Yang Zhengdao's small court sent Zhang Changxun, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the Turkic envoy Zhi Lost Sili to Chang'an, and Yang Chong met with Zhang Changxun alone. Zhang Changxun introduced the situation in Dingxiangcheng, and at the insistence of the Turks, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Gao Kaidao all arrived at that small court. At present, Yang Shanjing and Liang Shi are all left and right servants, Wang Xuba is Nayan, Gao Kaidao is Zhongshu Ling, Liu Wuzhou is Taiwei, Zhang Changxun, Yuan Junzhang, Gao Manzheng, Wang Wensu, Guo Zisheng, and Lu Jilan are Shangshu.

Zhang Changxun directly explained the intention, Princess Yicheng hoped to give them Tongwan City; Yang Chong understood as soon as he heard it, Jieli Khan was going to sing a big show, or was it the same as another time and space, the Turks used Liang Shidu and other warlords to provoke friction, and in the melee, the Turkic army took the opportunity to sneak attack Chang'an. The same script, different actors, and they had no choice but to be chosen by the Turks as the first supporting role.

Yang Chong pretended to think and said: "Tongwan City is a Hetao barrier, and it cannot be handed over to the Turks; To you, in fact, is no different from to the Turks. Tell Yang Shanjing that the Turks are insatiable, this is the last time, and I have three other conditions. First, the county guard of Tongwancheng must be Liang Luoren, which cannot be replaced for five years; Second, I need 10,000 head of cattle and sheep as compensation; Third, allow the people to leave freely, and hand over after three months. ”

Zhang Changxun was very strange, why did Yang Chong agree? Shouldn't Yang Shanjing be reprimanded? However, Yang Chong agreed, Zhang Changxun didn't want to be entangled in the details, there was no problem with a few days of late handover, and it would take time to raise cattle and sheep.

Yang Chong did not lose his thinking power on the grounds of going out hunting, and all Turkic affairs were handed over to the Ministry of Rites; In fact, Yang Chong summoned Jiang Duo, Yuan Wuqian and others to a meeting in the palace of Lishan, and asked them to secretly study the route and time of the Turkic attack on Chang'an from Tongwancheng. Yang Chong believed that Jieli Khan could levy 100,000 to 200,000 Turkic troops, and this battle was a key battle for the survival of the Central Plains.

Zhuge Quan arrived in a few days, and Zhuge Quan applauded Yang Chong's whimsical thinking, the Turkic purpose is really like this, it must be when Li Shimin goes south again. Zhuge Quan believed that in order to keep secrets, it was normal to secretly transfer troops from Longyou Hexi, cede Tongwancheng, and increase the defense of Yanchuan County and other places; As for the Turkic route south, it was necessary to avoid the county castles. Shangxian can be bypassed, Xiao Pass will not touch, and the line of the Turks is likely to force Anding County and Pingliang County first, and then just in front of Xiao Pass, eastward through Honghua and directly to Wugong.

Xiao Guan and Wugong are the locations of the decisive battle with the Turks, and Yuan Wuji asked Zhuge Quan: "Since you know the road to the south, why not fortify in Pingliang?" ”

Zhuge Quan pointed to Xiao Guan and said: "In the four counties of Pingliang, only Xiao Pass can play a blocking role, in other areas, it is difficult to arrange fixed infantry positions, the number of our cavalry is still less than that of the Turks, and some battles have to be fought by infantry." Wugong is located in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the Turks kill out suddenly, but Wugong has the Wei River, the Qishui River, the Moyu River, and the Xiang River, which is helpful for the defense of our infantry army. ”

Jiang Duo and the others understood what Zhuge Quan meant, how can there be a war, how can there be a thing that is nine out of ten, the terrain of martial arts can allow the infantry army to have a level of defense, even if it is not resisted at the beginning, the defense line behind can continue to work. Yang Chong decided to set up a secret front-line command center, with Zhuge Quan and Jiang Duo in charge, and used the delay of three to six months to fortify Xiaoguan and Wugong, prepare 50,000 troops in Longyou and Hexi, and then fight Wugong at the same time as the three guards in Chang'an.

As soon as the Lishan meeting ended, Zhuge Quan returned to Tianshui, Yang Chong also went to Kunming Town lightly, the first phase of the house has been built, Yang Chong's cement formula has worked greatly, whether it is lime and volcanic ash, or limestone and clay kilns have been successful, greatly speeding up the process of work. However, the production and sales of the cement workshop are all in the science and technology city, and the government and businessmen cannot interfere at all, and they are all so anxious that their eyes are red.

When Yuan Tiangang saw Yang Chong, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he talked about the importance of cement for a long time; Yang Chong shook his head and said: "It can't be promoted on a large scale yet, and when the Ministry of Industry verifies that the hardness of cement can build a city wall, I will expand the scale of the cement workshop and build an urn city for the production of cement on the edge of the science and technology city to supply all parts of the country." ”

Yuan Tiangang knew about Yang Chong's gold mining in Tongguan, and had to admit that Yang Chong had a good plan, and the cement process and the location of the gold mine were probably prepared a long time ago, just these two workshops were enough for Yang Chong to squander for a lifetime. Yuan Tiangang asked, "What if someone wants to buy cement?" ”

Yang Chong was ready to use cement for the construction of fortifications in martial arts, and said without hesitation: "I have already said hello, except for the Ministry of Industry and Kunming Town, other places will not be sold." ”

Tianyu is the lord of the Science and Technology City, and when he saw Yang Chong, he complained about the lack of people, and after the people of Chang'an lived a stable life, they wanted to earn much shorter money, and there were fewer and fewer people who worked in the workshop for a long time. Yang Chong thought for a while and said: "Looking for Li Jijun and Gaobei dignitaries, their clansmen can't farm the land, and they can always go to work in the workshop." In addition, some people can also be selected in the Dunhuang reclamation camp. ”

Tianwu smiled and said: "Li Jijun wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to resign and come to Chang'an to do business." ”

"Old slippery head." Yang Chong scolded, Li Jijun has the position of a loose official, and he wants to use this reason to transfer from Gaochang to Chang'an, Yang Chong instructed Tianyu to reply: "Let him bring more people." The official position is the mayor of Kunming Town, which is the same as his original official character. ”

Yang Chong stayed in Kunming Town for ten days, and even took Yuan Xiren and Xiao Yang Xin over for vacation. Now that Yang Chong has given the New Year's coin, the number of crushing trade has surged, making the Turks feel the truth of their material difficulties; However, consumption habits have been formed, and the Turkic aristocracy has followed the fashion of Chang'an all the way, and they insist on losing their thinking and looking for Yang Chong to ask for a solution.

Yang Chong knows that this is the effect of the trade war, Qinghai Western Regions is in hand, Yang Chong is not short of cattle and horses, camels, and furs, but the Turks lack daily necessities and luxury goods, and the price is one and the other, and it is possible to exchange two bottles of wine for a horse in the end. But Yang Chong said something else, and asked Zhi Zhi's lack of thinking: "Isn't this bad?" In the long run, the cattle and sheep will be wild, and when you and I are white-headed, there will be no war on either side. ”
