Chapter 461: Prisoner Exchange

From a soldier to the government, the Great Song Wei Di Qing and Guo Kui were two.

Moreover, Su You believes that Guo Kui's ability is strategically displayed and is higher than Di Qing.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty discussed Lingwu, and Kui said: "The land is far away and the food is not sustainable, the city is big and there are not many soldiers, and I have not seen its benefits." "In a few years, Jingyuan Ren Fu did not have the whole army, and people obeyed his foresight.

Chen Zhizhong appeased Jingdong Road and asked him to be a general.

At that time, Chen Zhizhong and Bin Zuo discussed today's famous generals and jointly promoted Ge Huaimin. Guo Kui interjected on the side: "Huai Min is easy to deal with, he will lose the court affairs one day." ”

Chen Zhizhong was very angry, and after a few days, he summoned Guo Kui into the mansion and asked, "How do you know that Ge Huaimin is not a famous general and has been defeated?" ”

Guo Kui said: "I am happy to be lucky, but I am brave and unplanned, but I am also a bird." ”

Zhizhong sighed: "Jun Zhen knows the soldiers, and Huaimin is overthrown." ”

However, this baby is quite good at being a person, so her fate is much better than Di Qing.

This baby was already burly when she was young, and she liked to carry two pieces of bread every day and read "Hanshu" in the Zhouxi Restaurant in Bianjing.

When he was hungry, he bought a liter of wine, ate it with bread, and then read a book until after sunset.

Su You felt very funny about this rumor, he could only read when he listened to the sound of striking iron, and this baby had to study in the downtown area, which was simply the same thing.

Everyone is a good actor, and the doctors are a good audience.

However, like Di Qing, Zhao Shu's appointment caused great resistance from the court, and after Han Qi agreed, he was complained by many colleagues.

Han Qi shamelessly threw the pot to the emperor: "I know that Guo Kui is not good, but this position was created by His Majesty. ”

Even so, the appointment did not last long, and Guanzhong is now an important region, and accordingly, the strategic location of Weizhou has become extremely important.

So Guo Kui was arranged clearly by the center in a blink of an eye and was thrown away to Shaanxi.

If you want to appease Shaanxi, you have to manage Weizhou well, and Weizhou, whether it is military, political or civil, can not bypass Su You.

Zhao Ji gave Guo Kui an idea and asked him to follow Feng Jing and ask Su You for advice.

The Great Song Dynasty is a double-standard country, when Zhang Dian left, Qinzhou has found gold and copper associated mines, according to the previous agreement, Qinzhou out of Weizhou, gold to Qinzhou, refined copper to Weizhou.

However, it is impossible to expect Guo Kui to use copper for weapons tests, and this baby is now trembling like Di Qing, for fear of being calculated by civilian officials.

Dare to use copper to make the so-called military weapons, not to mention whether it can be technically successful, Xue Xiang Cai and Feng Jing are not worthy of cooperation, just the Taiwan is afraid that he will not be impeached!

So Su You had no choice but to advise him not to touch that thing, and this matter was honestly handed over to the Transshipment Division, as a reserve for the issuance of Shu banknotes, which could be regarded as making the best use of it.

In addition, as a good thing to attract investment, copper can also stimulate merchants from all over the country to sell in Weizhou, Xue Xiang and Feng Jing are better, and the military is also better.

What Guo Kui was able to do was to train the cavalry, arm the Han Chinese, add four-wheeled carriages, and equip the carriages with plate armor to make them a sports fortress to cooperate with the cavalry.

This puts forward high requirements for transportation, but now that there is asphalt and cement, the second thing Guo Kui has to do is to form an accomplice with Li Ruoyu, organize the Xiang army and the people, and continue to build the traffic road between Guwei, Qinzhou, Weizhou, Ningxia City, Huanzhou, and Qingzhou.

With the expansion of the road, there was also Tuntian, and walled forts were built along the road for war preparation.

Since it was brought over by King Ying, Su You also understood who the Weizhou military intelligence network should be handed over.

So this letter is very thick and long, and it is very important, Su You asked Zhang Qi to deliver it in person.

The news of Su Xun's death has reached Meishan, but Su You can't wait for Su anymore.

