    "You little Hu'er, how can you talk about fighting?" Yelu Kuan said sarcastically.  It seems that the Liao Kingdom is indeed very concerned about the war in the Song Dynasty last year. Even Wang Ju laughed at Ali Gu, a little Huer, and heard about it.  Ali Gu stood there with a blushing face, not knowing what to say.  Wang Ju said: "Duke Rong, please retreat." "Here." Ali Gu retreated.  Wang Ju looked at the two Liao envoys again and said: "Emissary Yelu, I still say the same thing, the Song and Liao countries are equally powerful. Once a war breaks out, it may be a stalemate for decades or hundreds of years, and it will be difficult to decide the winner. If it really comes to this point,  The people of both countries have been seriously affected by the war, and their lives have been devastated. Therefore, neither Your Majesty, nor Mr., nor the ministers here are willing to antagonize your country again. " "But a person's patience is limited, for the same reason.  A country's patience is also limited. Since the Song-Liao Alliance, although the border has been barely peaceful, your country has changed the 300,000-year-old coins into 500,000-year-old coins, and extorted 700 miles of territory from Hedong.  In this way, we, the Song Dynasty, are still patient. But what right does your country have to tell us, the Song Dynasty?" "Xi Xia has repeatedly invaded our country, the Song Dynasty. Why can't our country just fight back?" "Maybe you think your Liao country is powerful?  I don¡¯t know whether what the Goryeo envoy said is true or false. If it is true, a scattered Jurchen rebellion can cause your Liao Kingdom to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It has not yet been quelled. With such fighting power, someone might as well continue  After leading the army for two or three years, he fought a decisive battle with your country at the foot of Yanyun City. He did not retire from politics until the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties was repaired one by one! " If calculated based on the Great Wall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it starts from the section of the ancient Great Wall in the north of Liangzhou and extends to  Yinzhou then gradually entered the territory of Liao Kingdom, and all the sixteen states of Yanyun were within the pass.  If we calculate it based on the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, it will be pushed north to the Yinshan Mountains, and then continue to be pushed eastward to the Baidali area, Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom, Shenzhou, Tokyo and other areas in Liaodong, all included.  If calculated based on the Great Wall of the Western Han Dynasty, it will be pushed westward to Yumen Pass.  However, it was not that the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty was weakened. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no opponents and there was no need for the defense of the Great Wall. Therefore, many Great Walls collapsed one after another due to disrepair.  But no matter which Great Wall you choose, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are definitely within the Great Wall Pass.  And the Song Dynasty was extremely densely populated, which meant that the Song Dynasty had enough labor to build the Great Wall.  And after several years of adjustments by Wang Ju, the country also has sufficient financial resources.  Just like the northwest had been fighting for several years, the people in the inland Song Dynasty did not feel the impact of the war at all, and the entire country's economy was still developing at a high speed.  As long as the court is not in a hurry for success and divides it into ten or eight years, with the financial resources and labor of the Song Dynasty, it is easy enough to repair the entire ancient Great Wall.  "With the Great Wall and the cooperation of the fortresses, once the Liao Kingdom is lost, it will never be able to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture.  Yelu Kuan's expression changed.  Wang Ju said: "We, the Song Dynasty, have repeatedly given in for the sake of peace, but you, the Liao Kingdom, have repeatedly pushed you. I might as well use Goryeo's method to send people to sneak into Liaodong to find out the reality of the Liaodong campaign. If what Goryeo said is right, I would like to  Do one thing and see who owns the world in this world! " " Taibao" " Taibao" The first one was exhaled by Fan Chunren, and the second one was exhaled by Ye Lukuan.  Wang Ju was openly shouting that he was going to start a war. Fan Chunren wanted to persuade Wang Ju not to be impulsive.  But Yelvkuan¡¯s thoughts were more complicated.  As the Liao Kingdom, they definitely didn¡¯t want the Song Dynasty to destroy Xixia.  But now that the Song Dynasty has agreed to the peace treaty with Xixia, there is no need to cause trouble.  Besides, Liaodong was dragging down the Liao State to some extent, so how much troops could the Liao State mobilize to fight the Song Dynasty.  Or we could count on Xixia. Can we count on Xixia now?  And when he came, he had another important task, which was to provide grains.  