After leaving Mayi, Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde's group quickly entered Daizhou and arrived at Yanmen Pass in the north of Daizhou. Li Daen had already arrived at Yanmen Pass from Yanmen Pass.
After all, he was worried that there would be war at any time. Yanmen Pass was close to Shuo Prefecture and could respond at any time.
Du Qi's group met up with Li Daen. Li Daen heaved a sigh of relief and said emotionally, "Erlang has returned from the front line. I can finally relax. It seems that Erlang and General Zhangsun have completed their mission. "
Du Qi said, "The mission has indeed been completed. The Turks have agreed to form an alliance and will no longer invade the south. However, I am sure that although Xieli has agreed not to invade the Tang dynasty's border, in reality, Xieli will definitely go south again and attack Daizhou. Therefore, there will be a battle before the real alliance is formed. "
Li Daen said, "I have already prepared for this battle according to Erlang's instructions. We have always been suppressed by the Turks. Now, we can have a good battle with the Turks. I am looking forward to it. "
The people at the border had always been suppressed.
They were all sullen.
Now that there was a fierce battle and a tough battle, Li Daen dared to do it.
Du Qi's group temporarily stayed in the pass and did not go south directly back to Chang 'an. When it was close to noon and they had lunch and were resting on the city gate tower, a scout rushed back from outside the pass.
When the scout arrived at Yanmen Pass, the soldiers opened the gate and welcomed him inside.
The scout quickly came to the city gate tower and entered the hall. He respectfully bowed to Li Daen and said, "Reporting to Chief, there is news from the Turks. The Turks have already come south and are heading straight for our Yanmen Pass. Initial estimation is that the enemy's military strength is no less than 100,000. 100,000 iron cavalry are heading straight for Yanmen Pass. "
"Hiss!"
When Li Daen heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
100,000 iron cavalry was not a small number.
That was too much.
The expression on Li Daen's face was solemn. He looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, Xieli has brought out his trump card this time. The battle that is about to happen is much more serious than we expected! Although we have the danger of the Yanmen Pass, in reality, it will be rather difficult for us to defend against the hundred thousand Turks with just the Yanmen Pass alone. "
Du Qi nodded and said confidently, "Speaking of which, Khan Xieli really can't wait! Especially Zhi Shili's group. They are still in our hands, but he has already sent out his troops. "
Pausing for a moment, Du Qi continued, "However, Xieli Khan is sending his troops, his idea is definitely to use our refusal to exchange people as a reason to send his troops, to threaten to release Zhishi Sili. Once we hand over Zhi Si Li and the captives, Xieli Khan will definitely attack. "
Li Daen asked, "What should we do?"
A fierce look flashed across Du Qi's eyes. He said, "Naturally, we will deal with whatever comes our way. This time, we must make Xieli fall into a situation where he cannot advance or retreat. Since he first went against the previous agreement, then now, we can similarly go against the agreement. When Xieli is willing to abide by the agreement, then we will abide by the agreement. "
Pausing for a moment, Du Qi said, "What we need to do now is very simple. That is to set up the defense of this battle. For the defense of this battle, in terms of the general direction, I have the following arrangements. Firstly, the equipment of the city defense needs to be adjusted, it must be prepared … "
Immediately, Du Qi explained one by one.
Following his explanation, a defensive plan, as well as a counterattack plan, was explained from Du Qi's mouth.
When Li Daen finished listening, his face already revealed a shocked expression. He had never imagined that Du Qi, a twelve or thirteen year old child, would be able to come up with such ruthless suggestions.
Or perhaps, this could not be described as vicious.
It was already vicious, or even vicious.
This was a vicious scheme.
Even more so a desperate one.
Although Li Daen was shocked, the Tang dynasty and the Tujue were originally enemies. Since they were enemies, the two sides would naturally resort to all means.
Li Daen nodded and said, "I will accept Erlang's suggestion. Next, I will quickly arrange the arrangements. In short, in this battle, we must let Xieli see the real means of killing people invisibly. "
Zhangsun Shunde also said with emotion, "Erlang, luckily you are from the Tang dynasty. If you are the enemy of the Tang dynasty, such unscrupulous means is really horrifying! "
Du Qi said, "General, war is like this. Of course, unscrupulous means are used. If in a battle on the battlefield, you have fifty people, I have thirty. You stab me once, I stab you once. Then there will be no art of war. "
"Above all, war breaks strategy. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war. Next is war."
"Since we can use strategy to achieve the goal, we will naturally use strategy. Therefore, as long as we can win, no matter how unscrupulous it is, it will be worth it. "
Du Qi said, "This is my opinion."
Zhangsun Shunde said, "This old man has learned a lot from Erlang's words. But just now, this old man was just sighing with emotion. The real battle on the battlefield should be like this, with victory as the goal. As long as we can win, no matter what means, we can use it. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "General, you understand me!"
Li Daen said, "I will arrange it immediately."
He immediately summoned the generals in one after another, and after arranging all the matters, he let everyone go and make their own arrangements. Just these details alone took more than an hour to arrange all the things.
After everything was arranged, Li Daen took a sip of tea and said, "There are so many things in all aspects. This matter can be considered arranged."
Du Qi said, "Now that everything is arranged, we are just waiting for Xieli to come."
Li Daen nodded in agreement.
Now that everything was ready, they only lacked the east wind.
Time passed quickly. While Li Daen, Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde were waiting, the army led by Xieli went south from Shuo Province to Mayi. This time, after Xieli received Shuo Province's Gao Manzheng, he encouraged Gao Manzheng and let him do his job well. However, Xieli did not let Gao Manzheng send out troops at all. Instead, he brought his own army straight south.
Because Gao Manzheng did not have many troops. Moreover, Shuo Province needed someone to hold the fort.
In addition, the provisions at the rear also needed Gao Manzheng to provide. Moreover, Gao Manzheng's infantry following was useless. Due to all the above reasons, Xieli did not let Gao Manzheng follow. He only brought his hundred thousand plus iron weapons to continue south, heading straight for Gate Yanmen.
The army gathered, mighty and mighty.
In the army, Xieli had an expectant look on his face. In this battle, he wanted to first take back Zhi Shili's group and then launch an attack, directly taking over Gate Yanmen and breaking the defenses of Gate Yanmen.
And on the gate tower of Gate Yanmen, when the news of Xieli's hundred thousand cavalry approaching arrived, Du Qi, Li Daen and Zhangsun Shunde all came to the gate tower to wait.
Not long after noon, the autumn wind in the afternoon was cool and refreshing.
Outside the gate tower of Gate Yanmen, a mighty army had already appeared, heading straight for Gate Yanmen. The mighty sound of horse hooves was deafening. The Turkic army outside the pass blotted out the sky and the sun, approaching the city wall in a dark mass.
Du Qi placed his hand on the city wall, looking out at the Turkic army charging over. His heart calmed down, like still water, without the slightest bit of panic.
On the other hand, although Li Daen had made ample preparations, he was still somewhat nervous. He said, "Erlang, this hundred thousand Turkic army is approaching Gate Yanmen, we should be able to stop them."
