Chapter 89: Talking About the World

Li Xiu only knew that the bearded guest had established a force overseas and was also known as the Fuyu Kingdom. However, he was not very clear about when the Fuyu Kingdom was founded and where it was founded. Some novels say that the so-called Fuyu Kingdom was actually in Japan, and they don’t know whether it was true or false. Today, I can finally verify it in person.︾

"Wa? It used to belong to Japan, but now it's not!" The bearded guest smiled and replied, not knowing if it was Li Xiu's illusion. He always felt that the bearded smile had a bloody smell in the smile.

"Water is the Japanese that angered Yang Guang because of the 'the emperor's sunrise is nowhere to be written by the emperor'?" Ma Ye and Qin Qiong asked in surprise when they heard this. The so-called 'the emperor's sunrise is nowhere to be written by the emperor' actually refers to the fact that during the former Sui Dynasty, the Japanese sent envoys to pay tribute. However, the king of the Japanese called himself the emperor of the Sunrise, calling Yang Guang the emperor of the Sunless Emperor. His tone was very arrogant, which also angered Yang Guang and thus cut off contacts with Japan.

"That's right, it's that Japan!" The bearded guest nodded and replied, "Water is located on the eastern seaside of Goguryeo and other three countries, and only crosses a strait in the middle. Japan has three islands, with Honshu Island the largest. The place where I live is located in the southernmost part of Japan. Although the area of ​​this island is not as large as that of Honshu Island, its area can be compared with a prefecture in the Central Plains. Now the northern part of the Kazuma Island is taken over by Japan, as for the south, hehe~"

The bearded guest smiled again at the end of the story, then lowered his head and savored the strong wine. Although he didn't finish it, Li Xiu and the others understood what he meant. Among them, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong also looked at each other in surprise. They had also heard about the bearded guest and knew that he was not a person who was willing to be inferior to others. Now it seems that this is true. The Central Plains failed to compete for hegemony, and they actually went overseas to establish a force. No wonder his poem just now had the sentence "Being the King of Overseas".

When Li Xiu heard this, he secretly curled his lips. Although Japan occupied four large islands in later generations, Hokkaido was actually occupied later. For a long time in ancient times, Japan also occupied the central and southern part of Honshu Island, most of the four countries and the northern part of Kyushu Island. Kyushu Island is also the Zhuzi Island in the mouth of the bearded guest. As for other places, they all had their own separatist forces and did not belong to Japan at all. It was not until later that it was slowly occupied by Japan.

Although Zhuzi Island is not small, the bearded guest only occupies the south. In addition, as Li Xiu knows, the southern part of Zhuzi Island has always been a settlement of pirates, including Han people, Japanese people, Goguryeo, etc. Almost everyone who eats food at sea likes to run there. Therefore, the bearded guest said that he occupied the southern part of Zhuzi Island, and in fact he was just a big pirate leader.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that Japanese women like to dye their teeth black and their makeup is very strange. I wonder if it is true?" At this time, Mr. Ma asked again with great enthusiasm. Although the bearded guest was the king, it was also overseas and had no conflict with the Tang Dynasty. So even if the Emperor Majesty knew about it, it was nothing, so he didn't care even more.

"Haha, this is true, and not all women are qualified to dye their teeth black. Only some noble women do this. It is said that the dye for black teeth is very precious, and they also like to apply a thick layer of powder on their faces. They look like white and black teeth. Think about it, when I first saw such a woman, I kicked her under the bed with one kick. From then on, I will never dare to ask for Japanese women again!" When talking about women, the bearded guest also seemed very excited, which is also a common problem for men.

"Hahahaha~, Brother Zhang is indeed a person with temperament. Speaking of which, it is my Tang Dynasty woman who likes her. When someone gave me a Persian Hu girl, the taste is simply unbearable..."

Mr. Ma is also an indecent person. When he mentioned that women were also excited, he also talked about his experience in women. As a result, he became more and more speculative with the bearded guest, and burst into laughter from time to time.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiu was a little helpless, thinking that Qin Qiong was a little more upright and disdained to discuss this issue at all. But what Li Xiu never expected was that just as he thought of this, Qin Qiong suddenly interrupted: "In my opinion, it is still Silla's gentle and petite woman who is loved by others. Some time ago, Silla gave Qin a few beauties to King Qin. Qin was fortunate to get one..."

"Boom~" Li Xiu only felt that the idol in his heart collapsed suddenly. Is this still the Qin Qiong who was loyal and filial in his impression? But when he thought about it carefully, it was completely different from the righteousness, filial piety and greed. Moreover, for men of this era, especially those with strength and status like Qin Qiong and Ma Ye, it is normal to take a few beautiful concubines.

