Chapter 1730: Peace under War
Both of them were reminiscing about the past, so it was impossible to get a result. The quarrel in the big tent was lively, as if it was a big deal in the world. In fact, there was no difference between being scolded by shrews. The 18th generation of ancestors were suppressed, and they parted in disagreement after arguing. This was also the destined ending.
"Can the general win the scolding?"
On the way back, Han Yi rode on the horse and asked Duo Fu with a smile.
Duofu looked embarrassed and said excitedly, "It's really Danmu and the others who bullyed people too much. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to talk nonsense to them, and I even let Shangshu Han take a joke."
Han Yi hurriedly said, "General, don't think so. Tomorrow, I will bring a few people who can argue with them. I must make them angry."
Duofu Lian shook his head and said, "No, no, no, let's put the important matter first."
"This is the main thing!"
"ah?"
Duofu looked at Han Yi in surprise.
Han Yi smiled deeply and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back."
When she returned to the base camp, Princess Honghua came to ask, but after hearing that she had scolded for a whole morning, she was stunned.
Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't be surprised by Queen Yan. Insult is the main theme of this negotiation. Since this negotiation begins in insult, it will definitely end in insult. Therefore, the queen should not have too high expectations for this."
Princess Honghua said in confusion: "How do you say this?"
Han Yi said seriously: "Lu Dongzan excused himself by the internal struggle of Tuyuhun. If we do not admit that it is an internal struggle, then we have occupied the other party's territory. Therefore, we must admit that it is Tuyuhun's housework. Then there is a legitimate reason for whoever manages the Heyuan area. We will not give up, and the other party will not compromise. We will definitely take back the Heyuan area. However, if we continue to fight, we can't stand it, so we can only scold each other."
Princess Honghua wondered, "But if you continue to curse, when will it be the end!"
Han Yi said: "Unless you eliminate the other party, this will last forever."
Duofu said, "But we don't have the energy to waste here with them."
Han Yi smiled and said, "But it's better than continuing to fight. You scold each other, which is actually a step for me, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. If Tubo gave up, the Bailan tribe and Chihai tribe would definitely feel that they were betrayed by Tubo. Similarly, if I Tang Dynasty gave up, you would also think so. The best way is to treat this matter as a housework, but we have occupied this piece of land now, so it doesn't matter whether we will continue to argue."
Princess Honghua said: "But in this way, the war will likely come back."
Han Yi sighed: "It's possible, but there is no way to do it. But I think if there is no good opportunity, Tubo will not launch such a big war again, and will only harass it on a small scale. However, the Tang Dynasty will also increase its troops to garrison here, so they will not harass the people of Tuyuhun."
Princess Honghua nodded helplessly.
Not only she felt helpless, but in fact everyone here felt very helpless.
The Tang Dynasty could not swallow Tubo, and Tubo also lost the best offensive opportunity. If he continued to fight, he would only suffer both losses. Tubo and the Tang Dynasty had no deep hatred. They launched wars and sought national interests. Han Yi did not even want to blame the other party. If Lu Dongzan was replaced by him, he might also launch a war. Just relying on national security, it would be enough to make up his mind.
But since it is unprofitable now, why don’t you fight? No one wants to fight, but no one will easily make concessions because they have to be responsible for their agents. Then they can only fight in another way. Whether you scold, fight one by one, or duel, anyway, all means of non-war are fine. When the time is right, you will fight again.
On the second day, Han Yi really brought the fishing rod and sat by the river fishing with Lu Dongzan, had a long talk, talked about life and ideals, and was very devoted. He was not perfunctory or absent-minded. It can be said that he had a lot of talks. After all, they were all prime ministers, and there were topics. The big tent was full of quarrels. In the end, Danmu directly threatened Duofu with war and wanted to send troops to overthrow Princess Honghua's regime.
Duofu also acted very tough. Your elder brother sat outside, and my elder brother sat outside, and the war started. Who is afraid of whom?
On the third day, Danmu really began to integrate the troops. Wang Fangyi and the others also mobilized.
From beginning to end, Han Yi and Lu Dongzan kept silent. It seemed that it was really someone else's business, and they didn't care about themselves and were hanging up high, but without the nods of the two of them, the war would not be afforded.
Therefore, this negotiation was very strange and no one expected it. In fact, it cannot be said to be a negotiation.
On the fifth day, Lu Dongzan asked Han Yi to come fishing again.
"well."
Lu Dongzan sighed and said, "Shangshu Han, I am really powerless to do anything about this matter, so let them do it themselves. I don't want to take care of it anymore. I will go back in a few days."
Han Yi said oh, "We really thought of going together. It's really hard for honest officials to settle family affairs. I was so tired of being physically and mentally quarrels by them. I didn't want to care about it anymore. I still have to rush to the northwest to take a look."
Lu Dongzan seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "When it comes to the northwest, I want to talk to Han Shangshu. Regarding the matter in the northwest, it was also the people of Gongyue City who were provoking discord from it, which led to Gongyue and the second division of Yue. He was impulsive. He hoped that your country would not be calculating with them and give them another chance."
Han Yi said generously: "Since you have spoken this, of course you have to give Da Xiang a face, there is no problem."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"No need to thank you, just send a few cows."
"I can't forget it, I can't forget it, this sucking cow is already on the road."
“That’s so thankful.”
