"If these families fight, it is easy to create an unending situation, we really need to be cautious,"

Yiwu County was defeated by Su Lie, and before the expedition, Yang Ming asked the secretary to copy a copy of the "Atlas of the Western Regions" written by Pei Ju to Su Lie, so he still knows about the Western Regions.

After the court meeting ended, Yang Ming called Su Lie again, and the master and servant sat in the hall and ate lunch.

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Before that, in fact, Shibi had been sending troops to test the truth, and he didn't take it seriously, I didn't expect that people would invade on a large scale, and the main force would not have time to return to help in the west, if he was beaten to Sanmi Mountain, he would not be a khan." ”

Su Lie nodded: "The 300,000 cavalry invaded on a large scale, and the target should not only be Xue Yantuo, in fact, without Xue Yantuo as an intermediate buffer, the two sides will fight more fiercely in the future, but the problem is that I am afraid that the conflict between them will eventually evolve into an alliance, which is the most terrifying." ”

In fact, it is the one who loses, and the one who admits winning becomes the big brother.

The Eastern and Western Turks were originally one family, formerly known as the Turkic Khanate, with a territory of the Great Khing'an Mountains and the Liaohe River basin in the east, and the Aral Sea and the central river region of Central Asia in the west.

So when did they split? Three years after the emperor's reign.

Who provoked it? Changsun Sheng.

One person contributed to the division of the Eastern and Western Turks, and this credit is really unjustifiable without being crowned.

The Eastern Turkic royal family is the descendant of the main branch of the original Turkic Khanate, and the Western Turkic royal family is a branch, which is to set up the Little Khan of the Western Regions in the first year of the emperor's reign, responsible for governing the region west of the Altai Mountains.

Changsun Sheng also saw this point, and also put forward the famous strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and weak", contacting the Datou Khan and Apo Khan in the west and the Turki Khan in the east, and began to isolate the Turkic Great Khan Sha Bolu.

Sha Bolu is Qimin's father.

So the Turkic civil war broke out completely until the fifth year of the emperor's reign, and the Sha Bolu Khan, who could not withstand the attack from all sides, asked the Great Sui to make peace, and after Yang Jian successfully destroyed Chen, the Great Sui turned from passive to active to the northern nomads, and Yang Jian took this opportunity to support Qimin to ascend the throne.

In the past few years, there is one person whose role cannot be ignored.

Weiwang Yang Shuang.

In the third year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jian appointed Yang Shuang as the generalissimo of the march, and controlled the marshal Changshi Li Che, the king of Hejian Yang Hong, the marshal of the North Road march Dou Luxian, the governor of Qinzhou Dou Rongding, the general of the left guard Gao Gong, the Gongyu Qingze of Pengcheng County, and the head of the march Li Chong, a total of 200,000 people of the Eighth Route Army, in Baidao (northwest of Hohhot), broke the Shabo Army, which is the famous Baidao victory in history.

It was this big victory that solved the worries of the Great Sui when he went south to destroy Chen.

It's a pity that Yang Shuang died too early, if people live, the leader of the clan would not be able to do anything.

Now that the Great Sui unified the world, the four seas were peaceful, and the Tuyuhun and Goguryeo were destroyed first, it was impossible for the Turks to have no sense of crisis.

That's why Shi Bi can't wait to attack Xue Yantuo, and the real intention is probably to reunify the Turks.

Because only the complete Turks are qualified to wrestle with the Great Sui.

"Your analysis is reasonable, there are many people in the court and the East Palace who have this concern," Yang Ming drank water and said, "So in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" ”

When it comes to Yang Ming's position, in fact, it is enough to do three things.

First, to employ people for ability, second, to be able to listen for ability, and third, to be able to reward and punish for ability.

In a word, it is called "always reaching the talents of the people and not taking responsibility for themselves", which means that they have the ability to control the talents, establish major policies and entrust appropriate positions to all kinds of talents, and let the talents perform their duties, so that they can bow the world and rule by doing nothing.

That is, Zeng Guofan's sentence: Seek to discuss the funds to the generals, and the decision is attributed to one person.

Su Lie was silent for a long time, and said: "We still have to fight, at least Gaochang can't have an accident, otherwise I, Yiwu and Yumen, will be harassed, Gaochang is our buffer zone with the countries of the Western Regions, and I am afraid that it is not only against Xue Yantuo." ”

Yang Ming nodded, and said to Pei Shuang behind him: "Summoning the subordinate officials of the East Palace to discuss the matter in the Chengen Palace." ”

Half an hour later, everyone arrived, and Yang Ming told Su Lie's worries and asked everyone to participate.

"Shibi's ambition is already known to passers-by, but my Great Sui will not be able to use troops against the north in the next five years," Yuan Wen said:

"In this battle between the two sides, the loser is likely to be attached to the winner, so we can't let them divide the winner and lose, and the minister thinks that it is still the eldest grandson's distant and close attack, and the strong and the weak are separated from the strong, and the Eastern Turks are divided."

Li Gang shook his head and said: "The most powerful tribal leaders in the Eastern Turks are the younger brothers of Shibi, and if they want to divide, they can only choose from these few people, I'm afraid it is not easy." ”

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and the siege of Yanmen immediately came to mind for the first time.

In history, Pei Ju suggested that the fifth brother of Shi Bi Ji be set up as the Khan of the south to divide Shi Bi's forces, but as a result, Qi Ji Shi did not dare to accept it, and Pei Ju booby-trapped Shi Bi's adviser Shi Shu Hu Xi, which eventually led to the break between Shi Bi and the Great Sui.

