Seven days later, Yang Tong led the triumphant army into Yecheng, and the blue brick walls were thick and solid, majestic and profound. On the city gate, there are city towers, arrow towers, and gate towers. Towering in the air, magnificent. In the afternoon sun, the city that crawls in the snow becomes shining, like a city of miracles.

The arrival of the triumphant division, Yecheng boiled, the city was dispatched, countless people beat gongs and drums to greet and create an earth-shattering Sui soldiers, the group was treated with a grand courtesy, everyone wore red ribbons, crossed the horse and paraded the streets, and accepted the cheers and praises of the people of Yecheng.

The people of Yecheng are refugees from all over the world, and they cherish the peaceful days, and they have great respect for the soldiers of the Great Sui who often bring great victories, because they know that a strong army that wins a hundred battles is the guarantee of their happy life. Not to mention the newly incorporated merger and state, not to mention the Guannei Dao, but the happiness index of the people of Jizhou and Youzhou is definitely the highest among the twelve states, and today's life is even better than before the troubled times, because they are not only not exploited by the family and local wealthy families, but the government also divided the land and gave each household a ploughing cow for free.

Where did this ploughing ox come from? It was the Great Sui soldiers who snatched it from the extremely vicious Khitans, Xi people, Turks, and Goguryeo people with their lives, but in the end they gave it to the people for free.

Yang Tong's return to Yecheng also relieved the Turks and Goguryeo, who had been worried about themselves, Yang Tong stayed in Pegasus County, even if there were not many soldiers and horses around him, it was enough to bring a huge sense of oppression to the neighboring Turks and Goguryeo, and now that Yang Tong has returned to Yecheng, this pressure has also weakened a lot.

Yang Tong returned to Yecheng, but called Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande, the three princes who were neighbors with Yang Tong, nervous, but fortunately, Yang Tong didn't seem interested in getting involved in the disputes in the Central Plains, but Dou Jiande was under great pressure, after all, the naval division of the Bohai Sea and the tens of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Yellow River were not joking, and it was really hard to say when they would fight.

But then again, Yang Tong is really not interested in expanding his territory anymore, his foundation is not solid, and he doesn't know when he lost it. Think about why Liu Heimin was able to sweep the entire Jizhou in a short period of time in history? Dou Jiande created a huge popularity is one of them, the most important thing is that Li Tang unified the country too quickly, and the control of Jizhou was not effective, so it fell in a few months, if it were not for Li Shimin and many famous generals and fierce generals, the world is very likely to be in chaos again.

Yang Tong didn't want to suffer this loss, and decided to stop and lay a solid foundation, it is not a good thing to develop too fast, but there is one thing that must be done, that is, the Turks cannot be given a stop to recuperate, as for this task, it is most appropriate to hand it over to the southern khan Ashnasimo.

"Smoke... See Your Highness! When Ashina Simo saw Yang Tong, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, because Yang Dong asked to assist in the battle, plus a little contempt born from his own growth, at this moment only the awe of Yang Dong remained.

This person in front of him is really ruthless.

Personally led the team to set off a bloody storm in the Turks, hundreds of thousands of people of Tongluo were burned by him, even if the Turks are not as good as before, Jieli Khan can not be compared with Shibi Khan at all, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Ashina Simo no matter how arrogant he is, he does not feel that he is comparable to Jieli who dominates the grassland, but he is such a Turkic Great Khan, who was killed by Yang Dong hundreds of thousands of people, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart.

At this moment, when he faced Yang Tong again, he was not only grateful for the good treatment given by the other party, but also had a complete sense of awe for the vicious Yang Tong.

"Southern Khan, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, don't be polite, hurry up." Yang Tong affectionately helped him up.

"Your Highness." Ashina Simo stood up respectfully, bowed and said, "I don't know what His Highness has to call the humble post to come this time, what are your orders?" ”

Yang Tong smiled: "Now you are already a hegemon, the overlord should have the spirit of a hegemon, there is no need to be so restrained." ”

"Don't dare, Your Highness will always be the king, but there is an order, and Simo will never give up!" Ashina Simo looked at Yang Tong's smile, his heart tightened for no reason, and his demeanor became more respectful.

Hegemon?

Is he, the tribal leader surrounded by the Great Wall in the territory of the Great Sui, a fart overlord? Renjie Li is the real overlord of the grassland, but so what? Now this grassland overlord is not the same as a stepping stone for Yang Tong to become famous?

Yang Tong said with a smile: "I invited you to Yecheng this time, but there is a big deal to share with you, if this matter is successful, you will definitely become the great Great Khan of the Turks like the Khan of Qimin." Let those who looked down on you before prostrate at your feet. ”

Hearing this, Ashina Simo's eyes lit up, although he was afraid of Yang Dong, he was also very impressed by Yang Dong's ability. Since Yang Tong made his fortune, he has never failed. And the sentence "Let the people who looked down on you before crawl at your feet" was especially touching to him.

