145 Qimin Khan

On the day that the Silla Baekje envoys arrived in Zhuojun, Changsun Sheng also happened to arrive at the outskirts of the Turkic court.

Changsun Sheng looked at the sunset in the west and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The wind blew gently from the side, and Changsun Sheng suddenly remembered the green years galloping on this grassland, but now he was powerless, maybe this would be his last mission to the Turks, and the grassland eagle of that year was about to die.

Changsun Sheng stared into the distance, and suddenly saw thousands of knights galloping towards this side, and the person at the head was none other than Qimin Khan.

Changsun Sheng recalled his first acquaintance with Dye Gan, obviously he was also much older, half of his beard had turned white, and his gray hair was floating in the wind, and he no longer had the same majesty as before. He, like himself, was already old, and it seemed that this was a rare meeting, and they might be able to sympathize with each other.

"Dye dry knock to see the eldest grandson!" When Changsun Sheng was thinking wildly, Dye Gan had already rushed to the front of the team, then turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee.

"The khan doesn't have to be so polite, we are all holy ministers, and we can perform the same courtesy." Changsun Sheng also hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped him up. Qimin Khan can have today, thanks to Changsun Sheng's support for many years, and he regards Changsun Sheng as his father in his heart.

Changsun Sheng used the Tiele Department to defeat the Turks by encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and it was also his strategy to Emperor Wen of Sui to split the Turks that made the Turks have the current situation, but the Qimin Khan is obviously a vested interest, so every time Changsun Sheng sends an envoy to the Turks, he can enjoy the highest standard of reception, and this time is no exception.

"In front of the eldest grandson, dyeing and drying is always the younger generation." Qimin stood up and said stubbornly, then pulled a young man behind him over, and said in a deep voice, "This is the eldest son of Dyegan." Duji, I came to see the eldest grandson. ”

"Tiger father has no dog son, Teller's achievements are not under Khan." Changsun Sheng nodded, and in front of him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, gorgeously dressed, holding a gold-backed eagle archery bow, with thick eyebrows and blue eyes, a rough appearance, and a burly figure, especially his shoulders were extremely broad.

"Teller" is synonymous with the "prince" of the Central Plains, and Changsun Sheng heard that he was the eldest son, so he naturally knew his status.

"Thank you for the praise of the eldest grandson, and you are good at it." The young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately saluted the eldest grandson.

"The grassland is rough, I don't understand etiquette, forgive the eldest grandson!" Qimin Khan heard his son's wild words and said apologetically.

"It's okay, young people should have this ambition."

Changsun Sheng stepped forward to help Du Ji and waved his hand to Qimin Khan, but his heart was not as calm as his face. In the eyes of Changsun Sheng, Qimin Khan is obviously running out of time, and there is no doubt that the current Jiji will inherit the throne, no matter what his attitude towards the Great Sui will be in the future, it will eventually be a big hidden danger, so won't his efforts in the past 20 years be wasted because of him?

Changsun Sheng, Qimin Khan and others got back on their horses and galloped towards the dyed tooth tent.

"The Son of Heaven's Northern Tour has begun, right? Autumn is also approaching. Dye Gan had obviously roughly guessed the purpose of Changsun Sheng's trip, and then asked tentatively.

"That's right, His Majesty has already set off from the Eastern Capital last month, and now he has arrived in Zhuo County, and it is estimated that he will be able to come here by the middle of next month." Changsun Sheng nodded, and then explained Yang Guang's itinerary and general route.

"Since the Son of Heaven has come from afar, he should be a slave to enter the fortress to welcome the royal driver." When Dye Gan heard that Yang Guang had set off early, he felt a heavy responsibility, and when he thought of the prosperity of the Eastern Capital, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"The reason why the foreign minister came here is to explain to the khan in advance that the scale of His Majesty's trip is unprecedented, and there are many entourages, and the khan can be ready to welcome him here." Changsun Sheng shook his head, the Turkic army is like locusts, even if they surrender to the Great Sui now, they will scare the people of the Great Sui if they enter the fortress.

"Then I will make a good arrangement and send my Teller to lead the way for the Son of Heaven." Qimin Khan heard that Yang Guang had already made arrangements, and he didn't do anything extraneous, but he thought about doing something for Yang Guang.

"This grass is fragrant?" Changsun Sheng was noncommittal, but jumped off the horse and pointed to the nearly human-tall weeds beside the tent of Qimin Khan and asked with a smile.

"Nope." Qimin Khan also dismounted in confusion, and replied puzzled after sniffing it.

"Wherever the Son of Heaven travels, all the princes must personally sweep and rest the royal road to show their sincere reverence for the Son of Heaven; Now the tent is overgrown with weeds, and I thought it was vanilla. Changsun Sheng smiled, the cloud was light, but then he coughed again.

"Thank you for the advice of the eldest grandson, Dye Gan knows what to do." After saying this, Qimin Khan immediately pulled out the golden knife he was equipped with, first cut off a handful of grass, and then raised his knife and shouted, "Pass my order to build a straight road from this to Yulin within half a month to welcome the holy car!" ”

The generals around Qimin Khan agreed with a bang, and Changsun Sheng smiled and nodded, but Ji Ji shook his head hard, desperately holding back tears.

His vision was blurred, and the picture in front of him was too beautiful for him to look at......

Su You had just entered the banquet set by Yang Guang to welcome the foreign guests at this time, and he was able to accompany the last seat not because of his identity as the captain of the polo team, nor because he was a person from Neishi who fished for three days and dried nets for two days, but inexplicably got Yang Guang's invitation, which was of course the reason why he was late.

