Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Guang has successfully arrived in Zhangye County. Under Pei Ju's arrangement, a total of 26 countries participated in this grand trade fair.

This frontier town, which was already very lively, became noisy with the arrival of Yang Guang. The outside of the city was full of temporary camps, and the horses and horses were like dragons.

After Yiwu was destroyed, the Western Turks originally set up Tutun in Yiwu City, and immediately began negotiations with Su Lie and the new prefect Wang Wei, intending to run Yiwu City together with Sui.

How can this be?Yang Guang couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he just told that Tutunshe to get out, and told the other party to tell the West Turkic Khan that if I don't see him in Zhangye, the West Turkic will be trampled down by my Great Sui Iron Cavalry .

Tutun is an official name of Turkic. It is the inspector sent by Turkic Khan to the vassal state. Western Turks, so there are also Tutun establishments stationed here.

This time, Yang Guang's face fell to the ground again, and Luo Khan, the mud stick of the West Turks, didn't respond at all.

So he became angry, and directly ordered Yuwen Shuhe to come to protect his children and reorganize his troops, intending to conquer the Western Turks himself.

He has this temper, he hits as soon as he says, without hesitation at all.

In the temporarily built palace, Pei Ju hurriedly persuaded:

"Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Western Turks, we should indeed express it, but there is no need for a personal conquest. I have a plan, or it can be used to complement each other."

Yang Guang frowned and said, "Say it."

Pei Ju said slowly: "Chuluo is the most powerful in Western Turks right now, but the tribes around Suiye City (southwest of Tokmak City in Kyrgyzstan) all belong to Shekui Khan, and this person belongs to Datou Khan. Sun Tzu, Chu Luo and Chu Luo have always been at odds, we can lure She Kui to attack Chu Luo to the east, and we are in a pincer attack in Zhangye."

Datou Khan was the original Great Khan of the Western Turks. In the early years, he united with the Dulan Khan of the Eastern Turks to attack Qimin. Long live, defeated their Turkic coalition forces.

Eastern Turkic Dulan died in battle, and Western Turkic Datou fled back to Yazhang. Originally belonging to the Western Turkic Tie Le more than a dozen tribes, seeing him defeated like this, he directly surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty, forcing Datou to flee to Tuyuhun. So I don't know where to go.

But Datou's grandson, She Kui, is currently the little khan in Suiye City, and he is not in harmony with Chuluo, the current Western Turkic Khan.

In fact, no matter the Turkic or Eastern Turks, they are all one family, and all Khans have the surname Ashina. They belong to relatives who fight each other because of their interests.

Da Sui was unhappy with them, and within them, each other was also unhappy with each other.

Therefore, the divisive schemes of the Sui Dynasty have always been ineffective.

Yang Guang frowned and said, "Shokui is not a good thing either. The Western Turks don't take me seriously. If I don't use troops against them, what is my prestige in the sky?"

"Of course we have to use troops," Pei Ju said with a smile, "but when it comes to fighting against the enemy, even if we use troops, we will use them when we are in an invincible position. It is the time when His Majesty will personally conscript the best troops." This is a good time to take advantage of the situation to defeat the Western Turks in one fell swoop, so that they will not invade our border again within 30 years."

"Pei Gong's move is the best policy, and the minister seconded it," Lai Huer said.

Yang Guang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Then do it according to the rules of the world. Since I have come here, I will not return empty-handed."

When he came out this time, he brought a total of 18 people, but they were all elites, and Yiwei on the left and right were there. In these two military mansions alone, there were 7 people in total, belonging to the elite of the elite, and among the trump cards. trump card.

Yang Guang's character is that he can't stand anger. If Chuluo Khan doesn't come to Zhangye to see him, it is a great shame and humiliation for Yang Guang, and he can't bear it.

How to separate, leave it to Pei Ju.

The two major diplomats of the Sui Dynasty, Pei Ju and Changsun Sheng, one was mainly engaged in the Western Regions and the other was mainly engaged in the Eastern Turks, each with a division of labor.

