With that, Shibi Khan reached out and put his arms around the two young girls and took them into his arms. Although the two girls had a reluctant look on their faces, they did not dare to resist at all, and snuggled into the arms of Shibi Khan, allowing his big furry hands to caress their delicate breasts.

Yu Shiji said disdainfully: "Khan thinks that all problems can be solved by force? Can you conquer the Han Chinese? Many years ago, when the Wuhu Rebellion was in China, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and clans all dominated the Central Plains for a while, and they were even more powerful than you Turks. But what happened to them? The race is now almost extinct and assimilated. Even if you are lucky enough to win a few wars, you will still end up with defeat! ”

"Humph! Then wait and see! I want to see who gives in first. Shibi Khan snorted coldly, and then said, "Yu Shiji, didn't you say that you wanted to negotiate with me?" Ben Khan was also not an unreasonable man. For the sake of the alliance between my Turks and the Sui Dynasty before, I can let Yang Guang go and spare his life. But I have one condition, and if you agree, I will send him back to the Eastern Capital. But if Yang Guang and you don't agree, then I can only arrest him back to my prairie and let Yang Guang be my horse slave! ”

As soon as his voice fell, all the Turkic leaders present burst out laughing. Because the Manu was the lowest rank among the slaves of the Turks. In addition to feeding and bathing the horses every morning, they also kneel beside the horses as stepping stones, allowing their owners to step on their backs when they get on the horses. Therefore, the other slaves looked down on the manu. And Shibi Khan actually asked the dignified Emperor of Sui to be his manu, which can be seen as an insult.

Yu Shiji came with Yang Guang's mission, and he could only temporarily suppress the humiliation of Shibi Khan. Holding back the anger in his heart, he asked in a deep voice: "Khan, tell me, what conditions do you want?" ”

With a sinister smile on his face, Shibi Khan said, "My wife, Princess Yicheng, recently died of illness, so there is no princess of the Sui Dynasty among my wives. I heard that Yang Guang has a little daughter named Yang Luoqi, who is known as one of the four beauties of the Eastern Capital, and can sing and dance, smart and beautiful. Since the Sui Dynasty has always had a tradition of marrying a princess to a Turkic khan, then my first condition is: marry Princess Luoqi to me and be my woman! You can rest assured, I will make her my favorite concubine. ”

After saying that, Shibi Khan burst out laughing, his expression smug. And the Turkic nobles sitting next to him also laughed wildly, obviously trying to insult the Sui Dynasty. Yu Shiji's face turned pale with anger, but he didn't dare to refute.

After a while, Shibi Khan laughed and said coldly: "Before, it was always my Turkic vassal to the Sui Dynasty, and the envoys of the Sui Dynasty came to canonize my Turkic Khan. Now, this should be reversed! My second condition is that from now on, the Sui Dynasty will be a vassal to my Turks, not only Yang Guang will accept my canonization, but also the future emperor of the Sui Dynasty will also accept the canonization of my descendants. ”

"This is absolutely impossible!" Yu Shiji finally couldn't help but object. If he really agrees to this condition, it is estimated that both he and Yang Guang will be drowned by the saliva of the world's surnames and officials.

"Humph! You can't help but disagree! Shibi Khan snorted coldly, and then said: "I will say the first condition, according to the rules of the steppe, if the defeated want to redeem their freedom, they need to pay a ransom to the victor. It's okay for me to let Yang Guang go, but the Sui Dynasty must cede Hebei, Hedong, Hetao and Longxi to me. In addition, they will give me 10,000 horses of silk, 20,000 quintals of tea, and 50,000 stones of grain as a ransom, and in addition, they will pay me Turkic tribute every year in the future......"

"Khan, you're being harsh. It is simply impossible for us to agree to such humiliating conditions! Yu Shiji objected loudly.

"Hey, hey! I'm good at that. If you don't agree, after I break the city, I will arrest Yang Guang in front of me, and then slowly negotiate the conditions, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the conditions will be more than this! Shibi Khan sneered indifferently.

He was very confident in capturing Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so the conditions for opening were also extremely harsh. In fact, he didn't plan to negotiate terms with Yu Shiji now. Shibi Khan wanted to wait for Yang Guang to be captured, and then negotiate terms with the Sui Dynasty ministers who remained in the eastern capital, and then he could put forward more and more insulting conditions.

Yu Shiji's face also changed greatly at this time: "Since this is the case, then Yu will leave!" ”

With that, he turned and wanted to leave.

At this time, Shibi Khan made a look, and saw two Turkic soldiers step forward and stop him.

Yu Shiji's heart suddenly became heavy. He asked in a deep voice, "Khan, what do you mean by that?" ”

Shibi Khan said with a gloomy face: "Lord Yu, your two entourages can go back to resume their lives, as for you, just stay here honestly for me!" I'll let you herd sheep for me in Beihai in the future!" Let you be Su Wu again! ”

Yu Shiji's face changed suddenly, Su Wu knew who it was. That was a minister of the Han Dynasty. In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty, he worshiped the Zhonglang general, and was ordered to send the Xiongnu with a festival, due to the civil strife in the upper echelons of the Xiongnu at that time, Su Wu was detained by Xinshan Yu. Because of its insistence on refusing to surrender; He was ordered to move him to the North Sea to herd sheep, and threatened to release him only if the ram was alive. Su Wu went through hardships and stayed in the Xiongnu for 19 years and remained unyielding. In the sixth year of the first century, he was released and returned to Han. After Su Wu's death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty listed him as one of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, highlighting his integrity.

