, Chapter 5 Khan's Golden Arrow

Yang Yuanqing walked into the imperial study quickly, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, "Minister Yang Yuanqing sees His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Mr. Yang is exempt from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanqing stood up, Yang Guang glanced at him carefully, and suddenly remembered the eldest sister Yang Lihua, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, his tone became soft, and he smiled: "I have read the report of Fengzhou in the past two years, I am very satisfied, the Ministry of Civil Affairs proposed that Wuyuan County is overpopulated, only one county is difficult to manage, and it needs to be divided into three to five counties, I want to hear your opinion." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs originally planned to immigrate 300,000 households, but the actual immigration has a return situation, basically three immigrants, and one household back, so now the total number of households in Fengzhou is about 200,000 households, if in the interior, it is indeed necessary to divide into three to five counties, but in the border areas are different, the frontier is too threatened by the Hu people, if the counties are divided, there will be conflicts of interest between the counties, which is not conducive to concentrating forces against the Northern Hu, so the Han Dynasty is only divided into Shuofang and Wuyuan two counties, including today's Yulin County area, However, there are 26 counties, so the minister's opinion is to follow the example of the Han Dynasty and divide the counties into counties, build more castle counties, prevent Turkic invasion, and wait for more than ten years of stability, and then slowly consider the issue of dividing counties. ”

Yang Guang nodded, "You are right, the households are considered according to the number of households in the mainland, and the actual situation of the frontier is not considered, in fact, my thoughts are similar to yours, and now I need to stabilize, and then I can consider dividing the counties according to the threat situation of Beihu, the Hetao is limited in territory, it is difficult to withstand too many people, 200,000 households are enough, and immigration will be temporarily stopped, in addition, as for Yulin County, I will not consider immigration for the time being, after all, the Turkic threat is too great." ”

Yang Yuanqing took out the debriefing report and presented it to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, this is the report of the minister's preparation for next year's debriefing. ”

Speaking of the Western Turks, Yang Guang remembered something, he flipped through the folds, and finally Yang Yuanqing had a narrative about the Western Turks, Yang Guang frowned and said: "Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, also reported to me, saying that the Western Turks Luo Khan was defeated by the Shooting Khan, and now the Luo Khan has fled to the territory of Gaochang with more than a thousand tribes, and I am considering taking the Luo Khan back to the Sui Dynasty, following the example of supporting the Qimin Khan, Yuanqing, you are more familiar with the Turks, what do you think?" ”

Yang Guang is a person who has never been willing to listen to advice, but today he actually consulted Yang Yuanqing twice, which also shows that the Turks have indeed caused a lot of pressure on Yang Guang, and Yang Yuanqing also felt that he came to see Yang Guang this time because of his deep purpose, he just wanted to give Yang Guang a good talk about how to deal with the Turks.

"Your Majesty, it is better to provoke than to support, the Turkic Khan is an ambitious man, and the son of Qimin is the same, if we can provoke the outbreak of war between the Eastern and Western Turks, so that they will be weakened by internal strife, just like Datou and Dulan back then, this will be beneficial to the Great Sui.

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed, Yang Yuanqing's suggestion opened a window for him, so that he could see the good strategy for dealing with the Turks, he stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then turned back and asked: "What if the Eastern and Western Turks unite to deal with the Sui Dynasty?" Just like it was back then. ”

"Your Majesty, at this time and that time, at least for the Western Turks, the Sui Dynasty is not his greatest interest, his greatest interest is in the grasslands and the Tiele tribes in the Western Regions, if the Western Turks dare to invade the Great Sui, the minister can persuade the Tiele tribes to attack its rear, as for the Qimin Department, the minister knows that they are not united internally."

Yang Yuanqing thought of the Utu Ministry, Yang Guang smiled happily, "Last year, Changsun Sheng died, I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable candidate for the Turkic envoy, Pei Ju was too old to travel long distances, I considered letting you be a Turkic envoy back then, now it seems that my idea is not wrong, General Yang, I agree with your plan, but are you willing to take on this task for me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing bowed without hesitation and said, "The minister is willing to share worries and solve problems for His Majesty!" ”

"Good!"

Yang Guang's mood suddenly improved, and he began to turn the topic to today's business, he pondered for a while and said: "In the eighteenth year of the emperor's conquest of Goryeo, I have always had this idea, last year I exterminated Tuyuhun, the war in the west ended, and now the neighbors are peaceful, I am thinking about the matter of Goryeo, but the Turkic threat is too great, so it is difficult for me to make a move, if you can successfully provoke the Eastern and Western Turkic infighting, then I will decide to crusade against Goryeo with the army of the country, Yuanqing, what do you think?" ”

This is the third time to consult Yang Yuanqing's opinion, and the title has also changed, in Yang Yuanqing's memory, only when it comes to dealing with the Guanlong nobles, Yang Guang will call his name, Yang Yuanqing can't help but think that Yang Zhao once told him that Yang Guang wanted to launch a large-scale war to completely solve the control of the Guanlong nobles over the army.

Yang Yuanqing asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the small country of Goryeo, the soldiers are only 100,000, and the equipment is far inferior to the Sui army. ”

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a cold essence, and he said slowly: "Yuanqing, don't you really understand what I mean? ”

Yang Yuanqing was finally able to determine, it seems that the three battles of Goryeo were indeed Yang Guang's earth-shattering gamble.

