Turkic is a group of ethnic groups active in the Mongolian Plateau and Central Asia, and is also an important nomadic people in the northwest and northern steppes of the Central Plains Dynasty after the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Rouran, and the word Turkic began to appear in the annals of the Central Plains in 540.

The Turks used to be an independent tribe, and then belonged to the powerful Rouran State, became the latter's iron-smelting slave, and migrated to the southern foot of Jinshan, because Jinshan resembles a war helmet "Douluo", commonly known as Turkic, because of the name of its tribe. At first, there were only a few hundred families, and later there were tens of thousands of Turkic tribes, most of whom came from the surrounding Tiele tribesmen.

In 550 AD, the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen led his troops to defeat and annex more than 50,000 accounts of the Gaoche tribes, and began to grow and develop, and was valued by the Western Wei Dynasty. Two years later, the Turks defeated the suzerainty of Rouran, and Ashina Tumen called it Ili Khan, established a vast Turkic khanate, and rapidly expanded its power to the entire Mongolian Plateau, and in another two years, united with the Western Wei to eliminate the remnants of the Rouran tribes. With the slaying of the last Khan of Rouran, Turkic power quickly extended to the Western Regions.

At this time, the Central Plains Dynasty was in the north-south division, the three kingdoms were in the trend, the Southern Dynasty was a unified and complete regime, and in the Northern Dynasties, it successively experienced the Western Wei (Northern Zhou) and the Eastern Wei (Northern Qi), the Northern Dynasties were intimidated by the strong military strength of the Turkic Khanate, and in order to eliminate each other, they all adopted a policy of paying tribute to the Turks and making peace with each other, in exchange for the support or neutrality of the Turkic Empire.

The Turks, on the other hand, took the opportunity to obtain substantial economic benefits by means of peace or war. However, the pace of Turkic expansion did not stop because of this, and around 560, the Turks conquered Tuyuhun, conquered the Western Regions, and even united with Persia to annihilate the White Xiongnu. In a short period of 30 years, the Turkic people continued to expand their territory, and their territory stretched from the Liaohai Sea in the east, the Caspian Sea in the west, the Gobi in Mongolia in the south, and Lake Baikal in the north, with a length of 10,000 miles from east to west and 5 or 6 thousand miles from north to south, becoming a veritable great power.

Whoever is a neighbor of such a great country is unlucky, because this is a predatory nation.

Unfortunately, the nascent Sui Dynasty was such an unlucky one.

In fact, before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks made plundering the population and wealth of the Central Plains a common thing, and the countries of the Northern Dynasties had to either make peace with them or pay tribute to them, in exchange for a few days of stable life.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, due to the internal strife of the nobility within the Turks, the Turkic Great Khan Sha Bo felt that the territory was too large and he could not manage it alone, so in order to "live a stable life", he set up three other khans, so that these three people shared power with him, respectively, the second Khan Anluo under one person and above 10,000 people, the Apo Khan Da Luo, and the Datou Khan Xuan. In addition to these four, there is also a step away from the Khan.

In the second year of the emperor's reign, the Turkic army of 500,000, led by Shabalu Khan himself, marched south to the south of the Great Wall. An army of 500,000 marched south together, and every person soaked in urine could drown the newborn Sui Dynasty.

The new Great Sui Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, the situation was at a very delicate juncture, the more than 500,000 fierce troops came to attack, and they were really defeated again and again, and they were in an emergency on all sides, and the Great Sui was in danger, and at this critical moment, Changsun Sheng, who had lived in the Turks for many years, said that he had a way to deal with the Turks, and Yang Jian, who was overjoyed, immediately summoned him to talk in detail.

As early as 580 A.D., Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty named the daughter of Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao as the princess of Qianjin, and sent people to the Turks, including Changsun Sheng.

At that time, the Turks were very strong, and they despised the Northern Zhou Dynasty very much, and when they went on a day trip, they met two eagle eagles. Changsun Sheng shot through the two eagles with an arrow, shocking the grassland. Sha Bolu Khan was greatly shocked, and made the children of the clan learn the art of archery from Changsun Sheng. So much so that Changsun Sheng's stay in the Turks lasted for a year.

Changsun Sheng was a man of heart, taking advantage of the opportunity of the safari with Sha Bo Luo Khan, to investigate in detail the situation of the Turkic mountains and rivers, as well as the strength and weakness of the troops, and later after returning, he made a detailed report to Yang Jian, who was then the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian was very happy, and immediately promoted him to Fengche Lieutenant.

