Chapter 455 The storm is coming!

Great Sui Dynasty.

Half a year ago, the Sui Dynasty court was still troubled by the reactionary forces headed by Li Yuan of Taiyuan.

Yang Lin, the patron king, sent troops many times to vindicate the rebellion, but all ended in disastrous defeats.

But after Yu Wenhua, the commander of the imperial army, recommended Yu Wentuo in the court, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Yuwen Tuo was granted the title of Grand Master by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He was in charge of military power and led his troops northward to redress the rebellion.

After just one battle, the Li Clan's forces were torn apart, defeated and fled to the far north.

Then Yuwen Tuo and his backer king Yang Lin divided their forces into two groups to deal with rebellions in various places.

In just a few months, the rebels in various places were suppressed and eliminated one after another, and the court's prestige suddenly increased.

Yuwen Tuo relied on his own efforts to turn things around and save the crumbling Sui Dynasty.

The Li clan was hiding in the north. If they continued to go north, they would be the territory of the foreign tribes in the north. They wanted to go south, but they could not stop the imperial court's offensive. They were in a dilemma for a while and found it difficult to move forward.

After Yuwen Tuo and Yang Lin quelled the rebellions in various places, they were ready to concentrate their forces and go north to destroy the Li clan in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, news suddenly came from the border that the Ming Dynasty had conquered the Song Dynasty and was about to embark on another western expedition.

For a time, people in the Great Sui Dynasty were in panic. Not long after things calmed down, turmoil began to arise again.

When Yang Guang received the news, he was immediately shocked and angry, but he did not dare to underestimate the Ming Dynasty. He immediately recalled Yuwen Tuo and Yang Lin to prepare to resist the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army first.

At this time, Yang Guang was sitting on the dragon chair in the Sui Palace, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

"One month, just give me another month, and I will be able to completely get rid of the traitor Li Yuan. I didn't expect this damn Ming Dynasty to come so fast!"

"And Da Song!"

"That old guy Zhao Gou is also a waste!"

"This spineless thing actually surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in just a few months. If he had blocked it for a little longer, I would have gotten rid of this thief Li Yuan by now!"

The more Yang Guang thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction of Daming, cursing angrily.

Hearing this, all the officials could only smile helplessly.

Your Majesty, if we can fight, do you think they are willing to surrender?

If they can buy us half a year, they have done their utmost to be kind and righteous.

If it hadn't been for these six months, I'm afraid the situation in Sui Dynasty wouldn't be much better now.

But now, it's not like he doesn't have the strength to fight.

Yu Wenhuaji stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, don't be upset. Now Grand Master Yuwen and the patron king have led their troops to the border. With the strength of Grand Master Yuwen and the patron king, they will be able to defeat the Ming army and surprise the Ming Dynasty." .”

"As for Li Yuan, let him live for a while. As long as Grand Master Yuwen and the patron king can repel the Ming army, it will not be too late to deal with him then."

Yang Guang glanced at the north and said with a look of reluctance: "That's all we can do now! Li Yuan, a thief, is lucky!"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the officials, and asked, "Do you think the Grand Master and Uncle Wang can stop the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition?"

Hearing this, the officials immediately started talking and discussing among themselves:

"If it was half a year ago, I might still be worried, but now, I can only say that Ming Dynasty is still too weak."

"That's right. In the past six months, Grand Master Yuwen has been fighting everywhere and winning many battles. Not a single traitor is an enemy of Grand Master Yuwen. What does it matter to the Ming Dynasty?"

"exactly!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With Grand Master Yuwen in charge of our Sui Dynasty, we will surely be able to continue our glory for another hundred years!"

"That's right!"

"Master Yuwen's power is invincible. If we go here, we will be able to defeat the Ming army and save our Sui Dynasty from fire and water!"

Countless ministers spoke, and their words expressed their confidence in Yu Wentuo.

Half a year ago, the mountains and rivers of the Great Sui Dynasty were shattered, and the foreign tribes from the north were watching eagerly, waiting to pounce down at any time and tear off a piece of flesh from the Great Sui Dynasty.

There were also rebellions in the country, and rebel kings from all walks of life came in to overthrow the Sui Dynasty. However, the court was unable to redress the rebellion, and the kings who supported him were defeated repeatedly.

Just at this time, news came from the east that the Ming Dynasty was about to invade.

At that time, everyone was already in despair, thinking that the fate of the Sui Dynasty was about to end, and the destruction of the country and the family was imminent.

But at this time, Yuwen Tuo came out of nowhere, led his troops to vindicate the enemy, and won many battles.

In just a few months, dozens of rebel forces were wiped out one after another. No one like Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong could stop Yuwen Tuo's troops.

Even the most powerful Li clan was beaten and fled to the north, like a lost dog.

It can be said that their confidence in Yuwen Tuo was built up through the latter's victories one after another.

Now even if they heard that the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army was coming, they were not worried at all.

