I heard that the Turks wanted to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, which made the court and ministers laugh, and even felt a little ridiculous.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, why did the princess give it to the Turkic Khan? Because harmony is the highest form of tribute, the emperor's daughters were given to others, accompanied by countless gold and silver treasures.

This is a form of robbery in the Turkic interior, and it will come again after a period of time.

Changsun Sheng continued: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hit the lair of the Huns, the champion Hou Feng Wolf Juxu, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty when the Huns were vassals, and my Great Sui is now strong and strong, why don't you dare to fight?!" ”

"The eldest grandson Duwei really doesn't understand military affairs, the Central Plains was unified during the Han Dynasty, and the entire Central Plains was united to resist the Huns, so it also consumed the national strength, and I have the Chen Dynasty in the south now, how can I talk about the same day?"

Eldest Sun Sheng looked directly at the person who spoke: "When Emperor Wei Wu was in the Three Kingdoms, wasn't the situation in the Central Plains more tense than it is now?" But he divided the Wuhuan Kingdom, broke them one by one, and ended the Xiongnu Dynasty, Emperor Nanchen, is he comparable to Liu Bei or Sun Quan? ”

Yang Jian was very satisfied with Changsun Sheng's words: "Changsun Sheng, you just said that while fighting, while pacifying, and at the same time plotting against you, what kind of strategy is this, you can tell me in detail." ”

Changsun Sheng saluted respectfully and then said: "Fang Cai Weichen said, I have been in the Turks for more than a year, I have seen many Turks, the Turks advocate force, the strong are respected, and there are many contradictions between each other, we always imagine that the Turks are very united internally, because the Turks who attacked the border pass gave us this illusion, that is because the interests of the Huns were the same when they plundered my border pass, but in fact, even when they plundered things and went back to share the spoils, this group of people often fought among themselves, and their internal contradictions were far greater than we thought. ”

"And they are all competitive people, and no one obeys anyone."

This statement was not understood by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and there were not many people among them who really understood the Turks.

Changsun Sheng continued: "The uncles and nephews of Shabalu Khan each commanded a strong army, all called Khan, lived separately, and harbored suspicion in their hearts, there were Datou Khan Defilement, Apo Khan Daluoben, Tuli Khan Chu Luohou, etc., for them may be difficult to recruit but easy to separate, although Shabalu Khan is a great Khan, but in terms of personal strength, he is not the strongest, and there are deep worries within the Turks. ”

Yang Guang listened to this series of names, and he had to memorize them for a while, and he was still embarrassed to read them, but Changsun Sheng was unusually familiar, obviously familiar with it, and knew the Turks very well.

"The Turks are good at plundering, but relying on the city walls and supplies, fighting defensive battles, it is difficult for them to break through the cities that we have fully defended, and they can't fight a protracted war, a long-term battle will drag down their supplies, the grasslands in the north are not like the Central Plains can continue to grow grain, and there are no insurance measures such as the granaries of our courts, once they fight for a long time and don't grab anything, their food will be in a hurry."

"So first, the frontal battlefield has to be fought, and it is dragged on, not to divide the victory or defeat with them in a short period of time, relying on the advantages of urban defense."

"The second internal and external division, the younger brother of Shabalu Khan, the Tuli Khan, is very popular with the Luohou, and the relationship between the brothers is not harmonious, when the distant friends and close attacks, the strong and the weak, the Turkic Khan is rewarded in a big way, and other Turkic forces are rewarded, isolating the Shabalu Khan, and strengthening the contradictions within the Turks."

Yuan Xiaoju stood up again at this time: "Your Majesty, what the eldest grandson Duwei said, even if it is to divide the Turks, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the effect in a short time, the Turks are still very united when they are external, and the Turks can also see such an obvious purpose. ”

Changsun Sheng did not give an inch: "The effect of differentiation is as short as two or three years, and as long as five or six years, it will inevitably make the Turks fall apart, and the Great Sui will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, and for the long-term peace and stability in the future, please make plans for your majesty as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Xiaoju asked rhetorically: "Eldest grandson Duwei, now that the Turks have united with Gao Baoning to occupy Yuguan, are they ignoring the immediate chaos for the unknown outcome of the future?" ”

Changsun Sheng's face did not change: "Weichen didn't say that regardless of the current chaos, you bent down to seek peace and fought hard." ”

For a while, there was a quarrel in the court, most people said that they would sue for peace, and defend with heavy troops, first find a way to retreat from the Turks and recapture Yuguan, and then say, there are very few main battle factions.

Yang Jian saw that they couldn't come up with a result of their quarrel, so he signaled to be quiet and asked Gao Gong: "Gao Gong, what do you think?" ”

Gao Gong didn't speak yet, but Yuan Xiaoju interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan." ”

Gao Xi was also dissatisfied with his strength, but he did not stop it.

Yuan Xiaoju said confidently: "The Turks used the excuse of the war as the princess of the former dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty used the princess of the princess to marry the Turks, and only then did they give them an excuse, Your Majesty can marry the princess of our dynasty and the Turks, give gifts, consolidate the relationship, and after the Turks retreated, our army recaptured Yuguan." ”

"Ridiculous !!"

