Yang Chong picked up the chopsticks and said casually: "There are Zhenwu City and Youyu County in the Western Han Dynasty outside the mouth of the Killing Tiger, and the state of the city is better than that of Jiuyuan City, so arrange another Yanbei County there." As soon as your head sticks out, it is equivalent to encircling Yanmen County with Song Jingang, and the Turks will not turn a blind eye, so it is better to hold Yunzhong than anything else. The horse thieves and people of Yanshan migrated, considering that many people ran out from Yunzhong and Yanmen, let them return to their hometowns, if they were from Liaodong, no matter how much effort you expended, he would not go to Yunzhong. ”

Kill the tiger's mouth was originally the boundary of Han Hu, a cangtou river valley, the two sides of the high mountains confront, the terrain is very steep, since ancient times is an important passage between the north and the south, the original saying is called killing Hukou, after the Xianbei people unified the north, in order to avoid changing to kill the tiger's mouth. Yang Chong's words were so thorough, if the three of them could not comprehend it, Yang Chong could only be replaced; Cui Renshi nodded and said, "I know that Baoshan has been doing this, and I will contact him immediately." ”

You can't do this without a deep background, the power of the Duhu family is in Bingzhou, the energy of the Cui family is in Hebei, Yang Chong sent Cui Renshi to come, this is the reason, everyone knows it. Before the curfew, after the guests left, Duhu Hong went to the study to find Yang Chong: "Do you think my eldest brother is okay?" ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "How do I know." ”

Duhu Hong didn't believe it, Yang Chong's arithmetic is rare in the world, he must be perfunctory, Duhu Hong leaned on Yang Chong, shook Yang Chong's body with both hands and said: "You say, you say, you must know." ”

Yang Chong was entangled by Duhu Hong and had no choice, so he hugged Duhu Hong's thin waist and said: "If your eldest brother wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, this time he will have to leave sooner or later, Cui Renshi and Liu Yun are both extraordinary characters, you can rest assured, as long as the eldest brother does not do anything unexpected, according to Yang Gongqing's plan, it will definitely be fine, the big deal is that it will be in vain, and there will be no merit and hard work." ”

Duhu's family is a gate valve, even if Duhu usurps in vain, it is not a big deal, Duhu Hong let go of his heart a little, about the matter of the salt and iron division, Duhu Hong still heard a little rumor. The upstarts in the Hexi army were dissatisfied, believing that Duhu usurped without merit; The Guan Sergeant clan felt that Duhu had usurped the interests of his old friend, and the reason why Wei Zheng wanted to use this brain was because the music of the Yushitai had already been piled up a little high.

The imperial historians heard the wind and played, although Wei Zheng also knew that the dozen or so accusations that had been investigated clearly were all chasing after the wind and catching shadows with the status of the Duhu Valve, and under Yang Chong's surveillance, Duhu usurped would not lose a big deal because of a small loss, but in case there was something wrong with his subordinates or subordinates in the later investigation, it would inevitably cause a storm, and it was better to let Duhu usurp the border pass and do something useful.

The sun was shining, the catkins were all over the sky, Yang Shanjing stood at the gate of the Yue Wang's Mansion, looking at the bustling crowd on the street opposite the Yue Wang's Mansion, the long queue at the entrance of the people's bookstore and the squirrel park, and couldn't help but shake his head. According to Yang Chong's identity as the first person in the Great Sui now, this street should be quiet and respectful, but Yang Chong seems to hope for this atmosphere, not only did he not let the government clean it up, but it is said that he also bought a few shops and started his own business, attracting many people to follow suit, making these inconspicuous streets a downtown in Chang'an City.

Yang Shanjing knew that he would face a difficult negotiation in the Yue Palace, and his deputies Lu Jilan and Zhi Zhili were both solemn; Sure enough, when Yu Yu was introduced into the hall, Yang Chong was sitting next to Ling Jing, Shi Daqian, Hao Ying, and Wang Jue, and there was not a single official from the Ministry of Rites. Yang Chong praised and said: "Good scriptures, you are still so stylish, you can't see the changes of the vicissitudes of time at all, it's really enviable." ”

Yang Shanjing raised a hand and said, "King Yue, if you say that, I will lose face." You and I are actually still clansmen, and the Great Sui Imperial Family is also a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, King Yue, what do you plan to do with Yang Zhengdao? ”

Yang Chong showed a wry smile and said, "I really don't know, the situation with the Turks is so tense now, so I can still take care of this problem." Yang Zhengdao was reluctant to return to Chang'an by himself, but tried to use the power of the Turks to fight back to Chang'an, which was inherently incomprehensible, but the impact of the Battle of Taiyuan on Yang Zhengdao was fatal; You and I have known each other for many years, and I don't tell lies, and at the moment I am only thinking about how to achieve peace between the Great Sui and the Turks. ”

Lu Jilan asked tepidly: "What is King Yue's plan for Lizhou and Vaud?" ”

are all smart people, Lu Jilan understands that if he has to follow Princess Yicheng's idea of solving the problem in the five states, it will definitely lead to a dead end, Yang Chong does not know the situation in Tuzhou and Hunzhou, how can he formulate a plan. Hao Ying slowly spoke: "As long as Juyanhai is successfully rebuilt, we can consider resuming trade with the three towns of Woye; As for Lizhou, we think that it is too far away, and we should consider Fengzhou and Xinzhou first. ”

Such an answer is not surprising, Lu Jilan said: "Our country was defeated in the Western Regions, lost all its dependent countries, a large number of Sogdian and Qiuci people fled to Dali City, Jieli Khan, out of pity, decided to carve out fifteen cities in Yanmen County, and overseas Chinese settled in the nine cities of Zhaowu and Qiuci, Shule, Tiele, Yanqi, Gumo, Wusun and other countries. ”

Overseas Chinese in the Western Regions was an idea that Zhao Deyan came up with, and he had been learning from Yang Chong, so he made rapid progress; Yang Chong agreed: "The country is in chaos and the people are suffering, and it is really commendable that Jieli Khan is so compassionate and heartfelt. It doesn't matter, they are all Turkic people, and they are the same as our big goal, we can arrange the fifteen cities of overseas Chinese together under the name of the Xinzhou Assassin's Mansion, if there are still difficulties, we will continue to discuss. Wang Qi, you can tell the three envoys about our vision for Xinzhou. ”

Wang Qi said to Yang Shanjing and others: "Yanmen County is divided into one-third of the area at once, and the planning of Xinzhou is bound to be affected, but fortunately, we have considered this, and we can protect the government from the clouds and divide it into two counties to give the name of the Xinzhou Thorn History Mansion, one is Qinbei County, in the Han Dynasty Jiuyuan City; One is Yanbei County, in Zhenwu City in the Han Dynasty. ”

Yang Shanjing only felt dizzy for the three of them, these two counties were just north of Yanmen Pass, so that the twenty-three cities around Yanmen Pass were in the middle of the three-sided attack of the Hexi Army, and they also cut off the Turkic passage to steal into Yanshan. However, as Yang Shanjing, the Great Sui royal family, it is impossible to say that Jiuyuan City and Zhenwu City in the Han Dynasty do not belong to the Central Plains; Zhi Sili politely asked, "Lord Wang, what's going on with the Cloud Protectorate?" ”

Wang Jue replied politely: "Between Daizhou and Yanshan, there is a strip of land full of thieves, and the imperial court has decided to govern it, considering that it is related to the area we are negotiating, and the special capital protectorate will be under its control. The Metropolitan Protectorate is just a military institution to keep one side safe. ”
