Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 987

That is, at noon the next day, Ma Kuo and Wu Xuan arrived, faster than expected. Wang Xiu was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are more anxious than me!"

Ma Kuo is over [-] years old, and he is still full of energy. He traveled north and south with his father and brother more than ten years ago, and wiped his ass for the court every time.

Since the imperial court moved to the south, he has spent ten years in the local area, and his life is so lonely. He was finally appointed as the comfort envoy of the north, and he went to Koryo to comfort Fusang. Missed the hour.Excited by Wang Xiu's humor, he clasped his hands and said, "The official came late, and it is really a sin to make Mr. Xiang wait for a long time."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, come and have a cup of hot tea." Wang Xiu laughed.

Everyone sat down, Wu Xuan glanced at Wang Xiu, and said excitedly: "Uncle Shi, we will set off as soon as the fleet arrives."

Wang Xiu shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not in such a hurry. We have to rest for a few days before going to sea. We still have to discuss how to let Goryeo sell the outer islands. Oh, I have already thought about the name. Outside the river, Yidi Huaju is called Ganghwa Island."

Ma Kuo's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, let Goryeo sell the outer islands. That's an island close to Kaesong. I'm afraid they will shirk it." It is Kaesong.

If it were someone else, he would definitely yell at Fantasia, and he would speak nonsense without looking at any place. Although it is a barbaric land, it is close to Kaesong, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.However, speaking from Wang Xiu's mouth, it might really come true. He stared at Wang Xiu with a burning gaze.

Wu Xuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Wang Xiu in shock.

At the same time, in Xingqing, thousands of miles away, Ren Dejing completely voted for Li Renxiao and became one of his most staunch supporters, and because of the empress dowager's relationship, the degree to which he was valued was determined.

However, the current situation is not clear. The Xia army's attack in the direction of Yanzhou has no special impact. Nearly 5 people camped in the northwest against 10,000+ Xia army. It should be [-] tigers and wolves, but they can still hold on. People are crazy.

To truly become the person in power, in addition to achieving military breakthroughs, he also needs to win over King Chage of Jin and eliminate King Li Renzhong of Pu.Brother Cha is an old man who is greedy for money, but it is not difficult to take him down. The Song Army is beyond his control. The most important thing is to get rid of Li Renzhong, which is the top priority.

Just when the news came that the Gansu army had failed and was captured by Shao Xing, Li Renxiao decided to send another [-] garrison troops to advance eastward.

The garrison had [-] regular soldiers, and another [-] regular soldiers had been transferred. Tens of thousands of regular soldiers had already set off to fight, and Xingqing's defense was nearly half empty.

Ordinarily, this kind of shit is normal. If you increase troops to break through the front line, anyone would do it. It's just that the generals who were mobilized are a few generals who have always been close to Li Renzhong. It happened that sparks fell on the dry wood, and Li Renzhong couldn't sit still immediately. , and finally had an operation on him.

In a private house in Xingqing, Jiang Yun was sitting in the hall, leaning against a hot charcoal basin, leisurely eating wine and tasting the delicacies of the Northwest. Opposite him was Ren Chuncong, the future star of the Ren family. .

Jiang Yun, a senior envoy of the Western Machine Speed ​​Bureau of the Machine Speed ​​Division, is in charge of strongholds in Xingqing, Xipingfu, Jingzhou and other places. He was also a good comrade in arms of Qin Min. It is very interesting where he appears as a veteran of the company, and it is even more interesting to sit with Ren Chuncong.

Ren Chuncong was also calculating in his heart, he didn't know Jiang Yun's true identity, but it didn't mean he didn't know that Jiang Yun was connected with Nanchao. believe.

The reason why he contacted Jiang Yun was also Ren Deren's intention. After all, people cannot hang themselves on a tree. Slowly develop the relationship with the Southern Dynasties, there is no retreat, no, people will not be destroyed for themselves!
Ren Deren has an official position, but it is difficult to show up, so as not to implicate the family, Ren Chuncong is a good choice.

Jiang Yun also understood very well in his heart, and after a while of unnutritive words, he said slowly: "Brother! Once the court sends troops, my business will not be easy to do. I am afraid that this year's share will be much less."

The corner of Ren Chuncong's mouth twitched. Naturally, he felt sorry for money. Every year, he could get tens of thousands of money to make his family's life easier.

You must know that the area where the party members founded the country is not large, and the domestic economy mainly depends on horses and green and white salt, but also maintains a huge army. The finances are very difficult, and the salaries of officials are not high. Compared with the generous treatment of the Song Dynasty, it is simply beggar.Especially for Han officials without tribes and territories, life is quite difficult.

A little less, that is to say, I have suffered a loss, how can I not feel sad, but for the sake of family affairs, I still endured it, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone, I can't let my brother pay back, that's too shameful."

Jiang Yun was contemptuous in his heart, but this guy was insincere, and he said with a smile on his face: "I can't let you suffer too much, as I said there, now it's a war, and the contacts are going to be discovered, so it's hard for us to handle. We have to go, anyway. When the war is over, the business must continue.”

Ren Chuncong caught the tail of the words in an instant, and said calmly: "Three-way conquest, advancing steadily, this is a war to destroy the country, and what will happen next?"

"Cut, the Great Xia has stood in the northwest for a hundred years, how can it be said to be destroyed, and besides, Wang Xianggong doesn't have that kind of thought in the desolate northwestern neighbor." Jiang Yunfeng said lightly.

It is really sad that the environment in the Northwest has deteriorated. Although there are successive battles and the influence of herding horses, the Song Dynasty's fortress strategy against the party members was a fatal blow to the deterioration of the environment in the Northwest.

In order to prevent the Xia army from attacking cavalry, in addition to those big cities, more than [-] castles were built on the edge of Shaanxi. Known as the Tianshui clan, they can't change their indifference. In order to defend the pass, they can sacrifice the northwest environment.

It has to be said that even if the Song Dynasty was severely beaten by the Jin army, it could still gain the upper hand against the Xia army. These fortresses contributed a lot, like a big net, restricting the Xia army's cavalry.

Ren Chuncong smacked his lips, heartbroken, Song Dynasty didn't mean to destroy the country?This is too mysterious, after all, I couldn't bear it anymore, and asked tentatively: "Where did the news come from, it doesn't look like this momentum."
