The inauguration ceremony of the two new deacons and monks of Huilin and Daxingguo Temple was brief and grand, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, read out the emperor's edict appointing Huilin as the monk supervisor of Hebei Province in front of hundreds of officials of Hebei Province and the abbots and monks of various Buddhist temples who were invited from various state capitals, and issued the seal of the abbot and deacon monk of Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou jointly signed by the monk Zheng and the Honglu Temple Zongxuan Office in charge of national religious affairs, and each person was rewarded with a big red robe. After that, Yang Guang and hundreds of officials watched the ceremony, the abbots of each temple came to meet the new monks, and the monk Huilin proclaimed the Dharma and preached for the participants, and the ceremony ended.

Early in the morning of the same day, Yang Guang ordered the "Black General" and "Jade Claw" to be temporarily handed over to the locally recruited eagle boy to be fed, and to prepare horses, water bags, dry food and other things needed for travel in Weifu with fresh Luo and Zhang Xutuo, who had just recovered from serious injuries, and waited in Jinyang Palace.

Yang Guang sat in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, so he had the idea of slipping away in advance, and under the pretext of going out of the convenient space, he pulled Zhang Wei and Wang Shao, who were sitting beside him, out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and quietly told the two that they were going out of the city today, visiting the people, and temporarily handing over the affairs of Xingtai to the two servants to deal with it.

Zhang Wei and Wang Shao are both orthodox Confucian scholars, and they were impatient to listen to Hui Lin talk about Buddhist scriptures, so they took the opportunity to propose to send Yang Guang out of the city, Yang Guang wanted to refuse, but raised his eyes to see that the two of them were tired, so he understood the end of it, and he smiled and walked out of Daxingguo Temple accompanied by two servants, and walked in the direction of Jinyang Palace.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

The three of them walked to Chengdong Street, which led to Jinyang Palace, and suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the rider kept shouting loudly to the pedestrians on the street to make way for him.

Wang Shao looked back at the sound of the voice, and recognized at a glance that the person riding a horse was a scout of the Sui army, so he shouted at the man on horseback: "Why are you so alarmed, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here, but you want to rush to Jinyang Palace to report the military situation?" ”

The scout didn't expect to meet Yang Guang in the middle of the road, hearing this, he hurriedly pulled the reins, and when the war horse under the crotch was galloping forward, he was suddenly tightened by the master, let out a long neigh, and a person stood up steeply, and the scout on the horseback was directly thrown off the horse's back and fell heavily to the ground.

The scout didn't care about the pain on his body, turned over and fell at Yang Guang's feet, and hissed and reported: "Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, the Turks are attacking Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Pass is in an emergency!" ”

In an instant, Yang Guang only felt that his head "boomed", and his body shook twice involuntarily, before he could barely stabilize his mind and hurriedly asked, "How many men and horses have the Turks sent to attack the city?" Has Yanmen Pass been breached now? ”

At this time, when the pedestrians on the street heard the news of the Turkic attack on Yanmen Pass, they all stopped and gathered around to hear what was going on. Zhang Wei saw that he was asking about the military situation in front of the people on the street, so he hurriedly reminded Yang Guang to take the scout who reported the news back to Jinyang Palace and it was not too late to ask in detail.

Wang Shao personally urged his soldiers to separate from the audience, and hurried back to Jinyang Palace with scouts with Yang Guang and Zhang Wei.

As soon as he entered the palace gate of Jinyang Palace, Yang Guang couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart, and asked the scout for details again.

"Lord Wang, this time the Turks dispatched a full 100,000 soldiers and horses, starting from today's fourth watch, they launched a round of fierce attacks on Yanmen Pass, and when the small one returned to the state to ask for help under the order of Li Shangshu of the Taiwan Military Department, the city wall north of Yanmen Pass has been smashed open by the Turks with a stone machine, and the prince will not send troops to rescue, and Yanmen Pass will be captured by the Turks." The scout reported with a crying voice.

The military situation has been urgent, and Yang Guang can't afford to hesitate and hesitate for a moment, he can't even take care of entering the main hall of Jinyang Palace, so he found a duty room next to the palace gate and sat down, and ordered the right servant of the stage to shoot Wang Shao personally lead 30,000 horses to gallop to aid Yanmen Pass, and the left servant shot Zhang Wei with his own general order to mobilize all the garrisons near Bingzhou as a backup, that is, to go to Yanmen Pass to meet the enemy.

After the two servants were ordered to leave, Yang Guangfang had time to ask the scout who reported the news to ask the reason.

"Xiao's knowledge is extremely limited, but this time the Turks must have come prepared, not only the number of people and horses dispatched is unprecedented, but also as soon as they come up, they will carry out a round of strong attacks on Yanmen Pass, it seems that their real purpose is the city of Bingzhou where the prince is located, not a pass in Yanmen."

Just two days ago, the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu, who led the army to guard Baidao Prefecture, also sent someone to send the head of Yuwenyue, and greeted himself very diligently, how did it happen that in just two days, the Turks mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses, and suddenly launched a strong attack on Yanmen Pass without declaring war? Yang Guang repelled the scout, his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to sort out this incident: if as reported by the scout, the Turks really dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses, brazenly broke the half-year-long strike and repair situation between the two countries, and stormed Yanmen Pass, it can only show one fact, the human head of Yuwenyue is a drug given to him by Sha Boluo's father and son, which is used to paralyze himself and relax his vigilance against the Turks.

However, why did Sha Bolu choose to break the hard-won peace between the two countries at this time and brazenly raise troops to attack? Could it still be instigated and used by Yuwen Prajna?

Using Yu Wenyue's head, he had the illusion that Sha Bolu did not approve of Ke Hedun's restoration conspiracy, and then suddenly sent troops to attack under this circumstance, and took Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and forced himself to agree to any conditions he proposed...... This is likely to be a game that Sha Boluo's father and son have deliberately laid out.

"Go back to the main hall and beat the drums to gather the generals." As soon as he guessed the ins and outs of this matter, Yang Guang no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the main hall of Jinyang Palace to gather drums and discuss countermeasures.

It only took a quarter of an hour for all the generals in the army to arrive, and Yang Guang's first military order was given to Zhao Cai, the commander of the scout battalion.

"Zhao Cai, I order you to immediately send scouts out of the customs and sneak to Wuyuan City, Dujin Mountain, and Baidao Prefecture respectively, to quickly find out the troop movements, deployment details, and grain and grass supply of the Turks this time, and there must be no mistakes."

Ordering Zhao Cai to send scouts out of the customs immediately to inquire about the military situation, Yang Guangcai gave a general introduction to the generals in the army about the urgent military situation of the Turks suddenly sending 100,000 troops to storm Yanmen Pass, and consulted the generals about the judgment and countermeasures of this matter.

After Yang Shuang left office, the generals under his command were temporarily under Yang Guang's control and dispatch, so most of the people who were ordered to come to discuss the emergency military situation today were Yang Shuang's old subordinates, except for Li Che, Duan Da and others. These people are all experienced in a hundred battles, licking blood with knives, and killing with a knife and a gun, and they are quite dissatisfied with Yang Guang's position as a temporary marshal of this hairy boy, and they still hear that the Turks sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass, and they see that a big battle is coming again, so they don't take Yang Guang seriously.

Yan Rong, the head of the march, who was pardoned from the prison cell in the army before Yang Shuang left his post and returned to Beijing, accosted the first one: "Lord Wang, what is there to do about this, the Turks are attacking, let's send troops to beat them up, don't you have to drive them back." Ask the prince to issue a token to the last general, Yan Rong is willing to lead the army out of the customs and fight to the death with the Turks. ”
