.

Guang was still high and above, but he had already put down his posture. He tried his best to make himself better, but the moment he saw the crowds of people outside the city still made him feel uncomfortable.

He never had a time of embarrassment. Even if he failed to conquer Liaodong and Yang Xuangan rebelled, he could still let his subordinates resolve it with ease.

Yang Xuangan brought the old high door and raised his arms and shouted. Although there were many followers, it had collapsed in just half a month. But what happened now? Seeing the anxious faces of the ministers, Yang Guang suddenly felt sad. No one could save him this time.

Are you looking for the Valves in Hedong in Longxi? I ​​am here to eradicate them this time. I am looking for the elite soldiers of the Eastern Capital. But how long will it take for them to arrive? I feel embarrassed when I entered the city in a hurry, and even forgot to send troops to ask for help. Now I am surrounded by Turkic soldiers. How can I go out to report the news? Do I expect these powerful officials around me? But they all seem to be anxious. Who can I count on now?

"Master, the old minister has something to report." Su Wei stepped forward tremblingly.

"Tell me." Yang Guang waved his hand and glanced at Xiao Buyi.

"If the Turkic soldiers were really as Xiao Shaoqing said, with a total of 400,000, our situation would be really bad. Now there are only a few thousand defenders in the city, and the imperial guards led by the emperor have only more than 20,000."

"Four hundred thousand to twenty thousand?" Yang Guang murmured to himself, a little lost. He had used a million troops to conquer Liaodong. At that time, Liaodong had only tens of thousands of troops, but he still returned in a defeat. What can only 20,000 people do?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but express his doubts. He soon knew what these 20,000 people could do, and the 20,000 people ate no less than what he wasted every day.

"Sir, the old minister has counted it. The total number of soldiers and civilians in the city is about 150,000. The supply of food and grass in the city is only enough for twenty days. Please make a decision early."

"You mean, even if the Turkic soldiers cannot capture Yanmen City, we can only live for more than 20 days?" Yang Guang slapped the table and said angrily.

Su Wei said tremblingly: "That's the case. But if you want to save some food, you may be able to support it in a month. It's just that the soldiers and generals work hard to defend the city. If they can't eat enough, I'm afraid they will have a strange intention."

Yang Guang snorted coldly, turned his head and asked, "Yuwen Aiqing, what's your idea?"

Yuwen Shu hesitated, "Sir, the Turkic soldiers are strong. Now they are heading south suddenly, but after all, they are a group of mobs. The emperor has more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the Eastern Capital, so he can choose thousands of elite cavalry to protect them. At night, take advantage of the unstable Turkic soldiers to break out. Yanmen County is not too far from Loufan Taiyuan, and the Queshi Valley is even more dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even..."

"Master, never." Su Wei said hurriedly: "How can the Lord of the Ten Thousand Vehicles break through rashly? Yanmen City's walls are strong and the city defense is complete. We still have the strength to defend the city, but riding is the director of the Turkic soldiers. If the Master breaks through easily, it is not a wise move to defeat the enemy because of his own shortcomings."

Yuwen Shu snorted coldly, "But we are in the cage now." He originally wanted to say that the beast trapped in the cage was disrespectful to Yang Guang, but Yuwen Shu changed his words and said, "If we break through, we may be in danger, but if we are trapped here, there is insufficient food and grass. If there is no foreign aid, I am only afraid that the Emperor's safety will be even more problematic."

Yang Guang looked at Pei Yun with his eyes and said, "Pei Aiqing, what do you mean?"

"Weichen thinks what Suna said makes sense."

"Yu Aiqing, where are you?"

"My name," Yu Shiji is timid, "What does the emperor want? My subordinates just swear to follow him to the death."

Yang Guang angrily slapped the table, "You can't say anything other than death?"

Yu Shiji was frightened and sweating profusely. Yang Guang knew that he had no opinion. He could say that he was intrigue and flattering, but if he wanted to lead the army to fight and save people, he would be considered a question about Yu Blind.

"Come General, what do you mean?"

Yang Guang is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment. All the local ministers want to ask them one by one, hoping that there will be one of them that will highlight the strange plan and save you in danger. Although he also knows that this idea is very unrealistic.

Lai Hu'er pondered for a while before saying, "Actually, what General Yuwen said makes sense, but he puts the emperor in a dangerous place. According to the old minister's opinion, the Turkic soldiers came for profit and left without profit. Although Shibi Khan brought 400,000 people in a fierce manner, there were very few people with one heart. As long as we stick to the support, most of the Turkic soldiers, except Shibi Khan, were unprofitable, and most of the tribes would inevitably be tired and tired, and they would be tired and worried about returning home for a long time. At that time, even if the reinforcements did not arrive, we would be sure to break through again."

