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

Chapter 426 Although the world is big, only lonely people can make the best use of their talents
Under the city of Hu Ning, the Tang army had arrived here at this time, and all the generals followed the instructions of Princess Pingyang, and began to cut down trees wantonly to build siege equipment.

At this time, Princess Pingyang was not in a hurry to attack the city, but instead set up camp and put on a look of being ready!

In fact, this is the cleverness of Princess Pingyang. Hu Ning City is located in the south of Li Tang, which is an important buffer zone for its border to resist the Tang army.

Therefore, this city can be said to have been built by Yang Lin during his lifetime, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources!
Therefore, knowing that siege is a low-level move, and with Li Mu's assistance, how could Princess Pingyang make such a low-level mistake and forcibly attack the city?

Obviously, without absolute certainty, Princess Pingyang is extremely unwilling to use the lives of her own soldiers to fill the city and make fearless sacrifices.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that although Princess Pingyang is not weak in her own ability, on the contrary she is quite proficient in the way of using soldiers, but she also has fatal weaknesses.

As a woman, her benevolent psychology cannot be completely wiped out no matter what, even if it is a female general in command, she must be completely cold-blooded and cruel, killing people without being indifferent!
Thinking about it carefully, this is also a fundamentally impossible thing, just like Princess Pingyang, who is worried about the heavy casualties of her own army, so she has been reluctant to launch an attack for a long time.

…………

Finally, after the fifth day, Ding Yanping finally handled the defensive affairs in Shuofang properly, and personally led the main force to support Hu Ning.

After arriving in the city and asking the guards in the city about Tang Jun's movements, he took a deep breath to show his nervousness!

During the march, Ding Yanping was almost always in fear, fearing that his defenders would not be able to withstand his pressure, and would eventually be captured before the arrival of reinforcements.
However, Ding Yanping's nervousness gradually calmed down when he heard that the Tang army had been stationed for several days but did not launch a siege.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Yanping ordered the sergeants to take over the city, and Empress Rui took turns arranging inspections of the city defense.

All of a sudden, with the arrival of the main force of the Sui army, the city of Hu Ning couldn't help but become more solid as a rock, as stable as Mount Tai!

After all, Ding Yanping is also a lifelong warrior at any rate, and his experience in battle is still quite rich.

…………

Tang Army camp, the main tent

At this time, squinting, I saw a tall and heroic female general sitting on top of the handsome guy.

This woman is today's Emperor Li Tang, Li Yuan's eldest daughter, Princess Pingyang.

As for the next No. [-] general, Li Mu is a well-deserved general of the clan.

For a while, Tang's army was also full of talented people.

Princess Pingyang was wearing a military uniform, and said slowly: "Everyone, now the sentry cavalry has found out that the main force of the Sui army has entered Hu Ning City to strengthen the city's defense."

"I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight!"

After some sighs, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but sighed, feeling uncertain.

It can be seen that compared with her younger brother Li Yuanji, Princess Pingyang's ability is not at the same level.

As we all know, women are generally careful, and it is easier for men to consider various possibilities when doing things!

This time, the battle against the Sui army was the first battle after Princess Pingyang went north, so she was extremely cautious.

After all, as the saying goes: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Only by thoroughly understanding the enemy and knowing yourself and the enemy can you find out its weaknesses and break them with strength!

Therefore, Princess Pingyang will be extremely cautious at this time, and must minimize all possibilities before using troops.

It's just that being too cautious can easily expose flaws, and the enemy will seize the opportunity and defeat it.

Therefore, for Li Mu, the commanding general, it was clear enough, so he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Princess, I have something to say at the end, I wonder if I can say it?"

Hearing this, seeing Li Mu cupping his hands and talking, he couldn't help asking: "I don't know what the third uncle thinks?"

Li Mu, the identity implanted in birth is Li Yuan's third brother, one of the important helmsmen of the family, and he loves several nephews and nieces very much since he was a child.

Moreover, Li Mu loves Princess Pingyang very much, who is smart and smart since she was a child, and can quickly draw inferences from one instance to another.

Therefore, Princess Pingyang also respects her clan uncle very much, and will not exceed her courtesy!

Following Princess Pingyang's questioning, Li Mu was no longer hiding anything, but after thinking about it, he slowly revealed everything.

In fact, what Li Mu offered was how to defeat the Sui army, enter the hinterland of Shuofang, approach the northern border, and firmly stand in the northern border, so as to consolidate the defense line in the northern part of Bingzhou.

It should be noted that Taiyuan in Bingzhou is a basin. If there are no northern counties as a buffer, the enemy will attack forcibly.

It is not difficult to imagine that Li Tang's rule in Taiyuan will also be in jeopardy if he is allowed to enter the Taiyuan Basin!

Therefore, Princess Pingyang accepted the emperor's order to go north. In addition to succeeding Li Yuanji and guarding the north, the biggest task was to seize the opportunity to seize the northern counties and consolidate Bingzhou and Hedong.

Therefore, after Qi sent envoys to arrive, the two parties had a secret conversation and agreed on their common interests, and Princess Pingyang agreed decisively.

Together with the Qi army, together they plot against the Sui army and wipe out Ding Yanping in one fell swoop!
In fact, this is the real theory of interests. As long as the two sides unite to meet what they need, it is the most normal thing to abandon the alliance and attack each other.

The strategy offered by Li Mu is actually very obvious. It is easy to see that since the Tang army has not really launched an attack against it in recent days, the outcome of the two armies is still unknown.

