    Huang Mingyuan stayed in Chang'an for a while, and just breathed a sigh of relief. Before he was stable, news came from the Western Regions that Yiwu State (now Hami, Xinjiang) killed the Sui envoys, and only thirteen people including envoy Cui Renshu were spared.

    The whole Sui Dynasty was in an uproar immediately after hearing this.

    Not many people really know what Yiwu Country is, but he dared to provoke the Sui Dynasty, which is intolerable.

    In fact, Yiwu Country is really nothing. It is a place that the Sui Dynasty did not like at all but had to look at.  As one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, Yiwu State has always been quite powerful in the Western Regions because it is located on the strategic route of the Silk Road.  And because it is close to the Great Sui Dynasty and is located at the gateway from the Great Sui Dynasty to the west into the Western Regions, it is quite wary of the Great Sui Dynasty.

    After Yang Guang's northern tour, in order to open up the Western Regions and regain the glory of the Han Dynasty, he appointed Pei Ju as the minister with full power, stationed in Zhangye (today's Zhangye, Gansu), and traveled between Wuwei and Zhangye to preside over contacts and commercial transportation matters with the Western Regions.  , and also in charge of trade with Western countries.

    Pei Ju once visited Hu Shang and asked about the mountains, rivers, geography and customs of the forty-four countries in the Western Regions, as well as the customs, clothing and appearance of the kings and people, and compiled three volumes of "Illustrated Records of the Western Regions".  The book records the conditions of the forty-four countries visited. In addition, it also produced a map of the Western Regions, which includes all important locations in the Western Regions, starting from Xiqing Mountain and stretching nearly 20,000 miles in length and breadth.

    In order to manage the Western Regions, Pei Ju proposed three important routes to Yang Guang, taking Dunhuang as the general starting point and heading west directly to Persia, Daqin and other places.  Among them, Dunhuang is the throat from the mainland to the Western Regions, while Yiwu (now Hami County, Xinjiang), Gaochang (now Turpan, Xinjiang), and Shanshan (southwest of Lop Nur, Xinjiang) are the starting points of three avenues respectively.  The first of the three roads is the North Road, which is on Tianshan North Road and runs from Yiwu to Xihai via Pulehai and Tiele. The second is the Middle Road, which is the north road of Tianshan South Road and runs from Gaochang, Yanqi (in present-day Xinjiang), Qiuci  (Today's Kuqa, Xinjiang) and other places to the West Sea; the third is the South Road, that is, the south road of Tianshan South Road, from Shanshan, Khotan (today's Hotan, Xinjiang), Zhujubo and other places to the West Sea.

    Of the three roads, the North Road has the least desert and is connected by oases. It is the most suitable route for large-scale attacks.

    Among them, Yiwu was the key to the Sui Dynasty connecting Gaochang, so controlling Yiwu became the first step for the Sui Dynasty to control the Western Regions.

    However, Yiwu King Shi Gao was also wary of the Sui forces entering the Western Regions.  Although this incident was not Shi Gao's order to intercept and kill the Sui envoys, but his subordinates who made their own decisions, in the final analysis, this premeditated interception was actually Yiwu's test of the Sui Dynasty.

    After Pei Ju presented the map of the Western Regions, Yang Guang wanted to launch troops in the Western Regions, but was dissuaded by Pei Ju.

    Pei Ju said: "With the majesty of the country and the bravery of the soldiers, it is easy to cross the Si River and climb the Kunlun Mountains. However, at present, the Western Turks and Tuyuhun separately control the Qiang and Hu kingdoms, and they are blocked, so the tribute from the countries in the Western Regions is blocked.  . Now, because the merchants have secretly sent sincere money, they are eager to lead the people, and they are willing to become the subjects of the Sui Dynasty. If you obey and care for them, they will be safe and sound. At present, the emperor only needs to send envoys, and there is no need to resort to war, and all the Tibetan tribes can follow them.  , Tuyuhun and Western Turks can also be destroyed. Hun Yirong and Xia are here!"

    Yang Guang was very happy after hearing this and gave Pei Ju 500 pieces of silk. He asked Pei Ju to go to the imperial seat every day and personally inquire about the situation in the Western Regions.

    Pei Ju also knew very well what Yang Guang wanted to hear, so he said: "There are many treasures in the Western Region, and Tuyuhun can easily be annexed."

    With Pei Ju¡¯s support, Yang Guang¡¯s ambitions grew stronger.  So Yang Guang issued an edict, saying that he admired the achievements of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, and sincerely wanted to open up the Western Regions.

