Yang Jian gave an explanation to the army and held a banquet in Daxing Hall to reward the victorious generals. However, because many people were worried, the banquet was not lively and the banquet was quickly dismissed. Although the banquet here was somewhat unpleasant, the Guangyang Gate

The soldiers' banquet was not affected. As for those officers and soldiers who were quite drunk, this celebration banquet was indeed a great success.

Yang Ji originally wanted to go home to see his mother who had been away for a long time, but Yang Jian had someone call him to the Manlu Palace.

"Uncle, brother." When Yang Ji saw Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Yang Zhao were there, he stepped forward and saluted.

"No gifts, no gifts." Yang Jian stepped forward, personally lifted Yang Yangji up with his thin and strong hands, patted his shoulders heavily, and said with a smile: "You have achieved such results for the first time on the battlefield.

It did not live up to my expectations. Especially in the Great Lakes area, even you, Aye, are not as good as you. It is true that the best is better than the blue."

Yang Jian was the prime minister. Before establishing the Sui Dynasty, he was a general with great military exploits and was accustomed to killing and killing. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty, he ended the hundreds of years of confrontation between the north and the south and made the entire Sui Dynasty an unprecedented state.

powerful

The prosperous empire made him even more proud. But the existence of the Turkic Khanate was always like a thorn in his heart, which made him very unhappy. Now this huge empire collapsed by Yang Ji, and he was very happy for this.

Can't sleep at night.

After Yang Ji sat down, he said with a smile: "To be honest, when I first heard that Bujia Khan led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, I was quite scared. But no matter how scared I am, the enemy will not retreat, so I have to hold on.

It’s on my scalp. I can feel it every time I apply it.”

After hearing these words, Yang Jian burst into laughter and said: "So, people's abilities are all forced out. If it weren't for the Turks, you wouldn't even know how capable you are."

"It's just good luck." Yang Ji said: "Actually, I already had the worst plan at that time, which was to exchange the barren Ganzhou for the entire wealthy Great Lakes Region. Let's see who is hurt the most and who can't hold on first.

So we wreaked havoc all the way, killing corpses everywhere in the Great Lakes area, and bleeding into rivers. We only focused on killing people and setting fires to wreak havoc every day, and we didn't even have time to be afraid. Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo and Yin Shishi were so powerful that there was nothing to worry about.

occur."

"They are indeed very powerful." Yang Jian nodded with a smile and continued: "But I admire you even more for knowing how to trust your subordinates. This is what a coach and a superior should do. If you take care of everything in detail,

, in the end it will accomplish nothing.”

"Thank you uncle for your advice."

"Ah? I have something to ask you. You brothers can talk." Yang Jian pretended to be a clay bodhisattva and stopped talking.

It can be seen that he is now trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, gradually retreating behind the scenes, and trying hard to give Yang Guang opportunities to practice and build his prestige.

Yang Guang didn't say anything, but asked his son Yang Zhao to pour tea for the three elders. The tea was an ancient tea soup. Yang Ji didn't have any objection to the tea, which was like vegetable soup. It wasn't that he couldn't drink it, it was just a personal habit.

.

In fact, this kind of tea mixed with countless ingredients has a history of hundreds of years, and the combination is very reasonable. Yang Ji is not sure about other functions, but compared with making tea, at least it has the function of satisfying hunger and nourishing the stomach. After drinking,

Such a big bowl is quite good for the body.

While Yang Zhao was pouring tea, he noticed that this guy seemed to have gained weight again, and it was quite difficult to walk, which made people anxious for him.

Yang Guang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Vajra slave, during the time you were fighting, there were many memorials to impeach you."

"Impeach me?" Yang Ji asked in confusion: "I'm just fighting a war. What's there to impeach?"

"What else?" Yang Guang sneered: "It's just that you attacked the two weak tribes Yiwu and Chuyue tribe without authorization, and your purpose of attacking them was to gain military glory."

