No shortage of walls

The Hu people didn't know that Qi had done what they had to do until Qi had almost finished taking care of Wu and Yue, and Song had occupied the inner pass of the old Wu and old Yue. Naturally, they also knew that the Qi people were driving the Wu people to attack Wu, and the Yue people Attacking Yue: The people of Wu and Yue used ruthless means to attack Wu and Yue.

It was the information reported by the Song Dynasty.

But at this point, when I think about it carefully, there is nothing I can do.

In the history of Song, Hu and Qi, they all knew each other. Who hasn’t had sex with whom?

Now that Qi has conquered Wu and Yue, high-pressure measures cannot subdue the people of Wu and Yue. But the Qi people can use the old methods to deal with themselves, if the Qi people drive the Wu and Yue people north to attack Hu. No matter how unwilling the people of Wu and Yue are, there is nothing they can do.

He was going to fight a group of lunatics, and no matter how many people from Wu and Yue died, the people of Qi were not harmed at all. When he and the people of Wu and Yue were tired, the local soldiers of Qi would take action again; the consequences were a bit serious.

Could it be that the Southern Song Dynasty did not see it at this time? Considering the Song Emperor's ability to recruit Liao and follow Chen as a child, this idea is too naive.

But there are two problems when going south to enmity with Song Dynasty.

First, as soon as the war broke out, all business and exchanges were interrupted. The business that was only available because Emperor Song's son came up was finally interrupted. Seeing that Emperor Song's son had more and more sheep affairs every year, it was a pity to lose it.

Secondly, the Song army took over Liao and followed Chen, and Wu and Yue established internal borders in all directions. Not only did the military strength double, but the strategic depth doubled, and the morale of the soldiers increased to an unprecedented level.

It's not like Song Hu has never done it before, but now that he's doing it, the outcome is uncertain.

Furthermore, Song and Hu are already working hard; when they are tired, is it possible that the old thief Qi Jun is still sitting back and watching the show?

War between countries is far from fighting between individuals.

Two of the three men were fighting, and the third man could only cheer and applaud, shouting and saying,"Fuck him to death." But if any two of the three countries fight, will the third party wait until the other two are tired and kill them all?

If you can do it yourself, why can’t others?

In a war between countries, there are too many aspects that need to be considered, especially if it is two countries among many countries. If only two countries fight, it will be nothing more than either you die or I die. That would be much more convenient. Things to consider Much less.

With one more country, we have to think more about the cost of war.

Qi Jun, the old thief, can't believe it the most. That guy even cheated on his son's in-laws. As a neighbor, there is really no reason to believe it.

But if this happens, the situation in the world will completely change.

Looking at the world, from the perspective of Hu in the east and Hu in the south, excluding the Song Dynasty, it is divided into north and south for forty years; there are also eight countries: Song, Qi, Wu, Yue, Liao, Chen, and Sui. The politics, geography, strategy, and economy of the eight countries have been balanced like this for more than three hundred years. Although they have fought with each other more than once or twice in these three hundred years, no one has broken this situation. Politically , military, strategic balance.

How long has it been since Emperor Song's son ascended the throne? In less than three years since he started, the situation in the world has completely changed, breaking the balance of all conditions for more than three hundred years. Now there is only the power of the three kingdoms of Hu, Song, and Qi.

In terms of territory, the Hu people are still the largest at this time, but in terms of population, there is no detailed data, so they should be almost the same, but in terms of wealth, the Qi, Song and Erhu should be the last.

Donghu did not consider the Xia Kingdom in the south.

First, Donghu and Xia have no territorial connection in history, and they have never fought each other. It is just a matter of hunting cattle across the mountains.

Secondly, the Xia Kingdom is the richest country in the world. The Xia Kingdom is arrogant and looks down on everyone. In the eyes of the Xia Kingdom, everyone is a poor ghost. The Xia Kingdom has had three meals a day for at least three hundred years. You are all the same. Poor guy, since there is no land connection between Donghu and Xia, even if you have some ideas, there is nothing you can do.

