Chapter 72 Decisions

? In Chang'an, in the palace, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui was checking the memorial. Since the war broke out again in June, there was a war launched by the Zhou army in the east, and the one that caused his headache the most was the Turkic army that gathered hundreds of thousands of people southwards.>

The Turkic soldiers were trampled by iron cavalry from Muqiu and Shimen in Pinggao County, Yuanzhou, Wuwei County in Liangzhou, Tianshui County in Qinzhou, Anding County in Jingzhou, Jincheng County in Hezhou, Central County in Fuzhou, Zhaoxing County in Ningzhou, Piancheng County in Yanzhou and other places.

The opponent was coming in a fierce manner, so the Sui army naturally would not sit and wait for death. In mid-June, General Han Sengshou broke into the Turkic Mountains; in the late month, Li Chong, the upper pillar country, defeated the Turkic Mountains, in Mayi. The Turkic Datou Khan invaded Hezhou, and the Liangzhou general manager Helou Zigan blocked him under Keluo Island.

The Turkic cavalry was blocked at the mountain pass and could not be left. The Sui army formed a village to control the water source. A few days later, the Turkic cavalry was hungry and thirsty, so the Sui army took the opportunity to attack and defeat it;

But bad news also came one after another. Another Turkic army led by Shaboluo Khan entered Ningzhou. The marching chief Da Xi Changru met him in Zhou Pan in Zhaoxing County but was defeated.

Feng Yu of the Zhu Kingdom was stationed in Yifupo, Liangzhou, and Lanzhou General Manager Chi Lie-Chang Wen guarded Lintao, Hezhou, and Shangzhu Kingdom Li Chong defended Mayi. They were all defeated by the Turkic army. All the troops marched towards Chang'an and were gradually approaching.

Gao Yang, Duke of Bohai County, and Yu Qing, Duke of Qinyuan County, led elite troops to fight. Prince Yang Yong led his army to station in Xianyang to calm the people. The Sui army gathered a large army in Guanzhong to prepare for the battle. As the front line was extended, the Turks' offensive momentum weakened, the Sui army would be raided by their rear routes. As long as they were hit by the head, the morale of the army would be unstable.

Then it's time for that person to play.

The commander of the chariot, Changsun Sheng, escorted the daughter of Zhou to the Turks two years ago. The Turkic Khan was moved by Changsun Sheng's superb martial arts skills, so he was left alone in the Turks and was not allowed to return to China. During a hunting trip, Changsun Sheng shot two eagles with an arrow at the same time, which was to kill two eagles with one arrow.

Changsun Sheng took the opportunity to record the mountains, rivers and terrain under the rule of the Turks, the relationships between the tribes and the strength of the strength. After being stranded in the Turks for more than a year, he was able to return to Chang'an.

Yang Jian knew Changsun Sheng's talent, and the other party told the Turks all the weaknesses and reality. It was through this "Prairie Tong" that everyone had an understanding of the Turks's background: the other party was not peaceful.

"As long as you can defeat the Turkic edge, there will be a gap between the Khans. Changsun Sheng will be able to make a big move if he is sowed by another attack." Yang Jian murmured to himself, he was encouraging himself.

Changsun Sheng stayed in the grassland for more than a year and made friends with many Turkic nobles. Today, Chu Luohou, the younger brother of Shaboluo Khan (photo taken by Ashina), is very close to Changsun Sheng. With various ways and the unfavorable reality of the war, Changsun Sheng can completely alienate the relationship between all parties within the Turks.

Last year, Turkic Tuobo Khan died of illness while leading his troops south to attack Chang'an. He knew that his son Anluo was incompetent, so he left a last word to pass it on to his second brother Mugan Khan's son Daluo, but it caused a storm.

Tuobo Khan's elder brother was Yixiji Khan. His son, Shotu, was strong and claimed that if Daluo ascended the throne, he would rebel, and if Anluo, the son of his ex-Khan, ascended the throne, he would surrender.

