Li Jing led dozens of imperial guards to Huangya Pass, but he was ambushed halfway.

Fortunately, Li Jing and the Imperial Guard had excellent martial arts skills and eliminated the ambushers. It seemed that these ambushers were hiding at various intersections just to ambush the messengers sent by the governor's offices.

When Li Jing came to Huangya Pass, it was safe and sound.

When Hou Wenshan, the general guarding the pass, heard that Li Jing was coming, he immediately greeted him. Seeing the dust, Hou Wenshan immediately realized something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Your Highness arranges some errands for me, and it happens to pass here." Li Jing said with a smile.

Hou Wenshan saw Li Jing's eyes and understood that there were too many idle people waiting for them, so he should not say much, so Hou Wenshan gathered his worries and greeted Li Jing with a smile.

When he arrived at the hall where there were no outsiders, Li Jing first explained the causes and consequences.

When Hou Wenshan heard that Pinglu City and Gewu City had fallen into the hands of the Khitan, he was stunned!

When Hou Wenshan heard that Hou Gong Xuesong in Zhenbei was likely to surrender to foreign tribes, he was dumbfounded!

"This... how is this possible? I have never received any news!" Hou Wenshan couldn't help but say. After all, something happened outside the pass, and no emergency military newspaper came.

Li Jing said, "General Hou, this matter is very important, and it is appropriate that you don't believe it. But when I returned to Huangya Pass, I just wanted to repeatedly instruct General Hou that I must keep Huangya Pass! According to my calculations, you will receive the news in a few days, and when you receive the news, the Khitan army has already arrived. At that time, people in Huangya Pass must be fluctuating. According to habits, the general will focus on resisting the thieves outside the pass, which gives traitors in the pass an opportunity to take advantage of. Even General Hou has spies."

Hou Wenshan nodded and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, after you and Your Highness left Huangya Pass, I thoroughly investigated all the generals in the pass, especially my generals, and even more strictly investigated. Sure enough, I found that there was a problem with the two people. I suspected that they were traitors. Once foreign enemies attacked, they suddenly took action by my side and killed my life, then Huangya Pass would be in danger."

Hearing his words, Li Jing immediately put down his worries.

Hou Wenshan asked again: "Brother Li, if there is really a problem with Zhenbei Hou, then your Highness is in danger?"

Li Jing nodded and sighed: "It must be very dangerous! Although Gong Xuesong defected to foreign tribes, most of the 100,000 soldiers he commanded were drawn from other governors' offices. Even the soldiers under his command were mostly loyal and could not accompany him to betray the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Gong Xuesong had only one way to eliminate these 100,000 soldiers, that is, to leverage others. The leverage others were probably Turks! So I dare to assert that the Turks had approached Songmo City."

"What should I do? Report this matter to the court immediately?" Hou Wenshan said hurriedly.

Li Jing sighed, "Who will believe it if you say it? Gong Xuesong is the Marquis of Zhenbei! The Marquis of Military Affairs who have made countless contributions to the Great Sui Dynasty, will His Majesty believe it if he betrays the Great Sui Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Hou Wenshan couldn't believe it, let alone His Majesty from Kyoto.

Then, Li Jing comforted: "You don't have to worry, Your Highness will prepare early and there will be no problem."

"Oh..." Hou Wenshan sighed, not knowing what to say.

After calming down his emotions, Hou Wenshan asked again: "Will Brother Li stay in Huangya Pass or go back?"

Li Jing said: "I'll go to Jizhou City!"

"Then Brother Li must pay attention to safety!" Hou Wenshan replied.

Li Jing returned the gift, and after the two chatted for a few more words, Li Jing immediately left and headed for Jizhou City.

When he arrived here, Li Jing observed outside Du Xiao's governor's mansion and quickly found the mark left by Hongfu Nu, and then followed the clues left by the mark to find Hongfu Nu.

