Chapter 42: Li Er's Iron Blood

Li Er's idea was very pure, he just wanted to tie Lu Hanyang to the chariot of the Tang Dynasty, and then get Sun Simiao, the great miracle doctor, with his hands.

But Lu Hanyang didn't want to pull the cart and the horse in front of the Tang Dynasty, all he wanted was to live well, and then improve his cultivation, and finally find the guy who sent him over to see when he would send him back.

He didn't believe that he would have nothing to do and be fed up if he sent himself to the Tang Dynasty, so that guy didn't say anything now, and he would definitely appear in the future. And at that time, you have to make your own voice, and don't be toyed with by the other party between applause like before.

Therefore, if Lu Hanyang wants to cultivate, he has to practice without exercises, so he can only stay on this jade mountain, or go to those famous mountains and rivers in other myths and legends to try the opportunity.

"Immortal Chief...... Think again! Li Er saw that Lu Hanyang didn't speak, and suddenly became a little anxious, if he wanted to canonize Lu Hanyang as a national teacher, he had to make the person concerned willing to accept it, otherwise the other party would just leave it alone, and he would not be embarrassed to death.

"This matter, this seat will not agree, immortals are different, if it is related to the life and death of my Central Plains, this seat will not let go!" Lu Hanyang still rejected Li Er.

"Immortal Chief's instructions, Xiao Ke should obey himself, then let Yuan Tiangang take over the position of National Teacher! Datang Fubo doesn't have that glory, there are immortals, and I am the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty! Li Er couldn't force Lu Hanyang to be a national teacher, so he could only give up.

"The Tang Emperor is not in a hurry, the Tang Dynasty has the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty, and this seat also has the fate of the throne, and everything is forced. Everything in the world has its own laws, and there is no good result in disobeying these laws, so there is no need to force it, and it cannot be forced! Lu Hanyang said.

"Immortal Chang is right, it's a small luxury, but if Datang is in danger, I hope Immortal Chang will help!" Li Er retreated to the second.

"If we say it's a crisis, what is it? In the eyes of Datang, the surrounding countries are in danger, and no one in the surrounding countries of Datang can stop them now, except for the power of heaven and earth, manpower has not been able to stop the Tang army. Lu Hanyang said.

Because of the war in the former Sui Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains has dropped sharply, from 34 million households at the beginning to only 8 million households now, which is 78 out of 10. This is a murder more horrific than any natural disaster.

But after so many years of war, the result is that these surviving young men are all killed talents who have seen blood, and it can be said that although the Tang Dynasty army is not many now, only two or three hundred thousand, it can make the surrounding countries fearful.

The reason why Li Er was forced to the edge of Weishui by the Turks last year was mainly to calm the country, he had just shared the victory with Prince Yin, and the family clan behind Prince Yin was about to move. He had to put his army in the local area to intimidate these big families.

And now the only thing that restricts Datang's military operations is the people's livelihood in China, and it is also Datang's embarrassment that it cannot support a big war. Because of the shortage of grain and grass in the country, the world has withered for so many years, and the foundation of the former Sui has been completely consumed, and only Li Er himself has slowly accumulated his family foundation.

"Immortal Chief, what do you mean by that? Countless alien races around Datang are eyeing them, why can't they be conscripted? If the Central Plains is strong, it will surrender, and if the Central Plains is weakened, it will invade, what is the use of such a foreign race? "It's not that Li Er doesn't know the true face of these aliens. This is how his own ancestors came, although after ascending to the throne, the Li family began to whitewash, and recognized Li Er as their ancestor.

But the Xianbei blood in their family can't be washed away, not only him, but also his queen Changsun family, as well as those officials in the court who have reverted to their surnames, are all descendants of the fusion with the Han bloodline during the Wuhu Rebellion.

Li Er's understanding of this kind of white-eyed wolf-like alien race is more real than Lu Hanyang's, and in history, he appeased, divided, and then co-opted some of them and suppressed some of them. Even such a method is carried out in secret, and it is on the surface that it does not discriminate equally.

As Li Er said in history: Since ancient times, they have all been divided into Hu and Han Yidi, but I love them as one. That's a nice thing to say, but can it really be done? This is obviously impossible, and such a national harmony is absolutely impossible in feudal society.

Why is that? It's just to appease those Fanbang aliens and reassure them that Datang will not beat you. In this way, those guys will not rebel, but according to Li Er's true thoughts, it is absolutely necessary to directly eradicate all these alien races.

This can be seen in Li Er's fact that he wants to wage wars with foreign countries every few years, not to mention whether the reasons recorded in the history books are correct, but Li Er's foreign policy is not seen when the division is famous and directly sends troops to fight?

With that money and food to fight, it is better to let the people in the country live better, and it is not that everyone can be well fed and clothed during the Zhenguan period. In the entire Datang map, only a small number of people can be fed and clothed, and most of them are just struggling with hunger and cold.

Therefore, the reason why Li Er fought foreign wars was because he knew that these alien races would rebel even if they were good to them, and they were white-eyed wolves who could not be fed: the Eastern Turks were like this, and they signed a contract and said that they would tear it up; Xue Yantuo is the same, Li Er canonized the Zhenzhu Khan in history, but in the end, Xue Yantuo became a white-eyed wolf after he grew stronger.

There are also Gaochang, Goryeo, as well as the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, etc., all of which must be spoken with war in Li Er's heart. But the reason why the compromise is made is because the domestic people's livelihood is not enough to make Datang's military operations unhindered.

The army did not move the grain and grass first, there was no money and food, and the war or something was just lip service.

"Those aliens are not worth mentioning now, as long as this seat is here, how can they struggle? Do you really think that this seat will not dare to kill? Lu Hanyang speculated about Li Er's foreign policy, and then came to the conclusion that Li Er was actually a nationalist and really regarded himself as the emperor of the Han family.

"Immortal Elder can indeed directly rectify these alien races, but Immortal Elder has ever thought that if the Tang Dynasty is sheltered under the Immortal Chief's wings like this, then how can he talk about growth? If the eagle wants to fight in the sky, it must learn to fight alone (river crab ^-^). Li Er said.

He didn't want to say that if he had been protected by you, an immortal, Datang would probably become a bunch of cowards in the future.

"Since you have already made a decision, Emperor, then do it! What should Datang do, what should it be, this seat has no interest in care. However, we can't let the country be unstable and use troops abroad, it is important to recruit foreign races, but the well-being of the people is even more important! After Lu Hanyang finished speaking, he turned around and left directly.
