There are five counties in Yanmen County, namely Yanmen, Fanyu, Wutai, and Lingqiu County, with 42,520 households and a population of more than 210,000.

After the Turks' plunder, all the five counties and forty-one cities were slaughtered except for the destruction of Gan County.

Even in the battle of Yanmen, the Turks were repelled and 50,000 to 60,000 captured people were rescued, so the population of Yanmen was less than 100,000.

Therefore, the current Yanmen County and county governments have been temporarily moved to Gan County.

After the emperor returned to the Eastern Capital, the siege of Fenyang Palace was already spreading in the world.

The Turks, who had just surrendered, once again started a war against the Great Sui Dynasty. Although they were repelled, this time most people became increasingly unhappy about the situation in the Great Sui Dynasty.

After Li Chongjiu met with the county magistrate of Yanmen County, Wang Que and the county magistrate Chen Xiaoyi in Gan County, he met with the general Wang Zhibing of Wu Ben.

The twelve guards of the Sui army were each of which was one army, and the subordinates were fifty to seventy prefectures. Each guard had one general and two generals; four generals and six generals.

As the general of Wu Ben, Wang Zhibing is currently the highest military official in Taiyuan County.

So after Li Chongjiu met his boss immediately, he gave him a considerable meeting gift.

Wang Zhibing was not too negligent about the champion Hou who was personally awarded by the emperor. In addition, Li Chongjiu gave him a lot of money and was very close to Li Chongjiu at the moment.

I saw Wang Zhi looked like an elder, and after talking about Li Chongjiu with family, he talked about the current situation in Yanmen County.

As a border county, Yanmen County was originally very powerful in military power.

The following eight Yingyang Mansions must be used to use eight thousand soldiers, and there are 4,000 border troops and 2,000 foreign troops. There are also many self-established rural soldiers. Local tyrants also have their own troops to protect themselves. Everyone among the village tribes practices martial arts.

However, when the Turks arrived, these forces in Yanmen County were destroyed and hit.

Not only was the entire Yanmen County robbed by the Turks, but seven of the eight Yingyanglang generals were killed in battle among the government soldiers, and six Yingyalang generals were killed in battle, and almost all the government soldiers were destroyed.

As for the border army, there were only a little remnants, and the foreign army was even better. As soon as the Turks arrived, they all turned against each other.

Once the military force was gone, tens of thousands of people needed to be resettled, and the people from Yanmen County were in panic.

At present, according to the county magistrate's intention, the whole county is planning to give up the defense along the Great Wall and temporarily shrink its only troops to the vicinity of Gan County. Having said that, Wang Zhibing tactfully reminded that when Li Chongjiu was correct in the imperial preface, he should not boast about Haikou, saying that he should be Huo Qubing, and that he would like to enter the east early to enjoy wealth and honor.

The guarding of Yanmen is just a joke now. The Turks captured Yanmen and Hu cavalry again grazed south of the Yin Mountains. Not to mention the four border counties, Hebei was also under the range of the Turkish cavalry. However, Li Chongjiu's move to Wang Zhizhan could only be regarded as a move to sweep away the snow in front of the door, and abandon the Great Wall defense line. Is it really safe?

The Turks could only use Yanmen County as the breakthrough point for the Great Wall defense line, and invaded the south even more unscrupulously. As for other troops in the northern part of the Mo, they could also take the opportunity to hunt Caogu. At the same time, they also isolated the two counties of Mayi and Shuofang.

Later, Li Chongjiu told Wang Zhibian that he was preparing to build a Huaihuang Town.

When Wang Zhibing heard this, he looked at Li Chongjiu with a look of his death. After trying to keep him for a few words, he could only regard Li Chongjiu as a young man. He didn't know the world was so generous. Let him go.

After receiving Wang Zhibing's approval, Li Chongjiu took advantage of the situation to ask him for military food, money and rice.

When Li Chongjiu asked this, Wang Zhibing simply spread his hands and told him directly.

After receiving such an answer, Li Chongjiu was not discouraged. In the end, he forced three hundred Mingguang armors, one hundred pieces of equipment, twenty pieces of crossbows and fifty pieces of crossbows from the Arsenal of Dong County.

After achieving all this, Li Chongjiu was satisfied and prepared to take up his post in Huaihuang Town.

Of course, before leaving, Li Chongjiu returned to Yanmen County in the name of military camp, recruited 3,000 garrison people and sent them to Huaihuang Town.

For Li Chongjiu, the Eagle Yanglang General was just a cloud, and the Great Sui Dynasty was about to overturn, and even the first-rank official position was useless.

In troubled times, grabbing a squad is the bottom line.

This is also the reason why he did not follow Yang Guang to Dongdu to enjoy the glory and wealth of his own, but instead established his own power in the desolate Huaihuang Town.

This is his world.

The next day, there was a bustling scene below the restaurant in Dong County. The guards who were preparing to go to Huaihuang Town were in formation and preparing to set off.

In the restaurant here, Li Chongjiu, Li Hu, Su Su, and Sun Erniang said goodbye to Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan who came to see him off.

With Li Yuan's honor, he was able to see him off in person, giving Li Chong a 90% face. Li Hu was even more happy and felt a gleam on his face. Li Yuan raised his glass and said to Li Chong's ninety-nine, "I am young and promising. This move will be a success in Huaihuang Town. I am only at the edge of the country."

Li Chongjiu also smiled and said, "Where will I congratulate you first and be promoted to the residency of Taiyuan." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "The emperor and the ministers are still discussing this matter, but they are still not sure."

Although Li Yuan looked humble and indifferent, Li Chongjiu knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and he was sure to win the battle, regardless of the news from the officialdom or the prophets who traveled through the crowd.

The siege of Yanmen was a turning point in Li Yuan's political resurrection, which completely dispelled Yang Guang's suspicion about him.

Therefore, the important task of staying in Taiyuan was handed over to Li Yuan, and he had the power to supervise the military of the four counties of Mayi, Loufan, Yanmen and Taiyuan. However, Li Yuan would be the most powerful figure among the four counties in the border areas in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chongjiu told Li Yuan about the siege of Fenyang Palace in advance, so that he owed him a favor as his own political investment.

For Li Chongjiu's future rise to Huaihuang Town, if faced with the enemy from the grassland, Li Yuan was the only support Li Chongjiu could find.

Li Yuan obviously valued Li Chongjiu very much, and said, "Nephew, you stand outside the Great Wall and have a great intention to defend the border for the court. However, you shoot the Khan of Shibi and cut off the golden wolf crow, and cut off the face of the Turks. With Shibi's temper, you will definitely take revenge."

"I'll be careful at that time. If the 200,000 Turkic cavalry arrives, don't hesitate and withdraw immediately to Yanmen Pass. I will protect you here." Li Yuan said earnestly and warned Li Chongjiu very seriously. Seeing that Li Yuan treats him so well, Li Chongjiu could not help but be moved regardless of his true feelings.

Anyone who is superior has some means to win over others. He blindly wins over others with profit, but is just inferior. Therefore, both Li Yuan and Li Shimin have their own personal charm. When they interact with others, others can't help but feel sorry for it. Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, I will write it down."

Li Hu, Su Su, and Sun Erniang were all light when Li Yuan saw that he valued Li Chongjiu so much.
