The three-pillar burning wolf smoke spread to Youzhou City. This kind of beacon smoke was set to defend against the Turkic offensive and had never burned for decades. Today is the first time that an alarm was issued to Youzhou City, and Huairong County also asked Youzhou for help.

At the top of Youzhou City, Yang Yuanqing stared at the three pillars of wolf smoke in the north. The millions of Sui troops were in Liaodong. The Turks could not attack Youzhou at this time. This could only be the movement of Lu Mingyue in Yanshan.

This is an obvious plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but Yang Yuanqing also had to admire Lu Mingyue's strategy. If he didn't know that Lu Mingyue had ever gone to Wang Bawu's whiskers, he would probably be fooled.

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time and then ordered his subordinates, "Come Yang Jiachen to see me!"

After a moment, Yang Jiachen rushed up the city wall and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See the general manager!"

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "General Yang, you can lead 3,000 people from the headquarters to pretend to be ten thousand people, take my banner and go to rescue Huairong County. Don't be too anxious, be honest, and let the other party know that I personally led the army to rescue."

Yang Jiachen understood the intention of the general manager, and he immediately responded: "Abide by the order of humble duties!"

Yang Jiachen went down to the city. Half an hour later, a cavalry team composed of three thousand Sui troops rushed northwards, with flags waving and covering the sky, like more than 10,000 people. The head of the Youzhou General Manager's Flag was flying in the wind.

To the north of Youzhou City is the vast Yanshan Mountains, with majestic and high mountains. A Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles is built on the ridge, effectively defending against the invasion of the northern Hu people. The Sanggan River is like a giant dragon passing through the mountains, from north to south. The Sanggan River Valley is also a shortcut to enter the hinterland of Youzhou. The two sides of the shore are dense forests and extremely hidden. That night, on the east bank of Sanggan River, fifty miles north of Youzhou City, an army marched silently and quickly...

This army was the 7,000 main force led by Lu Mingyue himself, and the target was aimed at a warehouse on the east side of Youzhou City. At noon, they had passed by the Youzhou cavalry who went north to rescue Huairong County. The Sui army was on the west bank and they were on the east bank. The specific number of the Sui army was unknown, but in terms of scale and flags, the Sui army was no less than 10,000, and Yang Yuanqing personally led the army to aid the north.

At this time, Lu Mingyue was very nervous. He knew that he was taking a risk. The snatching the Sui army's warehouse was undoubtedly a tiger's mouth to seize food, but the tens of thousands of sets of armor and weapons stored in the warehouse strongly attracted him. Once he obtained these equipment, his army would become the strongest among all rebel armies, and would attract countless small groups of rebel troops to join him. He would become the leader of the rebel army in the world. This is Yan Mingyue's dream to compete for the Sui world.

Lu Mingyue has a clear strategic plan. He has decided to give up the Yanshan nest. After seizing the equipment, he will immediately go south to Douzigang to look for development opportunities there. He is very clear that Yang Yuanqing will not tolerate their existence in Zhuo County and will sooner or later wipe them out. Their current strength is far from comparable to Yang Yuanqing's army.

The alliance with Wang Baxu was just one of his series of plans to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Last winter, Yang Yuanqing sent troops to Shanggu County. Obviously, he attached more importance to Wang Baxu. As long as Wang Baxu's army went down the mountain, it would inevitably attract the main force of the Youzhou army. The role of his brother Lu Mingxing was to tell the Sui army that he was still in Yanshan and did not leave his nest.

He and Wang Baxu made an appointment at the twenty-year-old time, but he went down the mountain two days in advance.

At the third update, his army left the Sanggan River and walked eastward, reaching a mountain forest thirty miles north of Youzhou. Lu Mingyue looked at the map with the moonlight. He had already reached the lurking ground. Lu Mingyue immediately ordered: "The army enters the dense forest to rest!"

The soldiers were already exhausted and went into the dense forest to rest. The giant alien birds in the dense forest were frightened.

On a big tree two miles away, a Sui army scout found a large area of ​​birds that were frightened. He immediately lowered his head and said to the following: "There is a situation in the old mountain forest two miles away, and it seems that a large group of people are entering."

There were nine Sui army scouts under the tree, one of the twenty-four scouts sent by Yang Yuanqing. Their mission was to find the enemy troops within a radius of fifty miles of Youzhou City.

Hearing that his friends on the tree discovered it, the Sui army scouts who were resting under the big tree stood up one after another, and the leader Huo Chang's surname was Yan. He immediately said to the two scouts: "Go and check the situation quickly, don't be careless!"

The two scouts were quick to move, like two night monkeys, and rushed towards the old mountain forest two miles away. Half an hour later, the two ran back excitedly: "There are seven or eight thousand people resting in the old mountain forest. They should be bandits in Yanshan."

Yan Huo grew up happy. They discovered that the main force of Yanshan bandits were going to make meritorious service and received the award. He immediately ordered one to go back to the city to report, and he led other soldiers to continue to stay on the spot to monitor.

At the fifth update, the Youzhou General Administration Office was still brightly lit, and dozens of officials did not go home to rest. Many major events will occur in the Youzhou area in the past few days. According to the information obtained, two riot troops distributed in Youzhou will plunder the Zhuo County Cang Bian, which will be in these two days.

Just after the fifth update, a scout cavalry rushed from a distance. He turned over and dismounted from the general manager's office and said to the soldiers on the steps: "Report to the general manager quickly, there is an emergency!"

