Fang Xuanling stood behind Zhang Xuan, he did not disturb the lord's contemplation, but at the same time, he also understood the lord's worries, the lord was not afraid of the Turks, but the Turkic invasion of the south was very likely to disrupt the layout of the lord's seizure of the world, and it would also consume a lot of Northern Sui resources, which would greatly slow down their pace of unifying the world.

But the reality is in front of them, and what they need to think about is how to fight the Turkic invasion with the least cost.

"Can you tell us what you think?" Zhang Xuan looked at Taiyuan City on the sand table and asked slowly.

Fang Xuanling pondered and said, "Weichen has three plans. ”

"Strategist, please speak, I'll listen to you."

Fang Xuanling walked to the sand table and said: "The first plan is Li Daitao's strategy, we will give up Mayi County and Yanmen County, retreat to Shanggu County, and hold the Flying Fox Road, I believe that the Tang army will inevitably go north, and in this way, the Tang army will face the impact of the Turkic army." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xuan shook his head and said: "The strategy seems to be very good, but I will lose the hearts of the people in the world, and fighting the northern captives is the bottom line in the hearts of every Han people. ”

Fang Xuanling did not insist, and continued: "The second plan is to take Taiyuan before winter, and then use Taiyuan City as the center of the fight against the Turks. ”

Zhang Xuan also considered this plan, but in this way, the people of Bingzhou would suffer a catastrophe, and the Turkic army would inevitably loot the people and property of Bingzhou.

Zhang Xuan didn't immediately object, and asked again: "What about the third plan?" ”

"The third plan is a compromise plan, we take the initiative to compromise with the Tang Dynasty, withdraw the army from Taiyuan County, and when appropriate, we can temporarily return Shangdang County and Changping County to the Tang Dynasty, and then we and the Tang Dynasty sign a mutual non-attack agreement, so that we don't have to consider the enemy on our backs, and go all out to fight against the Turkic army, I believe that the Tang Army will not risk the world's condemnation, and fall into the well when we fight against the Turks, they will definitely push the boat down the river and accept our compromise."

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands, he could accept the third plan, and it was not a shame to compromise with the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't want to give up Shangdang County and Changping County, Lou Fan County could be given to the Tang Army, only by holding and occupying Lou Fan Pass, Lou Fan County could be swept away.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time and said, "We can discuss the third plan with the Tang army, but before sending an envoy to Chang'an, we must determine whether the Turkic army will go south?" If the Turkic army had no intention of moving south, then there would be no need for us to compromise with the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your Highness is right, Cui Junsu has gone north a month ago, and I believe he has already met Princess Yicheng at this time."

After the death of Shibi Khan, the Turkic royal court migrated from the upper reaches of the Duluo River west of the Kent Mountains to the upper reaches of the Egen River at the northern foot of the Yudujin Mountains thousands of miles to the west, which is also an extremely fertile grassland, with sufficient water sources and vast grasslands, where hundreds of thousands of Turkic people live.

It has been almost two years since Luo Khan ascended the throne of the Turkic Department, but the situation of the Turks is still unstable, and the drought for two consecutive years has sharply reduced the number of Turkic sheep by fifty, especially the year before when the Duluo water dried up, the golden pastures of the Turks disappeared, and the herdsmen suffered extremely heavy losses, and they had to give up the royal court that had been operating for nearly a hundred years and migrated westward instead.

In addition, the Tiele tribes could not bear the cruel exploitation of the Turks to increase taxes in order to transfer losses, and the Tiele tribes led by the Bayegu, Hui and Fugu tribes began to show signs of alliance to resist taxes, and the Turks began to have the voice of 'Chuluo Khan is not the Khan chosen by the Immortal Heaven', and the major forces within the Turks had a peep at the Khan's position.

At this time, Liu Wuzhou, supported by the Turks, was defeated by the Northern Sui, and most of the 5,000 Turkic troops stationed in Fuqibo were killed and wounded.

But it was also an opportunity, and the Khan decided to consolidate his position as Khan with a large-scale southern expedition, in fact, he had long wanted to do it, but the Sui army's military operations in the northern part of Bingzhou disrupted his original secret plans.

On the morning of this day, a team of envoys from the Northern Sui arrived at the Turkic royal court, and at a distance of 100 miles from the Turkic king's tent, the team encountered the outer Turkic patrol posts, and a thousand Turkic cavalry escorted the envoy team of more than 30 people to the Turkic king's tent.

The envoy of the Northern Sui Dynasty is Cui Junsu of Honglu Temple, Cui Junsu is the third generation of Turkic envoys of the Sui Dynasty after Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju, after the establishment of the Northern Sui Dynasty, Cui Junsu was promoted to Honglu Temple Qing and continued to be in charge of Turkic affairs.

At dusk, Cui Junsu and his entourage arrived at the Turkic king's tent, which is a tent city composed of more than 100,000 Turkic domes, with a radius of nearly 100 miles, as far as the eye can see, are endless tents, extremely spectacular, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and Turkic khans and other nobles live.

