At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 436 Delegating Powers (Third Shift)
In addition, Gao Bufan has been stationed outside Huairou County for two days, and Yuchi Jingde and others have also led the army to the confluence. On the evening of this day, Lu Jie, the magistrate of Huairou County, rushed to the camp in a panic, and almost fell down when he entered the camp. Horse lying down.

Gao Bufan couldn't help asking in surprise: "Why is Lord Lu so flustered?"

Lu Jie said with a serious expression: "General Gao Lang, something is wrong. The officer just received the news that Xikou was breached by Xi people, the county magistrate Zhong Wantao was fighting for the country, and Yanle City was surrounded by Xi people. The situation is in dire jeopardy. Song Gengxin sent someone to ask for help from this county, what should we do now?"

Gao Bufan and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other in surprise. Xi Ren has always been just playing around, but this time he directly attacked Xikou and surrounded Yanle City, where the county seat of Anle County is located. What are they planning to do? Did Da Sui tear his face apart?Can a leopard be courageous after eating a bear heart?

The so-called Xikou is Gubeikou, and it was also called Xikou in the Sui Dynasty, because it was the main pass leading to the territory of the Xi people in the Sui Dynasty, and it was also the throat of the Liaodong Plain and the Mongolian Plateau leading to the Central Plains. It has been a must for military strategists since ancient times. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Xikou was renamed Beikou, and the name Gubeikou was not given until the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Xikou in the Sui Dynasty also built a related city, but it was only a low rammed earth city, and some places could even be passed by a leaping horse. Impossible to break through easily.

Of course, the Sui army stationed in Xikou was not a vegetarian. Since the Xi people were able to break through Xikou, there was a high probability that they would dispatch a considerable number of troops. Moreover, the Xi people even surrounded Yanle City. It's not as simple as snatching a few bags of grain and a few iron pots.

"How many troops are Xi Bandits here?" Yuchi Jingde asked murderously.

County Magistrate Lu's eyes were also darkened now, and he said vaguely: "The exact number of troops... I don't know yet, but the Xi people who surrounded Yanle City are estimated to have two thousand horses."

Both Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, two thousand riders, this is not at all a match for Yingyang Mansion's current strength and capabilities.Gao Bufan ordered decisively: "General Yuchi, immediately send someone to report this matter to Mr. Guo, and ask him to make a decision."

The opponent had at least [-] cavalry, and Gao Bufan wasn't so hotheaded that he thought that Yingyang Mansion alone would be enough to deal with it, and he had to ask Guo Xuan, the governor of Zhuo County, to send reinforcements.

At this moment in Ji County, Guo Xuan, the governor of Zhuo County, is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, because something happened to Yang Guang, something big happened!

It turned out that although Yang Guang canceled the third military campaign against Goryeo, he was extremely unhappy because the King of Goryeo was not called into the court to pay homage to him, but at this time the Turkic people in the north were stirring up trouble again and frequently sent troops to harass the Dalai Lama. The border of the Sui Dynasty seemed to be looting property, but in fact it was more like a temptation.

Yang Guang obviously saw the intention of the Turkic Shibi Khan. In order to boost the morale of the frontier army and at the same time frighten Shibi Khan, he even led a group of ministers to patrol the border in a grandiose manner. It has to be said that Yang Guang's courage is really It is admirable, and Zhuge Liang's courage to sing the time in an empty city can be said to be a fight. Unfortunately, Yang Guang is not Zhuge Liang, and Shibi Khan is not Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is a man with complicated thoughts, and he inevitably thinks too much, but Shibi Khan is much purer, to put it bluntly, he is a tendon. The big fat pig that came to the door automatically, he didn't think about the ulterior motives of this fat pig, and Yang Guang's arrogant behavior completely angered him, so he immediately led an army of 21 regardless of Sanqi 300,000 After crossing the border, they went straight to Yang Guang's imperial convoy.

