At this time, Yanmen Pass attracted the attention of countless forces.
Some have bad intentions, and some are purely curious. In short, they all want to know the current situation of Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
If it goes wrong, the Sui Dynasty may really lose its majesty.
Although it won't collapse immediately, it won't be too far away from a total collapse.
Therefore, the news that Zhang Xutuo led his army to defeat hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry spread quickly and shocked the northern land.
At the same time, Zhang Xutuo was also hailed as a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and his popularity temporarily overshadowed almost all the generals of the Sui Dynasty.
Naturally, the outside forces didn't know. Yang Guang was now obsessed with leaving Yanmen Pass. For this reason, Zhang Xutuo didn't have much joy left in his heart.
What they saw was that Zhang Xutuo only led 10,000 troops and defeated hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry. What if he had led more Sui troops?
You must know that the Sui army who followed Yang Guang and hid in Yanmen Pass numbered not less than 200,000 but also 150,000.
And most of them are the emperor's personal soldiers, the kind with quite strong combat effectiveness.
In other words, Zhang Xutuo had quite sufficient troops on hand and could easily drive hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry out of the Sui territory.
It is no exaggeration at all. The several great battles fought by the Sui Dynasty against the Turks were all due to the bravery of the warriors and the final victory was achieved.
Zhang Xutuo himself is a fierce general, and he has even more fierce generals under his command. How can the Turkic cavalry withstand the impact?
Considering this, not to mention other forces, the core members of the Li Clan who were closest to them became a little unable to sit still.
The Li clan had been severely punished by the vicious tongue behind the scenes. The sudden invasion of the Turkic army, the silent attack on the 39th city of Yanmen County, and the final siege of Yang Guang at Yanmen Pass were all placed on the head of the Li clan.
He also made harsh words that all officials in Hedong should be killed, which caused quite a sensation in the public opinion.
Although Li Clan was angry, he did not care much about the public attack.
The current era is an era dominated by aristocratic families, and the emperor is supported by them, so there is no need to worry about such rumors.
So what if Yang Guang believes it? Is it possible that he still dares to target Li Clan directly?
However, the bad reputation will have a big impact on future layout.
At least, when recruiting talents, those talents will think about it for a while.
But that’s it…
When the Turkic iron cavalry surrounded Yanmen Pass, Li Yuan, the top military and political leader in Hedong, remained unmoved. He just yelled and sat in silence to watch.
The number and speed of the reinforcements coming to King Qin are all under the control of the Li clan.
In other words, the Li clan has the final say on when the Sui reinforcements that want to support Yanmen Pass arrive and when they can be effective.
Everything before was as expected, and there were no unexpected changes.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan never expected that Zhang Xutuo would play a trick of supporting Yanmen Pass with more than a dozen cavalry, and it was impossible to guard against it.
What's even more exaggerated is that with just such a small number of people, they actually dared to attack the Turkic army formation, and they were able to successfully reach the outside of Yanmenguan City.
Next, with 10,000 horses, they defeated hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry.
It's like the Turkic cavalry is just like paper, and any powerful general can easily penetrate it.
When the news spread, everyone in the Li family couldn't sit still.
Apart from anything else, those reinforcements who planned to support Yanmen Pass, but whose marching speed was controlled by Li Clan, would no longer follow Li Clan's arrangements at this time.
Seeing hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry, it was estimated that they would not be able to hold on for long. If we did not rush to Yanmen Pass to show our faces in front of the emperor, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity?
Compared with his future interests, Li Clan's reputation is nothing.
Among the Li clan, the one who was most anxious after hearing the battle report at Yanmen Pass was undoubtedly Li Er, who was about to 'debut'.
No matter in history or in the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon world, he took this opportunity to 'debut' and gradually began to come to the forefront.
It's just that Li Er's current status and voice are nothing among the Li clan.
The only people I can rely on are the Buddhist masters around me.
That's right, Cihang Jingzhai placed his bet early and still placed his bet on Li Er.
This time Yang Guang was besieged at Yanmen Pass. Although the Buddhist sect did not take the initiative to participate in the attack, it dispatched experts immediately to protect Li Er's safety, which explains the problem.
Not only is it as simple as sending experts to protect him, Li Er can also get a lot of relatively secret information from the Buddhist experts around him.
For example, regarding the incident at Yanmen Pass, Li Yuan only called his eldest son Li Jiancheng to discuss it, and Li Er was directly excluded from the inner circle.
He got the specific information from the Buddhist masters around him.
Suddenly I felt a little anxious...
He still wants to rely on this opportunity to show his face in front of Yang Guang.
Although as a son of a wealthy family, he did not pay attention to the emperor Yang Guang at all, but he had the reputation of being orthodox and had to rely on one or two things in the early stages of his rise.
Unfortunately, the Buddhist master sent to protect him was just a sounding board. He himself did not fully understand these matters and could not offer any constructive suggestions.
