"Good!" Listening to Xue Wanchun's cheerful words, Li Jing suddenly felt happy, originally thought that Xue Wanchun would do some bargaining on this issue, but he didn't want Xue Wanchun to have no intention of bargaining at all, but directly agreed, which made Li Jing look down on the hearts of the generals under King Jin.
"Since I let Ben Shuai command, my intention is to let General Xue give up his men and horses from Mayi City, return to the mountains of Yanmen County to lurk, and wait for Ben Shuai to lead all the Turkic cavalry to the outside of Dingxiang City and Yanqiu Mountain, General Xue will go out of Yanmen Army to attack his flank and cut off his return grain road. At that time, the Turkic soldiers will return to the army, and the commander will go out of the city to cover the killing, if our army will win, the credit will be half of that of General Xue, and the commander will not be greedy for merit. ”
"Huh! A trick to lure the snake out of the hole, and then a door to fight the dog, the Turkic Tatars are far away from the terrain is not familiar with the terrain, not good at mountain warfare, a certain see that this plan is feasible, according to General Li's intentions, our army will withdraw from Mayi City and return to you, go to Yanmen Mountain to ambush. ”
"General Xue, this ---" Xin Wenli on the side couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the main general Xue Wanchun had agreed to Li Jing's conditions. This Mayi City was personally seized by him from the Tang Army, but now it was abandoned because of Li Jing's words, and Xin Wenli was a little dissatisfied.
"New general, the small city of Mayi is tasteless, and tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry have entered the urn, and killing a few more Turkic generals is a great achievement, don't you hear the merits of General Luo Cheng with an iron-faced cold gun? If you take out the troops of Ma Yi and join a certain army, there are nearly 80,000 people, which is enough to cut off the back route of the Turkic soldiers. ”
"That being the case, the last general commands." Xin Wenli suddenly woke up after listening to Xue Wanchun's words, and he didn't fight anymore, and readily agreed.
"Good! I heard that the cavalry of the Jin army won a hundred battles, and today also let the commander receive the elite combat power of the Jin army. Li Jing said boldly.
Different from everyone's happiness, on the side, the Tang Army general Yin Kaishan and the deputy generals Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu looked extremely embarrassed. Because the Luo Chenggong that Xue Wanchun just mentioned was obtained by himself, his general Sheng Yanshi was also counted as a Turkic general who was killed, and the head was sent to the palace in the capital. Luo Cheng's scenery is the same, all based on his own failures. Alas! Who called himself the identity of the Turkic allies at that time? It's really dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and there is suffering to say! Yin Kaishan was bitter and ashamed in his heart.
At the end of the military discussion between the two sides, they did not hide their personal interests, and everyone obeyed.
Xue Wanchun and the others did not delay, bid farewell to Li Jing and Duan Zhixian and other Tang generals, and went to Mayi City with Xin Wenli.
The news of the Turkic invasion of the southward invasion was not only known to Pei Shiju in Luzhou, but even Yang Er, who was far away in the eastern capital of Luoyang. Yang Er's first feeling was to immediately stop attacking Jinyang City, and temporarily suspend his troops with Li Yuan, so as not to let the Turkic Sha Bo Luo Khan have an opportunity to take advantage of. Lu Zhaolin was the main general, and Hou Junji, Ding Yanping, and Zhai Rang were the deputy generals to occupy Wenshui City, disengaged from all contact with Li Yuan's Tang army. Lu Zhaolin also did not go to Jinyang City for the time being to persuade him to surrender. Xue Wanchun's troops, which attacked the three northern counties behind Jinyang from Yanmen, changed from auxiliary operations to the main force facing the Turkic invasion, and quickly contacted the Sanyuan Li Jing division that had fled the "Long March" to Dingxiangcheng to discuss an armistice and jointly resist foreign enemies. It's just that his own thoughts are actually in line with Li Jingzhi's thoughts, which is exactly the same, and it can be said that the hero sees the same thing!
Because of the uninvited arrival of the Turkic army, Li Yuan, who originally got the news, felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. Even made him feel that he was being attacked by the two powers of the north and the south, and when he was lamenting and discouraged with the civil and military forces in the house, Wenshui City sent an envoy from the Jin army, and the letter stated that the two sides had a consistent position on the outside world, and took the initiative to withdraw the vanguard Ding Yanping who came to attack Jinyang City.
This sudden change made Li Yuan and his ministers unable to react for a while, but it suddenly activated Chai Shao, who had been depressed. It was Chai Shao who broke through the good intentions of Yang Guangyan, the king of Jin, and the outside world, which made Li Yuan and other Chinese martial arts sigh! Among them, there were many ministers who were amazed by the pattern of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and even made Tang Duke Li Yuan have some shame on his face.
