Gu Baiyi nodded and said, "Be careful on the road, and comfort him."
"Don't really drink too much. After seeing him, I will go to see if anyone's cruise ship is vacant, and I just bought it." Qiuniang went to her room, and after a while, she changed her clothes. It made Qin Xiao's eyes shine.
This is a very clean green waxy skirt. Although it is not luxurious, it adds a few more colors to the beautiful Qiuniang.
She was originally a mature woman with a slender and bulging figure. Wearing this waxy skirt made her beautiful figure undulating, with a round waist and a round buttocks. The slender parts are full of grip, and the full parts are beautiful and plump, and the whole body is pouring down. Mature and feminine charm.
Qin Xiao was a little surprised. This glutinous dress was obviously a dress that Qiuniang cherished very much. When she went out this time, she was dressed so beautifully, and the people she wanted to meet were naturally unusual.
Not only did she put on a glutinous skirt, Qiuniang also gave her a little pink and daisy, and she looked even more beautiful.
A woman is a person who pleases herself.
Qin Xiao couldn't help thinking in his heart, is it possible that Qiuniang couldn't meet with which man?
But this kind of thing, he naturally doesn't ask much.
Qiuniang gave a few words without delay, she went out gracefully, Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang's beautiful back, and suddenly thought that the fat woman at the door called Qiuniang a vixen. He didn't quite understand it before. Wake up, dare to feel that the fat woman sees Qiuniang wearing this outfit to go out.
This body is beautiful and dazzling, and even more elegant, it is really charming and moving. It is no wonder that the fat woman would say that Qiuniang is a fox.
"We can't change things about the imperial court." Gu Baiyi's voice rang in his ears: "Back then, the saint enthroned, the three prefectures and seven prefectures headed by Murong Changdu rebelled, and the world was in chaos. The Southern Army took advantage of the new ruler's instability. He went all the way north, drove straight into the city, attacked the city, and all the people were shocked. At that time, the Tusun people took the opportunity to go south again and contained the Tang army. If it were not for the logistics supply of the southern army at that time, Murong might not have been able to reach Kyoto."
The internal and external troubles of the empire back then can be said to be the starting point for the empire to turn from prosperity to decline.
The Great Tang Empire was strong for a while. Such a powerful empire would never collapse because of foreign enemies, and could only seek its own death.
Xiahou ascended to the throne. Although he had the edict of Emperor Dezong, Zhao Yankuo and others directly wrote to Xiahou not qualified to be emperor. After this group of people were slain, the world’s scholars also attacked Xiahou’s pen, and held heavily armed local prefectures and counties. They were all ready to move, and eventually Xiahou became emperor, which directly led to the rebellion of the three states and seven counties.
Although only three states and seven counties rebelled in the 18 states of the empire, at least half of the states and counties sat on the mountain and watched the tigers. They neither had soldiers nor sent troops to quell the rebellion.
After that war, not only did the DPRK punish a group of capable officials and officials, but also cost a lot of money to counter the rebellion. In the end, except for the Southern Xinjiang Army to retreat safely to the south, the other rebels were suppressed. The result was the empty treasury. The empire has been in an extremely weak state for several years. For this reason, it even had to throw Xiling into the hands of the Xiling family, unable to form effective control of Xiling.
"so much
Over the years, in the hearts of the saints, the greatest threat to the empire came from southern Xinjiang."Gu Baiyi said calmly: "Chairman Murong has both civil and military skills. It can be said that there are few people who have a strategy of warfare. The generals of the Manchu dynasty are only the old generals who can really compete with Murong.Although Tai Shi Cunxu was proficient in the art of war and was trained by the old general of Tai Shi, he was still a little younger after all, and Murong had rich experience.General Hei Yu, Brother Qin, with all due respect, his old man is good at using surprise soldiers, but if he fights with a large army, he is still a little worse than Murong."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing that Gu Baiyi was telling the truth.
"It's only a pity that General Taishi is very old, and I have heard that I have been sick in the past two years." Gu Baiyi sighed lightly: "The saint regards Murong Chang as his greatest confidant. Before he pacifies southern Xinjiang, he will naturally not enter Xiling, even with Wutuo people went to war. In fact, for so many years, the court has been planning to conquer Murong Changdu. Although the two sides negotiated, Murong Chang sent hostages to become ministers, and the court also gave him the title of Zhennan King. But everyone in the world knows that as long as the court To regain his vitality, Mr. Murong would be the first to have an operation."
Qin Xiao said with a hint of sarcasm: "The saint has been on the throne for 17 years, and Chang Murong is still sitting comfortably on the chair of the King of Zhennan."
Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "Chairman Murong started his army back then, but he is now half a hundred people in his early thirties. When the saint was first enthroned, after the war, he was bound to regain his vitality. Fighting wars is complicated and complicated, but simple. It is also simple. If you send troops, the morale of the army is naturally indispensable, and money, food and weapons are even more indispensable, and the most important thing is that you need a strategizing general in the army. It was precisely because the saint had the old man Tai Shi. General, but that was already ten years ago. If the treasury was sufficient ten years ago and he decided to conquer southern Xinjiang, the old general still had the energy to command his troops at the time, but the conquest of southern Xinjiang was definitely not a year and a half, and there was no preparation. The money and food that can support two years is naturally not easy to use soldiers, so when the old general was ready to fight, the court failed to send troops, and now the old general is so old that he can't lead the army at all. The national treasury is still unable to make ends meet, and he wants to fight the South. The use of troops in Xinjiang naturally requires more consideration."
"Brother Gu, according to this, Nanjiang has been dragging on, and the recovery of Xiling is nowhere in sight?" Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Although the national treasury has not been full in the past few years, it is at least fuller than it was when it was most difficult." Gu Baiyi said lightly: "There have been no major wars in more than ten years, and the important officials of the court are all used to the present birthday. I have to send troops to conquer the 14 counties of the two states in southern Xinjiang with the power of one country. Naturally, it has the upper hand in strength, but...!" Said: "But if you lose, what will happen?"
Qin Xiao was startled.
"Once you lose, the ground will shake." Gu Baiyi said: "Maybe the empire is in turmoil again, and the adults of the court will no longer be able to live a stable life now." He smiled slightly and said: "So The adults in the court are all saying that they have accumulated their strength and waited for the opportunity to send troops to conquer southern Xinjiang, but they just said that if the saints have a whim, they really want to send troops, I am afraid that most of the Manchu civil and military will prevent the sending of troops, and they can say For countless reasons, the saint had to take his life back."
Qin Xiao was even more stunned.
When he was in Xiling, when the officials of the Duwei Mansion chatted occasionally, they would inevitably mention when the imperial court would actually take back control of Xiling from the Xiling family.
In fact, some people have said that the imperial court must first take down southern Xinjiang, and then send troops westward.
The people in the Duwei's Mansion have been waiting for the day when the imperial court destroys southern Xinjiang. As long as the southern Xinjiang is conquered and the Tang army leaves the pass and enters Xiling, the Duwei's Mansion will be proud.
Only after more than ten years, Tang Jun did not leave the pass to enter Xiling, and even Nanjiang has been in the hands of Murong Changdu.
Qin Xiao finally understood at this time that, in the final analysis, the court had never thought of a decisive battle with Nanjiang in order to stabilize the life.
"Brother Qin, even the southern Xinjiang that the saint feels like Rumang is on his back has not recovered. Do you think the imperial court will easily send troops to Xiling?" Gu Baiyi sighed, "Actually, only General Heiyu who has been thinking of taking back Xiling is the only one who has been trying to recover Xiling. I dare not say to abandon Xiling, but no one really helped General Black Feather to get Xiling back. Before the general left the customs, it was a joy to go to the center. It was said that the saint had strategized and regained control of Xiling without a single soldier. Who would have thought that it was actually a trap set by the Fan family. Now that the general was killed and Xiling fell into the hands of the Xiling family, the adults in the court just thought it was nothing but a joy, and no one really wanted to get Xiling back. Shook his head and said: "Xiling has been lost for more than ten years. It is good to be lost again, but now that it is lost again, it is just returning to the original state. Those adults will not find it strange."
Gu Baiyi's sincere words also stabbed Qin Xiao's heart like a knife.
He had a cold heart, always thinking that the imperial court could not accept that Xiling was occupied by the rebels. Only now did he understand that the high-ranking officials and nobles from top to bottom in the court never regarded Xiling as the same thing.
If you lose Xiling, you only need to die a few people, just like Fan Wenzheng, to give an explanation to the army and the people of the world.
"What kind of shit court is this?" Qin Xiao finally cursed, "Is this still the Great Tang Empire that prestigious all over the world?"
Gu Baiyi said calmly: "Some people want to change this world, but they are eventually changed by this world. I heard that as long as there was a place where the Great Tang flag was flying, the enemy would kneel and surrender. When Datang is an enemy, he will eventually become a ghost under the sword of Datang Iron Knight." He raised his head slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "That must be a very beautiful era!"
"Maybe... there will be another day!" Qin Xiao seemed to be thinking about the once glorious era of Datang.
Gu Baiyi stretched out his hand and patted Qin Xiao's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "If many years later, there is a new emperor who makes great efforts to govern and revitalize the Tang Dynasty. Not getting old yet."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Gu, if there is one day, we will be old. Two old people, riding two horses, carrying a banner of Datang, let's go to the border of Datang and see See if the barbarians see our banner, will they kneel down and beg for mercy. Hahaha, if that's the case, we won't live in vain in this life."
"Then it's settled." Gu Baiyi stretched out his hand, "If there is such a day, we two old men will carry the flag to the border, and let the barbarians look at our prestige."
The two high-five each other, amidst the laughter, it was very crisp.
