Yunnei County is located between the Wuzhou Mountains and the Hezhen Mountains. It is a fallen basin hundreds of miles wide. Historically, it was a very prosperous county. Its former name was Pingcheng County, which was later Datong. It was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. It was completely destroyed by an angry army during the wars in the six towns.

After the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, Pingcheng had a little vitality and gathered thousands of people to live in it. The Sui Dynasty renamed it Yunnei County. However, with the rise of Liu Wuzhou's rebellion and the invasion of the Turks, thousands of people in this county died and fled, and the county was once again deserted.

When night fell, ten thousand Sui troops arrived in Yunnei County. At this time, two scouts came up and bowed to Pei Xingyan to report: "Report to General, there are about a thousand troops in Yangma City!"

Pei Xingyan nodded. This was consistent with their intelligence. Yangma City originally had 5,000 Liu Wuzhou's garrisons, but because the war in the south was tight, Liu Wuzhou transferred most of the troops from Yunnei County to Loufan County, leaving only one thousand defenders.

It is easy to wipe out these thousand defenders. The key is that they cannot escape, especially to inform Fuqibo's Turkic army. Pei Xingyan was a little confused for a moment.

At this moment, a wisp of dust appeared in the distance, as if a cavalry was running from the west. Pei Xingyan whispered: "Stop this person!"

Two teams of cavalry immediately rushed out and surrounded the cavalry. The cavalry suddenly noticed that the army was intercepting in front of him. They were shocked and turned around and fled. However, another Sui cavalry surrounded him from behind. The two troops quickly surrounded him and pointed his crossbow at him. The cavalry was so scared that they raised their hands to surrender and shouted something. The Sui cavalry stepped forward to capture him and took him to Pei Xingyan.

"General, he is Liu Wuzhou's messenger!"

The arrested soldier knelt in front of Pei Xingyan and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

Pei Xingyan opened the letter he carried with him, and there were two letters in total, one of which was a roll of sheepskin, which was densely filled with Turkic texts. This should be a reply letter, while the other military order required the defenders of Yangma City to go south and the Turkic army would take over the defense here.

Pei Xingyan said coldly: "If you want to survive, just explain honestly. What are the two letters?"

"Report to the general, because your army is in a hurry to attack Loufan"

The soldier obviously mistakenly thought the army in front of him for the Tang army. Pei Xingyan interrupted him, "We are not the Tang army, but the Sui army!"

"ah!"

The newsman was shocked. The Sui army was actually in front of him. How could the Sui army come to Bingzhou?

Pei Xingyan asked, "Are you saying that the Tang army is attacking Loufan Pass?"

"That's right! Forty or 50,000 Tang troops have been besieging Loufan Pass for a month. Our king could hardly resist it, so he sent villains to send letters to Fuqibo's Turkic army for help."

"Then what?"

Pei Xingyan asked, "Continue talking!"

"Then the Turkic army will soon come to take over Yangma City, and all the defenders of Yangma City go south to Fanguan."

Pei Xingyan already understood the meaning of reporting the troops. He handed the Turkic sheepskin letter to a sergeant next to him. The sergeant looked at it and said, "General, this is said that the Turkic army will divide its troops into two groups, taking over Yangma City, and going to Loufan Pass to assist in the war.

"How many Turkic troops are there in the two routes?"

"The letter did not say it."

"Then you should know!" Pei Xingyan lowered his head and asked the messenger.

The messenger was so scared that he shivered, "The villain doesn't know, but"

"But what? Say!"

"But the Turks once suggested that the king of my family said that only one thousand troops were stationed in Yangma City, and that too many troops would be a waste. My king followed their advice and withdrew four thousand troops, leaving only one thousand troops to guard Yangma City."

Pei Xingyan understood what he meant, thought for a while and asked again: "Have the Turkic army heading south to support Loufan Pass set out?"

"They had not set off when the villain left. The captain of the ten thousand men said that they would send troops within three days at the earliest, and now they should send troops."

"How is the equipment of the Turkic army?" asked the deputy general Lai Tao next to him.

"The Turkic army's equipment is almost the same, with leather armor, spears and war horses, but this Turkic army has strong combat effectiveness and is said to be their Khan's guard."

Pei Xingyan snorted heavily and angrily said, "Looking at your appearance, you are a Han man, who actually helped aliens massacre their brothers and sisters. How do you explain to your ancestors?"

The messenger cried and said, "The villain is just a soldier, and he has no choice but to help the Turks, and he is bullied by them."

"Then you make meritorious service and atone for your sins and take us to intercept the Turks."

