The Tiele people, the first to be called the Gaoche people, had two major branches during the Three Kingdoms period, one of which was active south of Lake Baikal and some of which was active in the Altai Mountains.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a large number of Tiele people went south and participated in the war between the Xianbei and the Han people, and then this part of the people was gradually sinicized and merged with the Han and Xianbei people.

Some also migrated to the northwest desert area, and among them, there was a tribe called Wei Su, which during the Tang Dynasty would be transformed into the Uighurs, the ancestors of the Uyghur people.

The current Uighurs are called Uighurs, and they are temporarily attached to the Tieleqi Bige Division.

Tiele originally belonged to the Western Turks, until Qibi Ge was stunned and united with Xue Yantuo to rebel against the Western Turks, and almost killed Luo Khan, and later the Qibi Department and Xue Yantuo jointly established the Tiele Khanate, and jointly promoted Qibi Ge as the Great Khan.

But in fact, Qibi Ge was stunned and couldn't command Xue Yantuo at all, and between Xue Yantuo and Qibibu, there was still a Western Turk.

Xue Yantuo's Yi lost bowl is the little khan of the Tiele Khanate, if the Great Sui plays yin and thinks that Yi lost the bowl is the great khan, then many of the tribes controlled by Qi Bige will have problems, and if it is serious, there may be tribes that migrate east to attach themselves to Xue Yantuo.

Tiele fifteen, that's it, whichever tribe is strong, the rest will be attached to this tribe.

Historically, after the Western Turkic Luo Khan returned to the Great Sui, he retook over the Western Turks and incorporated the 15 divisions of Tiele into the Western Turkic territory again.

Qi Bige was really afraid, if Da Sui provoked the relationship between him and Xue Yantuo, his position as the Great Khan would not be kept, and at that time, the great enemy Chu Luo knew that he was having trouble with Xue Yantuo, and he would definitely turn his head to clean him up.

Therefore, after leaving the camp tent, Qi Bige directly led the 50,000 tribes under his command to return to Tiele, leaving Murong Yuyun without a leader.

Yang Ming immediately ordered the Xuan Ting Department and the Xiao Maha Department to surround the last large army of Tuguhun, who was in chaos, and Changsun Cheng was responsible for persuading him to surrender.

A day later, the tribe lost its ordnance and surrendered to the Great Sui.

At this point, the whole territory of Tuguhun was included in the territory of the Great Sui.

After the aftermath, Yang Ming was left to the eldest grandson, and he would go north to Zhangye, and after meeting Pei Ju, he would return to Daxing.

.......

Zhangye County,

Pei Ju saw his daughter who had been absent for three years, and almost shed tears, staying in this bitter cold place far from his homeland for three years, homesickness was naturally eager, especially when he saw his own daughter, he was even more excited and indescribable.

After beckoning Yang Ming, Gao Gong and the others to sit down, Pei Ju looked curiously at the figure behind Yang Ming:

"When did King Qin have a woman as a guard?"

The daughter on the side hurriedly explained: "It's not a guard, it's Dugu Feng'er?" ”

Pei Ju was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Then you should sit down, come here, and bring another futon over." ”

Dugu Feng'er, who was wearing soft armor, suddenly said curiously: "Do you know me too?" ”

Yang Ming and Pei Shuying suddenly shouted badly, they didn't confess to Pei Ju, let alone leak their mouths.

This is called impatience and chaos, who is Pei Ju? Can he say that he is leaking?

"Of course I know, isn't the girl the daughter of Zhao Guogong and the niece of the Holy Queen?" Pei Ju said with a smile.

Dugu Feng'er pursed her lips and said no more.

Pei Ju hurriedly diverted the topic and looked at Gao Gong:

"I didn't expect Dugu Gong to have another day on the battlefield, so the two of us should have a drink together."

Saying that, Pei Ju raised his glass to Gao Gong, Gao Gong smiled and raised his glass, these two elders who had the power of prime minister during the Kaihuang period, but did not have much intersection, talked and laughed and drank for the first time in such a scene.

Yang Ming sat on the main seat with his cheeks and smiled at Pei Shuying: "Are you sitting in the wrong place?" I'm left to sit here alone. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Gong and Pei Ju laughed at the same time, Pei Shuying pursed her lips, came to her husband and sat down, and pushed her elbow against Yang Ming's waist as if she were coquettish, and the deep love between husband and wife can be seen.

Pei Ju saw it in his eyes and was very pleased, and then, as a landlord, he got up to drink with Shi Wansui and other generals.

"It's a pity, Gong Pei hasn't seen His Royal Highness yet, can't he go back with me this time?" On this occasion, Yang Xuanting will not treat himself as an outsider, because their family is all Qin Wang Party.

】

Pei Ju smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty still has important arrangements, and it may be difficult to return to Beijing in a short time." ”

Only Yang Ming knew why Pei Ju couldn't go back, first, the history was written clearly, and second, Pei Ju told him in private.

Yang Xuanting was stunned and said: "Tuguhun has been destroyed, what other affairs in Hexi are worthy of Pei Gong's permanent residence here?" ”

"It's unspeakable, I hope Xuan is quite considerate," Pei Ju said with a smile.

Yang Xuanting immediately realized that the errand on Pei Ju's shoulders was not something he could know, so he hurriedly stood up and said:

"It's me who said too much, and I'll punish myself with a drink."

The other generals also coaxed, and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.

After this battle, everyone was not familiar with it before, but now they are also familiar with it, especially Mai Tiezhu and Su Lie, they really became brothers in private.