With the lessons of the past, this cannot be done again.

Shibi's four younger brothers, the second Ashina Lever, is in charge of the west, and now he is fighting Xue Yantuo with Shibi, the third Ashina Dubi, in charge of the Khitan, Yao, Xi and other departments, the fourth Ashina Buli is in charge of the Xue Department, and the fifth is in charge of the Xue Department.

All four of them are armed forces, and it stands to reason that they are more suitable for division.

However, history has proved that these brothers are quite harmonious, and the division does not work.

The Eastern Turks are strong and the Western Turks are weak, so they must be dividing the Eastern Turks and uniting the Western Turks.

But you can't get separated.

"Your Majesty's will has not yet arrived, but the military situation of Hexi Fan is available every day, which shows that the war ahead is urgent," Li Jing, who was specially called, suggested: "The minister thinks that we should send troops, at least before Your Majesty's will is sent, we have to be prepared." ”

Li Gang said: "What does the pharmacist mean, send 5,000 troops? ”

"If the prince doesn't have a tiger talisman, he can only be five thousand," Li Jing said with a smile.

Li Gang frowned and said: "The two sides are fighting, and we have five thousand people, is it any use?" ”

Li Jing said: "At least there is a gesture, even if our soldiers and horses are spectators, it will also deter both sides, besides, they will not know how many people we have gone, and they can claim 100,000 troops to the outside world." ”

"That's a good idea," Yang Ming said with a smile: "The supply of 5,000 people, the imperial court is still out, and there is still Xuan Ting's border army in Hexi, in case something happens, it can also deal with it for a while." ”

Xue Shu, a member of the house, said: "I recommend Dingfang as the head of the march, he has been to Yiwu, and he knows a lot about that area, five thousand soldiers, preferably a cavalry army, so that it can be matched with Xuan Ting's border army." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Dingfang just came back from Lingnan, and his son hasn't had time to hug him, so it's not appropriate to let him go again, right?" ”

He said this on purpose, in fact, he wanted Su Lie to go.

Su Lie hurriedly said: "Serve the country, don't dare to quit your work, the minister is willing to go." ”

"I'll go," Li Jing said suddenly: "I like to use cavalry, and the Eastern and Western Turks are also cavalry, and I can study their tactics from the sidelines, so as to improve my Great Sui cavalry fighting methods." ”

Li Jing took the initiative to ask Ying, which Yang Ming did not expect, after all, in his opinion, Li Jing is a handsome talent, and the current Su Lie is only a general, of course, people will also be handsome in the future.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Of the martial arts that went to Lingnan, a few of them were left behind by the people, and the rest of Xu Shiji and Hou Junji have returned to Beijing and brought them with them, and then Yuanqing will also go with you." ”

"Command!" Li Jing nodded.

It is most suitable for him to go because the governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is Yang Xuanting, and Su Lie goes, so he may not be able to manage the other party, but Li Jing can.

Yang Xuanting recognized Li Jing as a brother.

After the meeting, Yang Ming left the Cheng'en Hall and met Yuwenshu on the way.

"Why are you here?" Yang Ming said curiously.

Yuwen Shu leaned over and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, the crown princess summoned her, saying that she wanted to find a place in Beijing, build the Wei Palace, and find ministers to discuss where it is appropriate." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Have you found a place?" ”

"There were a few pieces that were suitable, but they weren't agreed," Yuwen recounted.

Yang Ming asked, "What is the budget?" ”

"According to the prince system, you have to get a million yuan," Yu Wenshu said with a smile.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "At that meeting in Jinyang Palace, how much did Li Yuan spend?" ”

"The budget is three million, and the actual amount is four and a half million," Yuwen said, "and the money has already been allocated." ”

Yang Ming hugged his shoulders and groaned, and said after a while: "Right now, I want Li Jing to command 5,000 troops and enter Zhangye, and the imperial court will have a big expense. ”

"The minister is willing to serve," Yu Wenshu hurriedly said.

People didn't say a word about Li Jing's upcoming expedition, although they were very curious, they never asked too much.

"How can I spend your money," Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh:

"Huaji has already come out of blood, you spend money again, be careful that there are no expenses at home, so let's do it, I will allocate money from the treasury of the East Palace to the treasury, and then from the treasury, and repair the palace, don't make a noise, this matter will be handled by you."

Yuwen was overjoyed: "The minister must keep the secret for His Royal Highness and make the palace beautiful." ”

With this errand, he can use the excuse to report the progress of the fortifications in the future and often come to the East Palace, which is what Yu Wenshu is looking forward to very much.

He also understands that the prince understands that the country has no money, but his son's mansion can't be built, and if he wants to build it, he must pay for it from the treasury, so he needs to move it and take care of the country and Pei Shuying.

After all, this money should not have been from the East Palace.

"I mentioned Li Jing just now, why didn't you ask?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yu Wenshu said with a smile: "If the prince doesn't say it, the minister can't ask." ”

Yang Ming sighed: "Xu Guogong is a very popular minister, it is not for no reason, but I really want to talk to you about this matter, let's go, let's talk." ”

Yuwenshu is a real soldier, and the other party has followed Yang Guang to the Eastern Turkic Royal Court, so he has a certain understanding of there, and it is beneficial to help analyze it.

Yang Ming never looked down on Yu Wenshu, but only looked down on his three sons.