Daluo's strength is not as good as the photographer. His biological mother is humble and unable to suppress the Turkic nobles. He had no choice but to give way to Anluo. After Anluo ascended the throne, he could not suppress Daluo's power, and even more so, he weighed the pros and cons and then passed the throne to the photographer.

These three cousins ​​had a scheming and took pictures to ascend the throne as they wished and became the Turkic Khan named himself Shaboluo Khan, and then the hidden danger was laid.

The picture of the righteous and righteous person who insisted on being fair turned out to be a Khan. Daluo, who should have sat in that position, could not swallow this breath. Shaboluo Khan used Daluo as Apo Khan in order to comfort him, and Anluo was alone in Luoshui and called the Third Khan.

Apo Khan naturally had no choice but to deal with Shaboluo Khan. Both sides were secretly guarding against each other, but the trouble was not over yet, and the powerful factions in the west were not honest.

The Turkic Khanate is divided into two parts: the east and west. Now the pictures of the Shaboluo Khan Ashina are the strongest in the east, but the western Turkic Khan Ashina Satoshi is even stronger than him.

The father and son of the Sajue were the ones who were Datou Khan. He had been in the western part of the Khanate for many years, but his status was not as strong as those of the little khans in the eastern part. Photographs that were weaker than him became the highest leader of the Turks, so he naturally was not convinced.

Sha Boluo was guarding against Datou and Apo Khan, but his younger brother Chuluo Hou was not a good-for-nothing lamp. Chuluo Hou was meticulous and could win people's hearts. He was very famous among the Turkic nobles. Because of this, Sha Boluo Khan also guarded against his younger brother usurping the throne.

These intriguing Khans are now leading their troops south. Once the war is unfavorable, their minds will be active. They should not only prevent the Sui army from being severely damaged, but also prevent being stabbed by other Khans in the back. Therefore, the Turkic army seems to be crowded but very likely to have internal strife.

"The two children are always filial, even if the country is poor." Yang Jian murmured as he looked at the words written on the map, showing a firm look on his face, "I thought the Central Plains was the pasture that you were waiting for, and if you wanted to go!"

The Turks were originally Rouran's forging slaves and were good at forging iron weapons. Later, Rouran weakened and they took the opportunity to rise. At that time, it was the Western Wei Dynasty. During the war between the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Turks not only annexed the territory of their original owners, but also benefited from the fishermen between the Western Wei (Northern Zhou) and the Eastern Wei (Northern Qi).

In order to win over them, Zhou and Qi rushed to take out generous gifts and bribes, taking this opportunity to become more arrogant. Turks became more arrogant. Tuobo Khan said proudly, "The two children are always filial, even if the country is poor."

This sentence made Yang Jian angry. As a man who was determined to be the world, he could not stand this kind of contempt.

Nearly twenty years ago, at the end of the third year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou army brought together 100,000 Turkic troops to attack Qi. Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong led his troops to the expedition as the marshal of the marshal. He arrived at the city of Jinyang, Qi in the first month of the following year.

At that time, the snow was heavy and the wind was cold. The Qi army, which had the advantage of the number of people, launched a fierce attack on the Zhou army. The Turkic soldiers of 100,000 were afraid of fighting, so they could only lead the marshal Yang Zhong to fight and defeat the Qi army and retreat.

My father never took the Turks seriously, so Yang Jian didn't think that the Turks were so scary. The other party was just a powerful person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong.

In this battle, his focus was on the north. The evil wolf of the Turks would only know fear if it was hurt. Yang Jian already knew the intrigues between the other party and decided to take this opportunity to make a ruthless person and then provoke the other party's civil war to avoid going south from time to time to harass him.

Now the Zhou army in the east is entangled and continues to attack Luozhou, Yuzhou, Hezhou, Wuzhou General Administration, Yang Jian and Gao Bing have made plans to protect Luozhou, Yuzhou, Hezhou, and Wuzhou.