Yang Guang wanted to frighten Shibi Khan, but the latter didn't sell his money at all, and called directly. Yang Guang received the news and fled into Yanmen City in an emergency, and Shibi Khan was unambiguous. The 300,000 army swept all the way, like a broken bamboo, and took down 39 cities in a row. Yanmen County has a total of 41 cities, and only Yanmen and Nao County have not been breached.

Now it's time to play!

Now Yang Guang and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are surrounded by Shibi Khan regiments in Yanmen City. The situation is extremely critical. Someone informed Duan Da that he was staying in Zhuo County, where Zhao Qun was besieging and suppressing Wang Xuba.

As the saying goes, when the house leaks, it rains overnight, and when the boat breaks down, it encounters the headwind.Here Guo Xuan is still having a headache as to how to get out his troops and rush to King Qin of Yanmen County, while the messenger sent by Gao Bufan has arrived again.

When Guo Xuan learned that Xi people took advantage of the fire to loot, broke Xikou, and surrounded Yanle City, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Just looking at it, you can tell that they are cooperating with the Turks to mess up the Eastern Front of the Sui Dynasty.

I really complied with the phrase "Everyone pushes down a wall, and everyone beats a broken drum". A few years ago, ten people from Xi would have the guts not to show their teeth at Sui, but now it's even better, and they even sent troops south to attack the city and plunder the land. This is clearly to take advantage of Da Sui's weakness to get a share of the pie.

Guo Xuan is still having a headache about King Qin at this time, how to allocate troops to support Gao Bufan?So he wrote a letter and sent someone to tell Gao Bufan to act cheaply, and Gao Bufan was in control of all the nearby counties, and he was fully responsible for matters related to defending against Xiren, and he must guard Changping and Huairou counties.

Guo Xuan's meaning is obvious, there are no soldiers, but brother, I can delegate power to you, and you can mobilize the manpower and material resources of the nearby counties. It would be best if you can drive Xi people out of the customs, even if you can't drive them away. I have to keep it for my brother, and I can't let Xi Ren run around within the range of Zhuojun.

Not long after Gao Bufan received Guo Xuan's letter, he soon received a letter from Duan Da who stayed behind in Zhuo County. Even all the officers and soldiers in Anle County and Yuyang County were dispatched by Gao Bufan!

This is terrible, Duan Da is equivalent to handing over half of his power to Gao Bufan. In other words, Gao Bufan has the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the three counties of Zhuojun, Anle, and Yuyang.

However, Duan Da's requirements are also higher than Guo Xuan's. Guo Xuan only asks Gao Bufan to guard Huairou County and Changping County, and not to allow Xi Ren to escape from Anle County to Zhuo County. Defeat until you get out of the pass.

This is not difficult to understand, as the so-called ass decides the head, Guo Xuan is only the general guard of Zhuo County, and it is his responsibility within the scope of Zhuo County. If something happened, Duan Da who stayed behind in Zhuojun was much more responsible, because all the counties around Zhuojun were under his control, including Shanggu County, Hejian County, Zhao County, Anle County, Yuyang County and Beiping County.

As the saying goes, as much power comes with corresponding responsibilities. Since Duan Da controls the six counties surrounding Zhuo County, he must also be responsible for these six counties. Anle County is also within his scope of responsibility, so he would rather give up half of his power. Also drive Xi Ren out of the pass.

Now that the main force under Duan Da's command is being restrained by Wang Xuba, and he is about to send troops to Yanmen Guanqin King, he can only pin his hopes on Gao Bufan if he has the strength to spare his troops to deal with Xi Ren.

Although Gao Bufan is young, he has made great military achievements. He seems to have not yet experienced defeat since his debut. Recently, he has also done a good job in suppressing Xi people, so Duan Da can rest assured that he will hand over the heavy responsibility to Gao Bufan. If it is another person, Duan Da may not Dare to delegate power like this, after all, something happened, and in the end he, the Zhuojun, stayed behind and took the responsibility.

　Make up for yesterday's.
