Chapter six hundred and seventy third Weihe Pavilion debate
Li Heng quickly stood up from the desk and came to Li Siye and said with joy on his face: "Li Heng is waiting for the doctor here. I didn't expect that after we said goodbye last year, I feel that you have lost a lot of weight when I saw the doctor today. There are many winds and sands in the Western Regions.
, you get cold easily, so I specially asked my concubine to make you a fox fur cloak, hoping to help the doctor fight in the yellow sands of the Western Regions."
The prince's repeated wooing behavior was quite touching when he used it once, but after two or three times, it felt like the same thing. This was the problem with Li Heng. He gave favors too frequently that it became a problem.
The beginning. Of course, Li Siye just kept his thoughts in his heart and repeatedly showed his pretty good acting skills.
He knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands and said gratefully: "Your Highness has treated me so kindly, and I feel a sense of inheritance in my heart. I cannot repay Your Highness's kindness."
"Doctor Li, please get up quickly."
He helped Li Siye up with both hands, took his left hand to the pavilion, took a cup of warm wine from the table, and handed it to Li Siye.
Li Siye took the wine cup, held it in both hands, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Doctor, please sit down."
The two of them sat in front of the table, and Taoist priest Li Mi also came to the pavilion. The three of them sat behind the long table, raised their wine cups and toasted to Li Siye, saying: "Last year, Dr. Li launched his army from Shule Town in Anxi on an expedition.
Bo Lu, led the troops to capture Qunu, the capital of North India. It is really gratifying. The general's achievements can be described as complete. But..."
"But what?"
Li Siye secretly thought that Li Mi, a young Taoist priest back then, had also learned the persuasive skills of suppressing things before promoting things.
"The general is in charge of the three areas of Beiting and Anxi in Hebei Province, and his control has reached thousands of miles away. When he captured Xiaobolu, he created and expanded the Gui Ren Army, when he captured the Nine Kingdoms in Hezhong, he created and expanded the Yonghui Army, and when he captured Tuhuo Luo, he created the Longshuo Army. The power of the military
Sheng Yuan reached outside the territory, but it also made Anbeiting have too many enemies. Now it has set up military towns in northern India. I am afraid that because the area is too wide, it will weaken Anbeiting's military strength. It is really not worth the loss."
Li Siye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Mi came today to criticize him. Of course, this must not only be his own intention, or it may not be his intention at all, but these words were asked on behalf of the prince Li Heng. The tool man really hit the mark.
"Li Daizhao does not need to worry about his inheritance. I have informed the sage, and the sage has agreed to recruit 20,000 soldiers from the Central Plains to fill the North Court of An. In this way, the troops mobilized will be enough to handle the following areas."
Li Bi shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I am worried about, doctor. Where is North India? It is the birthplace of Buddha. When Xuanzang went to seek scriptures, he traveled tens of thousands of miles and took two years to arrive. Now General
What benefit does sending troops to occupy this place bring to our country, the Tang Dynasty? It just disperses our troops in vain."
Li Siye did not want to argue with Li Mi, and he did not understand his strategy at all. Of course, he was not looking down on Li Mi. Although this man devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, he had traveled thousands of miles and dabbled in many things over the years, and his growth rate was astonishing. He was no longer
Li Mi, who led the Jing'an Division despite repeated setbacks but became more determined, was a strategist with outstanding wisdom who could assist the emperor in understanding the situation in the world. But the world he called was just a world dominated by the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
The traditional geographical map of Liaodong, Hexi Corridor, and the Western Regions, the situation he analyzed was also based on this world.
But the world is a little too small for Li Siye. As the place of the Four World Wars, Central Asia has experienced many changes in current affairs. If he can control this place, he can rely on the fertile South Asian subcontinent to support the Tocharian soldiers in the river to prevent the great food.
.
He wanted to find a way to permanently integrate the Western Region and Central Asia into the Chinese system, prevent the Great Food Sect from invading this thousand-mile land, and let India, this fertile gem, forever become a warehouse for supplying materials to the Central Plains. etc.
