Black Khan Wang Yusufu looked a little unhappy after hearing Xiao Pidi's analysis.
After he led his troops and horses into Hexi of the Song Dynasty, he did not massacre any civilians because he had no chance.
After he led his troops to enter the country, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty decisively implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country. Not a single wool was left in the huge Guazhou and Shazhou, and even the common people were removed.
But when he fought against the Song Dynasty, he killed many soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
According to Xiao Pidi, he has formed a deadly feud with the Song State. Once the Song State frees its hands, it will definitely destroy the Black Khan Dynasty.
However, most of the food and grass in the hands of the Black Khan King Yusufu had been burned. Without enough food and grass to support him, he had no intention of continuing to fight.
Therefore, even if Xiao Pidi's words affected him, he still did not change his mind to retreat.
"If one of them is injured, he must be punished? The Song people are really arrogant. It's just that they don't enter the territory of our Black Khan Dynasty. If they enter the territory of my Black Khan Dynasty, I will say that there will be no return."
Black Khan Wang Yusufu had a gloomy face and snorted coldly.
Xiao Pidi frowned and said in a deep voice: "King Khan! The strength of the Song Dynasty's military front is obvious to all. King Khan really thinks that the troops and horses of your Black Khan Dynasty can stop the Song State's military front from entering?"
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu said with a cold face, "I have millions of soldiers under my command. How can I be unable to do anything to a small Song country?"
"Little Song Dynasty?"
Xiao Pidi stared at the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and said loudly: "The Khan King has millions of soldiers, and the Song Dynasty is the same. There are more than two million people under the Khan King's tents, and the Song Dynasty has more than 40 million households.
The number of men in the Khan King's tent is barely 27.8 million.
The number of men that Emperor Song sat down on was 48 million.
King Khan summoned millions of soldiers, and almost half of the men of the Black Khan Dynasty were spared.
But when the Emperor of Song Dynasty summoned millions of soldiers, he only needed to recruit men from the place where he sat down.
The Khan's millions of soldiers are gone, and the Black Khan's dynasty will be severely injured.
But the Song Emperor's millions of soldiers were gone, and the Song Emperor could issue an order to deploy another million soldiers.
With such a huge disparity in national power, how dare the Khan King be inferior to the Song Dynasty?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Pidi pointed far away in the direction of the Liao Kingdom, "My emperor has 13 million people and 16 million men under his tent. I, the emperor, are very cautious when dealing with the Song Dynasty.
How dare King Khan dare to be inferior to the Song Dynasty?"
Xiao Pidi clenched his fists subconsciously, "If our emperor is defeated, it is very likely that the people of 13 million tents and 10 million tents will be ruled by the Song Dynasty. According to the habits of the people in power in the Song Dynasty, by then they will invade
Among the soldiers and horses of your Black Khan Dynasty, it is very likely that we, the Liao people, are among them, and we, the Liao people, are very likely to be the vanguard.
King Khan knows the strength of my 200,000 soldiers and horses.
If they number more than a million and invade the Black Khan Dynasty, can the Khan be the king?"
When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard this, his face was so gloomy that he could bleed.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu had spent a lot of time with Xiao Pidi and his soldiers and horses, so he knew the strength of Xiao Pidi's soldiers and horses.
To put it bluntly, the number of soldiers and horses under Xiao Pidi does not need to exceed one million. As long as there are half a million, he can defeat the millions of black soldiers under his command.
If the number of soldiers and horses under Xiao Pidi's command really exceeded one million, he could easily sweep through the Black Khan Dynasty.
Xiao Pidi gritted his teeth and said: "This battle is about the fate of the country. It is not only about the fate of our Liao people, but also the fate of your Black Khan people. So we cannot retreat, let alone lose."
If we retreat or lose, our country will be ruined and our family will be destroyed, and our descendants will be enslaved.
And your and my heads will also be chopped off and sent to Emperor Song to be kicked by Emperor Song."
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu had a gloomy face, raised his head and stared at Xiao Pidi, and said in a stiff voice: "You are the ones who dragged me into this war. If you didn't drag me into this war, I would have
Khan may be able to live in peace with Emperor Song."
"Is everything safe?"
