A strong smell of blood filled the air on the battlefield. The thirty thousand West Ocean soldiers had successfully gathered with Yuwen Cheng and the others.
The Turkic encirclement was also torn apart.
Yang Ji rode his Dark Stallion towards the direction of Yanmen Pass. The road was filled with corpses and no one dared to stop him.
"His Highness the King of Qin's title as the War God of Great Sui is well-deserved!”
Lai Hu 'er sighed.
At this time, the Yanmen Pass was wide open. Yang Guang stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked at Yang Ji below.
Yang Ji also looked up at this moment. This was the first time the grandfather and grandson had met in many years.
The grandfather and grandson were extremely calm and did not communicate with each other.
"March."
Yang Ji withdrew his gaze and led the West Ocean Army into Yanmen Pass.
After entering the city gates, the gates closed, and the Turkic army retreated some distance away from Yanmen Pass, temporarily easing the battle.
"If it weren't for His Highness the King of Qin, I'm afraid the Yanmen Pass would have been broken.”
Li Yuan sighed. At this critical moment, it was fortunate that the King of Qin had arrived in time.
Yang Guang, who was on the city wall, walked toward the meeting hall accompanied by two close ministers. The other generals, Yang Ji, and the others also gathered in the meeting hall.
"After this battle, the Turks have suffered heavy losses. In my opinion, the Turkic army is probably planning to retreat.”
Li Yuan said.
"The reason for this is because of His Highness the King of Qin's intimidation of the Turks.”
Yuwen Cheng said.
Ever since he was born, he had never thought that anyone could be compared to him in terms of bravery.
However, there was one exception: the King of Qin who had killed the Turks in the Hexi Corridor years ago.
The King of Qin became famous in one battle and was given the title of War God of Great Sui. Yuwen Cheng lived under the halo of such a character.
In the meeting hall, many officials were giving their opinions regarding this victory. Actually, Yang Guang already knew what should be done.
When the discussion was almost over, everyone realized that the King of Qin and His Majesty had not spoken. They had chosen to remain silent. The atmosphere became inexplicably quiet and strange.
His Majesty had his hands behind his back and looked calm. His Highness the King of Qin lowered his head slightly and looked indifferent.
The hearts of all the officials thumped. Could it be that at this time, there would still be a conflict between the Emperor and the King of Qin?
If that was the case, wouldn't the situation at Yanmen Pass, which had been turned around with great difficulty, change again?
The ministers were worried and wanted to say something, but Yu Shiji and the other old ministers remained calm.
Only old ministers like Yu Shiji could tell from His Majesty's trembling fingers that His Majesty was very excited to see the King of Qin again.
"The discussion is almost over. I will return to the city wall to guard Yanmen Pass.”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He then took the lead and left, followed by the other generals.
Yu Shiji exchanged glances with Su Wei and Yuwen Huaji before leaving.
This time should be left for His Majesty and the King of Qin to have a good chat. After careful calculation, the King of Qin and His Majesty had not seen each other for many years.
The civil officials and generals left one after another, and the huge meeting hall became extremely quiet.
"How has Ji 'er been in recent years?"
Yang Guang took a deep breath and broke the silence.
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment. He did not expect his grandfather, who had always been stubborn and never bowed his head, to talk to him in such a way.
He still remembered that when his grandfather ordered him to attack Tuyuhun, even if his grandfather was unwilling to do so, he still chose to acquiesce in the end and secretly watched Yang Ji leave.
The many years of conflict and confrontation had also turned into a strong kinship at this moment.
"Grandfather, Ji 'er came late to save you and frightened grandfather!”
Yang Ji cupped his hands and said firmly.
Yang Guang's face trembled slightly. This was his real eldest grandson. Although his political views were different and there were many contradictions, in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to have never interacted with anyone.
However, the two of them were grandparents and grandchildren. How could the kinship between them be broken just like that?
"Alright, alright."
Yang Guang laughed loudly. If Yu Shiji and the other close ministers saw this, they would probably be shocked. It had been many years since His Majesty had laughed so heartily.
After that, Yang Ji and his grandfather sat opposite each other and talked about everything they had experienced in the West Ocean over the years.
In the seemingly glorious achievements, wasn't there countless bitterness?
The harsh environment had created an elite army. It had consumed Yang Ji's energy. These would not appear for no reason.
It was all Yang Ji's hard work. Although Yang Guang looked calm on the surface, he felt a little heartache for his most valued eldest grandson.
……
Outside Yanmen Pass.
The thirty thousand Royal Guards who had failed to break through the Turkic defense line were frowning.
"Report! The Turkic defense line has shrunk."
A scout reported at this moment.
Wei Wentong's expression changed slightly. Why was the Turkic defense line suddenly shrinking?
Wei Wentong was the general of Tongguan, and he was also a fierce general. This time, he was the commander of the 30,000 troops.
In the army, the Li siblings, who had led one thousand elites, exchanged glances. The Turkic defense line would not shrink for no reason, and there was definitely a trick to it.
"Sister, if the Turkic defense line is shrinking, does that mean that the Turkic army has encountered something?”
Li Shiming thought for a while.
"That must be the case. The three hundred and fifty thousand Turkic soldiers must have suffered some sort of attack, most likely caused by the charge of the elite cavalry of the Great Sui reinforcements!”
Li Xiu Ning guessed.
Why did he guess that it was cavalry?
If they were infantry, their numbers would be on par with the Turks, and even if they were few in number, they would be no less than two hundred thousand. Even if they were on the outskirts of Yanmen Pass, they would be able to sense the movements of these two hundred thousand soldiers.
However, they had received the news through scouts, which meant that the reinforcements of the Great Sui were not many. The only ones who could force the Turks to shrink their defensive line were the elite cavalry.
"The shrinking of the defensive line might be the time for us to break through the Turkic defensive line and join up with the Yanmen Pass army.”
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up. He was still a young man, but he had a good sense of military affairs.
As the commander, Wei Wentong naturally noticed this opportunity.
"All troops assemble!"
He immediately gave the order that if they broke through the Turkic defense line and joined up with the Yanmen Pass army, they would be able to force the Turkic army back and resolve the crisis at Yanmen Pass.
Hearing the military order, the Li siblings also began to move.
After the army quickly gathered, Wei Wentong took the lead and led the soldiers straight to Yanmen Pass!