Li Er obviously understood this, and finally thought about it and decided to plan ahead. Such an opportunity must not be missed easily.
But in this way, the Buddhist masters who protect him will suffer.
Previously, at the same time as the news about Yanmen Pass came, they also learned another troublesome information: the masters of the Yinkui Sect appeared in the border of Hedong!
Among them, there were a group of elders including Bian Fuhuai, known as the second master of the Yinkui sect, ‘Mo Yin’, and elite disciples accompanied him.
Their purpose is unknown, but the Buddhist masters who protect Li Er's safety are sure that once the whereabouts of himself and others are leaked, Li Er's safety will be greatly challenged.
But if this is the case, you cannot tell Li Er.
Once Li Er knows that Buddhism, which has always maintained a master's demeanor in his eyes, also has a headache and a powerful enemy, who knows what will happen?
For the disciples of powerful families, everything comes first, and they don't care whether it is Buddhism or Buddhism's archenemy, the Demonic Sect, that brings them benefits.
It is best not to let something like this happen, because if it happens it will have a great impact on the layout of Buddhism.
Therefore, as soon as they received the news, they had already asked for help from the host behind it, the master of Cihang Jingzhai Zhai, Fan Qinghui.
They couldn't guarantee that the Yinkui sect's masters would not be able to find their traces.
As an old enemy for many years, Buddhism can detect the movements of the Yinkui sect masters immediately, and I believe that the Yinkui sect will not be too far behind.
In fact, the Yinkui sect masters who rushed to Hedong at this time had already targeted all the core members of the Li clan.
The Buddhist masters who were protecting him did not know that the people sent by Yin Kui had locked the target from the beginning and would not give them any chance to hide.
As old rivals for many years, the masters of the Yinkui Sect naturally noticed certain signs immediately, and they immediately braced themselves up and prepared to fight hard.
"On the surface, you act like a compassionate Buddha, but secretly, aren't you involved in such dirty things?"
The Yinkui sect and his party were on the border of Hedong, so they naturally knew the situation over at Yanmen Pass.
Their sources of information were very wide, so they naturally discovered some of Li Clan's methods, and they were naturally shocked and angry.
After all, Yang Guang was supported by the Yin Kui sect, so he naturally didn't want this guy to fall too quickly.
"Isn't that right? I heard that the members of the Li clan have been making moves recently. Which one should we follow? It's best not to scatter our actions!"
"Whoever has the strongest Buddhist guards around him, we will follow that one!"
"Yes, look for opportunities to kill a few Buddhist masters. It's best to kill a few more. Our trip is not in vain!"
"Where is Yanmen Pass, should we go there and have a look?"
"What are you looking at? Yang Guang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers around him, and there is no shortage of expert guards. Now he is supported by Zhang Xutuo and other fierce generals!"
"If under such circumstances, a major change still occurs, then it can only be said that his strength has expired, and there is nothing we can do to reverse it!"
"Elder Bian is right. The strength of the fierce generals of the Sui army is really unbelievable!"
"Who says it's not..."
Zhang Xutuo was unaware of the turmoil outside. The next day, he led 20,000 Sui troops and went out of the city again to challenge the Turkic cavalry.
It’s clear that we want to replicate yesterday’s glorious victory by relying on the strength of many powerful players.
But I didn't expect that the Turks were also prepared this time, and the fighters they sent were all martial arts masters.
Each one has a powerful aura that can be sensed keenly from a long distance.
As a huge empire with a vast territory, reaching thousands of miles away, although the natural environment of the region is a bit poor, it does not mean that there are no martial arts masters in the Turks.
Martial Lord Bixuan is not easy to move lightly, but there are masters from Demon Xiang Sect and other sects.
Shibi Khan's appeal was not weak, and masters from the Turkic region came to support him so quickly. At this time, he was facing Zhang Xutuo's men fiercely.
As a result, the battle today was not one-sided.
Zhang Xutuo's powerful generals did have the upper hand, but they were not as relaxed and refreshing as they were yesterday.
While the battles were going on outside Yanmenguan City, Wu Dong had already arrived in the Yanmen County area and was standing on a high mountain, silently sensing the other two powerful auras.
On another hilltop almost ten miles away, Ning Daoqi sat cross-legged on a boulder, looking with bright eyes in a certain direction on the vast grassland.
There, a tall man with astonishing momentum was coming at an astonishing speed, but his target was the direction of Yanmen Pass.
As a Turkic God of War, how could he not pay attention to the Battle of Yanmen Pass?
It can be said that the Battle of Yanmen Pass is related to the fate of the country for decades after the Turks. Although Bi Xuan will not take action easily, it does not mean that he will not watch closely.
By the way, it is also necessary to deal with several powerful generals who emerged from the Sui Dynasty and weaken the foundation and strength of the Sui Dynasty.
Just as he arrived at the Yanmen Pass area, he suddenly sensed a powerful energy of the same level...
Yesterday, brothers with monthly tickets can help me support it.
