Yang Chong has been in the county guard mansion these days, and it is rare to go to work every day. An Ju Khan, Qiang Chengzhu, Fuqu Tianhai, Koji Ganyan, Bald Changhui, Kan Shuiduo, as well as Bai Renfu, the head of the Bai family, Long Yiku, the head of the Long family, Shan, the head of the Shan, and Che Yuzhu, the head of the Che family, were all invited to Yamen to discuss the possibility of building a county in Beibei, Gaochang County. The ten family heads all understood that Yang Chong must not be dissatisfied until the results of the battle came out, so they all smiled and nodded and agreed to contribute.

When the battle report of the front line came back, everyone was stunned, wasn't Baishan Tiele crazy, it turned out that Gao Changguo was forced to provide food and iron tools every day, and if he was slightly dissatisfied, he would threaten the city with a large army, how could it be so unbearable this time, he lost 8,000 men and horses in one day and one night, could it be that the army trained by Yang Chong was really so powerful.

Yang Chong ignored all this, and directly announced the reconstruction of the Hunter Village, set up the Sabao Mansion there, and appointed Shankuo as the first Sabao; In order to control the Hu settlements, the Sui Dynasty incorporated Sabao into the traditional Chinese bureaucratic system, with Sabao as a first-class official, as a foreign official of the visual stream, specially granted to the Hu chieftain, the local prefectures, and the place where the Hu people lived in more than 200 households could be set up, and the position was like a garrison.

Yang Chong clearly told Fang Xuanling, Helanyi, and Shankuo that the object of the Sabao Mansion in Gaochang County was the Tiele people, in order to build a county in the north in the future, with one mansion and ten forts. For this reason, Yang Chong released all the captives except Qibi Ge, and asked them to bring a letter to Qibi Gelen, asking Qi Bi Gelen to admit his mistake to the imperial court, and then compensate 1,000 cattle; In return, Yang Chong suggested to the imperial court to set up Beining County in the north of Gaochang and Greedy Khan County in the Greedy Khan Mountain to help the Tiele Alliance change its living environment.

He Lanyi asked: "I can understand Beining County, why do you want to set up Greedy Khan County?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Qibi Gelen regards the White Mountain Alliance as a country, and thinks that he is the monarch, and if he can't hold the situation, he will not serve as the commander of the Greedy Khan County, but the leaders of the other ten small tribes may not be unwilling to serve as the leader, and the Greedy Khan County is the name of a county, and it does not have to be located on the Greedy Khan Mountain." ”

Helan Yi and Shankuo immediately understood that there were no two masters of the country, and it was impossible for Qibi Gelen not to see this, so they would definitely refuse or hinder the establishment of Greedy Khan County, and Gaochang County could not care about the life or death of the Baishan Alliance, and govern Beining County with peace of mind. Chebi Gelen is really very single, and it is not a simple person who can leave a name in history, Chebi Gelen rejected the suggestion of Greedy Khan County, and exchanged a thousand women for a thousand cattle from the two tribes of Sugu and Wuhu, and sent them together with the confession of sin.

Yang Chong immediately asked Fang Xuanling to report the victory and request the establishment of Ningbei County; Dugong Cao Cui Kaiyuan was very unhappy when he learned that he had left himself aside for such an important matter, which was clearly contemptible, and he followed a chapter to report Yang Chong for provoking the side without authorization. The two pieces arrived in Zhuojun at the same time, which made the center cry and laugh, but one thing is certain, Yang Chong killed 8,000 Tiele people and shocked the Baishan Tiele Alliance; Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Cui Kaiyuan's recital, or Qi Bi Gelen's confession, it proves this.