Hongfunu didn't expect Li Jing to come and immediately asked, "Why are you here? Where is your highness?"

Li Jing told her the situation outside the check, and then asked: "How is the situation tracking during this period?"

Hongfu girl replied, "I have been monitoring outside the governor's mansion. As long as Du Xiao goes out, I will follow him, but I have not found that he contacts the generals who are leading the army outside the city. I guess he is cautious, because his confidant is missing, Du Xiao dares not reveal it easily. Three days ago, a respected old man in the city passed away. Du Xiao went to pay his condolences. There were many people and I dare not get too close. On that day, many Ying Yanglang generals came to pay their condolences. I was worried that they had already conspired successfully."

Jizhou has a special location, with six Yingyang Mansions in the territory. Du Xiao is committed to the crime of killing the nine clans and dare not attract help everywhere, so he can find not many people. He can summon hundreds of people, which is the result of his years of operation. It is almost impossible to seize Huangya Pass with hundreds of people, unless there are their people in Huangya Pass.

Li Jing has already reminded Hou Wenshan that this person is bold and meticulous and will make preparations in advance, so there is basically no problem with Huangya Pass.

Li Jingze said: "In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, it is best to find out who the general Du Xiao colluded with. In addition, I will have another thing when I come back this time."

"I think we can start with Du Xiao's son Du Xiaofeng! This son is greedy for life and fears death, and is greedy for wealth and glory. He may have unexpected results through him." Hong Funu suggested.

Li Jing nodded and said, "I hope it's time to do it."

......

At this time, Yang Shuang followed the army to attack Songmo City.

The Khitan army in the city was extremely vicious and actually tied the old and young people in the city to the city wall as a shield. Once the Great Sui army attacked, the one who died was his own compatriots.

So Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, did not attack the city, but set up camp outside the city.

Then, Gong Xuesong summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and Yang Shuang naturally participated.

The countermeasures after discussion did not come as Yang Shuang expected, and the siege was temporarily suspended. The reason was that the city had limited food and grass, and the Khitans came to attack must have lightweight and simple travel, and there was not much supply. It would take not much time for the Khitan soldiers in the city to lose food.

But he was unable to take Songmo City for a long time and could not explain to the court, so Gong Xuesong transferred another 30,000 troops to join the 20,000 troops he had drawn before, and let them attack Fuyu City of Khitan.

In this way, the troops were divided into two groups. Even if you could not take Songmo City in a short time, and the other 50,000 people attacked Fuyu City, Your Majesty would not be angry.

Yang Shuang sighed inwardly, knowing that this was Gong Xuesong's division and transformation.

In addition to the wounded, there are nearly 80,000 troops here. It is not easy to swallow it. Now, 30,000 are removed and only 50,000 troops are left, so their conspiracy will succeed.

Unfortunately, the generals led the troops did not know the conspiracy and readily obeyed the order.

Yang Shuang was not familiar with them and could not tell the truth. Although he was a prince, he was just a military supervisor at this moment. He had only more than 200 imperial guards under his command. Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was the general who led the army. His life might not be guaranteed, so how could he protect everyone?

A few days ago, Yang Shuang had a special test.

He asked an imperial guard to return to Beijing with a letter from his family and warned the imperial guards that if they could walk a hundred miles, they would come back immediately.

But the imperial guard did not return.

This shows that Gong Xuesong sent someone to intercept the imperial guard and prevent Yang Shuang from passing on letters.

Even if Yang Shuang wants to write a letter to Emperor Sui for help now, she may not have a chance.

After 30,000 soldiers left, Yang Shuang knew that every day that followed would be in danger.

So he called all his confidants, including Han Qinhu, Pan Cailian, Luo Cheng and Luo Yi, and four imperial guards.

Fortunately, Emperor Sui gave Yang Shuang three hundred imperial guards, all of whom were carefully selected elite troops. In addition, Luo Yi's eighteen cavalry, this is also a powerful force, and at least it is not a problem to face attacks of less than a thousand people.

