"Wu Ren!"
The Liao envoy Yeluqi, wrapped in a wolf robe, slapped the document on the table, "My good neighbor, what are you doing?"
Grassland Hushi, Wu and Liao are in common control.
Hushi in the Liao Kingdom was connected to the Silk Road in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the benefits were not comparable to those in the Hushi in the Wu Dynasty.
Compared with the Wu Dynasty, which squeezed out the value of the household market, the Liao Dynasty looked down upon them at all. If the Han people hadn't ignored them, the Liao people would not have earned as much as the Song Dynasty people.
Unfortunately, the Han people would rather take the sea route through the Ming Dynasty and detour out of Kyushu after the Tang Dynasty, than cooperate with the Liao Kingdom.
Other nomadic ethnic groups on the grassland also ignored him. The Jurchens, Mongols, and Tatars even surrounded the Liao Kingdom from east to west.
If the Wu Dynasty opened the household market out of appeasement and maintenance of stability, the Liao Kingdom's household market was simply forced to bleed with a horseshoe scimitar, but in this way they made more money than the Wu Dynasty.
As neighboring countries, in addition to racial conflicts, the two countries also have blood debts in troubled times. Logically speaking, the two countries should not enjoy peace.
But reality and logic are contrary. The blood debt caused by the Liao Kingdom lies in Bingzhou, not Jizhou.
The Wu Dynasty rose from Jizhou, first conquered Qingzhou, and then cut down the grasslands. After establishing a firm foothold, it swallowed up Bingzhou, and the core interest groups had no place for the people of Bingzhou.
We wage war against Liao for the blood debt of Bingzhou. If we win, we won't gain much, but if we lose, we will have to fight together!
Even a fool knows how to choose, let alone the Jizhou clan and Qingzhou Haoqiang, which have been passed down for nearly a thousand years.
The same logic also occurred in the Liao Kingdom.
The north is bitterly cold, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Taking over more and less is just a cosmetic project, and the actual benefits are just that.
If the Liao Kingdom wanted to go further, it had only two choices: go west or south.
To the west, the Silk Road was a two-way channel of interests. The Han people did not provide sources of goods, and the similar people on the grasslands kept causing trouble, and they really couldn't lead them.
Then the only thing left was to go south and invade the Song Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty.
There is no core conflict and the same reason is regarded as an outlier by all forces in Kyushu. Why are Wu and Liao fighting?
If Wu was not a Han and Liao was a Khitan, and their blood and cultures were mutually exclusive, the two countries would have formed an alliance long ago.
Except forty years ago, in order to prevent the Wu Dynasty from becoming stronger in one fell swoop, the Liao Kingdom joined a multinational alliance and sent troops from Yongzhou to Bingzhou. At other times, the borders between the two countries were in a state of mutual defenselessness, and that time forty years ago, The Liao State only restrained a part of its troops, and the war did not start, and even plundering did not occur.
Later, the Wu Dynasty fell into a long-term dilemma, and the Liao Kingdom also made up for it privately, otherwise the Wu Dynasty would be even worse now.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. If there is any problem, let's leave it to the upper house officials to deal with!" Yeluqi shook his head.
Hushi, the warriors can open it if they want.
If the Wu Dynasty wants to get out of the predicament, it is still early to do something. Even if the first one is unlucky, it will not be the Liao Kingdom. Yeluqi has nothing to worry about.
To be honest, he was upset because this time the warrior broke the tacit understanding of the report, preventing him from explaining it to him immediately.
"Mr. Minister, the Ministry of Rites has just handed over the documents, and General Zonghe will come to visit tomorrow!"
The door opened, and a strong man wrapped in white wolf skin walked into the room.
"It seems our neighbors haven't forgotten it yet!"
Hearing this, Yeluqi smiled.
Today is the eighth day of October, and tomorrow is the ninth day. When November comes, all overseas missions will be expelled. The Liao mission had packed their things a few days ago.
If there hadn't been some rumors during this period, Yeluqi would have run away with his troops long ago.
"Our neighbors have been really busy lately. Just this morning, four teams of carriages came from the direction of Nantong Prefecture. Judging from the family crests on the carriages, the people coming are quite extraordinary!" the strong man laughed.
