Half a month later, Yang Guang finally made an order to start his journey back to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Because Gao Qi's exploits were the most outstanding in this battle, Yang Guang specially indicated that in the future, the northern counties would be dispatched by Gao Qi.
In the end, at Gao Qi's request, Yang Guang left Li Shimin to continue to serve as the county guard of Xihe and assist Gao Qi.
And the most important point is that Yang Guang left Zhang Shigui and Su Dingfang to Gao Qi as the mainstay of the resistance to the Hu people.
This couldn't help but make Gao Qi secretly happy in his heart, others didn't know the ability of Su Lie's second general, but Gao Qi knew it very well.
In fact, the reason why Gao Qi asked to keep Li Shimin was nothing more than two points.
One of them is that due to the chaotic entry of Genghis Khan Temujin and Wanyan Agu, the pressure on Gao Qi doubled.
Having Li Shimin as a deputy can at least reduce the pressure.
The second is that Gao Qi knows that Li Shimin will be his great enemy in the future, and now he can improve the goodwill of the two parties, and I believe it will be useful After Yang Guangnan's return, Gao Qi focused on military and political affairs.
Due to the capture of tens of thousands of horses in this battle, Yang Guang ordered that some of the captured horses be distributed to the border armies participating in the war.
Among them, Yanmen County, where Gao Qi is located, got 5,000 horses.
At this point, the total strength of the Yanmen army reached 30,000, including 4,000 cavalry.
Therefore, Gao Qi commanded Zhao Yun and Zhang Shigui, who were good at commanding cavalry, respectively. and Zhao Yun formed a light cavalry named Flying Eagle; Zhang Shigui formed a heavy cavalry, called the Falcon Cavalry.
The light cavalry numbered 3,000 and the heavy cavalry numbered 5,000.
Next, Gao Qi appointed Zhang He as the presidential marshal of the infantry army, supplemented by Su Lie and Huang Zhong, and stepped up the training of soldiers and horses.
In the end, Gao Qi also personally appointed Wen Ping as the general of Yanmen Pass, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the city and monitor the outside of the fortress.
And his good brother Captain Chen Dao, Gao Qi did not forget that the task given to him was to train an elite guard army like iron.
After all the military affairs were arranged, Gao Qi turned his head and said to Wenchen.
Among them, Zhong Xuan is in charge of all matters in Yanmen County, Fa Zheng assists him, and Zao Yi is responsible for all tuntian affairs in the county.
Everything is ready, and Yanmen is gradually on the right track.
Gradually, after a period of time, due to the great damage to the Turkic vitality in this war, Gu Yi, whether it was Temujin's succession to the throne or Wanyan Aguta, did not rush out of the army, but reorganized the army for war.
And since everything in Yanmen County has just begun to develop, both sides have tacitly chosen to avoid war.
For a time, the frontier fell into a brief period of peace.
Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain Range has many east-west horizontal valleys, and it has been a traffic artery and a thoroughfare for business and travel since ancient times.
In ancient times, there was a famous "Taihang Eight Mountains".
And now in the Taihang Mountains, there are three armies like rogue soldiers stationed relatively well.
These are the three teams after the split of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Yanbu, Huangchaobu, and Cheng Yuanzhi.
Among the three-legged standing, Zhang Yan's department only has 20,000 horses, and the strength is the weakest, but it is better than Zhang Yan's advanced mountain and occupies a favorable terrain.
Although the strength is weak, the location can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is enough for self-protection.
And Cheng Yuanzhi's department also has 10,000 yellow turban wrestlers, so its strength is not up or down.
And the most powerful one is Huang Chao, because Huang Chao has the most troops, after entering the mountain, with its own ability, swept away one bandit force after another in the mountain.
Therefore, today's Huangchao has more than 80,000 soldiers, and its strength cannot be underestimated Cheng Yuanzhi Department "Now that the power of the Huangchao Department is getting stronger and stronger, its strength far exceeds that of our army, what should I do?"
