Chapter 840

"How can you, a little Hu, speak of war?" Yelu Kuan sarcastically.

It seems that the Liao Kingdom is indeed very concerned about the war in the Song Dynasty last year, and even Wang Ju laughed at Ali Gu, the little Hu Er, and found out.

Aligu stood there with a blushing face and didn't know what to say.

Wang Ju said, "Duke Rong, you retreat."

"Here." Aligu retreated.

Wang Ju looked at the two envoys of the Liao Kingdom and said, "Envoy Yelu, I still said that the two countries of Song and Liao are of equal strength. Once a war begins, it may be stalemate for decades or hundreds of years. If it really reaches this point, the people of both countries will be seriously implicated in the war and suffer from the lives of life. Therefore, neither your Majesty, nor some, or the ministers here, are willing to make a feud with your country again."

"But a person's patience is limited. Similarly, a country's patience is also limited. Since the alliance between the Song and Liao dynasties, although the border has been barely peaceful, your country has changed the 300,000 yuan monarch to 500,000 yuan and blackmailed 700 miles of territory in Hedong. In this way, our Song Dynasty is still patient. But if you ask your country what rights you have, you will point fingers at our Song Dynasty!"

"Western Xia has repeatedly invaded our Song Dynasty. Can't our dynasty fight back?"

"Or you think your Liao Kingdom is powerful, I don't know whether what the Goryeo envoy came over was true or false. If it was true, a scattered rebellion of various Jurchens could cause your Liao Kingdom to lose tens of thousands of troops and horses. It has not been settled yet. With such combat power, you might as well lead your troops for another two or three years to fight with your country at the city of Yanyun until you repair the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasty one by one before you withdraw from the political arena!"

If calculated based on the Great Wall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it starts with the ancient Great Wall in the northern part of Liangzhou and extends to Yinzhou. Then it gradually enters the territory of Liao, and all the sixteen states of Yanyun are in the pass.

If calculated based on the Qin Dynasty Great Wall, then push it north to Yinshan, and then continue to push it east to Baidali tribe, the Liao Kingdom's Zhongjing, Liaodong Shenzhou, Tokyo and other regions, all of which are included.

If calculated based on the Great Wall of the Western Han Dynasty, it will be pushed westward to Yumen Pass.

However, it was not because the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty was weakened, and by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no match for the Great Wall and there was no need to defend the Great Wall. Therefore, many Great Walls collapsed one after another due to disrepair.

But no matter which Great Wall is based on it, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun must be within the Great Wall Pass.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was extremely densely populated, which meant that the Song Dynasty had enough labor to build the Great Wall.

Moreover, after Wang Ju's adjustment for several years, the country also had sufficient financial resources. Just like the northwest fought for several consecutive years, the inland people of the Song Dynasty did not feel any impact of the war, and the entire country's economy was still developing at a rapid pace.

As long as the court is not in a hurry to achieve success, it will be divided into ten or eight years, and with the financial and labor of the Song Dynasty, it is easy enough to repair the ancient Great Wall.

If there is a Great Wall and the cooperation of forts and forts, once the Liao Kingdom loses it, it will never be able to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Yelu Kuan's color changes.

Wang Ju said: "For peace, our Song Dynasty has been tolerant, but your Liao Kingdom has repeatedly forced each other. I might as well use the help of Goryeo to send people to sneak into Liaodong and explore the reality of the Liaodong battle. If Goryeo is right, I really want to do something and see who the world is in this world!"

“Taibao…”

“Taibao…”

The front was exhaled by Fan Chunren, and the back was exhaled by Yelu Kuan.

Wang Ju is equivalent to openly yelling that the war is about to start. Fan Chunren wants to persuade Wang Ju not to be impulsive.

But Yelu Kuan's thoughts are even more complicated.

As the Liao Kingdom, I definitely don’t want the Song Dynasty to destroy the Western Xia.

However, now the Song Dynasty has agreed to the peace agreement of Xixia, and there is no need to make trouble for nothing.

Besides, Liaodong has dragged down the Liao Kingdom a little bit, and how many troops can the Liao Kingdom draw on to war with the Song Dynasty. Or can it count on Xixia, can it count on Xixia now?

And when he came, he had another important task, that is, miscellaneous grains.

Last year, the Song Dynasty sent some miscellaneous grain seeds. In order to restrain the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty planned to send some officials and farmers to Hebei of the Song Dynasty to learn and observe their cultivation methods with the local people. However, because the tone of the Liao Kingdom's national book last year was a bit domineering, the Song Dynasty was unhappy, and he gave some miscellaneous grain seeds, and there was no observation.

