Ministers cannot understand Guo Hao's good intentions. They do not understand history and will not think so far.

Guo Hao asked Zhao Kuangyi to take 10,000 troops to capture the Hexi Corridor. Zhao Kuangyi agreed impulsively, but when he arrived, he found that he had been cheated.

The first stop of the Hexi Corridor is Liangzhou, which is the territory of the last people. After cooling Zhao Kuangyi for a while, Guo Hao finally gave Zhao Kuangyi an edict.

The content of the edict was to make the late people surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, the late people have actually been sinicized, and if they do not surrender, they will be annexed sooner or later.

The Zhe Gezhi was shocked and frightened when he received the edict from the Song court. They had clearly attached themselves to the Song court. What did the Song Song court mean by surrender?

The Zhe Gezhi couldn't figure out the meaning of the edict, so he found Pan Luozhi, the leader of Liugufan, to discuss what the Emperor of Song meant.

"President Pan Luo, Emperor Song asked us to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Why did I have some doubts about it? We have clearly submitted a minister to Song, so why did Emperor Song issue an edict?"

After Zhe Gezhi said that, Pan Luo frowned. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, some Jiedushi had also been retained, but with so many years of development, the position of Jiedushi has now disappeared.

The two people in Liangzhou are still considered military governors and belong to independent regimes. What Guo Hao said about surrender is obviously to require military regimes.

"Zhe Bu leader, don't you understand that Emperor Song was named our Jiedushi before, and now he wants to take back this appointment and rule us in a unified manner!"

"But is there any difference?"

"Why didn't we? If we were the governors, the army, finance, and the government were all handled by ourselves, but once we surrendered to the Song Dynasty, we would have nothing!"

"What?"

Only if you have it, you will not be willing to give it up. After so many years of independence, one day I suddenly say that you obey management, which is unlikely to be accepted by anyone.

"Captain Pan Luo, what should we do? With our strength, we can't refuse Song State!"

Pan Luo was thinking about this. At this time, the Song Dynasty was strong and not the "fat" in history. Guo Hao ruled the world with great talent and strategy, and even the Liao Kingdom was afraid of him.

However, although Guo Hao recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, many people still had "fear of Liao". Later, Guo Hao occupied the land of Liaodong, which made many people realize that the Khitan was not that scary, and at the same time, it also allowed people from foreign tribes to see the power of the Song Dynasty.

After fighting in the Northeast, he came to the Northwest. Pan Luo secretly complained in his heart. Now the Dangxiang people are almost dealt with by Guo Hao. Although Tubo still has power, he does not want to go to war with the Song Dynasty.

"Tuyuhun went to Liao to pay tribute not long ago. Can we seek the protection of Liao? If Liao is willing to send troops to help us, it may be able to restrain the Song court."

Pan Luosi thought about it and said this method. Zhe Ge pondered for a while. It seemed that this method was the only one at the moment.

So both sides secretly sent envoys to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom, seeking asylum in the Liao Kingdom, hoping that the Liao Kingdom would send troops to support the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Xian was very happy to see the envoy. At this time, the Song and Liao countries were already mortal enemies, and the enemy was a friend. How could Yelu Xian not agree?

After receiving the Liao Emperor's reply, the two of them felt confident, but after waiting for a long time, the Song State suddenly stopped moving.

...

Bianliang Imperial Palace, Gonghammer Hall.

"You all saw it. Liangzhou sent envoys to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom, ignoring my edict, and his intention to be unofficial is obvious. Do you still think it is unnecessary?"

The cabinet minister, the Minister of War, and two princes, Zhao Kuangyin, were all there, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing at this time. Guo Hao used facts to prove that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different!

"You should know very well what Liangzhou is. I have worked hard to capture Shuofang and Dangxiang, isn't it just a place to raise horses?

Liangzhou is the most suitable place for horse raising in the northwest. Although our army is not weak, the cavalry has always been a weak link!

The Liao Kingdom strictly controlled the flow of war horses into our dynasty. Horses inland were not suitable for combat in the north. I could make soldiers adapt, but where did the war horses come from?"

Guo Hao became more and more angry the more he thought about it. A small Liangzhou dared to betray the Song Dynasty. Those late-day people were just slaves. Without Tubo, they would be nothing!

