Chapter 44 Princess Aman

"Bad!"

Shibi Khan seized Pei Ju, and the harsh conditions proposed made Yang Guang furious. He drew his sword and slashed at the table with a fierce sword. The sword was embedded in the table and could not be pulled out. Yang Guang simply kicked the table over. The eunuchs in the room were so scared that they fell to the ground. They had never seen the emperor get such a big temper.

Yang Guang's face turned pale. He would rather die than accept such a great humiliation.

"You all retreat, I want to be alone and be quiet for a while."

The eunuchs all retreated. Yang Guang walked to the window with his hands behind his back and stared at a plum tree outside the window. He was extremely upset. He never dreamed that the Turks would go south in a big way, making this northern tour dangerous and even threatening his life.

The rulers of the Sui Dynasty, whether they were the late emperors Yang Jian or Yang Guang, adopted a two-handed strategy of preventing and politeness against the Turks. The Turks were wolves and could be gentle to them to comfort them, but they could not lose their vigilance. He built the Great Wall in the third year of Daye and strictly controlled trade with the Turks, all of which were for the prevention of the Turks. However, he still did not expect that the Turks would attack while he was on the northern tour.

Yang Guang sighed softly. In his father's instructions before his death, the three enemies of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Guanlong nobles, the Northern Qi Zahu and the Turks, broke out at the same time, which made him feel huge pressure. At this time, the Great Sui Dynasty was internal and external troubles.

Yang Guang didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the window, but he felt something. When he turned around, under the light, he saw his daughter Princess Danyang appear behind him.

"Aman, are you doing something?" Yang Guang asked softly.

Yang Fangxin lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she suddenly knelt down to the ground, "If the daughter can be safe from her father, then her daughter is willing to marry the Turks in the north."

Yang Guang felt his nose sore. His precious daughter was willing to sacrifice herself to save his father. He quickly helped her up and said softly: "Stop talking stupid things."

Yang Fangxin could no longer help but feel sad. She threw herself into her father's arms, tears pouring out from her beautiful eyes, crying silently.

Yang Guang gently stroked his daughter's hair and comforted her, "The father would not marry you to the Turks. Not only did the father reluctant to leave you, but it was more important that this was related to the dignity of the Sui Dynasty. He was humiliating me. I would rather die than let him humiliate me."

"So too, my daughter. If the city is broken, she would rather die than let him humiliate her."

"You are my good child, you are aware of the general and understand the truth. No matter what, I will not let you suffer any grievance."

At this moment, Yang Guang made up his mind, "Xuan Yuwen Chengdu comes to see me!"

"Father, you are..." Yang Fangxin asked in confusion.

"I must get out of this difficulty before I can think about other things. Summoning Yang Yuanqing to rescue him is the most effective way at the moment."

"Father, is he willing to come?"

"Since he keeps saying that he will not rebel against Sui, then he should come."

After a moment, Yuwen Chengdu quickly walked into the room and bowed, "See Your Majesty, and see Your Highness the Princess!"

"General Yuwen, I decided to summon Yang Yuanqing to rescue him."

Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, this is a wise move."

"But is Shi Danai gone?" Yang Guang asked worriedly again.

"Your Majesty, Shi Danai has left, but I think there is no need to summon Yang Yuanqing. He will definitely come to rescue the car. As long as your Majesty admits that his rescue is a righteous act, there will be no problem."

Yang Guang sighed, "If he is willing to come to rescue him, then I can admit him this time!"

...........

Near the city wall of Yanmen City, a wide open space was formed due to the demolition of the houses. At this time, the open space was full of troops, 10,000 county soldiers and 90,000 imperial guards. They lined up neatly, with bright armor, and a car drove slowly. Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty stood on the dragon chariot and inspected the military power. Three hundred cavalry guards were on the side of the car.

"Long live!"

As the car drove past, a tsunami sounded like a tsunami. Yang Guang's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the air, and the hundred thousand troops calmed down.

"I promise you to completely stop the battle of Goryeo, stop conquering Goryeo, and make every effort to defend against the Turks..."

"Long live!" the three armies cheered.

"All the soldiers of the three armies must fight bravely to kill the enemy. As long as we can defend against the Turks this time, then all those who participate in the war will be rich and honorable. I will never allow the court officials to swallow your contributions with a pen!"

The soldiers were extremely excited and raised their arms and shouted, "Long live your wise majesty! Long live!"

"Those who have meritorious people in the city will directly grant sixth rank official positions and reward hundreds of pieces of silk. Those with official positions will be awarded more and more officials..."

Yang Guang's official announcement made the sentiment of the 100,000 troops start to boil, and cheers like tsunamis resounded throughout the city. The morale and fighting spirit of the 100,000 troops were aroused, and the courage to be fearless and death filled everyone's hearts.

............

In a small house, Princess Danyang Yang Fangxin sat in front of the bed. Her personal maid Yu'er disappeared while running away. She was the only one in the room. She turned a deaf ear to the outside shouting loudly. She was full of helplessness and sadness. Just now she heard two eunuchs discussing that Yanmen City was too small to be able to defend at all, and there was not enough food. It would be a matter of time before the city was destroyed.

