What is the first south and then the north, what does this first south and then north mean, you can say it, Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Xu to explain what this first south and then north mean. （）

"What I mean by south first and then north refers to the south and north in the region, and I think we should start to unify from south to north."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin knew what was going on, and at the same time a smile appeared on his face, which was exactly what he thought in his heart.

Because he had already set such a strategy in his heart, it was also decided after many discussions in the south and then the north.

Now the result of what his son said and they discussed together is the same, which makes Zhao Kuangyin very pleased.

What else can I say about having a son like this, except for being relieved and proud, Zhao Kuangyin is still complacent.

"Oh, it turns out that it's such a first south and then north, so let's talk about your reasons for first south and then north." Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of expectation.

"According to what you mean, it's to attack the Northern Han first, right, and this problem comes?"

Zhao Kuangyin frowned:

"What's the problem with attacking the Northern Han Dynasty, the Northern Han Kingdom is definitely not my opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not our opponent at all, can you still stir up any storms?"

Lao Zhao doesn't know if this sentence is a temptation or really has doubts, so I don't know at all.

But what he said is also very right, the Northern Han Dynasty lives in the northern corner, the land is narrow and the country is weak, and there is no place comparable to the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty really wanted to attack this small Northern Han, the Northern Han really didn't have any power to parry.

Zhao Xu admitted that Zhao Kuangyin's analysis was also correct, although this is the case, but the current situation cannot do this.

According to normal thinking, when everyone fights, they are looking for the weakest opponent, which is also human nature.

The war of annihilation between the two countries is like a fight between two people, the strong one always takes advantage, and the weak one suffers.

This point is the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is strong and the Northern Han Dynasty is weak, even if the two fight, the Great Song Dynasty will win.

"Father, you are very right, how can the Northern Han Dynasty be our opponent, I believe that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are obvious to all, but I still do not approve of attacking the Northern Han first."

Zhao Xu said categorically.

"Why not?"

Zhao Kuangyin is also full of question marks here, boy, since you have said that it makes sense, why don't you agree.

Aren't you contradicting yourself, you said that the Northern Han is not our opponent, and you still don't agree, you have to tell me that you are ugly.

Zhao Xu saw that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be stepped on by the tail and jumped up, but he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh:

"Don't worry, you listen to me slowly explain the reason to you, you sit down first." Sit down Zhao Kuangyin'an, and Zhao Xuyou continued to speak.

His reason is really simple, that is, to ensure that he can deal with a certain country wholeheartedly, and other forces will not get involved.

Why can't you attack the Northern Han first? That's because the Northern Han Dynasty still has its own usefulness, the role of a cannon fodder.

Everyone knows that the Northern Han Dynasty has a backstage boss, that is, the Khitan, with the Khitan as the backup, the Northern Han still has a little strength.

Although the two countries are using each other, will the Khitan sit back and watch the Great Song Dynasty destroy the Northern Han? The answer is obvious.

The Khitan kept the Northern Han to block the Great Song Dynasty, so that they did not directly conflict with the Great Song Dynasty, and let the Northern Han act as a pawn.

Otherwise, your Northern Han is so close to the Khitan, and you are in the hinterland of the Khitan, and the Khitan doesn't want to fix you like this.

Keeping you now, that means that you still have the value of use, otherwise you would have been killed a long time ago, where is there any need for this.

Therefore, it is harmful and unprofitable for the Great Song Dynasty to attack the Khitan, and it is safe to say that it is easy to destroy the Northern Han, but after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty alone bears the strong pressure of the Khitan and directly faces the Khitan.

"That's why I said that it would be better to save the Northern Han first, thinking that it would block the shield of the Khitan, concentrate on destroying the southern countries, and then concentrate on dealing with the north. In this way, the pace of unifying the world will be much easier. ”

After Zhao Xu finished the last sentence, he sat down and slowly tasted the liquor from himself.

He also felt funny, he didn't expect that one day he would have to pay for the sake he brewed.

What Zhao Xu said just now was not untargeted, Zhao Pu in history said this sentence, and the effect was that Zhao Kuangyin finally determined the strategic policy of "first south and then north" and "first easy and then difficult".

