The strong north wind brought gravel and knocked on the shield, making a crackling sound. Li Qing strolled on the battlefield, with the shield on his back and the thick armor, making him look like a mobile person.
's fortress.
The iron-clad boots stepped on the soft sand, one step at a time, but soon, these footprints were filled up by the sand brought by the wind.
Looking around, there were broken corpses and ownerless horses everywhere as far as the eye could see. Several flags were casually dumped on the ground, rattling in the wind, but there was no sign of the flag bearer.
This is a slaughterhouse!
Crossbows as tall as a person can be seen everywhere, and stones the size of castanopsis are densely embedded in the soft sand, and more of them are embedded in the dead human bodies.
"The combat power of equipment will eventually replace personal bravery!"
Li Qing, who had inspected the battlefield, whispered to himself.
After saying this, Li Qing found a place with clean sand without blood and made it. He found that he now prefers to drink and stay with corpses, rather than drinking and having fun with living people, even if he wins a battle.
It was the same after that.
This is an indescribable feeling. There are always corpses in the nightmares of the past. The images of the brothers who died in the battle after the Qinzhou War will always appear in his dreams. Over time,
, he got used to it, and he even learned to drink and sing with those tattered corpses in his dreams, so that now only seeing the corpses can make his heart truly calm.
He pulled a broken flag at hand to wipe his hands. This was the flag of the Heqing Army. Now this army has been completely wiped out. The more than 4,000 Liao troops who were captured just now were all buried alive by the Prime Minister in Jinxiu Mountain.
He took out the dry food bag from a corpse. It contained dried meat. This is air-dried meat, a very good military food. Li Qing slowly ate a piece. It was very hard, but tasted very good. It was salty.
The taste is very strong, but this is military rations, so salting and drying is a must.
If you eat too much, you will become thirsty. The water in the Liao army's water bag has turned into ice. Li Qing used a knife to split the skin bag, smashed the large pieces of ice, found a crystal clear piece and put it into his mouth slowly.
sucking.
Lying on his back on the sand, two lonely flying eagles were still circling in the sky, occasionally flying low and screaming loudly towards the corpses.
This is the Haidongqing domesticated by the Liao army. The most important reason why the Heqing army was able to annihilate the Heqing army in this battle is that the Prime Minister deceived these two Haidongqing. Their simple brains were unable to distinguish between crowds and sheep.
, they still can't tell the difference between people wearing sheep's clothing and real sheep. In their view, anyone wearing sheep's clothing is a sheep.
"War is just a liar's game!"
This is the second very philosophical sentence Li Qing said today. The previous sentence only confirmed the necessity and feasibility of forming the Poxi Army. The destruction of the He Qing Army also proved that equipment can be doubled.
The fighting strength of an army.
The cavalry may have a chance of survival when they charge under the dense rain of arrows, but when they charge against the dense rain of rocks, the end will be very miserable.
Li Qing even thought about what would happen if all the stones were replaced with Song Army's gunpowder bombs.
He quickly deduced the result, that is, there would be no such situation at all. The price of gunpowder bombs is too expensive. No one can throw gunpowder bombs all over the world like stones, not even Yun Zheng.
That prodigal son can't do it either.
Sand entering the eyes will be very uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter after death. Looking at the eyes of a corpse in front of him, Li Qing saw the dust on the eyes, so he raised his hand to close the eyes of the corpse.
, don’t want to see those gray eyes.
A large group of Xixia troops entered the battlefield, and the soldiers began to methodically strip off the armor from the corpses, peel off their relatively clean clothes, and take away all the things that could still be used. These were very important to the Xixia people.
A black war horse stopped beside Li Qing. The knight on the horse looked down at Li Qing, the majesty in his eyes seemed to have solidified.
Li Qing sat up awkwardly. Looking up from below, the Prime Minister looked like a majestic emperor. Although he was still the Prime Minister, everyone knew that as soon as the child in Xingqing Mansion who had been frail and sick since childhood died, he would immediately
He is the king of the entire Xixia.
A piece of sable fur was thrown down from the horse and covered on Li Qing's head. Without hiding, Pang said quietly: "Wear more clothes, don't get sick."
Then there were bursts of horse hooves, and they were far away.
Li Qing took off the sable fur from his head and put it on his body carelessly. He looked at Wu Zangying's face with some worry as he walked away. There is a legend in the Xixia army that as long as the country is good to whoever is good, they will be close to death.
.
This sentence has its origin. The Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager Wu Zang have been dependent on each other since they were young. Wu Zang was even raised by the Prime Minister. No one doubts the deep love between brother and sister. But when the Prime Minister strangled the Queen Mother, he heard that he
His hands are very steady.
