Chapter Ninety-Three: The Siege of Yanmen (2)
At night, Yang Guang settled the matter of Li Yuan during the day, and accepted a general like Li Yuanba, provoking the relationship between the Yuwen family and the Li family, this is really an arrow shot down a few eagles! Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ At this time, Huang Gonggong, the chief eunuch at the time, came to his side.
"Your Majesty, this Jinyang Palace has just been repaired, and it has also collected a lot of beauties, do you want to send two to you." When Yang Guang heard it, it was the so-called warm and thoughtful of people's desires, and Huang's father-in-law's words just spoke to Yang Guang's heart. smiled at Huang Gonggong, Huang Gonggong comprehended, and went out to lead in two palace beauties.
"See the Emperor."
"Raise your head!" The two beauties looked up in obedience. Yang Guang looked at the two of them, one as delicate as pear blossom morning dew, and the other as gorgeous as a begonia mist. Yang Guang was relaxed and happy.
"Good, good! Come here, talk to me! Huang Gonggong looked at it and went out with interest. After a while, the man's panting and the woman's moaning came from inside. Three strokes in the morning, Yang Guang hugged the two women and said softly:
"Concubine, now that we're all so familiar with each other, can you let me know something about you? For example, what is your name and what elders are in your family? Yang Guang held a naked woman in one hand and hooked them and asked.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's surname is Zhang, and she is the niece of Cheng Xue Lin of Hedong County."
"Your Majesty, the concubine's surname is Yin, her family background is not as prominent as Sister Zhang, she is the only daughter of the Hedong official Yin Arat, and when she heard that His Majesty was coming, she begged her father to send the concubine to the palace to wait for Your Majesty." Yin's background is lower after all, and in this era of rampant gate valves, he still feels that he is a dwarf after all. When Zhang Meiren next to her heard it, she angered the emperor and hurried to play a round:
"Long live Qiyu, Sister Yin grew up with me, I know that she has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and her personality is graceful, but she is a little shy in terms of personality, don't blame the emperor." Zhang's beauty and Yin's beauty don't know each other, but Yin Meiren's father gave Zhang Meiren some good jewelry, and Zhang Meiren also knew that it was dangerous in the harem, so he pulled Yin Meiren first and sold him a favor. After listening to this, Yang Guang scratched Zhang Meiren's little nose.
"Haha! I don't blame, I don't blame! Well! Zhang and Yin are two beauties to obey the order! β
"The concubine obeys the order!" Zhang and Yin, two beauties, knelt on the bed and listened to Yang Guang's message:
"The beauties Zhang and Yin are gentle and graceful, beautiful in appearance, deep and heartfelt, I now give the two beauties as Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yin, and bow to me. In addition, Concubine Yin's father, Lord Yin, taught his daughter meritorious service and was promoted to the rank of seven-rank official. Chin this! β
"Concubine thanks!" Concubine Yin immediately thanked Yang Guang after hearing it.
"Your Majesty, isn't it good for the concubines to wait for you? The concubine's uncle heard that the emperor was coming, and he also sent the concubine into the palace, and he was already telling the concubine to wait for the emperor well. Emperor. Zhang Meiren was coquettish in front of Yang Guang and snorted. Yang Guang originally liked to watch people compete for favor in front of him, but now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally doesn't want to save her face.
"Good! Xue Lin also has merit! Xue Lin was promoted to Hedong Taishou. Chin this! β
"Emperor Xie!" Concubine Zhang also thanked the emperor.
"Alright, Shane might as well be practical! Anyway, there is no early dynasty now, so the two concubines will accompany me more! After speaking, Yang Guang pulled the two of them into his arms again, and the panting and coquettishness of men and women sounded in the palace. Since getting the two beauties of Zhang Yin, Yang Guang Zhongri has been inseparable from them. Eat the same device, sleep in the same room. I have been staying in Jinyang for more than ten days, and then I set off to start another patrol under the advice of Queen Xiao, as the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad, Yang Guang is enjoying his happy time, and someone is preparing to release his cold arrow behind his back.

The Golden Horde of the Mobei Turkic Imperial Court Khan, Shibi Khan sits on the throne, and below is the secret agent sent by Shibi Khan to the Central Plains.
"You said that the Central Plains is now in flames, and rebellions are emerging in various places, is this true?"
"Yes, the Great Khan! Since Yang Xuangan's rebellion, coupled with the failure of the conquest of Liaodong, the folk songs of Muzi Deguo and Taoli Zhang have now been circulated among the people of the Great Sui, and it seems that the Yang family has lost the hearts of the people, so the Yang family now wants to go out to patrol the people to show their imperial power. The current Great Sui court is like a pile of dry firewood, which only needs a little spark to turn into a raging fire. Please let the Great Khan decide. After listening to the report of the secret agent, Dulan Khan began to enter the contemplative stage, since the fall of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the five chaos rose, and the grassland peoples all hoped to enter the Central Plains, sitting on the dragon chair of the emperor of the Central Plains, enjoying the brocade clothes and delicacies of the Han people, such as flower beauties. Calling for herds of Han Chinese slaves - two-legged sheep. 'Perhaps, this is an opportunity for me to let Yang know who is the real king'. Thinking of this, Shibi said to the secret agent:
"Go and invite all the noble elders to discuss the matter of entering the Central Plains, and remember, don't let Kedun know, don't reveal any news."
