The landscape of 8,000 heads made the Western Turks full of respect for Yang Chong, and the most important thing was that the Western Turks received more benefits than Yang Chong. The loss of this vital force left the White Mountain Alliance in the chaos of infighting, and even in the beginning of spring, it was unable to return to the White Mountain. Without the support of Khibi Gelen, Xue Yantuo finally bowed his head, gave up his pastures and fertile fields, and retreated to the Orkhon River, while claiming to be a vassal to the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks; Between the Western Regions, the Great Sui and the Western Turks were officially face-to-face.

Yang Chong immediately made a big move, just when everyone thought that Yang Chong would support the two tribes of Qigu and Wuhu to fight against Qibi Gelen, Yang Chong at the cost of 300,000 catties of grain and all the business of the Wugu clan to Wuhu, in exchange for Wuhu suddenly attacked the bones, Chizhi Luhan was killed on the spot, Li Jijun was warned in advance, and led his small tribe to flee to Gaochang, and then the Boluo tribe announced an alliance with the Wuhu tribe.

This frightened the Qibi Gelen very much, full of doubts about the tribes around him, the eight tribes united around the Qibi Gelen suddenly collapsed, Yi Yuhan and Su Mu Lichi prepared to be like Li Jijun, driving the cattle and sheep to escape, on the way north to the Orkhon River, was ambushed by the Wuhu iron cavalry led by Wu Yuanlang, leaving nearly 3,000 women and children, and fled in a hurry. The Yizha and Supo tribes have since disappeared, and the Wuhu tribe has already had 5,000 soldiers, and the clansmen have reached more than 16,000 people, and they can even fight against the Qibi tribe alone.

Yang Chong only began to come forward at this time to coordinate the affairs of the White Mountain Alliance, maintaining the position of the leader of the alliance of Qibi Gelen, but at the same time allowing the Wuhu and Boluo tribes to obtain the same status as the Qibi tribe. Yang Chong promised that Gaochang County would support the Baishan Alliance and the three tribes of Qibi to carry out trade, and build a separate fort a hundred miles north of the Hunter City for trade between the two sides.

Li Jijun refused to settle in Hunter City, saying that he was originally a Han and everything was according to the rules of the imperial court, so the tribe was broken up, and Li Jijun's eldest son Li Panwei led a thousand cavalry to join the government army and garrisoned in Nanping City, and more than 1,000 family members were all settled in various counties by Gaochang County. One hundred and twenty craftsmen were incorporated into the Tuntian Army, and the rest burned charcoal in the Luomanshan camp, and Li Jijun served as the soldier Cao Shen of Gaochang County, and was also in charge of the Luomanshan camp.

The Hunter City has just begun to be built, and the Sabao Mansion in Shankuo has been very busy, and there are too many Tiele people who have fled from various tribes, although the lone strong men were taken away by Tuoba Anhu, and all the lone women were sent to the Tuntian Army, and there were more than 300 households and more than 1,000 people dragging their families, which made it difficult for Shankuo to deal with. Yang Chong not only transferred Shan Xiongxin to coordinate, but also allocated 100,000 catties of rice for the survival of these Tiele people.

The White Mountain Alliance became a sick cat in less than four months, which amazed the Western Turks, and Tong Yehu once again exerted his political wisdom and sent his brother Ashina Ni Yu special service to Nanping City to find a Turpan trading house. The eldest grandson Wunai was a little depressed on the way to accompany him, which was obviously to bypass himself, the deputy supervisor of the border exchange market, to trade, but his father Changsun Sheng and uncle Changsun Chi died one after another, and the arrogance of the eldest grandson Wunai was reduced a lot, and he consciously talked about things in front of Yang Chong.

Yang Chong listened quietly, waited for the eldest grandson Wunai to finish speaking, and asked, "Wunai, are you considering serving in the army?" ”

The eldest grandson was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and Yang Chong would rest assured that he would hand over the army to himself?

