Wei Zheng's eyes were blazing, and he continued: "After more than a hundred years have passed, the Khitan has gradually become a climate, and they are unable to invade the Great Sui or Goguryeo to the south, but they are constantly in friction with the Beji people in the northern forest. ”

"The Beji people originally lived by fishing and hunting, and did not herd, but under the influence of several Rouran tribes who fled in that year, they also began to be interested in horses. Although the Beji people are fierce and savage, after all, there are few people, and they are in the primitive tribal stage, so they often grab and leave,"

"It's just that in the Beji area, the weather is cold, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the Khitans have gone deep into the mountains and forests several times to fight back, but they have been beaten to the bottom, so although the two families have a grudge, they can only guard their homes, and no one can eat anyone. It's just that if the Beji and Khitan people go to each other's territory, then they will have to ask for a lot of blessings. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "So what Xuancheng means is to wait for Feng Lun to follow the sudden land to the realm of the Khitans, and then let our killers pretend to be Khitans and rob and kill them?" Anyway, this account can be calculated on the heads of the Khitans, so it has nothing to do with us, right? ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The lord is wise, this must have been thought of by the lord a long time ago, but you haven't made a decision for a long time, what are you worried about?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Those who know me, Xuan Chengye, although your idea is good, but we Han people to the territory of the Khitans, will be regarded as an external threat, I have wanted to send a merchant group to the Khitan several times to do some horse and fur business, but has not succeeded, twice to rob, once simply killed people, until now I have not found the murderer, to Beji's territory is certainly full of murderous opportunities." But the borders of the Khitan are not friendly places. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes revealed a hint of cunning: "Lord, you may have forgotten one thing, our good friend Dou Jiande, but there are some Khitan friends, if we go and ask him for help." In view of the funding we have given him over the years, Dou Jiande, who is angry, will not help with this. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Did the lord forget that his subordinates were born in Hebei?" For these Taoist things, I know very well that Dou Jiande was a guard for the Mohe Department of the Monan Turks, but Minister Mohe has been friendly with the Yuling Department of the Khitan Eight Ministries for many years and intermarried, so Dou Jiande has also escorted goods to the Yuling Ministry, and even had a conflict with Wang Suba last time. It was also an incident when he sent someone to escort the caravan trafficked by Mohe to the Khitan Yuling Department. ”

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed: "There is still such a thing?" What can the Khitan Babu buy from the Turks? ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "Mohe is located at the eastern end of the ** grassland in Monan, north of Beji, east to Khitan, south of our Great Sui Youzhou Yingzhou area, because of the separation of this Mohe Department, Khitan eight and the Great Sui can not do business directly, and the Goguryeo State also prohibits the Khitan tribe as servants to have dealings with the Great Sui, so these Khitan tribes. He found a way to transfer to the Turks and purchased a large number of high-quality and inexpensive Central Plains goods through the Mohe tribe in the form of dowries. ”

Wang Shichong breathed a long sigh of relief: "I understand." In other words, we can do business with the Khitans now to gain their trust and help, right? ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Exactly, now Yang Guang has also captured several Goguryeo cities on the east bank of the Liao River and established Liaodong County, which is also bordering the Khitan." If the lord made a suggestion to Yang Guang, he said that he would take advantage of the current favorable conditions to trade with the Khitan, so as to form an alliance and cut off Goguryeo's arm. Then Yang Guang will definitely be very happy, he has money to pursue his own enjoyment, now that the military budget is tight, he is unwilling to take out the treasury income to buy the mortals, if the lord is willing to take the initiative to do this, he has no reason to refuse, so that the lord can justifiably send Xiongxin and take Dou Jiande's people to make secret transactions with the Khitan Yuling Department. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "There are two more questions, one is that this Yuling Ministry will help us for money?" Isn't their enmity with Beji very deep, can they help them in their territory? After all, the assassination of the envoys of the Sui Dynasty is to be responsible, maybe Yang Guang will raise troops to retaliate, are these Khitans willing? If we take revenge, will we betray us? The second is that if the Beji people have an enmity with the Khitans, they will definitely go through the territory of the Khitan tribes, such as the Yuling tribe? ”

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The two questions of the lord are very good, but it is not impossible to solve, this is the first, the lord only needs to send people over to trade and do business, and let Yang Guang issue an edict, and the edict of the Yuling Ministry must make a passage for the Beji delegation to pass." ”

"According to the understanding of his subordinates, that Tudiji can come to the Great Sui this time, he sneaked over from Goguryeo when he returned to the army, and now that the Goguryeo people know about his defection, it is impossible for him to go back the same way, and if he wants to return to his hometown, he can only take the territory of the Khitan Yuling Department. Because the Yuling Department is stuck between Beji and the Great Sui, it was attacked by Beji very fiercely, and the hatred is also deep, but if the lord can persuade Yang Guang and let Yang Guang mediate between the two families, and not hold the Yuling Ministry responsible for helping Goguryeo attack the Great Sui, I think the Yuling Department will definitely agree. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "This is not difficult, it's just that the Yuling Department fought for Goguryeo last time and got benefits, and this time it is willing to fall to the Great Sui so happily?" ”

Wei Zheng also smiled slightly: "Now the situation is different, in the past, the Khitan tribes did not border the Great Sui, so they were the vassals of Goguryeo, but this time Yang Guang seized a lot of territory on the first line of the Liaohe River, and cut off the connection between the Khitan tribes and Liaodong, even if they withdrew their troops, they could only go to the north of Goguryeo and go around in a big circle before returning to their hometown, they also saw the national strength of the Great Sui, they used to surrender to Goguryeo because of lack of strength, and now the behemoth of the Great Sui is by their side, do they dare to fight to the end?" ”

"As for the other suspicion of the lord, we can only send a pure merchant group to do business from the territory of the Great Sui, and then return before the envoy of Feng Lun returns, and those killers will be led by Dou Jiande's people and enter the Khitan through the Turkic Mohe department, so that Yang Guang is to investigate, and it is impossible to find out the lord."

Wang Shichong sighed: "That's right, or Xuancheng thinks carefully, then this matter will be left to you to deal with, I will advise Yang Guang about the matter of trade, remember, wait for Feng Lun to come back and then do it, Beji people are fierce and good at fighting, and he will definitely take strict precautions on the way to Beji, and when he comes back without the protection of Beji people, his vigilance will definitely drop when he returns the same way, and then do it again, don't leave any traces, I just need Feng Lun's head!" (To be continued.) )
