Chapter 54: The Ghost of Choibals

readx; The strong north wind crackled on the shield with gravel, and Li Qing walked on the battlefield, the shield was carried on his back, and the heavy armor made his whole person look like a moving fortress. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The tin boots stepped on the soft sand, one step at a time, but soon the footprints were filled by the sand brought by the wind.

As far as the eye could see, there were broken corpses and ownerless war horses everywhere in sight, and several flags were dumped on the ground at random, blown by the wind, but there was no shadow of the standard-bearer.

It's a slaughter field!

Human-high ballistas were everywhere, and stones the size of a canopy were densely embedded in the soft sand, but more often were embedded in the bodies of dead people.

"The combat power of the machine will eventually replace the martial arts of the individual!"

Li Qing, who had inspected the battlefield, whispered to himself.

After saying this, Li Qing found a place of clean sand without blood stains and made it, and he found that he now preferred to drink corpses more and more, rather than drinking with living people, even after winning the battle.

This is an indescribable feeling, there is always no shortage of corpses in the nightmares of the past, the appearance of those life and death brothers who died in battle after the first war in Qinzhou will always appear in his dreams, after a long time, he will get used to it, he even learned to drink and sing with those tattered corpses in his dreams, so that now only seeing corpses can make his heart really quiet.

Dragged a broken flag at hand and wiped his hands, this is the flag of the Heqing army, now this army has been wiped out, and the more than 4,000 Liao troops who were captured just now were all buried alive by Xiangguo in Jinxiu Mountain.

Removed from a corpse the bag of dry food, which contained jerky, which was air-dried meat. A very good marching food, Li Qing slowly ate a piece, it was very hard, but it tasted very good, and the taste of salt was very strong, but this was military food. Salty and dried is a must.

If you eat too much, you will be thirsty, and the water in the Liao army's water bladder has turned into ice, so Li Qing used a knife to split the skin bag, smashed a large piece of ice, and found a piece of crystal clear and put it in his mouth and sucked it slowly.

Lying on their backs on the sand, two lonely eagles still hovering in the air, occasionally flying low, and letting out a loud scream at the corpses.

This is the Haidongqing domesticated by the Liao army, and the reason why this battle was able to completely annihilate the Qing army in Hehe. The most important thing is that the minister of state has deceived these two Hai Dongqing, their simple brains have not yet been able to distinguish the crowd from the flock, they can't tell the difference between people in sheep's clothing and real sheep, in their opinion, as long as they wear sheepskin, they are sheep.

"War is nothing but a liar's game!"

This is the second very philosophical sentence that Li Qing said today, the previous sentence just confirmed the necessity and feasibility of forming his own Poxi army, and the destruction of the Heqing army proved that the equipment can increase the combat strength of an army exponentially.

The cavalry may have a chance to survive in the dense rain of arrows, but they charge in the rain of dense stones. The end was very miserable.

Li Qing even thought about replacing all the stones with the gunpowder bullets of the Song army. I don't know what the outcome will be.

He quickly deduced the result, that is, there would be no such situation at all, the price of gunpowder bullets was too expensive, no one could throw gunpowder bullets like stones all over the world, even Yun Zheng's loser couldn't do it.

When sand gets into the eyes, it is very uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter when you die. Looking at the eyes of a corpse in front of him, Li Qing saw the dust on his eyes, so he raised his hand to close the eyes of the corpse, not wanting to see those gray eyes.

A large battalion of the Western Xia army marched into battle. The soldiers began to systematically strip the armor off the corpses, strip them of their relatively clean clothes, and take away everything that could be used, which was very important to the Tanguts.

A black war horse stopped beside Li Qing, and the knight on the horse looked down at Li Qing, and the majesty in his eyes seemed to have solidified.

Li Qing sat up curtly, looking from the bottom up, the state minister is like a majestic emperor, although he is still the state minister, but everyone knows that as long as the frail and sickly child in Xingqing Mansion dies, he will immediately be the king of the entire Western Xia.

A sable skin was thrown down from the horse, covered Li Qing's head, and said faintly: "Wear more clothes, don't fall ill." ”

Then there was the sound of horses' hooves, and they were distant horses' hooves.

Li Qing took off the sable fur from his head and put it on his body indiscriminately, and looked at the distant Wuzang Pang with some worry, there is now a legend in the Western Xia army, as long as the country is better than whom, who will not be far from death.

There is a source for this sentence, the prime minister and the queen mother have not been dependent on each other since childhood, and the no Tibetan family is even brought up by the prime minister, and no one doubts the deep love between brothers and sisters, but when the prime minister strangled the queen mother, I heard that his hand was very stable.

