The news of the Western Regions was interrupted for half a month, Chang'an first received the news from Qinghai County, Yu Zhongwen sent Wang Wei to lead the army to attack Yiwu County, defeated in the hands of Sikong Xing, Wang Wei was killed, and lost 10,000 soldiers; Immediately, Zhao Hongsi arrived at Anding County, Dunhuang County was lost, and Yang Chong actually wrote a letter to establish the Governor's Office of the Western Regions. Wei Jie and Duhu Yu both slapped the table and scolded, Yang Chong was too arrogant, this was a rebellion, and he should immediately send an army to crusade.

Pei Ju, Wei Xuan, and Li Yuan looked at each other, how can there be an army to crusade now, if there is an army, Yuan Hongsi and Yang Xuanzong can still be bounced in Wuwei; Yang Chong's battle completely solved his worries, recaptured Gaochang or killed Longyou with Yuan Hongsi, completely controlled in his own hands. Yuwen Rutong and Yuan Renhui's families have long been gone, Yuan Wei, an old minister in the court, served as the county guard of Xijun, and Yang Yong's son-in-law Wei Yuanzhao served as the deputy head of the governor's office; If the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Wenkai appeared somewhere in Hexi and held the last position, I am afraid that the Holy Son of Heaven would have the heart to kill.

Wei Xuan's head was completely dizzy, since Pei Ju returned to Chang'an, he planned to recover Zhangye, Wuwei, and Yiwu counties from both sides of Longyou and the Western Regions, and revealed that Yu Zhongwen was said to be sending troops, and Yin Shishi said that it was a paper talk, and Tuyuhun withdrew because he was worried that Yang Chong would suddenly enter Qinghai, not that Yu Zhongwen and others had a strong army. Now that Wang Wei and Feng Xiaoci have died in battle, Yang Xuangan and Yang Chong's strength is far stronger than they seem, and the situation in the west can be described as terrible, compared with Nanyang.

Pei Ju said decisively: "Send someone to discuss with Yang Chong, and you can agree with Yang Chong to establish the governor's office, but his army is not allowed to go east to Xijun, and he sings the drama on Gaochang's side as he wants; Wei Yuanzhao is not qualified, and the deputy chief should be due to General Zhongwen. ”

Yin Shishi said in his heart Pei Gong, you are really good, you will ask Yu Zhongwen to beat Yang Chong for a while, and let Yu Zhongwen be Yang Chong's deputy for a while, this is not to wipe Yu Zhongwen's neck, no, Pei Ju wants Yu Zhongwen to wipe his neck and add problems to Yang Chong. Gu Yi asked: "Who is going to talk to Yang Chong, don't Yang Chongmian hasn't seen it, he was killed by Yuan Hongsi in Wuwei." ”

"Yuan Min, please give an order on behalf of the king." Pei Ju said without hesitation, Yuan Hongsi and Yuan Wei would not kill Yuan Min, not to mention Yang Chong, this is his father-in-law, as for the farce of Yuan Min's refusal to propose, it is a scam now. The state takes away the filial piety of officials, so that officials do not have to go to their posts in the stage of mourning, and they do not have to work in plain clothes and do not participate in auspicious ceremonies; The acting king is the regent in Chang'an and has this power.

Xu Shanxin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked, "Is it too urgent, report to the Son of Heaven first." ”

Hubu Shilang Wei Jin said: "I have to hurry, it is said that Yang Chong has not visited that person yet. ”

That person, Xu Shanxin suddenly remembered that after the accident of Teng King Yang Lun, the border of his brother Yang Mengfa was Dunhuang, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat; I heard that when Yang Guang, the son of heaven, personally conquered Liaodong, Yang Lun in the south wanted to be on the table, please join the army to serve himself, and be curbed by the county department, but Yang Guang did not punish the official, and Yang Lun was moved to Zhuya County farther away, I am afraid that the rebels will carry Yang Lun out and make trouble. No wonder Pei Ju is confident, because Yang Chong knows very well where the bottom line is.

