Chapter 5 Khan Golden Arrow

Yang Yuanqing quickly walked into the imperial study room, knelt down on one knee to salute, "My minister Yang Yuanqing met His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Mr. Yang is exempted from giving gifts and being calm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanqing stood up, Yang Guang looked at him carefully, and suddenly remembered his elder sister Yang Lihua. He couldn't help feeling sad, his tone became gentle, and he smiled and said, "I have read the report from Fengzhou in the past two years. I am very satisfied. The Ministry of Civil Affairs stated that Wuyuan County has too many populations and only one county is difficult to manage. It needs to be divided into three to five counties. I want to hear your opinions."

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs initially planned to immigrate 300,000 households, but the actual immigration situation was in return. Basically, there were three households and one household to relocate. So the total number of households in Fengzhou is about 200,000. If it is in the mainland, it is indeed necessary to divide into three to five counties, but it is different in the border areas. The frontier is too threatened by the Hu people. If it is divided into counties, there will be conflicts of interest between the counties, which is not conducive to concentrating efforts against the Northern Hu. Therefore, the Han Dynasty only divided the two counties of Shuofang and Wuyuan, including today's Yulin County area, but there are twenty-six counties. Therefore, my opinion is to follow the example of the Han Dynasty's division of counties and not counties, build more castle counties to prevent Turkic invasion, and then slowly consider the issue of counties after more than ten years of stability."

Yang Guang nodded, "You are right. The households are considered according to the number of households in the mainland, and have not considered the facts of the border. In fact, my idea is similar to yours. Now I need to stabilize it before I can consider the division of counties based on the threat situation in Beihu. The Hetao area is limited and it is difficult to withstand too many people. Two hundred thousand households are enough, so immigration will be temporarily stopped. In addition, as for Yulin County, I will not consider immigration for the time being, after all, the threat of the Turks is too great."

Yang Yuanqing took out the report on his work and submitted it to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, this is my report when I prepare for my work next year. Since I see Your Majesty, I will submit it first. There are some of my thoughts and the situation of the Western Turks."

Speaking of Western Turks, Yang Guang remembered something. He turned over the memorials. Finally, Yang Yuanqing had a narrative about Western Turks. Yang Guang frowned and said, "King Qu Boya, King of Gaochang, also reported to me that the Western Turks Chuluo Khan was defeated by the Shekui Khan. Now the Chuluo Khan has fled to the territory of Gaochang. I am considering taking Chuluo Khan back to the Sui Dynasty and following the example of supporting the Qimin Khan. Yuanqing, you are more familiar with the Turks. What do you think?"

Yang Guang was never willing to listen to advice, but today he actually consulted Yang Yuanqing's opinions twice, which also shows that the Turks did put a lot of pressure on Yang Guang. Yang Yuanqing also felt that he had a deep purpose for him to see Yang Guang this time, and he wanted to tell Yang Guang a good idea and deal with the Turks.

"Your Majesty, it is better to provoke than support. The Turkic Shekui Khan was an ambitious person, and the same is true for the son of Qimin. If we can provoke wars between the East and West Turks, they will be weakened by internal strife, just like Datou and Dulan back then, this will be beneficial to the Great Sui Dynasty without any harm.

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed. Yang Yuanqing's suggestion opened a window for him, so that he could see a good strategy for dealing with the Turks. He stood up and walked with his hands behind his back, then turned around and asked, "What if the East and West Turks jointly dealt with the Sui Dynasty? Just like that."

"Your Majesty, at one time and another, at least for the Western Turks, the Sui Dynasty was not his best interest. His best interests were in the grasslands and the Tiel tribes in the Western Regions. If the Western Turks dared to invade the Great Sui Dynasty, I could convince the Tiel tribes to attack their rear. As for the Qimin tribes, I know that they are not united within them."

Yang Yuanqing thought of the Wutu tribe, and Yang Guang laughed happily, "Last year, Changsun Sheng passed away, I was worried that I could not find a suitable candidate for Turkic envoy. Pei Ju is old and it is difficult to travel a long distance. I considered letting you be a Turkic envoy back then. Now it seems that my idea is not wrong. General Yang, I agree with your plan, but are you willing to take on this task for me?"

Yang Yuanqing bowed without hesitation and said, "I am willing to share your worries and solve your problems!"

"very good!"

Yang Guang's mood suddenly improved, and he began to turn the topic to today's important business. He pondered for a moment and said, "In the 18th year of Kaihuang, the late emperor failed to conquer Goryeo. I have always had this idea. Last year, I wiped out Tuyuhun. The war in the west ended. Now that the neighbors are all settled, I am considering the matter of Goryeo. But the Turks are too threatening, so I have been unable to decide. If you can successfully provoke internal conflicts between the East and the East Turks, then I will decide to use the army that will sway the country to attack Goryeo. Yuanqing. What do you think?"

This is the third time that Yang Yuanqing has consulted Yang Yuanqing, and his name has changed. In Yang Yuanqing's memory, Yang Guang will only call his name directly when talking about dealing with the Guanlong nobles. Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but think that Yang Zhao once told him that Yang Guang wanted to launch a large-scale war to completely resolve the control of the Guanlong nobles over the army.

Yang Yuanqing asked again tentatively: "Your Majesty, the small country of Goryeo has only 100,000 soldiers and its equipment is far inferior to the Sui army. I think that the soldiers are strange but not in the crowd when dealing with Goryeo. If I were asked to conquer Goryeo, 30,000 troops were enough. Why should I prosper the army that is full of troops?"

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed into a slit, and a cold and fierce glow flashed. He slowly said, "Yuan Qing, do you really don't understand what I mean?"

Yang Yuanqing was finally sure. It seems that the three battles in Goryeo were indeed Yang Guang's shocking bet.