Thirdly, the price of sheep from Xia State was reduced by 10% the year before last. The Hu people had already found out clearly that they did not intend to suppress them; they were too far away to be called suppression. It's just that the Song Dynasty harvested Xia sheep, and the old and young were fat and thin at the same price. The actual price of the sheep was higher than the price of their own sheep. It was because the Song people wanted the Xia people's cattle and horses, and they were just giving the Xia people a sweetener.

The Song Dynasty indeed owed cattle and horses. And Xia Hu is indeed very talented.

As for what is said to prevent Xia's cattle, horses and sheep from being sold, is that a legend from Donghu? It's just a rumor from the Ministry of National Security of the Song Dynasty. Firstly, it was used to buy cattle and horses from Xixia; secondly, it was used to lower the price of sheep.

How much does it cost to buy so much in bulk and get 10% less? You can imagine it with your buttocks. If the Ministry of National Security spreads a word and let the people spread rumors, it will save the Song Dynasty a lot of money. It couldn't be more cost-effective.

The National Security Department of the Song State saves money for him. No wonder others were fooled. When doing business, everyone wants to sell the most expensive thing and buy the cheapest thing.

However, the Song State used Xia State's old and young sheep, regardless of whether they were fat or thin, to lower the price of its own sheep. This made Donghu Wangting very unhappy. It was only a big customer from the Song State who bought the sheep. If several customers came to buy, they would definitely not sell to them. Song Dynasty.

This is the most helpless thing.

Had to sell.

The relationship between supply and demand determines that Hu people have few choices.

However, the clever second prince of Qi has already seen through everything, but seeing through and counterattacking are two different problems.

Because Qi and Song Dynasty were at odds with each other! The goods of Qi State will not be shipped to Song State.

It should be noted that before there was soap, it was impossible to wash hands and bathe with either cold or hot water. It has not been used for tens of millions of years, so naturally it has long been used to it. But after using it, it's a bit difficult. It seems that I can't wash my hands clean. There are also sugar, spirits... In short, all the goods in Song Guo's workshop are good things.

But Song and Qi were at odds with each other, and now they wanted to buy it from Donghu.

It should be noted that Donghu and Song Dynasty used Pingzhou Pass in the west to deliver goods and silver. The Hu people transported the goods from Pingzhou Pass to Qi State and Donghu Pass in Hudong. The road was so far that it spanned the Hu border in the north of the two countries. They took it over from the New Year, and urgently If you rush there, you won't be able to reach Qi until at least the end of May.

In the world, only ghosts talk about feelings when doing business.

People do business to make money.

If you don't make money, you will just go back to bed and lie down, thinking that I am full to hold on? If you don't make money, you might as well sleep.

If you don't make money on such a long journey, you probably won't do anything. Regardless of whether it is a country or an individual, it is too weird to do business if it is not profitable and there are still people doing it. There are no gold and silver interests, but there are also political interests. If someone says that there are no interests at all, who would believe it?

So, with such a long journey, freight, labor costs, losses, taxes, plus a little bit of effort and a little bit of profit, when all added up, it’s not a little expensive.

The most uncomfortable thing is that the Hu people only sell but don't buy. Although Qi State has stolen a lot of money from Wu and Yue, two wealthy countries, they only buy but don't sell. There are so many things stolen from the country that it is inevitable to lose.

It is true that the Hu people do not need things from Qi, and it is not because they do not want to buy them because of constraints.

In the past, if grains such as pigs, kelp and kelp were stored for a long time, they would definitely not be as good as gold and silver. Gold and silver will not deteriorate, grow old or die even if they are stored for ten thousand years.

The second prince of Qi was well aware of the barbaric attacks by the northern barbarians on the border. It must have been a secret deal between Emperor Song and the barbarians to allow the barbarians to contain the state of Qi. If it weren't for the strong attack of the Hu people in the north, Qi State would be worried about the Hu people in the north; how could the Song army occupy the four inner gates of Wu and Yue in vain? We have long used the old method to drive away Wu Yue's people and snatch them back.
