When Bai Daozhou was surrounded on all sides, he did not lead the army to abandon the city and retreat north as he wished, but wrote a letter to himself to talk about peace in a delusional way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when Yang Guang took the letter from Suo Tu's hand and unfolded it to take a closer look, he couldn't help but be moved by the peace conditions offered by Chu Luo Yu, and he felt a trace of admiration for Chu Luo Yu from the bottom of his heart.

It turned out that in this handwritten letter, Chu Luoyu first expressed his sincere apologies to Yang Guang for his inability to prevent Yongyu Lu from brazenly tearing up the non-aggression peace treaty signed with Yang Guang and leading the army to attack Yanmen Pass at night, and then bluntly pointed out that the current relations between the Turks and the Sui State were still undecided (as evidenced by the fact that he had sent an envoy to Chang'an a few months ago and did not receive a clear answer from Yang Jian on the relations between the two countries), he did not approve of his brother Sha Bolu Khan's move to personally lead a large army south to attack Sui, in order to express his sincerity. He was willing to take the initiative to cede Baidaozhou to the Sui State, and was willing to send a letter to his son Dan Gan, who followed Sha Bolu's westward expedition, asking him to try to persuade Sha Bolu to withdraw the army attacking Sui as soon as possible.

You must know that Chu Luo is one of the five Turkic khans, and he personally wrote this letter and sent people out of the city to hand it over to Yang Guang, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to hand over a handle to Yang Guang, once he breaks the contract in the future and refuses to fulfill his promise, he himself will lose his prestige and status in the tribe, and will be scolded and blamed by the Turkic tribes.

Compared with leading the army to abandon the city and retreat north, the cost of this move is greater, and it is more difficult to make this choice.

After Wang Shao, Li Che and others circulated this letter from Luo Yu, their views were similar to those of Yang Guang, except that Wang Shaoyu asked the messenger Suotu: "What is the exchange condition that your Khan wants to get for acting like this?" ”

"My Tuli Khan is entrusted by the Great Khan, and has the responsibility of guarding the Great Khan's tooth tent, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin of your state is willing to accept the peace negotiation conditions proposed by my Khan, please order the removal of the siege in the north of Baidaozhou, and let my Khan lead the defenders in the city to retreat north and retreat to Wuyuan City." Sotu replied in fluent Chinese.

These days, according to what Yang Guang said, all kinds of arrangements made to confuse the other party have actually really seen the effect, and Chu Luo Yu really mistakenly thought that the Sui army was going to attack Wuyuan City and Dujin Mountain and was forced to write to Yang Guang asking for peace!

Wang Shao and Li Che quickly exchanged glances, and they all got up and said to Yang Guang: "The Tuli Khan is sincere in making peace with my Great Sui Army, and hopes for the prince's permission, so as to demonstrate the sincerity of our court and foreign vassals. ”

"I will present this letter to my father as a proof of the Turki Khan's sincerity and reconciliation with my Great Sui." Yang Guang saw that both Wang and Li agreed with the terms of the peace talks that he had agreed to put forward by Luo Yu in the next place, so he raised the letter in the book and said to Suotu, "This king has made a promise to you in person, and after your Khan led the army to cede Baidao Prefecture, he will send an order to stop the three armies from marching towards Wuyuan City. But at the same time, with a limit of two months, please try to persuade Sha Bo to withdraw his troops from the northwest, if this time limit is exceeded, this king will personally command the three armies, and at any time in Baidao Prefecture to welcome the Tuli Khan to lead the tribe to join my Great Sui, remember, do not forget. ”

Yang Guang personally went to the former enemy, skillfully used suspicious military tactics, and successfully forced the Turkic Turkic Khan to surrender Baidaozhou, and strongly persuaded his brother Sha Boluo to withdraw his troops from the northwest in exchange for peace with the Sui army, turned defense into attack, and led the untrained 30,000 Hebei children to recover the lost territory of the former Qi - Baidaozhou in one fell swoop. As soon as the news spread in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, it once again aroused the unprecedented enthusiasm of the people of Hebei to send their sons to serve as soldiers, serve the imperial court, and resist the Turkic invasion.

