"My dear friends, you have worked hard these days. The fact that Yanmen City was able to hold on until Ashina suddenly repented is all due to Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Aiqing who led the soldiers at the top of the city to defend the city. Of course, the other people who ensured food and grass below the city are also responsible.
The credit is indispensable." Yang Guang rarely took the credit for Ash's aggressive surrender to himself, and he waved his hand vigorously, interrupting everyone's flattery.
Yang Guang's eyes were still red and swollen. He didn't know whether it was because he stayed up too late or was too frightened. But judging from the expression on his face, the emperor who almost became a Turkic herdsman was obviously very happy with the current results. He knew it.
The ministers were flattering, and he was unwilling to point it out. He just acted modestly, and then he praised the ministers who had always been frightened by him.
However, he did not mention the contribution of Wang Rengong, Li Shimin and other Qinwang troops. Li Shimin and Wang Rengong immediately looked at each other, took the lead and knelt down, and said in unison: "I am waiting for help to come too late, please punish me."
Yang Guang snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said: "I know you can't be blamed for this. It's all Wang Junlin's fault. He dared to use my life as bait to kill the Turks. If not
Ashina Dubi finally came to his senses and surrendered to me, wouldn't it be that I had already fallen into the hands of the Turks?"
Wang Rengong, Li Shimin and others quickly said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise."
…
…
"The imperial edict does not need to be too complicated. I don't think he can understand Ash's overly complicated words!" Because the civil and military ministers showed enough respect, Yang Guang has completely restored the majesty and magnanimity of His Majesty the Sui Emperor.
, and what he said is very consistent with what Confucians see as the requirements of a magnanimous lord of heaven.
"Yu Aiqing, I leave this imperial edict to you to write. Ashina's heir is still anxious to return to the outside of the Great Wall to interrogate Shibi Khan for me. Don't let him wait too long!" Yang Guang said thoughtfully,
But when these words fell in Li Shimin's ears, he suddenly felt that the Sui Emperor in front of him had turned into a fool, a lunatic, and a self-deceiving idiot.
"I have accepted the edict, and I am going to write the imperial edict." Yu Shiji came out, bowed and saluted Yang Guang, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am not talented enough and may harm the country. So I will invite your Majesty after I have written it.
Correction. In addition, I thought that Ashina was a young heir. Since he had sworn allegiance to the Sui Dynasty, your majesty could make him a Turkic Khan, so that he would be grateful to your majesty and never rebel again!"
"I agree with Lord Yu's words. I would like to go to Ashina Dubi's camp to read out the imperial edict and promote the power of Sui Dynasty!" Pei Shiju, unwilling to lag behind, strode out of the line and said loudly.
Yang Guang would never know that his two most trusted ministers, Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji, had received a heavy gift from Ashina Dubisi last night, and that these treasures were actually from other treasures plundered by the Turks in Yanmen County.
The county town was acquired by the people of the Sui Dynasty, but Shibi Khan did not have time to take it away, so he left all of it to Ashina's heirs.
Ashina was so courageous that he took out half of the treasure, which was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and used it to bribe Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, the two most trusted people of the Sui Emperor. That's why we have what we have today.
In Li Shimin's opinion, it was simply a ridiculous scene.
What Ashina Dubi Si bought from Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju at such a high price was two promises. First, he hoped that His Majesty the Sui Emperor would make himself the new Turkic Khan just like he did to Shibi Khan.
Because he knew that even if his brother could escape back, his prestige would be greatly reduced. He could use some means to replace him when he went back.
Second, he hoped that the Sui Emperor would issue an order to recall the Sui troops who had already fought deep into the grasslands, so that his people would not have to pay the price for this southern expedition.
The aloof Yang Guang suddenly straightened up, with a face full of surprise. He heard clearly the advice of Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, his two most trusted ministers, but what he didn't understand was when the Sui soldiers and horses had arrived.
The home of the Turks.
Yang Guang was also very curious about who used this exquisite trick to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
"Your Majesty, it was King An of Qin who sent a group of elite soldiers to land on the north side of the Goguryeo Peninsula by sea and kill the Turks' home base." Li Shimin suddenly bowed and said.
Yang Guang snorted coldly and did not answer. Li Shimin laughed secretly in his heart and stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, I think we should kill the Ashina Dubi heir, and then kill all the 30,000 Turkic troops under his command." Yuwen Chengdu, who had been suppressing his anger, suddenly jumped out of the crowd and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the reason why Ashina Dubi asked to surrender was because he was forced by the situation and not out of his original intention. Since our Sui soldiers and horses have arrived at the Turkic lair, we should plow the court and clear out the holes. Let this
All the Turks in the sub-southern expedition will remember this lesson."
"I agree with General Yuwen's suggestion!" Zhang Jike stepped forward quickly and echoed loudly.
Yuwen Chengdu was His Majesty the Emperor's most trusted general. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Rengong gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the descendants of Ashina Dubi and the Turks outside Yanmen City should be killed.
"
"Your Majesty, although Ashina Dubisi repented at the last moment, he was never sincere. Just because he showed repentance, we must not forget that he once led troops to siege Yanmen City."
After Wang Rengong, a large number of military attachés stood up and suggested that Yang Guang should not agree to any conditions of Ashina Dubi and that all Ashina and the Turks should be killed.
Only Li Shimin was deep in thought and remained silent, attracting the angry looks of Yuwen Chengdu and other generals.
Pei Shiju coughed slightly, and immediately several scholars came out after hearing the sound, strode forward, and had a tit-for-tat debate with Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Jike and others. They were all famous scholars who Yang Guang asked Pei Shiju to come forward and supported him with a lot of money.
Every word he spoke was quoted from classics, he was knowledgeable about the past and present, and his words were righteous. For a while, he actually had a deadlock with Zhang Jike and a group of military generals.
"We, the Sui Dynasty, are the celestial dynasty, so we should have a broad and tolerant attitude." A scholar who was full of elegance and seemed to be a well-educated scholar had a compassionate face, as if he had seen his enemies with his own eyes and shed tears of gratitude for the kindness of the Sui Dynasty court.
Another famous Confucian from the south of the Yangtze River immediately stood up and said: "Mencius said that the benevolent are invincible. When he robbed his people, he separated their wives and children. Your Majesty took into account the hardship of their people's livelihood and forgave their sins. When the people heard this,
I must remember your majesty's kindness and my heart will turn away from his king. Once the peace agreement is concluded, if the chief wants to regret it, his people will not dare to respond. In this case, our Sui Sui border fortress does not need a single soldier to garrison it, and it is as solid as a golden city and a pond!"
"I would like to ask you two, how can the people of the barbarians know the kindness of my Majesty the Sui Dynasty because they cannot understand the language of the Central Plains?" Although Zhang Jike knew that Wang Junlin had other plans, he still suppressed the anger in his stomach and asked loudly.
"Education, from this we can see the importance of education! Only if the words of the ancient sages are regarded as the supreme ones in the world. If they are deeply promoted and practiced widely, if it does not exceed ten years, the land outside the transformation will also be the Central Plains..." On the Debate
Who can compare with these famous Confucian scholars in terms of their merits, each and every one of them talks lofty words? Although Zhang Jike is also a scholar, he was actually a bandit strategist. How can he compare with these people?
"Fuck your parents!" Yuwen Chengdu has led people to defend the city these days. He has seen with his own eyes the death of nearly 100,000 defenders and only a few thousand people. Most of the people in the dynasty have died. He already hates the Turks and wants to kill them.
All the Turks in the world could not stand up to these famous Confucians, and they were so angry that they cursed them. If His Majesty the Emperor was not here, he would have wanted to crush these people to death.