Xiao Pidi asked: "King Khan thinks that in this Western Region, the Song Emperor will be satisfied if he takes over a small Hexi? The Song Emperor has the ambition to imitate the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties. How can he let the Han and Tang Dynasties control it?"
Those territories fell into the hands of others?
Has King Khan forgotten the half of the Tang stele he saw in the Uighur territory of Xizhou?"
Black Khan Wang Yusufu gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and did not say another word.
When Xiao Pidi saw this, he knew that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu had been persuaded by him, but he still had concerns, so he did not agree to stay.
Xiao Pidi said bluntly: "The foreign ministers know that King Khan had to retreat because of lack of food and grass."
Xiao Pidi gave the Black Khan Wang Yusufu a step, and the Black Khan Wang Yusufu followed the trend and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses have been consumed too much. I can continue to recruit from the country, but without food and grass, I can't fight with the Song people."
Spend it.
The large quantities of gold, silver, grain and grass seized by this Khan from the Uighurs in Xizhou have all been transported back to the country, and now I am afraid that they have all been allocated.
If I wanted to get the gold, silver and grain back, I would have to go back to the country in person and ask for it from the nobles.
Except for this Khan, no one else can take a grain of grain from those nobles."
Xiao Bidi solemnly said: "The foreign minister also guessed the concerns of King Khan, so the foreign minister decided to temporarily lend 60% of the grain, grass, cattle and sheep that our Liao soldiers captured in the Xizhou Uighurs to King Khan.
Then King Khan entered the Song Dynasty and robbed enough grain, grass, gold and silver, which he could return to the foreign ministers.
It would be nice for foreign ministers to have an explanation with my emperor."
Xiao Pidi only said to borrow, not to give, just to eliminate the worries of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.
If he generously said that he would give 60% of the grain captured in the Uighur territory of Xizhou to the Black Khan King Yusufu, then the Black Khan King Yusufu would definitely doubt his intentions.
The Black Khan King Yusufu felt a little hesitant when he heard that Xiao Pidi said he was willing to lend him food.
Seeing this, Xiao Pidi continued: "We, the Liao State, and Hei Khan are allies, and attacking the Song State is our common goal. Without the Hei Khan, it is impossible for our Liao State to invade the Song State. Without our Liao State,
King Khan could not invade the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, when it is time to support King Khan, we, the Liao Kingdom, will naturally not be stingy."
When the Black Khan King Yusufu heard this, his face looked much better.
Before Xiao Pidi said with eloquence that the Liao emperor had more than 10 million people under his command, which was infinitely more powerful than the Black Khan dynasty.
Now it is said that the Liao Kingdom cannot survive without Heihan.
He secretly gave the Black Khan Wang Yusufu a thumbs up, and the Black Khan Wang Yusufu felt very comfortable in his heart.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu glanced at Xiao Pidi and said: "Then you will temporarily lend the grain you captured in the Xizhou Uighur territory to this Khan. When I invade the Song Dynasty, I will definitely return it double."
When Xiao Pidi heard this, he hurriedly asked: "King Khan has decided to stay?"
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu asked: "Otherwise? Are you waiting for the Song Dynasty to become powerful and then attack me, the Black Khan?"
Xiao Pidi said decisively: "King Khan is wise."
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu waved his hands disdainfully and said: "Don't tell this nonsense to me here. I will send people back to the country later and recruit another group of troops.
When the time comes, Ben Khan will fight to the death with the Song people at Yumen Pass.
You can't slack off at Yangguan either.
Ben Khan attracted a lot of troops from the Song Dynasty at Yumen Pass, but the number of Song soldiers at Yang Pass was probably not large.
You have to break Yangguan as soon as possible."
Xiao Pidi solemnly said: "The foreign ministers will turn around and mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Xizhou Uighurs to join forces and break the Yang Pass for the Khan."
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu nodded slowly and said: "Half a month! If you can't break Yang Pass in half a month, you come here to attract the attention of the heavy soldiers of the Song Dynasty. I will lead people to break Yang Pass."
Xiao Pidi's expression froze slightly and said: "The foreign minister will try to break the Yangguan for King Khan within half a month."
Black Khan Wang Yusufu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't be so presumptuous in front of this Khan in the future."
Xiao Pidi said with a smile: "Foreign ministers have offended for a moment, please forgive me King Khan."
