With the demise of more than 1,000 people such as Ashina He Modu, this great war that lasted for more than two months finally came to an end, and the Great Sui defeated the four or five hundred thousand armies of the Eastern and Western Turks at the same time and slaughtered the Western Turkic troops through Mingyue County, and quickly spread throughout the Western Regions, and all the countries in the Western Regions trembled.

However, the worries of the kings of the Western Regions disappeared soon after, and the Great Sui was still the same Great Sui as before, and they were as particular as before, after they killed and drove out the hateful Turks for themselves, they did nothing wrong to their own people, and all the countries needed to pay was the food and salary of the Sui army and the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle!

These can be given and accepted by various countries, after all, the Great Sui is fighting a national war for itself, and it is appropriate to pay a little material.

But soon, they found that the people's support for the Sui army far exceeded their own. Fortunately, the Sui army did not carry out a peaceful evolution of itself like it did with Gao Changguo, let alone reform its own life. After they were relieved, the Sui army also conveyed the will of the Sui Dynasty to the countries, and the Sui Dynasty hoped that everyone could get along amicably in the future, not to fight and kill, and at the same time hoped that the Silk Road could be restarted, and everyone would have money to earn together.

Now the forces of the Sui Dynasty, in less than two months, have crippled the Western Turks they feared, in the face of such a behemoth, whether it is the powerful Yanqi State, the Qiuzi State, or the farther Shule are unwilling to provoke, the Sui Dynasty took the initiative to release goodwill, and everyone was naturally happy.

Hearing that Yang Tong was about to ascend the throne, the kings of all countries marched eastward, hoping to give a good impression to the new monarch of the Great Sui. In particular, the Yanqi Kingdom and the Qiuzi Kingdom formed a large number of envoys and brought heavy gifts.

They hope that their sincerity can allow the Sui Dynasty to put the southern route of the Silk Road in place, the so-called southern route, that is, Dunhuang Yangguan - Shanshan - Yanqi - Qiuci this one, once opened, the Yanqi and Qiuci countries on the line will benefit immensely, the previous Silk Road only took Gaochang, so that Gaochang made a lot of money, everyone has long been red-eyed, and now when I heard that Yang Tong intends to open up a new line, the two countries are naturally encouraged.

It's just that Gaoming has now become the Mingyue County of the Great Sui, which also makes the southern route of the Silk Road unfathomable, and the Yanqi Kingdom and the Qiuzi Kingdom do not want to miss the opportunity, hoping to persuade the Sui Dynasty to open, and are even willing to bear half of the cost of building the road.

On the side of the Sui Dynasty, before Huangfu Wuyi arrived, Su Dingfang sat in Huarong City, Mingyue County, acting as the military and political affairs of Xingtai Province, Xu Jingzong and others went out with the army, everyone took office nearby, and this group of young talents attached great importance to the opportunity given by Yang Tong, and they went out early and returned late every day, and they were so busy that the sky was dark.

At the time of the sensation in the Western Regions, Yang Tong had already led the triumphant army to Wuyuan County, and he now received eagle letters from the Western Regions almost every day, with information from various countries and some extraterritorial cultural customs.

After crossing over, he just wants to survive in the troubled times, and after creating a good situation, the goal becomes to end the troubled times. Up to now, with the great unification of the north, the collapse of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the gradual consolidation and strength of the country. It also makes Yang Tong's ambition no longer limited to the Central Plains, after all, he is still young, even if it takes ten years to end the troubled times, he still has a lot of time to govern and strengthen the country. It can still be developed externally.

And he has too many talents under his command, too many good generals and ministers, if his pace and gaze only stop at the Central Plains, then it is a cruel poisoning for these ancient generals, they will have a gloomy curtain call, and then eat and wait for death, illness and old age will die at home, this is a tyrannical thing, but also a stranglehold of famous generals.

However, money is needed to fight wars.

If there is no money, where will the military spending come from?

Silk Road.

The Silk Road can bring an endless source of wealth to the Han Dynasty, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and can also bring huge wealth to the Great Sui, and its restart is imperative.

With money, the Great Sui can truly make the people rich and the country strong; With money, the Great Sui can raise millions of male teachers.

"Why is Your Highness so interested in extraterritorial?" Yin Mingyue met Yang Tong and looked at the information in the Western Regions, and couldn't help but ask.

"The stones of other mountains can attack jade." Yang Tong said with a smile: "I believe that at this time, the Great Sui is still the strongest power in the world, but it is not the only one, further away in the Western Regions, there are many powerful countries, they have their own civilization and language, and they also have a strong army that is not weaker than my Great Sui, the territory is vast, the population is large, not under my Great Sui, if you can absorb the essence, it may not be able to make my Great Sui go further." ”

Yin Mingyue was noncommittal, she didn't understand this, and instead reminded: "Your Highness, we have been staying in Wuyuan for two days!" ”

"I know!" Yang Tong smiled and looked in the northwest direction.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Yudu Jin Mountain, the court of the Turkic Khan.

The deserted king's tent is as brilliant as ever, and it is the largest and most glorious tent on the grassland. The thick leather was wrapped in a layer of brocade, the thick fur mattress was attached to the innermost layer, and in the middle of the tent there was a whole sheep that had been eaten more than half, exuding a faint smell of meat, all this was so normal.

The only thing that was abnormal was Jieli Khan, he only felt that his muscles and bones were sore and stiff, and he just wanted to move his muscles and bones, when a sharp pain came from his mind, and when he squinted, he realized that he was naked, the wound on his shoulder was ruptured, and the scarlet blood stained the gauze red.

