Step up to this position.But this person has a little advantage, he has a bit of self-knowledge, this time he went to support the emperor who was trapped in the Yanmen, and when he got to the back of the Yanmen, he did not stop there, because the subordinates he led could only protect themselves , completely unable to break through the Savior.

"What do you think?" Yun Dingxing asked after being silent for a moment.

"The rules of the city rule that I have the power to spare, and the light riding makes him strong." Li Shimin read a sentence, which was exactly what Su Nayan said when he opposed General Yuwen. Said: "Su Nayan's words are indeed correct, but there is no follow-up countermeasure. The matter of city defense is easy to say, but now the Turkic people are so numerous that we rely on the terrain to confront them. It won't last long. A direct confrontation is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ..."

He slid his fingers on the map, and after a while he said: "General, if you dare to surround the emperor, you must have decided that the rear is in a hurry and helpless. It is better for me to Zhang Junrong, so that the banners of dozens of miles will continue, and the buttons and drums will respond at night. , the captives must think that rescue has arrived, or there may be a chance of life."

Yun Dingxing's eyes lit up, and he praised again and again: "As expected of being the son of Duke Tang, he really has something extraordinary!"

Li Shimin seemed to have never heard of his praise, he only raised his mouth slightly, and then stared at the map again.

Yun Dingxing didn't care. To protect his own glory, he even abandoned his relatives and grandchildren. How could he be dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude of a general? No matter Li Shimin's face was still cold, he strode out of the camp to order pass on.

Li Shimin glanced at Yanmen, and the map in front of him actually covered Yanmen and even parts of northern Saibei, where the East Turkic tribe was located.

"Suspicious soldiers' tactics have failed after all, Shibi Khan will not be so easily fooled." He looked at the broken corners of the map and murmured, "If the enemy is to break away from the siege, we need a helping hand..."

He pondered for a while, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said half mockingly, "I don't know if the courtiers trapped in Yanmen still remember who Shibi Khan's wife is?"

After speaking, he turned around and strode out of the tent without looking at the dilapidated map he dug out from nowhere.

Yun Dingxing's order had been issued, and all the scattered soldiers in the entire camp were busy for a while. They had already stayed in this desolate place for several days, and they were not elite soldiers, so they were quite flustered in their actions at this time. .

Li Shimin shuttled between the camps, yelling at the soldiers from time to time. Although he was young, he seemed to be a chivalrous and approachable man, but when he put on his armor, he had a hostile spirit, and his already sharp eyes became more and more stern. I really have a bit of awe of him, and I dare not refuse.

It was night, and the fire was like a long snake, stretching for several miles in the mountains and fields, occasionally a corner of the flag was in the fire, silent and majestic.The muffled sound of the drum sounded, gradually getting stronger and faster, echoing in the dark night sky, and the sound of the horn immediately followed. Looking from a distance, the momentum was terrifying, as if a real army was about to reach Yanmen.

Li Shimin stood outside the tent, pursing his lips and looking at the fiery dragon. Although he came up with such an idea, in fact he didn't care much about King Qin's affairs. Emperor Yang of Sui was in a crisis and ordered all counties in the world to recruit King Qin, Their Taiyuan Li family was naturally among them, the eldest brother stayed in the mansion, and his father had already led the troops to set off, so he applied for recruitment and was assigned to the General of the Tunwei, Yun Ding Xing Camp.What kind of guy Yun Dingxing is, Li Shimin roughly knows, and the soldiers in this battalion are mixed, it is really not an army capable of fighting, so Li Shimin can only come up with such a method after careful consideration.

"I hope someone in the city can think of Princess Yicheng, or that King Qin's soldiers and horses can arrive as soon as possible..." He whispered, his eyes darkened, and after a while, he suddenly revealed a contemptuous smile, "If No, that person is dead."

After that, he turned around and entered the tent, and never came out again.

This suspicious strategy was carried out for two days in a row, and the Turks were still watching outside Yanmen City. Seeing that the strategy had no effect, Yun Dingxing became a little anxious, and asked Li Shimin again for questioning.

Li Shimin stood upright, hearing the words, he just said: "Since it has started, it cannot be stopped. Even if it is a paper tiger, it can scare many people if it is painted beautifully. Now we can only wait for more soldiers and horses to come to the rescue." .”

Yun Dingxing had no choice but to let it go.

Inside Yanmen City.

Turkic arrows shot into the city all over the place, wounded soldiers sat in twos and threes against the wall with dull expressions, the streets were desolate, the old, weak, women and children were gathered in one place to settle down, and the available young and middle-aged were all taken Conscripted, the Turks attacked several times, the city had to barely defend, and there were many casualties.

The palace was also in a panic, the maids and eunuchs had nothing to do, so they could only gather in one place mourning, many palace maids were quietly wiping their tears with handkerchiefs.Xiao Li, the Minister of Internal History, walked through the palace garden, seeing this situation, she couldn't help sighing: "Weeping and weeping, the clouds are gloomy, it's no wonder the morale outside is low, even if some reinforcements come, it's useless."