Yang Yuanqing resolutely bowed down and said, "The minister is willing to implement the Eastern and Western Turkic strategy for His Majesty!" ”

At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister came to the east this time to meet the driver, and met the Goryeo envoy on the way, they were going to the Turks, but the ministers thought that their intention to see the Turks had nothing to do with the death of Qimin Khan, and the time was not right!" ”

Yang Guang was stunned, why did Goryeo go to see the Turks at this time?

．．．．．．．

With the arrival of the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang's holy car to Qifubo, the Turkic Shibi Khan led 100,000 tribes to the north of Qifubo, and thousands of large tents were also distributed on the endless grassland.

Zhang Chuchen painted her face black, changed into a Turkic costume, wore a hat, she was very tall, from a distance, she was a thin Turk, she led the horse, walked aimlessly in the Turkic camp, walked past piles of bonfires, from time to time someone beckoned her to sit down and drink, she ignored it, the Turks didn't care, everyone was at peace with the situation, please don't invite it is one thing, sit down or not but no one cares, in the Turkic camp, she didn't encounter any trouble.

But it was not so easy to enter the Turkic inner camp, the defense was extremely tight, five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry, shouting orders at any time, and constant cavalry posts to defend back and forth, which was almost invulnerable.

Out of the dust for a long time, she still decided to use the golden arrow, in the Turks, the golden arrow is only a part of the troop transfer talisman, only the golden arrow is not able to transfer the troops, generally carved wood for the seal, the seal is the code words agreed by the ministries, and then sealed with wax, with the golden arrow order on behalf of the authority of the khan, plus the special herald of the tribes of the golden warriors, the three of the people, the order, the charm of the three, in order to mobilize the army of the tribes.

There are a total of thirty-six golden arrow orders, representing thirty-six tribes, and each additional tribe will add a golden arrow, and these golden arrow orders are jointly recognized by the chiefs of the tribes at the tribal assembly, and a blood oath is made to the golden arrow, which can generally not be changed without a special reason.

If you want to change, the process is extremely cumbersome, and it is also necessary to convene a tribal meeting to explain the reason, and it can only be changed after the unanimous consent of the tribes, which involves more complex interests, so although Yang Yuanqing got a golden arrow, Yang Yuanqing did not have a wooden seal, let alone a golden warrior, and could not transfer troops, just to make a passing order, which had no impact on the overall situation of the Turks, and Dye Gan concealed from the tribes that his daughter stole the golden arrow.

The golden arrow was still effective, and Izuchen walked quickly to a Turkic soldier guarding the inner camp, showed him the golden arrow in his hand, and without saying a word, the Turkic soldier was shocked, and immediately fell to his knees, not daring to raise his head, and Izuchen floated past him and walked through the first level.

Even she didn't expect that Golden Arrow had such a high authority, but she didn't know that only the thirty-six Golden Warriors of the Khan's most confidant could hold the Golden Arrow Order, and the Turkic Sentinels obviously regarded her as one of the Golden Warriors.

Urging the horse out of a mile, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the dark, surrounded by a flat grassland, there were no big trees to hide, dustless and anxious, turned around and walked out, a team of sentries galloped forward, and the commander of the head of the thousand men shouted: "What kind of person, password!" ”

Wuchen didn't know what the password was, she raised the golden arrow order, and said in a simple Turkic urn voice: "I was ordered to go out of the camp to deliver the letter!" ”

When the commander saw the Golden Arrow Order, he was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted on his horse, "I don't know if it's Jin Wu, forgive me!" ”

Although the thirty-six golden warriors were all tall and burly, and the person in front of him looked slender and a little inconsistent, the other party had a golden arrow order in his hand, so he didn't dare to ask more, and with a wave of his hand, he led the sentry to rush away.

Wuchen wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, she urged the horse to speed up and gallop, and passed two checkpoints in a row, and finally entered the inner camp area, which was composed of hundreds of large tents, which were inhabited by the chiefs of various tribes and the Ashina royal family, and a huge black dome in the middle was the Turkic king's tent.

As soon as Wuchen walked into the inner camp, dozens of ambush soldiers suddenly appeared around, brushed the ground and raised the Sui crossbow at her, and a centurion said coldly: "What kind of person is it, dare to trespass into the forbidden circle!" ”

This is the fifth and last checkpoint, extremely tight, there are thousands of people in ambush in the forbidden circle, to enter the inner camp, you must go through the main gate, this is the internal order of the Turks, even the ordinary Turkic soldiers on the periphery do not know, let alone outsiders like Zhang Chuchen.

Wuchen raised the golden arrow and said, "Send an envoy to the Sui camp, come back and return to your life!" ”

"Humph! If you are an envoy, why don't you go through the main door? Sneaky wants to sneak into the inner camp, say! ”

"I'm sent by the Khan, and I have the golden arrow as proof!"

The centurion sneered, "Since it was sent by the Khan, then you go with me to see the Khan, if the Khan admits it, I will not pursue it, otherwise you will be a spy!" ”

This time she fouled first, although there were golden arrows and it was not so easy to deal with, Wuchen knew in her heart that she couldn't pass this level, her eyes quickly swept away, there were a total of eighteen people, she could instantly solve the five people on the left, and then use light skills to quickly escape, and when the other party began to block and search the whole camp, she had already escaped from the Turkic camp, but in this way, the task given to her by Yang Yuanqing also failed.

The Turkic language out of the dust is not good, the other party's speech speed is extremely fast, she didn't understand what the other party is saying, she is helpless in her heart, she sighs secretly, ready to fight, just at the moment when she is about to make a move, a crisp woman's voice comes from behind the Turkic soldier.

"I sent her out to find someone for me."
