430 Lose face

Yuwen Chengdu's two arrows shot at the door of Du Ji like a meteor catching the moon, and a burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the city.

Shibi Khan saw Yuwen Chengdu at the head of the city standing up like a god, disturbing his emotions like thunder, and then shot arrows, but at this time he no longer dared to use the longbow or horsewhip in his hand to call the arrows.

As soon as Shibi Khan raised his shield, he heard a violent sound of "dang", which shook his arm numb.

At the same moment, another arrow from Yuwen Chengdu grazed the upper edge of the shield, cutting the peacock's tail on the hat of Shibi Khan into two pieces.

"Shibi Khan is dead, and you can't retreat quickly!" Yuwen Chengdu shouted, and two more arrows were shot.

This time, Yuwen Chengdu's two arrows were shot at Shibi Khan's shield, but he was forced to retreat again and again; The Turkic army watched Shibi Khan's guard of honor move backwards, and immediately slowly retreated.

Pei Yuanqing saw that the army outside the city had a tendency to retreat, and immediately said urgently, "Your Majesty, the ministers invite troops to fight." ”

Yu Wenshu said urgently, "No." ”

Yang Guang watched Yuwen Chengdu stand up for himself, and immediately became overjoyed, and directly ignored Pei Yuanqing's request to fight.

After Shibi Khan retreated a stone's throw away, he reorganized the next round of attacks.

The Turkic army slowly approached the range of bows and arrows on the city, and a new round of arrow rain began again.

This time, the Turkic army also sang a song, "The autumn wind rises and travels thousands of miles." Thousands of miles to go, across the desert to build the Great Wall. The boy is wise, the camp of the first saint. Shuzi Wanshi policy, peace this billions of trillions"

Although the Turkic soldiers sang in Chinese, they were parroted and misarticulated.

After listening to three or five sentences, Yang Guangcai reflected, and immediately changed color, and shouted angrily, "Thieves dare!" ”

The Turkic soldiers sang exactly what Yang Guang did when he canonized Duji as the new khan in the fifth year of the Great Cause.

At that time, the Great Sui was rich in the country, and all the Yi came to the dynasty; Yang Guangwen is a martial artist, the scenery is infinite, and the poems he makes are even more condensed and ambitious.

But the poems he made back then, combined with the arrows around him, the faces of the ministers around him were like earth; Isn't it like the rhythm of being ripped off and slapped in the face when you just ascend to the heights?

However, seeing that the Turkic soldiers were not good at attacking the city, Yang Guang's heart slowly settled down.

waited until the Turkic soldiers had climbed halfway through the struggle to let the soldiers release their arrows and poke out their spears; There were screams in mid-air, and countless Turkic soldiers fell, suffering heavy casualties.

The soldiers defending the city relied on the high-walled battlements, and there were almost no casualties, Yang Guang saw this, so he slowly walked down the city under the escort of Yuwen Chengdu and others.

Shibi Khan saw that he couldn't get any benefits, but he could only collect his troops early, but he set up countless camps around Yanmen City, obviously making up his mind to catch turtles in the urn.

Yang Guang returned to the temporary palace and discussed the matter of retiring from the army.

Yu Wenshu suggested, "Although our army is leaning on the Yanmen Pass and is dangerous, the thief army is good at riding and shooting, and the grain and grass in the city are not enough for our army to eat for 20 days. ”

Su Wei shook his head again and again, and insisted, "Defending the city is what we are good at, and what the enemy is good at is running; If we were to raid, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for Your Majesty if the Khan were to outflank him with all his might? ”

"The last general also thinks that what Nayan said is very true, we should find a way to hold on to the city now, and it is only reasonable to hold on until the reinforcements are made." Fan Zigai expressed support for Su Wei's view.

Xiao Yu, the waiter of the Inner History, also nodded in agreement with Su Wei's proposal, and further put forward his own thoughts, "While we are waiting for rescue in Yanmen City, we will send someone to ask Princess Yicheng for help, so that she can also think of a way." ”

Xiao Yu's idea comes from Liu Bang's story, when Liu Bang encountered the siege of Baideng, he used Chen Ping's strategy to bribe Mao Dun Shan Yu's wife, so that he was able to get out of danger.

Xiao Yu's proposal had rules to follow, which naturally attracted a burst of echo from everyone.

In fact, Xiao Yu's opinion is very in place, but there is one of the most urgent problems to be solved in front of him, that is, how to hold on to the city; If the morale of the soldiers in the city was low, they might not have waited for the arrival of the imperial rescuers, and the city would have been breached by the Turkic army.

Yu Shiji looked at the hall and was silent for a while, and immediately said with an expressionless face, "It's better for Your Majesty to go and comfort the soldiers in person." ”

Yu Shiji has always been happy and angry, and Yang Guang couldn't see his true thoughts for a while, so he just asked, "What kind of soothing method?" ”

"First, tell the soldiers that if everyone can return to the Eastern Capital safely, the imperial court will not consider sending troops to fight Goryeo; Second, those who have made meritorious contributions in defending the city will be rewarded after returning to the court. Yu Shiji immediately said the answers to the two questions he had considered a long time ago.

When Yang Guang heard this, his face sank, and he could hear the needles falling in the temporary palace.

Yang Guang's northern tour, in fact, has two ideas in his bones, the most important thing is of course the problem of face,—— now among the big countries around the Great Sui, the most conspicuous except Goryeo is Turkic, he suffered a loss in the three expeditions to Goryeo, and going to Turkic at this time is nothing more than to come back with face early.

