Chen Yingliang's demon moth changed a lot of history at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but did not change the major history of the Yanmen Siege. Like in history, taking advantage of Emperor Yang of Sui to patrol the Great Wall in the north, the Turkish Shibi Khan, who had a very good relationship with the Great Sui Dynasty, was also considered the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. Sui, and Shibi Khan, who was also considered the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang of Sui. Sui, suddenly led all his troops south to attack Emperor Yang of Sui's carriage, attempting to kill or capture Emperor Yang of Sui in one fell swoop, causing the Central Plains to completely fall into the dilemma of being without a leader.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the greatest woman of the Sui Dynasty - one of the greatest women. Princess Yicheng, the cousin of Emperor Yang of Sui, sent a messenger to call the police to Emperor Yang of Sui, and reported her husband Shibi Khan's sneak attack to Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui, who had already toured in Mayi, was shocked when he heard the news. He quickly led the accompanying officials and the guards to escape south. However, the Turkic cavalry came too fast. Two days later, Emperor Yang of Sui and his party had just escaped into Yanmen City. The Turkic army was already at the city, surrounding the Yanmen County City. Among the accompanying officials, only Yang Nan, the second son of Emperor Yang of Sui, led a group of partial troops to escape, but was quickly surrounded by the Turks in Gan County. Yang Guang and Yang Nan and his son were all trapped.

The deadly time to determine the historical trajectory has come. Given that the Turks are powerful and cannot resist the enemy, the general of the Zuo Yigu Guard Yuwen Shu once suggested that Emperor Yang of Sui lead thousands of elite cavalry to break through the siege. Fortunately, Chen Yingliang's old man Le Fan Zigai firmly opposed it and urged Yang Guang to defend the city and mobilize reinforcements from all over the country to go north to serve the king. Emperor Yang of Sui, who has been constantly igniting water in recent years, was also wise at the critical moment. He adopted Fan Zigai's suggestion to defend the city firmly, sent envoys to break through the siege, so he asked for help from Sui troops in various places. He tied the edict to the driftwood and threw it into the Hutuo River under Yanmen City, and ordered civil and military officials in all counties and counties in the world to organize troops to go north to serve the king.

It is a little different from history. In history, Emperor Yang of Sui issued an edict to serve the king when he was surrounded for twelve days. This time, Emperor Yang of Sui issued this edict on the third day of being surrounded. Fortunately, the driftwood tied with the edict was caught by the people as soon as it floated near Xinkou, and then it immediately spread rapidly to all parts of the country through various channels, which shocked the world. At the same time, because of the prestige of the Great Sui court, for a while, the soldiers and horses of the king were dispatched to the north like crucian carp crossing the river.

Unfortunately, among these king-supporting troops, there is not the team with Chen Yingliang running as fast as that, nor is there as well-prepared as the team under Chen Yingliang.

Chen Yingliang's de facto father-in-law Wang Shichong was an acting expert. In history, when he went north to serve the king, he was unkempt in the team and cried out without normalcy. He did not take off his armor day and night, and lie on the grass to sleep. However, compared with his unworthy son-in-law, Wang Shichong's acting skills seemed a little clumsy. In order to let another de facto father-in-law, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, know his loyalty, Chen Yingliang not only never unarmed his armor on the road, ate food, drink streams and stayed overnight in the ridges of the fields, kept crying for national disasters, and gave his war horses to carry food and grass, marched for hundreds of miles every day, and burned incense and prayed in public every morning and evening, begging God to bless Emperor Yang of Sui to be safe and sound, and persisted until his reinforcements arrived to rescue.

Not to mention, Chen Yingliang's prayer this time is really sincere. I really hope that Emperor Yang of Sui can be safe and sound - after all, if Emperor Yang of Sui dies, Chen Yingliang's performances will be wasted.

The imperial court still had its majesty, and Emperor Yang of Sui was still somewhat appealing. Seeing Chen Yingliang's hard performance, the Sui army soldiers composed of the three counties of Qiao Peng and Qi were inevitably moved. They were also extremely envious of the generous rewards after the successful journey. They did not care about the fatigue of the journey and marched 100 miles a day according to Chen Yingliang's orders. In order to ensure speed, they all carried heavy grain bags and marched with carriages and horses to load necessary supplies to avoid the delay of the baggage and grain. After crossing the Yellow River, it took only three days to cross the Henei County at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, and into Jiang County, Shanxi, and then took a flat official road and went directly north to Taiyuan. The advance was so fast that after the Qiao Peng Sui Army crossed Henei County, the Dongdu army that received the imperial edict earlier than the Qiao Peng Sui Army had not had time to cross the Yellow River.

