After seeing off Liu Wenjing, Wan He and Li Jing looked at each other. After a long while, Wan He slowly took out the parchment Liu Wenjing had given him before, opened it gently, handed it to Li Jing, and said: "Brother Li , how credible do you think this is,"
Li Jing also took the parchment with a gloomy look, glanced at it, and then said: "I'm afraid there is no mistake. This parchment has the horn seal of the Turkic Shibi Khan. On the grassland, there is no trace of it." People dare to imitate the horn seal of Shibi Khan, and according to Liu Wenjing, it is reasonable and accurate, so it should not be a lie,"
"Huh," Wan He could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He slapped the table next to him and cursed loudly: "This damn Li Yuan dares to do such a thing for personal revenge. It's simply, simply, He is so unconscionable that he colluded with the Turks for his own selfish revenge and allowed the Turks to invade the Central Plains. Doesn’t he know that once the Turks enter the customs, it will be a big disaster for the people in the customs, mommy, Damn Li Yuan,"
What made Wan He so angry was entirely due to the content written on that parchment. This parchment was personally written by the Turkic Shibi Khan to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty who was the governor of Taiyuan at the time. In this letter In the letter, Shibi Khan confirmed a plan of action to Li Yuan, that is, the Turks would mobilize all their troops and go south to raid Yang Guang's chariot. Li Yuan would be responsible for helping the Turks deal with the scouts who reported the news. It was precisely because of Li Yuan. With the help of Yun Dingxing, none of the scouts arranged by Yun Dingxing had any effect. They were all killed by the Turks. Therefore, the Turks were able to drive straight in and reach the Yanmen Pass. Correspondingly, the Turks only needed to help Li Yuan killed Wan He to avenge Li Yuan's death.
Regarding this truth, Wan He could not wait to rush to Taiyuan in one breath and kill all Li Yuan's family. Although Wan He usually didn't have a proper smile on his face, there was one thing that Wan He was very insistent on, and that was Hu Hanzhi. Point, the result of the Hu people going south, the previous Wuhu chaos in China can already explain the problem. If the Hu people are allowed to go south again, it will be a disaster for the Han people who have just stabilized, just because of their own personal hatred. , and to cause all the Han people to suffer such a disaster, Wan He was already filled with hatred for Li Yuan.
Wan He clenched his fists, and Li Jing's expression didn't look much better, but soon Li Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wan, we will talk about Li Yuan's matter later. The current issue, How to rescue the Holy Master,"
"Uh," Wan He, whose face was filled with anger just now, was immediately startled when he heard Li Jing's words. He looked at Li Jing with wide eyes and asked, "Li, Brother Li, are you kidding me?" Well, to rescue the holy driver, this letter clearly states that the Turkic Khan will mobilize an army of 300,000 to besiege Yanmen Pass. We only have 30,000 horses on hand. How can we repel that 300,000 army? To rescue the emperor, we are afraid that we can’t even fill the gaps between people’s teeth.”
But Li Jing didn't mean to be joking at all. Li Jing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wan, this holy driver must be rescued, and he must succeed. Brother Wan, can't you see? Your current status is all due to the emperor of today, and your current strength has not yet been fully formed. If something happens to the emperor, with your current strength, you are far from the opponent of those aristocratic families, whether it is the Yuwen family or the Li family. They can easily get rid of you, so from your point of view, the emperor cannot die, and we must go to rescue him,"
"Uh," Li Jing said, and Wan He also understood the reason, but when he thought of the three hundred thousand Turkic cavalry outside Yanmen Pass, Wan He's heart trembled, and he couldn't get rid of this idea. , After hesitating for a long time, Wan He raised his head and asked Li Jing: "Brother Li, in your opinion, do you have a chance of winning this battle?"
"Well," Li Jing also had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Although there is not much chance of winning, before the war is over, no one can guarantee that we will win or fail, let alone "We haven't started this battle yet, everything is possible," Li Jing said, shaking his fist vigorously.
It's just that Li Jing's words sounded like he was comforting himself. Wan He looked helpless, but he had to admit that Li Jing's analysis at the beginning was correct. Others might not go up to the pole to save the driver, but Wan He But He had to go, because now Wan He's wealth and life were closely linked to Yang Guang. Wan He took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said to Li Jing in a deep voice: "Brother Li, If this is the case, then I will leave all my 30,000 Imperial Guards to you, Brother Li,"
The Yanmen is closed, and rows of Imperial Guard soldiers are lined up neatly behind the gate. Facing the densely packed Turkic Qingqi outside the gate, these Imperial Guard soldiers do not have any fear on their faces. As the strongest soldiers in the world, even if they are in danger, They will never show expressions of fear or panic. This is one of the most important reasons why the Royal Forest Army dominates the world.
