I want it too!

But it's not realistic now!

The general looked at Jia Pingan provocatively.

Are you trying to argue with me?

Brother, when you were a keyboard warrior, your bones have long since rotted.

Jia Pingan said in a deep voice: "The Western Regions can't be controlled, and the forces in Tocharo and other places are mixed... That area is very complicated, and if it goes there, it will be a big food. Even if it is captured, how will it be controlled in the future? Confinement?"

As soon as he took the case, his eyes widened with anger, "Just to fight for a place of imprisonment?"

"Why can't it be controlled?"

"How to control it?" Jia Pingan wanted to curse, "Those places... To put it simply, I went to Kucha this time. Kucha was conquered by the Tang Dynasty during the reign of the first emperor, but even today, there are still people who want to rebel in Kucha. This is because Datang has garrisons, if there are no garrisons, I bet that if the troops are withdrawn today, someone will be ambitious tomorrow..."

The historical lessons of such things are too profound. For example, the Jiaozhi of later generations dragged Daming overwhelmed and finally gave up.

"Why can't we garrison in Dashi!"

Damn, I've been thinking about this before it's over.

"How far is Dashi from Datang?"

Jia Ping'an couldn't be more clear, "Datang is stationed in Dashi, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how to control it? Once it starts... you know, you can never stop. Datang will either perish in the battle, or keep fighting. Can't stop..."

Once the chariot starts, it will be too late to pull the brakes.

Li Ji and the others listened calmly.

What else do you want to say?

Jia Pingan rapped on the map with his fingers, with a questioning look in his eyes.

The general blushed a little, "According to what you said, Datang shouldn't attack?"

This is the period of doubt in Datang's foreign strategy.

How to fight, where to fight...

"Why don't you fight?" Jia Ping pointed to Dashi and said, "When Datang fully controls Anxi, the small countries in the Western Regions will panic and will lead Tubo and Dashi to fight..."

"You mean... waiting for work at leisure?"

The general understood what Jia Pingan meant, "You are not against the attack, but just want to stabilize the existing ground. Those opponents will take the initiative to attack..."

You finally understand!

Historically, when the Tang Dynasty's rule in Anxi became more and more stable, those small countries began to panic, and then colluded with Tubo to attack Anxi... This is the rhythm in the future.

"Anxi controls the trade routes, and Datang has benefited from it. If Tubo wants to develop, the only direction is the Western Regions, so Datang and Tubo will have a long war in the Western Regions..."

Jia Pingan said in his heart: Hundred Years' War!

But here I am, it won't take a hundred years!

"How far is it from Chang'an to Anxi? How far is it to Dashi?"

Jia Ping'an felt that generals must not only have the ability to fight, but also have an overall vision, "How will the supplies be transported? How will the reinforcements arrive? The cost of the journey... Ask the Ministry of Finance, can Datang bear it?"

In this day and age... unless the railways can be developed, the bigger the country, the more likely it will collapse.

The Mongol Empire was unprecedentedly large, but then it collapsed to such an extent that it made people lose their minds.

Get a train?

But it is too difficult.

Not counting the limitations of the terrain, steel, steam locomotives... these are bugs for Datang at the moment.

Without dozens or hundreds of years of painstaking research, there is no hope for this matter.

If it really comes out...

Jia Ping felt that a huge empire was in front of him.

"In addition, the big cannibal is not safe."

The Dashi envoy came to Chang'an only last year, and Jia Ping'an's words puzzled everyone.

"Tell me."

Li Ji's tone was almost partial.

Cheng Zhijie glanced at him for this.

Xu Maogong wanted to cultivate Xiao Jia.

Yes.

Li Jing had cultivated him, and he had cultivated Xiao Jia... This is how Datang has been passed down.

Warriors never die, Tang Dynasty never dies!

"Dashi is also expanding now." Jia Pingan felt that he had to open a subject called politics and war, "When they feel that they are strong enough, they will find opponents for their army... Once they find a threat, War is inevitable."

"Just like the fights after the founding of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liang Jianfang asked.

Jia Pingan nodded, "The Great Tang established the country, then destroyed the Turks, and kept fighting until the Great Tang felt safe, and then stopped the chariot."

"well said!"

Su Dingfang praised: "Datang is exactly like this, fight until Datang feels safe."

"Actually..." Jia Pingan said with a smile: "In many cases, it is also a good way to combine vertical and horizontal. For example, to coerce the opponent's surroundings."

This is the method that the big hooligans of the later generations are best at, pulling a group of younger brothers to surround the opponent.

Li Ji stood up, "What do you guys think?"

The young people stood up, some tried to speak, and were stared at.

Allowing to observe and express opinions is considered an exception, and it is not their turn to make the final summary.

Liang Jianfang glanced at Jia Ping'an, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, "Stable Anxi, be optimistic about Tuyuhun. Give Tubo a slap."