Yang Guangjing consulted with Wang Shao, Li Che and others, sent generals to various state capitals, and selected more than 10,000 Ding Zhuang to join the army of the state capital. In this way, in addition to the 100,000 troops who followed the Wei King Yang Shuang to conquer Liaodong, the total number of Sui troops under Yang Guang could also reach 50,000, maintaining an overwhelming advantage over the Turkic Division in the head-to-head battle.

At the same time, on the day when Luo Yu led the army to withdraw from Baidao Prefecture and Yang Guang led the army into the city, he wrote a handwritten memo and handed it to Pei Qiantong along with the talk and letter written by Luo Yu to himself, and ordered him to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible and report to his father Yang Jian. Yang Guang also told his father that he and his 50,000 Hebei warriors were willing to listen to the imperial court's edict at any time and rush to the northwest to fight against the Turks.

However, how did Yang Guang know that when he led the army to recover Baidaozhou and played a triumphant song, Chang'an, the imperial capital thousands of miles away, was shrouded in a panic atmosphere that the Turks were breaking through and approaching step by step.

The Turkic Great Khan took a picture of the main force of the tribe led by the Greedy Khan Khan to the west, and the two Khans of Apo and Datou marched westward to join forces, and raised an army of 400,000 to invade the Sui in the south, which was far more ferocious than Yang Jian expected. Since Da Xi Changru fought a bloody battle in Zhoupan and luckily scared away the dyeing and dry department, Feng Yu, the governor of Lanzhou, and the long fork of Weizhou were defeated by the Turks one after another, and the six state capitals of Jincheng, Yan'an and other Guanzhong cities were captured by the Turkic army one after another, and the six animals in the city were all wiped out and looted by the Turkic iron cavalry.

The Turkic vanguard had reached the banks of the Weishui River, less than 100 miles from Chang'an, and the news reached the central part of the country, and the court was shocked.

As soon as Yang Jian's edict to pardon the exiles in Western Xinjiang and recruit them into the army to replenish their military strength was issued, the Turks almost came to Chang'an City, forcing Yang Jian to assign the crown prince Yang Yong out of Beijing in advance and lead 20,000 forbidden troops to prepare for Xianyang.

Due to the defeat of the men and horses under the two marching marshals of Dou Rongding and Yu Qingze at the hands of the Turks, Yang Jian had to consider choosing another good general to assist Yang Yong while ordering the prince to garrison Xianyang, in order to successfully block the Turkic advance to Chang'an.

In this context, the Northern Zhou Su general, who lives in Chang'an, naturally entered Yang Jian's field of vision. After several months of hibernation, Liu Yi and his party are looking forward to a great opportunity to make a comeback.

Among all the Northern Zhou generals who have been idle since the opening of the Sui Dynasty and have lived in Chang'an, in addition to Taishi Li Mu, Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Shengguo, and Wen Xin, the British Gongyu, have the most outstanding past military exploits and the highest prestige in the army.

However, Liang Shiyan was the first Dazhou assassin (Xiangzhou assassin history) to be dismissed since Yang Jian was enlightened by Chan Kaisui, and Yang was resolutely unwilling to reinstate him unless it was a last resort.

Yuwen Xin is very different, he is known for his resourcefulness and decisiveness in the Northern Zhou army, and has the reputation of "living Zhuge ", but because he was not born in the Northern Zhou clan (Yuwen Xin's original surname is Po Yetou, Yuwen is his surname), he has never been reused in the previous dynasty, and his brother Yu Wenkai is now the crown prince Zuo Shuzi, is one of the most important palace officials in the East Palace, and it is the most appropriate candidate to use Yuwen Xin to assist Yang Yong.
