Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 593 The Siege of Yanmen (fifth update!)
Hedong, Daibei.

There are nine frontiers in the world, and Yanmen is the leader.

Xiongguan is surrounded by dangerous mountains and stands high on Gouzhu Mountain.On the east and west wings, there are undulating mountains.The Great Wall on the ridge is winding.

The terrain of Yanmen Pass is very dangerous, and it has been a battleground for ancient military strategists.

During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the general of the State of Zhao, was stationed in Yanmen. He relied on the danger of closing the city to defend carefully and defeated the Huns with 10 horses. The famous generals Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty once led their troops to fight the Xiongnu here and won a complete victory. , Megatron beyond the Great Wall.

In Hedong, there are two Great Walls.

One is the Outer Great Wall, in the north of Mayi County, reaching the Yellow River in the west and connecting Taihang in the east.

In addition, there is an inner Great Wall, which starts from Piantouzhai in the west, connects with the Outer Great Wall, and reaches Mount Heng in the east.It is integrated with Loufan Pass, Yanmen Pass, Zijing Pass and Daomaguan Pass.

To the south of Yanmen Pass is the center of Hedong, the important town of Taiyuan.To the north of Yanmen is the Mayi Basin, and further north to the Outer Great Wall is Dingxiang.

Outside the Great Wall is the Yinshan Monan Grassland. In the Sui Dynasty, the Tuli Little Khan, who was defeated by the army, went south and placed him in Monan and named him Qimin Khan. In the southern part of the desert, not in the depths of the prairie in the northern part of the desert.

In the later period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi confronted each other, and wars continued.The Mobei Turks took advantage of the situation to rise up, defeated Rouran, and continued to rule Mobei.

Turks control hundreds of thousands of strings, and their territory is thousands of miles away.

Zhou Qi wanted to serve as backup, so his children lost countless money.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkic daughter was also welcomed as the queen, which made Mugan Khan arrogantly declare that he had two sons in the south who were very filial and never worried about lack of food or clothing.

When Qi was destroyed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the north was unified, and the Central Plains began to prosper. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the daughter of King Zhao was the princess and pro-Turk.Later, when Yang Jian conquered the world, Princess Qianjin longed for revenge and persuaded Shabolue Khan to attack the Sui Dynasty, but she was repeatedly defeated by the Sui army.

Later, Yang Jian used the strategy of the famous general Sun Sheng to separate the strong from the weak, and split the Turks into two.Since then, the Turks have been in civil strife for years, and Sabolo was finally defeated and had to surrender to the Sui Dynasty.When his son Dulan Khan was established and he was at odds with Sui, Yang Jian used tricks to drive a wedge between Dulan and Tuli brothers and make them attack each other.

Although Tuli Khan lost to Dulan later, Yang Jian still sent his grandson, Sun Sheng, to take him to Monan, put him in the frontier fortress, build a city to live in, and gave him the name Yili Zhendou Qimin Khan. The daughter of the clan married him with the princess number.

Later, Dulan was killed, Mobei was in chaos, and the five khans fought for the throne.

So the Sui Dynasty sent Yang Guang and Yang Suyong Qimin Khan to go north, defeating all the tribes, so that Qimin was able to belong to the Turkic Eastern tribes.

For more than ten years after that, Qi Min, who was single-handedly supported by the Sui Dynasty, was very respectful to the Sui Dynasty, and there was no trouble in the north.

Five years after the great cause, Qimin died, and Shibi succeeded to the throne.

Originally, although Shibi felt that the strength of the Eastern Turks had recovered, and the control of 40 strings was a bit arrogant, but after seeing the destruction of Tuyuhun in the fifth year of the Sui Dynasty's great cause, and the destruction of Goguryeo in the ninth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, he was still a little bit jealous.

Shibi didn't dare to act recklessly, but Yang Guang was not the kind of quiet master.

In the spring of the 40th year of Daye, Luo Cheng made a secret report to the emperor during the court assembly, saying that the Eastern Turkic Khan controlled [-] strings, was arrogant and arrogant, and had a heart of disobedience.

As a result, after the emperor listened, he actually listened.

But the emperor didn't think about how to appease Shibi first and develop with peace of mind, but what he thought about was how to strike first.

So the emperor called Pei Shiju, his foreign minister.

After hearing what the emperor said, Pei Shiju also felt that the Turks had become a serious problem. Besides, Tuyuhun and Goguryeo had been pacified. The Western Turks had been tormented by the Sui Dynasty all these years, and they dared not fight against Tianwei. East Turkic.

Yang Guang asked Pei Shiju to formulate a strategy and start Bi Khan.

Pei Shiju's method is very simple, he said that the elder Sun Sheng's method of alienating the Turkic people was good, and we can follow the example and do it again.

