Yang Yuanqing returned to Shulin Camp, but saw dozens of horses and some Sui soldiers outside the camp, not his subordinates, but local troops. He was slightly stunned. Is anyone here to find him?
A sentry came forward and said, "Report to the general manager, it is Pei Sima of Dingxiang County, and now he is waiting in the tent!"
"I got it. There is no ads in the full text"
Yang Yuanqing turned over and got off the horse, walked into the woods, and walked towards his side tent. In the side tent, a civil servant was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. He was Pei Ji, a Sima of Dingxiang County. Pei Ji was from Sangquan, Puzhou. He was the same ancestor as the Wenxi Pei family. Since Dingxiang County was too remote and had only hundreds of families, he was just a very inconspicuous small official.
Pei Ji followed the Goryeo envoy all the way, but after the Goryeo envoy crossed the bridge, he actually destroyed the bridge. When he repaired the bridge, the Goryeo envoy was gone. After searching for a long time, he found Yang Yuanqing's camp.
Yang Yuanqing walked in with a curtain lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Which Sima is it?"
Pei Ji hurriedly saluted, "I'm going to get to Sima Pei Ji of Dingxiang County, see General Yang!"
Seeing that he was about forty years old, he had a very beautiful appearance and had a bit of a fairy-like spirit, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Sima Pei. I'm rude. Sima please sit down!"
Yang Yuanqing asked Pei Ji to sit down, and ordered his personal soldiers to serve tea. Pei Ji sat down, feeling a little uneasy. Yang Yuanqing's enthusiasm made him feel that Yang Yuanqing might have misunderstood that he was a student of the Pei family, and quickly explained: "I have nothing to do with Wenxi's Pei family."
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "What does it have to do with the Pei family? Pei Sima is the master. I am the guest who is only passing by. Shouldn't the guests be more modest?"
Pei Ji suddenly realized, and he quickly smiled and said, "It should be the master who has fulfilled his friendship with the landlord, and I am rude."
Yang Yuanqing smiled, stopped talking, and asked him directly: "Did Sima Pei come to see me?"
"No! No!"
Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I found a strange team of envoys three days ago and sneaked across the border. I followed them all the way. As a result, they destroyed the bridge when they crossed the Jin River. When I built the bridge, the envoys were gone. I don't know whether to go to see the emperor or to the Turks?"
"They are envoys of Goryeo. I went to the Turks. I just went to chase them, sneaking all the way, and I don't know what to do with the Turks?"
Pei Ji smiled, "Actually, I know what they did to the Turks, and something happened to the Turks."
"What happened?"
"Khan Qimin is dead, does General Manager Yang not know?"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned. He didn't know the news. He hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"
"About a month and a half ago, I heard from a Turkic businessman, and I didn't know whether it was true or not. The emperor should have heard of it, so he decided to come to the border for inspection. There is no advertisement in the full text."
Yang Yuanqing was a little ashamed. In the past or two years, he devoted himself to internal affairs and did not care about Turkic affairs. He didn't know such a major matter as Qimin Khan's death, but at least Wutu should have sent someone to tell him why he didn't send someone? Could it be that there was an internal strife within the Turkic? He suddenly cared about the situation of Princess Cheng of the Rioting and Yuchi Wan, and felt a little uneasy.
Pei Ji was a very meticulous person. He felt a little uneasy in Yang Yuanqing's heart, thinking that Yang Yuanqing was worried that the emperor would blame him. He hurriedly said, "This matter is indeed very secret. I heard it by chance, and it is not necessarily true."
Yang Yuanqing smiled gratefully, pondered for a while and asked again: "The emperor has arrived in Qifubo. Haven't the Turks come to see you yet?"
"I heard that it has arrived. There are many people coming to the north of Qifubo."
Yang Yuanqing was still thinking about the Goryeo envoy. He felt that the Goryeo envoy was not here to praise filial piety. It was impossible in terms of time, but it should be for something else.
Yang Yuanqing was distracted and the two had nothing to say for a moment. Pei Ji wanted to have a condom relationship with Yang Yuanqing, so he asked Yang Yuanqing to say a few good things to him in front of the saint so that he could transfer him from this bitter and cold place. Even if he was asked to go to the Central Plains to be the county magistrate, he would be willing. He really couldn't stand the pain of Dingxiang County.
But it was only the first time he and Yang Yuanqing met, and they couldn't speak. Pei Ji smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "If General Yang had nothing else, I would say goodbye!"
Yang Yuanqing quickly stood up and bowed and smiled, "Thank you for the news from Sima Pei. It's very timely. If I see the emperor, I will definitely say a few good words for Sima Pei."
Pei Ji was overjoyed. He didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to be so reasonable and quickly gave a deep gift, "Mr. Yang will remember the kindness of his subordinates in his heart, and he will not disturb him. Let's say goodbye!"
Pei Ji was grateful and said goodbye and left. Yang Yuanqing returned to his tent. Seeing Chuchen wearing armor all over his body, he was as if he was going to go to war. He was stunned, "Where are you going?"
Chuchen smiled and said, "I feel like you are going to fight, so be prepared first so that you can get rid of me."
"Where did you think of it? This is in the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. Who are you going to fight with?"
Yang Yuanqing thought about it, and he asked her in Turkic words: "I have something I want to leave to you, can you?"
