ps: Thank you book friends for wanting to write, Lan Zhiyu 11's monthly ticket support, thank you for the encouragement of the book friend's gun.

Wei Zheng sighed, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes: "Lord, although it is said that this is a last resort in order to seize the world, but Hebei is my hometown after all, watching the fathers and villagers there suffer like this, my heart, this heart is really not a taste." ”

Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "The world will be chaotic, everywhere is the same, it is not only your hometown in Hebei, Yang Guang's first target is not Goguryeo, but Tuyuhun in the west, the world's ruins and ruins, will start from Longyou Guanzhong, and then go to Hebei and the Central Plains." ”

Wei Zheng wiped away the few tears he had just squeezed out with his sleeve and asked, "What?" Are you going to war with Tuyuhun? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "This is an inevitable thing, last time since Yulin entered the fortress, Pei Shiju volunteered to go to the Western Regions, lobbying in the countries of the Western Regions, trying to exaggerate the strength and richness of Middle Earth, so that the monarchs of dozens of countries in the Western Regions are envious, and they have sent envoys to the court to pay tribute, from Longxi to the counties in Guanzhong, every day to receive the envoys of these countries, ushering in the send-off, arranging accommodation, the money consumed, more than half a year has reached hundreds of millions, and the taxes of each county are almost all posted on this entertainment. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes widened: "Is it so exaggerated?" Dozens of envoys can eat up dozens of counties in Kansai? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "None of these people came alone, they all listened to Pei Shiju's bragging, thinking that the Central Plains was full of gold, so all countries formed business groups." There are dozens or hundreds of people. There are more than 1,000 of them. In the name of paying tribute to the Great Sui by the official envoys, along the way, they offered some of the most ordinary local products, raisins, camels, spices, etc., which were not of much value, but these people ate, drank and lodging all the way. All of them were received by the official for free, and after arriving in the Eastern Capital, Yang Guang would generously reward them with the silk and tea they most hoped for, alas, to be honest, I saw that these people could make so much money, as a businessman, they were a little red-eyed. ”

Wei Zheng sneered: "No conspiracy tyrant, greedy and excessive, and so happy." It is a waste of national strength, but it is only self-destruction. But the lord. There is one thing I still don't understand, Pei Shiju is now a very popular minister, why did he follow us and work so hard to overthrow Yang Guang? Supposedly, if a new dynasty is established, there is no possibility for him to be richer than he is now. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Xuancheng, you have misunderstood this causal relationship, if Pei Hongda hadn't mentioned such a building, then Yang Guang would not have reused him at all, with Pei Hongda's qualifications and his background in this family, in this court of seniority, it is impossible to climb to the current official department and Huangmen waiter, and master the position of confidentiality, to Yang Guang's ambition to become the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "I see, so only by instigating Yang Guang to go to war everywhere can Pei Shiju's wealth be guaranteed, right?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "That's right, Pei Shiju is also a person who is unwilling to sink, if Yang Guang's country is stable, he can naturally enjoy his glory and wealth, but in case the sky shakes and Yang Guang's country collapses, he can also turn to Lord Ming in a timely manner, and he can still surrender the family." ”

Wei Zheng frowned: "Then will he definitely throw himself into the lord in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "It's hard to say, now Pei Hongda and I are allies, not subordinates of superiors and subordinates, he is not the same as Dou Jiande, Xu Gai, Xue Ju and Xiao Miao, the four allies who want to fight a piece of the world in the troubled times, he is not only a great minister in Yang Guang's tyranny, but also a fish in water in the troubled times, if he can choose, I am afraid that I hope that the current life can be maintained." It's just that Pei Shiju is also a smart person, he should know that according to Yang Guang's approach, Da Sui will be finished sooner or later, so I know that Xuan Cheng is worried that Pei Hong will betray me for the sake of wealth, but I am not worried about this at all, not because of how relieved Pei Shiju's character is, but for him, he must leave a way out for himself. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "So, if there are troubled times in the future, he will definitely come to seek great things with the lord?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Since it is a troubled time, it is the heroes of all parties who divide one side, if I personally eliminate Yang Guang, of course he will throw himself to me, but if Yang Guang is eliminated by others, he may turn to others, it doesn't matter, in the troubled times, it is normal to choose the master and serve." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "I understand, from now on, Wei will not say anything more to the lord about Pei Shiju, so as not to affect the lord's judgment." ”

