Li Qingzhao never thought that the young man in front of her, who had always been kind to her, was like a devil in front of these tall and mighty men, and the fear on those people's faces was by no means pretended, but from the bone marrow.

After a while, I saw the soldiers running around the playground with brooms, dustpans, and other tools on their backs.

Li Qing looked at the soldiers and smiled at Li Qi: "Li Qi, I really can't imagine that you still have such means, I really underestimated you before." ”

Li Qi said: "Sister Qingzhao didn't underestimate me, in fact, this is not a means, to paraphrase a common saying, this is the official level to crush people." ”

The seed master waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be arrogant, there are countless people who govern the army, but I am afraid there are few people who have done what you do." ”

"But the seed is definitely one of them." Li Qi laughed.

Seed Master Dao shook his head with a smile, and did not continue, his ability to govern the army is of course much stronger than Li Qi, everyone in this world knows it, and it is superficial to say it.

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "I used to hear that the forbidden army in the capital would only bully the people, but it was useless to fight, and all of them were wine bags and rice bags, but since Dengzhou put down the rebellion, I found that those rumors are not true. ”

Although she is a woman, she has feelings of worrying about the people and the country, and Yanyun has always been a heart disease of the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Qi and the seed master listened, but they shook their heads at the same time.

Li Qingzhao saw that they didn't seem to agree with his words, and he was very puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Uncle Seed, am I wrong?" ”

The seed master sighed and said, "Zhao'er." Although you are talented and well-informed, there are some things that you still can't understand! ”

Li Qingzhao said: "I hope Uncle Seed can teach one or two." ”

The seed master said: "You are right, this forbidden army is indeed much better than before. But that's all, it's still a lot worse than the Western Xia army, not to mention the Jin army. ”

Li Qingzhao was shocked and said: "How is this possible, I heard that in Lanzhou last year, Li Qi led the forbidden army to fight a big victory. ”

Seed Master Dao shook his head and said, "That battle was mostly lucky. It can't be used to consider the strength of the two armies, and the Western Xia didn't make up their minds at that time, if it really started a full-scale war, our Great Song Dynasty would have more than enough defense, but the attack would be insufficient. Guy, I'm a big Song and a few horses. If we go deep alone, once the enemy counterattacks, we have nowhere to run, which is why my Great Song Dynasty has entered the hinterland of Western Xia three times or four times, but every time it is defeated. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "In that case, then why don't we want to recapture the Hetao area." ”

The planter smiled, "Of course we want to. But we know, and the Western Xia also know, if you want to seize the Hetao area, then unless you destroy the Western Xia, otherwise, for this land, they will fight for every inch of land, if they lose the Hetao area, then they can be declared completely defeated. ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "What the seed lord said is good, otherwise." I, the Great Song Dynasty, will not fight with the Western Xia for hundreds of years for this land, although there is a temporary victory or defeat, but the situation has not changed at all. ”

"I see!" Li Qingzhao nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then my Great Song army is compared to the Jin State." ”

"This."

Seed Master Dao shook his head and sighed, "About this. I have to admit that the Jin Army is much stronger than us, and the offense is not mentioned, even if it is defensive, it is very reluctant, and we are not their opponents at all. ”

Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "So much worse?" ”

"It's more than you think, although it's very demoralizing, but it's a fact, and for the general, you must respect the facts." The words of the seed master were obviously said to Li Qi.

Li Qi bowed his head and said: "What the seed lord said is true. ”

Seed Master Dao said: "I remember that at the beginning, when the Jin army captured Yanjing without much effort, the old man was really scared at the time, the Jin army would take advantage of the situation to go south, because my Great Song army was concentrated in Xiongzhou, if the Jin army took the opportunity to sneak attack, the consequences were unimaginable, fortunately, the economic envoy sent Yanjing, and reached an alliance with the Jin State." ”

Li Qingzhao frowned slightly and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has a large population, and the soldiers and horses are more than ten times that of the Jin army, so it won't be like this." She has always had a dream of a great country in the Central Plains in her heart, so it is difficult to accept the words of Li Qi and the seed master!