In fact, the real situation was Aligu's sudden betrayal, which disrupted Wang Ju's plan, but what he promised had to be fulfilled, so Wang Ju proposed a compromise. These grains were transported from far away overseas. Almost no one knew about them except Wang Ju, but Wang Ju, who was not a farmer in his previous life, was not very clear about their cultivation methods, so he could only remember one. At the same time, they also had an adaptation and evolution process. So when they started planting, they were first to explore accurate planting methods and seasons, and the other to cultivate their adaptation and evolution. Therefore, some were planted in the south and some were planted in the north.

In order to deal with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty transferred the seeds of the south and only mentioned the planting method. Therefore, after the two Liao envoys brought these grains back, they could not say that there was no harvest at all, but compared with the harvests of the Song Dynasty, the gap was too big.

In particular, the rebellion in Liaodong was not only the illegal greed of the various envoys to arouse the rebellion of various tribes. Another reason was that the closed environment caused the people in this area to have extremely backward farming methods. Backwardness means poverty, and poverty means barbarism.

If the miscellaneous grains can be promoted in most areas of the Liao Kingdom, it will indeed have a great help to the Liao Kingdom, including Liaodong. If there is a harvest, it will also further stabilize the Jurchens. Moreover, the Jurchens were not this rebellion, and there were countless small-scale rebellions, and not only this time, but the rebellion of Emperor Taizong of Song was also huge.

The Song Dynasty agreed to destroy Xixia unjustly, and the matter of Xixia was resolved. Then we had to discuss the miscellaneous grains. How many officials and people had to be sent to come and pay attention to it. Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom sent tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to pretend to be farmers and then ran around. The Song Dynasty's Hebei Road was lost, and of course the Song Dynasty could not agree.

Especially this miscellaneous grain, Chinese orthodox historical books only record the continuous southward movement of nomadic peoples, constantly causing harm to the people of the Central Plains again and again, but no other thing is the weakness of nomadic peoples. It seems that the nomadic people are extremely powerful and fierce, but in fact they are both hateful and pitiful, that is, their living habits and environment. If the weather is good, everything is safe, and if the weather is bad, especially in winter, a major cold wave is common in the north, then most of the livestock will be frozen to death, which means that the people will not have to eat in the next year and half of the people will starve to death! For food, or the internal tribes will start wars, or they will go south to invade!

Therefore, the Han and Tang dynasties placed these nomadic peoples in northern Shaanxi, Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi. Of course, this policy was definitely wrong, but it was also a helpless move. Putting these nomadic people here is the first, the impact of the cold wave will not be great, and it will not starve people to death, and invade the Central Plains. At the same time, they placed here here is equivalent to forming a Great Wall in disguise. There are nomadic people in the north, but the first line of defense that was hurt when going south was the Hu people. The most famous example is the era of Wu Zetian. The post-Turkish transition south, forcing Wu Zetian to go to Hebei with Di Renjie as the marshal. In fact, the most harmed Hu people placed in northern Hebei during that post-Turkish invasion!

Wang Ju also said this situation.

But what we are talking about is not about this resettlement policy, but about the importance of the Yanyun area to the Khitan.

But even with the Yanyun area, the food problem was still one of the Khitan crises. With this miscellaneous grain, the Khitan would not be confused about the food crisis.

Now the Song Dynasty has made a lot of concessions, so let’s stop when it’s better.

However, Yelu Kuan was not simple either. He was about to speak, but Fan Chunren spoke. Well, there was something inside the Song Dynasty. He closed his mouth in time and looked at Fan Chunren.

With that, Fan Chunren...

He suddenly thought of Wang Ju and Fu Bi.

The center is Fu Bi, which is a passage about Fu Bi when Wang Ju opened his speech.

Before Wang Ju went to Shaanxi, he talked about the Niu Li party dispute in the Tang Dynasty, and then talked about Fu Bi's mission to Liao Kingdom.

The Qingli War lasted for several years, which brought heavy burden to the people of Song and Xia. The people of Western Xia ate mice, Guanyin soil and tree bark. The situation in the Song Dynasty was also not very good, and a small drought broke out in a large-scale peasant uprising.

Zhang Hai, Guo Miaoshan, and Li Tieqin were in the back, and the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to blackmail the Song Dynasty. In this case, Fu Bi went on a mission to the Liao Kingdom. The first mission was set up in two major directions. Fu Bi forced Liao Xingzong to give up his requirements for the territory of the ten counties in Guannan and could give money. If Liao Kingdom could restrain Li Yuanhao to stop using troops, the Song Dynasty would increase by 200,000. If not, it would only increase by 100,000.

The latter article was very important, which led to the Liao Xingzong army attacking Xixia, and the Hequ defeat, which made the Western Xia even worse. Then there was "forty-two years of military rebellion", which was the longest period of peace in the Song Dynasty.

However, Fu Bi was unwilling to give up, so he asked Lu Yijian to force three requirements to the letter of state, which we gave to in the Song Dynasty, but the lakes and ponds on the border between the two countries must not be expanded, the two countries must not add troops to the border, and the two countries must not take in each other's fugitives.