In the days of the Turks, Changsun Sheng also made a very important "friend". That man's name was Chu Luohou, the younger brother of Sha Bo Luo Khan, who was jealous of Sha Bo Luo Khan because he won the hearts of the people, and Chu Luo Hou secretly sent a confidant to secretly ally with Changsun Sheng. During the year-long "undercover", Changsun Sheng also learned that the uncles and nephews such as Sha Bolu Khan, Datou Khan, Apo Khan, and Tuli Khan, who all had strong soldiers, were like a family on the surface, but in fact they were suspicious and wary of each other, and it was easy to get separated.

Therefore, when Yang Jian summoned him, Changsun Sheng immediately went to Emperor Wen of Sui and put forward the suggestion of "distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and weak", and Changsun Sheng, who had an amazing memory, drew while talking, and presented the situation of the Turkic mountains and rivers in detail in front of Yang Jian. With such important information, Emperor Wen of Sui suddenly gained confidence in defeating the enemy's aggression.

But after making a plan, Changsun Sheng gave Yang Jian an almost impossible problem to solve, that is, to defeat the 200,000 headquarters army led by Shabalu Khan himself. Mainly because Sha Bo Luo Khan is too strong, he has an undefeated brilliant record in the Turks, although the other Khans of the Turks have a lot of dissatisfaction with him, they all want to replace him, but they are afraid of his prestige, if the Sui Dynasty can not dispel his undefeated name, those khans may not dare to make Sha Bo Luo Khan's rebellion, let alone cooperate with the weak Sui Dynasty, so, before defeating the Sha Bo Luo Khan, I am afraid that the differentiation and separation plan will not work.

Yang Jian thought about it, if it were himself, he would not entrust the fate of the whole clan to a weak person. So he asked the Chinese military of the dynasty, and asked everyone who dared and who could lead the troops to win the Sha Bo Luo Khan.

When everyone heard it, they all thought that Yang Jian was crazy, the Sui Dynasty at that time had just been in the Zhou Dynasty, and the people's hearts were not attached, and they couldn't even defend themselves, and they still wanted to defeat the Sha Bo Luo Khan, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Isn't that crazy what is it? Even Gao Gong, Yang Su, Yu Qingze, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Shi Wansui, and other famous generals with great achievements all thought that this was an impossible task, and others did not dare to fight, not that everyone was afraid of death, but because this was an arduous task that could not be defeated, could not afford to lose, and must win by attacking an enemy dozens of times stronger with a weak brigade, and everyone could not afford the consequences of failure and not winning. After all, it doesn't matter if you die, but the situation at that time made everyone unqualified to die for the country.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, nineteen-year-old Wei Wang Yang Shuang said that he could complete this task.

Yang Shuang is Yang Jian's youngest half-brother, born when his mother Li died in childbirth, when he was six years old, his father Yang Zhong died, and he was raised by his sister-in-law Queen Dugu, Yang Shuang beauty instrument, intelligent personality, both civil and military, among the brothers, Yang Jian and his wife were particularly favored, and the couple's love for this younger brother made even Yang Yong and Yang Guang jealous. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian attached great importance to him, and named him the king of Wei, the Shangzhu country, the pastor of Yongzhou, and the general of the left and right guards. But he didn't do anything bad for his brother and sister-in-law after all. Soon after, he moved the generals to the left and right, and the governors of the state, and he was the kind that really took office.

But although he was in a high position, he had never experienced a battle, so when everyone heard him say that he could defeat Shabalu Khan, they thought he was bragging. But what is even more crazy is that Yang Jian actually believed Yang Shuang's rhetoric, not only believed it, but also appointed him as the governor of Liangzhou and the marshal of the marching army, and led the army to counterattack the Turks.

After Yang Shuang took over the appointment, he did not go to Wuwei, Jincheng, Tianshui and the Turks to confront each other, he personally led a cavalry out of Shuofang and met the Sha Boluo army in Baidao. Yang Shuang took the sand bowl to defeat the enemy repeatedly, led 5,000 elite cavalry to attack and plunder the troops of the Great Sui, these Turkic soldiers returned with a full load, and the property obtained was so tired that the horses were so tired that they couldn't walk, and Yang Shuang suddenly attacked, and I don't know how many people the enemy army came, one by one they were so frightened that they abandoned their horses and fled, this Turkic cavalry without horses, is it still cavalry? Next, it was naturally a one-sided massacre, in this battle, Yang Shuang only used 5,000 fine horsemen to break the 200,000 army of Shabalu Khan, thus breaking the myth of the invincibility of Shabalu Khan.

This battle also made the Second Khan Anluo, Apo Khan Da Luo, Datou Khan Defilement, and Buli Khan know that Sha Bo slightly Da Khan was not so terrible, and the Sui Dynasty was not so weak.

Yang Jian and Changsun Sheng saw that the time was ripe for division and division between the Turks, so they began their plans.

