When Zhao Xin was heading towards Bianliang, in the northwest, Liao Xingzong was also preparing to leave, and at a huge price, the transaction had not been completely completed in the end, but the things had been mobilized, and his order had been issued, with the wealth of the Liao State, coupled with the authority of the Liao Lord, it would not be a problem to achieve this one at all, he was actually waiting for those more beautiful silks.

Winter has come, marching in the winter is a very dangerous thing, for a year, at least half a year, as far as Liao Xingzong is concerned, where to spend the winter, it doesn't matter at all.

Here, there are beauties and wealth from the Western Xia, as well as silk and various treasures from the Great Song Dynasty, which can also be regarded as an alternative choice.

But now, he had to go back, the reason is very simple, at present, a major event has happened in Liao, an earth-shattering event.

Although the Liao State is the foundation of the nomadic people, it does not have an extremely strict organizational structure like the Northern Song Dynasty, and the abnormality can be found at the first time, but since Yuan Hao entered the grassland and began to act against the Dangxiang clan and the Khitan tribe, it has been at least 100 days or more, and even the Northern Song Dynasty has received the news that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and with the passage of time, you can always get some information.

In fact, the reason for discovering this matter is still in the Dangxiang clan, and the Dangxiang clan was taken into custody because of the Liaoxia War, but they were only forbidden to do their activities at will, and some of the taxes they paid were still quite a lot.

According to the regulations, the Dangxiang clan needs to send 50,000 cattle, 3,000 horses and 100,000 sheep to the North Courtyard.

The Liao State maintained the original tradition, and was not particularly interested in the Spring Festival, but it was influenced by the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was still the time for various taxes to be handed over near the New Year's Festival.

It's normal for the party to be late, and no one notices it for a few days, but for dozens of days, it's worth noting.

For this reason, the North Court sent at least 3 waves of investigators, the first and second waves were all cleaned up by Yuan Hao, and the North Court didn't know what was going on, but the third wave entered the party settlement area from another direction, but what he saw was an empty mess.

Hundreds of thousands of party clans have disappeared like this, which is also a bit too terrible, perhaps, in the Liao State, these party clans are the lowest level, and even the objects of care, but these people are gone, which is also a blow to the Liao State.

The party clan is hundreds of thousands, but it has excellent combat effectiveness, and the connection with Western Xia is also greater, is it not Yuan Hao's ghost.

In fact, it was quickly determined that it was Yuan Hao's ghost, not only these party tribes, but also these tribes in the western part of the Liao State were attacked by Yuan Hao.

For the Liao State, the appearance of this nomadic tribe can be said to be based on these big tribes, and a considerable part of these armies around him are extracted from these tribes.

Because a large number of personnel were transferred to participate in the army, these tribes had some defensive weaknesses, but these weaknesses were not important in the eyes of Liao.

In the eyes of the Liao State, the Northern Song Dynasty did not dare to make a move, the Western Xia had already perished, and there were some problems, but there were just problems.

But no one would have thought that Yuan Hao would be so bold, with a few thousand cavalry, he rushed into the Liao State, and directly grasped the weakness, they did not touch the big tribes with eggs and stones, some large-scale tribes, and Yuan Hao's thousands of cavalry could not fight against them.

They first found the Dangxiang clan of the same race, and under the killing and coercion and temptation, Yuan Hao obtained enough cavalry in the Dangxiang tribe, oppressed the Dangxiang clan with interests and killing, and then gathered all the prime people together, forming a snowball force, and then began to kill and kill.

In just 2 months, he has defeated a total of 127 large tribes, more than 800 small and medium-sized tribes, involving up to 4 million people.

You must know that the entire Liao State is only more than 10 million people, which is equivalent to saying that 30% of the strength was killed in this killing, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people of the Dangxiang clan, almost more than 40% of the population loss, which has a huge impact on the Liao State.

Even if the high-level of the Liao State no longer understands the role of the population base for a country, so many tribes, the loss of these population and livestock, which means that one-third of the financial income no longer exists, for the Liao State, which is already getting colder and colder in the north, the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, no less than worse.