In their opinion, Yuwen Tuo only needs to make a small move and the battle will be settled.

How can the mere Ming Dynasty resist the power of the Grand Master?
However, not everyone is so optimistic.

Prime Minister Dugu Feng was seen frowning and looking eastward, with a trace of worry on his face.

Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Yang Guang felt immediately at ease and nodded with satisfaction. It has to be said that Yuwen Tuo's performance in the past six months has greatly increased his confidence, and he even thought that he was the master of destiny. , and Yuwen Tuo was the peerless general given to him by God to help him achieve hegemony.

With the help of this divine general, as long as the Li clan is eliminated, the Sui Dynasty may not have no chance to dominate China.

When the time comes, he, Yang Guang, will be another sage whose power is comparable to that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and comparable to the First Emperor.

But noticing Dugu Feng's expression, Yang Guang frowned slightly and said, "What? The Prime Minister thinks that our Sui Dynasty has little chance of winning this battle?"

Dugu Feng came back to his senses and quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Grand Master Yuwen is brave and invincible. I naturally believe it. However, Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly in recent years and its strength is not weak. I don't dare to speculate on whether this battle can be won. , let’s wait for news from the Grand Master..."

When Yang Guang heard this, his brows furrowed a little tighter.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhuaji hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. What the Prime Minister means is that with Taishi Yuwen and the patron king here, as well as many fierce generals of our Sui Dynasty, this battle will definitely defeat the Ming army and promote our greatness." Sui Guowei, your majesty only needs to wait for the news of the triumphal return of the grand master and the patron king."

Dugu Feng glanced at Yu Wenhuaji, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, is this what I mean?

Yang Guang didn't speak either. He couldn't hear the worry in Dugu Feng's words.

For some reason, he was originally full of confidence, but now when he heard what Dugu Feng said, he suddenly felt a little more worried.

Daming’s strength is indeed not weak!
Although there was a Taishi Yuwen Tuo in the Sui Dynasty, there was also a world-famous King Wu Yuhuatian in the Ming Dynasty.

For a moment, he was not sure which of the two would win or lose.

After a while, Yang Guang took a deep breath, looked at the Eastern Sui Dynasty, frowned, and said in his heart: "Grand Master, don't let me down..."

To the east of the Great Sui Dynasty, adjacent to the Great Song Dynasty, there was an important border town called Jingmen Pass.

To the east of Jingmen Pass is the continuous Jingmen Mountains, which cuts across the border between the Sui and Song Dynasties and serves as a natural barrier.

Jingmen Pass is located behind the Jingmen Mountains, with the north and south leaning against the mountains. Only in the east, there is a highway leading directly to the border of the Song Dynasty, which facilitates diplomacy and trade between the two countries. But at this time, the place was occupied by densely packed Ming troops.

At a glance, the flags covered the sky, and countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were advancing towards Jingmen Pass like locusts passing through.

The sky was gloomy, and it looked like a storm was coming, which added to the tense atmosphere.

Jingmen is closed, and the city is now heavily guarded. Densely packed Sui soldiers are standing all over the city wall, and all kinds of defense equipment are ready to go.

Looking around, there are no less than 30 soldiers on the city wall alone. In addition to the soldiers who are preparing to defend the city as substitutes, nearly [-] troops have gathered at Jingmen Pass.

30 versus Ming's 50. If we have a geographical advantage, holding a pass will definitely not be a problem.

But at this moment, most of the soldiers' faces were tense, solemn, and even fearful.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

In just over ten years, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing and Yuan Dynasties and unified the eastern region. Recently, it destroyed the Song Dynasty in less than half a year.

Now that they are coming to Sui Dynasty, how can they not worry?

Even though the current coach of Jingmenguan is their invincible Taishi Yuwentuo from the Sui Dynasty, they still have little confidence in their hearts.

It is said that this time the Ming Dynasty came with great force, including not only the 50-strong Western Expeditionary Army led by the Ming Dynasty coach Sun Chengzong, but also hundreds of thousands of people from the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty.

On their side, almost all the masters in the world have been won over by the Li Clan in the north. At this moment, apart from their 30 troops in the pass, there is only Taishi Yuwen Tuo, who is said to be a legendary strong man in heaven.

But can he alone stop Ming's masters?

Everyone's heart is very heavy.

Listening to the dense footsteps coming from outside the pass, many soldiers with weak minds started to tremble slightly...

On top of the city tower, dozens of figures stood together.

The two leaders, one old and one young.

The old man is wearing a silver-white battle armor. He is nine feet long and has a waist that is ten inches wide. He has a face like a powder, with two yellow eyebrows on his face. He is very powerful. He holds two dragon prison sticks, which adds to his majestic aura.

This person is none other than the immediate Sui Emperor's uncle, the Sui Dynasty's backing king, Yang Lin!
The person next to him was wearing golden armor and was slightly shorter than Yang Lin, but he did not look thin, but was equally heroic.

