Chapter 1044: Expulsion
Sinobude was expelled from the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as the city gate was opened, the group surrounded the carriages, drove out from the city gate, and headed towards the east of the river.
Inside the car, the frustrated Thinobud leaned against the wall of the car and looked at the scenery of Chang'an that was constantly retreating through the glazed window.
Opposite him, Xue Jun was sitting, and he was also watching all this with nostalgia.
Although the two are in a good mood, they are essentially different.
For Xue Jun, this trip can be said to be a life of death. It is very likely that he will die in a foreign land and will not be able to return to the hometown of the Tang Dynasty. For him, it is of course difficult to give up. But putting aside his personal life and death, he is excited.
After operating in Tubo for so many years, he did have some thoughts at first, but in the end, he never thought that he would secretly match the major events that the imperial court was operating. Although he had worked hard for many years, he still made wedding dresses for Li Ze, but after seeing the current prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Jun willingly presented all his hands.
Because of all this, he will get the next chance of Xue's rise.
If you stay in a place like Tubo, in another ten or eight years, the Xue family will be really finished.
Now, the best descendants of the family will be allowed to return to the Tang Dynasty, and the clouds shrouded over their heads will dissipate, and they will be allowed to step back into the mainstream of the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe these children and grandchildren will not make any major improvement in their lives, but this is just the beginning. With the background of Xue, one year later, Xue will definitely become one of the top small people in the Tang Dynasty again.
For this reason, the Xue clan members who were left behind would fight to the end. The more people they died, the smoother the journey of these children and grandchildren in the Tang Dynasty would be.
It is worth it to use the blood of all the Xue clans to pave the way for the future for these children and grandchildren.
This is also the only way for Xue’s family to go now and in the future.
Li Ze's methods were cruel and his heart was cruel. Xue Jun had a deep understanding of this, but in the same way, this person was just a word and kept his promise. He was not afraid to give great rewards to those who made significant contributions to the Tang Dynasty, even if these people were his enemies.
This person's mind is as broad as the sea and as high as the sky. Xue Jun is now devoted to it.
Under the leadership of Li Ze, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably top the top of this world and become a giant on this vast land. Although the Xue family is a little late to attach its wings, as long as they work hard, they can achieve something.
The rise of a big family requires the efforts of several generations, and Xue Jun is not in a hurry at all.
Xenobud's mood was completely different.
The roar of cannons was always sounding in his ears, and what kept flashing in front of his eyes was the messy scene that had been bombarded by cannons.
"The truth is only within the range of the cannon!" Li Ze's Yin-detection voice kept echoing in his ears, and the sound became louder and louder, like a Hong Zhong Dalu, making him in pain.
He seemed to have seen Tubo's soldiers and horses fall down in large numbers under the bombardment of cannons. The Tubo city turned into ruins, exquisite palaces, temples were destroyed and burned into raging fires. Cattle and sheep were galloping desperately on the grassland. Along the road, you could see the dead shepherds on the ground.
The fully armed cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were riding on horseback with a strange smile, trampling on the quiet and peaceful land.
He shivered and suddenly sat upright.
The expulsion of Sinobude means that the honeymoon period between the Tang Dynasty and the forces represented by the Delhi Chinan of Tubo, also means that there have been fundamental changes in the Tang Dynasty's policies towards Tubo.
Because Tochar is about to die and will eventually win the Tubo internal struggle, Chinan Delhi, who will definitely dare to change his policies towards the Tang Dynasty.
Hostility between the two sides is inevitable.
Or Delhi Chinan didn't want this, but the Tang Dynasty's aggressiveness and ambition to annex Tubo forced Delhi Chinan to embark on the road of confrontation with the Tang Dynasty.
This is not transferred by personal will at all.
Li Ze would never allow a Tubo Empire that could still become stronger and survive by his side.
In a sense, Tubo was still a big country at this time, and they also controlled most of the Qinghai and the Tibetan Plateau. This was an extremely vast land. Although the population was not large, the huge territory and natural strategic situation against the Tang Dynasty still left Li Zeru with a backdrop.
Although the wars in Tubo are constantly coming to the bottom, for a country, after reaching the bottom, there will inevitably be a slow rise process, and its national strength will definitely recover slowly. After a long period of war, people's minds must be a natural thing.
