Chapter 197: Putting a long line to catch big fish

Chen Yingliang, a friendly colleague, has always been very trustworthy. After resting for a day and two nights, although the army was still very tired, Chen Yingliang still abides by the agreement with the King of Kings, returns the old camp to the friendly army, leads Qiao Peng's friendly army out of the camp to the north, and builds a new camp ten miles ahead of the friendly army, selflessly standing at the forefront, standing directly at the forefront of the confrontation with the Turkic army.

Regarding Chen Yingliang's righteous act, the small army of Wang Youjun, led by Yinshi Division, praised Chen Yingliang for his loyalty, and also extended a helping hand to help Qiao Peng Sui Army establish a camp. However, Li Yuan led the Taiyuan Wang Youjun without any expression. He still stationed troops on the west side of the camp of Yinshi Division and other friendly troops, hiding in the safety of Qiao Peng Sui Army behind Qiao Peng Sui Army. At the same time, Chen Yingliang and Li Yuan, the two largest leaders of the Wang Youjun Army, still did not meet each other. After saying the previous sentence, they both acted in a heartless manner.

Li Yuan's attitude was not surprising. However, the Turkic actions made Chen Yingliang a little puzzled. Judging from the activities of the Turkic scouts, the situation of Qiao Peng Sui army arriving at the Xinkou battlefield must have been known by the Turkic side. However, one or two nights passed, and the Turkic side did not take advantage of Chen Yingliang's tired opportunity to launch an attack. At the same time, the scouts sent by the Yinshi Division also brought news that the Turkic army had not stopped attacking Han County, but also concentrated its forces to the south of Han County to establish a camp in the direction.

Chen Yingliang and Yinshishi were a little confused about this situation, and they were not sure whether the Turkic army was underestimating the enemy's carelessness and despising their own army. They planned to capture Han County first, cut off the Sui army's path of being the king, calmly break through Yanmen and take down Emperor Yang of Sui, and then turn around to deal with the Sui army's guardianship? Or did they pretend to underestimate the enemy's carelessness and lure the Sui army to take the initiative to attack, and then use cavalry and shooting to break the enemy in the field battles that the Turks are best at? At the same time, because they do not understand Shibi Khan's military style, neither Chen Yingliang nor Yinshishishishishishishishi could judge the true intention of the Turkic army.

Fortunately, when Qiao Peng Sui Army was nervously setting up camp, Li Jing came to Chen Yingliang again, and used a sign to congratulate Chen Yingliang and visit and study. He was openly reconnaissing the situation of Qiao Peng Sui Army's camp. He glanced at the key points of Qiao Peng Sui Army's camp, peeking at key facilities such as granaries, stables, secret whistles, guardhouses, watchtowers and generals' tents, which made Qiao Peng generals who were setting up camp furious, and Chen Yingliang was somewhat unhappy. Unfortunately, Li Jing was not satisfied. When he saw that the fortifications of the Sui Army in Qiao County were as solid and perfect as the front camp, Li Jing laughed and said, "No wonder Ambassador Li said behind his back envoy was suspicious and careful, and he built the rear camp facing friendly troops so strong. He was indeed careful."

"There is no way. Our military camp is ten miles away from friendly forces, so you must be careful."

Chen Yingliang replied lightly, and then quickly invited Li Jing to the central army tent to discuss matters. Li Jing followed Chen Yingliang back to the central army. On the way, he kept praising Chen Yingliang for his good governance of the army, establishing the camp rigorously and orderly, and was worthy of being the latest rising star of the Sui Dynasty. Chen Yingliang was perfunctory and modest, but Li Jing suddenly said, "It is just that the right camp is a little weak. It is a cautious choice to give up the river beach to avoid the sudden outbreak of mountain torrents. However, after giving out the river beach space, it gives the enemy room for detour to attack. Xiaguan thinks that it is best to add another thousand troops to that area."

He looked at the right camp in surprise. Chen Yingliang then realized that the right camp facing the Hutuo River was indeed a bit insufficient. In order to avoid the sudden outbreak of mountain torrents and impact the camp, too much river beach area was given, giving the enemy room for detour attack. However, due to the protection of the Hutuo River natural danger, there were fewer troops stationed there. Once the enemy surrounded the camp and attacked the right camp, the right camp was most likely to be broken through first. In a secret shock, Chen Yingliang quickly adjusted the right camp garrison according to Li Jing's instructions, and dug a trench to protect it carefully. Then Chen Yingliang couldn't help but look at Li Jing again and said in his heart: "Is this guy really want to help me?"

