The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 416 Temujin, We Meet Again
A few days later, the decisive battle between Wushen Banners finally came to an end.

The Sui and Turkic armies finally settled in a draw, and each confronted each other again.

In the Sui army camp, a grand funeral is being held at this time, and the backer king Yang Lin is buried.

Because Yang Lin had a high prestige in the Sui army and was extremely popular among the soldiers, so at this time the sound of wailing resounded in the Sui camp, and all the soldiers of the army wore mourning hemp to pay homage to Yang Lin.

However, because Temujin continued to garrison the Wushen Banner and watched it covetously, the Sui army did not let down its vigilance.

As for the interim coach of the Sui Army at this time, it was Li Jing, the famous military god of the Tang Dynasty in history.

In this battle, Temujin's original plan was to use the sharpshooter Jebe to shoot and kill Yang Lin by surprise, so as to win the final victory.

It's a pity that Temujin didn't know that there was such a powerful figure as Li Jing in the army, and he was able to counterattack in such an embarrassing situation.

In the end, the Turkic army fell short of success, but ended in a draw and continued to confront each other.

Originally, Temujin was going to let Jebe continue to shoot and kill Li Jing, but the appearance of Lu Bu at the critical moment blocked the attack.

It should be noted that not only has Lu Bu's martial arts reached the level of a junior warrior, but his archery skills should not be underestimated!
Due to Yang Lin's death in battle, the army cannot be without generals for a day, so in view of Li Jing's outstanding performance this time, his excellent overall planning and adaptability.

Therefore, in the end, the generals headed by Ding Yanping unanimously recommended Li Jing to act as the temporary coach, commanding the three armies to fight against the Turks.

In fact, the reason why Ding Yanping firmly recommended Li Jing was not entirely due to Li Jing's performance this time, but also due to his uncle.

As we all know, Li Jing's uncle was Han Qinhu, a great general in the early Sui Dynasty. Back then, Ding Yanping, Yang Lin, and Han Qinhu were still good friends who talked about everything.

For his "nephew" Li Jing, Ding Yanping still has a certain confidence in his heart, plus Li Jing's performance this time.

Only then did Ding Yanping unanimously affirm that Li Jingding was qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Jiuyuan City, the Imperial Palace
At this time, the shadow guard Zhan Zhao was alone, reporting to Gao Qi sitting on the dragon about the decisive battle between the Sui and Turkic armies.

In fact, Gao Qi didn't care too much about the fact that he was in the dragon seat before he became emperor. After all, Gao Qi had conquered half of the south of the Yangtze River, and he would definitely become emperor in the future.

Therefore, why do you want to be a hypocrite now, pretending not to sit on the dragon?

Gao Qiqi's personality is eclectic, magnanimous, and a real villain who speaks one thing. What he dislikes the most is the fake villain who behaves in public and secretly.

Moreover, the Jiuyuan Palace was built by Dong Zhuo wantonly expropriating the people in the county, laboring the people and wasting money. As everyone knows, how many bones of loyal and righteous soldiers are buried under this Wei Wei palace?

For his own ambitions and for his own enjoyment, Dong Zhuo was extravagant and wantonly abused the people.

Therefore, since the construction of this palace has caused the common people to live in poverty, why can't Gao Qi enjoy it with peace of mind after defeating the brutal Dong Mowang?
Not only that, except for Zhan Zhao, there was no one in the hall at this time.

In fact, this is also related to Zhan Zhao's identity. After all, the shadow is a dark force, and it can't be on the stage.

Moreover, Shadow not only has the task of spying on intelligence and assassination, but also has the power to monitor civil and military affairs within the country.

Therefore, on certain occasions, Gao Qi would almost choose to summon the shadow members alone.

Based on the civil and military affairs of the Qi State, they have almost a half-knowledge about the shadow members, only knowing that the shadows come and go without a trace, and there is no doubt that they are ghosts.

However, apart from Jia Xu in the civil and military circles, no one knows that the shadow is secretly monitoring the officials.

For a while, Zhan Zhao revealed the whole process of the decisive battle between the Turkic and Sui armies respectively!

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but wryly smiled, and secretly said: "I didn't expect that it was Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, who conspired against the Turks this time."

Immediately, Gao Qi knew that Li Jing's guess about the plan to conspire against the Turks was pretty close.

From the beginning of Lu Bu's army, an unknown middle-aged man persuaded Lu Bu to stand on his own, betrayed Dong Zhuo, and took the opportunity to join the Sui army to attack the Turks.

Later, with Lv Bu's self-reliance, Temujin will definitely send envoys to accuse Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo will become angry and send troops to attack Lv Bu.

At this time, let Hong Fu Nu go to find the main force of the Qi army, tell Gao Qi the news of Jiuyuan's emptiness, and seize it quickly!
Immediately afterwards, the most critical part was to allow the Qi army to attack Tuoketuo lightly, cut off the connection between the Turks and their logistical supplies.

