The Liao State treated the Song State like a free woman X country played hooligans against China, and wanted to blackmail the Song State by various means such as force and economy, and even wanted to paralyze and strangle the Song State.

This intention was fully revealed in the negotiations on the reparations of the Covenant, and the Liao envoy undoubtedly saw through the fact that the Song State was now extremely weak and could fall at any time, while the Song court was still focusing on internal strife, corruption, and willfulness, so it was so arrogant that it almost shouted out 77 naked and 7 naked, and he was too lazy to cover up his attempt.

Nowadays, the population of the eastern and western border areas of Hebei in the Song State has decreased sharply, and the local residents have either defected to the pirates or moved to the interior farther away from the Liao State and the war to start life again.

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of monks and criminals forcibly relocated by the imperial court, you would only see the army and the corresponding officials and servants in Cangbei, and there was no other additional person.

Cangzhou, a major border defense area,

Except for the hundreds of thousands of people who fled from Cangbei in the area of Zhao Yue's family, the population of other places is so small that it is frightening to death.

Cangnan still has the three or two small towns that the pirates don't want to leave in the local area, and the population automatically gathers into three or two towns, which can be regarded as replacing the three counties in the south that were densely populated in the past.

The northern part of Cangzhou is even more miserable,

In the former Qingchi County and Yanshan County, which are far away from Zhao Yue's family in the southeast corner, the population does not need to take a few breaths. In the past, the villages and towns were so densely populated that they were about to explode, and now how many families can say that there is a population in my village or this town, and they have to ride a horse and keep their eyes wide open, and look for where someone appears, from Cangbei to escape the war or be deliberately driven away by the Cangbei government and flee, but the unscrupulous people who were not accepted and managed by the Zhao Yue family settled in the deserted villages and towns "mansion" castles, and found them, and the population had to be counted according to the only one or two families and a few people left, just like that, many villages and towns were still empty. Not a single figure.

Cangzhou City?

It is truly a pure military city unique to the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the people, even the civilian officials.

Zheng Juzhong, the governor of the prefecture, forcibly stamped a gold seal to prevent escape, and forcibly detained the 20,000-odd people who served the state city as a "gold digger" from other places, were all bold and dishonest, and they all looked for an opportunity to slip away desperately.

For these adventurers and men from all over Cangzhou, what are they waiting for if they don't flee quickly? Wait for the Liao army to come and break the city, kill a clean light, or capture it as a slave.

As far as Zheng Juzhong is concerned, he is also worthy of being the governor of the army and the people. He couldn't even save his own life.

If the Liao army comes again, the Liao army will still fight in the rotten scum frame of the Cangzhou border pass and the army in the city? I'm afraid that after only a few shouts and threats under the city, the city will be broken immediately, and the people in the city will not die and become miserable slaves of the Liao country, do you dare to think about it?

The adventurers who escaped were limited to the golden seal on their faces, and there was no place to escape to Song Zhi, and they would only be captured by the people and the government in various places as slaves, farming and mining...... Some of them are waiting for them to do the hardest and most miserable work, life is better than death is something that does not need to be expected, and the only place where you can go leisurely to be a good citizen must be the anti-thief Tian Huna.

Tian Hu, who was almost sad to death with a bitter face, was finally happy,

Because he is suffering from the fact that the people under his rule have fled too much, even if he learns from the imperial court to copy all the temples in the territory and arrest all the monks for labor or military use, the manpower is far from enough. There is no one left, who do you still rule and exploit? What else did you set up the Jin regime? Overthrowing the Song Dynasty as the new dynasty Taizu, then there is no need to worry about it. How many state capitals are occupied are just roving robbers. It turned out that unexpectedly, thousands of people took the initiative to vote, which was great, and there were all kinds of people with gold seals on their faces from other places......