At the beginning of the year, his father, Tuli Qimin Khan, was originally a small khan in the east, but he was instigated by the Sui Dynasty, so he got up to do something with Shabo, but he lost and fled to Monan Sui Dynasty's father.

Now Pei Shiju is doing the same thing. He sent someone to quietly meet with Shibi's younger brother, Chi Jishe, and said that your elder brother is disrespectful to the emperor. This is asking for death, so the emperor wants to fuck him now and prepares you to become a Turkic Khan. , but also to marry the princess to you.

The emperor even conceived the Khan number for Chiji, so he named Nanmian Khan and asked him to fight against Shibi.

But in the end, even though they are brothers, this auspicious design
But no elder brother Shibi Meng, not only was not happy, but was very scared when he heard that, he directly tied up the envoys, and then sent them to Shibi, and told everything about it.

This time Bike was very unhappy.

I control 40 strings, the Turkic Khan with thousands of miles of territory, and I still surrender to you Yang Guang. Not only are you not grateful, but you still want to fuck me?
So Shibi cut off the envoy directly, and then sent his head back to the Central Plains.

And he is going to sever ties with Sui, and wants to become a great khan standing side by side like Yang Guang.

Yang Guang took a look here, why things didn't develop as expected.

Pei Shiju asked around, and said that I found out that Shibi had a man named Shi Shuhu Xi who was very favored by Shibi, and this guy was very capable. If he could kill him, then Shibi was just a barbarian. Nothing to be afraid of.

The emperor listened, um, yes, fuck him.

So Pei Shiju found a reason to trick this Shi Shu Hu Xi to the Sui border on the border, and then sent someone to kill him.

After the killing, Yang Guang also sent someone to send Shi Shu Hu Xi's head back to Shibi, and said that Shi Shu Hu Xi was going to betray the Turks and surrender, and Yang Guang was cleaning up the house for Shi Bi.

Sibi is not stupid for such a bad excuse, how could he believe it.

He was already extremely dissatisfied, but now he exploded.

But at this time, Yang Guang thought that he should calm down after a few movements.

He planned to do something more ruthless, and decided to take the Xiaoguo army north to Monan, to the gate of Shibi's house to show the powerful fighting power of Da Sui, and frighten this ignorant guy.

After Shibi heard the news, he was naturally calm on the surface, and showed a very respectful look, saying that he would mow the grass to clear the way for the emperor himself.

In the dark, they sent out arrows and summoned all the soldiers and horses to join them, preparing to kill Yang Guang.

Therefore, when Yang Guang triumphantly set off from Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan in the autumn of the 11th year of Daye, passed through Yanmen, and just entered Mayi territory, Shibi led hundreds of thousands of horsemen and came to kill them in a mighty manner. up.

Fortunately, Kedun, the Turkic queen, was a princess of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian married a princess to Qimin, but she died not long after, so Yang Jian sent another clan girl to marry Qimin, named him Princess Yicheng.

Princess Yicheng became Ketun of Qimin. After the death of Qimin Khan, Qimin's son Shibi succeeded to the throne and was called Khan. There is a stepmother.

So Princess Yicheng became Ketun of Shibi Khan again.

Anyway, although Princess Yicheng is in Turkic, she still misses her family.

She quietly sent someone to deliver a letter to Yang Guang, telling him that Shibi had led troops to kill him.

Fortunately for this letter, Yang Guang ran back quickly, but as soon as he ran to Yanmen, the army from Shibi surrounded him.

Yanmen City is strong, and there are 15 Xiaoguo troops around Yang Guang. In addition, there are a large number of officials, palace people, and ordinary people in Yanmen City. There are a total of 20 people in the city, but the food and grass are only for food. sky.

What's more terrible is that in just a few days, Shibi Khan, who surrounded Yang Guang, divided his troops and captured the cities of Yanmen County.

Of the 41 cities in Yanmen County, 39 were captured. Except for Yanmen, only the Xiaoguo Zuoyi Army led by the son-in-law Luo Siye, with 5000 troops, was left to hold Nao County tightly.

Standing on Yanmen City, Yang Guang looked at the overwhelming Turkic cavalry below the city, his face pale with fright.

It never occurred to him that the Turkic dog raised by the Yang family turned into a Turkic wolf all of a sudden. At this moment, he remembered Luo Cheng's reminder, but it was too late to regret it.

Holding his nine-year-old youngest son Zhao Wang Yang Gao, Yang Guang looked to the east, only hoping that Luo Cheng would lead his army to come to King Qin to rescue him soon!

A sharp arrow shot out suddenly, almost brushing Yang Guang's face. The arrow was nailed to the gatepost of the tower behind the emperor, and it was still buzzing.

The young King Zhao burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, please retreat to the city!" A group of guards hurried forward with shields, and Yang Guang went down the city in a hurry with the child in his arms.
