Chapter 49 Leading and Powerful(2/2)
Li Ye could not say these words in public, so he could only bow to Peng Zushan, "Li Ye thanked his brother, thanked his respected teacher, and thanked him. Bailu Cave."
Hearing the word "Li Ye", Peng Zushan's eyes were as big as a bull's eyes. When King An faced him, he dared not slacken at all. He quickly turned sideways and said that he did not dare to accept Li Ye's courtesy. At the same time, he hurriedly clasped his fists, "Don't do this, King An is here to do this! Being able to serve the Tang Dynasty is a blessing for us!"
Li Ye opened his mouth and couldn't say a word in front of Li Xian for a moment.
King An, I am King Yean, but my king's title is a middle-aged man who inherits the broken green robe next to you and is covered in yellow sand! Why are you and me afraid? What should you be afraid of is this comrade beside you.
Li Xian seemed to notice Li Ye's discomfort, pulled him aside, looked out of the pass through the loess women's wall, and looked at the monks of the Shu who were ready to attack.
Li Xian pretended to be relaxed and calm, and said in a tone of chatting with Li Ye: "Peng Zushan has been in Shazhou for a long time. In order to help the Guiyi army defend the border, they did not have a relaxing day, and they had never wasted a moment.
"Before the magic weapon crossbow was made, they had improved the long bows, Fuyuan crossbows, arm-opening crossbows, horn-opening crossbows, etc. Even various armors became stronger than before in the hands of their master and disciple."
Speaking of this, Li Xian's smile became stronger and stronger. He looked at Li Ye and said slowly: "Do you know why the army of the prosperous Tang Dynasty can be invincible? Why can the border troops of the four towns of Anxi open a thousand miles for the dynasty?"
Li Ye has many answers to this question, such as the generals are both wise and brave, the Tang Dynasty is fierce, the emperor is wise and wise, the Tang army is the bravest warrior in the world, the Tang Dynasty is strong, but these answers are obviously not what Li Xian wanted to say at this time.
So Li Ye bowed and said, "I wish to hear it carefully."
Li Xian smiled happily like a child, "I know you have answers in your heart. Many answers, and your answers are actually correct. But what I want to say today is that the core reliance of the sons of the Tang Dynasty can expand their territory is actually three words: Han civilization."
Speaking of this, Li Xian paused, as if he was giving Li Ye time to think, "What is Han civilization? Why has Han civilization been strong and prosperous throughout the dynasties? In the past, the Five Barbarians invaded China, why did the wise monarchs of them eventually choose to learn Han civilization? Just to rule the Han people more conveniently? Of course not."
Li Xian looked at the monks' corps that had begun to approach the city gate, and his eyes were as calm as water, without any turmoil. He continued: "After all, it is the advanced and powerful Han civilization. Advanced and powerful. This is the core truth I have realized.
"Because it is advanced and powerful, all ethnic groups enter the land of Jiuzhou and learn from Han civilization as long as they have some knowledge. Advanced and powerful things will make them more incomparable. Who would not choose? So the question is, why is Han civilization advanced and powerful? Where do they manifest themselves?"
Li Ye did not answer the conversation, just listened quietly.
He knew that Li Xian had the answer.
Sure enough, Li Xian continued: "Han civilization is advanced, all-encompassing, and is a leading in all directions. Otherwise, there would not be those aliens who occupied the Central Plains who were willing to learn first and forth. And one of the important ones is craftsmanship and various craftsmanship. Yes, you are right, what I want to say is craftsmanship.
"The Tang army can expand its territory by expeditioning thousands of miles and a mere tens of thousands of border troops. The top priority it relies on is craftsmanship. We have the best armor, the strongest crossbow, and the most reasonable battle formation. Therefore, even if our skills in casting steel are not as strong as Persia, and even if our long swords are not as strong as them, Gao Xianzhi can still make them afraid!"
Speaking of this, Li Xian turned to look at Li Ye and asked solemnly: "Do you understand?"
Li Ye nodded and replied solemnly: "In this battle, no matter how many monks there are in the Shimen, Yangguan will not be lost. Because the strength of our army is all-round, our armor, bows and crossbows, and our magic weapon and crossbow will make them pay the price of their lives!"
