Chapter 458: Eight questions about Xiaozhong’s strategy

"Does Liu Zhongwu have a secret agreement with you?" Mr. Zhong asked.

Zhao Xing replied frankly: "Yes, he was in the General Staff Headquarters to consult with him on the plan to deal with Tubo. I had an agreement with him..."

Master Zhong seemed not to want to listen to the specific agreement, so he immediately jumped and asked, "What is the reason for the war?"

Master Zhong did not say who the target of the war was, but Zhao Xing knew what the other party was asking. He replied with a faint smile: "Although Xixia has negotiated peace with us, it has been harassed on a small scale every year. This is the reason. If you want to solve the suffering of the people of Shaanxi once and for all, you must completely eliminate them. What's the reason? Our Song Kingdom and Xixia have been in stalemate for a hundred years. In the past hundred years, Xixia has wronged our emperor Song for more than a hundred times. So what if we wronged them once?

To describe small-scale harassment as a large-scale invasion, and to describe the absence of harassment as an invasion, who do you think the court will believe in?"

Zhong Shizhong nodded: "It has been a hundred years since Xixia went out to fight back. If several roads on the border jointly say that Xixia invaded, I am afraid that even if the people of Xixia try their best to defend themselves, the court would not believe it... Where are the crossing boats built?"

"The Fuyan can only be on the Fuyan Road. Our warships entering Hetao, Suide, or the Volcanic Army will inevitably arouse the alertness of the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms. The Yellow River crosses the Fuyan Road and is built on the Fuyan Road. If you release boats and go straight to the Wuding River, you can attack the Xiangyou Army and the Shenyong Army. Even if you do not pass through the Yellow River, establishing such a naval army on the Fuyan Road will also be beneficial to local defense."

Zhuang Shizhong took a deep breath: "How long does it take to raise all the wood required for shipbuilding?"

Zhao Xing sighed easily: "The local forests in Shaanxi have been cut down. Not long ago, Emperor Daojun built the Yanfu Palace and mobilized a batch of wood from the local area. Therefore, the wood for shipbuilding must be transported from other places. What we want to build is not one or two ships, but thousands of ships. The required wood is not firewood sticks. Therefore, even if the wood is sent to Luoshui along the Liudongshui River, it will take about a year to prepare the wood for shipbuilding in Shaanxi."

Mr. Zhong took a sip of air conditioning and asked again: "How long will it take to build a full attacking ship?"

Zhao Xing laughed: "It depends on what ship we built. Generally, wood is transported by water. This soaked and wet wood takes three years to dry out before it can be used for shipbuilding. But if we want to build a single-use ship, then it will take one year to use the wood from that year to build a thousand warships?"

Mr. Zhong raised his face to the sky and thought for a long time. The two of them had no brains when they talked, and widened their eyes to the side. Although she understood every word the other person said. However, when these words were connected, she could not understand the meaning of the whole sentence. She could only turn her black eyes and look at this and that.

Mr. Zhong thought for a long time and asked again: "How can I deal with the Privy Council?"

Zhao Xing stomped the floor: "The landlords here are responsible!"

Zhong Shizhong nodded. Liu Kui was recommended by Han Zhongyan. Since Hou Meng arranged this meeting, he naturally could not stay out of it. He had good transportation with Liu Kui in advance and cooperated with both parties in the early stage. As long as the plan was right, Liu Kui would tolerate it.

Mr. Zhong asked again: "Where is the chance to win when we fight with Xixia?"

Zhao Xing seemed to have been prepared, so he raised a finger and said: "The distribution and garrisoning tasks of the twelve military supervisors in the left and right sides of the Western Xia dynasty are: "From Hebei to Wula Mountain (east of Wulate Banner, Inner Mongolia) to prepare for the Khitan; Hongzhou, Henan (southwest of Jingbian, Shaanxi), Baibao, Anyanzhou, Luoluo, Tiandu, Weijingshan (now southwest of Zhongwei, Ningxia) to prepare for the Huanqing, Zhenrong (now Guyuan, Ningxia), Yuanzhou (now Zhenyuan, Gansu); 50,000 people on the left side of Youzhou Road. For the preparation for Fuyan, Linzhou (now north of Shenmu), Fuzhou (now Fugu); 30,000 people on the right side of Ganzhou Road, to prepare for the Xifan and Uighurs; Helan (now northwest of Yinchuan, Ningxia) to station 50,000 troops, Lingzhou (now southwest of Lingwu), and Xingqing Prefecture (now north of Yinchuan), totaling more than 500,000.

