Many people think that only the place where the war takes place is the battlefield, but in fact, the battlefield is everywhere, as small as the bed in the bedroom at home is as big as one person covering half of the country with one hand.

Western Xia lost, and the Liao State not only recaptured the old capital Chang'an, but also pushed the army line all the way to the outside of Xingqing Mansion to form a siege with the Song State, shrouding the Western Xia in the shadow of the great powers.

But if someone really thinks that the Liao State is here to help, then it is a big mistake, this Liao State is just the jackal that smells fishy, and he comes to get a cup of soup, and Chen Bing Xingqing Mansion is just to put pressure on Song Guo.

It's just that everyone is not a good person, so they naturally understand each other's thoughts that the monk can touch and I can touch.

The most pitiful thing is the Western Xia, the accumulation of nearly a hundred years suddenly seemed to fall apart overnight, and they are not now trying to find a way to cut the land and pay compensation, but to choose one to be a father in the fastest time between the Song and Liao countries.

And this period of time is quite long for individuals, but for the national policy, it doesn't seem to be so anxious, after all, Song Guo proposed a compensation of one billion, and Liao Guo proposed a compensation of 1.2 billion, which is not something that can be prevaricated.

"It's hot here during the day, and it's a little cold when the wind blows at night, and I want to go to Mogao Grottoes in a few days, do you want to go with me?"

Zuo Rou changed into the national costume of a Xixia woman, and said to Song Beiyun: "If you don't go, then I'll go by myself." ”

"Go ahead, I may not be available." Xiao Song held Yan Shu's letter in his hand: "The Liao State is in trouble. ”

While the Song Liao was negotiating with the Western Xia, Yan Shu was also fighting in the Liao State, and the content of their negotiations was about dividing up the political forces along the Hexi Corridor.

But everyone is thinking about a better location, after all, the nomads here are still very fierce, and those nomads are supported by the Golden Horde, so no one wants to touch the mold.

Liao also wants to make money, and Liao is not a little sheep.

Song Beiyun has made it clear a long time ago that Fobaonu is the Liao Emperor but cannot represent the entire Liao State, and when she is the Liao Emperor, she will always strive for the interests of the Liao State.

Yan Shu's obstruction of negotiations is predictable and understandable, after all, they are both victorious countries, and there is no reason who will let whom, and if you really have to count it, the Liao State contained the main force of Western Xia, which allowed Song Beiyun's beheading plan to succeed.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for them to ask for more benefits, but their reasonableness will really hurt the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, so the negotiations between the two parties naturally fell into a stalemate.

"How much money do you think we'll make this time?" Zuo Rou put on a hat of animal skin and fiddled in front of the mirror: "It's good-looking, it's hot, if it's winter, it's fine, tell me why you don't call in winter." ”

Xiao Song glanced at her, the great northwest ...... in winter The soldiers can't stand it.

"A rough calculation? The cash compensation can probably be 10,000 yuan? The total follow-up resources will not be less than 30,000 yuan, and half of Chang'an City. And a free trade area adjacent to the Hexi Corridor? There are also three cities that are leased as transit points. Xiao Song said in a fifteen-ten manner: "What billions and eighteen billions are all jokes? As far as the productive forces of Western Xia are concerned, they can't die. ”

"Then why don't you just destroy Western Xia? If you don't destroy it, why don't you do it again? ”

Xiao Song put down the letter in his hand and said softly, "Strange...... Why did the Liao State bite Chang'an to the death. ”

"I'll ask you."

"Oh......" Xiao Song raised his head: "That's the case, Western Xia is here for chicken ribs?" Whether it's Song Liao, he doesn't want to eat Western Xia for the time being? First, it is a strategic buffer zone, which can prevent nomads and steppe cavalry from driving straight into the Gobi Desert in the first place. Second, the Western Xia is still a corridor connecting East Asia and Central Asia, and their ridge can be used as a hub here? Many times we don't know what the intentions of the aliens are. Whether it's plundering or trade, there must be someone in front of you to find out the news. ”

"Moreover, there are very few places suitable for cultivation in Western Xia, which is of little use to Song Liao, who is also a farming habit. It's better to stay and wait for the opportunity. ”

Zuo Rou nodded again and again: "So that's the case, no wonder?" There is just a little bit of a good place, and Song Liao is grabbing it. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Song nodded and said, "It's not just a good place?" You also have to make bad balls for each other and put obstacles in each other's way. For example, the Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate? If Da Song doesn't snatch away its interests, then the area ahead will be isolated into an enclave? In the end, it will either be digested by Western Xia or annexed by Liao? The same is true for Liao? Therefore, such a key location is something that everyone refuses to give up, even Western Xia, because this place is its throat, and it doesn't feel good to be choked by someone. ”

Zuo Rou thought for a long time and scratched her face slightly: "It's more troublesome than fighting......

