Jiang Duo spread the news that the eldest grandson Wuji was fleeing in the direction of Diaoyin County, and Kou Jiuhui chased after him with a thousand cavalry, and had already sent someone to notify Sun Hua in Yanchuan County to intercept him. Yang Chong, Cui Chuzhi and others cleaned up and rushed to the marshal's mansion together, and as soon as Yang Chong got out of the car, he saw Wei Chili running over in a hurry.

Wei Chili was left by Yang Chong's side, in charge of the army in Shangxian, and when he saw Huo Luo, he immediately came to report to Yang Chong, Huo Luo was the man with the staff he had seen in the Nede Hall of Chang'an; Later, Yang Chong sent Kou Jiuhui to investigate, but a group of people suddenly disappeared without a trace. Zhang Guo Lao saw that Huo Luo was burly, with a big nose and deep eyes, long cheeks and long hair, a long robe, a hat and a helmet, a law enforcement staff in his hand, and a strange aura exuding from his body, so he simply stayed in the living room.

Huo Luo was very polite to Yang Chong, with a respectful attitude, and he was talking about the Zoroastrian Temple of the Fire Zoroastrian Sect. The Fire Zoroastrian Sect was supported by the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Southern Liang Dynasty. In Hebei and Guanzhong, there are many temples dedicated to the fire, which has become a trend; Many places on the Silk Road also have ancestral halls, merchants and hus praying for blessings, cooking pigs and sheep, pipa drums and flutes, singing and dancing drunk.

It's just that Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, was preparing to usurp the throne, and Wei Chi Hui led more than 20 armies and horses in Shandong and Hebei to rebel, and fought with Wei Xiaokuan for 68 days, and was defeated and died. Yang Jian hated the people of Hebei for supporting Wei Chi Yuan and burned Yecheng; Yecheng is the developed place of the Fire Zoroastrianism, there are more than ten Zoroastrian shrines, and as Yecheng was destroyed by fire, the Fire Zoroastrian Sect was weakened. The last time Huo Luo came, he couldn't see Yang Guang, and this time he wanted to convince Li Yuan and Yang Chong.

Yang Chong knew that Li Yuan's father and son supported all doctrines in history, and it was impossible for him to stop the people's beliefs, so he agreed to the Zoroastrian Temple, but made it clear that he could not disturb the people, and he must wait for the official to confirm before allowing the expansion of the new Zoroastery Temple. Huo Luo was not particularly satisfied with this reply, Yang Chong was only a generalissimo now, and it was not enough to set up an official for him, Huo Luo didn't want to be prevaricated like this, and asked: "Can it be promoted in the area under the jurisdiction of the marshal?" ”

Yang Chong said without hesitation: "I have already made plans for Buddhism and Taoism in various counties in the Western Regions, and have invested a lot of manpower and material resources. You can first carry out activities in the existing ancestral halls, and then apply to the imperial court to expand the scale when the world is peaceful. ”

Huo Luo said unhappily: "That's not what King Tang said, he has agreed to us to set up a shrine in Chang'an and Luoyang. ”

Yang Chong laughed and said: "Wouldn't that be just right, Mr. Huo Luo can concentrate on operating in Luoyang, Chang'an first, and then we will discuss other places when the world is peaceful." ”

Huo Luo heard Yang Chong's displeasure, changed his smiling face and said: "If the Duke of Yue agrees, I can sponsor the same military resources as Chang'an, 100,000 yuan, exchange them for food, and send them to Shangxian." ”

Yang Chong couldn't help but sneer, and ordered unceremoniously: "Daochang Zhang, send off guests." ”

Huo Luo left a little depressed, not understanding that he had said the wrong thing, Yang Chong is not Li Yuan, he lives on donations from all sides, Yang Chong himself has a huge industry, and the counties controlled below are extremely abundant after five or six years of operation, not to mention 100,000 guan, 1 million guan may not be put in his eyes. When passing through the passage, Huo Luo saw Zhao Deyan, the envoy of the Turks, and was immediately overjoyed, and returned to Chang'an, which was the information that could be provided to Li Yuan.

Zhao Deyan went up to pay homage to Yang Chong, Yang Chong shouted Zhao Deyan to look carefully, Zhao Deyan is a standard Han man, in his forties, medium build, rectangular face, slender eyes, bright eyes, because the expression is calm and mysterious, giving people a sense of indifference, not at all like the description in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". Yang Chong asked in a deep voice: "You have a good business with the old man, what do you want to do with me?" ”

Zhao Deyan leaned over and said: "Back to the Duke of Yue, the villain is a pity for the Duke of Guo, he has a military horse that is unparalleled in the world, but he is trapped in the northwest corner, facing Turkic pressure, and he can't interfere with Chang'an and Luoyang." If Tang King Li Yuan stands firm, the future battle between the marshal and Li Yuan will be nothing more than a copy of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he will definitely lose. ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "Zhao Deyan, you will be the first adviser in the future, and you always think that it is not okay to join forces with each other, what do you want to say, take something real out." With the past few years of getting along with Dubi and I, it is right to support each other, let's say, what are your plans? ”

Zhao Deyan saw that his heart was broken, and he didn't look embarrassed, as if nothing had happened, and said lightly: "Shibi Khan's agreement to Yu Lifu's son Yu Shezhi to enter Lingzhou as a fortress is a nail sandwiched between us, which not only interferes with the Wuyuan Tooth Banner, but also threatens you, why don't you pull it out." ”

Yang Chong smiled: "Don't worry, as long as Yu Jie doesn't provoke me, I can still tolerate him." On the contrary, it's you, don't think about these useless things, do a good business, and after the last year, you opened the same store, and I will withdraw the semicolon from Wuyuan and let the business out. ”

Zhao Deyan knew that the person in front of him was not easy to fool, and said in a low voice: "It's all up to the Guogong to decide, but it's just that I'm a little depressed now." ”

"I'm bored, so I'm desperate to make money." Yang Chong took Zhao Deyan to the map, and said disapprerovingly: "To do business, you have to take your time, Yu Jie has just come to Hetao, and I am not familiar with the situation, you can help them and take the initiative to do business with them, don't there are a few Sogdian merchants under Dubi?" ”

Zhao Deyan understood in seconds, instead of going to war, it was better to compress the living space of the Yu Shot tribe through business, and it was best to grasp the lifeblood of Yu Shot, once Yu Shot's men went to rob, Yang Chong would be able to send troops justifiably. From beginning to end, Yang Chong didn't say a word that shouldn't be there, but the meaning that should be expressed was fully expressed; Zhao Deyan hurriedly thanked him, Yang Chong accepted the salute generously, and suddenly asked, "Deyan has an enmity with the Turks?" ”

Zhao Deyan was taken aback, and had a feeling of being stripped of his clothes, so he hurriedly covered it up and said: "There is nothing to do, don't guess blindly when Yue Guogong does." ”

Yang Chonghan said with a smile: "That's good, you have high ambitions, there will always be a day when you become a Turkic man, as long as you follow behind Dubi, the future is limitless." When the time comes, I will also ask Lord Zhao for help to promote peaceful coexistence between the two sides and educate the Turks. ”

Zhao Deyan agreed, only to feel a cold sweat behind him, and carefully recalled over and over again when he left the Marshal's Mansion, who had he told these things in his heart, but what disappointed him was that he had never told anyone. Zhao Deyan was thinking wildly, a rush of horses' hooves came, and when he looked up, the cavalry of the Hexi Army rushed back, led by Kou Jiuhui; Zhao Deyan, the person caught in the back, also knew that it was Li Shimin's representative, the eldest grandson Wuji.
