Of course, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom could not agree and said, "The fourteen prefectures of Yanyun do not include the four prefectures of Jingpingying and Luan."

Several prime ministers and gods are here, and it turns out that the new emperor of Liao is still thinking about good things. If these four states are not taken down, can it be cured in front of the mountain? At least it must be taken down south of Yuguan. This is the bottom line of the Song Dynasty.

After a few months, everyone has been used to it since they were surprised at the beginning.

It’s not a dream, China’s rise is just around the corner. Who among the people here will not be famous in history?

Song Jiu said again: "In this way, your country will return the Tang Dynasty Yingzhou to our dynasty."

He said that the conflict of civilizations is the main reason why the Central Plains dynasty has always been unable to manage nomadic peoples well.

In fact, no matter how strong China has been, no matter how strong it is, its ability to control the desert is very weak, including the Tang Dynasty. It is a ban, not a governance, and it is our Tang Dynasty. In fact, it cannot control the military, political and financial affairs of the desert at all.

Therefore, the actual control scope of the Qin Dynasty was south of the Great Wall of Zhao and Yan, including Yunzhong, Daling River, Luan River Basin, the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River and Yalu River in Zhongjing, Liaohe Kingdom. The reason is simple. At that time, the water and grass here were relatively abundant, and the climate was not as cold as the north. The Han people could cultivate here. The actual territory of the northern Han Dynasty did not change much from that of the Qin Dynasty. When it came to Cao Wei, because the first ancient Great Wall in the north was gradually lost, and with the constraints of Shu and Wu in the south, it basically narrowed to the current Yanyun area. Yunzhong became the world of Tuoba Xianbei, and the upper reaches of the Daling River and the Qin River (called Tuhe in the Liao Kingdom) became the scope of the activities of the Xianbei in the eastern region.

However, the Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty was still within the control of Cao Wei, and its name was Changli County, including the southern part of Liaodong and the Pyongyang area in the northern part of the Han River. The Western Jin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty discussed this control area along the way, but the Sui Dynasty lost most of the Liaodong area due to its defeat in Gaomingli. However, Changli County continued to control it, but it was changed to Liucheng County.

Historically, at least the current Liao Kingdom Xingzhong Prefecture (i.e. Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty and later Chaoyang) has always been the territory of the Central Plains dynasty.

The envoy was so angry that he wanted to stand up. If he pursued the south of Yuguan, he could still understand, could the Xingzhong Prefecture be lost? How far is it from the Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom?

He got angry, and Song Jiugeng was so angry that he couldn't even talk. He left with his robe sleeve and didn't want to talk to you anymore.

This is too ungraceful.

However, Wang Qinruo smiled and said, "It's okay, Song Gong has always been radical. In fact, your Liao Kingdom is not very concerned about it. You can also make a joke about the Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty. At least in the late Tang Dynasty, the Xi people and you Khitans did not move. However, the south of Yuguan is not the base camp of your Khitans. This was the time you snatched it from Shi Jingtang, and it was time to return it to our dynasty."

The question is, why did the Song Dynasty have two voices?

The messenger went back in depression.

What to do if you have to discuss.

Several big guys looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was not just Pingzhou, Liao Kingdom, and Xingzhong Prefecture.

After getting Yanyun, he had to establish the system. Therefore, many ministers made suggestions to set aside the four prefectures, Lingzhou, and Hetao in the north and south, and to mark it as a separate Lingxia Road. Otherwise, the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Road would be too large and officials would be in the distance in Chang'an. Yanyun area would be marked as Yanyun Road.

However, it was opposed by Song Jiu.

He also agreed to continue to draw in detail, but it was not like this. Yanyun did not draw a whole way. There was nothing else. There was Taihang Mountain, and a big mountain was separated by a large mountain. It was still far away. Therefore, the area behind the mountain was divided into Yunzhong Road, with Yunzhou as the capital, and the several states behind the mountain and Yunzhong area were managed. If the ethnic groups north of Yinshan surrendered in the future, they would still be under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong Road, but they would have to be divided into three, the area behind the mountain was a direct governance area, Yunzhong was a semi-registered governance area, and all the spheres of influence of the people in the north of Yinshan belonged to the entire area.

In ancient times, no matter how the desert was controlled, Song Jiu still could not control the desert area. It would be best to be able to surrender, even if you spend a little money to reward, you would not surrender or force it, as long as you don’t invade.

This kind of thinking is the result of backward traffic.

Too far and too big, different civilization methods can easily cause conflicts, so Mobei directly abandoned it, and even did not plan to garrison the troops.