Yang Guang nodded, feeling that this idea was helpless, and at least it seemed to be more clever than other ministers.

"Since that's the case, we are currently defending the city and waiting for assistance. We are waiting for an opportunity to break through. Who will be responsible for defending the city?"

Fan Zigai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stepped forward and said, "Return to the emperor, Yanmen City is now surrounded on all sides. The Turkic soldiers have just fought and lost their generals. Their spirit has been greatly reduced. Let's stop the troops for the time being. I am afraid that they must be prepared for the attack. Generals, General Yuwen, Su Nayan and Weichen are responsible for the responsibility of the city. The city is fully guarded, and the Turkic soldiers are only good at fighting on horseback and do not attack the city for a long time. We should be in a good position to defend the city except for food and grass issues. However, the enemy is too strong now and our morale is not high. The emperor needs to do the land to boost morale and make everyone strive for the first place, so that the defense of the city will be foolproof."

“How to boost morale?”

"According to what I saw, the reason for the low morale was just because the emperor wanted to launch troops in Liaodong. The soldiers and generals were afraid that the emperor would exempt the Turks from the disaster, and then went to conquer Liaodong." Fan Zigai said in a deep voice: "If the emperor summoned and said that he would not conquer Liaodong in the next ten years and was dedicated to conquer Turks, then whether it was the soldiers in the city or the soldiers and civilians of each county, he would be at peace and fight for himself. If the emperor could comfort the soldiers himself and reward them with great rewards, he would surely be able to make everyone bravely take the lead. Why worry about the Turkish soldiers not retreating?"

After Fan Zigai finished speaking in one breath, the city of Liuhe was silent.

Xiao Buyi admired Fan Zigai's good words. In fact, he said it exactly what he wanted to say. But everyone knows that conquering Liaodong has always been a sensitive topic. It is easy to touch Yang Guang's rebellion. At the least, he was scolded, and at the worst, he might be exiled to the head. But Fan Zigai still dares to say that he is a loyal minister and is still considering the Sui Dynasty.

But he was patriotic, and the country might not love him. Yang Guang just looked at him coldly, and was speechless for a long time.

Fan Zigai did not shrink back. He looked at Yang Guang frankly and said in a deep voice: "Sage, the ministers are really speaking from the heart, and I only hope that the emperor will think twice. Now the army is approaching. The emperor should put the overall situation first. At present, which Liaodong Turks is more important, I think there is a certainty in the mind of the emperor."

Yang Guang was silent for a long time before saying, "What you said is not unreasonable, everything is done as Fan Shangshu said."

The ministers were filled with joy and were all very energetic. However, Yang Guang turned his head reluctantly and looked at Liu Fan and said, "Liu Fan, if you are not by the King of Qi, why are you going here to do?"

Liu Fan said all the words to Lai Hu'er again. He was loyal and passionate and refused to let others go.

Yang Guang nodded slowly when he heard this, "My son is considerate. Liu Fan, you risk your life to report the news. You are also loyal. You are not much different from Xiao Buyi.

Liu Fan glanced at Xiao Buyi and suddenly said, "Master, the loyalty of the minister is the duty of his duty, but the ministers come to risk their lives and death, and have long put life and death aside. But I don't know whether to talk about some things?"

Yang Guang frowned, "What are you going to say?"

Liu Fan suddenly turned around and pointed at Xiao Buyi, "My subordinates suspected that Xiao Buyi was a spy from the Turks."

Xiao Buyi was not surprised, and his face remained unchanged, but the ministers were moved, but they were just looking at Yang Guang.

"Oh?" Yang Guang said distantly: "How do you say this?"

Liu Fan felt confident. He had not seen Yang Guang say a word to Xiao Buyi for so long in Liuhe City. Moreover, when Yang Guang asked for advice, he never asked Xiao Buyi. Does this mean that Xiao Buyi is simply insignificant in Yang Guang's mind?

"Returning to the emperor, I suspect that Xiao Buyi is a traitor of the Turks, and it is not groundless! Xiao Buyi was originally a marriage envoy to the Turks, but it was not good at doing things, which made the Turks angry. Although Shibi Khan went south suddenly, no one knew whether it was related to Xiao Buyi's lack of success. This doubt was 1. Turkic soldiers went south, which was a very secret matter, but Xiao Buyi knew that they had great magical powers, which made Wei Minister very puzzled. The Turkic soldiers rode south for 400,000 horses, and there was no news at all the outposts, but he was able to safely arrive at the county and Yanmen City.

