"Da Lang, why are you hacked like this?" Looking at Li Rusong, who was tanned like black charcoal, Li Buqi couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The corners of Li Rusong's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he said in his heart: Mom said that Dad, when you chased her, it was as black as a briquette, and you were embarrassed to say me?

Li Buqi didn't wait for Li Rusong to answer, so he continued: "After more than a year of training, I look more calm, which is very good." Erlang didn't cause trouble when he arrived in Lushun, right? ”

Li Rusong said with a smile: "Erlang is just jumping out at home, and he still knows the severity when he goes out." It's just that he always shouts to go to the front line, but with Uncle Tao in charge, he can only honestly familiarize himself with the operation of money and grain and the operation of the affairs of the domain. ”

Li Buqi nodded and asked: "Tao Lin wants to capture Ningzhou this year, do you think the situation in Lushun can support him to seize such a large piece of territory?" ”

Li Rusong said solemnly: "I thought it should be possible." The Liao army suffered several defeats in the Liaodong Peninsula, and the upper and lower levels were terrified, not to mention that the Jurchen and Bohai servant armies convened by the Liao State always collapsed at the touch of a button when they fought with the Andong Protectorate, even the regular army of the Liao State was also cowering when fighting, and many surrendered when they saw that they could not fight. Uncle Tao used his father's policy of treating prisoners well, and those Liao troops had no heart to fight to the death. Last year, the Liao army was ambushed between Chenzhou and Ningzhou, and the defenders of Ningzhou did not dare to take the opportunity to go out of the city to attack our army, which made our army win easily. Before I came back, I found out that the Liao people were digging and garrisoning in Chenzhou, and it seemed that they had the intention of abandoning the Liaodong Peninsula. ”

Li Buqi asked: "Do you think it is possible for the Liao people to give up the Liaodong Peninsula?" ”

Li Rusong said without thinking about it: "I have discussed this matter with Uncle Tao and them several times, and I think there is such a possibility. The terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula is not conducive to the galloping of cavalry, but it is conducive to us to carry out the power of firearms, and it is also convenient for the army to copy the rear route of the Liao army. The Liao people fought against me there, and they suffered a great loss, but they raised troops year after year, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and now the tax burden of the Liao State is extremely heavy, and the people can no longer afford it, so there are many people who have fled. The Liaodong Peninsula is mountainous and forested, and there was not much production in the past, so it was not an important area for the Liao State. Moreover, the Liao probably thought that as long as the exit of the peninsula was sealed, we would not be able to touch the land in its heartland. Therefore, the captured generals of the Liao State also thought that it was not worth spending so much money and food on the Liao State for this place. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that the Liao State wants to abandon the Liaodong Peninsula. ”

"Makes sense. In that case, what do you think the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate should do next? "Li does not give up the school examination.

Li Rusong said: "I thought it was better to be steady. Now the child understands what his father said at the beginning, there is no one, there is not enough productivity, and too much territory is a disaster. Today, the primary task of the Andong Protectorate is still to increase the population, especially the Song people, develop production, and the military action against the Liao State should be mainly preventive strikes, just like Li Yuanhao did against the Great Song Dynasty. Li Yuanhao's purpose was to force the Great Song Dynasty to canonize him and open up the mutual market, but he also had the intention of demonstrating to those wavering border tribes, and now it seems that the effect is very good. If the Duhufu can continue to defeat the Liao army, it does not need to be large, and those Liaodong tribes in the mountains are lonely and unheard, and when they see that the Liao army is not an opponent of the Andong Duhufu, they will gradually distrust the strength of the Liao State and approach the Duhufu. ”

Li Buqi said: "Yes, if we can have this kind of patience, Liaodong will be ours in the future." This time you go to Shaanxi, and I hope to maintain such patience. ”

Li Rusong asked: "Why does Daddy want me to go to Shaanxi?" Wouldn't it be nice for me to stay in Liaodong? ”

Li Buqi said: "Because Shaanxi will be the key to how the situation evolves next." My goal is too big, you go to Shaanxi to hide in the name of running your family's industry. ”

Li Rusong asked: "Is it because the official family wants to attack the Liao State?" ”

