In November of the first year of Kaiyuan in the Great Sui Dynasty, the tribes of Marine from the east of Haidong surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute. In the same month, Gao Jianwu, the King of Goguryeo, sent envoys to Luoyang again, and sent a letter of surrender written by himself to surrender the country, requesting the two countries to quit the war. They also paid 1,000 kilograms of gold and sent 100,000 Han people in the territory to the Great Sui Dynasty.

"The Goguryeo people were panicked." Yi Feng accepted Gao Jianwu's letter of nationality, also accepted the thousand kilograms of gold, and accepted the 100,000 Han people who returned it, but did not clearly agree to Goguryeo's request. He threw the letter of nationality, Jianwu, who signed Gao Jianwu's manure minister, to the side. Yi Feng returned to the front of the huge map in the hall and asked the Privy Councilor Wang Bao, "Where has Li Jing been?"

In Yanying Hall, the priests and officials of the two prefectures of the Privy Council gathered together and knelt on both sides of the huge map. The monarch and ministers in Yanying Hall were relatively relaxed. There were no ritual officials and other officials to pay attention to the actions and etiquette of the ministers at all times, and the monarch and ministers had a relaxed dialogue. However, only the monarchs of the two prefectures were currently only the monarchs of the two prefectures. Occasionally, relevant important officials in Beijing were summoned to attend. Important meetings that surpassed the monarchs, and the monarchs in the Daye Hall were generally not so important. Yanying's monarchs have now become an important meeting between the emperor and the monarchs, and the military affairs related to the empire are discussed.

"There is information that Datou is asking for reinforcements from Persia and Rome." The three chiefs of the Supervisory Office, Pei Zeng, the head of the Military Information Department, informed an important military information.

"I don't think you have to worry about this. When Datou's father was in charge of the western Turks, he joined forces with Persia to destroy the powerful country in the Western Regions. The two sides agreed in advance that they each took half of Yanda's land, but after victory, the Western Turks immediately turned against each other and made excuses. Finally, they attacked Persia and seized Yanda's other half. Then it triggered a war between the Western Turks and Persia. The war lasted almost twenty years. In order to fight Persia, the Western Turks united with Fulin, which was the Roman Empire to attack Persia. The battle between Persia and Rome also did not stop for twenty years. Later, the Western Turks stabilized the Yanda area. They started a war with Rome and took advantage of the opportunity of Persia and Rome to seize Rome.

In many places, Rome and the Turks have become terrified from then on. Just last year, Datou took advantage of Persia and Rome's war for years. Coupled with the weak opportunity caused by internal strife and rebellion, he sent troops to defeat Persia and fought for peace. Now Datou is weak and wants to ask for help from Persia and Rome. Persia and Rome have been tricked by the Turks and paid a heavy price. They are not stupid. How could they send troops to help him at this time? It would be better not to take the opportunity to send troops to seize the land that was robbed by the Turks before." Gao Yi, the head of the Investigation Department, sneered, although Persia and Rome are both far away from the West, the Investigation Department, but the Investigation Department had already infiltrated and installed their spies into these areas.

For the Great Sui Dynasty, which is now well-deserved to become the center of the East, it will inevitably open its horizons to the distant western region. With the advocacy of Yi Feng, the officials, civil and businessmen of the Great Sui Dynasty have long been no longer limited to the East. They have also known from many new geographical books and newspapers that although the Great Sui Dynasty is indeed the center of the world and the central country, there are both areas and ethnic groups that they have long been familiar with, as well as many areas that they did not know or were not clear about before.

Countries, such as the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, are not really the extreme western regions. This is only relatively speaking, the Western Regions, west of the Pamir Mountains. There are even wider areas, such as India, Persia, Rome, Egypt, Greece, etc., and even this is not the polar region. There are countless countries in the world, and the regions are in an undiscovered and uncovered state. Books, newspapers and magazines continue to promote these new geography. Encourage merchants of the Sui Dynasty to go to those unknown places and bring the culture of the Sui Dynasty and the goods of the Sui Dynasty to those places.

