Is it loyalty or loyalty that needs to be proven?

Shibi Khan was dumbfounded, and everyone was silent. What loyalty is, is in everyone's heart, not every day to hang the word loyalty on the lips is loyalty; No one expected that Yang Chong would use only a small sophistry to firmly defeat Shibi Khan back to its original form. Shi Shu Huxi had no choice but to stand up and relieve the siege and said: "The three of them have become tigers, our tent is far away from the Central Plains, and the Great Khan is afraid that some people will be confused. ”

Yang Chong put away his smile and said: "Lord Shi Shu Huxi's Chinese is getting better and better, and the saying that the three of them become tigers is very vivid, but there is another sentence in the Central Plains, if you don't do anything wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Other people's frames are only temporary, as long as you have faith in the Great Sui and the Son of Heaven, you should believe that gold can always shine. ”

Yang Chong's words even surprised Pei Ju, all along, Pei Ju thought that Yang Chong was good at skills, and today he found out that Yang Chong has a deep enough knowledge, or in other words, he has the eloquence of vertical and horizontal. Shibi Khan has returned to normal, and politely said to Yang Chong: "Listening to your words, it is better to study for ten years and be taught." ”

Yang Guang and Yang Xiong and the others opposite Shibi Khan all flashed a hint of discoloration in their eyes, Shibi Khan's city government has surpassed his father Qimin Khan, as Yang Chong commented, it is more terrible than Qimin Khan. After Yang Chong saluted again, he walked to Lu Wentai and sat down, and after drinking a cup of wine, Lu Wentai and Yang Chong said to each other: "I heard that Lord Yang once made "Dingxi Strategy", which is also one of the reasons for the death of my Gaochang country, I just want to ask, if Lord Yang is in Gaochang, how will he operate?" ”

This is another pit, Gao Changguo is gone, Gao Changcheng is still there, and it is in the hands of Da Sui, if Yang Chong doesn't say it well, it will become a joke and embarrass his colleagues. Yang Chong was a little hesitant, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui smiled and blamed: "What scruples, you are the first county guard of Gaochang County, and the edict has been prepared, and it will be announced together with Zhu Kuan and their meeting." ”

Jun has no jokes, Yang Chongzheng has six products, just to be able to be the Taishou of the next county; Yang Chong hurriedly left the table and knelt down to thank him, returned to his seat and said, "Gaochang's fate is in the Central Plains, and Gaochang's wealth is in the transportation of east-west trade. The development of Gaochang lies in gathering the displaced people in the Western Regions, rather than sealing the hundred officials, and with the population, they can be tuntian; Only with food can the people be healthy. Trade is another key issue, Gaochang cannot decide whether to clear customs because of his own needs, and stranding merchants is a practice of forcing war. ”

Lu Boya sighed, Yang Chong was so right, the twenty-two cities of Gaochang are lacking in population, except for Gaochang City, there are more than 30,000 people, the population of the three counties of Jiaohe, Tiandi and Nanping City is not more than 10,000, and half of the population of the fourteen counties is not more than 1,000. Gaochang imitated the Sui system, the number of court departments and officials in various places was close to that of the Sui Dynasty, coupled with the wealth everywhere, there were very few people who could really serve, and the whole country was exhausted, and the recruitment of troops could not reach 30,000.

When a strong enemy came, except for Gaochang City, the other cities were almost vulnerable. At the same time, in order to meet the requirements of the Eastern and Western Turks, Gaochang often closed roads, forced the Central Plains to open up two other trade channels, and adopted a reciprocal material blockade of Gaochang, and iron tools, grain, etc. became embargoed. Ko Wentai sneered and said: "Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but this is your opinion, in fact, you are looking at Gaochang's wealth." ”

It was this Lu Wentai, who joined forces with the Western Turks in another history to commit Yiwu, plundered the Qi, and cut off the trade routes of the Western Regions, forcing Tang Taizong Li Shimin to send Hou Jun to gather a large army to conquest, and ended up dying and the country was ruined, which turned out to be really short-sighted. Yang Chong said casually: "I know that Gaochang is not short of money, but I heard that Xu Guogong was surrendered in Gaochang, and the war horses he got were only 4,000, so you are reluctant to buy them or not." The two khans are here, why don't you ask them what is the reason why it is not allowed to sell war horses to Gaochang? ”

