Yang Chong motioned to Tianqi to let go of Tuli and said: "Even Li Shimin and I don't disdain assassination, your father and them, as for them?" I admit that not only me, but also Pei and them, have fine work in the Turks, but this is normal, didn't the Turks work in Chang'an? If you think about it, I have always retained large armies in Chang'an and Hexi, and it is not that I do not have the strength to fight a war, and once the war starts, in that case, can the Turks really go all out? ”

Tuli calmed down, and understood that Du Fuwei was deliberately provoking, but he always felt that there was something strange about it; Tu Li stared at Yang Chong for a long time before calling out: "You have a deal with Jieli, he will be sudden, suddenly." ”

Tuli couldn't go on, he wanted to say that the third uncle Jieli killed his father and second uncle, but without evidence, Tuli really didn't dare to talk nonsense; Yang Chong sighed and said, "Don't guess, Jieli Khan and I are indeed not good people, but we are not as unbearable as you think." Turki, so neither I nor Jieli Khan dared to hand over the Turks to you, that is, you were too excited, and you either thought that people were too simple or too complicated. ”

Cui Yao and the others all heard that what Yang Chong said was sincere, and even Princess Huainan showed curiosity, and Tuli was not to be outdone, and asked, "Why do you say that." ”

Yang Chong said lightly: "You and Jieli's son went to see Li Shimin, that kid deliberately neglected you, why don't you hate your brother and hate your uncle?" ”

Tuli was suddenly petrified, yes, this is a little trick by Li Shimin, why didn't he see through it at the time, but went to Jieli Khan to question and was arrested. Tuli immediately reacted, and Du Fuwei and the others were as frightened, Yang Chong knew too much about the situation in Dali City, and he rushed to the two secrets of the Turkic high-level that he just said, Dali City was no secret to Yang Chong.

Tuli's mind returned to reality, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "How can I tell my uncle?" ”

Yang Chong thought for a moment and said, "You tell Jieli Khan that if he dies in battle, I will help him take care of the Turkic people." If he is tired of worrying about the days, welcome him to Chang'an, and we can go and drink together and watch the beautiful women dance. Zhao Deyan and An Wu called them the same, and Da Sui had the position of being an official. ”

Tuli said in disbelief: "You're not worried that they will do bad things? ”

Yang Chong said honestly: "It varies according to the material, like Zhao Deyan and An Wuzhao, there is no problem in being a county guard, but if you want to be the prime minister, it is a little worse." This is the reason for the current situation of the Turks, Jieli Khan could not find the right person, of course, sitting in my place, I really hope that the Turks are like this. ”

It's too hurtful, you might as well say that our Turks must not be able to do it this time, Tuli thought about it or held back, and asked Yang Chong: "What should I do with my Northeast Tooth Banner?" ”

Tuli really felt the threat of the Great Sui, and the Khitan Dahe Clan Alliance had decided to move north, preferring to compete with the Murowei brothers for the few bitter cold resources than to suffer annihilation in the competition of the Three Kingdoms; If there is no Khitan, Tuli's tooth banner will face the attack of the Great Sui from Shanggu, Beiping, and Anzhou, and Tuli's forces are relatively weak.

The most important thing is that the Sui army in Anzhou can directly enter the north of Dushikou and the area of the Lightning River in the upper reaches of the Luan River, which is the pasture and rear of the Yaqi, unlike the south, and can rely on Longguan, Liu Kangqi and many lakes to intercept it; And after the lightning river is the grassland of Bashang, another pasture of the Turks, if the Sui people set fire like they did against Goguryeo, the Turks would really be able to bear such losses.

According to the investigation of the detailed work, Xu Shiji is now restoring Yuyi Town, one of the six major military towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Chicheng on the inner side of the Great Wall, and has the potential to restore the 900 miles of land in the north of the Yangzhuang that has been abandoned since the Han Dynasty. In the past, Yang Guang set up Huairong County in Yuyi Town, and the Turks didn't pay attention to it, but now that Yang Chong has set up Anzhou outside the Great Wall and eliminated the Xi people, no one dares to doubt the ability of the Great Sui to carry out operations outside the Great Wall.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains have all taken the initiative to attack and achieved overwhelming military superiority to build the Great Wall, and its real use is that when the Hu people occasionally broke through one or two passes and broke into the interior, the Central Plains relied on the Great Wall to choke the various communication arteries of Yanshan and the northern branch of Taihang Mountain, so that the nomadic cavalry could only harass, and in the absence of logistics and reinforcements, they could not gain a foothold in the interior, thus shaking the foundation of the Central Plains Empire.

However, Yang Chong's approach completely violated the practice of the original Central Plains Empire, and instead ensured his initiative in the northeast through constant attacks by Hu states such as Murong Yan and Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. The Turks and Goguryeo did not react for a while, and watched Anju and Yingzhou inside and outside the Great Wall grow stronger, forming a real Three Kingdoms in the northeast.

Yang Chong seemed to be waiting for Tuli to ask this, and said with a smile: "Build a city, recruit people, and concentrate grain and grass." If one day, Jieli Khan is defeated by Xue Yantuo, the two tooth banners in the northeast are the last territory of the Turks; Don't think it's impossible, the White Mountain Alliance is gone, Xue Yantuo has a great hope of unifying Tiele, in the north and south of the desert, is there more Turkic people in you, or more people in Tiele? ”

Naturally, there are many Tiele people, that is, the so-called Turkic clan, half of them are also descendants of the Tiele people, Tuli and others were dumbfounded, and they always thought that Yang Chong and Tongye Huhui were the gravediggers of the Eastern Turks, but unexpectedly, in Yang Chong's eyes, it was a completely different matter. Yang Chong smiled and said: "I'm just guessing, let's talk about the situation in the Northeast, the Khitan is gone, but the Fu people are left, which is enough for our Great Sui." Tuli, if you want, the blank areas left by the Khitan, we will build a city each, and then divide the border. ”

Tuli has not lost his mind, and the two cities will make a judgment within two or three years, and compared with the financial resources of the Great Sui, it is full of food and nothing to do. Tuli said cautiously: "Where are you going to build a city?" ”

Yang Chong said lightly: "Zimengchuan." We will take the old Great Wall of Yan as the boundary, I must ensure that the passage from Yingzhou to Anzhou is not raided, our people have investigated, the Great Wall of Yan is still there, and we can rely on the Great Wall to establish Zimeng City, as our northernmost monitoring point. ”

Tuli is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, so he naturally sees the importance of the location of Zimengchuan clearly, if the Xi people in Yuanshuitou want to make trouble again, Zimengchuan just blocks the way for the Turks and Khitans to be reinforced from the west and north. The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and every time Yang Chong builds a city, it is in the main road of transportation, which shows that the Great Sui has been obsessed with the Northeast and has been plotting for a long time; However, Yang Chong's construction of the city was not harmful to the Turks, and the outside of the Great Wall became his own pasture, and the Turks agreed.
