"Mr. Lu, I went to Jinyang but said that Tang Gong Li Yuan belonged to this king, and Mr. Lu's tongue is comparable to this king's 300,000 army! It's just a bit harder. ”
"My lord, everything the lower officials do is what the ministers should do, not to mention the hardship, if it is hard, it belongs to the soldiers who are fighting fiercely with the Turkic Tatars on the front line." Lu Zhaolin responded modestly.
"Hmmm! Well said. This king originally wanted to wait for the destruction of Nanchen and then look for an opportunity to solve the stubborn disease of the northern Turks once and for all, but unexpectedly, the Turkic Sha Bo Luo Khan took advantage of the civil strife in my dynasty to send troops to invade the south, since the Jinyang problem has been solved, that is, the civil strife has been settled, this king wants to take advantage of this to fight with the Turks, sweep away the northern desert in one fell swoop, and solve this trouble, I don't know what Si Chang and Mr. Lu think? ”
"My lord, the lower officials think that it is not time to completely solve the Turks, and this time they only need to repel the invading enemy." Lu Zhaolin got up and said.
"Oh?" Yang Er was a little surprised when he heard Lu Zhaolin's words, and casually picked up the teacup on the table, blew the floating tea, and did not interrupt Lu Zhaolin.
Lu Zhaolin saw that Yang Er did not speak, so he continued to state: "My lord, since the rebellion of the kings of the Central Plains, our army has gone through the Great War of the Central Plains, and encountered the rebellion of the princelings of the imperial court usurping the throne, and then clashed with Jinyang. Second, when the army is suspended to raise agriculture, production is encouraged, and the areas that have suffered from military disasters can resume cultivation and harvest autumn grain as soon as possible, which requires a relatively peaceful environment; Third, if a large number of troops are used against the Turks, it will inevitably lead to the invasion of our Central Plains states by the south and the north, so that the people of the Central Plains will fall into war again, which is not conducive to the recovery of the Central Plains. Therefore, the lower officials thought that this time they only needed to fight a counterattack against the Turks, so that their troops would not dare to attack in the short term. ”
Yang Er listened to Lu Zhaolin's reasoning, and couldn't help but nodded, thinking, it seems that he is still a little anxious. If the Northern Turks are compared with the military strength of the Southern Chen State in the south, they should still destroy the relatively weak Southern Chen first before attacking the Turks, so that they have no worries, what Lu Zhaolin said is reasonable!
"My lord, the lower officials agree with Lord Lu's opinion, I, Jinyang, have been fighting against the Turks all the year round, and I know that the Turkic cavalry is strong, and it is not easy to repel them, and it is not realistic to destroy them in one fell swoop; Moreover, the Turkic region is vast, and if there is no full preparation to go deep into the desert to kill the Turks, it is extremely difficult to search for their whereabouts, and it is extremely difficult to exterminate them. Chai Shao got up and admonished.
"Master, what do the people think even if they destroy the Turkic external troubles? The Turks have been wiped out, and only wolves will be left in the vast desert steppe, and who will provide cattle, sheep and horses for the people of the Central Plains? ”
"Huh! The people of the world are right, what is the use of the Turks without the king? It seems that the treatment of foreign races in the north cannot only use military means, when the comprehensive consideration is, at least after the Turkic people are gone, it is necessary to organize immigrants from the interior of the Central Plains to develop the steppe desert, which requires a long time of preparation. Well! It seems that the time is not ripe for the extermination of the Turks, and the matter is abandoned. The truth of Xiao Li Shimin's sentence is actually very simple, and it is also the most down-to-earth reason, Yang Er immediately thought of the large-scale implementation of the "Three Great Great Development" policies in the northwest, north and northeast of the country in later generations, but the most important premise for the implementation of this policy is a large number of immigrants from the interior, and now the most lacking thing in the Great Sui Dynasty is the population. Rather than taking the desert for yourself now and abandoning it, sooner or later there will be a rise of alien races. It's better to let it go first, take down Nanchen first, and win the large population of Nanchen is the key. Of course, these theories of statecraft and development are too avant-garde to be told to the people of this era, so they can only be done step by step and shown to the people of this era.
Just when Yang Er was immersed in the thoughts of the past and the present in his mind, Gao Dehong, the clerk who was in charge of his daily affairs arrangement, came to Yang Er's side and saluted and said: "Lord, it's time to meet the guests of Tuyuhun, and Lord He Chong, the commander of the Military Intelligence Department, is already waiting outside. ”
"Okay, announce him in." As soon as Yang Eryi heard that He Chong was coming, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, his immigration policy was implemented in Tuyuhun a year ago, and he could just ask about the development, which is a policy that can also be implemented in the northern desert in the future.
"Lord, I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss the officials very much! Lord. He Chong shouted deeply when he entered the door, which moved everyone in the room.
