Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu heard Xiao Bi's analysis, and his face was a little not good-looking.

After he led his soldiers and horses into Hexi of the Song Kingdom, he did not slaughter any civilians, because there was no chance.

After the soldiers and horses of the Song State led his troops into the country, he decisively implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and there was no wool in the huge Guazhou and Shazhou, and the common people were even more rapped.

But when he was fighting against the Song State, he killed many of the Song State's soldiers and horses.

According to Xiao Pidi's statement, he can be regarded as having a mortal enmity with the Song State, and once the Song State frees up his hands, he will inevitably destroy the Black Khan Dynasty.

It's just that most of the grain and grass in the hands of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu have been burned, and there is not enough grain and grass to support him, so he has no intention of fighting again.

Therefore, even if Xiao Pi's words affected him, he still did not change his mind to retreat.

"If you hurt one of them, you will be punished? The Song people are really arrogant. If they do not enter the territory of our Black Khan, if they enter the territory of our Black Khan, the Khan will call for no return. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu had a gloomy face and snorted coldly.

Xiao Pidi frowned and said in a deep voice: "King Khan! The prosperity of the Song State is obvious to all. King Khan really thinks that the soldiers and horses of your Black Khan Dynasty can stop the Song State soldiers from entering the country? ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu had a cold face, "There are millions of soldiers under this Khan's account, how can it be that there is no way to help a small Song Kingdom." ”

"Little Song Kingdom?"

Xiao Pidi stared at the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, and said loudly: "The Khan King has millions of soldiers, and the Song Kingdom is the same. The people under the account of the Khan had more than 2 million accounts, and the people of the Song Kingdom had more than 40 million households.

The men under the Khan's tent were barely two hundred and seventy or eight hundred thousand.

The number of men sitting down in the Song Emperor was 48 million.

The Khan gathered a million male soldiers and almost evacuated half of the men of the Black Khan Dynasty.

But the Song Emperor summoned a million male soldiers, and he only needed to sit in the place where he sat and transferred men.

The Khan's million-strong army is gone, and the Black Khan Dynasty will be broken.

But the Song Emperor's million male soldiers are gone, and the Song Emperor can issue an order to transfer another million male soldiers.

With such a disparity in national strength, King Khan dared to be inferior to the Song Kingdom? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Pi pointed to the direction where the Liao State is located, "There are 13 million people under my emperor's account, and 16 million men are huge, and my emperor is still cautious about dealing with the Song State."

Khan King An dare to Xiao Xun Song State? ”

Xiao Pidi subconsciously clenched his fists, "If our emperor is defeated, there are 13 million people, and it is very likely that 10 million accounts will be ruled by the Song State." According to the habits of those in power in the Song State, when the soldiers and horses of your Black Khan Dynasty invade you, it is very likely that there will be my Liao people, and my Liao people are likely to be the vanguard.

The strength of the 200,000 soldiers and horses under my account, the king of Khan knows in his heart.

If they were more than a million in number and invaded the Black Khan Dynasty, would the Khan be able to do so? ”

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard this, his face was gloomy and could drip blood.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu has been with Xiao Pi's rival and Xiao Pi's soldiers and horses for a long time, and knows the strength of Xiao's soldiers and horses.

To put it bluntly, the number of soldiers and horses under Xiao Pi's command does not need to exceed one million, as long as there are 500,000, he can suppress and beat the millions of black sweat soldiers under his command.

If the number of soldiers and horses under Xiao Pi's command really exceeded one million, it would be able to easily sweep through the Black Khan Dynasty.

Xiao Pidi gritted his teeth and said: "This battle is a battle related to the national fortune, not only the national fortune of my Liao people, but also the national fortune of your Black Khan people. Therefore, we cannot retreat, let alone lose.

If we retreat and lose, our country will be ruined, and our descendants will be enslaved.

And you and I will also be cut off and sent to Emperor Song, and let Emperor Song kick him. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu had a gloomy face, raised his head and stared at Xiao Pidi, and said in a somewhat stiff voice: "It was you who pulled Ben Khan into this war, if you don't pull Ben Khan into this war, Ben Khan may be able to live with Emperor Song without incident." ”

"Peaceful?"