Perhaps, the Liao State gained a lot in the Western Xia in this battle to destroy the Xia, but most of it, the main livestock and materials, were exchanged for the property of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was thought to be the icing on the cake, but in the face of such a man-made disaster, it was really irreparable.

The North Courtyard didn't dare to specialize in this matter at all, of course, although Liao Xingzong brought 100,000 troops to Western Xia, but in the territory of Liao, there were still a large number of main troops, and the North Courtyard began to transfer troops and began to besiege Yuan Hao to prevent Yuan Hao's power from continuing to spread, while flying to report to the Liao Lord.

Itself, in Xingqing Mansion, the Liao lord, who is living a good life, enjoys the beauties of Western Xia, admires the property from the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the tall city wall of Xingqing Mansion also blocks the cold air in the north, and there is a feeling of being happy.

But this emergency military report, at this moment, even the Liao lord couldn't sit still and began to return, and he couldn't even take care of those silks.

This news has been tightly sealed, Yuan Hao's mentality is different from that of Liao, he just enjoys his terror to show his strength, in order to attract more grassland tribes and attach them to his account, in this case, Yuan Hao, who has no choice, can think of the best way.

Now, the strength under Yuan Hao's command has been further expanded, the Khitan tribe, this is no longer necessary, but the Liao State is not only a Khitan race, in addition to the party, there are many other races, these races are separated from each other, some are more distant, plus Yuan Hao's direct threat, they actually joined Yuan Hao's command.

Up to now, the cavalry under the command of Yuan Hao has reached 45,000, which cannot be compared with the cavalry of Western Xia, but it is also a huge force, and no matter how big the tribe is, it can't stop his edge, especially after encountering the investigation team of the North Courtyard, he already knows that he can't hide it, and begins to attack the cities of Liao.

The cavalry's ability to attack fortifications is not strong, but most of the cities on the grassland are just earthen forts, and even horse bandits can rush up, not to mention Yuan Hao's cavalry, the entire grassland is immediately full of smoke.

At this moment, the entire grassland has become lively, the army of the Liao State, the cavalry of Yuan Hao, and some people who fish in troubled waters, the kind of feud, almost every day are endless.

Liao Xingzong goes back, it will take a considerable amount of time, but this loss has been done, and this loss will be aggravated in the future, and even after Liao Xingzong goes back, it will take time to destroy Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao's subordinates, that is in the crazy killing, the people who have been cultivated, these people still have a certain combat effectiveness.

No matter what the future holds, under the current premise, the two countries have been weakened, the Western Xia was broken, Xingqing Fu was occupied, a large number of livestock were lost, and there were almost seventy or eighty percent of the population, only Suzhou was left as a source land, but in the Liao State, Yuan Hao obtained about 800,000 Dangxiang clans, and some other ethnic dependence, and the strength was further improved.

At the same time, in the hatred of the Liao State, Yuan Hao chose to use the method of trial to kill all those who were not attached to him, just the killings directly caused by his command were as high as more than one million, so the collateral losses were even more, these people would never survive, it was a direct net loss.

The terrible killing spread across the grassland, and in this case, the inadequacy of such a political system as the Liao State was revealed.

The political system of the nomadic people, if it sounds good, it is the chief system, but if it is not good, it is a large collection of tribes, and the control of the Liao lord over the following is only limited to his strength, and these ethnic groups are only based on the Liao state, not the government of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is controlled by centralized power from top to bottom.

For the Liao State, even if it was to suppress the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty, but the fire in his own backyard broke out, first the Jin State rebelled, and the Jurchen State finally replaced the Liao State, and the Jin State that replaced the Liao State did not take long for it to be replaced by the Mongols, and the northern peoples from generation to generation replaced the empire in the south, this is fate.

A strong tribe can't always suppress the situation, even if it is Mongolia, sweeping the Quartet, in the end, his result is not good, guess a hundred years later, he was finally expelled by the Ming Dynasty.