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, I, the envoy of Baekje, still have one thing to ask for." The Baekje envoy stood up in a daze.

At this time, it was already three rounds of wine, although Su You missed some wonderful content, but he was able to make up for most of the content just now, it was just a greeting and chatting about the scenery of various places, and the confusion of the Baekje envoys meant that the banquet had entered a substantive stage, and most of them came at the invitation of Yang Guang, but there were also those who did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Yang Guang was personable, and he was even more tolerant of foreign envoys.

Su You looked at Yang Guang, Yang Xuan, Liu Jianzhi, and Cui Hongsheng, and these people were inevitably ashamed of their hearts, but Silla Baekje, these foreign friends who had just entered the Bronze Age, felt like a spring breeze for Yang Guang and others' big bellies.

"Goryeo did not abide by the Old Testament, invaded small countries, and had a heart of disobedience; Our lord implores the Emperor of the Great Sui to proclaim justice and blame Goryeo. After saying this, the Baekje envoy had already bowed down solemnly.

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, I, the Silla Kingdom, also ask His Majesty to send troops to defeat Goryeo." The Silla envoy wiped the oil and water from his mouth, and solemnly got up and bowed.

What's going on? They weren't sent by monkeys, were they?

Su You's first thing was yesterday's "Mozi Sword Technique" and all kinds of evidence pointing to Goryeo, and now this Silla Baekje has come together to add fuel to the fire; If this qiē is a big game played by some person with ulterior motives, then that person's energy is too great.

The people who were surprised by this were not only Su You, but also the high-ranking officials of the Great Sui present who expressed their indignation and incomprehensibility at Goryeo's frenzied foreign aggression, but Yang Guang didn't seem to care at all.

"Then it seems that my plan for my northern tour needs to be adjusted somewhat, and the secretaries think that I will leave Zhuojun and cruise east to the white mountains and black waters to deter Goryeo, what is it?" Yang Guang laughed a few times with a bit of complacency, and then asked Su Wei Xiao Cong and other old ministers.

"This ......" The Silla Baekje envoys glanced at each other, Yang Guang This is not the thirty-six plans to save Zhao from Wei and Wei.

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, now that a large area of land in Liaodong has been annexed by Goryeo, my Liaodong tribes are retreating one after another, and it is unbearable." Look at this Great Sui official, you look at me, I look at you, and the chief of the Murwei Department, Mo Heduo, immediately stood up.

"Isn't Goryeo south of the Cheongcheon River?" Yang Guang was shocked, he really couldn't imagine that the outside world had been so chaotic in the past two years.

"Goryeo has long been not satisfied with the boundaries of the past, and now it has expanded its territory year after year; After the defeat of the Khitan by the army for thousands of years, His Majesty left him to fend for himself because of mercy, but Goryeo took the opportunity to cross the Yalu River because of the danger of the Khitan, and now set up Liaodong County on the east bank of the Liao River. Mo Heduo also seemed to know Yang Guang's temper, and analyzed the reality of Goryeo's encroachment on neighboring countries in the past two years.

Mo Heduo looked honest, but his words were a bit exaggerated. With a territory three or four times the size of Goryeo, but a population of less than one-third of Goryeo, Mohedo has no territorial ambitions at the moment, so his greatest wish is to preserve the Khitan buffer zone.

Because of the acquiescence to the international diplomatic strategy of "inbreeding and long-distance attack", Murwei was friendly with the Great Sui, but they secretly supported the Khitan; To the west of Murwei was the Turks, and Moheduo was most worried about the alliance between the Turks and Goryeo, but Murwei was ostensibly subservient to the Turks, and his best plan to destroy this alliance was naturally to involve the Great Sui and curb the expansion of Goryeo.

"Bastard!" Yang Guang listened to Mo Heduo's alarmist words, and was really furious, slapped his palm on the table, and the wine in the copper cup spilled out, he thought of the assassin last night for a while, but slowly calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Goryeo really forgot the covenant of that day, and it is imperative to reaffirm the covenant." Don't worry, the business of Goryeo is on me. ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The leaders or envoys of the various departments in Liaodong got up one after another, and the mountains shouted long live, but the important ministers of the Sui Dynasty present automatically stayed, after all, it was the lord who was worried about the death and humiliation, and everyone's hearts were not very comfortable.

"Send all the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments to discuss the matter of conquering the east." Yang Guang saw that the last foreigner had already gone out, and then ordered the palace man to pass the decree.

"What? Expedition to the East? Listening to Yang Guangyun's light words, the main officials of Honglu Temple, as well as Yuwenshu, Xiao Cong, Pei Yun, Su You and his friends, were shocked at that time.

"Yokona, what do you think?" Yang Guang didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so big, so he immediately smiled awkwardly, and picked Su Youlai, who was the most soft-spoken and least likely to oppose him, as a buffer.

What do I think? I look at your sister!

Su You listened to Yang Guang's inquiry, and he could also understand the meaning of this approach, but he still couldn't help but have some feelings of resistance, scapegoating or something that he hated the most.

"Tell me, the speaker is not guilty." Yang Guang looked at Su You in a daze, and added.

Su You's face changed slightly when he heard Yang Guang finish saying the words "The speaker is not guilty", but since the emperor is magnanimous, he can't show that he is sweating and not daring to tremble, isn't it?

Su You looked at Yang Guang's step-by-step persuasion, but still chose to trust his intuition, which is also the innocence of a scholar.
