Will Ming

Chapter 780 People are selfish big ships sailing through the waves, and the two on deck were relatively silent.

I don't know how long it was silent, Chen Que'er slowly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the mountain peaks on both sides of the strait that was not yet green, her heart felt like a stone was blocked, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly.The story told by Daxi Changru is only a very short period of his life, but it is the most memorable period in his life.

"Is there a man whose memory is not a little sad?"

After a long time, he asked a question he knew the answer to.

Daxi Changru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If there is such a person, then he is either an idiot or a lunatic."

This answer seemed to make some sense, but Daxi Changru quickly shook his head again: "Even an idiot or a lunatic will not have only happiness and no sorrow in their lives, they will suffer from having no food to eat and no clothes to keep out the cold. "

"Hope you all are well."

Chen Que'er spilled the wine in the glass into the Yellow River.

Who is this glass of wine dedicated to, even he himself does not know.He was just grateful for those men who fought and died on the frontier in order to defend their homeland. Since ancient times, these men are the most worthy of admiration.The number of people who died defending their homeland is countless, and the names of most people will not be eulogized.They were born with no name and died with no name.

"How can we prevent foreign enemies from invading?"

He thought of another question.

He knew the answer to the previous question, but he also knew that there was no answer to this question.

"Anzhi and I have also discussed this issue. When we were on the grassland, Anzhi said that only if he is strong enough to make everyone fear him, no one will dare to invade. But a few years later, Anzhi and I talked about this topic again. At the time, he no longer thinks so..."

Daxi Changru paused and said: "Ten years ago, Anzhi thought that his own strength could guarantee everything, but later he understood a truth... It is because of your strength that more people will try to knock you down. And If you are weak, there will be endless people to bully you. The reason for this is that human nature is greedy... I don’t know if An Zhi has thought of a way to prevent foreign enemies from intruding. "

He smiled and said, "But An Zhi has always been very smart, maybe he will find the answer."

Chen Que'er nodded, thinking that An Zhi is indeed the most intelligent and wise person in the world.He can think of things that others can't think of, and if others can't solve it, maybe he can also solve it.

At the same time, in the Zhanghe Yanyun army camp.Ye Huaixi, who came with Li Xian on Qingqi, also asked Li Xian the same question in the big tent.

"Sir, if you are supreme, how can you prevent foreign enemies from intruding?"

Li Xian asked, "For example?"

"For example, the Tiele people invaded the south and harassed our Turkic royal court... Or the steppe people went south over the years and harassed the Central Plains."

Ye Huaixi said.

Li Xian thought for a while, and answered his question very seriously, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with this question: "I am a selfish person."

He answered seriously, but didn't explain anything.So Ye Huaixi didn't understand what the hidden meaning of this sentence was, and he didn't know whether this sentence was the answer to his own question.When he still wanted to ask clearly, Li Xian had already got up and walked out of the big tent.Ye Huaixi wanted to follow, but in the end she chose to stay in the tent and think carefully about the meaning of the answer given by her husband.

"How to prevent foreign enemies from invading?"

"I'm a selfish person."

In any case, the two sentences don't seem to have much to do with each other.But Ye Huaixi knew that since Li Xian answered this way, there was a reason for it.He is a smart kid, but the smarter he is, the easier it is to get stuck in a corner and unable to extricate himself.He didn't even think about what this sentence meant until it was dark, so he didn't even want to eat.

"selfish person……"

He repeated in a murmur that the soldiers came in to light the lamp, but he didn't care at all. When the lamp suddenly lit up, he thought of an answer, but he didn't know if it was the true meaning contained in the sentence of the gentleman.

Could it be that Mr. is saying that he is a selfish person, so he only cares about what he can manage. He is too lazy to think about how the people after him can ensure that the country will not be disturbed?But Mr. is a person who wants to create a foundation that will never change forever. If he wants to build a powerful empire, why doesn't he think about the aftermath?

Just when he was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, Li Xian summoned several people.

Wu Bushan, Guan Xiaoshu, Wang Qinian.

These three people were specially brought by Li Xian Qingqi when he was heading north, because he had something he couldn't let go of and had to arrange for someone to do it.

"You three, take all the staff from the Military Inspection Office and rush to Mingzhou."

"all?"

"all"

Wu Bushan was surprised for a moment: "But the lord has to leave guards by his side."

"There is a lone sword guard battalion."

Li Xian shook his head and said, "You all should know how important those two people in Mingzhou are to Gu, so when you arrive in Mingzhou, immediately find a way to bring them back."

Wu Bushan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "As long as it can be brought back, any method can be used?"

Li Xian was stunned, and then smiled: "It's up to you."

Hundreds of miles away from the Yanyun Army camp, a man ran wildly northward against the wind in the night.His whole body was wrapped in a black robe, only revealing a pair of eyes full of hatred.He held the reins in one hand and a chisel in the other.

Two hundred miles northeast of Yaocheng, hundreds of thousands of Yanyun troops have just set up tents.The Yan Yun Army that came from Xiangyang City did not rest, and after gathering Xu Shiji's men, they immediately set out and rushed towards Wei County.

In the tallest tent, Ye Huaixiu took a look at Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng and said, "I have to go there first... A military inspector disappeared last night, and the body was only found today, and his clothes were stripped... This thing is so weird."

"I go!"

Xie Yingdeng stood up and said, "You stay."

"The Military Inspection Office has to cooperate with the army, so you should stay in the army."

Ye Huaixiu waved his hand, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I hope nothing will happen."

She paused, and suddenly thought of one thing: "I only bring Tiqi, and I don't bring any black robes of military guards."

