Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Survey of World Affairs

Li Xiu only knows that the bearded guest has established a force overseas, and it is also known as the Buyeo country, but it is not very clear when this Buyeo country was founded, and where it was founded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wa Guo? It used to belong to the Wa Kingdom, but now it's not! At this time, the bearded guest replied with a smile, and he didn't know if it was Li Xiu's illusion, he always felt that the bearded guest's smile had a bloody smell in it.

"The Wa Kingdom, is it the Wa State that angered Yang Guang because of 'the sunrise is the place where the Son of Heaven is nowhere to be written'?" Ma Ye and Qin Qiong were also surprised when they heard this, the so-called 'the sunrise is nowhere to the book day', in fact, it refers to the former Sui Dynasty, the Wa State sent envoys to pay tribute, but the king of the Wa Kingdom called himself the Sunrise Son of Heaven and called Yang Guang the Sun No Son of Heaven, and his tone was very arrogant, which also angered Yang Guang, thus cutting off the contact with the Wa State.

"That's right, it's that Wa country!" The bearded guest nodded and replied, "The Wa State lives in the east side of the three kingdoms such as Goguryeo, and there is only a strait in the middle, and there are three islands in the Wa Kingdom, with Honshu Island being the largest, and the place where I live is located in the southernmost part of the Wa Kingdom, Tsukushi Island, although the area of this island is not as large as the largest Honshu Island, but the area can also be compared with a state capital in the Central Plains, and now the northern part of Chikushi Island is taken over by the Wa State, as for the south, hehe~"

The bearded guest smiled again when he said the end, and then lowered his head and took a sip of the spirits, although he didn't finish speaking, but Li Xiu and they all understood what he meant, among them, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong also looked at each other in surprise, they had also heard about some deeds of the bearded guest, and knew that he was not a person who was willing to live under the people, and now it seems that this is the case, the Central Plains failed to compete for hegemony, and he actually went overseas to establish a force, no wonder there is a sentence in his poem just now, "overseas is the king".

Li Xiu pouted secretly when he heard this, although Japan in later generations occupied four large islands, but Hokkaido was actually occupied later, for a long time in ancient times, the Wa Kingdom also occupied the central and southern parts of Honshu Island, most of Shikoku and the northern part of Kyushu Island, Kyushu Island is also the Tsukushi Island in the mouth of the bearded guest, as for the rest of the place, it has its own separatist forces, and it does not belong to the Wa State at all, and it was not until later that it was slowly occupied by the Wa State.

Although Tsukushi Island is not small, the bearded guests only occupy the south, and according to Li Xiu's knowledge, the southern part of Tsukushi Island has always been a pirate settlement, Han people, Japanese people, Goguryeo people, etc., as long as they are people who eat sea rice, almost all like to run there, so the bearded guest said that he occupies the southern part of Tsukushi Island, in fact, he is nothing more than a big pirate leader.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that Japanese women like to dye their teeth black, and their makeup is also very weird, I wonder if it's true?" At this time, Ma Ye asked again with great interest, although the bearded guest is the king, but it is also overseas, and there is no conflict with the Tang Dynasty at all, so even if His Majesty the Emperor knows, it is nothing, and he doesn't care about it.

"Haha, this is true, and not all women are qualified to dye their teeth black, only some aristocratic women will do this, it is said that the dye for dyeing black teeth is very precious, and they also like to paint their faces with a thick layer of powder, white face and black teeth, you think, the first time I saw this kind of woman, I kicked her under the bed, and since then I have never dared to ask for a woman!" When it comes to women, bearded customers also seem very excited, which is also a common problem for men.

"Hahahaha~, Brother Zhang is really a temperamental, speaking of which, it is still a woman from my Tang Dynasty who looks pleasing to the eye, when someone gave me a Persian bearded girl, the smell on her body is unbearable......"

Ma Ye is also an old and immodest person, mentioning that women are also excited, and he also talked about his experience in this area of women, but the more he chatted with the bearded customer, the more speculative he became, and from time to time burst into laughter.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiu was also a little helpless, thinking that Qin Qiong was more decent and didn't bother to discuss this issue at all, but what Li Xiu never expected was that just as he thought of this, he saw Qin Qiong suddenly interject: "In my opinion, it is still the Silla woman who is gentle and petite and cute, some time ago Silla gave King Qin a few beauties, and Qin was fortunate to get a ......."

"Boom~" Li Xiu only felt that the idol in his heart had collapsed all of a sudden, was this still the righteous and filial Qin Qiong in his impression? But when he thought about it carefully, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety and lust are completely different things, and for men in this era, especially for men with strength and status like Qin Qiong and Ma Ye, it is simply normal to accept a few beautiful concubines.

