"Bastard! All over the world, is it the king's land? How can you decide the land of the four towns? You can give it to whoever you want? This is the only thing that will be punished by the wise canon, and it is not false." As soon as he heard Cui Po's words, Lord Zhongshu immediately scolded him angrily.

Cui Po knew very well that his uncle's words were probably more to the people behind the screen. However, even without this factor, this statement was enough to cause him to reprimand him. People from Confucian families particularly valued the word "guarding the land". "The mountains and rivers are broken" is the most unbearable great sorrow of life. The concept of land can be said to have been deeply imprinted into their blood and bone marrow. When the two countries confront or interact, they can withstand any humiliation conditions, but once the word "land" is involved, they are unwilling to give in. This is why Chang Gun flatly rejected the proposal of a big meal in black, and the root of such a simple "dispelling wolf and swallowing tigers" strategy is unavailable.

Thinking of this, Cui Po also smiled bitterly. Although this concept is good, under the current situation, he is still stubborn and unable to adapt, which is really a bit inconsistent.

"Uncle calms down and lets my nephew explain the thoughts in detail for you." In this situation, Cui Po could only slowly plan.

"Talk" Lord Zhongshu, who was angry, sat down and said sternly.

"My nephew, please ask my uncle, how many bans were there when the four barbarians were surrendered to? And just a few decades later, how many bans were the commanders of our dynasty?" Cui Po asked in a roundabout way, and before Cui Youfu answered, he had already said directly: "In the Kaiyuan period, our dynasty had 321 private prefectures, but the border prefectures where the four barbarians surrendered to the border reached 800. Now, the 800 number has dropped to 251, which is not as good as the 31 in the Kaiyuan period. Even the more than 200 bans reserved were still the imperial decree to the court, and there was no more than half of the Kaiyuan period. When the emperor ascended the high and shouted, the world responded to the grand occasion. What is the reason?"

"The barbarians understand the two sons of Xinyi, and their heads and rats have always done it. This is not surprising," said the Lord Shu, with a resentment.

Seeing that his clan's uncle refused to admit the reality, Cui Po could only smile lightly and said: "These 800 banished states were mostly voted by the whole country on that day, condemned them to present a letter of nationality to Chang'an and begged to be placed under our rule. What is the reason? One is that we longed for the magnificent and prosperous culture of our dynasty; the other is that our dynasty has a great way of governing the dynasty. However, the most important thing is that a strong Tang Dynasty could give them enough protection and security. It is precisely because of this that all directions came to vote, and even set up the twelve banished states within a day." Cui Po was excited and accidentally used an extremely fresh noun.

"Sense of security..." After chewing these three words in his mouth for a long time, Cui Youfu started to speak: "Speak on"

Seeing that his clan's expression showed a desirable expression on his face, Cui Po knew that his words had made him listen a lot after all. He was shocked and continued to say downwards: "It is precisely because of this. When my Tang Dynasty experienced the Anshi rebellion and the country's power declined, these prison states would go to a new path and change their courses. My nephew thought that this had nothing to do with trust and righteousness, and only strength was the fundamental reason that everything was determined."

"Only strength is the fundamental reason for everything," Cui Youfu murmured and repeated this sentence as vulgar, but it was a speech that revealed the essence of the intercourse between the country. At this moment, he really looked at his nephew with great admiration. The words and deeds of this clan nephew who was talented but reckless in his eyes seemed to show that he was far from a frivolous young man who was just brave and acted recklessly. Thinking of this, Cui Youfu's interest increased greatly, corrected his body, and asked: "What does this have to do with the four towns of Anxi as you said?"

When he was excited, Cui Po stood up and walked around the room for a few steps, leaning against the dark screen, saying, "Although the four towns in Anxi were set up very early, their roots were no different from other banished states. The four towns under Anxi were under Kucha, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule, caste, folk customs, and dietary customs were very different from those of our people. In this case, when our country's national power was declining, how much loyalty could they be expected?" After raising such a question, Cui Po did not seek the answer from Master Zhongshu, and continued to say, "The reason why the four towns in Anxi have not yet left my Tang Dynasty like the Beiting Protectorate. In my nephew, the most important reason is the relationship between Tubo and the Black-clothed Big Food.

