Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning of September 12th, King Yang Jian of Qi received news from the scouts that all the Beibei troops under Yanmen City had evacuated.

    Yang Jian was overjoyed and ordered the three armies to quickly advance to Yanmen City.

    Yun Dingxing, the general of Zuotunwei, was worried about an accident and sent a selected vanguard army to rush to the Xixing Fortress to inquire about the military situation to prevent any unexpected events.

    In Yanmen City, the sky is filled with drums and trumpets and thunderous cheers.

    The emperor, the central ministers of the empire, the imperial guards and the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen witnessed the miracle with their own eyes. The northern barbarians evacuated. After besieging Yanmen City for a full month, they evacuated. Yanmen City was victorious, and the imperial emperor was victorious.  , the Emperor's prediction became a reality, and the Emperor's prestige reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.

    With the arrival of the imperial reinforcements, the excited cheers were even more earth-shattering and resounded throughout the sky.

    Yanmen City slowly opened.

    King Yang Jian of Qi, General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei, General Zhe Chonglang of Xiaoguo Second and Third Army, and important officials of the palace went to the city to meet the emperor.

    The emperor is in a good mood, but the life-and-death battle between the north and the south has just begun. Whether they can complete the decisive battle goal and realize the strategic intention in the next battle requires not only the continued efforts of the entire army, but also the Yanbei army's officers and men at the Great Wall.  The front line firmly blocks the escape route of the northern captives, and it is even more necessary for the two capitals to send large amounts of reinforcements.  If the empire wants to win this decisive battle, it is far from enough to rely solely on the morale and courage of its soldiers. It must have absolute strength and must surpass its opponent in terms of army numbers.  The emperor was worried about this and was eager to understand the current war situation and how many reinforcements had come from the two capitals.

    The emperor first summoned Qi Wang Yang Jian.  Yang Xian was trapped in Guocheng and only escaped at noon yesterday. Although he rushed to Yanmen's aid as soon as possible, he knew nothing about the current battle situation.

    The emperor encouraged Yang Jian a few words and urgently summoned General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei.

    Yun Dingxing was terrified, but he still knew the priority of the matter.  The first thing to tell the emperor was the situation in the Eastern Capital.  On August 24, the Eastern Capital issued an edict to all places to go north to Yanmen for King Qin.  When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly darkened.  Pei Shiju, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er and other important ministers also looked heavy, and their faces were even more "clouded".

    The emperor was besieged Yanmen on August 13th, and Dongdu issued an edict to King Qin on August 24th. There was a gap of ten days.  Judging from the empire's developed post system and the accelerated transmission speed during the war, it can be seen that the Eastern Capital responded slowly, and everyone knew the reason for the slow response. A considerable number of powerful people in the Eastern Capital intended to kill the emperor.

    "How is the situation in Daibei?" The emperor quickly put aside the worries of the Eastern Capital and turned his attention to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang.  "Where is Galan?"

    Where is Jialan?  This is what the emperor has been saying for nearly a month, and the ears of the ministers around him are ringing. However, it is these words that tenaciously support the emperor's will. Whether he is deceiving himself or others, the emperor always firmly believes that Jialan can follow his vision.  Complete the strategic deployment of the decisive battle.

    "General Jialan captured Bailang fortress on August 19th. He has held on to this day."

    ????????????????????????????????????????? out????????  The emperor suddenly became excited.  shouted at Pei Shiju.  "White Wolf Sai, Jialan is indeed at White Wolf Sai."

    Pei Shiju's heart was trembling and he almost burst into tears.  Although his psychological quality was very good, after enduring nearly a month of heavy pressure, Tuwen Jialan really captured Bailangsai and completed the strategic siege of Beilu.  All the pressure suddenly disappeared. Excitement, joy, joy all kinds of emotions suddenly came to my heart, and I had a lot of mixed feelings.