And the first to be "targeted" was Datou Khan, and the person sent by Yang Jian to divide him was the servant Yuanhui.

Yuan Hui took the wolf's head Daxu specially given by Emperor Wen of Sui, passed through Yiwu to Turkic, and saw that Datou Khan had gone.

Datou Khan was very happy and sent an envoy to pay a return visit, but to his surprise, his envoy was miserably neglected in the Sui Dynasty, but he was very enthusiastic about the envoy of Shabalu Khan.

This encounter immediately gave Datou Khan a basin of cold water, and the two of them were suspicious of each other and wary of each other from then on.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Jian canonized Changsun Sheng as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and asked him to bring a large amount of money to meet Luo Hou. The two have been in contact before, and this meeting has deepened their relationship. Since then, the plan to isolate Sha Bo slightly Da Khan has been initially realized.

At this time, the Datou Khan, who was separated by Changsun Sheng, began to play a role, refused to carry out the orders of Sha Bolu Khan, and sent someone to follow Changsun Sheng into the court to see Yang Jian, and changed the boss. At the same time, Apo Khan's army no longer fought against the Sui army.

At this time, Sha Bo slightly Da Khan was beaten very unpleasantly by Yang Shuang, and seeing that Apo Khan was dead and could not be saved, he was so angry that he simply launched a surprise attack on the North Ya where Apo Khan lived, and all the troops left by Apo Khan became his prisoners.

Apo Khan, who had lost everything, defected to Datou Khan, who borrowed 100,000 soldiers and horses from him to take revenge. With a vengeful rage, Apo Khan fought to regain his homeland, and then fought against Shabalu Khan many times, winning almost every battle, and his strength became stronger and stronger.

The sand bowl under the river was slightly bigger, and the Khan couldn't stand it, so he asked the Sui Dynasty for peace and vassalization. and asked the Sui Dynasty to help him quell the rebellion. Yang Jian appointed Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, as the marshal very righteously, and asked him to lead 150,000 infantry and cavalry out of Hechuan, and united with Shabo slightly Da Khan to kill Apo Khan in a crushing defeat.

In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Sha Bolu Khan died, and his younger brother Luo Hou was proclaimed Mohe Khan, asking the Sui court to admit it, and Yang Jian sent Changsun Sheng to congratulate him.

In order to show his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, the Marquis of Chu Luo offered to clean up the remnants of Apo Khan's five or six thousand forces, and after getting the consent, he attacked Apo Khan in the west under the banner given to him by the Sui Dynasty, and Apo Khan's subordinates surrendered, and he was captured alive.

Since then, Yang Jian has adopted the Turkic strategy of Changsun Sheng's 'long-distance friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and combining the weak', uniting the weak Turkic tribes, isolating the powerful tribes, and then sending the super thug Yang Shuang to fight.

The two brothers, Yang Jian and Yang Shuang, were happy, but the Turks fell into an endless civil war and eventually split into the Eastern and Western Turks.

The Turkic civil strife, thus alleviating the Turkic threat to the Sui Dynasty and giving the Sui Dynasty a precious respite.

It can be said that in terms of the role of splitting the Turks, Yang Jian, Changsun Sheng, and Yang Shuang are the three well-deserved heroes:

As the emperor, Yang Jian knew how to make good use of people, and reused the little-known Changsun Sheng and Yang Shuang to take on the great task of splitting the Turks.

Although Changsun Sheng was a military general, he never commanded a major war, but his outstanding strategy made great contributions to the division and disintegration of the Turks and the maintenance of peace in the northern border of the Sui Dynasty.

The first time Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, sent troops, with his extraordinary courage and courage, he broke through the Turkic army of 200,000 with 5,000 light cavalry and won countless victories. When he served as the governor of Liangzhou, Yang Shuang paid equal attention to envy, stabilized the situation, and sent the Turks out of Liangzhou one by one, recovering the entire Hexi Corridor, and reopening the Silk Road connecting the Central Plains to the Western Regions. When guarding Liangzhou, he slaughtered thousands of miles, which terrified the Turks. However, due to his repeated battles in the war, he also fell ill, and finally could not even ride a horse. Yang Jian simply let him enter the court as the prime minister, and the official worshiped Nayan, but before he took office, his body and bones could not support it, and he died in the seventh year of the emperor's reign, only twenty-five years old.

Yang Shuang is Huo Qu's disease of Da Sui, and his fate is similar to Huo Qu's disease. After his death, Yang Jian no longer waged large-scale wars against the Turks, and the young prince seemed to have finished all the battles of his generation against the Turks, and died after completing his mission. His short but brilliant life seemed to be born for the Great War against the Turks, and after that, it was like a beautiful and dazzling meteor, although it was shining, it was only a moment's beauty
