After Li Tuman left, only Yang Dong's henchmen were left in the palace.

Yang Gongren arched his hand and said: "This year, my Great Sui Xiongshi went south, borrowed the hand of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and got the vast land centered on Henan County, Wang Shichong was destroyed by the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, Dou Jiande and Xiao Milling surrendered, there are only Li Yuan, Li Mi, Lin Shihong, Meng Haigong, and Feng Ang who is free, according to this development momentum, we may be able to unify the world next year." ”

"Congratulations to the Holy One." Everyone laughed, this year is indeed a big harvest year.

"I know that the focus of next year is inside, and it doesn't matter if the countries outside the territory can let go." Yang Tong nodded, when he reached his current status, he naturally couldn't be emotional, not to mention whether what Li Tuman said was true or false, even if it was true, could he catch up with the soldiers of the Great Sui for Zhangxiong? Definitely not.

If the Great Sui is complete, it naturally doesn't matter, everyone will only think that it is to expand the territory, the key is that the Great Sui's own ass has not been wiped dry, if he goes to help Zhangxiong, the civil and military officials, the common people and soldiers will feel cold, and feel that he Yang Tong is for a woman, and he does not hesitate to take the lives of countless Great Sui generals.

"I understand what Wei Fushu means, it is nothing more than to make a name for himself, take advantage of the situation to march into Zhangxiong, and incorporate it into the territory of the Great Sui. But the reality is that we can't send troops to help outsiders fight. Yang Tong looked at Wei Yunqi.

"Shengshang, the minister means to let Zhang-zhung join the Silk Road Alliance, as long as Zhang-zhung becomes a member of the Silk Road Alliance, if King Zhang-zhung is threatened by opponents, he can ask the coalition to send troops to help him quell the rebellion. This is one of the general principles of the Silk Road Alliance, and when it comes to them, they also need the help of the coalition forces, and if they oppose it, it will also cut off their future support. ”

"That's what the minister means!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said, "The Silk Road Alliance is the most powerful weapon for my Great Sui to control all countries, on this basis, we can use all means to participate in the internal affairs of various countries, let them have endless internal strife, step by step towards weakness, so that the weak have to rely on my Great Sui, if we really want to do this step, it is enough for my Great Sui forces to infiltrate the military and political affairs of various countries, if anyone is disobedient, support an obedient person, launch a coup d'état, and change a king." ”

"This can be had!" Yang Tong laughed!

In the previous life, the United States pursued this kind of policy, and played this set quite smoothly, they firmly controlled the politics, military, and finance of small countries, and if they wanted you to live, they would live, and if they wanted you to die, they would die, and many countries in Europe, the United States, and Asia had to take the lead of the old United States and choose their own initiative, and if anyone did not obey, they would use the name of the alliance to sanction and defeat them. For a large country of its size, he united with the small countries under his control, surrounded geographically, implemented economic and border suppression, constantly weakened the opponent's national strength, and made his army exhausted.

Fang Xuanling continued: "It's not just Zhangxiong, the minister suggested that Tuyuhun, Daughter Country, and Bolu should also be included in the Silk Road Alliance system. If any country is violated, the Silk Road Alliance has the right and the name to intervene with troops. At the same time, he tried to fight with the nobles who rebelled against the rule of Tibet, such as Subi, Vassal, and Jialiangyi, and supported them in their rebellion against Langri Zampu, so as to continue the internal and external troubles of Tibet. ”

If you let it go, sooner or later it will become a strong enemy in the southwest of the Great Sui, and now you can't kill you, but you must also be nailed to that one acre and three points of land, and wait until the unification of the Great Sui to clean up, and the resistance will be much smaller.

"Holy!" Kong Yingda didn't agree with Fang Xuanling's words, and arched his hand and said: "Tubo is just a small country, even if it turns against me in the future, it will be just a disease of scabies, is it necessary to pay so much attention to it?" ”

He was a scholar specializing in teaching, and he didn't know much about the situation in Tibet, so he felt that everyone was making a big fuss.