However, these soldiers were not panicked and fearful, but it did not mean that other people in the gate were not panicked and fearful. Just behind these soldiers, all the civil and military officials were hiding there, raising their heads from time to time and glancing outside the gate with frightened faces. Then he quickly retracted his head. Although there were veteran generals such as Lai Huer and his son, Yu Wenshu among them who were able to remain calm, most of the officials were still frightened by the size of the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass.
And in the gate, the person who was most frightened was Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who was sitting in the middle. Although Yang Guang was sitting on a makeshift dragon chair, his legs kept moving. The ground was shaking, and she held the armrests on both sides with both hands so hard that even the bones were about to protrude from the back of her hands. She was looking at his face, which was as white as paper, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were falling. His eyes were no longer there. The usual pride was replaced by fear and despair.
Three days ago, when the Turkic army suddenly appeared outside Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang's face had already changed like this. Even on the first day when the Turks attacked Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang was still holding the young Yang Gao. He lost control and burst into tears, but Yang Guang finally recovered a little of his true character as a proud emperor. However, facing the mountains and seas of enemies outside the pass, Yang Guang seemed to have lost hope.
"My lords, the Turks are attacking us. What can you do to deal with the enemy?" Yang Guang took a deep breath, turned his head, and asked the ministers on his left and right. The only people in front of Yang Guang now were his ministers. , and the 20,000 imperial guards in front of them can be relied on.
"Your Majesty," no one expected that the first person to speak was Yu Wenshu, a powerful official who rarely spoke in court. What Yu Wenshu was wearing at this moment was a set of red armor. He came out of the queue and faced Yang Guang with cupped fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty can select cavalry from the Royal Forest Army and gather the power of thousands of cavalry to escort your Majesty to break out of the encirclement and escape from the predicament."
"Break out," Yang Guang couldn't help but feel excited after hearing Yu Wenshu's suggestion. Escaping from the predicament has become Yang Guang's biggest goal. If he can really break out from the siege of the Turks, as long as he can get back After arriving in the Central Plains, Yang Guang no longer has to worry about the threat of the Turks. Thinking of this, Yang Guang's face couldn't help but turn rosy and asked: "I, can I really break out?"
The other ministers were also surprised by Yuwenshu's suggestion. No one expected that Yuwenshu, who was usually quiet, would come up with such a hot idea this time, but soon everyone also I just remembered that this old fox Yuwenshu was also a fierce general when he was young. Yuwenshu didn't care about the expressions of the officials around him, he just cupped his fists and shouted at Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the opinion of the old officials, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army They are brave and good at fighting, and there are always good horses in Yanmen Pass. As long as your majesty gives the order, the veteran will definitely select elite cavalry for your majesty. Although the veteran is old, I hope to protect you and be your majesty's pioneer." With that, Yu Wenshu directly came to court He knelt down and worshiped Yang Guang with a determined look on his face, completely different from the silent old fox he usually was.
"No, no, this must not be done." Just when everyone was surprised by Yu Wenshu's sudden change, another voice sounded from the other end, and an official came out, facing Yang Guang. Holding his fists and shouting: "Your Majesty, I believe that this breakout is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty is already in a critical moment. If you take risks again, once the breakout fails, it will be too late even if your Majesty regrets it. Please be careful." Think before you act,"
Yu Wenshu always spoke his mind in the court. This time he was so tough, and someone dared to speak out against it. Everyone was surprised by this man's courage. When he turned around, he saw that Yang Guang had been very angry a few days ago. Fan Zigai, Minister of Civil Affairs, was unhappy.
"Uh," at this moment, Yang Guang had long forgotten that Fan Zigai contradicted him. The impulse he had just been aroused by Yu Wenshu was dispelled after Fan Zigai's words. After all, Yang Guang Guang is no longer the King of Jin who dared to lead troops south to destroy Chen. After being a genius for so many years, Yang Guang's biggest change is that he cherishes his own life more and more. As Fan Zigai said, if he can successfully break through Of course it is good, but if the breakout fails, the Turks outside the pass will not be so kind and send Yang Guang back to the pass so that he can start over.
