Sima Guang didn't know what Zheng Lang meant by this sentence, it was Su Maozhou's two invasions, which opened the curtain of Jiaozhi's invasion of Lingnan. And the Jiaozhi invasion was more than 20 years later, Zhao Zhen died early, I don't know if I could survive at that time, even if I survived, I may not be able to speak, a generation of kings and a generation of ministers, this is after all. Zheng Lang is not afraid of Jiaozhi.

Di Qing's worries are reasonable, that is, he is worried that Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi will join forces, at this time Di Qing is about to arrive in the army, the victory of Kunlun Pass is coming, even if Jiaozhi wants to join forces, it is too late, if he does not join forces, he will not have to worry about Jiaozhi, but Zheng Lang is not psychologically prepared to fight with Jiaozhi.

The soldiers and horses in his hands are still too few.

But by tacit view, it is possible that more than two years later, Su Maoman began to launch the first invasion. You can treat people first, or you can treat people later, and after more than two years, are you still in Lingnan?

Or take the opportunity to give Su Maoman a fierce shock, how will Jiaozhi react? Zheng Lang opened the official document, and there was a map of Su Maoman, including the composition of Nandanboman, Xijia Dongman and Tongzhuman, terrain distribution, living habits and other information under his rule.

After pondering for a long time, I closed the official document, and I already had a clear decision, I can't be anxious, after all, this time forward, there will be a series of wars, from Lingnan to Meishanman, and then to Kuizhouman, so many areas are waiting to be solved, this is the foundation of the country, Zheng Lang is not interested in this small place in Vietnam at all. In fact, Zheng Lang was more or less influenced by the Wenchen of the Song Dynasty, and was not very interested in expanding the territory, and as long as he reduced the harm of the northwest frontier and operated the sixteen states of Youyun, he only wanted to resist the harm of the nomads' southward invasion, which had little to do with the expansion of the territory. And limited by the current conditions, the large area seems to be majestic, can it be governed? For example, Dali. The difficulty of taking Dali is not high, it took a lot of hard work, what should I do after I take it? Continuing to be on the shackles?

Seeing Zheng Lang's action, Sima Guang was relieved.

He didn't know much about military affairs. Zheng Lang is his teacher again, as for how much this teacher's identity has helped him in his career, Sima Guang has never thought about it, and there will definitely be it, but it is also a kind of supervision. If Zheng Lang wanted to target Su Maozhou, he couldn't say anything. But I don't approve of it in my heart.

Continue south and take a break in Gyeyang. In front of the edge of Wuling, Daozhou and Quanzhou, Zheng Lang wrote another note, reporting all the road plans of Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road along the way. By the way, I will soon cross the Wuling Mountains and arrive in Lingnan. As soon as you cross Wuling, you will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Jinghu South Road, and your position will also change.

New Year's Day is here.

The Khitan still has four messengers, and Xiao Yunjin has two. There are two Liao Xingzong, Yelu Yuansu, Liu Xu of the Liu family in Youzhou, and Xiao Liangde. Lu Fu.

At the end of winter, the capital was cloudy and snowy for days, Zhao Zhen had a banquet in the first day of the first day of the palace to invite the ministers and the Khitan envoys, suddenly the weather was sunny, cloudless, several messengers patted the horses, saying that Zhao Zhen was also touched by the holy virtue.

If so, why did Zhao Zhen Dynasty have so many disasters.

In fact, it is forced by the situation.

The Khitans described the war with the North as a war between horses and cattle, and the Song Dynasty lacked large livestock, so they mostly bought from Tibet, Western Xia and Khitan. However, the high cold of Tibet made it difficult to raise livestock, and the Western Xia and Khitan were strictly controlled. The Western Xia fought hard and had to let go of some livestock in exchange for supplies from the Song Dynasty.

There is no way to stop this, and it is not a good horse. They only bought livestock to pull goods from the fields.

However, because of the road, the Western Xia bought back a large number of livestock from the Northern Blockade and earned the interest difference. It is precisely for this reason that the war that arose from the north.

It's hard to fight, let's look at the Song Dynasty again. …,

Along the way, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the four messengers were a little hot-eyed.

