Gong Yizhuo drank the wine with satisfaction and said: "I know that you must have something to do with me, before you say something, answer me a question, why don't you enter Chang'an and conquer Taiyuan?" I know you've given different answers on different occasions, but don't fool me, it's all part of your answer. Quenching Heaven Pavilion pays attention to the art of looking at qi. ”

"I'm not strong enough." Boss Yang Chong replied honestly: "I don't want to be a sinner in history. ”

A person who held twenty counties and hundreds of thousands of people with armor forced Yang Guang, the son of heaven, to be crowned the Duke of Yueguo by saying that his strength was not enough, and everyone didn't know whether to praise Yang Chong for being low-key, or accusing Yang Chong of hypocrisy. Wang Ji, who had been drunk and hazy, had a light in his eyes and blurted out, "Turkic? ”

Yang Chong nodded and said, "To be precise, it should be someone who has formed an alliance with the Turks." In the battle of Taiyuan, we can see that even if I go all out to take Taiyuan, I can't resist the Turkic Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Changxun, Guo Zihe and the four families, and their exchange of interests can wipe out the efforts of my soldiers for a year or two, so not only Taiyuan, but also Tongwancheng I don't want. All I can do is that I can get along with the Turks, but I will never betray Middle-earth for my own benefit. ”

Several eminent monks showed appreciation, Shibi Khan's strength was indeed not comparable to Yang Chong, Yang Chong had won the Tongwan City or Taiyuan City at that time, and now he could only fight to the death with the Turks, and fell into the posture of being attacked everywhere. In order to keep Taiyuan, Li Yuan gave up Wuyuan and Yuzhong, and now it is known to the world, Jiangdu, Luoyang, and Shangxian are all criticizing, and even Chang'an, which Li Yuan himself controls, is also surging.

But Gong Yizhuo was in Li Yuan's camp at the time, and he knew about it, Gong Yizhuo asked calmly: "Qi Hui and I are wrong?" ”

Yang Chong added wine to himself and said: "It's not that serious, Li Yuan and Liu Wuzhou both want to expand their power through the hands of the Turks, if they really let them become Turkic vassal states, they may not be willing." In my opinion, the Shibi Khan brothers were all outstanding people for a while, and it was difficult for Liu Wuzhou to get rid of the control of the Turks; But Li Yuan is different, his foundation is in the Shi clan, and taking refuge in the Turks is tantamount to digging his own grave, and sooner or later he will turn against Shibi Khan. ”

Gong Yizhuo thought about it and said: "I read the definition of China in Mozhuo Academy, the Turks are the subject countries of the Great Sui, is it considered China?" ”

This is a difficult question, the Turks are a vassal state of the Great Sui, if you Yang Chong want to say that it is not China, it is an uproar, and those who are bent on making the Turks submit must be unwilling; If you, Yang Chong, say that the Turks are China, then the exchange of interests between Li Yuan and the Turks is an internal matter, not collusion with foreign races.

Kong Yingda was a little nervous, Gong Yizhuo is not only a master of the rivers and lakes, but also a Confucian who is proficient in history books, otherwise how can he be angry for others, or he can compare each individual's small events with the stories in history, so as to make a reasonable judgment. Yang Chong has no last resort, Gong Yi is not a loser, Quentian Pavilion has always supported Li Yuan, and now Li Yuan has occupied Chang'an, according to the history of those who win the world, Li Yuan has at least fifty percent of the certainty of success.

Yang Chong said without hesitation: "No." The Chinese roots are in the Central Plains, the leaves are scattered in all directions, and the Turks only occupy the homeland of the Xiongnu, although they have the intention to belong to the Central Plains, but it also depends on the results of the Wang's teachings; In other words, it is to see the subtle influence of the Son of Heaven and the temptation of Li Yuan's interests, which one is more effective. I hope you come to Shangxian because I want to know Li Yuan's true attitude, whether he will hand over Taiyuan and Chang'an to the Turks at a critical juncture. ”

Gong Yizhuo and others understood that although Yang Chong had always maintained relations with the Turks, he still looked at the problem from the perspective of the Central Plains, and was a little disdainful of Li Yuan's approach, and was brewing a plan to fight Li Yuan. Abbot Faming didn't know the entanglement, and couldn't help but ask, "What difference will this be?" ”

Yang Chong said without hurry: "The method of the Holy Son of Heaven is to make the Turks afraid of the strength of the Central Plains, and they do not dare to start a war easily, but once people's fears exceed the limit, they have nothing to fear. Li Yuan's method was to take what he wanted, he would stick to it, and send land and property to the Turks, hoping to make the Turks more arrogant and lazy, so as to gradually go to defeat. But now, if the Turks settle in Wuyuan and Yuzhong, gradually expand to Anding and Beidi, and even join forces with Xue Ju, they will demand more in turn. ”

Abbot Faming sighed and said: "What Yue Guogong said is extremely true, Hebei is currently like this, Gao Kaidao is relying on the support of the Turks, killed Jing Xuan and Gao Tansheng of the Maitreya Sect, captured Yuyang, killed the general Zhang Shou, and proclaimed himself King Yan, and he was out of the limelight for a while. But in fact, the Turks are a great benefit, countless materials and grain have fallen into the hands of the Turks, with this example, how many heroes are secretly in contact with Shibi Khan, and Yanshan is even more busy. ”

Busy, Yang Chong almost laughed out loud, there is really no one who can make a difference in the troubled times, and the abbot of Faming is still so humorous. Yanshan is another Luliang Mountain, because relying on the Turks, the amount of smuggling is ten times that of Luliang Mountain, more chaotic than Luliang Mountain, and even a place like Zuoguocheng can not be found.

"They're busy." Kong Yingda said a piece of news unhurriedly: "The news just came from Luoyang, Wei Gong Li Mi killed Zhai Rang in Yanshi and seized the power of the Wagang Army. Zhai Hong, Zhai Mohou, Wang Ruxin and others were killed at the same time, Xu Shiji was seriously injured, but fortunately, Wang Bodang interceded, and Li Mi spared Xu Shiji's life. ”

The seat was silent, and the only one in the Wagang army who restrained Li Mi was Zhai Rang. Although Li Mi is now the scoop of the Wagang Army, called the Duke of Wei; But the Wagang Army is a team built by Zhai Rang, and Zhai Rang's prestige among the generals is no worse than that of Li Mi. In addition to Zhai Rang, Li Mi is in order to monopolize power, and he must raise the combat effectiveness of the Wagang Army to a higher level, and also eliminate the factors of internal instability.

Gong Yi looked at Yang Chong and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. ”

"There's no use in being anxious." Yang Chong's eyes were clear, he poured himself a glass of wine, and said lightly: "Even if I run to Luoyang now, can I beat Wang Shichong or Li Mi?" Even if Wang Shichong was beaten miserably by Li Mi, he still had 100,000 troops and 30,000 iron horsemen; Not to mention Li Mi, there are 200,000 people in the Wagang Army alone, and there are Dou Jiande and others who are in agreement, adding up to definitely more than 300,000. ”

Gong Yizhuo's heart moved, and he pointed at Yang Chong and said: "You are waiting for Xu Shiji to make a move, he didn't take refuge in you back then, it was a game you did." ”
