The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

In the third year of Daye, Qimin Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate went south to pay homage to Yang Guang and presented a memorial to the emperor, asking him to "lead the tribes to change their clothes like the Chinese."

In the fourth year of Daye, the Western Turks presented Ferghana horses to Yang Guang and expressed their submission.

In the fifth year of Daye, Qimin Khan passed away and his son Ashina Duojishi succeeded him and was named Shibi.

It was Shibi Khan who besieged Yang Guang in Yanmen County.

At the beginning of his reign, Shibi Khan was not as arrogant as he is now. He had to report to the Sui court and obtain Yang Guang's approval before he could marry Princess Yicheng, a member of the Sui royal family, according to Turkic customs.

After Princess Yicheng was remarried by Shibi Khan, she continued to serve as the Khaganate of the Turkic Khanate, which means "Queen" in Chinese.

In the Turkic Empire, Qahtan had the authority to dispatch troops.

Shibi Khan had been in power for six years, and the Turkic Khanate had entered its heyday. Historians of later generations commented that "the strength of the Rongdi people was unprecedented."

……

What have you been doing in these six years, Yang Guang?

You are wasting the people's energy on large-scale construction projects;

Did you build the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south or for pleasure? Why did you build the huge dragon boats that cost so much?

You fail to reward meritorious service, punish innocent people, and frame court officials at will;

You are taking the lead in condoning corruption. Wherever you go, officials who offer abundant food and supplies are promoted, and those who fail to provide food and supplies are punished or even put to death, which intensifies the exploitation of the people by local officials.

You are still...conquering Goryeo three times.

Should we attack Goryeo? Every emperor would want to attack. Timing! How important is timing?

You have mobilized over a million soldiers and two million civilians, exhausted the young and strong labor force in the country, but you can say that you have achieved nothing. The third expedition finally made some progress, but when Goryeo asked for peace, you felt that you had saved your face and returned to the court.

Is war a joke?

As for the imperial examination that was touted by later generations, forget it.

During the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examinations, namely the scholar category, the Mingjing category and the Jinshi category, were conducted four or five times, and a total of thirteen scholars were selected.

Those who passed the exams were all talented people, such as the three Du brothers, Kong Yingda and other well-educated people, and Fang Xuanling, Xu Jingzong and other talented people.

Unfortunately, none of them was valued by Yang Guang.

The positions granted to the scholars were either sinecures or low-ranking official posts, and they could not even hope to become reserve cadres.

Scholars such as Fang Xuanling were appointed as county lieutenants. This may also be because Fang Xuanling was born into an official family, the Qinghe Fang family.

.

Yang Guang, you inherited a prosperous dynasty with 890 million households.

After you, the Tang Dynasty was established, and in the first year of Wude, it was recorded that there were 180 million households.

The Central Plains was depopulated and devastated.

The one who is fond of internal affairs and distances himself from propriety is called Yang; the one who abandons propriety and distances himself from the masses is called Yang; the one who goes against heaven and oppresses the people is called Yang; the one who is fond of great and dangerous politics is called Yang; the one who is unkind and lacks righteousness is called Yang; the one who loses his virtue and ruins the country is called Yang.

Every detail was misunderstood.

.

Aunt Fang had never seen such a master.

In the fifteen years in the Western Regions, she endured and endured every day, but the young lady's eyes were bright and she was lively. She was like a ball of flame, forcibly burying her vitality with thick dust.

Instead of being like this, feeling completely exhausted.

Aunt Fang didn’t know how to describe it. She was at a loss: “My dear, if…if you are impatient to escort these people, then, then…”

Then let's just go?

Anyway, no one can stop the young lady.

Aunt Fang spoke with a Guanzhong accent, and some of the dozen men nearby could obviously understand her. After the translation, more than a dozen men looked distressed.

But no one dared to force Xi Mingming to do it.

Without him.

They were frightened by Xi Mingming's force.

.

Xi Mingming shook his head at Aunt Fang.

It has nothing to do with this group of refugees who were brutally abducted by the Turks.

She just didn't have confidence. The world was in chaos, with wars everywhere. People were displaced, farmland was barren, and starving people were everywhere.

What could she do?

What was the point of the system bringing her into this world?

No matter how strong a person's personal martial arts are, it will be of no benefit to the general trend of the world.

Having experienced modern civilization, Xi Mingming never overestimated her endurance. She did not think she could endure the tragic social conditions at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

.

During the "Siege of Yanmen", Shibi Khan's arrows shot in front of Yang Guang.

