Chapter 424: A Countermeasure to the Enemy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As Yang Guang made a decision.
Yu Wenhua and others quickly wrote the holy decree.
Not for a while.
The edict was written.
Yang Guang sent a messenger, day and night, to send the edict to the outside of Nanyang City, in Han Baohu's military tent.
Soon.
More than a dozen days later.
Han captured the tiger and returned to Daxing City.
After entering the city.
He never rested, and went straight to the palace to see Yang Guang.
"Minister Han captures the tiger, meet Your Majesty!"
Push the gold mountain and pour the jade pillar in general.
Han Baohu knelt on one knee and saluted Yang Guang.
"Flat!"
Yang Guang waved his hand.
Subsequently.
He turned to the side, looked at the huge map hanging on the wall, and asked, "On the way back, did you read the military newspaper in the northwest?"
Han Baohu nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already seen it."
Yang Guangdao: "In this case, let's talk about it, is there a way to retreat from the enemy?"
Han Baohu thought for a while, and then said: "The minister has never advanced westward, and he doesn't know the truth of the enemy, but according to the minister's view of the battle report, he found that the head of the Tuguhun thief, called the medicine Luo Ge Bodhisattva, is not good at his generation."
"How so?"
Yang Guang nodded slightly.
He was quite satisfied with Han Baohu's attitude.
This Han Baohu is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, in comparison, the Yin World Master who has not yet gone to Dunhuang is much inferior.
Hearing Yang Guang ask like this.
Han Baohu paused, and then slowly spoke: "As far as the minister knows, Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva is a general of the Xiliang Kingdom, this person has been dormant for many years, and once he mutated, his hidden heart is indeed admirable...... Moreover, after this person seized Tuyuhun, he was immediately able to recruit soldiers and horses to fight back against the old lord and win, and his person was a generation of heroes! ”
"That's right, Qing continued."
Yang Guang sat firmly on the dragon chair, bowed slightly, and said slowly.
"Obey the order!"
Han Baohu clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
And then.
He continued: "When this medicine Luo Ge Bodhisattva defeated his old master and the combined forces of Tubo and Shatuo, he used the art of war to lure the enemy into penetration...... And most of his routines to defeat our Sui army many times were also a plan to lure the enemy into depth...... Therefore, this person is also a rare talent. ”
"Not bad, not bad! Using Yin Shishi, Feng Xiaoci, and Fan Zi to cover the three of them is my fault! ”
Yang Guang heard Han Baohu's analysis and unexpectedly admitted his mistake.
"The minister didn't mean this, but I thought that we might be a little inappropriate for the Tuyuhun strategy."
Han Baohu glanced at Yang Guang in surprise, and then bowed down and said.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Guang asked.
"This Tuyuhun was originally an independent country, and then it was destroyed in the hands of Tubo, and now although it has been restored by Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, its old royal family Murong clan has not received much benefit, this is the first hidden danger of Tuyuhun!"
Han Baohu looked at the huge map hanging above the main hall, pointed to an area in the west, and talked to Yang Guang.
"Uh-huh...... Makes sense! ”
Yang Guang listened to Han Baohu's words, looked at the map, couldn't help nodding slightly, stroked his beard, and said.
Han Baohu continued: "As for the second hidden danger of Tuyuhun, it is here!"
As he spoke, he pointed his hand to the map again.
This time.
He was pointing to the old master of Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, Xiliang Kingdom.
"The Western Liang Kingdom is a grand alliance formed by the unification of the 36 countries of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty...... Although the lord of the country is the elder, the power is dispersed, and he does not want other countries to have the right to adjudicate in a word. ”
Han Baohu's tone was soothing, and he introduced Xiliang Kingdom to Yang Guang.
"I know that, too...... It is said that the country of Xiliang is more west, and there is a large food country, and its national strength is comparable to that of my Great Sui...... As for why the Xiliang Kingdom was founded, it was because of the persecution of the Great Food Country. ”
Yang Guang nodded slightly and said in his mouth.
"Your Majesty is well-read and knowledgeable, and the minister admires it very much...... Yes, this big food country is the hegemon of the West, and it has invaded the Xiliang country many times...... The foundation of the Xiliang Kingdom was already unstable, and now, after being defeated by the Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, the prestige of the lord of the country has plummeted, so the Xiliang Kingdom regards Tuyuhun as a mortal enemy - this is the second huge hidden danger of Tuyuhun. ”
Han Baohu clenched his hands into fists and continued.
