I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Ding!

Hearing the news from the messenger sent to the Turkic camp, Liang Erhu, the former commander of the Yunhui Army, felt his heart thump, and a biting chill suddenly hit his body.

Previously, when General Wu Qingyun sent eight hundred miles to urgently give Liang Erhu the order to set off the army, he had warned him that he must be more careful with these Turks.

Timur went back on his promise, and only 20,000 of the 50,000 Turkic cavalry he promised to lend to Yunhui's army came.

This matter is inherently strange and weird. There must be some ulterior secret hidden behind it. Maybe it will be a conspiracy against Yunhui's army.

Now, the arrogant Huo Bo Gui Nen led his 20,000 Turkic cavalry to disappear overnight and left without saying goodbye. Naturally, he would not have traveled to Dragon City all night to help him deal with Chen Huaian!

Since they don’t go to Dragon City, where else can these 20,000 Turks go?

It must be Shuobei City, which is empty of defenders at the time when Yunhui's army is marching south!

When he thought of this, dense beads of sweat oozed out on Liang Erhu's forehead, and cold sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his pale cheeks.

He didn't care about going south to Longcheng to deal with Chen Huaian, so he hurriedly ordered:

"By the order of this general, the cavalry of the front army will immediately regroup and set off. All other armies will stop resting and regroup and return to Shuobei overnight. No mistakes!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Following Liang Erhu's order, the 80,000 Yunqi troops encamped at Panlong Pass immediately took action and prepared to return to Shuobei City.

Soon, more than 8,000 former cavalrymen of Yunhui Army were fully equipped.

General Liang Erhu also put on his armor and rode on horseback, and personally led eight thousand cavalry back to Shuobei City.

In my heart, I was still praying that the 20,000 troops left behind in Shuobei must hold on and not be fooled by the Turks and open the city gate and let these dogs with human faces and animal hearts into the city.

As one of the most important border towns of the Daxin Dynasty, Shuobei City has tall walls, complete and strong fortifications, and sufficient stocks of rolling stones, hammers, fire oil and other armament equipment needed to defend the city.

As long as the 20,000 Yunhui troops guarding the city are fully alert, even if the Turks from Mobei attack the city with all their strength regardless of casualties, the defenders can still hold out for ten days and a half with the help of solid city defenses. , until reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, what Liang Erhu was most worried about was that the bastard Huo Bo Guiren pretended to pass the general's order at night and coaxed the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and let in the 20,000 Turkic cavalry.

Once the Turks are allowed to enter the city, 20,000 versus 20,000 will be a massacre.

The Yunhui army guarding the city was responsible for the killing, while the barbaric Turks were responsible for the massacre.

The commander of the Yunhui army who stayed behind in Shuobei City was General Wu Sankui. He was the cousin of General Wu Qingyun who had not been out of the fifth uniform. He was not very capable and had a bad temper.

Before the army set off, General Liang Erhu repeatedly told Wu Sankui that once the army heading south to Longcheng to suppress the rebellion left Shuobei, they would immediately order all city gates to be closed.

All soldiers guarding the city need to be in a battle-ready state, without removing their armor or saddles from their horses, in order to respond to possible enemy situations at any time.

After the army departed yesterday, Wu Sankui did follow Liang Erhu's general order and ordered the soldiers of the city defenders not to take off their armor and horses, not to take off their saddles, and to maintain a high alert state.

Even the general Wu Sankui himself wore armor and carried a sword and climbed up to the tower to stand guard.

But one night passed, and not even a ghost appeared in the direction of the Mobei grassland.

The same was true during the day. Apart from a few occasional wolf howls, there was no movement on the vast Mobei grassland, let alone any signs of enemies.

In this way, Wu Sankui's tense nerves relaxed, and he secretly thought that General Liang was too nervous, so there was no such thing as a bullshit enemy!

Day after day, soldiers don't take off their armor, and horses don't take off their saddles all night long to prepare for battle. Isn't this a fool of a man? Even a tough man can't stand it!