Cangzhou, Zheng Juzhong can forcibly exploit the population of only a few thousand people, and the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Zhaozhuang do not listen to the state BB at all, only listen to the management and dispatch of Zhao Yue's family, and only pay taxes to Zhao Yue's family, they are Cangzhou people but not under the control of Cangzhou government. Zheng Juzhong, the governor of the state, is actually not as good as the county order, but he still has the face to do it.

Of course, it's not that he wants to do this Zhizhou, but that he can't do it if he doesn't.

Zhao Ji was annoyed that he had done something bad, and Cheng Xin pressed Zheng Juzhong on the top of the thunder: You made a mess, you have to clean it up. Zheng Juzhong pulled the X himself, and he had to eat it himself......

The situation in Hejian Province is better, but it is not much better.

The people who were close to the border also ran away. Only in a few counties in Funan, there are scattered people organized into a few towns. Fortunately, there are still 50,000 "adventurers" Er Laizi's border army converted into the Tuntian army stationed around the city to serve Hejian Mansion, and Su Taiwei, the prefect of Hejian Mansion, will not be as embarrassing and embarrassing as Zheng Juzhong.

The population of the border state capitals on Hebei West Road is roughly the same as that of Hejian Prefecture, and the situation is also very embarrassing. The operation of the army and the government depended on the money and food allocated by the imperial court to barely maintain it normally.

The Zhejia Army in the west of Hedong is one of the five freaks of the New Western Army formed after Zhao Yue robbed Liao and swept the west, so there is no need to talk about the strange situation.

In short, these five departments have realized the great ultimate ideal social form of mankind - the communist Z righteousness, well, at least the advanced social Z righteousness form - everything is managed and distributed by the military government and the military, the army and the "common people" eat in a large canteen, and the food is distributed according to the head and the day, and there will never be a beautiful thing in which a person can carry a large bag of grain across the long no-man's land in the east and escape back to the Song Dynasty, and of course it is collective labor....... Highly planned economy. For ordinary people, money is useless here. Not to mention that there is not a single copper plate on the body - all of them were looted by the pirate Northern Army at that time, and all labor is obligatory and necessary, and only by listening to the assigned work can you have a meal that day, otherwise you will be hungry, and there will be no money as a reward. You just have money, and you have a mountain of gold in the house assigned to you under the unified plan, and you can't buy anything.

In short, the western territory of the northern Song Dynasty claimed by the Liao envoy is now in a very strange social form, and the situation is very bad, and the Liao envoy feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it may not be so difficult to take it by force. Song Guo's defense was difficult, and if it could be easily obtained from negotiations through force and intimidation, it would naturally be the most cost-effective and best.

And the Song State was a gang of cowards and pedantic and incompetent rulers...... It may not be impossible to succeed.

In fact, the western border area of the northern part of the Song Kingdom without serious people is easier and easier to defend - there are many people in the jurisdiction to worry about and protect, and there are empty everywhere, which is equivalent to the most perfect natural wall and clear wilderness, Liao Army, you just rush in and destroy the scourge, the empty wilderness is as you run around and destroy everywhere, you can't grab anything, and you don't gain anything if you are tired, and I just need to open my heart and hands and feet to defend the fortified city and fortress calmly, and wait for the opportunity to attack....... That's it.

As for the food needed by the army stationed at the border gates, where there are no people to cultivate and supply,

The only thing that the Great Song Dynasty doesn't lack now is food.

The stocks of the autumn harvest will not be exhausted by the people of the whole country in a few years. In the next few years, we will not be afraid of natural disasters, nor will we be afraid of military disasters affecting farming.

It is precisely because of this that the Liao envoy opened his mouth and demanded a total of 15 million stone of food as compensation, the purpose of which was to defeat Song Yiyi as much as possible. Of course, this is also what today's Liao State needs very much - cattle, sheep and livestock are almost all snatched by pirates, the Liao army turned its face and robbed the Zahu in the territory and did not have a big harvest, Zahu, Zahu, various ethnic tribes and tribes in Liao State below the status of the Khitans were poor ghosts, and in advance called the pirates when the northern army went west to scrape a lot of livestock and property along the way, the Liao military was frightened and angry from the Jin State to turn around and rob it, there was no possible big harvest, and it was not possible to kill and rob Zahu too much. The population and strength of the various tribes and tribes are not good, but when they are summed up, the population is larger, and the total number of troops is also a lot. That is to say, the powerful nomadic Liao, who will have to change their careers to agriculture in order to survive, will need a large amount of grain seeds to prepare for next year's .......