Xiao Pidi asked: "King Khan thinks that in this Western Regions, Emperor Song will be satisfied if he takes a small Hexi?" The Song Emperor effectively imitated the ambitions of the first emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties, how could he let the territories controlled by the Han and Tang dynasties fall into the hands of others?

Did the Khan forget the half of the Tang monument he saw in the Uighurs of Western Prefecture? ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu gritted his teeth, hung 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 didn't open his mouth and agreed to stay.

Xiao Pidi said bluntly: "The foreign ministers know that the king of Khan had to withdraw because of the lack of food and grass. ”

Xiao Pidi gave the Black Khan King Yu Sufu a step, and the Black Khan King Yu Sufu took advantage of the situation and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses are consumed too much, and Ben Khan can continue to requisition from the country, but there is no grain and grass, and Ben Khan has no way to consume it with the Song people."

The large quantities of gold, silver, grain, and grass that Ben Khan had seized from the Uighurs in Western China had all been brought back to the country, and were now probably exhausted.

If Ben Khan wanted to get the gold, silver, and grain back, he had to return to his home and ask for it from the nobles.

Except for Ben Khan, no one else could withhold a grain from the mouths of those nobles. ”

Xiao Pidi said solemnly: "The foreign minister also guessed the concerns of the king of Khan, so the foreign minister decided to temporarily lend to the king of Khan sixty percent of the grain, grass, cattle and sheep captured by my Liao soldiers in the Uighurs of Xizhou.

Subsequently, the king of Khan entered the Song kingdom and robbed enough grain, grass, gold and silver to return it to his foreign ministers.

The foreign minister should also have an explanation with my emperor. ”

Xiao Pidi only said to borrow, but did not say to give, just to eliminate the concerns of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

If he had generously said that he would give sixty percent of the grain seized in the Uighur territory of Xizhou to the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, then the Black Khan King Yu Sufu would certainly have doubted his intentions.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard Xiao Pidi say that he was willing to borrow food for him, and he hesitated a little in his heart.

Seeing this, Xiao Pidi continued: "My Liao State and the Black Khan are allies, and attacking the Song State is our common goal. Without the Black Khan, it is impossible for my Liao State to invade the Song State, and without my Liao State, the Khan King will not be able to attack the Song State.

So when it's time to support the Khan, my Liao State will naturally not be stingy. ”

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard this, his face looked a lot better.

Xiao Pidi said in burning words before that there were more than 10 million people under the Liao Emperor's account, which was much more powerful than the Black Khan Dynasty.

Now it is said that the Liao State is not good without Black Khan.

secretly held the black sweat king Yu Sufu, and the black sweat king Yu Sufu 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 Uighur territory of Xizhou to Ben Khan, and when Ben Khan invades the Song State, he will definitely return it twice." ”

When Xiao Pidi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "King Khan decided to stay?" ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu asked rhetorically, "Otherwise? Is it waiting for the Song Kingdom to sit big and counterattack my black sweat? ”

Xiao Pidi said decisively: "The Khan King is wise. ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu waved his hand disdainfully and said, "Don't talk to Ben Khan about this nonsense here. Ben Khan would then send people back to the country and recruit another group of soldiers and horses.

At that time, Ben Khan will follow the Song people and fight to the end at Yumen Pass.

You can't slack off on the Yangguan side.

Ben Khan attracted a lot of troops from the Song State at Yumen Pass, and the number of Song soldiers at Yangguan was probably not much.

You've got to get out of the way as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Pidi said solemnly: "The foreign minister turned around and transferred 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Uighurs in Xizhou, and joined forces to break the Yang Pass for the Khan King." ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu nodded slowly and said, "Half a month!" Within half a month, you can't break the Yang Pass, so you come here to attract the attention of the heavy soldiers of the Song State, and Ben Khan will take people to break the Yang Pass. ”

Xiao Pidi's expression stiffened slightly, and he said: "The foreign ministers strive to break through the Yang Pass for the King of Khan within half a month." ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't be so presumptuous in front of Ben Khan in the future." ”

Xiao Pidi accompanied him with a smile and said: "The foreign minister was offended for a while, and asked the Khan King to forgive him." ”

The two talked about some more scenes, and the Black Khan King Yu Sufu invited Xiao Pidi to have a light meal together.

