Chapter 123: The Siege of Yanmen (9)
"Where are the reinforcements?" Yang Guang sat in the county guard mansion and asked the officials of the Yushitai in front of him, the siege of the city for so long made Yang Guang also a little emaciated, and the edges and corners of his face became more and more distinct under the haggardness.
"Your Majesty, the letter sent by the reinforcements says that the reinforcements have arrived at Xinkou and have begun to attack the Turkic army that is blocking them head-on." The official of the Imperial Observatory said.
"How long will the food in the city last?"
"Three days, Your Majesty."
Waving his hand and retreating the crowd of idlers in the room, Yang Guang blew out the candle in front of him. With a long sigh, he hid himself in the shadows, the only way to give him some security.
"What is my father worried about? Now that the reinforcements have arrived at Xinkou, they will be able to reach Yanmen County in an instant, and we will be rescued soon. Zhao Wang Yang Gao said to Yang Guang.
"Some of those people really want to save me, but they are just here to show their loyalty and get a good reputation." Yang Guang sneered and said.
"Yun Dingxing is still very active in bringing troops to King Qin." Yang Gao said.
"Yun Dingxing? is just a craftsman, if he wasn't an official like Li Yuan, who only cares about petty profits, how could he survive as the crown prince and the rest of the party? I have ordered him to be sent a long time ago, and I will not stay until today. ”
"As a member of the Guanlong family, it seems unusual for Li Yuan to be so short-sighted, and I have also heard that Li Yuan is very close to other family members, and his son Li Shimin has studied with those famous families." Yang Gao hesitated, but still told Yang Guang the information he had hearsay.
"Li Yuan is a person with a very deep city, and the most terrifying thing is that he can also hide his city government and pretend to be as loyal as an ordinary official, this kind of person is the person who poses the greatest threat to the throne." Yang Guang touched Yang Gao's head and said.
"Then why did my father keep him? Just find a reason to send it to Lingnan. "Yang Gao has lived in the palace for a long time, and he knows this kind of official fighting method best.
"Behind him are the most prestigious families among the Guanlong nobles, you see that his mother is a member of the Dugu family, and his wife is the daughter of the former Dingzhou Shenwu governor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A person like this, from the moment he was born and entered the officialdom, he was imprinted with the mark of Guan Long. It can be said that he is the next agent invested by the Guanlong Gate Valve, and his every move represents the movement of the Guanlong Gate Valve, so it doesn't matter whether this person moves or not, even if there is no him, those Gate Valves will also nominate someone else. And Li Yuan's nature is like a poisonous snake, as long as I don't reach the time when the building is about to collapse, he will always be my courtier, don't worry. Yang Guang said helplessly:
"Your imperial grandfather relied on these gate lords to sit on the throne of the emperor, and this is why I have the Great Sui, but the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. If this unstable flood is not completely solved, how can the position of the emperor be stable? ”
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and an official of the Imperial Historical Observatory whispered outside the door to ask the maid who was retreated to the house by Yang Guangping and said, "Is Your Majesty asleep?" ”
Before the maid could speak, Yang Guang lit the lamp and said to the door, "Come in and talk about something." ”
The official of the Imperial Historical Observatory answered and pushed the door in and said, "Your Majesty, the Xiaoguo army of the city defense reported that the Turkic camp outside the city suddenly lit up with fire, and the camp seemed to be in chaos. ”
After hearing this, Yang Guang frowned and said, "Lead the way in front of the head and take me to take a look." ”
Under the leadership of the officials of the Imperial History Terrace, Yang Guang climbed to the head of the city of Yanmen County, climbed high and looked into the distance, between the Turkic camp outside the city, the fire was soaring, faintly someone shouted the sound of horse neighing, and then carefully looked at it, saw that there were many cavalry running around in the camp under the firelight, among which there was a large Sui military flag embroidered with two wolf heads in the wind. This banner Yang Guang is very familiar with, it is the military flag of the Western Regions Army of Li Wenyuan, the head of the Western Regions personally appointed, and the wolf flags to which these two wolf heads belong are stored in his own Beijing Division.
Yang Guang stretched out his hand and pointed to the constantly moving Sui army banner in the camp and said to Yang Gao: "Emperor, look, this is the Western Regions Army flag of Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions. ”
At this time, the defenders of the south gate on the other side also came to report: "The Turkic military camp in the south of the city is also a little chaotic, and there seems to be thousands of troops coming in the further south. ”
Yang Guang nodded, rubbed his eyes that were a little swollen because of the hard work for days, and said: "The danger of Yanmen, this can be regarded as a solution, tomorrow the Turks will retreat, let's wait for the troops of the King of Qin from all walks of life to arrive in Yanmen one after another." ”
"Stop them! Quickly organize people to extinguish the fire and stop the situation of burning the company camp! "Shibi Khan commanded his subordinates to do the response work in the chaos. He had just received a message from the tooth tent that the Goguryeo people had assembled on a large scale at the border, including the Murowei Department, which made him realize that he had been completely tricked by the Goguryeo people and had fallen for the Goguryeo people's plan to move away from the mountain.
Not long after receiving this news, the camp gate did not know who opened it, a large number of Han cavalry rushed in, these cavalry saddles were tied with torches, on the saddle on the other side hung a bunch of unknown bottles and cans, these cavalry those unknown bottles and bottles blocked by the cloth strip with the torch on the saddle of the saddle, and then threw it on the tent, immediately spread a raging fire, for a while the camp in the north of the city was on fire, people shouted and neighed between the chaos of the horse.
"Khan, this fire is very evil, not to mention that the water can't be extinguished, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't be stopped." Said a Turkic cavalryman whose face was blackened by the fireworks.
"Khan! The Han army has attacked the camp! "Before Shibi Khan carefully understood the meaning of his subordinate's words, what fire can't be extinguished by water? Yin fire? Ghost fire? Shibi Khan, who had no clue at all, heard the news of the Han cavalry attacking the camp, and his mind was blank at the moment, and he knelt on the ground with weak knees and said hoarsely:
"Why don't Tengger bless the people who love you the most!"
Seeing that his Great Khan was a little out of his mind, his soldiers hurriedly led a horse, helped Shibi Khan up, and escorted Shibi Khan to flee north. The rest of the people also evacuated under the command of Dubi, leaving behind a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock.
Li Wenyuan was amazed when he watched it not far away, no wonder the ancestors always liked fire attacks when they were fighting, the effect was really good.
Happy Chinese New Year's Eve~~
