Hun Chi'e's smile suddenly froze, the head landscape of Gaochang County was still there, it was a shame on the heads of the Turks and Tiele, Yang Shanjing said casually: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, my Khan wants to know the plan of General Manager Yang, if it is beneficial to both sides, it is also possible to demarcate the territory, we are the same as the Great Sui, I hope that the friendship between the two sides will last forever." ”

Kou Jiuhui nodded secretly, there was a problem with the trade between the Turks and the Great Sui, and Shibi Khan was likely to agree to Yang Chong's request, so Kou Jiuhui took the two to the governor's mansion to see Yang Chong, Hun Chihui was very surprised, a person who made the Turks feel at ease was so young. Yang Chong welcomed the two and said, "Brother Shanjing is here, and I have nothing to say." We are preparing to set up crushing farms in Longle City in Dunhuang and Juyan City in Zhangye to promote trade with the Turks, and promise not to participate in disputes between the center and the Turks. ”

Yang Shanjing shook his head and said: "The head manager is a little arrogant, this can't be considered a condition, you can't change anything if you participate." ”

Yang Chong said noncommittally: "Through this period of trade in Juyan, I found that the Wuyuan Tooth Tent understands the psychology of the Central Plains people better than Ji Jishe, and it is easy to get along with each other. ”

Yang Shanjing could hear Yang Chong's threat, if Yang Chong threaded the needle in it and let Du Bi be the son-in-law of Da Sui, it was likely that all parties would be happy, and Da Bi had strong foreign aid, and Da Sui would achieve the goal of dividing again. The ambition of the aggressive is huge, and the increase in power is a threat to both Shibi Khan and Princess Yicheng.

Yang Shanjing and the others came through Juyan, and they could see clearly the trade between Dubi and Yang Chong, due to the establishment of the Juyan Governor's Mansion, a trading bazaar had now been formed in Juyanhai. Even on the official trading days, there were still many merchants and tribes who did business with the Han Chinese in the bazaar, and almost all merchants from the Turkic and Western Regions believed that Yang Chong's Hexi trading house, like the Turpan trading house in Gaochang, did not oppress people with power, and acted fairly and reasonably.

Yang Shan pondered and said: "Chief Yang Governor, our khan is willing to support you in developing your own power in Hexi and opening up the supply of war horses, I don't know what you can give us?" ”

Yang Chong said confidently: "If you let go of the control, I will also repay you, but now I only have Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Yiwu, and there is very little room for negotiation, and iron tools and the like cannot be provided for the time being, and I can provide glass, tea, and soap to you." In addition, I will give you a suggestion, if Pei Ju or someone asks Shi Shu Huxi to trade in Mayi, you better not let him go, you are really reluctant to make that profit, so arrange a few businessmen to come forward on your behalf. ”

Yang Shanjing immediately comprehended: "Manager Yang is well-informed enough. ”

Yang Chong is now like a thief, and he can still receive top-secret information from the center, which shows that there are still people in the center who are exchanging information with Yang Chong, or even conspiring with him, what does this mean, it shows that Yang Chong's potential strength is huge. Yang Shanjing flashed in his mind those important ministers in the center of the Great Sui, Duan Wenzhen, Yang Xiong and others who admired Yang Chong were dead, and this kind of premeditated plan was even more invisible to ordinary generals, only the five nobles of the great cause, that is, Nayan Su Wei, Zuo Yiwei General Yu Wenshu, Huangmen Shilang Pei Ju, Inner History Shilang Yu Shiji, and Imperial History Doctor Pei Yun.

Yang Shanjing knew that these five people were all greedy for money and power, and it was not surprising that Yang Chong relied on gold and silver to win any of them, even if it was normal to become an accomplice from a political point of view. Yang Shanjing changed his words and asked leisurely: "The Governor's Mansion of Chief Yang doesn't know if the Great Sui admits it?" ”

Yang Chong said: "Chang'an has sent Lord Yuan Min to announce the decree and agree to the establishment of the Governor's Mansion, Lord Yuan is Zhang Ye who arrived the day before yesterday, if the mission does not leave today, you can see Lord Yuan tomorrow." ”

Yang Shanjing was really surprised, as a member of the Great Sui royal family, he began to get involved in politics at the age of fifteen, and later went to the Turks with his sister Princess Yicheng, assisting two generations of Turkic khans, and he knew too well what was going on with Yang Guang and those ministers. Yang Chong has obviously rebelled, and the two sides are still covering up, and Chang'an even admits that Yang Chong's private Western Regions Governor's Mansion is what it means, showing that a series of things that happened in Hexi must be fraudulent, and it is a conspiracy that cannot be seen through now.

Yang Chong looked at Yang Shanjing's expression and was happy in his heart, what he wanted was such a confusing effect, so that the Turks thought that they were just allies and pawns of some people, and there were bigger things behind them. Only in this way will Shibi Khan be jealous, play his cards according to his own ideas, and enter a gamble with no results.

Yang Shanjing and Yuan Min met, the two were old acquaintances, and they talked very relaxedly, and learned that agreeing to Yang Chong's appointment as the governor was the proposition of Yang Yu, the acting king, Yang Shanjing secretly bowed his head, Chang'an could not send troops now, and appeasing Yang Chong was the only means; At this point, Yang Chong and Chang'an actually have no way out, the key is that the allies of the two sides in the center compete. If Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, also agrees, it means that Yang Chong's strength is really not to be underestimated, even if Yang Chong is ruined in the future, but in a short period of time, Yang Chong will definitely be fine.

Yang Shanjing got the news he wanted and left satisfied; Two days later, Yuan Min accompanied Yang Meng's family and returned to Chang'an with a thousand sets of Mingguang armor, two hundred Turkic horses, a cart of soap, a cart of wine, and a cart of gifts given by Yang Chong. There is no difference between the soap and Daqin's goods, and the wine is no longer astringent and has a sweet taste, which surprises the people up and down; When the gift was opened, it was Yang Chong's hundreds of Han Dynasty bamboo slips dedicated to Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, and two inkstones that could be called superb, one green and one black.

Wei Xuan secretly scolded, Yang Chong will ponder people's minds, these hundreds of bamboo slips are the records of the border guards in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and there is a faint meaning of the reappearance of the Han Dynasty, which is most in line with Yang Guang's mind of great joy. Yang Chong gave Yang Yu a serpentine jade pen holder, but the carving is very exquisite, and the grapes are like flowers hanging on the pen holder, which is full of fun.

The edict of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has arrived, and he is more courageous than Pei Ju, and the Western Regions Governor's Office is in charge of the nine counties of Zhangye, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Xijun, Wuwei, Yiwu, Gaochang, Jimo, and Shanshan, and asks Yang Chong to arrange the candidates for the county guard within a month and recover Wuwei County. The edict was magnificent, but the high-ranking officials in Chang'an all read another flavor of it.

The three counties of Jiuquan, Xijun, and Shanshan were reset, seemingly to increase power for Yang Chong, but in fact, seeing that Yang Chong was from a poor family, his foundation was thin, and he didn't have so many henchmen, how could the help of the Yuan family and the Cui family be taken seriously, and if there was a little trouble, he would abandon Yang Chong. If Yang Chong wants to recover Wuwei, it will eliminate the threat brought by Yuan Hongsi and Yang Xuanzong in one fell swoop, and can stabilize the situation in Longyou and Guanzhong.
