Hearing that Xue Shixiong only sent two Yingyang Mansions to support Yanbei, he was very surprised to travel west.

"The situation in the north and south is clear now, and the decisive battle is imminent. Why didn't Ming Gong devote all the main force of Northeast Road to enter the Daibei battlefield?"

As soon as this was said, a trace of ominous thought flashed through his mind when he was traveling west. Galan's rise was too fast. Although his family background was prominent, his royal relatives, and he was even more a heroic battlefield player, he was so young that he was at such a high position and was deeply favored by the emperor. With time, his future was limitless. If no one was jealous, it would be self-deception. Could it be that Xue Shixiong would watch the Yanbei army lose all its losses to weaken Galan's power and firmly restrain him? Or was it because of some unknown political reason that forced Xue Shixiong to change his attitude towards Galan?

Galan saw his doubts in his eyes when he walked west, smiled and shook his head, "Don't doubt Ming Gong. With our understanding of Ming Gong, he must have something else to do."

The journey west was full of doubts and a gloomy heart, but as Xue Shixiong's old subordinate, he still tried his best to force himself to think about it, "Does Ming Gong think that once Shibi Khan and the main force of the Northern Barbarians fall into our siege, the Turks fall into unprecedented difficulties? Due to the overall interests of the tent and the Turks, Chi Jishe had to launch a large army to attack Yanbei fiercely, and then form a pincer attack on our Yanbei army. Once our Yanbei army is surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, the situation of the battle will inevitably be overturned. From this prediction, the time when Ming Gong delayed entering Yanbei was obviously aimed at Chi Jishe, but..."

Jialan shook his hand at the westward journey and stopped him from saying, "Believe in Ming Gong, no matter when and where, we must believe in Ming Gong."

Jia Lan said this and felt uneasy. He didn't care about his life and death, nor did he care about whether the Yanbei Army would lose all his losses. He had already devoted all his hopes to change the history of the empire in this decisive battle, and even if he died with the Northern Barbarians, he would do whatever he wanted. What he was afraid of was the insufficient military strength of the Yanbei Army, especially worried that Chi Jishe would enter Yanbei at the critical moment of the decisive battle and stab him hard in the back, and that would be completely lost.

After repeated weighing the pros and cons, Galan wrote a sincere letter to Xue Shixiong late at night. In one sentence. Since the emperors have arrived in Yanmen, they are fighting with the Northern Territory on the front line of the decisive battle, and they have maintained the fate of the Empire and Middle-earth in this decisive battle, what reason does Xue Shixiong have not to do his best to participate in this decisive battle?

In the letter, Jialan told Xue Shixiong that there were 134 regiments of Yanbei Army, 97 of which were sent to the Bailangsai battlefield, and the other 37 regiments were used as reserve troops, and transported food, weapons and other supplies to the main battlefield during the decisive battle. Because considering the secrets and considering the habit of the Northern Escaping invasion, the decisive battle time could not be too long, Yanbei did not collect corvee labor in this decisive battle. It can be said that the Yanbei Army was just trolling all the bets this time, with the determination to die with the enemy, but the determination to die with the determination, the development of the war may not be as Yanbei wished, and Yanbei still urgently needed support. Jialan begged Xue Shixiong to only give five thousand reinforcements to Yanbei. As long as he could block the invading Chijiset behind the Yanbei Army for a period of time and give Yanbei Army time to die with the Northern Escaping, the decisive battle would eventually achieve the expected goals.

On August 18, Jialan summoned the military congress of officers above the Yanbei military commander level and read out the emperor's edict. He formally issued an order to carry out a decisive battle between the north and the south.

The officers of the Yanbei Army have guessed that the purpose of this secret deployment was to launch an attack on the flanks of the invading Beilu Army. Most people consider the unfavorable environment in which Yanbei is located, and they believe that the attack was a surprise and forced the invading Beilu Army to stop the invading. Of course, the best result was to force the Beilu to withdraw to the desert. But no one expected that this was a decisive battle. It was surrounded and encircled and annihilated the main force of the Beilu Army after invading Beilu. This was obviously a tragic battle, especially for Yanbei, behind it, there was also the army of Chijishe Ashinadua. Once Chijishe entered the Great Wall, it would not be the main force of the invading Beilu Army that was surrounded by the invading Beilu Army, but was surrounded by the Beilu Army and was in danger of being wiped out by the entire army.

Faced with the officers' concerns, Galan "moved" the emperor and Xue Shixiong without hesitation.

The emperor went north to Taiyuan to prepare for this decisive battle as early as March 17. It has been five months since then. You can imagine how much preparation the emperor did in the early stage and how many troops he secretly hoarded in the Taiyuan area. Xue Shixiong of Zhuo County has also completed the assembly of the main army of Northeast Road, and his vanguard army is rushing to Yanbei. If nothing unexpected happens, they will appear on the decisive battle battlefield in a few days. Therefore, the Yanbei army does not need to worry that it has no reinforcements, nor does it need to worry that Yanbei will be attacked by Chi Jishe.

