This story is still very clear to the eldest grandson Wuji, thirty-five years, Chu Vasui. Then he said, "I am not guilty." Chu said: "I'm a barbarian." Now the princes are all rebelling against each other, or killing each other. I have a good armor, and if I want to observe the politics of China, I ask the royal family to honor me. "Follow the people for the week, please respect Chu, the royal family will not listen, and report to Chu. In the thirty-seventh year, Chu Xiongtong said angrily: "I am the first bear, the teacher of King Wen, and the end of the flea." The king of Cheng raised my father, but he was the son of the man Tian Ling Ju Chu, and the barbarians were all subdued, and the king did not add the throne, and I respected myself. "He set himself up as a warrior king, and went away with the alliance with others. So it began to open up the earth.

Simply translated into the vernacular, it means that in the thirty-fifth year, the state of Chu crusaded against the state of Sui, and the king of the state said, "I am not guilty." But the state of Chu said: "I am in a barbarian region, and today the princes have betrayed the royal family and invaded each other and attacked each other. I have an army, and I want to use this to participate in the political affairs of the Central Plains, and ask the Zhou royal family to honor my name. "The people of the country went to the royal family of Zhou to ask for the title of honor for him, but the royal family of Zhou did not agree, and came back with the people of the country to report to the state of Chu.

In the thirty-seventh year, Chu Xiongtong was furious and said: "My ancestor Mane Xiong was the teacher of King Wen and died very early. King Cheng of Zhou promoted my father-in-law, but he only gave him the field of the title of baron, let him live in the land of Chu, and the barbarian tribes were obedient, but the king of Zhou did not add a title, so I had to call myself a honorific title! So he proclaimed himself King of Warriors, and made an alliance with his followers before withdrawing his army. From then on, he began to reclaim the land and occupy it.

The story is simple, and the big fist is the example of the boss.

As a feudal state of the Zhou royal family, it is naturally rebellious for the state of Chu to set up its own door, but the state of Chu has done it, at least before the state of Qin is strong and the state of Chu is divided into three kingdoms, the state of Chu is a behemoth, and a behemoth cannot be moved.

This is all thanks to the big fist of the Chu State.

The foreign policy of the State of Chu is simple, that is, if I don't like you, then I will be reckless with you first, and if I can't kill you with one wave, then two waves.

This simple policy helped the state of Chu to take advantage of the middle of the Warring States period, at least when the state of Chu was at its strongest, there was no vassal state that wanted anything unpleasant to happen to him.

But even if the State of Chu did this, and even betrayed his former suzerain, the descendants still did not look at him with colored glasses, on the contrary, everyone remembered that the State of Chu was at its strongest, which is very revealing.

And what Zhang Nan wants to do is to build Datang into a country like Chu, that is, no matter what he does, future generations will only remember when Datang was the strongest, as for whether it is treacherous or what dirty things have been done, it is negligible.

After all, the future generation of the world's policeman, Lao Mei, can overthrow a regime with a tube of laundry detergent, and even judge the leader of a small country. That's the benefit of strength.

When it comes to the most excessive, the world police don't even need to take out a tube of laundry detergent, and they only need a word to be able to casually invade a country, which is the advantage of being strong.

Although Zhang Nan doesn't like war, Zhang Nan clearly knows that if he is strong, he can avoid the iron law of bringing war to his country.

"Why is the eldest grandson so rigid in rules and regulations? There has never been any question of faith between these countries, all of them are interests first, and the eldest grandson can carefully recall how we are to the Western Turks. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Zhang Nan still has a certain truth in saying this, at least when Datang attacked the Turks, he only moved against the Eastern Turks, not against the Western Turks, and after capturing Jieli back to Chang'an City, Datang did not continue to look for the Turks.

The implication is that as long as the Turks don't jump around, then they must be safe and sound, and in order to make this group of Turks obedient, Zhang Nan even thought of the method of sheep eating people, and the Tang Dynasty vigorously traded with the Turks, and tried to use grain instead of copper coins when trading, but this still did not stop the betrayal of the Western Turks.

"It's not that our Datang is treacherous, it's just that Dashi gave more favorable conditions than our Datang, so the Western Turks rebelled, it's as simple as that, just because of interests, the Western Turks can help Dashi get rid of the former siblings, is it possible that Lord Sun still expects Dashi to have a gentleman's covenant with our Datang?" Zhang Nan asked.

The so-called loyalty is just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, and this sentence is applicable to people, and it is more appropriate to put it on the body of the country. After dealing with other countries for so long, doesn't the eldest grandson still understand that there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests? Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Zhang Nan said this, naturally from the perspective of a traverser, as a later generation, Zhang Nan has seen too many ups and downs, no eternal interests, even if it is now the loyal hardcore brother of the Tang Dynasty, Silla, Zhang Nan thinks that it is not very reliable, as long as one day Comrade Li Er dies, or Jindeman falls out of favor, Zhang Nan thinks that Silla will still stand up and bite the Tang Dynasty when necessary.

"Qingquan, what you said is a bit too absolute." Comrade Li Er said.

"Absolutely? The minister doesn't think so, besides, it's not necessarily that our Datang was the first to break the covenant, right? As a country whose etiquette education is not known how many times higher than theirs, is it possible that we still don't understand this truth? If you want to betray, you must be betrayed first. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he handed Comrade Li Er a "you know" look, and Comrade Li Er immediately understood.

"Okay, since you have decided to establish diplomatic relations, then don't think too much, if Da Shi can agree to Qingquan's this."

"Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence."

"Yes, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, then it's not impossible for us to give Da Shi a chance, besides, we have read the books of the saints, and we can't always think about fighting and killing, right? As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, this simple and easy-to-understand truth is still clear to you. Li Erdao.

The courtiers saw that Comrade Li Er was determined to establish diplomatic relations with Da Shi, so naturally they wouldn't say anything, after all, they also knew in their hearts that as long as the teacher was famous, then the rest would not be a problem, and as for whether Da Shi and Da Tang were in a state of peace, it was not a question for them to consider at all.

And the generals think more simply, it is the same for them to establish diplomatic relations or not, anyway, they still have to fight in the end, then they only need to think about how to win the big food.
