No shortage of walls

I was overjoyed to learn that there was no one in Zhongguan of the Song Dynasty. Although the road was difficult to walk, a dozen riders could pass it. They went quietly and could not catch up when they returned, but they could not cause a full-scale war. I think the Song Emperor's son The court also knew the threat from Qi and was unwilling to engage in an all-out war.

Regarding the Hu-Song Zhongguan Trail, Hu people often came in to rob Song people in the past. It was only later that a devil from Beiming appeared in the northern border. It is already a familiar road and it is very convenient to come and go.

The Hu people themselves were unwilling to go to full-scale war with the Song State because the old traitor Qi Jun was still there. Who knows if he will take advantage of the situation again and add insult to injury. When he was tired of fighting with the Song Dynasty, he came to pick up dead bodies in vain.

The old thief of Qi Jun drove the Wu people to attack Wu, the Yue people to attack Yue, and the people of Wu and Yue to attack Wu Yue with great ferocity. Hu and Song launched an all-out war, and it was Qi Jun who benefited.

Therefore, we can only hurt Emperor Song's son's face, scare him to come over and plead for mercy, and things will be easier to handle. After all, Nan Di'er is a child and is relatively easy to scare. Before he launched a forceful attack, he sent the Ministry of Rites to put in good words and make deals. All the troops at the scene had entered the country, and the Song Emperor's son was probably very frightened. After all, the barbarians are famous all over the world for their good horses. If they ride back and forth in a hurry, they won't be able to catch up.

So, eight thousand Qingqi were enough to damage Emperor Song's face. If he won at that time, Emperor Song's son just wanted to save face. So, since he is superior, he should be pitied. Just to give him a face, I sent eight thousand cavalry to Wendeng and looted everything before returning. I was free to come and go as long as I wanted to negotiate the price of the sheep with the Song Emperor.

What will Emperor Song do then? The morale of the Song army was hit, and they did not dare to go to full-scale war, so they had to ask themselves for a peaceful solution.

While Prince Donghu sent troops, he withdrew his forceful attack on the border of Qi and reduced his men and cavalry. He thought that he would give a signal to Qi State to let Qi State feel at ease and pose a threat to Song Dynasty. This allowed Emperor Song's son to know that if he took action himself, the people in Qi next to him would be waiting for an opportunity, making him afraid to make a big move.

There is no eternal hatred between countries, only eternal interests.

Song Xing will use others to control others; others will naturally use others to control him.

Between countries, politics is the darkest thing in human nature.

But who wants to know clearly and not fight back? Was I teased by you in vain? Serve as your pawn? Were you sold in the end? And help count the money?

Unless there's really nothing you can do.

Everyone is the same. Whenever possible, they will treat others as pawns and use them in every possible way.

Human nature is what it is.

Profit dictates.

The second prince of Qi learned that Donghu had withdrawn Qi's forceful attack. Although I still don’t know how many troops the Hu people sent out, I know in my heart that if Donghu gains power, the Song army will rush to counterattack; once a fighter opportunity appears, he will seize Song’s Qingzhou Pingyang Erguan, and even the Song Dynasty’s domestic pass. Take it away and let Emperor Song'er feel the feeling of being constantly intimidated.

As long as you seize the inner gates of the Song Dynasty, it will be much easier to do things in the future.

The best outcome is that Song and Hu will enter an endless war from now on, and the two sides will fight for ten years.

Anyway, it's someone else's death, so it's best to collect the body yourself.

In the Three Kingdoms, each has its own hidden agenda. Is that the smile on the face of the two parties' rites ministers treating each other's brothers when they are discussing business? politics!

The smiles are all fake!

The knife is real and will not be seen by others, they can only guess.

But everyone is tacitly understanding it. Who is worried about whom?

Wendeng County is a very small county. If it is in the south, such a small county does not even have a city wall. It is just that it is close to the Hu people, but there is a city wall. However, the county is too small, and the city wall is short and thin. The Hu people have eight thousand light cavalry. It was captured with little effort.

