Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 264 The World Shakes
One stone caused a thousand waves!

All the forces and people who followed Sui Emperor Yang Guang's movements were shocked by this sudden rumor.

The venomous tongue behind the rumors has a certain authority in public opinion. Regardless of whether his guess is correct or not, any such possibility is enough to shock people.

Not to mention the reaction of Luodu Chaotang, at least the high-level officials of Xingyang who had been confronting the Wagang Army for several months were greatly affected at this time.

Just like the generals of the Wagang Army were upset and irritable, the generals of the Xingyang army at this time were also quite anxious.

It has been almost four months since I fought against General Wagang.

Who would have expected that they had fought against the Wagang army for such a long time, and there was not a single case of death in battle.

Speaking out, it would shock the jaws of colleagues.

But the fact is that, not only Zhang Xutuo is in a bad mood, but all the officers and generals are not in a good mood.

Ever since Pei Yuanqing was taught a lesson by the second head of the Wagang Army on the opposite side, the officers and generals knew that there were even stronger opponents on the other side.

As for the officers and soldiers, naturally there are stronger generals.

Unfortunately, with Zhang Xutuo's status and reputation, he couldn't be transferred at all.

Fortunately, after confronting the Wagang Army for so long, neither Sui Emperor Yang Guang nor the big boss of the court wanted to blame him.

After all, Xingyang is the gateway to Luodu, and there is also a Zheng family with five surnames and seven Wangs here.

Whether it is Yang Guang or the big boss of the court, they all know something about the situation here in Xingyang.

Besides, the fact that Dou Jiang was so attractive naturally attracted the attention of the whole court.

It doesn't matter if you pay attention to this, the power of General Wagang greatly surprised the whole court.

Whether it is Zhang Xutuo, his three great generals, or the generals such as Pei Yuanqing who will be recruited later, none of them are easy to deal with.

Not only was the general of the Wagang Army able to withstand it, but he also fought fiercely with the generals of the Xingyang Army. This performance is not surprising.

They also knew that the Wagang Army assumed a posture of rats not coming out of the hole, and Zhang Xutuo did not forcefully attack in order to avoid heavy casualties among the officers and soldiers.

In short, regarding the strength of the Wagang Army, the whole court looked at it differently.

I don't know if it's because the Wagang Army's performance was relatively low-key and didn't stimulate the sensitive nerves of Yang Guang and the court chiefs. So far, no one has offered to send Yang Guang's pro-army south.

Of course, Zhang Xutuo did not ask for help, which was also one of the main factors.

But it's not a problem to always be in a stalemate. For this reason, Zhang Xutuo and his generals spent a lot of time thinking about various strategies and tactics.

It's just that I didn't expect that before I could figure out a way to target the Wagang Army, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang in the rear would make a fuss.

I didn't think much about it before, but Zhang Xutuo and his generals broke out in a cold sweat after the venomous tongue that was hiding behind the scenes.

"Mr. Zhang, will the things in the rumors happen?"

On this day, in the back hall of Tongshou Mansion in Xingyang, a group of military generals gathered and first talked about fighting against the Wagang Army generals. After such unnutritious words, Luo Shixin couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the generals all looked at Zhang Xutuo eagerly, and they also wanted to know.

It's not that he really cares about the life and death of Sui Emperor Yang Guang, but that this kind of thing is really too exciting and exciting.

"This, I can't believe it!"

They are all confidantes in the trenches, Zhang Xutuo did not lie, and his expression was full of solemnity and anxiety.

Based on his knowledge of certain aristocratic families, it is not surprising to do such a thing.

For the so-called interests of the family, it really can do anything.

Before, he just felt that Sui Emperor Yang Guang's northern tour was a bit inappropriate at this time, but he didn't think too much about it.

But after being reminded by the venomous tongue behind the scenes, he was shocked to find that Sui Emperor Yang Guang's journey was simply taking risks with the country and society of the Sui Dynasty.

As a leading general from an aristocratic family, how could he fail to guess what Yang Guang was thinking?
Betting that the Turks dare not send troops, and I don't know what Yang Guang is thinking.

As for the guy from Hedong, Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but sneer with disdain.

"Hmph, isn't there a rumor?"

Qin Qiong, who has always been calm, suddenly said excitedly at this time: "If your majesty encounters trouble, he will completely lose control of the north!"

"Hedong, who has basically completed the task of suppressing bandits, wants to continue to stay in charge of the military regime, and naturally needs a reason!"

Cheng Yaojin's face sank like water, and he answered coldly: "It's a very good reason for the Turks to threaten the frontier fortress!"

"By the way, with the help of the Turkic cavalry, replace the disobedient frontier guards, and the entire River East will completely fall into the palm of your hand!"

"Okay, stop talking!"

Zhang Xutuo waved his hand, a little impatiently interrupting the guessing of his confidants: "Don't waste energy guessing things that haven't happened yet!" '

"Mr. Zhang, it's always good to be prepared!"

