Outside Yanmen County, siege battles are staged every day, bloody and fierce, Yanmen County has shaken, and even collapsed gaps, but was blocked by the Sui army with mud and sand overnight, and continued to hold on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, the Turks were good at horse warfare and not good at siege, so after 20 days of siege, they still could not break through.

On this day, Shibi Khan was in the camp discussing with the chieftains of the tribes about the strategy of war, whether to abandon the siege and continue southward, or withdraw his army and retreat.

Most of the people suggested withdrawing the army, because they heard that there were more than 200,000 Sui troops in Xinkou, which had already moved north and arrived near Laocheng, and the cavalry of the southernmost tribe suffered heavy losses.

The fantasy of the Turks going south to break through the Central Plains is already difficult to realize, and it is useless to stay, so it is better to roll up the supplies and withdraw as soon as possible.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in with a messenger and handed over a secret letter, which contained a letter for help from Kedun.

"Smack!" After reading it, Shibi Khan slapped the table and said angrily: "The cunning Central Plains people actually sent troops deep into the grassland to attack our base camp, how can this be justified. ”

When the chiefs and generals of the tribes heard the news, they were immediately shocked, worried that the Central Plains people would block the exit outside the Yanmen Pass and snipe them, which would make them suffer from the enemy on their backs, like turtles in an urn.

"Khan, we should quickly withdraw our troops and go back to save our people."

"Yes, Khan, there are no interests to occupy here, every day of siege, countless casualties, the rear has also been attacked and destroyed by the Sui army, so many clansmen and cattle and sheep can't be harmed like this."

Although these steppe people are barbaric and cold-blooded, they are still very lively and value their own people and families.

Seeing that everyone was about to retreat, Shibi Khan knew that the general situation had gone, so he reluctantly announced his retreat, demanding that all the grain, iron tools, cattle and sheep, women, children, etc. that could be taken away from the nearby cities were also considered a fortune.

Two days later, after the Turkic army contracted, it slowly retreated and left the Yanmen Pass.

There was no sound of fighting in Yanmen County, everyone stood at the head of the city and looked out, there was not a single soldier in sight, only some empty remnants of the camp, no neighing of war horses, no sound of Jinge, and the fields and hills outside the city were quiet.

Soon, after some reconnaissance by the scouts sent to the city, the news was confirmed that the Turks had withdrawn.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic army has retreated and is out of Yanmen Pass."

"Great, God bless me, immediately send someone to regain control of Yanmen Pass, close the pass, and there is no loss." After Yang Guang was ecstatic, he immediately ordered Xiongguan to be blocked, so that it would be safe.

When the news of the Turkic withdrawal spread, the soldiers and civilians in the city were relieved and wept with joy, and all the civilian, military and military generals shouted excitedly, God bless the Great Sui.

At this time, Yang Guang's royal momentum recovered a lot, became gloomy and ruthless, and sent a Sui cavalry led by Chen Qi, who immediately carried it on his back, and found scattered Turkic soldiers and wounded along the way, and immediately slaughtered and relieved his hatred.

The next day, Qu Tutong, Zhou Fashang, Yu Juluo and other generals arrived with troops, the number of which had reached 150,000, and they were both happy and a little ashamed to learn that the Turks had retreated, and they did not play much role.

"The ministers are too late to save the car, so that Your Majesty is frightened, and I ask for punishment!" Although Yang Guang was a little annoyed before, he only understood this truth afterwards, these generals and government soldiers were temporarily recruited from all over the country, the number of people was different, there must be a gap, today the enemy has just retreated, the political situation is unstable, Yang Guang did not shout and kill these generals again.

"You have a meritorious service in rescuing the driver, what a crime, I and the ministers have been rescued, but all the generals who come to King Qin will be rewarded."

At this time, Yang Jun, Yuan Wuda, Xu Hongren and others also came to ask for guilt.

