Yang Guang's letter to the King of Goguryeo requesting a meeting was also quickly replied to.

The king of Goguryeo couldn't figure out whether the Sui Dynasty's troops were preparing to attack on the border or whether they were really going to attack or fake, and he was even more surprised when he saw the news that Yang Guang had asked to meet, and he didn't know what the other party's intentions were.

Of course, he couldn't really go to see Yang Guang, and he won a few battles, and now that the soldiers of Goguryeo are high, he is not afraid of Yang Guang.

sent someone to inquire about Yang Guang's situation, and then wrote back that he also hoped to meet Yang Guang, but the location was to be placed in their capital [Domestic City], and said that Yang Guang would be entertained with the highest etiquette.

Yang Guang put down the letter, and Yuan Tiantian said beside him: "Your Highness, this king of Goguryeo is planning to fight us to the end, and this letter is very arrogant. ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly, and didn't care that the King of Goguryeo was rude and angry at the other party: "If you win the crown prince of the Great Sui and the god of war in a row, you are much more arrogant than him, and if the sky wants to die, it is necessary to be crazy, and it is also necessary to be crazy." ”

"Your Highness, how are you going to reply to him?"

"Go, I must go, I will go with the army, and ride on horseback to the royal city."

"Everywhere I go, it is the land of the Great Sui."

After a while, Qin Qiong walked over: "Your Highness, there is a report from the front-line soldiers, and there is a Khitan who claims to be the envoy of the Khitan king, and he has come to meet His Highness." ”

"Khitan?"

Yang Guang opened the information about the Khitan that the Yin World Master had prepared.

The Khitan was captured by Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty a few decades ago, and more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of livestock were captured, which directly led to the great decline of the Khitan and its submission to the Turks.

Now because the Turks are showing weakness and the Khitan has been recuperating for many years, the Khitan has sprung up in the past two years.

According to the information given by the Yin Shishi, now the Khitan and Goguryeo have a close relationship and have formed in-laws with each other.

Yang Guang ordered someone to bring the Khitan envoy up first.

The envoy of the Khitan was a sturdy young man with an extraordinary temperament, and Yang Guang, who saw him, saluted first and said: "Foreign Minister Yelu Chentuo, see His Royal Highness the King of the Great Sui and Jin." ”

Jerod...... Are you from the Khitan royal family? ”

"Foreign minister, the fourteenth prince of Khitan."

Yang Guang put down the information in his hand, looked at Yelu Chentuo in front of him with a correct color, and said, "I didn't expect the Khitan King to send his own son to see me, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Yelu Chentuo said respectfully: "Father, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Great Sui Dynasty is the King of Jin who once defeated the Turks, and specially sent me to meet him, and brought gifts from our Khitan, all of which are outside the city, with cattle and sheep. ”

"It was Uncle Wei Wang who won the battle against the Turks, and I just followed a little light."

"Your Royal Highness is too humble, our Khitan has been bullied by the Turks, so we know more about the situation of the Turks, according to what we have learned, the Turks are more afraid of His Royal Highness the King of Jin than His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Yang Guang heard him say this, and he didn't know what his purpose was here.

"I heard that you have now conquered a lot of Turkic lands?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, that was originally our Khitan land, but the Turks invaded our land, and now we have recaptured our homeland."

Yang Guang said: "In addition to visiting this king today, is there anything else?" If not, the king will arrange for officials to receive you. ”

Yelu Chentuo bowed his hand and saluted again: "It's not a secret, my father has a task to explain, I don't know if His Royal Highness can hold back and tell me in private?" ”

Qin Qiong hurriedly stopped: "Don't!" His Royal Highness, how can he meet with his ministers alone. ”

Yang Guang motioned for the guards except Qin Qiong to wait outside, and said, "There is no need to engage in mysteries, Qin Qiong and Tian Tian are the most trustworthy people in this king, you can just speak up." ”

Seeing that there were fewer people, Yelu Chentuo said directly: "Your Royal Highness the King of Jin, my father admires a young hero like you very much, because you defeated the Turks and tied us up in disguise, so my father sent me to visit you, and at the same time, I also hope to become a friend of the covenant with Your Highness, cooperate with each other, divide the territory of the current Turks, and eat away at its strength. ”

Yang Guang didn't expect Yelu Chentuo to have such a purpose, but after thinking about it, taking advantage of his illness to kill him is also a consistent practice, and the feud between the Khitan and the Turks is not worse than that of the Turks and the Great Sui, and even surpasses.

