When Tuli saw Yang Chong, he asked after saluting, "How many troops are you going to send to the Lightning River?" ”

Yang Chong let the Tuli couple into the banquet and said with a smile, "Who said I was going to send troops to the Lightning River?" When you and Jieli are fighting, I don't send troops, and I don't do it when you fail, am I so bad in my brain? Don't you know that I don't meddle in the internal affairs of the Turks? ”

Turki originally thought that Yang Chong would take this opportunity to make some fuss in the Northeast and the Turks, and he was counting on the return of the Lightning River, even if the Turks were in a mess, he was ready to admit it; Hearing Yang Chong say this, Tuli said unconvinced: "Then what are you calling me for?" ”

The palace maid has already begun to serve the dishes, most of them are fish, shrimp, beef and mutton, one by one in a delicate white porcelain plate, full of color and fragrance, Yang Chong said unhurriedly: "I invite you to come, just to see what you think now, if you want to live a prosperous and rich life, Luoyang, Zhuojun as you choose, I can take you to do business, to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime." If you still want to gallop on the field, you can lie down in Shilong City and wait for the opportunity later. ”

In another space, after Tuli was annexed to the Tang Dynasty, he was not interested in doing anything more, and with the title of Tang Dynasty general, he ran back and forth between the northeast and Chang'an, just wanting to live a comfortable life with his people. Tuli muttered, "If you don't send troops, it's useless for me to try my guts while lying on the salary." ”

Yang Chong laughed and said: "On the surface, you failed, but Jieli Khan's life is even more difficult, Xue Yantuo What did they send troops for, for the wealth in your hands, when you let the three thousand clansmen go south, you took away most of the wealth of the Lightning River, what does Jieli Khan do now to send people from all walks of life?" Conflict is only a matter of time, and once they fight, your chance will come, and many people will ask you to go back. ”

The current situation of the Lightning River is like this, Yang Chong is reasonable, Tuli has confidence, and asks curiously: "Do you have a plan?" ”

Yang Chong saw Tuli's pounding heart, and said with a straight face, "You haven't made a decision yet?" ”

Tuli gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back, no matter what, I'm going to let the Turks live the life of the Sui people." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "Isn't that over, the northeast is so big, and there is land." I will consult with him when Jieli is in difficulty, and ask him to agree to hand over the city to you as the governor of Shunzhou; Then build a state in the area where the Khitan originally operated, and take in the displaced people of other races, and Shilong City can be used as your big rear. ”

Tuli blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized: "Now that the Khitan is in the north, as long as you don't trade, the city will be a dead city." If Jieli wants to restore his former prosperity, he has to let me take over the Khitan's position, but Jieli can let Murowei trade. ”

Yang Chong said leisurely: "Wang Ting has already opened a crushing farm in Weak Water County, and the Black Water Turquoise and Nanmurwei are trading there in consideration of the road. Besides, Xue Yantuo and their envoys are all in Luoyang right now, everything can be discussed in the long run, as long as we are sincere, we can always achieve our wishes. ”

Yang Chong's words were full of confidence, once Xue Yantuo started a war with the Turks, without the guarantee of a third party, no matter how reckless Mu Wei was, he would not go south, it didn't matter if he was robbed of cattle and sheep, if he was thrown into the war by the two warring parties, it would be the big wrong. Although Murwei is still obeying Jieli Khan's arrangement, Hui is close at hand, and there are some things that Murwei has to consider; Besides, Nanmuro Wei has actually agreed to belong to the Great Sui, and what is missing is just an opportunity.

Tuli reminded: "Jieli is preparing to build a coalition of 90,000 troops. ”

In this way, there can only be three enemies in the Great Sui, the Great Sui, the Western Turks, and Xue Yantuo, Yang Chong didn't seem to understand the meaning of the Tuli words, or he was not worried, and directly signaled Xue Deyin to call people and said: "It's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, there is no way to do it." I also called the messenger of Xue Yantuo, you might as well meet together. ”

Tu Li asked suspiciously: "Do you think Jieli can't beat Xue Yantuo?" ”

Yang Chong said calmly: "Victory or defeat has nothing to do with you and me, when the time comes, the Khitan cave brother is ready to lead his own people to attach, I really have no place for him to go now, I want to temporarily put him in the east of Shilong City, they are only three or four thousand people, you have to take care of it a little more, Wang Ting will fight with you in the future, it will also be a help." ”

What Tuli lacks most now is manpower, not to mention three or four thousand, even three or four hundred is not too little, as long as he can send troops with him when he fights, he agreed without the slightest hesitation. Xue Deyin hurriedly came back and said: "King Qiyue, the Turkic envoy Yang Shanjing and Zhiqi Sili are here, and they ask to see you immediately." ”

"Yes, please." Yang Shanjing and the two hurriedly came from Chang'an, there must be something; Sure enough, as soon as Yang Shanjing came in, his eyebrows fluttered and said: "The Turki Khan is also here, that's just right, we have something to talk about together." The king of Yue, Jieli Khan, agreed to settle in the clouds, but made a small request, hoping that the king of Yue would restart the crushing of the city. ”

Tuli's face darkened, compared with Jieli Khan, his vision and strategy were indeed inferior; Yang Chong waited for Xue Deyin to arrange for Yang Shanjing to sit down before he said: "The heroes see the same thing, I am just thinking about discussing this matter with Jieli Khan, whether to let Tuli take over the position of the original Dahe clan and hand over the city to Tuli to manage, as before, Lightning River and Anzhou each take 30% of the tax, and the rest will be used by Tuli." After all, they are uncles and nephews, and they take a step back and open the sky. ”

Yang Shanjing didn't seem surprised by Yang Chong's proposal, and said with a calm smile: "Jieli Khan is also a person who takes care of family affection, and the letter has already approved this structure, but in this way, our Turkic losses are too great, and there will be instability." At present, the situation in the Lightning River is very tense, and Xue Yantuo and other clans are arguing with Jieli Khan for military salaries and materials. ”

Yang Chong said: "I understand, this time Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui sent troops, and it must cost a lot, so let's do it, Murowei and Khitan turned out to be Tuli's subordinates, just when I bought the hearts of Tuli, Jieli Khan can announce that Nanmurwei and Khitan Dahe will be exempted from taxes for one year, and I will pay for this year." ”

Yang Chong was generous enough, the Turks were rampant, and what they collected was not a decimal, and they all took it all at once; But Yang Shanjing was unmoved, but said inch by inch: "King Yue, there are five parts of Murowei." ”

Seeing that Yang Shanjing is an understanding person and seeing through his intention to decompose various ethnic groups, Yang Chong smiled and said: "This time, only Nanmuro Wei and Damuro Wei sent troops, and the purpose of Jieli and Murwei is to withdraw Damuro Wei to the area of the Lightning River, so as not to be annexed by Xue Yantuo, and also to replenish the Turkic population." However, Brother Shanjing opened his mouth, so I will give you 100 Goguryeo captives who know how to farm and 500 sets of farming tools to help you turn Omuro Wei into a farming family, and you can also use the resources of the Lightning River to your home. ”
