A few days later, Jia Xu and Fu Youde led the army to return to the camp with Wang Baobao and other high-ranking prisoners of war and the army.

The tens of thousands of beheaded heads suddenly cheered up the Sui army, and their morale was high.

"Spread the decree, build the heads of these tens of thousands of barbarians into a Jingguan, and stand next to the camp, so that the Turks and Jurchen barbarians can take a good look, this is the fate of my Great Sui."

Yang Gao immediately issued a holy decree: "Chengdu, you personally lead the team to escort Timur and other prisoners of war to the outside of the Turkic camp, so that Temujin and them can take a good look." ”

"The last will obey!"

Yuwen Chengdu immediately surrendered his hand and left.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bowen, Chen Ping, Jia Xu, and Fang Xuanling ask to see you!"

Not long after Yuwen Chengdu left, the guards guarding outside the imperial tent entered the palace to report.

Yang Gao nodded slowly, waved his hand and said, "I just wanted to go to them, announce a few Aiqing to come in." ”

"Yes!"

"Weichen see Your Majesty!"

After a short time, Liu Bowen and the other four entered the imperial tent and bowed down.

"A few Aiqing don't have to be polite!"

Yang Gao waved his hand in the void and said with a slight smile: "A few Aiqing came at the right time. Now our army has won great victories one after another, and has annihilated tens of thousands of Hu Lu. I thought I should seize the opportunity, strike while the iron is hot, and give Hu Lu another heavy blow. ”

"Your Majesty's words are true!"

Liu Bowen arched his hand and said: "After discussing with Lord Jia, Lord Chen, and Lord Fang, the minister has drawn up three strategies for His Majesty's imperial review. ”

"Oh? Aiqing and let's talk about it. ”

Yang Gao immediately became interested and waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the tens of thousands of Hulu annihilated by General Fu Youde in Hebei are all Temujin's descendants. Temujin was now in a state of great distress, and the Turkic chieftains may not have had other thoughts. ”

Chen Ping was the first to speak: Your Majesty can issue a holy decree, no matter who takes down the head of Temujin from the Turkic tribes, my Great Sui will support him as the Great Khan of the Turks, which is a plan to attack the heart. ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Yang Gao nodded approvingly, the Turks have always respected martial arts, and there is little loyalty to speak of. Now that Temujin has been frustrated, there may not be a second Yelu Abaoji under his command.

Fang Xuanling stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, now that the puppet Tang Li Yuan and Temujin have formed an alliance, this can make Temujin attack Youzhou with all his might. The minister thought that if they could break their alliance, at least Temujin would also divide some of his forces to return to the grasslands. ”

Yang Gao shook his head helplessly and said, "But Li Yuan is not incompetent, and in the current situation, it may not be easy to break up their alliance." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter may be able to make use of Qin Hui, the pseudo-Tang official of the Ministry of Shangshu who was captured by Lord Jia in Hebei."

Liu Bowen arched his hand and said: "As far as Weichen knows, the alliance with Temujin was strongly promoted by Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng remained silent on this matter. This Qin Hui is Li Jiancheng's confidant, if Li Jiancheng can speak against it, then Li Tang's wind direction must change greatly. ”

"I heard that Chai Rong, the governor of the puppet Tang Dynasty, strongly opposed the alliance between the puppet Tang Dynasty and Temujin, so that he separated from Li Shimin. If Li Jiancheng opens his mouth at this time, he will definitely be able to win Chai Rong as a big arm. ”

Yang Gao smiled slightly and said, "Presumably this is what Qin Hui should say to Li Jiancheng when he returns to Chang'an, right?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Liu Bowen said: "Chai Rong has been in charge of the state for many years, and in the early years, Temujin supported Zhao Kuangyin and went south to loot many times, and the two sides had a deep grudge. Li Shimin supported an alliance with Temujin, which led to Chai Rong's separation from him. Li Jiancheng has always been in a weak position in the military, and Chai Rong's 100,000 elites are a great temptation for him. ”

"As long as the pseudo-Tang wind changes, no matter what the final result is, Temujin will no longer rest assured that Chai Rong's annexation of the state army, and it is imperative to divide the troops."

Yang Gao continued: "I don't know what your Aiqing's third strategy is? ”

Chen Ping stepped forward and replied: "Wanyan Aguda is now also heavily deployed in Youzhou, and Liaodong is empty. Goguryeo, however, has been accumulating soldiers and horses and coveting Liaodong. ”

"Goguryeo is the sworn enemy of my Great Sui, the defeat of Sashui in the past, and the death of 300,000 troops. I and the Great Sui would never have anything to do with Goguryeo. ”

Without waiting for Chen Ping to finish speaking, Yang Gao categorically vetoed.

"Your Majesty, we don't need to come forward in this matter."

Jia Xu stepped out of the column and said: "Mo Lizhi Cao Cao, who is now in power in Goguryeo, took the opportunity to launch a coup d'état when Yuangai Suwen defeated Qingzhou and was greatly injured, and killed the Yuan clan. However, he himself was a retainer of the Yuan clan in his early years, and did not have any significant merits.

Your Majesty can send people to spread rumors in Goguryeo, how can a person without merit and virtue be worthy of a high position? In order to consolidate his position, Cao Cao could only send troops to Liaodong to gain military achievements. ”

"I heard the report of the Jinyi Guard, Cao Cao has actually prepared soldiers and horses, but he has not been able to trigger it, presumably because he wants to get some benefits from me."

Yang Gao snorted coldly disdainfully: "The small country of Goguryeo also dares to come to plot against me?" With their little strength, even if they send troops to Liaodong, as long as they finish fighting back, they can only flee back in disgrace. ”

It's not that Yang Gao looks down on Cao Cao, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu is indeed one of the most outstanding heroes in history, even if he is a little inferior.

But Cao Cao was in charge of Goguryeo for less than two years, and it was impossible to fundamentally change the strength of the Goguryeo army in such a short time. The Jurchens come from between the white waters of Black Mountain, and the harsh natural environment tempers their will and forges an incomparably strong fighting force.

In the face of the absolute strength gap, no matter how good the leader is, he is powerless.

At that moment, Yang Gao adopted the three strategies of Liu Bowen and other strategists, and issued a holy decree to the Turkic tribes, and the Sui Dynasty only recognized the former Jieli Khan as the Great Turkic Khan, and did not recognize Temujin's identity. Whoever can take the head of Temujin will inherit the position of Jieli Khan.

In addition, he ordered Jia Xu to spread rumors in Goguryeo to force Cao Cao to send troops. In the end, Yang Gao summoned Qin Hui, who was escorted over with Wang Baobao and others.

Whether Qin Hui is a hard bone or not, history has long told the answer. What's more, Qin Hui's vision is not bad, he knows who is more likely to dominate the world between the Sui and Tang dynasties today.

When Yang Gao summoned Qin Hui, Qin Hui wept bitterly, claiming that he was ignorant and ignorant to follow the Li family to rebel, and now he has awakened and is willing to abandon the secret and serve the Great Sui, and swears frankly that he will persuade Li Jiancheng to come forward and destroy the alliance with Temujin.

Yang Gao was disgusted with Qin Hui in his heart, but now that Qin Hui was still useful, he said a few words to comfort him, and rewarded him with the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, promising to wait for the destruction of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, so he promoted him to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and thanked Qin Hui for his kindness, kowtowing and thanking him.
