Yu Wei sat next to Tang Zhou again, but this time his attitude was much better. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As a man, especially as a military general, he especially admires capable people, as long as it is the person he admires, everything is naturally negotiable.

Tang Zhou's expression also improved a little at this time, and he poured Yu Wei a cup of tea, as if what happened just now had not happened at all.

"Lord Yu, why is this Hezhou City in the fortress of the Silk Road, but it has become such a field?"

Yu Wei looked at the cup of tea and smiled bitterly: "Little Hou Ye doesn't know, although this Hezhou City is the fortress of the Silk Road, it is also a place where soldiers must fight, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there has been no peace here, although the situation of the Tang Dynasty has improved over the years, but it is not as peaceful as imagined." ”

"Oh, why is that, please tell me more about it."

Yu Wei nodded and said: "That's the case, Hezhou City is adjacent to Tuyuhun and the party, although they surrender to my Datang, but they have not planned to my Datang, and the saints can't free up their hands now, if they can free up their hands, they will be wiped out long ago, they also know this, so the relationship with my Datang often changes, and there will be some friction from time to time." ”

"This Hezhou city is like a hand choking the throat of the Silk Road, everyone wants to control these hands, so there are often wars here, although the merchants are profit-seeking, but also heavy lives, if the life is gone, what to do with so much money, so there has never been a businessman who will stay here for a long time, so this place will not prosper."

How can there be prosperity without people?

After Tang Zhou heard Yu Wei's words, he already understood a little, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty today is ambitious and wants to annex the four seas, and small countries such as Tuyuhun and Dangxiang are also on his hunting list, but they are relatively close to the Tang Dynasty, and they are sandwiched between the countries of Tubo or the Western Regions.

Keeping Tuyuhun and the party can be used as a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and other countries, and let them help resist the Tubo ministries first.

It's just that Tuyuhun and Dang Xiang are not stupid, how can they not see Datang's intentions?

So like Tuyuhun, although he is already a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, he still wants to be disobedient from time to time, and as for the party, it is even more so.

The party was also the Western Xia, who later supervised the country, and they were still only a tribe at this time, and the reason why their tribe was able to survive among the great powers and finally build a country in the Northern Song Dynasty was because they were fickle.

Whoever gives benefits listens to whomever they want, and when they face danger, they immediately give in, everything they do is just to survive, and as long as they survive, they have the opportunity to become strong.

In fact, that's how they slowly grew stronger.

For Datang, Tuyuhun may not be terrible, what is really terrible is the kind of person who is good at two-faced, saying one thing and doing another, such as party items.

Yu Wei's words make sense, and this problem is not easy to solve, no one can predict what Tuyuhun or the party thinks, as long as this is still a place where soldiers must fight, as long as there will be wars here from time to time, then it is impossible for this place to become an oasis on the Silk Road.

After understanding what was going on, Tang Zhou didn't continue to ask, he couldn't solve this problem, so he could only ignore it, he glanced at Yu Wei, and shook his head a little worthlessly.

Such a simple thing, you just said it earlier, wouldn't there be no pain in breaking your arm if you said it?

Tang Zhou shook his head, and then said goodbye and went to the post house to rest, Yu Wei watched Tang Zhou leave, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that this little marquis is really unpredictable, when he is ruthless, he is really ruthless, but when he is not ruthless, it makes people feel a little cute.

-------------------------------

Hezhou City will be the last Tang City where Tang Zhou and Princess Wencheng stopped, and after leaving Hezhou City, they will go directly to the territory of Tubo.

So according to Princess Wencheng's meaning, she hopes to stay here for a few more days, and many of the things they need must also be prepared, after entering the territory of Tubo, they will encounter a desert, they don't know if they will have the opportunity to buy these daily necessities before entering the desert.

Princess Wencheng's words were orders, Tang Zhou had to obey them whether he wanted to listen to them or not, and he understood the feelings of a woman who was married far away, so they decided to stop in Hezhou City for a few more days.

Moreover, many things in Hezhou City are relatively scarce, and if they want to buy the necessary supplies, they must wait for merchants to pass by.

And in the few days that they stayed in Hezhou City, Tang Zhou would go to Yu Wei from time to time and ask him not to be too negative, since this Hezhou City is a hand holding the Silk Road, and it is a very important chess piece for Li Shimin, he must protect it, otherwise if he loses it, he will wait to be imprisoned.

Tang Zhou deceived and coaxed, which frightened Yu Wei, so he asked Tang Zhou what to do, Tang Zhou was idle and bored, so he told Yu Wei some information.

There are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Hezhou City, and in addition to protecting Hezhou City, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are not lost, and then there is that this place is very close to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and there may be war at any time.

However, the five thousand Tang elites say that it is not much, and it is not much to say less, in the face of an enemy twice as large as them, they may not feel anything, but if it is several times more, it is another matter.

The Tang Dynasty is famous, and there are garrisons in other places, but far water can't save the near fire, so many times if you want to make Hezhou City safer, you have to rely on yourself.

And the method that Tang Zhou taught Yu Wei was to build grain and build walls.

Needless to say, if there is an enemy besieging the city, as long as the food is enough, they can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

As for the high repair wall, Tang Zhou also saw the city wall of Hezhou City when he came, which was mottled, and he doubted whether such a wall could withstand the enemy, so he suggested that Yu Wei thicken and heighten the city wall, so as to ensure that Hezhou City was foolproof.

In the face of Tang Zhou's suggestions, Yu Wei felt that Guangtun grain was good, how could they defend the city if they didn't eat, but he didn't agree with the high repair wall.

It costs money to repair the wall, but they are such a down-and-out place, where is the money to repair the wall? Moreover, there are only tens of thousands of people here, if they are levied as conscripts, what if they run away, this Hezhou city will become an empty city.

Therefore, in the face of Tang Zhou's suggestion to repair the wall, Yu Wei shook his head and expressed no interest.

Seeing Yu Wei like this, Tang Zhou was a little helpless, he talked a lot to Yu Wei, but when this guy heard that he wanted to spend money, he just refused, sometimes he really suspected that it was not that Hezhou City had no money, but that Yu Wei was too picky and too miser.

However, he Tang Zhou is just a passerby, Yu Wei doesn't want to repair the wall, what can he do?