Before he could object, Shibi Khan had already said sharply: "Send Yu Shiji back to the grassland for me!" Let those two followers go back to their lives! ”

……

At this time, in the original city, Yang Guang had already received news from the outside that Li Jing was attacked by the Western Turkic army in Dunhuang, although he repelled the enemy many times, but he was limited to the disadvantage of his troops, and could not completely defeat him, so he could not come to reinforcements.

Although Qu Tutong had already brought troops from the Hetao, it was estimated that it would take about ten days to arrive because his troops were all infantry.

As for Luo Yi, he had already led 10,000 Youzhou iron cavalry and 40,000 infantry to come to the rescue, but it would also take about ten days to arrive.

Although Yujuluo and Laihu'er led 170,000 infantry to a plain ten miles away from Yanmen County, they were stopped by the Turkic army and fell into a fierce battle, and the battle situation was still very unfavorable.

In contrast, the only one who could arrive in time and had the ability to defeat the Turks was Yuming's Liaodong army. He is now leading 100,000 cavalry to confront the armies of Xue Yantuo, Tiele, and Murowei in the Yinshan area. If he was allowed to lead his troops to the rescue, he would be able to reach it in a few days because the road was all flat grasslands and the distance was only more than five miles.

Therefore, Wang Rengong and Pei Xingyan thought that they could use carrier pigeons to send a message to the Sui army in Yulin County, and then ask them to send an envoy to ask Yuming to come to the rescue.

But Yang Guang was also very jealous of the Liaodong Army, for fear of driving tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door. He didn't become a prisoner of Shibi Khan, but he ended up being a prisoner of Yuming.

Just when he hesitated, two of Yu Shiji's entourage came back crying and reporting that Yu Shiji had sent an envoy to the Turkic camp and was detained.

"What a bastard! I knew that I should have led a large army to kill the grassland and cut this auspicious sword with a thousand knives! Yang Guang listened to the report, especially after hearing Yu Shiji's two entourages tremblingly talk about the conditions proposed by Shibi Khan, he was furious. Smashed many vases and plates in the house.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the room were so frightened that they fell to their knees, they had never seen the saint lose his temper so much.

Yang Guang's face was pale, although he was also afraid of death, but he still knew the consequences, knowing that if he accepted such a humiliating condition, then the army would definitely mutini immediately, and the soldiers and people of the Sui Dynasty would no longer support him, and the nobles of various families might rise up to rebel. That Great Sui will immediately fall apart.

After Wang Rengong, Pei Ju, Pei Renji and others got the news, they all hurried over, looking at the fragments of dishes on the ground, they were all shocked in their hearts.

"You all stand down first, and I'll talk about it later, I want to be alone!" Yang Guang waved his hand.

The ministers glanced at each other, then turned and retreated.

Yang Guang slowly walked to the window at this time, looking at the stars in the sky outside the window, and his heart was extremely irritable and frightened. Although he had long known that the Turkic army would move south, he was also ready for the Northern Expedition. But he never dreamed that Shibi Khan would lead so many troops to attack Hedong. And he was also besieged in Yanmen County, threatening his safety.

"Why is this Shibi Khan so desperate? Wasn't he afraid that the Liaodong Army would take advantage of the situation to attack the Turkic tent? Yang Guang had some doubts in his heart.

Only then did he remember Yu Ming's good coming. Before the conquest of Goryeo and the sending of envoys to the Turks, it was Yuming who turned the tide and defended the dignity and interests of the Great Sui. And now, after forcing Yuming back, everything is not going well for him. Now, even he is trapped in Yanmen County, and whether he can return to the Eastern Capital alive is a big question.

Yang Guang didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the window, but suddenly, he heard soft footsteps coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw that under the bright light, his daughter Yang Luoqi had appeared behind him.

"Rocky, why are you here? It's so late, why don't you go back and rest! Yang Guang said softly. For his little daughter, he has always been the most beloved.

Yang Luoqi had already learned from the two entourages about Shibi Khan's conditions.

At this time, she knelt down to Yang Guang and said, "Father, if you can exchange me for the safety of your father and the Great Sui, then the daughter is willing to marry the Turkic Khan." ”

Yang Guang only felt sour in his heart, he was a dignified emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he actually needed to sacrifice his precious daughter in exchange for his life.

He hurriedly helped Yang Luoqi up, and then said softly: "Luoqi, don't say stupid things." Na Duji didn't really want to negotiate at all. His offer was purely to humiliate your father. You can rest assured! Even if the sky falls, it is impossible for my father to use you to hold it up! ”

Yang Luoqi couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, she threw herself into Yang Guang's arms and cried, tears welling up from her beautiful big eyes, wetting the placket on Yang Guang's chest.