Li Buqi said: "Yes, now people like Fu Bi who still have some vision have been kicked out of Bianliang, and those fools in the court think that as long as they have one or two powerful weapons, they can dominate the world, and they are anxious to beat the Liao State down to realize their wisdom and martial arts." In the past, they talked every day that 'the safety of the country is in danger, Germany is not in danger' and everything else is a lie. I only hope that they will not lose too badly, and bury the savings of the Great Song Dynasty in vain. If they were defeated miserably, the Western Army in Shaanxi would be the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Rusong was silent for a long time before he said: "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has placed some meritorious ministers, among whom there are many who do not learn and have no skills, if there is a big defeat in the Liao State, I am afraid that the situation will be ten times more critical than when Taizong defeated Liao." Is there really nothing Daddy can do to stop this from happening? ”

After speaking, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Fu'an Bank, Fu'an Dart Bureau, and the Royal Test Ground and so many industries are gone, my son is not distressed about the money, but Daddy's hard work for so many years has been wasted, and irrelevant people are distressed, why is Daddy indifferent?" ”

Li Buqi said calmly: "I won't make a move, because my opponent is very strong, and if I want to guarantee the victory, it will be a revolution in a landslide." And because of my move, many people will think that this is just a battle for power by the powerful ministers, and the fact that it is a struggle between the progressive forces and the conservative forces will make this victory incomplete. This is a struggle that will change the Great Song Dynasty, and the struggle will have to pay a price. Fu'an Bank and the industries that disappeared were all the price to pay for victory, and now it seems that it is worth the money. Do you know how many people have been affected by these industries? It turns out that when these industries are there, everyone takes them for granted, and only after they disappear will they really appreciate their benefits, and naturally they will be dissatisfied with the people who destroyed these industries. But for two or three years, those who thought they had a plan didn't know how many people they had pushed to my side. Just like they suppressed the practical school and the Qingyuan Academy, suppressed the students of the Wubei Academy, suppressed the merchants, and suppressed as much force as there was, as long as there was a suitable time, these rebellions would break out, and it is estimated that this day is not far off. ”

Li Rusong glanced at Ouchi's direction: "Daddy is talking about the official family......"

Li Buqi smiled and said, "Don't guess. ”

Don't guess if you say yes, but as Li Buqi's son, Li Rusong still doesn't understand that his father is referring to today's official family.

After Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for two years, and the pressure was great, and he had to be fortunate with one or two women every night, and now it is said that his body bones are getting worse and worse. Zhao Shu also felt that his life was short, and he often sighed in the mirror.

Now that he understands that he is running out of time, if he wants to leave a merit in the history books, if he wants to show that he is stronger than his eldest brother, he must do it as soon as possible. The easiest way to increase your reputation is to start a war and win it. But once the war is defeated, then Zhao Shu's last fig leaf will be stripped off, and someone will not let go of this opportunity.

Zhao Shu didn't let Li Buqi wait too long. In the autumn of the third year of Zhiping, Han Qi went to the book and asked to discuss the crusade against Liao.

Speaking of which, Han Qi is not having a good time now. The so-called Li Lingzhi fainted, in order to raise the banner of opposing the "physical school" and sit firmly in the position of prime minister, he forcibly pushed a weak chicken emperor to the throne, but now the emperor is about to hang, and he will soon face the situation of establishing a new monarch. But now there is an embarrassing situation, Zhao Zhen only has three sons, the third is not yet ten years old, and he is also frail and sickly, if it is in the normal order of succession, it should be Zhao Sheng ascending the throne. Doesn't this mean that Han Qi and they are working in vain! After such a toss, Han Qi and the others also offended Zhao Sheng and Li Buqi to death, which was simply digging their own graves.

Therefore, for Han Qi and others, as soon as Zhao Shu dies, he will not be able to establish Zhao Sheng as a new monarch. But if Zhao Sheng is not established, who will be established? If you set up a poor body, or a distant relative, it must be recognized by the world. The "practical school" that has been suppressed will definitely oppose it, and if he has a higher prestige as prime minister at this time, he may be able to pass peacefully, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable.

But when it comes to prestige? Perhaps he has a lot of prestige among the scholars and doctors who are now known as the "literati party", but among the people, he is a joke that he does not give up on Li Buren. The people all know that Han Qiwen is not a martial artist, he will only fiddle with conspiracies, and if he is driven by the "practical school", he will really not be able to make trouble. Therefore, in order to save some prestige to deal with the future crisis, Han Qi also had to fight a battle with Liao, and now that he has firearms, he really doesn't believe that he can't win.
