"General, this is a dead soldier raised by a family of Han gate lords, that Zhangye County Eagle Yang Lang General Li Fengyun is the Li family descendant of the Guanlong Eight Gate Lords, although there is still a Taishou above the Ying Yang Lang General of a county, but he has an army of 20,000. Whether it is the Li family or Li Fengyun himself, he is naturally unwilling to have someone rob him of his position, even if this person is the famous poisonous general who has risen in the Sui Dynasty. ”

"And this person's suicide is a predestined thing, even if the general didn't order him to be tortured just now to extract a confession, this messenger will die if he goes back, after all, he colluded with us to kill the poison general Wang Junlin, it's okay to kill it, in case he can't kill him, if he knows that the legendary terrorist means of Wang Junlin are behind Li Fengyun's back, he will definitely retaliate."

The person who spoke was a Han Chinese strategist of Luo Gesen. It is not uncommon for the large tribes and generals in the Turkic Khanate to have Han people around them as advisers, and many scholars from the Han family in the Great Sui have been serving as officials in their own country, and there are always some people who are not strong-willed and have failed in virtue to do things for the Turks regardless of the general interests of the nation-state. And among the Turks, especially at the top, there are always far-sighted people who do not care about ethnic differences.

The strategist next to Luo Gesen is named Chen Ping, in fact, he is not his own strategist, but the staff of Qiming Khan, who was specially sent by Luo Gesen to assist Luo Gesen when he went south this time, and Qiming Khan usually values it very much.

Chen Ping's father was the minister of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty, because of his heart to the Northern Zhou, so the family was killed by Yang Jian, only Chen Ping, who happened to be outside, lived alone, Chen Ping avenged his family, resolutely took refuge in the Turks, and after more than ten years of hard work, he became one of the most trusted staff members around the Qiming Khan.

Moreover, Chen Ping is in his forties, has a three-foot long beard, and has an elegant appearance, because he has a common enmity with the Sui Dynasty like Luo Gesen, so the relationship between the two is also good.

"Although Li Fengyun has good reasons for this matter, I think this matter is still a bit suspicious." Luo Gesen instinctively doubted all the Sui people, "I can't understand that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty dismissed Li Fengyun from the official for no reason, and there will be no arrangements for him." You must know that the power of the Li Fengyun family is not small in the Sui Dynasty. ”

Chen Ping stroked his long beard lightly and said: "The general doesn't know, it is precisely because Li Fengyun is from a powerful family of gate lords that the dog emperor of the Sui Dynasty will do this, because he has been sparing no effort to weaken the gate valve family, and I got the news some time ago that Wang Junlin is a sword used by Yang Jian to weaken the gate valve family, presumably using Wang Junlin to force a son of a gate lord family who controls an army of 20,000 to lose his military power, which is what Yang Jian likes to do the most." ”

Luo Gesen nodded, Chen Ping was reasonable, because of the hatred with the Sui people, he usually paid more attention to the situation of the Sui Dynasty, and he also knew a little, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Chen, according to you, what should we do in this matter, be used by that Li Fengyun to kill Wang Junlin, or let Wang Junlin take away Li Fengyun's military power." ”

Chen Ping said without hesitation: "The gate valve family is the biggest cancer of the Sui Dynasty, since the emperor of the Sui Dynasty wants to weaken the gate valve family, we naturally can't let it succeed, so we must kill Wang Junlin, and with Wang Junlin's fierce name and prestige, if the general can kill the other party, not only in our east. The prestige of the Turkic Khanate has increased greatly, and it will be prestigious even in the Western Regions, but I have heard that those people in the Western Turks are very afraid of the king. ”

"Mr. Wang is really thoughtful."

Luo Gesen praised repeatedly: "And killing Wang Junlin can be regarded as breaking Yujuluo's arm." ”

Chen Ping's heart suddenly moved, and he said: "What the general said reminds me of a clever plan that can help the general successfully complete the task assigned by the Khan. ”

When Luo Gesen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Chen, please say what is the clever plan?" ”

Chen Ping said with a smile: "After the general killed Wang Junlin, he tried to tell Yu Juluo that Li Fengyun colluded with us to kill Wang Junlin, that Yu Juluo and Wang Junlin are father and son, and just now the dead man said that there is another person next to Wang Junlin who is Yu Juluo's own grandson, do you say that Yu Juluo will kill Li Fengyun in a fit of anger, and the latter will naturally not sit idly by, and then there is likely to be civil strife in Yongzhou, and the danger of the Tuyuhun people can be solved, not to mention, the general can also take the opportunity to kill the Sui army." ”

Luo Gesen's deputy next to him was a little worried: "What if you can't kill Wang Junlin?" ”

Luo Gesen sneered and shouted: "Although Wang Junlin has some powerful means, but now that he has returned to Yongzhou from the capital of the Great Sui, he has only a few hundred guards around him, and if I lead five thousand silver wolf kings to kill him, what face do I have to go back to see the Khan." ”

……

In the vast northwest land, the Qilian Mountains are like a giant dragon stretching east and west, stretching for thousands of miles, separating the entire Hexi Corridor from half of the Western Regions.

For thousands of years, out of Jincheng to the west to Zhangye County 800 miles, pedestrians are walking through the Hexi Corridor, but this Hexi Corridor is also because of the mountains and valleys, the road has gradually formed six important large and small corridors, known as Qilian Eight Roads, among which Gansha Road is the most important, it is the shortest direct passage connecting Shazhou to Zhangye and Jincheng Counties, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

There is an important pass in the east and west of Zhangye County of Sui State, and in the westernmost part is the Gaotai City of Wang Junlin. And the east is Shaping Pass, which is guarded by Li Fengyun's henchman Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Li Congrui by Yingyanglang of Zhangye County, and every day goes from east to west, countless merchants who take the Silk Road pass through this strategic road, and a Shiping town has been formed in the east of Shaping Pass for a long time.

At noon on this day, a team of more than 200 people arrived in Shiping Town, including three carriages, and the rest were knights dressed as guards.

Although the Great Sui has been founded for more than 20 years, the road is not very smooth, not to mention that Zhangye County has been reclaimed for less than a year, and there are many horse thieves and bandits in the Qilian Mountains, and now they are fighting with Tuyuhun, so it is too normal to bring so many guards.

However, the targets of horse thieves, grass bandits, and mountain bandits are mainly concentrated on merchants with rich pockets and low social status, and they do not dare to kill people and goods for the travel of the nobles and officials of the gate lords, and they are also afraid of making a big deal and provoking the army to encircle and suppress them, so most of the merchants who come and go go in groups, and even some businessmen pay to hire troops to escort them, and Li Fengyun has also done this kind of thing from time to time in the past year.

Shiping Town belongs to Matou County, the easternmost part of Zhangye County, less than ten miles away from Shabang Pass, is a town composed of more than 100 households, although the number of households is small, but the merchants are dense, at least eighty percent of the 100 households are open shops.