The Central Dynasty, the reason why it became the Central Dynasty, there are some inherent things, such as a strong central government, a reasonable and prudent system, and a focus on agriculture.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the crazy enclosure turned the rich Central Plains into a pasture, which seems to be very strong, but in fact, the plot ratio that the pasture can withstand is far from being as large as farming.

This is also the fundamental reason for the vast and sparsely populated grassland, the constantly cultivated farmland, and the centralized state, can bear the consequences of the population explosion, the Yuan Dynasty is not at all, although the Yuan Dynasty's population growth population is very slow, compared with other feudal dynasties, much worse.

But in the era of Chengping, the population will still multiply in large numbers, which is the mainstream, when the food can not support the food of the entire dynasty, the final result is natural, of course, the brutality of the Yuan Dynasty is also one of the very important directions, the Han people are oppressed, and there are also ideas of resistance.

Food is a huge problem, and it directly determines the stability of a dynasty, a stable, lightly taxed and lightly taxed dynasty, a stable natural political situation, and a dynasty that relies on oppression and goes against the trend, can be easily overthrown.

In the same battle situation, if it is replaced by the Northern Song Dynasty, as early as the beginning of Yuan Hao's Koubian, it will be noticed that while using the army at the border pass to delay Yuan Hao's footsteps, then he has to transfer troops to encircle and suppress.

Perhaps, Yuan Hao was able to cause damage to the Northern Song Dynasty by surprise in the weak links, but with the help of the gradual development of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is simply impossible to include all the party members in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At the beginning, Yuan Hao only had a few people, more than 10,000 cavalry, and he was still the kind of semi-civilian soldiers, but now, almost five or six months have passed, and what strength does Yuan Hao have.

At least 45,000 elite cavalry, as well as an army of almost 120,000, suddenly had nearly 200,000 personnel, as well as a large number of people, livestock and resources.

It can be said unceremoniously that Yuan Hao's approach directly hit the weakness of the Liao State, and the strength of the Liao State is not the country, but the army, and the foundation of the army is the people.

The Liao State was severely weakened, losing almost 40% of its population, but the Western Xia was almost on the verge of extinction, and he suffered even more losses.

The population of Western Xia is far inferior to that of Liao, and even less than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a population of more than 1 million in Bianliang, which is already one-third of that of Liao, and the population of Gyeonggi far exceeds the total population of Liao.

When the Western Xia won the victory, the total population was almost more than 3 million, and 1 million were directly killed by the Liao State, and nearly 400,000 were captured by the Northern Song Dynasty and 200,000 were sent.

What Yuan Hao did in Liao was also more than that, not to mention the Dangxiang people, who were taken away close to 1.5 million, it is said that after raising the butcher knife, they were killed for almost 5 months.

Even if the grassland is infinitely vast and the land is vast and sparsely populated, under the crazy killing after 5 months of not collecting the knife, the final data is very amazing, 2.5 million, that is,

Yuan Hao imposed on him what the Liao State imposed on him, and returned it to the Liao State, and the total loss of the two was 4 million, which was a break for the Liao State, which was only 9.1 million.

The Liao State and the Western Xia have not yet realized the huge role of people in this, the elite army of the Liao State, as well as the high-level strength, there is no loss, but what really creates wealth for a country is probably these people at the bottom, their losses directly affect the future income, and even for the next few decades, it has a huge impact.

A duel between the two great powers of the north is about to start, this may be a continuation of the previous battle of Liaoxia, crazy Yuan Hao, did not consider the consequences at all, if he is a genius who is proficient in guerrilla warfare, he will definitely seize the weakness of the Liao country, and after eating the benefits, he will immediately retreat.

As long as he arrives in Suzhou, even if Liao Xingzong wants to retaliate, he still needs to go thousands of miles west in Xingqing Mansion, which is a terrible burden for any army, even if it is Liao, it will take a long time to prepare.

But Yuan Hao didn't know that he was still staying on the grassland, and a battle between the two male lords was inevitable.

This is the best result for the Northern Song Dynasty, no matter who wins or loses this battle, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is a great weakening of the strength of both of them, for later, the Northern Song Dynasty is very important to occupy the northern part of East Asia.
