In the second year of Huangyou, the Khitan attacked Dangxiang and was defeated. Dangxiang entered the Song Dynasty to report the victory and ordered the envoys to stay in the border counties without reporting. Soon after, the Khitan sent envoys to Kaifeng Prefecture to report the victory of Dangxiang. The Liaozhu in the middle line was a great victory, and the northern line was a great victory, but the southern line was a small defeat, and many captured a lot. However, according to the border report, the Khitan attacked Dangxiang this time, and only the northern line captured more than 20 people, while the remaining routes suffered great losses.

During the conflict between Khitan and Dangxiang, the Song Dynasty was neutral. However, it had an alliance with the Khitan and was both a great country. It was not clear to see that the Khitan was defeated. He was afraid that the Song Dynasty would have different ideas and specially sent important officials to report the attack on Dangxiang.

What Du Zhongxiao cared more about was the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in Yongzhou. After defeating the attacking Jiaozhi army, Nong Zhigao asked to be attached. After the court weighed the pros and cons, he refused. Nong Zhigao officially launched a rebellion on this grounds. There was little movement at this time, so several inspectors were added around.

Nong Zhigao asked for support, not to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but to use the power of the Song Dynasty to balance the pressure of Jiaozhi. Guangyuanzhou was originally a repressed force of Jiaozhi, and several wars occurred in 10 or 20 years. Now that the wings have grown stronger and have the capital to be independent, I hope to temporarily entrust the Song Dynasty to seek greater development. I promised him that the Song Dynasty would not get any benefits and just resist the Jiaozhi power for him.

After the Song Dynasty became stronger, if it wanted to conquer Guangyuanzhou, it would not be necessary to have a name that was attached to Nong Zhigao. It was originally a vassal state in the Central Plains, and even Jiaozhi was a basis for finding it since ancient times. Why do you need to recognize a powerful man who came out of nowhere?

Du Zhongxiao's ideas are consistent with the current court, and he agrees that Nong Zhigao's internal attachment is harmful and useless. One harm is that he is incompatible with Jiaozhi, and the other harm is that when he is unable to operate, he recognizes the newly emerging local forces and disrupts the nominal ruling system since ancient times.

It is not easy to turn around this corner. In the knowledge learned in the past, Nong Zhigao was a minority uprising with a halo of justice. Although he took the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty, massacre cities, burn, kill and loot, he was just. The Song Dynasty did not allow him to escort inside, and everything that happened later was his own fault. Although he was a more reactionary slave landlord than the court, cruelly exploiting internally and extremely vicious to the outside world, it was because of his non-Han identity and resistance to the central government, he was a hero of uprising and a national hero of certain nations. Even if he was given the identity of this national hero, it was just to show the independence of those nations, or even to split.

Seriously speaking, Nong Zhigao made a lot of noise in history, shaken half of the country. Later, Jiaozhi attacked the Central Plains and other things were related to this, but in fact it was not very strong. The military deployment of the Song Dynasty was very weak in the south of the Yangtze River. There were basically no imperial guards, and many cities had no city walls, hundreds of soldiers in a state, and even dozens of soldiers, without defense at all. But this war had a great impact and was the first choice for the record in this era. Picking Nong Zhigao created the status of Di Qing as a famous general, allowing Yang Wenguang and other new generations of generals to rise. Du Zhongxiao was in the same position and hoped that he could participate in this war and make a wave of military achievements. Fighting Nong Zhigao is much easier than fighting Khitan and Dangxiang.

Du Zhongxiao studied all the court reports about Nong Zhigao very seriously, and finally determined that he would not have a large-scale uprising in a short period of time. The fact that such a big disturbance was not only related to Nong Zhigao, but also to the response of the Song Dynasty. Without a series of immortal operations, the garrison on Guangnan West Road alone was enough to suppress it. In the end, the local generals of the Song Dynasty were asked to make continuous mistakes, making Nong Zhigao's ambitions grow bigger and bigger, allowing him to use the Song Dynasty's mistakes to integrate the interior and eventually form a torrent. Now the local government generals have not made enough mistakes, and whether they are military power or people's hearts, they still have the upper hand.

As for later generations, the deification of Nong Zhigao, which is both civil and military, and unparalleled in wisdom and courage, just listen to those words, and you cannot be truly treated as true. Facing the imperial guards in the north, it is used to make achievements. The reason why Di Qing was a famous general was not because he won, but because he won very beautifully.

In late spring, the grass is long and the eagle is flying, the peach blossoms are red and the willows are green, and the world is full of vitality.

He Da carried a load and walked staggeringly on the country road. There were water birds flying in the puddles on the roadside, cows eating grass on the grass, and occasionally a peach tree on the roadside, full of green fruits.

Pida was fishing in the pond with a few young and strong men. When he straightened his waist, he saw He Da and whispered: "Brother, what did you collect today?"

He Dadao: "They are all tightly collected in the yamen recently, including soap beef, mint, and five-double croquette. Today, I was lucky and I also collected some beef tendons, horns and the like. By the way, a family has picked a lot of roe grass, which is a famous local medicine."

Pida said: "Brother is good business! I will catch some fish and shrimps and go back to drink."

He Da agreed and did not stop, walking all the way to the village not far away.

For the mall to operate normally, it requires a strong procurement network. Without its own procurement system, it would be less meaningful to buy things from other merchants. Nowadays, the nearby states mainly focus on land management, and from states to counties, there is a procurement network. Each village has a buyer who specializes in purchasing local products, herbs, fruits, etc. He Damian was purchased by the village. Whenever he had free time, he carried a load, walked around the streets and alleys, and collected these things everywhere. He worked hard and was the most successful person within dozens of miles nearby, and he made some money.

When he entered the village and saw his own yard from afar, He Da breathed a sigh of relief and felt a hint of warmth. In the village of dozens of households, only He had fences and looked neat. Other families were also raising chickens, growing vegetables around the houses, and raising cats and dogs. But they had no yards, and the livestock they raised ran everywhere, and they were in chaos as soon as they entered the village. He Da was different. The vegetables he grew were in the yard, and the chickens and dogs he raised were also in the yard.

As I got closer, I suddenly saw a familiar woman standing in front of the door, next to her a child of seven or eight years old.

He Da couldn't help but stop, stood there, and looked for a while. He couldn't tell what he was now, but he felt like he was upside down and his heart was mixed. He even didn't dare to come forward for a while, not knowing what she was doing, afraid that all this would be an illusion.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but He Dacai woke up from his trance, sighed, and walked forward with Maitian.

Hearing footsteps, He Da's wife turned around, looked at the burden on He Da's shoulder, pulled the child's hand, and said, "I've been back for a long time. There is no one at home and the yard door is locked, so I have to wait here."

He Da hurriedly put down the load, walked up to open the door, and said, "There is no lock, it's just a tie, you can go in."

The woman sighed: "This is not the home I have lived in, so why do you go in?"

He Da turned around, looked at his wife, and then looked at the child standing next to him. He was clean and very smart, with big eyes looking at him. This is his own son. He Da had been to the butcher's house in Xiangzhou several times, and he always looked at him from afar. From how he couldn't walk, to how he could run and jump, he was now at the age of school.

The ups and downs in his heart, and He Da felt his eyes sore and could not speak for a while.

The family of three stood like this, and I don’t know how much time passed, He Da suddenly woke up and said in a panic: “Go into the house quickly, sit down and drink a few sips of tea. I’ve been out for a day and the chickens should be fed and the meal should be cooked. We will have a meal later.”

He Da's wife held the child's hand and said, "You go and do it yourself, I'll do it." As she said, she entered the yard.