Wei Jie suddenly said: "Dunhuang is already an eventful place, and Yang Meng of the clan is not in good health, can he be recalled to Chang'an or Guanzhong elsewhere to recuperate." ”

Pei Ju smiled, this is a good idea, it can test Yang Chong's bottom line, if Yang Chong and Chang'an are just a false snake, then Yang Meng is a strange commodity to live in, and Yang Chong has no possibility of letting go. If Yang Chong is really willing to let Yang Meng go, it means that Yang Chong's purpose is only the greatest interest, and he has no idea or determination to fight the Son of Heaven to the end, so he can use political means to solve this turmoil.

No matter how much Yang Chong blackmailed, it was less than what Guan Long Group and Guan Zhonghao wanted; As long as Yang Xuangan and Jiangnan's rebellion are quelled, no matter how much Yang Chong eats now, he will be able to spit it out with interest. Wei Xuan could see that the face of the acting king Yang Yu softened a lot, and understood that the Wei family had already discussed this matter, Wei Yuanzhao was in Yang Chong's camp, and the Wei family must have their own news channel, Wei Xuan suddenly understood that the purpose of the Holy Son of Heaven to send Pei Ju back to Chang'an was because he was suspicious of the acting king Yang Yu.

When Chang'an's will arrived in Dunhuang, the team of the governor's office had already been set up, including Du Gong Cao Shen Military Ling Jing, Cang Cao Shen Military Ye Heilong, Bing Cao Shen Military Li Wenxin, Cai Cao Shen Military Song Qian, Kai Cao Shen Military Kan Zhong, Shi Cao Shen Military Meng Turn. The armies under the direct command of the Governor's Office were the Black Flag Battalion of Dunhuang Wei Chi Gong, the Shengjie Battalion of Tuoba Anhu, the Desert Battalion of Suo Yanshou, the Qinglong Battalion of Shan Xiongxin, the Western Regions Battalion of Yiwu Xifeng Changshan, and the Shaoshan Battalion of Liu Hongji.

In addition, Yang Chong gave Luo Shixin's youth battalion a back army number, Luo Shixin was stunned for a long time, and asked Liang Shuo and others for advice, but there was no answer. Beiwei army is famous in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, belongs to one of the twelve armies under Yue Fei, in Zhuxian Town, Yue Fei with 500 Beiwei elite soldiers to break more than 100,000 Jin army, so that the Jin people issued a "shake the mountain, shake the Yue family army difficulty" feelings, Yang Chong is hoping that Luo Shixin will lead an army and sweep the Turks; Liang Shuo and they are not the people who have crossed over, so they have to tell Luo Shixin that the name of Yuandianying is good.

The Turks heard Zhang Huaishan's message, Shibi Khan immediately sent a delegation to Dunhuang, the establishment of the Chijin Turks was the establishment of Shibi Khan in order to avoid the living Qimin Khan, taking advantage of the chaos in Hexi and the Western Regions, looting property to increase strength; After Shibi Khan came to power, the Great Sui controlled the area from Gaochang and Qinghai to Yumen Pass, and the Turkic side had begun to change the way of collecting money.

The person in charge of the mission was Yang Shanjing, who sent Yang Chong five hundred good horses at one time, and Yang Shanjing politely said what Shibi Khan meant, and there is no need to mention the past, five hundred horses can be regarded as an apology and compensation to Yang Chong. Kou Jiuhui, who was in charge of the reception, disagreed: "Khan's kindness, I thank General Yang for his kindness, but who can know if it is a delaying tactic, waiting for the opportunity later." ”

Saiwai and the Central Plains, when is there credibility to talk about, generally only after one side has completely failed will they keep their promises, Yang Shanjing showed a mocking smile on his handsome face and said, "What does Lord Kou mean?" ”

Kou Jiuhui said indifferently: "We have to sign an agreement to determine the border between the two sides, and the Turks must promise that without the official permission of the Great Sui, they will not send people into the Western Regions and Hexi in the future." ”

The Turkic deputy envoy Hun Chi'e laughed and said: "Thousands of miles away, my Turkic warriors can come when they want, and go when they want." ”

Kou Jiuhui sneered, "Really? In Gaochang, or in Dunhuang? ”
