Chapter 412

Yu Wenji is also a little clever and knows that it is impossible for him to run first by himself. But if he convinces the emperor to run together, he is the general of guarding, which is a great opportunity. Although there is definitely a risk in escaping, Yu Wenji would rather take some risks than sit here and wait for death.

When Yang Guang heard this, he was quite moved. He felt that he was really not sure if he was staying here. But if he broke through, he might not have been afraid of the Turks at all. Although Taiyuan is not as strong as Yanmen in terms of stability, Taiyuan is not far from the eastern capital Luoyang and the western capital Chang'an. At that time, the army from Guanlong, Henan, Hedong, and Shannan can come quickly.

"Yuwen Aiqing said that he had a tassel. I ordered you to quickly select 5,000 elite cavalry." "Your Majesty, we must not. We still have the strength to defend the city, and the cavalry is the opponent's strength. Your Majesty is the lord of Wancheng, so how can you act rashly? This is not breaking through, this is sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth." As soon as Yang Guang was halfway through his words, one of them immediately opposed it loudly.

Yang Guang looked at him and said that the person who spoke out against him was actually the Minister Zuo Pushe Su Wei who had been dozing off. He couldn't help but be surprised. The elders of the two dynasties of Su Wei had always been in charge of the center, but his ability was quite good. However, Yang Guang had long been used to the emperor's will and was absolutely unwilling tolerate such a prime minister who wanted to rule the world with his king and minister. Under his power, Su Wei had been a wooden prime minister who had been sitting in the wood man for more than ten years. Two years ago, he immediately took him to Liaodong to be an idle man for more than a year, but after he came back, he became honest again.

Unexpectedly, this old man Su dared to come forward again today. Su Wei, who had been up and down four times, had long become an old man in the officialdom and was known as the tumbler in the court. If it weren't for the fact that it was really related to his wealth and life, he would never have come forward again.

Although he was dozing off with his eyes closed, he was actually awakened more than anyone else. When he heard that Yu Wenhua and actually wanted to pull the emperor to escape, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. At the moment, Yanmen City had few soldiers and food, so it was all because the emperor had hope. If the emperor ran away, the remaining troops would definitely be disorganized and might even escape.

Even if the remaining people are willing to defend Yanmen, if the emperor really arrives in Taiyuan, who would hurry to come to Yanmen to rescue the siege? Maybe the emperor will be able to break the Yanmen after walking a few steps before the emperor's back foot. Once the Yanmen is broken, he, the first official of the Great Sui Dynasty, will not have the possibility of escaping. He is so old that he doesn't want to go to the grassland Turks to be prime minister for a few years.

After Su Wei took the lead, he immediately killed the people. Fan Zigai, the Minister of Rites of Kings, also jumped out and took advantage of his seniority and shouted Yu Wenhua and a few words. He said to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty is in a dangerous situation and wants to be lucky. If you fail, you will regret it! It is better to continue to defend the city and recruit soldiers from all over the country to rescue: Your Majesty personally comforts the soldiers and increases rewards. Everyone must fight bravely. Why worry about failure?!" Fan Zigai knew that the emperor was worried that the city was not enough food and grass, and the two were worried that the soldiers in Hebei were blocked. There were too few soldiers in Hedong who were worried that they could not defeat the Turks, so he thought of running. So he said that the emperor would simply recruit soldiers from all over the country to come, so he could always fight the Turks.

However, Yang Guang was not sure about perseverance in his heart. He saw the strength of the Turks with his own eyes. The 50,000 army of Lai Huer was annihilated by the Turks in less than a day, which shocked Yang Guang.

Seeing the emperor's hesitant ladder, the inner historian Yu Shiji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty should really reward the soldiers and continue to stick to them!" Yu Shiji's official position is the boss of the inner historian province, one of the three provinces, and one of the deputy ministers of the dynasty. He has great power, but in order to keep it low-key, he has never been involved with Yuwen Que, Pei, Li, etc. In the court, he not only won the favor of the emperor, but also received the respect of other ministers. In the past, he has always acted as a peacemaker inside and outside the court.

When Yang Guang saw that he also stood up, he already knew what the ministers meant. As a last resort, he had no choice but to nod and agree to stick to it.

"I have decided to defend Yanmen. If anyone else wants to withdraw, I will be killed. My dear friends, since I have decided to defend Yanmen, what good plans do you have to deal with the enemy?" Yun Dingxing, the general of the Youtun Guard, said, "I believe that the first thing is to pass the order to Hebei.

