As early as a few months ago, when Yang Guang was still in Chang'an, he had been ordered to visit the condition of Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, and Li Mu, the Taishi, and learned from the mouth of the imperial doctor who diagnosed and treated the two of them that they were terminally ill, so although Zhang Heng made a special trip to Baidaozhou to report the news that the two of them had passed away, he was not very surprised. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Jianping, since you said that Li Hun has returned to Bingzhou, why don't you bring him to Baidaozhou to see me?" Yang Guang was very dissatisfied with Zhang Heng's persuasion not to send troops to recruit the Turks, so he questioned him.

In fact, according to Zhang Heng's original intention, he really wanted to bring Li Hun to Baidaozhou to see Yang Guang, but Wang Shao was worried that Yang Guang had not yet been freed from his low and sad mood, and when he saw Li Hun with heavy filial piety at first glance, he would rekindle his sadness, so he stopped Li Hun.

Even so, Zhang Heng did not intend to argue with Yang Guang more on these details, and openly persuaded Yang Guangdao: "Xia Guan knows very well the true complex of the prince's eagerness to send troops to recruit the Turks. Not to mention that Sha Bolu has sent his nephew Rangan as a hostage to the imperial court, showing his willingness to be loyal to the emperor, at this time, the prince will be questioned only by moving the tooth tent north, and lead the army to crusade against him, it is inevitable that the division will be nameless, and more importantly, even if the prince leads the army to successfully defeat and destroy the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, what good is the crux in the prince's heart? ”

Zhang Heng's words hit the softness of Yang Guang's heart, he sat down and shouted with a depressed expression: "I can't sword Yuwen Prajna for a day, and this evil breath in my chest can't be vented for a day." ”

Since he didn't know that An Ruoxi was the eyeliner that Yuwen Panruo planted beside Yang Guang, he naturally didn't understand why Yang Guang had such a deep resentment towards Yuwen Panruo, but Zhang Heng understood that his words had moved Yang Guang, so he continued to persuade him: "King Wei and Taishi passed away one after another, and the prince, as a vassal king entrusted by the emperor to go out of the north of the town, has the primary responsibility of ensuring the peace of the border and helping the emperor stabilize the situation. For this reason, Wang Servant, Qi Angong, Xia Guan, and all the subordinates of Xingtai implored the prince to return to Bingzhou as soon as possible, and led all his subordinates to mourn for King Wei and Taishi in Bingzhou. ”

The ancients attached the most importance to etiquette. According to the Sui rites, when an elder of the imperial family like Yang Shuang died, and the emperor did not send an edict to Yang Guang to return to the dynasty to pay his respects, he must also lead his subordinates to mourn and mourn in the domain to fulfill his filial piety. Zhang Heng used this as a reason to persuade Yang Guang to quit the war, which Yang Guang could not easily refuse.

After a moment of silence, Yang Guang raised his head, stared at Zhang Heng with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and said slowly: "In Baidaozhou, I can also mourn for the sixth uncle and the Taishi. If he doesn't return to Zihe Town for a day, I won't go back to the state for a day. ”

Zhang Heng keenly heard from Yang Guang's words that he no longer insisted on immediately leading the army to conquer the Turks, so he echoed him: "No matter which state capital is under the rule of Hebei Province, as long as the prince mourns according to the courtesy, it is not considered a violation. Jianping is not talented, and he is willing to follow the prince to mourn for King Wei and Taishi in Baidaozhou. ”

"Come in and talk back." Yang Guang nodded, satisfied that Zhang Heng no longer forced him to return to the state, and raised his voice to command outside the hall.

Yan Rong led Gu Hezhen back to the council hall.

"This king can not hold you accountable for moving the tooth tent north without authorization." Yang Guang still instructed Gu Hezhen in the tone of his boss speaking to his subordinates, "However, you must immediately persuade the husband and wife to return to Zihe Town as soon as possible, and from now on, you must not move the Great Khan's tooth tent anywhere without the permission of this king." ”

Gu Hezhen stiffened his neck and was about to open his mouth to argue, Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward and reminded him: "Your Highness has promised not to send troops to recruit for the time being, as long as the special service can persuade the Great Khan and Ke Hedun to return as soon as possible, everything can be resolved through negotiation." You must know that since the Great Khan has bowed down to me and proclaimed himself to the Son of Heaven, such a major event as the northward relocation of the tooth tent will not be able to make the decision without a word, I am afraid that it will not be reasonable to say it. ”

"I'm just a subordinate of the Great Khan, and I can't be sure whether I can persuade the Great Khan and Khedun to return, so I can only do my best." Seeing that Zhang Heng couldn't help but wink at him, he replied reluctantly.

"Yan Rong, the military order of the king of Chuanben, from today onwards, 20,000 soldiers and horses will be dispatched to hold daily drills twenty miles north of Baidaozhou City, and there must be no mistake." Yang Guangsheng issued a military order.

"The last will obey." Yan Rong replied loudly, turned around and walked out of the conference hall to arrange the drill.

"Zhang Heng, immediately order you to repair a letter on behalf of this king, immediately send someone back to the state to hand over to General Li Che, and order him to mobilize 50,000 troops from the Guannei to rush to Baidaozhou to participate in the drill." Without waiting for Gu Hezhen to react, Yang Guang quickly issued a second military order.

As soon as he saw that Yang Guang was about to move in earnest, Gu Hezhen couldn't help but feel a little timid: he knew that the reason why he didn't even say hello and moved the Great Khan's tooth tent north without permission was the idea of He Dunyuwen Praruo, and his intention was nothing more than to take the opportunity of sending hostages to the Sui Dynasty to show the people of the tribe that the Great Khan was not willing to be a vassal of the Sui Dynasty, gather people's hearts, and at the same time, gradually get rid of the Sui Dynasty's control over the Eastern Turks, which did not have much practical significance. If this angers Yang Guang and restarts the war between the two countries, the tribe will undoubtedly face annihilation. He could not afford not to deal with the matter with caution.

"Ten days. I ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin to give me ten days to persuade the Great Khan to return to Zihe Town, how about it? Gu Hezhen was forced to be helpless, and finally bowed his head to Yang Guang and relented.

"Since he has declared himself a vassal to my Great Sui, he must be his vassal lord, and if he dares to act recklessly in the future, he will not blame this king for being polite." Yang Guang said, stood up, brushed his sleeves away, and left the cave in the conference hall, his face was blue and red, and he couldn't get off the stage.

Zhang Heng saw that Gu Hezhen's face was really unbearable, so he approached him and said comfortingly: "Although King Jin's words are a little heavier, they are all reasonable. If one day in the future, the Great Khan will launch a counterattack on the Tiele Abba Division, and the king of Jin will definitely fulfill his promise and send troops to help. ”

At this point, Kuhezhen couldn't say a word except for his promises.

Eight days later, Sha Bolu Khan took the picture and obediently returned to Zihe Town with Kehe Dunyuwen Prajna, and sent envoys to Baidaozhou to present many gifts to Yang Guang to express their apology. At the same time, Zhang Heng, who followed Yang Guang to stay in Baidaozhou to mourn for Yang Shuang and Li Mu, also received a secret report, saying that although the photo map and Yuwen Panruo returned to Zihe Town as scheduled in accordance with Yang Guang's wishes, the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu led 30,000 Turkic main iron horsemen to stay on the banks of the Duluo River.

Zhang Heng thought about the overall situation, quietly pressed the matter, did not explain it to Yang Guang, and persuaded Yang Guang to return to Bingzhou City three days later.
