Chapter 14: Frosthoof Chasing the Wind (9)

"It's too much to deceive people!"

"Han Gang actually thinks that my Da Liao is weak and can be bullied!"

"Privy, teach the Southern Dynasty a good lesson!"

"Drive away all the Song dogs of Qu Yechuan, that's the land of Da Liao!"

"We want to break Fuzhou!"

"Kill to Taiyuan!"

Xiao Shisan looked coldly at the generals below who were clamoring for revenge to go back, their faces were red, and they gritted their teeth.

It's just that in Xiao Shisan's heart, there is not much indignation-in fact, in this group of people, the anger in his heart may not have shown one-tenth of it-only the calculation of pros and cons.

When the Song people reached out to the old land of Fengzhou, which was destined to be occupied in the south of Dongshengzhou, Xiao Shisan knew that the conflict between the Dao and the Dao would be sooner or later, but the cause of the conflict this time was too nonsense.

When the scout who probed the enemy's situation left, he accidentally injured one of the ears of the famous Song general, and then the Song general brazenly led his troops to cross the border and burn down two patrol shops. Later, the scouts who were sent to investigate the progress of the Song people's construction were all shot with the bow of the divine arm, and three people were injured, one of whom was seriously injured, and most of them could not survive. And the Wuqing army also retaliated back, it is said that dozens of Song soldiers were killed, excluding the element of boasting, Xiao Shisan is estimated to be a Song soldier who was alone in the firewood. I was unlucky enough to be bumped into, and I don't know how many of them died.

The Liao people are very unaccustomed to such a tough attitude towards the Song people, which is also why all the generals are clamoring to do something to the Song people of Qu Yechuan.

But the war between Song and Liao lasted for decades, with millions of casualties. Even after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, there are often cases on the border where you burn my patrol shop, you kill my people, and finally make trouble all the way to the two emperors. But for the sake of half an ear, there was such a big movement, and when I think back on it in the future, I don't know whether I should cry or laugh.

However, there is no precise border between the two countries, but there are still customary national borders. However, Western Xia perished, and the land left behind was occupied by the Song people. As long as there is no official border document, the Daliao side can completely not recognize it. What really determines the national border is the amount of military power invested by both sides and the result of the most reluctant war.

"Are you really going to war for half an ear?" There are still people who are calmer.

"Not for those half ears! It is for the land of Da Liao. If it's too late, the Song people will occupy the entire Quye River. ”

"The walled fort on the edge of the Quye River has only begun to be repaired, and it is still very early to be repaired. The circle of walled forts in Hedong and Hebei was not built for decades to have today's scale? ”

"It's Qianbu City, let the Song people repair it, and it can be repaired in a month or two. Still decades ...... For a decade, the mountains on the border of Dongshengzhou were all Song people's villages. ”

"It's just that when it hasn't been repaired yet, when the big worm is small, it can be kicked to death, and when it grows up, who will dare to provoke it?"

"It's not that you really want to fight, as long as Chen Bingwu Qing Army forces the Song people to withdraw from Quyechuan."

"If Han Gang is so easily intimidated, where can he be in the position of the envoy of Hedong Jingluo?"

"And now the main forces are in the Black Mountain River, and it will take at least half a month to transfer troops back."

Xiao 13 gave the people below a headache.

From his point of view, fighting with the Song people will not bring any benefits, and calming things down is the best result. Recently, the center of gravity of the imperial court's troops is between Xingling and the Black Mountain River, as well as the North Blockade that is about to move. In addition, in order to gather the spring bowl of the Jurchen tribes by the Yazi River next year, Xiao Shisan knew that he could not get much support from Shang's father.

The Great Liao Iron Cavalry heading south has occupied the state capitals of Xingqing Mansion, Lingzhou, Shunzhou, Dingzhou, Huaizhou, and all other places of Xingling. Several of the Dangxiang tribes who originally lived here chose to retreat westward. It is indeed gratifying that they are so knowledgeable, but the real situation is that these Tibetan tribes have taken refuge in the Song people and helped the Song people block a traffic artery, so that Lingzhou is threatened at any time. But the remaining party clans refused to move away, and there was now a fierce conflict over their territory.

Those who will be relocated to Xingling are the members of the Fifth Courtyard, the Sixth Courtyard, the Uncle of the State, and some of the tribes of the Xi Clan, and they will all be allocated land within it. This is the benefit brought to them by Shang's father Yelu Yixin, as for whether they can occupy it stably or not, it depends on their ability. Even if they can't stand, it's not Yelu Yixin's fault, it's just their incompetence. Even if it is stabilized, it will come at a huge cost, and the benefits for Yelu Yixin will be the same.

The party members will not surrender easily, just like all the tribes in the territory of Daliao, they must be forcefully suppressed, to put it simply, it is massacre. Wipe out the remaining party members in the Land of Spirits.

And now the Hejian Land under Montenegro is also being cleaned up of the remaining party tribes. It was Yelu Yixin's predetermined jurisdiction of Huluduo, and a large number of Khitan tribes were to be relocated to live, and there was no need for extra Dingkou. Compared with the party members in the land of Xingling, none of the party tribes in the land between the rivers of Montenegro will stay in the predetermined plan.

