Chapter 190: Soldiers are coming to the city

While Khitan general Xiao Guang was looking at Yang Shuang, Yang Shuang was naturally also looking at the adopted son of the Khitan emperor.

He is worthy of being one of the four generals of the Khitan and has an extraordinary demeanor. If it weren't for the iron cavalry of Ming Guanghou coming this time, the Great Sui soldiers behind him would not know how many people would be left.

Just as Yang Shuang was thinking, Xiao Guang took the lead and asked: "His Royal Highness Ming is coming, are you going to attack Fuyu City?"

"That's right!" Yang Shuang nodded.

Xiao Guang sneered and said, "I originally thought that Your Highness, the King of Ming was extremely courageous, but now it seems that he is ignorant of life and death! Do you think that you can take down Fuyu City with just the troops behind you? Are you self-righteous or delusional?"

"Haha..." The Turkic soldiers behind Xiao Guang burst into laughter, and some of them even spoke Turkic words, but unfortunately Yang Shuang couldn't understand.

Yang Shuang said to Xiao Guang: "General Xiao speaks Chinese fluently, but his vision is not very good! There are only five thousand people behind me?"

"Of course! Is it possible..." Xiao Guang was about to refute, but suddenly, he thought of something and his face changed drastically.

Why? Because there were indeed only 15,000 people behind Yang Shuang, but there were no eight thousand iron cavalry of Ming Guanghou among these soldiers!

The eight thousand iron cavalry can be said to be the most elite soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, with amazing combat power. Xiao Guang's mission failure was entirely due to this iron cavalry.

But now this iron cavalry is gone!

Xiao Guang was not stupid, and immediately guessed that the eight thousand iron cavalry had other tasks, and they must have gone to other places.

Where would that be?

Just as Xiao Guang was speculating, Yang Shuang took the initiative to say, "General Xiao, your Khitan is in a corner, and you don't live honestly, but you just do the act of seeking death! Do you think that with the strength of the Khitan, you can mess up the Sui Dynasty? You are the delusions!"

"I am not arrogant today when I come to attack Fuyu City. Your Khitan can use 500,000 to 600,000 troops. This time, the attack on Huangya Pass is almost half of the troops. In addition, the suppression of Gewu City, Pinglu, Liaozhou City and other places will cost about 70,000 to 80,000. In addition, your troops in Songmo City and Fuyu City, this counts, it will be almost 400,000! In this way, how many troops are there for your Khitan can use?"

"Although you are allied with the Turks, the Turkic wolf ambitions are ambitions. I believe your emperor will not be too at ease. He must arrange troops in important border areas, which will cost about 100,000. There are also places bordering Goryeo, and they must also garrison troops. In this way, how many troops will your Khitan kings still have? I believe that in order to capture the areas outside the pass and Huangya Pass, most of them must be transferred."

"General Xiao, I guessed right!"

Xiao Guang's face instantly became gloomy.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Yang Shuang's guess was very accurate.

"You have sent eight thousand iron cavalry to attack our Khitan King capital?" Xiao Guang said gritting his teeth.

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"

Xiao Guang clenched his fists and sneered: "Hmph, let alone the eight thousand iron cavalry, even if you come again, eight thousand or eight thousand. As long as you get close to our Khitan King, don't think about leaving. You will definitely lose it there!"

"Is that so? I don't believe it, and I insist on betting that there are no large number of defenders outside your capital! Moreover, your Khitan is small and it takes only a few days to rush to your capital day and night to kill you. If there are no defenders, how can your king resist?" Yang Shuang asked.

Xiao Guang couldn't help but retort: ​​"Even if you are in the royal capital, you will not be able to defeat the capital city. By then, our Khitan reinforcements will arrive!"

Yang Shuang continued to sarcastically said: "What you said does make sense, but you should understand that you occupy Huangya Pass and kill our Kyoto to break through Kyoto?"

Xiao Guang gritted his teeth and stopped talking immediately.

The Great Sui Dynasty was a heroic city and it was difficult to break through. Therefore, the Khitan army really entered the pass and said it was an attack on Kyoto, but in fact it was centered on Kyoto and swept westward and southward. At that time, it was not the most important thing to break through Kyoto, and causing panic was the key. Once panic arises, the people think that the Great Sui Dynasty will perish, and it may not be easy to restore people's hearts.

By the same token, the Iron Cavalry attacked the Khitan King not to capture the city, but to run rampantly, causing the Khitan to panic!

At this time, Yang Shuang said again: "General Xiao, you are the adopted son of the Khitan Emperor. Now the king is about to face danger. No matter whether the Khitan King is defeated, you know this. If you don't go to save the Lord, is it unfilial or unfaithful? Or are you just trying to watch the Khitan Emperor in danger? This is your purpose?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Guang shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Only then did Xiao Guang realize that Yang Shuang was using an open conspiracy to seize the city!

He was the adopted son of the Khitan Emperor. The enemy was killing the capital. Shouldn’t he save him after he knew it? Yes, the walls of the capital would not be broken, but who can make sure that there will be no trouble? Xiao Guang dared not bet, nor could he bet!

If he doesn't save the Jia, the king should be safe, but he won't be safe. There will be many people who are willing to be punished to target him. The crime of not saving the Jia is enough for him to drink a pot!