He was defeated again, not to the Great Sui Dynasty, nor to Ashina Simo, that was all in the past.

He was defeated yesterday by Xue Yantuo of Kedun's mother's family, Tiele.

That's right!

Xue Yantuo turned against him.

In the first Battle of Yemachuan, the old bastard almost died at the hands of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were rebelled by Qin Qiong, and it was he who sacrificed more than 3,000 of the strongest detachments to rescue him alive in the chaos, but how did he repay himself?

At the most difficult time of his Jieli Khan, when he went to ask for help, this despicable and shameless old father-in-law Yi lost the bowl and stabbed him, if it were not for the stubbornness and the loyal people led by Ashina Sheer to protect him desperately, he would have died yesterday in the encirclement of Xue Yantuo.

But although he escaped, he also sacrificed more than 5,000 warriors.

And he could only watch his warriors being besieged and hacked to death one by one, and watching Xue Yantuo, who had once trusted Xue Yantuo the most, turn against him, but he, the great khan, could only choose to escape. In that case, it was already a fluke to be able to return to Yudujin Mountain alive.

He hates.

He hated the Sui Dynasty and Ashina Simo, but he hated this Yi lost bowl who betrayed him even more.

The unprecedented despair made Jieli Khan groan and close his eyes in pain.

"Father Khan!"

Two young heads popped out of the tent, and the eldest son, Gu Yushe, and the youngest son, Dieluozhi, walked in, "Father Khan, you can eat something!" ”

Jieli Khan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Father Khan is defeated, and he is defeated and has nothing, how many meals can he eat?" Anasmoth won't let me go, and Ess won't let me go......"

The desperate situation made him disheartened.

Gu Xiangshe said in a deep voice: "Father Khan, we still have a chance, as long as we gather all our strength, we can fight them to the death." ”

Jieli Khan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The prairie is about the jungle, we are now powerless, and those so-called allies will abandon us sooner or later...... I have now seen through the so-called allies. ”

"Great Khan......" Gu Xiangshe was about to speak, when Zhao Deyan walked in from outside, looked at Jieli Khan's frightened and dazed face, and shook his head helplessly.

The stabbing of the Yi lost bowl brought not only the loss of the troops and the morale of the Jieli Khan, but more importantly, the loss of the bowl made a bad start for the tribal leaders who had a wait-and-see attitude, which is that there must be one and two, everyone sees that someone is opposed, they will follow suit, if Jieli Khan can not quickly stabilize people's hearts, he will become a loner in a short time.

"Mr. Zhao, what should we do now?" Jieli Khan seemed to grasp the last straw, and grabbed Zhao Deyan and said.

"Summation!" Zhao Deyan said categorically.

"Summation?" Jieli Khan smiled bitterly, "Yi lost the bowl can ......"

"It's not Yi Lost Bowl, I'm talking about Da Sui! As long as the Sui Dynasty says a word, whether it is Yi Lost Bowl or Ashina Simo, they will not dare to conquer us. A hint of brilliance flashed in Zhao Deyan's eyes.

"Sui Dynasty?" Jieli Khan glanced at the stunned two sons, returned to Zhao Deyan's body, shook his head and said, "Mr. said that it was funny, the Sui Dynasty hated us to death, how could it be agree?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Deyan said eloquently: "When the Turks were strong at the beginning, the Sui Dynasty was divided into Eastern/Turkic and Western Turks under the two-pronged strategy of military attack, division and division. After the Sui Dynasty, adhering to the concept of Changsun Sheng, he implemented the book of 'distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and the weak' against the Eastern/Turkic, and the Qimin Khan also managed the Eastern/Turkic greatly. And now the Sui Dynasty, their first task is to reunify the Central Plains, and they don't have much energy to focus on us, but the Sui Dynasty also doesn't want Ashina Simo to run the Turks into a unified and powerful country after they unify the world, which is not in the interests of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm so stupid, I actually forgot this......" Jieli Khan's godless eyes suddenly ignited the light of hope, and he got up and said: "Don't say that the Sui Dynasty will help us, as long as the Sui Dynasty is willing to say a 'truce', we will have a chance to breathe, as long as we get through the current difficulties, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory." ”

"But ......" Gu wanted to set up not to fight his father Khan, but he felt that it was impossible.

"I know the eldest prince is reluctant to bow his head!"

Zhao Deyan said as if he would be wrong: "Prince, we have no choice, we need to recuperate, we need to conquer the Yi lost bowl, only by eliminating the Yi lost bowl, other tribes will not dare to rebel." But the premise of all this is that the Sui Dynasty and Ashina Simo will not attack, so we need Yang Dong's understanding and forgiveness, in order to get a glimmer of life, we must show enough sincerity, and even be prepared to be greatly blackmailed by Yang Dong. ”

"I'm not ......" Gu Yushi was dumbfounded, he didn't think so, he was just worried that the Sui Dynasty would not agree to the peace proposal, because they had completely lost the bargaining chip for peace negotiations.

"Shut up!"

Jieli Khan glared at his eldest son and said to Zhao Deyan: "Sir doesn't need to pay attention to him, but who is the one who makes it?" ”

"Please allow the Great Khan to go and talk to Yang Dong in the next place, and Yang Dong will definitely agree to withdraw the troops."

"No!" Jieli Khan said: "Yang Tong hates the Han people who work for us, and I am afraid that he will not let Mr. go!" ”

"It's okay!" Zhao Deyan waved his hand and said angrily: "The Great Khan treats me as a national soldier Zhao Deyan, and I will repay him as a national soldier!" Danger is nothing! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Jieli Khan said gratefully.