Among those merchants, monks, Taoists and others who went abroad and went to a more distant country, many of them were secret spies arranged by the Third Department of the Supervision Bureau.

"There is nothing absolute. If Persia or Rome have ambitions for the Western Regions. They take this opportunity to intervene in the Western Regions, whether they send troops to support Datou or contain Datou to retreat to their territory, it will not be a good thing for us. Persia and Rome are both the two powerful countries in the West. If these two empires want to take the opportunity to intervene in the Western Regions, then it will be a problem for the court. In the past, the Western Turks controlled the Western Regions, and even competed with each other among Persia and Rome, which made Rome and Persia constantly fight. He took the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman, stabilized the Western Regions, and also isolated the Central Plains from Persia and Rome. But now Datou has declined, and new situations will appear in the Western Regions. No one of us can guarantee whether these two countries will take the opportunity to advance east."

Yi Feng nodded. Although Liu Wenjing was not a leader, she still had a very accurate grasp of the situation. This is the case between countries, there is no friendship, but only interests. Persia and the Turks could join forces to destroy the powerful country in the Western Regions. Even the Khan of the Turks married his daughter to the Persian emperor. The two countries worked closely together to destroy a powerful kingdom of Yanda, which occupied Afghanistan at that time. But in a blink of an eye, in order to monopolize Yanda, the Turks immediately betrayed Persia, sent troops to face each other, forcibly snatched away his other half, and joined forces to attack Rome.

Persia. This is not just the cunning and untrustworthy Turks, but all countries are like this. The interests are due to their loyalty. Xinyi is just a joke. The Western Regions are fat, not to mention that the Western Turks control not only the places east of the Palacioles. Their power has long reached the west. The Western Turks have long bordered the two Western empires of Persia and Rome. Especially the Turks control the Western Regions and also control the Silk Road. The golden route of trade between the East and the West is in his hands. I don’t know how much wealth he has earned, and Persia and Rome have long been envious. If there is a chance now, who wouldn’t be moved?

Once the two countries advance eastward and want to seize the Western Regions controlled by Datou, the Sui Dynasty will be in trouble. Not only may control the Western Regions may be lost, but the Silk Road will also be controlled by others. In particular, the Western Regions have always been the western barrier of the Central Plains, and it is a solid barrier to prevent Western forces from invading the Central Plains. The imperial court wants to go to war with them in the Western Regions. At this stage, it is basically unlikely and too far away.

"I hope Li Jing can fight quickly and win the title as soon as possible, and control the Western Regions before Persia and Rome may take action. When the princes enfeoffed by the court each control their fiefs, it will be much more difficult for the two countries to reach in."

"What if Persia and Rome really send troops, what should we do?" Su Wei asked a question in everyone's mind.

"Then find a way to solve it. If both countries really send troops, then we will provoke their two tigers to fight, and then wait until both of them are injured before taking action. If only one country sends troops, then we can provoke another country. Or join forces with another country to destroy that country. In short, the Khans in the west of the Turks could play Persia and Rome in their hands, and they would roam around and fight each other for twenty years, allowing the Western Turks to reap the benefits of the fisherman. It is impossible that as the central country and the leader of the Eastern Alliance, our Sui Dynasty is not as good as a small Western Turk." Yi Feng said.

Western Regions, Sanmi Mountain, Datou Khan Temple.

Datou asked in panic, "How many people have come to Li Jing?"

The attendant replied, "A army of 300,000!"

Datou asked in surprise, "How could so many people be?"

"Li Jing's troops were unstoppable along the way, and all the troops surrendered one after another. Although Du Lan led his troops to resist, he was defeated and died. His troops also surrendered to the Sui army. Moreover, the rebel Tiele tribes in Mobei had already led their troops to cooperate with the Sui army to fight. They fought all the way, and all surrendered. Now the Tiele tribes in the Western Regions, as well as Gaochang and other countries, have taken the initiative to surrender to the Sui army and gathered in various directions. Li Jing's army has reached 300,000, and they are about to kill here."

