Chapter 477: The Diligent King of the World (3)

Yesterday and today, because Qidian Author system was upgraded, the chapters were not released, and the situation was not released, so everyone was waiting for a long time. Lao Gao was also anxious. Now he has finally recovered. Hurry up and explain the situation at the same time, and apologize to everyone. In addition, there are two 475 chapters in the first place. In fact, the second content is Chapter 476. I will ask the editor to change the chapter name as soon as possible. Please forgive me and apologize to everyone again!

Zhang Xuan's army only rested for half a day in Weijun. After replenishing dry food, he continued to set off and entered the vast Taihang Mountains from the Fukou Canyon.

Fukou Xing is a relatively long passage among the eight Taihang Xing. Its strategic value is slightly inferior to Jingxing. It is not because the road is rugged and travels south. However, after crossing Taihang Mountains, Jingxing directly reaches the key area of ​​Taiyuan County. Fukou Xing arrives at the mountainous area in the northern part of Shangdang County. It has to cross mountains and ridges for hundreds of miles to reach Taiyuan City.

In March, flowers bloomed in Fukou Xing, and there were all kinds of flowers everywhere, with birds singing and fragrance of flowers. The scenery was extremely beautiful, but the five thousand Sui army just marched silently, and no one had the heart to enjoy the scenery along the way.

"How could the county magistrate be transferred to Wei County?" It was not until this time that Zhang Xuan finally found the opportunity to ask why Yang Shanhui was transferred.

Yang Shanhui sighed, "The general was transferred to Jianghuai, and the court took over Qingzhou. Except for several important positions in Beihai County, all the prefect county magistrates were transferred, and they were replaced by officials directly appointed by the court. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the four words "full cleaning".

Zhang Xuan's face looked very ugly. Before, Wei Yunqi wrote a letter to him and briefly mentioned something about this. He guessed that the court had begun to purge the officials he promoted, but the feeling was not direct. But today he met Yang Shanhui and he felt deeply the pain of the court in the Qingzhou officialdom. Needless to say, Qingzhou had already been completely recognizable at this time, otherwise Wei Yunqi's tone would not be so helpless.

"How is the county magistrate in Wei County?" Zhang Xuan asked again after a moment of silence.?

Yang Shanhui smiled bitterly, "Prince Fang is a disciple of the Cui family of Qinghe, and he has a marriage with the Bai family of Xiangguo County. How could they let me, an outsider, take charge of the government affairs of Wei County? Presby Fang has three aides, one in charge of money, one in charge of property, and the other in charge of people. They are the real county magistrate of Wei County. I am just a vacant position, the official room is empty and there is no literature. I have been serving as the county magistrate for three months, and I don't even know how many people there are in Wei County."

Zhang Xuan was very annoyed. He probably had the situation of other officials transferred to Jianghuai. When he was transferred to Jianghuai, the court promised to maintain the stability of Qingzhou, but as soon as he left, they immediately took action. It was so deceptive.

"General, I don't want Wei County anymore."

Yang Shanhui sighed and said, "I would rather resign than be a puppet county magistrate than be a puppet county magistrate. It's too frustrating and I can't stand this kind of official exclusion."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Since that's the case, don't do this county magistrate. From today on, you will be the Sima of the army. I will explain the situation to the Ministry of War."

Yang Shanhui was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your reservation. I will definitely do my best to do my best!"...

Four days later, Zhang Xuan's army also arrived at Loufan Pass. At this time, all counties in the world responded to the emperor's order to serve the king, and countless armies of all sizes gathered from all directions of Taiyuan. In less than half a month, the troops arrived in Taiyuan had exceeded 200,000, and the troops of all counties in the world were still rushing towards Taiyuan.

The three armies of Loufan Pass, Yun Dingxing, Li Yuan and Xue Shixiong were confronting 100,000 Turkic cavalry. Because Xue Shixiong was seriously injured, the army was actually commanded by Yun Dingxing.

On the pass city wall, Yun Dingxing looked at the mountains in the distance with complex eyes. Just now, Yuwen Zhiji brought the order of his father Yuwen Shu. Yuwen Shu asked him to rush to Yanmen County to rescue the carriage immediately. Yun Dingxing showed a sarcastic sneer on his face, asking him to go to Yanmen County to rescue the carriage. How noble, why didn't he directly say that he would die?

Yun Dingxing knew better than anyone else that the 100,000 Turkic cavalry they confronted was just the first wave, but the Turkic Khan deliberately showed weakness. Once his army headed north, a second 100,000 Turkic cavalry would immediately attack from the eastern line. At that time, he would face the siege of the 200,000 Turkic army and would likely encounter the fate of the destruction of the entire army. Yun Dingxing could not bear such a heavy responsibility.