Now that the identities of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are exchanged, the existence of the Western Xia is gone, and Tubo will surrender to the Khitan. This is in line with the way of survival of a weak country and makes sense in principle.

But they made sense in theory, and they lost face to the Song Dynasty. Guo Hao only said "submission" in the edict, without mentioning other words, and directly betrayed the two tribes. How could he not be angry?

"Your Majesty calmed down. The old minister felt that there was nothing wrong with this move at the end. He paid tribute to the Khitan just to protect himself. Our dynasty only needed to comfort him. The Tubo dynasty was more inclined to our dynasty and would not rely on the Liao Kingdom."

Wang Pu was a peace faction and felt that as long as no one invaded the Song Dynasty, it was not important for foreign tribes to rely on. Guo Hao's words scared them, just coax them.

The other three ministers also felt that as long as the court did not move troops, everything was possible. In Guo Hao's words, if it could be resolved by diplomatic means, it would be easy to move.

"appease?"

Guo Hao laughed furiously: "Don't you see the ambition of Tubo yet? If you surrender to the Song Dynasty at the end, they would cut off their ties with the Liao Kingdom!

The Uighurs in Ganzhou and the Khitan are in ambiguous relationship. If they are allowed to unite, wouldn’t the northwest add another force!

Besides, have you forgotten the Guiyi Army? That is the Han regime. As long as we conquer the Uighurs in the Ultimate period, defeat the Ganzhou Uighurs, and then take back the Guiyi Army, we will directly cut off the connection between the Liao Kingdom and the Western Regions!"

Seeing that they didn't speak, Guo Hao was probably thinking and continued: "The Western Regions were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Hexi Corridor was a strategic location. Don't you know?

You are all afraid of a group of last-minute people. The enemies you will face in the future will be ten times more terrible than them. Are you worthy of your descendants?"

What Guo Hao said was the truth. Whether it was Dangxiang Tubo, or the current Tatars and later Mongolia, they were all nightmares of the Central Plains dynasty.

If Guo Hao was an ancient man, he would probably not be able to prevent some things from happening, but he had the insights of later generations. Not to mention anything else, he could defend the territory of China with the advantage of weapons alone!

He can't tell others about history, and they won't believe it even if they say it. However, Guo Hao can change his words, after all, the ancients were still very superstitious.

"I had a dream yesterday, dreaming of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han. They told me to be careful of the nations they are locked up. They are the biggest hidden dangers in subverting the Central Plains dynasty!

You may not believe me if I say this, but do you know why I was able to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty and recover Yan Yun?

It is because a god asked me to dream, saying that if I don’t seize the time, I may not have a chance next.

Think about it now, if I had not pacified the Northern Han Dynasty and recovered the land of Yanyun before ascending the throne, would our Song Dynasty have today?

I don’t take the countries in the south seriously at all. Since ancient times, the north has been the most unstable and worry-free.

Now that Yelu Xian of Liao Kingdom has ascended the throne, Xiao Chuo, the daughter of Xiao Siwen, assisted him. I have seen Xiao Chuo, and his face is no less than Wu Zetian in the past!

I am not saying that there will be an empress in Liao Kingdom, but that the north is prosperous, but my Song Dynasty is very weak. I am very worried about this!"

After Guo Hao said this, Chen Tuan, who was reclining in Huashan, suddenly felt a sense of his heart. He felt that the light around him was a little dazzling. He was shocked when he opened his eyes.

I saw that the originally bright Ziwei Star in the north suddenly darkened, and Xuanyuan Star shined brightly, and the light covered the other imperial stars in the sky, looking very dazzling.

Si Tianjian also monitored this abnormality. The Ziwei Emperor Star was covered by Xuanyuan Star. They had never seen this phenomenon before!

Someone immediately reported this abnormal phenomenon to Guo Hao. Even if Guo Hao did not believe in the theory of numerology, he could not help but be stunned.

Xuanyuan Star, Xuanyuan...

Xuanyuan is the name of the emperor, and China calls itself the descendants of Yan and Huang. Xuanyuan Star shines, does it mean that China is prosperous!

Upon hearing this news, Guo Hao laughed and suddenly asked, "What day is today!"

Sandezi quickly replied: "Your Majesty, today is the first day of October."

"On the first day of October, China will prosper... People come and pass on my decree. From today on, the first day of October every year will be the Hua Festival, and there will be three days of national vacation to celebrate China!"
