Yang Chong thought for a while and asked Dai Guan: "Did the personnel arranged by Shan Xiongxin abuse the number?" Or why did Shan Xiongxin arrange it like this, as a general, Shan Xiongxin should know that these things can't be hidden, and sooner or later they will be transmitted to Chang'an, and he must have a reasonable reason for doing so. ”

Dai Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "This is what Jiang Shangshu arranged for Shan Xiongxin when he left, so Wei Chigong and Tuoba Anhu did not object, only Yang Ji disagreed, thinking that Shan Xiongxin's power should not be so great." King Yue, I don't know what's going on here in Chang'an, but Hexi is where you started, and to be honest, this approach is counterintuitive."

This is the sorrow of the cold door, like Fang Xuanling encounters this kind of thing, he can ask the old man in Chang'an and the Lu family to help inquire, but Dai Xuan can't, he can't find anyone with weight, so he can only run to his boss to take his own risk. Yang Chong understood that Dai Zhou was worried that something would happen in the future, and Yang Ji's disagreement was also the reason, so he nodded and said: "I know, now there is no one in Hexi to change, you still need to work hard for a while, as for Jiang Duo and Shan Xiongxin, you don't have to worry about it, I will deal with it." ”

Seeing Yang Chong's refusal, Dai Zhou reluctantly got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Guolao then walked into the study and asked, "Do you want me to come forward and talk to Jiang Duo?" ”

As a master, Zhang Guolao didn't want to watch Jiang Duo fall in front of Yang Chong, Shan Xiongxin's approach was easy to cause criticism and suspicion from others, even if Yang Chong trusted Jiang Duo and the two again, he had to deal with it, otherwise the consequences would be quite serious as soon as this case was opened. Yang Chong smiled and said: "Guo Lao, you say it's useless, now I hope that I can preside over government affairs when I leave Chang'an, Yuan Wei has already proposed it, next year, I just feel that I need a strong person to preside over affairs." ”

Zhang Guolao asked curiously: "Have you been selected?" ”

Yang Chong said affirmatively: "There must be." Before I leave for Dali City, I must solve this matter, the war with the Turks will not end in a few months, or even three to five years, and I don't want any moths to come out of Chang'an during this time to affect the actions of the army on the front line. The turmoil of the Qiang tribe bought time for the Turks to the greatest extent and allowed us to delay the actions of the army for half a year, or even a year, which was very unfavorable to us. ”

Zhang Guolao heard Yang Chong's dissatisfaction, Yang Chong is a very tolerant person, and he can bury countless thoughts in his heart, but some habitual actions cannot be concealed, Zhang Guolao naturally knows that he has seen too much. Zhang Guolao smiled and said, "Yang Chong, I heard that the wine sent by Zhang Yexin is good, let's drink some in the evening, and I will go to the kitchen to ask them to prepare a table of vegetarian food." ”

Yang Chong adjusted his mentality and said, "It's okay, it's okay tonight." ”

Yang Chong and Zhang Guolao just drank a glass of wine, Jiang Fei came, the news of the palace is difficult to hide from Jiang Fei, Dai Zhou stayed to talk secretly, it must be related to Yang Chong's cronies, the Yuan family, the Cui family, and the Duhu family are now in Hexi, and the last Yuan Renhui was also transferred to Luoyang, so nine out of ten people Dai Zhou talked about were Jiang Duo or Shan Xiongxin. If Zhang Guolao can go to the kitchen to arrange the dishes in person, it won't be Shan Xiongxin, it must be Jiang Duo.

Yang Chong got up and sat down with Jiang Fei, poured Jiang Fei a glass of juice and said, "Pay attention to your body, it's useless for you and me to be anxious about some things." ”

Yang Chong rarely lied between husband and wife, so he must have made up his mind, Jiang Fei asked, "Are you ready to attack the Turks?" ”

Yang Chong shook his head and said, "Kang Sheli is coming to Chang'an, with a thousand Turkic horses. The Ministry of Household and Ministry of Rites are already preparing supplies for the response, including iron plows. I still plan to give Jieli a chance to see if he really wants to talk to me about peace, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will fight for it, this is related to whether the Turks will believe in the sincerity of the Great Sui in the future, I don't want to let more than 100,000 people become slaves after occupying the city of Dali. ”

Jiang Fei stared at Yang Chong and said, "Do you have any other means, you must know that the last thing you want to reach an agreement now is Princess Yicheng and Li Shimin." No matter what you do, they are in Dali City, and they can always find flaws in your methods, and finally make Jieli change his mind. ”

Yang Chong smiled confidently and said: "Isn't Jieli the fifteen overseas Chinese countries, let's start with these fifteen cities, I have already talked to Huo Luo, those fifteen countries either believe in the fire Zoroastrian religion or Buddhism, as long as the one who trusts the fire Zoroastrian religion will be established by him, and those who believe in Buddhism will be sent by the Caotang Temple to send monks to promote Buddhism." When they go, they will say that they can get in touch with the merchants in Hebei and help them do business. ”

Huo Luo must have hoped to rebuild the Zoroastrian Temple in Hebei, where he would exert his influence and turn the attitude of those believers to the Great Sui, and once the equilibrium of the fifteen kingdoms was broken, Yanmen County would be won without a fight. Jiang Fei didn't expect Yang Chong to really figure out a way, happily drank half a glass of juice, and asked, "What can we help you?" ”

Yang Chong said what he was proud of, and said: "You can really help me to select a group of weaver girls from the palace and the workshop of the women's barracks, and I am going to open a weaving workshop in Jiangxian, so that the Turkic magnates can come to visit, and directly do wool business with them, and even allow them to send people to learn the technique of weaving blankets." When the Turks implement blankets on a large scale, they will inevitably increase the number of sheep and female workers, and we will exchange them for food, and after a long time, this part of the powerful will be of the same mind as us, by the way, this is called infiltration. ”

Jiang Fei and Zhang Guolao have to say that this method kills people without seeing blood, and it is so poisonous. These magnates can't get a penny for sacrificing blankets to Jieli, and they can exchange food for Yang Chong to go back to earn a high price, driven by this kind of interest, sooner or later someone will be bought by Chang'an. If Jieli Khan intervened to stop this kind of behavior, it would inevitably anger these Turkic magnates, and as long as the people arranged by Yang Chong took advantage of it, they could create all kinds of incidents.

No wonder Yang Chong can still hold his breath, this is another means of benefit, which is more feminine and more lethal than killing Yanmen County violently. Zhang Guolao and Jiang Fei are both people with ideals, and they deeply understand the importance of faith and opportunities, Jiang Fei said with all his thoughts: "You agreed to Huoluo's conditions and allowed to come back to the shrine in Hebei?" ”

Yang Chong drank the wine in the cup and said, "I can't delay the matter in front of me for worrying about the future. I agreed to set up shrines at five points on Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Pingcheng, Yiwu, Wuwei, Shanshan, Yongxian and Tuyuhun Trade Road. It is impossible for Huo Luo to let go of such a good opportunity, after all, they have almost no followers in the Turks, and there are thousands of believers in Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Hebei. ”
