No matter what news Cao Zinuo got from there, the rivers and lakes had been surging in a few days, Qiao Feng came to Suzhou on the third day after Cao Zinuo visited Yanziwu at night, and at this time, Yanziwu was already empty.

Shaolin and the speed of the beggar gang is so fast, in three days, the conspiracy of the Murong family has spread all over the world, the Gusu Murong family, the stars are changing, the rivers and lakes are so famous, but at this moment it is ushered in a greater scolding, the martial arts group in this world, most of them may not have a good impression of the court, but absolutely no one wants to rebel, the rivers and lakes have the rivers and lakes, and the court has the court.

Even if it is occasionally found that corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be punished, but no person in the rivers and lakes will want to replace the imperial court, but the knights of the rivers and lakes pay attention to happiness and revenge, and they are free from the world, where they like those things of the court, they naturally don't like such things as rebellion.

Qiao Feng came to Suzhou but didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the Murong family, he just drank with Cao Zinuo, and Qiao Feng had obviously lost a lot of weight these days.

Cao Zinuo could see that there was a deep tiredness in Qiao Feng's eyes, but the matter of Apricot Forest obviously still left a great scar on this man's heart, but there was no way to erase this kind of scar, and Qiao Feng could not ignore the beggars.

He is a Khitan, but he was raised by the Han people, and his mind has already accepted the chivalrous spirit of the Han people, he still can't get used to the ferocity of the Khitans, but he is unwilling to kill the Khitans too much, which is a contradiction, a great contradiction.

"Brother Qiao is distressed."

Looking at Qiao Feng's painful expression, Cao Zinuo laughed, in fact, there was no way to solve Qiao Feng's distress. In this day and age. There was almost no way to stop Qiao Feng from being distressed.

If the Khitan is weak. The Northern Song Dynasty is a country like the Tang Dynasty, and it may be possible to incorporate the Khitan into the Song State, but unfortunately, the Song Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and the Khitan is not likely to be incorporated into the Northern Song Dynasty, but the reverse is almost the same.

Therefore, it was basically impossible for the war between the two countries to stop, and the Khitan and Northern Song territories were adjacent to each other. Things like grass valleys are unavoidable.

However, Cao Zinuo knew that there was another way to avoid the conflict between the Khitan and the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, this method was also a helpless way, but once it succeeded, at least the Khitan and the Northern Song Dynasty could coexist peacefully for a long time.

"What should I do, my biological father and adoptive father are both fathers. Either side I help is a sinner, and any choice I make is sorry for my own goodness. ”

Qiao Feng's face showed a look of pain. This man is full of pride, but in fact, he has been driven crazy by reality, and he is more miserable than Murong Fu, at least Murong Fu has a clear goal, no matter what he does, Murong Fu doesn't need to worry about being sorry for the benign.

And Qiao Feng is different, no matter what he does, it seems to be wrong, even if he escapes, this heroic man is actually about to become an anti-war person, at this time, what this man thinks most in his heart is that the Khitan and the Northern Song Dynasty can never have a war again.

"Brother Qiao, I have heard such a story, there is a pair of brothers, the relationship is very poor, fight from time to time, but one day, the next door of the brothers moved a neighbor, is a bad neighbor, this evil neighbor from the beginning wanted to eat all the brothers have, helpless, the brothers can only unite."

Cao Zinuo's voice was extremely indifferent, Qiao Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, if the Khitan and the Northern Song Dynasty became brothers, then he Qiao Feng could fight for both sides at the same time, and his biological father and adoptive father would take care of both sides, but, then Qiao Feng's eyes dimmed again, how easy it is to say, not to mention the Northern Song Dynasty, the Khitan is simply a giant at this time, an invincible existence in the world, and which country can threaten the Khitan.

"Brother Qiao thinks that no country can threaten the Khitan, hehe, this idea is fatal, since Brother Qiao thinks so, then the bureaucrats and emperors in the Khitan are afraid to think the same way, when a person is used to being high, that is, when he is close to extinction, the same is true of the country, the Great Song Dynasty has the threat of Khitan and Western Xia, maybe it will exist for more time than the Liao State, and the Khitan tribe, comfortable for too long, once the beacon fire rises again, I am afraid that it will be wiped out."

Cao Zinuo's voice was extremely indifferent, Qiao Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, he was a Khitan, although he didn't have much affection for the Khitan, but he still didn't want to watch the Khitan perish, he didn't know how many Khitan soldiers he had killed over the years, but he had a guilt in his heart.

Cao Zinuo dipped his finger in some wine, and then drew on the table, I have to say that the Liao State in this era has proud capital, and he almost unified more than ninety percent of the so-called Guanwai land of the Han people, the Altai Mountains in the west, the central Inner Mongolia in the north, the Sea of Japan in the east of Sakhalin Island in the northeast, and all the territories within this range belong to the Liao State.

This map was drawn, Qiao Feng's eyes were not only joyful, but showed despair, although this territory was poor, but the territory was much larger than the Northern Song Dynasty, such a behemoth, what country would dare to threaten.