The troops seemed huge, but the Xia people were just as stupid. They didn't know that their reality had been leaked from some clues - I'll show you a document, which is the household registration book that our merchants got from Xixia."

Zhong Shizhong was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "What problem can the household registration book explain?"

Zhao Xing asked again: "You have asked seven questions. Was it your last question just now?"

Mr. Zhong shook his head: "That question just now is just a further verification of your seventh question. You have not finished answering my seventh question."

Zhao Xing laughed silently. Answer: "I didn't bring the things, but you can check them back. The Xixia people do not keep the household registration book confidential, so you can also find the data I mentioned on Fuyan Road - the focus of Xixia is in Hexi, with a population of nearly 800,000. In order to strengthen Hexi's defense, the large-scale immigration during the Hongwu period of (Xixia) caused a large number of local troops and their families to settle down in Hexi'an.

The Xixia implemented a system of military service for all people. The number of people in one person is one account. The number of men is 15 years old. If there are households as units, one person will be the chief army; each army is assigned two ranks to engage in logistics support. Then, based on the population of the Xixia, its total strength in Hexi is no more than 110,000, and the total strength of the 11th Guard Banner Army (regular army) and the Xiatun Banner Army, plus the female rank (female soldiers) and other ranks, that is, 200,000 strong men.

Haha, the population base of Xixia is there. According to its population base, what they call the capturing army of 100,000, strong crossbows, 100,000 iron kites, 200,000 bubazi, and sign troops, and 300,000 soldiers were borne by the people - all of them are bullshit. Four-determined one soldier is close to the whole people. In addition to the elderly who can't walk at home, children from underage, and women who are pregnant and childbirth, four people support one soldier, which is already the bottom line of the population of Xixia, so we have to deal with only 200,000 troops. It is even possible that there are only 110,000 troops, which is the capital of the victory place."

Zhong Shizhong was shocked: "Twenty-hundreds of thousands are still distributed in twelve military departments, and our Shaanxi has 180,000 troops. If we attack together, how can we not win - when will we start?"

Zhao Xing asked back: "Is this your last question? But I think this question should be answered by you."

Mr. Zhong thought for a moment, then suddenly took off his hat and threw it on the ground, shouting: "A hundred years of great hatred should be destroyed."

Zhao Xing raised his glass and invited him: "Come on, this plan is called 'vertical strike', and the secret code is 'Chaolu'...Dining Sheng!"

Mr. Zhong generously raised the wine jar, raised his head and put it in the mouth of the jar, and drank it. The jar mouth was big and small, and the wine was dripping all over his body. Mr. Zhong did not care at all. While drinking, he shouted in vain: "A hundred years of great hatred will be destroyed in one day, so happy! Happy!"

The meeting did not appear in any notes, and in the Zhongsong area, all the officials involved were very secretive about it, but afterwards, people in history followed the clues and found that some seemingly inconsistent things had happened this year, and afterwards, these things perfectly formed the grand strategy to destroy Xixia.

In February, a Tatar girl boarded a boat from Dengzhou and headed for Hangzhou. When she walked for the front, a maritime merchant carried a huge amount of wood into the Dengzhou wharf. These giant trees were unimaginably huge. The thickness reached two meters in diameter and about twenty meters long. According to the maritime merchants transporting giant trees, these giant trees were cut from the extreme north. The growing land of these woods was northerly than that of Japan, where adults were frozen. Countless huge timbers grew. It was the land that Zhao Xing discovered when he visited Japan, and the war land Song merchants saw that the land was cheap and bought it at a low price. It took half a year to cut down the wood. It was difficult to transport it to Dengzhou.

Unfortunately, the treatment of these woods was not good. Local merchants in Dengzhou mocked the timber merchant for being stupid and said: Emperor Daojun had stopped the construction of palace buildings, so no one had purchased such huge wood. The merchant spent money in vain and probably would have to pay for it and jumped to the sea.

As the local merchants in Dengzhou expected, the wood merchants continuously transported countless giant trees. The wood piled up outside Dengzhou Port, almost blocking all the waterways in Dengzhou Port, but few people bought the wood.

