Luo Youdu sat at the top and had a panoramic view of the flustered and frightened expressions of Li Guangrui and Han Junxiong.
After receiving Li Mu's letter, Luo Youdu immediately understood why the Dingnan Army directed and acted this scene.
Historically, Xixia fought from north to south, captured the fortress south of the Yangtze River, and captured the Hexi Corridor, becoming a behemoth in the northwest.
Even so, Xixia could not bear the blow of losing Hengshan.
In history, in order to wipe Song Zhenzong's butt, the Song Dynasty, starting from Fan Zhongyan, passed through generations of people such as Han Qi, Li Xian, Zhang Kai, etc., used shallow attacks and decades of efforts to capture Hengshan in Xixia.
, forcing Xixia into the state of national subjugation in one fell swoop.
Then there will be no more...
Before the Song Dynasty could deal a real fatal blow to Xixia, the Jingkang Incident occurred.
The Southern Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful, and Xixia had no connection with the Song Dynasty.
But there is no doubt that Hengshan is the lifeblood of Xixia, and it is also the lifeblood of the current army.
As the half-owner of Hengshan Qiang, Li Yiyin naturally could not sit back and watch them interact so closely with the Central Plains.
After Luo Youdu noticed it, he immediately notified Li Mu to contact Tuoba Xiong, and sent Guo Wuwei to contact Tuoba Xiong for political purposes.
Sure enough, Li Yiyin made a big fuss about the Hengshan Qiang by taking advantage of the fact that he was robbed of tribute gifts, and asked the Hengshan Qiang near Yulin to migrate to Suizhou and Yinzhou in order to better control the Hengshan Qiang.
Li Yiyin still has a certain prestige in the Dingnan Army over the years, and his words have shaken many people.
The same was true for Tuoba Xiong, but for the rest of the month, his interactions with Li Mu were indeed very pleasant.
Tuoba Bear is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. Hengshan is rich in salt, iron, horses and other materials.
The Northern Han Dynasty was poor, and trade with the Hengshan Qiang was driving down the price difference. The Northern Han merchants even bullied the Hengshan Qiang who did not understand trade and acted arbitrarily, which made Tuoba Xiong and other Hengshan Qiang extremely unhappy.
But under Li Mu's promotion, the border market was opened.
The merchants from the Central Plains were not good men and women, and they had also lowered prices. However, Li Mu upheld justice and punished the merchants from the Central Plains.
Through a mutually beneficial approach, the border market will become more and more popular.
Li Mu and Guo Wuwei met Tuoba Xiong.
Tuoba Bear is hesitating whether to migrate or not.
After all, an arm cannot twist a thigh. With the current momentum of the Central Plains, no matter how tyrannical they are, the Hengshan Qiang cannot be their opponent.
I only regret that the Orichalcum tribe was blinded by the money and had its brain kicked by the donkey, and actually looted the tribute gifts sent to the Central Plains to celebrate the new king's enthronement.
Li Mu didn't understand military matters, but Guo Wuwei was different. When he was in the Northern Han Dynasty, he had an idea of the Hengshan Qiang. He knew the relationship between the Dingnan Army and the Hengshan Qiang very well, and he analyzed the causes and consequences with Tuoba Xiong.
The border market is so popular that Tuoba Xiong sees that his tribe can live a good life and is reluctant to leave his home.
Tuoba Xiong convened the clan tribes with whom he had good relations while going to investigate the situation of the Orichalcum Tribe.
Not a single member of the Orichalcum tribe is left.
It turns out that the Orichalcum tribe has been relying on the copper mines entrenched in the mountains to survive. With over-exploitation, there is no more copper to mine, and livelihood problems have arisen.
Li Yiyin had been trying to move the Hengshan Qiang people to Xiazhou. Due to livelihood reasons, the Orichalcum tribe got in touch with Li Yiyin early and staged a drama of robbery.
