Yang Jian was not the only one who questioned the Qin King Yang Jun's appointment as the supreme commander of the Western Xinjiang Army and the Battle of Apo, Yang Guang rushed out of the Daxing Palace and ran to the East Palace to meet his eldest brother Yang Yong, the crown prince Yang Yong was asking Yang Shangxi, who had been changed from Duzhi Shangshu to the military department, about the court's soldiers in Longyou and Hexi in detail, so as to recommend a suitable commander to his father Yang Jian.

"As far as the lower officials know, not only is a fierce general of Daxi Changru now serving under the command of the King of Qin, but there is also a fierce general under the command of Zuo Wuhou General Dou Rongding, who has made the Turks frightened when they hear his name, so the lower officials think that if the emperor decides to use troops in the western frontier, there is no need to choose another general, and the king of Qin and General Dou will serve as the marshals of the eastern and western marches respectively, and they will be able to carry out a surprise attack on Abo's troops by going out of the pass, and they will be able to win." Yang Shangxi replied to Yang Yongdao with a relaxed expression.

At this time, the crown prince Neifang ordered Ji Wei to enter the Yichun Palace, the main hall of the East Palace, and reported to Yang Yongyu: "Your Highness, the King of Jin asks to see you." ”

"Ah Zong is here? Let him in. Yang Yong commanded casually, and asked Yang Shangxi again, "Yang Shangshu, but I don't know who this fierce general you are talking about, compared with Daxi Changru, what is the previous record against the Turks?" How is it that this palace has never heard of this person? ”

Because he raised his eyes to see Yang Guang walking into the hall, Yang Shangxi got up and saluted Yang Guang, and replied: "This general's name is Shi Wansui, in the early years of the emperor's reign, he was implicated in the rebellion of Le Zhu Ji, and was sent to the border of Dunhuang for a long time, and was nicknamed 'Long Live the History of Dunhuang Soldiers'." ”

As soon as Yang Guang walked into Yichun Palace, he heard Yang Shangxi introduce Shi Wansui to his eldest brother, and couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to ask Yang Shangxi about Shi Wansui's recent situation in detail, but heard Yang Yong laugh and said: "A little soldier, Yang Shangshu can also call him a fierce general?" But I don't know what is outstanding about this Shi Wansui? ”

"Prince, King Jin, don't underestimate this little 'Long Live the History of the Dunhuang Soldiers'." Yang Shangxi replied, "Have you ever heard that during the war in the early years of the Emperor when the five Turkic Khans joined forces to invade the south, the Apo Khan's subordinates, who served as the main force of the Turkic Western Route Army, were repeatedly defeated by our official army and were forced to take the lead in sending envoys to make peace with our court? ”

"Yang Shangshu, according to the news that this king heard in Bingzhou, I think that the reason why Apo Khan was willing to take the initiative to make peace with the imperial court was not because General Changsun Sheng used a discordant strategy to successfully separate the relationship between Apo and Sha Bolu, so that Apo took the initiative to ask the court for peace, is there another reason for this?" Yang Guang had finished saluting Yang Yong, and asked Yang Shangxi puzzled.

"What King Jin said is not bad. However, long before Changsun Sheng used the divisive strategy, the Turkic Western Route Army led by Apo was repeatedly defeated by the official army, among which the Turkic soldiers were most feared was this 'Long Live the Dunhuang Soldier Shi'. It is said that when Shi Wansui heard the news that Abo's department invaded our Great Sui from the northwest to the south, he went to the military camp of General Dou to report outside the ape gate to serve in the army, and it happened to be the Turkic vanguard 3,000 iron cavalry attacking, Shi Wansui did not wait for General Dou to call him into the camp to meet outside the ape gate, that is, he lifted the lance and mounted his horse, and rode alone into the attacking Turkic vanguard array, and it only took one round to cut off the Turkic vanguard commander who was attacking the army, and then fired three arrows in a row, shooting down the pioneer of the Turkic army. forced 3,000 Turkic horsemen to flee in a hurry. General Dou was amazed by his bravery, so he kept him in the tent as a general. In the third year of the emperor's reign, Apo led the army to invade the south again, and General Dou led the army and the Turkic army to start a big battle in Gaoyueyuan, and it was this Shi Wansui who killed the first warrior in the Apo tribe, reversed the decline of the battlefield in one fell swoop, turned defeat into victory, and repelled Apo's army of more than 100,000 troops, and made the first contribution to the victory of the official army in the battle of Gaoyueyuan. Since then, as long as the name of 'Long Live the History of Dunhuang Soldiers' is mentioned in Western Xinjiang, the Turks no longer dare to send troops to invade the south. Yang Shangxi talked eloquently and told Yang Yong and Yang Guang about Shi Wansui's great military exploits in the Northwest Battlefield in recent years.

"With the strength of one person, can you force back the Turkic 3,000 iron cavalry? If this Shi Wansui talks about his bravery, I am afraid that he is still above Xi Changru, how come this palace has never heard of this person? The crown prince Yang Yong still didn't want to believe Yang Shangxi's words easily, and asked to himself.

"Big brother, when I left Beijing and went out of the town and merged with the state, I had seen this Shi Wansui and archery outside Huazhou City, and his archery skills alone were enough to shoot down flying geese dozens of zhang away, Yang Shangshu just said, I'm afraid it's not bad." Yang Guang saw that his eldest brother was still suspicious, so he took the initiative to explain to him.

"The imperial court used troops in the western frontier this time, not only to destroy the Apo tribe in one fell swoop, but also to take advantage of the Apo tribe's hundreds of thousands of troops scattered all over the place, when the strength has not been gathered, the surprise troops attacked its Jinshan tooth tent, capture Apo, in order to win a complete victory. Now, the imperial court has two fierce generals in the northwest, Shi Wansui and Daxi Changru, who can be called, so why do you need to go near and far, and then choose another general from elsewhere to go on the expedition? Yang Shangxi further explained to Yang Yong.

Listening to Yang Shangshu's words, the imperial court used troops in the western frontier this time, and wanted to destroy the Apo tribe in one fell swoop, and the key to its victory lies in the general, not in the handsome. If our troops and horses from the east and west are unable to capture the Apo Ya tent, or if the enemy gets the news in advance and gathers the main force in time, how should we deal with it? Yang Yong was responsible for coordinating the use of troops in the Western Xinjiang, so he couldn't help but think about it thoroughly, and asked with confidence.

"If one blow cannot capture Jinshan and capture Apo, then the lower officials think that the imperial court does not need to use a large number of men and horses to start a large-scale duel with Apo on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang. In this way, the imperial court has dispatched troops to help him destroy the Awa tribe at the request of the photograph, and it can also avoid being too aggressive, so that the photograph can reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"With all due respect, what Yang Shangshu said, is there any suspicion of fraud?" Yang Guang took the lead and asked Yang Shangxi disapprovingly.

Yang Shangxi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, since ancient times, the matter of diplomatic relations must be judged and adapted, in order to be invincible. Your Highness, please think about it, since the photo has already been declared a vassal to my Great Sui, why do you still show off his strength and archery skills in front of the Great Sui Emperor in yesterday's Shayuan hunt? Since he is boasting that his strength still exists, why doesn't the court plan and ask him to show his strength and take a look? What's more, what the officials just said is only a remedy, if the first battle captures Jinshan and captures Apo, won't there be nothing to say about the picture? ”
