The Li family in the Western Xia has been dominated by the northwest for more than 21 years, but if you think about it carefully, from Li Sigong, the leader of Dangxiang Tuoba in the late Tang Dynasty to the present day, the Li family regime has been entrenched in that place for more than a hundred years.

In the words of Song Beiyun, the Li family was a parasite-like family. They surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the regimes of the Five Dynasties had weak powers with the Song Dynasty. Later, the Song Dynasty was in a weak position and surrounded Liao. They also had good friends with Tubo and Heijue, which was a match for everyone.

If anyone cares about Xixia, no one cares about Xixia. It is a place where QQ searches and sneaks, and doesn’t even take a shower. There is no one who looks at him in the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty.

But in the past decade, Xixia has fully interpreted an idiom, that is, keep a low profile. It secretly developed a wave of secret development while the battle between Song and Liao, Song and Jin, Jin and Liao, Liao and Mongolia.

It is said that the entire Western Xia has 300,000 powerful soldiers and countless elite soldiers and generals. They are eager to try their best, and they are competing for the Central Plains to get a share of the pie.

However, with the sting and stealing of Xixia in history, they did not dare to do it openly, so they could only play some dirty tricks in private. They first stole Shaanxi land that should have belonged to the Liao Kingdom, and even the old capital Chang'an was taken down by them, and then they took Luoyang into his pocket.

But this incident did not prove how strong they were. It was just because the Jin and Liao confronted each other at that time, and most of the troops of the Liao Kingdom were resisting the eye of the Jin Kingdom.

Now the Liao Kingdom cannot make any moves to fight them, because the Jin Horde emerged, but the Jin Kingdom is still staring at it. Compared with the Xixia who is secretly causing trouble behind it, these two giants are the major concerns of the Liao Kingdom.

The Song State has been living in the rear and has been troubled by civil strife and disasters in recent years. So, it was targeted by Xixia, who was professionally picking up people.

They were really smart. They knew that although the Song Dynasty was not as strong as before, the Song Dynasty, which was good at positional warfare and defensive warfare, was definitely not a good bone to chew, so they have been privately attracting generals and officials from the Song Dynasty in private over the years.

The first one to be corrupted was the governor of Jingzhou. This governor was originally a person supported by Emperor Taizong. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he had already been appointed as the Privy Councilor. However, after Emperor Baoqing ascended the throne, he could only become the governor of a state, and there was also a military-controlled Xiangyang that was pressing him tightly.

He was dissatisfied and even more dissatisfied. It was not surprising that he was corrupted by the Li family of Xixia. Now he is waiting for the day when everything is ready.

Xiao Song knew all these things. As the boss of the highest-level secret service agency in the Song Dynasty, if you can't find out such a thing, it would be better to go home as soon as possible to concentrate on taking care of your children.

However, even though I know, the intelligence agency pays attention to a cruel and ruthless person, and judges the situation. Before the evidence that he can kill this person directly, he can hold his troops without moving. After all, until now, Xixia is still a nominal vassal state of the Song Dynasty, with a similar status to Annan, and he still has the ability to escape the actions of the governor of Jingzhou. Even Song Beiyun could not slap him to death from the law.

To be reasonable, everything must be reasonable. Some senior officials of the Imperial City Department advocated the assassination of the governor of Jingzhou or the current King of Xixia, but all proposals for assassination and kidnapping were rejected by Song Beiyun. If an intelligence agency wants to use such despicable actions to complete the task, it can be said to be a complete failure.

Because assassination will lead to a very bad start, the intelligence community has its own gameplay and rules. Since the Warring States Period, it has been no longer popular to play assassin, because this kind of thing is easy to reveal. Everyone has their own kings and their own relatives. The underground front is cruel but everyone will silently abide by some unwritten unwritten rules.

Of course, except for traitors, if one day the Liao Kingdom defected to the Song Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, the whole family died suddenly, the intelligence departments of both countries would basically fool them and pass by. As traitors, no matter who has no human rights, no matter which country they are, they should not be jealous of death.

Moreover, Xiao Song believed that it would be best to force the rebellion of Jingzhou and Xixia as soon as possible, because the Song Dynasty needed a brilliant victory to prove itself. Years of defeat have made the Song Dynasty soften, and a war can not only increase domestic demand but also boost morale.

A country and a nation all need heroes. The older generation of heroes are slowly weathering with time, but the new generation of heroes have not been created yet. This is a very bad thing. Therefore, the Song Dynasty needs a low-intensity local war to prove its combat effectiveness, make the people confident and the court have morale.

So who should we start this battle? Of course, it is Xixia. After all, it is really impossible to fight against Liao... But when fighting against Xixia, Xiao Song and Prince Fu carefully studied the combat effectiveness of Xixia. Prince Fu used three words to describe it, which is "stinky shit".