And this incident is also the famous "Snow Night Decision" in history, which laid the unified national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that he has said it himself, he believes that this cheap daddy will definitely agree.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin's reaction here was very intense:

"Hahaha, well, worthy of being my good son, the strategy we discussed for a long time didn't expect to be solved by you in a few words, and there is a successor to the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin praised from the bottom of his heart, he was really happy about this, this Zhao Xu said that they had discussed before going south and then north.

This Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi, Miao Xun and the important ministers of the court have all discussed, and today Zhao Xu said the same thing, he was happy.

Under Zhao Xu's puzzled gaze, Zhao Kuangyin handed him a piece of music, which was written exactly what Zhao Xu had just said, and some of them were more detailed than what Zhao Xu said.

"Eh, Father, I'm a class with an axe, it turns out that you all know, why do you want me to say, isn't this a joke to see me?"

I feel that I am an uncertain prophet, but I was put on a position by my father, where to reason.

"Alas, you can't say that, you are the crown prince of my Great Song Dynasty, naturally you have to have your own opinion on everything, and you can't always rely on these ministers, otherwise wouldn't it be a useless monarch;."

Whether it is right or wrong, you must always have your own opinions, you must have your own backbone, and you can't always rely on others.

You must know that even if the Buddha and Bodhisattva we bow down and worship are sometimes still worshiping ourselves, that is, we have to rely on ourselves.

If you don't even have your own opinions, how can you be the king of a country in the future, this is a thought that Zhao Kuangyin conveyed to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu couldn't stop nodding, he didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin thought like this, and thought that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to test himself?

To his surprise, Zhao Kuangyin also tested him, but it was not the point, the point was to have the ability to think independently.

"Eun, I'll keep that in mind, and I want to say that there are other reasons why I agree with this strategy of going south and then north."

Zhao Kuangyin heard that his son had other reasons, and couldn't help but become interested, the test on him just now was over, and he wanted to hear what else he thought.

"Oh, you have other reasons, and I'm interested in that, so tell me about it."

"I think so, the reason not to attack the Northern Han first is already sufficient, and now I will talk about why I want to take the south first."

First, there is no Khitan interference in the south, and we can go all out to deal with them, which is relatively easy.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the south is rich in products, which can provide me with a lot of grain and grass and so on.

As long as we conquer the south, we will not be able to claim those rich goods, so that we will have no worries.

Southerners all claim that they are the land of fish and rice, which shows that their wealth is not ordinary, and their own people think so, not to mention other people.

The south is relatively safe, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the north, so it is relatively easy, and your own side can also reduce some losses.

"I say so much to treat the south as a granary, as for the rest are secondary, as long as these places are attached to Wanghua, we have sufficient logistical reserves, and it will not be easy to conquer the world at that time?"

Zhao Kuangyin fell into contemplation again, what Zhao Xu said is very correct, the south is indeed a good source of logistics.

Why did Zhou Shizong seize the fourteen states of Jiangbei in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the first place, not just because these places were close to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What's more important is that these places are rich, which is exactly what the Great Zhou needs, so Chai Rong spared no effort to take these places at any cost.

"Eun, you're right, I know this, you thought about it at the time, and I'm really glad you can think of this."

"But these are our big goals, but we still have a lot of things to accomplish, and the most important thing at the moment is the issue of military power in the hands of the Jiedu envoys."

Zhao Kuangyi worked hard for so long to alleviate the contradiction between the power of the local government and the imperial court, and to balance the power of both sides, in order not to stimulate these powerful temperance envoys.

Who let them hold this power in their hands, the slightest carelessness will make the country appear ****, these are unbearable in front of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now faced with the situation of unifying the world, these military powers can no longer be placed in their hands, but must be in the hands of the imperial court.

"Alas, this is a bad habit since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and now we must solve this matter thoroughly, otherwise my father's wish to unify the world is really difficult to realize."

You must know that these festival envoys are only subordinates who nominally belong to the imperial court, but they are already self-contained.

It's really easy for the kings of a small country to get some trouble for the court.

So Zhao Xu was afraid that these people would drag the court back when they unified the world, and at that time, it would really be over.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of military power, and this matter has been discussed many times by the father and son, and now this issue is put in front of them.

You still have to pay attention to it, don't worry, who can rest assured that you generals with heavy troops will always be the scourge of the imperial court.

You may not be wrong, but the fact that you are in control of this military power is itself a mistake.

For the sake of reunification, you have to make sacrifices, military power, in the final analysis, it is still military power.