Li Jing made Chen Yingliang unable to understand the place was still behind. After entering the Central Army tent, no outsiders were present. Li Jing took the initiative to take out a mountain and river terrain map and handed it to Chen Yingliang, and explained: "The terrain sand table I made before has been taken to his Central Army tent by Ambassador Li. Fortunately, I also drew a mountain and river terrain map with my own hand. If the deputy envoy does not dislike it, he can use it."

After taking the map presented by Li Jing, he opened it and found that this was a very detailed and clear geographical map of mountains and rivers. He drew the big and small roads from Xiurong to Yanmen Pass, which were wide, narrow, and far, and marked the height of the peaks along the way, the width of the river and the water sources and streams everywhere. With this map, he could create a new sand table immediately. Chen Yingliang was inevitably confused and could not judge Li Jing's true intentions. In the end, Chen Yingliang could only hand over the map to the master Yuan Tiangang to identify the authenticity, and then thank Li Jing respectfully. Li Jing laughed and said, "You have to be polite, this is just a matter of course."

After finding that he was increasingly unable to understand Li Jing, in order to continue to test his sincerity in surrender and to find out another doubt in his heart, Chen Yingliang asked Li Jing, who was familiar with the Turkic situation, why the Turkic army was still attacking Gan County. Li Jing did not even think about it and replied casually: "The Turkic army did not move, of course, to cut off our reinforcements to go north to seek the king's path. After the Turkic attack on the sage, he besieged Yanmen, which was the reason why our Sui reinforcements were difficult to gather for a while. Time was very precious to the Turkic. Capturing Gan County could win a buffer, delaying the advance speed of our King's army, and buying time for them to capture Yanmen. Going south to resist our reinforcements would only waste time. Although the Shibi thief chief was a barbarian in the foreign country, the priorities were still clear."

"But our reinforcements have arrived one after another?" Chen Yingliang asked, "Are you not afraid of attacking Gan County with all your strength? There is a flaw in the back and we stabbed it in the back?"

"The Turks are not afraid." Li Jing replied quickly, "There are two reasons. First, the Turks rely on their cavalry and shooting advantages, and feel that they are invincible in the field, and they are not afraid of our attack. Second, to be honest, the deputy envoy, don't mind the deputy envoy. You don't take your troops seriously. You are confident that you can fight on both sides and win on both sides, so you dare to attack the city while standing in charge."

"Is the Turks so confident?" Chen Yingliang sneered.

"The Turks have this confidence." Li Jing nodded and explained with a smile: "The Great Sui Dynasty and the Turks have not had a large-scale war for fourteen years. The famous Sui Dynasty generals such as Yang Su, Shi Wansui and Changsun Sheng who defeated the Turks several times have all passed away one after another. The Turks also have some understanding of this. They feel that since these old enemies are dead, there is no one who can defeat the Turks in the Central Plains. With this idea, it is naturally not surprising that 50,000 Turks despise your 20,000 infantrymen, who are the deputy envoys."

"Good job." Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "I don't need to be too long. As long as you can completely confuse him and keep the troops within three days, then my main force will arrive at Xinkou in three days. By then, my army is stronger than him, and I can just take on the burden of serving the commander-in-chief with justice, and there is no need to worry about this kid playing tricks."

Li Jing nodded with a smile, thanked Li Yuan for his praise, but Li Yuan was in a good mood and said, "There is another good news to tell you. I just received a letter from a quick horse. My second son Li Shimin and my beloved son-in-law Chai Shao have also joined the army of the Zuotun Guard to support the king and are rushing towards Xinkou. After hearing the grudge between them and Chen Xiaozhei, don't you really want to see them? Then I let you know them. You must get along well and work together to assist me in serving the king and saving the horse. After the matter is completed, I will never treat you badly."

"The Second Young Master and Mr. Chai are here too?" Li Jing was stunned at first, then immediately showed a happy smile and said with a grin: "That's great, they are here too. Can you see with your own eyes that you have avenged them?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, his smile as ferocious as Li Jing.

As Chen Yingliang expected, in the afternoon of the same day, the scout of Qiao Peng Sui army who went to Ziyuyuan's back mountain road to reconnaissance was indeed detected by the Turkic army's post arranged by the Turkic army on the Ziyuyuan high ground. However, these Turkic spies did not alarm the snake and drove away the scout of Qiao Peng Sui army. According to the order of Shibi Khan's brother Ashina, the Scout of Sui army, deliberately allowed the scout of Sui army to return after reconnaissance, and at the same time, they led the incident to Ashina.

"The damn barbarians of the Central Plains are indeed trying to beat Yu Yuan." After reporting this, Ashina Society first cursed and sneered: "Come on, if you like to beat Yu Yuan, just come on. Our Turkic army cannot station troops on the mountain, but we are not afraid that you will station troops in Yu Yuan."