Then, Yang Shuang told these confidants about what was about to happen. Luo Yi and the four imperial guards changed their faces after hearing this.

How could Zhenbei Hou surrender to foreign enemies?

But when they saw Yang Shuang's firm gaze, they were shocked and chose to believe it.

Then they discussed the next response.

At this time, the west side of Songmo City, more than a hundred miles away, the northwest wind was howling, and the black Turkic cavalry slowly came.

They wore fur coats and only used leather goods to defend themselves at key positions. They sat down as a grassland horse unique to the Turks. Although they were not tall and not handsome, they were easy to support and had excellent endurance.

In the middle of the Turks was the commander of this trip. Corgida, one of the ten most powerful generals whom Dulan Khan sat down, had a rough face and a tough figure, which was the unique tyranny of the Turks. He squinted his eyes and looked to the east. Although he couldn't see Songmo City clearly, he knew that he would arrive tomorrow.

"Da Sui, Da Sui, you Han people like to fight in the nest. This time they were killed by their own people. Hehe, no wonder others." Corgida sneered.

"General, when will we attack?" a Turkic general asked quickly. Seeing his excited expression, he could not control his excitement.

Corgida smiled and said, "Don't worry, let the scouts investigate the situation first. Let's take a break first. After all, this time, only 15,000 people were brought. Damn weather and the stubborn Western Turks, I can't let me enjoy the fun! Although we don't have many troops, we have internal support to cooperate, so our goal is to wipe out the other side and not leave any one! Especially the prince of Sui State, we must catch the alive and take him back at that time. I'm going to find a mare and let the prince of Sui State sleep with the mare every day...haha..."

"The general is so clever! You can think of such a wonderful idea!" After flattering the general, he asked again: "General, this plan is to assist the Khitan. The main force in attacking the Sui Kingdom is the Khitan. Will this cause raising a tiger to be a disaster?"

Corgida snorted: "You underestimate our Khan too much! Is the Sui Kingdom so easy to destroy? Let the Khitan consume the strength of the Sui Kingdom. When we settle the Western Turks, we can free up our troops to take them down. At that time, both sides will be invincible, and it will be the time for our Turks to be invincible!"

"So that's it!" The general then understood.

When the Turkic troops were only thirty-four miles away from Songmo City, they stopped moving and instead camped for rest.

at the same time.

According to Gong Xuesong's arrangement, 30,000 troops had left the camp and headed towards Fuyu Mansion.

And he also learned about the movements of the Turks in the west.

"The Turkic soldiers finally arrived! Unfortunately, there are only 15,000 people! Plus the Khitan soldiers in the city are enough!" Gong Xuesong said leisurely.

At this time, in the central army's tent, there was another middle-aged man in addition to Gong Xuesong, who was not very good-looking.

The man smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis, after completing the task assigned by our Lord, our Lord will go further. If he succeeds in the future, the Marquis will be the best king in the world!"

Gong Xuesong waved his hand and said, "Sir, it is second to me whether to be a king or not. My life is saved by the lord, so I naturally have to repay my kindness! The lord is the real destiny of heaven, and the world of the Great Sui Dynasty should be his! Thanks to the gentleman's side, the plan can be carried out in an orderly manner without any mistakes. Now Pinglu, Gewu City, Liaozhou City, Rao Le has been taken down by the Khitan, and the general situation has been completed. There will be no more variables outside the pass, but the Khitan and the Turks gallop. I believe that the news can't be kept for too long and will be passed back to the pass soon. Next, the Khitan will join forces and take the Huangya Pass directly. Du Xiao will respond to it, and it will be easy to take down Huangya Pass. Once Huangya Pass falls into the hands of the Khitan, the Sui Dynasty will face a crisis that has never happened before! And we only need to cooperate with the Turks and destroy these tens of thousands of troops."
Chapter completed!