The flat official road provided a good foundation for the urgent marching of Qiao Peng and Sui Army. The peaceful Shanxi area also allowed Qiao Peng and Sui Army to advance without distraction. Not long ago, the area of ​​Jiangjun, which was swept by Li Yuan, the ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, was swept away by Li Yuan, an ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi. There were no decent thieves and refugees who could slightly threaten and delay Chen Yingliang's advance speed. During Chen Yingliang's journey through Jiangjun, he not only traveled a hundred miles a day every day, but also often exceeded the prescribed distance. It took only three days to easily cross Jiangjun and successfully arrived in Linfen.

It was also during this period that Qiao Peng Wenwu was surprised to find that Chen Yingliang seemed to have prepared this campaign for the king. Not only had he prepared the mountain and river topographic map of Shanxi, but he also found several guides who had served as postmen in Shanxi for many years to help the Sui army in Qiao County avoid many detours. When everyone asked the reason, Chen Yingliang replied with confidence: "When the last time the rioter Wuxuer and Chai Baochang were in trouble, I tried to get the mission to wipe out them. Although I did not succeed, I prepared these things in advance. I didn't expect it to be used now."

Hearing Chen Yingliang's explanation, Qiao Peng Wenwu suddenly realized it, but Yuan Tiangang and Wei Zheng and other staff members were still worried about a lot of things. They took the time to ask Chen Yingliang on the way: "Deputy envoy, you and us have never explained the Turkic barbarians, and they don't even understand their words. This time we go north to serve the king, how should we know ourselves and our enemies?"

"We have never dealt with the Turks, but there is a Turkic connection around us." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile, patted his brother-in-law Changsun Wuji next to him, and explained: "Wuji's father Changsun Shenggong started dealing with the Turks as early as the previous Zhou Dynasty. He relied on conquering the East and West Turks to make achievements and was well aware of the Turkic situation. Wuji's son inherited his father's business. He not only knew the Turkic words, but also was extremely familiar with the customs and folk customs of the Turkic. With his help this time, we are like knowing ourselves and our enemies."

When he heard the words of his future brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji was also very proud. He quickly showed off his Turkic words and said that he could not only speak Turkic words, but also write Turkic texts (Sogdian texts). Ordinary letters were no problem. Seeing that Changsun Wuji was so familiar with the Turkic situation, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were surprised, and they could not help but doubt that Chen Yingliang had the ability to know ahead of time. In the past, Chen Yingliang never took Changsun Wuji to the battle. This time he finally brought it once, and it could be so useful. Chen Yingliang said that everything was a coincidence, saying that he was going to take leave after fighting Wagang Village and returned to Daxing to marry Changsun Xiaoluoli, so he decided to bring Changsun Wuji with him.

The problem of knowing oneself and being an enemy has been solved, and a new problem has come again. Yuan Tiangang, who really wants to take this opportunity to be promoted, reminded again: "Deputy envoy, this time we went north to serve the king. Although we are definitely the first team to reach Yanmen Pass to serve the king. There is no doubt about this, no matter how fast we are, we will never be able to surpass the army of the Jinzhong counties. We cannot get the first contribution of the first to serve the king in Yanmen. But this opportunity is rare and cannot be missed. We must firmly grasp another big lottery."

"What's the lottery?" Chen Yingliang asked back.

"The first army to support the king who contacted His Majesty the Emperor." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Your Majesty and all the officials of the court were surrounded by Turks in Yanmen. They must be eager to see the reinforcements. Even if the news that a reinforcement had arrived, it will definitely make the emperor ecstatic and boost the morale of the defenders of Yanmen. Since this is the case, why don't we try to win this prize? Send people to change their clothes, pretend to be ordinary people or even Turkic herdsmen, sneak into Yanmen City on the mountain path of Mount Wutai to send your memorial to the emperor. Then even if we are not the first court army to arrive at the battlefield in Yanmen, this first achievement of serving the king will be determined.

Chen Yingliang, who was so determined to get a high-ranking official and generous salary, was overjoyed when he heard this, but after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang frowned again and said, "Is it unlikely? Even if other people didn't do this, we can't find a guide familiar with the Wutai Mountain Road leading the way?"

"It's okay, we can find it." Yuan Tiangang suggested: "We are walking the official road north, and there are many merchants along the way. We can recruit guides who are familiar with the terrain of Mount Wutai and give him a great reward to let him lead us. We have the hope of sending the memorial to the emperor first."