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Sister Qingzhao, if we don't fight this battle, we will win, if we start a war, no matter whether we win or lose, we are already on the inferior side." ”

When the planter heard this, he was also curious in his heart, and asked, "Li Qi, do you have any high opinions?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "In front of the seed father, how dare I mention any high opinions, in fact, I don't know much about war, and I am also a businessman to consider war." ”

The planter sighed and said, "The perspective of a businessman? The old man really wanted to hear it. ”

Li Qingzhao also nodded.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Seed father, sister Qingzhao, the interest is always war, do you agree with this point of view." ”

The seed master said in a deep groan, "Of course, no one will fight a war without a purpose. ”

Li Qi said: "What the Gong said is right, merchants buy and sell to get what they want, and some things can only be obtained through war. Since interests are the development of war, then judging the victory or defeat of a war can also be measured by interests. Do you think so? ”

Chong and Li nodded at the same time.

Li Qi continued: "That's good, the previous seed prince said that my Great Song army is not as good as the Jin army, this is not wrong, and then Sister Qingzhao said that my Great Song army is more than ten times more than the Jin army, not so, this is not wrong, but Sister Qingzhao, have you ever thought about holding or keeping, that is not a victory, that is still being beaten passively, and the seed prince said that the strength of the Jin army is much stronger than ours, but I think this is only secondary, this can be made up, what they are really stronger than us is his war cost." ”

Seed Master Dao frowned and said, "The cost of the war? ”

"Yes, once the two countries launch a full-scale war, then it is the national strength that fights, although the national strength of the Jin country is not as good as ours, but their losses are much lower than ours." Li Qi said: "For example, our army and the Jin army invested 10,000 troops in a war, and each side killed 1,000 men and horses. ”

"Ten thousand?"

Seed Master Dao and Li Qingzhao exclaimed at the same time.

This number surprised them too much, especially the Seed Master Dao, because for him, if he really fought with Jin Guo, if he didn't lose, he would win, but Li Qi said that the draw was a loss, and the loss was so miserable, this was too exaggerated, the Seed Master said: "Why is this? ”

"That's the disparity in the cost of war." Li Qi sighed and said: "It takes at least five years for our Great Song Dynasty to train a qualified soldier, even if each person consumes ten guan money per year, five years is fifty guan, that is to say, my Great Song Dynasty needs fifty guan to train a qualified soldier, so once this soldier is sacrificed, then the loss will be at least fifty guan, and a thousand people will be fifty thousand, in addition, there are horses, grain and grass, and so on."

And the Jin country is different, the Jin country was founded not long ago, from ancient times to the present, the lowest cost of war in each dynasty, is always the early days of the founding of the country, and their military system is very different from us, they are the people are soldiers, soldiers are the people, there is no army, the subsidy is even more notable, their soldiers rely on the war to plunder property in other countries, to feed the war, and our orthodox army is completely different, so, they train a soldier to spend a full amount of money, moreover, after the Jin State occupied the Liao State, their horses, Manpower is fully supported. According to the loss of 100 people per day, although the number of people on both sides died the same, we also added the loss of 50,000 guan, which is only the cost of training soldiers, not counting the loss of horses. The war is fought to a certain point, and what we fight is national strength, but in the case of a draw, our loss is 10,000 times that of the other party. ”

The seed master was silent for a while, and said: "I really can't imagine that you are more far-reaching than the old man, the cost of war is a truth, this battle can't be fought, can't be fought!" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "If this is the case, if the Jin Kingdom starts a war, then we will not be able to make a loss." ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "Not bad." ”

"In this case, wouldn't it be very likely that they would start a war against my Great Song Dynasty?" Li Qingzhao said again.

The seed master said: "The old man originally thought so, but after the emergence of Li Qi's economic construction, the old man found a change in this view, but if he wants to go back to Yunzhou and other places, I'm afraid it's not so easy, the Jurchens won't reason with you, swallow the things in your stomach, and want them to spit it out, it's really difficult to go to the sky." ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "That's right, we have signed an alliance with the Jin State, and they shouldn't betray the alliance." ”

Li Qi said: "Sister Chonggong and Sister Qingzhao, you must not be too optimistic, the reason why the Jin people agreed to form an alliance with us is that the key lies in interests, once they feel that the war will bring them more benefits, I think they will not hesitate to start a war, as for that paper covenant, I don't know what the Jin people will think, but in my eyes it is worthless." If I send troops today to recapture Yunzhou, I will definitely not wait for dark to send troops, as for the covenant, it is just an insignificant thing, the key is to see if this covenant can bring you benefits, if not, it is a burden, should be abandoned. ”

The seed master looked at Li Qi suspiciously, and said, "When you say that, is it an allusion to the battle of Song and Jin, it is inevitable." ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned, and said secretly, it seems that I have said a little too much today. Shaking his head and said: "I don't mean that, I just want to say that as a leader or a soldier, you should remember one more sentence than the people, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous."
