On the Siyu Tower in the garden, Wang Shichong leaned on the railing independently, and the cool night breeze blew his beard, but his expression at this time was extremely relaxed, Wei Zheng stood behind him and said with a smile: "Lord, why did you mention Yì Li Mi to the Turks this time?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This guy doesn't want an official position, he has been wandering around in the past few years, and he is running his own forces, so he can't be so comfortable, otherwise he will mess up our plans if he is not careful, and we have to let Yang Guang help us take care of this kid." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and continued: "Then the lord said to Yang Guang again and sent Feng Lun there, what does this mean?" In fact, even if you don't mention it, Yu Shiji will definitely recommend Feng Lun. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "If Yu Shiji recommends it, Yang Guang may have doubts about using it, because Feng Lun is a person with a criminal record and a close confidant of Yu Shiji, Yang Guang may not fully delegate power, but if I, an enemy, also recommend it, then Yang Guang will definitely feel that there is no problem." To be honest, Li Mi may not be able to do this when he goes to the Turks, but Feng Lun now knows the relationship between the Turks and Goguryeo, and I mentioned to Yang Guang that he wants to collect information through Princess Guò Nayicheng, and he will definitely be able to live up to his mission. ”

Wei Zheng's brows furrowed slightly: "But in this way, it is equivalent to transferring the intelligence lines that Changsun Sheng left in the Turks before to Feng Lun to grasp, which will be very unfavorable to our future actions." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "There are no absolutes in the world, I didn't want to have too deep a relationship with these foreign races, when the three princes were not on the throne before, I needed to trade pig iron with them to maintain the relationship." Now the situation has changed. Whether it is the Western Turks or Goguryeo. It is unlikely that it will be used as a source of pig iron for them in the future, and the troubled times are coming, no matter what conditions are offered to the Turks now, they will not be able to satisfy their appetite in the future, so it is not a bad thing to take advantage of the present to cut off contact with the Turks. ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "It's just that now the strength of the Turks has almost recovered, and the troubled times have begun." It will inevitably be the force that will influence the pattern of the world, will we really give up like this? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "These three princes of the Turks are not people like Maodun Khan, their sphere of influence is on the grassland, and they do not have the idea of moving south and entering the Central Plains like the Xianbei people did before, so after the real troubled times come, they will borrow some soldiers to a few secession regimes, and it is okay to fight a few battles for a short time, but they need hundreds of thousands of cavalry to go south into the Central Plains." Establish your own regime, that is simply impossible. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Lord." I don't agree with you on this matter, people's ambitions will change with the change of conditions, now the Turks are facing the powerful Sui Dynasty, naturally they will not have this idea, it would be good to get rid of self-reliance, but once the Central Plains was in turmoil, they achieved unification, so why can't they enter the Central Plains like the barbarians in the Five Hu Chaos in China? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuancheng, then you sued me about those Xianbei Hu people who went south when the Five Hu Chaos was in China, are there still those now?" All of them have become Henan people. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The words are good, but these Xianbei people have got rid of the nomadic life of the grassland, and now they are no different from the Han people, isn't this better than drinking wind and eating sand on the grassland?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The Hu people have no national fortune for a hundred years, and their way of governing on the grassland will not work at all in the Central Plains, because the vast Central Plains land is not a tribe on the grassland, but cities and villages everywhere, only by relying on the Han people's strength and landlords, can they be effectively governed. The lower class of rural folk need these small and medium-sized landlords to manage each Wubi fort or each village, and the Hu people can only be used as a standing army. ”

"And when the Hu people left the prairie and lost the place where they could graze their horses and practice riding and archery, their strength would continue to decline, and generally after a few decades, the advantages of these forces would no longer exist, which is why the Hu dynasty from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty collapsed very quickly, and Han clans like Yang Jian were able to seize power in the end."

"When the Turks were the strongest before, it was the period of the wooden pole Khan, when he weighed the pros and cons and disadvantages, he did not impulsively choose to enter the Central Plains, this is the reason, first, the governance model on the grassland does not work in the Central Plains, and secondly, once the tribe enters the Central Plains, then the steppe will definitely be occupied by new forces, just as after the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, the grassland will be controlled by Rouran, so as long as the dynasty of the Central Plains can continue to provide the grassland overlord with the daily necessities they need, These steppe overlords do not necessarily need to enter the Central Plains on their own. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "What the lord said is extremely true, but on the other hand, once the Central Plains is unified, after the emergence of a strong dynasty, it is impossible to bow to the overlord of the grassland, for example, when the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were fighting, in order to win over the Turks, the two families competed to borrow troops from the Turkic vassals, and the wooden pole Khan Chengtian you said meant that the emperors of these two dynasties were his two sons in the south, for him to eat and wear, so that the Turks had no worries about food and clothing, but once the Northern Zhou Dynasty was unified, it quickly transitioned to the Great Sui, and the emperor immediately counterattacked the Turks when he ascended the throne, fought for twenty years, and even in turn completely defeated the Turks, and then surrendered, didn't the Turks take this into account? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This is the second question I want to say, back then, the Xianbei people could move south, a very important reason is that they have been operating on the grassland for hundreds of years, and have a strong organization and cohesion, in addition to the Tuoba clan's own clan, as well as the close relatives of the Changsun tribe, they can also bring hundreds of servant tribes to the south together, that Rouran founded the Khan Mugulu, but a Tuoba clan's fugitive riding slave, it can be seen that there are not too many tribes left on the grassland at that time." ”

"But the current Turks do not have the control power of the Tuoba clan Xianbei back then, only the headquarters of the three princes, who control more than a dozen or even dozens of small tribes, such as the Tiele people, the Khitan, and the Xi people, and they do not respect the orders of the Turks."

"Even the Dubi special service in Mobei is now going to fight everywhere all day long to pacify those restless Tiele people, so even if they intend to enter the Central Plains, it is impossible for them to move their clans, because once they forcibly go south, not to mention whether they can gain a foothold in the Central Plains, these thousands of miles of grassland will definitely be lost to the enemy, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will not be able to stay, and the grassland hometown will not be able to go back, then it will really be crying without tears."