What did Yang Guang do?

He hugged his son, Prince Zhao Yang Gao, and cried bitterly.

Fortunately, Yang Guang was particular about show, so he brought along ministers such as Su Wei, Xiao Yu, Yu Shiji, and Fan Zigai on his northern tour.

The minister offered timely advice:

First, he promised not to use military force against Goryeo and announced it to the world;

Secondly, he personally toured the city, announced generous rewards, and encouraged the military and civilians to resist the Turks;

Third, he asked Princess Yicheng for help and sent a secret report in the name of Kehe Dun that there was a change in the Turkic interior;

Finally, he issued an edict to recruit soldiers from all over the country to serve the king.

The "Siege of Yanmen" can barely be regarded as the last trace of Yang Guang's imperial demeanor.

In times of crisis, Yang Guang said, "Strive to defeat the enemy, and if you can survive, do not worry about wealth and honor while marching. I will not let the officials destroy your merits with their swords and pens."

He also issued an order that "those who have made contributions in defending the city will be demoted to the sixth rank without official rank and given gifts of 100 pieces; those who are officials will receive corresponding increases."

Once the Yanmen crisis is resolved, Yang Guang, who will return to the eastern capital Luoyang, will use facts to give a slap in the face to the soldiers and civilians who still have hope in him.

Fan Zigai believed that the emperor should not lose his credibility with the people. Yang Guang asked, "Do you want to win people's hearts with this?"

Due to Yang Guang's tyranny, all the civil and military officials in the court were silent.

Well, this should be happening.

=====

Xi Mingming had no interest in going to see Yang Guang. By the time she led her men back, Shibi Khan would have already retreated.

She was worried about the thousand people following her.

After hearing Aunt Fang’s declaration “I will follow the young lady from now on”, this group of people also decided to follow her. Don’t you think it’s scary?

……

Fortunately, some Turkic soldiers fled in all directions, and the four leaders were all captured.

These four men are very good at martial arts, especially archery. It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary people.

Xi Mingming kicked one of them and asked in Turkish: "What did you say you were before? The Eighteen Cavalrymen of the Northern Frontier?"

The man who was kicked was a burly man with braided hair, wearing a narrow-sleeved round-necked robe and long boots. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary Turk.

He looked at Xi Mingming and sneered.

He was already captured, but he still looked arrogant: "The four of us are the Eighteen Cavalrymen of the Northern Frontier, personally instructed by the Turkic Martial Master Bi Xuan. No matter how good your martial arts are, provoking the Martial Master on the grassland is courting death. The horse thief Ba Fenghan who is now running around is a lesson for you."

Maybe Yang Guang gave them supreme confidence.

As long as that Wu Zun is still a carbon-based creature, Xi Mingming has nothing to fear.

She scratched her cheek, "I don't know if that Martial Lord can kill me, and I've never heard of any horse thieves. But if I want you four to die, it will be in the blink of an eye."

Now that we are prisoners, is it really a good idea to be unable to understand the situation?

Xi Mingming now walks on her legs, with the sick refugee riding on her big black horse.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm only sealing your true energy at the moment. If you don't behave, I'll destroy your Dantian directly."

Xi Mingming was calm and composed. "Don't worry, I'm very experienced. I once destroyed the martial arts of more than a hundred people in one breath."

If these four people had not followed Shibi Khan south, they would have immediately known who she was after Xi Mingming said this.

In the martial arts world of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, Xi Mingming is now far more famous than Bi Xuan.

The 'Path of Destroying Love' is a crippling demon!

The Turkic man had a face as cool as the breeze blowing over the hills, and I was arrogant, what can you do about it.

This shows that they are extremely confident in the strength of East Turkestan.

Xi Mingming was helpless. "I've read a story before. In it, a hero was murdered by someone. His bones at the joints were crushed. He became paralyzed and his martial arts skills were all gone. But... he was able to survive."

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, medical science should have been very backward, and the so-called Black Jade Intermittent Ointment should not have been able to be produced.

The faces of the four tied-up Turks changed drastically.

Xi Mingming said slowly, "As I said before, I am very skilled. The human body has 206 bones and 78 clearly named joints."

She smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and her eyes were not. "...I am very familiar with this."

No one will die anyway.

Now not only the Turks, but also a group of people from the Central Plains who had vowed to follow Xi Mingming to death could not help but show horror on their faces.

The Turkic man who was kicked just now could no longer bear it, "What do you want to ask?"

……

"Will Shibi Khan be willing to pay to redeem you?"
