Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 626

"Shocking, but expected."

Luo Cheng was not too angry, the emperor was probably scared out of his wits in Yanmen City.

Before the siege of Yanmen, the emperor was still immersed in an illusion, that is, the Great Sui Dynasty was still the strongest in the world, and the emperor's authority was still supreme.

But the siege of Yanmen broke the illusion that the emperor was indulging in, and burst the powerful bubble of the Sui Dynasty.

After the siege of Yanmen for a month, the emperor's mentality must have undergone a huge change.

The emperor went from being extremely conceited to being extremely fearful and restless.

He is constantly doubting and denying himself.

Before being besieged, the emperor insisted on running to Saibei regardless of Luo Cheng's warning, but now, even though the troops from all walks of life kept coming, there were even 15 soldiers gathered under Yanmen City, plus the remaining Xiaoguo army in the city , The emperor already has [-] troops around him.

But the emperor dared not pursue him.

Even though he knew that there was Luo Cheng, the god of war, in the north, and that the north had achieved amazing victories, the emperor still did not dare to send troops.

He only wanted to stay away from this unlucky place called Yanmen, and stay away from those fierce Turkic people.

In fact, the same is true in history.

After the siege of Yanmen, the emperor went south to Jiangdu not long after. From then on, he only dreamed of Jiangnan, and refused to return to court. In the end, he was murdered in Jiangdu and never returned to the Central Plains.

After hearing the latest news, Cun Xiao, Qin Qiong and other generals who rushed over could not help but fall silent.

Even the old general Qu Tongtu couldn't help but said, "Don't the emperor know that we have broken the court, and Princess Yicheng and Ashina Simo have led [-] cavalry to join us?"

In his opinion, if the emperor knew the news, how could he rush to Taiyuan instead of taking the opportunity to pursue him?
If the 15 King Qin army pursues them, then there are still 8 troops from Luo Cheng and the others in the north.

Coupled with the fact that the Qin kings from all walks of life are still coming from the north, there is every chance that Shibi and his Turkic army will be buried under the Great Wall.

But the emperor wants to let the tiger go back to the mountain?
"The emperor already knew the situation here, but the emperor ordered us to evacuate Monan in advance. Later, Siye resisted the order and went north, so the emperor changed his order to let us attack Sibi Khan together with Siye."

The upright old general was speechless, his face was flushed, and he probably scolded the emperor for being stupid in his heart.

King Qin's army did not come.

Only Luo Siye followed Shibi with 1 horses.

Even including Luo Cheng's 8 people, they would only be [-] in total, and even counting Yun Dingxing and Wang Rengong's troops, they would only be in the early [-]s.

And there are still 18 at the beginning and end.

18 to [-], that is one to two.

The problem is that [-] of the [-] miles are Turkic soldiers, and no one can guarantee how loyal they are.

Feng Deyi couldn't help but said, "This battle is dangerous!"

Luo Cheng chuckled, "It is indeed dangerous, but as long as it is a war, there is no battle that is not dangerous. This battle is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity. As long as we hold back with the help of Shenheguan, even if we can't wipe out everything , can also severely injure him, and then take advantage of the trend to recover the entire Jiangnan and drive the Turks far away from Mobei!"

Feng Deyi was still worried, "But those Turkic surrenders may not be credible. If they turn back before the battle, will Luo Shuai think about the consequences?"

"It is true that their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, but it is still worth a try. The opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, it will be gone." Luo Chengdao.

The emperor didn't lead the king's army to the north, but ran to Taiyuan. If Luo Cheng sent Shibi back to Monan, how could Luo Cheng and Siye defeat Shibi in Monan?

If Luo Chengfang passes the test, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for those Turkic people to guarantee that they will continue to follow Da Sui.

Clearing the border at the end of the release means that Luo Cheng's plan to drive the Turks north to Mobei and regain the land of Monan will fail.

After experiencing the siege of Yanmen this time, the most elite Xiaoguo army in the Sui Dynasty was almost disabled. Originally, the Eastern Expedition had crippled the government soldiers, but the emperor pulled up a Xiaoguo army, which was still able to support the field.

Now that the Xiaoguo army is disabled, what will the Great Sui rely on to maintain its majesty and power in the future?

Not to mention, Shibi's slap this time not only shamed Yang Guang, but also let the world see the strength of the imperial court clearly. Not only will the ant people in the world be more active, I'm afraid those ambitious people will also be more stupid.

The house of the Sui Dynasty, which was already on the verge of collapse, was probably going to be even more difficult after being hammered by the Turks. From then on, it would be difficult to defend the frontier, let alone attack on a large scale.

Luo Cheng decided to fight this battle.

Not just for prestige.

If it was just for prestige, then he had successfully raided Khan Court and recruited [-] Turkic soldiers, not to mention winning countless money, silk and livestock, so he could return home proudly.

He has earned enough, fame and fortune.

But if he retreats just like this, then he, Luo Cheng, is nothing more than a warlord.

The layout is too small.

If we don't fight this battle now, even if Luo Cheng enters the pass with his troops, even if he wins the world, he will have to pay a higher price to deal with the Turkic people.

This is like when Li Tang raised his troops back then, he paid tribute to the Turkic people in exchange for the support of the Turkic people, but later he turned back to suppress the Tang Dynasty, and even sent troops into the customs again and again.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the Turkic army even fought all the way to the city of Chang'an, forcing Li Shimin and the Turkic Jieli Khan to kill a white horse by the Wei River to make an alliance.

For more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they have been pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Turkic people, and they finally endured the humiliation. Finally, with the efforts of famous generals such as Li Jing and Li Shiji, they were ashamed.

If counting from the siege of Yanmen to the breaking of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, it would take nearly 20 years.

How many 20 years are there in life?

What is the cost of these 20 years?
It is the northern frontier, which is freely entered and exited by the Hu people. They come and go as they want, rob them if they want, and they have to pay tribute to them.

If it were any other person, they would probably put their immediate interests first. After all, it was still the Great Sui Dynasty, and the emperor was not himself.But Luo Cheng didn't think so.

This battle, he must fight.

It's not that he has no chance at all, the chance is still fifty-fifty.

Relying on this entrance, this pass to kill Hu!

From Yanmen to Shahukou, in fact, it is only about three hundred miles.

Not long after Luo Cheng once again declared his determination to stick to the pass and fight the Turks, the Turks arrived.

On the Great Wall, horns sounded.

The sound of rumbling drums broke the tranquility of autumn.

On the Shahukou Valley Road, which is several miles long, the Turkic army came winding like a long dragon.

In that long dragon, the golden wolf banner is so dazzling.

only.

The Sui flag on Guancheng is more colorful.

Shibi Khan rode his horse and came slowly to the pass city. He stood hundreds of steps away, looking at the pass city from a distance.

When he came here, it was still dilapidated, and after passing the customs, he didn't even bother to stay behind.

But in just over a month, the place has changed a lot.

Not only was Shenhekou pass city restored, but also many enemy towers were added. Even in front of the pass city, two new castles were added to connect with the old pass city wall, adding another city defense to the pass city.

Close the city.

The Luo flag is fluttering.

Shibi Khan squinted his eyes and looked at the word Luo on the flag, but couldn't see the expression of joy or anger on his face.

"Luo Cheng, I didn't expect you to come here to stop me instead of running away."

"Khan, let me lead my troops to capture Guancheng and capture Luo Cheng alive." A secret agent shouted.

Shibi shook his head.

"The order will continue, and the army will set up camp in Guanxia. Let's rest for a day today and fight again tomorrow!"
