After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the biggest change he made was to make three points of military power and three points of ministerial power.

The military power is divided into Western Prefecture, three yamen and three parts. It is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. If it is bad, looking at the Song and Ming dynasties, there are almost no incidents such as the rise of the kings and the generals of the rebellion. Although there are, it cannot cause the country to fall into the chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang dynasties.

But to say it is good, no matter whether it is the Song or Ming, except for a few moments, there is almost no such might as the Han and Tang dynasties.

Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you think deeper, for example, if the general does not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the general, and the general is not familiar with his subordinates, can this battle be fought well?

Song Jiu made controversial reforms when Zhao Kuangyi completely took down the power of the governor.

First, the transfer of the injunction from the city to the countryside was very troublesome at the time, but in the long run, this was a very positive change.

The cost of raising soldiers has decreased, and the cost of raising soldiers has also decreased. Leaving the prosperity and glitz of the capital, soldiers will be more simple and their combat effectiveness will be improved.

When you arrive at the border, you are also farming at home. If you don’t change much of your living habits, you can extend the time of garrisoning. By garrisoning in batches, at least the masters who stay on the border will understand the situation of some soldiers and facilitate command.

When the Song Dynasty was just starting to implement it, some chaos and controversy occurred, and many soldiers rented the land to the people. In fact, the scale of the land in the Song Dynasty was not small in history, but they were also making this problem. This is not only because the soldiers were lazy, but they were from the capital, so how could they farm? However, once 70 to 80% of the soldiers turned into rural soldiers, this situation would not occur. There was a lot of idle land on the border. As long as they were cultivated, the border could often achieve self-sufficiency in food and grass, which saved a lot of costs.

In fact, that reform was a good correction to Zhao Kuangyin's three-point military power.

As long as the implementation continues, the situation of being trapped in redundant soldiers and expenses after the Song Dynasty would be greatly improved.

But in the three-point phase, Song Jiu made a regressive change.

Zhao Kuangyin used the power of the East and West governments and the Three Divisions to help centralize power and reduce the possibility of powerful ministers who ruined the country and usurped the country.

However, Zhao Kuangyin also realized that there were various inconveniences, so the implementation of this third-partition power was very vague.

Until Song Jiu returned, the actual main power was still in the Secretariat.

Song Jiu clearly distinguished the power and responsibilities of the East and West governments and did not interfere with each other. Then the Western Palace had military power, but no administrative power, and no financial power. The Three Divisions had financial power, but no administrative power and military power, the Eastern Palace had administrative power, but no military power and financial power. Even the Western Palace had military power, but no military power, and no financial support. Then the rights in the hands of the emperor could be strengthened.

Zhao Kuangyi was a lame duck in military terms and could not see its disadvantages. He only saw that it was beneficial to the king to concentrate his power, so he happily agreed to Song Jiu's approach.

Can they be clearly distinguished?

For example, when we go to the front line to mobilize troops and raise troops, we don’t even know how much the national fiscal revenue is. Can we make the best decision? When the war comes, the Xifu does not know the national government affairs. The East Fu does not know the Xifu military plan, and can we make the best decision?

But without Song Jiu, the Song Dynasty would also change to the above. It was not until Fu Bi saw through this drawback and proposed a similar approach to Zhao Kuangyi in Bashu, allowing the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture to serve as the Eastern Prefecture, and the Prime Minister of the Eastern Prefecture also served as the Western Prefecture. In this way, we will understand each other and make no major mistakes in decision-making. However, it was not implemented well.

So Li Jipang returned to the court.

The Dangxiang people originally lived in the grasslands of Songfan to the southern part of Qinghai, and the Tuyuhun people were located in the north and west of Qinghai.

The history of migration to the north was earlier, and it was found during the Sui Dynasty, but it had not yet formed a scale. Until the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the Dangxiang talents were forced by the Tubo people to migrate to Longyou and Qingling Yinxia on a large scale based on clans. Until the Tianbao period, this was the first large-scale migration of the Dangxiang people.

After the Anshi Rebellion, it turned out that the tribes of Longyou migrated to Qingxia Yanling again, while the Yanling in Qingxia migrated to Yinsui, and some even crossed the Yellow River to reach the Hedong area. This was the second internal migration of Dangxiang.

During the Tang Dynasty, people may not pay much attention, but they can be seen by the Song Dynasty. This made the entire Yinchuan Plain and the North and South Hetao region become the base camp of the Dangxiang people, laying the foundation for the rise of Western Xia.

However, the Tuoba clan was not strong at that time. According to the clan division, there were six major palaces, including Yeliyue poems, Yelilonger, Yelijuelu, Erhuang, Yehai and Yeliu, and Yeli occupied three of them. According to the regional division, the Dongshan tribe in Qingzhou area and the Pingxia tribe in Yinxia area. The Tuoba clan was still very small.