The two chatted some more, and the Black Khan Wang Yusufu invited Xiao Pidi to have a casual meal together.
Xiao Pidi rested for the night in Heihan's barracks, and then hurried back to Yangguan.
Two days later.
The people sent by Xiao Pidi to escort the Xizhou Uighur people back to Yangguan brought more than 100,000 Xizhou Uighur people with them.
In addition, he also brought a lot of food, grass, cattle and sheep.
Xiao Pidi kept a part for himself and sent most of the rest to the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.
After the Black Khan King Yusufu obtained the grain, cattle and sheep, he finally gave up the idea of retreat and sent people back to the territory of the Black Khanate to recruit another group of troops.
The Black Khan King Yusufu decided to use millions of troops to break through the Yumen Pass.
For a period of time thereafter, the three parties lived in peace and without war.
Xiao fought against the Liao soldiers stationed in the Xizhou Uighur territory, and at the same time mobilized all the captured troops in the Xizhou Uighur territory.
The number of soldiers and horses led by the Black Khan Wang Yusufu and Xiao Pidi continued to increase, and food was continuously transported into the military camp.
Judging from their performances, they were obviously preparing for a big fight with Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing.
On top of Yangguan City.
Kou Ji and Li Di stood side by side.
Looking at the Liao soldiers, cattle, sheep and horses entering the Liao camp one after another outside the city.
Li Di couldn't help but sigh: "They are ready to fight us."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "Your courage is commendable."
Li Di nodded in agreement.
Kou Ji turned around and looked behind Yangguan at the grain and grass transportation team that was nearly ten times larger than the Liao soldiers outside the city, as well as the local soldiers who came to help, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
The Song Dynasty now has a rich family fortune.
Whether the opponent was competing with the Song Dynasty for military strength or food and grass, they were no match at all.
The number of imperial guards in the entire Song Dynasty was not large.
But the number of local soldiers exceeded everyone's imagination.
With the thorough implementation of the Song Dynasty's road reform policy, the distribution of local soldiers was further sorted out.
Nowadays, when the local government soldiers, state soldiers, and county soldiers are added together, the strength of one government can reach more than 30,000.
The number of troops in some of the military-controlled areas exceeds 30,000.
After Da Song Road was restructured into prefectures, how many prefectures were there?
Eighteen prefectures and two large military control areas.
The total number of local soldiers in the eighteen prefectures reached more than 500,000.
In addition to the two large forbidden troops stationed in the two large military control areas, there are also countless local soldiers.
In order to effectively rule the military-controlled areas, almost all Song people in the military-controlled areas were half civilians and half soldiers.
These are the existing military strength of the Song Dynasty.
If the war ahead is tense and Zhao Zhen gives an order to recruit troops from all over the country, one million strong men can be recruited at any time to rush to the battlefield.
There may even be more.
In today's Song Dynasty, being a soldier is no longer something that is looked down upon.
In today's Song Dynasty, being a soldier is a way to make a fortune.
The Battle of Koji and Hexi gave birth to tens of thousands of nouveau riche and hundreds of thousands of big landowners.
The war between Kou Ji and Xixia gave birth to tens of thousands of nouveau riche and hundreds of thousands of big landowners.
The War of Dali and the War of Liao, although not presided over by Kou Ji, also gave birth to many upstarts and big landowners.
The court's generosity in distributing the spoils of war is obvious to all.
If you give it a try, the poor peasants will become rich peasants.
One more try and the rich peasants will become landlords.
The children of poor families are now keen to join the army and fight on the battlefield.
Under such circumstances, the Black Khan Wang Yusufu and Xiao competed with Kou Ji for their military superiority, which was simply overestimating their capabilities.
As for financial resources, the Black Khan Wang Yusufu could not compete with Xiao, let alone Kou Ji.
When the Song Dynasty was at its poorest, its financial resources could overwhelm all the surrounding countries.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is extremely rich, and its financial resources can bring almost all the surrounding countries to the ground.
As for food, there is not much to say.
Li Di stayed in Yangguan in order to stuff Hexi's stored grain, cattle, sheep, dried fruits and other items into the army for digestion. It can be seen that Hexi's stored grain has exceeded the amount that Hexi people and Hexi merchants can digest.
.
