Chapter 403: The Empire in the Twilight
The main general heads-up was most popular in the Warring States, and this situation occasionally occurred in the Han Dynasty, and by the time of the Great Song Dynasty, such behavior would be called stupid, but Liu Liufu also made this request, purely to hit Lu Zifei's self-confidence.
Yang Huaiyu used a gun, the person opposite used a knife, the two people on the horse looked at each other, feeling that they wanted to kill each other with their eyes, the distance of less than a hundred meters was enough for the charge of the war horse, although it was said earlier that it was just a fight, but at this moment, who can guarantee that they will not miss.
Lu Zifei only heard the Liao people shouting, and then there was no more, the lord of the Liao country fell off the horse, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but Gao Huailiang next to him couldn't help but shout hello.
"That's the end of it, I haven't seen them fight yet? What's the situation, Huailiang. Lu Zifei asked very ignorantly.
"I told you that you don't understand, that Liao people still have a chance to fight with me, and to fight with Huaiyu is to find abuse, simply put, he doesn't know martial arts, it's the kind that goes straight to the point, Huaiyu strikes later, this is on a horse, not on land, how long do you think you can fight."
Lu Zifei said: "I thought that the two sides would fight back and forth for dozens of rounds? But it's good to win, and the people of Liao are too careless! ”
Liu Liufu was talking to the Liao people, Lu Zifei felt that it was definitely not a good thing, and he knew from the Liao people's unconvinced expressions that although there was no loot in the next city, at least it greatly improved the morale of the soldiers.
The joy between Liang Shi's eyebrows also proved that he was in a good mood, and said to Liu Liufu: "Lord Liu, will you continue the next game?" ”
"Of course you have to continue, the warriors of the Liao Kingdom can't afford to lose, the first game is counted as your victory." Liu Liufu said as if he had won, and he didn't lose if he lost!
Lu Zifei puffed his throat and said: "Master Liu, how can this be called our victory, this is a fair and honest victory, okay, hurry up and move on to the next one!" I'm going to take a shower when I'm done? It's tiring after a day of shopping. ”
When it came to the morale-boosting link, Lu Zifei stepped forward and only said, "If you lose, you will come back to the collective small black house for three days"
Lu Zifei knew his power very well, but he didn't want to use it on soldiers, because he felt that it was a kind of mental torture for people who had never read a book, but some people didn't believe it! After the attempts of the unbelieving soldiers, the little black house became a taboo-like existence.
Wang Yuen's heart trembled, and he said to the soldiers under his hand: "You have also heard what the adults said, I won't repeat it much, this time only with a stick, if anyone is afraid of pain and losing face, the adults will not let me feel better, I will not let you have a good time." ”
The Liao people started with cavalry, which is also a typical way of fighting ethnic minorities, leaving the war horse, they stand there very casually and laugh at the neat queue of Song soldiers, they feel that the soldiers only need to be brave, and no matter how neatly arranged they are, they are also the same.
This group of forbidden troops has not been on the battlefield yet, and it is fake that they are not nervous in their hearts, but when they think of the words of the general and the battalion commander, they can only hold on, maintain a good formation according to the usual training, and think about what the general said to them during the training.
The momentum of five hundred people rushing over was still quite strong, when they rushed to the Song army, only to find that they could not rush in, at this time the Song army of three began to attack the chaotic Liao army as a small group, and the importance of discipline and coordination was vividly displayed at this time.
The people who watched were all smart people, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they knew what the ending would be if they continued, Liang Shi's face was cracked like an old bark, and Liu Liufu was not so good, and he resisted the urge to be angry and did not walk away.
Liang Shi said with a smile: "Lord Liu, let these juniors watch here, let's go have a cup of tea?" ”
If there are steps that can't go down, aren't they two fools? Liu Liufu hummed and left with Liang Shi.
Wang Yuen is also a ruthless character, seeing that they have a big advantage here, he took the soldiers to beat the Liao people with his life, although the stick can't kill people, but it still hurts to knock on the body!
The scene was a little out of control for a while, and the Song army was stopped after Lu Zifei came out, after all, this is a drill, not a war, and it is not good to look good if someone dies.
"Hanzhang, amazing! The Liao army basically has no power to fight back, and this must be placed on the battlefield, and the Liao army will collapse at the same touch. Zhang Tangqing said without hesitation of praise.
"Don't take it seriously, this time the Liao army gave up the cavalry and chose to fight on foot, which means that they use what they are not good at and what we are good at to fight, such a result is normal, and a war of a few hundred people cannot affect the victory of a war."
