Everything was arranged, and Wei Yun said slowly: "Your Highness, colleagues, have you seen anything from the six conditions of the Turks?" ”

Yang Dongqi said: "What? ”

Everyone also looked at Wei Yunqi, who groaned for a moment and said, "Jieli's six conditions are extremely harsh, even humiliating us, he has no sincerity to negotiate at all!" I think we should be prepared to meet the southern invasion of the Turkic army. ”

"Why did Master Wei come to this conclusion?" Wei Zheng couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, "If you don't accept the Turkic conditions, Jieli will invade the south?" ”

Wei Yunqi shook his head: "This has nothing to do with the conditions, whether we agree or not, Jieli will invade the south, and the excuse is probably to eliminate the southern khan." ”

Yang Shi Daoqi said: "Then why? ”

Wei Yunqi said word by word: "Establish the prestige of the Great Khan!" ”

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, his eyes flashed, and he had to admire Wei Yunqi's old and spicy eyes.

At this time, Wei Yunqi said in an accentuated tone: "The founding of the Turkic country is the credit of Qimin; The strengthening of the Turks is the credit of the beginning! Tiele died at the hands of the Khan of Chuluo, and he had nothing to lose. ”

"Generally speaking, when our new monarch of the Central Plains ascended the throne, he first implemented benevolent government, and won the support of the people by amnesty to the world and the release of criminals! But nomads are different, they believe in the respect of the strong, and if Jieli does not establish his prestige as soon as possible, the Turks under his rule will be scattered. Therefore, Jieli urgently needed a big victory to establish his prestige. ”

"His Royal Highness not only ordered Shibi to sink into the sand, but also took the Monan grassland, and my Great Sui was divided, and he fought and won great victories again and again, which will undoubtedly become the best object for Jieli to establish prestige, so I think the possibility of the Turkic invasion of the south is eighty percent. We even reached an agreement with Li Yuan to jointly attack us, and we must not only prepare for war with the Turks, but also prevent Li Yuan from plotting to seize Guannei Province and Hedong County. ”

"Your Highness, the minister completely agrees with Lord Wei's point of view."

Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Yunqi and said with some amazement, he knew that Wei Yunqi was a good talent for marching and fighting, and he was very good at coordinating the relationship between all parties, but he didn't expect Wei Yunqi, who was usually inconspicuous, to have such a grand overall view. Such a talent should be the same as Yang Shanhui, either to defend one side or hold an important position. Letting him serve as the idle secretary of the Ministry of Rites is really a luxury act that destroys the heavens!

Yang Tong's eyes froze, and he said: "Immediately order all parties to strengthen their vigilance, and transport the materials to the border counties, and prepare for a full-scale war!" ”

"Your Highness, not only do you have to prepare for war, but you also have to replace Li Jingshangshu in the center!" Fang Xuanling said.

Yang Tong nodded silently, Li Jing is in Guannei Province and defends the north and south, the task is heavy, and he has no time to take charge of the military affairs of the DPRK and China, so it is indeed inappropriate for him to lead the military department with great responsibility.

"Is there a candidate?"

"Far away, close at hand!"

Yang Tong laughed and said, "Wei Shangshu has been relocated to the Ministry of War, and Kong Shangshu is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Whoa!"

Wei Yunqi and Kong Yingda responded at the same time.

Fang Xuanling's eyes froze, and he said, "Your Highness doesn't want to ......?"

Yang Tong nodded and said: "The Turks have been divided into two departments, and there have been many duels, although Jieli has ascended to the position of the Great Khan as he wished, but the contradictions and hatred between the two departments are not eliminated by one or two!" Jieli, the great khan, is now unattached to the people's hearts, and there are internal worries! Therefore, instead of waiting for Jieli to fight, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and I plan to lead the Angry Waves, Raging Waves, Tsunami, Feiyu and Xuanjia armies to once again march out of the Great Wall, eat the Turkic tribes in the Liaodong area, and shake Jieli's rule. During this period, Kong Shangshu was responsible for negotiating with Kang Sumi and hanging him for ten days and half a month. ”

Since ancient times, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the northern nomads have always been the great enemies of the Central Plains, and their figures have never disappeared. And where the nomads passed, burning, killing and looting, the population was exterminated, and the Central Plains was thousands of miles away. It can be said unceremoniously that thousands of years of Han culture is even a history of wars against the northern peoples.