"Yes! Minions understand! "The spies retreated and found all the noble elders of the Turkic tribes.
"What, Khan, you want to make a sneak attack on the Emperor of the Central Plains, like the Xiongnu's Mao Dunshan besieged Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago." Hundreds of years ago, the Xiongnu's Mao Dun Shan Yu led 400,000 cavalry to invade the Great Wall, Han Gaozu Liu Bang led 300,000 troops to meet the battle, Mao Dun deliberately showed Liu Bang the old and weak soldiers and weak horses and thin cows, so that Liu Bang underestimated the enemy, lured Liu Bang into the Baishan Mountain and surrounded it, if it was not for Chen Ping's strategy, bribing the Xiongnu's Shan Yu wife with a lot of money - Yan Shi, and pretending that Liu Bang was willing to marry Shan Yu as his wife with the first beauty in the Central Plains, it was Mrs. Shan Yu who spoke in front of Mao Dun Shan Yu and let Liu Bang go, Later, the Central Plains Dynasty began to pay tribute to the grassland peoples, and later generations called it Heqin. Since then, the nomads of the grassland have greatly admired Mao Dun Shan Yu, and Mao Dun's siege of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in Baideng has always been the most praised heroic deeds of the grassland people.
"Great Khan, your decision is extremely wise, but I am still worried that the Central Plains is vast, and if we act rashly, I am afraid that when the time comes, stealing chickens and rice will not be successful, and we will not get much benefit, but will lose a lot of our soldiers and horses. Moreover, we are now divided into three kingdoms, and our strength is not as strong as before, and if we move, the other two countries may plunder against us, and the Khan will think twice. This Turkic noble elder saw that he was a cautious person, and he was a little displeased after hearing it, but seeing that what this noble elder said was also the truth, in order to achieve his own goals, he couldn't be brutal when he sent troops, so he smiled slightly:
"Elder is really cautious, but your worries are too redundant, I have sent secret agents deep into the Central Plains, knowing that the current Central Plains has begun to fall apart again, and in the future, the separatist forces of the Central Plains will compete with my Great Turks to pay tribute to gold, silver, brocade, and beautiful women and wealth will appear again, as long as we act quickly, after the matter is completed, the people of other tribes in the steppe will be even more afraid of us. After we have dispelled the arrogance of the Yang family, we will expand our strength, and after we are strong, we will take advantage of the division of the Central Plains to take the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and then raise troops to the grassland, unify the north and south, and achieve the unfinished great cause of our ancestors! Hearing Shibi's speech, all the Turkic nobles in the Great Tent shouted:
"Hooray! Banzai! β
"Let's go!" After Shibi Khan arranged the matter, he brought out the elite of the tribe in the name of hunting, and passed down the order that during his hunting, all the affairs of the tribe were still in charge of Kedun according to the custom. With the blessing of Khan, Shibi Khan led a large group of men and horses on a journey.
Yang Guang took Empress Xiao and Zhang Yin's second concubine to enjoy the beautiful desert scenery outside the Guan, all the way to Yanmen in the north of Shanxi, on the way, there were constantly officials to persuade Yang Guang to return to Chang'an, sort out the national affairs, not to patrol the country for too long, were dismissed by Yang Guang on the charge of discussing national affairs.
"The minister Yanmen is too guarded by Wu Yanqiu to welcome His Majesty, welcome His Majesty to Yanmen, the palace has been built, please move the emperor." Yang Guang didn't say anything, and drove directly to the Yanmen Palace. Wu Yanqiu was about to report that there was something unusual in the Turkic army in Mobei, but when he saw Yang Guang ignoring him, he was anxious, and happened to see Empress Xiao accompanying him:
"Queen Mother, the minister has a share of the rules here, and I hope that the mother will hand him over to Your Majesty at the appropriate time." Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang's attachment to Zhang Yin's second concubine was so much, and she was also a little unhappy in her heart, and after seeing this recital, she nodded to Wu Yanqiu. Empress Xiao came to the Yanmen Palace where Yang Guang lived, and saw that Concubine Zhang Yin and Yang Guang were messing around in bed, a scene of wine and extravaganceγγγγγγ Empress Xiao's anger was really unbearable.