Yang Yuanqing bowed resolutely and said, "I am willing to implement the East-West Turkic Strategy for Your Majesty!"

At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered something again and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I came to the east to see you this time and met the Goryeo envoy on the way. They were going to the Turks, but I think that their intentions to see the Turks have nothing to do with the death of the Khan of Qimin, and time is not up to par!"

Yang Guang was stunned. Why did Goryeo go to meet Turks at this time?

As the sage of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty arrived in Qifubo, the Turkic Shibi Khan led 100,000 tribes to the north of Qifubo. Thousands of large tents were also distributed on the endless grassland. When night fell, countless bonfires were scattered on the grassland like stars in the sky.

Zhang Chuchen painted his face dark, changed into Turkic clothes, and wore a muddy hat. She was very tall. From a distance, she was just a thin Turkic man. She led a horse and walked aimlessly in the Turkic camp. She walked through the bonfires. From time to time, people called her to sit down and drink, but she ignored her, and the Turkic people ignored her. Everyone was at peace with the situation. It was the same thing to ask for help without a request. Whether to sit or not, no one cared. She did not encounter any trouble in the camp outside the Turkic camp.

However, it is not so easy to enter the Turkic inner camp. The defense is extremely strict, with five steps and three steps. You have to shout commands at any time. There are constant cavalry whistles to defend back and forth, which is almost impeccable.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to use gold arrows. In the Turks, gold arrows were just one of the talismans to tune troops. The gold arrows could not be used alone. They were usually engraved with wood as seal talismans. The seal talismans were agreed upon by each tribe, and then sealed with wax, and paired with the Golden Arrow Order representing the authority of the Khan. In addition, the Golden Arrow Order specially designated by each tribe, the Golden Warriors, the three special commands, the orders, and the talismans were combined to mobilize the armies of each tribe.

There are thirty-six Golden Arrow Orders, representing thirty-six tribes. Each additional tribe will add a golden arrow. These Golden Arrow Orders are recognized by the chiefs of each tribe at the tribe conference. If there is no special reason, they cannot be changed.

If the change is to be changed, the process is extremely complicated, and a tribal meeting is also required to explain the reasons, and it is necessary to obtain unanimous agreement between the tribes before it can be changed. This involves more complex interest relations. Therefore, although Yang Yuanqing received a golden arrow, Yang Yuanqing did not have a wooden seal talisman, nor did he have a golden warrior, and he could not transfer troops. He could only make a passive order, which had no impact on the overall situation of the Turkic situation. Rangan concealed the story of his daughter stealing the golden arrow from the tribes.

The golden arrow was still effective. Chu Chen quickly walked towards a Turkic soldier guarding the inner camp and showed him the golden arrow in his hand. Without saying a word, the Turkic soldier was shocked and immediately fell to the ground, not daring to look up. Chu Chen floated past him and walked through the first level.

Even she didn't expect that the Golden Arrow had such a high authority, but she didn't know that only Khan's thirty-six most confidant Jinshu could hold the Golden Arrow Order. The Turkic Sentinel obviously regarded her as one of the Golden Arrows.

He urged the horse to walk out of a mile, and suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from the darkness. There were flat grasslands around him and there were no big trees to hide. Wu Chen became wise in a hurry and turned around and walked out. A group of sentries rushed over. The leader of the leader shouted sternly: "Who is it? Command!"

Wuchen didn't know what command she took the Golden Arrow Order and said in a simple Turkic voice: "I'll leave the camp to deliver a letter!"

When the commander saw the Golden Arrow Order, he was so scared that he quickly saluted him, "I don't know if it's Jinwu, I'm sorry for my crime!"

Although the thirty-six golden warriors were all tall and burly, the person in front of him seemed slender and a little inconsistent, the other party had the Golden Arrow Order in his hand, which made him dare not ask more questions. With a wave of his hand, he led the sentry to run away.

Wuchen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She urged the horse to speed up and ran through two levels in a row. Finally, she entered the inner camp. The inner camp consists of hundreds of large tents, living in them are the chiefs of various tribes and the Ashina royal family. The black and huge dome tent in the middle is the Turkic king tent.

As soon as Wu Chen walked into the inner camp, dozens of ambushers suddenly appeared around him. He raised his Sui crossbow and pointed it at her. A centurion said coldly: "Who is it? You dare to trespass into the forbidden circle!"

This is the fifth level and the last level. It is extremely strict. Thousands of people are ambushed in the forbidden circle. To enter the inner camp, they must go to the main gate. This is the internal order of the Turks. Even ordinary Turkic soldiers on the periphery do not know about it, let alone outsiders like Zhang Chuchen.

Wuchen raised the golden arrow and said, "Go to the Sui Camp and come back to report!"

"Hmph! Since you are on an envoy, why don't you go to the main gate? You are sneaking and want to sneak into the inner camp, saying!"

"I was sent by Khan, and I have golden arrows as evidence!"

The centurion sneered, "Since it is sent by Khan, then you come with me to see Khan. If Khan admits, I will not pursue it, otherwise you will be a spy!"

This time she committed a foul first. Although there was a golden arrow, it was not so easy to deal with. Wuchen knew in his heart that she could not pass this level. Her eyes quickly swept away, and there were eighteen people in total. She could instantly deal with the five people on the left, and then use her light skills to escape quickly. When the other party started blocking and searching the entire camp, she had already escaped from the Turkic camp. However, in this way, the task assigned to her by Yang Yuanqing failed.

The Turkic language was not good. The other party spoke very fast. She didn't understand what the other party was saying. She felt helpless and sighed secretly, preparing to give it a try. Just as she was about to take action, a crisp woman's voice came from behind the Turkic soldiers.

"I sent her out to find someone for me."