Since Gaochang was at odds with the Great Sui, he should be supported by the Turks, but both the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks listed war horses as prohibited goods, and did not sell them to Gaochang to enhance Gaochang's strength; Ko Wentai's face turned red, and he couldn't speak, he was a person who firmly opposed relying on the Central Plains, and when he looked back at this time, he realized that he was very wrong. Yes, if Gaochang is 30,000 iron cavalry, will the Great Sui dare to easily use 20,000 or 30,000 troops? There is no other reason for the Turks not to help, Gaochang is definitely a big country among the forty-four countries in the Western Regions, and it is also a country dominated by Han people, and no one wants to see him strong.

Shibi Khan's face was solemn, and Yang Chong's lofty remarks were definitely a reminder to those small countries that were dependent on the Turks, that is, their own boss was not good and could not really be counted on. Shibi Khan secretly regretted that he had nothing to do to see Yang Chong, this kid even had a hard time dealing with an old fox like Pei Ju, wasn't he unhappy to find it. Luo Khan was relaxed in the mud, and no matter how good Yang Chong was, he was also blocking others.

Emperor Yang of Sui and the central ministers were very satisfied, after destroying Gaochangguo, the reason why he brought the father and son to Chang'an was to show that the death of Gaochangguo was self-inflicted and could not live, Yang Chong's words were to the point, Gaochangguo had no eyesight, and sought skin with the Eastern and Western Turks and tigers. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty waved his hand to signal the music to pause, and Zhang Yuan, the chief eunuch, stepped forward to read out a series of appointments.

Gaochang King Lu Boya is the king of Anle Fan and lives in Chang'an. Luo Khan in the mud is the Khan of Hosana, leading 500 horsemen to patrol from Emperor Yang of Sui, and his younger brother Que Dushe led more than 10,000 old and weak people to live in Huining; The special service Ashina Danai led the people to live in thousands of buildings; The clansmen who fled to Luomanshan were arranged by Gaochang County to settle the fields. The internal edict of the Great Sui, Yang Chong was the county guard of Gaochang County and the governor of Tuntian, and Li Yu was the commander of Jiaohe County; Zhang Zhenzhou is the county guard of Liuqiu County and the protector of the East China Sea, and Liuqiu County consists of Yizhou County and Liuqiu County, Zhu Kuan is the commander of Yizhou County, and Zhuge Quan is the commander of Liuqiu County.

The people who were enshrined all attended the thanks, and the most concerned was Yang Chong, Zhang Zhenzhou was originally a general in the army, and he was the county guard of Shu County before he went to Liuqiu, and he was promoted from a middle county to an upper county, which is not surprising; Yang Chong is just a young man in his twenties, and he has become a feudal official on one side, and he has grasped the military and politics, which shows how optimistic Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and the important ministers of the center are about this young man. Guests from all over the world who were unclear were inquiring about Yang Chong's origins, and a large group of officials in the DPRK and China fell into jealousy, envy and hatred.

Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, was even more annoyed, looking at the happy appearance of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he couldn't help but ask in his heart, am I still your own child, every official who refuses to recruit me, and everyone who slaps me in the face, you treat it as a treasure, either a reward or a promotion, how can you let me lead the ministers in the future. Liu Jianzhi, the king of Qi, sat beside Yang Jian, the king of Qi, and saw the anger burning in Yang Jin's eyes, so he pulled Yang Jin's sleeve in time and whispered, "Don't lose your temper." ”

Liu Jianzhi already understood at this moment that Yang Xuan's general trend had gone, and the Wei family's operation for more than two months was like a stone sinking into the sea with Emperor Yang of Sui, and there was not even a splash; Yang Chong's appointment was only made last night, and like other stories in more than a month, the center vetoed Wei Jie and Li Yuan, who were proposed by Su Wei, and unexpectedly approved Yang Chong, who was nominated by Yang Da. It's just that Liu Jianzhi had no choice, he got on the ship of Yang Jun, the king of Qi, and had no chance to come down at all, so he could only hope for Yang Jian's luck.