"Your Majesty! The concubine has something important to report, you two goblins don't hurry up and get out of the palace, hurry up! When Second Concubine Zhang Yin heard Empress Xiao scolding them like this, she was a little panicked in her heart, and deliberately hid behind Yang Guang and trembled.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubines are so scared!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to protect your concubines!" The second concubine Zhang Yin was coquettish in front of Yang Guang, and she also took eye medicine in front of Queen Xiao, and Queen Xiao naturally knew in her heart that Yang Guang had always understood women's jealousy. For women and even more for courtiers, he liked this feeling. But Xiao Shi is his wife after all, and has made a lot of contributions to his ascension to the throne, and has given birth to children for him, before he became the prince, he was terrified; used to be lonely, and it was Empress Xiao who comforted him with a woman's unique tenderness, so even though Yang Guang became the emperor, there were many concubines who were favored by him, but the position of queen was still Xiao's.
"Don't be rude to the queen, you two should step back first!" After Concubine Zhang Yin went out, Yang Guang tidied up his appearance.
"Zitong! Tell me something important! Look at Zitong in a hurry. Wipe off the sweat! Yang Guang doted on Xiao Shi to wipe his sweat, and after Empress Xiao waited for Yang Guang to finish wiping, she handed Yang Guang a hand:
"Your Majesty, please look! This is an urgent report of the military situation in Mobei, and the soldiers and horses of the Turkic Shibi Khan have moved, as if the soldiers are coming towards my Yanmen. This thing really can't be guarded against! The concubine wanted to ask the emperor to drive the mainland to avoid the edge. Yang Guang watched the recital. Unfazed, he threw the music on the ground.
"Zitong is still a woman after all, don't worry about this, although my Da Sui has some difficulties now, but he is still strong and strong, why be afraid, a few horse thieves on the grassland are not enough to worry about, Zitong don't worry too much. Besides, I am the Khan of the world," Empress Xiao still wanted to persuade, but Yang Guang was already a little impatient.
"Queen, I'm a little tired now, please go back to your bedroom, it's really time to rest." When Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang was still so confident, she could only sigh in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please control your body and take care of your spirit! The concubine retired. After Empress Xiao saluted Yang Guang and said goodbye, Yang Guang's bedroom sounded extravagant again. Hearing this voice, Empress Xiao's heart was like a big stone pressing down, making her breathless. But there was nothing to do, so he could only return to his dormitory with a sigh. The spring night is bitter and short, and the day is high, and the king does not rise early from then on. Yang Guang did not take any precautions in the more than ten days in Yanmen, and only cared about singing, dancing and having fun with Zhang Yin's second concubine, but the Turkic Shibi Khan seized the time, traveled hundreds of miles a day, and directly ransacked the border towns around Yanmen. The defenders on the city tower immediately reported to Wu Yanqiu, the Taishou of Yanmen, and Wu Yanqiu immediately entered the palace to ask to see Yang Guang.
"What, there are a lot of refugees outside the city?"
"Yes, according to the report of the defenders, it was the Turks who ransacked the border town outpost and displaced them, and now they are asking for relief in the city, please ask the emperor to decide." Yang Guang heard Wu Yanqiu's report, but before he gave the order, someone came to report again:
"Report! Inform the emperor that a large number of Turkic cavalry appeared behind the refugees, a large number of people were killed and coerced, and all four gates of Yanmen were blocked, so please make a decision. β
"Wu Taishou, Yanmen is an important border town, how much grain, grass and ordnance are there now? How many soldiers? β
"Back to the emperor, Yanmen now has 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus the emperor's guards and horses, adding up to more than 50,000 people, but most of them are infantry, and the cavalry is less than 5,000. According to the current consumption rate, grain and grass can last for about half a month. β
"Why is the defense so lax, and the supplies are so scarce, you can't escape the blame for being too guarded!" Wu Yanqiu was very aggrieved when he heard this, because Yang Guang's two national policies of the Liaodong Canal had greatly reduced the supply of food and ordnance to soldiers and horses at the border gates. But since ancient times, the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and they are not loyal to death, and now Yang Guang wants him to carry the black pot, and he has to carry it. Thinking of this, Wu Yanqiu quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty to Yang Guang:
"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death! Please be gracious to the emperor! Empress Xiao saw it on the side and felt that this Wu Yanqiu was also wronged, so she stepped forward and persuaded:
"Your Majesty, now that the enemy is present, we should be united as one, which is the best way to solve the problem, this Lord Wu has been working diligently in recent days, please forgive him!" Yang Guang also knew in his heart that he was mainly responsible for today's incident, coupled with Wu Yanqiu's attitude, so he didn't want to be too embarrassed for Wu Yanqiu.
"Spread the decree, the soldiers and horses strictly guard the city, and they are not allowed to fight, Wu Yanqiu will be guilty of meritorious service, supervise the battle in the city tower, and there must be no mistakes, and in addition, light the beacon tower of Yanmen, and send elite cavalry to send a message to the neighboring cities, so that they can send troops to Qin Wang, Qin this!"