However, Li Mu let Princess Pingyang continue to stand by, and confronted her for no reason!

The reason for doing this is very obvious, it is to confuse Ding Yanping, let him think that the soldiers of the Tang army are not powerful enough, and they dare not attack the city with them.

After all, it was a taboo for women to lead the army in ancient times. If Princess Pingyang tempted her a little, the Sui army would definitely choose to lead the army and challenge the Tang army.

It is conceivable that once the field battle starts, the real outcome will be uncertain!

…………

A few days later, a battle report came out, which showed that the Sui army was defeated and Hu Ning had fallen.

The Tang army has now entered Hu Ning City, and then went all the way south, from south to north, and almost all the places in Shuofang were taken by them.

For a while, half of the county in Shuofang was reduced to the territory under the rule of the Tang army.

At this time, Ding Yanping, who suffered a great defeat, did not dare to neglect at all, and led the remnant army to flee back in a hurry.

However, Ding Yanping did not flee to the Shuofang Camp, but ran straight to the Yanmen Yin Pavilion.

After all, there is already a gap between the Sui army and the Qi army, the key is that Ding Yanping has been wary of Gao Qi.

Returning directly to the camp this time, I am afraid that I am throwing myself into a trap, and I will never return!

After experiencing a big defeat, Ding Yanping can be said to have seen through and understood all of this.

The Tang army has not sent troops for a long time, why did they raise troops to attack without warning?
Therefore, almost instantly, Ding Yanping thought of Gao Qi. It must be because Gao Qi was plotting some kind of deal with him from the side, which led to the Tang army brazenly sending troops.

However, Ding Yanping's decision was finally correct this time.

At this time, as expected, it was learned that Ding Yanping had been severely injured and fled in a hurry.

Gao Qi made a decisive decision and chose to lead the army back to Shuofang. For a while, with Gao Qi's prestige, the soldiers and people from all over the place hardly resisted at all.

The Qi army went straight to Huanglong without bloodshed, and captured the northern counties of Shuofang.

In fact, when Gao Qi led the army to withdraw from Shuofang, he did not return to Wuyuan. Instead, he hid his whereabouts and ordered the shadow to assassinate the sentry of the Sui army.

Therefore, after Gao Qi received the news of Ding Yanping's defeat, he was able to respond to Shuofang as soon as possible.

However, it seems that if you really applied for that sentence, there is joy and sorrow!
Because, after the Qi army entered Shuofang, an urgent report also came out brazenly.

The Tang army actually moved forward secretly and marched into Wuyuan County, because the strength of the Qi army in Wuyuan County was relatively weak.

Therefore, the direction of the Tang army's troops was several cities in a row, and now Pei Ju had no choice but to shrink his troops and defend Jiuyuan to the death, waiting for reinforcements!

After reading the battle report slowly, Gao Qi lightly stroked the green beard growing on his chin, and whispered: "Hey, Tang Jun should not be underestimated!"

"It was just a little inattentive, and Tang Jun took advantage of the loophole."

Seeing Gao Qi's expression, it was obvious that Gao Qi didn't care about the news of Wuyuan's fall.

After all, if the super combination of Princess Pingyang and Li Mu can't achieve such a victory, it will be a real strange thing.

In fact, the main reason is that Gao Qi has no plans to stay in northern Xinjiang for a long time.

This time, Gao Qi joined forces with the Tang army to design the Sui army with the only goal of conquering Li Jing.

As long as Li Jing is brought under his command, Gao Qi will choose to lead the army northward, sweeping up the prefectures and counties of Youzhou with the momentum of thunder.

…………

The junction of Shuofang and Mayide is surrounded by mountains and there is only one road around.

At this time, there are many banners and banners in the mountains, hiding many barbarians in regular armor.

This is the leader Bai Qi who pretends to be a barbarian, and he is also skilled in pretending to be a barbarian.

Because after Wanyan Aguda founded the country, almost everything was imitating the Central Plains.

Whether it is its army, battle armor, or even customs, it is undergoing major reforms and Sinicization.

Therefore, over the past few years, although Jin people have not been completely Sinicized, at least some basic behaviors can still be consistent with it.

Therefore, if Qi Jun wants to hide his true thoughts, disguising Jin Jun is the clearest choice.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qi army were secretly hiding, waiting for the panicked Sui army to come.

After a long time, dust suddenly flew up at the end of the road, and the broken banner was approaching, fluttering in the wind.

For a moment, Bai Qi's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that this was the arrival of the Sui Remnant Army.

Immediately, Bai Qi cheered up, and immediately ordered: "The whole army obeys the order!"

"Everything is done as ordered!"

On the other hand, the Sui army, because Ding Yanping suffered heavy losses, was only concerned with fleeing hastily at this time, without paying attention to the surrounding terrain at all.

The further he went, the closer to Ding Yanping's death.

It's a pity that Ding Yanping is still completely self-aware of all this!

Seeing that the time came, Bai Qi immediately ordered the army to gallop out.

For a moment, the golden army wearing the golden army armor immediately gushed out like a spring.

Immediately, the unprepared Sui army was outflanked and isolated!
It seems that suddenly, Ding Yanping's fall is a foregone conclusion.

…………

Shuofang, county government

After entering the military mansion, a bad battle report came.

For a moment, Gao Qi was shocked suddenly, because Li Jing had already fled quickly, avoiding the Qi army.