In the same month, Qin Fenglu reported the news of Tubo's peace. For the purpose of saving military expenditure, the court prepared to agree to the peace of Tubo. At the request of Emperor Huizong of Song, the court recalled Tong Guan and Gao Qiu from the army. Gao Qiu and Tong Guancai left Shaanxi. The Shaanxi side was in a row of emergency, reporting the news of a large-scale invasion of Xixia. It is said that the military governor of the Fuyan Road was ill and the counterattack was commanded, and the war was very hard.

The court hesitated for a moment, and was originally planning to let Tong Guan and Gao Qiu return to Shaanxi to supervise the counterattack in Shaanxi on the spot, but the Emperor of the Dao Army refused to give in and insisted on recalling two confidants. The Privy Council had no choice but to compromise. While issuing an edict to order Qin Fenglu to truce against Tubo, he agreed to Qin Fenglu's request to allow the Tatars to gain a foothold in Qingtang; while ordering Fuyan Road, Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road to carry out a limited counterattack.

At the same time, in the capital, the envoy of Xixia shouted "Sky-stricken". He firmly refused to admit the news of Xixia's invasion, believing that last year, Xixia was not able to launch such a large-scale invasion in the beginning of spring. However, after he said this, the Privy Council believed it, and the Privy Council believed in the report from Shaanxi.

"The Party is for others..." Liu Kui made a remark in the ruling hall: "The Dangxiang people have always been my granary shipment for the Song Dynasty. Whenever they encounter disasters, they will invade and plunder to overcome difficulties. The envoy of the Xia Kingdom said that they had a snow disaster last year. So, if he doesn't come to Shaanxi to plunder this year, who can believe it if he says it?"

Huang Tingjian nodded, and Zhang Shangying agreed: "In this way, order all walks of life in Shaanxi to fight back."

At this moment, another envoy came to report that the Western Xia invasion occurred on Qinfeng Road, which had just ended the Tubo War. At this point, the court had completely distrustled the remarks of the Western Xia envoys. Subsequently, the court launched a war mechanism and began to allocate military supplies to Shaanxi.

Shaanxi is in full swing, and Dengzhou is finally buying wood. A Shaanxi businessman bought a small amount of wood and planned to transport it to the capital by water. Some people may laugh at it: Such huge wood will be transported to the capital, and I am afraid that the wood will be priced as gold.

Unexpectedly, when the merchants in Shaanxi who bought the wood heard this, they became stubborn. They claimed that they were going to transport the wood back to their hometown and build a majestic house so that future generations can live in. As they said, the merchants in Shaanxi began to contact ships and prepared to drag the wood into Liudongshui River and transport it from the Yellow River to Bianliang.

These giant trees advanced hard along the Yellow River. At the same time, Shaanxi was in a hurry, and the war situation seemed to be getting worse and stronger. During this period, there was a peaceful atmosphere in Xixia. From time to time, wooden boats floating from Dongshengzhou, Liao Kingdom wandering on the river. One of the scholars was the most obvious. He was drifting on the river in a small boat, making a kettle-like attitude of a fisherman. He did not use a fishing rod to fish, but used a huge metal hook to connect the thick earth rope. There was no bait hanging on the hook, but only repeated one action: throw the hook into the river, and then lifted the golden hook without getting anything.

The Xixia herder along the river mocked the angler, but the angler said with striking remarks: "How can you know what I am fishing? The one who puts bait is fishing, but I want to catch Kun."

After this was heard, the King of Xixia was shocked and thought it was a humiliation of Lu Gongwang and Jiang Taigong. He quickly sent court officials to find the Kunke fisherman, but the Kunke fisherman was missing. However, when he heard the King of Xia's search for the Kunke fisherman, countless people imitating the Kunke fisherman's behavior appeared on the fishing boats along the river. They held huge metal hooks and kept throwing them into the river, doing fishing work in vain. The King of Xixia was furious and returned empty-handed.

At the same time, the real Kun fisherman was sitting in the Nanyang Yamen, narrating the result of his "Kun fishing": "After measuring, the depth of the water along the river can be passed through the boats we designed, but along the river, the water along the Shunhua Crossing is shallow, and the deepest part of the river in the middle of the river is only more than six feet. I went there in spring, and the river water is very wide, but the depth is not enough."

Zhao Xing asked: "Whether other Kun fishing personnel gathered detailed hydrological data... In this way, Hue Du is a hurdle. The success or failure of the war depends on whether we can break through Hue Du."

