Chapter 4 Dry City (10)

After all, he once served as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition. Although strategizing was not his strong point, he had only read half of Qu Tutong's memorial. Yang Guang had clearly understood the Sui army's strategic deployment for more than half a month.

I have to admit that under Qu Tutong's full mediation, the reinforcements from all walks of life worked together to play a big game. They harassed the Turks' rear with surprise troops, disrupted their military morale with rumors, and supplemented the front with strong confrontation and "a steady stream of"

With the follow-up troops and horses, it can be said that whether the Huben General Luo Yi comes out of the fortress or not, the Turks' defeat has been decided.

Ashina Gutuoru didn't suddenly realize his conscience, but the situation forced him to betray Shibi Khan. Otherwise, his and his enemies will only die! 'Brilliant! What my beloved generals did is true.

Incomparably wonderful!" Yang Guang praised in his heart, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness.

This is a game of chess that has never been better than before. It is interconnected and pressing step by step. Yang Guang, who understands the art of war, knows that even if he personally directs it, he may not be able to arrange it so exquisitely. However, in this wonderful game of chess, he, the

However, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty only 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 were either absolutely sure of the strength of the Yanmen defenders, or they

They don’t care about the life or death of the people in the city!

Yang Guang was even more unwilling to believe that the attitude of the generals 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, looking down at the memorial.

, and engraved the names of the generals who were attached to Qu Tutong's memorial in my heart.

He saw Yin Shishi and Yun Dingxing and sneered in his heart. Both of them were people with average talents and had never had any independent opinions. They must have joined in the fun with everyone. Seeing Yao Junsu, he seemed a little unwilling. Looking back, he looked

When they arrived, Yu Wenshi and Li Xu, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Li Shimin whom he had mentioned before, sighed and placed the memorial on the imperial case.

There was silence in the palace. Even Yu Shiji, who was best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, didn't know what to say to make Yang Guang happy at this moment. If he stepped forward to congratulate His Majesty for commanding Ruoding and repelling the foreign Xiaoxiao, it would be equivalent to helping Qu Tu.

Tong and others said good things. Before getting the respect from the other party, Yu Shiji was not sure what benefit it would have to him. If he took the opportunity to impeach Qu Tutong and others for acting without permission, he would probably offend all the military commanders and forces. Follow Qu Tutong.

Many of the generals who were chasing the enemy were direct descendants of Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer. It was too risky to offend the leaders of the two generals at the same time.

"Alas, these youngsters are so eager to make meritorious deeds!" Old General Lai Huer, who was standing second in the queue of generals, sighed inwardly. From the conversation between Yuwen Shiji and Yang Guang just now, he had already guessed the situation outside.

They were inseparable. Based on the experience of the old general, he believed that the entire plan was led by Qu Tutong. Lord Qu had a reputation for being forthright, and he was indeed capable of gambling on the emperor's safety.

But it should never be done, it should never be done, none of the other generals should imitate Yu Wenshiji and risk his life to rush into Yanmen City to say hello to His Majesty. This is like a house on fire and someone rushes in

In the flames and thick smoke, they lived and died together with the trapped people, and some people were anxiously pouring water and tearing down wood. In the end, the rescued people must be grateful to the guy who rushed to their side, even though this guy actually didn't do anything!

Just when everyone was looking at each other, there was another burst of noise outside the palace, from far to near. It was also mixed with the noise of people's shouts and the collision of weapons. To the depressive atmosphere in the court, this was like adding fuel to the fire.

Adding fuel to the fire. Yang Guang, who couldn't find someone to vent to, immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "You're on the contrary, you are making a noise in front of my palace. Where are the imperial guards, aren't you ready to treat me as the emperor?"

"I don't dare!" Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town hall, immediately came out and responded. "I will go out immediately and see who is making noise outside!"

"What are you looking at? Just behead it! Bring the head to me!" Yang Guang slapped the imperial case with his hand. He felt that his eyes were turning black and his mouth was filled with bitterness. Qu Tu

Having found so many people to sign the petition, he was undoubtedly using the power of numbers to avoid punishment. The old guy also repeatedly pushed the responsibility of the mastermind onto Li Xu, who was at best a fourth-grade martial artist with little official qualifications.

, can he still control those old men who have been serving for many years?

"Your Majesty, please calm down for the time being. Maybe General Qu will send back all the heads immediately!" Seeing that Yang Guang was very angry, Yu Wenshi decided to excuse his colleagues and started with a smile.

"I, hum!" Yang Guang wanted to curse, 'I don't need him to flatter me!' But in front of many courtiers, he had to maintain a broad-minded image. He paused and said solemnly: "Even if he doesn't send it,

, I will also personally raise troops to get it!"

A moment later, Yang Wenxuan, the general in charge of the palace, rushed back. He did not bring any heads with him, but he held a bloody book in his hand.

"What is this?" All the civil and military officials were stunned. Judging from the blood stains on Yang Wenxuan's hands, someone risked his life to deliver this book to the palace gate. The noise outside the palace had already begun.

It has obviously become smaller. Occasionally, the autumn wind blows into the curtains, bringing only one or two low wails.

