Turbulent Times Chapter 1363: The strange dialogue between Xiaoyu and Khan
(Thank you very much for the monthly support and encouragement of ‘csn69’.)
When Zhang Jike was sent to the Turkic camp, Yang Guang, accompanied by Yu Wencheng, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Dugu Changsu and other important officials, personally visited the army in Dayan City and tried to improve the morale of the army.
At Yanmen City near the city wall, the prefect Zhou Fangpei had someone clear out a large open space.
Except for the army on duty at the head of the city, Yuwen Chengdu deliberately concentrated all the troops here. More than 10,000 county soldiers and more than 60,000 imperial troops lined up neatly. The important minister appeared, but there was not much improvement.
Yang Guang drove slowly in his car. He stood on the dragon chariot. After Yuwen Chengdu ordered the army to kneel down and shouted three times, he said loudly: "I promise you, as long as you fight the enemy bravely , as long as I block the Turkic army for me this time, as long as the Wild Goose City is not destroyed, all those who participated in the battle will be rewarded with a tael of silver for each person killed. People, you can be named Marquis, and I can swear to the late emperor that I will never allow any officials in the court to take credit for your achievements."
No matter how well Yang Guang is the emperor, he is the emperor after all. The so-called emperor's words are full of promises. The soldiers were immediately excited and excited. , but also to defend the city from the top of the city.
Besides, there are more or less loyal to the emperor in the imperial army. Under the leadership of these people, tens of thousands of troops raised their arms and shouted: "Your Majesty, Holy Spirit, long live! Long live!"
Yang Guang's official announcement and wish made the morale of the 80,000 troops re-stabilized, and the morale of the army recovered a lot, which can be seen from their surprised expressions and cheers like mountains and tsunami.
Seeing that the morale of the 80,000 army was renewed under his own agitation, Yang Guang was still very happy. He thought that I was still loved by these soldiers, and those dog officials who came from aristocratic families corrupted me because of their excessive corruption. The country is now fragmented.

"The Turkic dog thief is simply wishful thinking!"
Zhang Jike left Nie Xiaoyu in the Turkic camp and returned safely. In fact, he didn't know when Nie Xiaoyu left him. But after he reported the four conditions of Shibi Khan to Yang Guang, Yang Guang was furious on the spot, and angrily swept all the delicious food on the table that Zhou Fangpei, the prefect of Dayan County, had worked so hard to get on the ground.
Yang Guang also recognizes money and goods, even the places where several counties were separated, but he is such a proud person, although he is about to give up on himself now, even he has already thought about this time. After escaping from birth, after returning to Luoyang, he went to Yangzhou to completely let himself go, and let the emperor's eldest grandson stay in Luoyang to take care of him
Jiangshan.
But no matter what, Yang Guang is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible for him to kneel at the other party's feet in women's clothes and dance according to Shibi Khan's conditions. Moreover, he would not be able to do it even if he killed his concubines and all the women in his harem.
Yang Guang can lower his head to ask Wang Junlin for help, because up to now, Wang Junlin still admits that he is a king with a different surname in Sui Dynasty, and he is Yang Guang's courtier. At least everyone can live with his face, but his strong self-esteem is still there, and he still has the bottom line of his own self-esteem. It is absolutely impossible to do such a humiliating and humiliating thing under Khan's conditions.
"Your Majesty calm down, the Turkic Khan is asking for a lot of money. Your Majesty might as well bargain with him slowly. Anyway, our purpose is just to delay the time. Your Majesty will never bow to the Turkic people. Maybe after King Qin's army arrives, Your Majesty will turn defeat into victory and vent this bad breath." These years Zhang Jike was ordered by Wang Junlin, when Yang Guang was still the prince, he lurked beside Yang Guang as an aide, and it lasted for more than ten years. High-spirited, ambitious, and self-righteous emperor, how did he become such a disheartened, distorted, suspicious emperor step by step.
