Chapter 414: No one's life is easy
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chuo, who stepped into the Nuan Pavilion with a cold wind, smiled and bowed to Yelujun who was reviewing the memorial. However, the eunuch Wang Jien who was serving Yelujun dared to come over and took Xiao Chuo's explanation.
The cloak underneath.
Ye Lujun put down his pen, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. It's freezing cold and you have to run around outside for nearly two months."
"It's my duty to share your worries with you!" Xiao Chuo leaned over and sat on the edge of the soft couch and said.
"How do you feel about this trip?" Seeing Wang Jien casually serving a cup of steaming fragrant tea to Xiao Chuo, Yelujun smiled and said, "Drink some first to warm your internal organs."
Taking a sip of hot tea, Xiao Chuo said: "The national treasury is empty and the military equipment is lax, but the following generals are fat and strong, and each of them is as rich as the enemy. Your Majesty, this time we have solved three generals
Junzhou, this year at least the military pay and rewards for the Pishi Military Year Festival will be in place."
"Money is still a secondary issue..." Yelujun said thoughtfully.
"Yes, money is secondary." Xiao Chuo shook his head: "What's more serious is that the combat effectiveness of the tribal armies below is completely worth mentioning. Even the Gong Branch Army's combat effectiveness is worrying. Shanshan Army was established
It only lasted a year, but it was completely overwhelming against the tribal army. In the first battle, the Liangqiangong branch army also rebelled with the tribal army. Under the repeated attacks of Qin Min and Wanyan Yujian, they could not survive a single pillar.
fragrant."
Yelujun let out a long sigh: "These families are still focused on doing something, and their armies are like this. It can be seen how the combat effectiveness of other military states that are just muddling along and just thinking about their lives. From the appearance of Daliao, we
It looks glamorous, and it is the largest country in the world today, but in fact, it has long been decayed on the inside. Compared with the Song Dynasty, they are really brothers and sisters. If you don't say I have scars, I won't say you are numb!"
"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, this situation will naturally change. But how can the Zhao father and son of the Song Dynasty have such courage? Every day from now on, we will get better, and they will get worse.
One point, it won't take long before the two families are completely separated!" Xiao Chuo said.
"That's not necessarily true!" Yelujun smiled and waved his hand: "When we enter the city, Ben An should give you a brief introduction, right?"
"The Song Dynasty is going to establish the Guizhou Road." Xiao Chuo nodded.
"Your second brother is really amazing." Yelujun said: "Such a situation actually caused him to turn the tables, but after retiring for more than a year, he returned to the stage. To be honest, when I saw this
When I received the information, I was really shocked. The twenty-five-year-old comfort envoy along the way!"
"I really didn't expect it!" Xiao Chuo seemed not to want to talk more about this topic.
"Xiao Cheng is rectifying the southwest." Yelujun frowned slightly and said seriously: "In the past, Qianxinan Guizhou, the Luo Ghost Kingdom, and the Luo Dian Kingdom could only be regarded as vassals of the Song State, including the Yang family of Bozhou, the Tian family of Sizhou, and the Song Dynasty.
In fact, we still have to guard against them. They cannot be a help to the Song State, but will drag down the energy of the Song people. But now, things are completely different."
"Your Majesty is worried that the Song Dynasty people can get ahead of us?" Xiao Chuo sneered. "The Zhao family will not talk about him. They will only talk about a few people in the capital now. Xia Jie can be regarded as a paper framer.
He is a good hand at mending the wall and building a tall building from the ground. He really doesn't have the ability. Luo Song can do things, but he is a typical person who is resourceful and quick to make decisions. He cannot support the overall situation. Needless to say, Cui Ang
Having him in the capital of the Song Dynasty is a blessing to the Liao Dynasty. However, Privy Council Chen Gui, as the leader of millions of troops in the Song Dynasty, was indecisive. He knew clearly the problems of the Song Dynasty army but was helpless to do anything. He was timid in doing things because he was afraid of this.
Well, as for Li Guang, a Privy Councilor who was born as a royal censor, hehe, does he know which way the gate of the military camp opens? With Chen Gui around, he can barely hold on. Once Chen Gui leaves, Li Guang becomes the head of the Privy Council.
, Song’s army would be considered good if it didn’t mutiny.”
Listening to Xiao Chuo's harsh comments on several powerful officials in Song Dynasty, Ye Lujun couldn't help but laugh and said: "If they heard what you said, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood. But in my opinion, now on Hebei Road
Ma Xing is pretty good, and the feudal ministers along the southeast coast are also quite unique in managing local areas."
