Chapter 44: Princess Aman

"!"

Shibi Khan detained Pei Ju, and the harsh conditions proposed made Yang Guang furious, he drew his sword and slashed at the table, the sword was embedded in the table and could not be pulled out, Yang Guang simply kicked the table over, and the eunuchs in the room were so frightened that they fell to the ground, they had never seen the saint lose his temper so much.

Yang Guang's face was pale, he would rather die than accept such a humiliating condition

"You all step aside, I want to be alone for a while."

The eunuchs all retreated, Yang Guang walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at a plum tree outside the window in a daze, his heart was extremely irritable, he never dreamed that the Turks would go south in a big way, making his northern tour dangerous, and even threatening his life.

The rulers of the Sui Dynasty, whether it was the first emperor Yang Jian or Yang Guang, adopted a two-handed strategy of prevention and Huairou to the Turks, the Turks were wolves, and they could be appeased by Huairou, but they could not lose their vigilance, and he built the Great Wall in the third year of the Great Cause, and strictly controlled the trade with the Turks, all out of precautions against the Turks, but he still did not expect that the Turks would take advantage of his northern tour to make trouble.

Yang Guang sighed softly, in his father's deathbed instructions, the three enemies of the Great Sui, the Guanlong nobles, the Northern Qi Zahu and the Turks, actually broke out at the same time against the Sui Rebellion, which made him feel a huge pressure in his heart, at this time, the Great Sui can be described as internal and external troubles.

Yang Guang didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the window, he felt something, and when he turned around, under the light, he saw his daughter Princess Danyang appear behind him.

"Aman, is there something wrong with you?" Yang Guang asked softly.

Yang Fangxin bowed her head and was silent, and after a while, she suddenly knelt on the ground, "If the daughter's body can change the safety of her father, then the daughter is willing to marry the Turks in the north." ”

Yang Guang only felt that his nose was sour, his baby daughter was willing to sacrifice herself to save her father, he quickly helped her daughter up, and laughed softly: "Don't say stupid things." ”

Yang Fangxin could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart, she threw herself into her father's arms, tears welling up from her beautiful eyes and crying silently.

Yang Guang gently stroked his daughter's hair and comforted her, "My father will not marry you to the Turks, not only will my father be reluctant to let you go, but more importantly, this is a matter of the dignity of the Great Sui, he is humiliating me, I would rather die than let him be humiliated." ”

"My daughter too, if the city is broken, my daughter will die, and he will never be humiliated."

"You are a good boy of mine, you are sensible, and I will not let you be wronged in the slightest matter what."

At this moment, Yang Guang made up his mind, "Xuanyuwen Chengdu is here to see me!" ”

"Father, what are you ......?" asked Yang Fangxin puzzled.

"I must get out of this difficulty before I can think about other things, and calling Yang Yuanqing to rescue the driver is the most effective way at the moment."

"Father, is he responsible?"

"Since he keeps saying that he is not anti-Sui, then he should come."

After a moment, Yuwen Chengdu walked into the room quickly, bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"General Yujian, I decided to summon Yang Yuanqing to rescue the driver."

Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, this is a wise move. ”

"But is Stanai gone?" Yang Guang asked worriedly.

"Your Majesty, Shi Danai has already left, but the minister thinks that there is no need to summon Yang Yuanqing, he will definitely take the initiative to rescue the driver, as long as His Majesty admits that his rescue is a righteous act, then there will be no problem."

Yang Guang sighed, "If he is willing to come to the rescue, then this time I can admit him!" ”

In Yanmen City near the city wall, due to the demolition of the houses, the formation of a wide open space, at this time, the open space is full of troops, 10,000 county soldiers and 90,000 forbidden troops, they are lined up neatly, Gong Ming Jialiang, a car slowly coming, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang stood on the dragon chariot, inspected the military prestige, 300 cavalry guards in the car around the car.

"Hooray!"

As the car drove by, a tsunami-like shout sounded, Yang Guang's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the air, and the 100,000 army quieted down.

"I promise you that you will completely stop the war of Goryeo, stop conquering Goryeo, and defend the Turkic ...... with all your might."

"Hooray!" The three armies cheered.

"All the officers and soldiers of the three armies, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy, as long as we can defend against the Turks this time, then all those who participate in the war will be rich and rich, and I will never allow the court officials to swallow your merits with their swords and pens!"

The soldiers were extremely excited, and they raised their arms and shouted, "Your Majesty, long live!" Hooray! ”

"Those who have meritorious service in defending the city will be directly awarded the official position of the sixth grade, and the reward will be 100 horses, and the reward for those who have an official position will be increased in turn......"

Yang Guang's announcement of the official seal made the mood of the 100,000 army begin to boil, the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami resounded throughout the city, the morale and fighting spirit of the 100,000 army were stimulated, and the courage to defy death filled everyone's heart.

In a small house, Danyang princess Yang Fangxin sat in front of the bed, her personal maid Yu'er disappeared when she escaped, she was the only one in the room, she turned a deaf ear to the passionate shouts outside, her heart was full of helplessness and sadness, just now she heard two eunuchs discuss, Yanmen City is too small, it can't be defended at all, and the food is not enough, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken.

