On September 14th, General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei galloped towards Xinkou. (None., pop-up window
Yun Dingxing arrived at Naocheng on the night of the 12th, where he received a secret message from the Jinyang left-behind camp: Li Yuan led the Hedong reinforcements to Jinyang on the ninth day of the lunar month, and Yang Tong led the Dongdu reinforcements to Jinyang on the 10th day of the lunar month. On the same day, Yang Tong and Li Yuan led their troops north to Yanmen. Later on the same day, Yang Yichen led the Xijing reinforcements to Jinyang.
This secret message was sent out on the night of the 11th and arrived at Guocheng on the night of the 12th. The journey of more than 400 miles took only 12 hours, which can be described as extremely fast. However, why did the Jinyang left-behind camp not send any news of the arrival of reinforcements on the ninth or tenth day of the lunar month? Yun Dingxing's subordinates are also from the nobility, and there should be no doubt about Yun Dingxing's loyalty. This bizarre situation can only mean one thing. They dare not send out the news for fear that it will harm Yun Dingxing's interests. .
In other words, before leaving Jinyang, or at the front line of Mount Laoshan, Yun Dingxing had considered the various changes that might occur in the imperial political situation after the fall of Yanmen and the capture of the emperor, and he had also made preparations for this.
The nobles of the two capitals used various excuses to deliberately conceal the support. Everyone knew what the purpose was. In this case, Yun Dingxing certainly had to leave a way out for himself. There was no need to worry about the nobles of the two capitals over such a trivial matter. When things get dirty, you have to cooperate when it's time to "cooperate."
When Yang Yichen arrived in Jinyang, the Jinyang left-behind camp immediately sent out the news, which was obviously under Yang Yichen's instruction. At this time, Yun Dingxing still did not know the location of Yue Wang Yang Tong and Shanxi Hedong Comfort Ambassador Li Yuan. It can be inferred from this that the nobles of Xijing are "acting black hands" on the nobles of Dongdu.
Yun Dingxing took the secret document. Not only was he not overjoyed because the reinforcements arrived in time, but he was filled with gloom, fear, and an urge to kill. A certain person finally survived the storm that year and finally made a comeback. You wait for these shameless things to frame a certain person again. You want to put a certain person to death, but you are not going to let another person live?
Yun Dingxing weighed the matter and made a decisive decision. He hurriedly reported to the emperor. On the night of the twelfth day, he received a secret message from the Jinyang stay camp. The reinforcements from the two capitals and the reinforcements from Hedong, a total of 90,000 troops, had left Jinyang and were rushing to Yanmen. As for when the three supporting armies arrived in Jinyang and which one arrived in Jinyang first, he deliberately concealed it in order to leave himself room for maneuver.
On the 13th, Yun Dingxing received letters from Yang Tong and Li Yuan. It was obvious that the powerful people in the Eastern Capital had plotted against the powerful people in the Western Capital. Once this matter "occurred", although the emperor was furious and wanted to kill people with a knife, Yun Dingxing also completely offended the powerful people in the Eastern Capital, especially the Yue King Yang Tong and the Shandong people behind him. The Cui family, the number one wealthy family, would definitely misunderstand that he had teamed up with the powerful people in Xijing to "frame" him, and would definitely kill him at all costs as revenge.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Dingxing immediately decided to go to Xinkou in person to discuss the aftermath with Yang Tong, the king of Yue, Shi Cui, the king of Yue, and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty.
He would rather offend the powerful people in Xijing than the powerful people in the eastern capital. It is obvious that if the emperor wins this decisive battle, he will definitely use his great martial arts to launch a new round of political storm to attack his political opponents and pave the way for him to continue to promote reforms, stabilize the domestic situation, and alleviate various domestic conflicts. obstacles, and the Xijing aristocratic group, as the largest conservative force in the empire, is bound to suffer a new round of attacks.
