Chapter 836: Exile
Volian Khan was speechless for a while, his heart was shocked, and his hand unconsciously let go of the reins, and the big red heavenly horse under the seat also felt the sudden change in the master's feelings, shook his head for a while, and panted, so that Volian Khan cleaned up for a while before he regained control of the horse.
Volian Khan's face turned pale, obviously Wang Shichong said what he was most worried about, he gritted his teeth, and said: "Since General Wang has also seen through this, then you say, will King Dabao really appoint Ah Shun as the new Khan and betray this Khan?" â
Wang Shichong sighed: "Although I don't know the relationship between your father and son, and I don't know if the friendship between the Great Khan and the Great Treasure King is really so unbreakable, but from the perspective of the history of our Central Plains, when it comes to this kind of power struggle, even the brothers will turn against each other, not to mention that they are just monarchs and ministers who are not related by blood. Only then did he leave the hometown of Liaodong, where he had lived for generations, and came to this Hehuang Plateau thousands of miles away? Power can corrupt people's hearts, and the Great Treasure King has now taken over your reign, and when he gets used to the kind of authority that can respond to every call and control the life and death of all people, if he wants to give up again, it will be unless he is a saint! â
Volian Khan gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face kept beating, and sweat began to appear in large quantities on his forehead and sideburns, obviously there was a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and after a long time, he sighed: "What General Wang said is extremely true, but now that I have handed over the power to King Dabao, it is unlikely that I will return to Fu Qi City." How good is that? â
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This is what Wei Zheng said just now. This time, Zhang Dinghe, the general of the Sui army, was killed. It's good for the Great Khan. The begging general fought a bloody battle and killed the general of the Sui army, and must have a high prestige among the people, and Yang Guang, in his anger, will definitely make a condition that he will only be allowed to surrender if he hands over the begging voda, and if the king of Dabao wants to protect the people, he must kill the beggar voda. In this way, in the eyes of the people of Tuyuhun, they are not heroes who save their lives, but traitors who kill heroes and surrender to the Sui Dynasty! Everyone must want to kill it, and then quickly! â
Volian Khan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "When the time comes, the people of Ben Khan will find a way to welcome Ben Khan back, right?" â
Wang Shichong smiled and nodded: "Yes, when the time comes, the Great Khan only needs to send people back to the tribes to spread the news, saying that you are now in the Dangxiang Qiang people, so as not to cause trouble to everyone." I can't come back for the time being, so I want everyone to be patient for the time being. Wait for your chance. â
A hint of disappointment flashed on Volian Khan's face: "After a long time, I still can't go back to my hometown." General Wang, you tell me the bottom, how long will you have to wait? â
Wang Shichong's expression became stern and sincere, and he looked directly into the eyes of Fulian Khan: "It's not easy to say this, but according to my estimate, within three years, Yang Guang will personally conquer Goguryeo, and then he will no longer have time to take care of this western matter, whether it is the Western Turks or Tuyuhun, they should be able to take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Sui Dynasty and stand on their own!" â
Volian Khan was surprised and delighted, and his voice was trembling: "Really? Just three years? â
Wang Shichong nodded very seriously: "Now the Sui Dynasty is digging a canal in China, just to transport the money, grain and ordnance from the south to Zhuo County on the northeast border, which is the frontier fortress closest to Goguryeo, just like Xiping County close to your Tuyuhun, when the time comes, Yang Guang will definitely recruit a large army from all over the country to personally crusade against Goguryeo, and the army guarding Tuyuhun in the west, as well as the government soldiers of Liangzhou, will also be transferred there, and then there will be no power to control your Tuyuhun land, It's also time for your Great Khan to return! â
Volian Khan rubbed his hands excitedly and muttered, "Heaven bless, let Ben Khan hold on until then." If this is the case, Ben Khan will definitely give everything to return to you, General Wang. â
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Before that, the Great Khan also has to use his influence here for many years to secretly manipulate the various departments on this plateau, so that they do not obey the orders of the Sui Dynasty or the Great Bao King, but do not raise troops to resist, you can hide far away, after the Sui Dynasty army withdraws this time, it will be very difficult to mobilize an expedition of this scale, in short, non-violent non-cooperation!" â
A sad look flashed on Volian Khan's face: "It's just that all the ministries have to listen to Ben Khan's orders and give them enough benefits, Ben Khan used to be a khan here, it can be said that he has the power to kill them, and he can also control them by reducing or reducing tribute and distributing the goods obtained from trade. â
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This big khan doesn't need to be in a hurry, most of the goods that came in from the Western Regions in the past were provided by my caravan, and those Hu merchants in the Western Regions left some of them and resold them to you Tuyuhun, now that the Western Turks have changed to a new khan, I am not ready to provide them with a large number of goods as before, so my caravan will change to the line of Tuyuhun, and the Great Khan can rest assured, as long as there is my Wang Shichong's caravan to store zĂ i, I will definitely provide you with the materials that the Tuyuhun people need. Cloth, silk, silk, bronze, you have had before, and you will have in the future, and even more! â
Volian Khan clapped his hands violently: "General Wang, you are really the great savior of our Tuyuhun people, I knew that this was the case, we should have cooperated earlier, alas, then Ben Khan will not fall to the point of greedy for small profits, robbing caravans, and thus causing trouble!" â
Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "No, Great Khan, Yang Guang came back to the west to establish authority, like to the Western Turks or to the Great Khan, whether you are obedient or not, you will find an opportunity to repair it, only by setting up a new Khan, can he achieve his goal, for the future when he conquers Goguryeo, he will lay a stable rear in the west, which is why he brought Prince Murong Shun over." Therefore, I only choose to cooperate with the Great Khan this time, and in the future, I will only ship the goods to those tribes you designate, and trade them according to the share you specified, and what the Great Khan wants to give me is only those horses provided at market price, and I will also settle the money spent by these horses in the Tuyuhun foster care!