He ordered the 200,000 troops that had already assembled in Hebei and divided into two groups.

One group of 100,000 people were transferred back to Linyu Pass to strengthen the defense of the pass, and the Liaodong rebels must not take this opportunity to break through the pass and enter Hebei. The other 100,000 troops were immediately led by the right Wu Guard General Pei Renji to fly away from Feihu's frontier, defeating the Turkic defenders and rushing to Yanmen."

Yang Guang thought about it and found that although Yanmen was in danger, Linyu Pass was also very important. If the Liaodong rebels were allowed to enter Hebei and then join the peasant rebels in the Central Plains, it would be difficult to cure for a while. Yang Guang nodded in agreement with his proposal.

"Immediately draft an edict, and I will send an edict to Pei Renji, the general of the Left Wu Guard, and immediately led a hundred thousand Hebei army through Feihu's border into Yanmen to rescue the lord. I also sent an edict to Xue Shixiong, the general of the Left Imperial Guard, and asked him to lead 100,000 Hebei Prefecture Army to reinforce Linyu Pass in Beiping County, and never let Liaodong rebels enter Hebei.

The inner historian Yu Shiji personally drafted the edict and drafted the edict on the spot. After the edict, Yang Guang immediately stamped the jade seal and handed it over to the Ministry of Education for issuance.

Menxia Shengnan Nayan Pei Shiju also made a comment, "Your Majesty, Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, fought against the Xiongnu, but was besieged Bai Deng. Later, Liu Bang used Chen Ping's plan to bribe the Xiongnu's Yanshi (the queen). The Yanshi told Maodun Shanyu that "the two lords are not trapped. Now they have the Han territory, but the Shanyu cannot live in it. Moreover, the Han king also has a god, so Shanyu observes it." Finally, he was able to escape. Now the Turks came to attack, and before the Turks Princess Ke Dun Yicheng also wrote to warn. Grassland customs, Ke Dun had the power to govern. Therefore, I think that Your Majesty should send people immediately.

Contact Tiele, Kumoxi, and the Western Turks immediately attacked the Eastern Turks. On the other hand, they sent envoys to contact Princess Yicheng and asked him to send a message to Shibi, saying that there was chaos in the rear of the Turks, and Shibi learned that they would withdraw their troops. "The court had to attack the Turks with three allies, but by time, the three families must have been ready now. Now the Turkic army is heading south, and the court asked the three allies to attack the Turks, which is exactly the strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao. In this way, this can not only relieve the siege of the Turks, but may also take this opportunity to severely damage the rear divisions of the Turks.

"Okay, please be sure of the strategy of progress. Immediately contact Tiele, Kumoxi, and the Western Turkic families, and say that the situation has changed now. The main Turkic army has been dragged by me and asked them to attack the Turkic grasslands immediately. In addition, contact Princess Yicheng immediately and ask him to send a letter to Shibi to tell the grasslands that the chaos and let him return to the grasslands as soon as possible."

As for whether Princess Yicheng would have prepared the Turkic Grassland tribes to prevent Tiel tribes, this is no longer what Yang Guang had to consider. At present, his only purpose was to break the siege of Yanmen as soon as possible. As long as he was fine, he would have a chance to fight the Turkic people.

After two agreed in a row, the atmosphere in the hall finally improved. The inside of the hall trotted in, "Your Majesty, General of the Left Guard, Prefect of Mayi, and Duke of Liaoyang County Li Shimin asked for a visit."

"Xuan him comes in." When Li Shimin was taken back to Yanmen that day, Yang Guang also went to see it in person. At that time, he felt that he had only breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he could already be relieved.

A sound of footsteps came, and a young man in a purple robe walked into the hall. The king and his ministers in the hall looked up, but they couldn't help but take a breath. At this time, Li Shimin's face was as pale as tin foil. What was even more surprising was that a scar from his right forehead scratched his right eye, nose and left cheek. The wound had a black scab that had not yet fallen off, and his whole face was still swollen. Not only did he no longer have the handsomeness of the past, but he had an indescribable weirdness.

His steps into the hall were a little vague and he walked forward slowly, but the sleeves on the left were gently swaying, and the inside was empty. Seeing the young heroes of the past, they became like this at this moment, no one felt a little sighing and regretful.

Yang Guang also sighed in his heart, thinking that Li Shimin is now, but he can no longer marry Princess Izumo who doesn't like him.

"Erlang, you have injuries on your body, why don't you rest in the mansion?"

