The reinforcements will not be put aside for the time being, but it is said that Emperor Yang of Sui, who is in Yanmen Pass, is really having a hard time now.

Shibi Khan was a man of great ability and ambition, and he spent his years on crusades in the steppes and became the undisputed first leader of the major Turkic tribes.

He said nothing on the grassland, and the order was unimpeded on the grassland, and the soldiers and horses under his command were strong, and the fierce generals were like clouds, and the once powerful Great Sui was already in the waning mountains, and today the son was arrogant and conceited, inconsiderate of the people's feelings, and wantonly squandered and expanded.

There are many excessively levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the powerful are arrogant and extravagant, the people are not able to make a living, the people are in trouble, and the people's grievances are boiling......

In the face of such a decaying and declining country, let the Turks, who had risen and were gradually moving towards glory, continue to pay tribute to the Great Sui, and Shibi Khan was naturally unwilling.

In August of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Shibi Khan learned that Emperor Yang of Sui was about to enter Yanmen Pass to inspect the matter, and immediately convened his generals to discuss and prepare to secretly attack Emperor Yang Luan.

At the end of August of that year, as soon as Emperor Yang of Sui entered Yanmen Pass, Shibi Khan led more than 200,000 troops to Yanmen, attacking and fighting, but in just a few days, 39 of the 41 cities of Yanmen were broken by the Turks, leaving only Yanmen City and Laoxian.

The terrain of Lao County is peculiar, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the territory is not big, there is still a distance from Yanmen Pass, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, holds tens of thousands of western troops, desperately sticks to Lao County, and it is not easy to take it for a while and a half.

Shibi Khan simply put Laoxian aside, ignored it, and attacked Yanmen City with all his might.

As long as the city of Yanmen is broken and Emperor Yang of Sui is captured, he will definitely be able to make the Great Sui cede land and pay compensation, and the status of the Turks and the Great Sui will be reversed.

As for the all-out march into the Great Sui, Shibi Khan did not have such ambitions.

Although the Great Sui is in the western mountains, the foundation is there, and there are many fierce generals, and it is not realistic to occupy the entire territory of the Great Sui in one fell swoop with the existing national strength of the Turks.

Capturing Emperor Yang of Sui, letting the Great Sui cede land and pay compensation, obtaining a large amount of property, and letting the Turks officially break away from the control of the Great Sui, this is the purpose of Shibi Khan.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the soldiers under the command of Shibi Khan attacked the city very bravely, and were ready to take Yanmen City in the shortest possible time.

Rao is Emperor Yang's Praetorian Guard is very brave, and there are still several times when they are beaten in front of the enemy.

The arrows of the enemy army attacking the city have been shot several times in front of the emperor's line, Emperor Yang of Sui was furious, and Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo Yiwei, suggested that the emperor take thousands of elite soldiers to rush out and break through and go to Laoxian.

The other ministers disagreed, thinking that this was too risky, and it was better to ask the emperor to personally comfort the officers and soldiers, boost morale, and hold on to help.

Over the years, there have been several personal expeditions, and the arrogant and conceited Emperor Yang of Sui quickly agreed to the latter suggestion.

He not only personally went to the city wall, but also personally held the big bow and shot at the enemy, Emperor Yang's move did play a great role in inspiring the soldiers on the city wall, and for a while, the defenders and the Praetorian Guards in Yanmen City were like chicken blood, one by one forgetting to die and fighting with the enemy.

This round of fierce attack of the Turks was quickly repulsed, however, just as the Turks retreated, a strong crossbow roared, grazing the sideburns of Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui was so frightened that he trembled all over, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, in order to protect his safety, Yu Wenshu and a guard who followed him were quick and helped him in time to prevent the emperor from making a fool of himself on the spot.

After this arrow, the little blood and courage born in Emperor Yang of Sui's heart suddenly faded without a trace.

He came down from the city wall and walked into his tent, and when only the queen and his youngest son Yang Gao were left in the tent, he dragged Yang Gao and hugged him tightly and trembled.

"Your Majesty." Seeing this, Empress Xiao sighed slightly in her heart, sat down beside him, and reached out to gently hold one of his palms.

"Sanniang, if we can't get through this catastrophe...... Emperor Yang of Sui raised his head and looked at his queen with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and with God's blessing, I believe that we will be able to turn evil into good fortune and be safe." Empress Xiao held his palm tightly, and said softly.

"Really?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked with little confidence, the impact of the scene on the city wall not long ago was too great.

Over the years, although he has been personally recruiting from time to time, when he was personally conscripted, he sat in Luan and became a mascot, really holding a curved bow in his hand, walking to the front of the battle, and the bloody battle was not his turn at all, and the courage and death of the Turks really scared him.

Three days later, when Emperor Yang was walking back and forth restlessly, the general Yu Wenshu hurried over and reported with a happy face: "Your Majesty, great joy, reinforcements have arrived." ”

"Reinforcements have arrived? Which side of the army? Emperor Yang was overjoyed and stood up.

"It is the soldiers and horses of General Yun Dingxing of the Zuotun Guard, the battle flag covers the sky and the sun, stretching for dozens of miles, there are at least more than 100,000 people, their vanguard army has rushed into the enemy camp and fought with the Turks, and the last general is preparing to send troops out of the city to join them inside and outside."

"Go, go." Emperor Yang of Sui urged again and again, and his face turned red with excitement.

When Yuwenshu left, Emperor Yang of Sui rushed to the city wall in person despite the obstruction of his ministers, but saw that under the city wall, the Turkic army was fighting with Sui, and the killing sound shook the sky.

Among them, there is a team of Sui troops who are particularly brave, this Sui army general holds a long lance in his hand, picks thorns left and right, and constantly has enemies fall under his lance, because of the distance, Emperor Yang of Sui can't see the person's appearance clearly, and can't help grabbing a guard next to him: "Who is that general under the city wall?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the distance is too far, and the last general can't see clearly, but it shouldn't be too old, if Your Majesty wants to see him, just wait for the war to end and then summon him." The guard who was caught by Emperor Yang of Sui was taken aback and whispered.

Don't talk about Emperor Yang of Sui's thoughts, but say that Shibi Khan, seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty, the plan to capture Emperor Yang of Sui is no longer possible, plus at this time he received information that there was civil strife in the base camp, and he suddenly had no intention of fighting again.

While detaching part of his troops and horses to engage the troops of the Great Sui, he ordered the troops to retreat in an orderly manner, and within half a day, the Turks retreated cleanly, and the siege of Yanmen was lifted.

Emperor Yang of Sui remembered the fierce general he saw on the city wall, and he never forgot this person in his heart, and as soon as the Turkic army retreated, he immediately summoned Yuwen Shu to ask: "General Yuwen, who will be the first pioneer of the Zuotun Guards?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the Li family Erlang of the Tang State Mansion." Yuwen Shu glanced at Emperor Yang and replied.

"It turned out to be Li Erlang? If I remember correctly, he is seventeen years old, if he is really a hero out of a young man, you go and bring him over, and you must meet him. Emperor Yang of Sui was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.

In the past few years, he has been suspicious of Tang Guogong and his family, but he didn't expect to come to the rescue, but it was his son who came to the rescue.

"Your Majesty." As soon as Li Erlang entered the emperor's line, he immediately bowed down to pay homage.