"General Yang, what are you holding in your hand? Don't startle Your Majesty!" Yu Wenshu immediately went out to scold him before everyone else. To everyone's surprise, Yang Wenxuan, who had always been submissive to Yu Wenshu, walked sideways.

He avoided him with one step and raised the book directly in front of Yang Guang.

"A general guarding the city risked his life and broke into the palace to present this account book to His Majesty. I have already ordered someone to take him away. As for what is written in this account book, I dare not take a closer look. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" Yang

The propagandist 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 feel nauseous. Before he could decide whether to take the account book, Pei Yun, the imperial censor, stepped out. "How could your majesty, your Majesty, touch such blood?"

I am a humble minister with no talents, but I am willing to be your Majesty’s eyes and ears!”

"Master Pei, I'm afraid I can't move!" Yang Wenxuan took half a step sideways and impolitely blocked Pei Yun behind him. "Your Majesty, the person who presented the account book is covered in blood, and there are many people chasing him behind. Your Majesty, if

If you don’t see this thing in person, the brothers who sacrificed for it will die with their eyes open!”

No one has ever seen Yang Wenxuan so angry, with blood dripping from his five fingers, as if drops of blood were dripping from his veins. The account book in Yang Wenxuan's hand is definitely of great importance, otherwise the person who presented the account book would have suffered so severely.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the account book. Some people even quietly moved towards the imperial office, trying to peek at the side of the account.

Yang Guang also knew that there must be something fishy in it. Regardless of the emperor's majesty, he took the account book with his own hands and read it in a low voice in front of everyone. "Renshen, a thousand stones of rice, ten thousand arrows, half a bucket of gold beads."

, Ping'an ordered ten arrows. Jiashen, two thousand stones of rice, ten thousand arrows, half a fight of Yi gold beads... Jiachen, two thousand stones of rice, two ends of Yi gold beads, five pieces of Hetian jade..."

In an instant, Yang Guang's dissatisfaction with Qu Tutong and others was completely forgotten. What Yang Wenxuan sent was a running account, which was recorded from the day when Yanmen City was besieged to the present. The seller was very clever and kept keeping records

He is greatly increasing the prices of grain and arrows. Unfortunately, he is not doing this business for the imperial court!

Someone is secretly doing business with the Turks. No wonder the city has been besieged for so long, and the Turkic wolf cavalry, which has never brought supplies, has not yet run out of food. The cunning guy found a way out for his family from the very beginning. In the first transaction,

In exchange for ten peace arrows.

If the Turks do not enter the city, they will make a lot of money from the war. If the Turks enter the city, they can protect themselves by betraying the court and the people in the city. "Where is the person who sent the account book? Who is chasing him?"

Kill him?" In anger, Yang Guang completely lost his mind, and his voice was like the roar of a wild animal. "Yang Wenxuan, close the palace door immediately. No civil and military personnel are allowed to leave the palace without my order. Come and protect your son, and take mine with you.

Wear a sword and go with the person who delivered the account book to capture all the people involved in this matter. I will kill him with my own hands and sacrifice him to my Great Sui War Flag!"

After that, he took off the Emperor's sword from his waist and threw it to Lai Hu'er who strode forward. People who had the opportunity to steal military rations could only be between the Emperor's Central Army and the Xiongwu Camp. Therefore, Yang Guang instinctively

He chose not to trust Yuwen Shiji anymore. At the same time, he gave another oral instruction to Xiao Yu, the minister of internal history, and Fan Zigai, minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, "Xiao Qing, take your people out of the city immediately and order Qu Tutong to give up chasing the enemy.

Enter the city quickly. Fan Qing, from now on, all the defense of the city will be handed over to you."

"Your Majesty, I respect your order!" Yang Wenxuan came to Hu'er. Fan Zigai and Xiao Yu bowed to accept the order, and then hurried out of the palace door. Then, a heavy creaking sound sounded outside and continued. Here.

Accompanied by the heartbreaking noise, the thick palace doors closed one after another, isolating the inside and outside of the palace, turning it into two completely disconnected worlds.

"You, stand next to me!" After making the worst plan, Yang Guang nodded to the nearest guard in front of him and ordered.

The guard did not dare to disobey the oracle, so he crept forward and stood beside Yang Guang. Before he could stand upright, he heard the second sentence of the oracle.

"Take off the sword! Put it on my imperial desk!" Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty suppressed his heartbeat and ordered. He could hear his own heavy breathing, and could also see the pale faces of the ministers. The closed palace

At the door, more than thirty guards, under the command of the general Yang Wenxuan, lined up in two rows and stared at the officials.

There are more than a thousand palace guards under the command of Li Shu Yu Yang Wenxuan, all of whom are exquisite in martial arts. With the thick palace gate and tall palace walls, they are enough to hold on for a day and night under the attack of 100,000 soldiers and horses. But high walls,

The thick door and loyal guards could no longer give Yang Guang any sense of security. At this moment, all he could fully believe was the Hengdao the guard had just placed in front of him. The knife was supervised during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, and there were still stains on the handle.

It is engraved with the time of creation and the title and surname of the person who supervised it.

In October of the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, during the Sui Dynasty, Shangshu Ling went to Taixing, General Military Festival, King of Jin, Yang. (To be continued)