But similarly, he could not escape the loss of Fuyu City, but he was here when he withdrew his troops, and he was not responsible for the safety of Fuyu City!

That's why Xiao Guang said this was a conspiracy!

"The Khitan King is indestructible. Do you think you can be arrogant with eight thousand iron cavalry? Humph!" Xiao Guang sneered.

Yang Shuang nodded and said, "Can you be arrogant or not be arrogant at that time, you will know at the sight of it. It depends on whether General Xiao dares to bet! I bet that you, the Khitan King, lacks military strength!"

"Then let's see the truth!" Xiao Guang shouted angrily and immediately led his troops back to the city.

Yang Shuang led his troops back to the camp to strengthen his guard.

Xiao Guang's face became extremely bad when he returned to the city.

The general under his command couldn't help but say, "General, if the Sui army and cavalry really approached the capital of the king, the general must go back to rescue the horse! Even if the king is not going to be a problem, the general must go back!"

"This is a conspiracy of the Sui Kingdom, it's obvious! Once you go back, Fuyu City may not be protected!" Another shouted.

"Who will protect the general after protecting Fuyu City? Although the general is His Majesty's adopted son, it is jealous. The siege and killing of the Sui soldiers has failed. If he doesn't go back to rescue the emperor, it will probably be even more dangerous!"

"Damn it! As soldiers, it is a fate that we die on the battlefield, and we should not be harmed by those damn civil servants!"



When the generals were talking, Xiao Guang, with a ugly face, suddenly shouted: "Stop talking!"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang immediately ordered: "Send scouts immediately to investigate and find out the whereabouts of the eight thousand iron cavalry, and see if the other party is going to the capital. In addition, tell Pinglu, Gewu City, and the garrisons in Liaocheng Prefecture that the army of Mingguang Hou will attack there!"

"Yes!" The generals immediately received the order.

On the other side, in the Sui army camp, Yang Shuang closed her eyes and rested, enjoying Pan Cailian's massage.

This is the benefit of carrying a female family. You can relax after being nervous and busy.

"Your Highness, will Xiao Guang lead his troops back?" Pan Cailian couldn't help asking.

Yang Shuang opened her eyes and smiled and said, "Yes!"

"Didn't your highness not know Xiao Guang? How could he be so sure?" Pan Cailian said in surprise.

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Because Xiao Guang is not a qualified military general, he is a powerful minister! The powerful minister cares about his own interests, so Xiao Guang cares about power and he does not allow himself to be influenced. Secondly, Fuyu City no longer has the necessity to stick to it, because the Khitan conspiracy has failed, and the Great Sui Dynasty's anger has to be vented, and Fuyu City is the price of the failure of this operation. He understands that he knows more than anyone else in his heart."

"So that's it!" Pan Cailian agreed.

Yang Shuang continued: "He will leave within two days, and wait for the good news!"

At this time, Yang Shuang guessed something. Xiao Guang had already made up his mind. He would never let his future be affected, but he didn't want to leave directly, so he endured it for a day.

The scouts he sent sent back the news and found that the Great Sui cavalry was striking towards the royal capital. The passing along the way was a nightmare for the Khitan people.

At the same time, the army attacking Huangya Pass also heard bad news. He could not take down Huangya Pass for a long time. The soldiers and horses of the King of the West Courtyard, Yelu Shanxiu, had lost their troops and lost their generals, and had already sacrificed tens of thousands of dollars. Now Yelu Shanxiu's army was bitten by the Great Sui army. It was no longer possible to withdraw safely just by withdrawing the troops.

This was the case. Xiao Guang immediately summoned all the generals. Early in the morning, he quickly left Fuyu City with his troops before dawn. As for the safety of Fuyu City, he handed it over to the original guard of Fuyu City.

The guard general sent Xiao Guang away with a sad face. Before leaving, Xiao Guang comforted him: "The enemy has only more than 10,000 people, but it is not a good time. Although you only have a few thousand people to defend the city, the people in your hands are your source of troops. The other party does not have large-scale siege equipment, and our 200,000 troops cannot take Huangya Pass. Do you think more than 10,000 of them can take this place? So don't worry."

After hearing this, the guards of Fuyu City felt it made sense, but they reluctantly sent Xiao Guang away.

As soon as Xiao Guang's troops left, the first person to panic was not the Khitan soldiers, but the people of more than 100,000.

Actually, Xiao Guang was right. There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and the second choice is ten, and there are also 20,000 troops. It is not a problem to defend Fuyu City.

Next, Yang Shuang did not attack the city, but released two hundred Khitan prisoners, and gave them a good lesson before they were released.

The two hundred people immediately fled back to Fuyu City.

The garrison of Fuyu City was named Akisa. Suddenly, he heard that some Khitan soldiers fled back, so he naturally opened the city gate and let them in.

"How did you escape?" Akisa asked quickly.

These Khitan soldiers said truthfully: "Report to the general, the prince of the Sui Dynasty asked us to bring a message to the general."

"What do you mean?" Akisa asked.

After looking at each other, the Khitan soldiers said tremblingly: "Report to the general, the prince of the Sui Dynasty said that they were just marching forward, and there will be 300,000 troops coming with siege equipment. He advised the general to surrender quickly and he would never treat it unfairly! He even occupied the Khitan in the future, built the place into the governor's office, and handed over to the general to manage!"
