Good stuff is on hand.

When Pan Lian'er gave wine, Zhao Kuangyin discovered a flexible path. Anyway, the Song family distributed a lot of dividends and didn't care about the little money. Therefore, he told his little wife that you would invite Pan Lian'er to the palace to talk to her and ask her for wine for me.

Empress Song was young and still had a little childlike innocence. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin like this, she also found it fun, so she invited Pan Lian'er to the palace again. Pan Lian'er was ridiculous and laughed. When she returned home, she prepared bottles, boxes and silk cloth. More than ten days later, two ox carts of wine were sent.

The ministers also heard about it.

Everyone shook their heads at Zhao Kuangyin's small move. Liu Wensou wrote four big characters indifferently, covering his ears and stealing the bell. He choked Zhao Kuangyin, but the wine was enough for him to drink for a long time.

I was happy today, so I took out some fine wine.

The eunuch raised a large box, which was the favorite thing of the government. Although it was for the ministers to drink, he did not dare to break it. The box was a handicraft, not only with exquisite patterns on it, but also with some carvings on it.

There are words on it. However, it is far away, so the minister still doesn't see clearly and doesn't understand what is being lifted up. The eunuch opened the box, exposed the silk cloth inside, and then to the bottle, a large glass bottle, which actually had colorful paintings on it.

There is no need to look at the wine, just this packaging makes you feel expensive. The eunuch opened the wine bottle and the wine bottle was packed in the picture, which was not easy to pour, and he had to pour it into the wine pot before pouring the wine. But from this packaging, it would give people a different feeling.

In fact, it is not the only distilled liquor that comes out. It has only one high degree. It not only steams many times. It has also been tested many times. The taste is far from comparable to that of the past. Some ministers occasionally went to Shun Restaurant to drink it. However, many people were discouraged and never drank it. Li Fang sighed and said, "Today I have been exposed to the glory of Your Majesty. When will this wine be drunk again?"

Many officials agree deeply.

Lu Duan laughed and said, "There is one thing that doesn't worry about the cost."

"where?"

"Song Jiu's elder sister opened a wine shop in Hezhou, and it also sells this kind of wine. I have been there several times, but the wine is a bit expensive and I can't bear to eat it."

The ministers agreed with it, but this is also a good way to satisfy their cravings. At least the dishes in the wine shop will not be sold at sky-high prices. The next day, Sister Song Jiu suddenly filled up the wine shop. Most of the people came, and some people were drinking and carrying them. But they still called it expensive, which was too expensive and did not have the exquisite packaging like the palace. Therefore, they were very resentful and were good, but Song Jiu was too unwilling to be willing to pay the qu money.

Southern Good News makes everyone feel warm. Only the powerful ministers of the Song Dynasty will have a long-term future and will not be ministers of the destruction of the country. Wine will also make this winter warmer. But it is not the warmest, and the next thing is the real good news.

Three thousand and more than sixty thousand. It is not the Southern Han Dynasty’s 60,000, but the Khitan 60,000!

...

Good news is coming, bad news is coming.

An urgent report came from the north that 60,000 Khitan troops attacked Dingzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the information. Some people said that they were planning and winning thousands of miles away. Zhao Kuangyin could barely do this. The reason for this was to analyze the other party's strategic intentions. Choosing to fight in winter is beneficial to the Khitan. Just like they attacked Hedong the year before. Some rough bows and arrows could not even be pulled away in this cold winter.

The weather was beneficial to the Khitans.

But what should the Khitans do?

He didn't believe that the Khitans dared to invade the Central Plains and had no strength! Just like the previous year, they slid to the Longmen, and quickly retreated, and went deep alone, with only one fate, death! Even if they were plundering, the front line of Hebei was desolate, and the Khitans were the same. They were siege, and the Song Dynasty also went to siege. If they wanted to harvest, they had to go south and south...

When the Song Dynasty attacked the Southern Han Dynasty, it did not use the main force. It was all there. When it reached a certain point in the south, 60,000 people would still die! Although the battle in winter was beneficial to the Khitan, it really did not affect their marching speed?

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin finally understood the mentality of the Khitans. The Khitans supported the Northern Han Dynasty and suffered two major defeats. The most serious thing was that Ma Renyu took advantage of the opportunity to go north and slid to the Yuyang area of ​​Shanggu. What was really surprised was Song Jiu. He liked to compare and read the map after hearing it. It started from the west of Changping, Beijing in later generations, and went straight to Huailai, Zhuolu, and Zhangjiakou, and went straight to the ancient Great Wall. How far is this place from Yizhou? Then countless horses, cattle, sheep and the people were captured. The cattle followed the minister's advice and distributed them to the people who supported the battle in Hedong. The horses remained, the sheep were slaughtered, and the people were content with the southern part of Hebei.

Ma Renyu passed by, and the Khitans were not strong enough and feared their reputation. No city soldiers dared to go out of the city to fight. He watched him calmly bring a large group of soldiers and a large number of cattle and sheep to the south. This time Caogu defeated the Khitans miserably. According to the scout's information, an official of the Khitans inspected and reported to the Liao Lord that the northwest of Youzhou had withered thousands of miles away and was deserted. The remaining people were plundered because of the Song army, and their livestock were plundered, and their property was robbed, and the people lived in poverty.

The Khitan was a great country. Zhao Kuangyin was very clear-headed, at least not weaker than the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he agreed with Zhao Pu's opinion that the south and then north will be unified, and the power will be stronger, so that the Khitan would be erased slowly. He was slapped in the face and knew that he would take revenge. The new Khitan ruler succeeded to the throne and wanted to gain power. He sent fewer troops and was afraid of danger, so he came to give snacks. The troops sent were not worth much. That was why he sent 60,000 troops. This was a smash.

