Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 67 Erosion

A pair of eagle eyes on the thin cheeks fixedly stared at the "Wei Liaozi" in this poem, "Whoever wins without a battle must be counted as much; if the temple is not victorious without a battle, it must be counted as little." More counting wins, less counting wins, and nothing counts!", the culture of the Tang people has really reached the forefront of all ethnic groups in the mainland, and it is unexpected that a thin "Wei Liao Zi" has such profound philosophical principles, Besan clapped his hands Sigh, I don't know that the Tang people have crystallized so many civilizations, but they are still in decline. Although they still seem to be powerful now, Besan knows how many crises are hidden behind the seemingly powerful.

Shaking his head, Besan couldn't help but a wry smile appeared on his face. He still had the mind to worry about outsiders. The spies Kurdo sent to Loulan to launch the rebellion were all captured by the Northwest Security Department without exception. Although there was nothing to prove it, just dozens of people disappeared for no reason. Besan knew that he had managed to establish a The espionage network that had been raised was almost destroyed.

Besan has been in deep confusion since sending troops to participate in the Mott's regime change. Facing the crazy expansion of the Northwest on the Tengger Grassland, he actually had a feeling of being powerless to resist, from the Boyin people in the north of the Liberian countries to his neighbors, the Quer people and the Tubu people, all the way to the west. In all the tribes of Indian, there seemed to be people from the Northwest flashing everywhere, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him to grasp what this opponent was thinking. Originally thought that his goal was to focus on the Tanghe Empire, but since last year, he has uncharacteristically used troops to the west and north. From India and Mott to the Western Regions, it seems that every battle is exhausting power. With the appearance of being invincible, did this guy suddenly change his mind and want to open up territory for the dying Situ Dynasty? He doesn't believe it.

The greatest possibility is that Li Wufeng is preparing for his future Eastern Expedition, and all his worries have become his first priority. So where will his next step be? Besan had a bad premonition that Li Wufeng's next target might be himself. Only by completely destroying Zhengdong, could Li Wufeng devote himself to the internal struggle of the Tanghe Empire without any distraction, so that his rear could have A safe and stable environment, and his own goal of enlisting the East has become a thorn in his heart.

Perhaps I made a mistake when I intervened in Mott's affairs from the very beginning, which made the Northwesterners sensitively realize that the Luobei people on the East Tengger Grassland have always been an important force, a force that the Northwesterners cannot underestimate. Let the Northwesterners start to point the spearhead of the war at themselves, but then think about it, wouldn't Li Wufeng trust the Luobei people even more if he didn't intervene in Mott's affairs? Will they really form a strategic ally with their own side? Shaking his head subconsciously, Besan knew that this was absolutely impossible. With Li Wufeng's personality, long-term allies can only be established on the basis that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It became a block in his way. The Mott incident was just an excuse, a fuse caused by different views on the spokesperson.

It's a pity that I couldn't fully mobilize the eastern part at that time. Otherwise, if I used the eastern part to intervene in the affairs of the Mote people, it would be hard to say who would die. I hate those dignitaries living in the city of Barona who firmly opposed all mobilization. Chief Vadya also agreed to their proposal, so that he could only spare a small part of his army to support Gul'dan.

Thinking of this, Besan couldn't help but sigh. The countries in the Western Regions, especially Loulan's instigation and rebellion against Besan have given up any hope. Even the Mott people have already succumbed to Li Wufeng's despotic power, let alone the countries in the Western Regions that are already a mess? These useless wretches who have always been full of contradictions never bowed their knees and surrendered under the suppression of foreign races. Even if they resisted occasionally, it was just a flash in the pan. However, those nobles who heard that they would lose the tribute from the Western Regions all of a sudden clamored as if they had been stung by a wasp, clamoring that they wanted to teach the Northwesterners a lesson, and the envoys of the Loulan people also ran to Barona Pleading, but time has passed, and by the time the inefficient aristocratic meeting made a decision, the countries of the Western Regions had already prostrated themselves at Li Wufeng's feet and licked Li Wufeng's feet.

Sending spies to help instigate rebellion, providing weapons and provoking riots has become the only means for the nobles to hide their shame. Besan does not agree with this kind of desperate method at all. Li Wufeng provided an excuse, and it was inevitable that he would expose his intelligence network in the Western Regions, but how could he change the decision made by the noble meeting?