Li Qing always thought that he should attack the land of Liao at this time under Xijing City, or after crossing the frozen Yellow River, just like Yun Zheng is doing now, instead of running to Mobei to snatch some kind of treasure!

Yun Zheng must have burst into laughter at this time, Li Qing thought so.

The problem is that Li Qing thinks that it is useless, and other people of insight in Daxia think that it is useless at all, and the minister wants to go to Yeluxin's territory to grab the treasure, so the big guy has to travel thousands of miles to find some bullshit treasure.

Li Qing was not happy at all after annihilating the Heqing army, the more Liao troops he killed now, the easier it was for Yun Zheng to be. What kind of treasure did he go to find by himself, but Yun Zheng was expanding his territory and had already obtained the real treasure.

The prime minister was stunned!

This is the only reason why Li Qing can explain clearly what the minister is doing now, if there is no demon, the minister should not go to Mobei with a large army at this time, and should look for the glory and interests of the Western Xia people in the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao.

When two big countries are at war, it should be easy for the third big country to find its own interests, but the prime minister seems to have given up all of them, and he just wants the weakest interest, that is, the treasure of Ma Ma, even if the treasure is full of gold, so what?

The despicable Song people have just passed a decree, they no longer allow gold and silver to circulate in the market, small transactions with copper coins, large transactions with jiaozi, their big Song money village is hoarding gold and silver, as much gold and silver as there is to issue as much value as the jiaozi, God knows if they really do this, in Li Qing's opinion, the greedy Song people secretly printed a few more jiaozi is very likely.

In the future, those despicable Song people only needed to use those beautiful pieces of paper to buy good things such as cattle and sheep, furs, green salt, medicinal herbs, etc. from Western Xia.

Li Qing was very worried that once the Song people made Jiaozi all over the world, the people of the Great Xia Kingdom held a bunch of pieces of paper and didn't know if they could exchange them for the good things they urgently needed, even if they could still use it, they only needed to manipulate the exchange ratio a little, and the people of the Great Xia Kingdom would probably lose their business income.

One ingot weighs ten taels of gold to Goro, and he can buy twenty slaves, thirty war horses, and two warehouses of grain in Great Xia.

However, in the Song Kingdom, it was necessary to exchange ten taels of gold for eighty taels of silver, and then one tael of gold or eight taels of silver in exchange for 1,500 copper coins.

Then he exchanged 1,500 copper coins for what he needed.

Now no one can figure out why copper coins are so valuable, ten taels of gold for fifteen thousand copper coins, that is, fifteen copper coins.

Three years ago, one tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver for ten copper coins, and the prices of Great Xia and Da Song Dynasty were like, and gold was equally valuable, but now, it is different......

They won't even give you 15,000 copper coins, because the laws of the Great Song Dynasty stipulate that Jiaozi must be used for all transactions, so the gold becomes a piece of paper with numbers written on it.

Li Qing didn't believe that the prime minister of the country who was in a hurry, couldn't see these changes, couldn't see the sinister intentions of the Song people, and couldn't he see that although the Song people were attacking the Liao State, it was actually Daxia that they really wanted to bring down?

He threw it away after taking off the sable fur, but after he found that he had not hidden the sable and came back, he quickly picked up the sable fur, dusted it off, and put it on again.

"Li Qing, the road to the north has been opened, and the old man has ordered Zhang Jiang to go first as a pioneer, you have a heavy burden in the army, can you reach Gahaizi within the agreed time?"

He jumped down from his horse and asked after helping Li Qing tidy up the sable skin.

Li Qing shook his head and said: "It's too far, more than 2,300 miles away, and the carriage pulling the baggage can't last that far, not to mention that the road is all desert, and it's not even easy to find materials for trimming the carriage." ”

The face of the unconcealed Pang was full of anxiety, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The old man knows that you have other opinions about the Northern Expedition to Daga Haizi, and I also know that you all think the old man is crazy.

But the old man told you that Daga Haizi's trip was the result of the old man's careful consideration, Li Qing, the old man only asked you to obey the military order, okay? ”

Li Qing opened his mouth to relinquish him for not hiding it, but when he thought of the terrible fate of those who admonished those who didn't hide it, he finally swallowed his words, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "The last general will definitely obey the instructions of the prime minister, although he will die without regret." ”

He nodded with satisfaction: "When you follow the old man to Dagahaizi and go up to Qiaoba Mountain, you will know how wise the old man's decision is!" ”

A thought flashed in Li Qing's heart, and he asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister, is there more than gold on Choibala Mountain?" ”

He smiled slyly, then patted Li Qing on the shoulder and got on the horse to leave, and only after walking far away did he shout loudly to Li Qing: "Li Qing, go further!" We go to Choibalsan and you won't be disappointed there! (To be continued.) )