As a result, Wu Sankui ordered without authorization to cancel the entire army's alert and change it to a rotating duty. Except for the officers and soldiers on duty that day, the rest were supposed to do whatever they were supposed to do.

It just so happened that today, a newly opened Yichun Courtyard opened by a businessman from the Western Regions in the city held its opening ceremony. Wu Sankui was specially invited to attend the dinner to enjoy singing, dancing and drinking.

After hearing the news, Wu Sankui went there happily, just in time to find some blond girls from the Western Regions to relax.

Tonight, the wind in Shuobei City, an important border town, is strong and fast.

As soon as Xu Shi arrived, Wu Sankui, who had changed into casual clothes, brought several servants to Yichun Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Sankui was attracted by the fragrance of powder and the melodious ensemble of drums, piano and pipa in the courtyard.

Looking for fame, there was a beauty from the Western Regions covered in gauze dancing gracefully on the stage of the gorgeous Yichun Courtyard.

The flimsy and colorful dance clothes could not hide the white skin on her chest, which was rising and falling to the cheerful music rhythm.

The male guests who were watching cheered and whistled.

"General Wu, you are here!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, blue eyes and a mustache saw Wu Sankui. He immediately came up to him with a smile on his face and complimented:

"General Wu's visit has made the courtyard feel full of glory!"

"Come, General, please take a seat!"

Ha ha!

Wu Sankui smiled heartily and said, "Abbas, I wish you a prosperous business, General!"

Boss Abbas grinned: "With the general's good words, I hope the general will come to support me more often in the future!"

"sure!"

While the two were chatting, they came to the best position to enjoy the stage and sat down. Wu Sankui, the general of the Shuobei garrison, naturally sat on the main seat.

After sitting down, Wu Sankui discovered that 70% to 80% of the civilian and military generals in Shuobei City were here, and several Yunhui Army generals who were supposed to be on duty on the city tower were also among them.

Just as Wu Sankui was about to stand up and question the generals on duty, the dancer from the Western Regions who was originally performing in the center of the stage suddenly moved to Wu Sankui's side to the cheerful rhythm of music.

A pair of slender hands hooked Wu Sankui's neck and started dancing closely.

In an instant, Wu Sankui's nostrils were enveloped by a refreshing fragrance like orchid and musk, and he looked at the exotic beauty so close with confusion.

In his mind, only the primitive hormonal impulses were at work, and he could not remember that he was still responsible for protecting the country and the people.

Seeing this scene, the other onlookers with different thoughts could only clap their hands sourly, imagining when this exotic beauty would come to them and let themselves be kissed!

For a time, the high-ranking people in Shuobei City, who were well-known, had soldiers and powerful people, gathered in Yichun Court to have fun, drink and fistfight, and they were so cool and happy.

But at this moment, in the alley at the back door of Yichun Court, a group of Turkic soldiers holding scimitars, crossbows and shields were quietly walking out of the back door of Yichun Court, and headed straight for the south gate of Shuobei City under the cover of night with murderous intent. .

In Yichun Courtyard, there was singing and dancing, and people indulged in sex.

Outside Yichun Hospital, there is a cold wind and dangers everywhere.

Separated by a wall, two worlds.

Hai hour time.

It was quiet near the south gate of Shuobei City, where a curfew had been implemented for a long time. Only the sound of the watchman's beat echoed sadly and lonely over the south gate.

The soldiers of the Yunhui Army on duty at the south gate were dozing in twos and threes leaning against the city gate. They did not notice at all that there was a group of heavily armed men and horses in the darkness, quickly approaching the south gate.

"who?"

Suddenly, a guarding soldier with his eyes closed spotted the group of Turks approaching the city gate and shouted loudly.