Tap 3. He went south all the way and first went to the county. He wanted to trick the King of Qi into opening the city gate. The King of Qi was puzzled and asked him to dismount, but he refused to enter the city. Instead, he injured the city soldiers and rushed to Yanmen City. If he hadn't been ulterior motives, how could he escape in panic? This suspicion is 4. Xiao Buyi was dressed in Turkic clothes and took off when he arrived at the county. Everyone guarding the city clearly saw it clearly. It was actually a fox's tail that forgot to cover it. These things were incredible to think of, but Xiao Buyi was unscathed. It was really hard to believe that he did not collude with the Turkic people."

"Is there any more?" Yang Guang asked.

Liu Fan couldn't figure out Yang Guang's thoughts and just said, "My subordinates felt that Xiao Buyi was full of suspicion, but he spoke with a loyal heart to the emperor and asked the emperor to decide."

"Xiao Buyi, what do you have to say?" Yang Guang finally looked at Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi was not angry or panic. He could even say that he had no expression, "I have nothing to say."

Liu Fan was overjoyed. He had known for a long time that Xiao Buyi was a good person, and it was rare to say nothing about him.

"The Lord, it seems that he knows that no matter how quibbling he can't escape the Lord's eyes."

"What do you think should be dealt with by Xiao Buyi?" Yang Guang asked suddenly.

Liu Fan looked around, hesitated, and gritted his teeth and said, "Return to the emperor, Xiao Buyi had an affair with the Turks, and he had a bad intention, so he should be executed according to the law."

Yang Guang nodded and waved his hand, "Okay, come here, push Liu Fan and behead him."

"The Supreme Master..." Liu Fan had not finished speaking, and he could not close his mouth, "The Supreme Master..."

He thought Yang Guang was wrong and said the wrong name for a moment, but the soldier ignored him. He came up and held Liu Fan down and dragged him out.

"The Lord..." Liu Fan said sadly: "Why did the Lord kill the ministers? Is it possible that loyalty to the emperor and patriotism also have a death penalty?"

Yang Guang stood up suddenly and pointed at Liu Fan furiously and said, "I want to kill you for ten or eight sections to relieve my hatred! If you are loyal to the emperor and the country, how would you frame Xiao Buyi? Xiao Buyi traveled thousands of miles and went to report the news without hesitation. After going through hardships, he was framed by a villain like you. How could I convince the public if I don't kill you? If I don't kill you, wouldn't it make the truly loyal people feel disheartened? Xiao Buyi was loyal and shot and killed Duji's dog thief, saving my face for the Great Sui Dynasty. You are not blind, didn't you see it?"

Liu Fan repeatedly shouted injustice. Yang Guang did not allow him to defend himself. Several soldiers dragged Liu Fan out. After a moment, they screamed. The soldiers presented Liu Fan's bloody head with a tray. Yang Guang just glanced at him and waved his hand and said, "Take it out and feed the dog."

The ministers were shocked, but Xiao Buyi still had no expression, but Queen Xiao nodded and smiled. She let out a sigh of relief.

Yang Guang was a little tired, and didn't say much, and ignored Xiao Buyi and said straight: "Tomorrow, I will personally go up to the city tower to appease the soldiers. You can accompany you."

**

Outside Yanmen City, Turkic soldiers and horses leaped and shouted, and they were in a mess. They attacked Yanmen City without any hesitation. In addition to besieging Yanmen City, they took turns to plunder and rob, and Yanmen County was already in dire straits.

Shibi Khan did not look proud. He finally realized that sometimes there were too many people and things were not necessarily successful. At least he had no choice but to do anything about the Yanmen City in front of him.

Yang Guang hid in Yanmen City and did not show his head. Fortunately, he knew that Yang Guang could capture Yang Guang in the city, not only could he gain a great reputation and a stable power, but he could also gain an unimaginable gold mountain, otherwise he would have given up.

The Turkic soldiers were only good at fighting horses and did not attack the city for a long time. The simple siege tools were no different from suicide for Yanmen City in front of them. There were more casualties and injuries, and the tribes had less motivation and hesitation. After all, they were seeking money and were very happy to watch others rob. The cavalry in the besieged city were shouting all day long to rob. If this continues, it would not be effective for a year.

"Coward." When Shibi Khan spoke these two words, he seemed to curse Yang Guang, or to speak of a shadow in his heart for many years. Looking at the tall and majestic and insurmountable Yanmen City, there was an enemy of his life, at least he thought so.

He had the goal of defeating Yang Guang since he was young. The grassland people died of heavy troops, but his father died of illness. What his father was proud of throughout his life was to rely on the troops of the Sui Dynasty to drive away Dulan and Datou Khan and lead the grassland people to live a peaceful life for several years, but in Shibidi's eyes, this was a lifelong shame.

