(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Book Friends 18672397' and 'Haihu 888'.)

On the official road from Taiyuan County of Bingzhou to Yanmen County, the 20,000 troops of the Xuanfeng Battalion of the Far East Army are still marching towards Dayan County at a leisurely speed, with banners and banners flying, and Wang Junlin is wearing iron armor and wearing an eagle on his head He had a golden helmet and stern eyes. Above his head, a king's flag fluttered.

Calculating the time, this is the fourth day since the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was besieged by the Turkic army of 400,000 Yanmen City. Because he knew that Nie Xiaoyu had gone to Yanmen County, Wang Junlin no longer worried that Yanmen City would be short-term by the Turks. Internal breach.

Actually, Wang Junlin had a way to let Yang Guang know in advance that the Turkic people were going south and wanted to besiege and kill him. Tell Yang Guang.

But Wang Junlin did not do this, because Yang Guang and the tens of thousands of inspection teams he led were originally his bait.

The big fish to catch is of course the 400,000 Turkic army.

Wang Junlin knew better than anyone else that the Turkic people in the north would inevitably take advantage of the fire to loot and march south when the chaos of the Sui Dynasty had come.

Therefore, he had to solve this problem before fighting for hegemony, and he had to beat up the Turkic people once and for all, and even disabled them, so that they would be unable to go south for at least five years.

But if you want the Turkic people to go south with all their strength according to their will, and stay in one place without running around, only Yang Guang, the world's biggest fool bait, can have this effect.

So Wang Junlin asked Li Xuanba to lead the 20,000 cavalry from the Stormy Bear Battalion in a naval battleship, bypass the Koguryo Peninsula, walk through the Waguo Strait, and land from the north of the Koguryo Peninsula to copy the Turkic lair.

And he only brought 20,000 people to Yanmen Pass, not because he thought that 20,000 people could deal with the 400,000 Turkic cavalry. disabled, because to a certain extent, the Turkic ministries may not obey the orders of Shibi Khan.

But the Great Sui Dynasty was not limited to his army of kings who served the king all the way, not to mention, at least the Beidaying from Wang Rengong's 100,000 town in the north would come, the troops from Li Yuan in Taiyuan would come, and the soldiers from the counties in the north. King's Landing has long been considered, at least in

It can reach 150,000 horses within half a month.

With him leading 20,000 horses to take the lead, plus 150,000 horses from all walks of life, he believes that he will be able to successfully complete his plan.

In addition, from a political point of view, he led the army to help Yang Guang solve this deadlock, and he would gain fame and righteousness among the court and the people of the world. At least he could ease the crisis between him and Yang Guang. Guang would not always think of sending troops to deal with him, a traitor.

There was a rush of horseshoes behind him, and a personal guard reported: "My lord, Zhang Tiangang, the commander of the Special Forces, is here!"

"Send him here."

Zhang Tiangang rushed to him, cupped his hands on the horse and said, "See the prince for your humble position!"

Wang Junlin took a look at Zhang Tiangang, and found that the latter was full of travel and dust. Obviously, it was really hard work to arrive near Yanmen Pass in advance these days.

"Zhang Tiangang, have all your people arrived as planned?" Wang Junlin asked casually.

Zhang Tiangang hurriedly said: "I am about to report to the prince. I have led people to find the location of the logistics and food for the 400,000 Turkic army. The 1,000 special forces members of the humble army have all been in place according to the plan. They can raid the Turkic logistics at any time." Battalion cut off the supplies of the Turkic army.”

Wang Junlin nodded, and said: "Although your special operations team has recently obtained a lot of new preparations from the weaponry production base, things like fire-breathing cry and incendiary bombs are useful, but you only have a thousand Man, the strength of the Turkic logistics camp is at least 20 times that of yours. It would be best if the food and grass in their logistics camp could be destroyed in one fell swoop. If not, you can harass and block their food routes. Supplies are fine, after all, it would be a pity to burn all the huge amounts of grain, grass, cattle and sheep in the Turkic logistics camp."

Zhang Tiangang hastily bowed and said, "I obey you!"

"Go!" Wang Junlin nodded.

Zhang Tiangang turned his horse's head and led a group of subordinates, and the fast horse galloped northwest.

Wang Junlin stared at Zhang Tiangang gradually disappearing into the distance, and immediately ordered: "Go faster!"

The 20,000 troops speeded up and rushed towards Taiyuan County. After passing through Taiyuan County, they could reach Yanmen County.

From Fan Yang

County, to Youzhou, Hedong, and now to the border of Taiyuan County, Wang Junlin has not seen any rebels or bandits and horse thieves all the way. This is of course related to his famous reputation. Dare to run to die.

But along the way, the journey was too quiet, so quiet that it was frighteningly quiet, and it was not even quiet anymore, but dead still.

And along the way, Wang Junlin's face became more and more serious, and he sighed more and more.

He sometimes even suspects that the road under his feet no longer leads to the human world, but to the legendary no man's land.

Occasionally, a few villages would appear by the side of the road, but the people in the villages had all disappeared, along with their livestock. And it definitely doesn't disappear out of thin air, because there will be bones and dried blood in the village, and sometimes there will be traces of being burned by fire.

And the crops that should have been harvested this season were mixed with weeds, growing like crazy. Doorways, roofs, and eaves, you can see their weak but indomitable shadows everywhere.

The sower is not the farmer, but the constant mountain wind. It is they who blow the seeds scattered in the farmland last year to the eaves of the lost owners, allowing them to take root and sprout there.

After half a month, they will blow new seeds from the eaves to new corners that can get sunshine and rain, and start a new cycle after next spring.

The turning of nearly half of the entire northern counties into no-man's land is of course related to the invasion and looting of a Turkic army of 100,000 when Yang Su rebelled last year. But there are two other reasons more, because the Turks have left the scriptures for more than a year.

The reason why it is still no man's land is mainly due to two reasons. One is that the Turkic horse thieves pretending to be horse thieves and all kinds of real thieves come and go like the wind, looting everywhere, but the government is helpless, or there is no control at all. Pass.

Another reason is directly related to the government's decree.

Because Yang Guang didn't know which minister had written a letter, he actually ordered the court to issue a relocation order, and the local government forcibly drove the people into the city wall to prevent them from being looted by bandits.

As for what the people eat and where they live after entering the city, from the emperor to the court officials and local officials, no one seems to have ever thought about it, and no one has ever cared about it.