Tuoba Xiong was furious. Under Guo Wuwei's persuasion, he, who was unwilling to leave his homeland, directly defected to the Central Plains. He led the wild wolf clan and the Falcon clan with whom he had the best relationship, and quickly came to Bianjing.
Regarding the arrival of the three people, Luo Youdu directly used the etiquette of receiving envoys from other countries and received the three people in Zichen Hall.
Hengshan is extremely rich in products. Tea Mountain and Zoulu Mountain in the east of Hengshan are the main producing areas of salt and iron.
These are all urgently needed materials in the Central Plains. If they become our own, there will be no need to turn border markets into bazaars, and there will be no additional taxes.
The Hengshan Qiang can enjoy the same treatment as the common people in the Central Plains, but each tribe needs to form a Hengshan Fan army and be dispatched by the court.
After a detailed discussion, both Luo Youdu and Tuoba Xiong were satisfied.
Luo Youdu took the trump card to destroy the Dingnan Army and obtained a powerful force that is famous in history. Tuoba Xiong and others also received benefits, and the tribesmen were able to live a good life.
"Death penalty! Your Majesty..."
Li Guangrui reacted very quickly and knelt down directly on the ground.
Han Junxiong also followed suit, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
Luo Youdu stood up angrily and shouted: "I uphold benevolence and righteousness, and I have offended you many times without letting go of the past. However, you treat me as a fool and deceive me. My tolerance and generosity are rewarded by your advancement. Well, since you don't want to
Live this life well, I will grant you my wish. I will give you ten days to leave our territory, let your father accept the land and surrender, and surrender our Chinese territory with both hands. Otherwise, I will send an army to crush Xia Sui and destroy your Li family.
The whole family is extinct..."
He stared angrily and shouted: "Get out!"
Li Guangrui and Han Junxiong were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
The soldiers of the Royal Camp Division held the two men up and dragged them down.
When Tuoba Xiong, Gong Wu, and Jiang Longhu saw the Emperor of Central Plains who looked so amiable to them, they suddenly became furious and made bold statements about destroying the Li family. A trace of fear could not help but appear in their eyes.
Thinking of the great feat of the Emperor of Central Plains to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty in less than a month, they looked at each other and secretly rejoiced that they had made the right choice. They did not move into Hengshan and become a grasshopper on a rope with the Li family.
Rationally speaking, now is not the time to break up with the Dingnan Army.
To break up with the Dingnan Army at this moment is to force them to surrender to the Khitan.
But fuck rationality.
Li Yiyin and his gang are just ignorant white-eyed wolves.
No matter who he accepts as his father, the Khitan really dares to protect such a son, even the Khitan takes care of him.
Luo Youdu really didn't take the Dingnan Army seriously and had no desire to conquer it himself.
Luo Youdu sat on the chair again, with a pleasant look on his face, and said: "I wanted to entertain the three patriarchs well and invite the three patriarchs to attend my coronation ceremony. But now it seems that time does not allow it... You all submitted to the imperial court.
The matter will soon reach the ears of Li Yiyin, and I predict that they will not sit still and wait for death, but will definitely incite other Hengshan Qiang to become enemies with you, and may even send troops themselves."
As the largest Qiang tribe in Hengshan, Tuoba Xiong was very confident and said, "It's up to them whether they come or not, but whether they can leave or not is up to us."
Luo Youdu smiled and praised: "What a courageous man, what a hero. But I think that every life of the warriors of the Lynx, Falcon, and Wild Wolf tribes is precious. It is not wise to fight to the death. The Yang family of Linzhou and the Fugu Zhe family
, as well as the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in Bianjing, and the tens of millions of people in the imperial court, are all the backing of the three clan heads. If my family needs support, there is no need to be polite."
Tuoba Xiong, Gong Wu, and Jiang Longhu were instantly confident and left.
Luo Youdu returned to the Yanhe Hall and asked Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Song Qi, Dou Yi, and Zhao Pu to come over. He told them that he had driven Li Guangrui and Han Junxiong from the disaster army out of the palace, and asked Li Yiyin to surrender.
matter.