It was not until the Huang Chao Uprising that the son of Li Chongjian, Tuoba Sigong, assisted Emperor Xizong of Tang to fight against Zhu Wen. Although he was defeated in this battle, Zhu Wen then surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Tuoba Sigong and Li Keyong assisted the officers and soldiers to expel Huang Chao from Chang'an. Thus, he obtained the righteousness of separating the Xia and Sui prefectures. Later, Li Sigong took advantage of the Zhu Mei rebellion and sent his younger brother to take Yanfu, and his strength became even stronger. Then he rose and fell, and the northwest became three parts, Xia Sui Yinyu's Tuoba clan, Fulin's Zhe clan, and Qingling's West Road Dangxiang. The six major palaces became five noble surnames, Xifeng, Feiting, Zhe clan, Yeli, Tuoba, and Tuoba the strongest. As well as thousands of other strange surnames, such as Niu'er, Customer, Pheasant, etc.

But at this time, they still rely on the Central Plains to rely on the Central Plains, and even used tribute horses to obtain rewards from the Central Plains to survive. The Han people still had an influence on this area. For example, during the Later Liang Dynasty, Tuoba Sijian died, and his grandson Tuoba Yichang was established and was attacked and killed by the Han general Gaozongyi. However, the Dangxiangren then established Tuoba Yichang's uncle and Li Sigong's son Li Renfu defeated Gaozongyi again.

When he heard the civil strife in Xiazhou, Li Maozhen, nearby asked Li Cunxu to join forces with 50,000 troops to attack Li Renfu. Li Renfu asked Houliang for help, and Houliang sent Li Yu to rescue him. With Li Renfu's tenacity, the two men retreated. As a result, Tuoba's family was preserved.

The Later Tang replaced the Later Liang and sent troops to Xiazhou. However, the city of Xiazhou was strong at this time, and the transportation of the Later Tang Dynasty was difficult. In addition, the Tuoba family was retiring for decades when they took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains. So Li Renfu's son Li Yichao defeated the Later Tang army. However, they were still afraid of the Central Plains dynasty and then paid tribute. However, this battle further established the prestige of the Tuoba family.

In the Later Jin Dynasty, Li Yichao died of illness and Xiazhou was in chaos. However, at this time, the Later Jin Dynasty was forced to go south by the Khitan army and had no time to look west. He even sent Li Yimin and others who had defected to the Later Jin Dynasty to return to Xiazhou for execution. He lost another great opportunity. In the Later Han Dynasty, Li Shouzhen and other three towns rebelled and even asked Li Yiyin to send troops to help Xiazhou. He did not want to deal with Xiazhou. Moreover, although Li Yiyin sent troops, Ming Dynasty actually cheered for Li Shoulu in order to help the Later Han Dynasty.

That is, good luck that goes against the will of heaven, coupled with the careful management of several generations of wise rulers, the Tuoba Li family has gradually strengthened their strength in this crack.

Then in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong had no time to take care of the West, but Chai Rong made a wise move to support the Zhe family! If the Zhe family had not been in the northwest, compared with the later history of the Song Dynasty, how bad would it have been?

When the Tuoba Li family arrived in the Song Dynasty, they were always very careful.

The Song Dynasty was unifying the Central Plains, so they silently looked at their existence. However, Zhao Kuangyin was not as far-sighted as Chai Rong and did not make any move to weaken this strength. Even if Song Jiu deliberately advised him.

The Li family was also afraid. Li Yiyin died, and his son Li Guangrui succeeded to the throne. In the ninth year of Kaibao, Dangjin and Pan Mei sent troops to Hedong. Li Guangrui sent troops to help and conquer Wubao Village in the northern Han Dynasty. After Li Guangrui's death, Li Jiyun succeeded to the throne, and Zhao Guangyi sent troops to the Northern Han Dynasty. Li Jiyun lined up camp along the Yellow River and crossed the river to Zhang Shengshi. After Li Jiyun's death, his younger brother Li Jibang succeeded to the throne. Due to his lack of prestige, he also made his younger brother Li Jibang the queen, which aroused resentment from his father Kun. Li Jibang followed his father Li Kewen to express his advice. Li Jibang was incapable of being the governor of the army and asked him to send envoys to let Li Jibang enter the court.

Seeing that a great opportunity to split the Party Xiang and weaken the Tuoba Li family, Zhao Kuangyi agreed to Li Kewen's advice, as Li Kewenquan was the governor of Xiazhou, and with the deputy envoy of the workshop, Yin Xian, the governor of the Qiang and Han people, shared this land together with the Qiang and Han!

Li Kewen was in trouble internally and externally, so he had to give up his four prefectures and eight counties (Yinxia Suiyu) in charge and bring his family to Beijing.

This is the inconvenience of the three-point phase.

Even Zhao Kuangyi could not explain clearly whether the matter in the northwest was subject to the jurisdiction of the East Prefecture or the West Prefecture.

Zhao Pu became prime minister again, Cao Bin was a good person, and most of the real power of the Western Prefecture was invaded by the Eastern Prefecture, so after Song Jiu came to the Western Prefecture, he did not know much about the situation in the northwest.

