"The first way I said can only make Datang dominate for a hundred years, but it will not last long.

If the Tang Dynasty is weak, the other tribes will also become bigger and stronger, and at that time, there will be big problems.

The second way is to transform the Turkic territory into the core of the Tang Dynasty. ”

What do you say?

"Do you know what a core territory is, a non-core territory?"

Core territory, non-core territory, this concept is the first time Li Er has heard of it.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

The so-called core territory, that is, the territory that cannot be lost in the Central Plains in any case.

If the Turks really besieged Chang'an City back then, Chang'an City was breached, because Chang'an City was breached, and Datang only retreated to other places.

Let me ask you, if it were you, would you like to recover Chang'an City?

Oh, as soon as Li Er heard it, this little temper came up directly in an instant.

"Brother Xian, it is impossible for him Turkic to break through Chang'an City!"

Zhao Mu said that he was embarrassed for a while, who told him that the Turks would break through Chang'an City?

I'm just saying a hypothesis, do you know what a hypothesis is?

Uh, uh, uh.

Brother Xian, isn't it that when I heard you say this, my mood is a little irritable?

How could my Chang'an City be breached?

I'm talking about what ifs......

"Brother Xian, if there is such an if, my Datang will definitely take back Chang'an City at all costs."

"Tell me, why is that?"

"Because Chang'an City is the capital of my Tang Dynasty, if even the national capital is occupied by the enemy, what kind of face can we talk about?

So no matter what, Chang'an must be recovered. ”

"What if the Turkic territory of this campaign was all occupied and then lost?

If you were you, would you still do whatever it took to recover the Turkic territory? ”

This time Li Er thought about it, didn't answer immediately, thought seriously for a moment, and shook his head.

The Turkic bitter cold land, if it is lost, if it is lost, it will be lost, what can it be?

"Actually, that's the difference between core and non-core territories.

If the core territory is lost, we will take it back at all costs.

The loss of non-core territories is not particularly painful.

So this leads to the fact that we do not have a strong grip on the surrounding territories.

Why every rebellion, or invasion of the surrounding aliens, will invade the periphery of the Central Plains.

It's because everyone's thoughts are the same as yours, and they think that the surrounding territory is dispensable. ”

Ah, this?

So this is the second way I said, which is to make Turkic the core territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If they want to truly occupy it, they must completely digest the territory of their Turks.

This time, it was only their Turkic people who were exterminated, but their territory was not completely occupied.

After the Tang Dynasty left, the Turks were exterminated, and it would not be long before new tribes would take root in the north.

In less than a hundred years, they will become more and more powerful, and at that time, they will also pose a threat to our Central Plains.

Rather than that, why not find a way to capture the north and recover it completely?

Ah, virtuous brother, that's a bitter cold place!

"In the land of bitter cold, why can the Turks live, but we can't?

Not because of the bitter cold, but because there is no benefit mixed in with it.

Today's Datang is not allowed to eat beef, and that's because my Datang's cattle are strategic resources and have to be cultivated.

On the other hand, they Turkic people, beef and mutton can be arbitrary, and that is because they have a vast steppe.

If the Turks occupy it, the people of our Tang Dynasty will be allowed to enter the grassland, herd cattle and sheep, and develop animal husbandry.

You can transport these cattle and sheep to Datang to earn the difference, do you think there will be people who go to the bitter cold land of the northern Turks to develop in order to make money? ”

Li Er thought for a moment and nodded.

Through this method, the people were migrated to the Turks, and at the same time, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was transmitted there.

Isn't the Confucian family you are talking about spreading culture?

Confucian culture will spread throughout the Turks, and over time, won't the Turks become their core territory?

Zhao Mu's words, Li Er only felt deafening, he had never thought about these problems.

Hearing Brother Xian say this today, Li Er carefully calculated it in his heart, and the truth was really like this.

"Of course, what I said must also be the premise of the rapid population development of Yu Datang.

According to the current population of Datang, even the entire Central Plains is insufficient, how can it occupy the surrounding areas? ”

Datang wants to take off and develop, and there is a long way to go!

Li Er clenched his fists, is there a long way to go?

Even if there is a long way to go, I have to do this thing myself.

"That virtuous brother, those in the court, it has nothing to do with us, let's talk about something else,

Like what! ”

It's just that before I can say this, Zhuangzi's guards rushed in!

"Young master, there are a few people from outside Zhuangzi, it is the masters from Chang'an City before, who said that they came to visit the young master today!"

They are not like Li Er, after coming here, how can there be any rules?

went directly into the Zhuangzi to talk to his virtuous brother, but the other masters were in good order, according to the process.

If Zhao Gongzi was resting, there would also be guards who would pass the word, and they would go in person and go to the study to wait quietly.

When Li Er heard this, his brows furrowed, what are they doing here?

As soon as he heard that the guests were coming, Zhao Mu waved his hand and let them come in directly!

These people are also old acquaintances, and they just want to learn and learn.

"It's the young master."

About a moment, outside Zhaojiazhuang, several masters came here and saw Zhao Mu.

After confirming the eyes, Li Er looked up, only to feel that his whole person was not in a good mood.

Isn't this Kong Xian?

He Kong Xian is not staying in Chang'an City, what are you doing here for my virtuous brother?

Although he already knew, his previous purpose was to visit the virtuous brother.

But he's betting too much on this time, right?

Oh, and there's a living?

"I'll see Zhao Gongzi later."

Li Er gave a few of them a look, for fear that this Kong Xian would expose himself.

It's just that what I was worried about didn't happen.

On the way, the children of the Confucian family also told Kong Xian about these things.

Even if I see Your Majesty today, I will never reveal Your Majesty's identity.

If you say it, it will only make the master disgusted.

"Hahahaha

Brother Xian, I really didn't expect that your Zhuangzi today is still quite lively. ”

Li Er looked over again and shifted his gaze to other places.

"I'll see Zhao Gongzi later."

"Old man Kong Xian, I've seen Zhao Gongzi!"

"Who is this?"

"Zhao Gongzi, this is a person from my Kong family, according to the seniority, I have to call the eldest brother."

Li Er heard this, good guy, his old Li just finished telling him what happened in the court, how can he say that Cao Cao Cao will arrive?

I had a preconceived idea, and when I looked at him, I knew that this was a stubborn person,

It's a bit difficult to deal with people with stubborn ideas like this, but fortunately, it's not a big problem.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated."

"Thank you, Zhao Gongzi."

Sure enough, at first glance, he is a master, and his personality is different from that of other people.

If other people knew that they were from the Kong family, they would have already stood up excitedly, stepped forward and began to pat themselves on the back.

And now, people are sitting firmly in the appearance of Diaoyutai, and they really have strength.

If those who don't have the strength, no matter what your identity is, dare to do this, it is not in line with etiquette, and they will be spurned by everyone.

"I don't know how many people, what is the matter with coming to my Zhuangzi today, is it to borrow books again?"

"The books that Zhao Gongzi borrowed from Zhao Gongzi before have not yet been studied.

Back then, after we transcribed the Three Character Classic and other books, we sent them to Shandong, the eldest brother of my family.

I became interested in Zhao Gongzi and thought about coming over to visit in person.

It's just that the family side is busy, so my eldest brother didn't come for a long time.

No, I took the time to rush over when I was done, and asked me to wait for an introduction.

My eldest brother admired Zhao Gongzi's talent by 10 points, so I brought him over in a hurry and asked Zhao Gongzi to forgive me. ”
