Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The Liao Kingdom has withdrawn its troops!"

The Liao Kingdom has received an order worth millions of dollars, and has lost its fighter planes, so it can only withdraw its troops now. After all, all 200,000 troops are concentrated in Nanjing, the Liao Kingdom, which is a heavy burden for the economically fragile Liao Kingdom.

"Da Song wins!"

The news of Liao's retreat spread throughout the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.

Although when Xixia was defeated, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the Liao Kingdom retreated. However, when the news came back, the entire Song Dynasty still cheered.

"This is a great victory unprecedented in the Song Dynasty in a century!"

An old man cried bitterly.

He has gone through several generations and personally experienced the tragedy of the Song Dynasty being repeatedly bullied by other countries. Now, facing the attack from the Liao and Xia countries, the Song Dynasty not only retreated, but also defeated Xixia and recovered the farmland east of Hengshan. This is simply unprecedented. great victory.

"With the rise of the Song Dynasty, it has become a country of old people and a country of young people!"

Da Song, a young boy from Kaifeng who respected Fan Zheng the most, couldn't help but sigh.

The people of Kaifeng nodded slightly. Under the leadership of Empress Dowager Gao, the Song Dynasty was like a country of old people and was oppressed. Now, under the leadership of the young emperor Zhao Xu, the Song Dynasty has finally become a country of young people, full of vitality.

"Although the Liao Kingdom retreated this time, the Song Dynasty paid a price of one million guan? Isn't this also a yearly coin? How is it different from when Empress Dowager Gao was in power?" A scholar in Tsing Yi questioned.

A merchant snorted coldly: "One million guan is an order transaction, but it is not a yearly coin. The Liao Kingdom needs to pay for the goods and the Song Dynasty pays, which is naturally different from a yearly coin."

"What's the difference? I, the Song Dynasty, have a vast land and abundant resources. How can I need goods from the Liao Kingdom? Or should I pay the Liao Kingdom in disguise?" The scholar in Tsing Yi snorted coldly.

In the past, the annual coin was only 500,000 guan. Although the Song Dynasty abolished the two-year annual coin, the Liao Kingdom benefited a lot from the Silk Road. Now the court paid millions of guan at once, and the Liao Kingdom gained far more money. It was better than before, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many scholars.

The merchant shook his head and said: "The vastness of the land and abundant resources does not mean that there is no need for goods. The furs, meat, horses, ginseng, antler and rare treasures from the Western Regions in the north are all rare goods in the Song Dynasty, and we, the Song Dynasty, opened up the Maritime Silk Road. The road is the center of the world. Not only can these goods be bought and sold in the Song Dynasty, but they can also be transported to overseas countries. In this way, even though the Song Dynasty spent millions of dollars to purchase goods from the Liao Kingdom and then transport them out, they can still make a lot of money. One stroke.”

"Is there such a thing?" Everyone asked incredulously.

The merchant shook his head and said: "Why is this so? The Liao Kingdom has received millions of coins. To take the overland Silk Road, you still need to buy goods from the Song Dynasty. Especially the rare treasures shipped back from the South China Sea are in high demand. It is said that Yelu Nanyin Before the two countries ceased war, the princess had already made a deal of 100,000 guan with Tong Guan on the Bohai Sea."

Only then did everyone believe it, and they no longer pointed at the court's million-dollar order. Instead, they began to look forward to how much money Tong Guan had made when he returned from his voyage to Southeast Asia, and how many rare treasures he had brought back.

"The Liao Kingdom has withdrawn its troops!"

In the court room,

When the good news of Liao's retreat came, all the officials in the court could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations to the official family! God has a great Song Dynasty!"

All the officials congratulated each other.

Since Liao Xia sent troops, the entire Song Dynasty has been shrouded in gloomy clouds, and now the clouds have finally been lifted to reveal the sun.

"Did the Liao Kingdom ever release Tong Guan?" Zhao Xu asked.

Su Song replied: "It is reported to the officials that even if the two countries are at war, the envoys will be killed. The Liao Kingdom has not made things difficult for Eunuch Tong. Now Tong Guan is trading with Princess Yelu at the mouth of Haihe River, trying to earn back part of the imperial court's order of one million guan." .”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. He did not expect that Fan Zheng's unintentional move made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. If a thousand fleets had not docked in the Bohai Bay, threatening the rear of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would not have been able to delay it. The news of the great defeat of Xixia came.

