The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 180 Southern Khan (recommended for collection)

Seven days later, Yang Tong marched into Yecheng with a triumphant army. The green brick walls were thick and solid, majestic and profound.There are city towers, archery towers and gate towers on the city gate.Majestic and majestic.Under the afternoon sun, this big city crawling on the snow became shiny, like a city of miracles.

With the arrival of the triumphant division, the city of Ye was boiling, and the whole city was mobilized. Countless people beat gongs and drums to welcome and created an earth-shattering Great Sui soldier. The whole group received a grand reception. The cheers and praises of the people of the city.

The people of Yecheng are all refugees from all corners of the country, and they cherish the peaceful days very much. They respect the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who often brought great victories, because they know that a powerful army that is invincible in all battles is the guarantee of their happy life. It is said that among all the forces in the world, in terms of supporting and loving the army alone, the Great Sui, which has a mass base, is definitely second to none.Not to mention the newly merged Bingzhou and Guannei Road, but the happiness index of the people in Jizhou and Youzhou is definitely the highest among the twelve states. Today's life is better than before the troubled times, because not only are they not affected by the aristocratic families , Exploitation by the local rich, the government also divided the land, and gave each household a cattle for free.

Where did this cattle come from?It was the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who used their lives to snatch it from the extremely vicious Khitan, Xi, Turkic, and Goguryeo people, but in the end they gave it to the people for free. How can the people not support the army and love the army?
Yang Tong's return to Yecheng also relieved the Turks and Goguryeo who had been worrying about themselves. Yang Tong stayed in Pegasus County. When Yang Tong returned to Yecheng, the pressure also subsided a lot.

When Yang Tong returned to Yecheng, Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande, the three princes who were neighbors of Yang Tong, were very nervous. Fortunately, Yang Tong didn't seem to be interested in getting involved in the disputes in the Central Plains, but Dou Jiande was under a lot of pressure. Well, the navy in the Bohai Sea and the tens of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Yellow River are not just kidding around. It's hard to say when they will call.

But having said that, Yang Tong is really not interested in opening up new territories, the foundation is not solid, and he doesn't know when he loses it.Think about why Liu Heita was able to sweep the entire Jizhou in a short period of time in history?Dou Jiande's huge popularity is one of them. The most important thing is that Li Tang unified the country too quickly and did not control Jizhou well, so it fell in a few months. If it hadn't been for Li Shimin and many famous generals and fierce generals, the world is very likely to come back again. Chaos.

Yang Tong didn't want to suffer this loss, so he decided to stop and lay a solid foundation. Too fast development is not a good thing, but there is one thing that must be done, that is, the Turks cannot be given a rest. Mo is the most suitable.

"Simo... See Your Highness!" When Ashina Simo saw Yang Tong, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage. Before, because of Yang Tong's request for assistance in the battle, and because of his own strength, there was a bit of contempt. Yang Tong was in awe.

This guy in front of him is really, really ruthless.

He personally led the team to set off a bloodbath in Turkic, and he burned the Tongluo tribe with a population of several 10. Even if Turkic is not as good as before, Jieli Khan cannot compare with Shibi Khan at all, but thin A dead camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how arrogant Ashina Simo is, he doesn’t think he is comparable to Jieli who dominates the grassland. I dare not let a fart go.

Now when he faces Yang Tong again, he is not only grateful for the good treatment he has given him, but also completely in awe of the vicious Yang Tong.

"Nanfang Khan, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't be too polite, get up quickly." Yang Tong helped him up affectionately.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ashina Simo stood up respectfully, bowed and said, "I don't know what orders your Highness has for you to come here this time?"

Yang Tong laughed and said, "Now you are considered the overlord of one side, the overlord should have the spirit of a overlord, there is no need to be so cautious."

"Don't dare, Your Highness will always be the emperor, but there is an order, Simo will die!" Ashina Simo looked at Yang Tong's smile, his heart tightened for no reason, and his expression became more respectful.

overlord?

What kind of overlord is he, a tribal leader surrounded by the Great Wall in Sui territory?Jieli is the real prairie overlord, but so what?Isn't this prairie overlord now a stepping stone for Yang Tong to become famous?
Yang Tong said with a smile: "This time I invited you to Yecheng, but I have a big deal to share with you. If this happens, you will definitely become a great Turkic Khan just like Qimin Khan. Let me look down on you before." people prostrate at your feet."

Hearing this, Ashina Simo's eyes lit up. Although he was afraid of Yang Tong, he also admired Yang Tong's ability.Yang Tong has never failed since he made his fortune.And the phrase "Let those who looked down on you before crawl under your feet" especially moved him.