Xiao Pidi rested in the Black Khan Barracks for the night, and then hurried back to Yangguan.

Two days later.

Xiao Pidi sent men to escort the Uighurs back to Yangguan, bringing with him more than 100,000 Uighurs from Western China.

In addition, he brought a lot of grain, grass, cattle and sheep.

Xiao Pidi left a part for himself, and sent most of the rest to the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

After the Black Khan King Yusufu got the grain, cattle and sheep, he finally let go of his mind of retreating and sent people back to the territory of the Black Khan to recruit another batch of soldiers and horses.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu decided to use a million soldiers and horses to break through the Yumen Pass.

For some time after that, there was no war between the three parties.

Xiao rivaled the Liao soldiers who were stationed in the Uighurs of Western China, and at the same time he was also drawing all the captures in the Uighurs of Western China.

The number of soldiers and horses led by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pidi is increasing, and food is also being transported into the military camp in a steady stream.

Judging from the performance of the two, the two are obviously preparing to fight with Chong Shiheng and Di Qing.

On the head of Yangguan City.

Kou Ji and Li Di stood side by side.

Look at the Liao soldiers, cattle, sheep and horses who continue to enter the Liao camp outside the city.

Li Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "They are ready to fight with us." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Courage is commendable. ”

Li Di nodded in agreement.

Kou Ji turned his head and looked at the grain and grass transportation team behind Yangguan, which was far more numerous than the Liao soldiers outside the city, and the local soldiers who came to help, with a brighter smile on his face.

Da Song now has a rich family.

The other party, whether it is fighting with the Great Song Dynasty for troops or for grain and grass, is not an opponent at all.

The number of forbidden troops in the entire Great Song Dynasty was not large.

But the number of local soldiers is beyond everyone's imagination.

With the complete implementation of the policy of reforming the government on the Great Song Road, the distribution of local soldiers has also been further sorted out.

Today, the local government soldiers, state soldiers, and county soldiers add up, and the number of troops in a government can reach more than 30,000.

In some of these military districts, the number of troops exceeds 30,000.

After the Great Song Road was reformed, how many houses were there?

Eighteen prefectures, two large military districts.

The total number of local soldiers in the 18 prefectures reached more than 500,000.

In addition to the two major forbidden armies, there are countless local soldiers in the two large military districts.

In order to effectively rule the military area, almost all the Song people in the military area were half people and half soldiers.

That's all, it's still the existing strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the war ahead is tight, Zhao Zhen gave an order, and if he wantonly recruited troops from all over the country, he could recruit one million strong men at any time and go to the battlefield.

There could even be more.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, being a soldier is no longer a thing that is looked down upon.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, being a soldier is something that can make a fortune and get rich.

The first battle in the west of the Kouji River gave birth to tens of thousands of nouveau riche and hundreds of thousands of large landowners.

The first war of Kou Ji and Western Xia gave birth to tens of thousands of nouveau riche and hundreds of thousands of large landowners.

The first battle of Dali and the first war of Liao, although not presided over by Kou Ji, also gave birth to many nouveau riche and large landowners.

The court's generosity in distributing the spoils of war is obvious to all.

If you fight, the poor peasants will become rich peasants.

Fight again, and the rich peasants will become landlords.

The children of poor families now have sharpened their heads and want to enter the army and fight on the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao were competing with Kou Ji for the advantage of troops, which was simply beyond their strength.

As for financial resources, the Black Khan Wang Yusufu and Xiao are even more unable to compare with Kou Ji.

When the Great Song Dynasty was at its poorest, its financial resources were still able to suppress all the surrounding states.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is so rich that it can rub almost all the surrounding states on the ground in terms of financial resources.

As for food, not to mention.

Li Di stayed in Yangguan and did not leave, just to stuff the stored grain, cattle and sheep, dried fruits and other things in Hexi into the army for digestion, which shows that the grain stored in Hexi has exceeded the amount that the people of Hexi and the merchants of Hexi can digest.

