No shortage of walls

The barbarians did not come in from the border, but from the low ridges between Pingshan and Black Mountain, slightly closer to Black Mountain.

There is only one absolute border pass in Song Dynasty in Qingzhou. In other places, it is just a little more difficult to enter. Those who can easily enter are guarded by border generals. The Hu people are good at horsemanship and sneak in from the waist of the mountain; Pingshan and Heishan are guarded at two places. The troops were too far apart, so it was normal not to notice.

The Hu people often used this trick to make sneak attacks in the north. It's just that not many people come in every time. They come and go in a hurry, grab some belongings and then leave. It's just that the past few decades have been much calmer. The two sides have been doing business and business, and the friendship between the two countries is in the honeymoon stage again. I didn't expect that it would come again now and capture a small county called Wendeng all at once.

This matter developed too quickly and suddenly; it was a border pass that had been abandoned for a long time and was very difficult to walk; so much so that the small town of Song State had already been occupied; the Song army did not know about it.

The business transactions between Song and Hu in recent years have allowed the Hu people and the royal court to collect a lot of taxes; the common people and herdsmen have made a lot of money; both parties are in a close relationship, and they are like brothers whose blood is thicker than water. To be honest, Song Jun did not expect it.

No one thought.

In fact, this is a matter for the prince's own secret benefit.

The Shanyu of the East Hu Palace gave birth to many daughters, but only one son, a prince; according to the Song Dynasty, he was a prince. The old Shanyu was already old and had been traveling around a few years ago. The chair will be his in the future, and he doesn't have an extra son.

Prince Donghu, under the title of Crown Prince, has been in charge of government affairs for many years. There are not many domestic affairs in general. In a nomadic country, there is no war; there is no trading. The old Chanyu ignored him even when the prince came to ask for instructions. Anyway, I don’t care about anything anymore. Sooner or later, you will sit on that chair - you have already sat down. If you have nothing to do, don’t disturb my interest in sightseeing.

Just because the son of the Song Emperor, the orthodox emperor, started doing business with his neighbors, there was nothing to do. It was just business, the royal court collected taxes, and the herdsmen and the people spent it when they had money.

To put it into perspective, more than one million sheep were processed each year, and the Song Dynasty's workshops had a constant flow of goods. The taxes sounded like a lot. If it were given to you, you could retire now. But for a country like Donghu, it is actually nothing.

But when you make money, you will inevitably become jealous. Everyone wants more and more money, including the country and individuals. Moreover, people who are poor and fearful will grasp the opportunity to make money more tightly.

Since last year the envoy Lin Jianjia went south to the Song Dynasty Palace to sue Long Quan, the former deputy general of King Jing. Although the Emperor Xiao'er Palace of Song Dynasty did a very honorable job, but if you think about it carefully, there is a big problem.

I don’t know how many battles were fought between Song and Qi in the past, and how many people died; the Yuzhou Pass is there, not for decoration; whether it is Song attacking Qi or Qi attacking Song, it is not easy to reach the other side’s country..

Long Quan was the war god of the southern Song Dynasty and the second deputy general of His Highness Prince Jing, the eldest son of the Qingyuan Emperor. His status was second only to that of the Liu Kingdom; he only controlled a small Yuzhou Pass. He actually allowed seven private smugglers to pour the goods from the workshops of the Song Dynasty into the Qi Kingdom, so that our country, Hu, would make a lot less money.

It turns out that Song State does business with its neighbors. When doing business, you sell yours and I buy mine. It doesn't matter originally, but you promised me that I will help you control Qi State with a forceful attack. You don't ship goods to Qi State. , let me make money.

To say it is not done is to go too far.

To know about smuggling, pearls and jade are worth a lot of money if they are hidden on your body. It can also be said that even if the search was not careful, I did not think of him smuggling. It's barely fair.

But there are loads of soap, sugar, and so on in the carriages; they can’t even sneak across the mountains and ridges like a spy crossing the border, right? How could it be possible for almost a year without the border guard general Long Quan knowing? Moreover, it was not a case of collusion between officials and businessmen for smuggling, Long Quan was actually innocent.

Come on, come on, you go smuggling for a year and show me, do I know?

Moreover, the Yuzhou Customs Announcement stated that seven private smugglers had been caught, all the men over the age of sixteen were executed, and the women were declassified as slaves. However, according to the reports from the spies, it was just a pretentious announcement.

Really kill a ghost.

The announcement is just an announcement, even the names are made up.

Prince Donghu and the important officials in the royal court analyzed it carefully and concluded that it was the plot of Emperor Song's son.

Although the Song emperor's son's attack on Liao was well-known and justified, his attack was suspicious.

Of course Sui Jun is a talker; he just thought it was true that the Song Dynasty newspaper said that he wanted to buy crystals but he did not want to buy them; he deliberately teased the Song Emperor's child.

But it is too false to say that the accompanying army beat Liu He's soldiers of the Song Army. The country of Sui is too small, just a country of sheep dung and eggs. Even Chen Guobi Sui Guo dared to bully Sui Guo. How could Sui Jun have the courage to attack Song soldiers?

Liu He, the general who guarded Shengzhou at the beginning, had 15,000 men; the entire Suiguo, emperor, queen, all harem nobles, and all public officials in total did not necessarily have 15,000 men.

The accompanying army dared to attack the Song army.

Not looking for trouble!

It’s courting death!

Obviously, following the army is neither stupid nor seeking death.

Emperor Song's son made an excuse. Because the eternal barrier was in Qingzhou, the Song army needed to follow him into the Liao Dynasty. Suijun had already lost his job. Wu Wei probably blamed the army on him. It was Wu who took the blame. Not to mention Chen Guo.

Chen Guo's salt wells are so valuable. It's always ten thousand times more convenient to buy one from Chen Guo than to buy it from Chen Guo. No matter how cheap it is, buying someone else's salt well will cost you money. You only need to hire a salt worker for your own, and you will save a lot of money. Moreover, my own Chenzhou does not need to be subject to the restraints of negotiating prices when buying and selling.

The ambition of Emperor Song's son was a bit big.

The Song State conquered the Liao Dynasty and followed the Chen Dynasty, both in terms of military strength and strategic depth. Compared with the Song State, it was double, and such a large Song State played a considerable role in the political balance and the situation of the world. Moreover, the geopolitics changed all of a sudden. The countries in the southeast were consolidated into four by the Song Dynasty.

Political power and military power suddenly play a decisive role.

The power of Song Kingdom's children at this moment was already several times that of Song Zhinan, and he seemed to realize it was a little late.

Emperor Song's son, do you really think that your neighbors don't know?

Just when the Donghu court thought so, and were doubting whether Emperor Song's son would attack Wu.

The state of Qi entered Wu.

The Hu people are of different races and faces from all the people in the world. When Qi invaded Wu and Tunyue, they used high-pressure measures; it is not so much that the Song State secretly defeated Wu and Yue's Ministry of National Security; but it was difficult for the Hu people to even have a chance to investigate, just because they had different faces. Either the East Hu or the West Hu, and the Qi State had a strict plan to invade Wu and swallow Yue. It was originally intended to hide it from other countries. The domestic border checks were too strict, making it difficult for the Ministry of National Security of the Song State to get information, and it was even more difficult for the Hu people to get information.

Occasionally I get news, just because the faces are different, people know it at a glance, and there is no chance to get out.