"Why haven't General Yun sent troops yet?"

At some point, Yuwen Zhiji appeared behind Yun Dingxing, with a reproach in his tone. He told Yun Dingxing his father's order last night, but it was noon the next day, but Yun Dingxing still showed no sign of sending troops, which made Yuwen Zhiji very dissatisfied.

"It's not the time to send troops now." Yun Dingxing said lightly.

"But my father thinks now is the time to send troops!" Yuwen Zhiji stared at Yun Dingxing fiercely and said.

Yun Dingxing finally couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Yuwen Zhiji, "Whether to attack on the battlefield is not something that people lying on the bed at home can decide!"

After saying that, he passed by Yu Wen Zhiji and walked quickly down the city. Yu Wen Zhiji did not move, his eyes ejaculated, and his fists slowly clenched. This damn bastard dared not to obey his father's orders.

Yun Dingxing walked down the city wall angrily. He was extremely dissatisfied with Yuwen Shu. A dying person actually wanted to hold himself in his palm. Who did he treat himself as someone, and did he think he was really his marionette?

At this time, a soldier rushed over quickly and knelt down on one knee to report, "Report to the General, General Zhang, the Jianghuai recruitment envoy, has led his army to the outside of the city!"

Yun Dingxing nodded, feeling quite moved. There were already many troops coming from all over the country to serve the king, but they were either in Taiyuan County or Loufan County. However, the first army to arrive at Loufanguan was Zhang Xuan from Jianghuai, who was the real general.

He hurriedly went out of the city. At this time, Yu Wen Zhiji, who was walking by the city wall, heard that Zhang Xuan had arrived. He was secretly surprised. If Zhang Xuan showed him here, he would probably not have the best fruits for him. Although he hated Zhang Xuan deeply, he was extremely afraid of Zhang Xuan. Yu Wen Zhiji hurriedly walked along the city wall toward the camp within the pass.

Outside the south gate of the pass, Zhang Xuan led a team of 5,000 troops to wait. After a while, the city gate opened, Yun Dingxing quickly came out, and he whispered loudly from afar: "General Zhang came from thousands of miles away, which is admirable!"

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and bowed, "See the General with a humble position!"

Yun Dingxing patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "I saw a loyal minister when I was in danger. I never thought that the first army to come to support was General Zhang, who was far away in Jianghuai. Please follow me into the city!"

Zhang Xuan followed Yun Dingxing toward the pass, and he asked with a smile: "My pioneer General Yuan Qing should have arrived!"

"He has arrived and is currently serving as a peripheral scout in Mayi County. He should have come in the past two days."

Zhang Xuan nodded. At this time, Li Yuan also quickly walked to the city gate to welcome Zhang Xuan, "My nephew, long time no see."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "When I passed by Taiyuan, I heard that Mr. Li had led his army north and could fight side by side with Mr. Li, which is Zhang Xuan's honor!"

"I should say this. It is a blessing for Li Yuan to be able to fight with General Zhang, who is famous all over the world."

Everyone laughed and walked into the pass together. Yun Dingxing ordered people to arrange for Zhang Xuan's army to enter the camp to rest. He and Li Yuan personally accompanied Zhang Xuan to the top of the city.

"General Zhang, the reason why we stationed troops in Loufan Pass did not go north is because the Turkic army set a trap for us in the north. If we go north rashly, we will face siege of 200,000 troops, and we only have 80,000 people, which is difficult to match the opponent!"

Li Yuan next to him also said: "General Yun said a lot. This is a typical siege of aggression. As far as we know, the Turkic army has stopped siegeing the city and besieged the city. Once we go north, we will not only fail to rescue the siege, but will be surrounded and annihilated by the Turkic cavalry."

Zhang Xuan shook his head in his heart. Both of them could not defeat the Turks. When Yang Su used 50,000 infantry and cavalry to defeat 200,000 Turkic cavalry, where was the mighty style of the Sui army?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan asked again: "What is the attitude of that emperor?"

"The emperor has no news yet."

In fact, this is also what Yun Dingxing is most worried about. Can the emperor understand his efforts to restrain the Turkic cavalry? Will he think that he is afraid and not fighting?

Yun Dingxing sighed and said, "Since the Emperor issued the order to serve the king, there has been no news about the law and contact the city."

Zhang Xuan thought about it and found that it was not yet time to draw a conclusion, so he had to wait until Pei Xingyan came before talking.

At night, Zhang Xuan checked the topographic maps of Mayi County and Yanmen County in the big tent. This was the topographic map that Yang Shanhui got when he passed by Taiyuan. It was very clear and comprehensive. At this time, a soldier reported outside the tent: "Report to the commander, General Pei is here."

Zhang Xuan was excited and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!" (To be continued.)
