Ezhi Wende continued: "It's that Lu Boya, also because his father died after his mother's death, and the queen who remarried was the daughter of the Western Turkic Datou Khan, and also the aunt of the current Western Turkic monarch Mohe Khan, last year his father died, and after he ascended the throne, the ministers of the country wanted him to marry his stepmother according to the Turkic customs in order to continue to maintain relations with the Western Turks and curry favor with Mohe Khan, and he was unwilling to do such a thing, so he ran to the Great Sui to seek support, is this situation the same as the situation in our Goguryeo?" Although our Goguryeo is not as strong as the Great Sui, it is not so much that the king wants to enter the court as a hostage. ”

Gao Baoyi said with a smile: "Then who made you Goguryeo people also an agricultural country, with a large number of cities and fertile farmland, not like us Turks, you can pack up your tent and run away." The emperor of the Sui Dynasty took a fancy to this, so he would fight your idea, even if he made an excuse, it would be correct, so the Minister of the Yi Dynasty, I think if it was something that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty really decided, you couldn't persuade it. ”

A look of displeasure flashed on Yizhi Wende's face: "So, Mr. Gao and your Great Turk are not willing to help us this time?" ”

Gao Baoyi hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's not that I don't want to help with this, it's just that now I really can't give any guarantee to Minister Yizhi!" As I said just now, it will take half a year at the earliest, after all, Mobei, the Khan Court and your Pyongyang City are also thousands of miles apart, and we are not people who can directly make decisions, we all need our respective lords to make a final confirmation. ”

Yizhi Wende gritted his teeth: "It's not that I don't know this truth, but now the situation is urgent, and it will take half a year to come and go." It is likely that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty has already set out with his entire army. No way. This will have to be known in three or four months. ”

Gao Baoyi was also a little unhappy. He said in a deep voice: "Minister Eulzhi, you are a bit of a strong man, that is, you are now from sending the letter back to Pyongyang, and then immediately bring pig iron over, to complete the transaction near the ** grassland, it will also take about four months, and this transaction is related to millions of catties of pig iron, and the amount is huge." If you don't plan the route and time well, I'm afraid that it will be seized by the Sui Dynasty officials in the Yingzhou area, and then don't say that we Turks will intercede for you, even we Turks themselves must be prepared to deal with the anger of the Sui Dynasty emperor. ”

Yizhi Wende's eyes were shining, as if he was in deep thought, and suddenly, he spoke: "I have a way to shorten the time in between as much as possible, but I need Mr. Gao's cooperation." ”

Gao Baoyi's expression soothed slightly. said: "What is the best way for the Minister of Ulzhi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." As long as it works, I will definitely consider it. ”

Ezhi Wende gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "After leaving the Eastern Capital this time, I will pretend to be a servant of your Turkic people, and follow you back to Saiwai, not to Mobei, but directly to the royal court of the Shibi Khan, and at the same time send people to inform the Dubi Great Special Service and the Great Secret Service of the Lifu respectively, to gather in the Khan's court, and discuss the matter of this pig iron transaction with the Shibi Khan, once the Shibi Khan agrees, then I will go directly back to Goguryeo, and when I go to the Turkic Khan's tent, send my deputy envoy to bring others back to Pyongyang, and report the matter to our king, By the way, let him prepare two million catties of pig iron. ”

"Once the negotiation is settled here, then we will divide the troops into two routes, one way to the ** grassland, or another agreed joint location to receive pig iron, I will go back to Goguryeo to take charge of this pig iron transaction, and the other way, please ask your Great Khan to directly send envoys to the Eastern Capital to intercede for our Goguryeo, and ask the Supreme of the Sui Dynasty not to send troops to conquer Goguryeo. In this way, you can save the most time, what does Mr. Gao think? ”

Gao Baoyi thought about it carefully and said: "This is a way to save time, I believe that with the ability of the Prime Minister of the Ulzhi State, these things will definitely be arranged, but there are still two points that will still go wrong, one is that your Prime Minister of the Ulzhi State is a Goguryeo, and the customs are completely different from my Turkic people, if you want to pretend to be a servant, but you can't speak Turkic Chinese, I am afraid that the news will leak." The second is that our Turks have no contact with you Goguryeo, and I don't know that when the emperor of the Sui Dynasty wants to conquer Goguryeo, he rashly came to intercede, will it make the emperor of the Sui Dynasty suspicious? ”

Without thinking, Eulji Wende suddenly changed to Turkic and said, "I can speak Turkic, and as the deputy minister of Goguryeo, I must be proficient in the languages of our neighbors, so I can speak Chinese, Baekje, Silla, Khitan, and your Turkic languages." ”

Gao Baoyi's face changed slightly: "I didn't expect that Minister Yizhi was proficient in the languages of so many countries, which really surprised me and made me disrespectful." It's just that this second problem seems to be unsolvable. ”

Yizhi Wende's face also changed slightly, and he looked at Wang Shichong: "Wang Shilang, you put forward this idea, what Mr. Gao said is indeed reasonable, do you have any good way to solve this problem?" ”

Wang Shichong already knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason why I asked the Minister of Yizhi to ask for help from the Turks is actually to let the Supreme see that the situation of the Turks is different from when the Qimin Khan was there, and he is no longer willing to be a loyal servant of the Sui Dynasty, at least he needs to be treated equally, otherwise, the Eastern Turks will also unite with Goguryeo or the Western Turks, and it will not be an opponent that he can easily deal with." ”

"If the Supreme really wants to conquer Goguryeo, then he will definitely mobilize troops and horses in Yingzhou outside the Guan, as well as the area of the former Northern Wei Six Towns in the area of Monan, especially Huaiyuan Town and Huaihuang Town in the east, accumulate grain and grass, and even send your Turkic tribal warriors to conscript. Calculating the time, it will be almost a few months later, after all, such a large-scale expedition cannot be done silently. ”

Gao Baoyi nodded again and again when he heard this: "But after all, it was Goguryeo and not the Great Turks, if it is said that these war measures will worry us Turks, so we sent an envoy to apologize and ask the Sui Emperor not to send troops to attack, which can be explained, but why do we intercede for the Goguryeo people?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "As soon as you send a messenger, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty will definitely explain to you, saying that the object of the attack is not you, but Goguryeo, and after he says this, you can make a statement to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, saying that you don't want him to fight Goguryeo." ”

The corners of Gao Baoyi's mouth hooked: "As a vassal state, can we say this?" (To be continued......)
