After listening to what Yang Zhengdao said, Chu Luo Khan pointed to Yang Zhengdao in the direction of the west even pointedly, and then said: "But after all, there are smart people in this world, and although ignorant people account for the majority, they are not all. I heard that Li Wenyuan, who was far away in the Western Regions, after welcoming your uncle's son to the Western Regions, respected him as the emperor and posthumously honored your uncle Yang Guang as Emperor Wu.

From this point of view, Li Wenyuan still has a very good impression of your uncle. Li Yuan of Chang'an, when he was down, was loyal and obedient when His Royal Highness your uncle was a minister. But after your uncle drove the crane to the west, he also rose up and established himself as the emperor, and even called your uncle Emperor Yang of Sui.

I once inquired with those civil officials who fled to our Turks, and among you there was a book called "The Law", which once mentioned: Good internal and far-reaching courtesy, go to courtesy and far-reaching people, go against the sky and abuse the people and say Yang, good and great government is said to be Yang, unkind and unrighteous is said to be Yang, and leaving the country of virtue and desolation is said to be Yang. Therefore, this one word is enough to see that all the various slanderous rumors about your uncle in the world are all from Li Yuan's hands.

Therefore, this person is separated from his belly and does not know what to do. Even those civil officials who fled to our Turks must be counted together, and I do not see the arrogance of the literati in them at all, only the tendency of them to live and show their inflammatory attachment. So these people, Mr. Yang, you can use them, but don't trust them. ”

Chu Luo Khan naturally hopes that Yang Zhengdao can withstand the military pressure from the Central Plains for himself in Dingxiang County, but he doesn't want Yang Zhengdao and his subordinates to work together to develop, in that case, Chu Luo Khan will really make a wedding dress for others, and in the end, the threat from the Central Plains, if it is not the strong man who won out of those warlords who fought in the melee, but Yang Zhengdao who was supported by himself, then it would be very ridiculous. Therefore, even if those civil officials really showed all kinds of loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, the Luo Khan had to do everything they could, chase after the wind and even make up some unfavorable words, not to mention that these people had really done this.

The virtuous civil officials were martyred as early as when Chang'an City was breached. Except for the few people who were lucky and happened to be on official business outside when Chang'an City was broken, all of them were people who tried their best to escape from Chang'an City. The reason why they came to the Turks was purely because the major forces in the entire Central Plains were now chasing and killing the old officials of the Sui Dynasty, so the world was so big that there was no place for them to live for a while, so they had to leave the country, go to the outside of the Saiwai, and defect to the Chuluo Khan, who was originally an enemy.

After listening to the words of Chu Luo Khan, Yang Zhengdao nodded, and then said to Chu Luo Khan: "Thank you Khan for reminding you, these things must be kept in mind. It's just that this is not the place to speak, why don't we go to the county capital in this county town and tell the details, what do you think, Khan? ”

Hearing Yang Zhengdao say this, Chu Luo Khan was naturally overjoyed, he hurried all the way, has not been stained with water and rice, and he also felt a little sleepy in this matter, so he followed Yang Zhengdao to the county capital of Dingxiang County from a good stream.

On the way to the county capital, Yang Zhengdao also thought a lot in his heart. He is an authentic Han Chinese, so he naturally knows how degrading the Yang character of Emperor Yang of Sui is. A mere Yang character highlights Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, mobilizing the people to dig the Grand Canal, the west to Tuguhun, and the northern expedition to the Turks, which brought about the loss of labor and money, and the destruction of families.

But no one thought deeply about it, if Yang Guang didn't launch these wars against Goguryeo, then the Sui Dynasty would have completely become the puppet emperors of the Guanlong aristocracy and these ethnic minorities who had been sinicized in less than three generations. At that time, the people of his Yang family became a fat sheep to be slaughtered. As long as the Guanlong nobles may be dissatisfied at any time, what will follow is the purge of the Yang family, killing all those who angered them, whether it is a prince or a nobleman, that is not what Yang Guang, who is determined to be the first emperor of the ages, wants.

No one thought that it was with the opening of the Grand Canal that the central government's control over the remote frontier of Jiangnan was strengthened to the extreme. As a result, it originally took several months to reach Jiangnan by bypassing the Yangtze River by taking the official road, and now it only takes a few months to reach it smoothly by waterway. Moreover, in a rich place like Jiangnan, grain can even be grown twice a year, and a large amount of grain produced every year can also be transported to Jingshi to stabilize the price of rice in Jingshi and northern cities.

Yang Guangxi's conquest of Tuguhun officially extended the territory of the Great Sui to the Western Regions, and made the Silk Road, which might have been blocked by wars between those small countries in the Western Regions, unimpeded. Moreover, by incorporating Tuyuhun into its own territory, the Hetao region, an important grain-producing town in the north, was completely turned into a hinterland, without worrying about the raids of ethnic minorities from the northwest.

As for the northern expedition to the Turks, it was simpler. Turks have always been good at forgetting, but also good at learning. They know what the difference is between them and the Han Chinese, and they are very willing to use various means to narrow the gap. Whenever there was a war in the Central Plains, the Han people who fled from the Central Plains brought them farming skills, and the Han craftsmen mixed in brought them advanced production technology.

Therefore, once there is a war in the Central Plains, the cultural gap between the Turks and the Han people will be greatly shortened. Unless all the Turkic people are killed, the progress of this culture cannot be stopped or erased in any way. Yang Guang was naturally well aware of this, so he chose another way to limit the threat of the Turks to the Central Plains Dynasty. That is, to destroy the production capacity of the Turks through war, to consume the war potential of the Turks, and to control the population of the Turks to a level that could not pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's just a pity that under the conclusion of the coffin, Yang Guang's life has been nailed to the name of a tyrant, and he can no longer be washed away no matter what. When Li Wenyuan was in school, he also believed that Yang Guang was an out-and-out tyrant as written in the textbook. At that time, the history also thought so, but as more and more cultural relics were unearthed about Yang Guang, Yang Guang, which was close to the real Yang Guang, was gradually disclosed in front of people.