Yuan Yeping, the opposite side, said distressedly: "You can't sail on land."

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Land boating, I know there is a kind of land boating, which is a man-made land boat from the Netherlands, shaped like our loach boat. However, its oar pack has a shell, which is a wheel when it reaches land, and can be walked on land briefly like a carriage and horse... We need to send a support staff to Hue Dutch to help us build a solid road surface that detours the depths of the water from the Hue Dutch River."

Yuan Yeping had not answered yet, and Lu Qiuguan interrupted with a smile: "If you let Fuyan Road go, they can't just take advantage of it without helping them-there are soldiers of the Dangxiang tribe on Fuyan Road, and impersonated merchants can enter Xixia from the Qingtang area."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Prepare a batch of Dashi goods and arrange an identity for this person. He said that he returned from Dashi business and asked him to buy local sheriffs in Huedu. He stored some materials for us and built a hard road leading to the riverside."

At the same time, the merchants who bought wood in Shaanxi struggled to reach Hedong, and the sales of timber merchants in Dengzhou gradually improved. After seeing the wood transported by Shaanxi merchants, the Nestorian high priest from Hedong came forward and planned to buy a batch of wood to build a church. After that, Shaanxi seemed to have a craze for building houses, and thousands of Shaanxi merchants bought wood anonymously. Suddenly, the timber merchants in Dengzhou accumulated wood outside the port and sold out. The overjoyed timber merchants immediately went to sea and planned to go back to continue cutting the wood and transport it back to the country... Since then, the businessman's business seemed to be getting more and more prosperous.

As summer approaches, Shaanxi is in full swing, and the fourth route of Shaanxi continues to win the court, and at the same time, it also reports that the Xia people are constantly harassing them on a small scale.

In autumn, Shaanxi merchants finally transported the timber to Fuyan Road. When the Fuyan Road military saw this batch of timber, they immediately seized it. Then the Zhongshizhong, who recovered from his illness, submitted a plan to the court to build a naval army to attack the Xixia Xiangyou Army through the Wuding River. Liu Kui tried his best to instigate the court to pass this plan and follow the example. The rest of Shaanxi also purchased wood, intending to build a naval army in the river channel to which they belong to so as to assist the attack through waterways. Because the roads leading to the mainland of Shaanxi were not smooth, the wood purchased by the military in various places accumulated in Yanshui Town, making Yanshui Town a giant timber farm.

In the autumn of that year, the fourth route of Shaanxi reported the invasion of Xixia again. The Liao Kingdom sent envoys to mediate the Song and Xia war. Tong Guan, who returned to the court, asked to go to the Liao Kingdom to go to the Liao Kingdom in order to reject the Liao Kingdom's mediation request. At this point, the history of the Liaodong Kingdom in the Song and Dongfang also accelerated the evolution process. Tong Guan's mission subsequently led to the maritime alliance between the Song and Jin sides.

At the end of the autumn of that year, Yanshui Town began to build ships in large quantities. They used wet wood and built large flat-bottomed ships, but two small cannons were installed on the bow and stern of the ship. For this reason, the court came forward to coordinate and dispatched some shipbuilding materials and shipbuilding craftsmen from the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, as well as some artillery officers to Shaanxi. In order to escort this batch of important military supplies, the Zhuque Army began to move to Shaanxi.

In winter, Shaanxi proposed a strategy of attacking Xia in the five-way attacking Xia. These five-way attacking Xia were attacking from the four-way attacking, and the side attack from Qing Tang. After discussing this plan, the Privy Council believed that Qing Tang had recently surrendered. The situation was not stable and it was not convenient to take time out of the military. Under the compromise, the court agreed to Shaanxi's potential attack strategy set by Zhang Zhi and launched a limited counterattack against Xixia.

However, the court spent too much time on discussion. Before Shaanxi could take action, the Xixia side harassed again. Shaanxi reported the drought in Xixia last year. They had routinely harassed again in the spring of the second year. The four routes in Shaanxi were too poor to deal with it and had no time to implement the five routes' strategy of attacking Xia. This made court officials deeply blame themselves.

In the autumn of this year, Shaanxi adjusted their plan again. The other route of the new fifth route attacked Xia would use the newly established naval army to go down the Wuding River and attack the Xiangyou Army. The Privy Council responded quickly this time and immediately approved the plan. However, unexpectedly, the plan had just been issued, and Shaanxi Fourth Route came to report that Xixia had launched autumn harassment.

