Chapter 136: Emperor Sui is trapped

Su Shang looked at the generals, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and slowly analyzed: "Actually, Ben Shuai is not very sure, but this is something that has a high probability and will happen!"

"The grassland peoples in history have always coveted the rich products of the Central Plains, but they are very pragmatic, when the Central Plains Dynasty was at its peak, they would prostrate and submit, once the Central Plains was quite degraded, they would go south, burn and loot!"

Of course, the Turks are no exception, they have also been paying attention to the Great Sui, and they are ready to loot the population and materials of the Great Sui at any time. Over the years, the repeated appearance of the steppe cavalry on the northern border of the Great Sui is a good evidence, which is also their tentative attack, and they are observing the reaction within the Great Sui! ”

"Since the Turkic steppe has been taken over by Shibi Khan, the steppe cavalry has invaded the border of the Great Sui more and more times every year, and it can also be seen from here that Shibi Khan is also an ambitious and ambitious person, he will not be willing to be lonely, and the Turkic steppe will be more aggressive and offensive under his rule!"

"Now the situation inside the Great Sui, they must also know very well that the collapse of the Great Sui is the beginning of a looting feast for them, and they will definitely go south again to loot the Great Sui!"

"However, after all, the Turks are too few in number, and although the current Great Sui is in decline, the overall national strength is still superior to them, and the people of the Central Plains hate them very much. At this time, if they invade the south, the people of the Central Plains will unite again to attack them, and in the end, the Turks will be seriously injured, and even disappear into the long river of history! ”

"Therefore, if the Turks want to plunder more people and materials in this feast, so as to strengthen their own race, they must have a faster and safer method of plundering!"

Su Shang analyzed a lot in one breath, and after speaking, he looked at the generals and asked with a smile: "Everyone thinks about it now, for their Turks, if they want to rob the Great Sui, what kind of method will be faster and safer?"

Xie Yingdeng's eyes lit up, and he blurted out a sentence, "Arrest the Great Sui Emperor and ask for a huge ransom!" ”

"Not bad! The Great Sui Emperor is the ruling emperor of the Central Plains, as long as he can successfully capture him, the Turks will be able to demand a huge ransom, and the Great Sui will also fall apart completely because of this, and from now on they will no longer be able to threaten their Turkic steppes, which is safer and more rewarding than directly sending troops to loot the Great Sui cities! ”

……

In a jungle about 180 miles west of the Swan Tide, a Sui army scout general, led more than 20 scout soldiers are hiding in it, they are scouts sent by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the troops are divided into ten routes, and they have been within 300 miles of the Swan Lake, searching for whether there are a large number of Turkic cavalry in ambush.

More than a dozen Sui scouts were resting under the tree, when the earth suddenly shook, the scouts jumped up from the ground, and the scout general shouted to the top of the tree: "What did you find?"

There was also a scout in the tree, who looked into the distance for a moment, then turned back and shouted: "It's the Turkic cavalry coming, boundless!"

The scout general immediately decided, "Everyone go into the depths of the woods!" ”

More than twenty scouts quickly rushed towards the depths of the woods, and a moment later, the black-pressed Turkic cavalry, like an overwhelming dark cloud, roared and swept towards the east, and the team stretched for dozens of miles!

The Sui scouts hid deep in the woods, they could still feel the trembling of the earth, and the scout general climbed a large tree and visited the Turkic army several miles away, and he was basically able to judge the number of the Turkic army.

"Eagle!"

With the order of the scout general, a falcon flew out of the cage carried by the Sui army, circled over the woods a few times, and then flew towards the Sui army camp!

……

Halfway through the unitary hour, at dusk, in the imperial room of the Sui army's garrison, Sui Emperor Yang Guang and several military and political ministers were discussing urgent military and political affairs.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace, and a guard made an urgent report outside the door, "Your Majesty, a scout has sent back urgent news, today is not about seven o'clock, they have found a large group of Turkic cavalry, estimated to be no less than 400,000 people, they are rushing towards our camp at high speed!" ”

Yang Guangda was shocked and stood up suddenly, "Quick, the army will retreat immediately!" ”

The Turkic army of more than 400,000 is already more than 100 miles away, according to their speed, it only takes more than half a day to catch up with the Sui army, Yang Guang does not dare to take the imperial tent wooden car anymore, directly rides a horse, 30,000 troops drop all kinds of sundries and baggage, and retreat back in panic!