Whoosh!

puff--

The next moment, the soldier guarding the city was shot into the body by an arrow and fell to the ground on the spot.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, more arrows were shot at the soldiers of the Yunhui Army guarding the city like a gust of wind and rain. Some people kept falling to the ground after being hit by arrows. Finally, the soldiers of the Yunhui Army guarding the city reacted and exclaimed:

"Enemy attack——"

However, it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Turkic soldiers armed with scimitars, bows, crossbows and shields rushed to the city gate.

There were no unnecessary words or slogans to kill. A group of people waved their scimitars and fought into a group of Yunhui Army defenders who hurriedly fought in the chaos.

The hundred Turkic dead soldiers who participated in the capture of the gate were all the best in the Turkic army who had experienced hundreds of battles. Not only were they excellent in archery, they were always on target, and they were also top-notch experts in close-hand combat and stabbing skills.

In less than a cup of tea, more than 300 Yunhui soldiers stationed at the south gate were slaughtered.

The Yunhui Army soldier who was about to beat the drum to ask for help had his back turned into a hedgehog, and his hands were still holding the drumstick tightly until he died.

After the Turkic soldiers occupied the south gate, they immediately fired a cloud-piercing arrow outside the city. The orange flash blooming in the dark night was particularly dazzling.

Later, the Turkic soldiers found a winch to lower the suspension bridge hanging above the moat, and opened the two thick solid wood gates from the inside.

Outside the city, the leader of the Turkic cavalry vanguard, General Huo Boguiren, who had been waiting in the darkness for a long time, immediately led his army and drove straight into Shuobei City after seeing the cloud-piercing arrows blooming over the south gate.

It turned out that Huo Bo Gui Nhon had already arranged everything in the city, and the Yichun Courtyard opened by Abbas from the Western Regions was where he hid his troops.

Yichun Hospital chose to hold the opening ceremony tonight as part of the whole plan, in order to make the Yunhui army in the city leaderless.

From the very beginning, Huo Bo Quy Nhon formulated a plan to seize the city by force, rather than engaging in a quarrel as Liang Erhu predicted.

The reason why Temur, the great Turkic Khan, changed his previous combat strategy of "the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows" begins with Chang Yuchun's lightning-fast attack on Jincheng.

Over the years, Timur spent a lot of money to train caravans to carry out trade in various parts of the northwest. Making money was only one aspect, and the other aspect was to collect intelligence and serve as a secret service.

Therefore, the news that Jincheng was captured was immediately sent back to Timur's tent by the city's secretaries.

Seeing Chen Huaian's Jingnan troops heading south unstoppably, Timur also sensed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately decided to send his troops south to compete in the Central Plains.

The first battle is to capture Shuobei.

Only then did the scene of Huo Po Quy Nhon withdraw his troops overnight and leave without saying goodbye.

The book returns to its true story.

As soon as they entered the city on horseback, Huo Bo Gui Ren asked the commander of the dead soldiers who had captured the door: "Where are Wu Sankui and the generals of the Yunhui Army?"

"Report to the general, they are all in Yichun Courtyard!"

As he spoke, a disdainful smile appeared on the face of the dead Turkic leader, and he sneered: "I'm afraid he is busy getting into a woman's bed at the moment!"

snort!

Huo Bo Gui Ren snorted coldly, and then ordered: "Tuo Ba Lie, I order you to lead a thousand cavalry to the north gate, capture the defenders, open the city gate and welcome the Great Khan into the city!"

"The rest of the people, follow me and go straight to the Yunhui Army camp, and pass on this general's order that the sword will not be sealed tonight!"

"The general will get the order!"

With the order of Huo Bo Quy Nhon, the history of blood and tears of 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Shuobei began.

First, a thousand soldiers and horses led by Tuoba Lie, the leader of the dead Turks, attacked the North City Gate. After a fierce battle, they wiped out all the soldiers of the Yunhui Army guarding the city. Then they opened the North Gate to welcome the Great Khan Temur and 100,000 soldiers. The Turkic army entered the city.

Immediately afterwards, more than 19,000 Turkic cavalry led by the Turkic vanguard general Huopu Quiren stormed into the Yunhui Army camp at night. Countless soldiers died in their sleep, were hacked to death, and countless others were burned.

