Chapter 659: Heavenly Soldiers

If you want to choose a person who is most loyal to the Great Song Dynasty at this time, it may not be the soldiers at the border pass, not the Xianggong in the court, or even Zhao Zongjing who rides on a tall horse to show off his might, but Zhao Li!

Although he only lived in the Great Song Dynasty for a short time, Zhao Li completely converted to the Great Song Dynasty, and he regarded the Great Song Dynasty as a holy city in his mind.

When Li Shengtian led the soldiers of Khotan to fight against the Great Cannibals, he constantly preached the wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains, even if he had never been there, in order to boost morale.

In the hearts of all Khotanese people, the Central Plains is like a heavenly belonging, and it is the courage to support them to fight.

In recent decades, Khotan's military forces have withered and collapsed, and the impression of the Central Plains has become more and more ethereal.

But since setting foot in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Li found that the Great Song Dynasty is 10,000 times more perfect than he imagined!

There are benevolent princes, wise princes, loyal warriors, majestic cities, and fine food...... Everything you come into contact with is so beautiful, including the air, there is a smell of life, the shops on the street are always boiling with thick broth, and the taste of food stimulates the taste buds all the time.

There is no war, no killing, prosperity and health, this is the realm that Khotan has dreamed of for a hundred years and cannot reach.

What is even more touching is that the Great Song Dynasty did not treat Khotan as an outsider.

They gave up 5 million yuan of war reparations, just to give the Khotanese a way home, they sent the noble prince, sent handsome horses, and sent 20,000 mighty troops to meet the Khotanese people.

The sky is high and the earth is thick, the sea is wide and the mountains are high!

Zhao Li felt that even if Da Song asked him to die, he would smile at Jiuquan without the slightest complaint.

What surprised him even more was the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

He was wearing a cuirass.

The complete iron plate, light and strong, Zhao Li once poked repeatedly with a dagger, but only a faint white dot was left. The weight of the cuirass is less than one-third of that of chain mail, but its defensive ability is twice as good as that of chain mail!

So it is with the armor, and so is the saber in the hand.

This is the sharpest saber Zhao Li has ever seen, and it is three points sharper than those scimitars of big cannibals.

And then there's the Divine Arm Crossbow, which can shoot up to 200 paces away, what a perfect weapon!

When Zhao Li slept, he was also holding these three things.

In his sleep, he felt that he had flown over thousands of mountains and rivers, returned to his homeland of Khotan, and took up arms with his people.

The Great Cannibal couldn't see through his armor, and folded his war knife, Zhao Li went on a rampage, and the most powerful Great Food Samurai fell in front of him in pieces.

He immediately entered the field, like an invincible god of war...... It's so cool!

After waking up in the morning, it was rare for Zhao Li to be silent again, if forty or fifty years ago, the Great Song Dynasty could have sent men and horses to aid Khotan, maybe the ancestor Li Congde would not have died in battle, and maybe they could still hold the homeland of Khotan.

It was too late, such a powerful force could only protect the remnants of the Khotanese to withdraw to the Great Song Dynasty.

I really don't know when I will be able to return to my former homeland and pay tribute to those ancestors who died in battle...... Zhao Li didn't know that the Great Song Dynasty didn't plan to come back at all this time, they wanted to take root in the Western Regions and complete the impossible task!

Zhao Li just thought about it, and shook his head vigorously, he felt that his thoughts were demanding, it was wrong, Da Song was perfect, and he should not be blamed in any way, not even in his heart!

Zhao Li despised Liang Yibury more and more, and despised all the traitors!

Stupid fools, betraying the Great Song, you will not end well!

Even the Great Song Dynasty betrayed, and your conscience was eaten by dogs.

After death, you will go down to the eighteen layers of hell, and there will be little ghosts who cut off your tongues, pick your skins, and throw you into a pan of oil, where you will be fried until you are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and your bones are crispy and numb.

On the way to the Western Regions, Zhao Li did not miss a moment of rest, he would tell the people of Western Xia who met along the way how good the Great Song Dynasty was, and told them that as long as they took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, they would live a life of a hundred times richer, and there would be no future at all with the Western Xia......

He did it alone, maybe nothing.

But Zhao Zongjing didn't know which one to smoke, so he actually threw a lot of money along the way, purchased cattle and sheep, green salt, and felt, and returned the goods brought by the Great Song Dynasty to the people of Western Xia.

Everywhere you go to camp, the outside of the camp turns into a bustling market.

The Great Song Dynasty was generous, the price was fair, and if he took out a piece of felt, he could exchange it for a piece of silk, and all the herdsmen of Western Xia came enthusiastically, and some even chased dozens of miles, just to trade with the Great Song Dynasty.

And every transaction has become the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to promote its national prestige.

Although Liang Yibury didn't want to admit it, he had to say that those herdsmen were really tempted.

Obviously, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow has to be exploited, making the people of Western Xia miserable.

Even if the Great Song Dynasty doesn't want to pay compensation, many tribes are still leviing, and greed is endless. Unfortunately, this time the Great Song Dynasty taught the Western Xia nobles many new ways to exploit the people.

For example, in the future, taxes will be levied, and the people will not be allowed to pay in kind, but only in currency.

Then, they borrow money from the people, or buy goods at a low price, so that they can take two dishes and eat two fish, wonderful!

