"Yang Langjun said, "I have traveled to the Western Regions and returned to my country? In your opinion, in addition to the Turks, there is another country in the Western Regions that can be called the enemy of our Central Plains?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment and suddenly changed the topic.

Yang Hao also thought for a while before saying, "After killing Jie Li Turks... our Central Plains will have three more enemies in the northwest.

"One is Yehu Turks. It occupied the Western Regions. If our Tang Dynasty wants to go to the Western Regions business road, it must destroy it. If it is kept, it will one day reoccupy the northern grasslands and become the enemy of our Central Plains."

Yehu Turks are also Western Turks.

"The second one is Tubo on the plateau. Tubo is still fighting on the plateau. However, the current Tubo king is relatively awesome and ambitious. With the help of capable ministers, if he does not die, he should be able to unify the plateau within ten years.

"And although his son is only ten years old, he looks amazing. If there is a capable minister helping him, even if his father cannot unify the plateau, he can do it. In short, those who unify the plateau will inevitably be Tubo, and it will inevitably become a major concern for my Tang Dynasty. Of course, that may be more than ten years later."

At this time, Hou Junji suddenly said, "You may not be worried about the weather. The plateau is barren and the population is thin. Not to mention farming, even forage is better than the northern desert. Do they dare to peek at my Central Plains?"

Yang Hao looked at him and saw disdain and arrogance.

I don't know if it's for myself.

Yang Hao didn't argue, but just smiled and said, "Although the plateau is barren, and the mountains are crisscrossing, people and animals are difficult to move. However, the creation of heaven will always leave a glimmer of life for people." He asked with a smile. "Do you know how big the plateau is?"

At this time, the people of the Central Plains knew very little about the plateau.

Li Shimin shook his head slightly at Hou Junji.

He knew nothing about the situation on the plateau, and he didn't even know where the country Tubo was.

But he doesn't say it.

Now he is the lord of the Tang Dynasty. No matter whether what Yang Hao said is true or not, he should listen.

In fact, it was not that no one from the Central Plains had been on a mission to the plateau. But the one who went there was just Tuyuhun. Before, the Central Plains people didn’t even know that there was Tubo.

Even when they began to fight with Tubo, the people of the Tang Dynasty still thought that Tubo was just a wild tribe like the Qiang people.

Of course, Tubo did not know the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Finally, the two sides tested and Tubo finally realized that the Tang Dynasty was powerful. The Tang Dynasty could not do anything to each other because the plateau was too high. As a result, both sides could only marry and get along with each other.

"Tubo is four or five thousand miles away from Chang'an. If you walk straight, you have to cross several truly towering mountains. And the road is plateau. If I go there, I am very likely to be unacceptable to the local environment.

"However, the Tubo people have lived there for many years. They have long adapted to local conditions."

He paused and said, "As far as I know, even people in the plateau are not suitable for survival in many places on the plateau." There are also large areas of no man's land in modern times.

"However, there are also some elite areas, such as some valleys between high mountains. Those mountains have snow all year round and have melting water except in winter. Although the valley is high and cold, barley can also be grown. Barley is a kind of grain that can be grown in high and cold places. In addition, they also grazed yaks, horses, goats and other livestock.

"Of course, some are located in a grand canyon that is three to four thousand miles long from north to south. This grand canyon is the greatest capital for Tubo to unify the plateau in the future."

"Tubo set out from a little distance, and could occupy a low valley in the southeast along the Grand Gorge. There was almost no force there that could be stopped. That valley was very fertile and abundant in materials."

Yang Hao used wine to roughly draw a map of the plateau and log in to the location. Finally, he clicked on the southern Tibet: "This place is another essence area. You can plant rice. There is also here..."

He drew an arc on the west side of the Lossian and said, "This is an extremely high mountain range. Except for several passes that can be passed through in summer and autumn, most birds cannot fly across the other places. After passing through the pass, the terrain suddenly fell to about the same as ours."

A narrow arc was drawn to the west of his mountain range: "As it is the same thing, Tubo is condescending, and as long as he occupies those few mountain passes, he can advance and attack and retreat or defend.

"They only need to occupy this small piece of place, called Nibharu. As long as they occupy this place, they can occupy an area that is several times richer than the Grand Canyon.

"Of course, with the countries of India, there may be a place of battle. But there is still a place in the northwest, which is the Big and Big Bolu, which is south of the Pamir Mountains. Although Big and Big Bolu is also mountainous, there are also many arable pasture land between the valleys and many mines. Occupying this place allows you to see the Western Regions and invade business roads."

After saying so much, Yang Hao paused, moistened his mouth first, and organized his words.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Has Yang Xiaolangjun been to Tianzhu?"

"I went on a trip with my master."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "As you said, Tubo may indeed become a great enemy of our dynasty."

