Chapter 869: Four Meiji

Nothing to say all the way. Ten days later, Li Jing followed Changsun Sheng to Bingzhou, and saw Shangshu's left servant shoot Gao Ying, only to know that there was a tense atmosphere of imminent war inside and outside the Guan, in order to deal with the Turkic alliance Goguryeo attack, Gao Ying had scattered the Sui army stationed in various parts of Hebei with a total of about 100,000 soldiers and horses divided into east and west routes, assembled in the Yanmen Pass and Linyu Pass, ready to fight with the invading enemy at any time.

Changsun Sheng and Feng Lun broke up in Bingzhou, and Feng Lun took Yan Shisan to the east to pass through Linyu Pass to envoy Goguryeo to dissuade the new Goguryeo king Gao Yuan from quitting the army, while Changsun Sheng led Li Jing, Yang Xuangan and other more than a dozen attachΓ©s, carrying beauties and generous gifts straight out of Yanmen Pass, and rushed to Dujin Mountain, where the Turkic Great Khan's tooth tent was located, to meet Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu.

With the increasing revival and strength of the Eastern Turks, since Yong Yulu succeeded as the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, he gradually revealed his ambition to be unwilling to be a vassal of the Sui Dynasty. Not long after the Sui Dynasty's Xingsanlu army destroyed Nanchen, Yongyu Lu ignored the repeated warnings and dissuasions of the Sui Dynasty and forcibly moved the Great Khan's tooth tent from Zihe Town, not far from Baidaozhou, back to Dujin Mountain.

At that time, there were ministers in the Chang'an Dynasty who suggested that Yang Jian, the ancestor of the Sui Dynasty, send troops outside the pass, and use force to force the Turks to move the Great Khan's tooth tent back to Zihe Town, because there were rebellions in Jiangnan at that time, and Yang Jian considered that Yongyu Lu was still paying tribute to the Sui Dynasty, and it was not appropriate to act rashly, so he tolerated Yongyu Lu's behavior of moving the tooth tent north, and at the same time, in order to strengthen the vigilance against the Turks, the special prime minister Gao Ying personally went out of Hebei to prevent the Turks from raising troops to attack at any time.

On the day when Changsun Sheng and his entourage arrived at Dujin Mountain, they were warmly welcomed by Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu and Kehe Dunyu Wen Praruo, and the husband and wife led the Turkic civil and military ministers to welcome them out five miles away, and welcomed Changsun Sheng and his party into the Great Khan's tooth tent, and arranged a sumptuous banquet for Changsun Sheng and his party to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and there was no trace of the atmosphere of the war between the two countries.

After the cold and noisy with Yongyu Lu and Yuwen Panruo husband and wife was over, Changsun Sheng said unexpectedly to the other party: "The saint recently heard that there is a traitor Yang Qin in Chang'an, who sneaked outside the pass, and wanted to lobby the Great Khan to raise troops to attack Sui, and specially ordered to arrest Yang Qin and return to Beijing to punish the crime, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two countries, please ask the Great Khan to hand over Yang Qin to him immediately." ”

Yongyu Lu and Yuwen Panruo looked at each other, and before they could answer, the Turkic Otsuka Zai An Suijia, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, had already clasped his fists at Changsun Sheng and said: "Where did General Changsun say, I have always been with the Great Khan, but I have never seen any Chang'an traitors come to persuade the Great Khan to raise troops to attack Sui, I'm afraid the rumors are wrong." ”

After being reminded by An Suijia, Yongyu Lu hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Ben Khan has recently trained troops in the area of Zihe Town, in order to prevent the Western Turks from attacking Datouxing, and there is no intention of raising troops to attack Sui, presumably the Son of Heaven of Chang'an misheard the rumors spread by traitors. ”

