Outside Yanmen County, siege battles are being staged every day, and the blood is fierce. Yanmen County has shaken and even collapsed gaps have appeared. However, the Sui army blocked it with soil, sand and stone overnight and continued to hold on.

Fortunately, the Turks were good at horse fighting and were not good at siegeing the city, so they still couldn't break the siege after 20 days of siege.

On this day, Shibi Khan was discussing strategies with the chiefs of various tribes in the camp, whether to give up the siege, continue to move south, or withdraw his troops and retreat.

Most people suggested withdrawing their troops because they heard that there were more than 200,000 Sui troops in Xinkou, who had already headed north and arrived near Wancheng. The southernmost tribe cavalry suffered heavy losses.

The fantasy of the Turks going south to break through the Central Plains is already difficult to realize, and it is useless to leave behind. It is better to roll up the materials and withdraw them as soon as possible.

At this moment, a guard hurried in with an envoy and submitted a secret letter containing Ke Dun's letter of help.

"Bang!" After seeing this, Shibi Khan slapped the table hard and said angrily: "The cunning Central Plains people actually sent troops deep into the grassland to attack our base camp. It's outrageous."

When the chiefs and generals of various tribes heard this news, they were shocked, worried that the exit outside Yanmen Pass would be blocked by the people of the Central Plains and sniped them, which would cause them to be attacked from both sides, like a turtle in a jar.

"Khan, we should withdraw our troops and go back to save our tribe."

"Yes, Khan, there is no benefit here. Every day of attacking the city, countless casualties and injuries, and the rear was also attacked and destroyed by the Sui army. So many tribesmen, cattle and sheep, can't be harmed like this."

Although these grassland people are barbaric and cold-blooded, they are still very lively and value their tribesmen and families.

Seeing that everyone was about to retreat, Shibi Khan knew that the situation was hopeless, he had no choice but to announce his retreat and demanded to take away all the food, iron tools, cattle and sheep, women, children, etc. in the nearby city, which was also considered wealth.

Two days later, after the Turkic army contracted, they slowly retreated and left Yanmen Pass.

There was no sound of fighting in Yanmen County. Everyone stood at the top of the city and looked out. There was no soldiers or soldiers, only some empty camp remnants, no war horses neighing, no sound of golden spears, the fields and hills outside the city were quiet.

Soon, after sending scouts from the city to investigate, the news was confirmed and the Turks retreated.

"I heard from Your Majesty that the Turkic army has retreated and left Yanmen Pass."

"It's great, God bless me, and I will immediately send someone to regain control of Yanmen Pass and keep inseparable from the cusp and not lose any losses." After Yang Guang was ecstatic, he immediately ordered the blockade of the pass so that he could be safe.

The news of the Turkic withdrawal of troops spread, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were relieved and cried with joy. All the civil officials and generals were excited and shouted, "God bless the Great Sui Dynasty."

At this time, Yang Guang's king's aura was much more restored, becoming gloomy and cruel. He sent a Sui cavalry led by Chen Yu and immediately carried him on his back. The soldiers who were separated from the Turks appeared along the way, and the wounded fell behind and immediately massacred and relieved their hatred.

The next day, Qu Tutong, Zhou Fashang, Yu Juluo and other generals led their troops to come, and the number had reached 150,000. They were both happy and ashamed to learn that the Turks had retreated. They did not play much role.

"I am late to rescue the emperor, which makes Your Majesty frightened and asks for punishment!" Although Yang Guang was a little angry before, he only understood this truth afterwards. These generals and soldiers were temporarily recruited from various places. The number of people varies, and there must be a gap. Today, the enemy has just retreated and the political situation is unstable. Yang Guang did not shout at these generals again.

"You have made great contributions to your rescue, but what are the crimes? I and my ministers have been rescued. Any general who comes to serve the king will be rewarded."

At this time, Yang Hung, Yuan Wuda, Xu Hongren and others also came to apologize.

"My son is guarding the city in Gan County, but because of the few major generals, he was surrounded by the Turkic army and could not come to rescue him. Please punish him."

"It's not easy for you. Since you are besieged by the Turkic army, you must not be able to escape. What's the crime? Just calm down!" Yang Guang knew that Yang Qing and others had less than 300,000 troops under their command, and forced a rescue in front of the 300,000 to 400,000 Turkic army. In fact, there is no difference between seeking death. Since he was involuntarily, he was not blamed.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, so I came to rescue you. I deserve to die for you-" At this time, someone burst into tears, very miserable and tragic.

Yang Guang was unhappy and thought that he had just solved the problem and should have been happy. Who was crying like this?

Everyone looked at it and saw a group of landing near the distance, a general, with a high nose and blue eyes, a Hu bloodline, a messy dressed in clothes and armor, a disheveled head and a beggar, like a beggar, he was Wang Shichong, the governor of the Jiangdu Palace and the county magistrate.

He walked over quickly, and before he could even come, he fell to his knees, then knelt on his knees, looking very funny.

When Yang Guang saw Wang Shichong's appearance, Fengchen rushed to rescue him, and the displeasure in his heart disappeared immediately.

Wang Shichong rushed to the front, cried in tears, and cried, "I was worried when I learned that Your Majesty was trapped, and I immediately recruited 10,000 troops and hurried to serve the king. However, the journey was too long. Even though I went day and night, I didn't take off my armor at night, and I only ate one meal a day and rested for two hours before I finally arrived. Seeing Your Majesty's dragon body was not injured, it was still like the light of the sun and the moon. Heaven and earth could be seen, I was at ease, but I was unable to rescue the driver in time and asked for a heavy punishment-"

Many ministers were despised in their hearts, and they could see that Wang Shichong was so good at acting that he was so flattering.

But Yang Guang had just suffered a great disaster and was stimulated by his spirit, so he liked to listen to such touching remarks, boasting about masturbation and intoxication. So after listening, he was quite moved and did not even punish him severely. He reached out to pull Wang Shichong up and encouraged him, believing that he was loyal to the emperor and a role model. Not only was he unpunished, but he also had a heavy reward.

Luo Zhaoyun was depressed. It seemed that Wang Shichong's play was more meritorious than him, and the treatment seemed to be better. He really knew how to do it, so he could say it better.

After the meeting, Yang Guang announced the rectification of the three armies, then left Yanmen County, and arrived in Taiyuan three days later, where Jinyang Palace replenished supplies. The civil and military ministers cleaned up from the inside out, and restored the temperament of officials and nobles.

During this period, Wang Shichong grabbed Luo Zhaoyun to a banquet and drank close to him. However, although Luo Zhaoyun did not refuse, he was not very enthusiastic. He just took this opportunity to learn about this person, because in the future, he might become a great enemy to fight for the world.

Yang Guang thought that Yanmen was too important and suffered a great disaster, so he pardoned the various punishments of sinners in Taiyuan and Yanmen counties, and asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to discuss how to rebuild Yanmen County and restore local operations.

At this time, generals such as Lai Huer, Pei Renji, Tu Wanxu returned with the remaining soldiers. They were responsible for cutting off the rear and fighting against the Turkic cavalry. Because the Turkic army was eager to pursue Yang Guang's team, they did not hit the three teams on the way with all their might, leaving only one team to fight. Afterwards, Lai Huer and others persisted until they could not resist, and led hundreds of remaining soldiers to break through and rushed to Mayi City outside the pass. After learning that the Turkic army was retreating, they returned.

Yang Guang promoted several generals and the remaining soldiers to all give titles, rewarded them to appease the morale of the army.

In October of the same year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and his group returned to the eastern capital Luoyang, and Luo Zhaoyun also returned.