When the Turks were strong, they plundered the Central Plains, and the Khitans, who were far weaker than him, were directly oppressed and plundered, and it was not a matter of a day or two for the Khitans to hate them.

But Yang Guang didn't plan to do it as soon as he heard this request.

First, now that the Turks have experienced a great war with the Sui Dynasty, the elite has lost a part, and because of internal differences, it is divided into Eastern and Western Turks, and they have weakened a lot by attacking each other, and if they continue to weaken him, someone will definitely annex their power and grow again.

For these tribes in the north, Yang Guang felt that the best plan was to maintain internal strife with multiple nationalities and tribes, which would be the most beneficial to the Great Sui, and if it really supported a huge tribe, it would harm the Great Sui when the time came.

Second, what is the purpose of the Khitan people talking about this matter at this time? According to Yang Guang's information, they had a good relationship with Goguryeo and became in-laws, so is it now that they want to use this method to relieve Goguryeo?

Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency Yelu Chentuo, we and the Turks are already in-laws, they sent the princess to our Great Sui and relatives to this king, and this king naturally can't send troops to attack them without words. ”

Yelu Chentuo said with some eagerness: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, now is the best time for the Great Sui to annex the Turks. ”

"Your Excellency doesn't need to say any more, and now that we are fighting Goguryeo, and the war is currently going on, we can't afford to do other things, let's wait until the war with Goguryeo is over."

Yelu Chentuo said with a worried face: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you really want to start a war with Goguryeo?" ”

"Isn't it obvious?"

"As far as the foreign ministers know, Goguryeo has the same firearms as the Great Sui, and the morale is strong, the sudden death of the king of your country Wei gave them a chance to win, the foreign ministers know that this sentence should not be said, but the foreign ministers respect His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so dare to say it, the foreign ministers feel that now is not a good opportunity for you to start a war with Goguryeo."

Yang Guang smiled: "You can say that, I think you treat me as a friend, but Goguryeo doesn't respect me Dasui, this matter can't pass, the battle must be fought, this king has also learned a lot of tactical tactics with Uncle Wei Wang, and this time I also want to take this opportunity to show my face, so I can show my face in front of my father and queen mother." ”

Hearing Yang Guang say this, the most surprised thing was actually Qin Qiong, he just thought that His Royal Highness the King of Jin could say so much to this Khitan prince who met for the first time.

These words may be military secrets, it is obvious that Yang Guang is not a casual person who will talk about military affairs casually, so even if Qin Qiong feels strange, he will not say anything, he firmly believes that His Royal Highness the King of Jin must be much smarter than him, and will not do such stupid things.

And Yelu Chentuo heard Yang Guang say this, so he continued to talk: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, our Khitan and Goguryeo have been handed over, and we have exchanged a lot over the years, I can quietly inform Your Highness that Goguryeo, although most of the soldiers in the country have been pressed to the place where the Great Sui is handed over, but their king has no intention of invading the Great Sui, or has no courage, and now he does not dare to cross the Lei Chi half a step after recapturing the previous city." ”

"The foreign minister is not a courtier of the Great Sui, but he has always admired the Great Sui, and our Khitan and the Great Sui have always been good friends, so I feel that I still have to talk to His Highness, according to the current situation, His Highness does not go to war with Goguryeo, they will never dare to go to war with His Highness, but if His Highness wants to fight, Goguryeo now has too many troops, and His Highness may be difficult to win."

Yang Guangman said indifferently: "Can I still be afraid of the Goguryeo people?" I saw their firearms, the level is not good, the firearms are there but not good enough for us, we lost the battle before just because of an accident, this king came here, reorganized the Youzhou army, and then led the Shandong army to come, the entire 200,000 troops, all of them are the elite of the Great Sui, with countless muskets and artillery, can you still be afraid of them? ”

Looking at Yang Guang's attitude, Yelu Chentuo felt that Yang Guang was a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy, completely in the style of a heavenly prince, and did not take the Goguryeo people in his eyes at all, nor did he take the soldiers who rushed to kill in front of the battle.

This is in line with the character of the prince of the great Sui Empire, what does the fate of the people have to do with me? What does the life of a soldier have to do with me? It would be nice if the military exploits that were brought back and the cities that were taken back were related to me.

Those who have been in high positions for a long time are the most likely to lose empathy and compassion, and they only know how to look upwards and above the temple.

In Yelu Chento's eyes, such Yang Guang is indifferent and frivolous, but it is also reasonable.

