Chapter 576 You are not stupid
"So, Datang's most important opponent today is Tubo."
Li Ji asked someone to get a map, pointed to the southwest and said, "Tubo is bewitching at Wuzhao, and wants to disrupt the southwest of Tang Dynasty, but because of the inconvenient roads and the distance, Lu Dongzan will not invest too much in it." The strength of the army is not worth the loss."
As soon as a famous general opens his mouth, he will know if there is one.
"In the Western Regions, if the Tubo people want to send troops, they can only detour through Congling."
Jia Pingan stood up and took a look, but Cheng Zhijie flew over with a hidden weapon, and he took it, but it was preserved fruit.
Old Cheng, you are still spoiled by your wife like a child!
"Sit down!" Cheng Zhijie said with a cold face, "When the adults talk, the children just listen."
Li Ji smiled and glanced at Jia Pingan, "It's a good thing for young people to be eager to make contributions, but they must be patient." He pointed to Tuyuhun and said, "It is very difficult for Tubo to attack Anxi from Congling. The cost of transportation is too high. Therefore, the best way is to capture Tuyuhun, spy on me in Hexi and Longyou, and cut off the connection between Anxi and Chang'an at any time."
This is Tubo's strategy. Li Ji said it now, as if he saw it with his own eyes decades later.
"The Tubo people detour to Congling, the Tang Dynasty has no fear!"
Cheng Zhijie's finger circled around Congling, and there were four towns in Anxi on the side.
"This road is detoured. Our army is ready to defend, and then the government soldiers will go out to Hexi for reinforcements. The Tubo people are in a dilemma."
Li Ji raised his head, "So the immigration to Anxi cannot be stopped. The more Tang people in Anxi, the more stable it will be."
Liang Jianfang said: "A man in the Tang Dynasty is a warrior with a sword. If there are hundreds of thousands of people, what are you afraid of?"
Everyone nodded, taking it for granted.
Li Ji said: "Today's business..."
He moved his fingers to the west, raised his head, and looked calm, "Do you want to continue to the west?"
Continue playing?
A young general stood up and said: "Young British, you should fight over there. There is Dashi over there, if you defeat Dashi...there is no opponent in this world."
Do you think you are alone in seeking defeat?
Jia Pingan remained silent, listening to these people expressing their opinions.
"Xiao Jia!"
Li Ji finally called his name.
Jia Pingan got up and went over, pointed at Dashi and said, "This is a powerful country."
Dashi is not for the weak.
"Everyone, blind expansion is not a good thing."
When Jia Pingan saw someone sneer, he responded with a sneer.
Brother is in a bad mood, if you beep again, I will clean you up.
The general got up and said: "Goryo is not the opponent of Tang Dynasty. The Turks are still alive, and there is only one Tubo left. However, as long as Tang Dynasty keeps an eye on Tuyuhun, Tubo can do very little. Where can we put such a powerful army? Waste of money and food ?"
He waved his fist and said excitedly: "Datang should take advantage of this opportunity to fight outside until he is invincible."
I want it too!
But not realistic these days!
The general looked at Jia Pingan provocatively.
Are you trying to argue with me?
Brother, your bones were already rotten when you were a keyboard warrior.
Jia Pingan said in a deep voice: "Western Regions can't be controlled, and there are many forces in Tocharo and other places... That area is very complicated, and if you go there, it will be a big food. Even if it is captured, how will you control it in the future? Confinement?"
As soon as he took the case, his eyes widened, "Just to fight for a place of imprisonment?"
"Why can't it be controlled?"
"How to control it?" Jia Pingan wanted to curse, "Those places... To put it simply, I went to Kucha this time. Kucha was conquered by the Tang Dynasty during the reign of the first emperor, but even today, there are still people who want to rebel in Kucha. Still, Datang has garrisons, if there are no garrisons, I bet that if the troops are withdrawn today, someone will be ambitious tomorrow..."
The historical lessons of such things are too profound. For example, the cochinism of later generations dragged Daming overwhelmed and finally gave up.
"Why can't we garrison in Dashi!"
Damn it, I'm thinking about this before it's even written.
"How far is Dashi from Datang?"
Jia Ping'an knew it all too well, "Datang is stationed in Dashi, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how to control it? Once it starts... You know, you can't stop anymore. Datang will either perish in the battle, or keep fighting, stop. Can't stop..."
Once the chariot starts, it will be too late to apply the brakes.
Li Ji and others listened calmly.
What else do you want to say?
Jia Pingan rapped on the map with his fingers, with a questioning look in his eyes.
The general blushed a little, "According to what you said, Datang shouldn't attack?"
This is the period of doubt in Datang's foreign strategy.