Wang Shichong stood up with a smile, looked at Wei Zheng, and took his hand: "Xuan Cheng, in fact, I feel quite guilty for you, I have been with me for so many years, and I have never been able to get you an official and a half-position, so that you still condescend to be my butler Wang Shichong, I am really ashamed of you, why don't I talk to Pei Shiju and let him help you find a six- or seven-grade official, how about it?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Since I have made up my mind to follow the lord to make a career, I don't expect to seek any official position in Yang Guang's court, his world will not last long, this is Wei's judgment, besides, if Wei goes out as an official, there will be less such discussions with the lord, and it is not very convenient to run for the lord, thank you for the lord's kindness." ”

Wang Shichong sighed in his heart and patted Wei Zheng's shoulder: "It is my Wang Shichong's luck to be able to get Xuancheng's help." By the way, the caravans from the countries of the Western Regions that I just mentioned entered the customs, and some of them were still robbed by Tuyuhun from time to time when Guan Longyi took away the southern route, so this time Pei Shiju went to the Western Regions non-stop, preparing to find the Tiele people to attack Tuyuhun. ”

Wei Zheng said suspiciously: "Tiele people? Why not use the Great Sui's own military power? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Many of Tuyuhun's current forces have expanded to the vicinity of the Western Regions, and the armies of the countries in the Western Regions are not good at fighting strength. And the soldiers of the small country are only a few thousand. There are only more than 10,000 large countries. It is completely impossible to confront the Tuyuhun people who have tens of thousands of cavalry and come and go without a trace, and only the Tiele people, who are also born on horseback, are the best helpers to deal with them. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "I heard that last year, General Feng Xiaoci, an old friend of the lord, led 20,000 soldiers to patrol outside the Yumen Pass, and was attacked by the Tiele troops, suffered heavy losses, and died 5,000 in battle. Wounded 8,000 people and defeated in the pass, what is going on? ”

Wang Shichong said solemnly: "This matter is a temptation of the Western Turkic Chuluo Khan to our Great Sui, that Chuluo was a Khan for a few years, and he also felt that his wings were stiff, and after knowing that Yang Guang was so foolish, he thought that the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains was weak and bulliful, so he wanted to try to beat it, he did not dare to directly dispatch the troops of the Turkic headquarters, but secretly ordered the Tiele tribe that was captured and enslaved by the Datou Khan. Sneak attack on Feng Xiaoci. ”

"Although Feng Xiaoci's department is a temporary requisition of government soldiers in the Guanlong area, its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the troops on Fanshang. It was a surprise attack again, but still killed and injured the other party as high as more than 20,000, and the Khan of Chuluo also knew that the Great Sui army was strong, and he did not dare to make a time, and later sent a messenger to enter the court in the name of the Tiele people to apologize, Yang Guang was in a good mood, and they were exempted from their sins, and also sent Pei Shiju to comfort the Tiele people, I expect Pei Shiju to persuade the Tiele people this time to attack Tuyuhun. ”

Wei Zheng let out a sigh of relief: "I see, the Tiele people are brave and good at fighting, and they are a nation that grew up on horseback, and they have no advantage in fighting with the Han army in our Central Plains, but it must not be a big problem to deal with the Tuyuhun people." It's just that in this way, Yang Guang doesn't have to send an army to conquer Tuyuhun. ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "Xuancheng, you are only afraid of underestimating Tuguhun, they will definitely survive to the day when they are the first object of Yang Guang's official personal oath." ”

Wei Zheng's face changed: "Oh, lord, I don't know much about the situation in Tuyuhun, but I just know that they are a mixed Qiang and Di people in the Hehuang region, why, is it even more difficult to deal with than the Turks?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Then I'll tell Xuan Cheng about this Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun is actually surnamed Murong, but he is the same clan of the Murong clan Xianbei who used to dominate Liaodong, the founder of the Murong tribe Murong Shegui, he has a bunch of sons, among which the eldest son is the father of Murong Jun, who later entered the Central Plains, dominated the Kanto region, and established the Qianyan Empire, and the founder of Murong Xianbei, Murong Diao, and this person's eldest brother, that is, his eldest brother, is called Murong Tuyuhun. ”

"Murong Tuyuhun's talent is not lower than his younger brother, originally according to the customs of the Hu people, he did not recognize the distinction between the chiefs, and the head of the tribe should also be his turn, but the Murong clan has always been deeply influenced by the Central Plains, so he chose the eldest son to inherit, this Murong Tuyuhun can only be subordinated to his younger brother, and according to the customs of the Hu people, he has divided more than 1,000 accounts and is independent, which is for the Tuyuhun tribe."

