In the Ziwei Pavilion in Taiyuan, General Wei Ben, the inner guard general, showed the guards a gold medal on the mountain. The guards dodged to both sides, and Wei Ben quickly walked into Ziwei Pavilion.

Yang Yuanqing awarded three gold medals and gave three people he thought were the most important. Without reporting, he could go directly to Ziwei Pavilion to find him. One was Yang Sien, who followed the longest general and the person he trusted the most. Give him a side.

Seeing the gold medal is more of a kind of honor

One is his wife Pei Minqiu. He knows that his wife will not come to him easily, but once she comes to him, it will definitely be an extremely important matter, and she does not need to wait for the notification.

Another one is Wei Ben, the Inner Guard General. His importance lies in his position. Information halls in all parts of the world are controlled by him, and he is directly responsible to himself.

Wei Ben walked all the way, went up to the third floor, and came to Yang Yuanqing's official room. Here he had to wait. A guard went in and reported. The guard came out for a moment, "Master, please go in!"

Wei Ben walked directly into Yang Yuanqing's official room. At this time, Yang Yuanqing was standing in front of the sand table, thinking about his battle in Hebei. Although he also wanted to take advantage of the east wind of capturing Shanggu County to attack Youzhou immediately and take it down before the New Year.

Zhuo County, this is his expectation, but Yang Yuanqing also knew that if he did this, he would not be able to take over Youzhou City, and he would not be fully prepared for the most basic siege weapons, not to mention that he would have to face Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao.

Luo Yi is not Wei Daoer, who has strong command ability and a sharp Youzhou heavy cavalry. If he attacks rashly, the Sui army will probably fail.

He needs to mobilize a large army, prepare food and supplies, and at the same time arrange the defense of the south to prevent Dou Jiande from attacking Hedong from the Kujin Pass. All these arrangements take time. He must follow the plan, although everyone knows his plan, next spring

Attack Hebei, but this is war. From his deployment of troops and war preparations, he could not hide it from anyone.

But he can flexibly use it in tactical ways. For example, this surprise attack on Shanggu County was beyond everyone's expectations. He achieved a beautiful start. He could also use more strategies, strategies other than war, such as Luo, for example, Luo

Many of the lower generals of the art masters were his former generals, such as psychological warfare, utilization of the aristocratic family, etc.

Just as Yang Yuanqing was thinking, Wei Ben walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee to report, "Report to the general manager, Youzhou has emergency information."

"explain!"

"A spy discovered Dou Jiande's plot against Song Zhengben in Luo Yi Mansion."

"Shigo!"

Yang Yuanqing was surprised. He suddenly realized that what he was most worried about might happen. Dou Jiande and Luo Yi were likely to be united. There was also a Gao Kaidao. If the three of them joined forces, Hebei would become a whole, and

To deal with the Sui army as a whole, it is like the alliance and alliance in the Warring States Period, and the eastern countries united to deal with the Qin army advancing eastward.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing also thought of this possibility, but he felt that it was not very likely. Dou Jiande and the Youzhou army had too deep hatred. Even if Luo Yi wanted to join forces, his subordinates might not be willing to do it. Xue Shixiong died at Dou Jiande's hands. His two

His son Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are now the main leading general of the Youzhou Army. Luo Yi and Dou Jiande joined forces, so how can they explain it to them?

At the beginning, Luo Yi was willing to avenge Xue Shixiong and received the support of the Youzhou Army. In just over a year, did Luo Yi dare to betray the Youzhou Army soldiers who supported him?

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time and asked, "Has Song Zhengben left?"

"This information is not said, it is only said that Song Zhengben did not leave late at night after entering the mansion."

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps behind his back. It should not be the first time Song Zhengben has been here. He can stay in Luo Yi's Mansion for a long time, which means that Dou Jiande and Luo Yi are likely to reach a joint venture. If so, Song Zhengben

There should be some details to discuss with Luo Yi, and it should not be possible for a while...

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing turned around and made a quick decision at Wei Ben and said, "Appoint Luo Shanwen and others to keep an eye on Song Zhengben. If Song Zhengben has not left yet, ask them to contact General Qin immediately. Be sure to intercept Song Zhengben for me. Whether it is a great contribution."

If you can take this opportunity to kill Dou Jiande's planner, this is a good place to go

Hengshan County, a large-scale escape tide occurred in Hengshan County. Dozens of eloquent Sui soldiers were sent to Hengshan County. They painted a paradise-like picture of life to the people of Hengshan County.

, causing the hungry people who are pure and longing for a better life to go crazy.

In the wilderness outside Fangshan County, thousands of yellow-faced and thin women and children and old men were surrounding a dry tree, tilting their heads and listening. On the big tree was a young Sui soldier, with his voice loud and loud

Clear, the wind spreads far.

"Dear fellow villagers, I have not deceived everyone. This year, Hedong has a bumper harvest. Every household's grain garrison is full of golden rice, and the corners of the wall are filled with bundles of cloth. Because they have their own land, Ding Nan has fifty

Acres of fertile land, and Ding has twenty acres of mulberry and hemp fields. They don’t have to pay rent. They only need to pay five liters of tax per mulberry and a piece of cloth and a bunch of silk. The rest are their own, and there are no green seedlings.