Yang Guang felt that if the Turks could be obedient in front of him, even if he didn't ask for any benefits in front of Goryeo, at least he could maintain a little dignity in front of other countries.

Secondly, Yang Guang also hoped to be able to persuade Duji to fight against Goryeo together.

In the past, when Yang Guang wanted to conquer a small country, the Turks were always the first to stand up and be the vanguard, and Yang Guang often gave them face, such as the Khitan War; During the first expedition to Goryeo, Yang Guang felt that it should be easy, so he did not think of asking the Turks to help, in fact, at that time, Du Ji did not take the initiative to ask for war, which already explained a lot of problems

On the next two occasions, Yang Guang thought that the dignified Sui could not take Goryeo one after another, and he couldn't save face, so he still didn't ask the Turks to send troops to help. But now the situation is different, first of all, the domestic situation in the Sui Dynasty is tense, and secondly, the attitude of the Turks is far less respectful than the original Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, Yang Guang had to pull the Turks to send troops together, only in this way could he lighten his own burden, and also ensure that the Turks and the Great Sui were on the same line.

But now, I really want to be on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!

Yang Guang now hears "Zheng Gaoli" again, and his face feels panicked, but in his bones, he still hopes that Gaoli will one day be convinced of him

Yang Guang pondered for a long time before he nodded and said, "Yu Aiqing is right, and you have to be more specific about the issue of resealing and rewarding, so that the effect will be more obvious." ”

The ministers were all overjoyed and in good spirits, but Yang Guang turned his head a little reluctantly.

Yu Shiji listened to Yang Guang adopt his own suggestion, and immediately hit the railway while it was hot, "Recruit King Qin from the counties and counties of the world, it may be too late in time, and the minister still suggests that you can't give up this hope." ”

Yang Guang nodded and asked the most practical question, "Recruit the world's soldiers and Qin King, I don't know who can break through and deliver letters?" Communicate with Princess Yicheng, who should be allowed to go? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was not easy to break through from the encirclement of 400,000 troops!

Seeing that no one asked for help, Pei Yuanqing immediately stood up, "The last general will recommend one person to Your Majesty, or you can go to the Turkic royal court." ”

Yang Guang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Pei Yuanqing said slowly, "It's Li Jing of Mayi County." ”

When Yang Guang heard the name of Li Jing, he immediately remembered the national polo team back then, and couldn't help but think of Su Youlai.

In Yang Guang's heart, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "Su You, Su You, if you were by my side, maybe I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation, right?" ”

Under Su You's deliberate blockade, Yang Guang only knew that Su You had occupied a small territory in Nanzhong and was struggling to survive at the moment

Outside Yanmen City, the Turkic soldiers and horses shouted, in addition to besieging Yanmen City, they took turns to go out to plunder and plunder, and Yanmen County was already in dire straits.

Shibi Khan knew that Yang Guang was in Yanmen City, and knew that if he captured Yang Guang, he would be famous all over the world, and all countries would come to court.

But Yanmen City is like a golden mountain, but he has no way to speak, he has an army of 400,000, but there is nothing he can do about the small Yanmen City in front of him.

Su Wei did not expect it badly, and Shibi Khan himself knew that the Turks were good at running thousands of miles, but attacking cities was always a shortcoming.

Although Shibi Khan was the king of the Turks, the composition of the Turkic army was similar to that of the Eastern and Western armies in Nanzhong, which were temporarily grouped together by various departments and temporarily accepted his leadership for the same goal.

What was the goal of the Turkic army? Obviously, it is not Yang Guang, but for money.

Shibi Khan is now bent on besieging Yang Guang, obviously not doing his job properly, and it is not the desire of the people.

If the time of besieging Yang Guang did not delay the robbery, it is estimated that the leaders of the various tribes who followed him to the Central Plains would not say anything, but they really had to pay the price of their lives, and these people would soon lose their motivation.

The Turkic army, like the Pubu in Nanzhong, is good at fighting with the wind.

But the current situation is a dilemma for Yang Guang, and it is not the case for Shibi Khan.

Shibi Khan looked at the tall and impenetrable Yanmen City in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh often, and clenched his fists tightly.

The pride of Qimin Khan in his life was to rely on the forces of the Great Sui to drive Dulan and Datou Khan away, and led the steppe people to live a peaceful life for a few years.

But in the eyes of Shi Bi, this is the biggest shame, he has been aiming to defeat Yang Guang since he was a child.

Seeing the high-flying and domineering look of the Central Plains people, and seeing the humble and lowly expression of his father, Du Ji's chest was as if a needle had been pierced; He has been planning for a long time this time, just to capture this lifelong enemy, and wants to see if Yang Guang is still so arrogant and unruly under his horsewhip!

Shibi Khan believes that Yang Guang will always remember this day.

In fact, not only Yang Guang, but all the people of the Great Sui will remember this day on August 13 in the 11th year of the Great Cause.

On this day, Yang Guang, the Ninety-Five Supreme of the Great Sui, was trapped in Yanmen by an army of 400,000 led by the Turks, like a headless fly.

A few days later, thirty-nine of the forty-one cities of Yanmen County were captured by the Turks, and in addition to Yanmen City, there was also Yang Guang's son Yang Ying, who guarded Lao County, which was also temporarily part of the territory of the Great Sui.

According to the information from Princess Yicheng, this time Shibi Khan went south, most likely in collusion with Yang Yu inside and outside.

As early as the moment Yang Guang turned back to Yanmen, he no longer regarded Yang Ying as his son; Not only that, but he secretly swore to eat his flesh and burn his bones!