It's just that Qiao Feng was desperate, but Cao Zinuo laughed, he stretched out his hand and crossed the map again, but he cut off more than eighty percent of the places, leaving only a small part of the places, including the sixteen states of Yanyun.

This move made Qiao Feng look up suspiciously, but Cao Zinuo also sighed secretly in Qiao Feng's gaze, there is no natural gas in this era, there is no oil and mineral resources, and whether the land is worth it depends on whether it can be cultivated and grazing.

When the Liao State was at its peak, it did occupy 100% of the territory on the map, but after more than 100 years, the Liao State at this time was infinitely close to the Han people, they were accustomed to the good land and beautiful houses, but where could they still endure the cold outside the Guan, so more than eighty percent of the bitter cold places on the map were already only famously belonging to the Liao State.

Other cold lands were actually in the hands of large and small tribes at this time, but these tribes were only vassals to the Liao State.

Cao Zinuo pointed to the places that had been crossed.

"There were hundreds of tribes living in these places at this time, and there were often wars, and the victors obtained larger lands and became vassals to the Liao State by the way, and the wars in this place were often even instigated by the Western Xia."

Cao Zinuo stretched out his hand to point at the westernmost territory of the Liao Kingdom, and then stretched out his finger to himself, "Don't doubt my words, because now Western Xia is in my hands." ”

Cao Zinuo's voice was indifferent, looking at Qiao Feng's eyes with suspicion and a trace of dazedness, Cao Zinuo casually explained the matter of the Loose Sect, if there is anyone in this world who can keep a secret absolutely, except for the most old-fashioned existence among those literati, it is a person like Qiao Feng among the martial artists.

After Cao Zinuo explained, Qiao Feng no longer dwelled on the control of Western Xia, but listened attentively to Cao Zinuo's words.

In the following time, Cao Zinuo analyzed the situation of the Liao State for Qiao Feng at this time, there is actually no difference between the Liao State and the Han State in this era, the culture and state system of the two countries are almost identical, except for the Khitans, who are still better at fighting than the Han people.

However, like any dynasty to the end, the Liao State at this time was also very rotten, the domestic battle for succession was in full swing, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries were extremely luxurious and sluggish, looking at Qiao Feng with a gloomy expression, a sneer appeared at the corner of Cao Zinuo's mouth.

"Brother Qiao feels that Da Liao is familiar at this time, hehe, I think it's familiar, because at the end of the dynasties, it was such a scene, the central government's control over the local area was weakened to the limit, whether it was the grassland, or the mountains and forests in the east, and the Gobi in the west, the orders of the central government of Da Liao were already Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, to put it mildly, the army of Da Liao was no longer the opponent of Western Xia at this time, if it was the same strength, Western Xia could completely defeat Great Liao, but Western Xia was already in the waning West Mountain, speaking of which, if it wasn't for the relationship of being scattered, At this time, the combat effectiveness of Western Xia was probably even less than that of Liao. ”

Cao Zinuo smiled bitterly, his hand pointed to the Mongolian steppe and the mountains and forests to the east, and his eyes showed a fierce look for the first time.

"In the future, it will replace the Western Xia and the Great Liao, and even the power of the Great Song Dynasty is in these two places, only by surviving in the most dangerous environment can the strongest combat effectiveness be born, the north is a battlefield, the hundred tribes compete for hegemony there, and the one who survives must be the strongest warrior who integrates the hundred tribes, but it takes a long process, and the east is the test of nature, and those who can survive there are warriors trained by God, not more, only tens of thousands of people can destroy the Great Liao."

Cao Zinuo's voice was extremely solemn, and Qiao Feng showed a trace of doubt on his face, but he was immediately dispelled by Cao Zinuo's words.

"Brother Qiao doesn't believe it, then let me ask Brother Qiao, if the warriors who fought on the rivers and lakes fought with the young masters and sons who practiced martial arts in the mansions of those officials, the bitter cold places outside the Guan, the warriors who practiced their stunts in the scorching Gobi and the vast snow-capped mountains fought against the warriors in the land of fish and rice in the Central Plains, and the victory or defeat was geometric."

Cao Zinuo's voice was awe-inspiring, and both questions were asked, and Qiao Feng's face suddenly stiffened.

He is the leader of the beggar gang, and he naturally understands the rivers and lakes, and Cao Zinuo said that there are several kinds of martial artists in the rivers and lakes, most of them, even if the martial arts of the martial artists who fight are far inferior to the young masters and sons of those officials, but the fight between life and death is often those young masters and sons, and the martial artists in the cold land outside the Guan, in general, the martial arts are higher than the martial artists in the land of fish and rice, because those people practice martial arts to survive, not to fight with people to survive, but to fight with heaven and earth, their martial arts are not high, and they can't live without others killing.

The martial artists in the land of fish and rice practice martial arts in order to fight bravely and fiercely, and they have already lost to those warriors in bitter cold places by nature.

Very terrible conclusion, this conclusion undoubtedly said that the Great Liao was extremely dangerous at this time, the Great Song Dynasty was also extremely dangerous, and the Western Xia was also extremely dangerous.

It's just that, hearing such a terrible conclusion, Qiao Feng's face slowly had a smile. (To be continued......)
