The situation was turbulent, and the Southern Sui ignored the disputes outside the country, and only cared about exterminating the bandits in various counties, in a sense, the Southern Sui has been recuperating.

The Tang Dynasty adopted the strategy of strengthening the country by war, and now there is a hidden trend of the world's hegemon, and the Southern Sui seems to be in a corner, barely on par with the strength of the Northern Sui, but Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others know that even if they start a war with the Tang Dynasty now, the Southern Sui will not have any fear. Therefore, including the eldest grandson Wuji, many people don't understand why Li Xuanba continues to forbear.

"The first emperor made many mistakes, but to guard against the Turks, Xuanba thought he was doing the right thing." The main hall is full of trustworthy people, Li Xuanba finished explaining the matter, and told his thoughts to the eldest grandson Wuji and others: "You should know very well that the Great Sui is declining, and the Empress Dowager and Princess Yicheng can no longer control the thoughts of the Turks, if the Central Plains continues to be chaotic, the Turks are very likely to put aside Liu Wuzhou and others, and directly wave their troops to the south, facing the powerful Turks, the Central Plains will really be scorched earth." ”

Zhang Xutuo and Li Jing and others hoped that the imperial court would fight, but they couldn't bear to see the people continue to be devastated by the war.

thought about it but didn't do it, this does not mean that Li Xuanba has no courage, on the contrary, it shows that Li Xuanba is really sensible. He did not explain the history of the Mongols' destruction of the Song Dynasty and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because the Wuhu Rebellion happened three hundred years ago, and they were as smart as Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, so they could naturally understand what Li Xuanba wanted to express.

"You care about that, others don't necessarily take this kind of thing to heart." The eldest grandson Wuji was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "If the Turks really go south, do you plan to use all the imperial court forces to resist the Turks?" ”

Southern Sui and Datang are only equal, the current strength of the Turks is much stronger than that of Southern Sui and Datang, if Li Xuanba takes advantage of the geographical advantage and the people to drive the Turks back to the grassland, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the fisherman and easily eliminate the Southern Sui. Even if the Tang Dynasty does not send troops for the sake of fame, in the face of the heirloom jade seal in Yang Tong's hands, how can Yang Gao give up?

"The Southern Sui did not move, and on the surface it coexisted peacefully with the Tang Dynasty, which in itself was a deterrent to the Turks." Li Xuanba shook his head and replied very seriously: "Xuanba will not be stupid to kill himself, the river is in the south, and the people who are really anxious are not us, if the Turks go south, someone will stand up and preside over the overall situation." ”

A few months ago, Liu Wuzhou suddenly attacked, captured Taiyuan, and faced the increasingly powerful Tang Dynasty, if Liu Wuzhou was not instructed by the Turks behind him, no one would believe it.

Taiyuan fell into the hands of the Turks, which means that the Turks have opened the door to the Central Plains, and they only need an opportunity to send tens of thousands of iron horsemen at any time to level the Central Plains.

The Tang Dynasty attacked Xue Ju and Xiao Miao, but ignored Luoyang, which was more prosperous and worth attacking; After Wang Shichong defeated the Wangang thieves, he only cared about attacking the several counties around Luoyang, and had no intention of going south or west, for them, the threat of the Turks was imminent, and they could not afford to make a mistake.

"Dade, Tang Guogong and King Zhao are jealous, it is the time for us to quell the rebellion, why do you say that the time has not come?" Fang Xuanling asked with a little puzzlement: "It is reported that the Tang Dynasty has begun to prepare to attack Taiyuan, once Taiyuan is recaptured by the Tang Dynasty, Tang Guogong and King Zhao will no longer be afraid, and at that time, Nan Sui will finally fight with them." ”

"Brother Xuanling, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui are afraid of the Turks, just because the Turks are too powerful, not because they are alien." Li Xuanba said too many words, his mouth was a little dry, he picked up the tea on the table, drank it all, and continued: "If the imperial court waves its army to the north, how can they care about whether it is the Turks or the soldiers of the Southern Sui who attack them? ”

In fact, there are some problems with Li Xuanba's words, because he himself is not Han, but Li Xuanba's ancestors have lived in the Central Plains for several generations and have already laid the brand of Han people.

Fang Xuanling and others have been committed to making the Southern Sui strong, ignoring the biggest threat to the Central Plains for thousands of years, and for them, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui were at war with the Turks, which was more conducive to the rise of the Southern Sui.

"Compared with being far-sighted, we are far from being far behind!" Hearing Li Xuanba's explanation, Wei Zheng sighed with emotion: "The first emperor would rather bear the name of the monarch of the fallen country than lead the Xiaoguo army to the north, which is indeed worthy of admiration!" ”

"Brother Xuancheng praises falsely." Li Xuanba smiled and continued: "Actually, Xuanba is unwilling to act recklessly, it is really a helpless move, presumably several brothers have already guessed Xuanba's so-called timing. ”

Talking about it now, if Wei Zheng and the others still don't understand what Li Xuanba means, then they will be very sorry for their reputation in later generations. However, understanding does not mean agreeing, especially Li Xuanba's idea is really unbelievable.

"The imperial court wants to face the Turks, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui Dynasty at the same time without falling behind, if your idea is known to others, they will definitely think you are crazy." The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to come to his senses, and there was a faint smile on his face, giving people the feeling that he had been persuaded by Li Xuanba.

"There is always an ideal, what if it is realized?" Li Xuanba laughed happily, he liked this feeling of being recognized, especially by a character like the eldest grandson Wuji.

When Li Xuanba followed Yang Tong to Jiangdu, who would have thought that in just over a year, Southern Sui would become so powerful, and no one would have thought that Southern Sui, which originally had only a few counties, would become a big country that did not care about any power.

The counties of Hebei have become the land of the Southern Sui, Xu Shiji is secretly recovering the old Wagang department, if he can eliminate Shen Faxing and persuade Xiao Milling, then the strength of the Southern Sui will be doubled! And most of the land south of the Yangtze River will be planted with the banner of the Southern Sui!

"Surrendering without a fight has been the best strategy for using soldiers since ancient times, and now it seems that you have mastered the true meaning of the art of war." The eldest grandson Wuji praised it very seriously, stood up, and arched his hand: "Wuji agrees with Dade's decision." ”

Xiao Mo is desperate, coupled with the self-confident appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling are not worried about the situation in Jiangling, as for Shen Faxing, he is like meat on the chopping board at this time, and sooner or later he will be swallowed by Nansui, and Wujun, Yuhang and other places basically belong to Nansui's bag.

"Since the son has made up his mind, Xuan Ling obeys his orders." Fang Xuanling's reaction was slightly slower than that of Eldest Sun Wuji, but he also figured out the key to Li Xuanba's plan, followed Eldest Sun Wuji to stand up, and said: "This time to Wu County, Xuanling will definitely make Shen Faxing more interesting!" ”

"Then it's hard Brother Xuanling." Li Xuanba returned the salute and said with a smile: "He's okay to be knowledgeable, otherwise in the spring of next year, the soldiers of the imperial court will not be able to move their muscles." (To be continued.) )