Due to mutual restraint, the country is now strong. After eroding our territory in Beiting, it is only separated from the four towns of Pamir and Anxi, which are also ambitions of Tubo, which is only the only way for them to continue to advance eastward. However, the Tubo people also understand this. He will definitely not allow these four towns of Dashi to obtain these four towns. This is why Tubo sent troops to fight against the then Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi. Under such restraint, the four towns of Anxi were used as a third-party buffer zone deliberately retained by the two strongmen, and were able to be protected by our Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the only 26,000 military and horses of various ethnic groups in the four towns, no matter who takes them, they will inevitably fall."

Listening to these words, Cui Youfu's expression was still, but he was shocked. He did not mean that his nephew had any new ideas. Cui Youfu had been an official in the center for many years, so how could he not know these truths? It was just that he never expected that his son was so young, and he was even remote in Xiaozhou, Hebei Road, the north for many years. He had only been to Chang'an for a year, and he had been in the local prefectures for several months. In this case, he could have such insights by just going to Tubo.

The explanation of the various situations in the western part of the Tang Dynasty is so thorough that the meaning of his words vaguely grasps the most important essence of the disputes between the dynasty of "checks and balances". This is a truth that many officials have to exhaust their life experience to understand, especially for the children of aristocratic families who are often influenced by Confucianism and advocate "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trustworthiness" as the only way to govern the country. Such things can only be described as the word "genius who is born to know".

Cui Po did not know what his clan man thought, and continued to say passionately, "What our dynasty is not Ji Sun's worries, but within the Xiao Wall! Tubo bullies me too much and restrains our dynasty too much. Under such circumstances, what's wrong with us to break this deadlock? It's impossible to lead the enemy to attack the enemy, so that it has no time to look east. Our dynasty concentrates its efforts to pacify the troubles of the four towns, shock the various states, re-establish the authority of the royal court, wise monarchs and wise ministers, and work hard to govern. For thirty or twenty years, why worry about not being able to reappear our dynasty Zhenguan and the prosperity of Kaiyuan. Don't say that this black food is now concerned about our dynasty.

If he joins the alliance with Tubo and does not dare to take my four towns, he will really take it. When I am in a prosperous future, will the four towns still be my own pocket? For example, it is better to be half dead now. Only with the current situation, if you stick to Anxi, you will not be able to work hard to destroy the four rebellious towns. If the four towns are not destroyed, after a long delay, our dynasty will have concerns about the country's destruction. At that time, the country will be destroyed, and there will be four towns in Anxi there..." Cui Po, who was also excited by his own description, did not speak any of his usual concerns, and even said such ruthless words as "destroying the country".

"Random!" Cui Youfu was so anxious that he was sweating. He listened to the screen and then he let down his heart.

Cui Po ate and drank, and then realized that his words were too much Menglang. He also turned his ears back and listened slightly. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal behind the screen, he felt relieved.

After a long period of silence, Cui Youfu said heavily: "Why don't you report such a big thing to the court? First of all, if the four towns of Anxi were indeed occupied by the black-clothed food and food, as the initiator, you will definitely be infamous for the eternal infamous name, and the words of the people are full of words, and the historical pen is like a knife. Are you really not afraid?"

Cui Po heard this, but did not reply directly. He got up and walked to the window, looked at the green bamboo outside the window, and sighed, and smiled slightly before he said: "The alliance of black food is all in the word "secret", and my nephew also had a temporary idea, so I had this move. If I traveled thousands of miles to repay the court, how could I guarantee that my secrets would not be lost and the matter would not be misleading? If I discovered that my Tang Dynasty was just a blunder, how could I have a alliance so smoothly? As for the second question, the nephew asked for not being a high-ranking official or a famous title, but only my Tang Dynasty revival. What I wanted was the people's peace and peace in the four realms of the Tang Dynasty; what I wanted was not

The country that is denied the road comes to pay tribute; what is needed is the Tang Dynasty like the rising sun, eternal like Zhenguan, Kaiyuan glory, the sun is immortal, and the prosperity is immortal! If it is for this goal, killing people, Yingcheng's nephew will not be afraid of it; if the Tang Dynasty is gone, what is the use of leaving a name for a thousand years!" Cui Po could still try his best to restrain himself when he first spoke, and later he was also confused by this longing. At this moment, he completely forgot his clan Cui Youfu, and also completely forgot the screen, and spoke wildly and said the deepest desire in his heart. At this moment, Cui Po still had a half-grown young man and elegant appearance?