Then, a hundred thousand Turkic army led by the Turkic Khan Timur entered the city from the north gate. As soon as this group of uneducated northern barbarian soldiers entered the city, the barbaric animal nature in their bones burst out.

Along the streets in Shuobei City, I combed them over and over again like a comb.

In the first pass, most of them brutally killed young men in the city and raped and harmed women;

The second time was mainly about robbing gold and silver treasures;

The third time is to search for survivors and continue to rob gold, silver, treasures, and food women;

The fourth time...

That night, Shuobei City, which had stood proudly at the northwest border for hundreds of years, was completely reduced to a living hell.

There were killings everywhere, and there were women screaming in pain everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, and it was also filled with the unbridled laughter of the northern barbarian soldiers.

In the early hours of the morning, Liang Erhu, the former commander of the Yunhui Army, led eight thousand cavalry to Shuobei City. Seeing the city gates tightly closed, flames rising into the sky, and screaming and wailing in Shuobei City, Liang Erhu's eyesight went dark and he fell off his horse.

At the same time, Wu Sankui, who was the commander-in-chief of the Yunhui Army's city-defending force, was awakened from his bed in Yichun Court by fire in the middle of the night, and a ladle of steaming horse urine was poured on his face.

When the drunken Wu Sankui heard the screams one after another in the city, he realized that he had caused a huge disaster. The Turks marched into the city overnight!

But, it's too late.

Therefore, it happened in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was known as the "Jian'an Rebellion" in history!

The next day.

When a hint of fish-belly white appeared in the east, the scouts sent by Fan Wuji, the vanguard of Longcheng's Northern Expeditionary Army, immediately reported the news of Shuobei's fall back to the army.

Hearing this news, the generals in Longcheng's Northern Expedition were all shocked.

Especially Pang Xianchu, who had followed the late king Chen Polu on three expeditions to Mobei and had deep feelings for Shuobei City, was even more furious and furious.

He immediately said angrily: "Liang Erhu, this treacherous villain, has brought disaster to the country and the people. He actually allowed the Turkic barbarians to massacre my compatriots, humiliate my women and children, and ruin the achievements of the late king's five conquests in Mobei!"

"No, I will go to the King of Jin to ask for orders now. I will lead the army directly to Shuobei. I will make those northern barbarians pay with blood and die in Shuobei!"

With that said, Pang Xianchu angrily rushed to the Chinese army's tent, where Chen Huaian stayed and rested.

"General Pang, wait!"

At this time, Fan Wuji suddenly called out to Pang Xianchu.

The latter was stunned and looked at Fan Wuji with a puzzled expression.

Fan Wuji leaned close to Pang Xianchu's ear and lowered his voice: "General Pang, Shuobei fell to the Turks, which may be a good thing for the King of Jin!"

"Don't get excited yet, listen to me!"

Fan Wuji's eyes were firm and he asked word for word: "General Pang, why did King Jin raise his troops in Dragon City this time?"

Pang Xianchu's expression paused, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I have been ordered to appease Nan, clear the emperor's side, eliminate traitors, stabilize the country, and consolidate the foundation of the country!"

Fan Wuji said: "That's right, that's why our Dragon City troops are also called Jingnan's troops!"

Immediately, he changed the topic and said: "The banner of Jingnan's division is for internal warfare.

Now that the Turks have captured Shuobei, it is an enemy country that has invaded our border territory and massacred the border people of our dynasty. If the King of Jin directly went to war against the Turks, wouldn't it be inappropriate to use the banner of Jingnan's army again? "

"If the name is not right, the words will not be right!"

Pang Xianchu raised his eyebrows and said, "Fan Wuji, what do you mean?"

Fan Wuji said: "What I mean is, why doesn't His Highness the King of Jin take this opportunity to proclaim himself emperor in Shuobei, wear a yellow robe, establish a new country title, and declare war on the Turks with his name?"