If the granaries in various places in Hexi were opened to feed the soldiers and horses in Hexi, it would probably be enough to feed them for more than half a year.
This does not include grain reserves in other places.
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai, three old men, not only filled up the national treasury, but also filled Changpingcang in various places in order to get Yan Yun back.
Nowadays, the three disciples of the old man hang out in front of Chang Ping Granary all over the country every day, just to prevent local officials from emptying Chang Ping Granary, causing the court to be without food when it needs it for war.
It was precisely because of the sufficient hard power of the imperial court that the imperial court dared to go to war with the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom.
Officially, Kou Ji dared to fish at this time because his hard power was enough to crush the neighboring countries.
Xiao Pidi and the Black Khan King Yusufu mobilized troops and generals, and the levy of grain and grass lasted for ten days.
Ten days later.
Xiao Pidi and the Black Khan King Yusufu launched an attack on Yangguan and Yumenguan.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu led his Black Khan soldiers and fought hard against Zhong Shiheng.
Xiao Pidi then dispatched Xizhou Uighur soldiers and horses to fight a war of attrition with Di Qing.
Once the war started, it never stopped.
Even if you rest, it will not last more than five hours.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu frantically attacked Yumen Pass, and Xiao Pidi also sent Xizhou Uighur soldiers and horses to frantically consume the Black Khan people in Di Qing's hands.
The battle lasted for five days.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu failed to conquer Yumen Pass, and Xiao Pidi also failed to conquer Yang Pass.
The two sides chose to exchange positions.
After the Black Khan King Yusufu led the Black Khan soldiers to appear in Yangguan, Yangguan did feel some pressure.
Kou Ji immediately dispatched the Heihan people in Yangguan to Yumen Pass, and then dispatched the local soldiers in Yumen Pass to Yangguan, and continued to fight a war of attrition with the opponent.
The war between Yangguan and Yumenguan is in full swing.
But the city of Bianjing was filled with singing and dancing.
Everyone in Bianjing knew that a war was taking place in Hexi, but no one was worried about it.
Because everyone in Bianjing City knows that the Kouji people are in Hexi.
In the impression of everyone in Bianjing City, Kou Ji has never lost a battle from the day he joined the military to now.
Every battle he presided over was fruitful.
People in Bianjing City felt that this time Kou Ji fought in Hexi and would gain a lot after the war.
After the beginning of the new year.
Businessmen in Bianjing City suddenly united together and proposed to the court through various channels that the slave laws of the Qin and Han Dynasties should be reinstated.
Its purpose is to share the dividends of the war.
After the imperial court implemented the long-term contract, the wealthy private households immediately changed the short-term contract with their tenants.
The imperial court took advantage of the situation and moved one million extremely poor people to Dali, and allocated a lot of land to those extremely poor people.
The extremely poor people suddenly became small landowners.
Some tenants in the hands of wealthy families have uneasy feelings.
The wealthy family suddenly panicked.
After learning that the Black Khan King of the Black Khan Dynasty had sent millions of slaves to Kou Ji, the wealthy family immediately had the idea of dividing the millions of slaves in Kou Ji's hands.
So they spoke out one after another, hoping that the court could reinstate the slave law so that they could divide the slaves in Kou Ji's hands and use them as slaves.
The voice of restoring the slave law formed a wave and kept rolling in Bianjing city.
Some felt that humans should not be treated as animals, and some felt that barbarians were also human beings and should be educated and treated as the voices of the people of the Song Dynasty. However, they did not overshadow the voices of restoring the slave law.
At first, the voice of restoring the slave law was only spread among the people.
After a court official brought this matter to the court and talked about it once, it became a hot topic in the court.
A series of memorials requesting the restoration of the slave law were handed to Zhao Zhen's desk. Zhao Zhen looked a little dizzy.
It was the courtiers who said that humans should not be treated as animals, and it was the courtiers who said that the slave law should be reinstated.
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that it was a bit difficult for him to be the emperor.
Kou Ji was away again, and the three old men, Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng, were now very busy with the upcoming war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. He couldn't find anyone to discuss it with anyone.
He casually threw a memorandum calling for the restoration of the slave law on the dragon table. Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Chen Lin, I don't want to read these memorials anymore. You have someone take them down. You accompany me to the Mongolian School."
