In fact, in this imperial edict to support the king, there is no need for all the powerful families and local officials to recruit soldiers. It is said that the distant water cannot relieve near-term thirst. Now there are so many soldiers in the Sui Dynasty. As long as one order continues and lets the soldiers from all over the country gather, it is more than enough. Letting those powerful families recruit soldiers from all over the country recruit soldiers is completely a spoil.

The newly recruited troops cannot form an army without a year or two in training. Even if such troops can really reach Yanmen, they will have no effect except to make up individual numbers. What is even more critical is that now an imperial edict can allow these people to recruit troops, but it will be difficult to disband in the future.

It was exactly this idea that Li Shimin fought. This time he encountered Shenwu City and Xixing Pass, which changed greatly. At first, he had an idea that surpassed Chen Kefu in his heart. For this idea, he betrayed the Liaodong Army. The battle of escaping from death at Shenwu Pass made him feel that survival was the most important thing. At Xixing Pass, he was immediately left by Yang Guang to keep Xixing Pass by Yang Guang, and later he encountered Zhang Yong, a former brother of the Liaodong Army. He survived again, and after being disfigured, Li Shimin changed. It was this time that he went north that Li Shimin broke and then established, and there was no shackle in his heart that could not be broken. Chen Pojun and Yang Guang could no longer stop him.

Yanmen City was already surrounded and the water was not open, and the people who were edicted by the Ministry of Public Affairs could not leave the city, so they had to tie up the pigeons and the Yingyi who were in the army and release them out of the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the pigeon and the flying eagle flew out of the city, the archer there had been shot down by Jie Li. The Turkic archer picked up more than a dozen pigeons, the flying eagle, and hurriedly sent it to Jie Li.

After receiving these letters, Jie Li hurriedly took them to Shibi Khan. When he learned that these letters were sent out by birds in the city, Shibi attached great importance to them and summoned the leaders of various tribes to watch them together. Among the leaders of the Turkic tribes, the large tribes could not recognize Chinese characters, and looked at the literate and were very big. He hurriedly handed them over to those who knew literate, but the literate leaders looked too big. The characters on these letters were separated separately and they knew each of them, but if they were combined, they would not understand the meaning at all, and they were all meaningless and messy sentences.

Even Shibi Khan, who had a Zhongyuan Keduan, looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand anything. Instead, he was confused. As a last resort, he had to invite Zhang Yong quickly. Zhang Yong picked up the letters and read them for a long time, and smiled, "Khan, these are secret letters. Although all the above are Chinese characters, in fact, each of these characters is just a code name that is not a literal meaning. Only those who know the secret letter can know what this letter means."

"Why can't Ben Khan understand what you mean?" Shibi was confused when he listened to Zhang Yong's explanation.

Zhang Yong pointed to one of the letters, "This is a specially encrypted letter, a method specifically to prevent interception. There are many methods of secret letters. If you don't know the agreed decryption method in advance, you will never know the meaning of the letter. However, although I don't know the meaning of the letter, I can guess that it must be Yang Guang in the city who issued an edict to the ministers from all over the Central Plains, asking them to lead troops to Yanmen to rescue the enemy. Therefore, the Khan didn't have much time, so it was better to attack the city as soon as possible and take Yang Guang down."

When Shibi Khan saw that his own group of leaders had been here for a long time, he was already fooled by Yang Guang, he was so angry that he threw all the edicts in his hand into the brazier.

"Jie Li, Chu Luo, Chi Ji, Tuli, how are the siege equipment that Ben Khan asked you to prepare?"

"Return to the great khan, our troops have completed all a thousand cloud ladders." Jie Li stepped forward and said.

"Our department has also made 200 catapults, which can be put into use at any time." Chu Luo was not willing to let it go.

Chi Ji and Tuli also hurriedly reported the production of their two parts of the equipment. Shi Bi was very satisfied with it, "Okay, we didn't have any equipment last time, and we almost took down Yanmen City. This time, with so many preparations, we will definitely be able to take down Yanmen in one fell swoop. I will send orders to let the troops slaughter cattle and sheep, and let the men have a good meal. To attack the city midnight tonight, and catch Yang Guang's son off guard."

"Abide by the order"

When Yanmen closed, the public affairs housekeepers from the Ministry of Public Affairs saw the dozen pigeons and flying eagles that had just been released, and all the archers who had archers who had escaped the Turks were shot down. After they were shot down, they were so scared that their faces were pale and hurried down to the city to report.

Feiyun Temple in Yanmen City has always been incense, with many good men and women, and is famous far and wide. A few years ago, the temple owner traveled around the world and begged for a large amount of money. He rebuilt Feiyun Temple. The big Buddha offered to the temple reiterated the golden body and built the main hall. However, at this time, the Feiyun Temple was tightly tightly inside and outside, and even an ant could not fly in.

The main hall in the temple also temporarily made Yang Guang's Golden Palace, and the rows of side rooms in the temple also became Yang Guang's palace sleeping hall. At this time, Yang Guang was eating a simple dinner with only a dozen dishes, including Empress Xiao, Princess Izumo and Prince Yang Gao.