Liang Yibury hated it very much, and he went to Zhao Zongjing several times to theorize, asking him to restrain the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and not to bewitch the Western Xia herdsmen.

Regarding Liang Yiburi's request, Zhao Zongjing just shrugged his shoulders.

"Any child who has ever gone to school in my Song Dynasty knows that if you want to do well in the exam, you need to work your own, rather than expecting others to fall behind...... You Xixia can't keep the people, it's your governance that has a problem, the Great Song Dynasty is not wrong, the herdsmen are not wrong, you, the minister of Western Xia, you need to reflect on you! ”

It turned out that the mouth cannon practiced with Wang Ningan was very effective, at least Liang Yibury was killed by him in seconds.

Later, Liang Yiburi had to issue a strict order, not allowing the herdsmen of Western Xia to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and what materials the Song army needed, the captive army would requisition them, and then trade at an equivalent price.

Having lost the opportunity to contact herdsmen, Zhao Zongjing didn't care much, because he understood that without comparison, there would be no harm.

This time, he brought a large amount of money and rich materials, so in the exchange process, Zhao Zongjing chose to suffer, and he suffered regardless of the cost.

The generals of Western Xia all felt that the Great Song Dynasty had sent two rice buckets.

One is the king of the county, and the other is a very beautiful horse, these two goods are only worthy of being vases, and they are two hundred and five at all!

In order to extract oil from them, the generals of the captive army requisitioned materials everywhere, bought them at low prices, and even robbed the people of cattle and sheep grain, and then exchanged them with the Great Song Dynasty, and then they wore fine silks, held beautiful jewelry, and grinned, like thieves who stole oil.

Liang Yibury saw everything in his eyes, and he was so angry that he screamed.

The actions of the captive army are 10,000 times better than directly buying people's hearts! After they got it, many people who couldn't survive simply fled to Qingtang, where there were also people and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as there were Song soldiers, it was heaven!

Liang Yi had no choice but to use military rations to meet the needs of the Song army, and at the same time strictly forbade any trade, even if it was a captive army!

As a result, a large number of generals buried Liang Yi to Li Liangzuo, slandered him to the extreme, and buried Liang Yi as no one or a ghost...... If it weren't for his sister-in-law's blowing pillow wind every day, Liang Yibu might have been drowned in saliva.

"What a despicable and shameless Great Song, you wait! This time, you will have no return! ”

Liang Yibury felt that Da Song was a complete fool, and he was incorrigible.

galloped thousands of miles, just for a few remnants of Khotan, isn't it a bad brain?

Do you think that by passing through the way, you will be able to bring people back?

That's a dream!

Liang Yibury has already discussed it with Li Liangzuo, and the monarch and ministers have set up a poison plan.

Da Song held the Iron Harrier prisoner in his hand and promised to release him in months.

Therefore, Western Xia did not dare to do anything directly against Zhao Zongjing's people.

But others can!

As long as you go out of the Hexi Corridor and go to the Western Desert, the Uighurs in Xizhou and the Qarakhanid will all become powerful ghosts seeking their lives. You don't need Xixia to do it, as long as the back road is cut off.

Make a little trouble, ventilate the news, and these 20,000 people will never want to return to the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhao Zhen, your nephew is in the army, Di Qing, your son is also in the army, and Wang Ning'an, your cousin is also in the army!

Die, they're all going to die!

What can you do then?

Liang Yi was buried in his military tent, making a ruggy sound, like a night owl possessing his body.

……

"I said little prince, have you noticed it, Liang Yi buried that guy's eyes, he almost wanted to eat you!" Wang Ningxuan said with a smile.

Zhao Zongjing gnawed on the roast pigeon and said loudly: "If a beautiful woman wants to eat me, this king is willing to sacrifice his life to save people, as for Liang Yiburied, it is a shame to look at him more!" ”

"I don't think that guy is well-intentioned, he must be thinking about how to kill us."

"It's normal." Zhao Zongjing tore off the meat of the pigeon's chest, swallowed it in a big gulp, and then wiped the oil on the side of his mouth.

"Isn't your brother also planning to destroy the Xixia Kingdom every day?"

"How can you compare my brother to that traitor?" Wang Ningxuan said dissatisfied.

"I mean, if he doesn't count us, then it's not normal!" Zhao Zongjing said indifferently: "On the journey, we said goodbye to the good people, and from then on, we lived in lies and deception, and all we could believe was the knife in our hands and the brothers around us." Fraud, incorruptibility, conspiracy, intrigues, intrigue...... These will be our best partners, we can't leave for a moment, we must use the worst malice to speculate on everyone, speculate on every sentence, think of people a little badly, and suffer a little less......"

Zhao Zongjing held his hands, shook his head in a voice full of pity, and said.

"Next time, remember, don't repeat my brother's admonition!"

Wang Ning grabbed two pigeons and ran out of the tent.

The fierce wind blew in the face, and unlike the Central Plains, the wind was wrapped in gravel and blew on the face, like a small knife. Wang Ningxuan hurriedly blocked the wind and sand with his body, protected the pigeons, and ran to his tent.

This is the Western Regions!

Yesterday they left Guazhou, and if they walked for another day, they could reach Shazhou, and out of Shazhou, it was Khotan's hometown!

The remnants of Khotan, the heavenly soldiers have arrived, where are you?
