    Youwuwei General Li Jing and the Peiping garrison arrived in Yanbei. About 15,000 Peiping soldiers had crossed the Taihang Mountains from the direction of Juyongguan and were marching day and night to the Yanbei camp. In the next two or three days, they  They will gradually arrive at Huairong City, where the travel camp is located.

    Xue Shixiong was so pleasantly surprised that he immediately sent the Chief of Guards Shi and two soldiers to greet him in advance to express his gratitude.

    The Peiping Army entered Juyong Pass and passed the Taihang Mountains. Afterwards, Li Jingcai reported to Xue Shixiong, which was obviously a gesture: I can accept your leadership, but you cannot restrict or interfere with my battlefield command authority, nor can you directly order me over my shoulder.  My subordinates cannot override my authority to command troops and dispatch my troops at will.

    Xue Shizhi understood the situation and responded positively to Li Jing's implicit statement.  Although both of them are famous generals in the empire, generals in the Wei government, and outstanding members of the Guanlong nobles, Li Jing is older, has more seniority in the army, and has more outstanding achievements.  When the two men jointly controlled the Northeast, Xue Shixiong was the commander-in-chief and Li Jing served under him. This would inevitably lead to conflicts.  In addition, Xue Shixiong came from the nobles of the Hedong family in Guanlong, while Li Jing came from the nobles of the Longxi family in Guanlong. Both parties had their own interests, so it was natural for them to conflict.

    Now that Li Jingneng can obey the imperial edict and Xue Shixiong's order and lead the Peiping army to the Daibei battlefield, he has taken the initiative to lower his "posture", which makes Xue Shixiong full of ambition and happy.  Now he only wants troops, and the more troops the better. As for other specific details, they can be negotiated and compromised. It is not a big problem.

    With more troops entering Daibei, the consumption of food, grass and weapons will also increase exponentially.  Yanbei's military supplies stockpile is very limited.  Although Jialan had made sufficient preparations before, it was far from enough.  Fortunately, Zhuo County stocked an astonishing amount of grain, grass, weapons and other war materials.  After Xue Shixiong made the order to participate in the decisive battle between the north and the south, he immediately ordered the recruitment of corvees and recruited a large number of civilians to transport military supplies to Yanbei.  However, considering the scale of this decisive battle, the length of time it took, and the huge military requirements, Xue Shixiong urgently wrote to the Zhuo County Liushou Mansion and the Northeast Ambassador's Mansion, urging officials from the two governments to do their best to support the Daibei battlefield, and to do everything they could to support the Daibei battlefield.  Measures should be taken to increase the supply of military supplies and speed up the transportation of military supplies.

    On the first day of September, the battle on the Bailangsai battlefield was fierce.  Both sides invested all their troops, and the battlefield was fierce with flags flying and drums and trumpets roaring.

    The armies of both sides fought fiercely on the north and south defense lines of White Wolf Fortress. Between the hills, valleys, woods and rivers, wherever the defense lines touched, there were loud killing sounds and clouds of arrows.

    The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely.  Fighting bravely, the battlefield is littered with corpses and flesh and blood.

    That afternoon, Xue Wanjun led two Yingyang Mansion and more than 2,000 elite soldiers to the Bailangsai battlefield.

    Jialan, who was covered in blood, went out to greet Xue Wanjun in person and hugged Xue Wanjun tightly, "Third brother. Thank you"

    "Brothers, brothers, share life and death."

    Xue Wanjun patted Jialan on the back hard, then pushed him away, took a few steps back, and stood together with the generals under the tent.  He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Generals. Pay homage"

    The generals agreed with a loud voice and bowed in unison, "See you, general!"

    This is a legendary general, a general who rose up from the Middle Earth like a miracle, a general who killed countless people like Asuras and demons from hell. Now he is standing here, with blood-stained robes, majestic, and  What is particularly awe-inspiring and admirable is that in this decisive battle between the north and the south, he not only commanded his soldiers to fight bloody battles with the northern barbarians who were several times his own, but also blocked the Turkic Khan and the main Turkic army.  Yanmen.  I wonder who in the world today has such courage and courage?  Only General Jialan.  The next battle will be extremely cruel and bloody. Today, all the soldiers in White Wolf Fortress may die heroically and die heroically for their country. However, no one retreats or flinches. For the sake of China and the empire, they will not hesitate to break their bodies to pieces.  .

    "No!" Jialan bowed, raised his hands, and said sternly, "Warriors of the empire, brothers of the Weifu, today we live and die together, fight to the death, and kill the northern captives under the wall with the long sword in our hands!"

