"This is reasonable, not to mention that the Northwest aristocratic family has also learned a lesson. At least they are still obedient now." Yang Su said in a low voice.
Niu Hong spread his hands helplessly: "But the output of this racecourse cannot be increased in a short while. What will happen even if Yang Jian takes over the northwest at this time?"
"Perhaps Yang Jian's intention is not in the northwest." Yang Su hesitated, and it was obvious that he himself was not sure whether this inference was correct.
"There has been no conflict between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian for a month. Are you saying that a war might be brewing between the two of them?" Niu Hong was startled. This is naturally a good thing for the big man.
These matters are still being implemented steadily, and sowing discord between the two northern neighbors can be said to be a "basic national policy."
"No, our white robes have arranged to infiltrate to the north." Yang Su shook his head, "If there is really a war in the north, there will be no movement at all. And you are not unaware of the previous wars in the north.
It can be said that the losses were heavy, and I believe that they are recuperating rather than taking action rashly at this time."
"Could they want to join forces to deal with us?"
"It's not impossible, but it's unlikely. If they really want to attack us, I'm afraid they will first pretend to let us relax our vigilance, and then suddenly attack at the same time." Yang Su decisively vetoed, "And
You are also from the north, so I don’t need to tell you what that means.”
Niu Hong smiled bitterly. It would be a bit of a fool's errand to think that the two families, who were already inseparable from each other, would put aside their barriers to attack Li Xingchen at the same time. Maybe they would fight on the road first. After all, the conflict between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian is not actually the same.
Not only the contradiction between a powerful minister and a prince, but also the contradiction between the throne, the contradiction between all the aristocratic families and the royal family who are actively or passively involved, and even the contradiction between the Xianbei and the Han people.
These contradictions exist in any dynasty. However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the heroic leader Yuwen Yong suddenly died, so this contradiction instantly became the main contradiction. In contrast, the people of Bashu and Shu were occupied at that time to watch the excitement.
Li Xingchen and Nan Chen from Jiangnan are nothing. Whoever can win the Central Plains will be the future master of the world. Everyone sees this. In the end, who would have thought that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian were fighting in full swing in the Central Plains?
This was a huge advantage for Li Xingchen.
This situation is not uncommon, especially in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the split between the two families is almost a commonplace. Not to mention that in the past, the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms took turns to be emperors, and the Northern Wei Dynasty also split into the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei.
It also changed into the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
It can be said that the ethnic conflicts, interest disputes, etc. for three hundred years have not been truly resolved in the end. Sooner or later they will break out one day. Now it is reasonable for Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian to divide the Northern Zhou Dynasty again.
In history, the death of the second generation of the Sui Dynasty was not only due to the arrogance and extravagance of Emperor Sui Yang, but it is undeniable that a large part of it was due to the royal family, the people, the Bazhuguo family headed by Li Yuan, and the old Xianbei tribe headed by Yu Wenhuaji.
There were conflicts between the Hongnong Yang family headed by Yang Xuangan and other Guanzhong aristocratic families, and even Shandong aristocratic families.
Today's scene in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is essentially very similar to that in the late Sui Dynasty, except that these contradictions were intensified in advance.
With these irreconcilable contradictions here, it is impossible for Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian to even reach a tacit understanding. No matter whether one person goes south, the other person will inevitably stab him in the back. So besides going south, what else do they want?
What to do?
"Going north?" Niu Hong said in surprise.
"There is only one explanation now," Yang Su took out a memorial from his sleeve, "Actually, even if today's incident had not happened, I would have written to His Majesty. Last year, the Turkic snowstorm destroyed Yongfeng Town (today's Hetao
area), plundered Yinzhou (today's Yulin), and another group of soldiers went south to plunder the north of Jinyang. This is why the battle between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian in Pubanjin this winter ended hastily, and there has been no big movement from both sides until now.
s reason."
"Want to attack the Turks?" Niu Hong was startled.
"If we don't fight now, will the Turks who have tasted the sweetness come again in winter?" Yang Su said lightly, "I'm afraid that Chang'an and Yecheng will be directly threatened by then. And one from Jinyang to the north,
One leaves Yinzhou to the north, separated by a natural river, which is not inconsistent. Some people speculate that Yang Jian will at least recover and rebuild Yongfeng Town, which is the only important town in the Hetao. As long as he controls it, he can control the Hetao.
If you have enough war horses, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than trying to rob us from the northwest?"
"Are you afraid that Yu Wenxian will also clear the south of Baideng Mountain?" Niu Hong frowned and breathed a sigh of relief, "The Turks will suffer."
"This is not a good thing," Yang Su poured cold water on Niu Hong directly. "The purpose of fighting the Turks is not so much for revenge, but to build confidence in the country."
Both Niu Hong and Yang Yue understood this. The long-term tug-of-war obviously required Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian to find a doormat to prove their strength and strength.
The Turks of this era have not yet grown to the point of being as powerful as they were in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, so it is still okay to ravage them.
"But..." Yang Yue was a little confused.
But what does this have to do with us? Isn’t it a good thing?
"What can one Turk prove?" Yang Su sneered, "Wei Wu defeated Wuhuan in the north. Look how many people are talking about it now. People are talking more about Zhou Lang and Chibi!"
Yang Yue and Niu Hong fell silent immediately. Then Yang Su waved his hand: "Defeating the Turks only shows that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian can still sit in this position, but if they want to sit there for a long time, they still have to defeat the other enemies."
After a pause, Yang Su smiled and said, "You don't need to say anything more, right?"
Stopping the Turks from looting would only allow them to secure their position, and the remaining enemies would be Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian and Li Xingchen.
Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian can't do anything to each other, so even if they are wary of each other, if they want to prove their ability, they still have to take action against Li Xingchen.
"We don't want to be beaten now, but we have to wait to be beaten." Niu Hong muttered.
"Being beaten?" Yang Su sneered, "That is to say, everything in the country is still being purged this year. As long as it goes smoothly, there is no telling who will be beaten after one year! Don't underestimate the person sitting on the dragon throne.
, from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, he conquered the huge country bit by bit, and how many years did it take?"
Niu Hong suddenly became more motivated: "Okay, your words from Yang Chudao are enough. Brothers, we will leave for the north and wait for orders from His Majesty and your Taiwei Mansion!"
Yang Su smiled slightly: "Thank you." (To be continued)