"Erchen is guarding the city in Lao County, but because of the lack of soldiers and generals, he is surrounded by the Turkic army and cannot come to the rescue, so please punish my father."

"It's not easy for you, since you are besieged by the Turkic army, you must not be able to get out, what a crime, let's get even!" Yang Guang knew that Yang Jian and others had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and in front of the 300,000 or 400,000 Turkic army, forcibly came to the rescue, in fact, it was no different from looking for death, since he couldn't help himself, so he was not to blame.

"Your Majesty, the minister deserves to die, so he rushed to save the driver, and the sin deserves death—" At this time, some people wailed and cried, which was very miserable and tragic.

Yang Guang was displeased, and said in his heart that he had just been relieved, and he should have been happy, who was crying like this.

Everyone looked over, and they saw that not far away, there was a group approaching, the first general, with a high nose and blue eyes, with Hu blood, embarrassed clothes and armor, unkempt, like a beggar, it was the Jiangdu palace supervisor and the county prince Shichong.

He hurried over, and before he could reach him, he fell to his knees, and then knelt down and ran forward on his knees, which looked very funny.

Yang Guang saw Wang Shichong's appearance, and the dust and dust rushed to the rescue, and the displeasure in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Wang Shichong rushed to him, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and howled: "Knowing that His Majesty was trapped, Weichen was worried from Jiangdu, and immediately recruited 10,000 soldiers and horses, and hurried to Qin Wang, but the road was too far, even if he traveled day and night, did not take off his armor at night, only ate one meal a day, rested for two hours, and finally arrived, and saw that His Majesty's dragon body was uninjured, still like the light of the sun and the moon, the heaven and earth can be seen, and the minister was relieved, but he failed to save the driver in time, and asked for a heavy punishment——"

Many ministers are disdainful in their hearts, and they can see that this Wang Shichong is too good at acting, and the sycophants he shoots are also disgusting.

But Yang Guanggang has suffered a great calamity and his spirit has been stimulated, so he likes to listen to this kind of touching remarks, boasting about the words of patting horses, and he is intoxicated, so after listening to it, he was quite moved, how could he be severely punished, stretched out his hand to personally pull up Wang Shichong, and encouraged him, thinking that he was loyal to the king and a role model, not only no punishment, but also a heavy reward.

Luo Zhaoyun was depressed on the side, it seemed that Wang Shichong's scene was more than his meritorious service, and the treatment seemed to be better, he really knew how to do it, it was better to say it.

After the meeting, Yang Guang announced the rectification of the three armies, and then left Yanmen County, and arrived in Taiyuan three days later, where the Jinyang Palace replenished supplies, and the civil and military ministers cleaned up from the inside to the outside, and restored the temperament of officials and nobles.

During this period, Wang Shichong pulled Luo Zhaoyun to a banquet and drank, and was close to him, but although Luo Zhaoyun did not refuse, he couldn't talk about much enthusiasm, just took advantage of this to get to know this person, because in the future, he may become a big enemy for the world.

Yang Guangnian and the Yanmen and Taiyuan areas were too important and suffered great disasters, so he pardoned the various punishments of the sinners in Taiyuan and Yanmen counties, and let the Shangshu of the household department and the Ministry of Industry discuss how to rebuild Yanmen County and restore the local operation.

At this time, the generals such as Laihu'er, Pei Renji, and Tuwanxu returned with the remnants of the army, they were responsible for breaking the rear, resisting the Turkic cavalry, because the Turkic army was in a hurry to pursue Yang Guang's team, so they did not hit the full force to annihilate the three teams on the way, leaving only one to fight, afterwards, Laihu'er and others insisted until they could not resist, and broke through with hundreds of remnants of the army, and rushed to the city of Mayi outside the pass, and learned that the Turkic army retreated, and then returned.

Yang Guang added several generals and the remaining soldiers to knighthood and rewarded them to appease the army.

In October of the same year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and his entourage returned to the eastern capital of Luoyang, and Luo Zhaoyun also returned.