Money, no head tax, everyone can have enough food, everyone has a few new clothes, children can go to school, a large number of young and strong people are at home to accompany their wives, children and parents, and they don’t have to join the army to fight. These are all real

Yes, you are not far from you. If you cross the Taihang Mountains, you can also enjoy such a life.

The propaganda of Sui soldiers was extremely tempting. Many women couldn't help crying when they looked at their torn dresses and hugged their thin children. An old man raised his arms and shouted: "Can we go?"

"You can go, the New Year is coming soon. You can have enough food and meat. The children can wear new clothes. You can go from Jingxing. As long as you pass Tumen Pass, you can eat hot Tengteng.

White flour cakes can be worn on thick clothes…”

"But my husband is still in Zhending's army. We are leaving, what should he do?" a woman holding the child mustered up the courage to ask loudly.

"Do you know why your husbands and your sons can't leave? They don't want to work hard for Wei Daoer, they want to leave, but because you are here, they dare not leave. As long as you leave, they have no worries.

I will escape to reunite with you soon!”

The people were excited. The survival of the people and their yearning for a better life made them forget their fear. They were extremely excited. An old man raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go to Jingxing and Hedong!"

"Go to Hedong! Go to Hedong!"

Thousands of women, children and elderly people turned around and headed towards Tumenguan.

This situation also happened in Hengshan County. People who were hungry and cold rushed to Tumen Pass from all directions, while people from Xingtang County and Ziyang County in the north turned north and walked towards Shanggu County over Boling County.

These exploited and oppressed people are kind and cowardly. They dare not resist even when they are on the verge of death. They live in despair. But once someone lets them see hope and someone encourages them to stand up and fight, then, they will do so.

Survival, for children, their courage will burst out and they will flee to the other side of their new life regardless of everything, and no force can suppress them.

Their anger and expectation were like a dammed lake hanging high above their heads. Wei Daoer's force control was like a huge rock that blocked the lake water. The lake water accumulated more and more. After the huge rock in Shanggu County was moved,

The dam lake finally poured into a thousand miles. The tide of escape in Hengshan County was like a snowball, becoming more and more powerful, and finally inevitably affected the army.

The first ones affected were soldiers from Shanggu County. They started to escape on a small scale. With the news that Shanggu County began to divide the fields, more and more soldiers fled. Now, following the tide of people's escape, the number of soldiers from Shanggu County was born on a small scale.

The soldiers also began to flee on a large scale.

In the royal palace of Zhending County, the news from Tumen Pass made Wei Daoer furious. Even the three thousand defenders of Tumen Pass fled. Tumen Pass had become an unprepared pass.

Wei Daoer whipped the general Sun Shide with a fierce whip. The guard of Tumen Pass was his nephew, and the three thousand soldiers were also his subordinates.

"Babe! Why are you giving me a free explanation?"

Wei Daoer was so angry that he was going crazy. Although he hated these old, weak, women and children, consuming his military rations, and wished they all died, but when the people of Hengshan County fled on a large scale, he realized the seriousness of the problem and disappeared.

These elderly, weak, women and children are hostages, and their army will repeat the mistakes of the Shanggu County army and escape and collapse in full swing.

Wei Daoer grabbed his neck and yelled: "I trust you so I handed over Tumen Pass to you. Now that Tumen Pass is lost, what do you want me to do?"

Sun Shide said that he was Wei Daoer's father-in-law. One of his daughters was Wei Daoer's concubine, but Wei Daoer whipped more than a dozen times without any face. He was extremely hated and shouted fiercely: "I will lead myself."

When the army goes to Tumen Pass, I will kill anyone who dares to escape!"

Wei Daoer pushed him away and ordered, "Go quickly, if you can't stop the escape tide, come and see me!"

Wei Daoer has lost his mind by the surging escape tide. He now has only one idea to block this massive tide of escape at all costs. As for whether it can be blocked, he doesn't know.

"Transfer my order. Those who dare to flee will be beheaded on the spot and will be severely punished!"

Tumen Pass, this is the entrance to Hebei of Jingxing, about 100 miles from Zhending County. It is located on the edge of the towering Taihang Mountain and blocks the entrance to Jingxing. It is located between the Hanluo Mountain and Baodu Mountain. The terrain is dangerous and it is a

A strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, Tumen Pass had been controlled by 5,000 Sui troops. Luo Shixin stood at the top of the city and looked out at the situation outside the pass. Tens of thousands of refugees who fled from all over Hengshan County had gathered outside the pass, helping the elderly and the young, with the team mixed with the team.

Many fleeing soldiers, their lineup was passing through the pass in an orderly manner under the command of Sui soldiers.

In fact, most of the refugees were concentrated in Jingxing and received disaster relief from the Sui army. The Sui army did not intend to send them to Hedong counties to resettlement. On the one hand, many elderly people and women and children were exhausted and rushed to Tumen Pass was at the end of their strength.

It is difficult to have the energy to pass through Jingxing again. On the other hand, Wei Daoer's regime is already difficult to maintain and will soon collapse. Once the Sui army occupy Hengshan County, these refugees will still have to return to their homes.

At this time, a cavalry rushed to the distance, "General Luo!"
Chapter completed!
