Li Hong believed that through the mouths of these merchants, what happened here today would soon spread in the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Moreover, for those people who were conquered by the Tang Dynasty and the small countries in the Western Regions, it may have some positive effects and make them feel a sense of pride in being Tang people.

But as for whether it will have an impact, Li Hong is not sure in his heart, but he will use these businessmen as much as possible to spread the iron-blooded domineering spirit of the Tang Dynasty and the determination to care for the people.

Businessmen who travel from south to north, in this era, are equivalent to the media of the previous life, they are mobile microphones, anything that passes through their mouths, it will spread quickly, and they will have more mystery, and their own vague sense of superiority.

Yuan Shuji looked at Li Hong's firm eyes, and finally his heart was crossed, and according to Li Hong's meaning, he dropped all five people from the head of Yumen Pass to the air.

The cold air instantly swept through the city, instantly sobering the Kassims from their pain.

Li Hong's voice came from above their heads: "Enjoy the cool night, I hope you can survive the night." ”

Yuan Shuji frowned, he felt a heavy feeling in his heart now, I am afraid that this matter still needs to be reported to the above, otherwise if His Royal Highness the young prince is tossed like this, something will happen sooner or later.

"Are you worried that the White Eater will come to take revenge?" Li Hong stepped on the steps step by step and asked.

"Well, don't hide it from the capital, the last general is indeed a little worried." Yuan Shuji said truthfully.

Li Hong looked at the cold moon and sighed, and suddenly exhaled a mouthful of white heat from his mouth, and muttered: "After the Western Turks were conquered by my Tang Dynasty, but the little Khan of the Western Turks, Ashnu, threw himself into Tibet, Yuan Shuji, why do you say this?" ”

Yuan Shuji didn't understand what Li Hong meant, so he thought about it and said, "Because our Tang Dynasty destroyed their country, so he attached himself to Tubo?" ”

"Then tell me, after Tocharian was conquered by me, why did he want to restore the country, but in the end he was attached to the white food?" Li Hong continued to ask.

Yuan Shuji doesn't have to think about it this time, the reason is there, who doesn't know that the white-clothed food is very powerful now, compared to the Tang Dynasty, the white-clothed food is more able to directly threaten them, but the Datang is thousands of miles away, and if you want to be attached to it, it is naturally dependent on the white-clothed food.

Without waiting for Yuan Shuji to answer, Li Hong continued to himself: "So, only when you become very strong, your enemies will be in awe of you, and as long as you show a tough side, your enemies will give you respect. If you are weak, your enemies will only treat you as a lowly creature and will not give you the slightest equality. Tocharo is weak, and the white-clothed food is strong, so Tocharian is attached to the big food, Datang is also powerful, but Datang is also very easy to fool, he is as powerful as a fool, as long as they get benefits from us, they will turn their faces and deny people, and they are ready to give you a fatal knife in the back at any time. ”

Li Hong, accompanied by Yuan Shuji, returned to his accommodation, stood at the door and looked at him, and said easily: "Only when the enemy is afraid of you, only when the enemy is afraid of you, can you truly conquer them, if they fail to fear the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, they will never succumb to the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, they will always think about independence, think about the restoration of the country, and do whatever it takes to do so." As the saying goes, if you kill someone, you must first punish your heart, and if you kill your country, you must first destroy your writing. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shuji seemed to understand a little, Li Hong narrowed his eyes and continued: "Killing their khans is just killing them for an era, and other khans will emerge from them." If we exterminate their culture and use our culture to educate and moralize them, then we will be the real extermination, the real domination! Therefore, the people of the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian, and Honglu Temple have nothing to do in the court every day, and they are always staring at me whether they have done bad things, so it is better to send them all over, and let them come here to promote our Tang culture, and spread some of them to the countries with the surname Zhaowujiu, Shiguo, Kangguo, Gaochang and that turtle, so that they are the seeds of our Tang Dynasty, and spiritually, spiritually controlling them is far stronger than force. But there is one prerequisite, and that is that first you have to conquer them by force! Let them give us the opportunity to use our culture to exterminate their people. ”

"Thank you for the apologetics, Yuan Shuji has kept it in mind!" A hint of loyalty flashed across Yuan Shuji's face.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing in the cold wind and telling himself such a long speech, hoping that he, and even other border generals of the Tang Dynasty, could understand the significance of the Tang Dynasty's expedition.

"The students thank Mr. for his teachings, and it is better to listen to Mr. than to study hard for ten years. With such an incisive philosophy, I am afraid that students may not be able to realize it even if they study hard for ten years. There were also some immature voices coming from behind Yuan Shuji.

