Chapter 4: The Turkic Mutation [Asking for a Monthly Pass!] 】

Chapter 4: Turkic Mutation Seeking a Monthly Pass!

Yang Yuanqing returned to the camp in the woods, but saw dozens of horses and some Sui soldiers outside the camp, not his subordinates, but local soldiers, he was slightly stunned, is this someone coming to him?

A sentry stepped forward and said, "Report to the chief manager, it's Pei Sima of Dingxiang County, and now he is waiting!" ”

"I see."

Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, walked into the woods, and walked towards his partial tent, in the partial tent, a civil official was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, he was Dingxiang County Sima Pei Lian, Pei Lin is a native of Sangquan, Puzhou, and Wenxi Pei's family is not the same ancestor of the same branch, because Dingxiang County is too remote, there are only hundreds of households, so he is only a very inconspicuous petty official.

Pei Lin tracked the Goryeo envoy all the way, but after the Goryeo envoy crossed the bridge, he destroyed the bridge, and when he repaired the bridge, the Goryeo envoy had disappeared, and after searching for a long time, he found Yang Yuanqing's camp.

Yang Yuanqing walked in with a tent curtain and said with a smile: "Which Pei Sima is it?" ”

Pei Lin hurriedly saluted, "In the next decision of Sima Pei Lin of Xiangjun, see Chief Manager Yang!" ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that he was about forty years old, his appearance was strange, and he had a bit of fairy wind and bones, so he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Pei Sima, it's rude, Sima, please take a seat!" ”

Yang Yuanqing asked Pei Lin to sit down, and ordered his own soldiers to serve tea, Pei Lin sat down, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Yang Yuanqing's enthusiasm made him feel that Yang Yuanqing might misunderstand him as Pei Valve's disciple, and quickly explained: "It has nothing to do with Wenxi Pei's family. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "What does it have to do with the Pei family, Pei Sima is the host, I only pass by the guests, shouldn't the guests be modest?" ”

Pei Lin was suddenly, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It should be the master who does the friendship of the landlord, but I am rude." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, no longer greeted, and asked him directly: "Did Pei Sima come to see me on a special trip?" ”

"Nope! No! ”

Pei Lin smiled bitterly and said: "I found a strange team of envoys three days ago, sneaking across the border, I followed all the way, but they destroyed the bridge when they crossed the Jin River, and when I repaired the bridge, the envoys had disappeared, and I don't know whether to see the saint or to the Turks?" ”

"They are Goryeo envoys, going to the Turks, I just went to chase them, sneaky all the way, and I don't know what to do in the Turks?"

Pei Lin smiled, "Actually, I know what they are doing when they go to the Turks, and the Turks have changed." ”

"What's going on?"

"Qimin Khan is dead, doesn't Chief Yang know?"

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, he didn't know the news, he hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"About a month and a half ago, the Turkic internal blockade news, I heard from a Turkic businessman, I don't know if it's true or not, the Holy Lord should have heard about it, so he decided to come to the frontier to inspect."

Yang Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, in the past two years he had devoted himself to internal affairs and did not care about Turkic affairs, so that he didn't know about such a major event as the death of Qimin Khan, but at least Utu should have sent someone to tell him, why didn't he send someone? Could it be that there is internal strife within the Turks? He suddenly cared about the situation of Princess Yicheng and Wei Chiwan, and his heart became a little uneasy.

Pei Lin was an extremely delicate person, he felt a slight uneasiness in Yang Yuanqing's heart, thinking that Yang Yuanqing was worried about the saint's blame, he hurriedly said: "This matter is indeed very secret, I also heard it by chance, and it is not necessarily true." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled gratefully, groaned for a while, and asked, "The Holy Lord has already arrived at the begging house, haven't the Turks come to see him yet?" ”

"I heard that it has arrived, and there are quite a few people to the north of the beggar berth."

Yang Yuanqing was still thinking about the Goryeo envoy, he felt that the Goryeo envoy was not here to mourn filial piety, it was impossible from the time of time, it should be for something else.

Yang Yuanqing was distracted, the two had nothing to say for a while, Pei Lin wanted to have a friendship with Yang Yuanqing, and asked Yang Yuanqing to say a few good words to him in front of the saint, so that he could be transferred out of this bitter cold place, even if he was asked to go to the Central Plains to be the county commander, he was willing, he really couldn't stand the pain of Dingxiang County.

But he and Yang Yuanqing only met for the first time, and they couldn't open this mouth, Pei Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "If General Yang has nothing else to do, he will resign!" ”

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Thank you Pei Sima for the news, it is very timely, if I see the Holy Lord, I will definitely say a few good words for Pei Sima." ”

Pei Lin was overjoyed, he didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to be so reasonable, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, "The grace of Mr. Yang, the humble position will be remembered in my heart, and the humble position will not be bothered, and I will leave!" ”

Pei Lin thanked him and left, Yang Yuanqing returned to his tent, and saw that Chuchen was wearing armor all over his body, as if he was going to go on an expedition, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

Izuchen pursed his lips and smiled: "I feel like you're going to fight, so get ready first, so you don't have to get rid of me." ”

"Where did you think of it? This is the territory of the Great Sui, who are you going to fight with? ”

Yang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he asked her in Turkic language: "I have something I want to leave to you to do, can you?" ”

Chuchen has been idle in Wuyuan County for the past two years, and she has also learned one or two hundred commonly used Turkic languages, listening to Yang Yuanqing's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "No problem, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Yuanqing regretted it after speaking, and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm just trying your Turkic language." ”

"Nope! You must have something you want me to help with. ”

Chuchen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Yang Yuanqing's neck, and said with a smile: "I know you too well, you regretted it as soon as you said it, and then changed your words, for no reason, what are you trying my Turkic language for?" Say quickly, what do you want me to do? ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to say: "Originally, I wanted you to send a letter for me, but I felt that it was too dangerous." ”

"But you still want me to go, don't you?" Izumi said as he looked into his eyes.

