Du Ruhui is a national soldier who is very accomplished and capable in all aspects, and his strategy may not be as sharp as Fang Xuanling's strategy in military affairs, but if you want to make a decision, choose a decision suitable for the Tang Dynasty from Fang Xuanling's various suggestions, so Suning will say some ideas, tell Du Ruhui, and listen to his views, which are of great benefit to these decisions that are important to the people.

Since Du Ruhui has a good impression of the establishment of a standing army, that means that this thing can be implemented nine times out of ten, there are always such people in Datang, there is no hope of entering a military school, and he doesn't like to study, so there is no other way out, join this army, become a professional soldier, fight for Datang for life, retire at the age of fifty, and the Tang government will be fully responsible for the days to come, as long as you survive, the government will bear the life after the age of fifty.

This army, is the main force of the future conquest of the Western Regions to clean up the Tubo people, whether it is in the Western Regions or in Tubo, can not solve the battle in the short term, so it is necessary to garrison for a long time, the biggest deficiency of the ancient Chinese army is that it is difficult to expand the fruits of victory, often send troops to foreign countries to achieve a victory and then collect troops and return home, the fruits of victory can not be guaranteed, after a period of time their strength is restored, and then harass the Central Plains, the Central Plains Empire can not afford to consume.

How did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deal with the Xiongnu? The large-scale and sustained blows, at the cost of consuming half of the population left by the rule of Wenjing, completely solved the problem of the Xiongnu, and the opposition forces in the court before the last war were unprecedentedly huge, and they all thought that there was no need to continue to fight, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a desperate bet. Against public opinion, he gathered 100,000 iron cavalry and 500,000 infantry soldiers and civilians to launch the final decisive battle between Han and Hungary, and finally completely defeated the Xiongnu, which is extremely rare in world history.

At that time, under the productivity and transportation environment, the farming people were destined to be in a disadvantageous position in the hands of the nomads, as long as they had horses, sheep, water and grass, they could live, and they were erratic, but the farming people settled in a certain place and would not leave, and the so-called strategy of feeding the war by war was considered to be detrimental to the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and the post-war treaty was never taken seriously. So the attrition of an agrarian nation to wage a war is staggering.

The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was opposed by almost the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was because once the final decisive battle was launched. Then the loss is immeasurable, in fact, the world's historical researchers are also shocked by the decisive battle of Mobei in the Han Dynasty of China, and it is almost impossible for an agrarian nation to launch such a continuous attack on a nomadic people for such a long time. This is the only example in the world.

Although the Han dynasty paid the price for half of the population. The abundant national strength left by the rule of Wenjing was exhausted. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict and began to recuperate, but the result was that the Xiongnu no longer had the strength to fight the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu who had pressed on the Han Dynasty for decades were completely overturned, and they could no longer afford to turn over the big storms, and as for the Hun Empire represented by Attila, who shocked Europe hundreds of years later, it was no longer a simple Hun during the Han Dynasty.

In fact, except for the Turks, the Tang Dynasty did not have such a strong opponent that endangered national security, only the Han Empire and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could have such strength and courage, and play a song in the history of the world.

The main reason for this is the lack of customs and the national army system that China has been inseparable from its homeland since ancient times, as well as the lack of operational guiding ideology, but if the latter two can be solved, the first element can be ignored in a certain way. To put it mildly, Xiang Yu's words are actually very realistic, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, but if there are no relatives and old friends in the township, what if you go back?

If the Tang Dynasty wants to control the Western Regions and Tibet for a long time in the future, then the government soldier system will not be able to supply enough troops at all, there are not enough Han people in the local area, there is no Han population, where can there be soldiers under the government soldier system, and the local foreigners cannot enter the Tang Dynasty army as soldiers, so they can only be recruited from the mainland, and the soldiers in the interior are all government soldiers, they also have farm work to do, and they also have to undertake family tasks, and they will leave for several years at once, and the government soldiers must be dissatisfied.

The standing army is very necessary, once the standing army is established, it will not be so difficult to deal with the Western Regions and Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty will not be unable to continue to develop to Central Asia after the defeat of the Battle of Hengrus, there is a professional army in hand, no matter how far away, it can be sent out to fight, although the consumption is very large, but if the Tang Dynasty's finances are abundant, after Li Er Majesty takes a fancy to the advantages of this system, whether the government army system can continue to develop, is to be discussed.

There are only 100 people in the negotiation team, in addition to Du Ruhui and Suning, there are ten main officials of the Zongheng Division accompanied, and the rest except for the guards are the new students of the Zongheng Division, who are very promising and capable, so they will be taken outside to see and apply what they have learned, the Zongheng Division is not a place to learn Confucian classics, and the Zongheng Division is a place to learn how to fight for the maximum interests of the Tang Dynasty.

The students who came out of these places are all negotiators that the Tang government relies on a lot, and after each war, there will be their survival zài and the defeated tribal states to sign an unequal jump, abolishing their ability to make a comeback, which has been widely recognized by the Tang Dynasty and the opposition since the Western Turkic mutiny, and the subsequent repeated negotiations were completed by the Zongheng Division alone under the leadership of Du Ruhui, and the task was completed quite perfectly, and the reputation of the Zongheng Division became higher and higher.

After the establishment of the University of Political Science and Law, the Zongheng College, which originally belonged to the Zongheng Division, was also included in the University of Political Science and Law, in the face of the enrollment of the whole society, of course, the recruitment and training of the most secret blood drops can only be implemented within the Zongheng Division, the Zongheng Division has been on the right track, and the whole Datang has also acquiesced to the rise and revival of the Zongheng School, and Du Ruhui has become a representative figure of the Zongheng School, and he has more prestige than Suning, the ancestor of the revival.