    Seeing that the emperor was happy, Yun Dingxing felt less afraid.  Then he continued to report, "The ambassador of the Northeast Road, General Zuo Yuwei, and Xue Shixiong, who was left behind in Zhuojun, led the Youzhou Yingyang to rush to Yanbei on August 18th, and arrived at Yanbei Xingyuan on the 22nd, commanding from the center. 8  On the 27th of the lunar month, Chiji set up Ashina Duba and led his army to invade the border and attacked the line of the Yanbei Great Wall. Guo Xuan, the governor of Zhuojun, led his army to stop it. On the second day of September, General Li Jing of the Youwu Guard led the troops in Peiping.  Yingyang has arrived in Yanbei. According to Zhuojun's urgent report, in early September, Yang Gongren, who was left behind in Liaodong, led all Yingyangs in Liaodong and Liaoxi to enter Yuguan. If nothing unexpected happens, they are about to arrive in Yanbei or have already arrived in Yanbei."

    Taiyuan, Zhuojun and Yanbei have always maintained contact, but the distance is long, the terrain is complex, and they are in a deserted borderland, so the message transmission is slow.  The information that Yun Dingxing currently has is as of early September, and subsequent news is probably still on the way.

    The emperor is in a better mood.  Xue Shixiong is loyal, Li Jing is loyal, Yang Gongren is also a good nephew, and the entire five major town garrison troops in the Northeast Road are loyal to him, and they are sure to win this decisive battle.

    "How is the situation at White Wolf Fortress?" the emperor asked impatiently.  The key to winning the decisive battle lies in Bailangsai and whether Jialan and Yanbei Army can hold on until the arrival of the main army.

    Yun Dingxing reported good news but not bad news. He took advantage of what Jialan had done in the early stage of defense.The two victories achieved were reported as highlights.  As for the later stage of defense, although Beilu will definitely increase his troops to attack Bailangsai, Xue Shixiong will also continue to reinforce Jialan.  Xue Shixiong has the main force of the Youzhou Army, and General Youwuwei Li Jing should have arrived at the Bailangsai battlefield at this time. In this way, the disparity in strength between the two sides will not be too great. The imperial army also has geographical advantages, so it can basically fight  They are evenly matched.  However, now that the main force of the Beibei troops besieging Yanmen has withdrawn north, the number of Beibei troops on the Bailangsai battlefield will soon increase to hundreds of thousands or even more than 200,000, while the number of the imperial army is at an absolute disadvantage.  , the White Wolf Fortress will definitely not be able to hold on. Unless the reinforcements from the two capitals arrive quickly and arrive at the battlefield before the White Wolf Fortress falls, the final decisive battle will surely come to nothing.

    Yun Dingxing was reluctant to mention the reinforcements from the two capitals, but the emperor could not wait any longer. After learning that the main force of the Northeast Road was doing its best to defend the White Wolf Fortress, he immediately asked, "Where are the reinforcements from the two capitals?"

    Yun Dingxing was speechless and sweating, and in his heart he scolded the two powerful officials bloody.

    The emperor's heart sank instantly, and his excitement and joy were instantly overwhelmed by the anger. It was unbearable. What had I done wrong to make the dignitaries of the two capitals hate me so much that they had to kill me?  To die, for which he would not hesitate to betray the empire, the imperial power, and the central government?

    "Where are the reinforcements?" The emperor asked sternly with a gloomy look, "Where are they?"

    Yun Dingxing knelt on the ground and bowed his head to plead guilty.