Yu Shiji, a close minister, said: "Last night, someone reported that King Qin's army had arrived, with banners and flags all over the field, and drums and drums responding. I think this is a difficult time, but the Lord really wants to boost morale."

Xiao Li just smiled when he heard the words, how could he not know what Yu Shiji said about the "big army"?However, as far as he knows, the army of King Qin from all walks of life has arrived, even if it is difficult to protect themselves. It's not very useful, but the person who came up with this plan has quite a bit of courage.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li also said: "That's it, I'll meet the lord later, I have to ask Mr. Yu to say a few more words, please be sure to ask the lord..."

Before the conversation was finished, the two had arrived at the main hall, Xiao Li also stopped talking, tidied up his appearance, and went in to see Yang Guang.

In the spacious hall, there are no maids and eunuchs on the left and right, Yang Guang can't stop pacing in the hall, while the Shangshu Fan Zigai and the servant Pei Ju hang their heads in silence.

Seeing Xiao Li and Yu Shiji coming in, Yang Guang hurriedly asked: "I heard that King Qin's army has arrived, is it true?"

Yu Shiji and Xiao Li looked at each other, Xiao Li took a step forward and said: "I don't know about this yet, but according to what I saw—" He hesitated for a moment, then said it out, "I'm afraid it's just a trick of suspicion. "

Yang Guang immediately showed disappointment on his face, and then said angrily: "Which battalion is so ignorant of good and evil!"

Xiao Li said: "My lord, this is a wonderful move. God bless the Sui Dynasty. If the development goes smoothly, the Turks will surely escape from the siege."

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Guang was very impatient, he was extremely anxious these few days, and there were several blisters on his mouth.

"Your Majesty, please remember that East Turkic Kehe Dun is Princess Yicheng, who has always been familiar with military affairs. In the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty broke the siege of Pingcheng with the power of the Kuo family. Kuang Yicheng took the status of the emperor's daughter as his wife, and he had to rely on us, the Great Sui Dynasty. If you send an envoy to tell Yicheng what happened here, the princess will definitely not sit idly by." Xiao Li said, this is the main purpose of his visit this time.

Yang Guang doubted: "Yicheng is a woman, can she control the situation of the battle?"

"If it's not beneficial, it won't hurt." Xiao Li cupped his hands.

Yang Guang pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I will follow what Qing said."

Seeing this, Yu Shiji also reported: "My lord, since the King Qin's edict has been issued, there is great enthusiasm from all over the country. The lord should also pay the compensation in person and promise a big reward. Only in this way can the morale be improved. The officers and soldiers must be loyal and fulfill their duties to protect the great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang waved his hand and said: "I know, I will go out to the palace this afternoon. Is there anything else you want to report?"

Seeing that no one had anything to say, Yang Guang said in a distraught way: "Let's go if you have nothing to do."

It has to be said that Xiao Li is indeed an extremely smart person, it was his proposal to contact Princess Yicheng that made Emperor Sui Yang's trapped Yanmen come to an end.

Three days after Li Shimin suspected the army's plan, the Turkic Shibi Khan was unable to attack Yanmen County for a while, and was still fighting with the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty in Yanmen. North of Xinxian County, Shanxi Province, which is only a short distance away from Yanmen. Kuaima sent an envoy to inform Princess Kehe Dun Yicheng, who was far away in the desert court, and exhaustedly told the princess about Yanmen. The princess made a decisive decision and sent someone to make a false report. "There is an emergency in the north." Although Shibi Khan had doubts when he received the report, one of the Western Turks was still one of his opponents even though they were weak, and they might take this opportunity to attack the rear; The army had indeed arrived near the Yanmen Gate, and what they saw a few days ago was not false. Shibi Khan knew that he would not be able to capture Changdi this time, but he also let him be swept away, and he had nothing to lose, so he accepted it as soon as it was good. On September [-]th, Shibi Khan led the Turkic cavalry to escape from the siege.

After the Yanmen Incident, Yang Guang got up in shock and drove back to Dongdu, and soldiers from all walks of life also returned to their counties.Li Shimin received a lot of praise for his meritorious deeds. Before returning to Hedong, a letter from his family reached Li Jiancheng first.

Li Jiancheng rested his jaw on one hand, and lazily looked at the letter on the case table. He was also quite tired these days, and now he saw Li Shimin's letter full of childish pride and showing off, so he couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Li Yuanji opened the door and came in.Since Li Shimin went to Qin Wang, he often ran to his eldest brother, sharing some affairs with his elder brother, and also took the opportunity to get close to his elder brother.

Seeing the gentle smile on Li Jiancheng's face, Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Li Jiancheng knew that he always hated Li Shimin, so he just said indifferently: "It's nothing, Shimin wrote, the Taoist master is out of trouble, and he will return to Luoyang in a few days."

Li Yuanji snorted coldly, and said, "I never expected to be so lucky. I thought he must be captured by the Turks."

"Yuanji, speak carefully." Li Jiancheng frowned and glanced at him.

Li Yuanji felt aggrieved when he heard the words: "Obviously that..." He paused, vaguely said that