Listening to the three uncle-level characters discussing the characteristics of the beauties of various countries, which is also mixed with the complaints of the bearded customers about the women of the Japanese country, in fact, at this time Li Xiu wanted to interject and tell them that the women of the Japanese country are actually good, such as Xiao Ze and Mingbu in the later generations, and so on, now think about it, I really miss the folder in my computer that was set as a hidden one, hundreds of g, and I don't know which guy to buy a second-hand computer cheaply/

Several men got together, either to talk about women, or to talk about state affairs, Ma Ye and the three of them chatted about women for a while, and finally turned to the current situation of Datang, for the development of Datang in recent years, the bearded guest is also full of praise, speaking of which, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the anti-kings have been fighting endlessly, all want to win the world, Li Yuan has been very late, but in just a few years, the Tang Dynasty has wiped out all the anti-kings with a sweeping momentum, and even repelled the Turkic attack, it can be said that the national foundation of the Tang Dynasty has also been stable, which is basically unlikely to shake the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Listening to Ma Ye's discussion, Li Xiu yawned a little bored, he was really not interested in these topics, and even felt very bored, but at the same time he had a headache, and when the party was over, I was afraid that the bearded guest would have to pull him to see Li Jing, what should I do? He didn't want to have anything to do with Li Jing no matter what, so he had to find a way to get out.

"Virtuous nephew, listening to Brother Ma, you also have a different opinion on the general trend of the world, why do you keep silent?" Just when Li Xiu was thinking of a way to get out, he suddenly only heard the bearded guest ask him in a loud voice.

"Huh? Have it? Li Xiu was also stunned for a moment before reacting, and then smiled and said modestly, "Uncle, you are all rare heroes in the world, and your knowledge is also very comparable, so I, a junior, will not come out to offer ugliness!" ”

"See, this kid obviously has the ability, but he always likes to hide it!" At this time, Ma Ye pointed at Li Xiu and smiled at Qin Qiong and the bearded guest, and then said to Li Xiu, "If you kid have any opinions, just say it directly, but I heard from the princess that when you were in Gyeongju before, you offered a set of strategies to split the Turks, and even the King of Qin was stunned by you, and later he admired you very much, so don't hide it from you!" ”

"King Qin is the dragon and phoenix among people, you can make him so respected, you must have extraordinary opinions, hurry up and listen to someone!" The bearded guest was in the mood at this time, and laughed at the next wine bowl.

Over the years, he has stayed in the overseas barbarian land of Chikushi Island, and he usually can't find someone who is qualified to talk to him, but now he has met three at once, which naturally hooked his talk, and from the conversation just now, the bearded guest found that Ma Ye and Qin Qiong both admired Li Xiu, which also made him more curious about Li Xiu, it seems that he did underestimate this nephew before.

"Since you want to hear it, uncle, then the nephew will be ugly!" Li Xiu couldn't refuse, so he had to think about it and said, "After Liu Heimin's death, the general trend of the world has been decided, although there are still some forces in various places who are unwilling to surrender, but they are just mustard moss, there is no need to worry about it at all, it can be said that there is no big threat within the Tang Dynasty." ”

When he said this, Li Xiu paused for a moment before continuing: "In contrast, the outside of the Tang Dynasty is full of threats, not to mention the Turks, although last year the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang repelled the attack of the other party, but with the character of the Turks, they will definitely make a comeback in the future, in addition to Gaochang and other countries in the west, Tuyuhun and Tubo in the south, and Goguryeo in the northeast, etc., although the strength of these countries is not as good as the Turks, it is likely to take advantage of the new establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the exhaustion of the military strength to take advantage of my Datang, so we must not be guarded!" ”

In the era of advanced information in later generations, Li Xiu's insights were not surprising at all, but in an era like Datang, where the flow of information was not smooth, many ordinary people only knew what was happening around them all their lives, and they didn't know anything about things hundreds of miles away, so he was able to analyze the general trend of the world so clearly, which also surprised the three of them, especially Li Xiu's eyes were no longer focused on the domestic Datang, but on the surrounding areas of Datang, which was really shocking.

"I'm not even twenty years old, and I have such a vision, and those sons of my family are so much worse than my nephews!" The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and finally suddenly sighed in a low voice and said, he has always thought highly of himself, and there are very few people in the world who can enter his eyes, but he can't teach his son, and none of the dozen sons are decent, let alone compared with Li Xiu in front of him, which is also his most regretful thing.

"Li Xiu, although my Datang is new, but its military strength is strong, and even the Turks have been defeated by my Datang, do those small surrounding countries really dare to take risks and make trouble?" Qin Qiong suddenly put forward a different opinion at this time, he is a rare brave general, and he is also proficient in the art of war, but it is a pity that his knowledge of the general trend of the world is inferior, so he can only be a general, not a commander.

"Among the surrounding small countries, Gaochang and other countries in the northwest are too far away, don't worry about it for the time being, the three Goguryeo kingdoms in the northeast are full of internal contradictions, coupled with the former Sui San's expedition to Goguryeo, which made Goguryeo's strength decline greatly, don't worry about it for the time being, but Tuyuhun in the south has to be guarded against, if my guess is right, there may be some changes in the south recently, General Qin might as well remind King Qin to prepare early!" Li Xiu said with a light smile at this time.

He also thought of Tuyuhun just now, originally he didn't want to participate in the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but he thought of another thing, which made him take the initiative to remind him, and all this was prepared for him to pit a person!
