Ezhi Wende said coldly: "But no matter what, these pig iron will always pass through their area and territory into Mobei, will the Lifu Special Service and Shibi Khan watch this pig iron pass through their territory?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "Minister Yizhi, you are a little worried, in the past, when the three princes were also working together to do this pig iron transaction, the pig iron obtained was divided equally among the three families, so it does not hurt the harmony." This time you can also use this mode, as long as you don't carry Shibi Khan and the Great Agent of Liver, and greet them in advance. ”

Yizhi Wende's brows furrowed slightly: "In this way, as long as the pig iron provided to the Mobei Turkic family is now provided to three, the supply will also increase greatly, and the scale of the caravan has expanded a lot at once, but I am afraid that the risk of exposure will also increase." ”

Gao Baoyi said with a smile: "Mr. Yizhi don't have to worry too much, according to our Turkic customs, the camp in the four seasons is not fixed, and the grassland needs to be changed according to the change of the season, and the Khan Court will also hold a general meeting every year to invite the special services and Jinjin of the major tribes to come, so as long as we reach an agreement, send someone to follow the tribe of the great special service of Lifu, and when he arrives in the eastern part of the ** grassland, you will pass through the Khitan tribe and come to his tribe to carry out this pig iron transaction, and prepare the amount of goods of the three families at one time. As for the things we distribute internally, it's our own business. ”

Eulzhi Wende nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm completely relieved, as the minister of Goguryeo, I still have this authority, but since we are talking about business today, what I said above is all about pig iron transactions that are beneficial to you Turks." But what we Goguryeo wanted. But you haven't been able to give me a letter. ”

Gao Baoyi's brows furrowed slightly: "What does Prime Minister Yizhi want?" As long as you can provide pig iron. Then we will definitely undress and help within the scope of permission. ”

Yizhi Wende glanced at Wang Shichong and said, "Didn't Wang Shilang tell Mr. Gao about our request?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It's not in a hurry, today I originally wanted the two of you to get acquainted with it and get closer to each other, after all, such a big deal between two countries, especially one involving pig iron, is not something that can be discussed casually." However, the two of you have a very smooth conversation today, and the progress is beyond my expectations, and then the Minister of State can convey your country's request to Mr. Gao. ”

Eulzhi Wende coughed lightly twice and said, "Our request is very simple, in addition to the pig iron to be paid according to the price of your trade with the Western Regions, we also want to ask you Turks to intercede with the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty for us, and ask him not to attack our Goguryeo." ”

Gao Baoyi was slightly stunned: "The emperor of the Sui Dynasty wants to attack your Goguryeo?" Are you sure? Why didn't I hear this at all? ”

Yizhi Wende sneered: "Doesn't Mr. Gao know that the Great Sui has now excavated a Grand Canal that is thousands of miles long from Jiangnan to Zhuo County in the north, which is the original Youzhou?" And now the Grand Canal of Guò has begun to transport grain, grass and ordnance to the area of Zhuo County. It's not to deal with us Goguryeo, it's to prepare to deal with you Turks. ”

Although Gao Baoyi had heard Wang Shichong mention this before. But he still didn't expect that the Grand Canal had been dug so quickly, and he was taken aback, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Wang Shichong: "Brother Wang, is this matter serious?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "The canal has been dug up, and this year began to increase the national taxes, especially the rice grain in the south of the Yangtze River began to be transported to Zhuo County, not long ago after the Supreme came back from the west, he also personally took the dragon boat from the east capital to Zhuo County to go back and forth, in order to test the depth and traffic volume of the newly dug canal, the result made him very satisfied, although this is not necessarily really for the attack on Goguryeo, but we all know that the excavation of the canal is for large-scale transportation of grain and troops, and now the western part of the Great Sui has been stabilized, If you want to use troops again, the biggest possibility is that Goguryeo in the northeast has not surrendered. ”

Gao Baoyi hooked the corners of his mouth: "But if this is something that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty has made up his mind, it is not easy for us to persuade him, and besides, our family's big secret service is not the first Khan, even if he wants to speak, it will not be his turn." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "So this pig iron transaction must be pulled up by Shibi Khan, just now the Minister of Yizhi said a little well, now Prince Jiji has become a khan, maybe the thirst for this pig iron is not as huge as before, at least he is unwilling to risk turning his face with the Great Sui for this, so to persuade Shibi Khan to accept this transaction, he must need a big secret service to help, his status in the Turks is still very high, Shibi Khan will also sell him this face, if it is a big secret service repeatedly pleaded, Bordering the Khitan and Xi tribes, and the constant friction and conflict, the special service of Lifu will definitely join in the persuasion, which will make Shibi Khan make up his mind. ”

Gao Baoyi nodded: "Brother Wang is reasonable, then according to your meaning, this deal, it is still up to our family's big special service to persuade Shibi Khan, but before the matter is completed, it is better to be cautious in this matter." ”

Etozhi Wende's face that had been tense finally stretched out a little, like a person in the dark suddenly saw a glimmer of light, and he hurriedly asked, "So, how long will it take to get results?" ”

Gao Baoyi smiled: "Well, it won't take too long, I will leave for Mobei tomorrow, and I will be there in about a month, and then tell our big secret service, he will personally go to the royal court in Monan to discuss this matter with Shibi Khan, and by the way, he will call the Lifu special service, which will be about a month in total, if you send someone to inform you of Goguryeo, the messenger will go from the royal court to your capital Pyongyang City, that is, two months." You prepare pig iron and complete the deal with us, which is the end of the year, and when we send people to pay tribute next year, we can give advice to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed on Eulzhi Wende's face: "It's going to be more than half a year, I'm afraid that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty will already make up his mind by then, this time I came to congratulate him as an ambassador and congratulate him on his successful defeat of Goguryeo and Yiwu, but he has an extremely cold attitude towards me, and instead blames our Goguryeo king for not coming in person." Damn, isn't this just deliberately looking for trouble, so many tributary countries and small states, except for the king of the Gaochang country, Lu Boya, which one is the king or monarch who came in person?
