Du Qi laughed, "How can you be so powerful?"
Du Qi raised his head and looked up at Yang Zhengdao. He said, "Yang Zhengdao, you're of Huaxia blood. I didn't think that you'd recognize a thief as your father and treat the Turks as your parents. I don't know if Yang Jian will die with everlasting regret if he knows this. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "I'm afraid your ancestors won't be able to rest in peace. If I were you, Yang Zhengdao, I'd rather die than live in dishonor. Relying on the strength of the Turks is a disgrace to the Yang family. "
Hearing this, Yang Zhengdao's face burned.
In truth, Yang Zhengdao truly was somewhat dissatisfied with relying on the Turks. It was precisely for this reason that Yang Zhengdao had spoken to Yun Chong earlier in the hall about how he hoped to expand his strength.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
When Yun Chong saw Yang Zhengdao's expression and heard his words, he knew that the people outside the city were not simple. He walked to Yang Zhengdao's side and put his hand on the city wall. He sneered, "Who are you outside the city? Have you forgotten that Li Yuan, who started the war back then, also relied on the Tujue's strength? "
Gao Manzheng explained, "Young Master Du, this man is Yun Chong, Yang Zhengdao's teacher and the minister of this small court. Unfortunately, it's just wishful thinking on his part. It's impossible for him to stop us. "
Du Qi said firmly, "When the emperor retired, he didn't rely on the strength of the Turks. He just wanted to stabilize the Turks. Otherwise, when the Turks invaded the south, countless people would suffer. Especially since the founding of the Tang dynasty, they didn't treat the Turks as their parents. The Tang dynasty wanted to seek justice for the people, so they wanted to take revenge and defeat the Turks. Before, there was the battle of Yanmen Pass. Now, there is an army to suppress the Turks. "
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Who am I? I am Du Qi. This time, I am under the order of the emperor of the Tang dynasty to go north to suppress the Turks and destroy Xieli Khan. "
Yun Chong's heart skipped a beat when he heard Du Qi's name.
Du Qi!
It was Du Qi!
Du Qi's name was well-known to everyone. Du Qi had once been on a diplomatic mission to the Turks, and he had personally orchestrated the Battle of Yanmen Pass, resulting in the deaths of countless Turks outside Yanmen Pass.
Most importantly, Yun Chong heard from Du Qi that the Emperor of the Tang dynasty, Li Shimin, had sent troops to attack the Turks.
However, there was no news at all.
Yun Chong didn't know what was going on, but he could sense that something was wrong. He took a deep breath and said, "Du Qi, it's impossible for you and Gao Manzheng to destroy the Turks on your own. You, Du Qi, are just trying to pick on a pushover. That's why you attacked us. If you really want to destroy the Turks, why didn't you go to the E Yang Ridge directly? Why did you send people here? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Yun Chong, why do you think that I didn't attack the Turks?"
Yun Chong's heart skipped a beat.
The situation was not good.
Yun Chong was extremely nervous. Once the Turks were attacked, Xieli Khan would not be able to come to Yang Zhengdao's aid, and Yang Zhengdao would be alone here.
The ten thousand soldiers in the city would not be able to withstand Gao Manzheng's attack.
Yun Chong suppressed the panic in his heart and said again, "Du Qi, you're just trying to scare me. From the beginning to the end, there was no news that the Tang dynasty was going to attack the Turks. If we want to attack the Turks, we won't be able to win without more than a hundred thousand soldiers. It's impossible for there to be no news about the mobilization of more than a hundred thousand soldiers. You are just trying to fool people who don't know common sense. Du Qi, you want to mess up our determination to defend the city and attack the morale of the Great Sui soldiers? Impossible. "
Du Qi said again, "Yun Chong, the Tang dynasty did not send a large number of soldiers. But the problem is, how can you be so sure that they didn't send any soldiers? To tell you the truth, the thirty thousand elite soldiers led by Li Jing of the Tang dynasty have quietly gone to the E Yang Ridge. No one expected the Tang dynasty to send a surprise army. What do you think will happen if the E Yang Ridge is suddenly attacked? "
Yun Chong's expression changed.
