- Leaving the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty mission embarked on the road back to China, accompanied by the Liao envoys Xiao Feng and Li Wei, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of bargaining in the Great Song Dynasty.

On the way, Zhao Zongji endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and when he found no one, he secretly asked Chen Ke: "Then Empress Xiao, do you have a leg with you?" ”

"Poof...... Chen Ke was drinking water, and squirted seven feet away: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Really?" Zhao Zongji said: "Others didn't see it clearly, but I can see it, there are lip prints on the wine cup." It can't be the maid's print, right? ”

"Really?" Chen Ke said casually: "Your eyes are good enough, I haven't even noticed it." ”

"Really?" Zhao Zongji said in disbelief: "Is there anyone more chicken thief than you?" ”

"I really didn't find it," Chen Ke said: "I saw it for the first time last night, and I saw it for the first time today, and it's too late to have an adulterous relationship." ”

"Yes," Zhao Zongji was right to think about it, Lord Liao was still there last night, and he didn't have the time to commit the crime at all, so he said with a pity on his face: "That's Xiao Guanyin is teasing you." She laughed lewdly and said, "I bet if we stay a few more days, you'll have to be her ......."

Chen Ke took another sip of water and said casually: "What? ”

"Face."

"Poof......" Chen Ke sprayed a foot away this time.

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

After Zhao Zongji shook his head and left, Chen Ke still sat there in a daze, with those two words circling in his mind - 'face head', face head, face head...... This is really a word to wake up the dreamer! I went away, thinking that I had slept with the queen of Liao, and I was still complacent there, but I didn't know. In fact, I was a face-to-face for that girl!

In ancient times, there was Zhang Yizhi, and recently there was Han Derang, all of whom were named because they became women's products. Could it be that he is already among them?

Think about history thousands of years later. How will he evaluate himself, Chen Kedeng shuddered, and then made up his mind not to divulge half a word for the rest of his life.

It's just that the hidden danger is not on my side! The young and sick Empress Xiao. There is also a palace maid who helped her commit the crime, can she guarantee that it will not be leaked out? I really can't say it......

But this matter is not under his control, he can only let it go, and the plan for now is to flee quickly and never set foot in Liao for the rest of his life. Even if it leaks out, Liao will not publicize the national ugliness. It is even more impossible to go to the Song Dynasty to arrest the adulterer with great fanfare.

Adulterer...... I turned out to be an adulterer, Chen Ke felt messy in the wind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On May 20, the team returned to Yanyun, only from Bianjing to the grassland, and then from the grassland back to Yanyun. Only then can we truly understand the significance of the so-called 'Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures' to the life and death of the Han nation.

From the topography of Yanyun, the Yanshan Mountain Range and the North Taihang Mountain Range are like two connected city walls, arching and guarding the land of Yanyun. The Sanggan River and the Baigou River, which are flowing in the south of the Yannan River, are a powerful guarantee for restraining the cavalry. So the whole Yanyun. It is like a three-dimensional fortress composed of two super lines of defense, which has become a natural dividing line between the Han people and the nomadic people.

In fact, even a hundred years after the Liao State got Yanyun. The range of activities of the Khitans is still outside the pass, and the lofty mountains and rivers and swamps of Yanyun are the eternal nightmare of the cavalry......

Why has Da Song always given people the impression of being weak and weak? With several times the army, ten times the population, and dozens of times the economy, but was bullied by the Liao people to make peace?

That's a big reason for that. Without the protection of Youyan, the city wall of Gongwei itself is in the hands of the Liao people. The soft hinterland of the Pingchuan is under the threat of the Khitan iron horse.

An army dominated by infantry. Without the support of the dangers of mountains and rivers, it is impossible to stop the invasion of cavalry. The opponent's high mobility allows them to easily bypass your heavily defended areas and plunge straight into the soft hinterland.

Think about how Nong Zhigao's gang of mud legs harmed Liangguang. I know that they don't even need to bring any provisions, the rich and prosperous land of Shenzhou can allow them to 'fight grass valleys' to their heart's content, but the destruction of the Song Dynasty is devastating.

Therefore, if the sixteen states of Yanyun cannot be recaptured, the strategic initiative will always be in the hands of the Liao State, and people will fight if they want to, and they will make peace if they want to, and the Song Dynasty has no temper at all.

And what he saw and heard in the Liao State made Zhao Zongji understand one thing - even if the military role is not considered, Yanyun is still the key point of the Liao State.

The Khitans and other nomadic peoples are no different, and they do nothing but herd and hunt. Look at the half-farming and half-pastoral party members, who have been sanctioned by the Great Song Dynasty economy for two years, domestic materials are in short supply, and the common people don't even have enough pots for cooking, so they can only use their skins to cook white flesh and stomachs.

The Khitan people who don't farm the land, but they don't need to look at the faces of the Song people, they can have no worries about food and clothing, and they even have the spare strength to 'support' a little brother of Western Xia.