Chen Yingliang nodded and immediately told Yuan Tiangang to act according to the plan. He sent people to find and recruit merchants who were familiar with the terrain of Wutai Mountain along the way. As a result, hard work paid off. When Qiao Peng arrived in Huoyi for a night rest, Yuan Tiangang actually brought Chen Yingliang a man with a deer-headed rat, saying that the deer-headed rat was called Qin Sange, who was from Wutai County. Because his family was poor, he worked as a partner for a Wutai businessman. He followed the shopkeeper of the business owner to traffic goods and came here. He heard that Qiao Peng Sui army used a lot of money to recruit people familiar with the terrain of Wutai Mountain. He ran to Qiao Peng's army for a reward and applied for the job. He also promised that he would take Qiao Peng's messenger across the mountains of Wutai Mountain and go straight to the city of Yanmen.

After looking at the deer-headed rat, Brother Qin San found that his hands, feet, and palms were full of calluses. He really looked like a person who had been active in the mountains all year round. Chen Yingliang then said to him: "I believe you know the situation in Yanmen, it's very dangerous. Are you afraid?"

"Sir, the young ones are not afraid." Qin San Ge had a very hooligan proletarian temperament and said frivolously: "The worst is that he has a big scar on his head, nothing is that he is not a big deal. But sir, if the young ones take your people on a small road across Wutai Mountain and head straight to Yanmen City, do you really give the villain ten taels of gold reward?"

"If you can bring my people to Yanmen City, I will give you twenty taels of gold," Chen Yingliang answered firmly and said in a deep voice: "And if you can bring my people directly to Yanmen City, I will not only double the gold, but also give you an official position, so that you can marry a beautiful wife, have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and live a good life with a warm kang with your wife and children."

Fortunately, although Chen Sangliang was completely conscientious, he was not a completely ruthless person. Considering that Qian Xiangmin did something for him, Chen Yingliang had planned for a long time and ordered Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, teach Qian Enjun a few Turkic words to let him remember them, and he might be very useful at that time.

"No problem, those two sentences?" Changsun Wuji replied.

"The first sentence is that I am the messenger of Khan, don't catch me." Chen Yingliang replied: "The second sentence is to catch that person and catch that spy in the Central Plains, he is a spy in the Central Plains."

Changsun Wuji agreed and immediately translated these two sentences into Turkic language to teach Qian Xiangmin. Qian Xiangmin was confused and asked carefully: "Deputy envoy, what do you want to remember these two Turkic words?"

"What? Isn't it to save your life at a critical moment?" Chen Yingliang asked angrily, and then pointed out: "I have arranged a guide to walk the path for you, and will also arrange a follower for you. At the critical moment, I allow you to throw away your pawns and protect your car. Do you understand?"

Qian Xiangmin suddenly realized and thanked Chen Yingliang repeatedly. He also offered to take He Er, a small bandit soldier whom he often deals with, to the north. Chen Yingliang agreed immediately, Qian Xiangmin was even more happy and said in his heart: "Stinky He Er, I told you not to be beaten for me when I was in Jiangdu last time, wait for me."

After all this was arranged, Chen Yingliang continued to lead the army to the north, and did not enter the city and did not enter the city. He traveled day and night but rushed to Yanmen, and did not contact the local governments. After arriving in Qi County, Taiyuan County, Chen Yingliang sent someone to contact the Qi County government and learned that the gathering place of the royal army in Shanxi was Xinkou, which bordered Loufan County and Yanmen County. Chen Yingliang hurriedly ordered the army to take a break in Qi County, and took out the gold and copper coins he brought with the army, and purchased grain from merchants in Qi County, Taigu and Yuci at three times the price to replenish the grain and grass. At the same time, he sent money to the people first and rushed to Wutai Mountain to take a small road to Yanmen City.

To make the already exhausted army take a break, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang certainly raised their hands to support it, but Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng and others were a little confused about Chen Yingliang's decision to replenish food and grass in Qi County, Taigu and other places. They asked Chen Yingliang: "Deputy envoy, our food and grass can be supported for more than half a month. Will it be easier to replenish food and grass when we arrive in Taiyuan? Then, we will directly ask for official food from the Jinyang Palace of Taiyuan County, so we don't have to pay for it ourselves?"

"Don't dream, the Taiyuan government will not give us food." Chen Yingliang replied depressedly: "It would be good if they didn't deliberately drag me back. How could they give me food?"

"Why?" Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were both shocked.

Chen Yingliang, who was quite cunning, had a rare gloomy face and refused to answer this question with a calm face. In the end, Changsun Wuji replied to his brother-in-law: "Because we also found out from the Qi County government that Li Yuan, the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, had also come to Taiyuan County to organize troops to serve the king, and was in Taiyuan City at this moment."

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji's face disappeared and he said directly: "Li Yuan has a grudge with me, and even a grudge with his brother. He is also in charge of the suppression of bandits in the entire Shanxi area. With him here, he will definitely try his best to drag us down and will not let us take the first contribution to the king."

"This... is impossible?" Wei Zheng said in surprise: "We came to save the king. As the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, Li Yuan would deliberately drag us back?"
