Dugu Changsu did not dare to talk nonsense anymore and said: "First, Your Majesty went to the city in person, went to the army to boost the morale of the soldiers, appointed officials on the spot and made a wish. With the dignity of Your Majesty, the Emperor, the soldiers must believe that there will be rewards under the so-called heavy reward."
A brave man, I believe it will definitely improve the morale of the army."
Yang Guang nodded, expressing his approval of this strategy.
Dugu Changsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Second, your Majesty sent an envoy to negotiate with the Turkic Khan. You might as well make peace with the Turks first, agree to some conditions first, and then deliberately delay the time. After the reinforcements arrive, the siege will surely be relieved.
"
Everyone nodded, and Yang Guang also expressed his deep agreement and approved the suggestion. It must be said that although Dugu Changsu was extremely selfish, he was able to become the leader of the Dugu clan, the most powerful clan in the world, and his talent and intelligence were indeed outstanding. However,
Just now, he was eager to escape, and he also looked down on other people. As a result, his selfishness was exposed and almost led to death.
Everyone's opinions tended to be unified. Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Jingtian and others also expressed their approval of these two strategies. However, Yang Guang suddenly asked: "From Fanyang County to Dayan City, the army is coming as quickly as possible. What is needed?"
for how long?"
As soon as Yang Guang said these words, the scene fell into silence. Everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor's discouragement when he said these words. They knew that His Majesty had completely lost confidence and finally no longer took his own face at heart and put it first.
.
Of course His Majesty the Emperor wanted to ask when the Far East Army led by Wang Junlin would arrive. Obviously, in Yang Guang's view, even if other King Qin's armies arrived, they might not be able to relieve him. Now he only believed in Wang Junlin's Far East Army.
Have such strength.
But half a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor led everyone to discuss how to deal with Wang Junlin. Now His Majesty the Emperor is looking forward to Wang Junlin leading the army to arrive as soon as possible. This is a bit embarrassing. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
But the strange thing is that neither Emperor Yang Guang nor the ministers ever doubted whether Wang Junlin would come, even though Wang Junlin's intention to rebel was already very obvious.
This is of course related to what Wang Junlin has been doing and the way he behaves.
No matter what everyone says about Wang Junlin, there is no doubt about Wang Junlin's righteousness, and everyone also knows that if His Majesty the Emperor falls into a sudden situation,
The Turks may have died at the hands of the Turks. What did it mean to the country of the Sui Dynasty, and what did it mean to the millions of people in the Sui Dynasty.
Even if Wang Junlin didn't care about the life and death of the emperor and his ministers, he would definitely lead a large army to come to the rescue in order to prevent tens of thousands of people from being massacred by the Turks in the Sui Dynasty.
No matter how everyone sighed and felt awkward, His Majesty the Emperor's words still had to be answered. Pei Shiju, who was most familiar with the world's geography and roads, stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if Wang Junlin leads the Far Eastern Army at full speed, it will be impossible for him to arrive in half a month."
I will definitely be able to make it there."
When Yang Guang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hated Wang Junlin now, he had to admit that he had become more and more dependent on Wang Junlin over the years.
When Goguryeo was defeated and the country was shaken, it was Wang Junlin who turned the tide;
Yang Su rebelled and was about to lose the capital. When the country was gone, it was Wang Junlin who turned the tide;
Rebels were everywhere in the world, and when the Central Plains rebels even threatened Luoyang, the capital, Wang Junlin led 5,000 troops to kill him in various counties in Henan. Perhaps the purpose was not for Yang Guang, but he also rescued him;
Now that he was surrounded by the Turkic army, he subconsciously believed that only Wang Junlin could turn the tide and save him.
Yuwen Chengdu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin sent three messengers, and they took the relatively safe Youzhou route. In addition, the Military Intelligence Office of Wang Junlin's Far Eastern Army may have been keeping an eye on your Majesty's itinerary.
Now, I heard that Wang Junlin's military information is conveyed by a kind of flying eagle. Maybe before my messenger arrives, Wang Junlin will already know the news that His Majesty is besieged by the Turks, and lead the army to arrive in advance. Therefore,
Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you hold on to the city and possibly delay it, you will be able to wait until Wang Junlin leads the Far Eastern Army."
At this time, Yang Guang could no longer care about the embarrassment and nodded: "If Wang Junlin can save me this time, it won't matter if I reward him with the entire six counties of Hedong as a fief."
Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, time is pressing. Please send an envoy out of the city to negotiate with the Turks to delay the time, and then go to the city head army to improve the morale of the army."
Yang Guang took a deep breath and said, "What Yu Aiqing said is absolutely true."
As he spoke, Yang Guang glanced at everyone in the room.
The man said: "I wonder if any of you, my dear friends, would be willing to go on my behalf and serve as my envoy to go out of the city to negotiate with the Turks."
Everyone lowered their heads with unnatural expressions. Everyone knew that this was a matter of narrow escape and no one was willing to die if they could live.
Yang Guang was angry, and finally focused his attention on Pei Shiju, saying: "Pei Aiqing, I also know that it is very dangerous to go out of the city to negotiate with the Turks at this time, but you have been on many missions to the Turks, and now you are negotiating with the Turks. I trust you the most.
You, are you willing to take on this important responsibility for me?"
Pei Shiju had long thought that the emperor would think of him first, but he had already prepared a reason to evade, saying: "Your Majesty, I was ordered by your Majesty to go to see the younger brother of Shibi Khan last year to carry out the alienation plan. Now it seems that
The younger brother of Shibi Khan had betrayed us a long time ago. The two brothers teamed up to put on a show for us to deceive His Majesty and make him lose his vigilance, which led to the current situation. Therefore, the two brothers of Shibi Khan must be
I hate you so much. Not only will I not be able to accomplish anything and delay time, but it will also arouse the anger of Qibi Khan and make the Turks attack the city even more fiercely. Therefore, for the sake of your Majesty's life, I ask your Majesty to send someone else.
"
Pei Shiju's reasons were very good. When Yang Guang heard this, he really did not dare to send Pei Shiju. He looked at other people, but the five cabinet ministers standing at the front did not say anything and lowered their heads.
At this time, Jingtian, who was standing behind, sighed secretly, took a few steps forward, stood out, bowed deeply to Yang Guang, and said: "Your Majesty has shown me the kindness of knowing you, and I am willing to risk my own life to share your worries with you!"
When Yang Guang saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, thinking that there were still loyal ministers who would die for me. He excitedly stepped forward two steps, grabbed Jingtian's arm, and said emotionally: "Jingtian, I read that right.
You, please go, I will not treat you badly, I will make you the Duke of the country, make you the minister of the cabinet, and I will reward you with ten thousand gold."
Jingtian said solemnly: "I would like to thank your Majesty. It won't be too late. I will go and prepare now."
Yang Guang nodded again and said: "This time we are negotiating with the Turks Shibi Khan. I hope that I will not be humble or overbearing, but I will fight for my reasons, not lose the dignity of the superior country, and delay the time with the Turks as much as possible."
Jingtian said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I die, I must delay it as much as possible without losing my great Sui Tianwei!"