He Chongzi met him, but he was one of the first batch of middle-aged students who were originally a little downcast after opening the "Recruitment Hall" in Luzhou. Later, Yang Er personally recommended Liu Wenjing of the Military Intelligence Department as an official, and finally Yang Er personally selected and sent to the most dangerous enemy country at that time, Tuyuhun Ya City, as a spy, and appointed the Military Intelligence Department to be stationed in Tuyuhun Qianhu, because of the fruitful work, not only lurked in the Tuyuhun Zuoxian King Sakun Mansion as the chief military adviser, secretly helped the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Sui to achieve a great victory over Tuyuhun, and finally assisted and persuaded the new Tuyuhun to surrender to the Great Sui in Sakun, making the Tuyuhun State a state of the Great Sui. He Chong was also promoted to the post of thrifty envoy of the Military Intelligence Department for his merits, and was directly responsible for the national transformation and development of Tuyuhun and the work of ethnic integration. After a year's efforts, more than 600,000 Han immigrants have moved to Tuyuhun from Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Hongnong, and Han people account for more than half of the total population of Tuyuhun.
Yang Er hurriedly got up and stepped forward, holding this confidant of his own with both hands, and his eyes also became moist.
"Mr. Chaojian, I haven't seen him in the past two years, Mr. is much older, sit down and talk."
"Alas! The lord doesn't know that Tuyuhun is located on the plateau, the sunshine is strong, the wind and sand are not in the Central Plains, how can it not grow old over the years? Fortunately, at present, the Tuyuhun land is developing well, and the grain produced can not only be self-sufficient, but also help the garrison of the Hexi Corridor, and reduce the pain of transporting grain from Guanzhong to Hexi. He acted as everyone chattered.
"Mr. Chaomi, how are the people who moved from my Great Sui to the past doing? Can you still adapt to the water and soil climate? Yang Er asked about the question he was most concerned about.
"Huh! Lord! I don't dare to say whether it is good or bad, but this immigrant is the most clever way to fill in Tuyuhun. These Han people entered Tuyuhun not only with them with their sophisticated farming techniques, but also with their Han way of life, which profoundly changed the lives of the local Tibetan and Qiang peoples, and now the nomads there are more and more like my Han people. And because of the scarcity of local men, my Han men intermarried with them, and most of them have given birth to mixed-race children, Tuyuhun originally had no writing, these children have accepted my Han culture since childhood, speak my Han language, and wear my Han clothes, so that the ethnic groups are extremely harmonious, even if some people with different intentions in the Tuyuhun high-level want to rebel, it is impossible. He Chong said with a smile, Le's goatee trembled.
"He Jian, in addition to the grain that Tuyuhun can be self-sufficient, does Tuyuhun have other products? Self-sufficient? Lu Zhaolin is now focusing on the people's livelihood and economy, so he interjected and asked this related question.
"Huh! Lord Lu, Tuyuhun has not moved troops since he joined our dynasty, because all kinds of products can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to plunder outside. There is a West Sea Lake in the Tuyuhun country, the lake is vast and salty, Luzhou Jiechi Salt Farm has already opened several large salt farms there, now the output of refined salt in the West Sea of Tuyuhun is no less than that of Luzhou, and the salt produced can also be exported to the Western Turkic vassal states, party items and Tubo domains, in exchange for gold, silver, cattle and sheep, etc.; The Tuyuhun Plateau is rich in iron ore, copper ore, miscanthus salt, etc., and is now mostly developed; Recently, several high-yield gold mines have been discovered around the West Sea and are also being developed, which is a cornucopia! The lord's policy of relocation and assimilation has been implemented for less than two years, but Tuyuhun has been firmly held in his hands and can no longer be divided. ”
"Okay~, in the future, if there is a stronghold, whether it is Turkic or Southern Baiyue, whether it is Khitan or Silla, you can follow the assimilation policy of Tuyuhun's relocation, and one can naturalize the barbarian land; second, it can develop local resources; The third can protect the territory forever. Mr. Chaojian has made a great contribution to my Great Sui, and this king will reward you heavily. Yang Er was excited when he heard He Chong's words, this new policy implemented by Tuyuhun was just an attempt by himself, and he didn't want to have such a good effect, which made Yang Er more confident in his future plans to expand his territory.
"Huh! The lord, what the lower officials do is within their own bounds, and they just act according to the will of the lord, not to mention any merits, and it is the best reward for the lower officials to be reused and trusted by the lord."
"Nope! Today is different from the past, this king has been thinking about reforming the rule of our court, and the original system of three provinces and six ministries can no longer adapt to the development of our dynasty in the future. After returning to Beijing, the king prepared to set up the Royal Government Council, which was subordinate to six ministries, among which the first minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nationalities was you Du Chong, who would arrange ethnic relations with other countries and annexation to the king. The rest of the ministries will be decided after returning to Beijing. ”
As soon as Yang Er's words came out, everyone was shocked on the spot.
Lu Zhaolin's eyes were full of longing, and he wanted to ask carefully, but it was not easy to speak, and if he spoke, he would be suspected of recommending himself, which was not good. Now it seems that among the very few people who are at the top of the Jin Dynasty's power, only He Chong has determined his future status and has become one of the foreign ministers of the six ministers. The other five phases are undecided, which makes Lu Zhaolin, who is also highly meritorious, not have a reverie and be fascinated.
