Chapter 1337 This is the old method used by Xixia to invade and swallow Xinjiang
Chapter 1337
Although Zhe Keshi said seriously that he was definitely not here to drink, it was almost noon at this time. Could it be that Gao Shi could still drive away his colleagues who were both wine and rice?
I could only leave this guy to eat and drink in my mansion. Zhe Keshi poured a large glass of fine wine and wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It has been a year since sir, right?"
"Yes, counting the days, it's really been one year. Over the past year, our Shaanxi North Road can be considered calm." Gao Shize nodded and replied.
"Now our Shaanxi North Road is rich, almost no less than that of the Shaanxi Road. It is the country and the people are safe and sound, and the soldiers are strong and the only thing that is not good is that the soldiers are too idle. In the past year, there has been no war, and their morale has been much slackened..."
"What do you want to do?" Hearing Zhe Keshi's words, Gao Shize suddenly stood up and looked at the military boss of Shaanxi North Road.
"It's not what Zhe wants to do, but Lord Gao, don't you see what Xixia is doing?" Zhe Keshi showed a strange smile and pointed to the West.
"What's wrong with Xixia?" Gao Shize couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sat upright.
"Before, Xixia only dared to develop north and northwest, but during this period, it began to become ready to move. Just last night, Zhe just received a message that the Xixia herdsmen began to build villages two hundred miles east of Yaode City due to the transfer of summer pastures..."
"It seems that the king of Xixia is still unstoppable. Why, after only a few years, he actually wants to fight with me, Song Dynasty?" Now, Gao Shize really couldn't sit firmly on the couch, but stood up and paced indoors with a gloomy face.
"Do they dare to fight?" Zhe Keshi sniffed his nose, and the rough hand covered with calluses gently stroked the smooth table.
"What they sent was their herdsmen, not Xixia soldiers, and they were also in Xixia. Therefore, the last general must not be very accurate, so they can only come over and ask you for advice."
"Are you sent herders? Just herders?" Gao Shize couldn't help but sneer.
Zhe Keshi had no choice but to spread his hands. "The other party is within his borders. If my army and horses cross the border, I am afraid that the court's reprimand will be sent to our Shaanxi North Road."
This made Gao Shize silent, narrow his eyes and sit back to his seat. "Or why should Gao send a messenger to warn Xixia?"
"If that happens, it may have a temporary effect, but I believe that they will continue until soon." Zhe Keshi sighed and said authentically.
"In the past, I had had countless dealings between the Song Dynasty and the Xixia. Almost every time I wanted to be polite and then the army, but I was always taken advantage of by those Xixia people who were not polite at all."
"The salt pond is now the only salt production place in the northwest of my Song Dynasty. If there is any chaos, the trouble will be huge..."
Gao Shize frowned, and Zhe Keshi was a long-time general of the northwest border army. His words were not unreasonable.
"Then Brother Zhe, do you have an idea?"
"There is, there is, but this idea is probably not in line with the laws and military rules of our Song Dynasty court..." Zhe Keshi's eyes were circling in admiration, and he was also hesitant when he spoke.
Gao Shize stared at the old driver blankly, and Zhe Keshi did not continue to say anything, but threw half of the words here.
"...How many of those 'Xi Xia herdsmen' are there?" Gao Shize asked in a stern voice after hesitating for a long time.
"There are about three hundred people, and hundreds of them are strong horse-riding string-controllers." Zhe Ke replied immediately. "Now, they are stepping up their construction."
After a while, the map was taken over, and Zhe Keshi's fingers passed by, and then he clicked a place. Gao Shize's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. "What do they want to do?!"
Gao Shize also saw that the straight line distance is no more than 60 miles from one of the salt-producing salt lakes in Yanzhou.
"That's all I want their herdsmen to take every step of the way in the name of missing cattle and horses..." Zhe Keshi curled his lips. "This is the old method of Western Xia invading the land and swallowing the border. They used this method to invade much land in the Song Dynasty."
"Now, the border between Song and Xia is peaceful, and the court has transferred Lord Wang away from the court, hoping that our North Shaanxi Road will strive for stability, but that we do not want another trouble. In this case, as a general, Zhe is really angry and helpless."
While Zhe Keshi said, he looked at Gao Shize's expression with admiration. Gao Shize had a gloomy face and stroked his fingers over the short beard under his chin.
"Brother Zhe, you and I are both the ruling and military officers of Shaanxi North Road. If we do nothing in this matter, wouldn't we have let down the instructions from Lord Wang when he left?"
"So, if Brother Zhe has any strategy to solve this problem, please tell me about it bluntly."
Looking at Gao Shize in front of him, Zhe Keshi thought about it for a while, and finally dipped his hand in tea, then fell on the table and wrote a word.
"Bandit?" Gao Shize looked at Zhe Keshi with confusion, and was a little confused. Gao Shize smiled a little thief. "Our Shaanxi North Road can be regarded as a clear and clear government administration, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but thieves still robbed from time to time."
"Is this... going to do it too obvious?" Gao Shize immediately reacted and understood what this old traitor wanted to do.
"So what if it's not obvious? So what if it's obvious? What's important is that as long as Xixia cannot obtain evidence, what can he do if he sues Tokyo Bianliang?" Zhe Keshi spread his hands and asked with a smile.
Gao Shize thought about it carefully and found that there was no way out. He could not watch the Xixia people build forts and villages near the important taxation area of Yanzhou.
"In this way, Gao will first write to rebuke the dangerous actions of the Xixia people. Today, he will send the letter to Xingqing Prefecture and submit it to the court."
Zhe Keshi was a little stunned, and Gao Shize's next words made him raise his eyebrows. "You can do it in two days, but you must not leave any beginning and end, so that the people of Xixia can find out."
"Zhe understood, then let's do it." Zhe Ke nodded with understanding, then said goodbye and left.
Gao Shize also began to splash ink, and while he wanted to write to the court, he also wanted to write to Xingqing Prefecture and trouble the king of Xixia.

"Sir Zhongshu Ling, the king of the country is invited..." A eunuch met Renduo Zongbao who rushed to the palace. After bowing to him, he led the way first.
"What's wrong with the king of the country?" Rendao Zongbao asked the eunuch as he walked quickly.
"Sir, Gao Shize, the governor of Shaanxi North Road in Song Dynasty, sent an envoy to ask why our country wanted to build forts and villages on the border."
Renduo Zongbao's quick pace suddenly stopped and almost staggered and fell on the steps. The eunuch beside him was so shocked that he quickly reached out to support Renduo Zongbao.
"Sir Zhongshu Ling, please be careful..."
