The gentle breeze in the river blew, and Yue Fei's frowning expression naturally caught Lin Fan's attention.

“Pengju, if you have anything to say, it’s okay to say it!”

"You are not a mother-in-law's person."

Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun was also attracted by Lin Fan's words and looked at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "My lord, maybe I think it is simple, but if I don't ask this question, I will feel uneasy."

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

Yue Fei said: "Whether it is the grasslands to the north, the Western Regions to the west, or South Vietnam and other places, their strength is far inferior to ours, and the place they occupy has a harsh climate, either too cold or too hot. What is the use of such a place?"

"Even if we take it, can we hold it?"

"Even if we can hold on, how much food and grass will be lost?"

"It is unavoidable to put the finances into a dilemma for these barren lands."

Although Yue Fei didn't finish his words, the meaning behind them was that these places were like chicken ribs, useless to eat and a pity to abandon.

After thinking about Zhao Yun for a moment, Yuwen Chengdu also had a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Ye Feng glanced at Yue Fei approvingly: "Pengju, do you think China is higher or lower than the barbarians?"

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of pride rose in his eyes: "How can the barbarians be compared with us?"

"Even if the world is in chaos and the princes are rising together, neither the Wuhuan in the north of Youzhou nor the Xiongnu outside Bingzhou dare to touch our edge. We, the Chinese, can destroy them with our hands."

"Their only advantage is that they can fight and move, and their riding skills are superb. If they are the enemy head-on, many barbarians will be wiped out by me, China."

Lin Fan looked at Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun on the side.

"You think so too?"

Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun nodded subconsciously: "That is to say, they don't like to build city-states, otherwise ripping them out one by one would be like picking things out of a bag."

Feeling the contempt from the three people, Lin Fan sighed softly.

He comes from a later generation, so he naturally knows that after the Three Kingdoms, not long after the unification, there will be a tragedy of Wuhu chaos.

In those decades, all the nomadic peoples really used large tracts of land in China as hunting pastures. You just sing and I come on stage.

For the first time, the Chinese nation was threatened with national subjugation and genocide.

The root cause of all this is naturally that the Troubled Times of the Three Kingdoms lasted for too long. The chaos lasted for a hundred years, the population was declining, and the people were miserable, which finally gave the nomadic people an opportunity.

So from the first day of this era, Lin Fan made up his mind that he would never let tragedy happen again.

Calming his mind, Lin Fan said: "China has been strong and prosperous since ancient times, but if the troubled times last for a hundred years, the people's livelihood is in decline, and the country is weakened, do you think you can still easily crush those barbarians at that time?"

"If it weren't for my appearance, and all the princes in the world would be fighting against each other, how long would it take for them to be truly unified?"

Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, and Yuwen Chengdu thought deeply and suddenly felt numbness in their backs.

If Lin Fan hadn't appeared, all the princes would still be acting in the name of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the central government would have no power at all, and they would divide control and attack each other. If there is no clear leader, how long will it take for the world to end completely in chaos?
Ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or longer?
If there really is a war between the two countries for hundreds of years, when both sides suffer, and the barbarians outside the pass move south one after another, who can stop them?
Taking in a breath of cold air, a look of solemnity flashed across the faces of the three of them.

"Is this why my lord wants to expand his territory?"

"Want to nip these dangers in the bud?"

Lin Fan shook his head again: "This is one of the reasons, but it is by no means the most important."

"Born in sorrow, die in peace."

"If there are no other threats around, it will only make the Chinese nation complacent and arrogant." "What's more, as Peng Ju said, we can take it, but we can't always control it."

"Because fundamentally speaking, it is a barbarian land, remote and desolate."

Yue Fei was puzzled: "Lord, what is the most important reason?"

Lin Fan smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. It sets a benchmark for future generations."

"Set a benchmark for future generations?"

Lin Fan nodded: "These desolate places may not continue to be desolate in the future. Conquering them now is equivalent to setting a standard for future generations to trace their origins."

"No matter when we talk about it, this is the place occupied by China, and there are traces to follow."

This was something Lin Fan suddenly thought of.

Territorial disputes in later generations are often accompanied by tracing the origins.

If he can make a good start, and if future generations have the ability, all territories will have traces to follow, and who can surpass them when the truth arises?
This is just one of them.

more importantly.
Looking at Yue Fei, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun in front of them, they all stared at themselves.

Lin Fan came back to his senses and continued to smile: "What's more important is to let future generations understand what it means to be an emperor through the ages."

"Ok?"

There was a flash of confusion in the eyes of the three of them. It was obvious that their brain circuits were a bit insufficient and they did not understand what Lin Fan meant.

Lin Fan continued to explain: "Since the First Empress of Qin, who dares to claim the throne without conquering the world?"

"I believe that even if thousands of years pass, people who have not unified the north and the south will only feel ashamed rather than secretly complacent."

"That's why Qin Shihuang can be regarded as an emperor throughout the ages."

"But back then he defeated the six countries, and then he had the last laugh. Now it is obviously easier to dominate the world than before."

"In this case, the standards of this eternal emperor will naturally be raised."

"If you want to pursue this title and leave a lasting name in history, you have to really show your ability. Otherwise, how can anyone be worthy of becoming a Zen or an emperor for all eternity?"

"As long as such a monarch appears every hundred years, China will not decline and will only continue to be prosperous and strong."

"I cannot prevent the Chinese nation from declining, but what I can do is to extend the era of China's prosperity and long-lasting prosperity."

After saying these words, the three people present were filled with excitement and looked at Lin Fan with deep admiration.

How can a person who can consider the entire nation and do everything for the entire nation not let them serve it from the bottom of their hearts?
Yue Fei, who was originally full of doubts, suddenly realized: "Lord, I understand."

"I am thinking about the present, but you are thinking about thousands of years from now."

"I believe that even if the Chinese nation declines, there will still be people who will use the lord as a benchmark and lead unyielding and proud people to continue to expand their territory."

"Let China's prestige spread throughout the world."

"Everywhere the sun and moon shine is trembling with fear from the power of China."

In Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun laughed excitedly: "The beginning of this prosperous age lies with the Lord and with us."

"I am so lucky to be born in the same era as my lord!!"

"Ha ha!!"

The hearty laughter sounded again, hovering in the sky and never dissipated for a long time (End of Chapter)
