Chapter 133: Peace

Yang Su didn't care, he failed twice before and after, Dulank Khan no longer had the strength to control the Eastern Turks, and it is difficult to say whether he could still stabilize the position of the Eastern Turk Khan. So it doesn't matter whether to chase and kill Dulan Khan or not.

In the middle of December 4, Dulan Khan was killed by his subordinates, and Datou established himself as Bujia Khan, and the territory was in turmoil, and his people took refuge in Qimin, and the north was controlled by Qimin Khan. Datou Khan asked the Sui Dynasty to surrender.

Emperor Wen handed over the negotiation power with Datou Khan to Yang Su, and Yang Su took Emperor Wen's will to meet with Datou Khan on the shore of Tianma Lake, and Gao Chong, who had already become a general, accompanied the army.

The negotiations were still conducted in a relatively friendly atmosphere, but in the end the two sides disagreed on the repatriation of the personnel, with the Great Sui demanding that the Turks return all the captured people of Youzhou, while the Turks demanded the return of all the 50,000 captured Turkic soldiers.

Yang Su believes that these 50,000 people are not ordinary people, but belong to soldiers, and it is already grace not to slaughter them all, and they must go to the most difficult place in the Great Sui to serve hard labor, in order to atone for their sins, it is impossible to put them back!

What do you put it back for? This is 50,000 elite soldiers, do you have the power to invade my borders again? Don't!

As a result, the two sides broke up unhappily.

Yang Sufeiying summoned the imperial court, and Emperor Wen replied: The people can return it to them, but they will use 500,000 cattle and 500,000 sheep as compensation.

A million heads of cattle and sheep are more than two million taels of silver at current prices, and if they are bought with money, it is definitely a large amount, but now there are Turks who have sent them as compensation, high.

Cattle and sheep are not precious as the food of the Turks, and you people take away your food, and you still have the heart to make trouble? The Turkic soldiers with empty stomachs were able to beat the Sui army, which was well fed? As long as you're making trouble, I'm going to slaughter you all, high!

Of course, it is impossible to tell the Turks directly: you can directly use cattle and sheep to replace people, after negotiations, one million cattle and sheep will be reduced by 800,000, and they will be cleared in two parts, and now they will give one batch first, and then give the second batch after the ewes give birth in May next year.

At the same time, Datou Khan recognized the Sui government's rule over the Eastern Turks, accepted the coronation of the Sui Dynasty, and went to the Sui Dynasty every year to meet the Great Sui Emperor, etc., Gao Chong was dizzy when he saw it.

Looking at the sea of words, these civil officials studied and analyzed word by word, Gao Chong sighed, no wonder he said: It is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to govern the country, just a small negotiation is a headache, it seems that Lao Tzu will pay attention to the cultivation of strategists in the future.

After nearly half a month of negotiations, the two sides finally signed in a friendly atmosphere, and the signing representative of the Great Sui was Pei Ju, the waiter of the Inner History.

That night, Datou Khan held a grand bonfire party on the shore of Tianma Lake to entertain Yang Su and others, Turkic beauties dressed in costumes sang and danced, and all the soldiers made a peaceful scene.

Gao Chong didn't look happy at all.

Dong Ping said: "Big brother has something on his mind? ”

Gao Chong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and whispered: "Now that there is a song and dance, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, it will be another sword fight." ”

Dong Ping's expression was solemn, "Big brother thinks Datou Khan is not honest?" ”

Gao Chong smiled, in history, Dulan Khan was killed, Datou Khan set up Bujia Khan, although nominally made peace with the Sui Dynasty, but in April of the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, under the pretext of offering cattle and sheep, he led his troops to invade the Sui side. Emperor Wen ordered Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Yang Su out of Lingzhou, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Shi Wansui, the general of Shangda, to go out of Shuozhou and attack Bujia Khan together. Shi Wansui led Zhang Dinghe, the generals Li Yaowang, and Yang Yichen out of the fortress, and the army went to Dajin Mountain, where they encountered the Bujia Khan army.

After Shi Wansui returned to Beijing from Dajin Mountain, Yang Su was jealous of his merits, and told Shi Wanzai in front of Emperor Wen, saying: The Turks have surrendered, and they are not originally in the Kou, but just grazing. Therefore, his merits were concealed and no credit was given. Shi Wansui stated several times that Emperor Wen of Sui had not yet woken up. In the end, Shi Wansui angered Emperor Wen and was finally killed.

Thinking of this history for nothing else, Shi Wansui was a powerful person who worshiped the general, and he was killed because he was involved in the dispute between the princes, and Shi Wansui was one of Gao Yu's descendants. Although Yang Su has a good relationship with Gao Yu, but in the matter of Lichu, Yang Su is still optimistic about the King of Jin, and finally supported the King of Jin with practical actions, the impeachment of Shi Banzai is just following Emperor Wen's thoughts, at this point Yang Su is more thorough than Gao Yu, Gao Yu is not incomprehensible, but is confused by some illusions, I really think that I, the first power of the Great Sui, can influence the emperor's mind, but in fact, I forget that your rights are given by the emperor, and Gao Yu was actually killed in the end because of his own arrogance.

Gao Chong didn't know if Gao Chong's resignation would be able to get out of the whirlpool of the dispute between the emperor and the prince, and he didn't know if Shi Wansui would be able to escape next year, he was thinking about what he should do?

50,000 elite Turkic soldiers were returned to Datou Khan, but 800,000 cattle and sheep were taken away, and the Turks without food would be safe? Although this is nothing to the entire Eastern Turks, it can be used as an excuse for Datou Khan to encourage the Eastern Turks to fight against the Great Sui. Otherwise, why did Datou Khan have to exchange these 50,000 people? It can't be a pet, right?

Up to now, he has not been able to get in touch with Yang Guang, the future Emperor Yang of Sui, and there is less than a year to go, the dispute between the prince and the prince will be settled, and he will not contact him before Yang Guang is not developed, lay a good foundation, and wait for him to sit on the throne of the East Palace, and run over by himself, first, how will Yang Guang see himself, and secondly, even if Yang Guang accepts himself, he will not regard himself as a confidant, and sooner or later he will inevitably be stabbed.

From today's singing and dancing, Gao Chong thought of next year's events and the battle of the East Palace? What to do? It's obviously a matter of the emperor's family, what are you civil and military ministers doing with it? Make Lao Tzu so embarrassed?

Gao Chong whispered, "It's just a fantasy." "With a slight touch of his chin, he was drinking and talking happily to Datou Khan and Yang Su.

Dong Ping laughed and said, "Big brother, isn't it a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions?" The eldest brother is now a general, and after a few more battles, the eldest brother can be promoted to another level. ”

According to the Great Sui military system, the generals belong to the lowest level of generals, which is the ninth grade, and then promoted to the eighth rank of the general in the palace, but Gao Chong is in the frontier, so his establishment promotion level is different from the local, the partial general is still the ninth grade, Gao Chong is promoted to the next level, but he is already the champion general of the sixth grade, which is why those who have aspirations are running to the frontier, as long as you have real skills, dare to kill and fight, the promotion is very fast, in the locality, the six-grade officer will also lead five thousand soldiers, and in the frontier, the six-rank military general can lead 10,000 soldiers, In times of war, the maximum number of troops that can be led is 20,000, which means that you can lead troops alone, and if the situation is special, small soldiers can also be generals.

However, it is also a special case at this point, and then it is the same as the locality, and then it really belongs to a heavy general, and in the leapfrog promotion, the emperor can not sit steadily, this regulation is to give those who have aspirations a chance to develop.