Song Xing was furious:"The barbarians bullied me too much. They knew that I went north to worship at the temple, but they came to hurt my people at this time."

Liu Xiong said:"The matter is urgent, and the general has no choice but to come to ask for orders."

Song Xing said:" The Hu people attacked Wen Deng. They should have looted it and left. How dare you stay?"

Liu Xiong said:"The emperor decreed that taxes should be exempted for five years. This year is still within the tax exemption period. The government does not have much money. It is just an emergency fund. Silver. The county town is too small, so there isn't much, but the rich people in the city have some gold and silver. I just heard that the Wendeng County magistrate sent a letter to the general, asking for a ransom of 100,000, otherwise the city will be massacred."

Song Xing pondered for a moment.. Said:"I don't think the Hu people dare to massacre the city. If the Hu people want to massacre the city, don't blame me for being cruel. Secondly, asking for money is still a delaying tactic. The Hu people have already come in. The longer they stay, if they are surrounded, a I can't run away."

In the history of previous lives, there are precedents of massacres of cities. If the barbarians slaughtered all the people, let them have a taste of the hot weapons that are no longer used.

Fighting is a matter for soldiers.

Liu Xiong said:"Since the Hu people have a plan to come in, they will definitely launch a strong attack on the border, so that the defenders at the Second Pass in Pingshan, Heishan, dare not separate their troops to rescue. The main reason is that the incident happened suddenly, and there was no good plan at the Second Pass."

Song Xing nodded. Asked:"How many Hu people are there in Wendeng?"

Liu Xiong said:"There should be seven or eight thousand people. The Wendeng County magistrate sent a message saying that the county is full of Hu people. The general has been guarding the border for many years. He has been to Wendeng County several times. This county can only accommodate seven or eight thousand people and horses. If there are still outside, it can only be ten thousand people."

Song Xing said:"How can so many people and horses come in at once, and the defenders don't notice it? Do you have a map?" Compare the national map of the palace It's blurry, but the military map of the border is clear.

Liu Xiong said:"Yes!"

He had been guarding the border for eleven years, so of course there was some. He took out a ball of white silk from his arms. When he opened it, it was three feet long and one foot wide. The border mountains and forests are described very clearly with black pen. The mountains on the border with the Hu people are like waves, and the flat mountains and black mountains have a disconnected road at the tip of the waves. They are the places where they guard the border, and they are still naturally formed.

Liu Xiong pointed at the map. He said:"The Pingshan side is about one mile wide, but the Black Mountain is almost two miles wide." After that, he pointed to the valley at the bottom of the wave toward the Song Dynasty and said:"The mountains here are half lower, but it is also very difficult to walk. They are all The trees are tall and very dense! The Hu people are good at horses. It must be easy for them to sneak in and hide in the forest. According to what the general knew when he was young, the Hu people often came here in the past, but since the Beiming general defeated them thirty years ago, The three generals of the Hu people and their sergeants invaded the Hu territory for more than 200 miles. Wherever the army went, the corpses of the Hu people were everywhere. From the beginning, the Hu people did not dare to look at the Song Dynasty. The road was not guarded all year round, and there was no Hu people. When the people came over, there were gradually no more defenders, and there was no need to guard the northern border before. That road was too difficult to walk, and unless the Hu people secretly opened the way to the Hu people, it didn't matter that the remaining half of Song Dynasty was difficult to walk."

Song Xingdao:"I came prepared. It's not surprising that this happened."

Liu Xiong sighed:"The Hu people are so lucky. They have a border with Qi in the east and a pass on the mountain. In the south, we have a great Song Dynasty. The favorable pass is in the north but not in the south. The Hu people are in the west. We are brothers, but there is a natural barrier in the north, and the two barriers are isolated from each other."

Song Xing heard about it for the first time. He hurriedly asked:"Do the Hu people still have a country in the north?"