Li Shimin was hit fifty-nine times that day, which seemed extremely terrifying. In fact, the real severe injuries were the ones in the abdomen and the wound on the broken arm. As for the other dozens of blows, they were just some flesh and blood injuries, and the punishment was more serious and there was no fatal point. On that day, Zhang Yong wanted to get him 4.38 million and then cut off his head. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred halfway through the road. Li Shimin rested in Yanmen and dealt with the injuries on the broken arm and abdomen, and there was no big problem.

He stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty has given me an important task and asked me to stay at the western border. My subordinates are incompetent, not only failing to defend the pass, but also causing the entire army to be defeated. I am here to apologize to Your Majesty."

Yang Guang sighed, "The war in the western frontier is not a crime of war. I already know that your plan to delay troops and surrender that day was a good plan, but it was discovered by the Turks, which is a pity."

A trace of resentment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, "Your Majesty, that day minister entered the Turkic tent, Shibi Khan had already believed in his plan. But later he did not expect that when he returned to the pass, he was robbed and killed by the subordinates of Chen Kefu, the Liaodong rebel. As soon as I woke up, I rushed to see Your Majesty, just to tell Your Majesty,

Shibi Khan's army included the gangs of Chen Kefu from Liaodong. The Turks had colluded with Chen Kefu. Please beware of your Majesty."

"As it turns out, Erlang, you don't know. On the day the Turks attacked Yanmen City two days ago, the Liaodong rebels also gathered 200,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Linyu Pass. So the ministers had already had speculation and doubts about this just now. Now you have confirmed this fact for the court. When Liaodong is pacified in the future, I must peel him off and get cramps and cook it alive."

As he said that, Yang Guang told Li Shimin the results of the discussions between the ministers in the court just now, "Whether Shimin has any good plans?"

Li Shimin pondered for a while, "I thought that in addition to mobilizing the Hebei army and contacting Princess Yicheng, the court should immediately have two things. One is to immediately issue an edict to support the king, calling on ministers from all over the world to lead their troops to Yanmen to serve the king. Even if there is no army, the officials and landlords of the world can summon voluntarily and brave men and ask them to come to serve the king. The second is to block the news of food shortage in the city, and the soldiers in the city must not be informed. And immediately appease the soldiers in the city, immediately promote the officials and soldiers in the city, and make a promise that after repelling the Turks in the future, they will also reward higher official positions and property according to the performance of the soldiers in the city."

Although Yang Guang has always been reluctant to give up the official position, he is no longer a small matter at this time.

After discussing with the ministers, he fully agreed with Li Shimin's proposal. He immediately issued an edict, and as long as those who have made contributions to defend the city, they will be rewarded with great rewards: and those who do not have official positions will be granted official positions, and those who already have official positions will be promoted! Immediately afterwards, Yang Guang issued another edict: Army from all over the country come to serve the king.

And on the spot, Yang Guang began to promote the ministers, and the title of Sima Dekan as the General of the Right Guard, Yun Dingxing as the General of the Left Guard, Li Shimin as the General of the Left Guard, and the rest of the civil and military officials were also promoted. Everyone in Yanmen City had a share, and even those soldiers had a scattered officer from the ninth rank of Li Xinwei. Moreover, Yang Guang might have promised that as long as Yanmen cleared the siege, he would have

All the soldiers in the city will be rewarded according to their merits, and all military merits will be rewarded three times as much as their usual military merits.

In addition, in accordance with Li Shimin's proposal, soldiers from all over the world rushed to Yanmen, Hedong to serve the king.

Moreover, this time it is not limited to the commanding generals from all over the country. Regardless of civil and military officials, they can recruit volunteers and brave people to go to Hedong. Even the wealthy families and landlords and powerful people who do not have officials, as long as you have money and recruit people, you can come to Hedong.

As soon as this decree was released, the Minister of the Shang Dynasty Zuo Pushe Su Wei, the Minister of Rites Fan Zigai, the Prince Xiao Li and others were all shaking their heads secretly. But at this time, when the emperor was sensitive, no one dared to reject the emperor's decree. But in his heart, he was still a little frightened by such a decree.

At this time, no one saw that Li Shimin, who was standing beside him, had a cruel smile slightly twisted. The military system of the Sui Dynasty was the system of the military. This was the most effective military system summarized after hundreds of years of chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Especially the three-layer system of military command such as the Sui Dynasty's wish for military power, the Ministry of War, and the Twelve Guards made the Sui army a group of troops that were gathered for war, and the dispersion was a farmer, and there was no need for military pay or prepared too many equipment. It also prevented the generals from holding too much troops and being unable to lose their tails.
