Yuwen Chengdu's proposal made the atmosphere in the room awkward, the Holy Lord's northern tour was to punish Yang Yuanqing, but in the end it turned into asking Yang Yuanqing for help, which was a bit disgraceful, Pei Ju and Pei Yun glanced at each other, and their faces were a little unnatural.

At this time, he seized this opportunity and angrily reprimanded Yuwen Chengdu: "Yang Yuanqing is a thief and a thief, everyone is punished, you actually want to ask him for help, where is the face of the saint, what is your intention?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu was about to refute, but Yang Guang waved his hand and stopped their quarrel, "I don't want to ask Yang Yuanqing for help, so I won't mention this matter for the time being." ”

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Yuwen Shu angrily, and said no more, Yang Guang said to Pei Ju again: "Pei Aiqing, I also know that the negotiation is very dangerous at this time, but there is no way, negotiate with the Turks, I trust you the most." ”

Pei Ju knew that he couldn't hide, so he stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "I am willing to share my worries for Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang nodded, "I know that Aiqing will always come forward at a critical time, and this time I negotiate with Chief Hu, hoping that Aiqing will not be humble or arrogant, and will fight according to reason, so as not to lose the respect of the country." ”

"The minister would rather die than fall into the Great Sui Tianwei!"

Yang Guang heard him say that he was dead, sighed secretly in his heart, and said to everyone: "Recruit the world's soldiers and Qin King, I don't know who can break through and send letters?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, breaking through from the encirclement of 400,000 troops, how easy it was to say, Pei Yun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is almost impossible to forcibly break through, you can only use the way of mixing up to get out of the encirclement, and the minister recommends one person who can take on this responsibility." ”

Yang Guangxi, "Who does Qing recommend?" ”

"The minister recommended the original Western Turkic Terler Ashina Danai, he entered Beijing everywhere Luo Khan, has been following the Shengshang's side, participated in the battle of Liaodong, was named the court doctor, His Majesty can allow the Turks to collect the corpse at night, take advantage of this time, Ashina Danai can be mixed into the enemy camp to break through."

Pei Yun's method is excellent, everyone agreed, and Yang Guang immediately said: "Xuan He came to see me!" ”

In a moment, a eunuch led a Turkic courtier into the council hall, he was burly and tall, with a big beard and a mighty appearance, this person was called Ashina Danai, a Western Turkic royal family, and followed Luo Khan to the Great Sui in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and later settled in the Sui Dynasty, unwilling to return to China, he renamed himself Shi Danai, and has been following Yang Guang, and has been able to speak fluent Chinese.

He walked into the room and bowed, "Minister, Shi Danai, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing is flat!"

Yang Guang gave Pei Yun a look, and Pei Yun said about the fraud and breakthrough, and Shi Danai said generously: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not give up." ”

At this time, Yu Shiji next to him was a little worried: "Let Ashina break through, will the court think that it is a Turkic fraud?" ”

In fact, this is also Yang Guang's worry, he still doesn't believe in the Turks in his bones, he groaned for a while, and then Shi Danai blushed and said: "The minister is familiar with Li Shude, who stayed in Taiyuan, and the minister can give him his will, and he will announce it to the world." ”

This is okay, Yang Guang readily agreed, "Just according to what Aiqing said!" ”

．．．．．．．．

Pei Ju returned to his residence, cleaned up a little, his mood was a little heavy, when he sent an envoy to the Turks, persuaded Ji Sheh to accept the Sui Dynasty canonization as the southern khan, today he went to see Shibi Khan, can the other party spare him? Although the two countries are fighting each other and not cutting them, but that refers to the Central Plains, the grassland Hu people can ignore this set, Pei Ju has a feeling of more than auspicious for this trip, but he can't help it.

After Pei Ju finished cleaning up, he took two entourages out of the house, and just went out, he saw Pei Yun coming on horseback.

"Brother, are you leaving?" Pei Yun asked, holding the reins.

Pei Ju nodded and sighed: "Once you go, I wonder if my two brothers will be able to see each other again?" ”

Pei Yun was silent, he also knew that this trip was dangerous, but he had nothing to do, so he had to comfort: "After all, my brother is the prime minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, and his status is noble, although the two countries are fighting, Chief Hu will not be too rude, brother, don't worry." ”

Pei Ju smiled and said: "I am nearly seventy years old, as the saying goes, people are rare in seventy years, even if there is something, I have no regrets, I only can't let go of Yuanqing's side, my Pei Ju's biggest bet in his life is on him, I hope he doesn't go the wrong way." ”

Pei Ju took out a letter and handed it to Pei Yun, "This is the letter I wrote to him, if I can't come back, you can give him this letter for me, which is my last explanation to him." ”

Pei Yun took the letter, but didn't know what to say, Pei Ju looked up to the sky and smiled, "Let's go, let's go, Lao Ji Fufang, finish the last journey!" ”

He straightened his clothes, straightened his waist, and went to the city gate, which slowly opened, and the soldiers silently looked at his old back, one man and one horse, with two retinues, towards the Turkic camp.....

Although the Turks had learned to make advanced bows and arrows from the fleeing Sui people, and mastered some forging techniques, they were still far inferior to the Sui Dynasty in terms of manufacturing siege weapons, and more importantly, it took a long time to make large siege weapons such as ladders, battering rams, and nest cars, and they did not have so much time to prepare, so they could only cut down pine wood and make simple siege ladders.

