Xiao Shilian and his troops were preparing to turn to Xiangyang. This was originally Li Xingchen's plan. Firstly, from Xiangyang, they could directly turn to Hanzhong to prepare to support the battle in the northwest. Secondly, Xiangyang was also the most important node in the Han Dynasty's long defense line from the northwest to Huainan.
, there must be more troops, and naturally one-third of the main force of the Han Dynasty cannot stay in Lingnan.
"This does give us a good opportunity," Li Xingchen said after considering it. "According to the news from Baipao and Hou Mi, the Yu family actually has some intention of taking the initiative this time. In other words, the Yu family actually also
I am dissatisfied with the job of being sent to the northwest."
As a person who came from Chang'an, Yang Su naturally has the most say: "This is also reasonable. The Yu family in Lantian is also one of the pillars of the Guanlong family. The Yang family in Hongnong and the Li family in Longxi suddenly left.
, whether the Guanlong family is reliable naturally becomes an important issue."
The split of the Guanlong family this time is actually reasonable. After all, it is impossible for Yang Jian, an outsider from a poor family, to be recognized by the Hongnong Yang family, who has no choice. With the Hongnong Yang family, the Longxi Li family, and the Changsun family, several
With the departure of this small family, the Guanlong family will naturally no longer be trustworthy. Who knows whether these families with too many entangled interests may have already reached a tacit understanding.
Therefore, the rest of the Guanlong family headed by Yu Yi were naturally sent to places far away from the main battlefield. Are Pinggao County and Xiaoguan important? Of course they are important. After all, this is the northwest gate of Guanzhong, but for guarding against Li Xingchen
, in fact, it is not that important. It is impossible for Li Xingchen's army to turn to the northwest and then go south. If he really wanted to attack Guanzhong, he would have gone directly out of Hanzhong through the Xiegu Road. After all, Yangping Pass was under Li Xingchen's control.
Therefore, Yu Yi was somewhat assigned to guard the northwest. This naturally made Yu Yi dissatisfied. Yang Jian asked him to cooperate in exploring the movements of the Turks and Han troops in the northwest. Yu Yi simply
He released all the cavalry under his command, somewhat in an attempt to grab the credit.
"Now that the Turks are coming to the west, Yu Yi has no chance to sit on the bench even if he wants to," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "the northwest is going to be lively, this is a good opportunity for us."
Both Yang Su and Xiao Shilian were a little surprised, but Yang Su understood immediately: "Your Majesty thinks that something can be done about Lantian Yu's body?"
Reaching out and tapping the memorial in front of him, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "It's not that it can be done, but that we are already doing it. Secretary Hou's handling of this is still very good. At least let the Yu family understand and reconcile first.
We got involved."
"Wonderful!" Yang Su couldn't help laughing, "Although Yang Jian is not suspicious by nature, Lantian Yu has been inextricably linked to us because of the Northwest War. I'm afraid he himself has to think carefully about it. Lantian Yu
If you are really unreliable, Guanzhong will not be able to bear it."
"So I will add another fire and mobilize the troops in Shu to the northwest. Yang Jian may have to think more about it. Originally, the northwest was insignificant. As long as the door of Pinggao County was closed, it would be safe. Now a certain army
Just put it outside his door to see if he can trust the gatekeeper." Li Xingchen laughed.
And Yang Su also nodded slightly: "I think your majesty should let Chang Sun Sheng settle down at that time. If your majesty is still not at ease, I am willing to take your majesty's place."
Xiao Shilian couldn't help but shudder as he looked at the monarchs and ministers who were looking at each other with increasingly ferocious smiles. The Yu family will be crippled by your tricks like this.

At this time, in a valley a hundred miles north of Lingwu County, Yu Xi looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but sneeze. She didn't know it was because the wind in the valley was quite strong.
Or because the smell of blood is a bit pungent.
But obviously Yu Xi thinks there is another reason: "I don't know who is plotting against a certain family behind the scenes."
"Major General, you should wear more clothes," Hou Mi said with a smile, and casually threw a head on the ground. It was a Turkic man with wide eyes, obviously unwilling to die. "This place where birds don't poop, if it catches the cold,
But it’s not going to be good.”
Yu Xi frowned. Hou Mi's clothes were indeed thicker than his own, but Hou Mi was born in the south. No one would say anything if he couldn't stand the wind and cold in the north. But as an out-and-out northerner, Yu Xi frowned.
Man, if Yu Xi wears more clothes, she will lose face.
Secretary Hou no longer teases Yu Xi. In fact, the two parties have been getting along with each other these days. Although there is no friction, it is still very pleasant overall. Especially according to the wishes of Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan, Secretary Hou should maintain such a cooperative attitude.
In the end, Yu Shi from Lantian was asked to jump into the Yellow River to wash her face.
Although Li Xingchen's attitude was not known yet, the superior officials had confirmed it, which made Hou Mi feel relieved of some worries.
Now the Turkic tribe in this valley is the third tribe they have discovered. The Turks are migrating on the vast grassland. There are three tribes within just a hundred miles. It is definitely not a normal thing. Although these tribes have
The number of people is not large, and it is a typical small tribe. Perhaps there are not some main tribes of large tribes, that is, there are many direct family members of the leader, but it is enough to explain many problems.
The Turks are gradually migrating westward, and although some of them are not large, they are still quite capable. If the enemy had not anticipated the enemy and launched a surprise attack, the casualties of this thousand-man coalition would certainly not be limited to the current dozens.
people.
This shows that the Turks are not trying to protect these weak tribes, but rather treat them as small but powerful vanguards to test the depth of the water.
From the current point of view, Lingwu County should be the main target of the Turks' exploration. The reason why Lingwu County was chosen is that it can go south to the northwest and even Guanzhong. Secondly, after crossing the river, although it is the Gobi and desert, it is also
It’s a good place to make a comeback.
No matter what the Turks planned, the Han people now gathered in Lingwu County and Jincheng and Pinggao on the south side of Lingwu County were the first to bear the brunt.
Since the Turks want Lingwu, it is impossible to let the two southern barriers of Lingwu, Jincheng and Pinggao, be in the hands of the enemy.
Therefore, Yu Yi in Pinggao County actually has no way to control the current situation. The northwest is in chaos. If he wants to keep the Yu family in Lantian, he can only go with the flow and cooperate with Li Xinchen. As for what negative impacts this may have,
It was no longer something that Yu Yi could care about, let alone something that Yu Xi, who was now in the Turkic camp, could care about.
"Look carefully in front of you." Hou Mi suddenly said.
The northwest wind blows in the face with a chill.
Yu Xi shuddered, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you think next?" (To be continued)
