The Li clan of Western Xia has been dominant in the northwest for more than 21 years, but from the beginning of the late Tang Dynasty to the present day, the Li regime has been entrenched in that place for more than 100 years.

The Li family, in the words of Song Beiyun, is the parasite-like family, they have submitted to the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties of the regime and the Song Dynasty, and the Later Song Dynasty was weak and attached to the Liao. He is also good friends with Tibet and Black Turks, which can be said to be a source of left and right.

If you want to say who cares about Xixia, no one cares about Xixia, a place where you search and sneak around, and you don't even take a bath. None of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao looked at him squarely.

But in the past ten years, the Western Xia has fully interpreted an idiom, that is, Taoguang Yanghui. It took advantage of the melee between Song Liao, Song Jin, Jin Liao, Liaomeng, and Song Meng, and secretly developed a wave.

Now it is said that there are 300,000 male soldiers in the whole Western Xia, and there are countless elite soldiers.

But with the Western Xia's traditional search and stealing, they did not dare to do it openly, so they could only play some dirty methods in private, first stealing the Shaanxi land that should have belonged to the Liao State, and even the old capital Chang'an was taken down by them, and then Luoyang was also in the bag.

But this incident does not prove how strong they are, but simply because of the confrontation between Jin and Liao at that time, most of the troops of the Liao State were resisting the Jin State that was eyeing the tiger.

Now the Liao State can't spare its hands to do them, because the Golden Horde has sprung up, but the Jin State is still staring there, compared to the Western Xia who is secretly making trouble behind the scenes, these two behemoths are the henchmen of the Liao State.

The Song State has always been in the rear, and has been plagued by civil strife and disasters in recent years. No, he was targeted by Xixia, who specializes in picking up heads.

They are really smart, and they know that although the Great Song Dynasty is not as strong as before, the Great Song Dynasty, which is good at positional warfare and defensive warfare, is definitely not a bone to gnaw on, so they have been privately wooing the generals and officials of the Great Song Dynasty all these years.

The first one to be corroded is the history of Jingzhou's assassination, this assassin history is the person who was supported by Emperor Taizong, and he has been an official envoy in the Taizong Dynasty, but after Emperor Baoqing ascended the throne, he can only go to be a state assassin history, and there is a military management of Xiangyang pressing him to death.

He was dissatisfied and dissatisfied in his heart, and it was not surprising that he was corrupted by the Li clan of Western Xia, and now he was waiting for the day when everything was ready.

Xiao Song knows these things, as the boss of the highest-level spy agency in the Great Song Dynasty, if this kind of thing can't be found, it is better to go home as soon as possible and concentrate on taking care of the children.

However, if you know, you know, the intelligence agency pays attention to being ruthless and judging the situation. Until there is no evidence that this person can be killed directly, if you can stand still, you will not move. After all, until now, Western Xia was still a nominal vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and his status was similar to that of Annan, and regarding the actions of Jingzhou's assassination history, he still had the ability to get out, and even Song Beiyun had no way to slap him to death from the legal theory.

Be reasonable, be reasonable in everything. Some people in the upper echelons of the Imperial City Division advocated the direct assassination of the assassin of Jingzhou or the current king of Western Xia, but all proposals for assassination and kidnapping were vetoed by Song Beiyun, as an intelligence agency, if it wanted to use this kind of indiscriminate operation to complete the task, it could be said to be a complete failure.

Because the assassination will make a very bad start, the intelligence community has its own ways of playing and rules, and since the Warring States period, it is no longer popular to play assassins, because this kind of thing is easy to expose, everyone has their own kings and their own relatives, and the underground front is cruel and cruel, but everyone will silently abide by some unwritten unspoken rules.

Of course, in addition to the traitors, if one day the Liao State defected to the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty defected to the Liao State and the whole family died mysteriously, the intelligence departments of the two countries basically passed by casually fooling around. Traitors, there are no human rights, no matter which country the traitor is, it is not a pity to die.

Moreover, Xiao Song believes that it is best to force Jingzhou and Western Xia as soon as possible, because Da Song Tai needs a brilliant victory to prove himself. Years of defeat have softened the bones of the Great Song Dynasty, and a war can not only increase domestic demand but also boost morale.

A country and a nation need heroes, the heroes of the older generation are slowly weathering over time, but the new generation of heroes has not yet been created, which is a very bad thing, so the Great Song Dynasty needs a low-intensity local war to prove its combat effectiveness, so that the people have self-confidence and the court has morale.

So who is the best place to start this battle? Naturally, it is Western Xia. After all, you really can't beat Liao...... But if you fight Xixia, Xiao Song and Fu Wangye carefully studied the combat effectiveness of Xixia, and Fu Wangye used three words to describe it, that is, "stinky shit".

Are the Western Xia cavalry fierce or not? In fact, they are naturally tough, but they are different from the steppe cavalry, the people of the steppe are tenacious, unyielding, and extremely strong-willed, and they are opponents that no commander can bear to belittle.