It looks very good, you want money and money, you want grain and food, and the external Western Xia and Khitan are at war for many years, and there are no serious border troubles for a few years or even more than ten years, so the Song Dynasty can shift its focus to the south.

In fact, the brocade robe was pulled open, and it was still crawling with lice.

Redundant troops are slightly better, but there are still many problems, at most from black holes to gray holes, redundant officials and redundant government have not been reversed at all, and the phenomenon of annexing hidden fields has become more and more serious, and even the number of households has to be hidden in the end. According to the statistics of the household department, the number of households is declining!

With such a big rule, the number of households has actually declined, which is strange.

There are countless disadvantages of various franchises, as well as the south, it depends on whether Zheng Lang has the ability to really cure it as he said in his plan, otherwise it will be a trouble.

Another trouble is the violent increase in the population, don't look at the household register, that is useless, in fact, the life expectancy of the people is extended, and the children of every household are also increasing, the increase in population is a good thing, but if it is not handled properly, it is trouble.

Several Khitan envoys didn't know that at this time, at that time, the Khitan was also afraid that the Song Dynasty would take the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Youyun.

I heard that Zheng Lang went to run the south, and I don't know how many powerful people applauded. But don't be guilty.

There was another goal for this trip, to negotiate business with the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang said in the Khitan, you Khitan want to restrain the Song Dynasty, it's okay, you can understand, but we don't want your Khitan good horses, it doesn't matter if you give some bad horses, as long as you can plow the land, in addition, the big livestock is not very useful for war, and you can also loosen it. Zheng Lang said that it really doesn't matter if the Khitan listens to it? The Song Dynasty got more large livestock, and the grain production increased, and the national strength would be strong. With individual livestock, when war comes, transport capacity will be strengthened. The matter has been dragging on, but the Western Xia side has taken the lead. Under pressure from the national economy, four envoys came with a mission to sell 100,000 head of livestock to the Song Dynasty, not horses, including horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules, camels, a total of 100,000 horses, and some fur felt blankets.

Use them to exchange for silk cloth and cotton in the Song Dynasty, and the cotton Khitan has also heard of it, and some cotton cotton cloth is circulated to the Khitan, the price is too expensive for Zheng Lang, but it is certainly not as high as the price of fur, who let the Song Dynasty not produce this thing.

In addition to silk cotton, there are also some copper coins, silver, and porcelain for the flow of money.

In this regard, Pang Ji and the bigwigs of the two governments, including other ministers, did not object, the Song Dynasty still had a food crisis, the population was too large, and it was a policy to open up the south, and it was also a policy to tap the potential internally. After Zheng Lang's repeated brainwashing, they all knew the importance of livestock, and soon a large number of livestock were needed in the south. Measures have also been introduced to allow the cantons to take charge of breeding and improve the quality of seeds. But the Khitans asked for too much. It is simply the Song Dynasty as a Kaizi slaughtering, 100,000 head of livestock, plus some materials such as fur felt, what I want to get is nearly one million yuan of materials and cash. Pang is a conservative diplomatically. I didn't dare to say yes.

It's not worth it at all, the price of a good ox in the Song Dynasty is only four or five yuan, and the difference is only two or three yuan, a more expensive good buffalo is a little more than five yuan, and the donkey is cheaper, as for the horse, needless to say, it will not give a good horse. How much are these bad horses worth as arable livestock? There are even more trampled sheep.

Don't say 100,000 heads, 200,000 heads are not cost-effective.

Xiao Liangde said one thing, once the Song Dynasty bought the livestock of the Tangut people at a high price, and if it was at this price, the Khitan asking price was also quite reasonable. Pang Ji almost rolled his eyes, he knew this matter best, it was a change of direction to support the Western Xia people, you can rest assured that you should boldly start a war with the Khitan. We, the Song Dynasty, will vigorously support your economy in the future. It is a special case, not a regular case. In fact, at this time, the private salt channels were closed to each other. Livestock is still being purchased in large quantities, but prices are back to reasonable prices. …,

So he replied: "Your Excellency, at that time, Sanbaiqu was cultivating and lacked livestock, so I had no choice but to do it. Subsequently, Sanbaiqu livestock was not nervous, and this high price was immediately put an end to. ”

Use this to prevaricate.

