Therefore, Zhang Kai seems to be eager for quick success. The main reason is that time does not wait for him.

Zhang Dun was anxious and anxious, and even sent his close associates to the northwest to bring a handwritten letter, asking Zhang Kai to find a way to solve the Xixia rebellion as soon as possible. Zhang Kai just said a few words, or let him have full command, and the court would only be responsible for money and food, without asking about the past;

Or let him return to the capital and become an official, so that he can stop commanding this war of annihilation that is related to the fate of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhang Kai also said that if the fight ends in the middle, they will break up as brothers.

Only then did Zhang Dun realize that his brother was also a master of cheating, and would never get up once he made a move.

The decision to substitute is easy to make, but who will be replaced?

Zhang Kai's position as commander-in-chief was not easy for Li Kui to occupy.

There are more than 30 generals in the Western Army, and everyone obeys Zhang Kai. How many of them may obey Li Kui?

Besides, Li Kui was not willing to go to Xixia.

The Xixia and Song armies have already reached the Yellow River. This is a wrestling match and a process of consuming each other. The Yellow River is not a good place for a decisive battle, but it is definitely an excellent place to consume each other.

The Dangxiang people can see the Song Army on the other side when they look up. Can they not be nervous?

After sending Brother Xiao Chang away, Zhang Dun found Li Kui and said nervously: "Renjie, who told you to form an army of 40,000 imperial guards?"

"No!"

Li Kui was sitting in the main seat of the official residence of Tianzhang Pavilion. Tianzhang Pavilion generally did not have bachelors. When Li Kui came, he became the mountain king of this place.

Zhang Dun stamped his feet and said eagerly: "You haven't told His Majesty, right?"

"No, I said Zhang Xiang, is there any difference between 20,000 and 40,000?" Li Kui felt that Zhang Dun had been a little suspicious recently, just like when Cai Jing was receiving his salary, everyone seemed to have ill intentions towards him.

Zhang Dun complained: "I don't have money. I can't even get the equipment of 20,000 imperial guards, let alone 40,000. I've told you that within a year, I'm afraid there will be a war between Song and Liao."

It may be very small, please keep it tight for me."

Li Kui chuckled and said: "Xiang Zhang, you are being dragged to death by the Western Army! But there is no guarantee that the Liao Kingdom will not start a war, right? If a war really breaks out, what will you do?"

"How about you go to the Western Army to help?" Zhang Dun asked Li Kui tentatively. He felt that if Li Kui went, Xixia might die faster, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Li Kui waved his hand and refused: "This is not a matter of who goes to destroy the country. Unless you kill all the Dangxiang people, otherwise you have to force them little by little. Let the Xixia royal family despair and let the people of Xixia despair. As long as the Dangxiang people still have their hearts.

Once you take a breath, it is definitely not over. Only in this way can we truly control this land. Otherwise, hatred will turn into seeds and grow into towering trees, and people like Li Yuanhao will come again."

"But having said that, if I go, it won't be Zhang Longtu's routine. He will suppress Dangxiang little by little, suppressing Dangxiang's courage, and draining Dangxiang's energy. But if I go, I will kill him.

If you use the rules of the grassland to kill all the men taller than a wheel, Xixia will not be able to fight. Zhang Xiang, you also know that Xianguan is a rude person who only knows how to kill. Kill him and the blood will flow into the river, and the corpses will be scattered everywhere.

I guess it can work. But I don't bear the charge of this butcher. You have to lend me your son Zhang Zhi, and let him give the order to kill."

"I heard that a large number of people from Xixia fled to our Song Dynasty, and Zhang Longtu placed them all on Yongxing Military Road. If they are really for sale, I will buy some."

"you--"

Zhang Dun pointed at Li Kui and didn't know what to say. He couldn't agree to any of Li Kui's conditions, and he didn't dare to agree to any of them.

The Song Dynasty was founded on Confucianism. If they brutally massacred party civilians, I am afraid that everyone would be upset. Even if Li Kui had the emperor's protection, he would not be able to withstand it in the end.

But if the Zhang family were to take the lead, Zhang Dun would not be able to escape the blame.

Although he didn't like his son to be an official, he didn't want his son to return to the family in disgrace and shame.

Zhang Dun didn't want to continue arguing with Li Kui on this issue, so he immediately asked: "What do you want the party members to do? These people are not willing to obey."

Li Kui sighed in admiration and said slowly: "Isn't it the last time that Xianguan asked Cai Jing to report Liaodong to the Metropolitan Affairs Hall and regard Tokyo Road of Liao Kingdom as the second overseas fiefdom of the Song Dynasty? I originally wanted to auction it and give it to the Prime Minister.

Some money came in to fill the treasury. But did you ever think that if you don’t have a single customer, you can only lower your official position and let your family buy Liaodong?”

"You're not talking nonsense. Liaodong is the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom. Who dares to think this way? No matter how strong the businessman is, he will not dare to go head-to-head with the Liao Kingdom. Whoever buys it is destined to lose money as a trousers industry."

Zhang Dun snorted coldly.

I don't understand why Li Kui is so insistent on developing Liaodong into an overseas fiefdom as large as the Song Dynasty, or is it intentional to protect himself?

But then, he threw away this idea and thought it was impossible.

Before leaving, Zhang Dun said meaningfully: "Brother Xiao Chang has become extremely obedient since you left. I estimate that it is impossible to attack and rent the city, but in order to stabilize the Liao Kingdom, the market must be opened, but the scale is larger than

In previous years it would be smaller.”