"My good brother, you asked me to do this." Yang Ji looked at Yang Guang speechlessly and said, "You can't just sit back and do nothing, can you?"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, how could I just sit back and do nothing?" Yang Guang said: "You captured Yizhou and Chuyue this time, and your impact on our Sui Dynasty was extraordinary. First of all, you conquered our territory in the Sui Dynasty.

It expanded to the Western Regions, followed by cutting off

The connection between the Western Turks and Tuyuhun, thirdly, ensures the safety of our horse-raising land in the Sui Dynasty, and fourthly, it can restart the Silk Road, deepen the commercial exchanges between the Sui Dynasty and the Western Regions, and make the wealth from the Western Regions and other places continue to flow in.

Sui Dynasty. The most important

Yes, if we want to have a full-scale confrontation with the Western Turks, then Yizhou is an extremely important logistics area, so that our Sui army can march into the Western Regions without relying on anyone. So I can only say that those who impeach you

Murine

You are short-sighted and do not understand the importance of Yizhou and Chuyue Department to our Sui Dynasty, nor do you understand our Sui Dynasty's future development strategy! Besides, you opened up territory for our Sui Dynasty, and it is natural to kill the barbarians.

It’s a normal thing, so you don’t have to take it to heart.”

"Of course, some of the people who impeached you are short-sighted people who don't understand the strategy of the Sui Dynasty and have no kindness for women. But most of them are incompetent and don't see that you are better than them. They impeach you because they are jealous of you.

You, in fact, you don’t need to pay attention to this kind of person at all.”

Yang Guang glanced at Yang Ji, who looked unhappy, and comforted him with a smile: "After you defeated Bujia Khan and beheaded Bujia, all the voices of impeaching you disappeared. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Yang Ji also asked.

"It means that when you are a little better than others, it is normal for others to be jealous of you; if you are much better than others, others will admire you; if you are much better than others, others can only look up to you and even be jealous.

You don’t even have the courage. So, if you are impeached by people who are jealous of you, it’s because you haven’t done enough or done well enough.” Yang Guang said with a smile: “But Yang Su, Su Wei and others are impeached by countless people every day.

Impeachment, but they never broke the law

, secondly, they do not violate the rules, so they never take these impeachments to heart, and even improve themselves based on various impeachments, so that they can make progress in the impeachments. Sometimes they even express gratitude to the people who impeached them. This

What is it? This is a man who stands upright. And if you feel unhappy, it means that you are small-minded and not broad-minded enough, so you have to learn from Yang Su and Su Wei, and use various impeachments as spurs to improve yourself."

"I'm not a saint, how can I do this?"

"So you have to learn from Yang Su and others to adapt to impeachment and enjoy impeachment. If no one impeaches you in the future, either you have done a good enough job, or you are not even qualified to be impeached. If it is the former, it is God's fault.

It's a great good thing, but if it's the latter, it's your greatest sorrow."

Yang Ji had no way to refute, so he could only say, dumbfounded, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Yang Guang smiled and changed the topic: "The Turkic Khanate is considered dead after this battle. We don't need the chaotic prairie and let the various forces fight on their own. But there are two places we can't let go or let

As for others, one is the place where Yizhou Chuyuebu is located, and the other is the Great Lakes area where you killed corpses everywhere. However, we don’t know much about that place. We don’t know if it is necessary to occupy it. I would like to hear your opinion.

Please tell us in detail."

"Let's talk in front of the map." Yang Ji stood up and walked to the wall with the map, pointed at the large land west of Yizhou with a wooden pole, and introduced to Yang Guang and Yang Zhao who were walking over: "The place where the Chuyue tribe lives is located in Shiluoman.

The northern foothills of the mountain and the northwest of Puleihai are not only rich in water and grass and fertile fields, but also ancient

It is the strategic hub of the Northern Silk Road and has outstanding geographical advantages. From here to the west, the flat plains extend to Atami. The melted ice and snow from the two mountain ranges in the north and south has brought a large amount of water here, making the land here fertile, green and lush.