... When Li Xian returned to the big tent, Ye Huaixi was still thinking hard.He didn't even notice Li Xian entered the door, the frown was deep on his immature face.

"I just received a secret report from the Military Inspection Office."

Li Xian sat down on the chair and took a look at Ye Huaixi: "The war on the grassland has turned around. Ashina led people around like sweeping holes in Liting, the hometown of the Tiele people. The Tiele people I'm already panicking. Zamuhe sent troops to attack the Turkic royal court, and they were ambushed by your sister, losing tens of thousands of soldiers. If there is no accident, the Tiele people will retreat if they can't hold on for half a month... Luo Yi's tiger and heavy cavalry It's here too, you can rest assured."

"what?"

Ye Huaixi woke up from her contemplation, and couldn't help jumping up immediately: "That's great!"

This jump is full of childishness.After all, he was just a kid who was just over 11 years old.No matter how much he learns, no matter how much he comprehends, he will still have a childish side.This is also one of the reasons why he couldn't get close to Li Xian no matter how hard he tried to chase him.

When Li Xian was still a baby, he already had a mature mind.

"However, there was a disaster on the grassland a while ago, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death within thousands of miles. The Tiele people are in urgent need of food and grass, and so are you Turks. Even if you can repel Jamuka and keep the royal court, you Turks will Faced with the problem of how to eat enough."

Li Xian looked at Ye Huaixi and asked: "Over the years, if the grassland suffered from natural disasters, it would be difficult to be self-sufficient...how do you Turkic people deal with it?"

Ye Huaixi's smile froze suddenly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.She was silent for a while, and then replied in a very soft voice: "Go south and plunder the property and food of the Han people in the Central Plains."

"The second year of Emperor Kaihuang..."

Li Xian said in a calm tone: "There was a catastrophe on the grassland. Seven out of ten cattle, sheep, and livestock died. Taking pictures, the five Turkic khans gathered 40 troops to go south, and suddenly broke through the Great Wall defense line and entered the Central Plains. Burned, killed and looted more than a dozen counties. , millions of Han people in the Central Plains were killed and injured, thousands of miles of scorched earth..."

"In the 11th year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, there was a catastrophe on the grassland. Ashina Duojishi, that is, your father, summoned all the tribes in the grassland and sent 60 troops to the south. Even the Shiwei people in the deepest part of the grassland were also called. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was trapped and almost captured. Although the army was defeated and retreated, the fertile fields of several counties in the Central Plains were almost uninhabited."

"In the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, there was a catastrophe on the grassland. It was your father, Ashina Tuoji, who led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south. He joined Liu Wuzhou in Mayi County and almost broke through Taiyuan. More than a dozen counties in Hexi and Hedong were plundered. Although your father died in the Central Plains, Ashina Elifo also died in the Central Plains, and you Turks lost more than 20 wolf riders. But there is no doubt that... the people of the Central Plains died more."

As Li Xian said one by one, Ye Huaixi's face became more and more ugly.

During this period of time, he almost forgot that he is also surnamed Ashina, and his name is Ashina Association Rate.His father was the Turkic Shibi Khan Ashina Duji who was forced to death in Niangziguan by the Han people.

"Just now you asked me how to prevent foreign enemies from invading."

Li Xian looked into Ye Huaixi's eyes and asked: "Then let me ask you now, if you Turkic people defeated the Tiele people with the help of the lonely army, after the victory, you will find that there is not much to eat on the grassland due to natural disasters. At that time, would you immediately kill the reinforcements sent by the orphans, and then gather the Tiele people who were not in the same place before and go south to invade the Central Plains? You were fighting each other not long ago, and maybe the next moment you will celebrate how many Central Plains you have plundered. People's land, how many people in the Central Plains have been killed... If you go back to the grassland, what will you do?"

This question stabbed Ye Huaixi's heart like a knife.

"You chose to lead the troops to the south in person."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Because people are selfish. When you came to the Central Plains, you have seen all the maps in our army, and you have traveled to many places. Use your wisdom to remember some, and even copy them secretly. Question. Will what you learned in the Central Plains become your weapon to massacre the Han people in the Central Plains?"

"If it is... there is no doubt that it will be a sharp machete that can kill people."

Li Xian said.

Ye Huaishou was sweating profusely and didn't know how to answer.

"Perhaps you will think, since I will send troops to help you Turks defeat the Tieles, does that mean that I am willing to form an alliance with you Turks? Since I am an ally, then you Turks have suffered a disaster, should I send A large amount of food relief? The granaries all over the Central Plains are almost full, and just emptying any granary is enough to help you grassland people tide over the difficulties. After all, you have killed a lot of grassland people after years of fighting."

"I do not know"

Li Xian looked into Ye Huaixi's eyes and said, "Actually... I'm very happy that there was a disaster on the grassland. I'm even dissatisfied. Too few people died on the grassland after this natural disaster...Mo Speaking of food, if I have enough cavalry and enough manpower and material resources to transport food and grass into the northern part of the Great Wall... I will slaughter you Turkic people in one fell swoop while you are declining."

"It's a pity... I can't do it. Sending troops from the Central Plains to Saibei, the food road is too long, even if only 5 cavalry are sent out, the logistics supply team will be at least ten times larger, and the consumption will be a hundred times larger. This will drag down the country. So I On the contrary, I really hope that when the spring warms up, you grassland people will come south to plunder... I will wait at the door of my house and kill as many people as possible. Before this troubled world is about to end in my hands, I don't mind killing more people."

Li Xian said with a smile: "That's why I say that people are selfish."