In fact, the Central Plains Dynasty was not completely on the defensive, the Qin Dynasty, the Two Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, Cao Wei, Shu Han, Eastern Wu, Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Sui and Tang, and Ming Dynasty large-scale counterattacks were also repeatedly seen in the history books, so what about him Yang Dong?

In terms of origin, he inherited the mantle of the Great Sui. The Great Sui had a strong army, and in dealing with the Turks, it had always adopted two major strategies of sugar-coated cannonballs, thus taming the steppe wolves.

However, the Great Sui did not eradicate the Turkic roots, and after the Great Sui weakened, the Eastern Turks that were supported by the Great Sui quickly showed their hideous fangs and pounced on the former Lord, which shows that the Huairou method is a failed policy, and that the Great Sui has not seen through the aggressiveness in the Turkic bone marrow. The Tang Dynasty in history almost copied the foreign policy of the Great Sui, and successively supported Xue Yantuo, Silla, Tubo, and Hui into poisonous daggers that stabbed him in the heart.

Although Yang Tong has formulated a long-term strategy to deal with Goguryeo, Turkic, and Tibetan, how can the current crisis be resolved? The only way is to weaken the Turks as much as possible while he is not yet involved in the urgency of the world, rather than allowing him to take the opportunity to grow stronger. The only thing he was worried about was that Li Yuan, who was not very good in character, took the opportunity to attack the nine counties in the north and the east to the east and Hedong.

But he also had to congratulate himself on his sudden decision at that time, destroyed Guo Zihe, and compressed the weak chicken-like Liang Shi to the heart, and ate Li Yuan's 100,000 elite soldiers by the way, otherwise, most of the Guannei Dao would fall into Li Yuan's hands, and now that Xue Ju is restraining Li Yuan, he is not too worried about Li Yuan's trouble.

At the same time, he was also glad that he had helped Wang Shichong up to play with Li Mi and Dou Jiande in the Central Plains, otherwise he would be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the form would be precarious, after all, whether it was a merger of states or Guanneidao, the time to get it was too short, and the people's hearts had not yet been completely attached to the Great Sui.

Everyone thought about it for a while, and also felt that this was an opportunity to weaken the Turks, and they did not oppose it. Regarding the combat strength of Yang Tong's five armies, everyone has nothing to worry about.

Yang Gongren said: "Your Highness, do you want to be matched with a Sui Army Sima?" ”

"No need! There is no tactic to speak of with the Turks, it is just to fight, and there is no need to match the army and Sima. When Yang Tong said this, he said: "Prepare 50,000 dry food bags for the Fifth Army!" ”

As a traverser, how can you not know that food is important on the march? Before that, a large number of dry food bags had been sewn from sheepskin, and the dry food he 'created' for the rapid march was 'fried noodles' mixed with salt and jerky!

Dry food bags are easy to carry, not to mention, the important thing is that you don't need to make a fire to cook, you can eat it when you pick it up, it is not easy to be exposed at night, it can also reduce the pressure on logistics, and what is even more powerful is that you are not afraid of being cut off by the enemy! If each soldier brings enough bags of dry food, he can march lightly for a month!

Summoned Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Luo Shixin, and asked them to quietly bring the four armies of Angry Waves, Wild Waves, Tsunami, and Feiyu to Zhuo County first.

This time, the march was in the ice and snow, and the conditions were far harsh, and the necessary water naan, white marching daze, waterproof leather cloak, marching blanket, flint, leggings, cloth shoes, and medicine were of course also indispensable.