Anxi Beiting can stand on its own, and even if the Central Plains is in chaos, Anxi can continue to operate by relying on its own advantages. Even if Anxi Beiting breaks away from the imperial court one day and becomes a member of the vassal towns in chaos all over the world.
Even if only the vassal town is left to operate independently, the North Court of Anxi will definitely fall into the hands of the Han people, and some Turks, Semites from the Arabian Peninsula, and Aryans will never be allowed to wreak havoc here.
While the place he is staying in is still the most prosperous in thousands of years, he can still rely on the wealth of the Central Plains for a while, but once this glorious era is over, they will never have the opportunity to create miracles here.
.
Li Siye shook his head and said: "You have never been to Anxi, you have never been to the river, and you have never been to Tochara and North India. You have never seen the scenery and scenery there, and you have never observed the appearance there.
Li Shanhe, naturally does not understand why I want to garrison troops. If Li Daizhao has the opportunity, he can go and see it, and then refute me."
Li Mi waved the fly whisk and smiled: "What Doctor Li said just now makes people swallow their words without understanding the meaning, but Li Mi can refute it. No matter how delicate and beautiful the mountains and rivers of North India you say, or how rich the resources are, it can be compared to those far away."
Is the Central Plains in the east as rich as the land of plenty in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River?"
"Of course it can be compared." Li Siye's answer surprised Li Mi. Of course, he had never thought that the beauty of mountains and rivers could surpass his own land. Li Siye reiterated again: "The land in the entire north and south of Tianzhu is fertile and has few mountains.
It is also far more fertile than the Central Plains, even though this place has a group of pampered exotic pigs."
"Even so, General Li is stationed in such a far place, and you yourself are in Hexi. If there are changes in the Central Plains in the future, even if the doctor has many arms, he will not be able to take care of all sides. The land that Doctor Li has occupied will also be lost due to the
The imperial court was flawless and went to the west to make wedding clothes for others."
Li Siye was silent for a moment. He could not refute what Li Mi said. When the Central Plains was stable and the country was strong, he could rest easy no matter where he led his troops. But once war broke out in the Central Plains, it would take ten years. The span of the Three Kingdoms even reached a century.
, after experiencing such a war, when the time comes to return with troops, the original place may become a paradise for the enemy.
He thought about it carefully, looked up and replied with a sense of vicissitudes: "Li Daizhao, I have never thought of going so far. Besides, the situation in the world is the most volatile and unpredictable. If I consider it within ten years, I will not regret taking the land in northern India."
."
Li Mi wanted to speak again, but the prince held out his hand to stop him. Li Heng held up his hands and said vaguely: "Garrisoning troops and fighting are inevitable. Today is just to say goodbye to the heirs and not to talk about military and political matters."
He held the wine cup with both hands and toasted the prince with wine. At this time, the sky was already dark, and he took the initiative to cross his hands and said to the prince: "I am grateful to your majesty for hosting a banquet here for me, but there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Siye has to say goodbye.
Please take care of yourself, Prince."
The three of them walked out of the pavilion side by side. The entourage pulled the horse for Li Siye. He got on the horse and held the whip in his hand. He said goodbye to the two people standing outside the pavilion again: "Your Highness, I am going. I may meet you again next year. I hope your Highness can stay relaxed."
, our most difficult moment is over."
Li Heng's heart was agitated after hearing this, as if a warm current rushed from the bottom of his heart to his head. Yes, he had waited for fifteen years under Li Linfu's cold hostility. Although it is still slim now, the pressure and threats Yang Guozhong gave him
Far inferior to Li Linfu. The most difficult stage has been passed, and now it’s time to enjoy the results.
The cavalry of the Jiedushi of the three towns left far away. The prince was still standing in the pavilion with Li Mi looking into the distance. He looked at the distant Lie Lie banner and suddenly said with interest: "I have a vague feeling that the reason why Li Siye occupied northern India was not us."
As he thought, he must have a higher-level reason."