The Khitans also knew that the Song Dynasty did not have much kindness. It's normal, it's much better than going to war in Song and Xia, and the Khitan directly blackmailing it. So the two sides were at a stalemate.

Seeing this strange weather, the four messengers made a big fuss. I think Zhao Zhen has a good mood and agrees to this big order. If the two sides can reach an agreement, it will be the largest transaction in the history of Song and Liao, of course, in addition to the capital, the Khitan will also earn a lot of price difference. Economic pressures will ease. They thought that Zhao Zhen was too mentally retarded, Zhao Zhen had known about this for a long time, and had instructed that they could appease a slightly higher price, but not too much.

No matter how loud the Khitan envoy slapped his fart, Zhao Zhen was indifferent.

But Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of one thing, the attitude of the Khitan envoys in the past, they had always been high and domineering, and now they have become so low-minded, why? Thinking of this, he raised his wine glass, saluted the south, and said in his heart: "Zheng Qing, why are you my Zhuge Wang Meng?" ”

Everyone saw Zhao Zhen's action and looked at the south together, the sky outside the hall was blue, and there was an arrow cloud in the southern sky, white and flawless, like a mountain and a knife, standing in the blue sky.

……

But this knife, this sword is not Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang's trip is mainly one word, governance.

The knife and the sword are another person, Di Qing.

Di Qing came to Pennsylvania, which made Yu Jing speechless, big brother, I don't mess with you, don't mess with me, I don't believe in Yu Jing, I only negotiate with Sun Wei.

The emperor wants a quick battle, Zheng Lang also wants a quick victory, Li Dezheng shouted in the south, I will support your 50,000 army, God knows if he is here to support, or is he here to make trouble? It has to be done quickly.

Sun Wei said: "If the thief collects it and gathers it, returns to the lair with the looted grain, grass, money, silk, weapons, helmets and other materials, and relies on the complex terrain of Guangyuan and Qiyuan to resist it, it is a plan, and our army must plan it slowly, not be anxious. If the thief relies on Yongzhou to reject our division, it is a plan, after all, the thief is cruel and unkind to the people, and the people of Yongzhou hate it a lot, and they can cooperate with our army to fight, and they can lead the army to fight under the city. If the thief thinks that our army can easily win like Chen Shu, despises our army, and comes out victorious, this is a plan, and it can be captured in a battle. A few days ago, I received an order from Zheng Xingzhi to postpone 10,000 soldiers by sea to Daqin Prefecture and not to participate in this battle. I wrote to inquire about the reason, and Zheng Xingzhi said that General Di and you and 5,000 cavalry, plus the various armies in Pennsylvania are enough. I think Zheng Xingzhi probably has this intention, so that the thieves will continue to despise our army. ”

I guessed it right.

After all, Sun Wei had spent some time in the northwest and was a little more proficient in military affairs than Yu Jing.

Di Qing's eyes lit up.

Sun Wei's words surprised him very much, among the literati, he only admired two people, one was Zheng Lang, the other was Fan Zhongyan, who was virtuous, capable, and ...... Heartwarming.

Other literati can't get used to him, and he can't get used to other literati. There is no way, I don't have to be as good as others, so I have to be constrained by others. Calling Sun Wei to come to discuss, just to show respect, I didn't expect Sun Wei to offer a good plan.

Di Qing asked, "Is there any specific way?" ”

Sun Wei said: "General Di, since Zheng Xingzhi has handed over the command to you, why do you need to ask me? ”

If I can come up with this, it's good. Di Qing pondered bitterly, this push really pushed the whole plan to himself, and he had to be careful. This night, the oil lamp of the Chinese army's big tent was lit all night, Di Qing and Sun Wei repeatedly deliberated, mainly because Di Qing thought of ideas, and Sun Wei added.

Yu Jing didn't fall asleep, he came out several times, looking at the oil lamp, and his heart was mixed.

The sky was bright, Sun Wei rubbed his eyes, and after staying up all night, Di Qing was full of energy, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "General Di, you come to command." ”

Di Qing did not shirk, and gathered all the generals together to do the first thing, kill someone! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
