"In this way, the most important opponent of the Tang Dynasty is Tubo now."

Li Ji asked someone to get a map and pointed to the southwest and said, "Tubo was bewitching the Wuzhao side and wanted to disrupt the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. However, because the road was inconvenient and the distance was too far, Lu Dongzan would not invest too much troops here, and it would not be worth the loss."

As soon as a famous general opened his mouth, he knew if there was any.

"In the Western Regions, if the Tubo people want to send troops, they can only take a detour to the Pamir Mountains."

Jia Ping'an got up and took a look. Cheng Zhijie flew over with a hidden weapon. He took it, but it was dried fruit.

Lao Cheng, you are still spoiled by your wife as a child!

"Sit down!" Cheng Zhijie looked cold, "Adults speak, the child will just listen."

Li Ji smiled and looked at Jia Ping'an, "It is a good thing for young people to be eager to achieve success, but they must be patient." He pointed to Tuyuhun and said, "Tubo detours from the Pamir Mountain to attack Anxi. The troops and food are difficult, and they must be transported for a long distance, which is too expensive. So the best way is to take down Tuyuhun and spy on our Hexi and Longyou, so that we can cut off the connection between Anxi and Chang'an at any time."

This is the strategy of Tubo. Li Ji said it now, as if he had seen it with his own eyes decades later.

"The Tubo people detoured the Pamir Mountains, and the Tang Dynasty was not afraid!"

Cheng Zhijie's fingers bypassed the Pamirs, and there were the four towns of Anxi.

"This road is around, our army is ready to fight, and the defense is the first. Then the government troops went out to Hexi to reinforce, and the Tubo people were in a dilemma."

Li Ji looked up, "So immigrating to Anxi must not stop. The more people in Anxi, the more stable the Tang people there are."

Liang Jianfang said: "A man in the Tang Dynasty is a warrior with a knife. If there are hundreds of thousands of people, what are you afraid of?"

Everyone nodded, and they all took it for granted.

Li Ji said: "Today's discussion..."

His fingers moved westward, looked up, and his expression was calm, "Da Tang Dynasty wants to continue westward?"

Keep fighting?

A young general stood up and said, "Duke of England should fight. There is Dashi there. If Dashi defeats Dashi... he will never be able to fight in this world."

Do you think you are lonely and desperate for defeat?

Jia Ping'an remained silent and listened to these people expressing their opinions.

"Xiao Jia!"

Li Ji finally called his name.

Jia Ping'an stood up and pointed at Dashi and said, "This is a powerful country."

Dashi is not a weak person.

"Everyone, it's not a good thing to just expand."

When Jia Ping'an saw someone sneering, he sneered.

I'm in a bad mood, I'll deal with you if I'm joking.

The general stood up and said, "Goryeo is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty. The Turks survived and only one Tubo was left. But as long as the Tang Dynasty stared at Tuyuhun, Tubo could do only a limited amount. Where can I put a powerful army like this? Will it cost money and food in vain?"

He swung his fist and said excitedly: "Dang Tang should take this opportunity to fight out until he is invincible."

I want to do it too!

But it's not realistic now!

The general looked at Jia Ping'an provocatively.

Is this going to argue with me?

When I was a keyboard warrior, your bones had already decayed.

Jia Ping'an said in a deep voice: "The Western Regions cannot be controlled, and the power of Tochar and other places is mixed... That place is very complicated, and then it will be Dashi. Even if it is captured, how can we control it in the future? Restrictions?"

He slapped his desk a few times, and his eyes widened, "Just fight for a place of restraint?"

"Why can't you control it?"

"How to control?" Jia Ping'an wanted to curse, "Those places... to put it simply. I went to Kucha this time. Kucha was defeated by the Tang Dynasty when he was the late emperor. But to this day, there are still people in Kucha who want to rebel. This is because there are garrisons in the Tang Dynasty. If there are no garrisons, I would bet that if the garrisons are withdrawn today, there will be ambitious tomorrow..."