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, with her brilliant martial arts, she is the most suitable, and more importantly, she is a woman who can protect Princess Yicheng closely.

"That's fine, you give me the letter, and tell me who to send it to?"

Yang Yuanqing hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "I promised Princess Yicheng that I would never let her marry her son again." ”

.........

Late at night, Yang Yuanqing sent Wuchen all the way out fifty miles away, he was still very worried in his heart, I don't know if his decision was stupid, whether on the battlefield or in the officialdom, he was decisive in killing, and he would never drag mud and water, but after all, Chuchen was his wife and his relatives, if something happened to her, what should his daughter do?

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing was hesitant, he smiled and said, "You have always been such a decisive person, why have you become such a mother-in-law and mother at this time?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, looked into her eyes and said, "I really regret that I shouldn't let you go now." ”

Chuchen understood Yang Yuanqing's care for her in her heart, and she was silently moved in her heart, she said softly: "Yuanqing, I have experienced more dangerous things than this, I have enough experience, don't worry!" I have a way to protect myself. ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, suddenly, he thought of something, suddenly slapped his head, and quickly turned around and took out a golden arrow from the horse bag, this is the Khan's golden arrow that Adosi stole from the Turkic king's tent back then, and he relied on this golden arrow to escape from the core area of the Turkic tent, even if the Turks changed the khan, but the golden arrow would not change.

"Damn me, I forgot something so important!"

Yang Yuanqing urged him to step forward and handed the golden arrow to the dust, "This is their Khan's order, in case of any danger, you can show this golden arrow, which can keep you safe." ”

Izuchen took the golden arrow and said with a smile: "Then you don't have to worry, I will definitely return safe and sound!" ”

She whipped her horse violently and galloped to the north, her figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the grassland, Yuan Qing looked at her back, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

.......

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing led 500 cavalry to continue to gallop eastward, and that night, they arrived at Qifubo.

Qifubo is a gourd-shaped lake, covering an area of thousands of hectares, the water quality is extremely clear, the surrounding pasture is abundant, it has always been a treasure land for the Turkic people to graze, although it is in the territory of Mayi County, but the Turkic herdsmen came to graze, and the Sui soldiers did not interfere.

But now it is different, there are 300,000 troops stationed on the shore of Qifubo Lake, and this time the Sui army did not use the long snake formation to march as before, but marched with a regimental formation.

Yang Yuanqing led the army to rush up a hill, and the 300,000 troops suddenly appeared overwhelmingly in front of Yang Yuanqing's eyes, and the starry bonfires were out of sight, which made him have an illusion, as if he had entered the world full of stars.

The ** city of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty and the big tent of hundreds of officials were like cabbage cores, surrounded by 300,000 troops in the middle.

"Who?" A sentry spotted them, and more than 100 cavalrymen galloped forward and aimed their crossbows at them, extremely vigilant.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly: "I am Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, and I am here to see the driver by the order of the saint!" ”

At this time, an officer rushed out, he knew Yang Yuanqing, and immediately arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be General Yang, there is a decree from the saint, if you come, I order you to go to see the driver immediately, General Yang, please come with me!" ”

Yang Yuanqing knew the rules, he only brought five guards, and the rest of the soldiers were stationed on the periphery, he gave a few more orders, and then took the guards and followed the officer to Yang Guang's ** city.

**In the city, Yang Guang as usual, in the imperial study to review the folds, this time to the north to inspect, he just got the news of the death of the Khan of Qimin, but this news was not sent by Princess Yicheng to tell him, but the twists and turns of the Dingxiang County Taishou, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Among the three major threats in Yang Guang's heart, the Turks ranked third, although Qimin Khan had always surrendered to the Great Sui when he was alive, but the Qimin Khan still had a lot of small moves, and almost betrayed the Great Sui several times, and now that the Qimin Khan has died, his son succeeded to the throne of the Khan, what will be his attitude towards the Great Sui? Can he surrender to the Great Sui like his father?

Yang Guang had no bottom in his heart, especially when the Qimin Khan died for more than a month, and the Turks did not come to report the funeral, which made him even more suspicious, the current Turks are no longer a small tribe that dye more than 10,000 people back then, but a powerful steppe overlord with nearly a million armor warriors, if the Turks have a heart of disobedience, it will be a serious threat to the Great Sui.

Yang Guang was very worried that his father's prophecy would come true, once the Turks became a threat to the Great Sui, it would inevitably affect his plan to completely eradicate the Guanlong nobles, no matter what, he must understand clearly during this northern tour, will the Turks pose a threat to the Great Sui?

Just as Yang Guang bowed his head to review the recital, a eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, has arrived." ”

Yang Guangda was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Announce him coming in!" ”

............

Note: In history, Qimin Khan should have died in the fifth year of the Great Cause, and Lao Gao postponed his death for a year for the needs of the plot, which was regarded as the effect of tea and extended his life by one year.