    The emperor asked him to sit in Taiyuan. In addition to transporting military supplies to the frontline battlefield, the most important thing was to recruit reinforcements.  There are less than 20,000 Daibei troops on the entire Daibei battlefield. Even if the emperor marches north, at most he can only hold hundreds of thousands of northern captives to the north of Juzhu Mountain. If he wants to realize the strategy of a decisive battle between the north and the south, he must  At least 100,000 guardsmen were transferred from the two capitals.  However, Yun Dingxing did not complete this important task. He did his duty, regardless of life and death, and was the first to kill Yanmen City at any cost. King Qin had merit, but the emperor used his body as a bait and was trapped in Yanmen. His purpose was to drag him down.  Accommodating the main force of the northern barbarians is to buy time for the armies in northern Xinjiang to complete their deployment for the decisive battle. What he wants is a decisive battle, to deal a heavy blow to the northern barbarians, and to win a stable border situation for the empire for at least ten to twenty years.  This allows the central government to concentrate all its energy and national power for a long time to come, continue to push the empire forward on the road of reform at high speed, and realize the ideal of strengthening the country and enriching the people.

    "Traitors, traitors, traitors" The emperor was furious and couldn't help shouting, "I want to kill people, but the number of people I kill is too few, too few"

    The civil servants and generals were silent, and no one dared to come forward to dissuade them. However, the emperor's emotions could be out of control at this moment, but the development of the war situation could not be out of control. If a decision was not made for a long time, the imperial army on the White Wolf Fortress battlefield would be in danger of being annihilated.  , and the main force of the Northeast Road is basically on the Bailangsai battlefield. Once the entire army is wiped out, the entire Northern Xinjiang garrison, especially the Northeast Road garrison, will fall into an unprecedented crisis.

    Pei Shiju stepped forward resolutely, "Holy Lord, judging from the time, the reinforcements from the two capitals should have arrived in Taiyuan, or will soon arrive in Taiyuan."

    "Taiyuan" The emperor was filled with anger, waving his arms and roaring angrily at Pei Shiju, "What's the use of going to Taiyuan? It's only four days' journey for the main force of the Northern Lu to reach White Wolf Fortress. If we travel day and night, it will take three days.  How many days does it take to arrive at Bailangsai from Taiyuan? Tell me, how many days does it take for the reinforcements from the two capitals to arrive at the Bailangsai battlefield?"

    "Seven days." Pei Shiju replied calmly, "Holy Lord, seven days at most."

    It takes three days to march from Jinyang City, the capital of Taiyuan, to Mount Naoshan, and five days to march from Mount Naoshan to Bailangsai.  After arriving at Mount Naoshan, there are two roads that lead directly to Bailang Fortress. One is via Naocheng, Yanmen City, Xixing Fortress, Juzhu Fortress, Sangqian Town, crossing the Yellow River to Shanyang City, and then going north from Shanyang City.  To Bailangsai.  There is another road that goes straight from Mount Laoshan to Loufangguan, and from Loufangguan to Shanyang City.  The two roads are about a day's journey apart.  Pei Shiju said that it takes up to seven days, which refers to the celestial journey from Mount Laoshan and Loufangguan to Shanyang City.

    "How many days can the White Wolf Fortress hold on?" The emperor suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down. He also knew that once the main force of the Northeast Road was defeated by the White Wolf Fortress, the consequences would be dire.

    "Holy Lord, you must believe in Jialan, you must believe in Duke Wuyin, Duke Hua and Duke Guan, and more importantly, you must believe in the infinite loyalty of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northeast to China and the emperor."

    The emperor thought of the Yanmen soldiers and civilians, and of this bloody and brutal month-long battle. The final victory must belong to China and to me.

    "Publish the edict and rectify the army and horses. After noon, I and the eagles will go north to pursue the enemy. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

    "No, Holy Lord, you absolutely must not" Su Wei immediately dissuaded him, "The Northern Captives are several times larger than me, and it will be extremely dangerous to pursue them rashly."

    Su Wei's advice immediately caused all the ministers to "hurrah".My Majesty, I strongly dissuade you.

    Only Pei Shiju stood beside the emperor, looking at the kneeling ministers with disdain, and he couldn't help but want to spit.

    The emperor was furious, pulled out the horizontal sword, raised his hands high, aimed at the tables in front of him, and chopped them hard.  Several cases were cut into two pieces at the waist, and pen, ink, paper and inkstones were scattered all over the floor.

    "There will be people who give advice again, just like this case!"
