The conflict between the Sui Dynasty and Shibi Khan began with Princess Yicheng. Although the Sui Dynasty later married a royal princess to the north to the Turks, this did not ease Shibi Khan's resentment towards the Sui Dynasty. However, this would not make the Turks and the Sui Dynasty turn against each other, and Shibi Khan would not attack the Sui Dynasty because of a woman...

There are other reasons for the deterioration of the relationship between Sui and Turks. Two years ago, Pei Ju was ordered to go on a mission to the Turks to visit Chi Jishe, the brother of Shibi Khan, which was also an important force of the Turks. Chi Jishe had hundreds of thousands of tribes. In order to differentiate the increasingly powerful Turks, Yang Guang promised to betroth the royal princess to Chi Jishe and promised to be named the Khan of the South. Chi Jishe did not dare to accept the princess and the enthronement. At the same time, he told his brother Shibi Khan about this matter. It was from then on that time that Shibi Khan had the intention to invade the Great Sui Dynasty in the south.

Shibi Khan originally intended to attack Fengzhou and kill his old enemy Yang Yuanqing. The conflict between him and Yang Yuanqing had been around more than ten years ago. Yang Yuanqing first made his first mission to the Turks. Yang Yuanqing took away his sister Asdo and the woman Yicheng Princess, who should have belonged to him. This made Shibi Khan hated Yang Yuanqing to the core. However, what he could not tolerate was the relationship between Yang Yuanqing and Wutu. Their covenant was a confidant of Shibi Khan, especially when Yang Yuanqing sold five thousand bows to Wutu at the end of the year before, which made Shibi Khan lose in the battle against Wutu last summer, which made Shibi Khan regard Yang Yuanqing as a great enemy.

Unexpectedly, the unexpected tour of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui changed his plan. Fengzhou was planning a territory and Yang Guang planned a country. If the Emperor of Sui could be captured, the ransom he received was enough to make the Turks become the lord of the East and make the Sui Dynasty surrender to his feet.

The 400,000 army quickly packed up the tent. They prepared their troops and rushed towards Yulin County like endless wolves on the grassland. At this time, Yang Guang was still on his way to Yulin County.

......

In a jungle about twenty miles west of Fuqibo, the Eagle Fighter General Wu Zhiyuan led twenty Sui army scouts to hide. They divided their troops into ten directions and were tracking the main force of the Turks.

After Wu Zhiyuan led his army to defeat 500 Turkic cavalry two months ago and intercepted more than 2,000 fleeing people, he was promoted to the Eagle Fighting General. This time he took on the heavy responsibility and led 200 scouts to follow the main force of the Turkic forces.

More than a dozen Sui soldiers were lying under the tree to rest. At this time, the earth suddenly started to shake. The Sui soldiers jumped up from the ground one after another. Wu Zhiyuan shouted to the top of the tree: "What did you find?"

There was a Sui army surveillance in the tree. He looked into the distance for a moment. He turned around and shouted, "It's the Turkic cavalry that is coming, boundless!"

Wu Zhiyuan made a quick decision, "Everyone goes deep into the forest!"

Twenty scouts rushed towards the depths of the forest. For a moment, if the dark cloud-like Turkic cavalry came overwhelmed by the sky. The 400,000 cavalry roared like a sea of ​​people, swept towards the west, and the team lasted for dozens of miles.

The Sui army scouts hid deep in the forest. They could still feel the trembling of the earth. Wu Zhiyuan climbed a big tree. When he visited the Turkic army several miles away, he could basically judge the number of people and the direction of the march. The south was the Great Wall that they could not cross. If they went to Mayi County, they would either go east, cross from the east end, or go west. The place where they could bypass the Great Wall was Yulin County.

"Release the eagle!"

With Wu Zhiyuan's order, a falcon flew out of the cage carried by the Sui army, circled in the forest for several times, and then flew westward.

......

