Pei Min, Zhang Xiaosong, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan and Wang Wei each sat in a cell full of the aroma of wine and meat.

Everyone else has stepped down. In this circle of literati, there are some outsiders who are not suitable.

Du Kang, with fragrant aroma, carefully cooked roasted whole lamb, and stewed beef.

Let the person sitting move his index finger, especially Zhang Xiaosong.

He came along the prison car, although no one treated him badly, especially after Pei Min knew about Zhang Xiaosong, he asked Zhao Yizhen to take good care of him.

Even so, you can't eat such rich meat and wine on the road. At best, the food is better.

Pei Min knew that they would not eat without doing anything, so they ignored them and started eating and drinking.

Literati are a very contradictory product. They are proud of their neat clothes and unruly style, just like the exposing madman Liu Ling, and many famous scholars who talk about lice without taking a bath...

The final analysis is still people!

If you are famous and a big shot, everything you do is right; if you are a little person who is worthless, even if you are reasonable, you will be rude!

Literary, that's how realistic it is.

Pei Min was eating and drinking without any chess, which also caused everyone's emotions, and they also ate and drank.

Zhang Xiaosong is somewhat similar to Pei Min. He is both the top scholar and is good at military affairs. He has extraordinary achievements in classics and history, but he has nothing particularly outstanding in poetry. For some reason, he respects poets who are good at poetry and essays.

In his eyes, everyone who is doing is the most famous and famous poet in the world.

After eating and drinking, I kept toasting, talking about poetry and essays, and asking for advice.

Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Wei naturally responded freely.

Pei Min's own skills are not good, but his ability to pretend is first-class and perfunctory.

Zhang Xiaosong was so excited that he could discuss poetry with a group of celebrities in the poetry world. He felt that he would have no regrets in his life.

Pei Min satisfied Zhang Xiaosong's interest and also asked about what he cared about and the situation in the Western Regions.

"Mr. Xiaosong, you have worked so hard to wander in the Western Regions over the years, but I don't know what the situation in the Western Regions is now?"

Zhang Xiaosong's eyes, which were originally drunk and confused, showed a hint of enlightenment, and said with a smile: "Duke is interested in the Western Regions?"

"Of course!" Pei Min said without hiding his thoughts: "What we are doing is the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all my own people, and there is nothing to hide. Applying to come to Hexi is the Western Regions. The Western Regions are the future, and the court is now monarchy and virtuous, so my Tang Dynasty will surely be prosperous. But if you continue, you will reach a bottle top. If you don't break the bottle top, you will repeat the same mistake."

His words did not make it clear here. Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Wei were inferior in this regard, and they didn't understand it.

But Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Xiaosong knew that Pei Min was talking about prosperity and decline.

But this can only be understood, not said.

If a country is strong to a certain level, if it begins to be self-consistent and waits for it to be a path to perish.

It’s like the Han Dynasty. The strength of the Han Dynasty is extremely rare in Chinese history. However, after conquering the Western Regions, they were invincible and began to recuperate.

This resting place brought up an incompetent emperor and became in chaos within, from prosperity to decline.

The same was true for the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji was so wise at the beginning, and it was not an exaggeration to make him the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. It seemed that he had finished all the things he should do and began to enjoy himself. He transformed from a wise ruler into a fool, and ruined his lifelong wiseness.

To be fair, if Li Longji had one-third of the heroic martial arts in the later period, his imperial rankings would be comparable to Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and there would be no pressure on the Kangxi and Qianlong to defeat Kangxi and Qianlong.

Because of this, Pei Min has been committed to exercising, not only the land he owns now, exercising the Western Regions and teaching the same level with Arab and Byzantine countries, making Li Longji's vision farther and don't easily satisfy and enjoy.

"I know that the Western Regions are not the limit of the Tang Dynasty. It is not the only one in the world. My Tang Dynasty wants to prosper and break the cage of the Western Regions. Going westward is the only way. Just like the Han Dynasty founded the Western Regions, if it weren't for the great talent and strategy of Emperor Wu of Han, who knew that there was another world in the Western Regions before the Han Dynasty? The predecessors were the benchmarks, and whether our descendants could break it depends on whether Your Majesty has the courage and whether we ministers are as capable as Wei Huoban."

"And even if we don't play, it doesn't mean that they don't play. Whether it's defense or attack, the Western Regions will be the top priority of our dynasty in the future."

"The Duke of the People is famous!" Zhang Xiaosong looked at Pei Min, and these four words were touching.

He has been patrolling the Western Regions for many years and has no idea about the situation in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are now a hot and fatty meat, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie and take a bite.

It was just that he cared about the current strength of the Tang Dynasty and his own various reasons, and did not take positive actions, but continued to differentiate and understand them with small actions.

Especially the Great Food Kingdom, which originally did not pay attention to India. After they invaded the Indus River Basin and conquered the large and small states in the northwest of the sub-large 6 of India, they only sent several troops to stay in key areas, and had no intention of ruling.

Now, he is constantly starting to recruit soldiers in the area. I believe that as long as he recovers his vitality from the failure of the water war, he will use troops to Tianzhu and peek at the Western Regions from the north and south ends.

This is something he noticed recently, but he didn't expect that Pei Min had already seen this step with Fan's foresight.

There is only capital admiration in my heart.

But he didn't know that the initiator of this situation today was not someone else, but Pei Min.

Historically, Arabs have not attached importance to the Western Regions. They focused on Byzantine and on the Western European Greater 6.

It was Gao Xianzhi's domineering style that later caused the rebellion of the Shi Kingdom, which attracted Arabia's attention to the East.

So the collision between the East and the West began the Battle of Talas.

In the end, the Tang army failed, but at that time, there were certain problems within the Arabs themselves, and they did not pursue the victory and stopped each other.

Now that history has changed, Pei Min's butterfly effect has made Li Longji pay more attention to the Western Regions. The opening of Longshan Road and Wushaoling made the Silk Road more convenient and accelerated the exchange between the East and the West. This piece of fat meat in the Western Regions has become a place for tigers and wolves to peep at and covet.

In history, the collision between the East and the West, Arabia was not the most powerful period, and there were internal civil strife and disobedience. The Tang Dynasty also began to decline and was no longer at its peak.

But the Arab Empire is undoubtedly the strongest now, but the Tang Dynasty has not yet reached its peak and is in the flying...

This made Pei Min a little sad and attracted the attention of Western lions in advance. I don’t know whether it was good or bad.

But all he could do was pay attention to the lion's every move and compete with him at any time.

He treated Zhang Xiaosong so grandly, his own achievements were one of them. His experiences and understanding of the Western situation over the years were the real key.