When he was worshiping, he saw the arrogant expressions of the people in the Central Plains, and the humble expressions of his father, he stabbed his chest like a needle. This time he had been planning for a long time to capture this lifelong enemy. He wanted to see if Yang Guang was still so arrogant and unruly under his horse whip!

The forty-one cities in Yanmen County were captured by them in just a few days. Except for the county and Yanmen City, they are currently under their control.

He had never worried that the county would send troops to attack him, and that was also a coward. When Shibi Khan thought so, there was a hint of contempt on his lips. It was also good for him to play the tricks used by the Central Plains people. Back then, the emperors of the Central Plains always asked for help in order to get the support of the Turks. During the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, they all competed to present jewelry, wealth and princesses and beauties, hoping to get help from the Turks. Otherwise, Mugan Khan would not proudly say that I had two filial sons in the south, and they would give whatever I wanted.

Thinking of Shibi Khan, who was here, proudly held the horse whip tightly. He felt that Mugan Khan was the real hero in the grassland, and he also yearned for being such a hero. Now it seems that he is not far from this goal.

There are many people who want to be a son emperor, and there is one county. There are many people who want to betray the Great Sui Dynasty and become kings. At least now he knows that three or four so-called clans in the Central Plains have secretly begun to contact him, hoping to get his support in the future.

The people of the Central Plains hope to be unified and stable, but the families of the Central Plains

He took advantage of it, but he didn't care who would be the emperor, and who could give him the most princess and beauty is crucial. At the moment, as long as he caught Yang Guang, the rest seemed flat. He had taken the most important step, but he was stuck here and could not move. He wanted to resolve the battle here quickly, otherwise when reinforcements from various counties in the Central Plains arrived, he might not have a better chance to seize Yang Guang.

But now, when Shibi Khan thought of this, he looked up at Yanmen City and frowned.

"Khan." A soldier came from afar and said excitedly: "The tools for siege have arrived. We have collected the tools for defending the city from the rest of Yanmen County. Some of them can be used, and all of them are transported by subordinates. Khan, you see, those stone-striking machines are commonly used in the Central Plains."

Shibi Khan saw the rock rigging machine dragging it from afar, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that God really helps me!"

**

Yang Guang didn't think God was helping him. He now felt that even God began to go against him, even if God was going to do anything.

When the rock-stone machine was approaching Yanmen City, Yang Guang was still unaware of it, so when he was at the top of the city, he was still very calm. He finally became humble once in his life, listened to the advice of Fan Zigai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and walked up to the city gate tower to boost morale.

He was actually very unwilling to give up, and he didn't want to say in front of the soldiers that he would not hit Liaodong anymore. He even felt that his skin was being slapped heavily, and it hurt so hard.

When did it start to be unsuccessful? Yang Guang stood on the platform, but he was fantastic. When he was humble, he seemed to have never become an emperor. He was ambitions when he was the King of Jin, but there were a group of people who could speak. Yang Su, Gao Ying, Zhang Heng, and Xue Daoheng were all respected and respected by him. But now they are all dead. These people who could speak eventually died in his hands. Although Yang Su died of illness, if he hadn't been urged three times a day, he wouldn't have died that much. Now the old minister around him is Yuwen Shu. He is not stupid and knows that Yuwen Shu might have taken some

The envoys were money, but what was there? He had never expected his ministers to be honest and honest. What he needed was that these ministers could do something. Some people could do what others could not, so they were destined to get more things than others, such as himself, such as Yuwen Shu, and that Xiao Buyi! Even if he never thought that Duji, a lowly man who knelt down and bowed to the lowly people, would he lead the troops south to attack him? He knew that Yuwen Shu would never betray him. He had given Yuwen Shu a long time ago what Duji could give Yuwen Shu. A person in his seventies, how many years could he live, and still wanted to be an emperor?

Being an emperor is so tired. When Yang Guang sighed in his heart, he looked sad!

The ministers and generals looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor was thinking.

Looking at the familiar or strange face below, Yang Guang sneered in his heart. No one could understand him, and no one could know his majestic ambitions. He did not make plans for him, and his ambitions were lofty, but unfortunately he was not understood by ordinary people!

When he said in his hatred that he would not attack Liaodong, there was a cheer below, but Yang Guang was a little confused. This was what he relied on to the military generals. Didn’t anyone understand what they thought?

"You must do your duty and defend the city with all your heart and strength, so that the Turks will know the courage of our Sui generals and not lose face, well," Yang Guang pondered for a moment, and felt that only he valued the face the most, and the generals should not consider this. "If you can protect this time, when reinforcements arrive, I will definitely increase your ranks and you, and no matter whether you are general or soldiers, you will be rewarded!"
To be continued...