"Why did the envoy sent to Persia have not replied yet? The Persian emperor is willing to use troops to rescue us. There are also envoys sent to Rome, have they replied?"

"No."

"No news at all?"

"No."

"Is God going to destroy me?" Datou sighed to the sky, almost collapsed inside.

"What should I do now?" the guard asked.

"Run." Datou sighed to the sky. More than a year ago, he defeated the Persian army, then marched eastward, and defeated the Dulan army. How majestic and proud he was at that time. After Dulan surrendered, his first order was to prepare to attack the Sui Dynasty. The Turkic Khanate had never conquered the Central Plains for many Khans. He wanted to become the first Turkic Khan to conquer the Central Plains. At that time, he never thought that he would be defeated so badly. In just a short time, he was desperate.

Gripping his teeth, Da head waved, "Going west, the green mountains are there, don't worry about the lack of firewood, I will come back sooner or later."

Datou's spontaneous sweating court evacuated. Three days later, Li Jing had personally led 10,000 light cavalry to chase after him. In the middle of the night, Li Jing led the light cavalry to suddenly enter the camp where Datou retreated west, and shouting and killing sounded from all sides. The Turkic camp was in chaos. Looking at the flag of the Sui Dynasty, many Turkic herders who were awakened in their dreams were frightened. They thought that the Sui Dynasty army had arrived and fled in all directions. Seeing this, Datou had to flee west surrounded by a few guards.

After a night of chaos, Li Jing used only ten thousand vanguards and light cavalry to raid the camp of more than 100,000 people. After dawn, the Sui army's follow-up troops arrived and continued to pursue the west.

Seven days later, outside the Saiyechuan, Datou and his party arrived exhausted. Datou looked at Saiyecheng and felt relieved. After running away in a panic for so many days, he finally could go to the city to rest and replenish.

As he ran closer and closer to the city, the city gate slowly opened, and Datou's face suddenly changed drastically.

I saw the city gate open, and a cavalry rushed out and galloped forward. In front of this team was a red flag with the character Sui, and behind the flag with the character Dou Da Li was a flag embroidered with the character Dou Da Li.

Li Jing had already taken a shortcut and had been ambushing here for a long time.

In a battle without any suspense, Datou, who had abandoned his tribes, was eventually captured alive by Li Jing at the foot of Suiye City. Afterwards, Li Jing sent troops and divided them into multiple routes, quickly swept away Datou's remnants, eliminated the Turkic rebels, and then presided over the division of fiefs of the princes on behalf of the emperor.

When the first snow fell in the Western Regions, Li Jing received an urgent report that the Persian emperor and the Roman emperor both sent troops to advance eastward, but halfway through, he heard that Datou had been defeated and captured. The Sui army had already controlled the Western Regions and had enfeoffed them, and then retreated.

After hearing this news, Li Jing sighed, "After waiting for this good news, the Western Regions can finally be stable, and there will be no trouble for the time being. We can also return to the court with peace of mind and send orders to the Banzhi, the princes of the grassland and the vassal states each withdraw their troops and return to their own vassal states, fiefs, and other grassland resistance leaders of the tribes entered the capital to offer prisoners."

Although it is winter in Luoyang, the weather is very sunny and warm. A white pigeon flew down in the pigeon station in Luoyang. The Pigeon Division staff rushed forward, picked up the pigeon, carefully recorded the information on the pigeon's foot ring, and then took off the message tube on the pigeon's feet. The letter was quickly delivered to Master Li. He only took a look and knew that this was an urgent letter of 100,000 sent back from Guanzhong. He immediately took the letter himself and jumped on his horse to gallop into the Luoyang Palace. (To be continued.)