"Internal and external troubles...... If there is no analysis of Qingqing, I really don't know! ”
Yang Guang bowed slightly, and his originally somewhat anxious expression gradually relaxed.
Han Baohu said: "Your Majesty Xie praises you...... However, in addition to these two hidden dangers, the minister thinks that there is another flaw in Tuyuhun, which can be called a flaw, and if our army wants to break through Tuyuhun, it must rely on such flaws. ”
"Oh? What's the flaw? ”
Hearing Han Baohu's words.
Yang Guang perked up and immediately asked.
"The flaws of Tuyuhun are the three kingdoms of Turkic, Shatuo, and Tubo!"
Han Baohu walked to the front of the map, raised his left hand, and pointed to three places on the map.
As shown on the diagram –
The country of Nashatuo is located in the northwest of Tuyuhun.
The Turkic state is located in the northeast of Tuyuhun.
The state of Tubo is located in the southeast of Tuyuhun.
The Three Kingdoms are in a state of wrangling, firmly locking Tuyuhun.
But.
Because of the medicine Luo Ge Bodhisattva, the prestige is great.
Therefore, none of the three countries dared to act rashly.
"Hahahaha! Not bad! If we do the trick of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, then Tugu is in danger! ”
As soon as you see the situation on the map.
Yang Guang instantly understood what Han Baohu said about the flaws in Tuyuhun.
With such a natural ally, how could the Sui Dynasty not use it?
"Your Majesty is a genius, yes, the flaws in Tuyuhun that the minister said are precisely the use of Shatuo, Turkic, and Tubo to drive away tigers and wolves!"
Han Baohu smiled slightly and said.
Subsequently.
He further added: "Before, the three kingdoms of Xiliang, Tubo, and Shatuo were all defeated in the hands of Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, and these three families must have a grudge against Tuyuhun, but considering the prestige of Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, the three kingdoms naturally did not dare to act rashly...... However, if my Great Sui sent an envoy to form an alliance with the three families, and agreed to attack Tuyuhun together, so that Tuyuhun's troops and horses were scattered, and they could not take care of each other, wouldn't it be easy to kill Luo Ge Bodhisattva in this way? ”
"Hmm...... What Qing said is very good! That's fine. I will leave this northwest war to you with full authority! However, do you have any recommendations for the candidates to send envoys to Shatuo, Tubo, Xiliang, and Turkic? ”
Yang Guang had a smile on his face, looked at Han Baohu, and said.
"The minister recommended a person, it is the proton of Gao Changguo, and now the Guanglu doctor, whose name is Qu Boya, can be the messenger."
After thinking for a moment, Han Baohu replied.
"Qu Boya?"
When Yang Guang heard this name, a rather familiar figure immediately appeared in his mind.
This Qu Boya's identity is extremely not simple.
His ancestral home is Jincheng, and he is the son of Qu Qiangu, the lord of Gaochang, after the Gaochang royal family.
When Emperor Wen of Sui, he was ordered by his father to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, because of his extraordinary appearance and elegant conversation, he was loved by Yang Jian, so he stayed in Daxing City, worshiped as the doctor of Guanglu and the Duke of Benguo, and specialized in dealing with the diplomatic affairs of the Western Regions.
"Qu Boya can send envoys to Xiliang and Shatuo...... As for the Tubo Kingdom, I am ready to let Pei Ju, the servant of the Inner History, be the envoy. ”
Yang Guang stroked his beard and said.
Pei Ju, the word Hongda, Hedong Wengren, born in Hedong Pei's Xihuan, since childhood, diligent and studious, well-read, successively served as the Inner History Sheren, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Inner History of the Lang, Yang Guang's trust.
"Your Majesty's holy judgment is naturally excellent, and the minister supports it very much."
Han Baohu slapped a sycophant at the right time.
"Then on the Turkic side, who is more appropriate to send an envoy?"
Yang Guang nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the map again, and asked casually.
But.
Before Han Baohu answered.
Yang Guang continued: "Qing thinks that Wang Ke, the Marquis of Dingbei, can he serve as an envoy?"
