"Good offices among the nations?" Han Xiaoxuan was stunned, and then thought that the current China was no longer a unification, but a nation.

The New Zhou, Western Song and Eastern Song Dynasty are the Three Kingdoms! There are also two kingdoms of Jin and Xi (the country of Xiao Sese) in the north, the three kingdoms of Western Liang, Western Liao, and Western Xia in the west, and the country of Jiaozhi in the south, oh, and maybe a Nanyang country.

This is almost catching up with five generations and ten kingdoms!

The good Song Dynasty, how did it come to the point of falling apart?

Thinking of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Xiaoxuan was so sad that he was about to shed tears, but he finally held back and remembered something again.

"There are still tens of thousands of soldiers under Zong Rulin's command, all of whom are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty......" As he spoke, Han Xiaoxuan sighed.

The Great Song Dynasty, which the righteous soldiers in Handan City were loyal to, has now been divided into two!

"As long as Zong Rulin is willing to let the city go, I can go and discuss with the head of state and let them go south to Xiangyang." Wu Haogu had actually discussed it with his son a long time ago. "The Emperor Taishang is in Xiangyang now, and he has to have a henchman to defend it!"

It doesn't make sense for Zong Ze's tens of thousands of people to be wiped out, so it's better to let them go to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji got tens of thousands of reliable armies, and he would become a force independent of the Western Song Dynasty.

Han Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, the troops in Handan City were also his troops. If you can go south with Zong Ze with Handan's soldiers and horses, you can still call for wind and rain when you arrive in Xiangyang Mansion.

No matter how bad it is, you can still ask for a piece of land to become the emperor of the soil...... The earth emperors of more than ten years are now accustomed to living on people and giving orders.

"Alright then!" Han Xiaoxuan said, "Then I'll take a trip to Handan, and I'll be able to convince Zong Rulin." ”

"Okay, then it's a deal." Wu Haogu smiled, "I'll go and tell San Lang right away, and ask him to give an order to the Military Machinery Division of the capital to stop the siege of Handan City." ”

……

When Wu Haogu and Han Xiaoxuan were drinking and chatting, his son, the little head of state, Wu Yijiu, was in the palace to meet Gao Lian, the servant of the ruling government's Ministry of Rites.

This brother of Gao Yu is now a diplomat of the Great Zhou Republic, oh no, it is an internal friend. Because he has always been in charge of exchanges with Zhuxia countries such as the Great Song Dynasty and Xiliang, it is internal relations, not diplomacy.

The diplomacy of the Great Zhou was in charge of Fan Zhiwen, another attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Gao Nei Jiaojia came today to send an envoy to Xiliang. Gao Yaokang of Lingzhou is Gao Lian's nephew, and Xiliang's Zhang Li is Gao Lian's best friend.

It was only fitting for him to send Xiliang to persuade Zhang Li to mediate the war in the Central Plains.

Moreover, most of Zhang Li also has the need to intervene in the war in the Central Plains and improve his own status.

Xiliang was still nominally a vassal of the Song Dynasty, and if the Great Song Dynasty was still unified, the status of this vassal would naturally be indisputable. The Great Song Dynasty, which had 300,000 new troops, was not at all something that the Xiliang Kingdom, which only had tens of thousands of cavalry, could deal with.

But now the situation is different, Da Song is a little bit scattered, Xiliang Zhangli will definitely start to think carefully.

"Führer, do you think Zhang Li will want to take advantage of the fire to rob and send troops to attack the Western Song Dynasty?"

In the Führer's Office, Gao Lian raised his own question, "If Zhang Li wants to send troops to attack the Western Song Dynasty, what position should my country hold?" Do you want to ally with it, or ask Xiliang to surrender? ”

Wu Yi thought for a long time and shook his head, "Can Xiliang's military strength beat that of the Western Song Dynasty?" In order to defeat the Song State, we dispatched more than 600,000 troops! How many people are there? Is there 50 thousand?

Gao Shilang, if Zhang Li really wants to do something wrong, you have to stop it as much as possible. After the completion of the retro transformation of the Western Song Dynasty, it is likely to have a strong willingness to expand...... The Eastern Song Dynasty, Western Liang, and Dali may all become the targets of the Western Song Dynasty's aggression. Therefore, it is best for Zhang Li to recognize the reality and maintain the relationship with the Western Song Dynasty as much as possible.

If you really want to fight, Zhang Li's Liangzhou Holy See is not the opponent of the Western Song Dynasty at all! ”

Wu Yijiu doesn't know much about military affairs, but there are "Zhiliang factions" in both the Military Machinery Department and the Doctor Corps, and they are still very clear about Xiliang's strength.

Xiliang, as a closed and backward religious knight country, did not keep up with the pace of the advance of the two countries of the Zhou and Song dynasties, and the military strength of the two countries also stagnated for many years - the progress of the Zhou and Song dynasties was based on the great development of the workshop handicraft industry, and there was no workshop handicraft industry in Xiliang? There is no foundation at all, how can it be developed?

Moreover, there is also a situation of layers of feudalism in Xiliang - the military citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the retro that the Western Song Dynasty is about to implement are actually not real feudalism. Because true feudalism must have layers of feudalism, rather than the state directly controlling the military citizens. The system of the Zhou State and the Western Song Dynasty was actually a variant of the military service of the Chinese people, and at the same time, a more advanced military academy was added. This military system is more inclined to modern **** than the ancient feudal system.

