When the old man heard this, he was even angrier.

Su Ge Sada was the most intelligent and outstanding son of the Su Ge family, and according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty to control Hu Jiang, he went to Tokyo Taixue to go to school, learn to be a Han Chinese, and at the same time take him hostage.

Such a person who enjoyed the preferential treatment of the Great Song Dynasty and learned the essence of Han culture did not think about the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty, and actually encouraged betrayal.

"Why are you doing this?"

It was too difficult for the old man to understand Sugesada's behavior.

You have lived in the imperial capital for so many years, and when you see the highly prosperous and developed commerce, abundant agriculture, and rich and prosperous life of civilization in my Great Song Dynasty, why are you willing to go to Western Xia to be a wandering savage?

The existence of Cangzhao has indeed had a huge impact on and changed the Great Song Dynasty invisibly.

Let's not talk about the rebellion. Not to mention the strong and active business driven by Cangzhao, just talk about agriculture.

Because of the popularity of high-yield crops such as corn and fanxia, grain production in the Great Song Dynasty reached an unprecedented height. The reason why there are still large-scale vagrants and beggars is because of the excessive greed and profligacy of the royal family, the bureaucracy, and the rural tyrants and gentry.

But no matter what, the Great Song Dynasty has the fundamental strength of wealth and strength.

The perception and evaluation of corruption and corruption by the people and officials have been different from ancient times to today.

As a key member of the bureaucracy, the old people do not think that official corruption is as serious as the people who have been poisoned.

The ruling class deserves it. With power comes more wealth. Otherwise, what would you do when you are in power? The emperor didn't care about the corruption of officials, he was only afraid of disloyalty.

This is the general thinking of the ruling class.

In the eyes of the old people, the Great Song Dynasty had a rich and prosperous foundation and a strong Western army. Although there are such and such hidden dangers, enjoyment is excessive. But it is impossible to destroy the country.

He had never had the idea of the rapid demise of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Sugesada sneered and pointed out that the Great Song Dynasty would soon die.

His reasoning was: He saw that the important officials in the imperial court, such as Cai Jing, were all moths who only cared about their own pleasure and profit. Da Song is just an empty shell with a gorgeous and strong appearance. There were many bandits, robbers were rampant, and the government was powerless or simply inactive, which proved that the Great Song Dynasty was vulnerable.

A country that is bound to perish soon, what are the Suge family loyal to it for?

"Chongshuai, our people in Ding'an Village are not Han people, why should we accompany the Han country to destroy together? The Xia Kingdom is still strong, why don't we take refuge? ”

The old race did not accept the idea that the Great Song Dynasty would die at all. "This ridiculous excuse is the reason why you, a smart man, instigated the betrayal of the family?" ”

Sugesada shook his head and said, "I know that the seed marshal doesn't believe my prophecy. The bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty thought like a kind of handsome, so they would die faster. ”

He jumped off his horse, threw away his sword, and said to the old breed: "This matter is caused by me." The first sin is mine. Please slash me with a thousand knives to relieve my resentment. I also use this to repay the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty to me for nearly ten years. I'm not afraid of death, I just hope that the shuai can take a good look at the essence of the Great Song Dynasty when he has nothing to do and think about the future of the family and the Western Army. ”

According to his temper and style of acting, Wang Dewang Yasha, who should have been the most angry and ferocious and vengeful, stood quietly at this moment, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As for the other generals of the Western Army who participated in the war, they all angrily scolded the Hu people in Ding'an Zhai for being unfamiliar with wild wolves. All of them should be cut with a thousand cuts.

A certain general shouted: "Dashuai, this fang is too ungrateful, arrogant and conceited, and he dares to curse my Great Song Guoyun." The last general really can't stand it. ”

As he spoke, an arrow struck Sugesada in the heart.

This far-sighted young man of the Hu people fell to the ground and died with hatred.

Whatever the reason. Betrayal comes at a price.

In order to warn the attached Hu people, the old man hardened his heart and swung his sword fiercely. Suddenly there was a flurry of arrows......

Zhao Yue didn't know that there was such a follow-up to the Kongtong Mountain incident. If he knew that there was a young man who could see through the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty, maybe love would save him.

The group of four of them was stationed in a hidden place in Taiyue Mountain at the moment. Watch the fierce fight not too far away.

To be precise, an officer and a mountain king competed to determine the ownership of the military supplies transported by the officers and soldiers.

The King of the Mountain won. The goods naturally go to the bandits. The officer won. The bandits let them go, and they came forward to help speed up the goods out of the mountains.

What made Zhao Yue pay attention was that. There were two martial arts competitions, and the young officer's name was Han Shizhong. The young mountain king is called Shanshiqi.

These two are both generals that Zhao Yue has always accepted.

Since he met him so happily, with Zhao Yue's temperament, he naturally refused to let it go.

He was glad that he had made this trip diligently. As for whether it is true that Heaven rewards diligence, Zhao Yue didn't think about it at all.

Han Shizhong is a fierce general under the small kind of economic strategy, and the army is accustomed to calling him Han Wu.

It's not a friendly nickname.

To put it bluntly, Han Shizhong is brave and brave, it seems that he was born to fight, that is, he was born for war, and he has made countless meritorious contributions in the past few years since he joined the army, but because he is arrogant and pranky in the army, he loves to drink and fight, his popularity is not generally bad, he does not commit major crimes, he keeps making small mistakes, and he has no foundation, so he will never be promoted.

Fortunately, the small species knew what he could and took care of it relatively well, so Han Shizhong's head escaped the fate of being cut off by his boss again and again.

Now, he was ordered by the Minister of the Minor Race to take a thousand soldiers to transport military supplies, in fact, he bought salt and sugar and other goods from pirates to and from the northwest.

The Western Army peddles smuggled goods for two reasons.

One is naturally self-interest for money. One is for the public, to make up for the huge cost of raising horses. It's a balance between public and private.

From the beginning more than ten years ago, Zhao Ji, the emperor, refused to give the Western Army money to raise horses.

However, the Great Song Dynasty did not have the vast pastures of the horseback people for the horses to enjoy to their heart's content, and the Western Army wanted to get excellent war horses, so they could only spend money to buy grain intensive breeding.

Even if the generals of the six divisions of the Western Army are honest and honest officials, they have to sell and raise funds for raising horses. Otherwise, it is impossible to breed horses on a large scale.

Military smuggling is the most secure and convenient way to do so. This will be the case in the future, let alone now. The Western Army will inevitably follow this path of making money.

At this time, only the pirate's best-selling cargo was the most able to raise money quickly. The Western Army didn't care whether the pirates were enemies of the Great Song Dynasty. Ignoring this move, it would do great damage to the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty. Collectively and individually, the current difficulties must first be overcome by means of a solution, and who has the time to take care of the rest or later.

Lao Tzu always sells smuggled goods for the public, in order to strengthen the military strength of the protection court. No matter how excessive, it is still more justified than those shameless civil officials who peddle smuggling.

In fact, no one cares about the Western Army.

Who would dare to stop the seizure of the inventory?

If there is a trouble, the emperor can't do anything about the Western Army Group.

If the emperor is held accountable, send a minister to ask for the guilt. Those generals can stretch out their hands, okay, Lao Tzu abides by the law and does not sell smuggling, then you give me the money for raising horses.

Zhao Ji may know, or may not know about the smuggling of the Western Army, in short, he has never asked. (To be continued.) )
