Although Fang Xuanling is very young and is China's top strategist, he has a scholarly character.
And scholar... although it has been a derogatory term for many times since ancient times, it is not actually that. It is just used to describe a person's temperament... and temperament is a background of thought, but it is not a decisive factor.
To put it bluntly, he is a bit of a middle-class person with a stronger personality... something like this.
Of course, Fang Xuanling is a bit of a middle-class scholar and a little bit of a middle-class student. Like many outstanding scholars in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Fang Xuanling also had a sense of responsibility for his family, country and world.
...As for Wei Zheng, although Fang Xuanling has always liked to compete with this guy, Fang Xuanling also knows that Wei Zheng is probably the most capable and accumulated among the brothers. Therefore...
Fang Xuanling was also curious about Wei Zheng's face.
Although this guy had always had a bad face in the past, as if everyone - including His Majesty! - owed him a huge sum of money, but after His Highness the First Prince appeared, Wei Zheng's problem had been cured a lot unknowingly.
Now... In the past two years, he has acquired the aura of a good gentleman, similar to the temperament of an ordinary country worker.
Today...
Fang Xuanling always felt that something was wrong. This Wei Zheng was not a fool pretending to be shocking. His stable character was probably second only to the old yin Du Ming.
When these two good friends stared at him and asked, Wei Zheng's face showed a slight twitching look——
This surprised Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling even more.
People can only "hesitate" for one reason, and that is fear!
For example, when buying something online, although you have prepared the money and thought about placing the order, if the price is relatively good, generally speaking, people will still hesitate again and again. In the final analysis... it is because they are not confident in themselves, so they also have doubts about life.
feel fear.
But most people are like this, and some people are not. There is a group of special people in the world, and they will never be intimidated by anything that seems scary - such as these few who created the current situation in China with Li Er.
Guy.
Considering that Shenzhou is now firmly established, Wei Zheng has no reason to worry.
Fang Xuanling thought for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Xuancheng, are you... constipated, or something else?"
Wei Zheng actually shook his head seriously to show that he was not constipated, and then said, "It's not a big deal, I'm just uneasy. This food can be high-yielding and can be used for planning. It is a blessing to our Tang Dynasty. They are all good things...
…”
"Um……"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stroked their beards and were silent when they heard this, thinking thoughtfully. Of course the two old men would not ask "in this case, what are you worried about?", so they naturally knew that Wei Zheng's words meant something, and just stared at them.
Wei Zheng, think quietly.
And then, Wei Zheng took a breath and sighed, "But these good things, after all..."
"After all, this cannot be equated to the fact that the Tang Dynasty has defeated Rome. Nowadays, maritime trade is developed, and the Romans are interested in all kinds of magical arts in our country, especially those made by His Highness. Among them, fertilizer... This Roman actually has
Spare energy to support distant foreign countries."
"I'm always worried that China's military technology will one day be mastered by the Romans. If that day comes, things may become... difficult to handle."
Wei Zheng...
Of course, I have never heard of the Battle of the Somme or the Battle of Verdun. But...
As the top elite in China, he is an ace-level professional player in the fields of literature, history and philosophy.
When looking at history and fate, our intuition is no joke.
When Wei Zheng asked this question, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling on the side were startled, and then... then, their faces became silent as expected, and they began to think...
Just as these most far-sighted people in China expected.
At this moment, in the wasteland to the west of the Alps, thousands of miles away from China, there is a loud roar of cannons...
The roaring sound soared upwards, echoing in the dark clouds that persisted all year round in Europe.
…
Although Sun Simiao was engaged in "extracurricular activities" in his spare time, he accidentally produced a new variety of high-yielding wheat. He became famous for a while and aroused a lot of praise in the land of China.
However, this reputation has been applied to Baihui point one after another, but Sun Simiao... doesn't have much sense of reality.
because……
Sun Simiao himself understood that the high-yielding wheat was really just a hobby in his spare time, and he accidentally got it while studying the cultivation of medicinal materials...
And it is precisely for this reason that although major strategic decisions have been finalized in quiet secret meetings in the palace recently, and the strategic situation of all countries in the world will change in the next step, Chang'an at this time... is still peaceful, and Sun Simiao is still calm.
I am just conducting my own academic research, and the world is peaceful.
certainly……
An elderly expert like Sun Simiao is still different from ordinary people. No matter whether troubled times come or not, Sun Simiao will not care about things other than medical skills - anyway, medical skills are useful at all times.
but……
There is a saying that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Lao Sun wants to work harder, hoping to complete his ambition at the age of half buried in the earth and before the full size of the earth... At this juncture, something else happened.
.
Overnight, Sun Simiao suddenly received an edict from the palace. He first gave himself a lot of praise and praise, and was granted a lot of beautiful and exquisite official titles. There was even a serious county baronet in it! However,
then……
The last part is just a line of small words, but His Majesty wants to go out on his own and go to the northern military town of Datang to participate in the campaign against Rome!
Yes, this operation is a battle-level operation, which is somewhat rare for Datang today. Although it is necessary to win Rome in the long-term competition and game, Datang has such a strategic plan.
Fake, but because he has been mainly busy with internal development in recent years, he really hasn’t been able to take care of any big work. Originally, Li Er was determined to make further progress in Africa, or simply go north in one go and eat up the vast hectares of northern Africa.
Fertile farmland—that was the core grain-producing area of the Romans! Its importance is self-evident.
But for now...
Seeing this part, Sun Simiao couldn't help but sigh. The world is really troubled... As a doctor, Sun Simiao has a simple humanistic spirit and holds a negative attitude towards anything that requires bloodshed, believing that things that can be solved slowly are the best.
It's better to solve it slowly.
But Sun Simiao was not an ordinary person after all, and of course he knew... The situation between Tang Dynasty and Rome was almost the same as that of Liu Xiang, and they would have to fight sooner or later, so it was not a surprise.
What surprised Sun Simiao was that Li Er did not ask him to practice medicine, but to do something related to food...