The result was exactly as I had expected. Apart from winning a massacre without any suspense and the collapse of the intelligence network, there was no result. The smoke disappeared, and the person in charge of the incident, Loulan Princess Haliqina, disappeared strangely. Besan deduced that Hariqina must have fallen into the hands of the Northwesters, and might have become a taboo on Li Wufeng's bedside. Women even their own chiefs are full of "sex", not to mention Li Wufeng, a lustful evil spirit.

Staring blankly at the eagle with its wings outstretched and ready to fly on the desk, the moment when the eagle is struggling to flap its wings and wait for its neck to sing is vividly depicted. Besan loves this sculpture the most. A handicraft from a sculptor from the Western Continent was immediately spotted by Besan, and he bought it at a high price and placed it on his desk for appreciation.

How to deal with the possible changes now? Reporting to Barona will definitely not have any results. Although now two more business routes have been opened for the Northwesterners to the Western Continent, and the income from customs duties has been greatly reduced, which has caused the nobles' dissatisfaction with the Northwest to rise. At this time, it is impossible to convince them that Li Wufeng may take the initiative to attack the Luobei people, even if it is himself, it is just an unfounded prediction.

Recalling what he saw and heard when he returned to Barona City to report on his duties at the end of last year, Besan was even more uncertain. The economic and cultural power of the Tanghe people has penetrated into the depths of their own nation. The tea bricks, cloth, salt, medicinal materials and even food that ordinary herdsmen need in their daily life are not imported from the northwest. The northwest relies on its good geographical location and powerful The manufacturing capacity of the country has firmly controlled the economic lifeline of its own nation. Now Besan even doubts how long his nation can last once the Northwest completely cuts off its business and economic exchanges with his nation?

And the nobles of Barona City seem to be equally indulging in the economic and cultural civilization from the Tang River, fully enjoying the fruits of civilization from the East, exquisite handicrafts, gorgeous silk satin, and exquisite workmanship. Exquisite Tang-style sandalwood or mahogany furniture, smooth jade-like glazed porcelain, and simple and luxurious purple sand pottery have become indispensable items in the homes of nobles in Barona. Without these things, it can only prove that you are not yet qualified to be on the stage of the high society of the Luobei people, and others will also abandon you like a shoe.

Even hiring Tang people as housekeepers has become a fashion. Luoyang Zhigui, a Tang native who was able to speak Hu language in the city of Barona for a while, is far more popular among the Luobei upper class. Many nobles even asked the Tang River Empire to come to Barona to establish a Tang language school at the noble meeting, so that the noble children can learn Tang language and the glorious culture of the Tang people from an early age, so that they can master The most advanced civilization.

Besan has visited the homes of some of his aristocrats several times, and the scenes he saw made him suspect that he was in the home of a gentleman in the Tang Dynasty~IndoMTL.com~ It turns out that the oil paintings from the Western Continent have long been moved to a corner and hung instead In the main hall, there are usually huge Tang-style landscape splashed ink or large-scale picture scrolls of horses, tigers, and eagles, and half-person-high white porcelain vases are placed aside, and some homes even set up arty study rooms. Stacks of Tanghe books were placed on the bookshelf, and a huge folding fan was unfolded and placed on the wall behind the desk. The words "rarely confused" were clearly visible, and Besan even suspected that this nobleman who could not read a lot of characters Can you recognize the Tang characters on the folding fan? In the living room, there is a Tang-style traditional carved bed, gold-hooked jade curtains, and silk-satin mosquito nets. Even my married wife and concubine are willing to wear Tang-style embroidered silk pajamas. Besan, who is tender between husband and wife, is extremely depressed.

Green tea has become the most important drink among nobles to entertain guests. If anyone dares to serve guests with scented tea or brick tea, it will be a joke in the upper class immediately, and even the porcelain used for tea tasting They are also very particular about their knowledge. The porcelain from the south of the Tanghe Empire is naturally the best, and the porcelain from Bonan in the northwest has gradually gained a firm foothold in the noble families of Barona City. The bumpkins in the political center were really eye-opening.

Thinking back on all this, Besan's mind was shaken involuntarily. It is simply impossible to get these guys who are addicted to enjoying life to agree to go to war with the Northwest. Even if the Northwesters take the initiative to go to war, these guys will not It is hard to say that he would hide in the city of Barona, thousands of miles away, drag his own legs, and cause trouble for himself. But there are many things that you can’t help yourself. You don’t want to go to war with the other party, but the other party thinks that you hinder his interests, regards you as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of you quickly, so what can you do?