    "Here!" The generals agreed loudly and saluted again, "Fight to the death!"

    The roar was like thunder, shaking the world.

    At dusk, Xue Wanjun led two Yingyang Mansion into the Efeokou battlefield and immediately entered the battle.

    At the critical moment of the stalemate, the empire's elite troops came to support, which greatly boosted the morale of Yanbei's officers and soldiers. Their morale was as high as ever, and their confidence was at an all-time high.

    On the same day, the Yanmen battlefield was equally brutal. With unprecedented courage, indomitable will, generous determination to die, and infinite longing for the future, soldiers on both sides continued to fight, continue to kill, and continued to accept the call of death.

    At the end of the day, Khan was already riding a tiger and could not get off. He was in a dilemma, and he was even more hesitant and hesitant.  His confidence has been shaken, and he is looking forward to hearing earth-shattering news.?Cheers, hearing the good news of the capture of Yanmen, and the good news of the capture of the Emperor of China.  The mentality of luck and greed have controlled his sanity, coupled with the extreme fear of failure and the extreme desire for victory, making him suffer.  But he could only wait helplessly, waiting for Sirius God to show his power to protect his people, and waiting for the God of Fate to make the final judgment on the Turks.

    The emperor in Yanmen City was angrily cursing, cursing the vicious Turks, cursing the ungrateful traitors, cursing the dignitaries in Dongdu and Xijing who conspired to overthrow him, cursing the generals of the Imperial Guard who had sworn allegiance to him,  He even cursed Yun Dingxing, who stayed in Taiyuan, and gritted his teeth to kill him.

    Yun Dingxing is the father-in-law of the former prince Yang Yong. He was once deposed and abandoned due to the prince's case.  The emperor didn't want to use him, but Yu Wenshu strongly recommended him. It happened that the emperor also wanted to find an opportunity to save the bad impact on his reputation caused by the prince's case, so he re-appointed Yun Dingxing.

    The emperor felt regretful at this moment, thinking that he had misunderstood the person and hired the wrong person, and even scolded Yu Wenshu bloody.  Yu Wenshu was also very depressed, secretly complaining about Yun Dingxing, thinking that you are too incompetent, right?  Do you still want to live?  The emperor has been trapped in Yanmen for more than half a month, you still want to show your face outside Yanmen City, right?  Aren't you looking for death?  If you are looking for death, then look for death, but don't harm me.

    If Yun Dingxing knew that the emperor wanted to kill him, he would definitely feel unjust.  I wish I could kill him to prove my innocence.

    On this day, on the battlefield of Guoshan, the warlord Yun Dingxing attacked fiercely.

    The soldiers of the empire are well-armed.  They are good at infantry warfare, and they fight on the local ground, and they are as powerful as tigers. However, Beilu Controlling only has a numerical advantage. In addition, the southward attack is blocked, making it difficult to advance, and morale is hit hard. Therefore, the two sides are evenly matched.  Killed until rivers of blood flowed.

    On the same day, the army of King Qin of the Eastern Capital had crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Taihang Mountains from the direction of Hanoi, and were galloping through the high mountains of Changping County in southern Shanxi.

    On the same day, Xijing King Qin¡¯s division also crossed the Yellow River and advanced rapidly from the northeast of the river.

    On the same day, Li Yuan, the consolation ambassador from Shanxi and Hedong, led the main army in Hedong.  Go north from Longmen and rush to Taiyuan along the Fenhe River.

    On the second day of September, Youwuwei General Li Jing and Wu Benlang General Luo Yi led ten horse regiments of the Peiping Army to arrive at Huairong City first.

    Xue Shixiong, the ambassador of the Northeast Road and the general of Zuoyuwei, went out ten miles from the camp gate to greet him.  After the two sides exchanged greetings for a while, Xue Shixiong invited Li Jing to go to the palace together. Unexpectedly, Li Jing waved his hand and declined politely.  "The war is tense, and rescuing troops is like putting out fires. No need to be polite, Mr. Wu Yin, let me first understand the military situation, and then give the order directly. From Mr. Wu down in the Peking Army, only Mr. Wu Yin follows the lead."

    Li Jing was not polite in his words.  This is a tall, broad, majestic, military veteran with a three-foot beard.  He obviously had certain prejudices against General Xue, who was not as good as him in terms of qualifications and military achievements, but was superior to him because of his higher family status and the emperor's favor.

    Xue Shixiong, however, used rhetoric and did not engage in unnecessary disputes of temperament.  Winning the war will be beneficial to everyone. The safety of the empire and the lives of the soldiers are the most important.