At midnight, they met with the army led by Xue Shixiong in the rear, Yang Guang got the news that more than 400,000 Turkic cavalry had chased sixty miles away, Yang Guang was terrified, he couldn't care about being exhausted, and desperately ran south, but there were many palace concubines and ministers in the team, and they couldn't run fast at all, so if they went on like this, they would inevitably be caught up by the Turkic cavalry after dawn.

"Your Majesty, go to Yanmen County and use the terrain of Yanmen Pass to block the Turkic cavalry." Xue Shixiong rushed to Yang Guang and suggested loudly.

At this time, Yang Guang was already the master of the six gods, and hurriedly agreed, "Go to Yanmen County!" ”

The 100,000 patrol army were frightened, running all the way, just after the fifth watch, the patrol army passed the Yanmen Pass and entered the county seat of Yanmen County!

The city wall of Yanmen County is tall and strong, with a circumference of twenty miles, a population of thousands of households and more than 20,000 people.

Dou Xing is the Taishou of Yanmen County, and he is also the highest chief official in Yanmen County, when he heard that the saint had fled, he was so frightened that he hurriedly vacated the official office for Yang Guang and the palace concubine, and contacted the rich family to arrange 100 officials, and the 100,000 forbidden troops could only stay in the houses at will, and the people shouted that the horses were neighing, and the city was in chaos!

"There is a decree in the saint, Xuantai Shou Dou Xing will be visited!"

Dou Xing followed the eunuch into the county office that originally belonged to him, he was a little scared, Yang Guang has been moody in recent years, and now he is fleeing again, Dou Xing is very worried that Yang Guang will be angry and angry with himself!

Dou Xing walked into the room tremblingly, knelt down on his knees and saluted: "Minister Dou Xing to see Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang just ate a little something, drank a bowl of ginseng tea, and finally came to his senses, but he was still worried, the Turkic 400,000 iron horsemen, can the small Yanmen county resist it?

"How many troops are there in the city now?"

"There are 10,000 garrisons in the city, and 20,000 ordinary people, but it's just ......"

Yang Guang suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Just what?"

Dou Xing said what he was most worried about, "There are only 32,000 stone of grain stored in the warehouse in the city, which is only enough for His Majesty's army and the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for twenty-five days at most, and there is a serious shortage of forage. ”

"Only 32,000 stone of grain?"

Yang Guangda was shocked, and asked anxiously: "How much forage is there?"

"Back to His Majesty, there are only 3,000 war horses in Yanmen County, and they are generally stored for half a year according to this amount, and the minister does not know the specific amount of forage, but now it has suddenly increased to 100,000 war horses, and the minister estimates that it can only last for ten days at most."

Yang Guang was a little anxious, the food was only enough for more than 20 days, and the forage was only enough for 10 days, once the city was besieged for more than a month, wouldn't everyone have to starve to death?

At this time, Xue Shixiong next to him stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggests slaughtering 50,000 war horses first, on the one hand, to increase meat consumption, and on the other hand, to reduce forage consumption."

Yang Guang pondered for a moment, "Where are the Turkic cavalry chasing now?" If there is still a distance, either I will mobilize grain and grass from other counties, or I will leave Yanmen County and go to Youzhou. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a loud horn sound outside, and the sound was loud and undulating, echoing in the sky, like thousands of horns blowing together!

Yang Guang's face changed greatly, and at this time, General Zuo Yiwei came to protect his children and rushed in, and urgently reported, "Your Majesty, the Turkic cavalry is coming from all directions, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, and they have surrounded Yanmen City. ”

Yang Guang's face showed a look of horror, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, but Lai Hu'er was very calm, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have 100,000 troops to defend the city, Yanmen City has high walls, and the Turkic cavalry is not good at attacking the city, we will defend the city, and we may not lose!" ”

Yang Guang calmed down a little, took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it to Lai Hu'er, "General, I order you to be fully responsible for defending the city!" General Xue, you dispatch the forbidden army to fully cooperate with the general to defend the city! ”

"Yes!"

Lai Hu'er and Xue Shixiong knelt on one knee, "The ministers would rather have their hearts and brains on the ground than protect Your Majesty's safety!" ”

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