This plan can be described as extremely delicate, and the plans are linked together without any flaws.

It is conceivable that after the defeat of the Turks this time, Li Jing's prestige will rise impressively and be known to the world.

However, Gao Qi was relieved when he recalled that Li Jing once led an army to destroy the mighty Turks in history.

For the decisive battle between the Turks and the Sui army, Gao Qi focused on it.

Judging from the current situation, apart from a slight accident in the decisive battle that resulted in Yang Lin's death, the results of the battle are relatively optimistic.

Moreover, in the direction of Tuoketuo now, with the hard work of Gao Siji, Zhao Yun and others, and the tacit cooperation, they also successfully resisted the Turkic front and supported the arrival of Zhang Liao's reinforcements.

Today, the situation in Tuoketuo has stabilized, and the Turkic general Chi Laowen is firmly locked under his city, and he cannot move!

It is expected that as long as there are no accidents, it is common sense for the Turks to lose out of the grassland after a certain period of time.

…………

Two days later, an urgent battle report from Wushen Banner broke the tranquility of Jiuyuan in an instant.

After a quick look, Gao Qi was furious and immediately tore the battle report to pieces.

Immediately, Pei Ju couldn't help but walked forward with small steps, cupped his hands and asked slowly: "King Qi, I don't know what caused you to be angry?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi was still angry, calmed down a little, and explained the content of his battle report.

It turned out that in the battle report it was Dong Ping who led the people to rely on Temujin and was willing to serve as his eagle dog.

Due to Dong Ping's refuge, the strength between the Sui army and the Turks was instantly separated!

At that time, Temujin made a decisive decision and immediately led the whole army to attack the Sui army. At this time, Li Jing was in charge, and the situation gradually became critical.

The most deadly thing is that with the attachment of Dong Ping leading the crowd, he immediately made up for the weakness of the Turks who are not good at attacking fortifications!

Immediately, Gao Qi also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately summoned all the generals in the army to discuss the matter of going south to support.

After all, if Temujin defeated the Sui army this time and captured the Hetao area on the front line of Shuofang.

At that time, even if the Qi army can firmly control Wuyuan County, it will not help, and Temujin will be able to completely take the initiative by then.

Considering the importance of the Hetao area, the purpose of going south this time is self-evident and inevitable.

After some discussions, Gao Qi finally finalized the matter of going south to help with the ministers.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi personally led the pace and rode [-] soldiers and horses, and led the army southward.

As for the defense of Wuyuan, Gao Qi ordered Pei Ju to lead [-] people to defend the place.

The reason why Pei Ju was appointed as the main general was because Pei Ju was not only outstanding in resourcefulness, but also reached first-class level in overall planning ability.

The most important thing is that Pei Ju led the army to manage the Western Regions in his early years, and dealt with barbarians for many years.

Wuyuan is the barrier between the grassland outside the Great Wall and the inland land. Its transportation is convenient, the environment is intricate, and Han and Hu are common in the territory.

At this time, sticking to this place is not just for the garrison, it is pure defense.

The key is to stabilize the place and properly handle the relationship between the Han people and the Hu people. This is the basis for firmly controlling the Wuyuan.

…………

The army galloped twice, and its marching speed was not the same!

The Qi army was marching on the official road, and was galloping forward, because Gao Qi was worried about the situation of Wushen Banner.

Originally, the marching speed should be fifty or sixty miles, but now it has reached a hundred miles a day.

It has to be said that the potential is really stimulated.

Sui army camp
"Soldiers, the Hu bandits are rampant. They want to destroy our army, attack the prosperous Hetao area behind us, and poison the people."

"You said, can we agree?"

"No, no!"

It is only said that outside the camp of the Sui army at this time, the Turkic army is attacking fiercely.

The Sui army seemed to be unable to resist, so Li Jing could not help but make a decisive decision. He climbed to the front of the camp wall, took out the sword around his waist, and encouraged the whole army with words.

Seeing the morale of the army slowly gather again, Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.

"Old general, have you sent a rescue soldier to Wuyuan to ask for help?"

For a moment, Li Jing couldn't help looking at the veteran Ding Yanping, who was leading the way and wanted blood all over his body.

At this time, Ding Yanping brandished his two guns, like a strong dragon coming out of the water, and killed all the enemies who climbed the wall of the camp to the bottom of the wall.

With the exquisite double guns, no one can break through its defense and assassinate in close quarters.

Slowly assassinated the two enemy soldiers, turned around and said slowly: "Pharmacist, don't worry, General Yansi has already broken through the encirclement with his bravery."

"According to its itinerary, it should have arrived in Wuyuan."

It turned out that since Li Jing found out the news that Dong Ping led the army to surrender to the Turks, Li Jing knew that Temujin would not give up this golden opportunity, and would attack his side aggressively.