"Hmm...... Diplomacy and politics are no simpler than fighting wars. Xiao Song glanced at the map: "The game between powerful countries can last for several generations or even more than ten generations, maybe there will be no large-scale conflict between the two countries in name, but economic wars, trade wars, proxy wars, and diplomatic wars will become more and more frequent." ”

"Then you put the Buddha Treasure Slave to sleep, and then it will be fine."

Xiao Song shook his head silently, there is really nothing to complain about Zuo Rou's simple thoughts, in the eyes of this simple-minded monkey, it is probably the one who wins the world. But in fact, no matter whether Xiao Song sleeps or not, the world will not change because of this, unless Buddha Baonu suddenly falls seriously ill and burns out her brain, she will always have to stand in the position of Liao.

Maybe she will be coquettish to herself in the hypermarket and say, "Good brother buys this for others", but at the venue, she will still point her nose and say to herself, "Da Liao and I are not allowed". Therefore, if you want to do this kind of thing by working hard in bed, it is absolutely impossible.

"I may have to make an envoy to Liao." Xiao Song's eyes moved: "Yan Shu is a literati, he is a little weaker in aura." Let him come here, there are soldiers here to boost his morale, and I will go to the Liao State. ”

Zuo Rou sighed: "Do you want to send an envoy to Liao again?" Didn't you say that you wouldn't go to Liao if you died? ”

"Haha......" Xiao Song stepped forward and patted Zuo Rou's head: "I'm not me, I'm Song." ”

Zuo Rou went around here for a long time before she understood what Song Beiyun meant, but when she thought of going to Liao again, she was still a little unhappy, the key problem was that although she said that Song Beiyun slept with Buddha Baonu, she actually hated Buddha Baonu the most in her heart, and that high-minded face was uncomfortable, and she had a headache when she looked at it.

"And when are you going to go?"

"In a few days, I will first formulate a course of action and determine a common goal with Yan Shu."

In fact, Xiao Song sometimes thinks that now that he is one of the few celebrities in the world, why can't he take the route of "buying a piece of cloth in the imperial city, the son of a certain official's family has a conflict, and then waits until the other party comes violently and then shows his identity".

Later, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was probably arrogant, under the root of the imperial city, when would he have to do things by himself? I always told my subordinates to bring me a few pieces of cloth at night, and then there would be the best cloth in the world in front of me at night.

There is also conflict...... As for the flying fish suit of the Imperial City Division, who in the world doesn't know it? Those gentlemen always have to avoid three points, where there will be any conflict. Even if there is a conflict, it will not be his turn to come out, Bai Nianan is not a dead person, and people can listen to the sky directly.

So this kind of low-level operation that can refresh oneself may not be able to survive in this life, and the future will always face the leaders and missions of other countries, with the rise of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Beiyun's name will be like Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty, but Li Hongzhang was forced to sign a treaty and Song Beiyun was forced to sign a treaty.

But the life of hard work will always be the life of hard work, which is fortunately young, otherwise the dog weather will go back and forth, and those over forty-five years old may be dead.

"And what are your plans for the future?"

Zuo Rou was dressed in alien clothes, sitting at the table with her hands on her face, and looking at Song Beiyun with sparkling eyes.

She has been like this since she was a child, although she can't understand a lot, but she just likes to listen to Song Beiyun when he talks about these things, and she feels that he is so powerful and talented.

"Take the Central Plains, open routes, run education, and fight local tyrants."

"Fighting local tyrants?"

"Hmm." Xiao Song leaned back in his chair and said slowly: "Logically speaking, it is not a bad thing to hide wealth from the people, but the problem now is that the Great Song Dynasty does not hide wealth from the people but from large households, and ordinary people do not have much accumulation, which becomes a bad thing." But this is not in a hurry, now Da Song does not have that ability. ”

"Oh......" Zuo Rou took a deep breath: "Anyway, I don't understand." ”

"And you still ask?"

"I love watching you talk."

So why Xiao Song can have such a high endurance for this stupid guy, the reason is this, she is like a super big baby, she doesn't need to make a lot of effort to coax at all, and she won't be like with Buddha Baonu, calculating each other's next moves, just like playing chess, tired and panicked. Zuo Rou belongs to the type that will say what she wants, take it away and tell her why, and she will no longer talk nonsense, this is the treasure of the world, although sometimes she is really stupid like a donkey.

"By the way, then since you are leaving, I won't go to Mogao Grottoes, and I said that I would go and see the Crescent Spring......" Zuo Rou took off the hat on his head: "If you don't go, you won't go." ”

Xiao Song leaned on that for a long time, frowned and said, "Why don't you go back directly, this trip may not be able to go back until the end of the year." It was really hard to reach an agreement between the three parties. ”

"That's not possible, I promised Jin Ling'er to keep an eye on you." Zuo Rou unconsciously sold Jin Ling'er: "She said, if you don't have anyone by your side, if you can't keep it, you will hook up with the dog emperor of the Liao State, if you can't do it, I won't let it." ”

"Okay...... Xiao Song sighed: "If you want to say that you are smart, Jin Ling'er is smart." ”

"She's sassy."