If the Liao Kingdom directly sends troops and the Song and Liao wars begin, life will definitely be devastated. Even if the Song Dynasty repels the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty will be severely damaged and suffer heavy losses if this battle takes place within the Song Dynasty.

Now that the Xia army was defeated in Xixia territory and the Liao army retreated, it was the best situation for the Song Dynasty. Among them, Fan Zheng made the greatest contribution.

Whether it was the astonishingly powerful new sky-shaking thunder, the five-way integration strategy, or the thousands of fleets threatening the Liao Kingdom, they were all the strategies of Fan Zheng.

"Reporting to the officials, the Liao Kingdom put forward two conditions when it retreated. One is that the maritime fleet returns to Dengzhou and is not allowed to approach the Liao Kingdom's waters in the future. The second is that the Song Army returns the Baotai Military Division and Jingsai Military Division that occupied Xixia. Please let the officials decide." Lu Dafang said respectfully.

Zhao Xu sneered and said: "There is no problem with the maritime fleet retreating. In the future, the Liao Kingdom will no longer attack the Song Dynasty, and the navy of the Song Dynasty will naturally not go northward. However, Xixia is a traitor to the Song Dynasty and took back the Baotai Military Division and the Jingsai Military Division. This is the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom has no right to interfere."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the officials praised.

The maritime fleet has been staying in the Bohai Bay for nearly a month. It is about to reach the typhoon season, and it has long been necessary to return to port. Not to mention, there are still money worth tens of millions of dollars on the thousand-ship fleet, which naturally has to be returned for sale.

However, according to the peace treaty of the Three Kingdoms between Song, Liao and Xia, Xixia professed vassalage to the Song Dynasty, which was an internal affair of the Song Dynasty. In addition, the Song Dynasty finally took back the Baotai Army Division and the Jingsai Army Division, which were all cultivated land in Xixia. If Xixia is further weakened, the Song Dynasty will naturally not let go.

"Not only that, I believe that the Song Dynasty still needs to counterattack the Liao and Xia. The Liao and Xia jointly sent troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, which made people in the Song Dynasty panic. This time, the Song Dynasty was lucky enough to pass. Will we be so lucky in the future?" Fan He said solemnly.

All the officials in the court couldn't help but nodded slightly. The Song Dynasty was able to defeat the Liao-Xia coalition this time. On the one hand, the new thunderbolt showed its power, and on the other hand, the sea fleet surprised the Liao Kingdom.

Given time, Liao and Xia could find a way to restrain themselves, but the Song Dynasty would not be so lucky next time.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Do you mean to continue to counterattack Liaoxia?"

Other officials were also excited. The Song Dynasty now had the advantage of Tiefu Tu and Zhentian Lei, and had just defeated the Liao-Xia coalition. It was the time when the military was at its peak. If they could take this opportunity, they could send troops to annihilate Xixia or regain Yan. Cloud Sixteen States may not be an opportunity.

"Absolutely not. The Song Dynasty has finally achieved peace, so how can we start a war again?" Lu Dafang said in shock.

He was afraid that Zhao Xu was young and energetic, and under the instigation of Fan Zhengyi, he would take revenge on Liao Xia at all costs, which would destroy the great situation of the Song Dynasty.

"Our army has just experienced a great war and has consumed countless weapons, food and fodder. If we start the war again, we may make the same mistake as Emperor Taizong did." Yang Wei also advised.

At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty had just wiped out the Northern Han Dynasty, but the exhausted troops of the Song Dynasty sent their troops northward to recapture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in one fell swoop. However, they suffered a disastrous defeat. Fortunately, the donkey cart drifted and they escaped.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Sending troops now is naturally a bad idea, but not sending troops does not mean that we, Liao and Xia, are helpless."

"Does Fan Taicheng have any good prescription?" Zhao Xu asked with heartbeat.

He was also young and energetic, so he was naturally very angry with Liao Xia for bullying the Song Dynasty for no reason. If given the chance, he would naturally want to fight back.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Xixia was defeated in this battle. Not only did the 300,000 troops suffer heavy losses, but even the Jingsai Army and Baotai Army fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty. Xixia lost the southern farming area. There will be great dissatisfaction in the country, and the prestige of Empress Dowager Xiao Liang will be greatly affected. This is the best opportunity for Liang to succeed Xia, and I believe Liang Yibu will not let go of this golden opportunity."