But the monarchs and ministers of the Song State are not fools although they are waste, Cai Jing, Tong Guan.... Those are all old thieves and masters who have always only calculated that others will suffer losses and fall into the pit, and the rough conspiracy level of the barbarians of the Liao Kingdom, compared with Cai Jing, the old ghosts who are best at this and play all day long, they are not even worthy of lifting shoes. Even if the country is about to die, the sky blinds and causes them to be delirious and unable to see the insidiousness of the Liao State, and no matter how cowardly they are afraid of the Liao State, they will never agree to such blackmail from the Liao envoy.

If compensation is really made according to the demands of the Liao envoys, the territory that has only been ceded will be surrendered to dismantle all the defense systems that the Song State has built up in Hebei with great difficulty over the past hundred years, including the walled city and the forest defense isolation belt......

At that time, the Song Dynasty really had to die if it didn't die, and there was no second possibility. It was too late to even move the capital south and flee to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Liao army could reach the city of Tokyo in a blink of an eye.

Besides, the current Song court will never dare to consider moving the capital to Jiangnan if he is killed.

That is tantamount to taking the initiative to send the neck to the pirates to pinch, and the pirates can pinch to death if they want to, and they can do whatever they want to the Song court, and they don't even need a labor army.

Although in Henan, looking at the power of the pirates, if you want to destroy the Song Dynasty, it can still be easy, and it is by no means something that the Song State can resist, but in the end there is a difference.

The Song court now wants to move the capital to Shuzhong and shrink, then, Shu is difficult and safe. It's a pity that I can't go.

That is no longer part of the territory of the Song State. Going is equivalent to the sheep entering the tiger's mouth and taking the initiative to die.

..........

Geng Nanzhong will never agree to the arrogant and unreasonable demands of the Liao envoy, not because he is patriotic and loyal to the nation, not because he has the courage and insight to know the power, not because he is conceited in political power and wisdom to defeat the Liao envoy at the negotiation table, not to mention that he does not want to compromise in exchange for getting out of this hard negotiation errand early, so that he can easily play his favorite and best at fighting for power and profit, and leisurely enjoy the wonderful taste of Xiangye, but the court will not agree, he is not allowed to do so, he can't be so selfish and willful, can only pretend to be an iron-clad Confucian gentleman, loyal to the monarch, patriotic and righteous, fearless, swearing to die and not retreating.

If he dares to let go, the court will resolutely deny it, and he will definitely find an excuse that Geng is mentally ill, and what he says doesn't count, only the devil Zhao Ji will designate him to peel his skin......

In fact, every time he met with the Liao envoy, he would be frightened by the bear-like body of the Liao envoy Chigou'er and the hideous and bloody image of the beast, so he instinctively wanted to run away desperately. Run, run, run, run.

He asked others to negotiate with him, but he was actually doing his best to avoid coming forward to meet directly with the Liao envoy....... He had no solution to the negotiations.

If nothing else happened to change the situation of the Liao and Song dynasties, the negotiations presided over by Geng Nanzhong would eventually be signed by the Liao envoy under the threat and roar........

He himself is also very aware of this, it just so happened that he had created rumors to slander and angered Cang Zhao before, and when Zhao Yue came, he immediately had a vicious idea...... actually regarded Zhao Yue as a lifesaver. And it was the only grass he could count and hope to catch.

Therefore, he came to Fanlou for dinner tonight not to personally teach and rectify or even take down Zhao Yue with the prestige of the noble Xiangye, but to have an extremely deep and insidious purpose.