Moreover, it is very clear that the weakness of the Turkic offensive capabilities will be resolved with the compensation of the Liang army.

At that time, the battle between the two armies will be extremely difficult, so Li Jing ordered Yang Yansi to break out of the encirclement and rush to Jiuyuan before the Turks attacked with all their strength, and asked the Qi army for reinforcements.

Immediately, the flames of war raged and spread to the surrounding area again, and the tragic battle continued brazenly.

…………

The land of Shu, the land of Bashu in the past, has now been divided into four parts. The counties in the north of Bashu to the Qinling Mountains are divided separately, and they are under the unified jurisdiction of Hanchuan.

As for the quintessential central region of Bashu, with Chengdu as the head, it is divided into Shuzhou.

As for the Berkshires and Badong Counties to the east, they are also divided into Bazhou.

The counties and counties in the south are directly independent and under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, named Qianzhou.

Qianzhou has been the habitat of the southern barbarians in Sichuan since ancient times. There are many mountains, dense roads and complex environment, and the folk customs here are strong.

Local management is a headache for those in power, and it is extremely difficult for the places they rule.

When Gao Qi pacified Bashu and divided Qianzhou, he appointed general Sun Kewang to garrison here.

On the one hand, stick to this place, gradually develop this place, and try our best to boost the economy of Qianzhou.

On the other hand, it is not uncommon to deter the barbarians in the territory with a powerful front, so that they dare not act rashly!

Gao Qi came from later generations, but he knew that Qianzhou of later generations had great potential for development. As long as he wanted to develop, it would not be a problem to get rich economically.

However, Gao Qi first issued a decree to build new water conservancy projects, repair and expand roads in Qianzhou.

After all, there is a saying that goes well: If you want to be rich, build roads first!

This sentence is a wise saying. After all, if the transportation is not convenient, how can you get rich?

Why has the land of Bashu been the domain of kings and hegemons since ancient times?

The most critical reason is its unique geographical location. The northern region has the natural danger of the Qinling Mountains, which blocks invading enemies.

To the east, there are also large and small tributaries such as the Yangtze River and Qingjiang River converging together to form a solid line of defense to firmly block the enemy.

Therefore, generally as long as one can secure a firm foothold in Shu, being king and hegemony is not a problem at all.

However, the disadvantage of the Shu land is also very obvious, that is, it is suitable for separatist rule, but it is not suitable for dominating the Central Plains and seizing the world.

Because the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains and the Yangtze River have the advantage of blocking the enemy's army, but they also block our own army.

As long as the enemy army can set up heavy troops at the exit of the natural danger, it will be equally difficult for the army in central Shu to fight out!
In the same way, if you want to develop the economy of Qianzhou, you must first improve the transportation and make it convenient, so that it will attract many business teams and drive the local economic development.

Moreover, in order to encourage the economic rise of Qianzhou, Gao Qi spared no effort to develop business here.

Not only that, the most important thing for Gao Qi is to unite the business teams of the major families to form an industrial chain, and transport the traded goods to Qianzhou for sale and exchange.

With Gao Qi's decree issued, how could Sun Kewang not obey?

Therefore, Sun Kewang immediately began to call on the people to repair the road, so as to restore the smooth flow of traffic.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Just as the road was in full swing, there was a new movement in the Nanman who had been silent for several years.

Meng Huo, king of the southern barbarians, gathered nearly [-] barbarians, took the opportunity to seize the remote Yunnan county, and ruled one side separately.

Meng Huo, when Yue Fei led the army northward, was defeated by his plan and had to retreat to the mountains.

A few years later, Meng Huo never expected that Meng Huo would have such great prestige and be able to gather hundreds of thousands of people!
After hearing the information, Sun Kewang couldn't help feeling extremely troubled, and immediately put aside road repairs, and began to deal with the plan of how to counter the rebellion.

…………

Just to say, when the riots broke out in Qianzhou, Yang Yansi, who was asking for help at this time, also met the Qi army galloping southward on the way.

Immediately afterwards, the Qi army galloped day and night, and finally arrived at the Sui army camp.

All of a sudden, Gao Qi made a decisive decision and led the army to station on the flanks of the Sui army, acting like horns!
Immediately, in order to avoid being attacked from the front and back, Temujin also suspended the attack.

At this time, Gao Qi rode out, stood up slowly, and roared: "Temujin, we meet again after a few years, how do you feel?"

Hearing Gao Qi's words, Temujin couldn't help but turn purple with anger, and then became extremely livid.

It must be known that a few years ago, Temujin suffered a disadvantage in Gao Qi's hands, and he could not take advantage of it at all.

Now, without knowing how far Gao Qi has grown, for the first time, a trace of fear flashed in Temujin's eyes!