This proposal was recognized by all civil officials. It was useless to obtain it from the court, and it was too worthwhile to spend so much manpower and material resources. It would not be worth it. It would not rule for a long time, but it would harm the people of the Central Plains. This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin did not accept Dali at the time.

This is the first new path.

The second new road is the northwest, starting from Yanzhou and all the way to Hetao, the four prefectures in Dingnan and Yinchuan Plain, and set it as Yanzhou Road, which has nothing to do with the word Xia, because it is easy for the people to think of the Tuoba Li family in Xiazhou.

The third new road is from Qinzhou, with Qinzhou as its capital, including Weizhou and Hexi Corridor, all the way to Shazhou, the entire Qinghai region and the Juyanhai region at the end of the Ruoshui River. Without the threat of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty could operate this portal. If the Uighurs in the Western Regions surrendered in the future, it would also be under the jurisdiction of Qinwei Road. At worst, it would be changed from Qinwei Road to Longyou Road, and the capital was in Qinzhou. If the Hexi Corridor and Qinghai were obtained in the future, then it could be the first military city in ancient Shanzhou and Liangzhou as the second military city.

However, this journey is now just an empty shell. Except for the Qinwei area, the rest are controlled by the Qiang, Tubo or Uighurs.

The fourth new road is Youzhou Road.

With Youzhou as its capital, including the entire Liaodong, the Shangjing area of ​​the Liao Kingdom in the future. However, after passing Shangjing and the Huanglong Mansion in Liaodong, it will also be abandoned and surrendered, and will not ask whether to surrender. However, three important military cities will be set up. One is to join forces with Youzhou to control the five ministries of Xi, the outer imperial black car room Wei and Wugu, the second is to control the Jurchen area in the area of ​​the Huntongjiang area, the outer imperial Jurchen area, the outer imperial unit with less populous population in the north, and the third is to control the Bohai Sea and the outer imperial Goryeo in the area of ​​the Liao Kingdom.

The reason for doing this is mainly to use a Han city as its capital to strengthen cohesion and accelerate integration. Secondly, to dilute the marks of various tribes, such as the word Liao will completely disappear from various local names.

Of course, this is just an idea. The only thing that can be divided in the temporary reality is that only Yanzhou Road and Yunzhong Road. The so-called Qin Wei Road is very far away, even if the Youzhou Road has not yet been realized. There is also the south, including Dali and Jiaozhi, Song Jiu simply mentioned it without mentioning it. Of course, there is no hurry, you can take it slowly according to the national situation. Moreover, whether it is Tubo or Uighur, it will not pose a fatal harm to the Song Dynasty.

Long before, Song Jiu proposed that Wang Hanzhong, Zhang Sijun, Geng Quanbin, Li Chonggui and Wang Xian go to the northwest first to guard important cities such as Xiazhou, Lingzhou, and Qinzhou, and then let Zhe Weichang return to the prefecture, and the Zhe family army is there. The Qiang will be afraid. Especially the Tubo people, they must be wary of it. After all, the main forces of the imperial court have gone to the north together. However, with several veterans moving westward, there is no big problem.

The current situation is still the Youzhou Road. It is not certain whether it will be realized. But don’t say it is Pingzhou, even if Xingzhong Prefecture will not let it go this time.

The so-called negotiation is just a false image, deliberately confusing the Liao Kingdom.

Song Jiu was looking at the financial statements.

The court restored Yanyun's vitality and comforted Yun, but did not use troops to the Liao Kingdom.

As for what was said at the negotiating table just now, Song Jiu didn’t take it seriously at all. Can we talk about it?

However, there is a reason to stop the military operation.

Both Cao Wei and Li Jilong suggested using troops immediately. For no reason, it became even colder to the north. The imperial court wanted to take over Liaodong and Liao Kingdom in one go, and it would take a long time to not only take over, but also settle them. However, time would pass very quickly, and winter would come in the blink of an eye. If the overall situation was not settled at that time, the situation in the north might become worse.

But it was opposed by Song Jiu.

There are several reasons, the first is the problem of the retreat. If Yanyun is unstable and the army is rushing north, what will happen? In history, Liao Xingzong went to the Western Xia. At this time, Xiao Yanyan went to the battle of Chanzhou, and Guan Yu's flooded Cao's army...

These are all profound lessons.

Before the army sets out, be sure to integrate Yanyun.

Only in this way can we go to the battle with peace of mind.

The second reason is where the money is.

