Normally, no matter what changes occur in Goguryeo, they will have little impact on the name.
But after all, the name is used to unite one's own side and destroy the morale of the other side's people. In the past two years, Goguryeo has obtained chemical fertilizers from unknown sources, so the country suddenly became much richer.
I have become a lot stronger and a lot richer, what kind of impact will this have?...
Speaking of which, although Goguryeo and the Turks were the two giants in Mobei, their governance capabilities were far inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty, so their spheres of influence did not actually overlap... The entire grassland world of Mobei was not completely integrated.
There are still an extremely large number of loose tribes, just like the organic macromolecules in the ocean at the beginning of life, wandering in Mobei. Generally speaking, small tribes will also rely on large tribes, and of course Goguryeo and Turks are like this
thing.
But there are no absolutes, because small tribes also have many considerations of their own.
Joining a large tribe, or even a grassland empire like the Turks and Goguryeo, is not necessarily beneficial to them. Sometimes, if you have better resources under your rule, such as an unpopular but rich pasture somewhere, or the tribe itself has a great person.
It would be better to be led by an ambitious boss, but not to join.
But because Goguryeo has mysteriously become rich recently, the situation has changed somewhat. Overall, it is actually not much different from the process of land acquisition by Wang Jing and others, because the grasslands are more vulnerable to attack than the northern part of China...
The severe cold blows, the uncertainty of life is stronger, and the risks are greater - sometimes it can be considered that this is also the reason why the "nomadic" way of life exists.
The attraction of Goguryeo or Turks to small tribes that originally had little desire to join large tribes or steppe empires is not absolute, but because Goguryeo has become much richer recently, many new tribes have joined...
In short, it was a process similar to this. It only took one or two years, and it happened quite violently. In many places on the grassland, there were even population holes... and the population of Goguryeo doubled.
The territorial scope has also increased by 70 to 80%, which can also be regarded as doubled.
Of course, the "name" thing that was passed down around the war that year was not affected. However, now that Goguryeo has actually made some "thousands of troops come to court" and "the world returns to its heart" on the grassland, this
There are some shortcomings in the name... and some supplements are needed.
Changle was the first to understand and notice this, and it was for this reason that after she brought it up, Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong nodded frequently and secretly praised the jewel in His Majesty's palm.
But it’s one thing to find out the problem, and another thing to solve it. It’s all about the name...
What do you think it is used for? When fighting, it should not be eaten or used. There is no use for eggs.
But if not, you will find that the opponent's military morale will begin to increase for no reason. As time goes on, it will even become more and more courageous...and your own morale will be gradually depleted.
A typical case is the war that Li Sheng's grandfathers experienced. At the beginning of the war, our neighboring countries made all kinds of noises from their superiors, and then they produced thousands of Japanese Communist secrets...
On the contrary, China's side was randomly killed by the friendly countries at first, but gradually it was able to fight against the Sixteen-Nation Alliance, and they were pinned to the ground and rubbed against each other.
The fundamental issue is, of course, the first is the issue of military discipline. In the final analysis, which army can make more people feel safe and which army can win the world. The second is the issue of name.
Name, this seemingly light word, may have crushed even the strongest empire in human history. It is called the Cold War in history.
This shows that Chang Le is not very old, but his structure is not low. However, Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji thought about it for a long time, but they had no clue.
For a moment, the two of them secretly sighed that the difficulty of conquering the world was indeed much more difficult than the war itself... No wonder it was Li Yuan who became His Majesty and not someone else.
But since there were so many problems to be solved during this expedition, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little bored.
After thinking for a while, Changsun Wuji looked at a civil servant next to him. This man's surname was Cen, and his name was Cen Wenwen. He was also one of the famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty and had a good reputation. Changsun Wuji had a good relationship with him and asked for his opinion.
Cen Wenwen pondered for a moment, "In my opinion, this matter must be carefully considered. Because in this area north of Hedong, there is not only Goguryeo, but also many powerful tribes, such as Nvzhi, etc. This expedition will not only
To take care of Goguryeo, we have to deal with the rest of the troops at the same time. Whether we kill them or retain them... we must take the principle of not leaving any future troubles behind, and this matter of title must be carefully considered."
"Um……"
Changsun Wuji was a little surprised in his eyes, but he nodded. He had lived in Chang'an for a long time as a civil servant, but he had never heard of other tribes around Goguryeo... This obviously meant that these "other tribes",
For example, this "female straight" department only has a cooperative relationship with Goguryeo.
Cooperation is a very ordinary relationship, but if it occurs between a tribe and a grassland empire, it is very unusual.
There is no doubt that this straight female tribe must be somewhat extraordinary in its strength and methods.
Then, the difficulty of this nominal problem needs to be raised again, making it even more difficult to solve.
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, and then suddenly heard Cen Wen beside him laughing and saying, "Why don't Duke Zhao ask the Holy Marquis for advice?"
"oh!……"
Changsun Wuji reacted immediately.
This whole thing is just a joke, and it's a waste of so many brain cells.
Isn't it a joke that such a big thinker is here, and instead of directly asking for advice, he is still thinking hard here.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately pulled the reins, rode his horse closer to Li Sheng, and said respectfully, "What does the Holy Marquis think of this matter? I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot go on an expedition with an unknown army..."
Changsun Wuji leaned over, and Chang Le, who was beside him, couldn't help but get closer to Li Sheng, even though he felt a little depressed in his heart. When Li Xiaogong saw that Changsun Wuji had come to ask Li Sheng, of course he also came closer.
.
Li Sheng was watching the flowers alone. It was originally very leisurely and no different from an outing. But now he was surrounded by people, and it became a lively place in an instant.
Li Sheng was also a little confused, "This... Zhao Guogong, what are you talking about... in what name?"
That's right, Li Sheng hardly had any audience to chat with...
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but sigh when he noticed that Li Sheng had a cute look on his face. Maybe geniuses are like this...
This guy is obviously full of knowledge, but his temperament is so indifferent.
