Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 207

Xiao Chuan knew that Yang Guang's impatient temper had broken again, and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, this matter is like archery. The more we draw the bow and arrow, the more calm we are, the farther we can shoot, and we will be killed with one arrow."

Yang Guangdao: "My cousin is right, Xiao Wang will calm down."

Xiao Chuan looked at the generals who came to protect the children and said sternly: "You must be strict with your mouth and don't leak secrets."

Lai Hu'er, Qu Tutong, Yu Juluo, Zhang Xutuo, and Yuchijia shuddered in their hearts, and immediately knelt down on one knee, with their right hands hammered on their chests, and swore: "I will swear with my human hair that I will be loyal to Jin Dynasty." King, never tell the secret."

Yang Guang smiled and stretched out his hand to help him, and said: "Generals please stand up, Xiao Wang trusts you."

At this moment, a guard of the Jin Palace came in to report: "Your Highness, someone from the frontier has an urgent military report."

Yang Guangdao: "Let him in."

A soldier with unkempt hair and crooked armor staggered in. When he saw Yang Guang, he knelt down on one knee to give a military salute. However, due to fatigue, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

Yu Juluo and Zhang Xutuo who were close hurriedly stretched out their hands to support the visitor.

Xiao Chuan recognized the person, and asked curiously: "Shi Wansui, you are not on the border in Dunhuang? Why did you come back to Chang'an?"

The soldier was Shi Wansui, a Dunhuang criminal who came to Chang'an to sell cattle and sheep a few months ago.

Shi Wansui's lips were chapped, and his voice was hoarse: "His Royal Highness, Marquis of Wannian, I have an urgent report on the Turkic military situation."

Dugu Cheng handed over a bowl of water and said, "Shi Wansui, drink a bowl of water first to moisten your throat."

Shi Wansui took the water bowl, said: "Thank you." Then he drank it up.

Sun Sheng, the head of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, served as the deputy envoy of Yu Wenqing, the Duke of Runan, and escorted the fake Qianjin Princess to the tooth flag of Ashina Photo Khan.In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, dozens of envoys were sent to Turks successively, but most of them were despised and disrespected by Tubo Khan's uncles and nephews, but he especially admired Changsun Sheng, and often went hunting with him.

This time it was Changsun Sheng who sent the military information to Shi Wansui.

Changsun Sheng's fame spread far and wide since he was young.

That was when Emperor Xuan of Zhou reigned. In a court martial arts competition, Changsun Sheng was physically fit and agile, and won No. 1 in horseback riding and archery.

At that time, Yang Jian was deeply amazed when he saw how heroic this young eldest Sun Sheng was.

After the competition, Yang Jian had a conversation with Chang Sun Sheng and admired Chang Sun Sheng's strategic insights on the art of war.

From now on, every time Yang Jian thought of this, he said to others: "Changsun Sheng is superb in martial arts and has a genius, this kid will definitely become a famous general in the future!"

Later, Changsun Sheng escorted Princess Qianjin and her relatives to Turkic envoys, and became friends with Ashina Shetu and his younger brother Ashina Daluo.

The picture taken by Ashina is the son of Ashina Keluo, Khan of Yixiji.

In the second year of Emperor Abandoned in the Western Wei Dynasty (AD 553), Yixiji Khan passed away. Before he died, he abandoned his son to take pictures and let his younger brother Mugan Khan succeed him.

In the first year of Jiande (572), Mugan Khan passed away, and his son Daluo succeeded him. Daluobian and Tuobo Khan, another uncle who took pictures, succeeded Khan.

After Tuobo Khan succeeded to the throne, he appointed Erfu Khan to rule the eastern Turkic region. Daluobian, the son of Mugan Khan, did not let him take charge of one side alone because of his mother's humble background. He didn't say anything, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

Once when Chang Sun Sheng was on a safari with Ashina to take pictures, he happened to encounter two big eagles flying in the sky and fighting for food.

