The center told Chang'an that it was necessary to give full play to Yang Chong's role, and now that the Central Plains was in chaos, many supplies had to be replenished by the Western Regions and Hexi. The center asked Chang'an to send a special person to Hexi to discuss with Yang Chong to resume Gaochang's steel production, or simply open a factory in Zhangye Wuwei to provide the center with 50,000 catties of steel every year; Half of the Western Regions Governor's Office has jurisdiction over horses, and every year it has to send 5,000 war horses to Chang'an, and bear 5 million catties of rice millet in Longyou.

Including the child Yang Yu, the acting king, knows that if Yang Chong can do this, he is definitely a loyal minister of the Great Sui and a qualified governor of the Western Regions, even if he supports the army and stands on his own, as long as he does not claim to be the king, it is no problem. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty for decades, Hexi and the Western Regions have not only asked for supplies, but also supplies, and countless materials have been consumed on the road in vain, not to mention so many strange things in the border army; As long as the west side is ignored, Chang'an can save a lot of manpower and material resources to support Luoyang, which is greatly beneficial to the entire war situation.

Gu Yi asked two questions worriedly: "Will Yang Chong agree?" Can he do it? ”

Unexpectedly, Pei Ju gave an affirmative reply: "Yang Chong will definitely agree, and he can do it." ”

Wei Xuan and the others were in awe, Pei Ju was Yang Chong's biggest opponent in the court, he was so confident in Yang Chong, what kind of mind and courage he had, and similarly, Yang Chong could let Pei Ju have this understanding, and the efforts he made were very huge. The Yin World Master wondered, "You're not afraid that Yang Chong will take the opportunity to expand his power and rebel?" ”

Pei Ju said disappreciatively: "If Yang Chong wants to digest these nine counties, it will not work without two or three years, and it will be up to Yang Chong to create." ”

Yigan was speechless for a moment, Pei Ju meant that as long as the chaos in the Central Plains was pacified, the center would draw its hand to deal with Yang Chong; If the Central Plains is still in chaos in two or three years, then the world will be in chaos, and even Chang'an under everyone's feet will be bloody and bloody, so they can only continue to let Yang Chong toss.

Wei Xuan said cautiously: "You have to arrange for a competent official to go to the Governor's Mansion to assist Yang Chong, and you will see who can get these things back every year." ”

Duhu Yu proposed: "The king of Yue is long Shi Cui Zhen. ”

Pei Ju couldn't help but take a deep look at Duhu usurpation, Duhu usurped the hereditary Zhao Guogong, took over as the head of the family at the age of thirty, and has always had the influence of being the elite among the gentlemen, and he is a good person; But today's mention of Cui Xun shows that Duhu has a vicious vision and a clear understanding of the chaotic relationship between the DPRK and China.

Cui Zhen, the word Zujun, a native of Boling Anping, Cui Hongdu's brother, and Luoyang Yuanshan, Hedong Liuluan, Taiyuan Wang Shao, Wuxing Yao Cha, Lang Xie Zhuge Ying, Xindu Liu Zhuo, Hejian Liu Xuan Xiangshan, every vacation, talk about the day. Cui Zhen is also a person who accepts Su Wei, and he is serious in his work, as long as Yang Chong agrees, Cui Zhen will definitely ask Yang Chong to do it, but because of Cui Hongdu and Zhuge Ying, Liu Zhuo and others, Yang Chong can't do anything with Cui Chong.

What's more, Cui Zhen is the long history of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and transferring Cui Zhen to Hexi is a big blow to Yang Tong, and it is not so easy to choose a suitable candidate. Wei Xuan obviously thought of this, and hesitated and said: "This requires Fan Zigai's consent, and Chang'an has no right to transfer Cui Zhen." ”

As long as he can hit Yang Dong's opponent, Wei Jie is willing, and said angrily: "The national affairs are big, and the personal affairs are small, Pei Gong and Wei Gong, you can send a letter to Fan Zigai first, see what he says, and at the same time report to the Holy Son of Heaven for approval." ”

Fan Zigai really didn't dare to offend Pei Ju and Wei Xuan, and agreed to Cui Zhen as the governor of the Western Regions. Yang Chongxian arranged the four counties of the Western Regions: Qu Tugai Shanshan County Guard, Ying Yanglang General Zuo Kunlun; Fang Xuanling, Gaochang County Shou, Eagle Yanglang General Wang Ting; Wei Yuanzhao and the end of the county guard, Ying Yanglang will be Shi Daqian; Yuwen Rutong Yiwu County Shou, Eagle Yang Lang will Tutun set, Eagle Strike Lang will be bald Kulin.

