The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 323
The news of Yang Tong's personal conquest of Turks spread all over the world, and the war among the southern princes coincidentally became silent. Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande, who faced the Sui Dynasty across the river, had the same considerations as Li Yuan. After the Yellow River, everyone's heart trembled, and everyone was worried that the Sui Dynasty would be unfavorable to them.

Wensi Hall of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang.

"I knew Yang Tong was not that simple at the beginning. I thought I had overestimated him. Who would have thought that I would underestimate him? You really shouldn't underestimate the Yang family's children...!" Wang Shichong frowned in thought.

Back then, Wang Shichong, Pei Ju, and Pei Yun worked together to strongly recommend Yang Tan in front of Yang Guang, and took away the land that belonged to Yang Tong. The suffering Jizhou, the king of Qin who should have been depressed in Jizhou.But I don't know when it started, and it has been active in Wang Shichong's ears. When thousands of miles away, Dou Jiande was defeated in the first battle, and the latter was blasted out of Jizhou. Not long after he moved to Zhuojun, Luo Yi led the Khitan army to go south to cause trouble for Shuangliao county.

At that time, Wang Shichong even thought that Yang Tong would take root in Youji. Wang Shichong was very happy when he acted, because if Yang Tong took root in Youji, he would be able to help him block Li Yuan, who was becoming more and more powerful in the east and rising in Bingzhou. .

It's a pity that Yang Tong did it so simply that Wang Shichong was dumbfounded. He not only overthrew Luo Yi and Khitan, but also took Liaodong from Goguryeo, and then wiped out the almost lost Xi clan. Not long after, In Mayi, Shibi and hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were destroyed.It seems that since then, Yang Tong, with his tenacity, has gradually integrated into the game of chess under the world, facing the world with the attitude of a national player.

After spending a little time in Yecheng, when he made another move, he directly captured Bingzhou, the place where Li Yuan made his fortune, and swept away the Yongbei area in one go.

Afterwards in the Turkic war, Yang Tong's strength grew little by little. At the beginning of the year, he entered Goguryeo. In just two or three months, he wiped out Goguryeo, which caused chaos in the Sui Dynasty. The threat has surpassed Li Mi and Li Yuan.Who would have thought that he did not rest at all, and launched the Battle of Guanlong again, swallowing Guanlong just like the Battle of Bingzhou, maiming Li Yuan, who had 40 soldiers, and blasting him out of Guanzhong in an extremely humiliating way .

Li Yuan suffered such a big defeat, his ghosts came out, and he was in a state of instability inside, so he hastily dealt with Zhu Can and Xiao Xian, and regained his souls.

Not long after, Yang Tong started making trouble again... He said he was going to fight the Turks, but who would believe it?

"It's only been a few years. A few years ago, Yang Tong left Luoyang with a disheveled face. In the blink of an eye, he became the number one prince in the world. Look at Yang Tong, that is the life of a king. And What about us? It’s too dangerous to stay in a mere Luoyang...Yang Tong is too dangerous..." Wang Shichong’s tone is also quite admirable. It can be said that he is one of the "heroes" who pushed Yang Tong to where he is today.

Crown Prince Wang Xuanying thought for a while and asked, "What do those Kanto nobles say?"

"What can they say? They have been hostile to Yang Tong in the past few years, and at the same time, they have used their huge contacts to trade a large amount of materials from Bashu and the South with the Sui Dynasty. They have made a lot of money, and they can come here just by lying down." Money. Now that Li Yuan is gaining power, they are shamelessly flattering each other... They wish Li Yuan could destroy our Wang family..." Wang Shichong became more and more angry as he spoke, and kicked the desk over with one kick. Wang Xuanying and Wang Ren beside him were startled. Dare to take a big breath.

Wang Shichong said: "Yang Tong is right in the slightest. These aristocratic families rely on infidelity to pass on for thousands of years. I think we need to reconsider our relationship with the Kanto gentry and these white-eyed wolves. sold!"

After being silent for a long time, Wang Xuanying bit the bullet and said: "No one is perfect, I feel that we should not be too harsh on my subjects... After all, in the difficult world, everyone says that good birds choose trees to live in... Besides, the members of aristocratic families There may not be no loyal ones..."

Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "There are very few loyal people in this world. With my salary, they only think about themselves, but they want to go to other princes. Those people just have nowhere to go and only temporarily gain a foothold here. That's all... If Yang Tong is willing to accept, they will sell our Wang family for nothing..."

Wang Shichong sneered.

Seeing that his father was not angry at what he said, Wang Xuanying became more courageous: "Does my father think that Yang Yu will relax the restrictions?"

"Yang Tong's plans are so big that we can't even imagine, and he has already become famous, so there is no need to compromise with the aristocratic family." Wang Shichong said.

Wang Xuanying breathed a sigh of relief: "Father also thinks that Yang Tong will not let go of the restrictions, so they still don't have the most suitable place to go, so they still have to stay in my country of Zheng. That being the case, instead of being harsh, suspicious, and wary of them, It's better to relax your mind and show the world the magnanimous side of the father... As long as the father makes the world peaceful and the people's hearts are stable, my Dazheng's country and society will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai... In this way, what can the aristocratic family do to the father? Before Guandu, Cao Cao’s civilians and soldiers showed their loyalty to Yuan Shao. After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao burned the list of collaborators in public. , The key is that you can stand the test of the great war, as long as you are strong, then people with bad intentions will turn to become loyal ministers and good generals, and on the contrary, loyal ministers and good generals will have different ambitions."

