Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 381 Kingdoms in the Western Regions

Yang Yanzhang analyzed: "And the countries in the Western Regions are not willing to collude with the Turks."

Yang Yanzhang's meaning is very simple. If the countries in the Western Regions are willing to unite, the Turks will never take advantage.

Although the Turks are powerful, the countries in the Western Regions are not weak either.

"You are right." Pei Zhan nodded and said: "The countries in the Western Regions are not willing to collude with the Turks, but we must prevent the Turks from entering the Central Plains and causing trouble for the people. Yan Zhang, do you have any ideas?"

Pei Zhan was also a little anxious at this time.

After all, Yang Yanzhang is a son of the royal family. With the support of Emperor Li Jiancheng, he must have many tricks.

Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said: "I have just ascended the throne, and there are still many places that I am not familiar with, and I have not thought of a solution for the time being. But uncle, don't worry. When the imperial court sends people to support, I believe the Turkic crisis will be solved soon. By then, Let us regain the Hetao and restore the glory of our Pei family."

Pei Zhan smiled slightly and said: "Then there is Lao Yanzhang. We will set off back to Jiangning early tomorrow morning."

Yang Yanzhang nodded without saying much.

On the second day, at dawn, Pei Zhan and others left with Pei Yuanji and several direct relatives.

Yang Yanzhang did not stay long and ordered the guards to send Pei Zhan and others away before continuing to sleep.

"Your Majesty." That night, Xue Rengui suddenly appeared on his bed.

"Huh!? You're here?" Yang Yanzhang opened his eyes and said in surprise: "I remember, you should have gone to the military camp for inspection last night. How did you end up here?"

"Hehe, your Majesty's words yesterday made me realize. Since I am no longer a prince, my duty is to protect your safety. I believe that your safety is the most important."

Xue Rengui grinned and said: "So I have decided to stay with His Majesty during the day and return to the military camp for inspection at night."

After Yang Yanzhang heard this, his cheek twitched.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Yang Yanzhang said coldly.

"If Your Majesty wanted to kill me, I would have done it a long time ago." Xue Rengui said nonchalantly: "Besides, Your Majesty is the Nine-Five Supreme Being, and you rule the world, so how can you kill me."

When Yang Yanzhang heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, Damn, when did I become the Nine-Five Supreme Being? You suck at flattery, but he's too lazy to care. Since Xue Rengui is willing to follow, it is a wish.

"Okay!" Yang Yanzhang nodded.

"Your Majesty." Xue Rengui suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you think our enemies will be Turks?"

Yang Yanzhang's expression suddenly became serious.

The Turks were Li Tang's biggest threat. Emperors of all dynasties had resisted the Turks, and his uncle was also a hero. He once led an army to defeat the Turkic army and was famous among the army.

"Although the Turks are powerful, it is not easy to attack the Sui Dynasty." Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said: "The Turks want to conquer the Central Plains, even if I, the Sui Dynasty, do not have troops.

However, there are also many nomadic tribes on the grasslands. None of these tribes will let the Turks step into their territory. "

"The Turks are indeed strong, but we, the Sui Dynasty, are not soft persimmons." Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "Although the Turkic cavalry is brave, it is a fool's dream to break the city of our Sui Dynasty."

"But the iron hooves of the Turks will trample through the Central Plains sooner or later." Xue Rengui said: "And once the iron hooves of the Turks trample the Central Plains, the next target will probably be our Tang Dynasty." Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment, and then said: "No What a coincidence. When the Turks attacked the countries in the Western Regions, we rushed to Luoyang and confronted them. In this way, wouldn’t the Turks be contained in the Western Regions? This possibility is not very high. "

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten one thing. The alliance between the Turks and the Khitans has now been dissolved." Xue Rengui said: "If the Khitans and the Donghu people do not participate in this matter.

Then they can take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Western Turks, which will involve the Turks' energy. Even if the Turks want to attack the Sui Dynasty, they will not be so quick. "

Yang Yanzhang's expression changed, and after a while he said: "Would Turkic people really do this?"

Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm just guessing."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, this situation is not what I, the Sui Dynasty, want to see. We must prevent the Turks from going south." Xue Rengui said.

Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and said: "You are right, I must prevent the Turks from going south."

Yang Yanzhang understood in his heart that the world was not as simple as he imagined. There were interest disputes between the Han Dynasty and the surrounding princes and kings. For example, the Turks coveted the Central Plains, and the same was true for other princes and kings.

Now, as a young emperor who has just ascended the throne, he is still in an ignorant stage, so no matter which side he is, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he may win.

Therefore, Yang Yanzhang should take precautions in advance.

He looked at the window and murmured in a low voice: "This will put a lot of pressure on me!"

Xue Rengui saw Yang Yanzhang deep in thought, did not speak, and stood quietly next to Yang Yanzhang.

After a long time, Yang Yanzhang suddenly turned his head, looked at Xue Rengui, and said mysteriously: "Who do you think I should make the prince?"

Xue Rengui said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, it would be better for you to discuss this matter with the prince."

Yang Yanzhang glanced at Xue Rengui lightly and said: "I don't want to think about this now. I want to know your opinion. After all, in my heart, you and the prince are trustworthy."

Xue Rengui pondered for a moment and said: "I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent and good at strategy. If he succeeds to the throne, I believe that Your Majesty can rest assured."

Yang Yanzhang shook his head and sighed: "If you really give up, do you think I can rest assured? My father is depressed because of this kind of thing, so I can't take risks anymore."

Yang Yanzhang thought for a while and said: "I remember that Emperor Taizu once said that Emperor Taizong's two brothers far surpassed Emperor Taizong in both civil and martial arts.

But Emperor Taizong still established a prince. Now, although my brother Yang Yanzhang is not the best, he is not bad at all. If he can successfully overcome this difficulty, he will definitely be able to assist me in governing the Tang Dynasty in the future. "

Although Yang Yanzhang's words were gentle, Xue Rengui still felt the tragedy in Yang Yanzhang's tone.

This young monarch, who was only eighteen years old, had lived in fine clothes since he was a child. He had never suffered any hardships, and he had never even encountered such things as fighting, but he actually thought about his own future.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. Once he failed, the entire Tang Dynasty would completely collapse.

This is what Xue Rengui doesn't want to see.

"The minister thought that your majesty might as well choose a loyal eunuch to assist the new emperor in ascending the throne." Xue Rengui said: "There are a total of four eunuchs around your majesty, and you can choose any one to assist you.
