Chapter 278: War is more than just marching battles
"Why should you be angry about this?" Tukun waved his hand calmly. "Look at these Han people, even if they want to kill you, but on the surface, they will smile and groan, as if you are his best friend. These are the strengths of the Han people, and the strengths that we need to learn. Otherwise, how could we have the opportunity to occupy this rich Central Plains and the beautiful land south of the Yangtze River......"
"The master has great ambitions, and I can't wait too much." Alf bowed down and stroked his chest.
"This person has excellent medical skills, and he is extraordinary in his conversation, and he has a bold mind, and he is by no means extraordinary. If he could, I wish he could be my subordinate and serve me so that I could rule the Khu. Tukun looked out of the door of the ward, his long and narrow eyes full of light.
Duan Shaojun didn't have the time to play Tai Chi with Na Tu Kun, and after leaving the ward, he was stopped by Mr. Wu and chatted about Tu Kun's condition for a while, until Li Xuan finished shopping and came to the door, so he let Duan Shaojun leave.
"You mean, that Qihu man named Tukun came to my Jiangnan to buy medicinal herbs? This shouldn't be too much of a problem. Li Xuan touched his chin and said with a disapproving expression.
"He told me that he needs to purchase Jinchuang medicine in large quantities and on a large scale?" Duan Shaojun lowered his voice and said.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then his brows were condensed together. "That's what he said?"
#####
After seeing Duan Shaojun nodded, Li Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Qihu is a fierce rival of the Tang Empire, especially since his father and emperor, even more so after he ascended the throne.
In other words, when the Tang Empire was strong, the vast prairie in the north. It's just a land of horse grazing in the Tang Empire. But. When the Tang Empire weakened. And those nomads on the steppe became the fierce enemies of the Tang Empire.
After his father ascended the throne, for at least seven or eight years, he was at war with the northern Qihu. There, karma has become a quagmire in which the empire has fallen. However, I had to continue to insist, otherwise. When the Qihu completely unified the grassland land, at that time, the Tang Empire would inevitably undergo the most difficult test since the founding of the country.
“…… What else did he say? Did you say who the Chihu was going to wage war against? As one of the princes, Li Xuan naturally became nervous, the Tang Dynasty's country, but his old Li family's country.
"Listening to what he meant, it seems that Qihu is not interested in fighting with the Tang Dynasty for the time being, but is aimed at those enemies on the grassland." Duan Shaojun said after thinking about it. "However, no one can guarantee that this kid is telling the truth."
"In that case, do we need to do this business with them?" After thinking about it for a long time. Li Xuan couldn't help but say with some hesitation.
"I don't think it's good to do it, no one is sure. Where are they going to attack? After Duan Shaojun exhaled slowly, he raised his gaze and looked north. War doesn't just happen on the battlefield. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. "Do you mean that not selling them the gold creation medicine will also have an impact on the direction of the war?"
After Duan Shaojun looked at Li Xuan with a foolish look, he said slowly: "I remember that since the Qin and Han dynasties, the empire of the Central Plains has always banned the sale of salt and iron to the nomads in the north. ”
After Li Xuan opened his mouth, he rubbed his face embarrassedly. "That's true, I'm sorry I accidentally forgot about it. However, in addition to the forbidden things, listening to what you mean, it seems that there are other aspects that will also affect the war? ”
"Of course, war is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of interests......" Duan Shaojun sniffed very much, and said such a sentence that countless people in later generations are familiar with.
"Brother, you can't fool your little brother, right?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Shaojun with a look of awe, although he didn't understand what politics was, and he didn't know that the extension of politics had a half-dime relationship with war, but seeing Duan Shaojun's unfathomable look still made him deeply feel unclear.
"Is this going to fool you? I mean, that's the truth. Duan Shaojun glared at the goods angrily, manipulated the mount under him to let go and galloped.