Pei Ju maintains a good relationship with all the countries in the Western Regions. He and the Great Khan of the Western Turks, and the Little Khan She Kui, all come here as buddies.

Pei Ju lured She Kui by offering a marriage, meaning that as long as you hit him, the Sui side will support you as the Khan of the Western Turks, and even give you a concubine princess.

The Shekui family is also a smart person, and they have long received the news that the Sui has already organized an army in Zhangye and plans to attack Chuluo.

Then this opportunity must be grasped now. In his eyes, the Western Turkic was originally his grandfather Datou Khan, and he would not recognize Chu Luo's Khan position. In terms of seniority, he is still Chu Luo's uncle.

So She Kui did not hesitate to rectify the army and horses, joined forces with Tie Le in private, and went directly to Sanmi Mountain in Yazhang in Western Turkic to kill them.

There are more than ten troops of Tie Le, and Chu Luo is the deadly enemy. They belong to the kind that you can't sleep if you don't die. Eighty thousand cavalry rushed straight to Chu Luo's lair with a surprise attack.

After several battles, the main force was defeated, and he could only lead his tribe to run towards Gaochang, because Tuyuhun in the south was also the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and if he dared to enter, it would be tantamount to invading the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang in Zhangye, panicked when he received the news. There were 4 or [-] remnants in Chuluo, which he couldn't handle, so he asked Yang Guang to send troops to support him.

Looking at the current situation, the situation is very good. Yang Guang intends to send troops, but he is stopped by Pei Ju:

"I have a plan. It doesn't cost a single soldier to make Chu Luo surrender."

Yang Guangdao: "Tell me."

Pei Ju explained: "Chu Luo's biological mother, Xiang Shi, is from the Central Plains. This time, His Majesty also brought her to Zhangye. We can let her go west to Gaochang and persuade her son to join her."

Xiang Shi is a weight in Yang Guang's hands. Twenty years after the founding of the emperor, Xiang Shi and her second husband, Poshi Teqin Khan, went to the capital to meet Yang Jian.

At that time, civil strife broke out in Western Turkic, so the two did not dare to go back, and were temporarily settled in the capital by Honglu Temple.

After her son Chu Luo took control of the situation, her second husband also died. She wanted to go back, but she couldn't, and Da Sui detained her.

Taking this as leverage, Yang Jian sent an envoy, Cui Junsu, to the Western Turks to appease Luo, so that the Western Turks professed their ministers to the Sui Dynasty.

Hearing what Pei Ju said, Yang Guang was not happy at first, he was afraid that after he was released to Shi, he would not have the hole card in his hand to check and balance.

But after thinking about it, your mother is in my hands, and you don't respect me, so it's the same with or without Xiang Shi.

So he nodded and said: "Let her tell Chu Luo that if she doesn't come and surrender, I will lead the army to destroy it."

So Pei Ju sent a mission of 500 people to escort Xiang Shi to Gaochang, while Yu Wenshu personally led an army of [-], passed Yumen Pass, and went to Yiwu City. The troops suppressed Gaochang and put pressure on Chu Luo.

The Shekui and Tiele people in the west want to kill me, and Yang Guang in the east may let me live. How should I choose?It's actually a good choice.

No one would make things difficult for him. In the current situation where things were attacking, Chu Luo was doomed to have no third choice, so he led the remnants of 8000 people and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.

On Yang Guang's side, he adopted Pei Ju's suggestion and divided the tribe under Chu Luo into three parts.

Chuluo's younger brother, Que Dushe, led 7000 old and weak members of the clan, and was settled in Huining County, which is just north of Longxi County and belongs to the Guanlong area.

Another main force, Ashina Danai, was asked to live in Loufan County in Shanxi, which is the west of Xinzhou City in later generations.

Ashina Danai was very famous in history. He followed Yang Guang to fight Goguryeo, and later rebelled with Li Yuan. Finally, Li Yuan gave him the surname Shi, that is, Shi Danai.