Accepting the initiative of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, the two sides dismissed the troops and integrated the military strength of both sides to the outside world, which became the consensus of all the people involved in the government council in the Tang State Mansion, and almost everyone, including Li Yuan, had a great bad feeling towards Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and a good feeling arose. In what little Li Shimin said to Yang Guang, although this cousin is embarrassed by his father everywhere, he is indeed a good person who cares about the world. This also represents many people's views on Yang Guang, the king of Jin, which laid the foundation for the integration of Tang and Jin in the future, which is a later story.
Different from the melee that took place in the north, the vast lands of the Central Plains, Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai, and other newly annexed Jin King Yang Guang presented a peaceful, stable, and thriving state. The people have recovered from the civil war, and the new land policies implemented in various places have long been recognized by the people, and all the land assigned to the people has been planted with various crops and grains, and some precocious ones such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. have been picked and dried by diligent farmers, and the harvest of the farmers is generally very good. Only large tracts of new, high-yielding rice that are gradually turning golden are still waiting to ripen in the fields, but this has made the farmers waiting at the edge of the fields smile, because the good years and good land policies have made the people see good hopes.
In the prosperous world, there were fewer thieves and more itinerant merchants;
There is no longer the miserable cry of selling children and daughters, and the laughter of people in the fields and streets is everywhere.
Under the new policy, Yang Er attached great importance to trade and encouraged merchants to come and go, the status of merchants was improved, and the environment for doing business in various places was greatly improved, which made merchants see unlimited business opportunities under the rule of King Jin, which also made the city more prosperous and the urban population gradually increased.
Luoyang City has attracted many exotic merchants, especially the merchants of the Eastern Ying Kingdom and the Western Regions. Yang Er didn't feel any different about the Western Regions business trip, but the entry of many Dongying people into Luoyang made Yang Er can't help but be wary.
On this day, in the main hall of the Luoyang Palace, Yang Er met at the same time with the representatives of the Western Regions who came to meet and the short envoy of the Eastern Ying Kingdom. Compared with the Eastern Ying Kingdom, Yang Er wanted to know more about the current situation in the Western Regions, which had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years.
"Your Highness, this envoy Elifa is from the Western Turkic Empire, and he was sent by the Great Khan of our country to envoy to the great eastern powers, and brought with him more than 300 people and thousands of carts of goods from our country. First arrived at Chang'an, the capital of your country, only to know that the first emperor of your country was deceased, and under the guidance of Yu Culture and adults, he came to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to meet His Royal Highness, and this envoy wished His Royal Highness the emperor as soon as possible. The Western Turkic envoy Elifa complimented him in a fluent Chinese.
"Thank you to the Western Turkic envoys for your kindness! Your envoy please take a seat, your envoy comes from the far west, and has come here from thousands of miles away, and this king is very curious about your customs and customs, and has something to ask you. Yang Er looked at the Turkic envoy with brown-red curly hair and a complete Central Asian appearance. In the eyes of the Great Sui people, this Turkic man of different races looked strange and was rarely seen, but to Yang Er, it seemed to be commonplace, and he asked softly.
"Please ask Your Highness to ask, this envoy should solve your Highness's doubts." Elifa covered his chest with his right hand and bowed.
"Your Western Turkic State originally had thirty or fifty small countries, and it was the territory of my Central Plains Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago, I wonder if there are still Han people in the country now?"
"Your Highness, there are dozens of counties in my Turkic country, such as Gaochang, Shanshan, Qiuzi, Tiele, Yanqi, and Jimo, all of which were originally small countries in the Western Regions, and many of these countries were raised by Han people, and they got along well with the local people and did not suffer."
"Over the years, the north of this dynasty has been disturbed by Turkic attacks, and it is still under the attack of the Turkic steppe cavalry, although you and others belong to two countries, but they are the same family, I don't know if you can let your country shoot Kuk Ke Khan came forward to mediate and mediate, and the two sides stopped the army?"
"Your Highness, my Turkic Empire has long been divided into two Turks, Western and Eastern. I am afraid that my Western Turks will be unable to come forward to mediate the war, and I hope His Highness will understand. ”
"Hmmm! Okay, let's not talk about that. Would you like to ask your envoy to tell me the purpose of my pilgrimage? It shouldn't just be for the sake of trade between the two countries, right? ”
"Your Highness Mingjian! I also hope that His Royal Highness will relax the port restrictions on our Turkic business travel, allow our business travel to enter and leave freely in and out of the Great Sui, and at the same time maintain reciprocal preferential tariffs to encourage the development of commerce and trade between the two countries. ”
"Huh! Well, there is no objection to the tax incentives, but the opening of urban ports is still to be discussed. At present, the only cities allowed by this king to be opened are Chang'an, the capital city, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, which are enough to absorb the goods transported by your merchants to our dynasty. In order to encourage the merchants of this dynasty to do business in your country, the king hopes that your country will open at least ten county capitals and ensure the safety of business travelers and goods. ”
"Your Highness, my Turkic country wants to allow the opening of Gaochang, Shanshan, Qiuzi, Tiele, Yanqi, Jimo, Khotan, Shule, Gaoche and other 9 counties for the Great Sui business travel to and from business, my Turkic land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many Gobi and deserts in the country, even if other small counties such as Wusun, Loulan, Ronglu, Jingjue and other small counties are opened, your country business travel will not be able to go. I heard that there are many good things that can be exchanged in Luzhou, such as white hemp paper, mellow five-grain spring wine, high-quality ironware, and anthracite coal used for night burning in the desert, etc., which are urgently needed by our country, and our country is willing to exchange them with gold on an equal footing. ”
"Huh! Okay, the king of the open port city will depend on you, only one point of this king has said first, the exchange of iron is limited to civilian products, such as living and production tools, etc., and military iron products such as swords are not allowed to be involved, understand? In the same way, our merchant travelers can only exchange civilian goods with you. ”
"Your Highness, this envoy has no objection to this." Elifa smiled and saluted again.