Compared with the territory of Zhou when Zhou destroyed Qi five years ago, the Sui State also controlled the land west of Tongguan. Without the three general administrations of Jingzhou, Xiangzhou and Anzhou in Shannan, there were more than Bingzhou, Luozhou, Yuzhou, Hezhou and Wuzhou. He did not think he would lose.

Guanzhong, the basic foundation for the Zhou Kingdom to compete for the world, was in his hands. Compared with Henan, Huaibei, Huainan and Jiangbei, which had been through war, the manpower and material resources were much more abundant. As long as the interference from the Turks in the north was eliminated, Zhou Kingdom might not be able to withstand it after the full attack.

The places in Hebei, Henan, Huaibei and Huainan that Zhou State now controls are the former lands of Qi State. It takes a lot of time to straighten out various relationships. The various problems faced by Qi State back then still need to be solved now.

If it cannot be solved, then the fate of Zhou State will be the same as that of Qi State. With only a vast territory, huge household registration, and large amount of troops, they still cannot gather strength. The endless internal friction and political struggle will cause this seemingly strong country to collapse.

Time is on his side, so you can't hurry, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Yang Jian straightened his mind and no longer worried about the war in the north. Gao Yang and Yu Qing, who fought this time, were his right-hand man, and he would definitely be able to give the Turks a headache.

Put away the maps and accidentally slipped the brush to a place with ink dots. The eunuch next to him quickly took the cloth to wipe it. Yang Jian looked at the ink dot and his eyelids jumped.

This picture is a map of the states in Shannan, and the ink dot falls near the boundary of the Huangzhou General Administration. When he sees this position, his mood becomes worse instantly.

The evil wolf in the north is annoying, but it can withstand it. There is another evil wolf on the edge of the Yangtze River in the east, which makes Yang Jian grit his teeth. His precious daughter Yang Lihua is now being taken to Bazhou in Jiangbei by the evil wolf. Even with his granddaughter, he doesn't know when he will come back.

"Even my son, this bastard!" Yang Jian was so angry that he was itchy. Several groups of people he sent to Bazhou had suffered heavy casualties. At least the master sent in the end stood firm. According to the news sent back, Yang Lihua gave birth to a son for the bastard.

This is helpless. Yang Jian has been mentally prepared since he judged that his daughter was kidnapped by "Yuwen Evil Wolf". It would be strange if a young woman fell into the hands of a thief and was not allowed to be so.

He was hesitating whether to tell the queen Dugu Jialuo the news. Two years ago, Yang Lihua disappeared in the Chang'an Palace. Dugu Jialuo had been missing his daughter and granddaughter. Yang Jian found that his daughter was captured by "Yuwen Evil Wolf" and then turned to Bazhou. He did not dare to tell the truth.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Yang Jian was still a little worried. He felt that if the queen knew that her daughter was suffering in Bazhou, she would be furious. The consequence was that Yuwen Liang, who had forced him to send troops to attack Shannan all day long.

Then Yuwen Wen, who was on the edge of the Yangtze River, fled. This "evil wolf" would take Yang Lihua to Jiangnan to join Chen State. When he was living under someone else's roof, he would not have any thoughts. Yang Lihua, who was already a concubine, might be given as a gift to others.

My Yang Jian’s daughter is the golden branches and jade leaves of the Great Sui Dynasty, and she must not end like this!

When Yang Jian thought that his daughter would fall to such a level, he couldn't help but feel like a knife. He had sent someone to lurk in Xiyang City, Bazhou to prepare for the rescue of Yang Lihua in the future.

Yuwen Elang locked his daughter and granddaughter in the mansion. The masters could not get in and could only lurk outside. The other party had great skills in "dogs" and it was already the limit for them to lurk, so Yang Jian's order was to adapt to the situation.

Once the evil wolf wants to escape, he will save Yang Lihua and Yuwen Eying no matter what. For this reason, he will not hesitate to make a great reward: Those who have made meritorious service will be awarded the title of county duke and will be awarded the title of founding the government.