Among the people with the surname Shi in later generations, some came from the Turkic surname Ashina. Of course, it was a very small part. The largest Shi surname came from Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese characters. It is from him.

And Cangjie is from Henan, so the ancestor of the surname Shi was in Henan.

As for the last Chuluo Khan, Yang Guang didn't let him go elsewhere, and he will follow me from now on, as an errand runner.

The Western Turkic Chuluo era ended just like that, and She Kui was a smart man who came to Zhangye to meet Yang Guang in person and presented [-] horses.

If Chu Luo had done the same at the beginning, it would not be the end today.

Yang Guang originally intended that he didn't want to seal Shekui as the Great Khan of the Western Turks, but now this kid and the Tiele people have occupied the Yazhang Sanmi Mountain of the Western Turks, and won the support of the surrounding tribes.

If Yang Guang denies it, this kid will have to fight back.

Today's Western Turks have been seriously injured, and Yang Guang thought it was impossible to do so, so he ordered Shekui to be the Great Khan of Western Turks.

Pei Ju's original intention was to take this opportunity to destroy Gao Chang, but Yang Guang did not agree.

Because Qu Boya is so good at flattering, he made Yang Guang very happy, and he directly called his father, because he married Princess Heqin, and Princess Heqin was recognized as a daughter by Yang Guang, so it is completely appropriate for him to be called Daddy .

In addition to the current internal instability of the Western Turks, Gaochang can only move closer to the Sui Dynasty, so there is no worry for the time being.

Seeing a man who was older than the emperor, who kept calling him the emperor's father, Pei Ju felt awkward.

It was at this time that the imperial edict from the Ministry of Internal History arrived.

"Qimin and Changsun Sheng are both dead?" In the palace, Yang Guang was not happy.

He is really unhappy, not pretending.

Because Qimin was single-handedly supported by Da Sui, and he has a close relationship with Da Sui. Moreover, when Yang Guang was touring the north, Qi Min also worked hard to entertain him, and his loyalty was commendable. Changsun Sheng was the most important person in the communication between Da Sui and Eastern Turks. Well, if these two hang up, it will be a huge loss for Da Sui.

Pei Ju also had a heavy heart, frowned and said:
"Qimin's eldest son, Tuo Jishi, I've seen him before. He's young and energetic, and he's not easy to deal with."

Yu Wenshu also said: "The crown prince allowed Du Jishi to inherit the Khan throne, and he should have considered this point. The Turkic is the eldest son's succession. Du Jishi had already controlled the largest tribes in Turkic a long time ago. His The few younger brothers are not mature yet, that is to say, he can control the situation after Qimin's death."

"I don't like this man," Yang Guang said angrily, holding a letter in his hand, "and the tone of the imperial edict is too kind. In the letter, the crown prince also advised me to appease the Hulu? I appease the Hulu? What did he think?" of?"

Pei Ju hurriedly said: "I think the crown prince's concern is very appropriate. Right now we can only appease him, but we need to send envoys to Turkic to see what kind of character this new khan is and whether he is close to the Sui Dynasty. Think long term."

"No!" Yang Guang threw the letter away, waved his sleeves, and said, "I have never used such a tone in the letter of credence, so I will change it now."

Pei Ju was instructed by Yang Ming to persuade him to persuade Yang Guang, but no matter how good his tongue was, he couldn't persuade such an assertive person like Yang Guang.

So the imperial edict was written by Yu Shinan, and changed to the tone that the upper court should have for the vassal state, but under Pei Ju's disturbance, a few more gentle words were added.

On the whole, some expressed condolences for Qimin's death, and hoped that Duo Jishi would inherit his father's will and continue to be loyal to Tai Sui. There were also some hints that if Du Jishi was disobedient, Tai Sui would punish you.

This is East Turkic. Whether he will be a vassal depends entirely on whether the internal stability is stable. If the internal stability is stable, it will hope that the Great Sui will be a vassal to it.

The Eastern Turks in the next ten years will unlock the unprecedented achievements of the northern nomads in China for thousands of years:

Control strings a million!
