Li Xingchen was relieved, but Yu Yi was very worried. This guy was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off. Every one or two days, people came to see Yu Yi for various things, and he was also carrying the so-called Northwest Alliance.
The messenger was responsible for communicating various matters between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the northwest, so it was very necessary to exist. Yu Yi really couldn't do anything to him, not to mention that Pinggao County was far away from Lingwu after all, and sometimes Yu Yi
The news here is really not very well-informed, and sometimes news about his son is conveyed through Xu Shanxin.
Later, after getting used to it, Yu Yi let him stay here.
After all, the changes in the situation in the northwest also made Yu Yi start to have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
"The situation is changing rapidly. I am wondering if we can stop the Turks. Otherwise, the vast land in the northwest may fall under the iron hooves of the Turks." Yu Yi said with emotion, "As a general, I cannot protect one side.
Land, I feel ashamed."
Xu Shanxin smiled and said: "Why did the old general say this? Now the two armies of your country are marching northward, driving the Turks away. The old general is also cooperating with us. The armies formed by the two sides are out of Lingwu. As long as they can
Blocking the Turks on the east bank of the river, or even forcing them to cross the river to the desert in the northwest, isn't it also a victory? At least the old general has done something."
Yu Yi was silent for a while, but did not refute.
But Xu Shanxin just smiled. What he said just now was not just casual. In and out of words, Yu Yi and Northern Zhou were actually separated. Yu Yi did not belong to Northern Zhou anymore, but Yu Yi did not belong to Northern Zhou.
This can be regarded as a veteran who has already become a man. It is impossible not to notice this meaning at all, but since he didn't say anything, it means that there are some things that he has acquiesced in his heart.
"Now that the war in the north is going well, the Turks are likely to come faster," Xu Shanxin said immediately, "General Han Zhengxi believes that if the two armies want to join forces to stop the Turks, it is necessary to hold a joint meeting to discuss arrangements.
I wonder what the old general thinks?"
Yu Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked over coldly, but Xu Shanxin didn't seem to notice it at all, but the smile on his face also disappeared.
Cao Zhong, the general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west, and Xu Deyan, the governor of Hanzhong, seemed to be insignificant before Yu Yi. One was a close confidant of Li Xingchen but had little combat experience, and the other was a younger generation of the Xu family. In all likelihood, they were looking at Xu.
Ling's reputation had just risen, and together with Chang Sun Sheng, the governor of the northwest, he was just a junior member of the Chang Sun family.
But only now did Yu Yi realize that these people were far from being as easy to deal with as he had imagined. Not to mention Chang Sun Sheng, a civil servant, who went to Wuwei as soon as he smelled the news of the war, and immediately put Wuwei under control.
After this important military town was stabilized, Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan did everything impeccably, whether they were arranging defense or contacting Tuyuhun, and they managed to suppress the originally chaotic northwest in more than 20 days.
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life continued to move north from Hanzhong, Bashu and other places, relying on the cities and the Great Wall to reinforce the city defenses, and set up camp step by step, as if they were ready for a big war.
This kind of calmness and calmness is not something that just anyone can have, and after that, Yu Yi did not dare to underestimate these potential opponents.
Of course, what really makes Yu Yi helpless is that Cao Zhong, Xu Deyan, and even Changsun Sheng are all direct descendants of Li Xinchen or have been entrusted with important tasks by Li Xinchen. Their loyalty to Li Xinchen is naturally self-evident, so in many things
They could do it directly without asking Li Xingchen for instructions, but Yu Yi couldn't.
Now that Yang Jian is on his way to Yinzhou, it is inconvenient to communicate with this place. Whether Yu Yi's decision can be approved is another matter. After all, Yu Yi has his own little thoughts, and Yang Jian is not as cautious and cautious as him.
Suspect.
Therefore, it would take seven, eight or even ten days to keep the news coming back and forth. Fighting opportunities are fleeting. As the signs of the Turks heading south to Lingwu become more and more obvious, too many changes may occur in ten days.
, so it was time for Yu Yi to make a decision on some matters.
"Shan," Yu Yi said calmly, "General Zhengxi will decide the specific time and place. I don't mind flexing my muscles."
Xu Shanxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked very calm, but in fact he was very nervous. After all, he was facing a person like Yu Yi. If he said a word or even a word wrong, his previous efforts could be wasted.
Perhaps Yu Yi didn't know that even though it was winter, Xu Shanxin's back was already soaked.
Watching Xu Shanxin leave with satisfactory results, Yu Yi sighed softly.
Perhaps this is the only reason I can think of now that I will not accept the fate of my general, right? But asking for instructions... How should I tell Yang Jian about this?
————————
If what Yu Yi is facing now is the choice of the fate of the family, then what his son Yu Xi is now facing is the challenge of life and death. The Turks came so quickly and urgently that Yu Xi could only fight in a hurry.
Retreat, the previous idea of taking advantage of the situation and charging in was naturally defeated. At this time, Yu Xi looked no different from the Hou Mi just now.
Obviously, this cavalry has penetrated deeply into various Turkic tribes and even strangled several tribes. As a result, the Turks now have no understanding of the situation ahead. This cavalry has completely attracted the attention and anger of the Turks. They are determined to kill them today.
Kill these damn mosquitoes right here.
"Go!" Yu Xi ordered decisively, and the cavalry galloped, retreated into the nearby valley, and ran forward along the not-so-wide valley.
This kind of operation deep behind the enemy's rear also made Yu Xi and Hou Mi not dare to neglect. Naturally, they had prepared a retreat. Stones had been placed on the cliffs on both sides of the valley in advance. Once the Turks came fiercely, they would retreat into the valley.
check.
The war horse passed by a dead tree as a mark. Yu Xi stopped the horse suddenly and turned the horse's head. The Turks behind him didn't know what was going on, but the roaring sound made them understand everything in the next moment, and stones were smashed down one by one.
, carrying the breath of wind and death, the Turkic cavalrymen flipped over. Seeing that something was not going well, the cavalrymen behind them could only turn around and exit the valley.
Looking at the road that had been completely blocked, Yu Xi felt lingering fear. He even admired his own courage. It was not that Yu Xi was afraid of the Turks. Even if he died in battle, he would be wrapped in horse leather and it was a good place for a man to end up. But if Hou Mi
After plotting against people like himself, Yu Xi felt ashamed of the soldiers who followed him. After all, whether it was cooperation or the order from the rear just now, it was based on the sincere "cooperation" between both parties. (To be continued.