How to fight, where to fight...
"Why not fight?" Jia Pingan pointed to Dashi and said: "When Datang fully controls Anxi, the small countries in the Western Regions will be panicked and will lead Tubo and Dashi to fight..."
"You mean... waiting for work at leisure?"
The general understood what Jia Pingan meant, "You are not against the attack, but just want to stabilize the existing ground. Those opponents will take the initiative to attack..."
You finally understand!
Historically, when Tang’s rule in Anxi became more and more stable, those small countries began to panic, and then colluded with Tubo to attack Anxi... This is the rhythm in the future.
"Anxi controls the trade routes, and Datang has benefited from it. If Tubo wants to develop, the only direction is the Western Regions, so Datang and Tubo will have a long war in the Western Regions..."
Jia Ping'an said in his heart: Hundred Years' War!
But I'm here, it won't take a hundred years!
"How far is it from Chang'an to Anxi? How far is it to Dashi?"
Jia Ping’an felt that generals should not only have the ability to fight, but also have a holistic view, “How will the supplies be delivered? How will the reinforcements arrive, and the cost of the journey...Ask the Ministry of Finance, can Datang bear it?”
In this day and age... unless the railroads can be developed, the bigger the country, the more likely it will collapse.
The Mongol Empire was unprecedentedly large, but then it collapsed to the point where it made people lose their minds.
Get a train?
But it's too hard.
Not counting terrain restrictions, steel, steam locomotives... these are a bug for Datang at the moment.
Without decades or hundreds of years of painstaking research, there is no hope for this matter.
If it really comes out...
Jia Pingan felt that a huge empire was in front of him.
"In addition, the big cannibal is not safe."
The Great Food Messenger came to Chang'an only last year, and Jia Ping'an's words puzzled everyone.
"Tell me."
Li Ji's tone was almost partial.
Cheng Zhijie glanced at him for this.
Xu Maogong wanted to cultivate Xiao Jia.
Yes.
Li Jing cultivated him, and he cultivated Xiao Jia... This is how Datang has been passed down.
Warriors are immortal, Tang Dynasty is immortal!
"Dashi is also expanding now." Jia Ping'an felt that it was necessary for him to open a subject called politics and war. "When they feel that they are strong enough, they will find opponents for their army... Once they find a threat, war Inevitable."
"Just like the fights after the founding of the Tang Dynasty?"
Liang Jianfang asked.
Jia Pingan nodded, "The Great Tang established the country, and then destroyed the Turks, and kept fighting until the Great Tang felt safe, and then stopped the chariot."
"well said!"
Su Dingfang praised: "That's exactly what happened in the Tang Dynasty. They kept fighting until the Tang Dynasty felt safe."
"Actually..." Jia Pingan said with a smile: "In many cases, combining vertical and horizontal is also a good method. For example, coercion around the opponent."
This is the method that the big hooligans of later generations are best at, pulling a group of younger brothers to surround the opponent.
Li Ji stood up, "What do you guys think?"
Young people stood up, someone tried to talk, got a stare.
It is considered an exception to allow to observe and express opinions, and it is not their turn to make the final summary.
Liang Jianfang glanced at Jia Pingan, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, "Stable Anxi, be optimistic about Tuyuhun. Give Tubo a slap."
This is the result of today's discussion.
Li Ji nodded, "The old man will go to the palace and report to His Majesty."
The military decided on this strategy, and Li Zhi would carefully consider it and discuss it repeatedly with the prime ministers. Once determined, do not waver.
Jia Pingan walked out of the guard room.
The previous general followed up, "Marquis Wuyang, what is your ambition?"
Jia Pingan looked at the West, "I will not disappoint those people!"
"who?"
"..."
Jia Pingan did not answer.
The so-called Kaiyuan prosperous age was full of dangers. Li Longji and Concubine Yang lived and flew together, feeling very comfortable, and then became a representative figure of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years.
I remember that during Wu Mei’s administration, Tubo sent envoys arrogantly while attacking Liangzhou, asking Datang to evacuate the Western Regions and cede the area east of Suiye...
Li Bai was born in Suiye, that is not a foreign country...but Tang Dynasty!
If Tubo can be defeated, then Datang will be able to deal with the challenge from the West with all its strength. If so, those loyal and brave men who would not bow their knees in the face of an enemy ten times and a hundred times... will have no regrets.
After the Hexi Corridor was cut off by Tubo, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty felt that Anxi was finished and would definitely be destroyed.
When the Anxi envoy arrived in Chang'an, Chang'an was boiling.
It turns out that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who are in a desperate situation are still fighting bravely!
Fighting alone for fifty years!