"That's a mistake!" Yang Tong shook his head and said, "Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days." It is impossible for any dynasty to be strong all the time, there will always be times when natural and man-made disasters cause it to be weak internally, and small countries cannot be weak forever. Let's take the Huns as an example, Huo Qu attacked Hu Qianli and sealed the wolf Juxu, Dou Xian broke the Huns and Le Shi Yanran, at that time, who would have thought that the Huns still had the strength to slaughter the Central Plains? ”

"This ......," Kong Yingda was speechless.

Huo Qu's illness killed the Huns' corpses and a sea of blood, and the Han monarchs and ministers all thought that the Huns could not become a climate; When Dou Xian expelled the Xiongnu for 3,000 miles, the Han monarchs and ministers thought that the Xiongnu were not far from the day of the extinction of the country, and felt that the Xiongnu were not enough to trouble, and the Han could sit back and relax. But when it came to the Jin Dynasty, the first to raise the butcher's knife to the Central Plains was the Huns, who did not think so.

"Today, Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, and the Wa Kingdom are teaching me the Great Sui, learning the Great Sui civilization everywhere, one or two seem to be gentle and obedient, but in fact, they are teaching me today, and he will destroy me one day, which is called 'the long skills of the Sui to control the Sui'. The ancient sages left a lot of warning sayings, through various examples to let us 'be prepared for danger in times of peace', but even if the descendants have suffered countless losses, even if they have experienced the danger of destroying the country and extinction many times, they still do not have a long memory, they are still empty-eyed, arrogant, this idea is very dangerous, very important! ”

Yang Tong sighed and said to Ling Jing: "Ling Shangshu, you can talk about this Tubo, and let everyone know why I attach so much importance to this country. ”

"Whoa!" Ling Jing got up and introduced the situation in Tibet to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, when the Tubo led by Langri Zampu annexed the neighboring tribes and moved north to the Jiqu River valley (Lhasa River), it showed that the Tubo Dynasty had been established. However, judging from the information collected, Tibet was quite fragile at this time, and Langri Zampu gave and encircled the newly conquered or newly annexed nobles, and in order to balance the power of the original nobles, he used a large number of small tribes and supported them to fight largely. or grant military power to command the army to quell the rebellion; or entrust important responsibilities, officials and ministers. ”

However, Langri Zampu gave too many benefits to the tribes who had newly joined Tibet, and also caused great dissatisfaction among the nobles who supported him, even the original common people were also resentful. The original rebellion, not only the princess of the tribe, but also Subi, Tabu, Gongbu, Niangbu and other departments, also rebelled one after another, these people have only one purpose, is to regain the land and interests that originally belonged to them, although Langri Zampu is now in internal and external difficulties, but if the civil strife is quelled, it will be reborn like a big change, and then there will be no forces against him in Tubo. ”

Hearing this, some ministers of civil and military affairs who did not know the situation in Tibet became solemn. Before, they didn't know what Tubo was like, and they were a little unimpressed with Yang Tong attaching so much importance to it, but after Ling Jing said this, everyone paid attention to it. Because the Great Sui is so powerful, the current Great Sui, if there is a foreign enemy into the Kou, will be strongly resisted by thousands of people, and so on, if Tubo also transforms into the current Great Sui, its cohesion will be unprecedentedly great.

Seeing that everyone had a look of facing Tubo squarely, Ling Jing continued: "Its methods are the same as those used by the Holy Lord, once the old nobles are successfully weakened and annexed, the stability and strength of Tubo are self-evident, and they are by no means capable of Tuyuhun, Zhangxiong, Daughter Country, Bolu and other countries with internal disputes. If it is allowed to quench out the impurities and sharpen it into a sharp edge, it will definitely be a sharp sword, and in the southwest of my Great Sui, there will be an additional Turk similar to the Shibi period. ”

"This is also the reason why I attach great importance to Tibet. What we can do now is to support those forces that oppose Langri Zampu and prevent Tibet from completing de facto unification. Ling Shangshu sent additional men into Tibet to get rid of Langri Zampu's right-hand men, especially Langri Zampu's youngest son Songtsen Gampo, who was a mortal man, and his head was worth 100,000 gold coins! ”

"Whoa!" Ling Jing responded awe-inspiringly.