"Good! The signing of the specific credentials was handed over to Lu Zhaolin, a staff member of the king. ”
"Yes, my lord." Lu Zhaolin, who was involved in the negotiations, hurriedly agreed.
"Your Majesty, is there anything else that the envoy has to do?" Seeing that the business negotiations were extremely smooth, especially the opening of Luzhou, Eli was secretly happy in his heart, and half of the mission was completed, but the remaining half was a little prickly, so he hurriedly proposed it by the way while the young prince was happy.
"Huh! What else is going on with Ambassador Elifa? Do you have to sign a non-aggression ordinance with this king? Yang Er had already seen the hint of embarrassment in the Turkic people's eyes, and couldn't help but ask jokingly.
"Definitely! This envoy asks His Royal Highness to withdraw the defenders of Yumen Pass at the junction of the two countries, and the garrison of Yumen Pass seriously affects the security of our Western Turkic border pass, in order to avoid friction between the border armies of the two countries, please order the demolition of Yumen Pass, which is also the intention of the Great Khan of our country. Elifa said as he stroked his chest and bowed.
"Huh! A year ago, this king had a poem praising this jade gate pass and praising the soldiers guarding the pass. And this pass is on the land of our dynasty, whether to send troops to garrison it is a matter of this dynasty, how can you dismantle the border and withdraw the army if it affects the security of your border pass? The king did not allow it, and Hugh had to say more. Yang Er sneered and sternly refused.
"This ---" Elifa looked disappointed, but he couldn't say more, so he bowed and sat down, not talking.
"Okay, please Lord Lu send a Turkic envoy for this king, and don't slack off if you settle it well."
"Yes, my lord. Your envoy, please ---" Lu Zhaolin got up and answered, stretched out his hand and asked Eli. Elifa had no choice but to get up and salute and go with Lu Zhaolin. There were only a few short emissaries left in the hall with strange hair.
"Your Royal Highness, Jing Zhangcheng, the head of the Sui envoy sent to the Lower Wa Kingdom, was ordered by the Emperor Tuigu of our country to send 200 Sui envoys to study in the Heavenly Empire. This lord wishes His Highness the throne as soon as possible! At the foot of the stairs lay reverently on the stomach three envoys of the Eastern Ying Kingdom who were dressed strangely ugly and wore ponytails on their heads.
"Let's die! Sit down and talk well. Yang Er was extremely disgusted with these treacherous and treacherous people who were humble on the surface and stabbed behind their backs, and there was no politeness to the Turkic envoys in his words. It's just that this kind of slightly disdainful words didn't show the slightest displeasure from the three Japanese people under the ranks, but they all smiled on their faces. Yang Er thought to himself that this ancient Japanese was the same cheap, the same pervert as the later generations, and he only felt comfortable by beating him with a leather whip.
"Didn't people from your country already come to our country to trade and study Confucianism and etiquette, and learn techniques such as textiles, farming, and pottery? Is there anything you can't ask for? ”
"Your Royal Highness, the Wa Kingdom and the Celestial Empire are a country with a strip of water, and the people of our Wa Kingdom are very willing to learn everything about the Celestial Empire, and they are also very envious of the life of the people of the Celestial Empire. I sent 200 members of the Sui Mission, and I am also willing to stay in the Celestial Empire for a long time to study various skills and etiquette. However, although our country is small, it has not yet been unified, and there are many rebels in the country who do not serve His Majesty the Emperor, and I believe that the ancient Emperor wants to unify the islands and establish a country like the Celestial Empire, so the Sui delegation sent to the Celestial Empire to study this time wants to learn from the Celestial Empire the methods of urban construction, house construction, weapons, armor, crossbow arrows, horizontal knives, firearms, gunpowder, sea ships, etc., as well as the techniques of smelting fine iron, papermaking, printing, salt, and brewing, etc., and I hope that the Celestial Empire will not hesitate to give teachings, and this lord has thanked His Highness on behalf of my Emperor. After that, the leader of the Sui envoy sent by the Wa State named Jing Zhangcheng prostrate on the ground again, pleading sincerely.