The lessons in history of this kind are too profound. For example, Jiaozhi in later generations has caused the Ming Dynasty to be overwhelmed and eventually give up.

"Why can't we garrison troops in Dashi!"

Damn, I'm thinking about this before I can make up my mind.

"How far is Dashi from the Tang Dynasty?"

Jia Ping'an knew very well, "The Tang Dynasty was stationed in Dashi, thousands of miles away from Chang'an. How to control it? Once it started... do you know that it could never stop. The Tang Dynasty either perished in the war or continued to fight, unable to stop..."

Once the chariot is started, it will be too late to brake again.

Li Ji and others listened calmly.

What else do you want to say?

Jia Ping'an bent his fingers and tapped on the map, his eyes filled with inquiries.

The general's face was a little red, "According to what you said, shouldn't the Tang Dynasty attack?"

This is the current period of doubt in the Tang Dynasty's foreign strategy.

How to fight, where to fight...

"Why don't you fight?" Jia Ping'an pointed to Dashi and said, "When the Tang Dynasty fully controlled Anxi, the small states in the Western Regions were in panic, which would lead Tubo and Dashi to fight..."

"You mean...wait for work?"

The general understood Jia Ping'an's meaning, "You are not opposing the attack, you just want to consolidate the existing land. Those opponents will take the initiative to attack..."

You finally understand!

In history, when the Tang Dynasty's rule in Anxi became more and more stable, those small countries began to panic and then colluded with Tubo to attack Anxi... This is the rhythm of the future.

"Anxi controlled the commercial route, and the Tang Dynasty gained benefits from it. If Tubo wants to develop, the only direction is the Western Regions, so there will be a long war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo in the Western Regions..."

Jia Ping'an said in his heart: Hundred Years' War!

But I'm here, it won't take a hundred years!

"How far is it from Chang'an to Anxi? How far is it to Dashi?"

Jia Ping'an felt that the generals not only need to have the ability to fight, but also have a global vision, "How to deliver supplies? How to arrive reinforcements? The price of the way... Ask the Ministry of Revenue, what may the Tang Dynasty bear?"

In this era...unless the railway can develop, the bigger the country, the greater the possibility of collapse.

The Mongol Empire was unprecedented, but later it collapsed so hard that it was so stupid.

Get a train?

But it's too difficult.

It does not count the limitations of terrain, steel, steam locomotives... These are just bugs for the Tang Dynasty at this moment.

Without decades of dedicated research, there is no glimmer of hope in this matter.

If it is really made...

Jia Ping'an felt that a huge empire was right in front of him.

"Also, the big cannibal is not restless."

The Great Food Envoy only came to Chang'an last year, and Jia Ping'an's words puzzled everyone.

“Tell me.”

Li Ji's tone was almost partial.

Cheng Zhijie glanced at him for this.

Xu Maogong wanted to cultivate Xiao Jia.

Yes.

Li Jing cultivated him, and he cultivated Xiao Jia... This is how the Tang Dynasty passed on.

If a warrior is not dead, the Tang Dynasty will never be destroyed!

"Dashi is also expanding now." Jia Ping'an felt that he needed to open a subject called politics and war. "When they felt that they were strong enough, they would find opponents for their army... Once the threat was discovered, war was inevitable."

"Just like those battles after the founding of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liang Jianfang asked.

Jia Ping'an nodded, "The Tang Dynasty established its country, and then destroyed the Turks and fought until the Tang Dynasty felt safe, so she grabbed the chariot."

"Well said!"

Su Dingfang praised: "This is exactly what the Tang Dynasty is like, and I feel safe when fighting until the Tang Dynasty."

"Actually..." Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "Many times, joining the zodiac signs is also a good means. For example, suppressing the opponent's surroundings."

This is the best method that the great gangsters in later generations are good at, and they are pulling a bunch of their younger brothers to surround their opponents.

Li Ji stood up, "What do you think?"

The young people stood up, some wanted to speak, and were stared at them.
To be continued...
