    Although the Eastern Route Army is also experiencing constant disturbances, after all, it still has to focus on the decisive battle against the Turks.  King Yang Liang of Han was originally dissatisfied with his elder brother Yang Guang.  This time the two men each led an army, and Yang Liang made up his mind to defeat the Turks before Yang Guang. They would compete for the top spot in front of his father and brother, and also frustrate the spirit of his second brother.

    Yang Liang was extremely dissatisfied with the delay in gathering the army in Heng'an Town.  After that, the army could not find the main force of the Turks, which made the spoiled Yang Liang anxious.

    This time Yang Jian sent Shi Wansui as Yang Liang's deputy commander, mainly because he wanted Shi Wansui to help Yang Liang lead the army, and it was also the result of the struggle in the court.

    Shi Wansui's expedition was the last outburst of the princeling's ability, but Yang Liang, who was also a member of the princeling's party, was quite dissatisfied with this.

    Yang Liang was very arrogant. When he and Gao Xun conquered Goguryeo together, trouble arose.  Last year, Dulan Khan invaded the Sui Dynasty. Yang Liang was the marching marshal, and he went on the expedition with Gao Jiong.  Seeing that he could not compete with Gao Qiao, he lost his temper and never went to the army. He did not leave Bingzhou until the end of the war.  Yang Jian doted on his youngest son and did not punish him much.

    What¡¯s more, this time I¡¯m partnering with Shi Wansui, who is used to doing things his own way.  Although Yang Liang was close to the prince Yang Yong, he was not selfish about the prince's position. Therefore, he was even more worried that Shi Wansui would come to snatch his military power like Gao Jiong.

    Although Shi Wansui is brave, he is not a reckless man.  Shi Wansui liked to read military books and was proficient in divination and had great strategies.

    Shi Wansui believed that this time the Turks came from afar and did not recognize the enemy's situation, so it was not appropriate to march blindly.  Only by finding the main force of the Turks can we decide the outcome in another battle.  It is advisable to use the main force of the large army to hold the defensive line tightly, while using small groups to search for the enemy.

    Shi Wansui also spent time in the North and knew the strength of the Turks very well.  Now the enemy is hidden and we are clear. If you are not careful, you will be caught off guard by the Turks taking advantage of their speed.  At that time, Li Chong (son of Li Mu and father of Li Min), the governor of Guangzong County in Youzhou, attacked rashly because the Turks led their troops to plunder. He was besieged and killed by the Turks in Shacheng (now Chande, Quyang County, Baoding City, Hebei Province).  within the township).

    Yang Liang has a different view on this.

    In the past two years, the Turks have suffered repeated defeats and are no longer the overlords of the grasslands they once were.  But the Sui Dynasty was prospering day by day, and the Turks were defeated only day and night.  Shi Wansui had not been in the north for many years, and he was probably frightened by the Turks back then.

    Therefore, Yang Liang advocated splitting the army to go out of the fortress, luring the main Turkic forces into a decisive battle with the Sui army, and completing the victory in one battle.

    The two sides were at loggerheads.

    Although Shi Wansui was a famous general, his march plan should have won more military morale.  But Yang Liang was the prince and the master of the fifty-two states north of the Yellow River. No matter how outstanding Shi Wansui's achievements were, he could not disobey the King of Han.  Shi Wansui did not have the prestige to force Yang Liang to dare not go out, so he quickly made a plan based on the opinions of the King of Han.

    This time the King of Han no longer stayed in Bingzhou, but hurried to Heng'an Town.  Yang Liang issued several orders while still on the way from Bingzhou to Heng'an Town.

    Han Hong, the general manager of Shuozhou, was ordered to go out of the Great Wall and go straight to Qifu Park along Wuzhou Mountain (now Wuzhou Mountain in Datong City).  Qifubo is considered the most important camping ground and supply point for the grassland peoples when they go south.  At this time, many people still didn't know about the battle between Huang Mingyuan and Xie Yebu here years ago, and they didn't know what they had escaped.