The Liao Kingdom was not afraid of the military men causing trouble, but they were afraid that the military men would let them guess.
The systems of the six countries are similar, but the underlying systems are completely different.
The Khitan established the Liao Kingdom under the Han system, but they were not Han people and could not get the support of elite Han people. When faced with various conspiracies and conspiracies, the method they adopted was often straightforward, that is, fighting...
In terms of intelligence, the pagoda in the Liao Kingdom also had a very bad reputation, but his family knew about his own affairs.
The warriors packaged themselves in a similar way to the Liao people, but at their core they were still the same as the Han people.
Perhaps the Wu Dynasty has some shortcomings in top-level strategic planning, but this shortcoming is relative. The key military personnel also know how to make up for themselves. The Document Division, which is the best in the world in espionage, is not just for show.
"Okay, let's call everyone back. You should know that we will know tomorrow. The warriors don't want us to know, so let's not touch them. Get ready to leave the city tomorrow afternoon!" Yeluqi said in a deep voice.
The Wu Dynasty was able to send Zong Heguo over for the recent events, and the attitude was good. The tacit understanding continued, and the Liao people naturally had to give feedback.
How the warriors will play the next game of chess, as long as it doesn't fall on the Liao Kingdom, Yeluqi doesn't care.
"clear!"
Zongheguo, the eldest grandson of the Zong family, was named a viscount in his infancy, and was promoted to Earl Leyi at the coming-of-age ceremony. At a time when the royal family is not as active as the adult legitimate son of the Zong family, Zongheguo not only represents the Bohai clan, but also wears a royal aura. .
If this person can come, Liao Guo's worried heart will be relieved.
…
The gate of the small courtyard was removed, and boxes of things were unloaded under the manual handling.
"Do you have much to prepare?"
Why winter hunting, what winter hunting can bring, the equation is somewhat clear under the explanation of the Li brothers, but looking at the stacked boxes, I should be dumbfounded.
There are too many things, not to mention the Li brothers, but also the remaining twenty-seven people who have not yet met.
"In order to prevent accidents, the members of the winter hunting team cannot be composed of one family. According to the summons, we are the Thirty Regiment. Sir, he only has a military position. With the summons in hand, he must be the leader. According to the rules, if there is a harvest, sir, you Each person can get 40%, and our station is near the Emerald Lake!"
"Emerald Lake, also known as Dongzhu Lake, there will definitely be girls in our team by then. The weather is good and the protection is sufficient. I don't need to ask. These girls will go to the lake to find pearls by themselves, and sell them directly to us after landing. , you are lucky enough to get a good one!" Li Yannian pointed at the thing in front of him, "These are all back. If there are not enough good ones, there will be no loss in the end. At most, it is the difference between making more and less!"
The bitter cold in the north has made the grassland even more difficult. The backward tribes such as Zhen Nu Zhen, in order to survive hundreds of years ago with the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the blockade of Youzhou, they ran out of Heishan Baishui. Most of them were captured by mature Nu Zhen, and a small number With the Wu Dynasty's northern expedition to the grassland, he fell into the arms of the Wu Dynasty.
Taking the Anshi Rebellion as an example, the Wu Dynasty could not completely accept them, but considering the value of cannon fodder, this group of people lived a good life, at least better than being treated as slaves by mature women and goods.
I'm afraid of comparison in everything. After more than two hundred years of assimilation, Zeng Jin's biological girls are actually more mature than mature girls.
"It's really cruel!"
"It's all the same!" Li Yanting smiled, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. It is not difficult to give birth to a girl and become a real soldier, and it is not difficult to accumulate meritorious deeds. However, no one in the court is willing to really be their backer. So far, they have retained Who knows why they have the habit of fishing for pearls in winter, but to be honest, if you meet someone you like, you might as well take it in and become a dog!"
"Let's talk about this later!" Fang Fang nodded silently.
Prevention is prevention, and captivity is captivity. The Duwu people have always mastered it very well. The wolves that have been tamed for hundreds of years have also become dogs. Fang Fang has thought about this before, but maybe he has never had the opportunity to come into contact with it.
"Master!"
At this moment, a shout drew Equation's attention.