Just thinking about it, Jia Pingan felt that such a tragedy should not have happened.
If this kind of tragedy is destined to happen...
"Then destroy Tubo first! Eliminate Dashi!"
…
"Your Majesty asked Baiqi to intervene in this matter, just to make the old man and Jia Pingan more harmonious."
Li Yifu convened a meeting of his confidants.
"Minister, Jia Ping'an is the queen's confidant..."
Boss, you made your fortune by supporting the queen yourself.
Li Yifu said indifferently: "He is him, and this old man is old man. This old man is the servant of Zhongshu, leading the prince and the right bastard, what is he?"
Li Yifu is now waiting for the opportunity to come, and then he will be able to cross the natural barrier that countless people can only watch from afar all their lives, and achieve a phase.
The prime minister can sit and discuss with the emperor, but Jia Ping'an is just a young boy.
But this young man gave him a slap, and Zhuangzi was abolished in charge, which was a slap in the face for Li Yifu, who was so popular.
"We will discuss with Yongzhou tomorrow!"
…
"Can Jia Ping'an go to see Li Yifu?"
After Li Ji reported the military's views on the future strategy and left, Li Zhi suddenly thought of this question.
Wang Zhongliang hurriedly asked people to inquire.
Jia Ping'an Street Tour—Leave early!
This allegory has already been circulated in a small area.
After wandering around the street, Jia Pingan slipped back home.
"gave birth!"
As soon as I got home, I happened to meet Aunt Wang to start the game.
This birth was clean and neat, and it was said that it was just about to go to the delivery bed.
Su Ho looked envious, "Husband, next time I'll be as simple as this."
Who cried and swore not to give birth last time?
It will be more than a year before you forget?
Wei Wushuang slapped her across the face, "Hurry up and have a look."
Jia Ping'an couldn't get over, so he waited for news at home.
The two children fell asleep, Ah Fu rolled over slowly, and the two snuggled together, feeling that this was a rare leisure time.
"Wow!"
The boss cried.
Ah Fu didn't move.
Jia Pingan said happily: "Sure enough, he is a good boy, and he can overcome psychological obstacles."
"Wow!"
Children are like this, when someone cries, they cry.
DouDou also started crying.
Whoosh!
Jia Pingan swears, Ah Fu ran faster than when he chased and killed Shen Qiu last time!
"Hold out."
The weather is getting warmer, and Jia Ping'an thinks it's time to let the children bask in the sun.
Two children were carried out, and Jia Pingan held one in each hand.
Hongyan ran back quickly, panting, "Lang...Lang..."
If you mess around again, I will let you go to the house later.
"Lang Jun..."
"But you have fat intestines?"
Hongyan was confused, "No, Mr. Lang, she is a daughter."
Jia Pingan said helplessly: "I have two daughters, how about my cousin?"
Yang Deli's dedication to incense is beyond everyone's imagination.
"Biao Langjun is smiling, and the one who smiles will cry."
Yang family, Yang Deli said affectionately to Aunt Wang: "Don't worry, my husband likes it."
Aunt Wang couldn't help but rejoice, feeling that she had indeed found a wonderful husband.
Turning his head, Yang Deli entered the ancestral hall, knelt down and howled, "Aunt, it's my daughter again!"
I do not want to live!
Yang Deli burst into tears.
Wei Wushuang and Su Ho came to help, and after looking at the child for a while, they asked, "Do you have a name?"
It would be nice for girls these days to have a ranking, such as Aunt Yang, Erniang Yang and so on.
Someone asked Yang Deli, and he was stunned for a long time.
Later, when Wei Wushuang and Su Ho went home, they couldn't help laughing when they entered the backyard.
"What are you laughing at?"
The cousin wanted a son wholeheartedly, and what Jia Pingan was worried about was that if Aunt Wang couldn’t give birth to a son, the cousin would become obsessed and take a concubine.
With his little housekeeping skills, if a concubine is really going to enter the family, it is guaranteed to break up the good family.
"No more."
Su Ho squatted down covering his stomach, holding Jia Pingan with one hand, "Husband, hahahaha!"
"What are you laughing at?" Jia Ping'an said with a straight face, "Be serious."
"Husband, my cousin actually changed Da Ya's nickname."
"The name Da Ya is a bit disrespectful to the child, at least it must have a name. My cousin has made progress in his studies in the past few years, so he must choose some kind of Daiyu or Xiangyun."
Wei Wushuang suddenly trembled.
"Wu Shuang!"
Jia Pingan supported her, and Wei Wushuang burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Even Wei Wushuang laughed like this, cousin, what names did you name your two daughters!
"Da Ya changed her name to Zhaodi."
Su Ho laughed again.