The most striking thing is that he has long bronze hair, tied back casually, but he wears a golden mask on his face, covering half of his face, making his appearance unclear.

Especially his eyes, one is brown and the other is blue, they look extremely strange!

This person turned out to be the now famous Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Tuo!

And the dozen or so people behind Yang Lin and Yuwen Tuo are all equally famous warriors, each with extraordinary heroic appearance and impressive power.

For example, among the eighteen heroes of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Wentong, the flower swordsman, ranked ninth, the four treasure generals Shang Shi and his disciples ranked tenth, Xin Wenli, the eight horse generals ranked No. 11, and Xin Wenli, ranked No. 12 Double-gun veteran Ding Yanping, No. 13 Golden Sword Palace Commander Zuo Tiancheng, No. 14 Iron Spear General Hu'er, Pingnan Wang Han Qinhu, etc. are all among them.

These people can be regarded as the last heritage of the Great Sui Dynasty.

It was only thanks to the support of these people that the Sui Dynasty could still stand firm after experiencing so many turmoils until Yuwen Tuo was born.

Otherwise, the Great Sui Dynasty would have ceased to exist as early as two years ago.

But at this moment, everyone, including the patron king Yang Lin, had a heavy look on their faces and frowned, staring at the mighty Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army coming from outside Jingmen Pass.

After a long time, Yang Lin sighed softly and said: "The Iron-Blooded Ming Dynasty is really not simple. No wonder it can withstand the strongest Mongolian alien race on the northern grasslands and still stand firm for so many years!"

"Not bad!" Veteran general Ding Yanping said solemnly: "This army is definitely the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Even before it gets close, I can feel a strong murderous aura. It must have experienced countless battles. It’s just tempered!”

Han Qinhu and others also nodded: "The Ming Dynasty successively attacked the Qing Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. This army is definitely the main force!"

Yang Lin sighed: "Not only this army, but according to intelligence, the martial arts circles of the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty have also joined forces. Under the call of the King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, they have formed a coalition of rivers and lakes. The number is probably no less than 30!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before this coalition of rivers and lakes is coming..."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little heavier.

Yu Wentuo held a long sword with a black scabbard in his hand and stood beside Yang Lin, quietly looking at the army outside the pass. Listening to everyone's discussion, he said nothing and his eyes were as calm as if he had no emotions. .

Yang Lin looked back at him, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "What do you think of this Ming army, Grand Master?"

Hearing this, everyone also looked at Yuwen Tuo.

They also respect Grand Master Yuwen who turned the tide, turned things around, and saved the Sui Dynasty.

If Yuwen Tuo hadn't been in charge this time, they alone would not have been able to stop the Ming invasion.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yuwen Tuo remained very calm and said calmly: "This army is not weak. There is no army in our Sui Dynasty that can compare with it."

Everyone's face changed slightly.

But at this time, Yuwen Tuo said again: "But the key to this battle is not this army, but the Ming Dynasty's allied army."

"As long as we can block the Jianghu coalition, we can't attack with just this 50-strong army."

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "Is the Grand Master confident in blocking the Ming Dynasty's allied forces?"

Yuwen Tuo was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't fought before, so I don't know."

Yang Lin looked solemn and said: "According to the latest information obtained, the martial arts in the Song Dynasty have all responded to the call of the King Wu of the Ming Dynasty and joined the Jianghu Alliance. Among them, there are no less than five masters of heaven and man, plus The original masters of the Ming Dynasty were only at the level of gods and humans, and there were no fewer than ten, or even more!"

"Especially the King of Martial Arts, Yu Huatian. It is said that his true strength has reached that of heaven and man!"

"Above heaven and man..."

Yuwen Tuo murmured in a low voice, then nodded and said: "As long as they don't attack in an all-out way, leave Yuhuatian to me. As long as he is dealt with, the Ming army should retreat."

Yang Lin looked happy and said, "Are you sure you can beat him?"

Yuwen Tuo lowered his head and glanced at the long black sheath sword in his hand, and said calmly: "I haven't fought before, so I don't know. But... it should be possible."

Everyone was immediately happy.

After spending half a year together, they all understood Yuwen Tuo's temperament.

Yuwen Tuo has a relatively cold personality and talks relatively little, but he never makes lies.

Since he said he was sure, he would have a chance to stop the Ming army in this battle.

After all, the most critical figure in the Ming army was still the Ming Dynasty King Wu, Yu Huatian.

By now, the Yuhuatian has become the spiritual pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Yuwen Tuo can deal with him, no matter how many people there are in Ming Dynasty, they will be defeated!

Suddenly, some of the tension in everyone's hearts was dissipated.

"Buzzing..."

Suddenly, a violent sword sound suddenly sounded.

Yuwen Tuo lowered his head and glanced at the sharply trembling sword in his hand, then raised his head and looked into the distance, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said softly: "Here he comes."
