Speaking of this, Han Qi asked so many questions, which has proved that Han Qi is tempted, and he is afraid that he will not be moved.

That's right, Han Qi is indeed tempted, he is very tempted by the longbow and the fortress, he personally saw the strength of these two weapons, as long as he can popularize them on a large scale, he will have a city defense sea that can never be attacked in the northwest, and the investment is not large, this is the best choice, and he will definitely make meritorious contributions if he goes.

On the other hand, Han Qi has always thought about Xixia in his heart, and even devoted himself to the new law, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but he did not have the idea of revenge when his strength was enough.

Now, Zhao Xin sent the opportunity to him, how could he not seize it, and it was very likely.

From Han Qi's expression, Zhao Xin understood that the main generals of the military at that time, even Zai Fu, had the same attitude towards weakening Western Xia and Liao, but why did they not participate in the battle for Western Liao.

Zhao Xinzhong was gloomy for a while, in history, I don't know what the reason is, for overseas battles, the imperial court has not recognized, nor has it cared, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the combination of vertical and horizontal techniques, to this era, there is no more, there is no enemy in front, but passively waiting for the other party to come.

In fact, between countries, what treaty, what credit, as long as it is not discovered, then there is no problem, even if it is discovered, as long as there is no ironclad evidence, it can be done, and it is a big deal to pay a certain price.

In fact, the Liao State and the Western Xia, the big battle in Helan Mountain, the preparation time is quite long, whether it is Liao Xingzong or Yuan Hao, they all know that there will inevitably be a battle between the two.

Liao Xingzong didn't take Xixia seriously, he was there to teach Xixia a lesson in the past, but Xixia was preparing frantically, and he was very thorough in Jianbi Qingye.

However, this battle was prepared very early, both sides had no propaganda, and it did not last long, from the Liao State to the Western Xia, to the final defeat, it was only a few months, and it was in the distant Helan Mountain.

At first, the Northern Song Dynasty didn't know, but later, when the Northern Song Dynasty knew, it was already too late, the war had gradually ended, and the two sides had settled peacefully.

This war between Liaoxi, large-scale war, started quickly, ended quite quickly, from the war situation, Liao is a fiasco, 100,000 troops, almost all were annihilated by Liao, if Yuan Hao does not forgive, the contradiction between the two sides will not be resolved.

Yuan Hao here, did not insist on going his own way, but made the most correct choice, after he gained the upper hand, the prisoners were returned, and took the initiative to pay tribute to the Liao State.

Since then, for a few years, there has been no war between the Liao State and the Western Xia, and the obedience is only one aspect, the Western Xia has proved that it is not a soft persimmon with real strength, but the Liao State has carried out a lot of support for the Western Xia, so that the Western Xia can attack the Northern Song Dynasty without scruples.

It seems that it is not in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty at all, and even from Longxi is far away, and it seems that it is impossible to check the hand, in fact, there are many applications in the Northern Song Dynasty.

For example, the Liao army was without food and grass and finally failed, for example, at that time, the Western Xia was almost full of national strength, strong walls and clear fields, which barely won the war with the Liao State, and the victory was very dangerous, once the Liao State in several measures, one or two of them were right, they were easy to turn around.

That's right, among the two sides, the strongest is the Liao State, even if after the Western Xia wins, he doesn't dare to jump easily, and honestly return the captives to Liao Xingzong, otherwise, once the Liao State comes with the strength of the country, what awaits the Western Xia is a catastrophe.

Knowing the result, time, place and reason, there are many places that can be used in the war of Liao, and if, at this time, there is a little action, maybe there will be a different result.

The reason why Zhao Xin and Han Qi will do this, Han Qi's heart moved, maybe he said, now for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is a bit too much to fight against Western Xia alone, and no one will agree, but if it is said that after the Liao State started a war against Western Xia, it will be different.

I didn't know this information before, the central side was not prepared, according to Zhao Xin, there are still a few months to go, as long as he arrives in Longxi and has the right to form an independent army, then at this time, he can take advantage of this opportunity to control the battle situation, not to mention letting Liaoxi fight to death, it is possible to take the opportunity to weaken Western Xia.

The Northern Song Dynasty hoped that the Western Xia would be weakened, and in this battle, even if the Western Xia won, he did not take the opportunity to weaken the Liao State, but let the Liao State escape and successfully recovered the loss.

Western Xia is among the Three Kingdoms, and its power is relatively weak, but compared with Hebei's relatively complete city defense, Western Xia's side has become an inevitable choice.