It is completely different from the desolate desert scene on the east side of Shiluoman Mountain."

"It was originally the habitat of the Chuyue tribe. Now that the Chuyue tribe has been destroyed by me, and Yizhou has become an inland area, I have asked Wang Wei to lead troops to garrison after defeating Bujia Khan.

Wei, now various Western Turkic forces

In general, the Western Turks can be divided into four major forces, namely the Kuishe Khan in the west, the Nipu Chuluo Khan in the east, Xue Yantuo in the north, and the Qibi tribe in the south. In addition,

It’s me, Suihe

Tuyuhun, as for the countries in the Western Region, they were ruled by four major forces: Kuishe Khan, Nipu Chuluo Khan, Qibi tribe, and Tuyuhun. Although the four major forces did not directly occupy the Western Region, they had been exploiting the countries in the Western Region and forcibly conquered them.

tax, make

The countries are suffering terribly. Now that they are fighting endlessly, they dare not provoke us, the Sui Dynasty. Now is a good opportunity for our Sui Dynasty to extend to the Western Regions. In my opinion, while they are restraining each other, we can fight again in this fertile grassland.

Create a state."

Yang Ji was talking about what later generations called the Yili River Valley in the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall. He saw Yang Guang was silent and continued: "Compared to the Gobi Desert, Yizhou and Guazhou, which are full of deserts, it can be said to be a paradise-like livable holy place.

.If properly developed, utilized

, not only can it be self-sufficient, it can even feed back Yizhou and Guazhou. Of course, the most important thing is its strategic position running through the east and west. If we want to open up the Silk Road, this place must be controlled by our Sui Dynasty. Only in this way can business travel be guaranteed.

safety.”

"I'm so moved." Yang Guang nodded slowly, looked back at Yang Jian, and asked, "Father, what do you think?"

"Don't keep asking me, you figure it out." Yang Jian said.

"Well." Yang Guang said: "Then let's build a Tingzhou here."

"This place is extremely important, and various ethnic groups live together, with different customs and beliefs. It is closely related to our Western Region strategy after the Sui Dynasty. I think it is best to send some practical officials with real talents and knowledge there." Yang Ji suggested.

"Yeah!" Yang Guang nodded and said with a smile, "Let's talk about the Great Lakes area next."

"The Great Lakes District is similar to Tingzhou. It is also a prosperous place, and the area is more vast. However, it is in the place where Ashina Huaide, Xue Yantuo, and Xianbei are competing. Even Qimin Khan is coveting it. I think first

Let them fight for a while. The same goes for the Western Region." Yang Ji said: "Our current main task is to build Yizhou and Tingzhou first, and consolidate the land of Liangzhou where Qiang tribes are spread."

"You mean Tuyuhun?" Yang Guang asked with a knowing smile.

"Exactly!" Yang Ji nodded and said: "During Bujia Khan's southern expedition, Murong Fuyun not only encouraged the Qiang people to cause trouble, but also turned his troops into bandits, plundering and massacring the caravans on the Hexi Corridor.

.Although it has been withdrawn now, we must follow up on this account

He has calculated clearly that only by teaching him a lesson and killing his arrogance can the surrounding tribes know the consequences of offending me, the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, he will jump out when we encounter wars in the future.

Make trouble, and even others will follow suit."

"Your idea is very good. This trend will definitely last." Yang Guang nodded and said: "You are the governor of Liangzhou and the general manager of Liangzhou. I will leave the affairs of the Western Regions and Tuyuhun to you. The court will help you."

Just stick with it and I guarantee that the detainment of military information will not happen again."

"This couldn't be better." Yang Ji said: "We are fighting in the front, but we are being plotted by our own people behind our back. This feeling is really uncomfortable. This time it is also because Bujia Khan himself delayed the time.

, I may not be so lucky next time."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you and the soldiers justice." Yang Guang laughed. He had encountered this kind of thing countless times, so he naturally understood Yang Ji's mood. After saying this, he continued: "There is another thing.