Just a few words have agreed on the northwest. In fact, where Gongyue and the second ministry of Chuyue are currently located, they are not on the plateau, and are basically exposed in front of Yutian. However, they are separated from Tubo from Kunlun Mountain. If the Tang Dynasty wants to fight, they can fight at will. But the problem is that after the fight, the war will start next time. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo will face each other directly, and no excuses will be made to look for it, because there will be nationalism in this country, and politicians can only be kidnapped and can only continue to fight. This is very dangerous. Giving everyone a buffer zone is good for both sides, so Han Yi agreed very readily.
As for Tuyuhun, it seems to be tense, and both sides are dispatching troops and fighting and killing all day long, but it is actually very safe. Because the big brother doesn't nod, it won't be able to fight this battle. If you are disobedient, you will do it yourself, but you will definitely not be able to defeat the other party.
However, this matter is not over yet. Tuyuhun is not giving up any inch of land, and Chihai tribe is in a position to welcome the Murong family and firmly oppose Princess Honghua.
During the entire negotiation process, the Chihai tribe did not say that it wanted to retake the Heyuan area. They emphasized that they wanted to welcome the Murong family back.
This is actually Lu Dongzan laying the groundwork for the next battle.
Originally, he wanted to use this matter to clear his responsibilities, but he didn't expect Han Yi to go with the flow and admit this statement, and he did not intend to express his opinion and let them deal with it by themselves, but in fact he still supported Tuyuhun. Han Yi did not express his opinion, and Lu Dongzan had no choice but to do it, because now he has become an outsider, but Lu Dongzan is not stupid. Since you admit that this is a "family matter", then I will confirm this matter. With this excuse, they can naturally eliminate Tuyuhun, depending on when the time comes. This will also give Chihai and Bailan an explanation. Although I did not want to return to the Heyuan area, I can annex the entire Tuyuhun next time.
Han Yi now also understands Lu Dongzan's character, a hero, and any contract is nothing but a piece of waste paper for him. As long as he has the opportunity, he will start a war without hesitation. Since this is the case, signing a contract is meaningless, and he has to use balance of strength to avoid war. Moreover, Han Yi also needs such a piece of land for the Tang Dynasty to train troops, because there are no powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty, but if this army does not fight, it will be destroyed sooner or later.
This is definitely the best place to train troops. You can get any new tactics and new weapons here to try it out.
As a superpower, military power is a very important part, but if you don’t start a war in other people’s homes, you have to start a war in your own home. The Tang Dynasty needs peace and development, but there is no war at all outside. It is just to avoid a full-scale war. It is still very necessary to fight and make small fuss. If there are internal conflicts, it can also be used to divert conflicts.
.
On the evening of that day, Han Yi and Princess Honghua came to the river for a walk.
The sunset in Tuyuhun is very beautiful, and the afterglow is shining on this land, as if we hope to bring peace and peace to this land. However, things in the world often go against our wishes, and there will be conflicts in places where there are people, which is inevitable.
"Shangshu Han, although the Tubo army has retreated, the Chihai tribe and the Bailan tribe are still provoking each other. This is really uneasy!"
Princess Honghua frowned slightly, and there was a hint of sorrow between her eyebrows. This result was beyond her expectations. Even the letter of armistice was not reached. Both sides were still in a state of war and it would be fine to start a war in the next moment.
Han Yi smiled and said, "Just get used to it!"
Princess Honghua smiled bitterly and said, "Every day, there are people shouting in front of the house with a knife. How can you get used to it?"
Han Yi said: "Your Highness, this biting dog is not toothless. The more they scream, the more they prove that they are all left to shout, and there is no need to be afraid. I have also said before that our Tang Dynasty will increase troops here, and even the latest organization of our army will be assigned to it, including the medical team, the engineering team, and the logistics team. We will definitely ensure that the war will not hurt the people of Tuyuhun. You can rest assured."
Princess Honghua was very surprised. Judging from Li Zhi's original actions, she obviously still blocked Tuyuhun outside her home. When something happened, she would protect herself first. However, according to Han Yi's words, she became very important. However, she quickly understood and smiled and said, "Does Han Shangshu want to use this place to train troops?"
Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I'm not hiding the princess, this matter has become like this because our Tang Dynasty does not have the ability to counterattack. When fighting in the plateau area, our soldiers are not as good as Tubo, but it is not the same thing to always be beaten so passively. Therefore, we hope that the soldiers of the Central Plains will adapt to plateau combat. When we have the ability to fight within Tubo, Tubo will not dare to invade again. Otherwise, Tubo will always have the opportunity to start a war and go back to the country if it fails to succeed. We can't do it."
Princess Honghua nodded slightly, and her heart became more at ease. Since the Tang army wanted to treat this place as a training ground and its purpose was to target Tubo, then the Tang Dynasty would definitely not give up here.
Han Yi said again: "Princess, let us leave this defense, and you still have to devote your energy to development. You can't expect the people to fight to support you, which is very difficult. You should let the people fight for "have". If the people are all poor, then it doesn't matter who ruled here. If you can make them rich, then when the robbers come, they will definitely fight to the end because they have reasons to fight."
Princess Honghua smiled and said, "That's what those merchants in the northwest are."
Han Yi nodded and said, "On the way I came, I also paid special attention to the development of Tuyuhun. I found that your pastures and arable land have stabilized, but there is only so much land. If you continue to develop like this, it will be difficult to improve it even more. This requires further upgrade. I believe that your highness also knows that the rise of wool workshops is not only wool, but also camel wool, etc., which also contains huge wealth."
Princess Honghua said: "That's all I need to help from Shangshu Han."
"Sure, certain."
