Wang Huaqiang didn't answer, pacing back and forth, but his heart began to calculate quickly.

Dividing and disintegrating the Turks should be the long-term national policy of the Great Sui now, and peace and affinity are one way, but trade should also be achieved. The Turks lacked basic daily necessities, and could not even make pots and pans, so they could only import them from the Central Plains.

But in this way, it also gave Wang Huaqiang the possibility of smuggling trade, which in turn triggered the resistance and dissatisfaction of the various ministries against Ashina's headquarters, and now the Turks, Dulan Khan's prestige has plummeted, and more and more tribes have rebelled against him.

Wang Huaqiang thought of his last trip to the Turks, starting from Daizhou, on the way to the Yinshan Khanting, passing through more than a dozen large and small tribes, all of which were tribes from Ashina, and also those servant tribes that were most loyal to the Khan's headquarters, and the disgruntled, rebellious, and powerful tribes like Dyingan were placed far away in the bitter cold land north of the desert, and it was through this method that they could isolate their contact with the Han people, reduce their possibility of obtaining Han goods, and make them only obediently submit to the Dulan Khan.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang said to An Suiyu: "In the past, when I was in the Turks, did those tribes in the south near the Sui Dynasty trade privately with the Han people? ”

An Suiyu shook his head: "No, those were all separated from the Khan's headquarters before, and many of them were half-brothers of the previous Khans. Also the most loyal to the Khan. These tribes could receive Sui rewards from the Great Khan's headquarters at the original price. Why bother engaging in smuggling? ”

Wang Huaqiang then asked: "Then there are no servant tribes in the north, or small tribes that are not so obedient, who take the initiative to come to the south to trade with the Great Sui?" ”

An Suiyu's expression became serious: "Okay, do you really want to do smuggling business with the Turks?" Have you forgotten the lesson from last time? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "It's not the same thing, last time I smuggled pig iron banned by the imperial court to the Turks, and the purpose was also to show favor to the Turks, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and now this matter has passed." I just want to smuggle this time, and also divide and disintegrate the Turks, this is something that the court is too late to be happy about, how can you punish me? ”

An Suiyu's expression softened slightly, but she still didn't let go completely, she said: "But this will offend the Turkic Khan, and no matter what, the Turks are my mother state after all, although I hate the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of the Dulan Khan, I don't want to see it perish." ”

Wang Huaqiang knew that he should start performing again at this time. He fixed his mind and said, "Ayu's words are wrong. Even if we send or smuggle these daily necessities to the Turks, it is beneficial to the ordinary Turkic people, and it is not a collaborator and traitor. ”

An Suiyu took a step back and sneered: "You are a Sui person, so naturally say so, but I only know that if we Turks do not have a strong Great Khan, then we will be allowed to be bullied and slaughtered by you Han people, if there is no co-master on the grassland, there will be continuous attacks and killings between various tribes, this is what you Han people need." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Then have you thought about it, why do we unify the Great Sui Sea, but not like your Turks, who are constantly fighting in all directions, even if there is a great khan, the small tribes have never stopped the conquest?" ”

An Suiyu was speechless for a while, this question has been bothering her since she was sensible, but she can't explain it reasonably.

Wang Huaqiang said slowly: "The reason is very simple, that is, because of the way of life of your Turkic people, you don't do farming, you don't do production, you only rely on the sky for food, hunting and grazing, the population is large, and the original grassland is not enough, so the various tribes will fight for each other, which is the real reason why you keep attacking and killing on the grassland." ”

An Suiyu nodded: "It seems to be true, I see that you Han people are settled and cultivated, so that the annual land output can ensure that no one dies of hunger, and there is really no need to fight for it like on our grassland. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Therefore, our Han people store the old grain, and they can open a warehouse to release grain in hungry years." When I was Turkic, I saw that you would also marinate the meat and use it as bacon, but this could solve the urgent need for a while, but it could not cope with the increase in population or the disaster that lasted for several years, so the more unified and stable the Han people were, the stronger they became, and you Turks had more people, or suffered disasters, and if you didn't have anything to eat, you could only rob them everywhere. ”

"Ayu, you are also from an ordinary herdsman, you should know that ordinary Turkic people live a hard life, they are already very happy to be able to wear our Han cloth clothes, eat and sleep on the grassland, and often have to starve, the root of these is that you grassland people rely on the sky to eat, and their production capacity is not good."

An Suiyu said unconvinced: "But why can you Han people be fed and clothed, and we Turks can only live this kind of upside-down life?" You also know that the vast prairie of the road is simply not able to open up the wasteland and farm like you in the Guannei, and we also want to settle, but the grass on the grassland is simply not like the crops of your Han people, you Han people can harvest crops, but our cattle and sheep cannot be without grass for a day, so we can only change pastures all year round, even the Great Khan headquarters. ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes lit up: "In this way, those grasslands near the south are not occupied by those pro-Ashina tribes?" ”

An Suiyu said: "Yes, we have to change four pastures a year, and we have to change the fields when the grass is almost eaten in one place, and we can't let the cattle and sheep gnaw off the young grass seedlings." Even the headquarters of the Great Khan was like this. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "In this way, as long as you let those small and medium-sized tribes in Mobei come over and occupy the place while those southern tribes change pastures, right?" ”

An Suiyu said vigilantly: "Xingman, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled proudly: "Wouldn't it be great to let a tribe like Dyegan come to the south, and then I will sell him rice and bronze ware at a lower price than that for Dulan Khan, so that he can live a good life, and I can still make money?" ”

As soon as An Suiyu heard the word Dyegan, he was angry and shouted: "Xingman, have you forgotten that Dyegan is our biggest enemy?" It's not bad if you don't kill him, how can you still find a way to fund him!"

Wang Huaqiang's cold voice revealed a murderous aura: "Fund him? You're wrong, Ayu, I'm killing him with a soft knife. He was ambitious, and he had always been obsessed with the position of Dulan Khan, which was well known to everyone on the grassland, so Dulan Khan sent him far away to the bitter cold land in the far north to prevent him from developing and growing. ”

"But if we lure him with profit and let Dye Gan lead his troops south, we will sell him rice and bronze silk silk, so that we can strengthen his strength in the short term, but after a long time, not only will we offend those tribes who have occupied the grassland, but also Dulan Khan will definitely be wary of Dyegan's close to the Sui Dynasty, and he will definitely find an opportunity to destroy him, and then we will not borrow the hand of Dulan Khan to avenge the great revenge."

An Suiyu's face first flashed with joy, and then he had some doubts, and shook his head: "Xingman, I think it's still a little inappropriate, dyeing and drying can't be so stupid, directly move the entire tribe to the south, and move from the north to the south, thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands of people and millions of cattle and sheep to migrate, this is by no means as simple as you imagined." ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed green, he hugged An Suiyu, stroked her back, and said proudly: "Don't worry, Ayu, I will think of a good excuse for him to bring his people to the south, there will definitely be a good excuse." (To be continued......)