Although he is also the son of Qimin, he has never been trusted. The reason is that his mother is just a Sogdian slave girl, and he has inherited the appearance of a Sogdian.Therefore, Ashina Simo is not regarded as the same kind by the Ashina family. In the eyes of Qimin and his other sons, Ashina Simo is no different from a servant.His father and brother are like this, others will naturally not take him seriously, if not for his hard life, he would have died at the hands of his brothers long ago.He was content with whatever happened, and thought that this would be the end of his life, but Yang Tong's words opened a whole new door for him, and inside the door was the glory of aloofness.

He was moved.

"Your Highness, please give me instructions, but Simo will do his best to assist you if there is an assignment." Ashina Simo's heart beat faster.

"Your tribe has [-] soldiers, and Jieli has almost the same number. Now, the Turkic tribes are busy with disaster relief and resettlement of tribes, and they are fighting with each other. I thought this was an opportunity to send troops to plunder, and your tribe With the protection of the Great Wall, you can travel lightly and have no worries at all." Yang Tong also stopped being polite and went straight to the point.

"Send troops to rob?" Ana Shi Simo's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Yang Tong in surprise.

"Do you know how much I seized this time?" Yang Tong asked himself and answered, "65 horses, including 39 war horses, 21 cattle, the most sheep, enough More than 360 million. There are more than 200 million sheets of various woolen materials, more than 30 catties of dried meat, and countless gold, silver, jewelry and jade. Nearly [-] people were captured."

"So much?" Ashina Simo was taken aback. Compared with him, this gain was more than ten times.

"Yes, it's that much!" Yang Tong said with a smile, "Do you know why I snatched so much, and you are less than [-]%?"

"It's the generals of the Sui Dynasty who are brave and good at fighting." Ashina Simo said respectfully.

"That's true, but it's secondary! Because when I went this trip, I didn't really experience a big battle. And you have more people than me, you fought more big battles than me, and you died two times more. What’s the reason? Because you don’t know the art of war, you don’t know tactics! You’re so reckless, you’ll lose your fortune sooner or later.”

"Ashamed!" Ashina Simo blushed.

Yang Tong smiled and said: "I decided to send General Qin Qiong to lead you to fight. Qin Qiong has more than ten years of military career, and was the number one general under the command of General Zhang Xutuo, the God of War in the Sui Dynasty. He is indispensable in every battle I have! We This time the troops were divided into two groups, and Ba Yegu, Xue Yantuo, and Ge Luolu were conquered by him. With him in command, you can at least reduce your losses by more than half. When your strength reaches 20 soldiers, even if it is Xieli doesn't dare to be your enemy easily, when I get out my hand, we will take down Xieli together, then you will be the master of Yudujin Mountain."

Ashina Simo's eyes are bright, if he is really big enough to have 20 soldiers, then after the annexation of Jieli, he will be the Great Khan of the Turks, completely out of Yang Tong's control.He bowed to Yang Tong and said, "Simo is willing to follow His Highness to the death! We welcome General Qin to be the commander of our army."

"Okay, when it's time to break it, it's courageous!" Yang Tong laughed with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, I wonder when we will send troops?"

"It's not too late, General Qin Qiong will go to Baicheng with you tomorrow." Yang Tong sneered inwardly, this guy's ambition has been tested by this test, if he is really not of my race, his heart must be different.Next, let your soldiers consume Jieli Khan's war potential. When Shubao's prestige is the highest in the entire army, there is no need for you Ashina Simo to exist.

But even though he didn't have to worry about Qin Qiong's safety, Yang Tong still gave him the Rage Army, but although Qin Qiong was moved, he didn't want it. It was the army guarding Yang Tong, and Yang Tong's safety was more important than anyone else. In the end, he actually chose Ten thousand good cavalry recruits believed that with training methods, sooner or later they would be able to train a strong army no less than the Raging Wave Army.

Seeing his insistence, Yang Tong didn't force it. Anyway, the main force was Turkic, and Qin Qiong, who knew Yang Tong's intentions, would definitely not let the recruits go to waste, and the new recruits had been tempered in the war, and they would change a batch every one or two months. For recruits, the recruits have also become 'veterans' who are not afraid of war.

After Qin Qiong left, Yang Tong handed over the Nutao Army to Niu Jinda, and at the same time, let Yuchixue's Tsunami Army expand to [-], while the number of Xuanjia Army and Feiyu Bowriders remained unchanged.