When I returned to the courtyard, it was time for lunch, and the little short-legged Doudou appeared in time, and suddenly threw himself into Duan Shaojun's arms, giggling non-stop. Duan Shaojun hugged this pink and cute little girl with a doting face, and pinched the tip of her nose affectionately. "Little girl, why are you so happy?"
"My mother promised me to take me shopping today and buy me candy." Xiao Doudou said with a smug face. It was as if I had won a 5 million lottery jackpot. Xu Xiangjun, who was standing behind Xiao Doudou, couldn't help but feel guilty and apologetic, he had too little time to spend with his daughter.
"That's really worth rejoicing, remember, let your mother sell you a bigger candy man, so you can eat and play at the same time." Duan Shaojun nodded in agreement, pretending to mysteriously lean into Xiao Doudou's ear and said.
Little Doudou nodded understandingly. "Don't worry, uncle, I'm sure I'm going to be a big sugar man."
"Okay, come here, sit with your mother, don't disturb your Uncle Duan's meal." Xu Xiangjun stepped forward with a smile and said warmly to Xiaodoudou.
"No, I'm going to be with my uncle." Xiao Doudou shook his head very resolutely, holding Duan Shaojun's neck with both hands like a koala, with a posture of not letting go even if he killed me.
"It's okay, she likes to stay here." Duan Shaojun smiled helplessly, and waved his hand at Xu Xiangjun.
"You, just get used to her all day long. It's really ......" Xu Xiangjun complained in his mouth, but the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide it.
"Girl, it should be spoiled, let alone such a well-behaved and obedient little beauty, right, Xiaodoudou." Duan Shaojun laughed and said to Xiao Doudou, who was lying in his arms.
Xiao Doudou nodded happily, and after thinking about it, he pursed his ruddy little mouth and took a sip of incense on Duan Shaojun's cheek. "Uncle is the best, I like you the most."
Duan Shaojun couldn't help but laugh heartily. Xu Xiangjun shook his head helplessly, and after glaring at Xiao Doudou, he sat aside with some taste. "Why did you come back now, what if it wasn't that alien injury?"
"No, that guy is recovering well, and in a few days, even if he can't run and jump, he should be able to get out of bed and move." Under the command of Xiao Doudou, Duan Shaojun picked up a piece of roasted and fragrant dried pork and stuffed it into Xiao Doudou's mouth, watching his puffed cheeks chew and swallow slowly.
"After this time, Shaojun, the name of your miracle doctor, I am afraid that it will spread to the prairies in the north." Xu Xiangjun looked at Duan Shaojun's intimate behavior with Xiao Doudou, and when he thought that Xiao Doudou had been adopted by himself until now, there was no one to call his father, and there was a faint trace of sourness in his heart.

"Don't want this reputation. If it weren't for the fact that guy happened to be hit the Jiangnan realm, it would not be certain that he would not be cured. Duan Shaojun said after sighing lightly.
"Brother Tai's words are very good, Qihu is my Tang Dynasty's fierce rival, but unfortunately now the court is an eventful season, and it is impossible to level Qihu with all his strength, otherwise, there will be no chance for Qihu to be fierce." Li Xuanshen nodded approvingly, and then took a sip of wine.
"Brother Tai, just now you said on the road that what kind of war is political or something, what do you mean by that, and ask Brother Tai to solve the confusion for the younger brother."
"War is an extension of politics, and politics is an extension of interests." Duan Shaojun had no choice but to repeat it helplessly.
"What a strange statement, Shaojun, explain it quickly, my sister also wants to hear it, how can this war involve interests?" Xu Xiangjun is worthy of being an elite in the business world, and he immediately grasped the key point.
"Well, I'll tell you about it today. First of all, let me explain that politics is a term that you don't quite understand. The so-called politics refers to the process of collective decision-making by various groups, and it is also a specific relationship formed by various groups or individuals for their own interests, especially the rule of a political entity, such as ruling a country, and also refers to the supervision and control of a domestic and foreign affairs.