100,000 gold coins, that is, 100,000 taels of gold. Yang Tong's reward is so thick that it is eye-catching. Although he didn't know why he attached importance to the son of Langri Zampu, after some education, no one came out to oppose it.

"Holy Lord, how does Weichen reply to Princess Zhangxiong?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Yang Tong said: "Tell her that it is the Great Sui that agrees with Zhangxiong to join the Silk Road Alliance, and if Lan Han dares to rebel, he will use the constitution of the Silk Road Alliance to send troops to intervene; At the same time, the border trade was opened up in Jimo County, so that my Dasui business travel infiltrated it. ”

At the beginning of the capture of Guanzhong and the Hexi Corridor, Yang Tong opened the Silk Road at the first time, and successfully developed the high-level of various countries into pro-Sui forces in the way of economic control, laying a solid foundation for the collection of the Western Regions into the territory of the Great Sui, which is also suitable for Zhangxiong.

"What about Princess Zhangzhung? To be holy or not? Zhang Xuan asked again.

"Yes, of course!" Without waiting for Yang Tong to speak, Yang Gongren had already preemptively said: "Zhangxiong is located at the intersection of the Western Regions and the southwest of the Great Sui, and it is one of the most important links in the Western Regions and the southwest of the Great Sui. If Zhangxiong is in trouble, in the name of maintaining the prince's feudal state, the Great Sui army will be transferred in, and Zhangxiong will be occupied from the fact, so that Khotan in the west, Tubo in the east, and the daughter country in the south are in a condescending situation. ”

Just as Yang Tong was pondering, Fang Xuanling on the side added another fire and said with a smile: "There are few heirs of the saint, so women should be accepted into the palace and more princes." In the opinion of the ministers, he simply took Jindeman as well, and when the time came, in the name of the prince, Silla was included in the territory of the Great Sui. ”

This is actually what everyone means, as long as the goal of expanding the territory can be achieved, everyone is willing to use all means, not to mention, it is not the Great Sui who sent the princess over, and it does not violate the article of 'no harmony'.

Yang Tong laughed and said, "According to what you say!" If Goguryeo, Baekje, and Turkic also sent princesses, I would also accept them? ”

"It couldn't be better." Yang Shidao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, arched his hand and said: "When the time comes, even if you get the support of a small part of the country, you can logically drive the army in, this prince has the blood of the royal family of the country, and their people have no objection." ”

"Not necessarily!" Yang Tong shook his head and said, "Don't talk about anything else, just Xiangxiong." This person has the power to be loyal to him, and with the support of my Great Sui and the countries of the Western Regions, it is not difficult to kill Lan Han in a short period of time and regain control of the military and government, and he may not obey my Great Sui orders at that time! Even if he doesn't admit it afterwards, we can't do anything about him, Qimin Khan is a lesson from the past, and in the end, the only way to solve the problem is through war. Therefore, between countries, in the end, it is a contest of strength, and family affection or something is unreliable. The development of pro-Sui forces within it is more affordable than anything else, and it does not arouse the vigilance of the other party. And Princess Zhangxiong and Jindeman are both the same kind of people, scheming and sincerity are quite deep, lying and pretending to be pitiful, and their faces do not change. If they are included in the palace, nothing will happen! This matter, give up. ”

"Whoa!"

The ministers did not dare to say more.

Although Yang Tong did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was worried about the future crown prince dispute, in the past, there was a force behind each prince, if the princesses of various countries were included in the palace, behind the princes they would give birth to in the future would be a country, and the crown prince dispute would expand to the whole world.