Gu Xuanze said with a smile: "Hanzhang doesn't have to be presumptuous, the results are obvious to all, this victory that destroyed the ancient and decaying at least shows that you want to defeat the Liao army is not as strong as you imagined, and it also shows that your training method is correct and worthy of large-scale promotion." ”
After two unsuspenseful victories, the Liao people did not provoke on the road behind, and the two sides entered the territory of the Liao peacefully.
The sixteen states of Yanyun were the sting in the hearts of all the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, they did not touch a piece of land that once belonged to the Han people, and after the end of the Mongol rule, this land returned to the arms of the Han people.
Liu Liufu didn't know what psychology he was in, he rarely took the mission into the city, he usually lived in a post station outside the city, on the day of the reunion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on July 7, the mission came to Zezhou, which was already very close to the capital of Zhongjing, and the mission decided to recuperate in Zezhou City for two days.
Lu Zifei accompanied Liang Shi to wander around Zezhou City, and Lu Zifei said the questions that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"My lord, why did I find that the Han people here look at us with indifference in their eyes, but the Liao people only have curiosity in their eyes, and there is no hatred, have you noticed?"
Liang Shi said: "You have observed carefully, the reason for this problem is not difficult to explain, if you are abandoned, will you still face the person who abandoned you with a smile?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "That has nothing to do with us!" They are just dissatisfied, the person they should be looking for is Shi Jingjiao, Taizu Taizu has never heard of any help from them in several Northern Expeditions, no. ”
"This is the psychology of people at work, plus the people of Liao have been preaching all kinds of bad things in the court in order to win people's hearts, it is not surprising that this situation has been going on for generations, I can't see the day when their psychology will be reversed, it will depend on your generation."
Lu Zifei didn't have any ideas, so he could only leave it behind first, and the two of them walked and watched, Lu Zifei saw that the herdsmen's trade was still in that era of barter, and he really couldn't figure out how they used such an ancient way to calculate the price.
Liang Shi said: "Don't be surprised, there are many places in the Great Song Dynasty that are using this method, and some places in the southwest are not as good as others, if you have the opportunity to go there to be an official, you will see it." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Our ancestors began to use currency to trade three thousand years ago, and the value of currency is no less important to a country than words, which is the difference between farming culture and nomadic people." ”
On the streets of Liao, as long as you have salt, tea, iron pots, axes and the like, then you are definitely the most beautiful cub on this street, these things are very common in the Great Song Dynasty, you can sell them here for sky-high prices, which is why those merchants risk life and death to smuggle.
"Your kid's caravan has made a lot of money in Liao and Western Xia in the past few years!"
Lu Zifei said: "You all know about this"
The grain said, "What do you think? There is no acquiescence of the imperial court in a large trading transaction like yours, you really think that you will dare to let your goods out of the customs just by relying on the border army, and you kid will also look for opportunities, it's not that no one thought about it before, but the timing is not good, but you have done a good job in supporting the border army and the border state, otherwise you would have been confiscated by the imperial court. ”
"What do you think you are secret? The profit is very large, but the big head is still given to the border army and the yamen, and many shameless ones are paid on credit, and the money that Jingzhao Mansion owes me now can't be repaid for a hundred years, and in the end it is a little hard-earned money in my hands. ”
Liang Shi smiled, didn't answer the question, pointed to the pedestrians on the street and said: "Test you, do you think the Liao Kingdom is better than the Great Song Dynasty now, if there is a war, who will have a better chance of winning." ”
Lu Zifei said: "It must be the big win of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no doubt about this, the opening of the sea route makes the financial situation of the imperial court not so tight, Fan Xiang dismantled a number of troops last year, although the number is not very large, but it also greatly alleviates the financial load of the imperial court,
Three years of recuperation at least gave the imperial court a breather, the Liao State also fought with the Western Xia in the past two years, tens of thousands of soldiers were lying on the battlefield, and they were also full of internal contradictions, and the seemingly huge empire was actually sunset. ”
"It makes sense, but it's not impressive, with a strong national idea, Liao still has their desirable places, and we are far from each other in terms of military strength, and if they want to gather an army, it is not as difficult as you think."
Lu Zifei said: "Yes! But the kid thinks that the war is about the economy and logistics, since he entered the territory of the Liao country, the kid has been watching, the polarization gap between the rich and the poor in their country is extremely serious, the rich live a luxurious life, the poor can't eat enough, once there is a war, you want the rich to put money into the war machine, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
Liang Shi sighed: "Why not the Great Song Dynasty? There is no way to put an end to this situation, it can only be said that the gap between the two is minimized, and the young man's brain is turning fast, and I will give you ninety points for this assessment. ”
"It's not a hundred! The kid still thinks he'll get a perfect score? ”
"Be content! After Xi Yuan answered, I only gave him 50 points, and he didn't pass yet? ”
