Knowing that Yingzhou had let Turkic and Goguryeo merchants spread the word, Sofu Sun immediately knew where he lost, and his wisdom was probably not under Yang Chong, but he was a scholar and lacked the squeeze of the merchants' hearts; In fact, the trade between countries has little to do with the common people, and the people involved in the trade are all big businessmen and magnates, and these people value the profits of money and their own enjoyment, and once they are extravagant, they will definitely vigorously promote such trade.

Yang Chong used Yangmou, a method that all businessmen are practicing, so that customers know that what he sells is mixed with other things, but they will still buy it; In particular, the trade of the crushing market moves with the situation, and there is no trace of it, which is much more difficult to deal with than a conspiracy. After the husband and grandson left the Liufu Mansion, he immediately wrote his views into letters and concerts, and asked Yuan Wensheng to find someone to send back to China immediately, even if the crushing field has been opened, it is not too late to make amends.

Yuan Wensheng did not negotiate with his husband and grandson, as long as he walked around the urban area of Luoyang, checked the customs and the situation in the market in the streets and alleys, and found that the price of luxury goods in the Central Plains was declining all the way; Listening to his husband's worries, Yuan Wensheng said: "Otherwise, I will open a trading house in Chang'an, and some materials will not need to go through the crushing field, and I will directly ship them from China as a transaction, and I can exchange more things to go back." ”

Yuan Wensheng was right, but he never had good intentions, he just didn't want the fertilizer to flow to outsiders' fields, so he just controlled the business in the hands of the Yuan family, so that the Han people could earn a little less money, which made no difference to Goguryeo. The husband Sun knew that these things were not for Yuan Wensheng to decide, the key was Yuan Taizuo, the person in charge of the Yuan family who was still in China; After thinking about it all night, Sofu Sun wrote another letter to Ulji Wende, discussing the issue of the Goguryeo border guards investigating smuggling.

With the return of 60,000 prisoners of war, the north and south of the Yellow River set off a wave of Liaodong fever, and many scholars went to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could recapture the land of Liaodong and get back the corpses of the dead Sui soldiers. There was a murderous aura in the army, so that the military department could only go to Luoyang to accompany Yang Chong and Wei Zheng in the name of inspection.

Yujuluo also wants to find out how Wang Ting is going to play in the Northeast, they are allies on all sides, and they can't provoke a war for no reason. Yang Chong set up a table in the plum blossom pavilion in the small courtyard, the plum blossoms bloomed outside the window, the plum blossoms were fragrant indoors, Yang Chong, Zhang Jin, Wang Ji, Wei Zheng, Yu Juluo, and Yu Xuan sat around a round table, tasting delicious food, and talking about some old things in Shangxian in the past.

After the five flavors of the dish, the topic of discussion still turned to Wang Ting's plan, the territory of the Ministry of Huangshui in the north of Huangshui fell into the hands of Tuli, and now grazing has begun, Wang Ting's next goal is Nanmurwei, according to Yang Chong's request to find a way to build a Murowei Governor's Mansion. After returning to the northeast, Guan Nan Dagong reported to Bu Lishe, who was sitting in the Lightning River, and had already planned the address to build the city in Kulunbo.

Yu Juluo asked Yang Chong with a smile: "King Yue, do you really have such great confidence?" ”

"Of course." Yang Chong said lightly: "It's a pity that the Khitan can't do it, so I can only use the three major governors as the main force, and let Wang Ting attack Fuyu City with a coalition army of 800,000 to 100,000 in the future, Xu Shiji commanded an army of 100,000 to attack Liaodong City, Zhang Bojian and Chen Ling attacked Beisha City and Pyongyang City respectively, dragging down Goguryeo." ”

Yu Yu was curious: "Where did the reason come from?" ”

Wang Ji replied for Yang Chong: "We don't need to bother, Silla will solve this problem for us." Once the north of Goguryeo is at peace, it is impossible not to intend to solve the problems of the south. Silla is ruled by Queen Jindeok Kim Seung-man, and women are in power, so they will definitely play a little cautious and create some trouble, even if they know that they will be used by us, Silla will still be happy for the sake of territory and for their own comfort. ”

Zhang Jin praised that Wang Ji's political achievements in Luoyang are not obvious, but his political and military vision is still vicious, but it is a pity that now the Central Plains is peaceful, and there are many famous generals on the border passes, and Wang Ji is difficult to come in handy. Yang Chong drank a glass of wine and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to go back to your hometown to be an official, go to Taiyuan to serve as a stay-at-your, and Han Shige go to Taiyuan to be your deputy?" ”

The table stopped, Li Jing is now staying in Taiyuan, Wang Ji is going, Li Jing will either lead the army to the battle, or return to Chang'an; Wang Ji smiled and asked, "King Yue, tell me your true plans?" ”

Yang Chong said very simply: "I don't have any long-term considerations, it's just that Li Jing is in charge of the war against the Turks, and I must be familiar with the army from Hexi to Daizhou, and I can't always stay in Taiyuan and be entangled in trivial matters. As for the county guard of Luoyang, otherwise let Guo Zigao serve as the guard, he is more stable, and Luoyang will not be disturbed by war in the future. ”

Yang Chong's purpose was simple and clear, and Wang Ji happily agreed: "I'll go." ”

Yu Juluo and Zhang Jin both nodded appreciatively, although Yang Chong is not good at warfare, but he can still grasp the overall situation, and the battle with the Turks again will be earth-shattering, and it can be recorded in history, without a co-ordination, it is unimaginable. Although it was a brief period of peace, the Turks were capricious, and who knew that when Jieli Khan woke up, he would make another big move, just like the previous times.

Yang Chong said confidently: "Li Jing estimates that the spring is blooming, and it is the time for the Turks and Xue Yantuo to fight again. This time it is likely that the winner will be decided, and my opinion is that if the Turks win, we will maintain the status quo, and if the Turks lose, we will need to occupy the city of Dali and push the defense line of the Great Sui forward. You can't go to the tiger at the front door, and the wolf from the back door, so that Xue Yantuo occupies that area and becomes the second Turk. ”

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment and said: "No wonder you handed over Liaodong to Goguryeo so generously, but Zhang Bojian has already gone south, what if Goguryeo suddenly changes his face and attacks Yingzhou?" ”

Yu Juluo said firmly: "Then the decisive battle in Yingzhou, Xu Shiji, Liu Heimin, and Wang Ting together, no less than 150,000 troops, even if Goguryeo mobilizes the whole country, it can also be a battle." However, judging from the attitude of Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, it is still possible to count on peace in a short period of time, and there should be no such unclear things. ”

Yang Chong agreed: "For Goguryeo, the main thing is to look at trade, this is a country with a history of several hundred years, has experienced several ups and downs, in the words of a scholar, that is, there is a foundation, and resources are not scarce." Among the countries and tribes around us, Goguryeo is the most like the Great Sui, so he is more difficult to deal with than the Turks; Therefore, the economic war with Goguryeo, unlike the Turks, cannot be expected to be a simple transaction. ”
