"General, this is a dead soldier raised by a noble family of the Han Dynasty. General Ying Yanglang of Zhangye County, Li Fengyun, is a direct descendant of the Li family among the eight great families of Guanlong. Although General Ying Yanglang of a county still has a prefect, he holds
An army of 20,000. Neither the Li family nor Li Fengyun himself would be willing to let someone take his position, even if that person is the famous poisonous general who rose up in the Sui Dynasty."
"And this person's suicide has been doomed for a long time. Even if the general didn't order him to be tortured and extorted a confession just now, the messenger will still die if he goes back. After all, he colluded with us to kill the poisonous general Wang Junlin. It's better to kill him. If he can't be killed, with that
If Wang Junlin knew that Li Fengyun was behind the legendary terrorist tactics, he would definitely take revenge."
The person who spoke was a Han counselor from Luo Gesen. In the past ten years or so, it was not unusual for the large tribes and generals in the Eastern Turkic Khanate to have Han men serve as counselors. Many scholars from poor families in the Sui Dynasty had always
There is no way to be an official in the country, and there are always some people with weak will and bad morals who do things for the Turks regardless of the interests of the nation and the country. And among the Turks, especially at the top, there are always people who are far-sighted and far-sighted regardless of ethnic differences.
The counselor next to Rogerson is named Chen Ping. In fact, he is not his own counselor, but a staff member of Qiming Khan. It was Qiming Khan who specially sent him to assist Rogerson when he went south this time. He is usually very capable.
Qiming Khan valued it.
Chen Ping's father was a minister of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because he was loyal to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his family was killed by Yang Jian. Only Chen Ping, who happened to be outside, survived alone. In order to avenge his family, Chen Ping resolutely defected to the Turks. After more than ten years of hard work,
, and became one of Qiming Khan’s most trusted advisers.
Moreover, Chen Ping was in his forties, had a three-foot-long beard, and had an elegant appearance. Like Rogerson, he had a sworn feud with the Sui Dynasty, so the two had a good relationship.
"Although Li Fengyun has sufficient reasons for this matter, I think this matter is still a bit suspicious." Rogerson instinctively doubted all Sui people, "It is difficult for me to understand that the Sui Emperor dismissed Li Fengyun from office for no reason.
The council has no arrangements for it. You must know that the power of the Li Fengyun family was not small in the Sui Dynasty."
Chen Ping gently stroked his long beard and said: "The general does not know. It is precisely because Li Fengyun came from a powerful family that the dog emperor of the Sui Dynasty did this because he has been sparing no effort to weaken the family, and I
I got news some time ago that Wang Junlin was Yang Jian's sword to weaken a wealthy family. It must have been Yang Jian's favorite thing to use Wang Junlin to force a descendant of a wealthy family who controlled an army of 20,000 to lose military power.
"
Luo Gesen nodded. What Chen Ping said made sense. Because of his hatred against the Sui people, he usually paid more attention to the situation in the Sui Dynasty and knew a little about it. He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chen, in your opinion
, what should we do about this matter, be used by Li Fengyun to kill Wang Junlin, or let Wang Junlin seize Li Fengyun's military power."
Chen Ping said without hesitation: "The aristocratic family is the biggest cancer of the Sui Dynasty. Since the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty wants to weaken the aristocratic family, we naturally cannot let him succeed, so we must kill Wang Junlin, and with Wang Junlin's ferocity
Fame and power, if the general can kill the opponent, not only will the prestige of the Turkic Khanate in our east be greatly increased, but it will also be famous in the western regions. I heard that those people in the western Turks are very afraid of Wang Junlin."
"Mr. Wang is really thoughtful."
Luo Gesen repeatedly praised: "And killing Wang Junlin can be regarded as breaking Yu Juluo's arm."
Chen Ping suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "What the general said reminded me of a clever plan that can help the general successfully complete the task assigned by the Khan."
When Rogerson heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Chen, please tell me what your clever plan is."
Chen Ping said with a smile: "After the general killed Wang Junlin, he tried to tell Yu Juluo about Li Fengyun's collusion with us to kill Wang Junlin. Yu Juluo and Wang Junlin were the same father and son, and the dead man just said that Wang Junlin
There is another person beside Jun Lin who is the grandson of Yu Juluo. Do you think Yu Juluo will kill Li Fengyun in anger? Naturally, the latter will not sit still and wait for death. By then, civil strife is likely to break out within Yongzhou. The Tuyuhun people will
Not only can the danger be solved, but the general can also take the opportunity to kill the Sui army severely."
Next to him, Rogerson's deputy was a little worried: "What if Wang Junlin can't be killed?"
Luo Gesen sneered and shouted: "Although Wang Junlin has some powerful methods, but now that he has returned to Yongzhou from the Sui capital city, he only has a few hundred guards at most. If I can't kill him with my five thousand Silver Wolf King Cavalry, I will
How can you have the dignity to go back and see the Khan?"

In the vast northwest land, the Qilian Mountains are like a giant dragon stretching from east to west, stretching for thousands of miles, dividing the entire Hexi Corridor and half of the Western Region into two.
For thousands of years, pedestrians have been walking in the Hexi Corridor for 800 miles from Jincheng to the west of Zhangye County. However, due to the direction of mountains and valleys, the roads in the Hexi Corridor have gradually formed six important corridors, large and small.
It is called the Eight Qilian Roads, among which Gansha Road is the most important. It is the shortest direct road connecting Shazhou to Zhangye and Jincheng counties. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
This passage has an important east and west pass in Zhangye County of the Sui Dynasty. To the west is Wang Junlin's Gaotai City. To the east is Shaping Pass, which was occupied by Zhangye County Yingyanglang General Li Fengyun's confidant Guoyi Duwei.
Guarded by Li Congrui, countless merchants traveling east and west along the Silk Road passed through this strategic route every day, and a Shiping Town was formed east of Shaping Pass for a long time.
At noon that day, a team of more than 200 people arrived in Shiping Town. There were three carriages among them, and the rest were knights dressed as guards. It looked like they were officials or big shots from a wealthy family.
Although the Sui Dynasty had been founded for more than 20 years, there was still no peace on the road, not to mention that Zhangye County had been taken back less than a year ago, and there were many horse thieves and bandits in the Qilian Mountains. Now they were fighting Tuyuhun again, so it was normal to bring so many guards.
However, the targets of horse thieves, grass bandits, and bandits are mainly focused on businessmen with rich pockets and low social status. They do not dare to kill people and buy goods when traveling with wealthy aristocrats and officials. They are also afraid of causing a big trouble and provoking the army to encircle and suppress them.
Therefore, most of the merchants who came and went traveled in groups, and some merchants even paid to hire military escorts. Over the past year, Li Fengyun has done this kind of thing from time to time.
Shiping Town belongs to Matou County, the easternmost part of Zhangye County. It is less than ten miles away from Shapingguan. It is a middle town composed of more than a hundred households. Although there are not many households, there are many businesses, and hundreds of households have at least
Eighty percent of them are opening stores.
