Turbulent Times Chapter 1406: The horse thief who suddenly appeared
At this time, Yang Guang was completely caught in a contradiction. On the one hand, he didn't want to be led by Wang Junlin, which made him feel ashamed and very unhappy.
On the other hand, since Wang Junlin had already disobeyed his will and wiped out most of the Turkic army led by Ashina's heirs, it was really hard for him to refuse the temptation to give him this step.
Yang Guang looked gloomyly at Wang Junlin, who was about to bow his head with **** mane, he hesitated in his heart, and as a result, the city fell into a dead silence.
Yu Shiji sighed secretly at the side, suddenly knelt down to Yang Guang, and said loudly: "Your Majesty planned a strategy to make the Turkic army lose its vigilance with the canonization plan, and secretly sent a messenger to order King Qin An to lead the Far East Army to attack the Turkic army. Complete victory, Your Majesty is wise..."
Pei Shiju, Zhang Jike, Yuwen Chengdu, Wang Rengong and other well-informed courtiers also knelt down with complicated expressions, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Afterwards, the remaining officials and soldiers also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Although these soldiers faintly felt something was wrong, they didn't have much doubt when they thought about Wang Junlin's return to His Majesty the Emperor just now, and most of their disappointment and resentment towards Yang Guang dissipated.
Yang Guang took a deep breath and said: "King Qin An came from afar, and I was able to get out of trouble from the Turkic thieves. King Qin An should be the first to do it."
Wang Junlin cupped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Suddenly, a hidden murderous intent appeared in Yang Guang's expression, and he said loudly: "Aiqing has worked hard these days, why don't you dismount and enter the city, I will reward Aiqing face to face."
Wang Junlin respectfully said: "Your Majesty, Liu Wuzhou, the traitor in Mayi County, dared to collude with the Turks to trap His Majesty to death. Now most of the Turks have been wiped out by the army led by His Majesty, and less than a tenth of the remaining thieves escaped. Yi County is still in the hands of Liu Wuzhou, so I will lead the army to kill Liu Wuzhou for His Majesty and take back Mayi County."
After speaking, Wang Junlin bowed to Yang Guang, the head of the city, then got up, turned his horse's head and left.
When Yang Guang saw this, his expression became extremely gloomy. Wang Junlin's posture at this time was to tell him that no matter what he said, whether he wanted to or not, he would not enter the city, and he would go to fight Mayi immediately Liu Wuzhou of the county.
What else can Yang Guang do? Just now Wang Junlin gave him a step down, making everyone think that the latter did not.
Going against his will and maintaining his authority as the emperor, but now he is forcing him to agree to his request in person, otherwise Wang Junlin will disrespect his will in full view, and it will only be Yang Guang who will be ashamed and affected. The prestige will only be him, Yang Guang.
Wang Junlin was plotting Yang, no matter how resentful Yang Guang was, he didn't have many choices in the end, or there was only one choice.
Yang Guang was naturally not reconciled, so the audience once again fell into a strange dead silence. After all, Yang Guang was a very face-saving person, and he couldn't hold back his face.
Yu Shiji said again at the right time: "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries with General Wang Rengong and lead an army to attack Liu Wuzhou, a traitor who colluded with the Turks."
Pei Shiju glanced at Yu Shiji, and then said: "I am also willing to share your majesty's worries, and I am willing to make suggestions with the army, attack Mayi County, and bring Liu Wuzhou, the traitor's head, to your majesty."
Wang Rengong sighed secretly, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead the army to destroy the traitor Liu Wuzhou."
"It's pitiful for the emperor to be like this." Li Shimin sneered in his heart, but he followed Wang Rengong and expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the soldiers of Taiyuan County to destroy Liu Wuzhou for Your Majesty. "
Led by Yu Shiji, who can be said to be the best at observing words and expressions in the world, all civil and military officials asked for orders. After King Qin An, they expressed their concern for His Majesty and attacked Liu Wuzhou. The scene where Junlin forced Yang Guang to make a decision also disappeared.
Yang Guang heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Yu Shiji with satisfaction, and said majesticly: "All my loves are dedicated to sharing the worries of the court, and they are all my loyal ministers, but since King Qin An proposed it first, I will allow King Qin An to lead the troops Go and kill Liu Wuzhou, and bring the traitor's head to me."
Wang Junlin immediately bowed and cupped his fists solemnly and said, "I would like to obey your majesty's will."

………
The ruler of Mayi County, Liu Wuzhou, is in a bad mood these days.
To be precise, since the Turkic people began to retreat in front of the army of King Qin of the Great Sui Dynasty and suffered heavy losses, he was full of worries.
Until the Turks retreated and fled back to their lair, Liu Wuzhou was already extremely depressed.
After learning that the Turks were defeated,
Liu Wuzhou was worried that Yang Guang would send troops to attack him, so he had already ordered his troops to enter a state of combat readiness and dispatched a large number of spies.
With the secret support of the Turks, Liu Wuzhou rebelled and occupied Mayi County for more than a year. In addition to his original 20,000 Mayi County soldiers, he used this year to forcibly recruit another 80,000 horses. There are one hundred thousand troops.
He was originally a general of Yingyang, and he was good at fighting. It can be regarded as an elite soldier.
And just when Liu Wuzhou was worried that the Sui Emperor would send an army to attack him, a group of about 5,000 horse thieves suddenly appeared out of thin air in Mayi County. This is a normal situation, not to mention that in today's troubled times, there are countless thieves, and sometimes he even sends people to neighboring counties to act as horse thieves.
So, when this news was reported to Liu Wuzhou, he didn't pay much attention to it. It just ordered the nearby troops to send troops to encircle or drive them away.
But then Liu Wuzhou couldn't care about the horse thieves anymore, because the officers and soldiers really came to beat him, but the number was not many, less than 20,000.
When he heard that there were less than 20,000 people, Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed. He thought that the emperor was really confused.
But when the news came that the 10,000 people were from the Far East Army led by King Qin An, Liu Wuzhou's face changed drastically. With a solemn expression, he directly ordered to abandon the counties and shrink the troops of the counties to the counties. city.
……
……
At the head of the city of Mayi County, Liu Wuzhou looked at the neat and powerful camp of the Far Eastern Army outside the city, his face was full of worry, solemnity, and doubts.
Of course he knew that the well-known King Qin An also had objections, and it was reasonable to come to King Qin this time, but how could he listen to the emperor's old son and attack his Mayi County.
You know, Mayi County is more than two thousand miles away from Wang Junlin's Fanyang County!
Yesterday he received the news that the Far Eastern Army suddenly came to Mayi County, and after that, Wang Junlin led the Far Eastern Army to the city of Mayi County. None of the spies from Menjun came back alive.
