Yelu Longqing said to Liu An, you think I am stupid.

But he still answered: "He is even 30,000, and I want to flatten him. Why dare to increase the price on spices at will?"

"Yes, yes, that's the reason. This is the spice war, which is happening now, or is about to happen, and is located forty thousand miles west from here. Since you understand this truth, then the same thing is the wool war, the tea war, the iron war. It's right around us."

Yelu Longqing understood.

Liu An didn't think he was a fool, just because he was afraid that he wouldn't see clearly.

Yelu Longqing asked: "You mean, those guys on the grassland want to kill me."

"Yes, there are now three commercial roads on the grassland, and thousands of people have died in Xizhou. There is no need to explain why."

"I heard that there is war with the Naiman tribe over the grassland almost every month. According to your statement, the Naiman tribe is unwilling to trade salt, tea, and iron in Xizhou?"

"No, because the Naiman tribe has no money and wants things. They just robbed them for the sake of robbing. The Klei tribe was unwilling to accept that the Dangxiang people had too ruthlessly increased the price. I know, but I didn't care. I was waiting for the Klei tribe to move south in a large scale, and the Dangxiang people could not bear it anymore. Then the soldiers from the northwest went north and cleaned up the Klei tribe at one time, and also cleaned up the Dangxiang people."

"Gao, this is the king's method." Yelu Longqing poured wine for Liu An.

Liu An continued: "Now, no matter what, I only talk about the wool war. You may not think of the value of wool in the next ten years. Our Song Dynasty, salt, iron, cloth, and grain can be said to be a must-have for survival. Soon, wool will become the fifth one. Why? Because there is wool, there will be winter nights."

"wool!"

"Yes, the war caused by wool will continue in the future. Therefore, only those who truly control the grassland can truly master wool."

Yelu Longqing asked again: "Don't you have a very large grassland with abundant water and grass?"

Liu An sighed: "No, I just saw it, just take the map and draw it here first."

Great, Yelu Longqing has always been a ruthless man who led troops to rob the city of Song Dynasty, but compared to Liu An, he suddenly realized that he was still far from it.

This person took the map and drew the territory first, and then sold it to Yelu Aqige's fool 10 million acres.

Yelu Longqing asked directly: "How many people do the other party have?"

"Well, I guess. The lands of Song, Liao, grassland, Xizhou, and Liaodong are all added. There may be 100,000 or 200,000 people who are still eating raw meat and living in thatched houses. There may not be no, that is a land without a border, and whoever takes the place to belong to him."

"This is so big?"

"I won't lie to you. I say it's so big, it's so big."

"I want ten million acres of pasture, and I can raise ten million sheep."

"That's a later story. Let's talk about the present. If you have cleaned up the tribes in the grassland, I'll do some calculations for you. Reselling weapons is money, and food is money. If you buy wool and sell it to me, it's still money."

Yelu Longqing's head was a little dizzy: "I don't understand."

"Okay, I will explain it to you. First of all, your Liao Kingdom sent a military governor on the grassland. All the tribes need to pay tribute horses, camels, marten rat skins, green rat skins, etc., and they need to send troops to recruit. Isn't it?"

"right."

Liu An said again: "The heavy tribute and the greed and cruelty of the governors made them unbearable and aroused many rebellions. Is this a matter? Moreover, the scale of rebellion is getting bigger and bigger. Is this a matter?"

"have."

Liu An continued: "In the past, you Liao people had a very high control over the grassland. But in the 25th year of the Song and Liao war, you Liao people were all thinking about us Song people. What changes do you think will be made on the grassland in the past twenty-five years?"

Yelu Longqing replied: "They have become stronger. It can be said that the battle between Song and me Khitan was the opportunity to develop. At present, I can only say that except for about half of the tribes of the Tatar tribe who are truly loyal to my Great Khitan, the rest may be opposed at any time, and some people even want to destroy my Great Khitan."

"I ask again, what if there is a big hero on the grassland and unify the grassland, then what?"

Yelu Longqing said: "We will all die."

Liu An asked again: "If the tribes in the grassland rebelled and you Liao people went to suppress the rebellion, I dare say that a great defeat would make all the grassland rebel."

"yes."

"So, we do this. Didn't Yelu Aqige want to make a fortune? He asked someone to bring 20,000 troops to the Japanese island, plus 50,000 troops from the east and west battalions. He asked him to write an IOU and lend him food, grass and weapons first. He asked him to clean up the Tatar'er's troops, and then join the army, and the rebels sent them to mine."

Yelu Longqing nodded. With Yelu Aqige's brain, it's not OK to do anything else, but to fight.

Liu An said: "Sheep, wool, rebellion, people, spoils, horses, are all money. Then the rest of the troops rotate and clean up the entire grassland. Are you afraid that there will be not enough troops? You have money, food, and weapons. The soldiers and horses of the entire Liao Kingdom will listen to you. The only trouble is your brother and your mother."

Yelu Longqing smiled helplessly: "They can do nothing."

Liu An didn't understand: "I don't understand."

Yelu Longqing smiled bitterly: "I only know, just before the banquet."

Liu An asked: "What?"

"Yoshi Yi has returned and has become the king. He has 400,000 soldiers. It is not a false one, but a real 400,000. It only took seven days to get these people to follow him. He now occupies the Liaoyang Prefecture of the Great Khitan Tokyo, and Jianfeng is directed to Shangjing. He attacks Liaoyang without a single arrow. Guess what he used?"

"What?" Liu An was really curious.

"He sent a thousand cavalry, and each cavalry was not worn by armor or sword, but only carried leather bags. One thousand cavalry was spreading money outside the Liaoyang Prefecture Gate, and he scattered a full six thousand cavalry." At this point, Yelu Longqing took out a piece of money and handed it to Liu An.

How could Liu An not recognize him? This is his own overseas sandwich copper coin.

Yelu Longqing said again: "There is no you behind this?"

"I really don't know." Liu An didn't say anything nonsense, he really didn't know.

Yelu Longqing asked: "I will write a book and invite him to come here, okay?"

"Do you want me to write with me?"

"Of course."

"Okay." Liu An agreed.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that Oshimoto made a fortune. The people he brought and the people who kept motivating to go to the Japanese island were all inferior people from the Khitan, all poor people.

Then these made a fortune.

But at present, to fully pacify the Japanese island, more troops are needed.

He came back to summon people, but was discovered, so he killed the person who was about to inform him, and then pulled up his troops and challenged the Khitan royal court directly.

There is another reason why he dares to do this.

Not because of Liu An.