"
Chen Lin bowed and agreed, and ordered people to remove all the memorials from Zhao Zhen's desk.
Zhao Zhen let out a long breath, stood up and left the palace, walking towards where Meng Xue was.
The elementary school in the palace was set up next to Yanfu Palace. Because Yanfu Palace was the largest palace in the palace and there were many side halls and courtyards around it, which were enough for children to make noise, Zhao Zhen set up the elementary school in Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Zhen arrived at the courtyard where the Meng School was located, but did not go in. He listened at the door, and when he heard the sound of children playing, he knew that the children had finished class, so he stepped into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I looked up and my face suddenly turned dark.
In the yard, Kou Hui was beating someone, and the one being beaten was Cao Yi's son.
Zhao Run stood aside with tears and kept telling Kou Hui to stop fighting.
Kou Tianci stood aside with his arms folded, while Bao Qing tugged on his sleeves. Behind him stood several younger sons of Li Zhaoliang, great-grandsons of Zhu Neng, and sons of Yang Wenguang.
Shouqing sat in front of his desk, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes fell on the battlefield to the side.
Zhao Zhen only took one glance and understood everything that happened in Mengxue.
It must be the evil forces headed by a certain bandit who are bullying his son and his son's thugs.
Similar things have happened more than once or twice.
Zhao Zhen alone bumped into him three times.
"cough……"
Zhao Zhen coughed heavily.
Kou Tianci and others turned back and looked at the door.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zhen, Zhao Run seemed to have seen a savior and shouted loudly: "My father is here, please stop fighting!"
Kou Hui heard Zhao Run's shout, let go of Cao Yi's son, and looked up, it was really Zhao Zhen.
Immediately, she rolled off Cao Yi's son and was covered in mud. She curled her lips and cried.
She not only cried, she also shouted.
"Uncle Huang, Cao Ping beat me...wuwuwu..."
Cao Yi had two sons, the eldest son Cao Ping and the second son Cao You.
The person chosen to study with Zhao Run in the palace was Cao Ping, the eldest son of Cao Yi.
When Zhao Zhen heard that Kou Hui had complained first, he felt angry and funny in his heart, but his face remained calm.
The first two times he saw Kou Hui beating someone, Kou Hui did the same thing.
Cao Ping got up from the ground, looking aggrieved and wanted to complain, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Because he couldn't cry and shout like Kou Hui.
The last time he imitated Kou Hui and cried and shouted, he was scolded by Zhao Zhen.
He still remembers what Zhao Zhen scolded him for.
'After all, you are also a general, and you are two years older than Kou Hui. If you can't beat Kou Hui, you still have the nerve to complain.'
In fact, he really wanted to tell Zhao Zhen that he could defeat Kou Hui and that it would not be a problem to defeat both Kou Hui.
However, there was a certain gang leader named Kou who was watching with three young men, and he did not dare to make a move against Kou Hui.
A certain gangster surnamed Kou generally did not interfere in the disputes between him and Kou Hui unless he beat Kou Hui.
He is not afraid of the leader of the evil forces. What he is afraid of is the boy named Yang who is following behind the leader of the evil forces.
That boy's name is Yang Huaiyu. He is bigger than all of them, taller than all of them, and can fight better than all of them.
When he faced Yang Huaiyu, he could only be beaten.
"Father, it was Kou Hui who beat Cao Ping!"
Zhao Run saw that Cao Ping could not defend himself, so he defended Cao Ping.
Zhao Zhen stepped into the courtyard and snorted without saying anything.
Kou Tianci, Cao Ping, Yang Huaiyu and others all bowed to Zhao Zhen.
Chen Lin moved a stool and placed it behind Zhao Zhen. After Zhao Zhen sat down, he snorted and said, "Kou Hui..."
Zhao Zhen just called Kou Hui's name.
Kou Tianci immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Father... Is it okay that I'm Chen's father is in Hexi? Can you correspond with Erchen's father in the near future? If you have corresponded with Erchen's father, please convey it to Erchen.
My son, Chen, and others will be well-behaved at home, and even if they are bullied, they will swallow their anger and never cause him any trouble."
After Kou Tianci finished speaking, Zhao Zhen was stunned and couldn't say anything to reprimand Kou Hui.
