"Owning land means owning wealth. This is true!" Tang Jian took another sip of tea, looked up at Xiao Han and said slowly, but soon, he changed the subject:
"But! For the Turkic Khan, this is undoubtedly not cost-effective! Because the wealth in these lands will not only belong to him!"
"Ah?" Xiao Han was surprised, his eyes full of confusion: "What does this mean? Why am I a little confused..."
Tang Jian smiled, tapped the table with his fingers and said to Xiao Han: "Perhaps what I said is a bit general, but first of all you have to understand one thing! The Turks are not a whole like us!
Because of the different terrain and customs of the grasslands, their Turkic interior is composed of many tribes! And their khan, the Ashina royal family, does not have as strong control over other clans as imagined!
Let them go south to invade our land and plunder our wealth. The Turkic Khans can indeed do it! Because this has great appeal to all Turks! But it would be impossible to collect all the things they robbed, even if Chuluo Khan was resurrected! "
"Oh~ So, you persuaded the envoy that you should give all these treasures to Jieli Khan just like paying rent, so that he can just sit back and collect his achievements?!"
When Xiao Han heard this, it finally dawned on him! He slapped his thigh hard and said the rest of Tang Jian's words first!
yes! It was his mind that fell into a misunderstanding from the beginning!
You must know that there is only one Genghis Khan in this world! Not all prairie people riding horses can be like him: When I see it, I will conquer it!
For the current Turkic Khan, the enjoyment of stability seems to be more attractive than the tiring battle!
To him, the wealth of the Central Plains is no different than an attractive piece of pie!
It just depends on whether you want to join forces with others to grab it and get a piece of it?
Or should I just let someone bring it over and swallow it all?
Needless to say, the greedy Turkic Khan will definitely choose the latter! After all, you don’t need to work hard, and you can enjoy countless treasures on your own! For him who is greedy for enjoyment, why not do it! ?
But here, Tang Jian looked at Xiao Han's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and felt relieved.
Sure enough, children can be taught!
"So, we don't have to face the Turks' 500,000-strong army?"
Xiao Han, who was excitedly spinning around on the ground and mumbling to himself, suddenly thought of another question, and immediately felt as if he was poured over by a basin of cold water: "That's not right, isn't it true that our treasury can starve rats to death?" ? What shall we use to fill the bellies of those hungry wolves?"
"You... are so stupid! We don't have any property or anything, but others do! Wang Shichong, Fu Gongyou, and Li Zitong in the east! They occupy the most prosperous place, we can go and get it!"
"Go and get it? But... can they give it to us?"
Xiao Han opened his eyes wide and asked weakly.
He always felt that his mind seemed to be unable to catch up with Tang Jian's thoughts today! Just want it? Just give me empty words and white teeth? Isn't that stupider than the Turks?
"you……"
Angry at Xiao Han's words, Tang Jian rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot. He finally drank a few cups of tea and finally regained his composure.
"Shuzi is not enough to make a plan! Forget it! I came here today to tell you clearly that you should be prepared for life! Wait until the next year to march eastward with the army again!"
After leaving these words angrily, Tang Jian didn't even bother to look at Xiao Han again. He pushed the door open and left, leaving Xiao Han alone in the study room in a daze.
"Advance eastward with the army? March eastward? Luoyang! Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande? Could it be that this day is coming so soon?"
Thinking about the last battle in history that determined the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Han was so excited that his whole body trembled. This was the last battle for the Tang Dynasty to conquer the world! I will also leave a faint shadow on this event that has taken up so much writing in history.
At this time, outside the house, Xiaodong carefully leaned on the door frame and looked at the hysterical Xiao Han inside, secretly wondering: Isn't the Marquis rarely like this recently? Why are you sick again today?
Fortunately, Xiao Han didn't sink in for too long this time. Soon, he was woken up by the cold wind blowing in from outside the door.
It's useless to think about it now. Anyway, I originally planned to participate. I'll just leave it to fate! At most, I just keep following Cheng Yaojin. Anyway, this guy has always been blessed with good luck, so we can also benefit from it!
After thinking about this clearly, Xiao Han felt completely relaxed and sneezed. He turned around and saw Xiaodong who was still pretending to be a goose outside the door, and immediately became angry.
"Come in and close the door! It's such a cold day, do you want me to freeze to death?"
"Huh? Oh!"
Xiaodong was a little stunned by Xiao Hanhan's unexpected drink. When he came to his senses, he quickly slipped into the room, nodded and bowed and said: "Master Marquis, didn't you say you were going to Miss Xue's house today? It's almost noon. If you don't If you go, it’s too late!”
"Going to Xue Pan's house? I'm going! I almost forgot! Let's go, let's hurry up!"
After being reminded by Xiaodong, Xiao Han, who originally wanted to educate him, suddenly remembered that such a thing happened. He patted his head in annoyance and dragged Xiaodong out without caring about the cold weather.
Chang'an is lively during the Chinese New Year, especially today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, when it's time to visit relatives and friends!
The extremely wide Zhuque Street is full of people and cars and horses! There are actually signs of traffic jams in later generations.
As soon as Xiao Han came out of the market in a carriage, he started to move forward with difficulty with the flow of people. Behind him, followed closely by Xiao Ji, was a cart with piles of gifts on it. The son-in-law was going to his mother-in-law's house. There are too few gifts and I can’t get rid of them...
"When will this arrive?"
After walking a few steps, the carriage stopped again!
Xiao Han couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he ran out and stood on the shaft of the carriage, looking into the distance.
Good guy, the darkness in front of you is full of people! Who said there are few people in this era? Come on, come on, lie down on the ground and try it, and I’ll step on it and turn it into a photo for you!
The car can't move, there are no traffic police at this time, and there is no rule to drive on the right! So once the blockage comes, it will definitely not be solved in a short while!
At this time, what was blocking Xiao Han's carriage was a donkey cart. Looking at Xiao Han's carriage decoration, the old man in the car knew that the identity of the person opposite was unusual, but now the front, back, left and right were tightly packed, just wanting to There is no way to retreat.
The old man was nervous and sweating on his head. He didn't notice that his donkey pulling the cart became interested in Xiao Han's horse.
On the street, a horse and a donkey stared at each other for a long time. The donkey finally stretched out its long tongue and licked the horse, which was a head taller than it...
"hiss……"
"Ang...ang..."
The neighing of horses and the braying of donkeys suddenly resounded throughout half of Zhuque Street. Before Xiao Han could take precautions, the horse and the donkey started fighting! You kicked me, I kicked you with my hoof, I was so happy...
"Hey... don't kick! Oh, that old man, watch your donkey!"
"Little brother, I also want to keep an eye on it, but this donkey's temper..."
"Ouch... Who did I offend today? I got slapped for no reason, and all the eggs in my bag were broken. I'll pay you for it!"