Changsun Sheng had expected in advance that Yongyu Lu would most likely not easily admit that he was persuaded by others and was ready to raise troops to attack Sui, so he deliberately turned to Yuwen Panruo, and asked in a wordy manner: "Before leaving, Niangniang also told the princess that the bitter cold place outside the gate is not suitable for a long time, and Niangniang has prepared a palace for the princess next to the Zhengyang Palace where she lives every day, and sincerely invites the princess to return to Chang'an to live. Princess, I heard that this Chang'an traitor with the pseudonym Yang Qin is actually Liu Jushi, the princess of the former dynasty and the son of Peng Guogong. Liu Jushi sneaked outside the pass and lobbied the Great Khan to raise troops to attack the Sui, in order to oppose the Sui and restore the Yuwen family's Jiangshan Sheji. Isn't this all groundless nonsense? Since the princess has changed her surname and returned to her ancestors, for the sake of my righteous princess of the Great Sui, she should think about the saint and Niangniang, and for the sake of the tens of millions of people of the Great Sui, persuade the Great Khan to hand over Liu Jushi to him, and continue to maintain the status quo of harmonious coexistence between the Turks and the Great Sui. I wonder what the princess thinks? ”

Yuwen Panruo listened to Changsun Sheng's words of both soft and hard, and replied without changing his face: "If there is really Yang Qin, I will persuade the Great Khan to return this traitor to his father and queen mother as General Changsun said, but I have indeed never seen Yang Qin, I don't know where General Changsun's words come from?" ”

Changsun Sheng smiled faintly, and glanced at the Turkic civil and military ministers who were accompanying the banquet in the tent one by one, and when his gaze fell on a hunchbacked minister sitting next to An Suijia, he saw that this person deliberately avoided his gaze, and glanced at Yuwen Praruo with a little nervousness, so he deliberately pointed to this person and asked Yuwen Praruo: "This gentleman is very familiar, but He Dun, can you make an introduction for you?" ”

Yuwen Panruo saw that Changsun Sheng was no longer entangled in the matter of asking for Yang Qin, so he smiled and waved his hand at the man, and introduced Changsun Sheng to him: "He is a high-ranking official (Turkic official name) Jiang Shangyuan, and he is also a Han Chinese. ”

Jiang Shangyuan got up slightly embarrassed and came to Changsun Sheng, and arched his hand and said, "Jiang Shangyuan has seen General Changsun. ”

"Aren't you the ......," Changsun Sheng almost blurted out, "Aren't you Jiang Tuozi, a gardener in the Jin Palace?" When the words came to his lips, he changed it again, "Aren't you the same Mr. Jiang Yuanjiang who once suggested the implementation of the law of tun herding in the Turkic countries?" ”

Just at the moment when Changsun Sheng snorted and changed his words, he found that Jiang Shangyuan's face had changed a few times, and he nodded with a forced smile and said, "It's under the line, so that the general will see and laugh." Uh-huh, a bowl of ...... in General Xiajing"

Changsun Sheng had already seen a hint of disdain from Jiang Shangyuan's reaction, so he turned his head and glanced at Li Jing, who was standing behind him, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, drank it all, no longer paid attention to Jiang Shangyuan, and asked Yongyu Lu: "Since the Great Khan and Ke He Dun both said that they had never seen Yang Qin, it would be the best. Hey, why didn't you see Ye Mohe Khan? ”

Seeing that Changsun Sheng believed his words at least on the surface, Yong Yulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "The territory of Dyeing is in the area of the Duluo River two hundred miles away, and he is probably on his way to Dujin Mountain at this time. What's the matter, General Changsun has something to see him? ”

"It doesn't matter." Changsun Sheng glanced at Yuwen Panruo, and pretended to be an understatement, "It's just that Tuli Khan lived in Chang'an for a few days a few years ago, during which he saw Niangniang many times, and Niangniang knew that he had not yet married a wife, so he ordered to meet Tuli Khan and ask him face to face if he intended to marry a Han woman as his wife." ”

Seeing that Yongyu Lu heard his words, his face turned from his eyes to gloomy, and Changsun Sheng continued: "At the same time, Niangniang is also worried about the good son-in-law of the Great Khan, and specially ordered to bring four Guanzhong women to the Great Khan as maids. I just don't know if the Great Khan can get along with them? As he spoke, he ordered the four women who had come with him to be summoned into the tent, so that Yongyu Lu could look at each other.

This time, Yuwen Panruo couldn't laugh anymore.