The last political storm caused by Yang Xuangan's rebellion was supposed to inflict heavy damage on them, but the Eastern Expedition had not yet been completed, and the Northern Captives were eyeing the Northern Territory from one side. The emperor was forced to "show his noble hand" due to heavy internal and external pressure. They also tried their best to "join forces vertically and horizontally" and cleverly escaped a disaster. However, this time, the emperor may not be so kind and arrogant. Otherwise, he will be severely constrained and unable to solve a series of domestic conflicts. and conflict.
At dusk on the 14th, Yun Dingxing arrived at Xinkou.
After exchanging a few words, Yun Dingxing took out the secret documents sent to him from the left-behind camp in Jinyang, and then took out the secret documents sent to him by Yang Tong and Li Yuan.
Yang Tong's expression immediately changed. Only then did he realize that Cui Hao was "lying" to him, and Li Yuan was also "lied" to him. The Shandong people headed by the Cui family and the Guanlong Wuchuan people headed by the Dugu family all He deliberately used this decisive battle between the north and the south to kill the emperor and take the opportunity to replace the emperor. this is too scary.
Cui Hao and Li Yuan looked calm and unfazed.
Even if Yun Dingxing doesn't take the initiative to report this matter, or if Yun Dingxing secretly helps the powerful people in Xijing to "calculate" them, they are not afraid. They have already had countermeasures, and they have a "trump card" in their hands - that is Jialan¡¤ As for Jialan and Pei Shiju, if Pei Shiju just opened his mouth, reversed the right and wrong, and followed the emperor's will to criticize the powerful people in Xijing, then the powerful people in Xijing would be shooting themselves in the foot and seeking death. In fact, as long as the decisive battle is won, it is the powerful people in Xijing who will "suffer". In this case, what do the powerful people in the eastern capital have to worry about? Besides, the decisive battle is already certain, so there is no need to worry. At this time, the powerful people in Xijing are "down" behind their backs."Hand", wouldn't it play right into the emperor's arms?
"But since Yun Dingxing is here, since he's here to "ask for credit", since he's here to show his kindness, why should he turn away people?
Cui Hao was too lazy to waste time on such a trivial matter, so he pulled Yang Tong into the side account and comforted him while analyzing and explaining the complicated reasons and relationships. In a word, the decisive battle was won, and Jialan became everyone in the empire. The admired hero also had a very stable status in the emperor's mind. These were all good things for Yang Tong and helped him get closer to the throne of the emperor. As for those "trivial" things that Yun Dingxing mentioned, they are really not worth mentioning.
Li Yuan and Yun Dingxing also had a pleasant conversation, and finally Yun Dingxing came up with an idea. He asked his staff to write a secret message about Li Yuan and Yang Tong's arrival in Jinyang, and set the time for sending the secret message to the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month. , In this way, it will be "perfect" and no flaw will be found.
That night, King Yang Tong of Yue issued an order to inform all the lieutenants of the army that the main force of the Northern Captive Army was at Yanmen and the emperor was leading his troops to pursue them. At the same time, the Northern Captive Force was attacked by General Jialan and several of his subordinates at Daibailang fortress. Tens of thousands of troops are blocking the way, the escape route is blocked, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are surrounded by our imperial army. A magnificent decisive battle is about to begin. Today, the emperor has ordered that soldiers from all armies rush to White Wolf Fortress day and night to join the battle and encircle and annihilate the North. He made unparalleled feats, won a decisive victory for the empire, and won peace in the northern frontier for China.
For a time, drums and trumpets were blaring, cheers were thundering, and the morale of the imperial soldiers was like a rainbow. Regardless of fatigue, they immediately set up camp and rushed towards the Daibei battlefield.
On September 15th, white wolves invaded the battlefield, and beacon smoke filled the sky with murderous intent.
The Beibei army increased by 50,000 troops, three times the strength of the empire. Under the personal command of Shibi Khan, they launched a violent attack on Bailangsai.
Jialan and the Yanbei Army were like a solid embankment, standing firm as a rock under the crazy impact of the roaring waves from the north and the south.