He deliberately shouted "deceive me to no one" and then pay attention to the next door, but unfortunately, there was still no movement next door except for the slight sound of eating, drinking and laughing.

Arrogant to the point that no one is in sight, young and frivolous to fearless, and the showy and conceited brave and invincible Cangzhao family, the little overlord, heard that the Liao envoy was so arrogant and so oppressed and despised the Song people, he actually didn't get angry and impulsively because the Cangzhao family was also despised and impulsively went to the Liao envoy to compete? He was indifferent......

Geng Nanzhong's conceited and calculating heart finally sank, and he couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Gonglian had really secretly hooked up with Liao?

But he then shook his head and denied the suspicion.

No way.

Otherwise, with the stinky morality, arrogance and simple and rude level of Liao Envoy Chigou'er, how could he not show this killer feature and directly defeat the psychological defense line of the Song court.

If the Cangzhao family had already colluded with the Liao State, the Liao Mission would not have arranged for five archery masters to sneak attack together to plot against Zhao Yue.

His heart settled down again, but he needed the play next door to cooperate, and the next door just didn't cooperate according to his script, and this one-man show couldn't be sung.

This requires accomplices to take over the show, which is also the main purpose of Geng Nanzhong to bring so many people here tonight.

These people also lived up to their expectations and immediately cooperated with understanding.

Someone said loudly: "The Liao State is too arrogant and has misjudged our military strength. There are still a million male soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are 400,000 elites in Gyeonggi alone. Although in the national disaster, the soldiers of the original army fled too much, and it seemed that the newly formed army was in a hurry and vulnerable, but in fact, there were no bastard soldiers who were not useful at all in the war, and the soldiers of today are fierce and capable evil soldiers, and they also dare to fight, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than before. With the capital in hand, why should my generation be afraid of the barbarians? ”

Another man twisted his beard under the sea and agreed, "Not bad." The Beijing army is not bad. The border army was no worse either. The 100,000 army under the command of Captain Su of Hejian Mansion is a strong army that brings together 50,000 of the most powerful heroes from all over the Great Song Dynasty. Su Taiwei also managed the army well. The Liao army also wanted to easily invade south from Mozhou, which was a conjectural dream. ”

Someone laughed and said: "The border army on Hebei West Road is a little worse, and the officials who govern the border are not very good, but there is still the Hedong Zhejia army to echo." The Zhejia Army is also newly formed, the original elite defected, but the generals are there, and the remaining population in Hedong is fierce and dares to fight, and the imperial court approved only 20,000 troops in each of the five divisions of the New Western Army to be paid by the imperial court, but in fact, the five divisions have no less than 50,000 soldiers each, all of whom are composed of evil men who dare to fight and can fight, and the other 100,000 or 200,000 people in each department are also militarized management training, and they are also used to fight when necessary. The Zhejia Department is already a powerful force that can be used on the West Road, not to mention that there is an army of 100,000 led by two generals, Wang Yu and Xin Xingzhong, although it is used to encircle and suppress the anti-thief Tian Hu, but it is also a powerful force that can resist the southern invasion of the Liao army. ”

Naturally, this was not a free discussion, but it was deliberately said to Zhao Yue: Listen, it is not only the Cangbei Military Line controlled by your eldest brother, but also others. If it weren't for the Cangbei Army, the Great Song Dynasty would have no soldiers to resist the invasion. The Cangbei Army is not as important to the Great Song Dynasty as you imagine the Cangzhao family, so unrivaled. If you want to rebel, you take it easy.......

In the midst of Zhao Yue's smile next door, the senior Confucian brother suddenly sighed: "Speaking of these, the old man sighed." Cangzhao family, how much the old man admires. Zhao Gonglian, how admired the old man was. Such a virtuous family, such a talented son, now, alas! Why is he like this? ”

Sure enough, when it comes to talking, the purpose is still to talk about Cangzhao.