The Turks are inhabited by tribes, and the largest tribe is the Ashina tribe where the Turkic royal family is located, which is the most powerful and wealthy tribe of the Turks, they have the most abundant and vast pastures, and have a large number of slaves, cattle and sheep, which are the embodiment of their wealth.

The tent city was divided into three tiers, and the outermost layer was inhabited by ordinary Turkic people and their looted slaves, and since the men of the Ashina tribe had always been the backbone of the Turkic army, they received the most booty every time they plundered the south.

The most important piece of the spoils of war was the slaves, both Han Chinese and other nomadic peoples, who were numerous in number, and these slaves were of humble status and did the most heavy work, and almost every Turkic family had several slaves.

Turkic men drank and gambled, losing slaves was the most common thing, slaves often changed masters was commonplace, and many female slaves were greatly devastated physically and mentally while undertaking heavy work.

The middle floor of the tent city is the garrison of the 50,000 guards of the Turkic Khan, these guards are the elite of the elite of the Turkic army, all of them are warriors of various tribes of the steppe, strong horses, well-equipped, and very strong in combat.

At the heart of the story is the Turkic Tent, which consists of thousands of large tents and houses the Turkic khans and nobles, as well as the children of the chieftains of the Tiele tribes who live here as hostages.

Lu Han also followed Cui Junsu to envoy to the Turks, this was the first time he came to the Turkic king's tent, both curious, but also a little nervous, Cui Junsu told him on the way that the battle of Bingzhou had angered the Turks, so that he could prepare for the worst, that is, his life might be lost in the Turks.

The main road leading to the Turkic king's tent was separated by thick wooden fences on both sides, and from time to time you could see some ragged women and children and slaves hiding behind the wooden fences, and they timidly came from their homeland, and their thin faces were clearly flowing with the same blood as theirs.

Suddenly, a young woman grabbed the fence and cried and shouted, "My family is in Shanyang County, Mayi County, my father's name is Yang Zheng, and he runs a grocery store in the north of the city, begging him to redeem me and go home!" ”

Lu Han's blood surged above his head, and he urged the horse to step forward, but Cui Junsu grabbed his arm, looked at him sternly, and shook his head at him.

At this time, a Turkic man stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hair, dragged her away like a livestock, faintly heard the woman's crying and the Turkic man's angry scolding, Lu Han suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but flow.....

Due to the Liu Wuzhou incident, Cui Junsu and his party did not receive the courtesy they deserved, they were carried into two empty tents, and the Turkic soldiers marched away, without water or food, and no one to greet them.

Everyone looked for a place to sit and rest, and Lu Han sat in a corner, clasped his hands on his knees, and buried his face deep in his knees.

At this time, Cui Junsu stepped forward and patted Lu Han on the shoulder, handed him a kettle, sat down beside him, and said to him softly: "I know you are in a bad mood, no one will be in a good mood when you see this scene, this kind of thing will not happen when the Great Sui is strong, since the chaos in the world, the Turkic army often goes south to loot, tens of thousands of women and children are robbed, many people are ruined and die on the road, even if they go to the grassland, most people can't survive the first winter, for them, it is lucky to survive, If the court is weak, it will be bullied by foreign races, and it is the people at the bottom who suffer from it, this has been the case since ancient times, and the Han people will almost be wiped out after the Yongjia Rebellion, which you should know. ”

Lu Han took a sip of water and let out a long sigh, "I know all this, but what I saw in the scroll and what I saw with my own eyes are completely different, that woman's cry made my heart ache like a knife, that's our sister!" ”

Cui Junsu likes this young man very much, smart and capable, honest and kind, Cui and Lu are friends for a hundred years, he hopes to train Lu Han to be his successor, so he doesn't think Lu Han is reckless, but he wants to educate him and make him understand the reason.

"I've heard you've been in the military, you should know that a squad of scouts went to get important information, but they encountered enemy soldiers killing people and setting fires, should they care about this situation or not?"

Lu Han immediately understood what Cui Junsu meant, and he nodded, "I understand." ”

Cui Junsu smiled: "When the road is uneven, it is normal for people to want to draw a sword to help, but we have a more important mission, if you really want to help that poor woman, you can find her father when you go back, and let her father redeem her through the Turkic merchants." ”

"Can it be redeemed?"

"Of course you can, slaves are their private property, they can be bought and sold, usually through Turkic merchants as middlemen, as long as the price is right, most of the Turks will sell them, anyway, they will go to catch new slaves, but if this woman gives birth to a child in the Turks, the child will not be taken away."

Lu Han silently remembered that in the grocery store in the north of Shanyang County, his father's name was Yang Zheng, and he made up his mind that he must help this woman, even if he paid for her, he would redeem her, otherwise he would have a bad conscience.

At this time, a subordinate shouted Cui Junsu, "Envoy, someone is here!" ”

Cui Junsu turned around, only to see a group of Turkic soldiers outside the tent, he immediately got up and walked out, Cui Junsu can speak fluent Turkic language, and talk to the leader of the general for a few words, he turned back to the crowd: "Everyone clean up, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to change places for us." ”

The crowd hurriedly put away their belongings and followed the Turkic army to the northeast corner of the king's tent. (To be continued.) )