On the flank battlefield of Bailang fortress, the Youzhou Army, under the command of Zhao Shizhu, He Lanyi, and Jin Wenyan, launched attacks against the Beibei along both sides of Efeishui, trying to contain the enemy at all costs and help Liu Hei Ta and Xue Wanjun defended Efeikou. At the same time, Li Jing and Luo Yi commanded the Peiping Army and launched a bloody fight with the enemy on the Shenwuchuan front line.
Shibi Khan was confident that he would attack with one blow and destroy the imperial army in Bailangsai in the shortest time. Therefore, while he concentrated his main force to attack Huanghuadui, he did not allocate more troops to block the imperial army coming from the direction of Shenwuchuan. army. However, the Beirut attack on Bailangpa was blocked. Shibi Khan became so angry that he threw all his troops into the battlefield regardless of the consequences. As a result, just when the Beirut were about to capture Huanghuadui, the rear flanks were defeated by the Empire due to insufficient troops. The army broke through, and an imperial elite cavalry directly attacked the Turks' tent, instantly confusing the position of the northern army.
The first attack failed, and the Khan was furious. He ordered Kang Shelley to attack the Shenwuchuan, seize the Shenwuchuan, and destroy the pincer defense of the imperial army on the southern battlefield of Bailangsai.
On September 15th, another 20,000 main force of Northern prisoners entered the Bailangsai battlefield.
Mohedushe Ashinadu Si was supposed to lead an army of 50,000 on the Bailangsai battlefield, but because the emperor pursued them very quickly, he launched an attack on the front line of Sanggan Town on the 14th, directly attacking The Northern Lu army posed a major threat, forcing Mohe Dushe to stop his march northward, and instead divided his troops into two groups to go to Bailangsai. Along the way, he stationed troops in Shanyang and deployed on both sides of the Sanggan River to block the clause. The imperial troops came one after another from two directions, the fortress and Loufanguan.
As a result, the situation in the Daibei War became increasingly unfavorable to the Turks.
Now, Bi Khan, Tilifu set up Ashina Duli, and Tilifa Kangsheli commanded more than 170,000 people to control the strings from the north and south to attack the White Wolf Fortress, trying to open the northward evacuation channel, while Mohedu set up Ashina Duo Si and Qijin Kangsumi led more than 50,000 Kongxian to guard the front lines of Shanyang and Sangqian Town to block the imperial pursuers.
"In addition, there are still more than 20,000 control strings in the direction of Yunnei. That army cannot be moved no matter what. Once Yunnei is lost and this side fails to break through the White Wolf Fortress, the Beibei will be completely surrounded.
There are still tens of thousands of control strings at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and that army cannot move, because the empire's northwest army is watching eagerly west of the river. Once the empire's northwest army enters the Daibei battlefield, it controls the three areas of Baidao, Wuyao Beiyuan and Ushikawa. If the pass is a major pass, even if the Northerners break through the White Wolf Fortress and withdraw from the Great Wall, they will still be blocked by the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, so the importance of that army is self-evident. Previously, Tlifushe Ashinadoli had already forcibly mobilized some troops from that army to go south for support. After that, he could no longer mobilize troops unless he really didn't want to go home.
On September 15, the emperor commanded the imperial army to capture the town of Sangqian, and then tried to cross the Huangshui River by force, but failed.
On this day, the emperor received General Yun Ding of Zuotunwei.Suddenly, the two capital reinforcements and Li Yuan's Hedong reinforcements, a total of 90,000 troops, had left Jinyang City and were rushing to Yanmen. In compliance with the Holy Lord's will, Yun Dingxing will join the reinforcements at Mount Naoshan and rush to the Bailangsai battlefield via Loufan Pass.
On this day, the emperor also personally summoned a Yanbei army scout who came south from the Bailangsai battlefield to inquire about the military situation. The scout did not expect to meet the emperor in Sanggan town. He was so excited that he immediately took out the secret document drafted by Jialan himself.