The two consecutive years of harassment made Shaanxi extremely angry. The four-way military envoys sent envoys to ask the court to make major moves to counter the invasion of the Western Xia. At this time, Tong Guan, who was on the Liao Kingdom, had not returned to the court. The four-way military envoys gathered in the capital for a long time to discuss. Although they were full of confidence in the plan to attack Xia, they were not confident in commanding the navy, so they unanimously asked the court to dispatch generals from the Nanyang or Beiyang Yamen to command the water battle.

The court was still hesitating, so they first questioned the Beiyang Yamen. The Beiyang Yamen refused to have their own naval army just established and could not draw out the corresponding personnel. However, the Nanyang Yamen built six new fleets in the past two years, and there were a lot of talents. Perhaps it was appropriate for the Nanyang Yamen to produce talents.

The court hesitated for a long time, and at the urging of the military envoys from the Four Routes, he sent a letter to inquire about the situation of the Nanyang Yamen. This delay entered the twelfth lunar month of that year. At the beginning of spring, the Nanyang Yamen responded, with only one sentence: "The Grand Master came to Fuyan Road in person!"

Now the court was caught off guard, and Zhang Shangying asked anxiously: "Why didn't the Grand Master come to the capital to report? Instead, he went directly to Fuyan?"

The officer of the Nanyang Yamen answered sternly: "Military information is urgent. It is spring, and it is probably time for Xixia to harass again. Since the imperial court saw the imperial edict, the Grand Tutor naturally had to go to Fuyan to inspect it in person. It was just a major military and national affairs and must not be disclosed. The court asked the court not to publicize the news that the Grand Tutor arrived in Fuyan for the time being."

Zhang Shangying was stunned for a long time and stomped his feet and said, "Two years ago, Huang Lu said that Zhao Liren was going to attack Xixia, and it turned out to be here."

On February 15th of the year of Bingxu, Zhao Xing arrived in Yanshui Town on the day when the Jinshi was released. At this moment, if officials from the Song Dynasty Privy Council were present, they would find that the Shaanxi four routes of the Strategic Envoys who did not meet the court system appeared in Yanshui Town, and the ones they sent to the capital were only four envoys.

That year, the 671st Jinshi was ranked 10th in the Bingxu Certificate. Since Cai Xie was the top scholar in that year, he was called "Cai Xie Bang". Among them, Cai Xie, the top scholar, was named Wenrao, a native of Kaifeng Prefecture, and was named the first Jinshi, and was named Zhengzi of the Secretariat. Ke Yi, a native of Min County, Fuzhou, was named the second Jinshi. He was appointed as the official magistrate of De'an Prefecture. Pan Jianzhong of Tanhua, was from Jian'an County, Jianzhou, and was not appointed as the official.

Yanshui Town has implemented military control. The ones entering Yanshui Town were several vans escorted by the Xuanwu Army. The vans stopped and the first thing they did was the Tatar girl Chaolu. Without waiting for anyone to help, she jumped out of the car door quickly and turned around and stomped in the car and blamed: "What are you doing? You don't even let the curtains be opened along the way, so I'm suffocating."

After Chaolu complained, several black servants trotted to the car and lifted the curtain. Zhao Xing poked his head out of the car. The Shaanxi 4th Road Strait Commander and the Shaanxi general present saw Zhao Xing appear and bent down together. The big gift was given: "Welcome to the Grand Marshal!"

Zhao Xing's official position was the Grand Tutor, and was promoted by the Nanyang Yamen, but military generals liked to call him "Taiwei". Compared with Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, military generals who had close ties with Zhao Xing all felt that Zhao Xing was the first Grand Tutor. Their claim was sincere. Zhao Xing accepted their gift calmly. He jumped out of the carriage and asked, "How is the situation?"

Qin Fenglu's strategy envoy Liu Zhongwu stepped forward and bowed and crossed his hands: "Everything is ready, I'll just wait for the Grand Marshal."

Zhao Xing nodded, and he took out a document from his body, then took off the two seals hanging from his waist and handed them to Liu Zhongwu: "This is my receipt of the local Privy Council's edict, requiring me to make a memorial to the war in Shaanxi... Although this memorial did not directly order me to command the Shaanxi army, adding these two seals should be enough - this is the Pingzhang Army and the State Seal, plus the seal of the Deputy Privy Council's Privy Council's Deputy Privy Council's envoy."

