Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 594 Improper Emperor (Sixth)
August Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is the time when autumn is high and horses are fat.

On the city tower of Xiangping City in Liaodong County on the banks of the Liaohe River, with the flags of the Sui Dynasty fluttering, Luo Cheng looked from a high place, and Wei Zheng in a white robe stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"You really want to send troops to serve the king? Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng.

"The emperor was besieged by Yanmen, and issued an edict of King Qin."

"Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops have besieged Yanmen, and 41 cities in Yanmen County have already fallen to 39 cities. The emperor's luck is not good this time."

"No, there are [-] Xiaoguo troops in Yanmen City. The Xiaoguo troops are all strong and brave. Most of the officers are the children of the generals. They are well-equipped and defend the city. They are not afraid of the Turkic cavalry."

"However, there is only 20 days of food in Yanmen City. The emperor took refuge in Yanmen on the 30th. Today is the [-]th day, so there is only half a month's food left. No matter how elite the Xiaoguo army is, it will protect the emperor and all the officials. It is probably impossible to protrude from the encirclement of [-] Turkic cavalry. After all, the entire Yanmen County is now Turkic. Although your brother, General Siye, is in charge of the Xiaoguo Zuoyi Army, he still sticks to Nao County. The gates are hundreds of miles away, and it is difficult for him to protect himself, let alone rescue the emperor."

"The Governor of Fanyang in Hebei, the Governor of Beiping, the Jiedu Envoy of Monan, the Governor of Taiyuan, the Yamen of the Peaceful Envoy of Hedong, the Yamen of the Peaceful Envoy in Yecheng, Hebei, and even the King Qin's army from Guanzhong, Luoyang and other places will rush there."

"It can't quench thirst from far away."

"With only half a month's food, can it really last until reinforcements arrive?"

Wei Zheng looked to the northwest and said with a smile, "Have you never thought about what the situation in the world will be like if the emperor is captured or killed? If the emperor dies, even if Luoyang or Daxing establish another emperor, But no one in Liaodong can control it, as long as you continue to cultivate wasteland and train troops in Liaodong, then after three to five years, you can go south and enter the customs to fight for the world."

Luo Cheng just shook his head.

"Of course you are right, but have you thought about another problem? If the emperor of the Central Plains is captured or killed by the Turks at Yanmen Pass, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and the Turks may even drive straight down, even if they cannot Soldiers entered Luoyang and Daxing, but they entered Taiyuan following the trend, and even the Hetao area would be occupied by the Turks."

"And if there is no emperor in the Sui Dynasty and the world is in chaos, who will be able to suppress those ambitious people? At that time, you will fight for each other. Maybe in order to fight for the world, there will be many people vying to proclaim themselves to the Turks. Paying tribute and cede land and marrying relatives, all want to vie for the help of the Turks, who will resist the Turks going south?"

"Do you still remember that when the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty fought for hegemony, they competed to please the Turkic people, so that Mugan Khan could boast that he had two sons in the south. Do you want me to be the son emperor of the Turkic people?"

Wearing a white robe, Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng seriously.

"You really admire me. If it were an ordinary person, seeing such an opportunity, I'm afraid he would have given up everything. Just like Yang Xuangan, a famous nobleman in Guanlong, who has been a family member for generations, but whenever he had a chance, he rebelled and even colluded. People from Goguryeo ruined the great prospect of the Eastern Expedition. You are different and admirable." Wei Zheng said sincerely, ordinary people, in this situation, would not think about the world, the Han family and Huaxia, but only their own power and position.

Luo Cheng just shook his head and said, "Manly man, do something, but don't do something. We are dissatisfied with the emperor's stupidity, and we can find ways to overthrow him, but this is our own family's business, and our family closes the door Come and solve it yourself, but never allow the Turks to take the opportunity to invade."

If Yang Guang was killed in Yanmen, who knows if there will be another chaos in China, or Xianbei will occupy the Central Plains.

"Then if you send troops, don't you be wary of Yuan Shi? In the past two years we have been in Liaodong Gengtun, and we have not taken the initiative to attack him, but he has been fighting hard all the time. If we go west to King Qin, maybe Yuan Shi will come to raid our hometown. "Wei Zheng reminded Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng laughed.

"I never put Yuan Shi in my eyes. Since Yuan Shi killed the king and became self-reliant, now Yuan Shi has nothing to worry about. I haven't touched him in the past two years. It's just to stabilize people's livelihood and accumulate strength. You Don't forget, although I haven't touched the Yuan family in the past two years, Yang Wanchun in Pyongyang has almost completely fallen for me in the Sui Dynasty, and now not only is King Qi entrusted in Pyongyang, but there are also two thousand relatives there."

Under Yuan's pressure, Yang Wanchun actively approached Luo Cheng. He accepted the officials and generals sent by Luo Cheng. Now there are dozens of Sui Dynasty officials in Lelang County.Not to mention, Luo Cheng also helped Yang Wanchun reorganize the army, recruited Goguryeo survivors, and also brought Silla over to make them form an alliance to fight against Yuanshi and Baekje together.

Lelang County now has a population of no less than 50, and there is an army of about 5 people. It is also farming and fighting. After all, Pyongyang has always been controlled by the Koguryo royal family, so Yang Wanchun originally played the revival of Koguryo to avenge the king. After the banner, a lot of people still gathered.

Even if Yang Wanchun had no real attachment, he was still a sharp knife on Goguryeo's back.

"Just one Yang Wanchun is definitely not enough." Wei Zheng said bluntly.

"I know, so this time King Qin, I will only take the cavalry and leave the infantry behind."

From Liaodong City to Yanmen Pass, the distance is two thousand li, which is really too far.If Luo Cheng took Buqi with him to serve the king, the day lily would be cold when he arrived at Yanmen.

Although Luo Cheng's infantry basically had horses, the infantry with horses was just infantry, and the more soldiers there were, the greater the demand for logistics and food, and the more soldiers, the slower their movements.

"I will take nine thousand light cavalry and three thousand heavy cavalry to King Qin."

"Only bring so much? Our family has [-] light horses and [-] heavy horses." Wei Zheng said.

"Not too much."

"But the Turks have 30 cavalry."

"Qin Wangjun is not just our family."

Luo Cheng had to keep some guards. After all, he looked down on the Yuan family, but he was almost certain that once he left, the Yuan family would definitely move, so there must be cavalry as a maneuvering force.Otherwise, it is just infantry guarding the house, each defending the city, and there is a possibility that they will be defeated one by one.

Wei Zheng tied up his sleeves.

"What if, I mean, what if you don't catch up, Yanmen City is broken, and the emperor is captured or killed?"

"Even if Yanmen City is really broken, the emperor will be captured at most and will not be killed. Shibi Khan Tuoji is not a fool. A living emperor is more useful than a dead body. If the emperor is captured, I and other Even if King Qin's army pursues them all the way to Beihai, they will take the emperor back."

Yang Guang is the emperor of the Central Plains and the emperor of the Han family. He would never be allowed to be captured by the Turks and brought back to his court to sing and dance for him. That would be a disgrace to the entire Han family, and Luo Cheng would never allow it.

　Do you still have a monthly pass, brothers?