Yang Chong said calmly: "Wang Junjun will soon be transferred to Nanping City to serve as a cavalry Cao Shen military, and I want you to serve as the commander of Liupo City." ”

The eldest grandson was overjoyed in his heart, Wang Jun was stunned, Li Yu's management of Jiaohe County alone was a signal, and Yang Chong would not deliberately make things difficult because everyone had different positions; Yang Chong let Wang Junjun serve as the commander of the war, just to pass a scene, so that Wang Junjun could enter the military, and he may not have no room to rise in Gaochang County in the future.

After the eldest grandson Wunai agreed, Yang Chong said the idea of building a market in Liupo City, first moved the three villages around Liupo City to the press field outside Liupo City, and all built brick houses, and each village built a separate walled fort, and finally connected it with Liupo City. Outsiders are resettled in the press farm, the same house, but no fort is built, the people who live in the village are the people of the Sui Dynasty, and those who live outside the village are the Hu people, sharing a market in the press field.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wunai agreed, this was Yang Chong's support for his work, which was no different from the practice of Shankuo, so he took Yang Chong's warrant and went to Tiandi County to find Yuwen Rutong, Tiandi County now has three brick kiln factories, and bricks are used in Tiandi County to receive them. Yang Chong waited until noon and sent someone to invite the Ni Yu special service and Kou Jiuhui to eat together at Fengle Restaurant.

There is no need to ask about Ashina's intentions, it is to test the attitude of Great Sui and Yang Chong towards the Western Turks. The Western Turks seemed to have won a great victory this time, but Xue Yantuo's Yishi bowl was a powerful character, and when he retreated, he implemented a scorched earth policy, taking away all people, livestock, and grain, and also put a few fires on the pasture, so that the Hidden Khan only got a vast open space. Even if you start grazing and farming now, the harvest will not be until the autumn a few months later, and you will always be ready for Xue Yantuo to come back; In this case, the Western Turks, like Gaochang County, need to recuperate.

Ashina Ni and Yang Chong are old acquaintances, and they are not shy about saying that the plan of Tongye Hu is bilateral trade; The Zhaowu states and Persia began to re-take the Tuyuhun route, directly passing through the Mojun and Qinghai counties to the Central Plains, so that the Western Turks had a lot less opportunities to fight the autumn wind. Tong Yehu found that Gaochang's attraction to merchants was not entirely the traffic checkpoints, but Gaochang's own needs and business opportunities, although Yanqi, Qiuzi and other countries obeyed the command of the Western Turks, but the trade with Gaochang was developing rapidly.

Ashina said jokingly: "Lord Yang, Tong Ye Hu knew that you advocated a trade war when you were in the military department, and he said that they were friends with each other and could do business sincerely, so there was no need for that." ”

Yang Chong and Kou Jiuhui both saw that Ashina was really worried, and Yang Chong smiled: "We are friends, how could something like that happen, I don't know how Tong Ye Hu is going to trade?" ”

Kou Jiuhui had just finished eating a piece of beef, put down his chopsticks and said, "Tong Yehu wants to exchange war horses for iron, grain for wine and porcelain, and cattle, sheep, donkeys and camels for tea." ”

Like the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan, the Western Turkic Tongye Hu was also a Central Plains expert who knew how to deal with the Central Plains people. However, the exchange of war horses for iron is a very sensitive trade, although the border soldiers and warriors in various places have been covering their heads to make a fortune in this kind of business, but it is still inappropriate for a county guard; Yang Chong was shocked and shocked, Tong Ye Hu was tempting, he may have thought that Gao Chang's conditions had been perfected in all aspects, and he was testing whether he had the heart to stand on his own.

Yang Chong took a sip of wine, stabilized his mood and said: "Grain for wine and porcelain, cattle, sheep, donkeys and camels for tea, these two businesses can be started first, the business of horses and iron tools cannot be done, and I still have to buy steel from Qiuzi." ”

Ashina Ni said in his heart, the amount of steel you buy from Qiuzi now has dropped by seventy percent compared with before, and the ones you buy are all iron and Wuzi steel, and you can't look at ordinary steel. On the surface, Ashina still showed regret, and sighed leisurely: "The business of horses and iron tools is the most profitable, but it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