Shibi Khan Duji rode a horse to inspect the combat readiness in the camp, the siege of the city is not what the Turks are good at, but today's first attack, but almost broke through the city, which made Duji find the weakness of the Sui army, their morale is low, the combat power is weak, as long as they attack the city quickly, at most three days, Yanmen City will be breached, imagining Yang Guang kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, Duji couldn't help but squint and laugh, this moment, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Qi Khan, Emperor Sui sent Minister Pei Ju to negotiate!" ”

"Pei Ju?"

Du Ji snorted heavily, this man dared to divide their brothers and divide the Turks, and it was just in time, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the king's tent.

In a moment, Pei Ju walked into the murderous Turkic camp with two entourages, as if entering a tiger and wolf's den, and there were constantly Turkic soldiers roaring fiercely at them, as if to tear them to pieces, the two entourages were so frightened that their legs trembled, Pei Ju turned his head and glared at them, "Don't lose the dignity of the kingdom!" ”

The two attendants lowered their heads in shame, didn't dare to look more, and followed Pei Ju to the depths of the camp.

At the door of the king's tent, there were dense Turkic guards, all of whom were mighty and vicious-looking, holding large axes and swords, standing in two lines, and there was only a narrow passage between the axes and knives, allowing only one person to pass.

Pei Ju calmly passed through the sharp knife and axe, ignored the fierce eyes on both sides, and walked into the king's tent.

There is no big tripod in the king's tent as Pei Ju imagined, the oil is boiling, on the contrary, the tent is neat and solemn, the two sides are full of Turkic high-ranking officials, which is completely different from the fierce and chaotic outside, quite a bit majestic, the big tent is covered with a felt carpet, and at the end sits a man in a golden helmet and golden armor, and a golden wolf-headed banner behind him, which is Shibi Khan, and there are four captive Han girls kneeling beside him, giving him a gentle beating of his legs and shoulders.

If the Qimin Khan still has a bit of recklessness, then when it comes to Shibi Khan, the recklessness is much lighter, and it is replaced by a kind of royal court atmosphere, which is a critical period of transformation from steppe nomads to steppe dynasties, Pei Ju is secretly frightened, and if the Turks continue to develop like this, they will have the ambition to seize the Central Plains.

Pei Ju stepped forward and saluted: "The angel of the kingdom Pei Ju see Shibi Khan!" ”

Ji Ji snorted coldly, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?" ”

The Turkic dignitaries on both sides shouted together: "Kneel!" ”

Pei Ju stood proudly, "I am a minister of the Great Sui Emperor, and the Khan is also a minister of the Great Sui Emperor, since they are all courtiers, why should I kneel?" ”

The Turkic officials on both sides were furious, and two big men came up to force Pei Ju to kneel, Pei Ju supported his body and refused to kneel, at this time Du Ji waved his hand, and the two big men retreated.

Du Ji said lightly: "I don't like to force others either, I like obedience and conquest, I want Pei Xiangguo to kneel down for me willingly, just like these women." ”

He reached out and lifted the chin of a young girl, squinted and smiled: "At first, they were not obedient, but after my overnight conquest, you see, they are now obedient to me like kittens, Pei Xiangguo, one day you will be like this, and soon." ”

Pei Ju smiled disdainfully, "I, Pei Ju, am not a sick cat, I, Pei Ju, am an iron-clad Sui man, read the book of sages and do chastity and martyrdom, so don't be delusional." ”

"Then wait and see!"

Du Ji was a little tired in his tone, as if he hadn't rested well last night, he walked up to Pei Ju with his hands behind his back and smiled, "Aren't you going to negotiate with me?" Very good, I can let him go and spare his life, but I have three conditions, and if I agree, I will send him back to Beijing, but if he does not agree, then I will catch him and let him wear women's clothes to serve me, and then three conditions will become ten conditions. ”

Pei Ju came with a mission, and he held back the anger in his heart and said, "You say, what conditions? ”

"The first condition, I heard that he has a daughter, named Aman, I like this name, she is twelve years old, she looks very good, since he refuses to give me Princess Yicheng, then give me this little princess, and I will let her be my youngest concubine."

Speaking of this, Du Ji looked up to the sky and laughed, and the Turkic officials next to him also laughed wildly, Pei Ju's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Du Ji laughed, and said coldly: "The second condition is that the Sui Dynasty is a vassal to the Turks, not only will he accept my canonization, but all future Great Sui emperors will accept my canonization, and the Empress of the Great Sui must be a Turkic woman." ”

Ji Ji glanced at Pei Ju deeply, and said: "Let me say the third condition, according to the rules of the grassland, the loser needs to pay a ransom to the winner, I let him go, the Sui Dynasty must give me 50 million pieces of silk as a ransom, in addition, in the future, 5 million horses of silk, one million horses of brocade and one million quintals of tea will be sent to the Turks every year." ”

In his opinion, it is much more interesting to negotiate the conditions after the capture of the Sui Emperor than to negotiate the conditions now, and he has no heart for peace talks at all.

Pei Ju's face changed greatly, and he said coldly: "Your condition is wishful thinking, dream!" ”

Du Ji shook his head, "Pei Xiangguo, it's not you who have the final say in the Great Sui, it's your majesty the emperor who has the final say, and your two retinues can go back to restore their lives, as for you, ......"

Duji squinted his eyes and vagina: "Don't you like to come to Turk very much?" Then I will fulfill your wish, and you will stay in the Turks to herd sheep! ”