The general in charge of Yulin was the governor Yang Jiachen. He was responsible for extremely important tasks. He was so nervous that he could not sleep at night these days that he was tense and was waiting for news from the east with all concentration. He had obtained the information from Yang Guang who had come to Yulin County, but he did not obtain the information from the Turkic army.

At noon, a falcon circled from the west, and several soldiers shouted, "Supervisor, the falcon is here!"

Yang Jiachen ran out of the room and looked at the flying eagle in the sky. It was the eagle coming to deliver the letter. After a moment, the flying eagle fell down. The eagle slave handed over a piece of information. Yang Jiachen looked aside and immediately passed the order: "Notify the people in the city that the Turkic army is about to arrive. Those who are willing to retreat west can evacuate with the army!"

He took out another letter left by Yang Yuanqing and handed it to the soldiers, "Send this letter to the emperor immediately."

Yulin City was in full swing, and teams of Sui soldiers rode on horseback on the street and shouted: "The Turkic army is about to arrive, hurry up and evacuate west!"

The residents in the city were in chaos. More than 10,000 residents living in the city helped the elderly and young, with their valuable belongings, rode horses and donkeys, drove carriages and mule carriages and evacuated westwards. The advantage of the frontier is that almost every household has animal power, and even the worst family will have a donkey. Soon, a huge team of retreating westwards was gathered outside the city. Three thousand Sui cavalry guarded the people to evacuate westwards. The county town closest to Yulin County is Heyang County, two hundred miles away.

Yang Guang's car was still sixty miles away from Yulin County. The army was not fast, and he was escorting the huge city of ** slowly moving westward.

At this time, several cavalry rushed towards the west, and a team of patrolmen stopped him, "Who is breaking into the holy carriage!"

He bowed to the cavalry and said, "I am a garrison in Yulin County. If I have urgent information, I need to report to the saint!"

"What's up?"

"The 400,000 Turkic troops are coming towards Yulin County. Please retreat urgently!"

The patrol cavalry leader was shocked, "Come with me!"

He led the cavalry to the city of ** with the news...

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Guang received a letter from Yang Yuanqing. He opened the letter with a gloomy face, and the beginning was: "Yang Yuanqing, the chief supervisor of Fengzhou, respects His Majesty, and the emperor....

Yang Guang snorted coldly and continued to look down. He was stunned. About 400,000 Turkic troops were coming to Yulin City...

Yang Guang pondered for a while and asked the soldiers who sent the letter, "Is Yang Yuanqing in Yulin City?"

"Report to Your Majesty, General Manager Yang just arrived in Yulin County this afternoon, but when he heard that the Turkic army was coming, he led the people in the city to evacuate westward. Our scouts found that there were at least 400,000 Turkic troops, which were 150 miles away when they were discovered. Now it is estimated that there are still a hundred miles away from Yulin City. General Manager asks Your Majesty to retreat south immediately."

Yang Guang waved his hand, "Take him down!"

At this time, Yuwen Shu next to him said carefully: "Your Majesty, could it be Yang Yuanqing's void army plan? Use the Turks to shock us."

Yang Gongdao was a little worried, "Your Majesty, if there are really 400,000 Turkic cavalry, then the problem will be serious. I believe Yang Yuanqing and retreat to the south quickly."

At this moment, there was a rushing sound outside the imperial room, and a guard was urgently reporting outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Great Wall defenders have heard urgent news. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were found in the north, killing towards Yulin City, and it is very likely that they were around the Great Wall."

Yang Guang suddenly stood up. He could not believe Yang Yuanqing's words, but he could not believe the news about the Great Wall defenders. His voice changed in shock, "Hurry, retreat south quickly!"

The 400,000 Turkic army was more than 100 miles away. At their speed, they could chase the Northern Patrol team in half a day. Yang Guang did not dare to be the ** City anymore. He abandoned the ** City and changed it to riding a horse. The 100,000 army left all kinds of miscellaneous items and fled south in a panic.