The awakening of the soldiers, the rise of the Zongheng family, the revival of Legalism is imminent, the Mohists have been working in the Ministry of Industry, and the four most practical and important schools of thought have re-embarked on the road of rejuvenation, as for Confucianism and Taoism, the two philosophical schools that mainly explore the principles of human ethics. Temporarily ignored by people, although the scribes still regard themselves as Confucians, but what Confucianism can do, they themselves feel very confused, so a large number of Confucian students have also entered the University of Political Science and Law to study law and vertical and horizontal studies, Suning feels that whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, it is better to use it for philosophical purposes, and it is too negative to govern the country.

The legalists are trying to build a country based on the rule of law. But because of the emperor's existence of zài, there is a fatal flaw. Because the emperor is above the law, when the emperor has to bend down to the law, it can be regarded as the real success of the legal system. Governance of the country needs to be based on the rule of law. Supplemented by Confucianism and Taoism. Like Dong Zhongshu, he can only attract cool officials, and he won't get anything.

In fact, Suning really wants to criticize Dong Zhongshu. But considering that his celestial induction is very highly respected by Li Er's majesty, and it involves the fundamental meaning of imperial power, Suning still decided to slow down, Dong Zhongshu is really cunning, and one move of celestial induction tied Confucianism and the royal family together, if it weren't for the Confucian giants who isolated themselves from the world, Suning really had no way to deal with them.

The road ahead is difficult and dangerous......

Thirteen days later, the negotiation team led by Du Ruhui and Suning arrived at the original border of Tuyuhun, where Li Shiji personally led people to greet him, and met Du Ruhui, the boss of the vertical and horizontal division, Li Shiji inevitably wanted to come up and stammer, the vertical and horizontal division is now worthy of the name of the second department of the Tang Dynasty, the first is Shangshu Province, the second is the vertical and horizontal division, the level is the division, but Li Shiji always feels that this vertical and horizontal division is very likely to be upgraded to the vertical and horizontal province in the future, becoming the fourth province after the three provinces, no way, the involvement is too wide.

"This little thing actually bothered Du Xiang to come in person, and he really didn't want to go!" Li Shiji smiled, looking at him a little contemptuous in Suning's eyes, this guy is also very smart, he knows who should be stammered and who is not, although after the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the civil and military affairs have nothing to do with each other, but Du Ruhui is an exception, and the Vertical and Horizontal Division is also an exception, the Vertical and Horizontal Division is a civilian department, but it holds the core interests of the military general group - the Western Turkic Caravan.

So no military general dared to give Du Ruhui any face, even Hou Junji, a figure who was not afraid of heaven and earth, would obediently shout "Du Xianggong", but now there is no need, Li Erma personally ordered to deprive the Hou Junji family of all the interests in the Western Turks, Hou Junji paid a heavy price, and completely deterred those military generals who were not very peaceful, and at the same time, the generals also realized that the vertical and horizontal division was actually a sword hanging over their heads.

The one who holds such a key position as the Zongheng Division must be Li Erma's absolute cronies, and he must be a fairly fair figure, otherwise the generals will feel quite unsafe if they are not satisfied, because no matter what, the Zongheng Division is in charge of their economic lifeline, and the Zongheng Division is directly responsible to the emperor, that is, the emperor controls their economic lifeline, if such a position is a flattering villain, can the generals still have a good life?

Du Ruhui is a character who can make them feel convinced, in fact, Du Ruhui is also doing very well, so the generals can ignore other civil officials, but they can definitely not ignore Du Ruhui, history is classified as the second person in the military general group, and he will be the number one person immediately, but he is still controlled by Du Ruhui.

Of course, Du Ruhui understood the trickiness, so he smiled mildly and said: "General Li praised it falsely, the old man just came to negotiate on the orders of His Majesty, and if he doesn't understand, he still needs a lot of help from General Li!" ”

Li Shiji immediately said: "That's nature, hahahaha!" Oh? Sanming, you're also there, hahaha, it's just right, that group of boys are now in the army, and they talk about you all day long, so go over and meet them! ”

Suning rolled his eyes, I'll go! I can't spare you, you old fellow!

Du Ruhui and Li Shiji laughed and talked all the way to the barracks, Li Shiji immediately ordered a big banquet, so that all the generals in the army came to participate in the banquet, and treated Du Ruhui well, Suning was thrown out of the camp tent, and was taken away by Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, two strong men, brothers don't want to fight in all directions, you kid enjoy it in Chang'an, and finally look forward to your kid, you have to have some blood......

The banquet in the military tent had not officially begun, Li Shiji was chatting with Du Ruhui, and when he was chatting with interest, the soldiers outside came to report: "General, the commander of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, is here." ”

Du Ruhan frowned, remembering Suning's jealousy of Lu Dongzan, and couldn't help but be on guard, but Li Shiji said very easily: "General Lu Dongzan is the negotiation envoy of the Tibetan side this time, since Du Xiang is here today, then I will meet with him, it can be regarded as getting to know him, understanding it, and talking about it after the formal peace talks start tomorrow." ”

Du Ruhui nodded, and when Li Shiji saw this, he said, "Go and invite General Lu Dongzan to come in!" ”

The pro-soldiers were ordered to retreat, and after a while, the pro-soldiers shouted outside: "General Lu Dongzan, the commander of Tubo, has arrived!" ”

Li Shiji shouted: "Please! ”

The soldiers opened the curtain, a tall Tubo man walked into the military tent, as soon as he entered the military tent, Du Ruhui's eyes flashed, and he stared at the eyes of the Tubo man, the Tubo man was Lu Dongzan, saw a middle-aged Han man in a scribe's costume looking at him, his heart tightened, and he did not hesitate to meet Du Ruhui's gaze, and looked at each other like this, Lu Dongzan quickly realized that he had met a strong opponent.