According to Zhao Xing's private secret agreement with the Shaanxi ranks, he did not need to present the seal solemnly, but this war will be recorded in history, so the procedures must be legal and impeccable.

Zhong Shizhong stepped forward and went forward with Qin Fenglu Commander Liu Zhongwu, Jingyuan Road Commander Zhang Bo, Huanqing Road Commander Chu Mingda pretended to check Zhao Xing's seal, and then nodded with satisfaction. They respectfully exchanged the imperial edicts and Zhao Xing's seal, and then bowed and saluted again: "Please respectfully ask the Taiwei to advance to the tent!"

This group of people forgot that the four major strategic envoys gathered here, and the Yongxing Army Road Transport Author, Jingzhao Lie, and Qinfeng Army Road Transport Author were not on the scene. In other words, these people completely skipped their immediate superiors under the command of Zhao Xingdi.

However, before the upcoming Battle of Destruction, the people present were in a state of great excitement and did not care about the flaws in the procedural.

The people of Shaanxi have been waiting for this day for a hundred years. As Shaanxi officials, these strategic enablers can feel the anger of Shaanxi. Strictly speaking, in the Hundred Years' War, almost every family has fallen people, and their relatives have been plundered and destroyed by Xixia as slaves. This glass of bitter wine has been drunk in Shaanxi for a hundred years, but today, they have seen the Chaoyang, which ends the nightmare.

Chaolu was still complaining when he jumped off the carriage. But he turned around and found the welcome scene, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and could not say a word.

In the spring breeze of February, the entire schoolyard was crowded with people. The black local teams were the Zhuque Army that arrived early. In addition, there were direct guards and trusted officers brought by Shaanxi Fourth Route. Not to mention the soldiers, the officers were wearing neat military uniforms, and their bright red floors were filled with beating flames. At this time, everyone lowered their heads and saluted respectfully to the person beside the carriage. They held their breath and waited for the man to speak.

Zhao Xing stood beside the carriage and asked softly: "How is the situation in Xixia?"

The four masters looked at each other, and under the guidance of everyone's eyes, Zhong Shizhong took a step forward and replied loudly: "Two years of exhaustion, we bluffed within two years, and Xixia was harassed by us, and every spring and autumn. They had to mobilize a large number of soldiers to guard against our raids. As a result, in the farmland and the pasture, there were only elderly people and children who could not take swords and guns. Two years have passed, Xixia has lost grain every year, and a large number of livestock have died. We are just bluffing. The materials allocated by the court in the past two years have accumulated, which can fully support us for three months."

Zhao Xing glanced at the four major strategic envoys and said, "It has been two years since we have been communicating with each other and constantly discussing combat plans. Can you all know what everyone needs to do?"

The four major strategies bowed and replied: "The affairs are detailed and we can learn about them."

Zhao Xing took a step forward, straightened his body, and announced loudly: "So, everyone should set off now and return to their own station. On March 3rd, on Daughter's Day, we will start together."

Except for the Zong Shizhong, the other three commanders bowed together: "Be careful to obey the orders of the Taiwei."

After saying this, the three of them did not leave. They looked at Zhao Xing with anticipation, and Zhong Shizhong spoke for them: "Taiwei, let me say a few words. The backbone officials from all over the place are here. Let me tell them a few words to let them know why they are fighting."

Zhao Xing hesitated for a moment, and when he turned over, he jumped onto the roof of the carriage, took a deep breath at the thousands of officers and soldiers in the schoolyard, and then loudly announced: "For thousands of years, our China has been suffering from the barbarians. Since the end of the Three Kingdoms, the barbarians have repeatedly entered the Central Plains and regarded our Chinese common people as pigs and dogs. They even regarded us as food and called them "two-legged sheep".

The prosperous Tang Dynasty ended hundreds of years of disasters in the barbarians and re-established the orthodox Chinese. However, the prosperous Tang Dynasty only lasted a hundred years, and the barbarians re-inflicted the Central Plains, causing our Chinese to suffer another two hundred years of suffering. After the establishment of the Emperor Song Dynasty, our Chinese people were able to hold their heads high and no longer be the food of barbarians. In today's battle, we were to tell the barbarians that we were humans and we were angry. We were not their money piles. If we were short of money, we would come to us to grab food. We were not its granary, and if we were hungry, we would come to us to get food.
To be continued...