"If your brain is sick, no matter how good the other parts are, what's the use?" Xiao Chuo said disdainfully. "Your Majesty, when King Jing was here, how sharp were the frontier troops of the Song State? But once King Jing left, tens of thousands of frontier troops were on the Hebei Road.
So what?"
"The tens of thousands of frontier troops of the Song Dynasty, coupled with local troops, local warriors, and regiment training, were enough to organize an army of hundreds of thousands. It really troubled me at the beginning. I had been planning for several years to shake this roadblock, but in the end I failed
It was the Emperor of Song who helped me a lot!" Yelujun smiled proudly. He was able to sit in this position because of his meritorious service this time.
"So, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the Song Dynasty at all. Now we just need to do our own thing well." Xiao Chuo said.
"But I'm worried about your two brothers!" Yelujun said: "Originally, I thought your eldest brother would fight to the death with the Song Dynasty on the road to Shaanxi, so that I would have an opportunity. But there are Gao Gao around your eldest brother.
People, they clearly defeated the Song people on the Shaanxi Road, but in the end they were able to abandon the fertile land, turned around and retreated to the north of Hengshan, and stopped fighting with the Song people. Such actions are not something ordinary people can do.
"
"That's all. With his current strength, it would be no problem to establish himself as a king and build a country on his own. However, he did not do this by nature, and now he is still flying the banner of the general manager of the Western March of the Song Dynasty." Yelu.
Jun smiled bitterly: "If he establishes himself as king, he will become a mortal enemy of the Song Dynasty. But now that he is like this, he has given the Song people unlimited space for imagination, and it has also allowed me, Daliao, to still pay great attention to him.
.His army is not as easy to deal with as the Song people."
"As far as I know, the eldest brother is heading west. He will not have the energy to pay attention to Daliao for at least five years." Xiao Chuo said calmly: "Whether it is the hometown of Tubo or the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, he will be busy enough.
.For the Western Army, we only need to ensure adequate surveillance now."
"The three-pronged strategy proposed by Xiao Ding to attack the Liao Dynasty was extremely ruthless. Now the middle road has been destroyed by us, but the west road is like a sharp knife, directly pressing against our waist, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
It's really uncomfortable, but for a while, we have no way to deal with him. Not only can we not fall out with him, we also have to be careful to win over him."
"Didn't Lin Ping go? He is very clever, and he might be able to make great achievements for Daliao and convince his eldest brother!" Xiao Chuo said.
Ye Lujun's eyes flashed, but he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Chuo's hand: "Lin Ping is a confidant I rely on, and he is also my senior brother..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything." Xiao Chuo shook off Ye Lujun's hand and said bluntly: "With the current situation, your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will not touch him, but when will I destroy the Song Dynasty?
When will we start to deal with the Lin family, Your Majesty can tell him the same."
Yelujun laughed a few times, knowing Xiao Chuo's temper, but he stopped trying to persuade him.
As long as we can all be in the same boat right now, that will be fine.
Gu Yi
When the Song Dynasty is really destroyed in the future, we will have another headache.
"Now that your second brother is running the south for the Song Dynasty, it is something that we have to pay attention to." Yelujun continued: "The south is rich and has been the granary of the Song people over the years. The southwest is certain, and the Song people are even more powerful in the south, and
According to intelligence, the army your second brother established in the southwest is quite as impressive as your eldest brother's."
"Based on my understanding of the Song Dynasty court, even if Guizhou Road is established and the second brother becomes the pacifier, they will try their best to restrain his hands and feet." Xiao Chuo walked to the side of Nuan Pavilion and looked at the wall.
He looked at the huge map in front of him, considered it for a while, and then said: "Since Your Majesty is so worried about him, then we might as well find something else for him to do so that his energy will always be involved in the affairs in the south and he will be busy solving these things and unable to fully develop.
?”
"you mean?"
"Dali, Jiaozhi and other places!" Xiao Chuo poked his finger on the map: "We might as well send talented people to go south with money, sneak into these places, encourage them to form an alliance with us, Daliao, and promise to carve up the Song Dynasty with them in the future. If we can
Convince them and let them take action in the south, and then the second brother will be in a state of panic."
"Wonderful! I knew you had a way!" Yelujun clapped his hands and laughed: "But you have to find someone who can speak well."
