In the original West Living Hall, Xu Shiji was watching the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands on his back. These are all works by Pei’s younger brother in a century, with hundreds of works, most of which belong to Jingyi. Among them, Pei Zheng’s calligraphy and paintings are

It's a great hit, and it made Xu Shiji praise his original debut]

The West Living Hall is a expensive guest room, and most people cannot stay here. It is because of Yang Yuanqing that the Pei family brought Xu Shiji here to rest. Xu Shiji didn't know what Yang Yuanqing brought him to the Pei family. It was his private matter to Yang Yuanqing to the Pei family.

It should have nothing to do with him, which made Xu Shiji very confused, but he didn't have to ask too much, so he had to wait patiently.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Yang Yuanqing walked in like a gust of wind.

"Let's go right now!"

Xu Shiji was startled, "What happened?"

"I just got the news of my personal soldiers. Li Shuliang's 20,000 troops were on his way to Zhengping County. We missed them in Jishan County the night before."

Xu Shiji was both surprised and happy. This time they went south to find Li Shuliang's army and sent more than a dozen scouts. There was no news, but they did not expect that they would get the news when they came to Wenxi County.

"Then let's go."

As soon as he said that, Xu Shiji felt something was wrong. Yang Yuanqing was about to leave after less than an hour after coming to Pei’s mansion?

"Do you want the Pei Mansion to say hello?"

"I told him that there is emergency military service, so it's okay for me to be here, but you."

Yang Yuanqing apologized: "I wanted to bring you a good look at Pei Xue, but it was too late. I'm really sorry."

Xu Shiji felt an inexplicable feeling. It turned out that Yang Yuanqing wanted to bring him to visit Pei Xue. He cared about what he said on the way. Xu Shiji didn't like to reveal his emotions, and he restrained his heart.

Thankfully, he smiled and said, "Next time! I hope that when I come again next time, Pei's mansion will treat me as a distinguished guest. He will no longer need the general manager to accompany me."

Yang Yuanqing understood what he meant, and nodded, staring at his expected gaze seriously, "It will definitely be!"

The two of them said goodbye to Pei's mansion, turned over and ran away from the city with three hundred guards. When they walked away, Pei Ji slowly walked to the gate of Pei's mansion. Looking at the team that was leaving. He knew very well that Yang Yuanqing was

What to do? His timidity in his heart made him dare not step out of the gate of Pei's mansion.

The timidity in his heart was not only threatened by Yang Yuanqing, but also worried about the defeat of Li Shuliang's army. He did not want to bear this responsibility.

At this time, his entourage leader ran up, "Changshi Pei. Are we going back?"

Pei Ji shook his head, "The matter that the Lord Bus gave me has not been completed yet, so I won't go back for now."

He took out another note and handed it to the entourage leader, "You send someone to inform Marshal Li immediately, and say that Yang Yuanqing appeared in Wenxi County, and his army was likely nearby, so Marshal Li must not be careless."

"I understand, go immediately!"

The leader of the follower took the note and ran away. Pei Ji sighed softly. He had done his best. If Li Shuliang was still defeated, it had nothing to do with him, Pei Ji.

The war horses were galloping, with murderous auras. Ten thousand cavalry rushed through the field. They rushed into a shallow river and stirred up waves. Yang Yuanqing jumped onto the shore, and the red eagle flag flew behind him, and the farmers busy in the rice fields were busy.

The terrified god showed in his eyes. The cavalry who had walked leisurely in the afternoon became murderous at this time, and many people screamed and fled to the distance.

The war horses galloped on the official road. Rolling up the rolling yellow dust, and in just half an hour the cavalry rushed out of Wenxi County and rushed towards Zhengping County in the northwest. If everything goes well, then you can arrive in Zhengping County tonight, Yang Yuanqing

They must intercept Li Shuliang's army before they arrive in Zhengping County. If the enemy troops are allowed to settle in the county, they will lose this opportunity.

Now they still have hope, because it is dark, and if it weren't for the war period, the army would not march at night.

Zhengping County, which is the capital of Jiangjun County, is a tall and sturdy city wall. The wall is circumference of 30 miles and has a population of more than 200,000. It is the third largest city in the southeast of the river after Hedong County and Shangdang County. There are 5,000 Tang troops stationed.

.

Li Shuliang's 20,000 troops were on the way to Zhengping County at this time, and it was still twenty miles away from Zhengping County.

They crossed the Yellow River from Longmen two days ago. After two days of march, they entered Jiangjun from Hedong County. They set out from Jishan County at noon and headed to Zhengping County. They wanted to wait for Pei Ji to return in Zhengping County before continuing their march after Pei Ji returned.

Go north.

The head coach Li Shuliang is about 40 years old this year. He is skilled in archery and horses. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He can be said to be both civil and military. When Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan, he was recruiting troops in Changping County, so he directly raised an army in Changping County and responded. He was therefore named Changping County.

male.

Although Li Shuliang is both civil and military, he does not have much practical experience and has only participated in the counter-rebellion against Wu Duaner. He has a big characteristic, which is that he is cautious and meticulous. He will not do anything that is risky, and he will not defend himself.

It is strict and considers all aspects very thoughtful. Li Yuan is interested in his cautious and meticulousness, hoping that he can enter Taiyuan to take charge of defense and defend Taiyuan City.