"When I deal with the evil wolf in the north, I will take out my hand to deal with you, the evil wolf!"

Just when Yang Jian cursed Yuwen Wen to death, Empress Dugu Jialuo walked in. Because the queen often assisted in handling government affairs and reviewing memorials, she often went in and out of the imperial study.

"The queen?" Yang Jian stood up to greet him. Every time he went to court, the queen would walk outside the hall with his chariot before stopping. If there were any omissions when handling government affairs, the queen would promptly raise some points.

‘He is a good wife, but he is too strict. He can’t even look at a woman more...’ Yang Jian thought so, thinking that he could not say anything else.

Dugu Jialuo's purpose is very simple: their second son, King Yang Guang of Jin, is old, and it is time to choose a good wife to go through the family.

"I originally wanted to marry Liang..." Yang Jian sighed. Liang was a vassal state of Zhou. In fact, he had to let him control it before July last year. If it weren't for the fact that Yuwen Liang of Anzhou sent troops to control Jiangling, Liang was now a vassal state of Sui.

The royal family of the Liang Kingdom, also known as the Xiao family in Lanling, was a famous family. The royal princess was worthy of his King of Jin of the Great Sui Dynasty. He originally wanted to choose a princess to marry him and failed.

"It was all the damn Anzhou army who killed Liu Honglu, but also dominated Jiangling, especially Yuwen Wen!" Dugu Jialuo suddenly became excited as he said, "It was a disaster for the Liang Kingdom Palace, and it seemed that it also harmed a princess!"

Yang Jian couldn't help but nodded, but was stunned in the end. The queen said that Liu Honglu was Liu Zhuang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of Liang. Liu Zhuang had always advocated that Liang Guo stand on his side.

Last July, the Anzhou army controlled Jiangling. Liu Zhuang went to the danger to rescue Emperor Liang Xiao Kui from the clutches of the demon.

At that time, Yuwen Evil Wolf was also in Jiangling. It is said that he was one of the culprits of the matter. But this is not the point. Yang Jian was curious why the queen knew Yuwen so clearly?

What's wrong with being very angry at Yuwen Wen's "It seems that he's still a disaster to a princess"? It seems that the queen has a lot of objection to Yuwen Wen?

When Dugu Jialuo saw that she was not good at letting go, she had learned about the whereabouts of her daughter Yang Lihua through the Duke of Pei, and her baby daughter had been captured by Yuwen Wen's evil wolf and transferred to Bazhou.

She was furious when her husband learned about this and attacked the states in Shannan. If the evil wolf saw that the situation was not good, he ran to Jiangnan to join Chen State and sent Yang Lihua to the fortunate for glory and wealth, it would be too late to regret it, so she did not inform the inside story for the time being.

It is said that she and Yuwen Wen have nothing to do with each other, but they just said in anger. If the husband came to his senses, he would doubt why he was following Yuwen Wen.

"Na Luoyan... Your Majesty, leave this matter to my concubine." Dugu Jialuo quickly took the lead. Of course, his son's marriage is indeed important. If a daughter-in-law is virtuous, you must know that the most important thing is to take care of his husband and children is to respect his parents-in-law.

"After so many years, just call Na Luoyan." Yang Jian smiled. His word was Na Luoyan, and the Sanskrit word means Vajra indestructible. The couple who have been using it for decades have been used to calling each other.

"It is different from the past. Your Majesty is already the king of a country." Dugu Jialuo said solemnly. Of course, the king of a country must have rules, but the rest are easy to say, no one is allowed to mention the three palaces and six courtyards. Whoever dares to mention it is a treacherous minister, a great treacherous minister.

"What the queen said is that the queen will arrange the matter of choosing a concubine for the King of Jin."

Seeing that the queen volunteered to Ying and Yang Jian, he was busy with state affairs and had no energy to run around for the marriage of his second son. He didn't dare to say much about Yuwen Wen mentioned earlier. If the other party noticed something was wrong, it would be very troublesome.
