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

Chapter 71 The Birth of Liao Taizu, the Triangle Formation in Northern Xinjiang

The sixth person who broke the list was Yelu Abaoji, the founder of the Liao Kingdom, with a commander of 97, military power of 93, intelligence of 92, politics of 91, and charisma of 97. He was born with several people, and was implanted as the leader of the Khitan tribe.

"Sh! The famous Liao Taizu, Yelu Abaoji, who was the first among the Hu people to learn how to be emperor in the Central Plains, was also born?"

"Hey! It seems that the situation in the grassland will become more complicated in the future!"

After hearing this, Gao Qi was surprised by the birth of Yelu Abaoji, and at the same time he sighed and spoke.

A few days later, under the governance of civil servants Zhong Yao and Liu Bowen, Yanmen finally got rid of the mood of war and restored the scene before the war.

At the same time, the good news written by Gao Qi also successfully arrived in Yang Guang's hands. After Yang Guang read it, his face suddenly became joyful.

Finally, under Yang Guang's careful consideration, the latest appointment was confirmed with a stroke of a pen.

"Because Li Shimin and Lu Bu cooperated tacitly this time, and led the army to support the Yanmen Army at the same time, it increased the chances of victory for Gao Qi to put down the rebellion."

In the end, Li Shimin was named General Zhengbei and continued to serve as the governor of Xihe County, while Lu Bu was also named Governor of Wuyuan County and General Pingbei.

At the same time, Yang Guang's edict specifically emphasized that Gao Qi, Li Shimin, and Lu Bu will form a triangular formation to jointly resist the attacks of the Hu people, and they can appoint and dismiss civil and military positions at their own discretion.

In the triangular formation, Gao Qi is the main one, Li Shimin and Lu Bu are the assistants, and the three can attack and cooperate with each other.

It can also be seen from this that Yang Guang has made up his mind in order to resist the attacks of the Hu people outside the Great Wall.

Generally speaking, with Yang Guang's suspicion, it is impossible for him to trust the three generals who are outside at the same time.

After getting the edict, Gao Qi also wondered for a moment, what prompted Yang Guang to make this decision?

…………

It is only said that after Liu Wuzhou was destroyed this time, Mayi's defense was emptied, and Yang Guang's appointment did not mention Mayi's appointment at all.

Therefore, Mayi City justifiably fell into Gao Qi's hands.

The first thing Gao Qi did next was to deal with the [-] prisoners of war captured this time.

Because Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Hu people this time and committed a rebellion without authorization, it has long caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers in the army.

Therefore, Gao Qi sent Liu Bowen into the prisoner-of-war camp to move him with emotion, reason, and deter him with force.

Under such a combination of grace and power, [-] prisoners of war soon expressed their surrender.

Under the same circumstances, the Yanmen Army reached a terrifying 7 horses.

However, Yanmen is located in the frontier, and the land of a county is not as rich as the Central Plains.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to support a [-] army with a single county of Yanmen. It can be said that this is simply impossible.

Finally, in the suggestions of Liu Bowen, Fazheng, Zhong Yao and the generals under his command.

Gao Qi acted decisively and selected the young and strong and ready-to-fight soldiers among the prisoners of war to be incorporated into his own team, while the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled were all sent back to the village for reclamation and farming.

After the final selection, [-] prisoners of war were scattered and joined various departments of the Yanmen Army.

So far, the size of the Yanmen Army has reached 5 horses.

Among them were the [-] flying eagle cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun, the [-] falcon cavalry commanding Zhang Shigui's heavy cavalry, and the [-] personal guards in charge of guarding Gao Qi by Chen Dao, a total of [-] cavalry.

For the remaining 5000 infantry, Wenpin commanded 1 people to guard Yanmen Pass; Su Lie was the city guard of Mayi, supplemented by Fazheng, and commanded [-] people to guard Mayi.

And with Zhang He as the defender of Pingcheng, he led 1 people and stationed in Pingcheng.

The remaining 5000 infantry plus [-] cavalry, a total of [-] people, gathered in the Yinguan barracks and trained every day as a mobile force.

Among them, Gao Qi, the infantry, appointed Huang Zhong to lead and Pan Feng to assist in training.

Finally, because many war horses were seized this time, in addition to the [-] horses given to Li Shimin and Lu Bu, the addition of tribute to the court was excluded.