Yang Hao nodded and said, "As long as the land of Tuyuhun is lost, the land of Hexi is under their troops. If the land of Qiang is lost, the land of Sichuan and Shu must be prepared at any time. If they occupy the Big and Big Bolu, their ambitions for the Western Regions will be fully exposed."

He said, sighed, and said, "We in the Central Plains have already gained an absolute advantage in the grassland. In less than fifty years, as long as the Central Plains are not turbulent, there will be no more enemies in the Mobei region.

"Only the plateau is the plateau. It is difficult for us Central Plains to attack and defend on the plateau. No matter the strength or weakness, the Central Plains will inevitably be on the defensive. Once the plateau is unified, no matter whether it is Tubo or not, they will definitely covet our Central Plains. At that time, it may replace the northern nomadic peoples and become the enemy that needs to be on the sidelines of our Central Plains."

Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Why did Yang Langjun think that the Central Plains should deal with the rise of Tubo?"

"Each of all the land in Tuyuhun, immigrants and farmland. Try to advance westward on the plateau and guard the key areas. As long as you occupy this place, there will be nothing wrong in Hexi. There will be nothing wrong in Hexi, and the Western Regions will be peaceful. The Western Regions will be peaceful, and the Tang Dynasty will be strong. The Tang Dynasty will be strong, and the Tubo will not dare to look east."

Li Shimin did not comment on his words, but asked: "What about the third enemy?"

"That depends on the court's plan to support that force as a buffer zone with Ye Hu after destroying Jie Li. Support that, that is. No matter which one, within twenty years, it will inevitably replace Jie Li and continue to invade the border areas of the Central Plains."

Li Shimin thought: "Buffer belt?" paused and asked again. "Yang Langjun thinks, how to destroy Jie Li?"

Yang Hao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You know nothing about military and national affairs. But there are no less than three ways to make the Turks decline. It's just that the method is too despicable and will not defile Li Langjun's ears."

Li Shimin asked him repeatedly, but he didn't want to say anything else.

He really has a solution.

Let’s find out about the horse’s nose.

Foot and mouth disease, learn about it.

Little ruminant plague, learn about it!

...

In this era when there are almost no veterinary medicine, he just consciously spreads the viruses in the grasslands...

Without horses, nomadic peoples are sheep. Without cattle and sheep, they will slowly starve to death.

It just takes a relatively long journey.

Moreover, some are zoonotic infectious diseases and can endanger wild animals. They are a bit anti-human, and are easily transmitted to the Central Plains, which is extremely harmful.

If you really say it, it may not be possible for ministers to dare to use it when it is passed to the court. If it is heard by the Turks, why don’t you send someone to kill him immediately?

He refused to say it, and Li Shimin pursed his lips and stopped asking, and said with a smile: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. The ancients did not bully me. Li had something to do at home, so he said goodbye. If you have the fate in the future, you will have a chat with Yang Xiaolangjun."

"I dare not, I dare not. The boy is talking nonsense and can't be taken seriously."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Goodbye!"

"Two gentlemen, walk slowly."

Yang Hao and He Langjun watched them go downstairs before sitting down again.

"Those two men are probably not ordinary people." He men breathed a sigh of relief. "Although they didn't talk much, they were imposing."

Thinking of this, he felt that Yang Hao was not simple. He could talk to the two at a young age, and he actually made the world's general trend very meaningful.

It can be seen that the future is bright and it is really worth getting along!

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Those two are probably ministers in the court, otherwise I wouldn't dare say those words."

At most, I would like to talk to He Langjun about the future business prospects of the Western Regions. For example, after the destruction of the Turks, the Western Regions business roads will be unobstructed, making the other party more trusting that they can maintain long-term exchanges from the Western Regions.

That is the basic operation of talking to people when they see people and ghosts.

Li Shimin, who had just left, was also talking about Yang Hao with Hou Junji: "Junji, do you think what the boy surnamed Yang said is credible?"

Although Hou Junji did not agree, he could not express it in front of Li Shimin. Moreover, he actually felt that what Yang Hao said was somewhat reasonable.

He pondered for a moment. Li Shimin didn't urge him.

After waiting for a while, Hou Junji said: "It's about Tubo, and I don't know much. However, the Tuyuhun land must be kept. In addition, he said that after destroying Jie Li, he would set up a buffer zone with Yeguwei, which was in line with the strategy."

He won't say much about anything else. After all, fighting Jieli depends on the right time, place and people, and it is not just about fighting if you want.

No one can tell when it was.

Yang Hao said that within five years, Hou Junji would not make any comments. As for whether Jie Li could be captured alive, he would not dare to comment.

Li Shimin also nodded and said, "If it is to be destroyed, the court may not be able to withstand a great war. It is indeed necessary to separate from Ye Hu for the time being."

After pausing, he said: "The West Sea in the previous dynasty, the place where the river source is indeed the barrier of Hexi."

When he returned to the palace, Li Shimin called a accompanying guard and said, "Go and check the boy named Yang."