"Why don't we just let Lin Ping go? He will be back from Xingqing Mansion soon, right?" Xiao Chuo said coldly.
Yelujun laughed: "Queen, just now you said that you didn't care about Pingzhi before destroying the Song Dynasty. Why did you throw him to the south in a blink of an eye? Now is the critical moment. After Pingzhi comes back, I am ready to let him take over the south.
Courtyard."
Xiao Chuo snorted, but said nothing.
"You said, if I, as a prince, invite your second brother to come to Daliao to work together on a great cause, will he come?" Yelujun asked: "From what you have said, your second brother doesn't care about me in Daliao.
Like other Song people who regard us as barbarians, since he also regards us as Liao as part of China, is there any difference between serving Song or Liao?"
"Not discriminating does not necessarily mean that you can agree with it." Xiao Chuo shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if he really comes, I'm afraid you will only raise him with high officials and generous salaries, and you don't dare to give him any real power, right?"
Yelujun laughed, but did not refute.
"My second brother is like a master who shines brightly when given a little sunshine." Xiao Chuo said: "Furthermore, he has never been optimistic about Daliao's system. In his words, Daliao's current system will eventually become an obstacle."
Obstacles to Daliao's advancement."
"The system of the Northern and Southern Houses of Daliao is the foundation of Daliao's prosperity! For hundreds of years, it has been running in parallel without any hindrance. There have indeed been some problems over the years. It's not that I have never thought about merging the two into one, but in detail
Thinking about it, I'm afraid that if this is really the case, the Song Kingdom will not collapse, but we will collapse." Yelujun shook his head and said: "If you really want to take this step, as you said, you have to wait until the world is unified.
Now, nothing can be done."
"My subordinates are extremely worried!" Xiao Chuo said: "Right now, we can only treat the symptoms. We must first enrich the country and strengthen the army, and unify the world. Then we can concentrate on this matter after we have nothing else to focus on. By then, there will be no powerful foreign enemies, and we can naturally focus on it."
Clean up the interior."
"I'm calling you back this time because I'm preparing to restore our Daliao Four Seasons Nabo system!" Yelujun said: "My father has been sick on his bed in recent years, and the Four Seasons Nabo system exists in name only. This is also the case for military prefectures, prefectures and counties in various places.
The reason why the tribe is a little arrogant is that starting from the next spring, Nabo will be reopened and the palace will be able to intimidate all parties. At the same time, it can also reorganize the army, and there is no need for you to run around outside all the time. "
"Your Majesty, what did I suggest to you before to build Zhongjing?" Xiao Chuo said: "Build Zhongjing as the new capital, control the four capitals with Zhongjing as the core, and use it as the core area of Daliao. The Nabo system can revitalize the army.
Wu, but the construction of Zhongjing allowed us to have a real political center and economic center in Daliao. Just like Bianliang in the Song Dynasty, it would be useless to destroy the Song Dynasty without reaching Bianliang."
"You take care of this matter!" Yelujun laughed.
"Seriously? Give me full power?" Xiao Chuo's eyes widened.
"I give you full authority!" Yelujun said: "But one thing is that the construction of Zhongjing cannot delay my revitalization of the palace and other matters related to the division of the army, and not a single cent of military expenses can be misappropriated."
"Of course not!" Xiao Chuo said happily: "The army is the foundation of the country, how can I not know the importance? If the city building is done well, not only will we not lose money, but we will also make money!"
"This is the first time I've heard this. I've only heard that building a new city is a waste of time and money, and often leads to some big accidents that are difficult to deal with. It's surprising that you can make money!" Yelujun was stunned.
"These are some things that the second brother told me." Xiao Chuo took a breath: "I was also very strange at the time, so I pestered him to ask how to make money instead of losing money, but I didn't expect that.
It can actually be used in the construction of Zhongjing. Your Majesty, you can go there next spring. By the time you come back in winter, Zhongjing will have already reached a certain scale."
"Seriously, you will be my hero of the Liao Dynasty." Yelu Jun said.
"As long as those veterans in the North Courtyard stop scolding me behind my back." Xiao Chuo said calmly.
"When you build Zhongjing, these people will admire you so much that they will no longer dare to speak nonsense. If there are still people talking nonsense at that time, just kill them!" Yelujun said with a smile.
Xiao Chuo stood up with a smile and prepared to leave.
Ye Lujun took her hand, with a sad look on his face, and said: "If you and I can have a child, I will definitely make him a prince. By then, it will be your eldest brother or your second brother."