Prince Yang Gao was only eight years old. While eating, he couldn't help saying, "Sister, today I saw that Li Shimin. He had indeed broken an arm and had a very scary scar on his face."

Yang Ji'er just nodded, but said nothing, but her eyes looked at Yang Guang and Queen Xiao, with no glory in her eyes.

Empress Xiao put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Your Majesty, has the Erlang of the Li family really become like that?" Empress Xiao still had a good impression of Li Shimin in the past, but she couldn't help but hesitate when she heard the prince's description. How could she let the princess marry him now in this way?"

Yang Guang held the wine glass and drank the wine sips by sip. The wine in the glass was not a good wine, but just ordinary ale wine. Such a bad wine is the first time in his life, bitter but fragrant, but Yang Guang seemed to be careless. Hearing the queen's words, Yang Guang sighed and suddenly stared at the princess, "Do you really plan to marry Chen Kefu in this life?"

The princess also stopped chopping, "Yes, my daughter will not marry in this life without Chen Kefu. If she cannot, she will be a nun with a blue lamp and a yellow scroll, and she will be alone in this life."

"If you marry Chen Pojun, you will either lose your husband or your father in the future. You will never be able to do both. Are you willing to bear this kind of pain?" Yang Guang said in a low voice and a lonely tone.

The princess couldn't answer and cried. Yang Guang sighed, threw down the wine glass in his hand, and stood up and left. Not many steps away, the eunuch leader, Eunuch Wang, had already arrived. "Your Majesty, Pei Nayan is here to see you outside, but there is an urgent matter to ask for your meeting."

"Take him to the imperial study room, I will see him there." Yang Guang walked slowly to the Sutra Library of Feiyun Temple with his hands behind his back. This small building full of Buddhist scriptures has now become Yang Guang's imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, just now the people of Tongrong came to report that the flying pigeons and flying eagles with the edict were shot down by Turkic archers, and none of them flew out." As soon as they entered the Sutra Pavilion, Pei Shiju said anxiously.

"What? Take this matter seriously?" Yang Guang finally couldn't sit still when he heard this. He stood up and walked around the house. If the edict could not be sent out, the strategies he had discussed with the ministers before would be useless.

"Immediately send an order for all ministers to come to the hall to discuss matters." Yang Guang turned his head and shouted to the inner shi beside him.

The ministers who were summoned urgently were stunned when they heard what Pei Shiju told him. No one expected that the Turks would have such a move. Not only did they not let the Yanmen surround them, but the messengers could not leave the city. Now they even sealed the sky, and even a bird could not fly out.

"Your Majesty, I think that I should issue an edict immediately and release it after dark. In this way, the Turks will definitely not be able to intercept it." Empress Xiao's younger brother, Yin Qing Guanglu doctor, thought of a solution.

Pei Shiju said with a difficult look on his face, "Mr. Xiao doesn't know that the flying pigeons and flying eagles released today are all. It is impossible to use flying birds to send messages to you now."

When it's really unlucky, drinking cold water will make you feel stuck in your teeth. The ministers in the palace were helpless for a moment and could only sigh.

The eight-year-old prince Yang Gao, who was sitting under Yang Guang's seat, suddenly said, "I saw that the city protection of Yanmen City is living water. Where did this water come from? Where did it go?"

The tumbler of political affairs, Shangshu Zuo Pushe Su Wei, said to the prince, "The water of the moat in Yanmen City connects the water of the Hutuo River not far from the city. The Hutuo River starts from the Taihang Mountains of Lingqiu and flows through the three counties of Yanmen, Loufan and Taiyuan. Then enters Hengshan County, Gaoyang County, and Hejian County in Hebei, and finally passes through the border of Zhuo County and goes west into the sea. This river originates from the east of the Hebei, but is a major tributary of Hebei. Even a section of the canal is connected to the Hutuo River."

The prince said happily, "Why not write more edicts now, then tie them on driftwood, and wait until it is dark and put them in the Hutuo River to let him go downstream. The Turks will definitely not find it. By dawn, they will definitely have already flowed downstream. Then someone will find it and hand it over to the local government."

When Su Wei answered the prince's words, he just thought that he was the prince, so he answered his words. He originally thought that the prince was just a casual gossip, but he unexpectedly said such a good plan. Su Wei, who was stroking the white beard on the mountain, was stunned and pulled off several beards in an instant, and he grinned in pain.

Yang Guangyou, who was worried over there, looked at the prince with a few disbelief, thinking that the ministers in the palace had just learned about this matter, and it was impossible for a minister to tell the prince in advance to make him happy. After thinking about it, he finally felt that this should be the prince's idea.

Yang Guang said happily with boxing, "The prince really does not disappoint my expectations. I and the ministers have never thought of it. The prince actually said one word. The driftwood is an edict, a wonderful strategy! Okay, Pei Nayan immediately followed the prince's plan and prepared more edicts. When it was dark, put it in the moat and let it flow down the river to spread the edicts to the world." ro!.