There were still [-] horses left in Yanmen. Gao Qi thought carefully, and finally Zhang Liao selected [-] soldiers from the infantry to form a cavalry that could not only attack with light armor, but also charge with heavy armor.

Gao Qi named this cavalry 'Bingzhou wolf cavalry', and Hua Xiong served as Zhang Liao's deputy.

After all arrangements were made, Gao Qi ordered people to escort the brothers Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin who refused to surrender.

As a historian of later generations, Gao Qi knew how fierce Yu Chigong fought.

Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong fought in the world as Li Shimin in history, and they fought as the right-hand men of the Quartet.

Sweeping the heroes of the world for Li Shimin, and made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, such a strong general, Gao Qi of course wants to take it under his command.

Gao Qi is a descendant of the Northern Qi royal family, and he knows that what he has done is not being loyal to the Sui Dynasty.

Instead, while enhancing one's own strength, one's prestige is enhanced, so as to lay a solid foundation for future self-reliance.

…………

Not long after the time passed, Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin who were in a mess were escorted in by Gao Qi's personal guards.

"Yu Chigong, your old master Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Hu Kou, committed a rebellion, and attempted to become the Hu Kou's son emperor. Are you going to be obsessed with your obsession and refuse to surrender?"

Just to say, after seeing Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin being escorted in, Gao Qi immediately roared and scolded angrily.

Hearing this, Yu Chigong remained indifferent and did not respond.

"General, Yuchi Baolin, the traitor general, is willing to surrender, to take the crime and make meritorious service!"

Although Yuchi Gong didn't intend to surrender, but Yuchi Baolin who was on the side didn't think too much after hearing the words, so he knelt down and begged for surrender.

"Okay, it seems that little general Yuchi really understands current affairs, and he has seen Liu Wuzhou's true face. He will be very relieved, and you are allowed to surrender."

"Thank you, General!"

Hearing this, Yuchi Baolin bowed respectfully to Gao Qi.

After getting up, Yuchi Baolin saw that his elder brother Yuchi Gong was still indifferent, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Brother, I know that Liu Wuzhou has been kind to you, and you don't want to submit to the general."

"But, brother, have you ever thought about it? Didn't we choose to join the army that day because we wanted to fight the enemy and defend the frontier one day?"

"But now Liu Wuzhou not only doesn't attack the Hu Kou, but instead colludes with the Turks and commits chaos. Is such a master really worthy of our brothers' allegiance?"

Immediately, seeing Yuchi Baolin eloquently speaking every word to punish his heart, Yuchi Gong's originally firm eyes began to relax.

Seeing that Yuchi Gong had loosened a bit, Yuchi Baolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to fight while the iron was hot: "And brother, do you still remember that it was Song Jingang who didn't know the military affairs that day, which caused us to lose the battle."

"However, in order to shirk his responsibility, he insisted on ordering his elder brother to be beaten a hundred times. As for Liu Wuzhou's kindness, my brothers have gone through life and death for him so many times, and the grievances and grievances have long been paid off."

It's just that every word that Yuchi Baolin said came to Yuchi Gong's mind piece by piece.

"Hey! Yuchi respectfully wishes to submit to the general. From now on, he will swear allegiance to the death and never betray!"

In the end, Yu Chigong sighed, then knelt down and begged for surrender.

Hearing this, Gao Qi let go of the breath he held in his heart.

In fact, Gao Qi had already planned in his heart, if Yu Chigong still refused to surrender as before, then he would not mind ordering Yu Chigong beheaded.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a good saying that if the talents of the world are not used by me, they will be killed by me!

However, fortunately, Yu Chigong finally chose to surrender and did not continue to resist.

This also added a strong player for Gao Qi this time.

"Jing De, get up quickly. In the future, you and I will be like brothers, fighting side by side to defend the frontier."

Immediately, Gao Qi went down, untied the rope for Yu Chigong himself, and said.

Hearing Gao Qi's words, Yu Chigong was immediately moved to tears, and swore in his heart that he would swear allegiance to the death.

After Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin surrendered, Gao Qi appointed Yuchi Baolin to Pingcheng as Zhang He's deputy.

Yu Chigong stayed by Gao Qi's side, and together with Chen Dao took charge of the personal guards to protect Gao Qi's safety.

Everything has been properly dealt with, and everyone is performing their duties!

Soon, a piece of Yanmen was thriving and prosperous, and its strength gradually became stronger.
