"Liao Kingdom?" Several prime ministers were all dumbfounded.

This is what Wang Ju couldn't understand the most. In fact, in the Song and Liao War, except for the tragic battles between Gaolianghe and Qigou Pass, other battles were won and defeated each other, especially the defensive battles launched in the Song territory, with a winning rate of 70%. Even the several battles before the Chanyuan Alliance were mostly won by the Song Dynasty. However, when it comes to Liao Kingdoms, they all looked like earth.

Of course, under today's situation, if Xia and Liao join forces to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would indeed be in danger.

Wang Ju had to speak: "You guys, it's okay, have you forgotten the Battle of Hequ?"

"Yes, that's a shame for the Khitan." Zhao Xu said.

"The Qingli War brought heavy burdens to our dynasty's finances, but the Xixia side was even more unbearable. Bao Zheng and other ministers also wrote this in their memorial, saying that the people of Xixia were poor, hunger and cold, catching birds and rats for food, and even eating tree bark and soil. Although the Liao Kingdom was defeated in the Battle of Hequ. If our dynasty and the Khitans joined forces, the Khitans would agree in order to revenge, then the Xixia would be destroyed. However, why did His Majesty Renzong not send troops, just sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and even quickly make a contract in advance, giving Xixia 255,000 every year?"

"That was so easy. If we joined forces with the Liao Kingdom at that time, our soldiers would be defeated repeatedly and failed to invade much of the territory of the Western Xia in the end, but instead they would be earned by the Liao Kingdom. Once the Hengshan Mountain in Lingxia was obtained by the Liao Kingdom, our dynasty would be truly in danger." Wen Yanbo said.

"Duke Wen, what if the Liao Kingdom takes action now and our dynasty quickly forms a contract with Xixia and join forces to deal with Liao Kingdom, what should we do if the Liao Kingdom?"

“This is impossible.”

"Why is it impossible? If our court gave up Suizhou and gave Xixia another 500,000 yuan of annual monies to the Liao Kingdom, would Xixia agree?"

"This is even more impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? Exchange a Suizhou for the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Don't my court want to?"

"The people of Xixia will not watch me dominate the country."

"But will Xixia also learn from the Qingli period? It has both benefits and can watch the tragic battle between Song and Liao, and they may take advantage of the opportunity to gain greater benefits?"

Wen Yanbo was speechless.

"A 500,000 is also a huge amount of money for the Liao Kingdom, as well as the hatred of Xia and Liao in the past, as well as unknown risks. Will Liao Kingdom blindly cooperate with the Western Xia to send troops?"

"Why did they agree?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The reason is simple. If you don't agree, Xixia will quit. Only then will Xixia have the courage to fight with us terrible times. So the Liao Kingdom can watch the show from the side and even make a profit in time."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Chong suddenly asked, "How did you get this news?"

Today's discussion was Wang Ju sent a secret memorial, which said that the Western Xia sent envoys to the Liao Kingdom to ask the Liao Kingdom to rescue Xixia. The Liao Kingdom agreed to send troops. The Liang family was overjoyed. Therefore, while counterattacking Luowu City, they drew huge troops from all over the country and prepared to attack Dashun City. By then, the troops might be close to 300,000.

When Zhao Xu saw the secret report, he was shocked and immediately summoned several prime ministers to discuss, and then summoned Wang Ju to Yanhe Palace to discuss matters.

But the amount of information contained in this message is too large, such as Wu Chong's question.

Both Song, Xia and Liao established a spy system, but this effective range is only on the border. In fact, just think about it. If the effective range of Western Xia is not as good as Kaifeng, but as long as Chang'an is reached, how could the Song Dynasty dispatch troops?

Wu Chong is not referring to this, but to what Wang Ju said to Chen Xiang. Wang Juru has such a strong "underground force" in his hands, and is also focused on inquiring about the ministers or their faults. Who dares to say bad things about Wang Ju in the future?

This is absolutely not allowed!

Wang Ju couldn't make this mistake. He said: "Mr. Wu, it's not up to you, and he has to hold on. Almost all the benefits obtained from the soju workshop were handed over to the state, so the accounts were gradually in chaos."

A few people have a head of their foreheads, which is easy to understand. The soju workshop is pretty good.

