Chapter 37: News from Persia
Two sweaty horses, one male and one female, one red and one chestnut, with thin heads and high necks, slender limbs, walked lightly on the grass of the river beach, showing their perfect body curves. Tong Yehu looked at it enviously and said, "The horses are good, they are all two or three years old." In the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a prisoner of Dunhuang captured a bloody horse and presented it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ecstatic and called it a heavenly horse. In order to change the quality of domestic horses, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a delegation to Dawan with a horse made of pure gold, hoping to exchange the stallion of Dawan horse for a heavy gift, but was refused. In just a few days, you asked Kang Guo to hand over the BMW, which is indeed the deterrent of the Great Sui Celestial Empire. ”
Tong Ye Hu obviously said words of appreciation, and he shuddered in Yang Chong's ears, you are a Hu person, why do you know so much about the history of the Han people? Yang Chong changed the subject and asked, "Can the Khan continue to tell that story?" ”
Tong Ye Hu nodded and said: "That person brought something from Persia, according to his own words, it can change the situation in the world, and he sent a letter to our tooth tent, introducing the purpose of the Great Sui Mission to Kangguo, as a proof of his contents." It is ashamed to say that there are more than 100 masters of the tooth tent, and he insisted that he unconsciously sent the letter in, and did not find a trace; Because of this, we attach great importance to it. ”
Yang Chong nodded, very people do extraordinary things, Gui Niao took such a thrilling move, it is impossible for Shooting Kui and Tong Ye Hu to be indifferent, and he can't help but be curious. Tong Yehu's face became a little sad, and he continued: "We immediately sent people to Kang Guojia, and there were dark piles all over the banks of the medicine killing water, and sure enough, we saw the arrival of the Wei Jie mission, and even saw some people to make peace with them. It was only on the night of Samalgan that our people were isolated from the residential area. ”
Yang Chong asked a little nervously, "Do you people see who they are?" ”
Tong Ye Hu smiled: "Those people are wearing masks, and they can't tell who they are at all, but if they dare to make such a big move in Sama'ergan, Dai Shibi should know that Lord Yang didn't ask him?" ”
Just as a story says that the most critical place is stuck, Yang Chong is a little irritable and difficult, so he asks about it? He knew and didn't dare to say it; Yang Chong immediately adjusted his mood and said lightly: "It's just a story, it's not worth studying." ”
Tong Ye Hu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Lord Yang really has self-cultivation, in this case, it is still light. It's just that we are good friends, even if we make it up, I will make it up. Although my men did not see who the other party was, they could conclude that the other party was definitely not Kang's army, because most of them disappeared into the desert outside the city, and only a few returned to Samalgan. ”
Yang Chong understands that the desert area is different from the urban mountainous area, there is no cover as a cover at all, and it can only be dotted from afar. Yang Chong pretended to hesitate and asked, "Won't the Khan remind me that those people are the Chijin Turks?" By the way, after proving the authenticity of the first letter, is there a second letter? ”
Tong Ye Hu suddenly looked left and right and said something else: "My eldest brother is very worried about my trip to Chang'an this time, I don't know if I can be received by the imperial court?" ”
Now the Great Sui is the suzerainty of the Western Turks, Chuluo Khan is the king of the Western Turks, and Shekui and Tongye Hu are only the identities of the leaders of a tribe in the Western Turks. Yang Chong naturally didn't want to make trouble with himself, and said with a smile: "The Khan can find a way after he arrives in Chang'an, if he changes the Luo Khan, Chang'an will not enter if he wants to." ”
If Chu Luo Khan wants to enter Chang'an City, he must first make a statement, and after the approval of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he can go to Chang'an under the support of the Sui army; Tongye Hu is much simpler, as long as he is a messenger, he can go all the way to Beijing, of course, there are no more than ten followers. Tong Ye Hu said sincerely: "Yang Chong, my brother and I are really loyal to the Great Sui, you can rest assured, the five hundred horsemen will return to Gaochang, and I will return to Chang'an with you alone." ”
Tong Ye Hu's eyes were solemn, and his tone was full of respect for the Great Sui, if it weren't for Yang Chong knowing who Tong Ye Hu was in history, there was a chance that he would have been deceived, but Yang Chong admired Tong Ye Hu's idea of riding into Beijing, which required a lot of courage. Yang Chong suddenly thought that people will change, although Tong Ye Hu at this time is full of ideals, perhaps the fear of Da Sui is rooted in his heart, Yang Chong began to ponder, if he guides himself, whether he can change Tong Ye Hu.
Changing the Tongye Hu means that it may change the history of the Western Turks, Yang Chong decided to give it a try and comforted: "Don't worry, when you arrive in Chang'an, if you have any inconveniences in life, just look for me." ”
Tong Ye Hu is a person who understands, and he knows that Yang Chong is only an eight-rank petty official, and there are only these things that can be promised at present, so he doesn't mind saying: "When the time comes, there will be a lot of disturbances." ”
Yang Chong half-jokingly said: "I'm actually a little selfish, I want to finish that story, and one day the Khan thinks of the second letter and tells me." ”
Tong Ye Hu smiled bitterly and said, "The ending is often unexpected, and the second letter was delivered to the bedroom where the shooting was held, and there was only one sentence on it, 'You have been fooled'." ”
Yang Chong secretly called it dangerous, no wonder Tong Ye Hu was willing to tell this story, because this story was useless to the Western Turks, and Tong Ye Hu wanted to use it to bargain with himself. But Yang Chong thought about it, what kind of character does Tong Ye protect, do you need to do these deceitful things? Especially when the tribe is just starting out and needs its own help. Tong Ye Hu will not be so stupid, those words such as "what was full of ideals when he was a teenager, and later found that his life was worthless, and he opened a gamble" and the like, should not be Tong Ye Hu's speculation. Yang Chong calmly asked, "What has the Khan forgotten?" ”
Tong Ye Hu lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said: "Actually, we heard one more thing from Persia, two years ago, there was a riot in an iron factory in Persia, it is said that there were hundreds of participants, and under the pursuit of the Persian army, about 20 people escaped from Persia on horseback, and finally lost their whereabouts in Nami Shuixi, the capital of the United States. Nami Shuixi is only a hundred miles away from Samalgan, and then there were three cases of destruction in Zhaowu Zhucheng. ”
So that's the case, Yang Chong took the initiative to say: "After arriving in Chang'an, I can introduce you to General Yuwenshu, or you can go to Pei Ju or Changsun Sheng yourself." But you can't do both at the same time, you can only choose one. ”
Tong Ye Hu was embarrassed: "Yang Chong, you are really a friend, but I don't believe in General Yuwen and you, but I am afraid that Lord Pei will be unhappy and interfere with them, after all, they are in charge of the Western Regions, I heard that Lord Pei and Gao Xiang have a little cold towards General Yuwen, so I still want to ask to see Master Pei, if you have a way, help me inquire, what hobbies Master Pei has." ”
It can be seen that Tong Yehu has indeed made some efforts, and he knows that in the court of the Great Sui, the party headed by Gao Gong is the main force to defend the success, and the party led by Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, strives for reform. Whether it is a success, or a reform, in the final analysis, what is involved is a power struggle, Gao Gong hopes that Yang Guangcao will follow Xiao Gui, just like Emperor Wen back then, Yang Guang is in the prime of life, how can he watch the power fall. Tong Ye Hu said this and was not worried about Yang Chong, he escorted the mission back to Chang'an, Yang Chong would never say bad things in front of Yu Wenshu, if Pei Ju and the others nodded again, the matter of his brother shooting the Khan would be promising.
