Chapter 4: Gancheng (5 I)

After all, he had been the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, although he was not his forte, but he had only read half of Qu Tutong's recitals, and Yang Guang had clearly understood the strategic deployment of the Sui army for more than half a month.

I have to admit that under Qu Tutong's all-out mediation, all the reinforcements worked together to play a big game of chess. After harassing the Turkic flank with strange soldiers, confusing their military morale with rumors, and supplementing the front with strong confrontation and a "steady stream" of follow-up soldiers and horses, it can be said that no matter whether the tiger general Luo Yi is out of the fortress or not, the defeat of the Turks has been decided.

It was not a sudden discovery of conscience, but the situation forced him to betray Shibi Khan. Otherwise, his East Cythalhu has only a dead end! 'Wonderful! What my beloved generals do is truly wonderful! Yang Guang admired in his heart, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness.

It's a good game of chess that has never been played before, and it's interlocking and pressing every step of the way. Yang Guang, who knew the art of war, knew that even if he personally commanded, he might not be able to arrange it so exquisitely. However, in this wonderful game of chess, he, the Great Sui Emperor, acted as one of the chess pieces, a chess piece that attracted hundreds of thousands of Turkic main forces outside Yanmen City. The generals who arranged this game either had an absolute grasp of the strength of the defenders of Yanmen, or they didn't care about the life and death of the people in the city at all!

Yang Guang was even more reluctant to believe that the generals' attitude was the latter, but he felt extremely cold in his heart. It turns out that only my son-in-law is willing to live and die with me! He thought with a wry smile, his eyes followed the fold and looked down, and engraved the names of the generals attached to Qu Tutong's fold one by one in his heart.

He saw Yin Shishi and Yun Dingxing, and sneered in his heart. These two people are both talented people, and they have never had any opinions, so they must be following everyone to join in the fun. Seeing Yao Junsu, he was a little unwilling. Further back, he saw Yu Wenshi and the mentioned Li Xu, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Li Shimin, sighed, and put the fold on the imperial case.

There was silence in the palace, and even Yu Shiji, who was the best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, didn't know what to say to make Yang Guang happy at the moment. If you come forward to congratulate Your Majesty on commanding Ruoding and repelling Xiaoxiao outside the territory, it is equivalent to helping Qu Tutong and others say good things. Before getting the other party's filial piety, Yu Shiji was not sure what would do him benefit from doing so. If you take the opportunity to impeach Qu Tutong and others for acting without authorization, I am afraid that you will offend all the military generals again. Many of the generals who followed Qu Tutong to hunt down the enemy were descendants of Yuwenshu and Lai Hu'er, and it was too risky to offend the leaders of the two generals at the same time.

"Alas, these offspring cubs are also in a hurry to make meritorious contributions!" Standing in the second position of the generals' queue, the old general Laihu'er sighed in his heart. From the conversation between Yu Wenshi and Yang Guang just now, he had already guessed the situation outside. Based on the experience of the old general, he believes that the entire plan is led by Qu Tutong. That Lord Qu is known for being straightforward, and he has indeed done it when he gambles on the emperor's safety. But it shouldn't, it shouldn't, the other generals shouldn't follow the example of Yu Wenshi and rush into Yanmen City to say hello to His Majesty at the risk of death. It's like a house on fire, someone rushing into the flames and smoke to live and die with the trapped people, someone outside splashing water and breaking wood. In the end, the rescuer must be grateful to the guy who rushed to his side, even though he didn't actually do anything!

Just as everyone looked at each other, there was another noise outside the palace, from far to near. There are also human shouts and the noise of weapons colliding. For the oppressive atmosphere in the court, this is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Yang Guang, who couldn't find a person to vent, immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "On the contrary, I actually made a noise in front of my palace." As for the guards of the Forbidden Army, aren't you going to make me emperor anymore? โ€

"Don't dare!" Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town hall, immediately came out and responded. "Go out at once, and see who's making noise outside!"

"Look at what, cut it directly! Bring the head to me! Yang Guang slapped the imperial case with his hand. He felt his eyes darken, and his mouth was bitter. Qu Tutong found so many people to sign the signature, undoubtedly because of the large number of people to escape punishment. The old guy also repeatedly pushed the responsibility of the mastermind on Li Xu's head, so Li Xu is at best a fourth-grade martial artist, with little seniority and official positions, can he still control those old horsemen who have been in the army for many years?

"Your Majesty is angry for the time being, maybe it was the old general Qu who sent back the head of Shibi quickly!" Seeing that Yang Guang was very angry, Yu Wenshi had the heart to excuse his colleagues, and started playing with a smile.

"I, hum!" Yang Guang wanted to scold, 'I don't need him to pat on the back!' But in front of many courtiers, he must maintain a broad-minded image, paused, and said: "Even if he doesn't send it, I will personally raise troops to fetch it!" โ€

After a while, Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town hall, rushed back, without bringing anyone with him, but holding a bloody book in his hand.

"What is this?" All the civil and military forces were stunned. Judging from the still flowing blood stains on Yang Wenxuan's hands, someone risked his life to deliver this book to the gate of the palace. The noise outside the palace has been significantly quieter, and occasionally the autumn wind enters the curtain, carrying only one or two low wails.