Yang Fangxin couldn't help but feel sad for her fate. Once the city was captured, she would become a prisoner and serve the Hu Kei, the grassland that humiliated her father and trampled on the dignity of the Great Sui Dynasty? No! She would rather die.

Thinking of "death", she slowly pulled out a sharp dagger from under her pillow. The dagger flashed with cold light. As long as she sent the dagger to her chest, she could end her young life. She was only twelve years old, and her beauty would wither in this small border town. I wonder what words would be engraved on her tombstone. Is Yang Fangxin, the princess of Danyang of the Great Sui Dynasty? It was still a small tombstone, an unknown girl.

The inexplicable sadness filled the heart of this weak girl with helplessness and loneliness.

...........

On the official road east of Heyang County, 50,000 troops were marching quickly towards Yulin County, with flags waving and powerful. Yang Yuanqing was wearing iron armor and a golden helmet on his head, with a cold look on his head. A red eagle flag was flying.

This is the fifth day that Yanmen City has been besieged. Faced with the attack of 400,000 troops, can Yang Guang support the 100,000 imperial guards? Yang Yuanqing also had a trace of worry in his heart.

Although Yang Guang's northern tour solved the crisis in Fengzhou, from a political perspective, he had to send troops to resolve the siege for Yang Guang to gain status and righteousness and ease the crisis between him and Yang Guang. Only politically legal can build the foundation for his future battle for hegemony.

This Yanmen incident was a huge challenge for him, but it was also a major opportunity, and it depends on how he grasped it.

A hurried sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a personal guard reported: "General Manager, General Su is here!"

"Send him to come."

Su Lie rushed over and bowed immediately, saying, "The last one is here!"

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "This time I will hand over an important task to you. According to the Turkish marching habits, a 400,000 army marched south, and there must be logistics hundreds of miles behind. You can lead 5,000 cavalrymen from the headquarters to search. It is best if they can destroy their logistics. If they cannot be destroyed, they will disturb them and cut off the supply of the Turkic army."

Yang Yuanqing handed him a military order, which contained a detailed order.

"I will obey the order!"

Su Lie took the military order and turned his horse's head to run towards his subordinates. Soon, an army of 5,000 people left the brigade and ran northwest. Yang Yuanqing stared at Su Lie away and immediately ordered, "Speed ​​up!"

Forty-five thousand troops accelerated their speed and headed towards Yulin County.

.........

At this time, Yulin City was an empty city, with 5,000 Turkic cavalry stationed. At the city gate was the huge wooden city of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. It was a circumference of eight miles, and it was a movable castle. In the eyes of the Turks, this mobile castle made by gods would be the spoils they were proud of. Not only the mobile city, but also the large number of tents, food, books, clothes and other supplies that the 100,000 Sui troops lost during the emergency retreat were also piled up in Yulin City.

The arrogant Shibi Khan firmly believed that Yang Yuanqing did not have the courage to challenge his 400,000 army, and Yang Yuanqing should hide in his Fengzhou like a turtle.

But the five thousand Turkic defenders never thought that as the morning light arrived, a Sui army of tens of thousands of people appeared outside Yulin City. It was no longer realistic to defend the city. The gate of Yulin City was severely damaged by the Turkic army. When they destroyed the city gate and suspension bridge, they laughed arrogantly in the posture of a victorious person, but it was not until this time that they realized that destroying the city gate was the stupidest mistake they made and would cost them a heavy price.

Five thousand Turkic defenders abandoned the city and fled, but were intercepted by 10,000 Fengzhou Sui troops. The two armies fought fiercely several miles east of Yulin County. At this time, tens of thousands of Sui cavalry were coming. Yang Yuanqing waved his sword and ordered: "All of them are annihilated!"

Under the front and back attacks of the Sui army, five thousand Turkic cavalry quickly collapsed, and the cavalry fled in scattered and fled their lives. They were killed by the Sui army and corpses were everywhere, blood flowing into a river. They chased for more than ten miles and killed more than 4,000 enemies...

"Report to the general manager, the remnants of the army have fled far away. Do you still have to continue chasing?"

Yang Yuanqing was not interested in this small battle. He just killed Shibi Khan and a few servants who were guarding the door. There was nothing to be excited about. It was too early to leave the celebration banquet.

He waved his hand, "Get back to Yulin City!"

The military order was quickly heard, and a group of soldiers retreated from the battlefield, and the army reorganized and drove towards Yulin City.

However, Yang Yuanqing came to the huge ** city outside the west city. His eyes narrowed slightly and looked at the wooden city with a complex gaze. He had been to this wooden city countless times. He went to see the supreme ruler of the Sui Dynasty with a low attitude as a minister.

But today, it is like an abandoned and weak woman, alone in the wilderness, facing all the powerful people who look at it, it has no ability to resist.

The gate of ** City was locked, and an iron chain as thick as an arm was wrapped around the gate. Obviously, Shibi Khan also fell in love with this city and did not allow Turkic soldiers to go in and destroy it.

"Open the door!" (To be continued)
