Chapter 1363 The strange dialogue between Xiaoyu and Khan
(Thank you very much ‘csn69’ for your monthly support and encouragement.)
When Zhang Jike was on a mission to the Turkic camp, Yang Guang, accompanied by Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Dugu Changsu and other important ministers, personally visited the troops in Dayan City and tried to improve the morale of the army as much as possible.
Near the city wall of Yanmen City, the prefect Zhou Fangpei had his men clear out a large open space.
In addition to the troops on duty at the top of the city, Yuwen Chengdu deliberately concentrated all the troops here. More than 10,000 county soldiers and more than 60,000 forbidden troops lined up neatly. The morale was a bit low, and many people's eyes were gloomy. Even when they saw Yang Guang and a group of important officials of the imperial court, they
There hasn't been much improvement either.
Yang Guang came slowly on the chariot. He stood on the dragon chariot. After Yuwen Chengdu ordered the army to kneel down and shout three times, he said loudly: "I promise you, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, as long as this
Once you block the Turkic army for me, as long as Dayan City is not destroyed, everyone who participates in the battle will be rewarded heavily. For each person killed, you will be rewarded one tael of silver. If you kill ten people, you will be awarded an official position. If you kill a hundred people, you will be made a general. If you kill a thousand people, you will be rewarded.
As a Marquis, I swear to the late Emperor that I will never allow any official in the imperial court to take credit for your achievements."
No matter how Yang Guang was regarded as the emperor, he was the emperor after all. The so-called emperor's words were true to his word. The soldiers were immediately excited and excited. After all, even if the emperor did not say these words or give them promises and guarantees, he still had to
Those who went up to the top of the city to defend the city.
Besides, there are still some loyal to the emperor in the imperial army. With these people taking the lead in shouting, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Long live your majesty, your holy sage! Long live!"
Yang Guang's official announcement and vows restored the morale of the 80,000-strong army and restored a lot of morale. This can be seen from their surprised looks and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Seeing that the 80,000-strong army had regained its high morale under his own instigation, Yang Guang was still very happy. He thought that I was still loved by these soldiers, but it was all the corrupt officials who came from a wealthy family that caused my country to be in pieces.

"The Turkic dog thief is simply wishful thinking!"
Zhang Jike left Nie Xiaoyu in the Turkic camp and returned safely. In fact, he didn't know when Nie Xiaoyu left him. But after he reported Shibi Khan's four conditions to Yang Guang, Yang Guang became furious on the spot.
He was so angry that he swept all the delicious food on the table that Zhou Fangpei, the governor of Dayan County, had worked so hard to get.
Yang Guang also admitted to asking for money and things, and he even admitted to dividing several counties. But he is such a proud person, although he is now so beaten that he is about to give up on himself, he has even thought about escaping this time.
Tian, after returning to Luoyang, he went to Yangzhou to let himself go completely and let the emperor's eldest grandson stay in Luoyang to take care of it for him.
country.
But no matter what, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, would never be able to follow Shibi Khan's conditions and not only kneel at the other party's feet while wearing women's clothes, but also dance. Moreover, he would include all the women in his harem and his concubines.
If you give it to Shibi Khan, he won't even be able to kill him.
Yang Guang can lower his head and ask for help from Wang Junlin because up to now, Wang Junlin has admitted that he is a king with a different surname in the Sui Dynasty and is Yang Guang's minister. At least everyone can live with it in terms of face, but his strong self-esteem is still
Now, he still has the bottom line of his own self-esteem. It is absolutely impossible to do such a shameful and humiliating thing to humiliate his ancestors under the conditions of Shibi Khan.
"Your Majesty, put down your anger. The Turkic Khan is asking for a huge price. You might as well slowly bargain with him. Anyway, our purpose is just to delay time. Your Majesty will never bow to the Turks. Maybe after King Qin's army arrives, your Majesty will still
Turn defeat into victory, and utter such a bad breath." Over the years, Zhang Jike, under the orders of Wang Junlin, lurked around Yang Guang as an aide when Yang Guang was still the prince. It lasted more than ten years. It can be said that he witnessed Yang Guang's transformation from a high-spirited and ambitious man.
How did Bo Bo, who thought he was an emperor, step by step become such a frustrated, twisted and suspicious emperor today?