However, in Xiliang, which has a vast territory, inconvenient transportation, and a backward economy, it is almost impossible to establish a national system. It is difficult to maintain even military academies, at least not to establish a high-standard and large-scale military education system like the two Song and New Zhou.

And what is really suitable for Xiliang is actually layers of feudalism.

Xiliang was originally big and poor, and Zhang Li was particularly warlike, and since he came to power, he has continued to expand externally, and has also conquered the vast snowy plateau.

In terms of the area of the land under its rule, Western Liang surpassed that of the New Zhou, Western Song and Eastern Song dynasties.

However, such a large and poor country simply cannot support the corresponding bureaucratic contingent, and it is impossible to learn from the Great Zhou to build a referendum republic, nor can it learn from the Eastern Song Dynasty to build a dozen states.

So Zhang Li had to engage in a "school district system" to govern his country.

The so-called "school district system" is, of course, not a school district that attends key elementary schools or key middle schools, but really means a military district system. Because Xiliang is a country established on the basis of the indoctrination regiment, it likes to package the army and the regime as academies and palaces.

And the school district system is to package the military district into a school district. The specific method is to replace the state and county with school districts, implement the integration of military and government, and have the full authority of the bachelor, who is actually a general.

Xiliang is divided into 13 school districts, including Hexi, Yizhou, Xizhou, Shule, Khotan, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Qingtang, Qiangtang, Luo, Guge, Mage, and Chuanbian.

He also greatly expanded the number of knights of Tianli to 50,000 households - a large number of tribal warriors who were conquered by Zhangli's army also became knights after converting to Tianli.

Fifty thousand families of knights were placed in thirteen school districts, and the knights were allocated land and serfs according to their official ranks. Except for a small number of free people engaged in industry and commerce, almost all the working people of the entire Xiliang Kingdom were included in the "military region-knight" system.

However, the Holy See of Liangzhou only has sufficient control over the Hexi Military Region, and its control over the remaining 12 military regions is gradually weakening.

Therefore, although Xiliang claims to have 50,000 iron cavalry, the Liangzhou Holy See can concentrate on 20,000 cavalry for foreign expeditions.

This bit of people, even Lingzhou struggled, let alone the Western Song Dynasty.

……

Gao Lian took the mission, escorted by a team of Xiren knights, through the chaotic Datong Mansion and Shuozhou, crossed the Yellow River into the Hetao grassland, and then went to Xiliang.

The ruler of Xiliang, Tianlizi Zhangli, was getting off a ferry boat and then standing on the ferry pier outside Lingzhou City.

He came to Lingzhou to meet Gao Yaokang for the chaotic situation in the east.

Accompanying him was a full 10,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen!

However, the iron cavalry did not cross the river, and Zhang Li only crossed the Yellow River with a few guards.

"Tenriko, I'm looking forward to you!"

Gao Yaokang, who is middle-aged, looks very similar to his late father Gao Yu, both of whom are good-looking men. Standing there, half a head taller than Zhang Li, quite mighty. But look at the anxious look on his face and the tone of his voice. Obviously, he regarded Zhang Li as the backbone.

"Alas, I fought with the Jurchens, but I didn't take advantage of it, and I delayed the hour." Zhang Li just shook his head. "How's it going to the east?"

When the Great War broke out in the Central Plains, Xiliang and the Jurchen Jin Kingdom fought again for the Hetao irrigation area.

The Jin State, which had lost Aguta, could still mobilize more than 50,000 elite troops, but Zhang Li only had 20,000 people, and he couldn't defeat them at all.

However, after the victory, Wu Qimai did not chase after Zhang Li, but proposed marriage and kinship, and wanted to marry his granddaughter to Zhang Li's son, and also expressed his willingness to convert to Tianli Sect.

This is because Wu Qimai was seriously threatened by Xiao Sese, who had already led his troops into the city of Kedun, and had also obtained the allegiance of the Mughal tribes, as if he was the overlord of the grassland - not how powerful Xiao Seser was, but mainly because the camel cannon and the 4-pound cavalry cannon were too powerful. Those steppe tribes that did not complete the reform of the 10,000-household system could not bear such casualties at all.

There was a fire in the backyard, and Datong, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and other places were all captured by the Zhou army, and Dajin did not dare to fight another long-term war with Xiliang.

The system of these countries has developed to this day, and the heads of the Eastern Zhuxia countries are all internal friends, working together vertically and horizontally, pulling one faction to fight another, hugging together to get warm or something, everyone is already quite familiar with it.

"It's not good," Gao Yaokang shook his head, "A large number of people retreated to Guanzhong, they didn't eat or drink, they wanted to do retro, and they didn't have the money to enclose land." A group of young and impatient and impatient people want to come hard. ”

"Are you strong?" Zhang Li paused and asked, "How is it better than the two of us?" ”

"It's said to be better than us!" Gao Yaokang nodded, "There are more than 2,000 people in the martial arts department who have followed the official family into the customs, and during this time, there have been more people entering the customs and taking refuge. I'm afraid there are no less than 3,000 people...... But they are all military attaches who have been on the battlefield.

As for the soldiers, there are even more. There were no less than 200,000 strong men brought from Kanto. Shaanxi and Shuofang already had government soldiers who granted land, about 100,000 households, and they all supported the official family and retro.

And there is no shortage of weapons, because Shaanxi and Shuofang have always been armed farms. When Ji Yizhi was in power, he once prepared various arsenals and purchased a large number of armor and artillery for Shaanxi and Shuofang.

Now it depends on the retro of the retro party, whether it can be successfully implemented in Guanlong! If there's a big mess, here's our chance! ”
