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

Chapter 58 A different plan, another battle against the Turks

Hearing Liu Bowen's inquiry, Gao Qidang even told the ins and outs of Li Shimin sending an envoy to tell that the Western Turks were preparing for war and preparing to attack again.

"What do you think sir?" After finishing speaking, Gao Qi asked expectantly.

After hearing this, Liu Bowen did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated for a while.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "The Turkic people have suffered heavy losses in this battle, and their vitality has been greatly injured. It stands to reason that they should rest and recuperate."

"But the Turkic army is preparing for war and is preparing to invade the frontier again. Yiwen speculates that Temujin has three reasons for sending troops this time."

"I just don't know which three?" Seeing Liu Bowen pointing to three, Gao Qi couldn't help asking.

"The first solution is that Temujin has just usurped power and seized the throne. His foundation is unstable and his prestige is insufficient, so he wants to send troops in a hurry and wants to capture the northern border to enhance his own prestige."

"And the second is that Temujin once again formed an alliance with Wanyan Aguda in private, agreeing to jointly invade our eastern and western borders, so as to achieve the goal of not being able to care about each other."

"The third is that Temujin prepares his army for war, in the name of attacking our army, but in fact the front of the army is directed at the Xianbei people on the Mobei Plateau."

For a moment, Liu Bowen's eloquent words were like a bright light, pointing out the direction for Gao Qi as if in the dark.

Gao Qi couldn't help thinking inwardly: "Is this Liu Ji who assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in unifying the world? This resourcefulness is unpredictable, and Temujin's plan can be deduced in just a few words."

Just when Gao Qi was sighing, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Tick, Liu Bowen's skill is detected, and the owner of this skill will have a certain guess about what will happen in the future, so as to make a corresponding judgment.

Effect [-]: Liu Bowen is proficient in arithmetic and psychology, and can grasp the psychology of others in a certain space.

"This... this emotion is a skill created to predict unknown things, and the fortune telling is really true."

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help sighing inwardly.

"Haha!" Immediately, Gao Qi couldn't help laughing, and praised: "Sir, you are worthy of being a rare genius, you can analyze Temu's true nature so thoroughly from thousands of miles away."

Hearing Gao Qi's praise, Liu Bowen's expression remained calm, and he said modestly: "The general is so warm!"

After affirming Liu Bowen's analysis, Gao Qi didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately sent several waves of spies out to find out the real situation.

At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Li Shimin of Xihe County, telling him to pay attention to the movements of the Hu people, and not to underestimate the enemy!
…………

In the past seven or eight days, the scouts sent by Gao Qi to investigate finally returned.

"General... General, the barbarians outside the Great Wall... set up defenses everywhere. In order to cover my return safely, dozens of brothers reported the information they spied on to the general. They all died heroically."

Just to say, a blood-stained scout walked in quickly to report.

"What, what's going on here? What happened in the grassland outside the Great Wall?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but tense up, and asked hurriedly.

"The barbarian...general...big..." However, the scout died suddenly after speaking halfway.

For a moment, everyone in the mansion was filled with compassion.

After a long time, Gao Qi stood up and said slowly: "Zilong, Shigui, how is the cavalry training, can we go to war?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun stepped forward first, and solemnly said with a resolute face: "General, don't worry! Feiying is ready to join the battle at any time."

"Falcon riders can also participate in the battle." Not to be outdone, Zhang Shigui also clasped his hands to fight.

"Okay, this time I will lead the Flying Eagle and Falcon Riders under his command, as well as the White-Eared Cavalry of the Guard Legion, a total of [-] cavalry, and go deep outside the Great Wall again to find out!"

Just to say, as soon as Gao Qi said this, he was severely rejected by the generals, and they all persuaded Gao Qi, as the leader of an army, not to act rashly.

Moreover, the current leader of the barbarians is no longer Shibi and Danai, but the real grassland lions Temujin and Wanyan Aguda.

Afterwards, Gao Qi raised his hand and shouted: "This time the barbarians plan to fly, I will go deep into the outside of the Great Wall twice, there is no one present, no one is more familiar with the terrain than this general."

"As the saying goes: If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Even if you know it's a trap this time, you will have to go for it."

I saw that after Gao Qi finished speaking, he stood quietly above, with a very decisive attitude.

Those who are familiar with Gao Qi's character know that Gao Qi has already made up his mind and it is impossible to persuade him to return.

After a long time, Liu Bowen stood up, walked to Gao Qi, and said: "If the general insists on going out, please remember Wen's witty words."

"If you meet a small tribe, run away, if you meet a small team, hide, otherwise, attack them fiercely, and the general must keep in touch with us at all times."

After a long silence, Gao Qi solemnly uttered a word.

"it is good!"

…………

Two days later, Gao Qi gathered [-] cavalry and drove out of Yanmen Pass again, embarking on the journey out of the fortress.

Looking at the back of Yanmen Pass, Gao Qi couldn't help feeling deeply, and a poem suddenly came to his mind.

Cicadas sing in the empty mulberry forest, Xiao Guan said in August.

Out of the fortress and back into the fortress, there are yellow reeds everywhere.

It has always been quiet and guests, all of them are old on the battlefield.

Don't learn from knight-errants, but boast that Zi Liu is good.

In the blink of an eye, another piece of song by Wang Changling, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was plagiarized.

"Okay, okay! General Hussars is mighty."

I saw that the iron cavalry behind Gao Qi included Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Shigui and other fierce generals.

After hearing the poems written by Gao Qi, they immediately burst into cheers.

The sound that was transmitted to the sky seemed to break through the sky.

…………

"Hey! My lord is still too young, full of vigor, and impulsive in doing things!"

On Yanmenguan City, Fazheng watched Gao Qi's back gradually go away from a distance, and sighed silently.

"It's okay. After all, you are still young. Maybe you will grow faster in the future if you experience more things?"

After hearing this, Liu Bowen on the side couldn't help explaining the Fazheng on the side.

Hearing this, Fazheng said in a low-level voice: "I hope!"

In just a few days, Gao Qi led [-] cavalry into hundreds of miles outside the Great Wall, annihilating several large tribes and confiscating countless meat on the way.

It can be said that the supplies are sufficient, but the more he gallops on the grassland, the more uneasy Gao Qi feels.

Because since the raid during this period, although Gao Qi has successfully wiped out several large tribes on the grassland, he has not encountered a single Turkic cavalry.

This can't help but make Gao Qi vigilant. He is facing the famous Genghis Khan Temujin who founded the Mongol Empire in history.

With Temujin's heart, would he really let him gallop on the grassland like this without being indifferent?

"conspiracy?"

Suddenly, a flash of understanding flashed in Gao Qi's heart, but just to be on the safe side, he immediately waved his hand to signal the army to stop.

Then he took the map from Zhao Yun and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, Gao Qi suddenly thought of the year name, and inexplicably thought of a person in his mind.

For a moment, Gao Qi was startled and lost his usual composure.
