Chapter 161: Reunion after the catastrophe

After Yuwen Chengdu successfully went out of the city last time and issued the decree of the King of the World's Soldiers and Horses to return to Yanmen City, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was worried that only the army of King Qin was not enough insurance, so he sent Yuwen Chengdu out of the city in disguise that night, and asked him to go north to the grassland to ask for Princess Yicheng, and ask Princess Yicheng to help find a way to let Shibi withdraw from the army!

"Chen Yuwen Chengdu, see Your Majesty!" Yuwen Chengdu stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute!

"General Yuwen, please get up!"

Yuwen Chengdu stood up, bowed down again, and said: "The minister was ordered to go north to the grassland to ask to see Princess Yicheng, but as soon as he arrived in the grassland, he met the soldiers sent by His Majesty, and they told the minister that they had successfully contacted Princess Yicheng not long ago, and Princess Yicheng told them that the Western Turks had signs of invading the grassland, and Princess Yicheng had sent people to the Turkic camp to ask Shibi Khan to withdraw immediately!"

Yang Guang was a little puzzled, looked back at Pei Ju behind him and asked, "What does Pei Aiqing think this means?"

"Your Majesty, this should be Princess Yicheng's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, Princess Yicheng is helping us out of the siege!"

"But why is it so coincidental?"

"The Western Turkic Khan has always had the ambition to return to the eastern steppe, in recent years he has been fighting in the south and north in the Western Regions, and has accumulated a very strong strength, this time Shibi Khan led the army south, the grassland is empty, and the Khan who has been eyeing the Khan should take advantage of the weakness, even if they have not launched an attack now, they should be ready to send troops!"

"And our Qinwang army has arrived, and the Qinwang army from all over the country is still coming, and his conspiracy and tricks have been completely shattered, which is also the reason for his withdrawal!" Yu Shiji next to him also hurriedly added!

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen has heard two other news!" First, a cavalry team with unknown military affiliation is wreaking havoc in the grasslands near the border of the Great Sui, they are burning, killing and looting, and more than a dozen grassland tribes have been killed and poked by them; second, Yangmacheng, a logistics center located near Yunnei County, was attacked by a Sui army yesterday morning, and all the cattle, sheep, grain and grass were robbed, and the Turkic army was about to cut off the grain and grass, and they had to withdraw their troops! ”

"So these things are happening!" Yang Guangxi, if these two news are true, then the Turkic army will really be withdrawn!

At this time, Lai Hu'er also spoke: "Your Majesty, the attack on Yangma City should be the real reason for the retreat of the Turkic army, the cavalry of more than 400,000 people consumes an astonishing amount every day, as long as the food and grass are not continued for one day, the army's morale will be seriously shaken!" If their logistics Yangma City is not guaranteed, the Turkic army will have no follow-up food and grass, and can only retreat north and return to the grassland, Your Majesty, this is an extremely clever action! ”

After speaking, Lai Hu'er looked at Yuwen Chengdu again and asked with a smile: "General Yuwen, do you know which general planned this action?"

Everyone wanted to know the answer, and they all looked at Yuwen Chengdu, and even Yang Guang looked at him with a smile on his face, waiting for his answer. Obviously, the northern retreat of the Turkic army made Yang Guang's mood much better, and he was no longer irritable!

Yuwen Chengdu thought for a moment, "Actually, I don't know!" However, this time, the Allied Army and the Ma Yi Army did not join the army of King Qin outside the city, and I guess it should be General Su Shang and Wang Rengong Taishou who planned this operation! ”

It turned out to be Su Shang again! Everyone was a little surprised!

Yang Guang secretly thought in his heart, it seems that this Su Shang is really a talent, I have to find a way to envelop him......

……

The Turkic army slowly retreated in the low sound of horns, under the banner of the golden king, Shibi Khan looked at the Yanmen City that was still standing, his eyes were very complicated, he sighed lowly, it was not that the soldiers were not desperate enough, it could only be said that Tengger's will was unwilling to let them catch Emperor Yang Guang of Sui!

Yesterday afternoon, he received the news sent by Kedun from the grassland, the Western Turks are deploying troops, and there are signs of taking the opportunity to invade the steppe, which is also the trap he has been worried about, but he is a little reluctant to believe it, he suspects that this is Kedun in order to help Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to relieve the siege, and specially sent the news, just to trick him into withdrawing his troops back to the grassland!

Just as he was hesitating, he received two more frightened messages in the evening. First, an unknown number of Sui troops are wreaking havoc in the grasslands near the Sui-Tu border, and they are purposefully clearing the tribes on the grasslands, as if they are preparing to clear and block his back road!

Another piece of news made him even more heartbroken, frightened, a group of more than 20,000 Sui cavalry at dawn yesterday, suddenly attacked his logistics stronghold Yangma City, and then robbed everything in Yangma City, and the 20,000 cavalry stationed in Yangma City was almost wiped out, only less than 3,000 people escaped!

These two pieces of news were like a bolt from the blue, and they frightened him for a long time. It's a pity that hundreds of miles away, he can't be caught up by the whip, and there is not much cattle, sheep and grass left in the camp, only enough for more than 300,000 troops to eat for three days, and the grim situation makes him have to choose to withdraw the army!

……

Three days later, Yang Guang led the remnants of the Praetorian Guard, escorted by more than 200,000 Qinwang troops, to arrive at Loufu Pass. After more than half a month of fear, he didn't want to stay in Yanmen County, which almost killed him, for a quarter of an hour, and on the day of the retreat of the Turkic army, he didn't even meet with the generals and ministers from all over the country who led the army to Qinwang, and directly ordered the army to withdraw to Loufu County first!

After the army entered the city, Yang Guang still did not meet with the ministers and generals from all over the country, Su Shang had just sent Princess Yunyang back, he wanted to meet his baby daughter first, and he also wanted to know more about Su Shang and the allied army, so that he could decide what kind of attitude to treat Su Shang!

In the queen's temporary bedroom, Princess Yunyang, who is still dressed in armor, gently pulled Queen Xiao's jade hand, and described in detail what happened during this time, the mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for more than half a month, experienced separation and calamity, and also had tears in the corners of their eyes, their eyes were red, and they were happy with a sad look!

Xiaoling, who is also a maid in armor, saw Emperor Yang Guang of Sui walking in, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, just wanted to speak out loud but was interrupted by Yang Guang's gesture, Yang Guang gently walked behind his wife and daughter, he also wanted to know what happened to his baby daughter in this half a month!

After a long time, after Princess Yunyang finished speaking, the mother and daughter found Yang Guang standing behind them, and hurriedly stood up and gave a blessing to Yang Guang, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Daughter to see her father! The daughter is not filial, which makes the father worried! ”

Yang Guang nodded with a smile on his face, and suddenly frowned a little, "Qin Tong, why are you wearing armor?" Could it be that Donglai Sushang dares to neglect you like this! ”

"No, Father!"

Princess Yunyang was a little anxious, and hurriedly denied it, "General Su didn't neglect his daughter, he treated his daughter very well!" This armor was specially asked for by the daughter herself who felt that women's clothing was not very convenient in the army, so she specially asked General Su! ”

"I see!"

Yang Guang looked Princess Yunyang up and down, and said with a smile: "Qin Tong, your heroic dress makes me feel that I have another emperor!"

"Father!"

Princess Yunyang took Yang Guang's big hand and shouted a little disagreeingly, "You are not allowed to make fun of your daughter!" ”

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