What friendship is most precious? They have been through the window together, carried guns together, and prostituted together.

And they belong to the guns that have been carried together.

Mai Tiecane lightly attacked the enemy, it stands to reason that Yang Ming should punish him, but Mai Tiecane finally killed the enemy bravely, Yang Ming counted his merits and demerits to offset him, and when he asked for merit in the future, he would not be left behind, because Mai Tiecane was his father's person.

Therefore, Yang Ming's report did not mention the mistakes made by Mai Tiecane, and even praised Mai Tiecane for his courage and invincibility, because Dad likes to see such a recital.

At present, in Zhangye, it is not a place to talk about merit, and when he returns to Beijing, Yang Ming will ask for merit for the generals.

So Yang Ming also picked up the wine glass, took Pei Shuying out of his seat, and went down to toast one by one.

"Should we get King Qin drunk tonight?" Shi Wansui directly picked up the altar and smiled at everyone.

Yang Xuanting slapped his thigh and coaxed: "It should be like this." ”

"There are no outsiders here, and no one will tell Your Majesty," Qu Tutong, one of the only two outsiders, hurriedly proved his innocence.

Yang Ming laughed and raised his glass:

"All-you-can-drink!"

.......

In Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guang, who got the report, couldn't wait to gather all the princes, nobles, high-ranking officials and ministers and held a grand banquet.

The queen and harem concubines, including the eldest princess Yang Lihua and Shen Wuhua, were all present.

During the period, Yang Lihua said with a smile: "As soon as the earth valley rolls away, the Western Turks and Tiele are both vassal states of my Great Sui, and the Hexi Corridor is opened. ”

Yang Guang laughed and said in front of the ministers: "Zhu Qing said, King Qin has made such a great contribution, how should I reward him?" ”

The first to stand up was Yang Xuangan, who only listened to him:

"The king of Qin is the prince, and it is the prince's business to share his worries for His Majesty, and the son relieves his father's worries, so how can he talk about rewards?"

His words immediately stunned many people.

Because when everyone saw him stand up, they thought that as the old father-in-law of King Qin, Xuan Gan would praise King Qin and strive for some credit, and even with Xuan Gan's recklessness, he might dare to mention the matter of the prince.

No one expected that Xuan Gan would directly say that there was no need to reward him.

Is this really the sun coming out in the west? Behind the guidance of a master?

Of course not, the previous Xuan Sense, which was covered by Yang Su, didn't need him to worry about anything, but now, he had to be alone, although this maturity came too late.

Sure enough, Yang Guang was very useful to this sentence, nodded approvingly:

"What Aiqing said, I like to listen, the king of Qin is relieved of the king's worries, the reward should still be rewarded, the soldiers in front of him will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, he will decide, I will not change any here, all of them will be approved, and it will be regarded as a reward for my son."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yang Xuangan saluted and returned to his seat.

In Yu Wenshu's view, if the emperor does this, it is better to directly reward King Qin with something, and hand over the power of rewarding meritorious deeds to King Qin, isn't this waiting for the family to cultivate wings and expand their power?

After this battle, the prestige of the King of Qin in the army is even greater, how can the King of Qi fight? There is only one left in order.

Suddenly, Yu Wenshu felt that Yang Jun's original strategy of stabilizing the King of Qin and suppressing the East Palace had to be changed, and now it seemed that he should unite with the Crown Princess's East Palace to suppress the arrogance of the King of Qin.

So he had been quietly looking at the expression of the crown princess Wei Ying, and sure enough, every time the other party heard the word King Qin, his expression would be very stiff, obviously forcing a smile.

Others don't have a chance to get close to Wei Ying, but Yuwen Shu has, because he is a favorite minister, and he can often go in and out of Jiangdu Palace.

During the banquet, Yang Guang specially summoned Shen Wuhua, sat on his right hand, and said with a smile:

"On the occasion of the addition of this territory, Madame thinks that the strength and prosperity of my Great Sui is compared to the old one, how is it?"

Shen Wuhua is not a fool, she has been a queen, and she said with a smile:

"The old is far from being as old."

Since she followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu, she has a general understanding of Yang Guang, talented, respectful of Buddha, wise, domineering, dislikes people's advice, and loves to listen to flattery.

But Yang Guang does respect her very much, which surprises Shen Wuhua, especially the other party likes Jiangnan humanities and cherishes the customs and customs in the Jiangnan area, so the two have a common language.

Anyway, my daughters are already married to your son, and I will say whatever you want to hear, as long as you are happy.

Yang Guang laughed, his smug look was unobstructed, and said:

"Next, I will return to Luoyang in the north, and my wife will go back with me," Yang Guang said with a smile.

Can Shen Wuhua say no? Naturally: "I follow Your Majesty." ”

Yang Guang has already decided that he will do two major things when he returns north this time, one is to divert Qinshui south into the Yellow River, and then dig a grand canal that leads directly to Zhuo County, and the second thing is that he wants to patrol the north and inspect the Turks.

Before inspecting the Turks, there were two things that had to be done, one was to greet the Turkic Qimin Khan and prepare him to meet him, and the other was that when he returned from the Turks, he wanted to take the North-South Canal, that is, in a maximum of one year, the canal connecting Luoyang and Zhuojun (Jingbei) would have to be completed.

He can see the matter of digging the canal, and he can't let the third child do it, the third child is too benevolent and righteous, and it will delay the progress of the project.

This kind of thing has to rely on the second child.

At the end of September, Yang Guang led the princes and ministers and the army to return to Luoyang along the Guangtong Canal to the north.
