The disagreement between Jieli Khan and Tuli is a ready-made theme, and Yang Chong just wants Louguandao to play the role of this soft knife, because the relationship between Feng Qiquan and Yang Chong, and the general Jiang Duo is a disciple of Louguandao, and some information is spread out, and the Turks will believe it. Qi Hui built dozens of Taoist temples behind the Hexi Army, and naturally knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and what Yang Chong was willing to do must contain mysteries.

Qi Hui thanked him: "King Lao Yue has bothered, as for how to do it, please let King Yue make it clear." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "I hope to go north from Loufu and advance step by step, I will let Li Jing cooperate with you in Taiyuan, and push the mill behind the Taoist temple, so that the Turkic people of all ethnic groups who are willing to come to the Taoist temple will benefit, and then choose a suitable place to live and build a town and a city." The Turks still have more than 100,000 people who control the strings, and more than 400,000 people, just waiting for the Taoist chief to arrange people to preach the doctrine. ”

Qi Hui said in a low voice: "Our Louguandao naturally hopes that the more people who believe in it, the better, whether it is Han, Xianbei, or Turkic. It's just that there is no shortage of resourceful people in the Turks and Yulin, and they are inextricably linked with Chang'an, and once they are discovered by the Turks, I am afraid that they will bring misfortune to the people sent. ”

Qi Hui is confident that it is a matter of life and death for Louguan's disciples, even Zhang Guolao will not help Yang Chong speak; Yang Chong lightly reminded Qi Hui and said: "Lishi, Loufu, and Dingxiang are all my territories of the Great Sui, and there is no such problem, even if you want to advance to Dali City, it will be a matter of two or three years." It's just that this king thinks too much, the Taoist gate is not like the Buddhist gate, and there are few people who preach alone, so be it, leave Shijun to you, north of Loufu, and I will discuss it with Caotang Temple. ”

Zhang Guolao sighed softly, and Qi Hui suddenly woke up to the fact that Yang Chong was thinking about Buddhism at the beginning, because in Juyanhai and Woye City, there were Buddhism to promote Buddhism, and there was no reason to change the policy in the area of Loufu and Yulin; It should be Zhang Guolao or Feng Qiquan who opened his mouth to Yang Chong to win Yang Chong's inquiry, but unfortunately he didn't turn the corner for a while and missed a great opportunity.

Gong Yizhuo took a sip of tea and said: "Qi Hui's consideration of the sect cannot be said to be unreasonable, the land there is vast and sparsely populated, although there are cities to defend, but the Turkic cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it is impossible to prevent it." ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said, "Then it depends on what Jieli Khan thinks." In fact, the Privy Council had already arranged for Wang Ting of Tongwancheng, Li Duan of Huaiyuan City, Liang De of Fengzhou, Li Jing of Taiyuan, Han Shimo of Hengshan, Song Jingang of Daizhou, Zong Luohu of Beidi, and Liu Harrier of Zuoguocheng, with a total of 110,000 troops from the Eighth Route to the north, and arranged them on the long front from Huaiyuan City to Yunzhong City. If Jieli is really ready to fight, then we have to accompany us. Guo Lao, you accompany Qihui to teach and sit again, I still have something to do in front. ”

Yang Chong left without a trace accompanied by Gong Yizhuo, but he was not prepared to give Qi Hui a chance to change his words, Qi Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I didn't expect that King Yue had already begun to transfer troops. ”

Zhang Guolao said indifferently: "Sai Weng doesn't know if he loses his horse, you always feel that you are in touch with Jiang Duo, and some things can be opportunistic, but now Yu Juluo and Fang Xuanling are in control of the movement of the army, and some of them may not be known by the political affairs hall." Yang Chong is a person who plans and then acts, as long as he makes a move, it is rarely useless; But the sword is ruthless, even if you are well prepared, you will inevitably suffer accidents, and the head of the sect can wait for the north to settle down, and then send people there, but with a little funding from the government. ”

Qi Hui's heart hurt a little again, Yang Chong has always given a lot of funding, Lou Guan took over the affairs of Hebei, Yang Chong gave shares of the mine, but unfortunately Feng Qi had been prepared for a long time and controlled the money alone. Qi Hui gathered his mind and asked Zhang Guolao: "The younger brother has worked hard for many years, and now he is tired, who does the senior brother think should be handed over to the back of Louguan?" ”

Zhang Guolao was still so casual, and only replied: "Whoever you think can take on the responsibility of Louguan will be handed over to whomever you want." ”

Qi Hui was stunned for a long time before he reacted: "Senior Brother Zhiyuan? What's next? ”

Qi Hui understood, and Zhang Guolao did not approve of letting Momen be the master in Louguan, which may be the reason why Feng Qiquan has always refused to take over as the head of the teaching; For the same reason, Lu Jian and his eldest disciple Zhong Shengbu were also not suitable, they were too close to Jiang Duo and his wife. Only Zhiyuan Dao Chief, except for Li Chunfeng, an apprentice with Yang Chong, the others do not have much handover with the Mo family, and they are the most suitable candidates.

Zhang Guolao showed a smile and said: "Yang Chongchang said, after I die, no matter how big the flood is, do you and I still have the luxury of always being able to put Louguan in the palm of our hands?" In the words of the common family, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and we can't care about it at all, and the rest of the matter is the matter of the senior brother of Zhiyuan. ”

Caotang Temple is naturally willing, and has sent a lot of monks in Woye Town, no matter how bad those places are, is it more difficult to do than Woye Town, which is full of Turks? The Buddhist monks of Chang'an discussed in the Caotang Temple for a day, and then took out a list and handed it to the Yue Wangfu, saying that they would obey the dispatch of the Yue King at any time.

The water of the Liaohe River flows to the east in an uproar, from time to time to set off waves, crashing on the merchant ships, relative to the bunker mountain city on the south bank, the north of the Liaohe River is a beautiful scenery, the rice ears are swaying, a pastoral scene; The white sails slowly fell, leaving a gorgeous reflection on the clear water, and there were no troops on the shore, only the merchants who came to pick them up, and two wide gangplanks landed steadily on the boat. The biggest change in the Great Sui's occupation of the north of the Liao River is this unique springboard, which saves merchants a lot of effort in unloading.

Since the beginning of the milling trade in Xuansu County, Goguryeo merchants were not restricted from participating, and also on the Goguryeo side, Turkic caravans swaggered back and forth between the banks of the Liao River to obtain the price difference between the Great Sui and Goguryeo. The Sui people do not seem to have much experience, and did not cruise the river for thousands of miles to the north of the Liao River as Goguryeo did in the south, but handed over a few ferry wharves to the people of the Beji and Sumo Ya to manage, collect some management fees for the exchanges, or collect taxes as required by the Sui officials.

Every time Goguryeo came north, the shipowner and boatman were Goguryeo soldiers, and they were very cautious at first, but after a long time, they were very arrogant and did not hide it. This time there seemed to be a bit of a crew member, and when the vendors came ashore, many of them followed them to the shore to visit the small trading market at the wharf; Yan Xiaoyuan pretended to be a merchant and set up a tea stall, and two Turkic and Yan Ya's subordinates pretended to be merchants and porters respectively and mingled in the crowd.

Wu Han pretended to come to get the tea and whispered: "Two of them are officials of the Goguryeo Ministry of Rites, and they just told a Goguryeo general that even if they occupy the north of Liaohe next month, these trade points must be protected, not to expel or arrest the Han Chinese, and to maintain this trade pattern." There is a man named Zomir in the Turkic caravan, who is a close confidant of the Turks, and he is very powerful, and I will follow him. ”
