The banquet ended in their respective state of planning, Yang Chong and Shi Daqian, Du Yan and others returned to the political hall together, Zhang Jin, who rushed to Chang'an to do business, learned that there were really 60,000 prisoners of war, and couldn't help but touch his forehead and said: "If you don't want the land of Liaodong, don't want it, you can save these 60,000 people, it's better than anything." ”

Yang Wang showed a strange smile and said, "Who said that the land of Liaodong is not wanted?" ”

Shi Daqian was still angry, if he hadn't cared about the life and death of these 60,000 people, he would have been angry at Yang Chong, and he was stunned when he heard the words and asked, "Isn't it to sign an agreement?" ”

"What does it matter if you sign an agreement, all agreements between countries are meant to be torn up later." Yuwen Rutong said nonchalantly: "The current Liaodong is no longer the Liaodong of the past, and there is not much left of the Shen Ya Department attached to Goguryeo under the attack of Xu Shiji and Heishui Ya, the original 600,000 people of the Six Shan Tribes are less than 80,000 left, and the 60,000 people of the Baishan Department are still in the area of Liaodong City, and Goguryeo can develop Liaodong by relying on 20,000 people?" ”

Shi Daqian suddenly realized that the northeast of Liaodong is the Heishui Indigent, the west is Yingzhou, and the east is the Beji tribes, as long as the Great Sui can give the Heishui Eberiten and Beji materials, Goguryeo will not be able to increase the population of Liaodong, only the transfer of the Baishan Department and the Buyeo people from Goguryeo to the north, coupled with the release of 60,000 Great Sui prisoners of war, I am afraid that the population will become the biggest problem in Goguryeo. And by childbearing, without sixteen or seventeen years, a generation cannot grow up; For such a long time, Yang Chong would never do nothing.

Cui Chuzhi came a little late, because Hun Jinzhi, Yuan Suqiang, and Guannan Dagong all asked for an interview, hoping that the Great Sui would come forward to preside over the negotiations with the Turks; There is a shortage of materials on the grassland, although Xue Yantuo and Hui have maintained their dignity in front of the Turks in recent years, they also urgently need to breathe and make up for the long-term war, so this time they will agree to Jieli to send troops to attack Tuli, just to get some supplies from the Lightning River.

But Yang Chong's attitude towards Turki made them understand that Jieli won the war, but he couldn't destroy Turki, which meant that the strength of the Turks dropped another notch; Yang Chong was able to set up the Governor's Mansion by Tuli and Heishui Yao, so Xue Yantuo and Hui also had this opportunity.

The requirements of Murwei are somewhat unique, because of the influence of the Khitan, Murwei has no intention of breaking away from the Turks for the time being, but Murwei hopes to be able to communicate with the Great Sui economically, because Murwei is a multi-source ethnic complex, including the remnants of the Wuhuan people, Turkic people, Sushen people, and the Zhu people, so farming, grazing, hunting, and fishing are all available, and they have never formed a whole. Guannan Dagong is the representative of Nanmurwei, one of the five major tribes, not only because it is closest to the Great Sui, but also because Nanmurwei is the only tribe that occupies all four things, so it is the most oppressed by the Turks.

Du Fuwei had become much more gloomy now, and had been quietly listening to the conversation of the others without making a sound, and his face was not displeased that the Privy Council had carried out this plan without prior notice to Shangshu Province; Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "But there are some things that can't be leaked, Xu Shiji was blamed for losing Liaodong, and now he has decided to give Liaodong to Goguryeo, I don't know how many people will make waves." There are some things that you don't want to think about. ”

Yuwen Rutong took out a piece of music from his sleeve and said: "Because my father and I participated in the first battle of Liaodong back then, I take the life and death of 60,000 prisoners of war very seriously, so all the plots are mine, and King Yue just agreed when there was no way." If the political affairs hall really needs to be explained, take me for the knife. ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't speak for a while, Yang Wang pondered for a while and said: "Tuli must return to the south, and King Yue can consider receiving him in Luoyang." ”

Yang Wang's proposal was to ask Yang Chong to leave Beijing, so that the Privy Council would be handed over to Yuwen Rutong to preside, and it would be logical to carry the black pot in the future; As for the prospects of Yuwen Rutong, Yang Wang is not worried, Yuwen Rutong and Yang Chong have a close relationship, and if he withstands this thunder, Yang Chong will not count it in his heart, as long as 60,000 prisoners of war come back, Yuwen Rutong's reputation in the military world will definitely rise to a height.

Yang Chong knew that the big guy was kind, and he was really not suitable to stand on the cusp, which would affect the actions behind the Northeast; Yang Chong thought for a while and proposed: "Then Rutong should go to Jiangnan and exchange Yuan Wuji back." I took Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Murowei, and Khitan people to Luoyang, just to discuss the next step with Wang Ting and Tuli. ”

Yang Chong set off with a reorganized lineup of the Yue Wangfu this time, accompanied by the left chief Shi Yuxuan, the right chief Shi Pei Lian, the right marching army Sima Mengzhen, the military counselor Zheng Zheng, the commander of the hundred cavalry battalion Tianqi, the secretary Xue Deyin, the counselor Xu Jingzong, the doctor of Taixue Su Shichang, the lieutenant general Chi Li, the army Zhang Gongjin, the soldier Cao Shen military Hou Junji, the armor Cao Shen military Li Junxian, the Cangcao military Gao Chong, and the Hu Cao military Cui Renshi.

Among them, there are three candidates that everyone did not expect, one is the marching Sima Mengzhen, and the other is Hao Ying died of illness, and Zhang Gongjin took over the position of joining the army; The most surprising thing is Hou Junji, as Li Shimin's dead soldier, he was recruited into the Yue Wangfu by Yang Chong, Jiang Fei alone objected twice, but Hou Junji finally received an order. The chief bookkeeper Wang Qi, Zuo Sima Tang Bi, Shi Cao Du military Yang Yanda, Zhang Liang, deputy commander of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, and Cen Wenwen, a member of the Zhongshu House, stayed in Chang'an's Yue Wang's Mansion to assist Jiang Fei in handling Chang'an's affairs.

Hou Junji is more excited these days, and being able to serve in the Yue Wangfu shows that his future is bright, which is much better than Li Shimin's small court in Beiping, and the people around Yang Chong are released, at least for a county guard. So it was extra polite to receive Tuli. Tuli was also surprised, he had seen Hou Junji by Li Shimin's side, but he didn't expect Li Tang's dead soldiers, Yang Chong dared to use them, and at the same time, he was a little less worried, Yang Chong would not think that he had failed and ignored it.

When Tuli retreated from the Lightning River, he only brought out more than 6,000 people and more than 4,000 people, but fortunately, as soon as the letter of the association rate arrived, Tuli arranged more than 3,000 people to Anzhou in advance, and finally arrived in Fangcheng with more than 10,000 people. Wang Ting, who hurried to the northeast, arranged the Tuli Division in Nurur Tiger Mountain between Raole City and Weak Water County according to Yang Chong's instructions.

There is a section of the Yan Great Wall in Nurur Tiger Mountain, which is 30 miles long, and when crossing the mountain range, there are stone barriers, and there are ferries built on both sides of the river, and there are three subordinate cities nearby for garrisoning and storing grain. Zhuojun has approved the official document, built a city here, named Shilong City, as the overseas Chinese land of the Shunqi Governor's Mansion, Tuliliu Association rate with Wang Ting to build the city, and he and Princess Huainan led three hundred horses south to Luoyang, and Yang Chong met.