To tell the truth, Yang Guang is very kind to the people around him, especially the people he trusts. Whether he is an official, or rewarding land, house, women and property, he is very generous. Zhang Jike is one of them. It is impossible to say that he has no gratitude and guilt towards Yang Guang.
So, if possible, Zhang Jike will try his best to help Yang Guang have a good ending, and he can't bear to see Yang Guang look so decadent.
When Yang Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the ashen and anger on his face dissipated a lot.
"Yes! I have never thought of surrendering to the Turks, let alone surrendering. Why are you so angry? My King Qin's army will arrive soon. Although that traitor Wang Junlin is hateful, he will definitely not Just sit and watch me being killed by the Turks. As long as Wang Junlin comes, I will be saved." Yang Guang regained his composure and muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty is wise." Jing Tian said hastily, he knew that these compliments were very necessary for His Majesty the Emperor at this time, and could restore His Majesty's confidence so that he would not lose his mind.
"Jing Tian, you go out of the city again to see the Turkic Khan, and tell him that I promise him a ransom of ten million taels of silver. If you don’t agree, after you go, bargain with Shibi Khan, I will allow you to be the master, for one purpose, to delay the time as much as possible, after Wang Junlin and other troops from all walks of life arrive, I will cooperate internally and externally, and I will counterattack. I want Shibi Khan to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy." Yang Guang gritted his teeth.

"Yes
You, eight years ago, you detoxified Ben Khan in the Great Sui Palace and saved Ben Khan's life, why did you appear here. "In the king's tent of the Turkic camp, Shibi Khan waved away everyone, leaving only him and Nie Xiaoyu.
Nie Xiaoyu stared at him and said, "It's great that you still remember me."
Sibi Khan said complicatedly and gratefully: "This Khan was sent to the Sui Dynasty in the second year of Daye to participate in the birthday celebration held by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty for the Empress. On behalf of the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Gai Su Wen, the son of Goguryeo Yuan Tai Zuo, represented Goguryeo. The Three Kingdoms competed in archery. Unexpectedly, the thief Yuan Gai Su Wen secretly used poisonous needles on Ben Khan in an attempt to make Ben Khan die in the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui and Turkic wars started, Ben Khan thought he would die, but you saved Ben Khan, and Ben Khan will never forget it.”
"Then do you still remember my name?" Nie Xiaoyu suddenly walked three steps in front of Shibi Khan, the two looked at each other, Nie Xiaoyu said in a strange tone.
"I remember, your name is Nie Xiaoyu." Shibi Khan replied after thinking for a while.
It's just that his voice just fell, or at the same time when he said the three words 'Nie Xiaoyu', his body shook suddenly, and then he was in a trance for a moment.
"I want you to do things according to my orders, are you willing?" Nie Xiaoyu said again.
"Yes, I will do whatever you ask me to do, but I know you are from the Sui Dynasty, so I can't retreat." Shibi Khan said without hesitation. Full of weird fanaticism, like the fanatics of later generations, but judging by the look and behavior, it is normal.
Nie Xiaoyu said: "I won't let you retreat, because if you withdraw immediately without any reason, the leaders of various ministries around you will definitely suspect and oppose you, and your Khan position will also be in danger , I just listen to my words and act on the condition that you don't retreat."
"That's good, that's good, as long as you don't retreat, I will listen to you." Shibi Khan rubbed his hands and said.
"You have someone prepare a set of clothes, and I will dress up as your personal soldier." Nie Xiaoyu said lightly.
The conversation between the two is full of weirdness. Nie Xiaoyu doesn't know what method he used. Shibi Khan is obviously not completely controlled, but as long as he doesn't violate the most steadfast thing in his heart, he will definitely obey. Nie Xiaoyu's order.
…
…
Not long after, Shibi Khan suddenly called the leaders and generals of various tribes and ordered to divide 100,000 troops into five groups, 20,000 each to attack the five counties of Dayan County.
The Turkic ministries and generals have no opinion on this order, and they will rush to do it.
