For example, the Jin army still disdains to do things like digging people's ancestral graves, but at this time, the puppet Qi regime is destitute, with a radius of 3,000 miles and corpses all over the field, Liu Yu is really too poor.

Liu Yu also knew that his emperor was the godson of the Jin State, just to serve the Jin State, so he didn't think about working hard at all, he just wanted to be the emperor for a day and enjoy a day of life, so he began to wantonly loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and the amount of tribute given by the Jin State was too large, and it was really difficult for him to complete.

So Liu Yu led the army to dig graves everywhere, so the army of pseudo-Qi may not be able to fight well, but this technique of finding holes and locating them is quite good.

Not to mention, Liu Yu really completed the task of giving Jin Guo tribute and silver through this digging of other people's ancestral graves, and even filled the warehouse built by Liu Yu himself, but Liu Yu's actions also made the people complain, so many people began to flee to the Song Dynasty.

The news of the establishment of the puppet Qi regime soon reached the ears of the Song Dynasty.

Above the court, Zhao Huan looked at the courtiers and said: "Now that the Jin State has established a puppet Qi regime in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, its sinister intentions are clearly exposed, you all talk about it, how should we deal with this puppet Qi regime?" ”

Li Gang pondered for a while, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, if our army wants to attack the Jin State, it must first destroy this puppet Qi regime in the middle, so that on the one hand, it can weaken our strength, and on the other hand, it can bring a buffer to the Jin army, and the Jin army is really a wishful thinking." “

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Since the founding of Taizu, the Central Plains of Beiding has been the long-cherished wish of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and now that the Jin State has established a puppet Qi regime, our army's combat strength is slightly inferior to the Jin army, but it is not a problem to fight against this puppet Qi, what do you think about recovering the lost territory at this time?" ”

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, there was a short silence in the court, and none of the courtiers dared to stand up and speak.

"What? Do you think that my Song army can't even defeat the troops of the puppet Qi? Zhao Huan said coldly, when fighting with the Jin State, you people were afraid, and felt that they were not the opponents of the Jin State Iron Cavalry, but now they are not fighting with the troops of the Jin State, but replaced by the troops of the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu, which are all a group of rabble, miscellaneous troops, can't the regular army of the Song Dynasty even win such a force?

The courtiers heard the anger in Zhao Huan's words, Li Ruoshui took a step forward, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the land occupied by the pseudo-Qi at this time is really a chicken rib, and it is useless to take it, and it is a pity to abandon it." ”

Zhao Huan didn't expect Li Ruoshui to throw out such an argument, so he nodded and said, "Tell me, why do you say that." ”

Li Ruoshui hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this pseudo-Qi land, now the people are not living, according to legend, a radius of three thousand miles, corpses and bones are all over the field, if I obtain the land of pseudo-Qi, I can't be as violent as the pseudo-Qi, and then the court needs to allocate a large amount of silver grain to help this place recuperate, it is really a chicken rib, this is one of them." ”

As a modern person, Zhao Huan is sometimes really a little different from the ideas of the ancients, Li Ruoshui's statement is obviously the thoughts of many courtiers in the court, because after Li Ruoshui finished speaking, even Li Gang actually nodded, as if he agreed with Li Ruoshui's statement.

In fact, Li Ruoshui's meaning is also obvious, Your Majesty, let's fight this pseudo-Qi, for our Song Dynasty, there is no benefit, not only can we not get a little tax, but in the past few years, we also need to invest money in this place every year to help restore production here, isn't this a thankless thing?

"Is there another two?" Zhao Huan asked rhetorically, since Li Ruoshui said one thing, it is obvious that there is another one.

"The second is the existence of this pseudo-Qi, which is also a good thing for our dynasty, which is equivalent to a buffer zone between our dynasty and the Jin country, and our army does not have to face the Jin army directly, which is also good." Li Ruoshui said.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "Although our army is no longer in contact with the Jin Army, it is a two-way force that has to face the Jin Army's pseudo-Qi, and the pressure has not only not decreased, but has also expanded a lot. ”

When Li Ruoshui heard Zhao Huan say this, he retreated and did not refute.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said to the courtiers: "The land of pseudo-Qi has always been the homeland of my Han nation to recuperate, and the land of Shandong and Hebei is also my descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all my people, and now they are living in dire straits, but you want me to abandon them, do you think I can do this?" ”

When the courtiers heard what Zhao Huan said, they all lowered their heads, Zhao Huan was saying righteousness, and they had no way to refute it.

"And now General Han Shizhong is drawing his salary from the bottom of the kettle and besieging the Jin State to go to Beijing, this is also the best time to destroy Jin, otherwise once the Jin army comes back and moves south again, will our army face the harassment of the Jin army again and again?" Zhao Huan asked rhetorically.

Although the ancient nomads are economically and culturally backward, but the flexibility is very strong, they live on horseback for a long time, every time they break into the city where the Han people gather, burn and loot, and take away a large number of gold and silver treasures and women, the Song Dynasty has no defense of the Great Wall, Kaifeng is in the plain area, the iron cavalry of the Jin army can completely drive straight in, which is also one of the reasons why the Song army is difficult for the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, it's just that the treasury is tight now, our dynasty has been at war for many years, and now the people are determined that since the Jin country has withdrawn its troops, it is really not suitable for our dynasty to start another war." Zhao Ding, the head of the household, stood up and said.

Although this group of people are all officials of the main battle faction, at this time, they are all standing up against Zhao Huan's use of troops against the pseudo-Qi, and Zhao Huan couldn't help but hesitate at this time.

In fact, what Zhao Ding said is true, and now the treasury is really nervous.

"Without a stable external environment, how can we go all out to develop the economy?" Zhao Huan couldn't help but think of the scene at the beginning of the founding of the Celestial Empire in the later generations, when the Celestial Empire was blocked and it was simply impossible to develop the economy, and then the international situation stabilized, which made the Celestial Empire have a vigorous development for twenty years.

"Only by recovering the lost territory and setting the Central Plains in the north can we truly ensure the long-term peace and stability of our dynasty, and the unprecedented prosperity of the previous dynasty is precisely when all nations come to the dynasty and all countries surrender." After a pause, Zhao Huan continued: "Enduring the pain for a while at this time can ensure long-term peace and stability for a hundred years."