"For now, the only way to do this is to persuade Zhang Yan to form an alliance with our army to resist Huangchao."
I saw that the person was slender and had a scarce beard on his chin, and he said lightly.
This person is Cheng Gongying, who came out of the table, and the implanted identity is Cheng Yuanzhi's army.
"Hey, the alliance Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was abandoned by Huang Chao's order, and he hated my yellow scarf to the core, will he agree to form an alliance?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help but sigh and said slowly.
"Don't worry, Qu Shuai, Zhang Yan is not a stupid person, he should be able to understand that if one side of our army is destroyed, the other family will not be able to resist the attack of the Yellow Nest alone."
"Our two armies can only resist together, not together, otherwise they will definitely not be Huangchao's opponents, and sooner or later they must be annexed."
Hearing this, I saw Cheng Gongying arching his hand and gradually analyzing it carefully.
Hearing that Cheng Gongying's words were reasonable, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately praised it, and then he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent an envoy to Zhang Yan's department.
A few days later, as Cheng Gongying expected, the envoy returned and explained to Cheng Yuanzhi that Zhang Yan was willing to form an alliance and fight against Huang Chao together.
"Report, the marshal of our army scouts sent a wire report that Zhang Yan's department and Cheng Yuanzhi's department have reached a consensus and formed an alliance to jointly resist our army."
In just two days, the news of Zhang Yan and Cheng Yuanzhi's alliance reached Huangchao.
Hearing this, Huang Chao couldn't help but ponder.

After a moment, I saw Huang Chao slowly stand up, with an indifferent smile on his face.
"Report, Qu Shuai Huang Chao raised an army of 50,000 and rushed towards our army."
In Zhang Yan's department, a scout was urgently reporting to Zhang Yan the news of the attack led by Huang Chao.
After hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "It's really fast."
Immediately, Zhang Yan immediately summoned his subordinates, all in place, and prepared for battle.
After the Huangchao army arrived at the Zhangyan defense area, they did not immediately attack, but cut down trees and built camps.
Zhang Yan, who was in Guancheng, couldn't help but be puzzled when she heard this scene, and said secretly: "What is Huang Chao trying to do, is it trying to trap me?"
"But the roads of Taihang Mountain are densely packed, can they really trap me, it is impossible for him Huangchao not to know this truth."
"Since this is not the reason, then what is the real intention of the Yellow Nest?"
Just said that for a while, many questions suddenly arose in Zhang Yan's mind, and she was at a loss Since there was no solution, Zhang Yan did not dare to lead the army to attack rashly and raid the Huangchao army, for fear of falling into the Huangchao conspiracy by mistake.
Therefore, with 20,000 soldiers, he could only watch the Huangchao army cut down trees and build camps.
And he didn't dare to slack off if he wanted to, so he hurriedly wrote a letter asking for help and instructed his cronies to rescue Cheng Yuanzhi.
Seeing that the Huang Chao Army was building a camp and was unable to do anything, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
And the Huang Chao army below didn't dare to attack their own side, so they couldn't help but speed up even more, and they were all in full swing.
However, after a long time, the scale of the camp has taken shape.
"What, you said that Huang Chao led the army to attack Zhang Yan on a large scale, so why didn't our army get a little rumor?"
only said that after Cheng Yuanzhi received Zhang Yan's letter asking for help, he couldn't help but open it and take a look, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he asked eagerly.
"Because the Huangchao army did not attack, but wantonly cut down trees and built barracks under our army's pass, trying to trap our army."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's cronies couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Okay, you go down to rest first, and wait for me to discuss with the general the plan to send troops to rescue Zhang Yan."
Cheng Gongying, who was on the side, heard this, so he prevaricated and retired Zhang Yan's cronies.
Cheng Yuanzhi saw it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Strategist, what does this mean?"
"Because there is something strange about this matter, rashly sending troops will suffer a big loss" The great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