Chuchen has been in Wuyuan County for two years and has been idle, and has also learned one or two hundred common Turkic words. After hearing Yang Yuanqing's words, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, what's the matter?"
After Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, he regretted it and waved his hand quickly, "It's okay, I'm just trying to see how you are in Turkic."
"No! You must have something to ask me for help."
Chuchen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Yang Yuanqing's neck, and smiled and said, "I know you so well. You regret it as soon as you say it, and then changed your words. For no reason, what do you try to do in Turkic language? Tell me quickly, what do you want me to do?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly. He knew that he could not hide it from the world, so he had to say, "I originally wanted you to send me a letter, but I felt it was too dangerous."
"But you still hope I will go in your heart, right!" Chuchen said in his eyes.
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. With her outstanding martial arts, she was the most suitable, and more importantly, she was a woman who could protect Princess Yicheng in close proximity.
"That's fine. Give me the letter and tell me who to send the letter?"
Yang Yuanqing hesitated for a long time before he slowly said: "I promised Princess Yicheng that I would never let her marry her son again."
.........
Late at night, Yang Yuanqing sent Wuchen fifty miles away. He was still worried. He didn't know whether his decision was stupid. Whether on the battlefield or in the officialdom, he was decisive and would never drag on the mud. But after all, Chuchen was his wife and his relative. What should he do if something happened to her?
Seeing that Yang Yuanqing was hesitating, Chuchen smiled and said, "You have always been such a decisive person, why have you become such a mother-in-law again now?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, looked into her eyes and said, "I really regret not letting you go now."
Chuchen understood Yang Yuanqing's care for her in his heart, and was silently moved. She said softly: "Yuan Qing, I have experienced all the more dangerous things than this. I have enough experience, don't worry! I have a way to protect myself."
Yang Yuanqing nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something, and immediately slapped his forehead, and quickly turned around and took out a golden arrow from the horse bag. This was the Khan golden arrow that Aduosi stole to him from the Turkic king's tent. Back then, he used this golden arrow order to escape from the core area of the Turkic tent. Even if the Turkic people changed the Khan, the golden arrow would not be changed.
"I deserve to die, I forgot about such an important thing!"
Yang Yuanqing urged him to step forward and handed the golden arrow to Chuchen, "This is the order of their Khan. If you encounter any danger, you can show this golden arrow to keep you safe."
Chuchen took the Jinjian and smiled: "Then you don't have to worry, I will definitely return safely!"
She whipped the war horse hard and ran towards the north. Her figure gradually disappeared deep in the grassland. Yuan Qing looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
.........
The next morning, Yang Yuanqing led 500 cavalry to continue running eastward. That night, they arrived at Qifubo.
Qifubo is a gourd-shaped lake with an area of thousands of hectares, with extremely clear water quality and abundant grass around it. It has always been a treasure land for the Turks to grazle. Although it was in Mayi County, Turkic herders came to grazle, and the Sui soldiers did not interfere.
But now it is different. There are 300,000 troops stationed by Qifubo Lake. This time, the Sui army did not use the long snake formation to march like before, but instead use the regiment formation.
Yang Yuanqing led his army to a hill, and the 300,000 troops suddenly appeared in front of Yang Yuanqing. The bonfires were ignorant at first sight, which made him feel like he had entered a world full of stars.
The ** city of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty and the tents of all officials were surrounded by layers of 300,000 troops in the middle like cabbage cores.
"Who?" A sentry discovered them, and more than a hundred cavalry rushed forward, raised their crossbows and pointed them at them, extremely alert.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I am Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou. I will come to see you on the order of the emperor!"
At this time, an officer ran out. He knew Yang Yuanqing and immediately bowed: "It turned out to be General Yang. The emperor has an order. If you come, you will be ordered to see the emperor immediately. General Yang, please follow me!"
Yang Yuanqing knew the rules, so he only brought five personal guards, and the rest of the soldiers were stationed on the periphery. He gave a few more instructions, and then took the personal guards and followed the officer to Yang Guang's ** city.
** In the city, Yang Guang reviewed the memorials in the imperial study room as usual. This time he went north to inspect, he received news of the death of Khan of Qimin. However, this news was not sent by Princess Yicheng to tell him, but the memorials submitted by the prefect of Dingxiang County, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Among the three major threats in Yang Guang's mind, the Turks ranked third. Although Qimin Khan always surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty when he was alive, Qimin Khan still made many small moves and almost betrayed the Great Sui Dynasty several times. Now that Qimin Khan has passed away, his son succeeded to the Khan throne. What would he be about the Great Sui Dynasty? Can he surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty like his father?
Yang Guang was unsure, especially after more than a month after Qimin Khan passed away, the Turks did not come to report the death, which made him even more suspicious. The Turks are no longer the small tribe that had more than ten thousand people back then, but a powerful grassland overlord with nearly one million armored soldiers. If the Turks had the intention of being unjust, they would be a serious threat to the Great Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang was very worried that his father's prophecy would come true. Once the Turks became a threat to the Sui Dynasty, it would inevitably affect his plan to completely eliminate the Guanlong nobles. In any case, he must understand clearly this Northern Tour, whether the Turks would pose a threat to the Sui Dynasty?
Just as Yang Guang lowered his head to review the memorial, an eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou, has arrived."
Yang Guang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and announce him to come in!"