In September, Weizhou was ripe, but the border areas between Western Xia and Weizhou were struggling.

Lang Zuo sent envoys to the imperial court to cry poverty and ask for the surplus money in the account of the Sitong money bank to buy grain.

The gentlemen of the court sympathized with the suffering of the people of Western Xia and were ready to agree.

However, Su You's recital arrived, asking the gentlemen of the court not only to see the people of the Western Xia, but also to see the people of Shaanxi who were plundered by the Western Xia in the past year!

So it's okay to buy grain, but you have to attach conditions and exchange captives for people!

This recital, Su You was delivered through formal channels, and it immediately caused great trouble to both sides of Song and Xia.

The Song court was mainly worried that after the prisoners of war returned, they would become the combat force of Western Xia again.

There are two sentences mentioned by the imperial history, but they were suppressed in a blink of an eye, and the reputation of inhumanity is not even borne by the emperor.

Han Qi had no choice but to scold Su You for being troublesome, and at the same time instructed Guo Kui to discuss this matter with the Xia envoy.

Xixia is also in trouble, the harvest is already in arrears, and there are so many mouths to eat, and the New Year's coins that have been sacrificed painfully, is the food in exchange for enough for these people to eat?

In the same way, I can't say this, many of these people are the elite of his personal guards, once Su You raises the banner of benevolence and righteousness, then no one will be able to solve it.

After Guo Kui received another letter from Su You, he immediately took active action and took the initiative to undertake this mission.

……

In winter and October, the first light snow fell, and the exchange of prisoners of war was carried out in Shimenxia.

Feng Jing looked at the two thousand Western Xia captives with dead faces, sighed, and said to Guo Kui and Li Ruoyu: "You can do evil......

Li Ruoyu put his hands in his down sleeves: "We haven't done anything bad in this matter, the official family is seriously ill, and we exchange it for 5,000 people, which can be regarded as benevolence for the official family." ”

Jia Kui nodded: "It was these prisoners of war who heard that they were going to be sent back to Western Xia, and they tried to escape, and it took a lot of effort to catch them." ”

Feng Jing said: "I can't figure it out, my parents and wives are over there, why don't they want to go back?" ”

Li Ruoyu sneered: "Xia people are fatherless and motherless, and they are only subordinates. Su Mingrun and Zhang Zihou's previous ghost plan, Xu prisoners of war ransom, these two thousand prisoners of war have just dug gold mines to pay off their debts, and they are counting on a good life with the remaining gold in the Great Song Dynasty, but they were beaten back to their original form with a stick, and they returned to Xixia, and their parents and wives were still not there, and they said ......"

As soon as he talked about this, Feng Jing saw the ragged team of Great Song people on the opposite side appear, and scolded: "These damn killers!" A dozen horses galloped up.

Men accounted for only half of the Song people, and a small half were women, children and old people who were used by the Tangut people to fill the numbers, all of them were still wearing single clothes, and their faces were blue from the cold.

Li Ruoyu's face was pale, and with a wave of his hand, the van soldiers hurriedly uncovered the cauldron, which was full of beef soup made according to the Meishan recipe, and Chen San and Li Laozhuan of the Sitong business also called the horse convoy to hurry over: "Hurry up, take the blanket, prepare to pick up people, the summer dog of the straight lady thief!" What a sin......"

Feng Jing rode back and forth in front of the team, shouting: "The people of the Great Song Dynasty, when you get here, you will go home, hurry up to the front team to get a bowl of hot soup, drink it, wrap it in a blanket and get on the car, and you have your own proper arrangements when you arrive in Weizhou City, everyone insists on it and goes home!" We're home! ”

The pace of the people was faster, Jia Kui saw a woman holding a baby in her arms, quickly jumped off the horse, untied the big hat and surrounded her, glanced at the child in her arms, stopped talking, sighed and said: "Lady, hurry up and drink soup to make up for the heat." ”

The woman walked forward with empty eyes, and Li Ruoyu asked, "Old Guo, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Kui whipped his whip fiercely, and the whip snapped with a crisp sound, startling the teams on both sides to speed up.

Guo Kui whispered to Li Ruoyu: "That kid has ...... Alas......"

I don't know if this was heard by the team, but the crowd of the people began to cry.

First faintly, then into a howl.