Qin Qiong didn't take it seriously, and said in a deep voice: "If the rumored thing really happens, it's impossible for us to not react at all!"

The Xingyang garrison is considered one of the local military forces rarely trusted by Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

Zhang Xutuo himself won the trust of Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

As Zhang Xutuo's generals, Qin Qiong and others benefited a lot, and they easily became the leading generals by virtue of their merits.

If it were other officers and soldiers, they would have to spend a lot of effort if they wanted to stand out.

It's about Sui Emperor Yang Guang's affairs, it doesn't matter if you don't know or don't know, it's hard for them to turn a blind eye even if they want to turn a blind eye to the venomous yelling behind the scene.

Besides, as passionate generals, Qin Qiong and the others actually quite recognized the vicious rhetoric behind the scenes, and felt that what he said was sincere and reasonable.

Anyone who dares to collude with the Turks does not belong to the forces of the Central Plains, and everyone will be punished if they get it.

"If something bad happens, we must not stand by!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of his confidant generals, Zhang Xutuo had to say something in his heart to comfort him: "It's just that the Wagang Army on the opposite side may not let us get away easily!"

Hearing this, Qin Qiong and other generals were speechless for a moment, the back hall was silent, and fell into an awkward and dull atmosphere.

Obviously, their worries are unnecessary.

The Wagang Army executives were very considerate and sent a letter not long after, clearly telling Zhang Xutuo and other generals that if the rumored incident happened to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the Wagang Army would not stop the Xingyang army from going north. action.

The letter made it very clear that after almost half a year of confrontation, the Wagang army was very anxious. It is estimated that the officers and soldiers are similar, so it is better not to torture each other.

Zhang Xutuo didn't know what to say for a while, and he still believed in the letter sent by the Wagang Army.

Then there is nothing to say, after a tacit understanding, the two sides did not even continue the routine fighting program, but retreated to wait and see the development of the situation.

In other words, the fighting generals that lasted for four months before had a considerable effect on the training of the participating generals.

Among other things, Luo Shixin's martial arts alone have been greatly improved under the encouragement of the generals, and they are no longer rough at the beginning.

Coupled with his natural divine power, his combat power has been upgraded several levels.

The strength of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin has also improved a lot.

It's just that after a long time, the foundation accumulated in the previous training is completely consumed, that is the pure tempering of the mind, and all generals can't bear it.

At this time, the most important thing to do is to calm down and hone the accumulation of martial arts, instead of risking injury or even death, continue to participate in the battle.

Wu Dong had seen the problem a long time ago, so he naturally took the opportunity to stop the fight with the officers and soldiers.

Anyway, the second-rate warriors under him, after such a long period of training as generals, the most talented and hardworking ones have reached the peak level of second-rate generals, not far from the level of first-rate generals.

They can start more in-depth physical training, and I believe that within a year, all of them will be able to enter the level of first-class generals.

Once there are more than a dozen first-class generals under his command, he doesn't need to worry about future expansion, and he can naturally achieve the greatest goal.

In short, when the Wagang Army and the officers and soldiers of Zhang Xutuo's army stopped fighting with a tacit understanding, they were quite satisfied after carefully counting the gains of these days.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the general's strength is not the same as at the beginning.

As long as you don't go head-to-head with an enemy who knows almost everything, no matter which team you encounter, you can easily deal with it.

Let's not talk about the affairs of Xingyang, let's talk about Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

I don't know what's going on, but the poisonous tongue hidden behind the scenes spoke so clearly, but Yang Guang didn't seem to hear it, and still rushed to Hedong with 10,000+ pro-army.

In fact, Yang Guang did not hear the rumors outside, and he probably wouldn't care if he heard them.

Proud and complacent people are extremely confident in the decisions they make, at least they won't listen to anyone's words until they hit a wall.

In this way, Yang Guang came to Yanmen Pass with his army.

If it hadn't been for the sudden and indirect message from Princess Yicheng, who had been married for many years, that hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops had already dispatched to hijack the Sui Emperor halfway, they might have continued to go deep into the area outside the Great Wall and directly entered the tiger's mouth.

Yang Guang was quite frightened this time, and immediately led his people back to Yanmen Pass, and at the same time sent a team to station in a nearby town, forming a defensive position leaning on a corner.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops swept in and directly killed Yanmen Pass, blocking Yang Guang and his party in the city.

This astonishing incident was not known to the outside world until he sent an envoy asking for help.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the Northland, and the world shook!

The venomous tongue who has been hiding behind the scenes even directly released rumors that all the officials in Hedong should be killed, especially Li Yuan, the leader of the Li Clan. If he said that the Turkic army's attack had nothing to do with him, no fool would believe it.

Of the 41 cities affiliated to Yanmen County, 39 cities fell overnight, but none of the news was leaked out, and the guards were all dead...