"General Yang, what are you holding in your hand? Hugh will surprise Your Majesty! Yu Wenshu immediately went out of work and scolded everyone in front of him. To everyone's surprise, Yang Wenxuan, who had always been submissive to Yuwen, took a sideways step to avoid him and held the book straight in front of Yang Guang.

"There are generals who defend the city who risk their lives to break into the palace and want to dedicate this account book to His Majesty. The minister has already ordered someone to take him, as for what is written in this account book, the minister does not dare to look at it carefully, please Your Majesty to take a look! Yang Wenxuan held the account book high and started playing loudly.

It had been many years since he had been on the battlefield in person, and the strong smell of blood made Yang Guang nauseous. Without waiting for him to decide whether to take the account book, the imperial historian Pei Yun flashed out. "Your Majesty, how can you touch such a bloody thing. Weichen is not talented, willing to be the eyes and ears of His Majesty! โ€

"I'm afraid Master Pei won't be able to move!" Yang Wenxuan took half a step sideways, and very rudely blocked Pei Yun behind him. "Your Majesty, the bookkeeper is covered in blood, and there are many people chasing him behind his back. If Your Majesty does not see this object for himself, the brothers who died for it will die without turning a blind eye! โ€

No one had ever seen Yang Wenxuan so angry, blood was dripping on his five fingers, as if dripping from his veins. The account book in Yang Wenxuan's hand is definitely very important, otherwise the person who donated the account book would have been so seriously injured. Everyone's eyes were all attracted by the account book, and some people even quietly moved their bodies towards the imperial case, trying to sneak a glimpse of the scales and claws from the side.

Yang Guang also knew that there must be something strange in it, and regardless of the prestige of the Son of Heaven, he took the account book with his own hands and read it in a low voice in front of everyone. "Renshen, 1,000 stones, 10,000 arrows, Yi Jinzhu half a bucket, and 10 Ping'an Order. Jiashen, 2,000 stones, 10,000 arrows, Yi Jinzhu Dou ....... half Jiachen, 2,000 stones, two ends of Yi Jinzhu, five pieces of Hetian jade......"

In an instant, Yang Guang's dissatisfaction with Qu Tutong and others was completely forgotten outside the clouds. Yang Wenxuan sent a running account, which has been recorded from the day Yanmen City was besieged to the present. And the seller is very clever, and has been greatly increasing the price of grain and feather arrows. It's a pity that he didn't make this deal for the imperial court!

Someone is secretly trading with the Turks, no wonder the siege has been so long, and the Turkic wolf riders, who have never brought supplies, have not run out of food. The cunning guy found a way out for his family from the very beginning, and in the first transaction, he was exchanged for ten peace arrows.

If the Turks did not enter the city, they made a fortune in war. If the Turks entered the city, they could protect themselves by betraying the "merits" of the court and the people in the city. "Where is the man who delivered the books, and who is hunting him?" In his anger, Yang Guang completely lost his mind, and his voice was like the roar of a beast. "Yang Wenxuan, close the palace gate immediately, without my will, all civil and military personnel are not allowed to leave the palace. Come to Hu'er, take my sword, and follow the bookkeeper to arrest all those involved in this matter. I want to cut him off with my own hands and sacrifice my Great Sui Battle Banner! โ€

With that, he untied the Son of Heaven's sword from his waist and threw it to Laihu'er, who strode forward. Those who have the opportunity to steal and sell military rations can only be between the Son of Heaven Zhongjun and the Xiongwu Battalion, so Yang Guang instinctively chose not to believe in Yu Wenshi and. At the same time, he issued another edict to Xiao Yu, the waiter of the Inner History, and Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, "Xiao Qing, you immediately take people out of the city, and order Qu Tutong to give up the pursuit of the enemy army and enter the city quickly." Fan Qing, from now on, all the defense of the city will be handed over to you. โ€

"Minister, Honor!" Yang Wenxuan, Lai Hu'er, Fan Zigai and Xiao Yu bowed down to receive the order, and then hurriedly ran out of the palace gate. Then, a heavy squeak sounded outside, incessantly. Accompanied by this tooth-souring noise, the heavy palace doors closed one after another, separating the inside and outside of the palace, turning into two completely disconnected worlds.

"You, stand by my side!" After preparing for the worst, Yang Guang nodded at one of the palace guards closest to him and ordered.

The guard didn't dare to disobey the holy edict, and tiptoed forward and stood beside Yang Guang. Before he could stand still, he heard a second oracle.

"Untie your saber! Put it on my royal case! Emperor Yang Guangqiang of the Great Sui suppressed his heartbeat and ordered. He could hear his own thick gasps, and he could see the pale faces of his ministers. At the closed door of the hall, more than 30 guards lined up in two columns under the command of Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town hall, and eyed the ministers.

There are more than 1,000 palace guards under the command of Yang Wenxuan, all of whom are exquisite in martial arts. With the tall palace walls of the thick palace gate, they were enough to hold out for a day and a night under the attack of 100,000 soldiers and horses. But the high walls, thick doors, and loyal guards did not give Yang Guang any sense of security, and at this moment, all he could fully believe was the horizontal knife that the guards had just placed in front of him. The knife was made under the supervision of the Kaihuang period, and the handle of the knife is also engraved with the time of creation and the official title and surname of the overseer.

In October of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, the Great Sui Xingtai Shangshu Order, the total festival of soldiers and horses, the King of Jin, Yang.