Ashina Shetu has long heard that Changsun Sheng's arrow skills are outstanding, and he was half-believed, so he wanted to try his arrow skills, so he took out two arrows and handed them to Changsun Sheng, saying: "Changsun Cheng, I will give you two arrows. Can you shoot these two big eagles?"

Changsun Sheng took the arrow with a smile, galloped forward, bent his bow and nocked an arrow. While the two big eagles were fighting, the bowstring sounded, and an arrow hit two eagles.

Ashina admired the pictures and ordered all the Turkic nobles to learn archery from Changsun Sheng.

So Changsun Sheng stayed in Turkic.

Changsun Sheng was very smart. He traveled all over the desert and used various opportunities to observe the mountains and rivers of the Turks, understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Turkic tribes and their mutual relations, and familiarize themselves with the internal conditions of the Turks. He gradually became a "Turkic expert".

Sun Sheng learned that Chu Luohou, Ashina Shetu's younger brother, was very popular among the people, but Ashina Shetu didn't like him. The competition between the two was very fierce, and Chu Luohou was always dissatisfied with his brother.

So Changsun Sheng secretly made friends with Luohou, often hunting with him in various parts of the Turks, and secretly formed an alliance with him.

Changsun Sheng was dissatisfied when he heard that Daluo, the son of Mugan Khan, was not appointed as a khan by Tuobo Khan and was under Ashina's photoshoot, so he also began to make friends with Daluo.

The Great Sui Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity. Strong enemies looked around. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty decided to stop the annual tribute to the Turks based on the opinions of all ministers, which dealt a heavy blow to the Turkic economy. , adopted a three-pronged approach.

He also unswervingly adopted the policy of active defense and strengthened the defense system. In April of the first year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty began to recruit migrant workers to build the Sui Great Wall, which stretched to the Yellow River in the east and Bochuling in the south.

On this day, Changsun Sheng and Daluo drank in the tent, and Daluo drank a large bowl of kumiss in one gulp, saying, "Anda, the Turks are about to start a war with you Han people, why don't you leave? Wait for the flag sacrifice." ?"

Changsun Cheng was startled when he heard the words, but his expression remained the same, he said, "Anda, haven't the Turks and Bei Zhou always been friendly? Why did they go to war?"

Da Luo quickly said: "Princess Qianjin was angry that Yang Jian had robbed the Northern Zhou Dynasty and killed their Northern Zhou royal family. She kept crying in front of my uncle. My uncle was very dissatisfied with the abolition of the annual tribute by the Great Sui Dynasty, so he assembled hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to prepare Crusade against the Sui Dynasty."

Changsun Sheng pretended not to care, cut off a piece of mutton with a sharp knife, pierced the mutton with the tip of the knife, put it into his mouth, chewed the mutton for a few mouthfuls, and then said: "I am from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the guard of Princess Qianjin, and I am not a big man." Sui people, Khan will not do anything to me. Besides, Khan wants to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It will probably take two months. By then, the Sui Dynasty will be ready for war. The outcome of this battle is unpredictable. ah."

Daluo then smiled and said: "Chang Sun Sheng, they all say that we Turks are upright and you Han people are cunning. I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

Changsun Sheng said, "Is there some kind of trick here?"

Daluo said in a low voice: "My elder brother Ashina took the picture and gave my uncle an idea. What are you Han people called?"

Daluo patted his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "Tell Mingxiu to hide in Chen Cang on the plank road."

Changsun Sheng sneered and said, "Ashina still understands Han Xin's art of war when taking pictures?"

Da Luo quickly said: "My uncle not only brought a lot of Buddhist scriptures from Northern Qi, but also got a lot of idle books. Ashina usually likes to read those broken books to please my uncle. I don't think those books are worthless at all. Han Xin He is Liu Bang’s servant, isn’t he not as powerful as Liu Bang? Liu Bang was besieged by the Huns and nearly died, and he had to rely on skillful bows and horses, brave warriors, and everything else is nonsense.”

Changsun Sheng didn't refute, he raised his wine bowl and said, "Anda is right, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they are not as fast as Anda's sword. Come, drink!"