This mentality is destined to go back if they want to get a little cheaper and be able to explain it to the country. But this mentality is also destined to be unhealthy.

After touching their mentality, Zhao Kuangyin called Tian Qinzuo to instruct and said, "I am a small one. You just need to carry the city and wait for the enemy to fight and do not chase after you."

Then three thousand cavalrymen were transferred to him.

If there are soldiers in the north, most of them are infantry. If the field battles are not effective, the Khitan will inevitably harm the people. With these three thousand cavalry restrained, the Khitans would not dare to go south. Unless it is not 60,000, but 160,000!

Tian Qinzuo quickly headed north with three thousand cavalrymen.

The Khitan had just crossed the border, and the number of troops was too high, so the movement would be slower, but it also proved that the Song Dynasty attached great importance to intelligence. The scout sent the news to the capital, Tian Qinzuo brought three thousand cavalry to the border, and the Khitans arrived.

Tian Qinzuo met the Khitans in Mancheng, and then began to listen to Zhao Kuangyin's words, leaning against the Mancheng Village, and fighting with the Khitans. This was the most powerful Song army. Although the troops were small, they were very strong. The Khitans were not the main force, but one of them, and of course there must be much more troops than the Song army. When the two armies were in battle, the Khitans fought for a while and saw that this Song army was not easy to chew, so they retreated to Suicheng to the east and met with the main army.

At this time, Tian Qinzuo was red in his eyes, threw Zhao Kuangyin's words behind him, and followed him to chase him.

He chased Suicheng and started a war with the 60,000 main force of the Khitan. This battle was even more tragic. Even Tian Qinzuo's horse was shot down. His subordinate Wang Chao shouted: "General Tian, ​​ride my horse."

While fighting, the three thousand Song troops were trapped in the ocean of 60,000 Khitan cavalry, and they needed the bravery of the commander to raise morale. Tian Qinzuo was not polite, and rode Wang Chao's horse and continued to fight. From Dan to Zhong, that is, from morning to evening.

When the frontal field battle starts, it usually doesn't take long, and even a large battle of hundreds of thousands of people often determines victory or defeat in two hours, such as the Battle of Feishui. If you can fight for three or four hours, it will be a fierce battle. Besides, it's a whole day.

In the evening, both sides were out of strength for fighting. The Khitans watched him and his subordinates calmly enter Suicheng with their eyes open. It was unlikely to kill countless Khitans on that day because they were not completely defeated. If so, it was not Tian Qinzuo, but Li Jing. It is impossible to count how many Khitans killed, and only know that the bodies of countless Khitans fell outside Suicheng. The Khitans were so angry that they surrounded Suicheng.

They came to fight for the field, not to attack the city, and they had no siege equipment, so they could only be besieged.

Tian Qinzuo entered Suicheng, but there were few grains in the city, and there were no three thousand subordinates at this time. However, people wanted to eat horses and eat them. After eating the food and grass, it meant that everyone was waiting for death together. So they decided to evacuate. At least the Song army guarding the city had enough food and grass to support until spring. So after only a few days of surround, Tian Qinzuo opened the south gate and rushed towards the Khitans. The Khitans shouted loudly, came out again, and came out again. They quickly mobilized the army to siege. There was no time for the Khitan soldiers in the south city to be frustrated. Tian Qinzuo did not love the battle this time, so he quickly broke through the gap and retreated to Baosai City in the east. It is said that there was no chance of a single arrow in the army. This doesn't matter, it's all field battles, the Khitans only besieged the city but did not attack the city, so they did not need bows and arrows.

The victory or defeat is not important to both countries. Even if Tian Qinzuo killed thousands of Khitan soldiers, the Khitan would not destroy the country. But there is an important meaning, that is, if the Song Dynasty cavalry commanded properly on the front battlefield, it would not be worse than the Khitans, or even stronger!

I don’t know what the Khitans thought, but if they continue like this, they will have to pay a price of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, not paying it, or they have too many troops, not much capture, insufficient logistics, and cold weather. Seeing Tian Qinzuo retreating to Baosai City safely, they withdrew their troops back.

This war has no conspiracy and a real collision.

Therefore, the people in Hebei are circulating wildly, saying that 3,000 yuan will be used to make 60,000 yuan.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and said to his left and right: "The Khitan invaded several times. I bought a Khitan head with twenty pieces of silk. The elite soldiers were only 100,000, and only 2 million pieces of silk were spent on me, so the Khitan would be all."

This was a casual sentence he said after the great joy, and he did not expect that later generations would repeatedly misinterpret this sentence. Just like his edict, which reduced employees and increased salary, used to prevent corruption, evolved into high salaries to support integrity, or another explanation to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chinese history changed in Guo Wei's hands, Chai Rong's hands changed again, Zhao Kuangyin's hands changed again, Zhao Kuangyi's hands changed again, so the good and bad things came together. Song Jiu looked at Chai Rong very high in his heart, but people were also changing. Just like if Li Longji died at the end of Kaiyuan, how would history books evaluate it? If Chai Rong was not dead, what would it be later?

This was almost the most prosperous year for the Song Dynasty’s military!

This year's winter is very warm...

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed that the southern army had made contributions and enjoyed wine, so he bought another 30,000 kilograms of fine wine and gave it to Tian Qinzuo. He did a good job and I had a reward. The yamen were shouting again.
