As long as the Khitan pilot was successful, the Great Sui could set up governors in Murowei, Heishui, and Wu to isolate Goguryeo and the Turks. Everyone can see that Yang Chong's heart is the same as Yang Guang's, but Yang Chong's vision is definitely better than Yang Guang's, and he has more strategic outlook and patience. Originally, Goguryeo's national strength was not as good as that of the Great Sui, as long as it was slowly consumed, no matter how it dragged down, Goguryeo could be dragged down; In particular, after the Goguryeo naval army was severely damaged by the Great Sui, Baekje Silla took the opportunity to expand its influence on the Han River, and Goguryeo had bitter words.

As for the Turks, unable to get out of the war with Xue Yantuo, they sent Yang Shanjing to Chang'an to negotiate the plan of the political affairs hall in detail, and Yang Shanjing asked the executive to pass on a handwritten letter in advance, hoping that Yang Chong would treat everyone equally, since he was so generous in Shunzhou, there should also be five plans for revitalizing the economy in Lizhou and other places. Shang Shu Youcheng Emperor Fu Wuyi said with a serious face: "King Yue, the Turks are not small, you let the Turks grow rice, you should also discuss it with us." ”

King Cai Yang Jizhi snorted and said: "Lord Huangfu, do you think that King Yue's heart is so kind, he is preparing for entering the Lightning River in the future, and only the place where farming is easy to manage; At that time, all the areas south of the Lightning River and north of the Great Wall will be the second Anju. Xingzhou and Anzhou are the fences of our Central Plains outside the Great Wall, and whoever wants to enter the courtyard must pass the fence wall. ”

Who said that Yang Jizhi's old eyes are dizzy, this sensitivity is not something ordinary people can have, and Yang Chong's intentions are vividly depicted, which makes people laugh endlessly; Zhongshu Ling Wang Shuju smiled and said to Yang Chong: "King Yue, if you are not afraid of us leaking secrets, just tell me your plans." ”

Yang Chong knew that everyone here was a fox, and he couldn't hide his thoughts, not to mention that he was really outside; Yang Chong took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said: "Tuzhou and Hunzhou are both shadowless things, so you can ignore them, so only Vaud and Lizhou remain." Vaud is easy to do, we are now holding several captives of tens of thousands of Turks to build castles in Juyanhai and other places, once the old situation is restored, trade with Vaud will be resumed, the key is Lizhou, not light, not heavy. ”

Du Fuwei, the king of Chu, asked in surprise: "It's hard to understand, the Turks are strong, it's not good for us, why can't we be light?" ”

Wei Yunqi thought about it and said: "King Yue, are you doing this for the sake of the population of those cities in Yulin, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy the hearts of the people if you are not strong enough. ”

People who have experience have different opinions, Wei Yunqi was also very arrogant when he was a teenager, and he once borrowed 20,000 troops from the Turks alone to defeat the Khitans, and he was indeed brave and strategic; Yang Chong nodded and said: "I want to surrender the army without a fight, but it is too difficult, so at least after the city is conquered, the people can naturally accept the Great Sui." ”

Ling Jing said disapprehantly: "You can't think too far in this regard, sometimes you think too much, that's asking for trouble for yourself, now Jiang Duo's army is still in charge of 10,000, and the daily consumption of food and materials is uncountable." After the victory of Tongwan City, if Yu Juluo and Han Shige cooperated to send troops, now that Dali City has been defeated, there is no need to spend this god at all. ”

Ling Jing was Yang Chong's first strategist when he was marching, and he always reserved his views on Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongqing, and Yuwen Rutong's control of the Privy Council. Yang Gongqing said calmly: "The Turks have no base to speak of the law, King Yue, I think we can make a fuss in Yanmen Pass, recruit horse thieves and bandits in Yanshan, let them go north to build a county, and let one or two of the four counties of the Xinzhou Thorn History Department be our people." ”

Yang Wang's head is headed, Yang Gongqing is a general who has been undercover, so considering that things are rare feminine among the generals, this is not only a practice of mixing sand, but one day you can take advantage of the contradiction between the county and the Thorn History Department to directly take back the Xinzhou Thorn History Department. Cui Kaiyuan said quietly: "Someone needs to deal with this matter." ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Duhu usurped, we can set up the Xinzhou Thorn History Department." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "You can't set up overseas Chinese, it was clear in the negotiations with the Turks, the Xinzhou Thorn History Department is the Great Sui, and the overseas Chinese set up shows that we are weak-hearted, so it is better to set up the Yunzhong Capital to protect the mansion." The territory of Yunzhong County in the Western Han Dynasty is very large, and the city in the clouds is still intact, the Northern Wei Dynasty established the Yunzhong Palace in the east of the city, and built the Baidao City at the mouth of the valley in the northeast of the city, which can be said to have a scale, but Duhu has never fought and is not a suitable candidate. ”

Fang Xuanling is Yang Chong's Xiao He, so naturally no one objected, but it is really not easy to change the candidate, because the position of the Yunzhong Metropolitan Protectorate is extremely high, according to Yang Chong's plan, once the soldiers point to the north, it is likely to be on a par with the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate in the future. Wei Zheng was really angry, and he refused to give up and said: "The Duhu family has been a general for generations, and the Yunzhong Protectorate is mainly recruiting bandits, so let the Duhu valve give it a try." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the person who spoke was Wei Zheng, Yang Chong definitely thought that he had received a heavy gift from Duhu, so he would have spared no effort to lobby; Yang Chong was silent, pondered carefully for a while before saying with a smile: "Lord Wei's words are not unreasonable, if there is no suitable candidate, it will be a Duhu usurped for the time being." With Cui Renshi as the long history and Liu Yun as the marching Sima, Liu Yun's headquarters was transferred to Yunzhong to garrison, and 2,000 infantry troops were requisitioned from Guanzhong and Hebei, with Yang Hongli as the eagle general. ”

Wei Zheng didn't expect Yang Chong to be able to see through his thoughts, so he shook his head helplessly; Only then did everyone react that Wei Zheng's purpose was to give Duhu a chance to leave justifiably by the way, but as soon as Yang Chong did this, Duhu had no room to back down, unless someone present could propose a more suitable candidate.

Yang Chong delayed in the Privy Council for a while, and when he returned home, Duhu Yu, Cui Renshi, and Yang Hongli had already come to the door, and they were all relatives. For those who were eating at the table, Duhu had no choice but to ask a little more subtlely: "King Yue, what is the point of Yanshan?" ”

Cui Renshi and Yang Hongli both stopped their chopsticks, Yang Chong put down the chopsticks and said, "Big brother, you think too much, if I want to start a war in the clouds, or establish a base for commerce, I won't arrange for you to go." You only have two things to do at the moment, one is to recruit the bandits as much as possible, and the other is to find a suitable person to rebuild a Qinbei County on the site of Jiuyuan City, the end point of the northern end of the Qin Straight Road, under the name of the Xinzhou Thorn History Department that negotiated with the Turks. ”

Duhu Usurp and the others immediately understood, with two counties, Yang Chong would have the next step, otherwise the Yunzhong Protectorate would end here; As the master of the gate valve, Duhu is not a person without pride, and asked: "What if things go well?" ”