Yang Guang's character design is also easy to come by, just follow Yang Yong's performance.

At this time, Yang Guang said: "Your Excellency, you said before that you would attack the Turks with us, but now this king wants to invite Your Excellency to help me bring a message to your king, please Your Excellency and the Khitan attack Goguryeo with us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yelu Chentuo's face was shocked.

Yang Guang continued: "We have stationed troops on the border, the Shandong army will be in place in less than five days, and we will fight a tough battle on the frontal battlefield, our soldiers and our firearms will definitely be able to gain an advantage, even if there is no way to break through Goguryeo in a short time, but Goguryeo and we can't afford it, they only have as many people as they have, and we have as many people as we have in the Great Sui." ”

"The longer the fight, the higher the amount allocated by the imperial court, and the more military merits this king can get, this king is worried that Goguryeo will be broken at a touch, and it will be broken with such a simple fight, how to show the ability of this king to lead the troops to fight, hahahaha."

After a few words, the image of the King of Jin was established in front of Yelu Chentuo, who followed Yang Guang's words and said: "Your Highness, in fact, it would be very good for you if you could talk to Goguryeo, not to mention the war that has been quelled, and you can also get Goguryeo's support for you in the future." ”

Yang Guang stopped talking, squinted his eyes slightly at Yelu Chentuo, and smiled disdainfully: "This king can be heard, you are here to be a lobbyist for Goguryeo." ”

Yelu Chentuo hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, the foreign ministers are soft-spoken, and they know that their skills are slight, how dare they go to the front of His Highness to get an axe, let alone be a lobbyist for Goguryeo, but His Highness treats me politely, so the foreign ministers dare to say what they think in their hearts, and they also want to repay Your Highness." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang eased up a little: "I see that you are still a person who understands the times, and you should not be a lackey of Goguryeo, but if you really come for Goguryeo, this king will warn you, the relationship between the Khitan and the Great Sui is good, don't be distracted." ”

Yeluchento felt an invisible sense of oppression, but he was not a useless person who had never seen the world and was frightened by a scare, otherwise he would not have been sent as an envoy.

"Your Highness, the foreign minister will never dare to have such thoughts."

Yang Guang continued at this time: "What about my proposal? Your Khitan and the Great Sui have joined forces to attack Goguryeo, and now the Goguryeo army is on the border, and it will take some time for us to enter when both sides are prepared, but if your Khitan suddenly attacks their weak defenses, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"I took a cursory look at the deployment of Goguryeo's soldiers, most of them are in several cities at the junction of the Great Sui, and the border with your Khitan must be empty in defense, I know that the Khitan cavalry is fierce, as long as it is unprepared for a sneak attack, I believe that it can disrupt Goguryeo's position, and when the time comes, we will cooperate and take down Goguryeo, just around the corner."

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Yeluchen said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, we Khitans have always loved peace, and we still don't get involved in the war. ”

Yang Guang said bluntly: "Do you think that the benefits I give are too little, then it can be like this, and you don't need to send troops, you give me Goguryeo's troops to deploy on the border along your line, and let our army borrow the road, and when I win the battle of Goguryeo and conquer the city, half of the land belongs to you." ”

"You can get half of Goguryeo's land without a single soldier, how about that?"

Yang Guang gave such a condition, even if Yelu Chentuo was mentally prepared before, he would inevitably be surprised.

Looking at Yelu Chento's hesitant and surprised expression, Yang Guang added fuel and vinegar and said: "You don't have to worry about me lying to you, I have no interest in the land of Goguryeo, what I want is to win the battle, what is the use of giving me the cold and frozen place that day, I will not go over to live, there is no problem in giving you half of the land." ”

Yelu Chentuo still refused: "Your Highness, our Khitan still does not participate in the war, I am very sorry for rejecting your kindness." ”

"You person, what is there to worry about in this war that is sure to be won, when the king of Goguryeo dies, their army will definitely collapse, and in less than a year, Goguryeo will definitely be mine."

"Your Highness, you said that the king of Goguryeo would die?"

"Of course, I sent someone to send him a poisonous East China Sea merman pearl, he will live for another year or two at most, and the chronic poison will kill him, hahahaha."

Yuan Tiantian watched Yang Guang laugh wildly, stretched out his hand and pulled it, stopping Yang Guang's smile.

Yang Guang pretended as if he had just realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Qin Qiong will send Ye Luchen to rest first, we have a very pleasant conversation today, prepare the best wine and food for him, and serve him with Silla maids, don't slack off."