"As a result, the herdsmen of the Tuyuhun tribe clashed with the herdsmen of the Murong tribe when they were herding horses, and as a result, this Murong Tuyuhun was angry, and moved away with the tribe, and left a message to his younger brother, thousands of miles away from you, and will never attack, so this tribe moved from Liaodong to the area of Caohan in the Western Jin Dynasty, and settled down."

These Tuyuhun people from the northern nomadic barbarians, combat effectiveness than the local Qiang people, much stronger, soon with the strength of more than 1,000 tents, conquered the local tens of thousands of Qiang people, established a nomadic country, to Murong Tuyuhun grandson, officially with his grandfather's name as the country name, called Tuyuhun, after six to eight generations of development, this Tuyuhun has been according to Gan, Qingjian east to Taohe, Longgu (now Songpan, Sichuan Province), west to Chishui, Bailan, north of the Yellow River, south to Dajishi Mountain. The place is thousands of miles, the population is hundreds of thousands, there are tens of thousands of cavalry, and he once captured the Xiongnu regime established by Helian Bobo - Helian Ding, the last monarch of Huxia, and the combat effectiveness is okay, and the Turks are not good to compare, and most of them can't beat the Tiele people who have more than 100,000 fierce cavalry, but on the Silk Road in Longxi, rob caravans, sneak attack the garrison, and keep disgusting you, you can still do it. ”

Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, the Tuyuhun people should be a foreign regime that rules the majority of the Qiang people with a small number of Xianbei people from the north, right?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "That's right, but the Xianbei people, that is, the Tuyuhun headquarters, have been intermarrying with the upper-class nobles of the Qiang people for many years, so their ruling foundation is still quite strong, and the integration is also good." ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "My lord, the Qiang people are a settled people, most of them farm, and they build cities and live, while the Xianbei people are a typical nomadic way of life, living by water and grass, this integration process, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "It's not as difficult as you think, the Qiang people are only half-cultivated and half-pasted, the land of the river is mostly a plateau, the air is thin, and the aquatic grass and farmland are not easy to produce, so they can only be half-cultivated and half-pasted, the level of the Xianbei people's herding horses is extremely high, and the Qiang people can also teach the Xianbei people to farm and farm, so for hundreds of years, Tuyuhun is also wandering, although some cities have been built, but like those palaces of Yang Guang, and very lived, only when it is impossible to be nomadic and the frost and snow fall, will temporarily live in these cities, When the warm snow disappears in the spring of the next year, I will continue to go to nomadism. ”

Wei Zheng's eyebrows moved: "I understand what the lord means, do you want to say that although this Tiele people can defeat Tuyuhun, but because Tuyuhun is too big, and he is uncertain, he has no fixed residence, so he can't eliminate it?" ”

Wang Shi nodded meaningfully: "Yes, the Tiele people are fighting for profit, Tuyuhun is not like my Great Sui, with developed commerce and rich gold and silver taxes, all they have, that is, cattle and sheep, Tiele people were driven from the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions to fight against Tuyuhun, even if they win, they will be satisfied with grabbing tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and they will definitely not track and kill Tuyuhun." At that time, Tuyuhun suffered a loss in the west, and he would definitely use the usual tricks of these barbarians to deal with the Central Plains Dynasty, pretending to ask for attachment, in fact, he hoped that Yang Guang would give them more money, grain, cattle and sheep to make up for the loss. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Then take advantage of the opportunity given by these Tuyuhun people to rush to the east, Yang Guang will drive the expedition in person, mobilize a large army to round up Tuyuhun, and fully live an expedition against the barbarians, just the addiction of escaping at night, right?" ”

Wang Shi stroked his beard with interest: "This is inevitable, the last tour of Xing Saiwai was a drill, subduing the Turks is a purpose, and seeing what an army of hundreds of thousands is like is also a purpose." This time, I found Tuyuhun, who was not too strong, to practice his hands, and it could be regarded as a warm-up for the future conquest of Goguryeo. (To be continued......) R1292