"The lower officials thank the lord for his trust, and he will do his best to share the worries of the lord." He Chong also never expected that he could fly into the sky in one step and become the first foreign minister, and the most excited thing was that he became a member of the lord's henchmen group, and this kind of trust cannot be exchanged for money.
"Good! After going back, do a good job of handing over the affairs at hand, and don't make Tugu messy. ”
"Although the lord can rest assured, with my brother He Yong here, the sky of Tuyuhun cannot change."
Yang Er listened to it, and couldn't help nodding, He Yong, Yang Er also understood.
In the room, Chai Shao has been listening, he can't advise on this Tuyuhun state affairs, and he was stunned when he heard that He Chong was implementing the new policy of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, in Tuyuhun, and the results were remarkable. In his eyes, these aliens were either exterminated or made into slaves. How did you think that there was another path of peaceful conquest that would bring the nations together? The Jinyang to which he belonged treated the Turkic Tartars in addition to killing and killing, killing and killing so that the national contradictions were accumulating more and more, and the border troubles were endless.
"Alas~" On the way back to the pavilion with Li Shimin, Chai Shao couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Is there something unpleasant about my brother-in-law? Why do you always sigh? Li Shimin shook Chai Shao's hand and asked innocently.
"For a hundred years of border troubles, Han and Hu killed each other, and none of my Jinyang officials had a good solution to it, and they were all inferior to the King of Jin. I think that Tuyuhun in the west has always been no less than the great enemy of the Turks, but it became the permanent land of the Great Sui in less than two years under the rule of the King of Jin. The brother-in-law prides himself on being a great ruler, but he is far inferior to King Jin! Shimin, in the future, you must know what the Lord taught you when you come back, and your brother-in-law will not make you anything to eat. ”
"Brother-in-law! Isn't it true that Shimin will teach you at night after learning during the day? It's better for my brother-in-law to worship my cousin as a teacher, and you and I will be classmates. ”
"Go! Hugh is going to talk nonsense. Brother-in-law, I ---, if that's the case, where do you let your brother-in-law's face go? That's it, no selfishness. ”
"Hey, hey, hey~ Okay~ Okay~ The people of the world are a little hungry." Li Shimin's little face shook Chai Shao's hand with a hint of playfulness and begged.
"Okay~ This is when you go to the front restaurant, you are full, and you will go back." Chai Shao reported Xiao Li Shimin up and said.
At this time, Dingxiang City had been besieged by 30,000 horses from the front of the Turks for 3 days. The Yanqiu Heights in the east of the city were also trapped on the high ground by the 100,000 Turkic rear troops who arrived later, and the two sides held each other for no less than one day. This state of affairs worried Dalit, who was a military advisor, and as a Turkic cavalry, he was most taboo about attacking fortified cities. But Li Jing, the chief general of the defenders in Dingxiang City, no matter how he scolded and provoked, he couldn't defend it. The commander of the Tiger Division, Takhan, who attacked the Yanqiu Heights, also fell into a disadvantageous situation of attacking, and for a while, the momentum of the two Turkic armies suddenly decreased, and they lost their ground.
"Military advisor, the infighting between Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and Li Yuan actually stopped, not only did the two sides make peace, but Li Yuan directly attached himself to the king of Jin, seeing that the army of the king of Jin is about to go north for reinforcements, what should our army do?" The Eagle Division's commander, Prince Jieli, rushed into Dalit's tent and shouted.
"Huh? Is this serious? Dalit was already a little uneasy, and was going around the tent thinking hard about what to do, when he heard news that was even more unfavorable to him, so he asked in a panic.
"This is the news that a Tang soldier captured by Ben Shuai's subordinates and confessed after torture, it should be true."
"No wonder Li Jing decided that the Tang army would not retreat, this was originally unexpected, but the Tang and Jin armies suddenly made peace, who said that the Han people would only fight among themselves?" Dalit muttered to himself.
"Military division, it seems that even if our army breaks through this Dingxiang City, it will be useless, and if we continue to invade the south, we will encounter the Jin army. Ben Shuai and the Tiger Division, a total of 130,000 horses, how can they be able to defeat the Jin army of hundreds of thousands, it is better to retreat early. Prince Jieli said what he thought.
"Your Highness is reasonable, this Dingxiang City is like chicken ribs, don't do it. You can inform General Takhan, the commander of the Tiger Division, to withdraw his troops and return to the tooth tent tomorrow. Seeing that the fighter was no longer there, Dalit agreed to Jieli's strategy of retreating. It is best for this retreat to come out of Jieli's mouth, and when he sees Sha Bo Luo Khan, he can shirk his responsibility.
"Report ~ Lord Wang, military advisor, all the baggage of our army's rear team has been robbed by the enemy, and the rear road of our army has been cut off by the enemy." Suddenly, a centurion ran into the tent and came to report urgently.