If the granaries in Hexi are opened for the soldiers and horses in Hexi to eat, it is estimated that they will be enough to eat for more than half a year.

And that's not even counting the food stocks elsewhere.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai, in order to get back Yanyun, not only filled the treasury, but also filled up the positions in various places.

Now the protégés of the three old men go around every day in front of the Changping positions in all parts of the world, just to avoid the local officials from hollowing out the Changping, resulting in no food when the imperial court needs to use it for war.

It was precisely because of the hard power of the imperial court that the imperial court dared to go to war with the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State.

Officially, because the hard power is enough to crush the surrounding countries, Kou Ji dared to fish at this time.

Xiao Pidi and the Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu dispatched troops and requisitioned grain and grass for a full ten days.

Ten days later.

Xiao Pidi and the Black Khan King Yu Sufu launched an attack on Yangguan and Yumen Pass.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu led his own Black Khan soldiers, and he was really tough with the Shiheng.

Xiao Pidi sent soldiers and horses from the Uighurs of Western Prefecture to fight a war of attrition with Di Qing and the others.

As soon as the war began, it never stopped.

Even if you rest, it won't last more than five hours.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu frantically attacked Yumen Pass, and Xiao Pidi also sent the soldiers and horses of the Xizhou Uighurs 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 gnaw the Yumen Pass, and Xiao failed to conquer the Yang Pass.

The two sides chose to exchange positions.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu led the Black Khan soldiers to appear in Yangguan, Yangguan did feel some pressure.

Kou Ji immediately dispatched the Black Khan 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 other party.

The battle between Yangguan and Yumen Pass was in full swing.

Bianjing City is full of singing and dancing.

Everyone in Bianjing City knew that there was a big war going on in Hexi, but no one was worried about it.

Because everyone in Bianjing City knows that Kou Ji is in Hexi.

In the impression of everyone in Bianjing City, Kou Ji has never lost a battle from the day he intervened in military affairs to the present.

Every battle he presided over was fruitful.

The people in Bianjing City felt that Kou Ji's battle in Hexi this time would inevitably yield a lot after the war.

After the beginning of the year.

The merchants in Bianjing suddenly united and proposed to the imperial court through various channels to reinstate the slave law of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Its purpose is to share the dividends of the war.

After the imperial court implemented the long-term contract, the wealthy families of the people immediately changed the short-term contract with their tenants.

The imperial court took advantage of the situation to move one million destitute people to Dali and distributed a lot of land to those destitute people.

The destitute people became small landlords.

Some of the tenants in the hands of wealthy families are fluctuating.

The wealthy families immediately panicked.

Knowing that the Black Khan King of the Black Khan Dynasty had sent a million slaves to Kou Ji, the wealthy family immediately had the idea of dividing up the millions of slaves in Kou Ji's hands.

So they all spoke out, hoping that the imperial court would reinstate the slave law, so that they could divide up the slaves in Kou Ji's hands and use them as slaves.

The sound of the re-establishment of the slave law formed a tidal wave, which continued to roll in the city of Bianjing.

Some people feel that they can't use people as animals, and some people think that barbarians are also human beings and should be educated, and they should be the voice of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are stunned that the voice of the restoration of the slave law has not been overshadowed.

In the beginning, the voice of the reinstatement of slavery law was only spread among the people.

After a courtier brought this matter to the court and told it once, this matter became a hot topic in the court.

A copy of the recital requesting the reinstatement of the slave law was handed to Zhao Zhen's desk, and Zhao Zhen looked a little big.

It was the courtiers who said that they could not use people, and it was also the courtiers who said that the slave law should be reinstated.

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that it was a little difficult for him to be an emperor.

Kou Ji is not here, and the three old men of Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng are now busy with the upcoming war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and he can't do it if he wants to find someone to discuss.

casually threw a copy of the recital requesting the reinstatement of the slave law onto the dragon case, Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyebrows, "Chen Lin, I don't want to see these recitals, you let people take them down." You accompany me to Mengxue. ”

Chen Lin bowed down and agreed, and ordered someone to take away all the notes on Zhao Zhen's desk.

Zhao Zhen let out a sigh of relief, got up and walked out of the palace, and walked towards where Meng Xue was.