"The villain is willing to serve the general!"

Pei Xingyan asked him to take him down. At this time, Deputy General Lai Tao asked: "Are you going to let Yangma City go temporarily?"

Pei Xingyan nodded, "I'm afraid that the military advisors and the others will not know the enemy situation and will be attacked by the Turkic army from behind. Since our main purpose of going north is to annihilate this Turkic army, we will simply fight head-on and test our mixed combat formation. As for Yangma City, they can't escape!"

Lai Tao was overjoyed, "Then please give the general order!"

Pei Xingyan immediately ordered: "Send the army to march west quickly!"

Ten thousand Sui troops no longer continued to attack Yunnei County to the north, but turned west, leaving only dozens of scouts to monitor Yunnei County.

Going south from Fuqibo usually takes a straight line business road to the west of Wuzhou Mountain, which is the Mayi Road where Zhang Xuan first walked north. However, this famous business road in the Sui Dynasty has not been passed by caravans for many years. Some small Turkic tribes along the way also moved north due to war. The weeds in many places grew taller than people.

After running for more than 100 miles, the Sui army arrived at Zihe at noon the next day. This area was an endless plump grassland, covered with alfalfa, and five thousand war horses had the best feed, but the Sui soldiers did not have much food, and each person had only two days of dry food.

This made Pei Xingyan a little worried. Pei Xingyan sat on a large rock to study the terrain. This area was full of grasslands and forests. The purple river meandered around a large forest like a jade belt. Moreover, the purple river was gradually entering the dry season. The river water was very shallow, and the cavalry could directly pass by the river.

Groups of soldiers were sitting on the grass drinking water to rest. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble slightly, and all the Sui soldiers jumped up immediately. They were experienced and knew what was happening. The Sui army's well-trained training fully appeared at this moment. The infantry quickly lined up and the cavalry boarded up. Pei Xingyan shouted sternly: "The hard crossbow blocked the river to line up!"

His whip pointed to the forest on the left again, "The cavalry entered the forest to hide!"

Five thousand cavalry turned their horses and ran towards the forest. This was the usual strategy of the Sui army. At present, the enemy tried to hide their strength and be arrogant with a weak army.

Two thousand Sui soldiers who had already assembled rushed to the Zihe River first, arranged in a long row, and lined up crossbows to gain time for the Sui army to assemble behind.

At this time, a black line appeared several miles away, and the Turkic cavalry appeared.

There were 5,000 Turkic cavalry in total, but there were 1,000 cavalry divided into 1,000 cavalry to guard Yangma City in Yunnei County. There were only 4,000 Turkic cavalry left. The head general was Kang Shuoli of the Turkic Pillar Kingdom. He was named the general manager of Dingxiang by Luo Khan, responsible for assisting Liu Wuzhou in dealing with the Tang Dynasty and consuming his national strength.

Kang Shuoli also knew that Liu Wuzhou was defeated by Prince Li Jiancheng, and suffered heavy losses and could not hold on. So after receiving Liu Wuzhou's letter of help, he immediately led his army south to assist in the war, but unexpectedly he was hit by another mysterious army.

The Turkic cavalry also discovered the Sui army infantry in front, and they all stopped their war horses. Kang Shuoli was shocked. How could the Tang army be here? Did the Tang army have conquered Loufan Pass and wiped out Liu Wuzhou?

"The Zhu Kingdom, it seems that it is not the Tang army!"

A thousand-man commander pointed at the other party's military flag and shouted: "The flag is wrong!"

Kang Shuoli also saw it. It turned out to be the Qinglong Red Banner. This was the military flag of the Northern Sui Dynasty. He was even more surprised. Why did the Northern Sui army come?

But after a second thought, he realized that Liu Wuzhou was defeated repeatedly. Seeing that the destruction was about to be destroyed, the Sui army went down the mountain to pick fruits. Kang Shuoli couldn't help but curse shamelessly.

No matter how much he scolded, he had to resolve the situation in front of him. He saw that some of the other army were rushing to complete the team. Obviously, this was an encounter, and the opponent's troops were similar to his own, but the opponent was an infantryman and should be weaker than himself in terms of strength.

Kang Shuoli raised his hand and said, "Push slowly!"

The Turkic cavalry did not attack immediately, but slowly advanced forward. At this time, the Sui army also began to line up and retreat quickly, which seemed very rapid, but the team was not scattered. They seemed to want to get rid of the Turkic cavalry, and Kang Shuoli couldn't help but sneer, "It's not that easy to run."