Many scouts were sent to explore the wool trade routes, to win over Daming, and to divide the Khitan Daming to search for information in the northwest. However, the time was too hasty, and no news has been heard back in front of him.

In other words, when the court operated Li Jipang's return to Beijing, Song Jiu was always in the valley.

But because of Song Jiu, the court sent many scouts to the northwest, and the East Palace was also hidden in the valley.

Something big happened.

Song Jiu looked at everyone, who would have thought that, on the contrary, some people showed joyful smiles on their faces. The coming of all countries to pay tribute and the slums to the heads is a manifestation of a strong country.

Song Jiu would not think so, he was thinking.

Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?

Opportunities are fleeting, and this is a rare opportunity. Not to mention the national view, this is the era of the country, including the civilized and developed Han people, who did not form groups, and they were Dangxiang people. The court did not move a soldier, and even had no use of conspiracies, but instead followed the public's opinion and let Li Ji return to the court. Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?

The imperial court had already dispatched troops in Lingzhou, including a few troops, and was still in custody. However, it was a symbol that the imperial court controlled this area. However, it was difficult to continue to build China in the four prefectures and eight counties? Did Zhao Kuangyi make a mistake?

Zhao Kuangyi wanted to restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties and the prosperous period of the Han and Tang dynasties, and did not require the army to reach the Pamir Mountains and Pyongyang, but at least it went to Yingzhou in the northeast, to Rinan County in Jiaozhi in the southwest, to control the Raohe Huangshui area in the eastern part of Riyueling in Qinghai in the southwest, and to achieve true unification at the west. That is, to take back the four prefectures of Dingnan, it was only a small step taken. Did Zhao Kuangyi make a mistake?

The capital of the Song Dynasty was Kaifeng, and the four prefectures of the Dingnan provinces were not very threatening, but the military significance was very important, and it was nothing more than war horses! The troops in the Song Dynasty were not weak, but there was no strong cavalry. Cui Yanjin, Li Jilong and Li Hanqiong could win a great victory in the city. If there was no strong cavalry, could Pan Mei and Yang Ye achieve a great victory in Yanmen? However, it has been proved that the Central Plains cannot raise horses well and even raise many horses to death, then is it not important to pay the northwest? Is it difficult for Zhao Kuangyi to take it back?

During the process, the Song Dynasty did not intimidate. Even if Li Jipang lost power and returned to the court, Zhao Kuangyi rewarded officials and gold and silver. Even if Li Jipang contributed to the four counties of Dingnan, Zhao Kuangyi was not impatient and directly controlled the management. Instead, he was headed by Li Kewen and supplemented by the Han official Yin Xian, showing enough respect. Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?

Song Jiu proposed to differentiate and open up the wool trade route. If there were only three trade routes, one was to Fuzhou to Fengzhou, cross the river to Beihetao, and then reach Helan Mountain, from Helan Mountain to Juyanhai, and from Juyanhai to Juyanhai. However, this road is so close to the Khitan, will the Khitan sit and watch? This road is no longer a choice.

In fact, there are only two business roads to choose from, from Fuzhou to Lingzhou and then to Helan Mountain, from Fuzhou to Taiyuan, from Qingzhou to Lingzhou, and from Qingzhou to Chang'an. However, these two roads must pass through the four counties of Dingnan. Zhao Kuangyi took advantage of this rare opportunity to slightly strengthen control over the four counties of Dingnan. Did he do something wrong?

He must have done something wrong, but Song Jiu didn't know what was wrong.

He didn't know much about this history, so he couldn't use his golden finger to correct it.

In fact, he knew that this history had long been distorted. Many bricks criticized randomly, saying that Zhao Kuangyi was completely fucked. Therefore, Song Jiu had little opinion on the reference, and might distort Song Jiu's thinking.

He thought desperately.

Later, Sanchao arrived at Xifu and opened the map of the northwest.

I saw nothing, but instead I saw Hengshan and frowned.

The reason for this is the same as the enhanced shallow attack tactic he proposed earlier. From Dongyizhou to Hedong, the borders of Song and Liao countries were mostly Chongshan ridges. Here, the Liao army's cavalry was not very advantageous and was easy to build forts to control on important roads. At the same time, these forts were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Liao army came to defend, and the Liao army continued to harass, which eventually forced the Liao army to run away and recover Yanyun at the lowest cost.

The fundamental reason for conceiving this strategy is Shan.

Zhao Kuangyi obeyed half of the people, set up a few village soldiers, and added forts to the border, so that he became an imperial guard rather than an attack. Song Jiu did not force him, because Pan Mei did not.

This has to be done slowly.

Moreover, the border was strengthened, which restrained the Liao army and prevented it from attacking Liaodong with all its might, which also made Song Jiu temporarily satisfied.

But now the Hengshan Mountains will become the source of Song Jiu’s headache.

So he asked Cao Bin: "General Cao, I will make a hypothesis."

"Yi'an, what's the assumption?"
