When Wang Fubao's eagle letter reached Daxing, Yang Tong's first reaction was not anger or surprise, after all, Tubo went north as expected. Tuyuhun's coup d'état surprised him, but when he thought about it, he was relieved. Just because the nomads have always respected the strong, the Khan of Tuyuhun must also be strong, not only to have personal prestige and intelligence to serve the public.

Murong Fuyun killed his brother Murong Fuyun through a military coup d'état in order to become the Khan of Tuyuhun. However, he was first annihilated by the Sui army in the fourth or fifth year of the Great Cause, resulting in Tuyuhun 4,000 miles from east to west, and 2,000 miles from north to south to the Sui Dynasty, and last year, he was once again annihilated by the Sui army with tens of thousands of main forces. And Tuyuhun is not monolithic, there are many internal controversies, and the Qiang people who are attached to the Tuyuhun nation are exploited by them, so his frequent failures have made Tuyuhun distrust and disgust with his ability, Murong Xiaojun killed him and replaced him, for Tuyuhun, it is a matter of conforming to the hearts of the people and making people happy. However, Murong Xiaojun's action of uniting with Tubo and making enemies of the Great Sui surprised Yang Tong, and he really didn't know who gave him courage.

Since the rise of Yang Dong, all the surrounding nationalities and countries have been ruthlessly cleaned up by the Great Sui, even the Turks with millions of people who control the strings can not match the Great Sui, so in the eyes of the Great Sui, their enemies are only internal troubles, and the rest are not enough to talk about and insignificant, and now except for a half-dead puppet Tang regime, there is no force in the world comparable to the Great Sui.

However, small countries like Tuyuhun and Tubo actually dared to offend Tianwei, which made the government and the opposition very angry.

As early as above the court, there were many ministers and generals who wrote to the court, asking the court to send troops while the grass was not yet frozen and it was snowing.

Some students even signed a joint letter, asking the imperial court to teach Tuyuhun and Tubo a bloody lesson, it is best to destroy their country and slaughter their tribes, and never suffer in the future.

Huanghuang Dasui, now it's so domineering!

What 'the Great Sui is a state of etiquette, the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, should be gentle to influence its heart, appease its people' and other absurd statements, has long been gone. Almost everyone thinks that the barbarians outside the territory are barbaric and rude, and they should be beaten and climbed first, and then they should be benevolent and righteous, and they should be educated, and the first soldier and then the salute is the royal way, otherwise no one will listen to the words of the saints.

Yang Tong was very happy with the joint letter from the students.

The courts of all dynasties have always been civil and military antagonisms, not to say who looks at whom is not pleasing to the eye, but is determined by interests.

Wenchen has always hoped that the world will be peaceful, the country and the people will be safe, even if the lives are ruined and starved everywhere, they will use the pen in their hands to whitewash the peace, praise the prosperity with beautiful articles, and give a picture of the prosperity to future generations, and finally fool the emperor into a lame, so that the civil official group can dominate the court.

On the contrary, the generals are just the opposite, for them, if they want the imperial court to put swords and guns into the warehouse and the horses to put in Nanshan, then how can they add officials to the knighthood? Therefore, only by constantly waging wars can we gain more voice and win more fame and fortune.

Excessive warfare is indeed a reckless use of military force, which will cause great harm to the country and the people. However, the rise of the literati to power will inevitably lead to the abolition of armaments, and once a strong enemy invades, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the country and unrest among the people. Even like the Song Dynasty, it suffered an unprecedented humiliation

If you really want to talk about the severity, it must be that the civilians are in power and crowd out the military generals. After all, the worst outcome of military generals in power is at best the abolition of internal affairs, the collapse of the edifice, and the annihilation of the empire; However, when civilian officials are in power, they often slack their own armaments, and raise aliens into fierce tigers for the benefit of their own countries.

The Song and Ming dynasties are typical representatives, the civil and military are completely opposed, the Wenchen group of the Song Dynasty constantly suppressed the generals for their own interests, resulting in the generals leading the troops to fight, they had to obey the "supervising army" who did not know how to fight, and the Ming Dynasty generals had to be constrained by the eunuchs, and the result was a fiasco again and again, resulting in the Central Plains being poisoned and enslaved by the nomads.

Even at the beginning of the 20th century, there were a group of literati who opposed the military generals when the nation was dying, preaching the pessimistic 'theory that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was bound to fail'......

Compared with those scum, the Confucian students of the Great Sui are actually very stylish. At this time, Confucianism did not have the bad wind of being noble and martial, many literati arrived on the battlefield, killing the enemy was like killing chickens, it is true that some people fought quite hard for their own interests, but when the foreign enemy invaded, there were really few people who were willing to be cowards, whether it was the previous famous minister Gao Gong, the famous general Wei Xuan, and the 'evil king' Pei Ju...... is still the current three major servants Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, and Yang Shanhui, all of whom have some scars and arrow wounds on their bodies.

In the face of the vigorous and murderous remarks of the government and the opposition, Yang Tong did not respond excessively, after all, he is the king of a country, and the issues to be considered are deeper, and he can't say that he will send troops, so after receiving Wang Fubao's second eagle letter, he hurriedly summoned Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Ling Jing, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda and other accompanying civil and military ministers to discuss.

Li Keshi, who was appointed to stay in Daxing, is like his brother Li Jing, who is also a powerful character with both civil and military skills, he said: "Murong Xiaojun stole the throne of Tuyuhun Khan in a violent way, and was eager to calm down the voices of the various ministries who did not oppose him, and was eager to prove that he was stronger than Murong Fuyun, so he thought about making a name for himself with military achievements, and the idea was good, but it was a pity that he picked the wrong opponent, thinking that with the help of Tubo, he could despise Tianwei and disobey Wang Hua. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received a good response from a group of dividers.