Before everyone could speak, a slightly immature angry shout came, attracting everyone's attention.

The person who spoke was Yang Guang.

Yang Guang listened to them before, and he was holding back all the time, thinking that he had to be reluctant, he couldn't speak, he couldn't be in the limelight, and even Yang Jian opened his mouth to ask himself, but he pretended to be stupid.

But I couldn't help but hear Yuan Xiaoju say this, which violated my bottom line.

Yuan Xiaoju saw Yang Guang jump out, but he was overjoyed in his heart, isn't this a good time to suppress Yang Guang? This highness has to be suppressed, and it is just right for him to send it to the door, so as not to make him find a reason.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin said this."

Yang Guang couldn't calm down the excitement in his heart, and he felt irrational, but since he had already said it, let's continue.

"Maintaining a relationship with relatives is not stable, not long-lasting, just superficial efforts, as the eldest grandson Duwei said just now, it has to continue after a period of time, should the Great Sui be so humiliated?"

Changsun Sheng and Yang Guang looked at each other and nodded slightly, obviously grateful that Yang Guang could come out to help him speak at this time.

Yuan Xiaoju smiled: "Your Royal Highness is not familiar with government affairs, and it is reasonable to be naïve, as has always been the case, friendship and mutual assistance, peace and good neighborliness, this is the best policy." ”

Yang Guang smiled disdainfully: "This is a bad word, friendship and mutual assistance, Anbang good neighbors?" Don't our neighbors want to get along with us like this, they just want to scavenge from us, like a robber who wants to be a neighbor and get along with them? ”

"It's not always been like this over the years."

Changsun Sheng helped: "That's because the northern nomads will never be calm inside, what they are missing is that one day there may be a talent from heaven, and if they unify the interior, they will inevitably move their army south, and the primordial spirit in the middle will be ruined." ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but appreciate the advanced gaze of Changsun Sheng, he really knew the nomads in the north very well, and the great tribulation he fleged would come true in the future after the appearance of a man named Temujin.

Yuan Xiaoju continued: "Your Majesty, you must not destroy the national policy because of the unfounded alarmism of the eldest grandson Duwei, the Great Sui Fangding, the north and the south are strong enemies, it is best to keep the original Northern Zhou and Turkic ways to continue to survive, and the princess and relatives are the safest and best way." ”

Yang Guang's face darkened: "I don't know who the princess you are talking about?" ”

Yuan Xiaoju looked at the emperor, and then looked back: "This matter is naturally discussed by His Majesty and the ministers, His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not need to worry, His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not understand military affairs, and it is still not good to mislead His Majesty if he does not understand the internal affairs of the court." ”

The young Yang Guang walked into the middle of the hall, and his footsteps came out of the voice: "The princess that the prime minister said, no matter who it is, is the sister of me and His Royal Highness the Prince, the brotherhood is deep, the brotherhood is deep, the prime minister, you casually say a word and say it easily, but you want us to bear the pain of breaking your hands and feet, break your hand today, and break your foot tomorrow, how painful." ”

Yang Guang specially pulled Yang Yong in.

Yang Yong was a little embarrassed for a while, Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang seriously, not knowing what his son wanted to say.

"The Great Sui is rich and strong, that is, the daughters of ordinary people are all favored by the pearl of the palm, is it that the daughters of our royal clan are like grass mustard, give one today, give another one every day, send it out Life and death are difficult to manage, Turkic barbarism, most of them can't live for two years, do you have to use the life of our royal clan daughter to exchange for two years of peace in the Turks, so if the Chen Dynasty also comes to fight, also send them one? Do you send it too? Will Goguryeo send it too?! ”

"We don't have so many daughters in our family for you to deliver!!"

The words really calmed Yuan Xiaoju and the others, but Yuan Xiaoju immediately said: "Your Highness's words are wrong, the princesses share your Majesty's worries and benefit the common people, so it is naturally due." ”

At this time, Yang Guang looked directly at Yuan Xiaoju, slightly angry: "Father, the son and the minister absolutely do not agree to the policy of sisters and relatives, the eldest grandson Duwei is the most familiar with the Turks, and the policy of the eldest grandson Duwei is the superior policy." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin doesn't understand military affairs, and His Majesty please Mingjian."

The court fell silent, and the emperor frowned, unable to choose.

Yang Guang was so quiet when he was quiet, he lowered his voice and said loudly: "The policy of the previous dynasty is the matter of the previous dynasty, the Great Sui is far better than the previous dynasty, the father and your sons are not cowardly, the Great Sui should not be harmonious, do not pay compensation, do not cede the land, and the sons are willing to lead the troops to Youzhou to fight against the Turkic barbarians, even if they die under the border pass city, it is better than sending their sisters to the barbarians." ”

Yang Guang looked around the court for a week, and the last word was deafening, and the audience was silent.

"Great Sui, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the children and grandchildren die Sheji!!"
