Chapter 172 (1/2)
Li Hong believed that through the mouths of these merchants, what happened here today will soon spread in the western regions and the Central Plains. Moreover, for those who were conquered by the Tang Dynasty, the people of the small countries in the western regions might have some positive effects, which would make them feel proud of being Tang people.
However, Li Hong was not sure whether it would have an impact. However, he would try his best to use these merchants to spread the iron and blood hegemony of the Tang Dynasty and his determination to love the people.
In this era, businessmen who have traveled from place to place are equivalent to the media of the previous life. They are mobile microphones. Anything passing through their mouths will spread quickly, and they will also have more mysterious colors and their own implicit sense of superiority.
Yuan Shuji looked at Li Hong's firm eyes, and finally, with a horizontal heart, according to Li Hong's intention, all five people fell from the head of Yumen pass into the sky.
The cold air swept over the city in an instant, which made kashim wake up from the pain.
Li Hong's voice came down from their heads: ”enjoy the cool night, I hope you can survive one night.”
Yuan Shuji frowned. Now he felt that his heart was heavy. I'm afraid he had to report this matter to the higher authorities. Otherwise, if the young prince's highness is allowed to make such a fuss, something will happen one day.
”Are you worried that big food in white will retaliate?” Li Hong stepped on the steps step by step and asked.
”Well, to be honest, daduhu is really worried.” Yuan Shuji said frankly.
Li Hong looked at the cold moon and sighed. Then he breathed out a breath of white heat and murmured: ”after the Western Turks were conquered by the Tang Dynasty, but the little Khan ashinu of the West Turks went to Tibet. Yuan Shuji, why do you think this is?”
Yuan Shuji didn't understand what Li Hong meant. He thought about the next time and said, ”because our Tang Dynasty destroyed their country, so he attached himself to Tubo?”
”Tell me, then, why did Tuvalu want to restore his country after he was conquered by me, but in the end he attached himself to the white food?” Li Hong continued to ask.
Yuan Shuji doesn't have to think about this time. The reason lies in that, who knows that the white clothes food is very powerful now. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the white clothes food can directly threaten them. However, the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away. If you want to rely on it, you should depend on it.
Without waiting for yuan Shuji to answer, Li Hong went on to say: ”so, only when you become very strong, your enemy will be in awe of you. As long as you show a strong side, your enemy will give you respect. If you are weak, your enemies will treat you as a mean creature, and will not give you any equality. Tuhuoluo is weak, and big food in white is strong. Therefore, it is attached to Dashi. The Tang Dynasty is equally powerful, but Datang is also easy to fool. It is as powerful as a fool. As long as they get benefits from us, they will turn over their faces and refuse to recognize people, and are ready to give you a fatal knife in your back at any time. ”
Accompanied by Yuan Shuji, Li Hong returned to his bed, stood at the door and looked at him. He said: ”only when the enemy is in awe of you, and only when the enemy is afraid of you can you really conquer them. If they fail to fear the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their heart, they will never submit to the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. They will always think of independence and restoration of the country By all means. As the saying goes, to kill a man, one must first kill his heart; to kill his country, he must first destroy his writing. ”
Looking at Yuan Shuji, Li Hong narrowed his eyes and continued: ”killing his Khan is just killing them for an era, and they will emerge other Khan. If we destroy their culture and use our culture to educate and moralize them, that is the real extermination and the real rule! So, the people of the Ministry of rites, the Imperial College, and the Honglu temple have nothing to do every day in the court. They are always staring at me to do bad things. It's better to send them all here and let them come here to carry forward our Tang culture. We can spread some of them to countries like Zhaowu Jiuxing, Shiguo, Kangguo, Gaochang and kuizi. In this way, they are the seeds and spirits of the Tang Dynasty It is far more powerful to control them mentally than to use force. But there is a prerequisite, that is, first you have to conquer them by force! Let them give us a chance to use our culture to destroy their families. ”
”Thank you, Dadu, for your instruction. Yuan Shuji will keep it in mind.” A trace of loyalty flashed on Yuan Shuji's face.
He knew that the prince's highness stood in the cold wind and told himself such a long speech that he hoped that he, and even other border army generals of the Tang Dynasty, could understand the significance of the Tang Dynasty's expedition.
”Thank you very much for your teaching. It's better to listen to your words than to study hard for ten years. I'm afraid students will not be able to understand such a penetrating philosophy even if they study hard for another ten years. ” Some tender voices came from Yuan Shuji.
”Still up? I have to go tomorrow. ” Li Hong looked at them and said.
Yao Chong and Huan yanfan walked up to Li Hong, and after the ceremony, they said, ”Mr. Hui, it's the first time for me to come to Yumen pass. I'm a little excited, so I put off my sleepiness and turned around casually. I don't want to be here to listen to the true meaning of your husband.”
”Don't flatter me. It won't be easy for you two to follow me all the way. I hope you two can survive the hard times in the future.” Li Hong waved to Yuan Shuji to go back, then looked at Yao Chong and said to Huan yanfan.”Sir, you can bear it as a thousand gold. We should be able to bear it.” After spending more than a month with Huan Yan fan and Li Hong, Yao Chong is no longer as rigid as before.
”Well, let's make it a deal. How about sharing difficulties?” Li Hong said carefully.