A soldier ran towards Yang Yuanqing's office. At this time, Yang Yuanqing had just fallen asleep in the room and had not yet fallen asleep. The rapid knock on the door immediately woke him up.

"Maintain, the scout discovered an emergency!"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and sat up, opened the door and asked, "Where is the scout?

"It's outside the yamen!"

"Bring him to see me!"

A personal soldier entered the house and lit the candles in the room. The soft light immediately filled the room. Yang Yuanqing sat down and the scout walked into the room under the leadership of two personal guards.

The scout knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the general manager, we have discovered the main force of Yanshan bandits."

Yang Yuanqing was excited and asked quickly: "Where did you find it?"

"Thirty miles north of Youzhou City, there is a hill called Laoshan Forest. In that mountain forest, we found more than 7,000 Yanshan bandits at the third hour. Now the Fire Chief is still monitoring them."

"here you go!"

Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered his left and right and said, "Give this scout team a thousand hang of money!"

The scout was overjoyed, "Thank you, the general manager for the reward."

The personal soldiers took the scouts to receive the reward, and Yang Yuanqing ordered again: "Please go to the conference room to discuss military information!"

Soon, the Chief Secretary Zhao Yuan saw that Sima Li Jing was the chief officer of the military officer Pei Jin. In addition, the temporary prefect Li Yuan was also invited to the county yard before he returned home. More than a dozen soldiers from various Caos also came to attend the meeting. Everyone gathered together and sat on both sides of the long table.

Yang Yuanqing hung up the map of Youzhou General Manager. He picked up a wooden pole and pointed to a black land north of Youzhou City. He had already marked the map with his pen.

This hill is called Laoshanlin. Just over an hour ago, one of our scouts found more than 7,000 Yanshan bandits here.

When everyone heard that the Yanshan bandits had arrived thirty miles away, they were all whispering, and these Yanshan bandits were indeed bold and reckless.

Yang Yuanqing continued: "The leader of the thief Lu Mingyue was once the guard of the King of Qi. I had a deal with him. This person is quite brave. Compared to Wang Poxu, I am more worried that he will collude with the Turks. If he gets the support of the Turks, it is very likely that he will become a major concern in Youzhou. We should not be careless and we must eradicate him as soon as possible."

Zhao Yuanjiu pondered for a moment and asked, "General Manager Yang, to put it this way, the Yanshan bandits attacking Huairong County was Lu Mingyue's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, right?"

“That’s exactly that!”

Yang Yuanqing also exclaimed slightly: "It can be seen from this that Lu Mingyue is a good person to use strategies, but I have sent Yang Jiachen to lead 3,000 cavalry to pretend to be 10,000 people and go to rescue, under my banner. Since Lu Mingyue wants to lure the tiger out of the mountain, I will hide it from the sea."

At this time, Li Jing said: "Since Lu Mingyue is going to meet Wang Baxu, they will make an appointment for time to act together. Now Lu Mingyue has arrived thirty miles outside Youzhou City, so what about Wang Baxu's army? Where will they be?"

"They should still be in Wuhuiling. Su Lie led 3,000 troops in Shanggu County. They dared not act rashly, but they did not rule out that they would detour to Youzhou City, so I would also send an army to Shanggu County to intercept it."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing analyzed to Huanren again: "There are now 30,000 troops in Youzhou City. I have sent two troops to Huairong County and Shanggu County. There are still 24,000 troops in total. I plan to lead 10,000 people to intercept Lu Mingyue, and not allow him to get close to the warehouse or Shanggu County."

Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Li Jing, "Let Li Sima lead 7,000 people to Shanggu County and meet with Su Lie's troops. Li Sima, I will hand it over to you in Shanggu County."

Li Jing nodded silently. He had never led his troops alone in his life. Attacking Wang Baxu would be the first battle in his life.

Yang Yuanqing said to the others: "In order to prevent the remaining seven thousand troops from being transferred into the city to garrison, the city gate will no longer be opened tomorrow morning, Zhao Changshi, Pei Ganjun, and Li Taishou..."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and bowed to Li Yuan, "I'll ask you all for the defense of Youzhou City!"

On a desolate and narrow mountain road, a horseman was running fast. He wore a hat and most of his face was covered, with a long scar on his face.

On both sides of the mountain road are large black pine forests, with straight trunks soaring into the sky, and the shadows of the tree cover the mountain road, giving the mountain road a gloomy feeling. This is an extremely low hill with black pine forests that are about ten miles long. This area is named Laoshan Forest, also known as Heishan Forest, which is a famous forest in the north of Youzhou City.

The man riding horse rushed up the pine forest from a gap, ran towards the depths of the black pine forest, and ran about five or six miles, five or six people jumped from the tree, raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at him, blocking his way.

"I'll look for you King Shi!"

The man riding a horse took off his hat and showed his hideous face. A long scar stretched from his forehead to the bottom, which was shocking.

This person's surname is Wei, and his real name has been forgotten. Because of the scar on his face, everyone calls him Wei Daoer, who is also from Shanggu County. He is a general of Wang Baxu, with a strong martial arts skill and a scout leader in Wang Baxu's village.

Wei Daoer was disobedient by Song Jingang because of his feud with Song Jingang, and he was very unsatisfied in Wang Baxu's army. If he hadn't had some kinship with Wang Baxu, Song Jingang would have killed him long ago. This time he was sent by Wang Baxu to find Lu Mingyue to coordinate the actions of both sides.

After a moment, a soldier came out and said, "My king summoned you!"

Please give me a monthly ticket!!
