It is said that Yang Guang is lustful, but in ancient times when there were no effective contraceptive means, he only had a few sons in his life, and he respected Queen Xiao all his life.

It is said that Yang Guang is tyrannical, but it is he who dares to risk the world's great inaction and pioneered the imperial examination system, which has promoted the children of the poor family who have no family background to the status of being able to obtain official positions together with the children of the nobility.

No one is perfect, and Yang Guang naturally has his shortcomings. His disadvantage is that he is too eager for quick success, and no matter what he does, he must see results in a short time. Maybe he also knew that the ethereal way of immortality was not advisable, and the only thing he wanted to do was to make as many merits as possible in his limited life for future generations to admire.

It's just a pity that with the passage of time, no history can be completely restored, and what people can do is to rely on the various information at hand to make infinite reasoning that approaches the original history.

The two of them had their own thoughts, so while chatting, they walked into Dingxiang County. This Dingxiang County is not very big, compared to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places in the mainland, it is not worth mentioning at all. But on this side, the county seat of Dingxiang County is still a big city with deep cities and strong pools. But even so, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the two of them to walk from the city gate to the county capital.

The two of them sat down in the county government, and their own servants brought delicious tea and food to cool off the heat. Then all the people in the house were retreated outside the house by Yang Zhengdao, so he said to the Chu Luo Khan in front of him:

"Khan, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I don't believe in Khan, you will have nothing to ask for to support me to gain a foothold in this Dingxiang County. Now that you are sending troops and spending so much effort on the troops, you must be planning more than just what you said before, but simply to obtain the necessities of life for the Turks, right? Since we want to cooperate with each other now, my suggestion is that we bring everything to the table openly and honestly, and only with sincerity can our cooperation last for a long time, isn't it? ”

After listening to what Yang Zhengdao said, Chu Luo Khan immediately laughed, and then said to Yang Zhengdao: "Haha, Mr. Yang is worthy of being a person who has suffered in the people's wandering, and when the emperor's power is close at hand, he can still maintain this calm, and Chu Luo admires it very much."

Since Mr. Yang wants us to have something to talk about, then Luo will talk to Mr. Yang about it. First, it is true that some essential daily necessities of the Turks can only be purchased from the Central Plains, so the sooner the Central Plains settle down, the more it will directly affect the lives of our Turks.

Second, the thief of the Western Regions in the north, Tuoba Shishu, took advantage of my father's preference for him. During his reign, he won the hearts of the people, and after the death of my father, he directly pulled the Turks who were bewitched by him to split from the Turks, occupy the royal court, and compete for the throne of Khan.

Fortunately, there are still a few loyal subordinates of my father who have always supported me, otherwise, it would not be Chuluo Khan and me standing in front of you now, but Tuoba Shishu. But now the two of us seem to be evenly matched, but it is because the people led by Tuoba Shishu are not the elite tribes among our Turks, they are all some wall grass, but they are more numerous.

The brothers on my side are the elite divisions of the original Turkic tribes, and I wonder if Mr. Yang has heard that there is a most elite tiger division in our Turks. Although this formation no longer existed after the Turkic split, the tribe of the most elite Tiger Division is now on my side.

But I have to guard against a surprise attack from you Han people from the south, so naturally the small number of troops will have to be divided into two ways. Therefore, in the front, I fought to a tie with those wastes who only occupied the numerical advantage, and the reason why I found you, Mr. Yang, was also to hope that the army used to defend the south could be transferred back to the north and break the current stalemate.

After all, if this stalemate continues, no matter what changes there will be, no one can say. According to Tuoba Shishu's ambitions, once he gets the position of Turkic Khan, then the next thing to do is to attack and plunder the city everywhere. The Central Plains, which is in civil strife, is undoubtedly his best target. Therefore, our cooperation with Mr. Yang is not only to help me deal with Luo, but also to help you Han people themselves. ”

Yang Zhengdao nodded after listening, and then said to Chu Luo Khan: "Tuoba Shishu, I have indeed heard of it. His father should have been a Hu man who fled from a small country in the Western Regions, called Shi Shu Hu Xi. In order to get the help of the Tuoba family, a Xianbei person who has been sinicized, Shi Shu Hu Xi gave his son to the Tuoba family as an adopted son, so he changed his name to Tuoba Shi Shu, and it can be regarded as retaining his family's surname.

Later, my uncle sent men to the horse market to trap and kill Shi Shu Huxi, who had come to trade, because if Shi Shu Huxi was not killed, then the next major invasion of the Turks would make the Great Sui pay a heavy price. ”

But such a move made Yang Guang himself trapped in Yanmen County and almost lost his life. This cost is greater than the Sui Dynasty's all-out resistance to the Turkic invasion, which is greater? Yang Zhengdao was halfway through speaking, when Chu Luo Khan suddenly spoke.

"My uncle, he is the emperor. Naturally, the consideration is not personal safety, but the people of the world. Even though he launched three wars against Goguryeo, he lost money and labor, displaced the people, and ruined his family. However, compared to letting the Turks enter the interior to plunder, he still felt that it was more cost-effective to use his body as a bait to lure the Turkic soldiers to surround Yanmen and not enter other places to plunder.

Sure enough, after Shi Shu Huxi was killed. Your father took advantage of my uncle's visit to Yanmen County to inspect and led his troops to invade the south and besiege Yanmen County. He was routed by the Great Sui army that came from King Qin and retreated to the grassland in a hurry. It's been almost a decade now. Did the Turks ever have the courage to invade south?

What's more, I heard that the burning of the company camp staged at that time was precisely the handwriting of Li Wenyuan. ”

Yang Zhengdao listened to what Luo Khan said, and secretly alluded to his uncle's imprudent and reckless behavior. So he couldn't help but feel an evil fire in his heart, and immediately said the words of a squeeze directly to the Chuluo Khan in front of him.

After hearing this, Chu Luo Khan also felt a little funny: "It is inevitable that this kind of armed conflict will occur between our Turks and Han Chinese. After all, we eat meat on horseback, and you eat rice on farms. On this point alone, the contradictions between us are irreconcilable. ”