Yang Fangxin couldn't help but feel sad about her fate, once the city was breached, then she would also become a prisoner, to serve the grassland Hu chief who humiliated her father and trampled on the dignity of the Great Sui? No! Never! She would rather die.

Think of 'death'. She slowly pulled out a sharp dagger from under the pillow, the dagger flashed with cold light, as long as she sent this dagger to her chest, she could end her young life, she was only twelve years old, her fragrance was about to wither in this small border city, I don't know what words will be engraved on her tombstone, Yang Fangxin, the princess of Danyang of the Great Sui? Or a small tombstone, a nameless girl.

The inexplicable sadness filled the heart of this weak girl with helplessness and loneliness.

On the official road east of Heyang County, 50,000 troops are marching rapidly in the direction of Yulin County, waving flags, the momentum is immense, Yang Yuanqing is dressed in iron armor, wearing an eagle edge gold helmet, his eyes are cold, above his head, a red eagle banner hunting and flying.

This is the fifth day that Yanmen City has been besieged, and in the face of the attack of 400,000 troops, can Yang Guang's 100,000 forbidden army support it? Yang Yuanqing also had a trace of worry in his heart.

Although Yang Guang's northern tour resolved the crisis in Fengzhou, from a political point of view, he had to send troops to relieve Yang Guang from this siege in order to gain fame and righteousness, and alleviate the crisis between him and Yang Guang.

This Yanmen incident is a huge challenge for him, but it is also a major opportunity, depending on how he grasps it.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a personal guard reported: "Chief, General Su is here!" ”

"Order him to come."

Su Lie rushed to the bird and said, "The end will be!" ”

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said: "This time I want to hand over an important task to you, according to the marching habits of the Turks, the 400,000 army marches south, and there must be logistics hundreds of miles away from the rear, you can lead the 5,000 cavalry of the headquarters to look for it, if you can destroy their logistics, it is the best, if you can't destroy it, you will also disturb them, and cut off the supply of the Turkic army." ”

Yang Yuanqing handed him a military order, which contained a detailed order.

"The last general obeys!"

Su Lie took the military order, turned his horse's head and ran towards his subordinates, and after a while, an army of five thousand people left the brigade and ran to the northwest, Yang Yuanqing stared at Su Lie and immediately ordered, "Speed up!" ”

The 45,000 troops sped up, and Baiyulin County sped away.

At this time, Yulin City is already an empty city, stationed with 5,000 Turkic cavalry, placed at the gate of the Sui Emperor Yang Guang huge Liuhe wooden city, the circumference of eight miles, is a movable city, in the eyes of the Turks, this god-made mobile castle will be their proud trophies, not only mobile Liuhe City, 100,000 Sui troops lost a large number of tents, food, books, clothes and other heavy weights when they retreated urgently, are also piled up in Yulin City.

The arrogant Shibi Khan firmly believed that Yang Yuanqing did not have the courage to challenge his army of 400,000, and that Yang Yuanqing should hide in his Fengzhou like a turtle.

But the 5,000 Turkic defenders could not have imagined that just after the dawn, a Sui army of tens of thousands appeared outside the city of Yulin, and it was no longer realistic to defend the city, the gate of Yulin City was seriously damaged by the Turkic army, when they destroyed the city gate and the drawbridge, they used to laugh arrogantly in a victorious attitude, but only then did they realize that destroying the city gate was the most stupid mistake they had made, and it would make them pay a heavy price.

Five thousand Turkic defenders abandoned the city and fled, but were intercepted by 10,000 Fengzhou Sui troops, the two armies fought fiercely a few miles east of Yulin County, at this time tens of thousands of Sui cavalry had been overwhelmingly killed, Yang Yuanqing waved his sword, and ordered sharply: "Annihilation!" ”

Under the front and rear attack of the Sui army, the 5,000 Turkic cavalry quickly collapsed, the cavalry scattered and rushed, each fled for his life, and was killed by the Sui army all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and it was chased out for more than ten miles, killing more than 4,000 enemies......

"Report to the chief, the remnants of the army have fled far away, do you want to continue to chase?"

Yang Yuanqing didn't have any interest in this small battle, he just killed a few of the guards of Shibi Khan, there was nothing to be excited about, and it was too early to leave the celebration banquet.

He waved his hand, "Collect the troops and return to Yulin City!" ”

The military order came quickly, and groups of soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, and the army regrouped and headed for Yulin City.

Yang Yuanqing came to the huge Liuhe City outside the West City, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this wooden city with a complicated gaze, this wooden city he had been up countless times, he was a courtier to meet the supreme ruler of the Great Sui.

But today, like an outcast, weak woman, alone in the wilderness, it has no power to resist in the face of all the strong who look at it.

The gate of Liuhe City was locked, and an arm-thick iron chain was wrapped around the gate, and it was clear that Shibi Khan also had a crush on this Liuhe City, and did not allow Turkic soldiers to enter and destroy it.

"Open the door!"
