    The Xiaoguo Army with high morale left Chang'an City in the heavy rain and headed west, as if it were a normal outing.  But Yang Zhao knew very well that the high morale was only temporary. Once the battle went unfavorably, the morale of the army would immediately fall to the bottom.

    In fact, Yang Zhao didn¡¯t expect much success from this Xiaoguo Army.  Without formal training, no matter how powerful these soldiers are individually, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a real army.

    So now the next strategic direction of the army is defense.  The Sui army chose a favorable terrain to firmly block the footsteps of the Turks on the opposite side.

    Therefore, Yang Zhao handed over some of the most elite private soldiers to Duan Da and ordered him to cross the Wei River to the north and march westward along the Wei River with the army.  To prevent the Turks from failing to attack by force, they should divide their troops to cross the river and outflank them.

    The front army of the army belonged to Huang Jie, and was mainly composed of the guards of the kings in Beijing.  Most of these troops are well-trained soldiers with strong combat effectiveness and high loyalty. They are the most important strength that Yang Zhao can bring to bear at this time.

    Yang Zhao was impressed by Huang Mingxiang's resourcefulness, so he made him his adviser and went with him on the expedition.

    Compared with Yang Zhao's worries, Huang Mingxiang, who served as his military adviser, was relatively relaxed.  Therefore, although this was Huang Mingxiang's first march and battle, and the opponent was a capable and brave Turkic cavalry, the Sui army was not without the possibility of victory.

    If the Turks choose to march eastward to Chang'an, they can only choose a suitable place to cross the river in advance, and then head east along the south bank of the Weishui River.  This section of the road leads to Laoshui (today's Laoyu River). It is blocked by the Qinling Mountains in the south and the rolling Wei River in the north. The road is narrow and mostly mountainous, which is not conducive to the movement of cavalry.  Moreover, the Sui army deployed defenses along the flood east of the flood, and could effectively rely on the dense water network in Guanzhong and the high mountains here to prevent the detours and penetrations of the Turkic cavalry.

    The Sui army's forward scouts had been dispatched in advance. As soon as Yang Zhao passed Shiping, the scouts reported that a large group of Turkic cavalry had crossed the river from Xi County.

    Yang Zhao quickly ordered all armies to stop advancing and prepare to deploy defenses on the spot, using the waterlogged terrain to block the Turkic cavalry to the west.  Everyone also believed that this approach was the safest. After all, the waterlogged river was very wide, and it would not be easy for the Turkic cavalry to cross the river.

    Huang Mingxiang studied the map and thought silently.  In fact, he had been thinking about the purpose of the Turkic cavalry for several days.

    This number of 30,000 to 40,000 Turkic cavalry is much less, but not much.  Their sudden arrival in Guanzhong indeed made Guanzhong go crazy and left Sui Dynasty in a hurry, but in fact the threat they could pose was really limited.

    So far, he has not received any unfavorable news from his brother about the war on the front line, which shows that the rescue plan is still proceeding in an orderly manner according to his brother's design.  The Turks were still in Guanzhong at this time, which is very intriguing.

    Needless to say, my eldest brother is a meticulous person. Even if King Jin is defeated or even dies, he will consider the next step and minimize the loss.  The elder brother was not surrounded. The last news that came was that the elder brother had successfully defeated the Turks in the Yinshan Mountains and entered the grassland.

    Huang Mingxiang therefore believes that this war may be somewhat different from the massive invasion of Turks that everyone thought before. At this time, I am afraid that King Jin has not been defeated.

    If the main Turkic force really crosses the Yellow River and marches southward, the Turks should choose to attack Chencang at this time, help the army open the path to advance on the western front, and wait to join the main force.

    The biggest question now is how this Turkic people got to Guanzhong. Huang Mingxiang believes that as long as this can be explained, his guess may be straightened out.

    "Your Majesty, General, I think we have to go a little further, at least to go to the county town of Yumu to set up defenses."

    Everyone was stunned when they heard Huang Mingxiang¡¯s suggestion.

    If Huang Mingxiang hadn¡¯t been Yang Zhao¡¯s confidant and stayed with Yang Zhao day and night, everyone would have scolded him long ago.  An underage little furry child, only thirteen or fourteen years old, whose hair has not yet fully grown, what can he know, and dare to comment on this occasion.

    Yang Zhao, however, valued Huang Mingxiang's suggestion very much. Regardless of what everyone was talking about, he asked: "Why did Liu Lang say that?"

    Huang Mingyuan pointed at the map and said to Yang Zhao: "Your Majesty, please see, the latest news on the front line is that both Xiaoguan and Dazhenguan (today's eastern slope of Donglong Mountain, Qingshui County, Gansu) are still in the hands of our army, which shows that this Turkic people are actually  It is the only Turkic army in Guanzhong. No matter how it entered Guanzhong before, it is actually surrounded by our Sui Dynasty. Unless Bujia Khan's army can quickly attack Guanzhong. Now the army of King Qing Zhang is still  We can reach Chang'an in four days. Do you think the main force of the Turks can enter Guanzhong within four days?"

    Yang Zhao shakesHead, although I don¡¯t know how this Turkic people entered Guanzhong, it is absolutely impossible that Bujia Khan¡¯s hundreds of thousands of troops could travel from Lingzhou to Guanzhong so quickly.

    Huang Mingxiang turned to everyone and continued: "So this Turkic force entering Guanzhong will actually be wiped out by our army at any time. Do you think they will attack Chang'an without hesitation? Although Chang'an's military strength is very empty, almost  It¡¯s undefended, but the prince knows it, I know it, but the Turks may not know it.¡±

    At this time, Yang Zhao seemed to have understood what Huang Mingxiang meant, but he still couldn't grasp some key points.

    "What does Rokuro mean?"

    "Your Majesty, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Turks, I would definitely choose a proper attack route so that their troops could return along the original route before our reinforcements arrive. You must know that the time left for the Turks is at most five days. In  Within five days, the Turks will fight, and they will have to withdraw from Guanzhong after winning. Under such circumstances, if he dares to come east, then his target of attack will never be Chang'an. If the Turks want to return as planned, so  His attack range can only be here."

    ¡°As he spoke, Huang Mingxiang drew a circle on the urn.

    "What?" Yang Zhao was a little suspicious.  "What are they doing here? There is no suitable target here."

    Huang Mingxiang shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, there are many here."

    At this time, Yang Zhao seemed to understand. He hurriedly came to the map and said loudly: "The Turks are going to attack the Yishou Third Palace. They are trying to plunder the supplies here."

    Huang Mingxiang nodded.

    At this time, Yang Zhao felt as if he had been enlightened, and at the same time, he suddenly felt confident.  As long as the Turks' goal is not Chang'an, then the Sui Dynasty can pay any price.

    As for the three palaces of longevity and longevity, the Sui Dynasty still suffered losses.

    Since the other side wants to attack the Three Palaces of Yishou, the Sui army can no longer hold on to Yusi County.  Because Yishou Sangong is located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains in the southeast of Yuxi, it is a summer resort.

    Yang Zhao slammed the table and said to everyone: "Since the Turks want to take advantage of the weakness of our army to bite our army, then we will let the Turks break a few teeth." (Recorder)  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