"So I asked my guest Han Yun to go to Jingzhao Mansion to host the soju wine shop. However, before leaving, I told him that if he had the opportunity, he could use concessions and other forms to see if he could find useful information about Xixia through private wine channels."

Although the Song Dynasty hated private businessmen, especially private salt merchants, Wang Ju's soy sauce workshop was of different nature. One was that he made profits entirely on the country, and the other was that he earned not the money from the Song Dynasty, but the money from the Tubo people, the money from the Xixia people, and even heard of it was transported to the Western Regions and the Zhubu side.

So if Han Yun could do things and was lucky, it would not be surprising to hear this news.

In fact, for this news, Han Yun received nearly ten thousand yuan of goods, but Wang Ju would not explain.

Moreover, Wang Ju didn't care much. Even if Han Yun had not sent this news, I believe that such a large-scale military mobilization would sooner or later, the soldiers on the border of the Song Dynasty would know it. At most, they could prepare half a month in advance.

But even if you are not prepared, Li Fugui will not lose Gyeongju and Dashun City. It can only be said that he can gradually buy a few useful news channels in Xixia, which will be of great help in the future.

"After receiving the news, Han Yun immediately sent someone to send the information to me, and I handed it over to the official family."

Wu Chong, don’t be suspicious!

"So that's the case. Why did Xixia have the idea of ​​Dashun City again?"

"It is not the idea of ​​fighting Dashun City, but the idea of ​​fighting Qingzhou. Qingzhou has Ziwu Mountain. Once the people of Xixia get Qingzhou, they can also be the boundary of Ziwu Mountain to block our army's counterattack. Many foreigners in Huanzhou can quickly obtain Huanzhou. Once the two states of Huanqing are lost, the entire Shaanxi border will be in danger. This is just one of them. The second is Li Liangzuo's defeat in the attack on Dashun City, and he will be seriously injured and killed. If the Liang family seized Dashun City, not only will he avenge her husband, but his status in Xixia will be consolidated."

"Where is the Liang family from Han?"

"Han Deran is also a Han Chinese. Are they not loyal to the Khitan? Murong Yanzhao, Dangjin, Kang Yanze brothers, and the Zhe family army are all foreigners. Are they not loyal to our Song Dynasty? The Anshi Rebellion should be punished, but they cannot be soldiers. Not to mention that they are the Empress Dowager of a country and their son is the leader of a country. There are many Han people in the Xixia and Liao countries, but there are also many foreign barbarians in our dynasty. If they are not integrated and they will be divided, they will inevitably be in chaos. Moreover, there are many foreign soldiers in the western front who are fighting bloody battles for our dynasty!"

Wu Chong's old face turned red and asked again: "The location of Qingzhou is so important, why doesn't Li Yuanhao attack him?"

"Mr. Wu, Li Yuanhao is not the two stupid guys Li Liangzuo and Liang."

Wang Anshi was speechless. He was the lord of a country and the queen mother, but he became a fool.

Wang Ju continued: "Although Li Yuanhao was defeated, he was defeated by Yu Siluo and defeated by Zhang Kang. However, in terms of strategic vision, few people could match. Therefore, he formed troops on Fulin Road, Fuyan Road and Jingyuan Road. Because using troops in these three routes will not pose a fatal threat to our dynasty. If you can, you can occupy it. If you can't occupy it, you can use these routes to defeat our dynasty's army."

“Why?”

"Build a country! Why do you need to build a country? Just look at Tubo? Because Yu Siluo was not established. Once he died, Tubo was divided into pieces. Even his descendants ignored the feud between Tubo and Dangxiang, and some people actually had a relationship with the people of Xixia. However, when Xixia was established, it was certain that the orthodox. Therefore, from Li Liangzuo to the current Liang family, the country was generally stable, at least not divided. This is the role of orthodox. So when he heard that Li Yuanhao had established himself as the king, Renzong was furious, and the Liao Kingdom also became extremely dissatisfied with Li Yuanhao."

"If Li Yuanhao is in Qingzhou, our dynasty and Li Yuanhao will never stop. Is this not good for Li Yuanhao?"

