The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 162 Arrogance (recommended for collection)

Chaotian Temple side hall!
Yang Tong received the Turkic envoy. This man was called Kang Sumi, a confidant of Jieli, and the first official under Jieli's seat. He was about forty years old, with extremely broad shoulders, Turkic features, and several ponytails. , with a bald forehead, looks very sturdy.

"Kang Sumi pays his respects to His Highness King Qin."

Facing Yang Tong, Kang Sumi, as an envoy, did not dare to show any arrogance, and greeted Yang Tong with Turkic etiquette.

"The envoy doesn't need to be polite! Please sit down!" Yang Tong smiled lightly.

"Thank you for sitting!"

It was the first time for Kang Sumi to meet Yang Tong, and he didn't have the Tyrannosaurus image in his impression at all. He was handsome, although he was modest and tolerant, but his gestures were indescribably calm, which showed his grace and grandeur. It seems to have included all the beauty of Zhong Ling between heaven and earth.

"The envoy came to Yecheng, what's the matter?"

"This time the Khan came here on behalf of the Turks, firstly to express Turkic respect for the Sui Dynasty, and secondly to inform the Sui Dynasty that the Jieli Khan had defeated Tiele and merged the headquarters and the Chuluo Khan into one. Now it is my Great Khan of Turks! The Great Khan very much hopes that Great Sui will send envoys to congratulate him so as to maintain the lasting friendship between our two countries."

"If I remember well, Qimin and Shibi both came to the Great Sui Kingdom to accept the canonization of our emperor before ascending to the throne, while Chu Luo accepted my canonization after the defeat and expressed that they would continue their friendship... Although the two There was a period of unhappy time in the country, but the two countries have reconciled after all, and Chu Luo also recognized that the Sui Dynasty is the orthodox and the suzerain of the Turks! Why did Jieli go against his father and brother's behest?"

Yang Tong spoke very clearly, and his expression was very casual, but there was an elusive coldness hidden in the casual smile,

He frowned slightly, giving people a cold and chilling feeling, like a cold god above the clouds.A pair of deep and sharp eyes, like sharp arrows, showing their sharpness.

Kang Sumi was startled inwardly, but he still answered this sharp question with a dry smile: "We Turks often say that slaves will betray the master one day, and only brotherhood is a permanent friendship. We are willing to become brothers with Da Sui and never invade .”

"Is brotherhood an eternal friendship?"

"Correct!"

"Chu Luo and Shibi have the same parents, that's enough for brothers! But Chu Luo killed Shibi and his two sons! So what?" Yang Tong laughed teasingly, and said, "It seems that you The eternal brotherhood is nothing more than this!"

This question made Kang Sumi very embarrassed, his face turned red and then pale, and he sat stiff in his seat like a stone sculpture.

Yang Tong said: "The grassland has always been dominated by the weak and the strong, and the survival of the fittest, and I also believe in the creed of the survival of the fittest. There are only eternal interests between countries, and there is no eternal friendship. If you need to say something about friendship, just tell me your intention and request!"

On the side, Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, Wei Yunqi, Kong Yingda, and Ling Jing heard the words "There are only eternal interests between countries, but no eternal friendship". Both eyes gradually brightened up!
And the saying that "governing the country only pays attention to profit" made them feel spiritually baptized... In the exchanges between countries, for the benefit of their own country, some things that benefit others and harm themselves should not be given to them; Things should indeed be done in a big way.

Kang Sumi laughed a few times, and said: "We have six conditions: first, the two sides are no longer a subordinate relationship, but two equal countries; second, liberalize trade restrictions, no longer set restrictions on the types of goods, and at the same time, encourage non-governmental trade. Rise; Thirdly, Your Highness, please return the golden wolf head banner"

"What's the fourth and fifth?" Yang Tong expected the first two conditions, but the golden wolf-headed banner was unexpected, but he felt relieved after thinking about it.

The golden wolf-head banner is of no use to Yang Tong, but it is a symbol of the Turkic Khan, which is equivalent to the jade seal of the Central Plains. Now, it has fallen into the hands of Yang Tong, just like the Chuanguo Yuxi has fallen into the hands of others, it is normal for Jieli to want to get it back.