Zhao Pu, as always, was the first to respond: "This is how we deal with such Zhongshan wolves. We must let the world know. Your Majesty's benevolence is not a reason for their indulgence. Whoever dares to cross the line will not be spared lightly."
Dou Yi frowned and said: "Li Yiyin deserves to be killed. I can send troops to Xia Sui to deal with the current situation. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate."
Wei Renpu said: "Xia Sui is not difficult to defeat, but how to govern is difficult. The Li family has deep roots in the five states of Dingnan, and the people of the five states deeply cherish their virtues. It is easy to destroy, but it will grow again next year like weeds."
Luo Youdu nodded and secretly praised Wei Renpu's strategic vision.
Historically, the car god Zhao Kuangyi played drifting for the Khitans in the Sorghum River Hammer, just like finding a sense of presence on the trouble-making army.
Through a show of manipulation, Li Jipeng was persuaded to dedicate his ancestral land to the Song Dynasty.
As a result, the operation was improper and 20-year-old Li Jiqian escaped.
Li Jiqian started a business with a dozen people, and gradually forced Zhao Kuangyi to return all the prefectures and counties that Zhao Kuangyi had captured to Li Jiqian.
Li Jiqian's ability to turn defeat into victory step by step and turn the tide is inseparable from the fact that the Li family has been operating in the Dingnan Army for many years.
Many wealthy party members in the Dingnan Army openly and covertly supported Li Jiqian.
Therefore, unless all the Li family members are killed, as long as one person is left, he will become a trouble in the future.
The north of the Dingnan Army is a yellow sand desert. Hidden deep in the yellow sand, if it comes out to cause trouble from time to time, it is easy for people to fall into the quagmire of war.
Luo Youdu praised: "Prime Minister Wei is extremely worried."
Zhao Pu said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve. It is useless for ordinary people to remember the kindness of the Li family. It is difficult for them to provide support to the Li family. The local wealthy family is the key. As for the trouble-making army, I thought that we should directly cut off all contact and send
Good generals live in all directions of Dingnan, encroaching on Dingnan's territory. At the same time, Mingfu Valley cuts off the trade routes between Dingnan's army and the Khitan. We don't need to mobilize a large army, consume more food and pay, and we don't need to win quickly. We can fight him for a year or two, or even
Three or four years will be devoted to military training."
"The land in the five states where the Dingnan Army lives is short of supplies and it is difficult to be self-sufficient. In a few years, the soldiers will be exhausted and the people will be scarce, and the wealthy families in the territory will suffer heavy losses. By then, I am afraid they want the Li family to be defeated more than we do.
How can we possibly support the Li family?"
Luo Youdu clasped his hands together and said: "Zhao Aiqing's plan is very popular with me, so let's do it like this. The Difficult Army is the grindstone of the court. The border troops and the Imperial Guards who lack combat experience can use it to practice..."
Then several people discussed the specific matters of the economic blockade, and then the transfer of general officers.
The first thing Luo Youdu thought of was Yao Neibin. Yao Da Chong, who had frightened Xixia in history, appointed Luo Youdu as the governor of Xizhou. At the same time, he appointed Dong Zunjiao as the governor of Yanzhou, Li Hanchao as the governor of Yanzhou, and Ma Renyu as Ling.
The governor of the state, together with the Yang family of Linzhou in the east, were surrounded by military forces on three sides, giving them the power to adapt to the situation.
The fate of the Dingnan Army soon spread throughout Bianjing.
From the time when the tribute gifts were robbed to when the Hengshan Qiang surrendered, it only took ten days.
In a short period of time, the Central Plains court had an insight into the thoughts and intentions of the disaster-rescuing army. This efficiency was so fast that all the envoys who paid attention to this incident were faintly frightened.
The way they dealt with the troubled army made them even more awe-inspiring: This was a declaration of war without leaving any room...