Are the Western Xia cavalry strong? In fact, they are naturally strong, but they are different from the grassland cavalry. The people on the grassland are tenacious, unyielding, and extremely strong in fighting will. They are opponents that no commander can bear to belittle them.

But the people of Xixia are different. Some people may not like to listen to it, but the soldiers of Xixia have no advantage except cruelty. Their single combat power can barely fight against the Liao cavalry, but their fighting will, training degree, organization degree and collective sense of honor are not at the same level.

If the cavalry charge between the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Horde is like a giant wolf with red eyes fighting with his life, then Xixia will be a jackal that will immediately retreat with its tail after missing a single blow, which is insidious but has no power.

As long as they defeat it once on the front battlefield, it will be difficult for them to organize a second round of charge, which is Xixia.

So Xiao Song believes that this Western Xia is a good place for Song to establish his power, so he can let it break free for a while. Then he will not say that he is unpredictable and will fight to Xingqing Prefecture in one wave and then siege the city for three days before retreating.

As for why it is not that it cannot be defeated directly, it is not that it is impossible...but it is really unnecessary for the time being. The Song Dynasty cannot afford to maintain that barren land for the time being. And once the Western Xia is captured, the Song Dynasty will face the grassland, the Heijue and Tubo, which will allow the Liao Kingdom to take advantage of its own efforts.

So the plan has been formulated long ago. Now I’m waiting for the action. They must take action first, otherwise there will be debates between the pro-war factions and the people will also complain.

So even though Xiao Song investigated them, he still looked like he didn't know anything and waited for the fish to take the bait.

As for Prince Fu's comments on Zhao Xingna, his evaluation of Xiao Song was "no conspirators in the world were beyond his control." Zhao Xing naturally agreed with such a plan.

Xiao Song, who was getting up early, yawned, and the Biluo beside him was still sleeping with his waist. Although it was late yesterday, the hateful biological clock made him open his eyes early.

"It's so fatal..." Xiao Song rubbed his face: "I'll sleep for less than four hours a day, and I'll be bald sooner or later."

At this moment, Xiaoyu appeared at the window again. He blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Song, and Xiao Song also looked at him.

"It's definitely no good for you to look for me early in the morning."

"The official asked me to notify Lord Song, you will solve it yourself today. He has no time to accompany you, so he wants to comfort the farmers."

Xiao Song turned over, rubbed Biluo's hair, and yawned again: "I understand... I don't need to come early in the morning."

"The official also said that you would arrange a better pleasure boat tonight."

Xiao Song coughed and sat up: "He wants to run out sneakily again?"

"The official said... he came here to play. If he didn't let him play, what's the difference with being in Jinling? He also said..." Xiaoyu hesitated, wondering if he should say the following words.

"What do you say? Just say it."

"The official also said that Song Beiyun is proficient in eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling. If he refuses to take me to play, I will send him to Qiongzhou as the governor."

"This dog thing!" Song Beiyun cursed: "This purebred dog emperor!"

Xiaoyu covered his ears: "Xiaoyu didn't hear anything... Lord Song, Xiaoyu said goodbye."

After the person left, Xiao Song fell dejectedly on the bed. His shouting had already awakened the Biluo beside him. After Xiaoyu left, she slowly leaned into Song Beiyun's arms and whispered: "Sir Song, don't care, Biluo will help you arrange these things."

Xiao Song sighed: "If something happens to the dog emperor, we will all be done."

Biluo gently rubbed Xiao Song's chest: "This acre of three-point land in Hangzhou, Biluo still keeps his word."

"Okay, sleep for a while, or you will die suddenly." Xiao Song lamented: "It's really troublesome..."

"Now Biluo went to prepare some food for the adults."

"Then you prepare, I'll sleep for a while."

At the same time, Zhao Xing was sitting in the garden while drinking tea while listening to the report of the Hangzhou governor. As he listened, his thoughts had already floated away from the pleasure boat. Everyone said that the girl in Hangzhou was as gentle as water, but he could only face the dry old man in front of him.

Zhao Xing felt bitter... When he thought that Song Gou could have a gentle place here, he was even more angry.

"Damn it!"

This scolding shocked the governor who reported his work opposite him, and quickly stood up and said in a respectful voice: "It's not that the official family is not bad, but that the tax revenue in Hangzhou has dropped sharply by 30% since last month..."

"30% less?" Zhao Xing finally recovered and said seriously: "Why is it less than 30% less?"

"I am still investigating this matter, as if many industries stopped overnight and stopped operating. Or sold them to others. In short, Hangzhou was really a little unbearable for a while."

"30%? Is there 30% less property in a city?" Zhao Xing frowned: "It's interesting."

I didn’t learn anything without gains from Qinglongyuan. At least Zhao Xing learned a lot from Xiao Song. For example, in this simple economics, he understood what the concept of a sharp drop of 30%. This is by no means a natural law, but someone is selling assets.