Since the Great Sui eliminated Li Mi, the world seems to have returned to the written confrontation between the north and the south, and many people who do not know Yang Dong's strategy think that Yang Dong is advancing steadily, and Feng Ang in the south of Wuling and Yizhou Pseudo-Tang will only consider others if he is in danger of four stops, but Feng Ang has Zhang Zhenzhou and Qin Qiong on the side, and Yang Shanhui and Li Jing on the pseudo-Tang side, there is no need to send additional troops, and then, as a spectator, I am afraid that there will be no chance to fight for a long time. This is not good news for those who are bent on seeking military merit.

Top notch, such as Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, Yang Gongren, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Luo Shixin and others have already achieved fame and fame all over the world, and it is not a problem to ascend to the 'Zhenguo Temple', but there are still a large number of generals who feel that their military exploits are not qualified enough to be the protector of the country. They were worried that there was no place to get military merits, and Tuyuhun and Tubo happened to pop up, isn't this the military exploit that pushed themselves to the top of glory?

But Du Ruhui frowned, why didn't he know what these guys were thinking? At other times, Du Ruhui naturally would not object, but the imperial court now wants to lead the Tubo soldiers into Yizhou, so as to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and then kill the enemy with a small number of troops. So it's never a good idea to increase the number of troops in Heyuan.

"Wechen reconsiders." Just as Du Ruhui was about to speak out against it, another Wenchen came out and said: "Tuyuhun and Tubo have set a precedent, and all the Tibetan subordinates are watching the reaction of my Great Sui, if my Great Sui is over, what will they think?" They will not think that my Great Sui values peace, but that my Great Sui is weak and can be bullied; If we don't uproot their country and destroy their species, won't our subordinates under the rule of the Great Sui see the same in the future? In the long run, where is the majesty of my Great Sui? Weichen thought that he had to take this opportunity to make an example of the monkeys again, so that these small countries who did not know the greatness of heaven and earth and the strength of the Great Sui could see the power of the Great Sui. ”

This generous guy is Du Ruhui's elder brother Du Chuke, who worships the palace supervisor of Daxing Palace.

Du Ruhan's face darkened and said: "Although Murong Xiaojun is hateful, whether it is Tuyuhun or Tubo, no matter how you say it, they are also two countries, they have perfect official systems and laws, and they are very different from the Xi people and Turks who respect the strong, and you can't expect one or two big victories to be scattered... Especially in Tibet, if the army of the whole country comes to fight, not to mention there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers, we now have many wars to fight, if we want to annihilate them, and General Wang Fubao only has 30,000 soldiers, he does not have the strength to deal with so much, if he must send troops on a large scale, he has to transfer troops from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in that way, the army will be mobilized, and the money and food consumed will be great. ”

"We have even crawled the Turks, what is there to be afraid of these more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers?" Du Chuke was dissatisfied.

"You know what?" Du Ruhui's face was pale: "Tuyuhun is easy to say, but Tubo is not easy to fight, although Langri Zampu is arrogant, but he is not stupid, this person can run Tubo from a small tribe that is enemy on all sides to a hegemon in the southwest, this is the ability." Moreover, he has been emulating the Central Plains Dynasty system, and Tubo is at the peak of its prosperity in his hands. ”

The crowd was silent.

Du Ruyan said well, Tubo and Turkic, Khitan, Xi tribe system is different, people not only know how to use Buddhism to control people's hearts, but also know how to learn the Central Plains system, and strive to build a king's supremacy of the great unified dynasty, this kind of country is full of resilience, extremely difficult to deal with, the most typical representative is Goguryeo, Goguryeo from the Han Dynasty to the present, the life span is longer than the Han Dynasty. But no matter how long the history is, it can't change the fact that the country is small and the people are widowed, and the national strength is weak, if it weren't for the long-term dispute between the north and the south, if it weren't for Emperor Wen of Sui's carelessness and the death of Emperor Wu, how would he have survived until now?

And Tibet is also a country that has tried its best to enter the centralized system but has not yet succeeded, and there are all kinds of disharmony for the time being, but in any case, Tubo has been passed on to Langri Zampu for thirty-two generations, although it has many bad habits, but the barbaric habits have allowed Tubo to maintain its fierce and murderous nature, and the rough system and Buddhism have allowed them to maintain the continuation of their rule. To deal with such a country, it is indeed necessary to take a long-term view, and we cannot do it hot-headedly.

Yang Tong saw that Du Ruhui pressed his younger brother out of temper, and he was amused, speaking of which, there are really many dragon brothers and tiger brothers in the Great Sui system, such as the Yang brothers (Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao), the Xue Five Tigers, the Li Jing brothers, the Du brothers, the Lai brothers, the Zhou brothers, and the Mai brothers are the most typical representatives, and there are also tiger fathers and tiger sons, such as Pei and Li Jing......

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, waiting for his own statement, he said: "What Keming said is reasonable, although Tuyuhun and Tubo are hateful, but the matter of raising troops to crusade needs to be done slowly.

"Holy ......" Du Chuke sneered: "I, the Great Sui, sacrificed countless soldiers to have the prestige to command the world, can I let this prestige be trampled on by savages like Tubo and Tuyuhun?" ”

"Naturally, I can't." Yang Tong said proudly, "Although you can't destroy your country and slaughter your clan for the time being, you can still cut off one of your fingers." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and they asked, "What does the Holy One think?" ”

"It's like last year's Tu Gu Hun, killing a part of the living force. Increase the contradictions between each other, and lure Lang Ri Zampu to send troops to his death step by step. Yang Tong said.

Du Ruhui saluted and said, "The saint is wise." ”

"......" Du Chuke looked at his brother speechlessly, I seem to mean the same thing, why don't I see you praise it?
