Chapter 50: Inexplicably Sentimental

As an elderly person, the friends around him died one by one, until he was alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if Xue Ne refuses to accept old age, it is inevitable that he will feel the twilight of a hero.

Pei Min couldn't imagine that the elder who treated him well would die like this, and he couldn't help but say with a little gloom: "When did it happen?" Guo Gong died of illness, and my Datang has one less old man. ”

Xue Ne said: "Just when you were going deep into the desert to pursue the rebels, bad news came from Chang'an. Brother Zhen walked away very peacefully, and his children made us not too sad. ”

Pei Min let out a long breath, eased his spirit, and said with a smile: "Guo Gong walked peacefully, and Taigong should not be too sad." It was because Guo Gong died of illness, and his grandson thought that Taigong was going to be old! ”

Xue Ne glared and said, "Taigong can eat a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat in one meal, where is he old!" ”

Pei Min also smiled: "That's it! You talk like thunder, who said that if you are old, your grandson will not spare him first? ”

They digressed the conversation and talked about the future.

Xue Ne also asked: "Min'er has always been visionary, what do you think about the future of Datang?" ”

"Let's develop steadily in the short term!" Pei Min pondered for a while, gave an answer, and said: "In recent years, my Tang Dynasty has experienced many wars, and it has been affected by drought, and the recovered Jiuqu land in Hexi also needs to be taken care of. The national strength is somewhat tight, and it should develop well for a few years, and then go to war when the national strength is restored. ”

Xue Ne nodded and said: "We are of the same opinion, a country is strong, war is inevitable, and our generals cannot only care about their own merits and ignore the people of the world." War must be established under the condition that the national strength can support it, and the right way is the way, otherwise the people and money will be lost, and the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty in the past will be repeated. ”

"As for later!" Pei Min also had nothing to hide from Xue Ne: "In the past two years, Sun Er plans to repair Shibao City and strengthen Mo Liyi's defense line. Let Mo Liyi be connected with the defense area of Jiuqudi in Hexi to completely solve the problem of Tibet. persecuted Tibet, not daring to start a war on the Western Front. ”

Xue Ne's eyes lit up, and he said approvingly: "Sure enough, Shibei should be impressed for three days, Min'er has a good eye." No wonder you attach so much importance to Mo Liyi. ”

Mo Liyi was like a nail inserted into Qinghai Lake and became the thorn of Tubo.

It is impossible that the Tibetans do not want to uproot it, but they will never dare to do it lightly.

Because of the war, Qinghai Lake must be the first to suffer.

The significance of Qinghai Lake to Tibet is self-evident. Once Qinghai Lake falls into war, Tibet's economy will be greatly affected.

Faced with this situation, even if they dreamed of recapturing Mo Liyi, they did not dare to start a war easily. Especially in the face of the Tang Army's tight defensive line, but starting a war would mean pulling Qinghai Lake into the quagmire of war.

Before Tubo had the courage and determination to break his wrist and cripple Qinghai Lake, it was unlikely that there would be a big war in the Mo Liyi generation, and at most there would be some inevitable friction.

"As long as this goal is achieved, it should force the Tibetan target to the Western Regions!" Pei Min's eyes shone with wisdom, these days he has been constantly studying Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian's experience in using soldiers, which has made him learn a lot of things, especially Li Jing's art of war!

Li Jing's name as a military god is well-deserved, and when it comes to the use of soldiers, he is indeed above Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian. The key to Li Jing's victory over the two lies in strategy, and his strategic vision is astonishing. Supplemented by tactics and strategy against the enemy, he can always grasp the strategic initiative, so whether it is water warfare, infantry combat, cavalry warfare, surprise attacks by small troops, or large army transfers, he can fully control them.

Through the study of Li Jing's military strategy, Pei Min has made full progress in strategic vision, and he already knows the general trend of history. Combined, the analysis of the situation between friend and foe is unparalleled in the world today.

