Chapter 1406 The sudden appearance of the horse thief
At this time, Yang Guang was completely conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't want to be led by Wang Junlin, which made him feel humiliated and very unhappy.
On the other hand, Wang Junlin had already violated his will and annihilated most of the Turkic army led by Ashina Dubi's heirs. Now that he was given this step, it was really difficult for him to refuse this temptation.
Yang Guang looked gloomily at Wang Junlin, who immediately clasped his fists and lowered his head. The result of the hesitation in his heart was that the city above and below fell into a dead silence.
Yu Shiji sighed secretly beside him, suddenly knelt down to Yang Guang, and said loudly: "Your Majesty planned a strategy to make the Turkic army lose vigilance through the canonization strategy. He also secretly sent a messenger to order King Qin An to lead the Far Eastern Army to sneak attack on the Turkic army and won a complete victory.
Your Majesty is wise..."
Pei Shiju, Zhang Jike, Yuwen Chengdu, Wang Rengong and other ministers who knew about it also knelt down with complicated expressions and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise."
After that, the remaining ministers and soldiers also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Although these soldiers had a vague feeling that something was wrong, they did not have much doubt after thinking about Wang Junlin's words of return to His Majesty the Emperor, and most of their disappointment and resentment towards Yang Guang dissipated.
Yang Guang took a deep breath and said: "King Qin An came all the way. I was able to escape from the Turkic thieves, and King Qin An should be the first to do so."
Wang Junlin clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Guang's expression suddenly showed a hint of hidden murderous intent, and he said loudly: "Ai Qing has worked hard these days, why don't you dismount and go into the city, I will reward you in person."
Wang Junlin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the rebel Liu Wuzhou of Mayi County dared to collude with the Turks and put your Majesty to death. Now most of the Turks have been annihilated by your Majesty's army, and less than one tenth of the remaining thieves have escaped. But Mayi County now
If it is still in the hands of Liu Wuzhou, I will lead the army to kill Liu Wuzhou on behalf of your majesty and recapture Mayi County."
After saying this, Wang Junlin bowed to Yang Guang at the top of the city, stood up, and turned his horse's head away.
Seeing this, Yang Guang's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. Wang Junlin's posture at this time was to tell him that no matter what he said, whether he wanted to or not, he would not enter the city, and he would immediately go to fight Liu Wuzhou of Mayi County.
.
What else could Yang Guang do? Wang Junlin just gave him a step down, making everyone think that the latter did not
He violated his will and maintained his authority as emperor, but now he is forcing him to agree to his request. Otherwise, if Wang Junlin disobeys the order in full view of the public, it will only be Yang Guang who is embarrassed, and his prestige will be affected.
It will only be him, Yang Guang.
This is Wang Junlin's conspiracy. No matter how resentful Yang Guang is, in the end he doesn't have much choice, or in other words, he only has one choice.
Yang Guang was naturally unwilling to give in, so the whole place fell into a strange silence again. After all, Yang Guang was a person with a very good face, and he couldn't lose his face.
Yu Shiji once again said at the right time: "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries with General Wang Rengong and lead the army to attack Liu Wuzhou, a traitor who has colluded with the Turks."
Pei Shiju glanced at Yu Shiji and then said: "I am also willing to share your majesty's worries. I am willing to make plans with the army to attack Mayi County and bring the traitor Liu Wuzhou to your majesty."
Wang Rengong sighed secretly and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead the army to destroy the traitor Liu Wuzhou."
"It is pitiful for the emperor to be in such a position." Li Shimin sneered in his heart, but followed Wang Rengong and expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Taiyuan County soldiers to destroy Liu Wuzhou on your behalf."
Under the leadership of Yu Shiji, who is said to be the best at observing words and emotions in the world, all civil and military officials requested orders one after another. After King Qin An, he said that he would share the emperor's worries and attack Liu Wuzhou. In this way, the awkward atmosphere at the scene suddenly disappeared. Wang Junlin forced Yang
The scene where Hiro makes the decision has also disappeared.
Yang Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Yu Shiji with satisfaction, and said majestically: "All of you dear ministers are dedicated to sharing the worries of the court and are all my loyal ministers. However, since King Qin An proposed it first, I will allow King Qin An to lead his troops to destroy the enemy."
Liu Wuzhou, send me the traitor's head."
With a solemn look on his face, Wang Junlin bowed on his horse and clasped his fists, saying, "I hereby obey your Majesty's will."

Liu Wuzhou, the leader of Mayi County, is in a bad mood these days.
To be precise, since the Turks began to retreat steadily in front of the army of King Qin of the Sui Dynasty and suffered heavy losses, his heart was filled with worry.
After the Turks were defeated and fled back to their home base, Liu Wuzhou was already extremely depressed.
After learning that the Turks were defeated,
Liu Wuzhou was worried that Yang Guang would send troops to attack him, so he ordered his troops to enter combat readiness and sent out a large number of spies.
Liu Wuzhou rebelled with the secret support of the Turks and occupied Mayi County for more than a year. In addition to the 20,000 Mayi County troops under his original command, he spent this year levying another 80,000 horses, and now there are 100,000.
Army.
He was originally a Ying Yang Lang general, and he was good at recruiting and fighting. He was known as a general. These 80,000 recruits were also solidly trained and consciously suppressed bandits in the territory. He had also fought with officers and soldiers in the early stage, so he was already worthy of being regarded as a great general.
This is an elite army.
Just when Liu Wuzhou was worried that the Sui Emperor would send a large army to attack him, a group of horse thieves numbering about 5,000 suddenly appeared out of thin air in Mayi County. Life in border counties was difficult, resources were limited, and horse thieves were rampant. This has become a norm.
What's more, in today's troubled times, there are countless thieves and bandits, and sometimes he even sends people to neighboring counties to appear as horse thieves.
Therefore, when the news was reported to Liu Wuzhou, he did not pay attention to it. He just ordered the nearby troops to send troops to encircle and suppress or drive away.
But then Liu Wuzhou couldn't care about the horse thieves, because the officers and soldiers came to beat him, but the number was not large, less than 20,000.
When he heard that there were less than 20,000 people, Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed. He thought that the emperor was really confused. If he dared to attack me with 20,000 people, he would be destined to die!
But then news came that these more than 10,000 people were the Far Eastern Army led by King Qin An, Liu Wuzhou's expression changed drastically, and with a solemn expression he directly ordered to abandon the counties and shrink the troops in each county to the county seat.
………
………
At the top of the city of Mayi County, Liu Wuzhou looked at the powerful and orderly camp of the Far Eastern Army outside the city, his face full of worry, solemnity, and doubts.
Of course he knew that the famous King Qin An also had objections. It was reasonable to come to King Qin this time, but how could he listen to the old emperor and come to attack his Mayi County.
You know, Mayi County and Wang Junlin's Fanyang County are more than two thousand miles apart!
Yesterday, he received news that the Far Eastern Army suddenly rushed towards Mayi County. After that, until Wang Junlin led the Far Eastern Army to the Mayi County town, he did not receive any news again, and he sent out troops to keep an eye on the direction of Yanmen County.
