Chapter 420: Spending Money to Buy Taiping? Zhao Song’s previous experience!.

“Sir, ahead is our barracks!”

In the desert, a group of about 100 men and horses was trudging through the arduous trek.

Everyone in this team had traces of wind and sand on their faces, and even their lips were so thirsty that they cracked. Among them, the eyes of the leader were even densely bloodshot.

This group of people and horses is the envoy of the Guzi Kingdom.

It is said that it is the envoy of the Guzi Kingdom, in fact, before this messenger traveled, it was also discussed by the King of Guzi and King Gaochang. They also learned from the medicine Luo Ge Khan of the Ganzhou Uighur that this Great Zhou was not easy to mess with.

So I also thought that if I could not start a war, I would try not to start a war.

After all, once a war starts, if it can block the Zhou army, it may also have to suffer heavy losses and consume countless money, food and military resources. If they can’t be beaten, then even their territory can’t be saved, and their net worth and lives.

Therefore, they sent an eloquent person from the Guzi Kingdom as a secret envoy, in the name of the Guzi Kingdom, to test the attitude of the Great Zhou Tianzi.

If the Great Zhou Tianzi could accept the title of Gong Nagong, then from now on, they would be willing to give a part of their tax revenue as tribute to the Great Zhou and become the vassal state of the Great Zhou.

But they retained their power and wealth in the Western Regions.

If this is the case, it can be counted as a joy for everyone.

After all, it is much more appropriate to pay a certain amount of tribute on time than to lose a lot of wealth in war, or to lose all your wealth after defeat.

This is not the first way they think of this approach.

When Zhao Song had not yet perished, he was also a big household.

Zhao Song had money but did not want to start a war with the Liao State and Western Xia, and did not want to waste the money in the military expenses of the war, so he paid a certain amount of money to the Liao State and Western Xia every year in exchange for the Liao State and Western Xia not going to war.

In the first few years, it did have some effect.

After all, the years coins that Zhao Song gave to the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia were only two or three hundred thousand taels worth of wealth. However, if Zhao Song raised troops, the cost of each war would have to be millions of taels at every turn.

It is not necessarily possible to win.

Winning a war doesn’t necessarily last long.

It’s just that the peace gained by spending money will not last long after all.

The Liao Kingdom was okay, but Western Xia still had uninterrupted friction with Zhao and Song not long after.

……

The war between Zhao and Song and Western Xia has not stopped for hundreds of years. Therefore, a Western army that can fight well has been sharpened.

It can be seen that it is unrealistic and not long-term to buy peace by spending money.

It’s a pity that this King of Guzi and King Gaochang did not realize that this matter was drinking to quench their thirst.

Of course, they didn’t have a chance to drink and quench their thirst, because Chai Hao, the heroic son of Zhou Tianzi, didn’t give them this opportunity at all.

At this moment, at the edge of the desert, outside the forward camp of the Guzi and Gaochang coalition forces, the envoy of the Guzi country, with red eyes, came to the camp gate, and rushed to the camp impatiently.

“Quick, I want to meet the two great kings and convey the reply of the Great Zhou Emperor!”

The messenger could not care about anything, and with a tired step, he rushed towards the camp.

The trek for several days made him extremely tired, and even because he was worried that the Great Zhou would send troops quickly, he traveled day and night all the way, even sleeping on camels, and finally shortened the time, and in less than ten days, he came here.

At the same time, it also brought the answer of Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi… Knife…