"The main purpose of the Tubo attack on my Longyou is to cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, so that they can regain control of the Western Regions and make up for the lack of topography in Tubo. Now that they have no hope in Longyou, it is natural for them to return their focus to the Western Regions. ”

Hearing Pei Min's analysis, Xue Ne groaned for a while and said, "According to your thoughts, the future Western Regions will be lively!" ”

"Not really!" Pei Min said with a bright face: "Two years ago, why did the Turkic Khan go to trouble Qarlu, Huluwu, and Ratnishi? Isn't it because they can't defeat our Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Battlefield and want to develop in the Western Regions! Just now, my grandson also got reliable news that the Turks had co-opted Zhang Wen, the vulture leader of the horse thieves in the Western Regions. Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by. As for Turgish, he has never been a good man and a woman. We made a no-war pact with them through the country of Fula, in the final analysis, because we didn't want to become the sword of Tubo, and because of the strength of our Datang Dynasty, they were afraid of it. As long as something happens and tears this face apart from each other, there is no doubt that war will come. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled: "Tubo, Da Shiguo, Tuqishi, Turkic plus my Datang, the five countries are staring at the fat of the Western Regions, it is not ordinary lively!" ”

Xue Ne knew that Pei Min was yearning for the heart of the Western Regions, and couldn't help but smile: "Lively is lively, but now you are not just the festival envoy of Longyou, but also the envoy of the inspection." Taigong may be able to join in the fun, you are far away in Longyou, what can you do? ”

Pei Min said indifferently: "Don't worry about me about this, I still have to go to the Western Regions." At most, give up Longyoubei and apply to be transferred to the Western Regions. ”

Xue Ne glanced at Pei Min unexpectedly and said, "You can really let go of Longyou's foundation?" ”

Pei Min shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "What can't be put down?" Besides, going to the Western Regions does not necessarily mean giving up Longyou! ”

Xue Ne couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you still want to serve as the envoy of the Anxi Festival?" ”

"Maybe!" Pei Min knew that Xue Ne was joking, and he responded jokingly.

If you want to be another emperor and want to be a two-person festival envoy, it's a dream.

If you are given a festival envoy, you will be treated as a thief......

But Li Longji is an alien emperor, as long as he is happy, two towns, three towns and four towns are not a thing.

If you don't give enough military power, you will also give the regime, and if you are in a good mood, you will be given financial power or something, and you will be directly promoted to the uncrowned king of a region.

That's how the Anshi Rebellion came about!

If it weren't for Li Longji's excessive delegation of power and giving one-third of the world's military power to An Lushan, a Hu man, An Lushan would have provoked such a great turmoil as the Anshi Rebellion.

With his current status and status, he does not ask Wang Zhonghei to be worthy of the handsome seal of the four towns, holding half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and he is not comparable to the envoys of the three towns of An Lushan.

When a two-town festival envoy, there should be no big problem.

Anyway, now that he is looking at the one-third of an acre of land in the Western Regions, whoever grabs him will be in a hurry.

Of course, you can't say this to Xue Ne, just think about it in your heart.

Xue Ne said: "At that time, Taigong will make a contribution here, see if he can transfer you to Hexi, and be the envoy of Hexi Festival, how about it is like going to Anxi!" ”

Pei Min said movingly: "Taigong doesn't need to be like this! ”

The Hexi Jiedu envoy ruled the seven prefectures of Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou, which are now vacant, and once someone succeeds them, it means that the status is even higher than Xue Ne. Moreover, Hexi Jiedu made 73,000 soldiers, which was almost the same as Longyou, but Anxi Jiedu only made 24,000, and Xue Ne's move obviously did not want Pei Min to suffer.

"The future world belongs to you young people, after all, Taigong is at this age, how long can he work again?" Xue Ne smiled with relief.

When Pei Min heard this, he suddenly felt extremely harsh, and his heart was inexplicably sad.
