The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 342
"Surrender to the Sui Dynasty?" Qu Boya murmured in a daze, but when he thought about it, his mood became complicated.

People only look down on rights when life and death are at stake. When the crisis is over, the desire for rights in the heart will be rekindled.

Just like before, when he was expelled from the country, he only thought about surviving, but after he settled down, he relied on the power of the Western Turks to plan a comeback. In order to regain his rights, he did not hesitate to sell the interests of the people of the whole country. Won the throne, but lost the hearts of the people.This time, the Sui Dynasty obviously would not give him a chance to restore the country, because they worked from the bottom up and won the hearts of the people in the city in just a few days.

If things go on like this, he will become a real loner. When the Sui Dynasty only needs to provoke the people who have been poisoned by the Western Turks to rise up against him and kill him, it will be a matter of course for Gaochang to enter the Sui Dynasty.

"Come here!" Qu Boya certainly didn't like Princess Huarong, but he knew that Princess Huarong was right. After the Sui army massacred Gaochang's officials, Qu Boya saw it clearly.

"The humble job is here!" A servant stepped inside.

"Send someone to invite General Yin, General Su, and Du Canjun! Then announce to the entire Western Regions that our country, Gaochang, surrendered to the Great Sui unconditionally, and our Qu clan is willing to put aside everything and enter the court to serve the Great Sui Dynasty, and serve the Great Sui Dynasty from generation to generation. , If you break this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

After the announcement, Qu Boya seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength in his body. His old face showed deep pain. He knew that this was the last royal order he made. Once this royal order is announced, Gao Chang will died.

The huge heaviness made him almost out of breath.After a long time, he slowly calmed down, and after a long sigh, his heart was extremely bitter.

Gaochang!

The Gaochang Kingdom, which had been established for 160 years, finally perished in his own hands!
"Here!" The servant responded in a low voice.

After this cleansing in the officialdom, the people of Gaochang will never reject the Sui Dynasty, especially after hearing the news that the Sui army defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the [-] Western Turkic army!They hope even more that this powerful Sui Dynasty, which truly cares about the people, will lead them!This has nothing to do with loyalty, people just hope that they can live better and more securely.But Qu Boya had no ability to lead them to prosperity, instead he was overwhelmed by the Western Turks, and made everyone in Gaochang realize the importance of a strong man. Since their king did not have this ability, so no matter Qu Boya Would you like it, the moment the Sui army conquered Khan Futu City, he had already been abandoned by the insecure Gaochang people.

"General Su is going to attack the Khan Court (Sanmi Mountain) in the eastern part of the Western Turks, and he needs a lot of manpower! Tell Qu Yan to hand over all the [-] troops to General Su and continue to serve in the army. From now on, these people will stay in Su General, wait for dispatch."

Qu Boya knew that if he held on to the military power, even if the generals of the Sui Dynasty went to attack the Western Turkic Eastern Khan Court, they would leave a large number of troops sitting in Gaochang to stare at him. Will be a scapegoat!He simply handed over the last army in his hands. In this way, if Su Dingfang lost, he would not blame himself, nor would it affect his life in the Sui Dynasty.

"Here!"

The servant promised, and excitedly went out to deliver the order.

Looking at the elated servant, Qu Boya's ugly face became even uglier.

Even the eunuchs despise him as a king, now!

. . . . . . . . . . .

A goshawk flits across the grasslands, across the mountains and rivers, and finally sends the South Route Army's battle report to Yang Tong through the hands of the eagle slaves.

"Everyone!"

After reading the letter, Yang Tong's expression was relieved, and he said excitedly: "The Southern Route Army successfully ambushed Li Gui and his son in Dunhuang, beheading the enemy Li Gui and his sons, monarchs and ministers, and more than 4000 soldiers. Great Liang is completely cold. Dunhuang, Yiwu, Shanshan, and Qiemo were all recovered; Su Dingfang, Du Ruhui, and Yin Mingyue entered Gaochang, and adopted Banchao's method of killing the envoys of the Huns, and killed more than a hundred people including Yehu, the Western Turk, in the Gaochang Palace, forcing Gaochang to fight against the Turk... ...The Gaochang [-] army and the Turkic [-] army are all dead!"

Speaking of this, Yang Tong laughed and said, "Gaochang Crown Prince Qu Wentai died in battle with an arrow. King Qu Boya of Gaochang gave the four counties, eighteen counties, and 24 cities of Gaochang Kingdom to the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop, without any conditions! Now my Da The Sui Dynasty has opened up a vast area of ​​more than 800 miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south, and the Gaochang Kingdom has since disappeared in the long river of history."

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"..."

The generals congratulated excitedly.

"The whole territory of Gaochang is officially incorporated into our territory of the Sui Dynasty! I intend to merge it into one county, the name..." Yang Tong stopped here with a smile on his face, and asked the generals with a smile: "Hey...you say, Who is Gao Chang's number one creditor?"

"General Su!"

"Mr. Du!"

Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanche, and Shen Guang each hugged the minister who made the first contribution in their hearts.

"Haha! You are all wrong... The chief hero of Gaochang's acquisition is not Du Ruhui, nor Su Dingfang! It is the cold female general Yin Mingyue! Therefore, the name of this county should be 'Mingyue County'!"

"what?"

The five generals were dumbfounded.

"My Concubine Wu and Concubine Li can rule the world, and it's normal for Yinmingyue to make meritorious deeds..." Yang Tong laughed and said, "Everyone, don't underestimate your daughters! Their potential is unimaginable... Underestimating women will suffer a lot .”

"Here!" The fifth general was a little weak.

Fang Xuanling's "Xuanling City" set a precedent, so all the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty looked forward to having a city, county, and county named after themselves.

But for so long, no second person has won this honor.

Now finally, this one is stronger than Fang Xuanling's 'Xuanling City', directly named a county, but she is still a woman...

This really made this group of generals envious and blush!

Yang Tong looked at the crowd and said earnestly: "Our steps will not stop at the unification of the world. In the future, I will lead you to expand the territory and lay down a big Sui Dynasty! Those places will be your titles to establish counties." place."

Five generals are excited.

Yes, even if the world is pacified, but in addition to the Sui Dynasty, there are Turks, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the Western Regions, and there are Anxi and Daqin in the farther west. Their generals will not stop. Not to worry about running out of battle.

It is the fortune of a general to follow an aggressive monarch.

Is not it?
The emptiness of the treasury due to militarism is a term for civil wars, because civil wars involve too many war arrangements, while foreign wars do not need to consider so much, so the foreign wars fought by the Sui Dynasty have never lost money.

Even if it is internal, it is still making a steady profit without losing money. The Sui Dynasty has been fighting against Li Yuan, and has always been compensated. The recent Guanzhong War has made a lot of money and lost a lot. There is no way, the savings of hundreds of Guanlong families for nearly a hundred years are too rich .

"Your Highness! Apart from Mingyue County, where are the cities? Are there Keming City and Dingfang City?" Luo Shixin asked with a smile.

"According to the regulations, a person can only be named once in a lifetime. With the talents of Du Ruhui and Su Dingfang, they should be matched with a county! Fang Xuanling is an exception. A mere Xuanling City has wronged him, and he will make great contributions in the future. I will revoke the name of Xuanlingcheng and name him a county." Yang Tong smiled, "You are the same, you should put your attention on the name of the county, you can't be inferior to others, right?"

"Here!" The five generals were full of fighting spirit.

Yang Tong thought about Princess Huarong that Du Ruhui had mentioned many times, thought for a while, and said, "As for Gaochang City, it will be renamed Huarong City as a reward and compensation for Princess Huarong, and Baicheng will also be renamed Yicheng City."

Feudal dynasties often had marriages with foreign races, such as Princess Huarong who married Gaochang, Princess Anyi and Princess Yicheng who married Turks, etc. They are actually poor people. According to the rules of foreign races, Khan, King After death, Ke Dun and the queen will marry their successors!This princess of the Han family is undoubtedly a painful and cruel thing.

In particular, Princess Yicheng is the most pitiful and respectable. In history, after her dream of restoring the country was shattered, she went to the disaster generously. Her strong personality and loyalty to the Sui Dynasty were much stronger than those of the subjugated kings such as Queen Chen and Jieli Khan. up.

But it is such a woman who is not afraid of death. For the sake of the Sui Dynasty, she has served four father and son brothers, Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan. For a strong woman who is not afraid, what kind of courage is needed!
It can be concluded that the reason for her living is not her fear of death - but her loyalty to Da Sui!
Fortunately, my appearance slightly changed the fate of Princess Yicheng!

But Yang Tong thinks that this is not enough. He should collect the names and experiences of the princesses of all ages and organize them into a touching biography about the princesses.Remember their achievements with objective words, and they should not be obscured or vilified...just because their contributions to the country and contributions to the country are no less than any famous generals.

Thinking of that happy woman who kept yelling that she couldn't pay back the money, so she used Zhaoyi, the first of the nine concubines, to pay for it, Yang Tong couldn't help but smile, as long as she was happy.

"Your Highness, I guess Tong Yehu has received the news! Should we also fight?" The North and South Second Route Army have made great achievements, even a woman named Yin Mingyue took down 'Mingyue County', but the Central Route Army has not moved yet. Even Pei Xingyan, who had calmed down a lot, became anxious.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Let Shubao act first to break the deadlock!" Yang Tong wrote an order and handed it to Ying Nu.

"What about us?"

"Wait!" Yang Tong smiled slightly.

"Still waiting?" Luo Shixin dissatisfied.

"Could it be that you are happy to let our army go up and hit twice as many enemies, and you will be killed and injured?" Yang Tong glanced at Luo Shixin coldly.

Luo Shixin was taken aback and didn't dare to say more.

"The more it is at this time, the more you can't be in a hurry! It's not good to wet the bed at dawn!"

"Here!"
