After such a cross in the middle, Tang Sufan and others went back to chatting and picked up chopsticks one after another. The atmosphere gradually became lively again.
"The Turks are ambitious and have been eyeing our Central Plains for a long time. Even if Su Fan is like this, in order to dispel their ambitions, we have no choice but to fight..."
Li Shimin took a sip of Qian Jin Zui calmly. Maybe Tian Yuquan drank too much, but Qian Jin Zui had a deeper flavor.
No wonder the Guanyin maids all said that this Qianjin drunkenness is more suitable for appreciation——
No, I'll have to find a way to move the two jars back later.
Tang Sufan waved his hand gently, even in front of a bunch of top military and political figures in the Tang Dynasty, he looked calm and gentle, quite a bit of an expert.
"Well, the so-called borderland is a life-and-death struggle. You invade and we go around. It's just a fight for survival."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and several people still looked at him.
This kind of rare direct statement of right and wrong directly jumps out of the struggle between family and country, and directly analyzes the situation inside and outside the customs from the perspective of survival, which is quite fascinating.
Li Shimin: "How?"
"Why are the Western Regions and Mobei staring at us like blue-eyed wolves? They will invade the Central Plains every few years. Even if they fail to fight, they will still find ways to plunder at the borders of the country?"
Perhaps it was because this group of people were older, so Tang Sufan couldn't help but tap the fingers of his right hand on the table, as if he was having a eloquent discussion with the old man of later generations in the teahouse.
To sublimate topics and turning points of view~
Now all I need is an old teacup filled with tea leaves. Take a sip and spit it out three times before continuing the talk. That will taste right...
"A bunch of ungrateful dogs, uneducated and ambitious!"
Yuchi Gong blurted out with a face as dazed as a black tower.
Seeing the people taking it for granted, Tang Sufan raised his lips slightly.
"Old Li, have you ever thought about why it is so difficult for people inside the Guan to defeat those outside the Guan? In addition to their physical size, the environment in the Mobei Western Region is harsh and the land is barren. In order to survive, they fight against the sky, the earth, and people, and eat the weak and the strong. The social atmosphere based on force is natural——"
"Although this seems unscientific, but for the combat power, whether it is the spirit of not fearing death! Or the strong body! They are definitely an excellent warrior!"
Tang Sufan openly pointed out the advantages of the Turks. Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong and other military generals were naturally familiar with the situation beyond the borders, and they nodded in agreement with their brows.
"With such a custom and social system, once they themselves can no longer survive, they will naturally set their sights on their neighbors who have relatively more food. Just like in the early days of Wagana, the bandits who robbed the wealthy merchants Debut~"
Forehead--
Cheng Yaojin's face turned red and he didn't notice Tang Sufan's fleeting glance.
Even Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gongniu Jinda could not help but be speechless for a moment. After all, they also have a dark history in Wagang.
It’s just that he doesn’t have the brilliance of a certain ordinary man——
Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong simply glanced at Cheng Yaojin with playful eyes. When they arrived at Cheng Yaojin, they almost stared at Cheng Yaojin.
Humph, it’s not all that fun——
Li Shimin still hurriedly took it back: "You can't harm other people just because they are poor. Why should you suffer from such ambition? It is the anger of God and the resentment of people!"
"So, that's the problem!"
Tang Sufan put down the wine glass in his hand, curled his hands and leaned on the table.
He glanced at the table full of court officials.
"So if we can't solve their survival problems or mediate their conflicts, even if we fight them many times, wouldn't they be just drinking poison to quench their thirst, wasting people and hurting money?"
"Old Li, I told you before about how the Turks are doing, although the Turks have clever tricks to defeat them——"
"What about Goryeo? Where about Baekje? Where's Silla? Where's Tubo? When will the fight last and how long will it take?"
Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong's eyes suddenly raised. As Li Shimin's absolute confidant, he naturally knew the series of strategies for dealing with the Turks that Li Shimin had mentioned before.
That grand plan to conquer the country made all the courtiers stunned for a long time. For several days, they were discussing where did His Majesty suddenly come up with these unpredictable plans?
Could it be that an immortal can't show the way?
I didn’t expect that it was given to me by this guy too!
Hiss~~
For a moment, even Qin Qiong was severely shocked.
He has heard all those strategies. It can be said that one step counts for three steps. The so-called method of using troops is to rely on them not to come and rely on me to be ready to wait for them. If you don't rely on them not to attack, rely on me to have something that cannot be attacked...
This kid's talent is so terrifying——
Tang Sufan took a leisurely sip of wine and then ordered the table.
"It's very simple. Development is always the last word. When the so-called national power is strong, those monsters and monsters will naturally stay away. Instead of constantly stacking experience and resources in the border areas, it is better to think about how to increase productivity? How to increase the harvest of the people?"
"It's called a carrot and a big stick. How can you pick up a big stick if you don't have a carrot——"
Tang Sufan seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the 'father-in-law' beside him intentionally or unintentionally, while chatting to Qin Qiong and the others.
"Brother Qin, Brother Li, if nothing unexpected happens... I'm afraid that His Majesty in our palace is feeling angry right now. He is waiting for the spring next year to prepare immediately and have a good game, right?"
"this……"
Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong frowned visibly, this...
It makes it difficult for us...
At this time, when Tang Sufan reached out to pour the wine, Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong's eyes turned to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded secretly, and Qin Qiong understood what he meant.
Then he stroked his beard and said slowly: "Hahaha, I didn't expect you, Su Fan, to know this."
Tang Sufan's eyes obviously darkened, but due to the surge of alcohol, his eyes immediately returned to normal.
He even grabbed the broad beans that went well with the wine and bit them into a crunchy bite.
"Let me tell you, Jieli will naturally have a hard time next year, but how can our Tang Dynasty fare better in the past two years? Droughts, floods, frosts, and locusts are coming one after another. Floods in Hedong and severe drought in Guanzhong will not change next year. After the New Year, do you really have to fight a Turk when you just opened the pot?"
Li Shimin looked stunned. He was the one who said he would be beaten at first, but now he is the one who said he would not be beaten.
If I was beaten, according to your statement, wouldn't I be confused?
Have you become that foolish person who seeks fame and wealth without caring about the people?
Immediately, Li Shimin put down his wine glass and said: "Then, what do you want? Focus on the development of national strength? Just let those Turkic brats run wild at the border?! Isn't it too cowardly?"
If he shows weakness to the Turks, he may be drowned by the saliva of everyone in the world.
"That's right, Mr. Tang, doesn't this allow outsiders to see us clearly!"
Cheng Yaojin also beat his chest the loudest.
If now...
Tang Sufan glanced at it. If he couldn't see anything fishy, he would really be a fool...
"Hey, Su Fan, why don't you talk?"
Cheng Yaojin saw that Tang Sufan stopped talking in the middle of what he said, and he slowly took a sip of wine and urged him.
Tang Sufan slowly calmed down, thinking that he could stop talking.
Then he continued talking about this matter: "Oh, they are so arrogant. Why are they so arrogant?"