In the Northern Song Dynasty in history, this opportunity was missed, perhaps because of poor information, or because of the delay of the fighter in the midst of quarrels and hesitation, but now, since Zhao Xin has come to this era, he will definitely not let it go.

For the sake of Liao, he is willing to put a batch of foot armor, as well as a large number of bows and arrows and grain and grass to get over, after the longbow is put in, the crossbow in the army is to be gradually removed, in the future, in the bow and arrow club and part of the army, there will be a group of elite sniper crossbows, and the rest will be replaced by longbows, this part, can be replaced.

The number of this part is very terrible, conservative estimates, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the number of various strong bows, about 1.5 million to 2 million, when the longbow replaces these bows and arrows, these bows and arrows except for a small part, because there is no longer use value, and must be eliminated, the other part, must be dealt with.

According to the original method of the Northern Song Dynasty, the weapons that were replaced were often destroyed on the spot, because this would be the enemy, and even ordinary iron tools were rarely provided to the Liao State and the Western Xia, which must be prohibited in trade, and direct smuggling of weapons would exceed the bottom line.

But accustomed to the arms trade of later generations, how to make a obsolete weapon get cash value is the key.

The United States is such a leader, as long as the generation gap appears, it is about to be eliminated, or if there are newer types of weapons, some of their original models of weapons must be sold and found buyers.

In this way, when replacing weapons, not only will there be no waste, but there will also be income, which cannot be considered very high, but it is much stronger than waste.

But this concept is not recognized in this era, even if it is a bad weapon, it can't be done like this, and even iron tools can't be made, which will give the Song army a great advantage, and giving them these weapons will not make them greatly increase their strength?

On the one hand, it is possible to massively squeeze the other side's economy through economic means, and when a country buys weapons for most of its income, it cannot buy anything else.

Of course, there is also a premise that your weapons must be advanced enough and strong enough, for example, when the United States had the F22, it began to sell the F16 and 18 on a large scale, which is based on the F16 and 18 that the F22 can easily kill.

If you say that the generation difference has not been formed, you drive the F14, or the kind of heavy-duty modification, and the F16 and 18 used by the United States are a matter of command and use.

All the weapons of the Northern Song Dynasty did not form a generation gap between the Liao State and the Western Xia, or in other words, there was a difference between strength and weakness but it was not obvious, in this case, this kind of thing could not be sold, because it was like a wolf and a tiger, and after obtaining better weapons, it would be like a tiger.

Now, the longbow and the short bow have formed a generation gap, and this gap is not small, especially the appearance of the bastion, which magnifies the difference between them.

The longbow standing on the fortress, compared to the short bow, I don't know how much stronger, using this to consume the opponent's strength, and it's useless, using the short bow to conquer the fortress, even if there is no longbow to sit in the town, it's difficult, not to mention the epoch-making longbow, in this case, take out these short bows to be eliminated, in exchange for money and funds, it should be a good choice.

The Liao State and the Western Xia did not have much money, and it was somewhat difficult to plunder directly economically, but they had horses and cavalry, and if they used ordinary economic temptation, they might not take out their horses, but if it was a longbow and foot armor, would they?

However, Zhao Xin also knew that it would be difficult for this matter to pass through the court, and he was not prepared to inform the court about this matter, as soon as it was involved in the court, it would be easy to have problems, even Renzong could not completely control the entire court, not to mention his current identity, once he was suspected of ill intentions, it would really be a problem.

Zhao Xin's purpose is very simple, while it is still early, prepare some first, and on the premise that the Dinghai Navy has initially laid the foundation, and no longer let him be where he is all the time, he chooses to go to Helan Mountain, from Longxi, with the help of a caravan, to investigate the terrain in the northwest, and hide things in that area.

He is just a child, it is impossible to enter the chaotic army casually, when the time comes, either let Sun Ji, or let the Imperial City Division transfer one or two capable people to do this thing, at a critical moment, give the Liao army the most critical food and weapons, surprise counter-killing, may still not change the outcome of the war between Liaoxi, but will make the war more tragic.

The Western Xia finally won, Yuan Hao's approach was the most unfavorable to the Northern Song Dynasty, the two sides fought a battle, but the intensity was not high, and there was no unsolvable grudge, the Liao State finally made peace with the Western Xia, and the Western Xia won the time for strength and development, and then came over and constantly harassed the Northern Song Dynasty.

If you want to fight, you have to hit the key points, even if the Western Xia wins, it will be a defeat for both sides, or it will really make the Liao State suffer heavy losses, and make the contradictions between the two sides irreconcilable, so that the Northern Song Dynasty can take advantage of it and profit from the middle.