At the first update, Yang Guang received news that the 400,000 Turkic army had chased him sixty miles away, and the 5,000 Sui army that intercepted the Turkic army had been wiped out. Yang Guang was extremely frightened. He did not care about his exhaustion and ran south desperately. However, there were many palace concubines and ministers in their team and they could not run fast at all. If this continued, they would inevitably be chased by the Turkic army before dawn.

The left guard general Yuwen Chengdu ran to Yang Guang and shouted: "Your Majesty, go to Yanmen Pass and use the terrain to block the Turkic army."

At this time, Yang Guang was already in vain. Yuwen Chengdu made a suggestion, and Yang Guang agreed repeatedly, "Go to Yanmen County!"

The 100,000 imperial guards were so scared that they fought and ran all the way. At the fourth hour, Yang Guang's team passed Yanmen and entered Yanmen County. Yanmen County was seriously damaged during the Yang Liang Rebellion. Later, it was rebuilt. The walls of Yanmen County were tall and strong, with a circumference of twenty miles. It was a county with a population of more than 20,000. Yang Guang rushed into the county town like a gust of wind, and his heart calmed down a little.

At this time, the provincial chief was vacant, and the prefect of Yanmen County, Lu Yu, was the highest magistrate. When he heard that the emperor had fled, he was so scared that he quickly vacate the official office for Yang Guang and the palace concubine, and contacted the wealthy families to arrange hundreds of officials. The 100,000 imperial guards could only enter the house at will. People shouted and the horses were neighing, and the city was in chaos.

As soon as the dawn was dawn, the prefect Lu Yu brought dozens of yamen runners to the county yamen. The county yamen had been temporarily converted into Yanmen Palace. Thousands of guards around the county yamen were like iron barrels, and the wine and food were delivered first. Lu Yu waited for a while, and a eunuch came out to announce the imperial edict, "The saint has an imperial edict, and the prefect Xuan Lu Yu will meet him!"

Lu Yu followed the eunuch into the county munition that originally belonged to him and walked to the emperor's temporary imperial room. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. The holy imperial room actually chose his office room. There was something hidden under the floor tiles, so don't be discovered.

"Prefect Lu, Your Majesty ordered you to meet you!"

Lu Yu walked into the room tremblingly, and then he put down his heart slightly. A thick carpet was laid on the floor, and the holy bed was his hiding place.

"My minister, Lv Yu, see Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang had just eaten something and drank a bowl of ginseng tea, and finally recovered, but he was still worried. Can the 400,000 Iron Cavalry of the Turks, the small Yanmen City, withstand it?

"Lu Aiqing, I heard that you participated in the battle against Yang Liang?"

"Report to Your Majesty, in the fourth year of Renshou, when the general manager of Shizhou was Li Jing, Feng Xiaoci was Sima, and minister was the judicial system. Yang Liang sent Qiao Zhongkui to lead a 50,000 army to attack the city. We only had a few thousand people. We held on for more than a month. Later, Yang Yichen and Yang Yuanqing came to rescue and finally defeated Yang Liang's rebels."

Yang Guang nodded, "It's all the past ten years ago. Li Jing died, Yang Yichen died, Feng Xiaoci died in battle, only Yang Yuanqing was left, but he...ah!"

This time, Yang Yuanqing sent someone to report the message in time, which showed that he had not really rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. This slightly alleviated Yang Guang's resentment towards Yang Yuanqing a little.

“How many troops are there in the city now?”

"There are 10,000 Daizhou troops in the city and 20,000 ordinary people, but..."

"Just what?" Yang Guang felt an ominous feeling in his heart and asked quickly.

Lu Yu said what he was most worried about, "It was just that the warehouse in the city had only 20,000 stones of grain stored, which was only enough for the Holy Army and the military and civilians in the city to eat for twenty days, and the forage was seriously insufficient."