The candidates determined by the five counties in the west of Yang Chonghe are: Zhangye County Shou Du Yan, Yingyang Lang General Xie Yingdeng; Xijun County Shou Yuanwei and Yingyanglang will come to Ma Delai; Dunhuang County Shou Cui Kaiyuan, Eagle Yang Lang General Yuan Renhui, Eagle Strike Lang General Zhang Ju; Jiuquan guards Liang Shuo and Ying Yanglang will be Yang Ze. The candidate was certain, and Yang Chong appointed Yu Qintao as the commander of Gaochang County to participate in the military, and quickly went to Gaochang County to meet Yu Zhongwen; Yu Qintao understood that Yang Chong was afraid that his own son would learn from Li Guang, and he would not be ashamed to be under the juniors, so he drew his sword and wiped his neck, and he was non-stop all the way.

After listening to the holy decree and Yang Chong's appointment, Yu Zhongwen sat on the chair for a long time, and suddenly laughed, which scared Yu Qintao and Yu Qinzhang a lot, Yu Qintao said cautiously: "Father, otherwise you don't want to be an official, find a favorite place to retire, with the money I earn, there is no problem to support the whole family." ”

Yu Zhongwen gave Yu Qintao a burst and said, "What are you talking about?" Are you so kind-hearted? Tell you, I am glad for myself, happy for you; Yang Chong, this kid is not an ordinary character, everything that happened in Gaochang County was laid out by him first, and I didn't lose unjustly. Do you know why I sent Wang Wei to Yiwu and stayed in Gaochang myself? ”

Yu Qinzhang thought about it and said, "Looking at the friendship between my brother and Yang Chong, you always deliberately let Wang Wei die?" ”

Yu Zhongwen was so angry that he kicked Yu Qinzhang aside and scolded: "Yuwen Chengdu follows Yang Chongchang's mind, you have not made any progress; How can I let my subordinates send them to death, I really don't dare to leave Gaochang County, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back if I leave. Liu Hongji and Yuwen Rutong, who supported Yang Chong on the surface, ran away, but I'm sure that Fang Xuanling and Wang Ting are Yang Chong's people, so I laughed when I saw Yang Chong's appointment, after all, Gao Chang was not lost in my hands. ”

When the Yu Qintao brothers heard that there was really this possibility, Yu Qintao smiled and said: "Father, I'll rest assured that you're okay, I'll go to Fang Xuanling tomorrow, this military is still for Qin Zhangdang, Yang Chong is in charge of the nine counties, as a business partner, I can't make money yet." ”

Yu Qinzhang shook his head and said: "I don't want to join the military, brother, you talk to Yang Chong, build a battalion for me, Luo Shixin is fine, why can't I." ”

Yu Zhongwen shook his head and said: "When it comes to fighting, you are really not Luo Shixin's opponent, Yang Chong's eyes are poisonous, I heard that when Luo Shixin was a child, Yang Chong brought him home, which is really amazing." In my opinion, if the 10,000 troops had not been lost, Yang Chong would have set up three battalions in Gaochang at once, and now it is very likely that there will be no battalion. ”

Yu Zhongwen is experienced and can see that the battalions set up by Yang Chong are all generals who are loyal to Yang Chong, and they are the core of Yang Chong's confrontation with various forces; As for Yu Qinzhang, Yu Zhongwen dared to conclude that Yang Chong would not hold a grudge, and even the Chijin Turks could reconcile, Yang Chong was not a person who cared about personal enmity.