    "That's very good!" Xue Shixiong bowed to express his thanks, and then waved to the staff behind him.

    The Military Director of the Wei Mansion hurried forward with two deputies. While opening the military map of the Daibei battlefield, he began to describe the current battle situation in detail to Li Jing, Luo Yi and other Peiping generals, and made analysis and deductions.

    According to the latest news obtained by Xue Shixiong, the emperor and some central ministers are still trapped in Yanmen City. Qi King Yang Jian and the palace officials are still trapped in Guocheng.  Within the territory of Yanmen, the safety of Taiyuan was ensured.  The reinforcements in Taiyuan were slowly assembled. It was not until August 23 that General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei gathered 20,000 horses to go north for rescue.  According to Xue Shixiong's estimation, Yun Dingxing was limited by the lack of troops and could only stick to Laoshan with the Xiaoguo Second Army. He was unable to rescue Laocheng and Yanmen, nor could he pose a threat to the hundreds of thousands of northern captives on the Yanmen battlefield.  .

    However, the Northeast Ambassador's Office and Yanbei Xingyuan have a consensus on the development of the war situation, that is, Shibi Khan and the Beibei army are bound to be forced by various unfavorable factors such as season, climate, military supplies, and the deteriorating situation in the tents and deserts.  Implement a strategic retreat around mid-September. That is to say, as long as the emperor holds out at Yanmen until mid-September, the empire will have a decisive advantage in this decisive battle, and the northern captives will be passive.  If Naduoli and Qilifa Kangshouli cannot capture the White Wolf Fort and open up a strategic retreat channel before mid-September, then the main force of the Northern Army will be surrounded, and the empire will win the final victory in this decisive battle.

    Therefore, whether the White Wolf Fortress can be defended is the key to whether the empire can win the final victory in this decisive battle between the north and the south.

    Li Jing listened very carefully and paid full attention.  The military story to be recorded is completed.?He already knows the entire Daibei battlefield well.  After thinking for a moment, he asked the first question, "Can your Majesty hold on in Yanmen City until mid-September?"

    Most people can't answer this question, but Li Jing knows that Xue Shixiong and Jialan are both the executors of the decisive battle strategy drawn up by the emperor. Although he feels quite disappointed and even a little jealous about this, who does the emperor believe?  It is the emperor's business to favor whomever he wants. No matter how well he does and how loyal he is to the emperor, but the emperor does not believe him, what can he do?  Therefore, he was initially not enthusiastic about going to Daibei. It was not until Xue Shixiong told him that the emperor was trapped in Yanmen that he keenly sensed the opportunity. At this moment, the first person to rush to the battlefield of Daibei to fight for the king will surely win.  The emperor's trust.

    Xue Shixiong gave an affirmative answer.  Unless God must destroy the empire, the emperor will definitely be able to defend Yanmen City.

    "When will the reinforcements from Dongdu and Xijing arrive in Daibei?"

    Xue Shixiong can't answer this question. He doesn't even know that Dongdu has issued an edict to King Qin so far. He can only pray for God's blessing.

    Li Jing shook his head and sighed silently.

    The emperor is gambling. The emperor's character has changed a lot over the years. Impulsiveness is greater than reason, and romance is greater than reality. Although the emperor is amazing in the layout of Chinese and foreign grand strategies, and has succeeded repeatedly, if this battle is won, the emperor will basically  The emperor came close to the construction of the magnificent strategic framework in his ideal. However, the emperor confused the ideal with the reality, and the reality was always some distance away from his ideal. For this reason, the emperor was very impatient and acted eager for quick success and quick gain, no matter what.  Both strategy and employment were full of contradictions and variations, which made the emperor and the people around him always in a state of anxiety and anger. Therefore, in terms of strategy, they often divorced reality and made desperate bets.  , and the eclectic way of recruiting talents is often surprising. For example, the use of Jialan is an unprecedented example in the history of the empire.

    Li Jing asked the third question, "Can Jialan hold the White Wolf Seal?"

    ??

    Li Jing knew the mission of the Peking Army. He bowed to Xue Shixiong and said, "Please give the order to Duke Wuyin."

    "The Peiping army rushed to the White Wolf Fortress and deployed formations along the Shenwuchuan and Sanggan Rivers to form a pincer defense with the White Wolf Fortress, blocking the main force of the Beibei forces under the White Wolf Fortress at all costs."

    Li Jing, Luo Yi and other generals of the Peking Army bowed to accept the order and agreed with a bang.