After the winter of October, Liang Bi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Sun Chi, the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, passed away one after another, casting a shadow on the Eastern Expedition that had not yet set off, and the news of Gaochang County was more or less exciting. Guan Wang Yang Xiong was already numb to the controversy in the center, and just asked: "Do you want Yang Chong to add this county?" ”

Su Wei was very entangled, Huan Hai for decades, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, Su Wei could see at a glance that Yang Chong wanted to break down the Baishan Alliance and lure some Tiele people to submit through the establishment of Beining County. It's just that letting Yang Chong act so cheaply, Su Wei is still a little reluctant; Yu Wenshu said very casually: "For the time being, it's still Sabao Mansion, Cui Kaiyuan is also reasonable, the Eastern Crusade is imminent, you can't stimulate the Tiele people too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Yang Chong wins a battle, it doesn't mean that every battle in the future will be won." ”

Yu Shinan proposed: "Yang Chong can build a castle around Sabao Mansion now, and setting up a county is just a process, which has an impact on the officials and the common people." ”

Su Wei smiled bitterly: "Li Jing sent a letter asking for help, saying that the grain in Moxian County is only enough for one month, and he hopes to transfer it from Gaochang County." ”

"This example can't be opened." Pei Yun said unceremoniously: "And the last county has been in Tuntian for three years, and last year he conquered Qinghai and made some gains, how to say that the food is not enough, I think the figures allocated are very normal, no different from the past." Although Gaochang County was the only county in the Western Regions that paid full taxes last year, the grain in Gaochang County was all premium and taxed, not to mention allocation, even if it was spent on it, I am afraid that Yang Chong would not do it. ”

Duan Wenzhen and Yang Da were silent, and only Yang Chong and Liu Quan would not do this kind of thing in the counties of the Western Regions, because the two of them did not get cheap in the county. Li Jing's current situation is similar to when Li Yuan was in Yiwu County, and his subordinates all keep a large number of domestic slaves and live a luxurious life; However, the military rations of the imperial court were allocated according to the establishment of the army, and a huge black hole was formed in it, and even the number of leaks in the tuntian could not make up for it. At that time, Li Yuan lived by intercepting the materials of Gaochang County, and Li Jing did not have that kind of convenience, so he could only ask for help.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was a little displeased, how many major events had to be prepared for the Eastern Expedition, and this was a waste of time, so he asked: "How much tax did Gaochang County pay last year?" ”

Pei Yun replied: "Gaochang cotton is 60,000 feet, 200 war horses, 5,000 catties of steel, 13,000 yuan of salt, wine and iron tax in the county, 7,000 yuan of crushing trade, and 16,000 yuan of self-raised grain premium. ”

Pei Ju said casually: "It's a little less." ”

Yu Shinan almost laughed, this is a little less, if all 190 counties are handed over like this, only 6.7 million guan money can buy Goguryeo, and there is no need to fight, only need to post notices all over the border, and clearly mark the price of the important ministers below the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan. Duan Wenzhen said with a smile: "It's a lot, last year, in order to support the Eastern Crusade, Yang Chong also gave the imperial court three hundred turtle horses and a pair of squirrel, which are worth at least 100,000 yuan. ”

Su Wei nodded and said: "Duan Shangshu is true, a turtle horse is worth 300 guan in Chang'an, and it is difficult to find 10,000 guan of Qizi Jia. Yang Chong wrote to Chang'an and discussed this year's taxes with Wei Xuan, saying that for the sake of grain, the cotton planting area is limited, and he hopes that Gaochang cotton and war horses will still be the same, and steel can be a little more, 10,000 catties. ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty immediately made a decision: "Gaochang cotton maintains the original number, 10,000 catties of steel, but the war horses are set at 500, and they will be sent to Zhuojun immediately; As for the grain, like Gaochang County, Mojun wants to buy it from Dunhuang, Wuwei, and Qinghai counties at a premium, and Mojun controls the Tuyuhun Road, and like Gaochang, it is a transportation important place in the Western Regions, so there is no reason why it can't be solved. Yu Wenkai, you talk to Yang Chong, King Qi also likes Qi Zijia. ”

Yu Wenkai happily agreed, as Yang Chong's senior brother, he understood that this kind of hand-forged armor was labor-intensive and time-consuming, and Yang Chong now has people in Gaochang County. Su Wei sighed, if Yang Chong didn't have the help of the Yuan family, the Duhu family, the Yu family, and the Hongnong Yang family, he wouldn't have the ability to stabilize Gaochang's grain; Li Jingshang where to find a helper, although Cui Junsu is a member of the Cui family in Qinghe, but this year's drought in Hebei is full of displaced people, and the Cui family is not strong enough.