    The matter of opening up the Western Regions naturally fell on Pei Ju.  Yang Guang entrusted the planning and handling of the affairs of the barbarians to Pei Ju, and sent Pei Ju to Zhangye to attract the barbarians from various countries in the Western Regions, provide them with benefits, and persuade them to join the court.

    And the barbarians from the Western Regions have constant exchanges.  In order to show the strength of China, Yang Guang received the barbarians from the Western Regions with great luxury.  The counties and counties they passed through were too busy to entertain and send off, spending tens of thousands of dollars.

    If you want to open up the Western Region, you cannot bypass the Western Turks, the overlord of the Western Region.

    At this time, the Western Turks had already been in constant disputes and fell into internal strife.

    In the seventh year of Emperor Kaihuang's founding, the Western Turkic Apo Khan Daluo was captured by the Yehu Khan Chuluohou. The Turks established the son of Yangsu Tele as their Khan, Nili Khan.  Nili's wife, Xiang, was from "Chinese" and gave birth to a son, Daman.

    Nili Khan betrayed Bujia Khan after Bujia Khan defeated the Sui Dynasty for the second time, and named himself the Western Turkic Khan. Later, he was defeated by the Tiele tribe in the third year of Renshou and died. His son Ashnada  Man succeeded to the throne and was known as Nipu Chuluo Khan.  And the Xiang family remarried Nili Khan's younger brother Po Shitele.

    As early as the 20th year of the founding of the emperor, Bashtel and the Xiang family went to the Sui Dynasty for pilgrimage. Due to the civil strife in the Turks, they stayed in Honglu Temple in the capital.  After the defeat of Datou Khan,Nipu Chuluo Khan became the supreme ruler of the Western Turks.  Most of Nipu Chuluo Khan's tribes lived in the old land of Wusun Kingdom. They governed the country unethically and many of their subjects were rebellious.

    In the first year of Daye, Nichuchuluo Khan sent troops to attack the Tiele tribes in the Western Regions. He imposed heavy taxes on the Tiele people's property and confiscated their property. He also suspected that there was something wrong with the Xue Yantuo tribe, so he gathered hundreds of tribal chiefs together.  Kill.  Therefore, all tribes in Tiele rose up against Chuluo, and established Qilifa Qijin Qibi Geling as the Yiwu Zhenmohe khan, and Jianya Tanhanshanbei; and the Xue Yantuo tribe made Qijinzi Ye Yishubo the little khan.  .  They fought with Nichuluo Khan and defeated Nipuchuluo Khan many times.  Qibi Geleng was a brave and brave man who won the hearts of the Tiele tribe. The neighboring countries were afraid of him. Yiwu, Gaochang, Yanqi and other countries all relied on Mohe Khan.

    At this time, the grandson of Bujia Khan and the son of Duliu, Shegui Khan, also began to counterattack and plan to regain the position of the Great Khan of the Western Turks.  Compared with the Shekui Khan who is the most proficient in fighting in the Western Turks, the Nichuluo Khan who is mediocre in nature is no match.  Under the attack of Qibi Geling and Shekui Khan, the rule of Nipu Chuluo Khan was in danger.

    Although Pei Ju is a bit slippery, his ability is indeed first-rate.  When he was in Zhangye, he inquired about the situation in the Western Regions. At this time, the turmoil in the Western Regions was clearly known.

    Since Yang Guang was determined to open up the Western Regions and rebuild the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, Pei Ju suggested that Yang Guang take advantage of the civil strife in the Western Turks to enter the Western Regions.  Nipu Chuluo Khan was now isolated and helpless. If the imperial court tried to persuade him and used hard and soft tactics, the desperate Nipu Chuluo Khan would surely fall to the Sui Dynasty.

    When the time comes, the Sui Dynasty will take the opportunity to enter the Western Regions. With a well-known army and the help of Nichuluo Khan, they will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions.

    Yang Guangda was very happy and agreed to it.

    Of course, it would be impossible to go to the Western Turks directly and ask Nichuluo Khan to submit to the Sui Dynasty.  After all, Nipu Chuluo Khan is the leader of a country, and he also wants to save face. Moreover, he is not really at the end of his rope, and may endanger the Sui Dynasty because of this.

    At this time, Pei Ju suggested to Yang Guang that he heard that Nipu Chuluo Khan in the Western Turks missed his mother, so he could use this as an excuse to send people to the Western Turks.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
