Chapter 351

As Yang Kan expected, the troops in Yangzhou were very empty.

When Su Wei learned that the Huai Army broke through Shaobo Lake, besides scolding He Chou for his incompetence, he quickly recruited the people in the city.

The temporary conscripts and the soldiers originally used to defend the city totaled only about [-].

3 people want to defend Yangzhou City, it is simply a fantasy.

"Servant, the Huai army is approaching the city, what should we do?"

A Lang general beside him asked.

Su Wei glanced at him, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have already reported the news of the Huai Army to His Majesty. Your Majesty has 30 troops in his hands. As long as he brings back [-] to [-] elite troops, he can drive the Huai Army cavalry back." !"

He saw disbelief on the faces of several generals around him.

Immediately added: "Although the Huai army's cavalry is not weak, but they are just cavalry, how can cavalry be used to attack the city? There is a strong city to rely on. As long as you obey the orders, the enemy will not be able to break through the city!"

Hear this.

Only then did the generals breathe a sigh of relief. Indeed, the cavalry of the Huai army in the distance looked powerful, but in fact they did not have siege equipment, nor did they lead infantry.

Attacking cities and conquering land is still powerful with infantry.

Su Wei briefly appeased the defending general, and watched the cavalry of the Huai army start to set up camp in the distance, then turned around and walked down the city wall, surrounded by a dozen guards, towards the direction of Guiyan Palace.

On the way, many people, merchants, and men and women who were moved into the city knew the situation of the Huai army approaching the city.

The streets in the city were no longer bustling as before.

It has become much more bleak.

And those dandies and domineering children of aristocratic families also retreated home at this time.

Came to Guiyan Palace.

Su Wei was immediately summoned by Empress Xiao.

Su Wei is a veteran of the Sui court, and also served as a prime minister. He was quite capable in history, but his character was flawed. He often engaged in party affairs and was dismissed twice.

But later, he was appointed again because of his outstanding talents.

After coming to the world of Shenzhou, he was appointed as the servant of the household department, and he was also regarded as the top of the Sui army.

In fact, his father Su Chuo was the real prime minister, and he was an important minister who assisted Yu Wentai, similar to Wang Meng and Fu Jian, and Liu Mu to Liu Yu.

Yang Guang reused Su Wei, and perhaps he also had the intention to win over this top minister after Su Chuo came.

"Su Shilang, what's the current situation? Has your Majesty sent a letter back?"

When Empress Xiao saw Su Wei, she couldn't wait to ask.

There was a trace of deep fear on her beautiful and graceful face.

Su Wei smiled wryly in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, Madam, I have already reported to His Majesty immediately, and His Majesty will have a decree soon!"

Empress Xiao bit her red lips slightly, feeling even more frightened.

Not to mention Yang Guang is fine.

As soon as Yang Guang's name was mentioned, Empress Xiao subconsciously felt unconfident, feeling that with Yang Guang's ability, she could not deal with the current crisis at all.

After a few words of comfort, Su Wei resigned on the grounds of military affairs.

When leaving Guiyan Palace.

Su Wei noticed that the guards guarding the palace, as well as many maids and eunuchs in the palace, were somewhat agitated.He quickly dispatched a team of troops to calm the chaos.

"Could it be that Sui Ting is really exhausted?"

When a country is about to fall, there will be evil spirits, just like when an earthquake and natural disaster strike, all kinds of birds, beasts and birds will flee wildly.

When a dynasty and power are about to end, many people will have a premonition.

Especially the death of Sui Ting II, and Yang Guang, the subjugated king.

In many people's minds, Sui Ting's temperament is very shallow. In the past, it was mainly Yang Shuang, Duan Wenzhen, and Yang Yichen who were stationed in Yangzhou, and the Sui Ting continued to expand through concerted efforts.

The booming situation suppressed everyone's thoughts.

But when Sui Ting came to danger, Yangzhou City, where the base of the power was located, was approached by soldiers, and the thoughts in everyone's hearts could not be suppressed immediately.

Including Su Wei, there were some murmurs in their hearts.

It's just that he has experienced a lot, and his emotions and thoughts are covered up so well that no one notices.

"I heard that King Huai started from scratch and swept all over the world. He has both civil and military skills, and knows people well. He has even more famous ministers and generals under his command. If...Yangzhou really can't resist falling into his hands, and if Huaibei and Huaidong are connected together, there will be great success." The foundation of the dynasty!"

Su Wei thought slightly.

The Sui Dynasty was not far from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When Su Wei was growing up, it was the time when the Eastern and Western Weis were standing side by side, and the Hu style in the north was relatively heavy.

He played under Yang Guang's command mainly because he valued Yang Jian's ability.

Prepare to wait for Yang Jian to come, and hug the thigh of the wise master.

But now things have gone awry.

Before Yang Jian arrived, Yang Guang showed signs of being unable to hold on. Sui Ting was surrounded by enemies from all sides, and the army was overwhelming.

If something happens to Yang Guang.

Do you want to die for him?

Su Wei's mind was floating, and when he returned to his home, he was still immersed in thinking.

"Homeowner!"

An elderly man stepped forward, waved away the guards following Su Wei, and said softly, "Someone sent a letter to the Patriarch, it's a very important matter..."

"A letter?"

Su Wei's expression changed, and he led the old man into the study.

This old man is the son of the Su family, and also the old housekeeper of the mansion. He used to obey Su Chuo's side, and he has a good vision and ability under his influence.

Su Wei trusted the old housekeeper very much.

The old housekeeper took out the letter from his sleeve, and Su Wei immediately opened it to read.

As he flipped through the pages, his expression began to change.

"It's a letter written by Duke Huai himself!"

After Su Wei read it, he remained silent. After a while, he casually handed the letter to the old housekeeper and explained.

After reading the letter, the old housekeeper became very calm.

This letter was indeed written by Wang Jing himself, and it was handed over to the spies of the Military Intelligence Department to bring it into the city, and it was handed over to Su Wei when the iron cavalry besieged the city.

In the letter, Wang Jing did not ask Su Wei to offer the city, but only gave him a choice.

If Su Wei is willing to join the Huai army, he will sacrifice Yangzhou.

Wang Jing then appointed him as the Minister of the Six Departments of Prince Huai's Mansion, and also guaranteed that the property and land of the Su family would not be affected...

"Uncle Cai thinks, what should I do in the current situation?"

Su Wei asked with complicated eyes.

The old housekeeper knew clearly that what the head of the family said meant that he had actually made a choice deep in his heart.

He said softly: "Your Majesty is not like a king. Sui Ting's energy is exhausted, and King Huai is sweeping all directions with the appearance of a wise king. This old slave thinks that the Patriarch might as well agree to King Huai..."

Su Wei frowned and said: "But if this is the case, wouldn't I become a disloyal minister? If I sacrifice Yangzhou, my reputation will definitely be ruined. Even if I surrender to the Huai Army, it will be difficult for me to ascend to a high position in the future!"

He didn't notice it.

I have already agreed to join the Huai army by default, but I am a little worried that my reputation will be affected.
