Yang Jian didn't sleep all night last night, and he was alone in the Wude Hall to review the recitals until the rooster crowed three times and the sky was bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Two months ago, he adopted Changsun Sheng's strategy of "attacking the Turks from afar, separating the strong and uniting the weak", and sent the imperial servant Qing Yuanhui to envoy the Turkic Datou Khan's tooth tent, intending to carry out a divisive plan to induce the Datou Khan to fight for the position of the Turkic Great Khan with Sha Bo Luo Khan, so as to prevent Sha Bao Lu from raising troops to the south and invading the northern border of the Great Sui.

However, yesterday, Yuan Hui rushed back to Chang'an, but Yang Jian brought a less satisfactory result: although Datou Khan gladly accepted the wolf-headed Daxu given to him by Yang Jian and Yuanhui, he did not show the slightest hostility towards his nephew Sha Bolu Khan, but asked Yuan Hui how much silk the Sui Dynasty was preparing to contribute to the Turks every year.

In this way, as an uncle, Datou Khan at least in front of the Sui envoys, showed absolute loyalty and obedience to Shabalu Khan, and the plan of discord did not achieve the expected results.

In fact, since Yang Jian decided to adopt Changsun Sheng's suggestion to divide and disintegrate the Turkic tribes, he had already changed the established policy that he and Gao Ying had originally agreed to fight the Turks first, and then attack Chen in the south after the northern border was stabilized.

If he used the death of Yuwen Yan to instruct the monk Huizhen to fabricate the myth of the murder of the Nanchen demon Hongsheng Palace, and he just wanted to use this to win over the hearts of the people of the court and the wilderness, and had no actual plan to raise troops to attack Chen, then, when the monk Huizhen died mysteriously in the Great Solemn Temple, in recent days, when various rumors about the death of the monk Huizhen were circulating everywhere in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, Yang Jian felt that he had gradually become a tiger rider, and if he did not immediately raise troops to attack Chen, it would be difficult to justify himself.

If we really want to send troops to attack Chen, we must first solve our worries and ensure that the Turks will not take advantage of the opportunity of the large army to move south and send troops to attack.

Based on this consideration, Yang Jian once again adopted Changsun Sheng's suggestion and decided not to reply to Sha Bolu for sending his younger brother Chu Luo Yu to Chang'an Suogong, so as to delay the joint attack of the five Turkic Khans as much as possible, and at the same time still hoped that Datou could play a certain role in restraining Sha Bolu.

At the same time, Yang Jian also knew very well that it was impossible to block the hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen from going south by relying only on a wolf's head and avoiding the Luo Yu father and son, and he must strengthen the garrison force in the northern border and other places, and try to send such a signal to the Sha Bo Luo Khan: The Great Sui has been on high alert against the Turks and is ready to annihilate all invading enemies at any time.

As a result, Yang Jian had the idea of sending his second son Yang Guang out of the town and merging the state to strengthen the defense of the northern border.

Yang Guang is the oldest prince except for the crown prince Yang Yong, and has already received the position of the governor of the state, and at the same time he decided to raise troops to attack Chen, sending him out of the town and the state is undoubtedly the best choice to shock the Turks.

However, when Yang Jian revealed his idea to Dugu Jialuo and wanted to ask for her understanding, he was strongly opposed by her.

The reasons put forward by Dugu Jialuo are also very sufficient: Yang Guang is too young, even if others go to Bingzhou, it is difficult to make Sha Boluo believe that a naughty boy can pose any threat to him; Moreover, there are now 100,000 troops led by Yin Shou and Yu Qingze in Youhe and other states, and at the same time that Yang Guang went out of the town and merged with the state, if the imperial court could not send another army to increase the northern border, it would be even more meaningless.

Yang Jian understands that the reason why his beloved wife strongly opposes her son leaving the town and merging the state is that most of them are reluctant to leave her, the most beloved second son, from his side. How could he not be like that himself?

At present, although there are many brothers and nephews such as Yang Hong, Yang Xiong, and Yang Shuang in the Yang clan who can replace Yang Guang out of the town, but when I think of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although the court of the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent the kings of the clan to guard various places, it still thought that it was really for the court to build a strong and national Ping Domain, and it was precisely because of the weakness of the Northern Zhou royal family that he had a gap to take advantage of, and opened Sui on behalf of Zhou, Yang resolutely ignored the opposition of his beloved wife and insisted on sending Yang Guang out of the town.

Although it is easy to make a decision, once it is implemented, deep in Yang Jian's heart, the soft side of being a father is revealed.

When the prince left the town, he naturally had to make a decree to allow him to open a government and build a council, but Yang Jian's first thought was to choose a powerful, loyal and reliable guard for Yang Guang to ensure his son's personal safety.

The first candidate to enter his mind was naturally Changsun Sheng, who was a top rider and was familiar with the situation of the Turkic tribes. However, Changsun Sheng is currently the only Turkic master in the court, and he still has to point to him to give advice and respond to various changes that may occur in the Turkic side in a timely manner, and Changsun Sheng cannot leave Chang'an at least in the short term.

Secondly, one of the candidates that Yang Jian thought of was Yuan Guan, the general of the right guard who accompanied him and had saved his life. But with Yuanxuan's current identity and status, he was asked to be Yang Guang's chief guard, in the eyes of others, it was inevitable that he would be deposed, and it was very easy to attract the discussion of several other princes, thinking that he, who was a father, favored Yang Guang too much, so much so that he also sent his personal guard to Yang Guang; What's more, there is no one who knows Yuan Zhou better than Yang Jian, this is a master who only knows how to fight with people, once he makes a mistake, only he can restrain him, and what Yang Guang needs most is a person like Changsun Sheng, who can not only protect his safety, but also make decisions for him from time to time, Yuan Zhou is really difficult to take on this role.

After careful consideration, Yang Jian finally set his sights on another of his cronies, Li Yuantong. Li Yuantong alone talks about his bravery, he can never compare with Yuan Guan, and his wisdom alone cannot be compared with Changsun Sheng, but Li Yuantong has one strength, which is that Yuan Zhou and Changsun Sheng are far inferior to him, that is, he was originally born as an envoy in Yang Jian's mansion, and Yang Yong, Yang Guang and other princes have known each other since childhood, and grew up together. With him accompanying Yang Guang out of the town and merging the state, just like Yang Jian himself accompanying Yang Guang, if it comes to an emergency, Li Yuantong can play a role that is difficult for Changsun Sheng and Yuan Zhou to play. Moreover, Li Yuantong's current official position is Zuowei Changshi, and he was ordered to be reappointed as Sima of the Jin Palace, which is a flat adjustment, which is very suitable.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Yang Jian thought, when he privately revealed to Li Yuantong that he wanted to transfer him out of the town and state with Yang Guang, Li Yuantong did not explicitly oppose it at that time, but turned around and revealed the news that Yang Guang was about to leave the town and merge the state to Yang Jun, the king of Qin. After Yang Jun got the news that Li Yuantong revealed to him, he immediately teamed up with Yang Xiu and Yang Liang to Zhengyang Palace to find his mother Dugu Jialuo, and they all strongly asked to go out of the town and serve the imperial court, which made Yang Jian invisibly fall into the trouble of housework.
