Yang Jian is very satisfied with Huang Mingyuan's attitude. As a minister, you have to solve problems for the Emperor. If you always make problems for the Emperor, what use will the Emperor have for you?
Huang Mingyuan is at least an outstanding minister and a person who can do things.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian's thoughts calmed down. Although the meeting with Huang Mingyuan today was a report from a high-ranking official, not every high-ranking official had the opportunity to meet the emperor. The focus today is still to talk about the Northern Expedition to the Turks. After all, this is the most important reason for the turmoil this time. And Yang Jian really wanted to know from Huang Mingyuan how possible the Northern Expedition against the Turks was.
Yang Jian did not follow Huang Mingyuan, but asked directly: "Huang Qing, how confident are you in the Sui Dynasty's Northern Expedition against the Turks?"
"In fact, if it were possible, why wouldn't Yang Jian be willing to do the Northern Expedition? Yang Jian was not a conservative monarch, otherwise he would not have ordered Yang Liang and Gao Jiong to attack Goryeo with an army of 300,000 land and water troops in the 18th year of the founding of the Emperor.
It¡¯s just that the army is thousands of miles north of the grassland. If something happens to it, hundreds of thousands of troops will be lost and the country will be humiliated by losing its troops. The risk is even unbearable by Yang Jian. In the battle of Goryeo, the supply of supplies was not continued, the army was short of food, and the enemy returned again due to epidemics. Eighty-nine people died, but Yang Jian could not recover for several years.
This time Yang Jian was really worried that he would be defeated again. After all, with Gao Jiong's ability, he could not defeat Goryeo, let alone others.
??That is, only when a top star like Huang Mingyuan is on the list, Yang Jian will consider it. If it were someone else, Yang Jian would have been spat in the face.
As soon as Yang Jian's words came out of his mouth, Huang Mingyuan immediately became energetic. He knows whether the preparations of more than two years will be possible today. Yang Jian is still dim and old, but his basic judgment has not been lost. If he couldn't give him a satisfactory explanation, even if it was a political struggle, Yang Jian would not make fun of the national destiny of the entire Sui Dynasty.
Huang Mingyuan stepped forward in the palace and took out a large map from his arms.
"Sage, Mingyuan brought a map of the situation in the North. You will understand it as soon as I tell you."
Yang Jian asked Liu De to take a screen and hang this picture on it. Yang Jian saw that it was densely marked with various garrisons, terrain, mountains, and rivers, and he understood that Huang Mingyuan had done enough homework for this matter.
Huang Mingyuan pointed at the map and said: "Sage, please look at it. It starts from the northwest of Fengzhou and goes from Yuequan to the north through Princess City, Meijian City, Talosi Mountain, Chiya, Yanbo, Hunyi River, Lujin Mountain, and Muzhuling. About two thousand miles to the Turkic Yazhang.
Now the entire grassland is mainly divided into four. Among them, the most powerful one is still the East Turkic Bujia Khan. His tribe controls Jinshan in the west, Duluo River in the east, and Soling River (Selenge River) in the north. ), south to the Gobi area. After Bujia Khan defeated the champion Hou Shan, he fled back to the grassland. After two years of dormancy, he defeated the Turkic Ajisi Khan and finally recaptured the Turkic tooth tent. However, the entire Yazhang had been in civil war for more than a year, and it was when its power was at its weakest. This is also one of the most important reasons why I think sending troops this year.
The second largest force is the alliance of Tiele tribes, in addition to the Tiele and Tongluo tribes, headed by the Bayagu tribe, which controls the entire Tiele hometown and continues to encroach on the original Turkic grasslands. There are about a dozen Tiele tribes, and they originally attacked each other separately, but now the Bayagu tribe is in the leading position, but the entire alliance is not stable, and it can be the biggest help for me to send troops to the grassland.
The third largest force is the Tongluo tribe among the Tiele tribes, which controls parts of the area east of Langjuxu Mountain, north of Gonglu River, and a vast area south of Gonglu River up to Qikou. The Tongluo Ministry carried out reforms, centralized power, and developed its strength rapidly. It will be a serious problem for the grassland in the future.
The last one is the Monan tribes. Because Awusi surrendered, basically all of them joined the Qimin tribe, and a small number of them joined the Yiran tribe, but their strength was far apart. If our army goes north, Qimin Khan and Yiranbu can help the two groups. "
Yang Jian nodded after hearing this, and Huang Mingyuan basically explained the situation in the entire grassland clearly. Because of his decades-long relationship with the Turks, Yang Jian was quite familiar with tribes such as the Turks and Tiele, and he was even more aware of the relationship between the Turks and the Tiele people. In Yang Jian's mind, Tiele was torn apart and was not a cause for concern. The focus was still on defeating the Turks.
As for the Tongluo tribe, Yang insisted on reservations and should eliminate it, but there was no need to be too nervous. If the Turks can be successfully eliminated, the Tongluo tribe can be used to keep Qimin Khan in check and maintain the political balance of the entire grassland.
At this time, Yang Jian asked again: "Bujia Khan is the great khan shared by the two Turks after all. Although the East Turks are weak, they have been running the West Turks for many years. If the two Turks are really defeated and the two Turks join forces to fight, this battle will The result will not be that clear."
"Eastern and Western Turks are not independent of each other, and one cannot be considered separately. However, Yang Jian is not familiar with Western Turks.Extreme situation.
Huang Mingyuan said: "Sage, although the Western Turks are still there, they are no longer the Western Turks of Bujia Khan. Originally, the successor of the Western Turks should be Du Liuyehu, but he has died in Guanzhong, and the remaining tribe has his son She. At the same time, Nili Xiao Khan, the successor of the original Apo Khan, rose up and betrayed Bujia Khan. His tribe controlled the area from the west of Jinshan to the Western Turkic Court, which was considered to be isolated from Bujia Khan. Khan¡¯s connection with Western Turks.
Now the entire Turkic strength of Bujia Khan's lineage is leaderless, civil war breaks out, and they attack each other. In order to seize the Western Turks, Nili Khan has long neglected the Eastern Turks.
At the same time, the Tiele tribes in the entire Western Region also resisted the Turks under the leadership of the Xueyantuo tribe and the Qibi tribe. The entire Western Turks were in chaos. It would take some time to determine the winner. "
Yang Jian nodded, very satisfied with this. No matter what, at least these things showed that Huang Mingyuan had put his heart into it and was not just making up nonsense.
However, Yang Jian still hopes to maximize the success rate of the Northern Expedition. After all, it is a battle of poor national strength.
Yang Jian asked hesitantly: "Based on this alone, even though it is only against Bujia Khan, after all, the Turks have controlled the grassland for fifty years and have accumulated great power. Our Sui soldiers are outnumbered and unable to support them." Being too small to win is also a dilemma.¡±
When the emperor is in trouble, he will have his ministers to do their duty.
How Huang Mingyuan can stand out among the many candidates for the Northern Expedition coach is now.
Huang Mingyuan immediately knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "I, Huang Mingyuan, are willing to relieve the saint's worries and go north to the grassland to pacify the Turks. Although there are many barbarians in the grassland, after several years of civil war and snow disasters, they are already destitute of people and horses, and the people's hearts are boiling. I am going north this time. On the grassland, we do not need to lead thousands of troops. We only need the sage to give me 50,000 cavalry and 300,000 stones of grain and grass. I will take Qimin, Yiran and other tribes as the vanguard, and then contact Tiele tribes to attack the Turks' tents directly. Capture the Turkic Khan in front of the emperor's steps."