The sky was getting darker, and the deputy general Liu Hongji rushed up and said, "Master General, you are still twenty miles away from Zhengping County. Do you want to march in one go?"

Li Shuliang looked at the terrain. The terrain was wide. Two miles south of the south was Fen River, and more than ten miles ahead was a dark mountain range. He shook his head, "It is more dangerous to cross the mountain at night, so he still camped on the spot. After dawn

Go again.”

Liu Hongji mainly considered that Zhengping County had better conditions and had been camping in the wild. He was a little bored. He wanted to persuade him again, but Li Shuliang's attitude was very firm.

"Since you have arrived in Hedong, you must defend against Yang Yuanqing's cavalry at any time. If you have suffered a great loss from Xue Ju, you should know that the cavalry will march. There are mountains ahead and dense forests. Crossing the mountains at night is a taboo for soldiers. We should be very careful.

Don't say anything more, pass my orders and stay on the spot!"

Liu Hongji also considered Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou cavalry, but he felt that it might not be big. The Fengzhou army mainly attacked Taiyuan or siege the city and attacked aid. Even if some troops headed south, it would not be possible. This is Jiang County, which has arrived.

It's southeast of the river.

However, Li Shuliang is the head coach. Since the head coach has decided, Liu Hongji can no longer object. He immediately passed the order: "The head coach has orders, camp on the spot!"

"The head coach has an order, camp on the spot!"

After a series of orders, the soldiers began to camp on the spot, set up a tent, surrounded the camp with more than 100,000 spears, and surrounded them with large chariots. Li Shuliang personally led his personal soldiers to inspect.

He did not let go of every detail of defense. If he followed his symmetry, it would be a camp gate. Unfortunately, the camp gate was difficult to carry, so he had to give up.

"Build ten sentry towers, and the Fen River in the south should also set up sentry towers to prevent the enemy from coming from the water."

"The grain warehouse camp must be outside the rocket's range!"

Li Shuliang was very careful and found five or six loopholes in a row and ordered the soldiers to rectify them. This time the 20,000 troops he led were Tang army jingrui, three thousand cavalry, and tens of thousands of infantry. All soldiers were equipped with Mingguang armor and standard spears.

And the horizontal sword, each soldier has a bow and arrow, and a round shield, even a war horse and a Turkic horse. This is also a good equipment for the Great Sui army. These 20,000 troops are almost all Guanlong soldiers, and they have strong combat power. Li Yuan

Although he cannot send out many troops, he can send out good troops.

The team camped in an orderly manner and the night was getting deeper and deeper. At a moment, a harsh jingle sound suddenly came from the mail tower, "Dang! Dang! Dang!"

In the quiet night, the jing news was particularly clear and could be heard several miles away. Li Shuliang was awakened from his dream. He jumped up and shouted, "What happened?"

A soldier rushed over and said, "Reporting to the commander, a large group of cavalry appeared in front of him."

"How many cavalry are there, and do you have armor?"

"Reporting to the commander, I can't see clearly in the dark night, between about 8,000 and 10,000 people, full of armor."

Li Shuliang was shocked. This was not a bandit, but only Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou cavalry. As expected, he expected that there was an ambush in front of him. He immediately ordered, "Order the soldiers to prepare for war and transfer five thousand crossbows to suppress the military camp!

”

Teams of crossbowmen rushed to the east of the military camp, arched their bows and arrows, and were ready to fight. Liu Hongji was extremely nervous. The other side had nearly 10,000 cavalry, while they only had 20,000 troops, most of them were infantry, nearly 20,000.

Infantry fights ten thousand cavalry, this will be an extremely arduous battle.

However, Liu Hongji was also secretly glad that the cautiousness of the head coach Li Shuliang allowed them to avoid being attacked by the Fengzhou army and escaped a disaster. This gave him some confidence. There were still 5,000 troops in Zhengping County, if they could come, they could come.

Support, this battle will not be defeated by defeating the opponent, at least it will not be defeated.

Liu Hongji held a hard bow in his hand and urged his horse to run towards the gate of the camp.

Just hundreds of steps away from the Tang army camp, Yang Yuanqing led 10,000 Fengzhou Sui army to line up. He led his army to run all the way, and finally intercepted the opponent before entering Zhengping City. They were not in a hurry to launch an attack.

Rest before dawn to restore the physical strength of soldiers and war horses.

Yang Yuanqing looked at the enemy camp from afar. He observed the enemy's chief general's xing pattern from some details. From the distribution of the opponent's whistle towers, he could infer that the opponent was an extremely cautious person. If it were him, he would

Six sentry towers were built, one in each corner and one in front and rear camp gates, but the other party built ten, and Li Shuliang wanted to eliminate all blind spots.

At this time, a scout was running to report: "Report to the general manager, we observe the enemy camp, the opponent camp is impeccable, and the rockets can't see their camp. There are spears all around, and the grass is covered with caltrops.

, we can't get close to it."

Yang Yuanqing sneered, and indeed, as he expected, Li Shuliang was too cautious, 'The water was clear, there was no fish, and the person was cautious, there was no wisdom'. This is a famous saying, he wanted to make Li Shuliang defeat him for his cautiousness.

.

"Tell me my order, and the army retreated twenty miles north!"

Ten thousand cavalry turned their horses and galloped northward, and disappeared in the deep night se for a moment.