He took advantage of his illness and killed him and beat the dog in the water.
At this time, if you don’t make any decision, the more difficult it will be.
The war against Tubo was a collision between two nations and two civilizations. Compared with the war of unification with the south, Li Ze attached more importance to the upcoming dispute with Tubo in his heart.
Even though the south is divided, in a broad sense, everyone is still a family. There will be countless ways to resolve the problem with the disputes between the same cultural group, wars are just one option. However, the collision between two civilizations will not have a second choice except for blood and fire.
Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Li Ze has a clear understanding of this.
But the Tubo people at this time may not have such a cognition. Their national consciousness is afraid that they are still in a ignorant state and are beginning to sprout without a deep understanding. This is the best time to annex them. After annexation, they will be incorporated into the Greater Chinese civilization, slowly assimilate, merge, and finally merge into one.
"Xue Jun, I have never understood why Li Ze was willing to make Goryeo a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but could not make us Tubo a vassal state of his?" Snowbud looked at Xue Jun opposite and asked, "If Li Ze can agree, I will definitely do my best to make this matter."
Xue Jun shook his head and said, "Tubo is different from Goryeo. This is the Tang Dynasty's consideration of the strategic situation decades or even hundreds of years later. Only Li Xiang has such a far-sighted vision. Our vision is not so long. Li Xiang will not allow Tubo to exist in the form of a country. Because in the long run, he will pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty."
"With the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, who can threaten him?" Sinobud said angrily.
"That's not necessarily." Xue Jun shook his head and said, "As long as it is a hidden danger, it must be eliminated in the bud state, and the hidden danger cannot be left to future generations. Just like in the Monan and North Mo, there were many voices inside the Tang Dynasty, believing that the investment of huge manpower and material resources was not worth it, because there were neither people who could create a large amount of wealth, nor many resources worth our efforts to mine. However, Li Xiang still insisted on the fact that it was necessary to effectively control this area. Do you know why?"
Xanobud shook his head.
"Li Xiang said that through the far Far East, there is a tiger and wolf country, which has a suffocating obsession with the territory." Xue Jun said: "Sooner or later, this tiger and wolf country will advance in the direction we are in. Therefore, we need such a place as our strategic space. Only by controlling this place can we have the initiative. Therefore, even if this land is not of much use to us for the time being, it must be held in our hands. This is for the sake of the world."
"Why didn't Li Ze go to annex that country?"
"It's too far. The long distance, the cold weather is cold and ice-like, and it's not worth it to invest countless manpower and financial resources to fight a war without any chance of victory." Xue Jun said: "Li Xiang does not do useless things, nor will he start a meaningless war. He only fights meaningful wars. Snowbud, you have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and you should know that as long as Li Xiang makes up his mind, there is no possibility of any change. You need to make a decision."
Xenobud shook his head slowly: "I don't need to make a decision. I can only rise up and face the enemy when the Tang army is fighting."
Xue Jun laughed: "Shenobud, Li Xiang does not need you to make a decision now, but hopes that you can make a decision at the last moment. You have to rise up to resist the Tang Dynasty, as Li Xiang expected, but when you put in all your efforts, you will still be crushed to pieces, Li Xiang hopes that you can make the right choice at that time. You must be clear that the Tang Dynasty not only wants the territory of Tubo, but also wants the people in this territory to be dead. It does not mean much to us. The Tang Dynasty decided to fight against Tubo, and it did not mean to kill all the Tubo people, but to replace a leader for the people of Tubo."
"Tubo is different from the Tang Dynasty. Those nobles and leaders will never compromise with the Tang Dynasty." Snowbude said.
"They can only choose one between life and property." Xue Jun said: "What's more, the Tang Dynasty did not want their private property. Except for land, of course, slaves would never be allowed to exist. You have been in the Tang Dynasty for so long that you should have seen how they lived after the great landlords and families of the Tang Dynasty wisely gave up their land and moved closer to the court's policies? These people had more wealth than before. And those who were stubborn to the end, either died or those who did not die were also struggling in the mud. The same was true for the Tubo nobles. Those who were willing to compromise with the Tang Dynasty will continue their brilliant life. Those who wanted to resist to the end will eventually be completely destroyed."
"They don't understand the real situation of the Tang Dynasty, so no one can hear these words."
