Chapter 342: Medicine Luo Ge Khan: Is it too late to regret it now?
The medicine Luo Gediyin Khan, who originally thought that the Great Zhou had swept 20,000 li of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains and the northern country in two or three years, should also stop the pace of conquest, start cultivating and recuperating, digesting and absorbing.
Even Yaoluo Gediyin Khan believed that the territory of the Great Zhou Empire today had surpassed the previous dynasties since ancient times, and had reached the limit of an empire.
If there are more territories, I am afraid that it will not be able to operate as an arm, just like a bloated giant, if the veins in the body are blocked, it will be necrotic, birth and death and the hidden danger of fragmentation.
Falling on an empire, too vast territory, if 09 does not have an effective ruling team, it will breed various problems, and then quickly fall apart.
Therefore, whether it was from the perspective of facilitating rule or cultivating and restoring strength, the Great Zhou Empire should stop its conquest.
Just like when the Great Song Dynasty was just founded, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin unified the chaos since the Five Bags and Ten Kingdoms, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was in Later Shu. After Wu Yue and other five dynasties and ten kingdoms were unified, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin closed the territory of the Great Song.
And once held a jade axe in front of the minister, pointed to the map of the world, and set the border of the Great Song.
At that time, Emperor Taizu of Song pointed with a jade axe to the great river in the southwest adjacent to the Kingdom of Dali, and said to his ministers: “My border with the Great Song will end here.” ”
Among them, although there is the name of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin who wants to achieve a benevolent king, there is also the reason why the Great Song at that time was simply unable to conquer the countries in all directions.
Not even to mention the inability to conquer, even if the Great Song had the ability to conquer the Dali Kingdom at that time, I am afraid that he did not have the heart to rule. Just like when Liu Bei entered Shu, it was difficult to conquer the southern barbarians in Shu.
Yaoluo Ge Khan, as the khan of the Ganzhou Uighurs, is not a brainless person, but he has systematically learned the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child, and he also knows this story of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Therefore, he believes that the territory of the Great Zhou today is already two or three times more than that of the Zhao and Song dynasties at that time, and there is still surplus.
It has also expanded to the limit of an empire, even if this Ganzhou and Hexi corridor once belonged to the Central Plains. But with the vastness of the territory of the Great Zhou today, the status of the Great Zhou Tianzi is now noble.
It should no longer look at this Hexi corridor, which has no interests and value.
After all, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains and Hexi have been divided into power, the city head has changed the banner of the king, and the forces of all parties have rotated like horses.
The war never stops.
Therefore, the Silk Road, which was once flat, was also cut off because of war and banditry.
Until the time of the Great Song Dynasty, a maritime silk road was opened. Compared to the Silk Road on the road, although the distance is a little farther. However, it saves manpower and material resources, and the huge sea ship 890 can transport goods at one time, and many horse-drawn carriages cannot transport.
So the overland Silk Road has little value.
No matter which way you look at it. The Great Zhou should stop the rest and recuperate, and no longer look at the barren land of Ganzhou in the northwest.
But this Yaoluo Ge Khan never expected that not long after receiving the news that the 300,000 tribal alliance army in Mobei had been pacified by the Great Zhou, the heavenly soldiers of the Great Zhou appeared in Ganzhou!
This is simply the speed of the soldiers, like a heavenly soldier! Don’t give Roge Khan a little time to prepare!
At this moment, Yao Luo Ge Khan even began to regret it a little!.