No wonder some people say that the Song Dynasty spent 70 million yuan in the Battle of Chanyuan in history. Song Renzong spent more than 200 million yuan in the war between Song Renzong and Western Xia for several years.

A great victory, but rewards, pensions, and comfort expenses were spent on all the 100 million yuan of money and silk that the three officials had accumulated.

This was because Song Jiu was careful in his calculations and prepared a lot of money and arrangements in advance, otherwise the treasury would have been in a hurry.

Therefore, Song Jiu could only wait a moment, first-class summer tax, and second-class national income to launch a new attack. As long as he could support the second round of attack, he would also have the reward and pension money after the war, which was the wealth of the Liao Dynasty's Tokyo Shangjing Zhongjing. Even Yelu Longqing brought 80% of Yan Yun's wealth from officers and soldiers or various powerful people to the Liao Dynasty Zhongjing and Shangjing.

As long as these two cities are captured, you will not have to worry about the expenses of post-war pensions and comfort.

However, before the three armies move, food and grass will take the lead. When the army moves, it will cost a lot of money, such as food and grass, weapons, armor, and various materials...

Put down the account book.

Song Jiu pondered.

It is not a military arrangement, but this will be something that Li Jilong and Cao Wei and other generals want to go there, mainly ethnic issues.

I also want to thank Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang for their governance and learning from Song Jiu's actions in the Jurchens, from the vast area of ​​Jiang to the south and Shangjing to the south, that is, the future direct management and semi-registered areas of Youzhou in the future, which began to cultivate and settle the herd, which laid the foundation for the governance of the Song Dynasty.

However, there is a serious disadvantage, that is, the proportion of Han people is small. Ninety percent of them are Khitans, Xi, Wu, Jurchens, Bohai, and a small number of Viagra and Tatars. If this problem is not solved, future troubles will be left.

After thinking for a long time, Song Jiu stood up and met Zhao Heng, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old minister will not be able to retire next year."

"Ah," Zhao Heng almost loosened the teacup underground.

In this battle, the commander-in-chief of Mingyi's rear was Zhao Heng and the prime ministers, and the commander-in-chief of the front line was Li Jilong and Cao Wei. In fact, the commander-in-chief of the front line or the back line was Song Jiu. Even Song Jiu personally did all the arrangements of the previous years.

But Song Jiu said that one year after the war, he would settle the state affairs for Zhao Heng and retired, and he finally promised in front of everyone before Li Ying.

Therefore, everyone in this industry was more happy, and no ministers were jealous of Song Jiu's contribution.

However, if Song Jiu is unwilling to retreat, it would be a bit bad. With his current prestige among civil servants and military generals, who can subdue him?

Song Jiu knew that he wanted to assist him and explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to retreat, but that I will stay in Liaodong. Otherwise, I will not be relieved if anyone comes. There will be too many problems here in the future."

"It's not appropriate. Liaodong is bitter and cold, and you are gradually getting older than you are sixty."

"I know, but it's not stable here, and I don't feel at ease even if I retreat."

Zhao Heng was very lucky. Song Jiu didn't need to be afraid in Liaodong, which means that he would leave the court soon. However, how could he have the nerve to agree to this desperate situation?

"But the old minister needs five young ministers to assist."

"Those five?"

"The first is Wang Shu, the judge of the herd."

"Kou Zhun's son-in-law?"

Zhao Heng suspected that this person was less than 30 years old. After being a Jinshi, Brigadier Kou married him. Xianpingzhong was promoted to a writer-in-law of the Secretariat and a judge of the herds. But don't take it seriously, this is to give Kou Zhun face.

Song Jiu nodded and said, "The second person is Wang Zeng, the chief judge of Jining."

"Wang Zeng, the big three yuan?"

“That’s right.”

"What about the third person?"

"The third person is Zhang Zhibai, the governor of Jianzhou in the second year of Duangong, and the fourth person is Li Di, the top scholar this spring, who will be the chief secretary of the school."

Zhao Heng was even more puzzled. The oldest of these four people was only in their thirties, and the youngest was only in their twenties. Especially Li Di, who just passed the No. 1 exam this year, why did Song Jiu like them?

Song Jiu was very happy and praised Liu E in history, but ignored several important officials whom Liu E were appointed, such as the four wise ministers in the first year of Renzong, Wang Zeng, Li Di and Zhang Zhibai. It seems that there is one Du Yan, but I don’t know where it is. There are also famous officials such as Wang Shu and Lu Zongdao. However, there are not so many, but these people are not as capable as the last one.