To be honest, Yang Guang is quite good to the people around him, especially the people he trusts. Whether he is an official or rewards land, houses, women and property, he is very generous. Zhang Jike is one of them. He is said to be very generous to the people around him.
It is impossible for Yang Guang not to feel grateful and guilty.
Therefore, if possible, Zhang Jike will try his best to help Yang Guang have a good ending. At this time, he cannot bear to see Yang Guang look so decadent.
When Yang Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the greenness and anger on his face dissipated a lot.
"Yes! I have never thought about surrendering to the Turks, let alone surrendering. Why are I so angry? My army of King Qin will arrive soon. Although the traitor Wang Junlin is hateful, he will definitely not sit back and watch me.
I was killed by the Turks. As long as Wang Junlin comes, I will be saved." Yang Guang regained his composure and murmured to himself.
"Your Majesty is wise." Jingtian said quickly. He knew that these compliments were very necessary for His Majesty the Emperor at this time. They could restore His Majesty's confidence and prevent him from losing his mind.
"Jingtian, you go out of the city again, go to see the Turkic Khan, and tell him that I promise him a ransom of ten million taels of silver. I also agree to the silver and various things that he pays every year, but I will never agree to other conditions.
After you go, bargain with Shibi Khan, I allow you to make the decision, for one purpose, to delay as much time as possible. After Wang Junlin and other Qinwang troops arrive, I will cooperate inside and outside, I will counterattack, and I will let
At the beginning, Khan knelt at my feet and begged for mercy." Yang Guang said through gritted teeth.

"yes
You, eight years ago, it was you who detoxified Ben Khan in the Great Sui Palace and saved his life. How could you appear here?" In the tent of the king of the Turkic camp, Shibi Khan retreated.
He and Nie Xiaoyu were left alone.
Nie Xiaoyu stared at him and said, "It's great that you still remember me."
Shibi Khan said with complexity and gratitude: "Ben Khan went to the Sui Dynasty in the second year of Daye to participate in the birthday celebration held by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty to the queen. At that time, Ben Khan represented the Turks, and King Qin'an Wang Junlin represented the Sui Dynasty.
, and Yeon Gaesumun, the son of Yuan Taizu of Goguryeo, represented Goguryeo, and the Three Kingdoms competed in archery. Unexpectedly, the thief Yeon Gaesumun secretly used a poisonous needle on Ben Khan, in an attempt to make Ben Khan die in the Sui Dynasty, and started the Sui War.
During the war with the Turks, Ben Khan thought he would definitely die. It was you who saved Ben Khan, and Ben Khan will never forget it."
"Then do you still remember my name?" Nie Xiaoyu suddenly walked three steps in front of Shibi Khan. The two looked at each other, and Nie Xiaoyu said in a strange tone.
"I remember, your name is Nie Xiaoyu." Shibi Khan thought for a moment and replied.
But just as he finished speaking, or at the same time as he said the three words "Nie Xiaoyu", his body suddenly shook, and then he felt dazed for a moment.
"I want you to listen to me and do what I say, are you willing?" Nie Xiaoyu said again.
"If you want, I will do whatever you ask me to do, but I know you are from the Sui Dynasty and I can't retreat." Shibi Khan said without hesitation. For some reason, when he looked at Nie Xiaoyu, his eyes were full of weirdness.
His fanatical look is very much like that of later generations of fanatics, but his expression and behavior are quite normal.
Nie Xiaoyu said: "I will not let you retreat, because if you suddenly retreat immediately without any reason, the leaders around you will definitely doubt you and oppose you, and your position as Khan will be in danger. I just
As long as you don't retreat, obey my words and act."
"That's good, that's good. As long as we don't retreat, I will listen to you." Shibi Khan said while rubbing his hands.
"You ask someone to prepare a set of clothes, and I want to dress up as your personal soldier." Nie Xiaoyu said calmly.
The conversation between the two was full of weirdness at this point. Nie Xiaoyu didn't know what method he was using. It was obvious that Khan was not completely controlled, but as long as it didn't go against what he firmly believed in his heart, he would definitely listen to Nie Xiaoyu.
command.
…
…
Not long after, Shibi Khan suddenly called the heads of tribes and generals and ordered to divide 100,000 troops into five groups of 20,000 each to attack the five counties of Dayan County.
None of the Turkic leaders and generals had any objections to this order, and they all rushed to carry it out.