However, now Yang Tong wants to know what the fourth and fifth conditions are.

"The fourth condition is to dismantle the Great Wall and return the Monan Grassland centered on the Khan Court in the south to us Turks."

The grassland peoples have always coveted the Monan grassland, and it is not unreasonable, because the north of Yinshan Mountain is the well-known Mongolian Plateau.This Mongolian plateau is not a vast grassland, but a barren and barren place composed of two parts of the Gobi Desert. Only a part of the place has a dry grassland with only short grass, which is suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

It is high in the south and low in the north, and the climate is very harsh. It is winter for more than five or six months a year, and it is often accompanied by heavy snowstorms.Summer is hot and short with little precipitation.Moreover, the climate is unpredictable. One moment it was cool and autumnal, and the next second it will be full of strong winds and flying sand and rocks.Sometimes it even snows suddenly.But even if it is so bad, the prairie people will still fight to the death for a little grassland.

The Monan Grassland is different. The Monan Grassland is the only natural grassland close to the south that is suitable for grassland people to live. Because it is close to the south, there are plenty of water and grass, and the four seasons are distinct. Compared with the Central Plains, it is not very good, but it is better than Mongolia. Plateau is much better.

However, the Monan Grassland is so close to the Central Plains that even the emperors on the Prairie could not establish their capitals here. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, most of the most powerful and loyal tribes were arranged to enjoy this fertile and rare treasure land.

At that time, Qimin was like a bereaved dog with nowhere to hide. Yang Jian placed Qimin in Monan in order to implement the strategy of dividing, alienating, and splitting the Turks. It was built by the people, but the Monan Grassland has always been the territory of the Sui Dynasty, but the Turks have always used Baicheng as their capital since then, and they have not left...

At the beginning and end of the period, the Turks lived in the land where the Sui Dynasty settled them, and lived in the city built for them by the people of the Sui Dynasty, but they betrayed the Sui Dynasty and raided Yang Guang, who was patrolling the north, and thus the famous Yanmen Siege occurred. Great shame.If it wasn't for Princess Yicheng's righteousness and risking her life to lie that there were soldiers from the north to invade, causing Shibi Khan to withdraw his troops, Yang Guang might have been arrested or killed.

After Shibi died in Mayi, Yang Tong took advantage of Daqingshan and Yinshan to extend the New Great Wall from the northeast, directly enclosing the Monan Grassland, which Huayi repeatedly fought for.If the grassland people want to get the Monan grassland, they must either capture the new Great Wall, or allow Ashina Simo to survive in the Central Plains like Yang Tong is doing now.

Now, Kang Sumi has the face to say 'return', can you be more shameless?Not to mention that Yang Tong was angry, even Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, Wei Yunqi, Kong Yingda, Ling Jing and others all had the urge to kill someone.

"What about the fifth condition? What is it?"

After hearing Xieli's arrogant begging for the Monan Grassland, Yang Tong's tone became very gentle, but Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, Wei Yunqi, Kong Yingda, and Ling Jing who were familiar with him knew that this It is the precursor of Yang Tong's rampage and killing people!

"Fifth, ask the Great Sui Dynasty to behead Asina Simo, and return all the subordinates to me for Turkic governance." Kang Sumi saw Yang Tong's gentle tone, a smile on his face, and his spirits were lifted.

"Continue to the sixth condition."

"Sixth, if the above five conditions can reach a friendly consensus, our Great Khan is willing to marry Princess Sui as the first Turkic concubine."

Everyone looked at Kang Sumi with pity and sympathy. This guy is very stupid and naive. There is only one princess in the royal family, Princess Lujiang, who is Yang Tong's darling sister-in-law.Now you are saying that you want her to marry, and you are still a side concubine, what is it if you are not courting death?
"What can Turkic give us?" Yang Tong resisted the urge to kill and continued to ask.

"Never go south to invade the Sui Dynasty within two years!"

"Any more?"

"there is none left!"

"Okay! You rest first...let us discuss it..."