But the Tangut people are different, some people may not like to hear it, but the soldiers of the Tangut have nothing to do except for brutality, and the single combat effectiveness can barely fight with the Liao cavalry, but the will to fight, training, organization and collective sense of honor are not at all a level thing.

If the cavalry charge between the Liao State and the Golden Horde was two red-eyed giant wolves fighting for their lives, then the Western Xia was a jackal dog that would retreat with its tail between its legs immediately after a miss, sinister but not mighty.

As long as they were defeated once on the frontal battlefield, it would be difficult for them to organize a second round of charge, which was Western Xia.

Therefore, Xiao Song thinks that this Western Xia is a good place to give Song Liwei, let it jump out for a while, and then directly don't say anything unpredictable, and then kill Xingqing Mansion in a wave and then besiege the city for three days and then retreat.

As for why you don't just knock it down, it's not impossible...... But it is really not necessary for the time being, the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to raise that barren land for the time being, and once the Western Xia is defeated, the Great Song Dynasty will have to face the grassland, the Black Turks, and the Tibetans, and then the Liao State will be able to show its strength with free hands.

So the plan has already been formulated, and now we are waiting for that action, and they must do it first, otherwise there will be internal disputes between the main battle faction and the faction, and the people will also complain.

So even Xiao Song investigated them thoroughly, but he still pretended not to know anything, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As far as Fu Wangye's comments on Zhao Xingna are concerned, Xiao Song's evaluation is that "there are no conspirators in the world", and Zhao Xing naturally readily agreed to the plan set by such a person.

Xiao Song, who got up early, yawned, and Biluo next to him was still holding his waist and sleeping, although it was late yesterday, but the hateful biological clock made him open his eyes early.

"It's damning...... Xiao Song rubbed his face: "I can't sleep for four hours a day, and sooner or later I'll be bald." ”

And at this moment, Xiao Yu appeared at the window again, he blinked and looked at Xiao Song, and Xiao Song also looked at him.

"It's definitely not good for you to look for me early in the morning."

"The official family asked me to inform Lord Song that you can solve it by yourself today, he has no time to accompany you, he is going to comfort the peasants."

Xiao Song turned over, rubbed Biluo's hair, and yawned again: "Got it...... You don't have to come early in the morning for that. ”

"The official also said that you should arrange a better painting boat in the evening."

Xiao Song coughed and sat up: "He's going to sneak out again?" ”

The official said...... He came here to play, if he wasn't allowed to play, what difference would it be from being in Jinling? He also said......" Xiaoyu hesitated, not knowing whether to say the words later.

"Say what? You just say it. ”

"The official also said that Song Beiyun is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, if he refuses to take me to play, I will send him to Qiongzhou to be an assassin."

"This dog thing!" Song Beiyun scolded: "This purebred dog emperor! ”

Xiao Yu covered his ears: "Xiao Yu didn't hear anything...... Lord Song, Xiaoyu has taken his leave. ”

After the person left, Xiao Song fell on the bed in a dejected manner, his shouting had already woken up Biluo next to him, and after Xiaoyu left, she slowly leaned into Song Beiyun's arms, and whispered: "Don't worry about Lord Song, Biluo will help you arrange these things." ”

Xiao Song sighed: "If something really happens to that dog emperor, we will all be finished." ”

Biluo rubbed lightly on Xiao Song's chest: "In Hangzhou, this one-third of an acre, Biluo still speaks." ”

"Alright, let's sleep a little longer, or I'm going to die suddenly." Xiao Song sighed: "It's really troublesome......"

"Then Biluo is going to prepare some food for the adults."

"Then you prepare, I'll sleep a little longer."

At the same time, Zhao Xing was sitting in the garden while drinking tea while listening to the report of Hangzhou Thorn History, he listened to his thoughts and his mind had drifted to the painting boat, everyone said that this girl in Hangzhou was as gentle as water, but he could only face the dry bad old man in front of him.

Zhao Xuan felt bitter...... When he thought that Song Gou could have a gentle township here, he was even more angry.

"Bastard!"

This reprimand startled the assassin who reported the work on the other side, and quickly got up and said respectfully: "The official, it's not that the ministers are unfavorable, but that Hangzhou's tax revenue has dropped by three percent since last month......

"Less than 30%?" Zhao Xing finally relieved himself, and he said with a straight face: "Why is there less than thirty percent?" ”

"The minister is still investigating the matter, as if many industries have stopped overnight and are no longer in business. Or sell it to others, in short, Hangzhou is really a little unbearable for a while. ”

"Thirty percent? A city's industry is less than 30%? Zhao Xuan frowned: "Interesting." ”

The study in Qinglong Yuan is not without gains, at least Zhao Xing learned a lot from Xiao Song, such as this simple economics, he understands what the concept of a sharp reduction of three percent is, this is definitely not a natural law but someone is selling assets.

Who's playing this hand?