Li Qing always thought that he should be at the foot of Xijing City at this time, or after crossing the frozen Yellow River, to attack the land of Liao Kingdom, just like what Yun Zheng is doing now, instead of running to Mobei
Go and rob some of Mama’s treasures!
Yun Zheng must have burst into laughter at this time, that's what Li Qing thought.
The problem is that Li Qing thinks it's useless, and other knowledgeable people in Daxia think it's useless. The Prime Minister went to Yeluxin's territory to grab the treasure, so everyone had to travel thousands of miles to find some bullshit treasure.
.
Li Qing was not happy at all after annihilating the He Qing army. The more Liao troops he killed now, the easier it would be for Yunzheng. What kind of treasures were he looking for, but Yunzheng was expanding his territory and had already obtained the real treasure?
treasure.
The Prime Minister was stunned!
This is the only reason that Li Qing can clearly explain what the Prime Minister is doing now. Without Mo Zheng, the Prime Minister should not have led the army to Mobei at this time, but should have searched for the Xixia in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.
man's glory and interests.
When two big countries are at war, it should be easy for the third big country to find its own interests. However, the Prime Minister seems to have given up on everything. He just wants the weakest interest, which is Mama's treasure, even if the treasure is full of gold.
, so what?
The despicable Song people have just passed a decree. They no longer allow gold and silver to circulate in the market. Small transactions use copper coins, and large transactions use jiaozi. Their Da Song Bank is hoarding gold and silver.
They issued as many Jiaozi as they had gold and silver. God knows if they really did this. In Li Qing's opinion, the possibility that the greedy Song people secretly printed a few more Jiaozi was very high.
From now on, those despicable Song people only need to use those beautiful pieces of paper to buy cattle and sheep, furs, green salt, medicinal materials and other good things from Xixia.
Li Qing was very worried that once the Song people spread Jiaozi all over the world, the people of Daxia would hold a bunch of pieces of paper and wonder if they could get back the good things they desperately needed, even if it was
It can still be used, they just need to slightly manipulate the exchange ratio, and the people of Daxia will probably lose everything in business.
One ingot of Xiang Wulang weighed ten taels of gold and could buy twenty slaves, thirty war horses, and two warehouses of grain in Daxia.
However, in the Song Dynasty, one had to exchange ten taels of gold for eighty taels of silver, and then one tael of gold or eight taels of silver could be exchanged for 1,500 copper coins.
Then use 1,500 copper coins to exchange for what you need.
Now no one can understand why copper coins are so valuable. Ten taels of gold are exchanged for fifteen thousand copper coins, which is fifteen copper coins.
Three years ago, one tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver for ten copper coins. The price of goods in Daxia and Song Dynasty seemed to be that gold was equally valuable. But now, it is different...
They won't even give you 15,000 copper coins, because the laws of the Song Dynasty stipulate that transactions of more than one year must use Jiaozi, so gold turned into a piece of paper with numbers written on it.
Li Qing didn't believe that the prime minister, who was busy with everything, couldn't see these changes, couldn't see the sinister intentions of the Song people, couldn't see that although the Song people were attacking Liao, what they really wanted to destroy was Daxia?
He took off the sable skin and threw it away, but when he found that the black mink had returned, he quickly picked up the sable skin, dusted it off, and put it on again. At this time, no one wanted to go to the black mink.
Even if you offend, you don’t dare to offend.
"Li Qing, the road to the north has been opened. I have ordered Zhang Jiang to go as the vanguard. Your army is heavily loaded with equipment. Can you reach Dagahaizi within the agreed time?"
Wu Zangyu Pang jumped off his horse, helped Li Qing tidy up the sable fur and asked.
Li Qing shook his head and said: "It's too far. It's more than 2,300 miles. A carriage pulling baggage can't go that far. What's more, the road is all desert, and it's hard to find materials to repair the carriage."
Wu Zang's face was full of anxiety, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I know that you have other opinions about Bei Zhengda Gahaizi, and I also know that you all think that I am crazy.
But I tell you that the trip to Dagahaizi was the result of my careful consideration. Li Qing, I only ask you to obey military orders, okay?"
Li Qing opened his mouth to warn him again about not hiding his fault, but when he thought of the terrible fate of those who warned him not to hide his fault, he finally swallowed his words, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "The general will obey the rule of law."
The Prime Minister ordered me to die without regrets even if I die a hundred times."
Wu Zangyu Pang nodded happily and said: "When you follow me to Dagahaizi and climb Qiuba Mountain, you will know how wise my decision is!"
A thought flashed through Li Qing's mind and he asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister, is there more than just gold on Qiuba Mountain?"
Wu Zangxiao Pang smiled slyly, then patted Li Qing on the shoulder, mounted his horse and left. After walking far away, he shouted to Li Qing loudly: "Li Qing, come on! Let's go to Qiuba Mountain. There will be no such thing."
