"Li Keyong has left the Tang Army's camp. How many troops are left in the Tang Army's camp? What other generals are under Li Yuanji's command?"

Many years of military career have also allowed Yang Gao to develop excellent military qualities. He knows himself and his enemy, and can fight without danger in a hundred battles. Intelligence is the first in a hundred battles.

"Your Majesty, the villain took the risk and sneaked outside the Tang Army camp. He also captured two Tang Army outposts and has clearly found out the situation of the Tang Army."

Several scouts were also meticulous and bold: "After Li Keyong led his army to leave, there were still about 50,000 Tang troops stationed there. In addition to Li Yuanji, there were also generals Xin Yunjing, Lu Ju, Liu Yanqing, and supervisors. Pei Ji and Tong Guan stay behind."

Yang Gao nodded approvingly, waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and receive the reward!"

"My dear friends, I have decided to leave the border and attack the Tang army's camp to respond to Yue Pengju. What do you think?"

Yang Gao looked around at the civil and military ministers in the hall and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty said very well."

All the civil and military ministers agreed.

"General Lin Renzhao."

Yang Gao took an order arrow. Lin Renzhao heard the words and held his hands under the tent to obey the order.

"I know that you are always cautious in using troops. This time I personally lead the army to attack Li Yuanji's camp. Tumen Pass will be left to you to guard, and I will leave my back to Aiqing."

"The last general takes command!"

Lin Renzhao was excited when he heard this, and said impassionedly: "As long as the general is still alive, there will be no difference in Tumenguan."

"According to the information from the Sentinel Cavalry and the Jinyi Guards, the Turkic reinforcements led by Temujin will arrive at Jingxing in the near future."

Yang Gao took another command arrow and said loudly: "Geng Yan, Wang Yin, and Wen Yang listen to the order. I order you and the other three to lead an army of 30,000 to support General Xue Rengui in Guguan to the west, and beware of Temujin's reinforcements." .”

"I will obey your orders!"

Generals Geng Yan, Wen Yang, and Wang Yin all clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"The rest of the generals, follow me to attack the Tang army's camp and capture Li Yuanji alive!"

"His Majesty!"

Xue Rengui was at Guguan in the west. Chang Yuchun, who was currently the leader of the military, came out and said: "Your Majesty has dispatched 30,000 troops and horses to Guguan. General Lin Renzhao led the army to stay at Tumen Pass. Our army has all the available troops." Less than 70,000, this is not enough to attack the Tang army camp. Although Li Yuanji is incompetent, the tens of thousands of Tang troops under his command are elites who have been on the battlefield. "

Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "General Chang, this time I am going to attack the Tang Army camp with not 70,000 troops, but 50,000!"

"fifty thousand!"

Chang Yuchun was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, is this possible?"

"General Chang is worrying too much!"

Yang Gao still smiled and said: "I have never said that I would attack the Tang army's camp. I have to think more about the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty and reduce casualties as much as possible."

Chang Yuchun reacted instantly, also showed a smile, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Thank you a lot, old thief Li Yuan!"

Yang Gao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "If the Tang army is still led by Chai Rong and Guo Ziyi, I really don't have much confidence. But now it is replaced by Li Yuanji. Hum, the old thief Li Yuan uses his son so highly, I I can guarantee that if this old thief is defeated in the future, Li Yuanji will definitely be the culprit."

All the civil and military officials under the tent nodded together and expressed their approval of this matter.

. . . . . . . . . .

Not long after, 50,000 elite Sui troops left the border under the leadership of Yang Gao. Pairs of infantry and cavalry staggered out, with flags flying in the sky and a forest of swords and guns. They stopped a mile outside the Tang army's camp.

Yang Gao rode out and stared coldly at the Tang Army camp not far away, murderous intent surging in his eyes. Behind them, fifty thousand troops stood solemnly, forming neat square formations.

Yang Gao waved his hand, and a Sui army galloped out, bowed and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow into the Tang army's camp.

Li Yuanji had also heard the news and came to the sentry tower behind the camp gate to observe the situation of the Sui army. The Tang sergeant who picked up the arrow book hurriedly presented the letter to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to read Yang Gao's letter, but he felt that it was so easy to be ridiculed by Yang Gao, so he finally took the letter and opened it and read it.

After reading it roughly, Li Yuanji's face had become extremely ugly. Yang Gao mocked him extremely in the letter. It was best to say in a condescending tone: "Li Yuanji, I know that there are still some people left in your camp." With an army of fifty thousand, I will give you a chance for a fair duel. I only have fifty thousand soldiers and horses with me now. If you still think you are a decent man, go out to the camp and fight me to the death. If you don’t dare, you will do it in the future. Wear the skirt I gave you for the rest of your life."

"Little Yang Gao, I swear to kill you!"

Li Yuanji was furious and yelled: "Come out of the camp and fight to the death with Yang Gao'er. I will break Yang Gao'er's body into thousands of pieces, smash his body into thousands of pieces!"

"Your Highness, think twice!"

Xin Yunjing and other generals who were left behind in the camp were shocked when they heard this. They all stepped forward to persuade Li Yuanji and said: "Your Highness, the elite of our army have followed the prince to attack Yue Fei's camp. There are still many auxiliary soldiers and soldiers in the army left behind. The wounded soldiers are not strong in combat and are really not suitable for leaving the camp to fight the Sui army in a decisive battle!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please think twice before you act on national affairs!"

"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. When the prince and the little prince Wokuotai return victorious, it will not be too late for us to fight Yang Gao decisively!"

At this moment, the two flags in the Sui army separated. General Chang Yuchun rode out and shouted: "Li Yuanji, do you still remember me, Chang Yuchun? If you have the guts today, come out and fight to the death with me." , otherwise, when you fall into my hands, I will reward you with another fifty pieces!"

"Leave camp, fight, fight!"

During the Luoyang War, Li Yuanji was captured by Chang Yuchun. He was beaten severely by Chang Yuchun because of his arrogant words. Li Yuanji once considered it a lifelong shame. Now that he heard the original owner openly mocking him in person, Li Yuanji was so angry that he completely lost his mind. , yelling: "Kill out and cut Yang Gao, the little thief, Chang Yuchun into pieces!"

"temple..."

Xin Yunjing and other Tang army generals wanted to persuade him again, but Li Yuanji had already cut the crossbar of the sentry tower in front of him into two pieces with one sword, and glanced at everyone viciously: "Whoever dares to persuade you again, this is what will happen!"

Li Yuanji had been in charge of the Tang army for some time, taking over from Chai Rong and Guo Ziyi. All the generals in the Tang army were well aware of Li Yuanji's cruelty. Seeing how ferocious Li Yuanji was at this time, he knew in his heart that if he tried to persuade Li Yuanji to really dare to draw his sword and kill someone, he would be helpless. He could only carry out Li Yuanji's military orders, comforting himself that Yang Gao only brought 50,000 people, and secretly praying for a miracle to happen.

"Kill me, capture Yang Gao alive, capture Chang Yuchun alive!"

The sound of drums in the Tang army's camp was loud and earth-shattering. Li Yuanji clapped his horse and raised his halberd, leading the Tang army to rush out. Yang Gao also raised his Fangtian painted halberd and led his elite Sui army forward bravely.

The two armies collided violently and started a decisive battle in the wilderness. Swords, spears, swords and halberds, war horses neighing, the sounds of fighting and roaring came one after another for a long time.