Listening to the three uncle-level figures discussing the characteristics of beauties from various countries, which were mixed with the bearded guest's complaints about Japanese women. In fact, Li Xiu wanted to interrupt at this time and told them that Japanese women actually have good ones, such as Ozawa, Mingbu and others in later generations. Now, I really miss the folder in my computer that was set as a hidden folder, which is hundreds of g, and I don't know which guy who bought a second-hand computer is cheaper/

Several men gathered together, either talking about women or state affairs. Ma Ye and the other three talked about women for a long time, and the final topic finally turned to the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. The bearded guest praised the development of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. Speaking of which, since the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, all the anti-kings fought endlessly and wanted to win the world. It was already too late for Li Yuan to raise an army, but in just a few years, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the anti-kings with a sweep force, and even repelled the Turkic attack. It can be said that the national foundation of the Tang Dynasty has been solid and it is basically unlikely to shake the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Listening to Ma Ye and the others' discussion, Li Xiu yawned a little bored. He was really uninterested in these topics and even felt very bored. However, he had a headache. After the party was over, he was afraid that the bearded guest would take him to see Li Jing. What should he do? He didn't want to have any connection with Li Jing anymore, so he had to find a way to get out.

"Nephew, I heard from Brother Ma that you have a different view on the general trend of the world, why do you keep silent?" Just as Li Xiu was thinking of a way to escape, he suddenly heard the bearded guest ask him loudly.

"Ah? Is there any?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then smiled and said modestly, "Uncle, you are all the few heroes in the world, and your knowledge is very comparable. I, a junior, will not come out to show my ugly face!"

"See, this kid is obviously capable, but he always likes to hide it!" Ma Ye pointed at Li Xiu and smiled at Qin Qiong and the bearded guest, and then said to Li Xiu, "If you have any opinions, just say it directly. I heard from the princess that when you were in Qingzhou, you offered a set of strategies to split the Turks. Even the King of Qin was stunned by you, and later he admired you very much, so don't hide your weakness!"

"The King of Qin is a dragon and phoenix among people. If you can make him admire him so much, you must have extraordinary insights. Let me tell you quickly!" The bearded guest was in high spirits at this time, and laughed at the next bowl of wine.

Over the years, he stayed in an overseas barbarian land like Zhuzidao. He usually wanted to find someone who was qualified to talk to him. Now he met three at once, so he naturally became excited. Moreover, from the conversation just now, the bearded guest found that Ma Ye and Qin Qiong both admired Li Xiu, which also made him even more curious about Li Xiu. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated this nephew before.

"Since you uncle, you want to hear it, then my nephew is ugly!" Li Xiu refused, but he had to think about it and said, "After Liu Heita's death, the general situation in the world has been decided. Although there are still some forces in various places who are unwilling to surrender, they are just a moss of grudges and are not worth worrying. It can be said that there is no big threat within the Tang Dynasty."

When he said this, Li Xiu paused and continued: "In contrast, there are many threats outside the Tang Dynasty, so the Turks will not talk about it. Although the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang retreated from the opponent's attack last year, with the character of the Turks, they will definitely make a comeback in the future. In addition, there are countries such as Gaochang in the west, Tuyuhun and Tubo in the south, and Goguryeo in the northeast. Although the strength of these countries is not as strong as that of the Turks, they are likely to take advantage of our Tang Dynasty when the Tang Dynasty is newly established and its military strength is exhausted, so we must guard against it!"

In the later era of information development, Li Xiu's insights were not surprising at all. However, in the era of poor information circulation in the Tang Dynasty, many ordinary people only knew what was happening around them for the rest of their lives and knew nothing about things a hundred miles away. Therefore, his ability to analyze the general trend of the world so clearly also surprised the three bearded guests. In particular, Li Xiu's eyes no longer focused on the Tang Dynasty, but on the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty. This vision was really shocking.

"I'm less than twenty years old, I'm so far-sighted. Compared with my nephew, the sons in my family are so different!" The bearded guest was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed in a low voice. He always regarded himself very well. There were very few people in the world who could catch his eyes, but he couldn't teach his son. None of the dozen sons was decent, let alone compared with Li Xiu in front of him. This was also his most regrettable thing.

"Li Xiu, although my Tang Dynasty was newly established, its military strength was strong. Even the Turks were defeated by our Tang Dynasty. Do those surrounding small countries really dare to take risks and cause trouble?" Qin Qiong suddenly put forward different opinions at this time. He was a rare brave general and was proficient in military tactics. Unfortunately, his knowledge in the general trend of the world was better than that of the general, so he could only be a general and not a general.

"Among all the small countries around, Gaochang and other countries in the northwest are too far away. There are no need to worry for the time being. The three Goguryeo in the northeast are full of internal conflicts. In addition, the three Sui campaigns against Goguryeo in the first three times, which caused Goguryeo to decline significantly. There are no need to worry for the time being, but Tuyuhun in the south has to be guarded. If I guess well, there may be some changes in the south in the near future. General Qin might as well remind the King of Qin to prepare early!" Li Xiu said with a faint smile.

He also thought of Tuyuhun just now. He did not want to participate in the military and national affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but he thought of another thing, which made him have a sudden inspiration and took the initiative to remind him, and all this was prepared to cheat someone!
