These things were not known to outsiders during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the distance was too far, and the news of the Heilongjiang River basin would not reach Hebei, and even if you wanted to inquire, you could only hear a few words from the mouths of Liao officials.

The Song people who can figure out where Heilongjiang and Changbai Mountain are are estimated to be the only one seedling, Hong Tao, must be intriguing and shocked when he says it.

These words did get to the point, the Liao country is quite big, but the internal contradictions are also very acute, mainly the national contradictions, the Zhubu people, the Bohai people, and the Ya people are all big worries.

When the Khitan aristocracy was strong, it could be subdued by force, but in recent years, the Khitan aristocracy has become more and more greedy for enjoyment, and the army has been scattered, and it will be a bit uncontrollable in the long run.

"A big ship?" When his heart is confused, he will lose his bearings, and Xiao Wuna can't help but follow Hong Tao's train of thought.

"Yes, big sea ships. The official has two preparations, one is mutual trust, and the other is mutual injury. Mutual trust, the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty are brothers' countries, but the border Chen soldiers cost a lot, and it is not beneficial to both countries. The officer intends to open more fields and reduce the army, so that the brothers can live up to their name. At this point, Hong Tao has the right to speak, and the next step is to dig a pit.

"It's easier said than done." Xiao Wuna didn't realize that there was a big pit in front of him, but he just felt that the idea of this high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty was too naïve. It would be good if the army was reduced, and the purpose of his coming was not to determine whether he should increase troops on the Song-Liao border.

"No, no, no...... Lord Xiao can inquire about what the official has done since he arrived, and then it is not too late to draw conclusions. The first thing to do was to abolish the box service, then repair the post road, and then remove the forbidden army, and the total number of people on both sides was fifty or sixty thousand. At present, there are less than 10,000 new troops left on the Daimyofu Road, and the post road will be unobstructed by the end of the year, doesn't Lord Xiao think this is a kind of kindness? ”

Referring to a deer as a horse and reversing black and white is the main technique of fooling people, and it is based on a complete asymmetry of information. Building roads and streamlining the army is the preparation work before the war in Hongtao, but in the eyes of the ancients, this is self-defeating martial arts.

Even if Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were all alive, they couldn't imagine that the war could still be fought like this. Not to mention, even the pillars of the country in the Great Song Dynasty court are still suspicious all day long, and they are criticizing this practice all the time.

“…… What does the second sentence mean? "Xiao Wuna definitely doesn't have the talent of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, so he can't think of a reason to refute it, believe it or not, put it aside, listen to the second one first.

"It's easier to hurt each other, and if the official's kindness is not reciprocated by your country, and there is even an aggressive move, then the official is not without countermeasures. Those large sea ships can travel hundreds of miles a day regardless of the wind and wind, and in an instant, they can bypass the Goryeo people and reach the homeland of the Balhae Kingdom. Lord Xiao, please come with this official, seeing is believing and hearing is false, and some things will only be believed if you see them with your own eyes. ”

After digging the sinkhole for a long time, it was dark, and Hong Tao suddenly felt that the shovel was a little small and had to be replaced with a big one. So he got up and invited, took Xiao Wuna out of the mansion gate to recognize the horse, and galloped westward through the mansion surrounded by special forces.

Where did Hong Tao go with Xiao Wuna? It's scary to say, I went to the Cizhou Workshop District and visited the iron-making workshop, casting workshop and forging workshop overnight.

The night here should be regarded as a scene, as long as the sky is dark, the foot of the mountain is like the Yama Temple, full of ghost fires, accompanied by bursts of ghosts crying wolf howls. There are not many residents in the vicinity, and since the construction of the workshop area, there is not a single household that has run, and they dare not come to the hillside to graze sheep during the day.

Xiao Wuna also thinks so, and the Yama Hall is not enough to describe it. Iron smelting is like boiling water, steelmaking is like kneading dough, armor is like cutting cloth, thousands of catties of pig iron, hundreds of catties of stainless steel, dozens of armors, and hundreds of sharp blades in a day and night.

This is just a corner of Nuoda's workshop area, and the founding marquis of other places didn't take it with him, so he wouldn't be a place to wait. Thinking about it makes people's backs chill, it won't take a year or two for the Song army to become heavy armor soldiers one by one, and the combat effectiveness is not the same.