Jia Ping'an put on a wooden face, "Where's the new girl?"
"Brother Pan."
What the hell!
Jia Pingan got angry and went to Yang's house immediately.
"Peace!"
Wang Xueyou looked tangled and guilty, as if it was his fault for giving birth to a girl.
Yang Deli smiled and comforted his mother-in-law Zhao Xianhui.
Da Ya was very happy, "Uncle, my name is Zhaodi!"
"Yeah! Recruiting brother...a good name!"
Immediately, Jia Pingan looked at the baby Pan, and persuaded in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, don't mess around."
"Is it okay with women?"
Yang Deli looked disbelieving.
Jia Pingan patted him on the shoulder, "The seeds are yours, you will reap melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans!"
Yang Deli was at a loss.
After Jia Ping’an returned home, he hugged DouDou and teased him, “Should I be called Brother Lai?”
Su Ho snatched the bag, and said bitterly: "I'll give birth later!"
The second day.
Cheng Da said very seriously: "Marquis Wuyang, you said that you want Baiqi to cooperate with Li Shilang, should we go see him?"
Jia Pingan shook his head, "Li Yifu will naturally speak up when he has something to do."
Cheng Da looked for Ming Jing, "Li Yi's mansion is known as Li Mao, a man with a knife in his smile, let's not go, and later he will file a complaint with His Majesty..."
Ming Jing was also very entangled, so she went to persuade Jia Pingan.
"Put aside the grievances first, and do things well, so as not to be caught by Li Yifu in the wrong place."
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I'll handle this matter, and I'll take responsibility for the mistakes."
I don’t know good people!
Ming Jing snorted coldly, and went back to check the shopping cart.
Cheng Da sighed, and asked Bao Dong, "Why do I feel that Marquis Wuyang has been a little drifting lately?"
Ming Jing just came out, and said coldly: "I think he hasn't been stabbed for a long time."
On the first day, Li Yifu discussed immigration with Yongzhou, but nothing happened.
On the second day, there was still no movement.
Cheng Da couldn't sit still.
Ming Jing couldn't sit still anymore.
Jia Ping'an is still as stable as Mount Tai.
"Quiet."
Cheng Da and Ming Jing muttered too loudly, which annoyed Jia Pingan very much.
"The court has already written about Chang'an, and the people from Li Yi's mansion are all over the place. Let's Baiqi go to protect..."
Cheng Da and Ming Jing are like ants on a hot pot.
It's going to explode!
Jia Pingan felt that the two emperors were not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, "Li Yifu and I are not on good terms!"
"He will take advantage of the opportunity." Ming Jing feels that Jia Pingan underestimated Li Yifu's shamelessness, "He will say we are lazy. If the matter is done, he will say that Baiqi has no credit. If the matter is messed up, he will say that it is Baiqi. wrong."
"Hey! You are not stupid!"
Jia Ping'an was overjoyed, "What a surprise!"
Before Mingjing exploded, Jia Ping'an explained: "Li Yifu just wanted to put Baiqi aside to make meritorious service, and it was exactly as you said. If things go wrong, we want us to take the blame..."
"Actually, we will all be responsible for whether it succeeds or not."
Who is in Li Yifu?
Lee Cat!
You can imagine that a person can be associated with an idiom.
And this idiom is all negative: there is a knife hidden in the smile.
Ming Jing was taken aback, the goods in his mind turned into murderous intent, his eyes showed a fierce light, "You mean... no matter success or failure, he will find a way to stab us?"
is trying to stab me, but if you think Li Mao is trying to stab Baiqi, I have no problem.
"Exactly."
Ming Jing understood, "So, it's safest for us not to get involved."
Jia Ping'an praised: "It seems that I have been training you for the past few years and it has been very effective."
"What do you mean by training?" Ming Jing is very pure and naive.
“It’s just…teaching.”
Ming Jing sat there thinking, and suddenly said: "Then let's not go, and he will also say that Baiqi is lazy."
"I'm thinking that the bad ideas he's holding back at the moment are useless."
After a few days, things gradually became clear.
"Li Yifu ordered people to go to various places in Chang'an to publicize the matter of emigrating to Anxi, but very few responded."
Then the pot was thrown.
"Marquis of Wuyang, the British Duke is looking for you."
Jia Ping'an knew the words had come.
Shang Shusheng, Li Ji carried a horse and danced wildly for a while.
Jia Ping'an praised: "The British public is a good horse."
Li Ji came to a difficult iron bridge, but couldn't get up.
Fortunately, Jia Pingan reacted quickly and rushed over to give him a hand.
If Li Jingye is here, he must say Ah Weng, so hurry up and find more women.
…
Good night!