Of course, whether to kill or expel depends on the mood of Xiao Shisan, who actually received the matter. Before, Xiao Shisan was afraid that these tribes would simply be driven away, and they would make a comeback in the future - as long as there was such a possibility, it would be regarded as a disadvantage by Shang's father, after all, it would become Shang's father's territory, and the slightest risk would affect the safety of Shang's father-so he adopted the method of killing them all.

However, Xiao 13 planned to change his method, "Send an order to Yelu Chengji, and ask him to drive that group of Montenegrin party members to the south and drive them to the territory of the Song people." Let them fight with the Song people first, not expecting them to bring much damage to the Song people, consuming grain, grass, horsepower, and delaying the construction time. Go back and put your troops and horses in order, and get ready, ready to give me orders. ”

The generals looked at each other, but they did not dare to oppose under the authority of Xiao Shisan. If Xiao Shisan refuses to fight, the generals will definitely have to fight, but now that they have promised to fight, it is only a matter of strategy for using troops, so there is nothing to fight about. Even if he can't get his wish, it is also the problem of Xiao Shisan, the privy envoy of the Northern Court.

The generals left, and Xiao Shisan's staff walked up to him and whispered, "Privy, drive the tiger and devour the wolf...... Driving wolves and attacking tigers is certainly a clever plan. What if the two families don't fight...... The Montenegrin party will definitely surrender to the Song people. ”

"It's best to surrender to the Song people, you can take advantage of the situation to chase and kill the past, and see if the Song people protect them. The Song people guarded the camp, and hitting the wall would only break their heads and bleed, and they would be pulled out and beaten before they had a chance...... When escaping, the livestock cannot be taken away, at most only some horses. The Song people want to feed them, and they don't know how much grain they have to consume. ”

Of course, Xiao 13 was unwilling to fight to the death with Han Gang. Once he fails, his position in Yelu Yixin's mind will definitely plummet, and it will not be impossible to be replaced, and it is not impossible to even step on it.

Of course, Xiao Shisan believed that Han Gang would not be willing to risk ruining his future to provoke a war. However, the name of Han Gang's immortal disciple is also thunderous in the Liao Kingdom, no matter how big a mistake is made, there is a chance to redeem it, but it is not so easy to change to his own family.

By the way, I can borrow the strength of the Montenegrin party, which can be regarded as a little more certain. If Han Gang does not protect the party tribes that belong to him, he will suffer hardship. If they were to protect them, in order to resist the pursuing Da Liao cavalry, they would either collect them around the walled city, or pull the army out of the walled defenses. It would also be a good thing if the group of party members were killed and injured in the process of fleeing.

No matter what the result is, for Xiao Shisan, there is only the difference between good and better. As long as you make sure that the confrontation with the Song people does not end in a fiasco, there is nothing to worry about.

……………………

The conflict caused by half an ear made Han Gang feel ridiculous.

But no matter how unfounded the reason, it must be persistent. Now that you have chosen to agree with Zhe Keren's retaliation, you need to stay the course.

Han Gang knew very well that some things could not be done by his wishes, and it was difficult for people to judge in the first place. But the real situation of drawing a sword in anger rarely occurs in people in high positions. What seems to outsiders to act impulsively is actually still based on one's own interests.

Lin Xiangru threatened the King of Qin to splash blood for five steps at the meeting of the pond, and he did not see the King of Qin angry and killed. Even with the aggressiveness of the Liao people, after reaching the level of privy envoy, he should be calm enough, and he is even unwilling to risk losing power.

The son of a daughter can't sit down.

This is the general rule of the world, the richer the net worth, the higher the power, especially the kind of power and net worth are accumulated by themselves bit by bit, the more unwilling to take risks. There may be exceptions, but Xiao 13 is definitely not.

Instead of facing each other across Yanmen Pass for half a year, Han Gang was very sure that Xiao Shisan was not an impulsive character, otherwise he would never have died down after a skirmish. And this time, Han Gang has always tried to limit it to simple revenge, so as to prevent it from expanding into a war.

However, the preparations to be made are still based on war, if this conflict is really expanded by the Liao, Han Gang can also fight-for-tat, and with the escalation of the conflict, it will become a war, and he will have to grit his teeth to hold on.

"How's the grain and grass going?" Han Gang asked.

"There are more than 53,000 stones of grain and 20,000 bundles of grass in Linzhou. Taiyuan Mansion and Jinning Army also have more than 330,000 stones and 200,000 bundles of grass combined. The grain stock in Fuzhou is more than 100,000 stones. Enough for the use of two big battles. Huang Shang is very familiar with several key data.

"It's the horses and the soldiers that matter." Zhi Keshi followed up and said, "After more than half a year of fighting. The people are war-weary, and the war horses can't support it. ”

Han Gang nodded, he knew all this. However, logistical materials such as food and grass are the key, and there are always ways to boost morale mentally. Although the problem of war horses is difficult to solve, there is no perfect way to say it in this world.

Just thinking about something, the pro-soldier led a messenger in, "Long Tu, Li Duzhi is here in half a day!" ”