"I'm afraid Lord Xiao doesn't know that Ganliang Road can produce three or four thousand warlike horses since the year before last, as long as the herdsmen are enough, tens of thousands of horses are also a snap of a finger, if there is an emergency, you can also buy it from Uighur and Tibetan merchants. With strong armor and sharp weapons with Xiliang war horses, the era of your country relying on cavalry to suppress the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty should soon come to an end. "Hong Tao still thinks that the pit is not deep enough, so continue to dig.

What does the founding marquis mean by this? How can I, Khitan Erlang, be greedy for life and afraid of death! Too much stimulation often has the opposite effect, Xiao Wuna is a little annoyed and angry at this time, he understands the reason, but he resolutely does not want to admit that he is in a weak position.

"Lord Xiao, don't worry, even if Your Majesty wants to do this, this official will fight with reason. It is a burden for the Great Song Dynasty to raise so many elite soldiers, and it is a waste of national effort, in fact, there is a better way. For example, using a large ship to transport all these armor and sharp weapons to the Bohai Kingdom not only does not cost money, but also can be exchanged for good furs and horns, including Haidongqing. ”

"You dare!" The pit was so deep that it almost broke Xiao Wuna's leg. As the saying goes, a dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, Hong Tao's idea will not be said whether it can be done, but as long as he says it, he will be anxious if he is a Liao official.

What is it called? If it is put into the people, it is called provoking two people to fight and divorce, and at the national level, it is called rude interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

"Let it go!" The reason why Hong Tao dared to stimulate Xiao Wuna so much was not because of the spirit of Wang Ba who pointed out the country, but because of the special forces around him.

At this time, their short knives were on Xiao Wuna's waist, and there were short crossbows to force each other, as long as this Khitan man made another move, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.

"Lord Xiao, didn't the official say it just now, the first step is called mutual trust, and the second step is called mutual injury. If brotherly nations can trust each other, why bother to fight so hard. When the official repairs the post road and the two countries no longer fight each other at the border pass, they can establish a larger battlefield. At that time, the armor and sharp weapons here can be turned into cast-iron stoves and farm tools. If the two countries continue their covenant of brotherhood and drive away outsiders together, won't they be able to live in harmony for generations? ”

Hong Tao himself didn't believe what he said, it was too fake, but he could only say that, sometimes telling the truth was hated. However, from his original intention, these words are not all false, and the most beneficial thing for the Song and Liao countries at present is to carve up the Western Xia first, turn the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into a battle between the two tigers, and simplify the situation.

"The prince may have become the lord of the court!" After being stimulated by such a big stimulus, Xiao Wuna's mind was completely confused, and he didn't want to believe it, but the firelight and rumbling hammer all over the mountains made him unable to calm his heart.

"Lord Xiao's words are wrong, people don't look at how to say it, but how to do it, and this official thinks that the same should be true between countries. The official who should do it is doing it, and the next move depends on you, Lord Xiao. ”

The imperial court agreed? Pull it down, if those people in the court could see this step, they would have packed up their bedding and rolled up. But Hong Tao was not afraid of the envoys of the Liao State to mention this matter, building roads and shipbuilding was not done secretly, and the imperial court had long known that it was the policy of the imperial court to fight each other at the border.

In fact, it's all nonsense for half a day, and there is only one purpose, to delay time! As long as the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State have this idea, it is not something that can be asked clearly in a day or two, and the war will not come too soon. When they realized that their preparations were all done, they didn't want to beat themselves and didn't agree.

This is diplomacy between countries, and every word is a lie, and it is all for the benefit of one's own country. Whoever believes the promises of diplomats will suffer greatly.

But you can't disbelieve it all, after all, people or countries must have basic credit. Therefore, at the beginning of any war, we must find excuses to prove to the world that our side is just and the other side is in breach of contract.

How to grasp the scale and proportion, and how to get dividends at the negotiation table without spending a single soldier, not only requires sharp eloquence, quick thinking, and meticulous international relations, but also relies on real strength.

If there is no new army to rely on, no workshop as a bargaining chip, and no shipbuilding technology to play, Hong Tao will only laugh even if he says that Xiao Wuna will only laugh at it, and silently recite in his heart: This grandson is too good at vernacular, there is no truth at all, and he is a pure mouth peddler.

I have to go back to China and say to the emperor of Liao: There are no capable people in the Southern Dynasty, it is all rhetorical waste, and it should be sent to send troops.