These three additional requirements are also very important, because the Liao Kingdom repeatedly used the Song Dynasty to expand the Hutang on the border, but they were also doing it themselves. If we do not increase the strength of the Song Dynasty, you must not increase the strength and defense thickness on the border!

There is also no increase in the border, just like the Battle of Qingzhou, when the Liao Kingdom sent troops in a concealed manner. It was this point that it never really transferred its troops to the front line border. Of course, it also restricted the Song Dynasty. For example, Wang Ju proposed training of border soldiers, which was also training border soldiers on the second line, rather than the real front line, which effectively guaranteed peace between the two countries.

Lu Yijian and his ministers drafted the affidavit of the State, two affidavits, three affidavits, and related copies, a total of ten copies. Fu Bi went to Liao again because the time was too urgent, but he was a civil servant in the end and had limited speed, so he asked him to go first, and then handed over the national letter to Fu Bi by special handing over the document. However, when Wu Qiang arrived, Fu Bi was suspicious, so he took the risk to open it and found that the three requests he made were gone.

Fu Bi was furious. According to the system, he could not come back. However, his friend Cai Ting was filial in Changshou's hometown, so he asked Cai Ting to go to Beijing to question Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian replied that the letter of the country would not need to be changed, and these three requirements could be verified to the Liao people.

Fu Bi became even more angry and ignored the system and returned to the capital in a furious manner, firing at Lu Yijian, "the words invaded Yijian more and more." Lu Yijian made him unable to do anything, so he had to say that this mistake should be corrected. Fu Bi's father-in-law Yan Shu was also on the side with Xishen. Fu Bi said angrily that Yan Shu was a traitor, forming a gang with Lu Yijian for personal gain and deceiving Your Majesty.

This led to the gentlemen who later attacked Lu Yijian together.

But Wang Ju said it a little deeper. First of all, why Lu Yijian did this? Lu Yijian was definitely not a treacherous minister. It was Lu Yijian who proposed that Fu Bi go to Liao Kingdom. Other ministers do not have the courage and spirit, so they can't negotiate if they go! Not only Fu Bi, but also Han Qi, Pang Ji and Fan Zhongyan's heavy use were all promoted by Lu Yijian one after another!

So why did Lu Yijian do this? He was so angry that the gentlemen were angry at that time. However, the situation behind it was that the crisis of the Song Dynasty was getting worse and worse. If the Liao Kingdom really sent troops to the Song Dynasty at that time, the Song Dynasty might have been in danger of destruction under the attack of Liao and Xia countries. Therefore, Lu Yijian was worried that these three requirements were too tough and was afraid that the Liao Kingdom would not agree, so he did not write it in the letter of the country!

Of course, Fu Bi was sent to Liao Kingdom twice, and he performed politely and well, and did a good job, and was able to be famous in history.

But what if?

There is another example, that is, General Kou Song Zhenzong pushed to the front line of Chanzhou and succeeded, so Kou Zhun became a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and even later generations could not see many of Kou Zhun's shortcomings, such as he looked down on the southerners (which left hidden dangers for the later struggle between the north and the south), nepotism, etc.

But later, for example, the eunuch Wang Zhen bewitched Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to Tumu Fort... or during the Tokyo Defense War, Li Gang secretly transferred the two emperors Hui and Qin to Luoyang in advance, preventing the Jin people from successfully "beheading"...

As a prime minister of a country, this concern is understandable.

However, not many people understood Lu Yijian's painstaking efforts, and then the incident of the Lu incident, the gentleman came to power, and the incident of the Xia incident, especially Shi Jie, who wrote in "The Poem of the Holy Destiny of Qingli", Yu Wei, in March of the third year of Qingli, the emperor was Long Xing, and Xu came out of the Wei Hall... In fact, the truth about the new policy of Qingli was completely a farce.

Then it was written that Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were one Kui and one marriage, which was comparable to the famous wise ministers in ancient times. "The great traitor was like a farewell to Situo." How miserable was Xia Shu at that time? Isn't it enough? Isn't it enough? At least without me Xia Shu, you Han Qi is dead!

And... "On the Fraternity".

In fact, since then, the Song Dynasty has begun to accumulate huge hostility.

Finally, Wang Ju asked another question. The Liao Dynasty's military service border was definitely not just blackmailed. However, Fu Bi performed well, and finally gave Liao Kingdom 200,000 retreat. But behind it, the Liao Kingdom also had different opinions. Some wanted to send troops, while others did not want to send troops. Coupled with Fu Bi's performance and 200,000 benefits, the "pro-Song faction" gained the upper hand. This is the whole truth about Fu Bi's second appearance in Liao Kingdom.

However, the problem is the conflict of two opinions within Liao. Did the Song Dynasty notice it...

At least I have different opinions. As a prime minister of a country, I cannot express it in front of the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.