Wang Shichong was silent for a long time, and he stopped losing his temper. He thought to himself: It is true, dynasties change from time to time, and he cannot expect everyone to be absolutely loyal ministers and generals. In such a powerful state of Zheng, even people with different ambitions will become loyal. Nodding his head and smiling: "The emperor's words are reasonable, it's my understanding."

He rubbed his brows, and asked Wang Ren: "Yang Tong now says that he wants to annihilate the Turks and let all parties not offend the Sui Dynasty, but he himself sends a powerful navy to cruise in the Yellow River. Do you think he is Should we really fight the Turks or deal with us? How should we deal with it?" Wang Shichong asked Prince Wang Xuanying.

Wang Renze said: "I think the Holy One doesn't need to worry too much. If he wants to hit us, why doesn't he hit us when we are weakest?"

Wang Shichong frowned, and said, "Ren Ze, today is not what it used to be. Yang Tong is not simple. He now has the strength to dominate the world!"

Wang Xuanying's pupils shrank, and he asked worriedly: "Father, is that Yang Tong is going to launch an all-out war against the southern princes?"

"It's possible because he has this strength now. But I'm not sure, but I think we should be careful." Wang Shichong said softly.

After Wang Xuanying nodded, he looked at Wang Shichong suspiciously and said: "I agree with Brother Zhao Wang's opinion. Now that the southern princes are fighting you to death, if Yang Yu goes south at this time, it will only stimulate everyone to unite against the Sui Dynasty. My son I don't think Yang Tong would be so unwise."

Wang Shichong was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "The emperor is right! I am suspicious. I heard that the king of Qin is happy to have Linzi, so he sent someone to present a generous gift."

"Here!" Wang Xuanying said respectfully.

"Renze, do your best to counterattack Li Tang."

"Here!"

Wang Shichong took a deep breath, wrote a letter to Li Mi, and asked someone to send it immediately.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The prairie on both sides of Jinshan Mountain is now entering the most dynamic season. The vast prairie presents a vibrant scene, covered with endless greenery. Looking from the mountain to the distance, groups of cattle, white sheep, and horses The grassland grazes leisurely.

Like clear water flowing on the grassland, the lakes are like gems inlaid on the grassland, and farther away is the Yudujin Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles.

On the vast grassland to the east of Jinshan Mountain and south of the Khobda Grassland, continuous tents were set up and flags were planted all over the place. Numerous large flags fluttered in the wind, exuding a solemn and solemn atmosphere.If you look down from the sky, you will find that the tent group is composed of two parts, the east part and the west part, which are far apart from each other. There are a large number of Turkic soldiers and cavalry patrolling each other. The murderous spirit came to his face.

On a flattened hill in the middle stood a large tent.

"woo woo woo woo!"

The desolate sound of the horn spread throughout the Turkic camps. This was the sound of the horn called by Jieli Khan to summon the tribal leaders. There are small tribes in the big tribes in China, and the small tribes are subdivided. There are many tribes, large and small. Jieli Khan, who was born in the Turkic royal family, is of noble blood and is also the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks.

Jieli Khan was the initiator of this alliance, but he was not at ease with Tongyehu Khan of the Western Turks, who had [-] lineages in the eastern camp; Tongyehu Khan was also on guard, and also brought [-] troops.

Jieli Khan held a grand banquet in one of the largest dome tents. The interior of the dome tent was ornately decorated, with thick woolen blankets on the floor, bright brocades hung on the walls of the tent, and the plates and bowls used were high-quality porcelain.

A circle of low Hu couches has been set up in the big tent. The couches are covered with soft lambskin and equipped with small tables. Generally, Turkic people sit on the ground and at most spread a piece of sheepskin. People moved to the Hu couch to show respect.

In the gorgeous big tent, Jieli Khan, who is dressed in thick armor and has a rough appearance, sits in the first seat on the left, with a hint of caution in his pupils.

Opposite him sat a tall, handsome young man with a haughty expression and a king's hat on his head.He is Yehu, the Western Turkic Khan.

"Jieli Khan, what's wrong with you? Are you in trouble?" Tong Yehu asked with a smile.

"Tong Ye Hu Da Khan, the Sui army invaded on a large scale, saying that he would not return if he did not break the Eastern Turkic Khan. He also appointed Ashina Simo as the Eastern Turkic Great Khan." Xiao Ke, a gray-haired Eastern Turkic Khan said.

Tong Yehu Khan laughed when he heard this, it was his own business that the Eastern Turks closed their doors, and it had nothing to do with him, Jieli Khan didn’t want to submit to himself, so the more chaos the Eastern Turks had, the better.

"What about Yang Tong? He's powerful, but he's far away in Jizhou, so it's not up to him to take care of the grassland. Besides, the army of the Sui Dynasty is coming. Is it useful for you to be afraid? It's better to think about how to fight." A majestic young man with a calm expression said lightly.

Tong Yehu Khan couldn't help looking at this young man, full of admiration, if he remembered correctly, this general's name was Zhishisili. Even though he was far away in Qianquan, he had heard of this name. A lot of talent.

He could see that the Eastern Turks were now facing a major event, not only facing the power of Ana Smith, but also a powerful Sui Dynasty was about to invade.The harder the Eastern Turks fought and the worse the outcome, the greater his hope of leading Ye Hu to regain his homeland.

Anyway, the holy mountain can't escape, so it doesn't matter if you get it sooner or later.Even if Jieli Khan gave up the holy mountain and surrendered to him now, it still depends on his mood.Now you only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight without causing it,
With this in mind, he simply left the big tent and let Xieli and the others fight for it.
