Her words made Fang Zhilan hesitate again.

As a civil official from a family, she is actually very disgusted with the war, especially now that it is only a short time away from the troubled times of the previous dynasty.

I can also know from the mouths of many old people that the dark age of war and disaster.

How long have the people of the Yu Dynasty been stable?

"The emperor wants to fight?"

Seeing her appearance, Huo Junyao knew what she was thinking, lifted the teapot from the side and poured her a cup of tea, and poured herself another cup.

"It's not good to go to war, but some wars have to be fought."

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the Turks in the north, what does the second sister-in-law think of these people?"

Fang Zhilan, who had just taken a sip of tea, blurted out almost without any consideration.

"Wolf ambition is heinous."

Although Fang Zhilan has lived a stable life since she was a child, it does not prevent her from seeing from other people's mouths or books the evil things that some northern ethnic groups have done in the Central Plains.

Also not far from their Yu Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, when the rulers of the Central Plains court were weak, the northern ethnic groups attacked the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting on the land of the Central Plains.

There are no people for hundreds of miles, and it is said that tens of millions of people in the Central Plains were killed at that time, and only a few million remained.

The cold words in the history books are not as good as the facts.

At the beginning of the founding of the Yu Dynasty, there were still two anti-king forces in the country, and the Northern Turks came to attack again, which was really the key to the survival of the Yu Dynasty.

But fortunately, the Turks did not attack in a big way, but only extorted the countless wealth of the Yu Dynasty, and even the reigning Emperor Taishang humiliated a princess and relatives, and only briefly let the Turks retreat.

In the years that followed, the Turks would press the border every year and force the Yu Dynasty to give money, and for a full ten years, the Turkic bastards took countless money in the Yu Dynasty.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Yu Dynasty is so poor, in the first decade, the Turks once again overwhelmed the border and tried to extort money, but the Yu Dynasty court, which had calmed down the domestic situation, was not threatened by them this time.

Instead, he directly sent Dingguo Gong Li Jiujun to take command, and Ningguo Gong Cheng Yong was the vanguard, and he taught the Turks a lesson, although the battle was fierce, but the price paid by the Turks in the north was not small.

Since then, the Turks have not dared to overwhelm the border with large armies, but every year there will be large and small rangers who will do evil on the border.

It can be said that the Turks are the enemies of the entire Yu Dynasty.

"That's right, let's talk about Tuyuhun and Tubo, these two are not good stubble, and they are also eyeing us."

"The second sister-in-law has been doing business all this time, she should have seen the Western Regions Trade Route during the Kyushu period, right?"

Fang Zhilan nodded again and again, of course she knew that the Kyushu Dynasty had relied on this road to gather a lot of wealth from outside the Western Regions.

It's just that with the decline of the Kyushu Dynasty and the change of times, the latter trade route was directly cut off, and it has not been opened again until now.

"If the Yu Dynasty wants to develop, it is definitely not enough to rely on the wealth of the country, and the money of the country is just so little, and it will not come out more."

"Although it is stable, it is far from enough to be strong, even if you add the Turks, it is not enough."

"Therefore, Tuyuhun and Tubo must be defeated, only in this way can the trade route be restarted, so that the Yu Dynasty can obtain wealth from farther away, and the Western Regions is a good place, there are many grain seeds that we can't see in the Central Plains."

"Some good seeds don't work any way below corn potatoes."

"I can understand it, the emperor can naturally understand it, and even Uncle Fang should know it in his heart, but the development of the Yu Dynasty was not good at the beginning, but the situation of the Yu Dynasty has been getting better over the years."

"Look, it won't be long before the Turks will be beaten."

Fang Zhilan nodded, listening to Huo Junyao say so much, she also understood some of Emperor Zhaowu's plans.

Indeed, if there is really a large-scale foreign conquest, it is better to stabilize the country.

The crown prince and the king of Qi have been moving more and more over the years, making the current court a little smoky, full of factions, and looking for trouble with each other.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed not suitable for external attacks, and if some people think carefully and do things in some things, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She didn't doubt the courage of these people at all, especially the crown princes, these guys now only wanted to be on the throne, if they could really kill them with one blow, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity, even if they knew that doing so could bring serious consequences, they would take risks.

I have to say that Huo Junyao's analysis still has some truth.

Emperor Zhaowu has looked at the constantly filling treasury in the past two years, and his thoughts of foreign conquest have long been ready to move.

He has been on the throne for almost ten years, and now although the people of the Yu Dynasty live a happy life, these exploits really cannot be completely regarded as his own, as an emperor, he is very eager to make a little of his own merits.

The first thing he targeted was the Turks, and the fight against the Turks was not only to take revenge, but also because the Turks were natural horse farms.

Only by defeating the Turks can they continue to gain the strength of war horses to strengthen their armies.

In this era of cold weapons, the lethality of cavalry is just now, why the Central Plains Dynasty has always had a headache for the northern nomads, and the lack of enough war horses is one of the main reasons.

Therefore, if you want to attack a larger territory, war horses are indispensable.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu asked Gao Fu to take out the maps around the Yu Dynasty and began to study them himself.

It's quiet on his side, but the capital isn't quiet at all.

Especially in the East Palace, there has been no smile on the prince's face during this time, and the money he finally grabbed is gone, not to mention, more than ten people have died.

The thing that made him most angry was that he suddenly received news today that the shares in Lao Zhang's hand had been bought.

Originally, Lao Li's had already been bought, and now Lao Zhang's is gone.

He worked hard for more than a month but got nothing, and even lost such a big person, and then remembered that his father said earlier that he and the king of Chu took out 20,000 yuan alone.

Although it will not be solved later, he knows very well in his heart that once the matter is found out, his trouble will be even greater.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will not only be reprimanded, but I will also pay 20,000 yuan in compensation.

As for saying that his money has been robbed, who knows if he has been robbed or not?

"Haven't you found out who did it?"

That's right, until now, the prince has not investigated who killed others, robbed him of his money, and set fire to the courtyard.

Of course, he directly targeted the King of Qi and the King of Chu, but after investigating these days, he didn't find any clues at all.

"The subordinates are incompetent."

"You are really incompetent, you are alone to give you two days, if you can't find anyone, you don't have to come back."
