are the Turks coming? Did the Turks really come so quickly?"

The answer to them was the roars of the lieutenants of the corps after another, "Get together, assemble immediately, those who have not finished their horns are beheaded and shown!" With the roars of these officers, the soldiers did not dare to complain anymore, and they gathered in line to check their weapons and equipment.

On the other side of the road, a team of cavalry was coming quickly. The sharp-eyed soldiers saw at a glance that this was the Xuan Armor Guard that had previously followed General Li Shimin to Jin to meet the emperor. Seeing the black armored knights in the water, General Li Shimin, who was wearing bright white armor and white armor, many officers had already guessed that the general might have received some task from the emperor.

The Xuan Armor Guard galloped like a gust of wind, and it was not until it was a few feet away from the assembly array that it quickly stopped. The horses were barely stopped a few feet in front of the front row. Li Shimin was wearing bright silver and bright kirin armor, a white cloak, and a bright silver horse spear. The whole suit looked very much like Chen Kefu's previous equipment.

Li Shimin rode on the pure white war horse, glanced at the already assembled team, shouting loudly, "Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. Today, the time for our battle has finally arrived. Your Majesty has issued an order to let me lead 5,000 troops under my command and go north to the Great Wall Pass to strictly prevent the entrance of the Turkic people. Now, I will pass the order from this general, and all the troops will set off immediately! The entire army must not be neglected. If anyone violates the order, behead! Let's set off!"!
