Chapter 402: Northern Xinjiang is restless
However, it was said that Yang Guang returned from the last crusade against Goguryeo and defeated Dong by the way. After the Turks, the Turki Khan took the initiative to repair the relationship with the Great Sui.
Later, when the Sui army conquered Tuyuhun, they defeated the Shatuo Kingdom, so that Tuli saw the opportunity to unify the grassland, so he temporarily abandoned the past grudges with the Great Sui and returned to the country.
But he wanted to unify the Turks and establish a complete Turkic khanate, and there was another worry, that is, the Khitan tribes that had just risen west of Boliao.
Therefore, the Turki sent envoys to secretly pay tribute to Yang Guang, conclude an alliance, and prepare to destroy the Khitan together.
Because the Khitans often harassed Liucheng County, Beiping went to Luo Yi and regarded Liucheng County as his northern barrier against the Khitan, and every time the Khitan invaded south, he didn't care.
Over time, this Liucheng County is obviously the land of the Great Sui, but because of Luo Yi's small kingdom, it has become an enclave that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love.
The people of Liucheng County suffered from Khitan raids all year round.
Yang Guang wanted to become the first emperor of the ages, so he naturally didn't want to see his people being bullied.
Although he didn't treat these people as human beings when he forced the people to build the capital and dig the Grand Canal, he was the emperor and could play as much as he wanted, but outsiders couldn't.
Therefore, when the Turkish envoy expressed his intention to destroy the Khitan, Yang Guang appointed Wei Yunqi as a general, preparing to join the Turks in attacking the newly established Boliao State on the surface, but in fact preparing to attack and sweep the Khitan.
Unexpectedly, Gao Lanzhen, the queen of Boliao, quickly took control of the domestic situation, and sent the generalissimo Lian Er Xinshan to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to crusade against the Khitan.
After the annexation of the Khitan, Boliao's national strength increased greatly, compared with Goguryeo during the Quansheng period, it was even better.
Trying to defeat them by relying on the tens of thousands of allied forces of the Great Sui and the Turks is tantamount to a fool's dream.
On the contrary, Gao Lanzhen sent an army of 100,000 troops to garrison the upper reaches of the Xiliao River, and to the west could contain the east. The Turks, going south, can attack the Great Sui, and even annex the Xia and Kumoxi, two ethnic groups no less than the Khitan, and continue to increase their strength.
As a result, the Great Sui, which was in a sensitive period of frequent peasant uprisings, actually entered a very embarrassing situation. Not only could it not sweep away the Khitan, but it also had to increase troops to the north to prevent Boliao from moving south.
And once the vigilance is relaxed, Boliao will annex the Xia tribe and Kumoxi, and at that time, it will be even more dangerous.
East. The Turks could not count on it either.
If Tuli still wants to unify the grassland, he can't start a protracted war with Boliao, but needs to find ways to stabilize this fierce enemy.
After reading the recital, Yang Guang was so angry that he smashed it all the time, smashing many things in the imperial study that he originally liked very much.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”
For a while, Yang Guang suddenly had a feeling of being embattled, and he really didn't know what to do.
I really couldn't think of any good way, so I summoned Pei Ju into the palace, and after showing him the content of the recital, Yang Guang asked: "I am going to send Liu Wen to Yandi to guard all sides, what do you think?" ”
When Pei Ju heard this, his heart was not good.
If the king of Song left Guanzhong and went to northern Xinjiang to guard, what would be the difference between it and distribution? He can't participate in the disputes in the Central Plains for a long time, how can he compete for the world?
Flashing through this thought, Pei Ju quickly made up an excuse.
"Your Majesty, King Song is a live move! As long as he is in Guanzhong, all parties who want to make trouble must first consider whether they are the opponent of King Song. It can be said that although he lives in one place, it has the effect of deterring the dead party. ”
"But the emperor, if you send King Song to the land of Yan Zhao, it is equivalent to sending the living chess into a dead end. Isn't it just a good opportunity for others to have such a talent but not be good at using it? ”
"Hmm. You have a lot of point. Yang Guang nodded after hearing this.
At this moment, he thought of the playing cards that Liu Wen had given him.
I think this is the same as playing for the top. Only by pinching the king in his hand can he cause a deterrent effect to others, once he puts the ** indiscriminately, how can he win?
"Pei Aiqing, what do you think I should do?"
"Your Majesty, it is not easy for the Boliao Kingdom to annex two more tribes. And the old guy in Tuli definitely doesn't want Boliao to sit big. ”
So the minister thinks. It's completely okay to ignore Boliao. As long as the rumor is released again, it is said that Tuli is very dissatisfied with the annexation of the Khitan by Boliao. He wanted to send troops to attack Boliao, capture Gao Lanzhen and include him in the account, so that these Boliao people know who is the real master of the grassland......"
When Pei Ju said this, a lewd smile appeared on his face: "That Boliao Queen Gao Lanzhen is a woman, and it is difficult for people to look at it. If the rumors leaned on the affairs of men and women, Gao Lanzhen felt that her authority had been hit, and at that time, she would definitely have something to do with Tuli. ”
After listening to Pei Ju, Yang Guangda was overjoyed and praised him again and again. He asked again: "What about Shandong?" ”
"Your Majesty, you can completely encourage the local heroes to raise troops to quell the rebellion, and at that time, the rebels in Shandong will not have to worry."
Yang Guang frowned: "But many heroes and strong ambitions are not small, if they are too indulgent, I am afraid that there will be a situation like the end of the Han Dynasty." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Yang Guang looked at Pei Ju's expression and understood that the following words must be taboo.
Now he feels that Pei Ju is very much in line with his heart, so he doesn't care what he will say, he doesn't care: "Say it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Thank you, Lord Ron!"
After Pei Ju saluted respectfully, he continued: "Your Majesty, Lin Chong, Li Ying and others are not only brave in the three armies, but also very good at leading troops, although the scale is not large, but it is much more difficult to deal with than the Yellow Turban thieves in the late Han Dynasty. And the emperor, you, are the rare saint Ming male lord in ancient and modern times, how can you compare Emperor Ling of Han and Emperor Xian of Han? ”
"There are powerful thieves like Lin Chong and Li Ying, and there is no room for development and growth in those places. And in the hands of a great emperor like you, the emperor, who is rare in ancient and modern times, they are just a few chess pieces after all. ”
Pei Ju's timely sycophant, and Yang Guang was in a good mood.
The heart says yes! Those rebels in Shandong are enough to kill those strong and powerful people, how dare they provoke my Long Wei again?
Thinking of this, I can't wait for the strong armed forces to fight with the rebel people for a longer time, and after both sides are defeated, it is just time to clean up the mess.
With these thoughts, Yang Guang actually adopted Pei Ju's policy, and asked Pei Ju to help formulate and encourage the wealthy families in Shandong to recruit rebels and help the imperial court quell the rebellion.
In fact, with Yang Guang's ingenuity, as long as he pondered it a little, he would understand that Pei Ju's strategy would not work at all.
But now that the matter is coming, Yang Guang can't come up with any effective methods, so he unknowingly has a kind of ostrich heart.
So much so that Yang Guang avoided difficulties in his heart, unwilling to face up to the biggest trouble since his succession, and as soon as he heard that Pei Ju had a way, he hoped in his heart that things would develop in the direction of Pei Ju's words.
In the end, Yang Guang avoided the psychology of difficulties, successfully deceived himself, and let himself go further and further on the wrong path.