The Mengxue in the palace is set up on the edge of Yanfu Palace, because Yanfu Palace is the largest palace in the palace, and there are many side halls and courtyards around, which is enough for children to make trouble, so Zhao Zhen set up Mengxue in Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Zhen arrived in front of the courtyard where Mengxue was, but did not go in, listened to it at the door, and heard the sound of the children playing, so he knew that the children had finished class, so he stepped into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I raised my eyes and looked, and my face suddenly darkened.

In the courtyard, Kou Hui was beating people, and it was Cao Yan's son who was beaten.

Zhao Run stood aside with tears in his eyes, and asked Kou Hui to stop fighting.

Kou Tianci stood aside with his arms crossed, Baoqing tugged at his sleeve, and behind him stood several young sons of Li Zhaoliang, Zhu Neng's great-grandson, and Yang Wenguang's son.

Shouqing sat in front of his desk, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes fell on the battlefield on the side.

Zhao Zhen only glanced at it, and understood everything that happened in Mengxue.

It must be the underworld forces led by a certain surname Kou who are bullying his son and his son's doglegs.

Something like this has happened more than once or twice.

Zhao Zhen himself alone bumped into him three times.

"Ahem......"

Zhao Zhen coughed heavily.

Kou Tianci and the others turned their heads and looked at the door.

As soon as he saw Zhao Zhen, Zhao Run seemed to see a savior, and shouted loudly: "My father is here, don't fight!" ”

Kou Hui heard Zhao Run's shout, let go of Cao Yan's son, and raised his eyes to see that it was really Zhao Zhen.

Immediately, she rolled off Cao Tong's son, got covered in mud, and cried with a pout.

Not only did she cry, she shouted.

"Uncle Huang, Cao Ping beat me...... Woowoo woo ......"

Cao Tong has two sons, namely the eldest son Cao Ping and the second son Cao Lu.

The one who was selected to accompany Zhao Run to study in the palace was Cao Ping, the eldest son of Cao Yan.

Zhao Zhen heard Kou Hui's villain sue first, and he was angry and funny in his heart, but his face was silent.

The first two times, when he bumped into Kou Hui and beat someone, Kou Hui did the same.

Cao Ping got up from the ground and wanted to sue with an aggrieved face, but he didn't speak.

Because he couldn't cry and shout like Kou Hui.

The last time he cried and shouted like Kou Hui, he was scolded by Zhao Zhen.

He still remembers what Zhao Zhen scolded him.

"You are also from Jiangmen, and you are two years older than Kou Hui, you can't beat Kou Hui, and you still have the face to sue." ’

In fact, he really wanted to tell Zhao Zhen that he could beat Kou Hui, and it would not be a problem to beat two Kou Hui.

However, there was a certain leader of the underworld force surnamed Kou who led three horses to watch on the side, and he didn't dare to do anything to Kou Hui.

A certain leader of the underworld forces surnamed Kou generally does not interfere in disputes between him and Kou Hui, unless he beats Kou Hui.

He is not afraid of the leader of the underworld forces, what he is afraid of is the kid surnamed Yang who follows behind the leader of the underworld forces.

That kid'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.

He fell in love with Yang Huaiyu, and he was only beaten according to the beating.

"Father, it's Kou Hui's Cao Ping!"

Zhao Run saw that Cao Ping couldn't defend himself, so he defended Cao Ping.

Zhao Zhen stepped into the courtyard and snorted, without words.

Kou Tianci, Cao Ping, Yang Huaiyu and others all bowed to Zhao Zhen.

Chen Lin moved a stool and put it behind Zhao Zhen, and after Zhao Zhen sat down, he snorted and said, "Kou Hui......"

Zhao Zhengang called out Kou Hui's name.

Kou Tianci immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Father...... Is Erchen's father good in Hexi? Can you communicate with Erchen's father in the near future, if you have corresponded with Erchen's father, please also help Erchen convey that Erchen and others will be well-behaved at home, even if they are bullied, they will swallow their anger, and they will definitely not cause him trouble. ”

After Kou Tianci finished speaking, Zhao Zhen was stunned and couldn't say anything to reprimand Kou Hui.
