Chapter 359: False Discussion (1)

In addition to the box of seafood, Yan Yan also ordered people to catch a lot of river shrimp, crucian carp and poutfish from his own pool to barbecue and eat, in addition, he also prepared some mutton and pork belly, and also pulled some edamame beans from the ground to roast to eat.

Because Yan Yan prepared a complete set of seasonings, in addition to cumin, there are also self-made five-spice powder and salt and pepper, so this meal is also relatively chic.

After the meal, Yan Yan prepared tea and left a few guests to drink tea, during which Yan Yan took the initiative to ask about the news of the prince and others.

According to Li Zhen, because in addition to inspecting the military situation along the way, they may also have to measure the terrain and landforms to make a sand table, so the foot of Lu Duan and his entourage was not fast, and it took two months to reach the border, according to their own predictions, it is estimated that it will take another month to investigate at the border, and after the inspection, they will go to Dajin to meet the Jurchen Khan.

In other words, I am afraid that they will still be on the border or have just left the border, and it is estimated that it will take a month from the border to Dajin at the earliest, so it will be two months before they can know the outcome of their negotiations with the Jurchens at the earliest.

"I took a look at the map, and it seems that our people need to borrow the Khitan to see the Jurchens, will there be any changes in the middle?" Yan Yan asked.

For such a long time, someone revealed the news of the prince's trip, and the Khitan knew the news, so it was hard to say that he would not be moved.

"This?" Yan Peng stroked his beard.

In fact, he also thought of this, and it was also an important reason why he did not approve of the prince's entourage.

But speaking of this, Yan Peng remembered another thing, "Yan'er, what idea did you give the prince at the beginning?" Originally, we people didn't approve of the prince accompanying him, but he didn't say that you gave a clever plan. ”

"Where is there any real clever plan, just lend him two people to see if I can help him at a critical time." After speaking, Yan Yan took the initiative to divert the topic and talked about Lu You's strategy.

Li Zhi heard that it was related to the war and the rest of the army in Fanbang, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

In fact, if possible, no one wants to start a war, and no one wants to have a war, after all, the pain caused by the war is too great, the front line is a mountain of white bones, the rear is the people are struggling to make a living, there is hunger everywhere and barrenness everywhere, even if Li Sui has not experienced it with his own eyes, he has seen it in books and heard about it from the mouths of his elders, so no one wants to live this kind of life.

But the problem is that sometimes it's really not good if you don't fight, others are bullied to the doorstep, and blindly retreating and tolerating will only make the other party worse, and in the end you still have to fight hard.

Rather than this, it is better to prepare for war at the beginning and face the battle early, maybe you can win a head start.

"It's okay to say that these small countries in the south are more troublesome, but the nomads in the north are more troublesome, and they haven't lived in peace all these years, so it's just wishful thinking for us to want to be friendly with our neighbors." Yan Peng said with emotion.

He didn't want a war even more, because once the war with the Liao State started, Western Xia would also have to be involved, and he would definitely have to go to the front line in person, and he had never really been on the battlefield at all these years, and had only participated in a few small-scale bandits.

"The second brother doesn't know the situation in the south very well, those barbarians are even more difficult to deal with, they are witches and miasma and all kinds of poisonous insects, sometimes people don't know why they are gone." Yun Ze shook his head and said.

"Uncle Cousin is saying that South Vietnam is starting to stir up trouble again?" Yan Yan asked hurriedly.

She knew that the original owner's father had died in the jungles of South Vietnam, and that he had died from a poisoned arrow, which is why she cared so much.

As far as she knows, although the father of the original owner is dead, he has also taken several cities in Nanyue before, at least the areas of Lingnan, Zhangzhou, and Chenzhou have been incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou, and Nanyue has thus become a vassal state of the Great Zhou, and under normal circumstances, it should not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

Unless they know that the Great Zhou is going to war with the Liao State and want to take the opportunity to break away from the Great Zhou, it will be a bit troublesome.

"It's not good to say this for the time being, I heard that there are many rebellions in Lingnan, and the specific extent of the chaos is not very clear." Yun Ze replied.

"My father has really been worried about this recently, sister Yan'er, they all say that you read a lot of books, you can tell me, how can you consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and you can't just finish the war and continue to fight, right? That's too much work and money. Li Sui looked at Yan Yan and asked.

"Me?" Yan Yan waved his hand, "Although I have read some books, my age is here, and my experience and experience are insufficient, how dare I talk about such a big thing?" ”

The fact is also the same, even though she is from the next generation, but in the later life, she is just a student who has not yet left school, how can she understand these major events at the national level?

But Li Sui obviously didn't want to let her go, "How is this a nonsense?" Take a step back and say that even if it is a vain discussion, before your father and emperor dared to discuss the joint Khitan to destroy the Jurchens, why did you twist it in front of us? ”

"Yes, Yan'er, you just say a few words casually and we'll listen to them." Yan Peng was also curious, wanting to hear if this niece would have any more amazing words.

"Okay, if you have to force me to say it, I'll just say a few words." Yan Yan originally wanted to provoke this topic and let Lu You listen to other people's thoughts, but he knew that he had dug a hole for himself.

"In my humble opinion, the key to diplomatic relations between the two countries lies in two words, open and closed, which means to establish an open and orderly border market, which can communicate with each other and benefit each other; And closed means to close the door and live your own life at home, and the two sides do not interact with each other. ”

Next, Yan Yan started from the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned for 54 years, leveling Korea in the east, collecting the territory in the west, Nabaiyue in the south, expanding Mobei in the north, and the famous Zhang Qian envoy to the Western Regions and establishing the Silk Road for this purpose.

The significance of the Silk Road is to bring in rare things from the West, such as seeds, leather goods, spices, gems, etc., and to transport porcelain, tea, silk and other goods from the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the opening of the Silk Road not only promoted the economic ties between the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, but also promoted the cultural exchanges of the countries, and also strengthened the political ties between the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions.

This shows that there was no war and no aggression at that time.

Of course, these are all external, and they have also made great contributions to Emperor Wu of the Inner Han Dynasty, such as respecting Confucianism as orthodox scholarship, establishing the inspection system, valuing agriculture over commerce, and rectifying finances.

It's just that these have little to do with the war and the end of the war in Fanbang, so Yan Yan didn't mention it much.