In a word, this is a carefully prepared decisive battle, a decisive battle with certainty. The mission of Yan Bei Army is to seize the White Wolf Pass, cut the invading Northern Gate army into two pieces, and then defend the White Wolf Pass to death, block the retreating Northern Gate main force in front of it, and intercept the Bei Lu army behind it that came to meet its main force to retreat. Every extra day of Yan Bei Army can help the emperor and imperial army kill more enemy soldiers. If Yan Bei Army can hold on to the White Wolf Pass until the victory of the decisive battle, then its achievements will be recorded in history.

Galan successfully boosted morale, and in addition, the series of preliminary preparations carried out by the Yanbei Army under Galan's order over the past few months were fully completed. The officers were all energetic and full of belief in winning the decisive battle.

On the same day, Shibi Khan and Mo Heduo commanded the main force of the Northern Territory to continue to attack Yanmen City.

On the same day, the Turkic general Kang Sumi commanded the Northern Territory Selection Army to continue to attack Jincheng.

On the same day, Dongdu received the news that the emperor and the palace were surrounded by the northern captive army in Yanmen. Yang Tong, the King of Yue, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital, rushed to the Shangshu Province and summoned the central minister in Beijing, the officials of the three towers and nine temples in the five provinces, and the generals of the Twelve Guards to discuss the plan to serve the king. At the same time, Yang You, the King of Dai who was left behind in Xijing, also summoned the powerful officials in Guanzhong to discuss the matter of serving the king.

Most of the powerful people in the two capitals were skeptical about the news that the emperor and the palace were surrounded by the northern barbarians in Yanmen. The reason is very simple. From ancient times to the present, the invasion of the northern barbarians has reached a very small number of times of invasion of hundreds of thousands of control strings, and they were all at a time when the Central Earth was in chaos and weak. But today, Zhongtu just won the Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition, which was so powerful that the world was dominating the world. No one dared to be the sharp edge of the empire. In this case, the northern barbarians dared to invade with hundreds of thousands of control strings. Where did they get the courage? Besides, since the emperor and the palace knew that the northern barbarians were roaring down hundreds of thousands of control strings, they still dared to go to Yanmen to fight face to face with the northern barbarians? Who believes this? No one believes it.

Most powerful people believed that the emperor had been in Taiyuan for five months, clamoring for the Northern Gate to invade every day. Now he finally hoped that the Northern Gate would invade. Of course, he had to show off his powers, and of course he had to toss the Central Committee and Central Earth to the sky, and then use this to prove his wiseness, improve his prestige, and write his glory.

In short, this matter is not credible. The emperor is now completely crazy, extravagant, and it is fine if he is too extravagant, but now he is getting worse and he actually goes to the northern border to "direct and act" a "farce" of the invasion of the Northern Territories. The powerful people of the two capitals lamented that if the emperor continues to "make trouble" like this, the country's destiny will be unimaginable.

Of course, there are also some powerful bureaucrats who are loyal to the emperor and the empire who believe in this news and strongly demand that the king be responsible immediately. However, considering the current chaotic situation of domestic rebellions, they suggest concealing the news and never revealing the emperor's in danger in the northern border and the central government's proposal to go north to serve the king, so as not to slap themselves in the face, further weaken the authority of the emperor and the central government, and then further chaotic the domestic situation, and even unstoppable ambitions of local forces for separatist tyrants. To this end, they suggest urgently dispatching the main force of the garrison army in the two capitals to go north to Yanmen to serve the king.

However, the news that the emperor was in danger in the northern border was leaked out at the first time. First, it was known to both capitals, and then it quickly spread to the surrounding counties. The news became more and more outrageous, but its main content still revolved around the emperor, saying that the emperor would launch the northern expedition after the Eastern Expedition, but the Northern Seals knew about it. In horror, he took the initiative to take action first, hundreds of thousands of control strings roared down, and caught the emperor off guard. The emperor shot himself in the foot and was surrounded by the Northern Seals. He was in danger all day long and only knew that he would hold his young son, Yang Gao, crying in the sky and shouting for the earth. When the Eastern Capital heard the news, he immediately summoned the army to serve the king. In this way, he would recruit troops from the local area, collect grain, and collect labor service. The nobles and generals of the empire were going to suffer again.

The spread of rumors is very terrible and the bad effects it causes are also very terrible. However, Dongdu was ignorant. Yang Tong and the officials who supported the king were still working hard day and night to convince opponents. The emperor surrounded by the Northern Territory was even less aware. While commanding the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen to fight fiercely with the Northern Territory, he pondered how to control the political situation of the empire after the victory of the decisive battle, in the direction he planned.

Neither the emperor nor the central government knew that at this moment, most of the nobles in the many aristocratic groups of the empire had betrayed them and betrayed them, and even used them to slander them, trampled on them, and attacked them unscrupulously while further weakening the authority of the emperor and the central government, and further intensified the contradictions within the empire and further pushed the empire to the brink of collapse.

On the same day, Xue Shixiong received a letter from Jia Lan. Before that, he also received news from Taiyuan that the emperor went to Yanmen to the north, the fall of the Juzhu Fortress and the emperor was surrounded by the Northern Territory in Yanmen City.

Facts have proved that Galan's prediction of the situation in the north and south is correct, and it is also correct for the emperor to personally go to the northern border to guard the towns. All kinds of condemnation, curse and distrust of the emperor and the center are wrong.
