Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze were puzzled when they heard this, why did Du Jia have to emphasize that it was only signed for three years with such good conditions? And what does he want so many horses to do without money? Cavalry is stronger than infantry, but the consumption is also large, an ordinary cavalry can support four or five infantry, high-level such as chain horses are doubled, but in battle, there can be such a big gap.

Although they don't understand the truth, but Li Qianshun, who is also the king of a country, understands, in the grassland and the hinterland, the cavalry's action is unmatched by the infantry, it is true that a cavalry can never beat ten infantry in the front, but in the grassland is not so calculated, the strength of the infantry is to defend or defend the city, but the cavalry wins in mobility, the front is hard but I will fight guerrilla or sneak attacks, you can't keep every place impregnable, even if you can, it can't go on forever, right? The price to pay was too great, which is why every time the nomads crossed the Great Wall and the border, they caused great damage, because the Han lacked sufficient quantity and quality of cavalry.

Li Qianshun naturally understood this truth, so he was more vigilant against Du Jia and the Tang Army, in his opinion, the Tang Army was too dangerous and had great plans.

In particular, Du Jia was only willing to sign a three-year treaty with them, which meant that after three years, there was no guarantee that he would not use troops against Western Xia, which was really a dangerous neighbor.

In an instant, Li Qianshun suddenly realized the mood of his old rivals, the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and they probably felt the same way about themselves over the years-they couldn't get used to it and couldn't get rid of it, they were really helpless.

In the end, he was helpless, so he could only pinch his nose and sign the peace agreement with the Tang State, and their Western Xia exchanged three thousand years of war horses for three years of peace every year, as for what happened after that, it can only be said at that time.

Seeing that after Li Qianshun signed this shameful unequal treaty, all the soldiers of Western Xia felt gloomy, but they were helpless, Li Qianshun secretly decided that he must work harder in the past few years, and today's shame must be brought back in the future.

After signing the agreement, the two sides said goodbye, Li Qianshun looked at Du Jia and said lightly: "King Tang, today's matter has been written down, and we will recalculate our account three years later, and at that time, our Western Xia will definitely be different from what it used to be, you just wait and see." ”

His voice was not loud but extremely deep, and there was a faint sound of Jin Tie frustration between his voices, showing the anger and despair in his heart.

How did Du Jia not understand the other party's thoughts, and wanted to be ashamed in three years, but he just smiled calmly and said: "Brother Li is ambitious, this king admires, I hope that your country will not waste these three years, and can at least double the population of the territory, so that he is barely qualified to be my Datang's opponent."

To tell the truth, our Tang State has only been founded for a year, and after three years, our strength will be at least tripled, and when the time comes, the invincible world must be very lonely, I hope Brother Li will not let this king down, hehehe. ”

Li Qianshun's face changed suddenly, and Du Jia broke through the biggest weakness of their Western Xia with a word, that is, the territory is too small, although the national strength may not necessarily be related to the size of the territory, just like a weak man may not be able to beat a strong boy, the previous Great Song Dynasty is an example.

But if both sides are working hard to develop and grow, in other words, they are both healthy and strong people, then the difference in body size is crucial, and the potential of the Western Xia Kingdom can be predicted even if it is dug again, but the Tang Kingdom is not!

Li Qianshun suddenly had a kind of realization, this Song Dynasty is far from the Tang Dynasty in every aspect, will there be a Great Song Dynasty in the next three years? If the Tang State occupies the position of the Great Song Dynasty, then today's arrogant words will completely become a joke, with the weakness of the Song Dynasty, they can't swallow it, so if it is replaced by the Tang State with such a population and such a vast territory, it is you who is worried about being swallowed up.

Thinking of this, Li Qianshun was suddenly in a bad mood, and he didn't care about competing with Du Jia for momentum, so he hurriedly saluted and then took people away, of course, he didn't forget to send his subordinates to leave three thousand war horses, at this time he didn't care about the distressed war horses, and just prayed in his heart that the former opponent of the Great Song Dynasty could be tenacious and brave, at least to hold on for a few more years under the Tang Dynasty, and in the past, he was hoping that the Song Dynasty would be as weak as possible, which shows that the interests of the countries are paramount, and there has never been an eternal friend or an eternal enemy.

Seeing that the 200,000 Western Xia army went with Li Qianshun's mighty and mighty, the soldiers of the Song army such as Zong Ze and Zong Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and this turmoil has finally passed, and no price has been paid.

It stands to reason that this is already a rare happy event, but neither of them is happy, they have seen the previous situation, and the various grievances of Xixia in front of the Tang Dynasty are extremely cordial, and this is undoubtedly a silent insult to the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't help but think that if Huizong is here, what kind of face will it be?

Thinking of this, the two of them sighed at each other, Zong Ze came to Du Jia and sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang really breathed a sigh of relief for my Han people, and the old man also felt honored next to him, but the old man still has something to say, why does His Royal Highness not want the money and goods of Western Xia but the horses?" That's a lot of horses. ”

Du Jia sighed: "Old general, come and see, this Yongzhou fertile land is thousands of miles, and the Hetao is even more vast, only the cavalry can give full play to its strength here, in addition, there are Liao Kingdom in the north and the northeast and other places, all of which are occupied by foreign races, why can't my Han people go?" Therefore, it is imperative to prepare an army of iron cavalry, the more war horses the better for me, 3,000 horses is nothing, 30,000 horses are not enough! ”

Zong Ze listened to it with a surging heart, as a general of the Great Song Dynasty, he had been kneeling for too long, either by the Western Xia or by the Liao State, and even those Nanyue Dali came to bully the two of them from time to time, so Zong Ze's dream is when they will be able to hold their territory without being harassed, thank God, and counterattack against these alien races? There is no such thing as a non-existent one.

But he could hear that Du Jia's words were from the bottom of his heart, so he sighed: "King Tang is ambitious, the old man is really admired, there is the Tang Dynasty to guard the land for the imperial court, we can sit back and relax, Your Majesty must be very happy when he hears this, it is really a blessing for the country to have such a loyal minister and a good general as His Royal Highness, hehehehe." ”

Du Jia glanced at Zong Ze with a smile and said: "The old general is really loyal to the imperial court, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, okay, the Western Xia army has retreated, and the agreement between our Tang State and the Great Song Dynasty has been successfully completed, and we will have successfully retired, and the rest of the things will be the old man of Lao Zong and the small seed of the scriptures." ”

If you kneel for too long, sometimes you can't stand up