"Mr. Wu said this. Qingzhou is too close to Chang'an. Although Li Yuanhao had once arrived in Chang'an, he only threatened him for a moment and then withdrew his troops back. Then our court gave him 255,000 yuan and recognized him as the king of the country. In addition, the Liao Kingdom sent troops, so Li Yuanhao never used troops in the northwest again. Before his death, he left a will to prevent future generations from getting into evil with our court. But Li Liangzuo was cautious and tried to swallow the elephant. Therefore, after a few years of in charge of power, he attacked Dashun City. The Liang family was still like this."

"They were defeated last time."

"Yes, but now the Liao Kingdom supports it and verbally promises to send troops to help. In addition, they may gather 300,000 troops. Is it impossible to capture Dashun City? If you take Dashun City and Qingzhou's portal is lost, what can you use to stop the advance of the 300,000 troops?"

"Madman, this woman is a madman. Does she ignore the people of Xixia?" Feng Jing cursed.

How many households and troops in Xixia are there? This is a mystery. First of all, the army. In the later years of Li Yuanhao, the 18th Army Military Supervision Office was established and the chief tyrants were divided into commands. The Beihetao went to Woloniang Mountain to prepare for the Khitan, Baibao City to Tiandu Mountain, 50,000 troops, the Song army on Huanqing and Jingyuan Road, 50,000 troops in Youzhou, the Song army on Fuyan Road and Fulin Road, 30,000 troops in Ganzhou, 50,000 troops in Ganzhou, 50,000 troops in Helan Mountain, 50,000 troops in Lingzhou, 70,000 troops in Xingqing Prefecture, and the whole country was in charge. That is, at that time, the troops in Xixia reached 370,000 troops.

In the Western Xia military system, men must enter the reserve service at the age of ten, and from the age of fifteen to sixty, they must bring their own armor, armor, bows and arrows to carry out their own operations. If they conceal it, they will be punished severely. The number of people in a household is definitely more than one, so some people think that there are only 300,000 households in Xixia. This is also the reason why Wang Anshi said that the number of households in Shaanxi alone is four times that of Xixia.

But in fact, it is more than 300,000 households.

For example, in the Hexi Corridor, in such a plump place, are there only more than 20,000 households?

This is the same as the Song Dynasty. There are policies from top to top and countermeasures from bottom to bottom. Systems are systems, and this may not be the case when implemented. So Wang Ju’s statement is more accurate, that is, the number of households in the entire Xixia would reach 700,000. This is also the reason why the Xixia army later expanded to more than 600,000.

However, because Xixia is poor and wars are endless, each household is far less than that of the Song Dynasty. Even if there are 700,000 households, the population is at most 3 million, not more than four million. The number of households is only two-thirds of Shaanxi Road, and the population is only half of Shaanxi Road. Apart from the desert area, the area of ​​Xixia is not as large as Shaanxi Road. However, except for the Guanzhong area, Shaanxi Road is also a mountainous area, but Xixia has the Lingxia Plain and Hexi Corridor. Therefore, Wang Ju's statement has been recognized by many ministers.

But according to Wang Ju, the two families will have to fight.

Or to make an analogy, if the Song Dynasty also learned from the Western Xia, the entire north would draw more than three million troops, what burden would it bring to the country and the people?

Besides, if 300,000 troops were drawn out, wouldn’t other regions send troops to stay? Therefore, Feng Jing said that the Liang family was crazy.

Wang Ju snorted coldly: "Not necessarily, if Xixia successfully takes over Dashun City and Qingzhou, just plundering will make up for the consumption of this dispatch."

This is also the sadness and dilemma of the Central Plains dynasty. If the Central Plains dynasty wants to send troops, it must carry a lot of logistics. However, as long as the Hu Fan invaded the Central Plains dynasty was not defeated, it could guarantee part of the logistics supply by just plundering.

The cost of the two soldiers is too big.

Wang Ju said this, and everyone began to believe that Wang Ju provided this message to be reliable, but all the people changed color, 300,000 yuan. Think about how many real troops Cao Cao went to Jiangnan.

"Transfer troops." Chen Shengzhidao.

"How to mobilize troops? Most of the Western Xia are cavalry and move quickly. Our dynasty is too late to mobilize troops now, and we are mobilizing troops. What is the finance? Or we can mobilize troops from other routes in Shaanxi, and the other routes are empty, so that the Western Xia will take the opportunity to invade." Wen Yanbo said.

Zhao Xu was so anxious that he rubbed his head. It will not be continued.