Li Jing!
It was Li Jing who led the army.
Yun Chong knew Li Jing. He was a master of the art of war and was very good at commanding soldiers. Even if there were only thirty thousand soldiers, the Turks at E Yang Ridge would not be able to defend themselves and would definitely lose.
Yun Chong was silent at this moment.
He did not know what to say.
But Yun Chong knew the severity of the situation. No matter what, he could not panic. Once he panicked, he would not be able to defend against the Tang army. So he had to calm his emotions first.
Yun Chong said in a deep voice, "Du Qi, even if Li Jing is leading the army, so what? Thirty thousand Tang soldiers can't break E Yang Ridge. It's impossible for the Tang army to win. "
"Report!"
At this moment, on the official road far away.
A cavalryman galloped over.
The cavalryman was the scout of the Tang army. He shouted as he galloped. With the galloping of the horses, it did not take long for the sentries to arrive at Du Qi's side. The sentries reported, "Reporting to Adjunct Officer Du, Manager Li led thirty thousand troops to launch a sneak attack on Xie Yang Ridge and defeated the Turks, killing more than three thousand people. Now, Xieli Khan and his men are running away. They have won the battle against the Turks. "
"Good!"
Du Qi smiled.
As expected of Li Jing.
Originally, Du Qi predicted that for Li Jing to win, it would take at least three days, maybe even four or five days. But now that the battle report had been sent over, and it had only been three days, one could see that Li Jing had already broken E Yang Ridge and defeated Xieli Khan.
Using troops like a god, invading like fire.
These words could not be more appropriate for Li Jing.
Du Qi looked up and shouted, "Yang Zhengdao, Yun Chong, did you hear that? Our Great Tang has already achieved victory at Xingyang Ridge. Khan Xieli has already fled. Without Xieli's support, your ten thousand soldiers are all alone in Dingxiang. You will definitely lose this battle. "
Yun Chong's heart sank.
He was even more nervous.
He had some doubts about the news reported by the scout, but he knew that it might be true. Because under Li Jing's surprise attack, Xieli Khan could not block the attack in a hurry.
Yun Chong could not show his cowardice, so he shouted, "Du Qi, in order to break my Dingxiang, you have really put in a lot of effort and used all kinds of methods! You purposely said that Li Jing led the army to attack E Yang Ridge, and then arranged for someone to deliver the news, saying that Li Jing had won, so as to scare me, so as to disturb the morale of the defending soldiers. Your intentions are really vicious. "
Du Qi sneered, "Yun Chong, it's up to you to believe it or not. Besides, I, Du Qi, am not going to use such methods when leading the army to war. Your Dingxiang is not worth my effort. "
"Besides, you, Yunchong, have spies in the Turks."
"Now that Manager Li's scout has come to report, in at most half a day, your scout will come back to report the news. At that time, you will know whether the news is true or not. "
Du Qi said, "Lying to you is really boring."
Yun Chong frowned deeply.
He looked around. At this moment, the defending soldiers on the city gate tower were all discussing animatedly, and all of them were quite nervous.
The reason was very simple, they were worried that the Turks had been defeated.
Even if these soldiers also thought that Du Qi might be lying, it was better to be safe than sorry. If the Turks were really defeated, then they would definitely be defeated.
Therefore, the morale of the army began to fluctuate.
The defending soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit.
In fact, when the defending soldiers heard that the Tang dynasty had sent troops to attack the Turks and also to attack them at the same time, their hearts had already sunk, and they were all very worried.
They were all worried that they would not be able to hold on.
They were even more worried that they would die here.
Du Qi paused for a moment. He was far away from the city wall, but he could still hear a lot of discussions on the city gate tower. Obviously, the defending soldiers of Dingxiang were all panicking.
