The Liao cavalry entered the Song territory, crossed the flat Hebei routes and went straight to the city of Bianliang, which once became a nightmare that the people of the Song Dynasty could not escape.

For this reason, the Song Dynasty had to spend huge sums of money on various routes in Hebei to dig out ditches and rivers, and plant rows of towering trees in order to limit the Liao people's iron cavalry to drive.

Later, when the Western Xia rose, the Song Ting shifted the focus of defense to the northwest, and the Khitans were even more unscrupulous.

Although they hold annual monies every year and enjoy trade under the covenant, they still often make grass valleys on the border, and are heavily in debt.

Now a general from Xixia is coming to Dali.

The Dali king is naturally a good hospitality.

The two sides held harmonious talks.

The general of Xixia even told the news that the four countries had attacked the Song Dynasty.

The king of Dali was deeply thinking. Although there was a reason for the loss of lips and teeth to be cold, he could not overcome the difficulties in front of him.

Should the Western Xia soldiers be allowed to borrow the road?

If you give in, then there will be three ways for the four countries to attack the Song Dynasty.

But it is difficult to ensure that Xixia has no male ambitions and will take the opportunity to annex Dali.

...

On the other hand, the famous minister Zhao Kai returned to Sichuan and served as the Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy. The next step was to reform the major reforms and establish the Imperial Bank under his leadership.

Zhao Kai wrote a letter to thousands of words and began the reform of salt and tea in Sichuan and Shaanxi. It was abolished the monopoly policy of the government to acquire local governments. If all merchants want to sell salt and tea, they must go to Chengdu, Sichuan to ask for salt and tea.

In this way, Sichuan and Shaanxi's wealth once again tilted towards Chengdu, which also helped the court to control the local area to a deeper extent.

The business road has reopened, and the once prosperous Silk Road has shined again.

A memorial came from the northwest, saying that the Mongolians wanted to open borders and traded between the borders and exchanged horses, animal skins and beast tendons for food, iron tools and tea from the Song Dynasty.

Not only the Mongols, but also Yelu Dashi from the Liao Kingdom and small tribes on the grassland all took a fancy to the deal between Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Although the territory of Xixia has expanded, their control over some areas has decreased. Due to the insufficient population, they are unable to control all the important roads at all.

Zhao Kai said, "If the ancient tea-horse road is opened, it will greatly alleviate the need for horses in the Song Dynasty. When the Western Xia Dynasty sought peace, a group of Mongolian horses were once tributed.

This horse is short and has no appearance, but has a large head and short neck, strong body, wide chest and long mane, thick skin and thick hair, which is even more beneficial. This horse is not shocked or deceitful on the battlefield, and is extremely brave. It has always been a good military horse."

Although the Western Army had many war horses, most of them were rootless water, so they naturally needed to be supplemented urgently. Moreover, more war horses were needed in the inland. Today, the Zhao Guan family rode a bad horse, and they were willing to ride their own good horses when they went out to fight. This was also the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty.

Even Yue Fei and the Grand Marshal Yue strongly praised the cavalry. Among the back ghost army he formed, there was a large cavalry.

The Song Dynasty is short of horses!

If you win, you can't expand the results. When someone raises a horse whip, the infantry of the Song Dynasty can only stare at the back, running slowly and unable to even eat the dust.

Once they lose, the four-legged war horses, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could not escape.

The Mongols are not having a good life now. The Jurchens on the grassland implemented a policy of stocking, watching them kill each other, so as to implement their own rule.

If you use one word to describe the current life of the Mongolians, it is poverty.

If they could open a border trade with the Song Dynasty, it would be very happy for them. Their horses would no longer be taken away by the Jurchens at a low price, and they would not be able to exchange anything.

Unfortunately, the Jurchens did not do anything well.

The Khitans had a very strict defense against the Mongols, and they did not even allow weapons to flow into Mongolia, but the Jurchens relaxed their constraints on this.

So decades later, the Jurchens never expected that the one who defeated them in the end was the slave tribe they once looked down upon, and those who wore shoes did not win the barefoot.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty decided to start a deal with the Mongolians. Although Zhao Jiu was afraid of releasing a beast, Mongolia was not yet in a state of chaos and he was confident that he would rise faster than others.

What is worth mentioning is the trends in Hebei region.

After Wang Yan's Bazi Army retreated step by step.

There are almost no remnants of anti-Jin forces in Henan and Hebei. Even if there are, it will be fine, and it will not be a climate.

Some people began to defect to Yan and Qi, and even to Jin, while a small number of people were still fighting in the mountains.

In this regard, Zhao Jiu tried his best to reduce these anti-Jin forces as much as possible, and he could not let Liu Yu pick peaches all.

At the same time as the Eight Character Army ended, a new force emerged in the Taihang Mountains. It is said that it was the World Association founded by Xiongba, the leader of the Hebei Uprising Peasant Army. This son actually pulled up a mountain in the Taihang Mountains and made the name of resisting the Jin and supporting the Song Dynasty, which also attracted many heroes to help the boxing.

Survivors of the Eight Character Army joined one after another, and Xiongba also made a huge name.

When Zhao Jiuyuan heard about the dominance of the World Association in Jiankang, his body was shocked and he quickly sent Yuwen Xuzhong to inquire, and even asked repeatedly whether there were any rebel generals like Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng.

Yuwen Xuzhong quickly inquired from many sources, and Zhao Jiu also had a different thought in his heart. Are there other time travelers in this world besides him?

Since that's the case, I'd better send troops to wipe it out.

Although the final result was ridiculous.

Zhao Jiu was also amused and crying.

It turned out that Xiongba, whose surname was Xiong, was nicknamed Zai, and had a huge misunderstanding.

Zhao Jiu couldn't help but sigh, why didn't such a strange leader leave his name in history?

After selecting the Yulin Army, Yuwen Xuzhong sent two generals to send.

A surnamed Bu, Zhao Jiu gave the man the name Bu Jingyun.

A surnamed Nie, Zhao Jiu named this person Nie Feng.