Although he was also the son of Qimin, he was never trusted, and the reason for this was that his mother was only a Sogdian slave girl, and he inherited the appearance of a Sogdian. Therefore, he could not be regarded as the same kind by the Ashina family, and in the eyes of Qimin and his other sons, Ashina Simo was no different from a slave. Father and brother are like this, others naturally will not take him seriously, if it weren't for his hard life, he would have died at the hands of his brother a long time ago. He was at peace with what he encountered, thinking that this life would be like this, but Yang Tong's words opened a new door for him, and inside the door, there was a high glory.

He was tempted.

"Please ask Your Highness to command, but if there is a sending, Simo will do his best to assist." Ashnasmo's heart raced.

"Your tribe has 100,000 troops, and Jieli is about the same number. Today, the Turkic tribes are busy with disaster relief and the resettlement of tribes, and they are at loggerheads with each other. I thought this was an opportunity to plunder, and your people had the protection of the Great Wall, so you were completely lightly armed and had no worries at all. Yang Tong was no longer polite and went straight to the point.

"Sending troops to rob?" Anashi Simo's heart jumped, and he looked at Yang Tong in surprise.

"Do you know how much I seized this time?" Yang Tong asked and answered: "There are 650,000 horses, of which there are 395,000 warlike horses, more than 213,700 cattle, and the most sheep, more than 13.6 million. There are more than 2 million pieces of all kinds of wool, more than 150,000 catties of dried meat, and countless gold, silver, jewelry, and jade. Nearly 300,000 people were captured. ”

"So much?" Ashina Simo was taken aback, this harvest was more than ten times more than that of him.

"Yes, that's it!" Yang Tong said with a smile: "Do you know why I grabbed so much, and you are less than one percent?" ”

"It is the soldiers of the Great Sui who are brave and good at fighting." Ashina Simo said respectfully.

"It is, but it's secondary! Because I went on this trip, the real war I experienced didn't. And you have more people than me, you have fought more battles than me, and you have twice as many deaths, but you have gained ninety percent less than mine, why? Because you don't know the art of war, you don't know tactics! If you do it like this, your little money will be lost by you sooner or later. ”

"Shame!" Ashina Simo's old face flushed.

Yang Tong smiled: "I decided to send General Qin Qiong to fight with you." Qin Qiong has a military career of more than ten years, and he was once the number one general under the command of General Zhang Xutuo, the god of war of my Great Sui, and he is indispensable to me in every war! This time, our troops were divided into two routes, and Bayegu, Xue Yantuo, and Ge Lulu were conquered by him. With him in command, you can at least reduce your losses by more than half, and when your strength reaches 200,000 soldiers, even Jieli will not dare to be your enemy easily, and when I pull out my hand, we will take Jieli together, and then you will be the master of Yudu Jin Mountain. ”

Ashina Simo's eyes lit up, if he really fought big enough to have 200,000 soldiers, then after annexing Jieli, he would be the Great Khan of the Turks, completely free from Yang Dong's control. At that moment, he saluted Yang Tong and said, "Simo is willing to follow His Highness to the death!" General Qin is also welcome to be the commander of our army. ”

"Okay, when it is broken, it is broken, and you have courage!" Yang Tong smiled with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, I wonder when we will send troops?"

"Without further ado, General Qin Qiong will go to Baicheng with you tomorrow." Yang Tong sneered in his heart, this time he tried to find out this guy's ambition, if it is really not my race, his heart will be different. Next, let your soldiers consume the war potential of Jieli Khan, and when Shubao's prestige surpasses the whole army, there is no need for you to exist.

However, although he didn't have to worry about Qin Qiong's safety, Yang Tong still gave him the Nutao Army, but although Qin Qiong was moved, he didn't want to live or die, it was to protect Yang Dong's pro-army, and Yang Dong's safety was more important than anyone else, and in the end he actually picked 10,000 good cavalry recruits, thinking that with training methods, sooner or later he could train a strong army no less than the Nutao Army.

Yang Tong saw that he insisted, and he didn't force it, anyway, the main force was the Turks, and Qin Qiong, who knew Yang Dong's intentions, would definitely not let the recruits fight for consumption, and the new ones were tempered in the war, and if they changed a batch of recruits in a month or two, the recruits would become 'veterans' who were not afraid of war.

After Qin Qiong left, Yang Tong handed over the Nutao Army to Niu Jinda to lead, and at the same time, let Yu Chi Xue's Tsunami Army expand to 20,000, and the number of Xuanjia Army and Flying Feather Archers remained unchanged.