The difference is that there is Yanyun in Liao! This land has always been one of the most agriculturally developed, economically prosperous, and densely populated areas of the Han people, enough to feed millions of Khitans. In addition, Yanyun was also the main source of troops of the Liao State, one million and five Jingxiang Ding, and was an important guarantee for the Khitans to maintain the balance of power with the Song Dynasty in terms of military strength.

If there is no Yanyun, although the Khitan clan can still run rampant with iron horses, as long as there is a fiasco, it can make it collapse, just like the Xiongnu and Turks in the past, the rise and fall are vigorous, and there will never be a prosperous dynasty today.

In short, all in all, since Yanyun changed hands, the Central Plains Dynasty and the Khitan really formed the second situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history.

So climbing the green mountain and looking back at the land of the tiger and the dragon, Zhao Zongji finally understood that in the school, what the master said, 'If the swallow thistle is not collected, the land of Hebei will not be solid; If Hebei is not solid, Henan cannot lie down. What does it mean.

However, in his opinion at this moment, saying 'don't lie down with your back on your back' is to whitewash the peace, and it should be said that 'if you are in danger, there is a danger of destroying the country at any time'!

"Zhong Fang," Zhao Zongji looked back at Chen Ke behind him, took a deep breath of the heroic breath of Yan Zhao Dadi and said: "The men of my generation should set up this ambition and restore this Youyan with their life's strength, so that they are worthy of the ancestors of China!" ”

"If you can have this ambition, this envoy will be worth it." Chen Ke nodded with a smile and said, "Yan Yun, the foundation of whether my Great Song Dynasty can rewrite history." Saying that, he accentuated his tone, and said word by word: "Yan Yun is gone, everything is illusory, if Yan Yun is restored, then Huaxia will be prosperous!" ”

Not only Zhao Zongji, but also Chen Ke found his goal in this trip...... Of course, it's not to snatch Xiao Guanyin home, this is not what the face should do.

Life needs goals. Chen Ke's original goal was to make himself and his family live a good life, and in twelve years, the Chen family was already full of scholars and princes of Fubi, and Chen Xiliang also became the emperor's brother-in-law.

Except for Zhao Zongshi's big trouble, Chen Ke couldn't find any reason why the Chen family could not prosper for a hundred years. So he thinks that his goal is to oust Zhao Zongshi and make his good brother Zhao Zongji the emperor, but then?

And then what? If this problem is not solved, he lacks enough motivation to participate in the succession, and he is almost forcing himself.

To put it bluntly, this is a struggle for power and profit, and his character of opening up and closing with him is a serious violation.

What caused him to lack motivation, and the most important point, was changing history good or bad for the Great Song Dynasty?

He is not from a history major, let alone conducted research in this area, and his understanding of history is only to read the "History of the Song Dynasty...... It was written by the Mongols, and it is considered to be the worst of the twenty-four histories.

The reference materials of "History of the Song Dynasty" are the "Actual Records" of the Song Renxiu, as well as the history books and various notes of the private cultivation of the people. Folk history revision and writing notes are basically based on their own likes and dislikes, and there is no justice to talk about. And the 'actual record', which is known as the historian's pen, has been overhauled three times before and after, as far as Chen Ke knows......

The reason for this is that in a few years, the struggle between the Great Song Dynasty and the court will become extremely fierce. What caused this unprecedented struggle was a great change unseen in 5,000 years. In that great change, the scholar tore off the disguise of gentleness and elegance, and all of them were bloody, and for the sake of interests, beliefs and spirits, they strangled one after another.

They completely broke the gentlemanly politics of the Great Song Dynasty, they did everything they could, they killed the enemy, and the struggle was more tragic than the war of real swords and guns. What is even more unfortunate is that this struggle is protracted, and the strength of both sides rises and falls, and whoever holds the power will liquidate the opponent, and then tamper with history and blacken the other party into a treacherous villain.

Then when the other side gets up, it will counterattack and recalculate, and then change history to what it wants. This goes back and forth, which is in line with that sentence, history is a little girl who can be dressed up, as long as you have a history pen in hand, you can smear it at will!

Later, the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the Wuxu Change, and even that...... All of them are out of political necessity and have made a major overhaul of this history. It can be said that in the past 5,000 years, there has not been any paragraph that has been changed beyond recognition and messy.

Unfortunately, Chen Ke is now standing at the door of this history. He can't use the knowledge of his previous life to help himself make judgments. Is it better to change or not, and if so, how to change it...... After all, after the Song dynasty crossed to the south, there were still 150 years of national glory. With the Northern Song Dynasty, it is more than 200 years.

Don't toss around, it's not even the past two hundred years......

History books can't give him the answer, and the answer can only be found from personal experience.

In this vast and majestic land of Yanyun, he found the key to rewriting the fate of the Han nation in the next thousand years, it turned out to be here-

Segmentation –

Well, I admit that I'm more perverted, and it took more than a million words to give the topic of the article, but it was too hypocritical to say it earlier, bear with me...... There is one more more.