"Haven't slept yet? I'll have to hurry tomorrow. Li Hong looked at the two and said.

Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan walked up to Li Hong, and after making a disciple salute, they said: "Back to Mr., this is the first time for the two of us to come to this Yumen Pass, and I was a little excited in my heart, so I dispelled my sleepiness and turned around casually, not wanting to have the honor to listen to Mr. here's true meaning." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, you two will not be comfortable with me along the way, I hope you two can survive the hard days in the future." Li Hong waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Shuji to go back, and then looked at Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan and said.

"Sir, you can bear it as a daughter, and we should be able to bear it." Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan, after getting along with Li Hong for more than a month, are no longer as restrained as before.

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds, what if there are difficulties?" Li Hong said meticulously.

"Students don't dare." When the two heard Li Hong's words, their expressions immediately tightened, and they hurriedly said with respectful expressions.

What are you kidding, there is a difference between a monarch and a minister, no matter how kind you are to you, you can't think of yourself as an existence on the same level as you.

Looking at the appearance of the two people, Li Hong smiled, and then motioned for the two of them to go down and rest.

Xia Zhi behind him hurriedly opened the door curtain, welcomed Li Hong into the warm room, closed the door and asked, "Master, why did they all turn pale and look nervous when you said that they shared weal and woe?" ”

"Alas, this is the so-called difference between monarchs and ministers, it's me who is too Meng Lang." Li Hong let Xiaoxue help him take off his white fur coat and said.

This is like in the previous life, I remember someone said: the leader can treat you as a brother, but you must not treat the leader as a brother. In the previous life, such human feelings and sophistication still existed, let alone the current era.

After the death of Xiaohan and Bai Lu, Li Hong left Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi tightly by his side, and for so many years, the two of them have been sleeping with Li Hong in addition to Bai Chun.

Therefore, Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue performed their respective duties, and soon waited for Li Hong to finish bathing.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Hong was waited by Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi to dress and wash, and after everything was done, Hua Meng was already waiting at the door.

"Master, I just sent it, you can take a look."

Li Hong took the secret letter in Hua Meng's hand, tore it casually, swept it with ten lines, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "Yo, it seems that I guessed well, this Qasim is not small, and he is actually the youngest son of Muaviye, a white-clothed eater." ”

"Who is Mu'awiya?" Hua Meng asked strangely.

Li Hong handed him back the letter, looked at the soldiers who were busy preparing to set off, looked at the rising sun that had just emerged from the horizon, and said: "Mu'awiyya is the king of the Umayyad kingdom, and the king is called 'caliphate' in their understanding, which is their language, and when translated into our words, it means successor and ruler, and the title of their emperor and king is to govern their country in place of their prophet. ”

"Prophet?" Hua Meng was even more stunned, and even Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, who were wearing a suit of armor, were also dazed and cute after cleaning up next to them.

Mangzhong, who was leading the horse for Li Hong, was also at a loss: "Caliph? It's a terrible name, it's not as nice as the title of our emperor. ”

"Cultures are different, so naturally the titles are different. The caliph's real name was Muhammad. Root. Abdullah. Root. Abdul. Mutali. Root. Hashem. Li Hong said that in the end, he felt a little tongue-twisted.

The six people behind him watched Li Hong's lips fly up and down, their eyes widened with a blank and sluggish expression, it was the first time they had heard such a long name, and they had all been following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was born, and they didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew so well about things thousands of miles away.

"Banmei, don't look down on this prophet, he is dressed in white, but he enjoys the prestige of the imperial power." Li Hong looked at Banmei, who was secretly pouting, and said.

"Yes, the master taught me that the slave and maid should remember." Banmei playfully spit out her lilac tongue and said in a playful voice.

"Don't underestimate these people, every place has a spiritual civilization and inheritance faith in every place, and this caliph is their spiritual faith, in the hearts of the white-clothed people, no one is nobler than their great prophet Muhammad, no one is stronger than their great prophet Muhammad." Looking at the disapproving looks of several people, at this time, even Yao Chong, Huan Yanfan, and Yuan Shuji followed behind him.

Although everyone is listening with their ears pricked up, it is clear that they do not show enough attention and respect for other civilizations as they do themselves.

"Muhammad was able to conquer vast areas such as the White Cloth, but force was not the weapon on which he relied the most, but a weapon that none of our sages had ever done, and his weapon was far more powerful than any force, and he was directed to the heart of man, to make people submit to him from the heart." Li Hong stepped on his horse and walked slowly outside the city, where all the soldiers had already been assembled.

"What kind of weapon is that? Please also ask for most of the precepts. Yuan Shuji asked with a deep bow to Li Hong, who was riding on horseback.