    Zhang Dinghe, the Marquis of Wu'an County in the Zhu Kingdom, and Liu Long, the governor of Yuzhou, left Yuzhou and headed north along Yuyanshui (now Yanghe, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yongding River), forming a close relationship with Han Hong's troops.

    He also ordered Yang Yichen, the commander-in-chief of Daizhou's march, to go west along Wuzhou Mountain, toward Xuanhongchi, and outflank Qifubo.

    The three-pronged army formed the shape of the word "pin" and entered with cameras.  Then Yang Liang led the main army, led by General Zhu Guo Qiao Zhongkui, General Yu Gongzheng, General Qi Liang, General Liu Jian, Bingzhou Chief Mansion Soldier Cao Pei Wen'an and others followed.

    And the place Yang Liang chose for the decisive battle was Qifubo.  At that time, this was the seat of the royal court of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. Today, it is the decisive place for him to pacify the Hulu in the grassland.

    Yang Liang believed that his judgment was correct. The Turks would choose to take the initiative to fight the Sui army unless they chose to attack the steep Great Wall and towering city.

    Compared to siege warfare, the Turks are better at field warfare.  If the Sui army came to the door and the Turks did not take the initiative to attack, then why would the Turks invade the Sui Dynasty?  This theory sounds reasonable at first glance, but it has convinced many people.

    Yang Liang, like his least favorite second brother, was ready to lay a dragnet for the Turks to lure them into the trap.

    Yang Liang is very confident. He has been an elite soldier and general from Hedong. He has been dealing with Turks in Hedong all year round. They are all brave and good at fighting.??The Turkic barbarians can contend.

    Shi Wansui tried hard to persuade him to no avail. Yang Liang thought Shi Wansui was in the way, so he asked Shi Wansui to go to Bingzhou to supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the army.  Shi Wansui deliberately turned over the table and argued with Yang Liang. Unfortunately, none of the more than 100,000 troops in Hedong were his old troops, and he became an abandoned loner.

    Shi Wansui didn't want to transport grain and be ridiculed by others, so he simply ignored it and asked himself to lead his troops to Shengzhou to defend against the enemy.

    After all, Shi Wansui is the legitimate deputy commander of the army. Once trouble breaks out, both sides will be in trouble, so Shi Wansui's request is exactly what Yang Liang wants.  Yang Liang thought that if Shi Wansui went to Shengzhou, he would no longer be an eyesore to him, so he agreed to Shi Wansui's request.  Moreover, he secretly laughed at Shi Wansui for not being clear-headed. How could the Turks go to Shengzhou?

    Since Dulan Khan was tortured to death by Huang Mingyuan using Yinshan Mountain and Datong City, Fengzhou and Shengzhou south of Yinshan Mountain have become the places of death in the minds of many people.  The Fengzhou and Shuozhou areas to the south of Yinshan Mountain are poor mountains and poor water, and there is not much oil and water, and it is easy for people to die. The Sui army is eager for any fool from the Turks to break in so that they can surround and annihilate them.

    Similarly, Turks will not stumble twice in the same place.  Therefore, when Yang Liang's men made plans, they subconsciously ruled out the option of the Turks attacking Fengzhou and Shengzhou.  It was precisely because of this that Huang Mingyuan was able to lead his army to Lingzhou, and Zheng Yanqing led his army to Heng'an Town.

    But Shi Wansui didn¡¯t think so. Shi Wansui, who was extremely sensitive to war, could see the problem at a glance and what the Turks wanted to do.

    The actions of the Turks were too unusual. They were afraid that the Sui army would not know that they were coming, so they marched south with great fanfare and invaded the pass with great fanfare.  Now that the main force of the Sui Dynasty has arrived, the Turks are uncharacteristically unwilling to fight decisively.  Normally, it would have been the Sui army that avoided the decisive battle.

    Dajin Mountain is Shengzhou¡¯s first line of defense against enemies. If the Turks make any changes, Dajin Mountain is at the throat of the Turks¡¯ advance and retreat, and can keep a watch on the Turks.  Therefore, when Shi Wansui saw that he and Yang Liang couldn't urinate in the same pot and wanted to lead the army alone, the first thing he thought of was going to Dajin Mountain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