Last year, the Song Dynasty sent some grain seeds. Originally in order to contain the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty also planned to have the Liao Kingdom send some officials and farmers to Hebei of the Song Dynasty to learn and observe its planting methods with the local people.  However, because the tone of the Liao Kingdom's credential was a bit domineering last year, the Song Dynasty was displeased and gave some grain seeds, so the matter of observation was gone.  In fact, the real situation is that Ali Gu's sudden betrayal disrupted Wang Ju's plan, but he had to fulfill his promise, so Wang Ju proposed a compromise strategy.  These grains were transported from far away overseas. Apart from Wang Ju, almost no one knew about them. But even Wang Ju was not a farmer in his previous life. He also didn't know very well how to grow them. He could only remember a rough idea.  At the same time, they also have an adaptive evolution process.  So when I started planting, the first thing was to explore the accurate planting method.The second is to cultivate their adaptive evolution according to the season, so some are planted in the south and some in the north.  In order to deal with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty brought over the grain seeds from the south and only briefly explained the planting methods. Therefore, after the two Liao envoys brought these grains back, they could not say that there was no harvest at all, but compared with the Song Dynasty's side  Compared with the harvest, the gap is too big.  Especially the rebellion in Liaodong was not only caused by the illegal greed of various envoys, but also by the closed environment that caused the people in this area to have extremely backward farming methods. Backwardness meant poverty, and poverty meant barbarism.  ¡° If miscellaneous grains can be promoted in most areas of the Liao Kingdom, it will indeed be of great help to the Liao Kingdom, including Liaodong. If there is a harvest, it will also further stabilize the Jurchens.  Moreover, giving birth to a daughter is really not a rebellion this time. There are countless small-scale rebellions, and it is not just this large-scale rebellion. Song Taizong's rebellion was equally huge.  The Song Dynasty promised not to annihilate Xixia, and the matter of Xixia was over. Then we have to discuss this miscellaneous grain, how many officials and people must be sent here, and what precautions must be taken, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will send tens of thousands of officers and soldiers pretending to be farmers.  , and then ran around, the Song Dynasty lost Hebei Road 1, 2, and 3. Of course, the Song Dynasty could not agree.  Especially for this miscellaneous food, most of China's orthodox history books only record that the nomads continued to go south and brought harm to the people of the Central Plains again and again, but they did not record another thing, that is, the vulnerability of the nomads. It seems that the nomads  Incomparably powerful and fierce, in fact they are equally hateful and pitiful, that is their living habits and environment. If the weather is smooth, everything will be fine, but if the weather is bad, especially a severe cold wave in winter, which is common in the north,  If it happens, most of the livestock will freeze to death, which means that the people will have nothing to eat in the next year, and half of the people will starve to death!  For food, various internal tribes may start a war, or they may invade southward!  Therefore, the Han and Tang Dynasties settled these nomadic peoples in Hebei, Hedong, and northern Shaanxi. Of course, this policy was definitely wrong, but it was also a helpless move. Putting these nomadic subjects here, first, the cold wave would not have a big impact.  If people starve to death, they will not invade the Central Plains. At the same time, if they are placed here, it is equivalent to forming a Great Wall in disguise. There are nomadic people in the north, but the first line of defense that is harmed when going south is the Hu people. The most famous example is in the era of Wu Zetian  , the post-Turks moved south, forcing Wu Zetian to go to Hebei with Di Renjie as marshal. In fact, the post-Turks invasion caused the most harm to the Hu people settled in northern Hebei!  Wang Ju has also said this.  But what I¡¯m talking about is not the resettlement policy, but the importance of the Yanyun area to the Khitan.  But even with the Yanyun area, the food problem is still one of the crises for the Khitan. With this miscellaneous grain, the Khitan will not be confused by the food crisis.  Now that the Song Dynasty has made a lot of concessions, let¡¯s just accept them as they see fit.  However, Yelvkuan was not simple either. Just as he was about to speak, Fan Chunren spoke. Well, there was something going on inside the Song Dynasty. He closed his mouth in time and looked at Fan Chunren.  Then, Fan Chunren He suddenly thought of Wang Ju and Fu Bi.  The center is Fu Bi, which is a passage about Fu Bi when Wang Ju opened his lecture.  Before going to Shaanxi, Wang Juwei started talking about the Niu-Li party struggle in the Tang Dynasty, and then talked about Fu Bi's mission to the Liao Kingdom.  The Qingli War lasted for several years, which brought a heavy burden to the people of both Song and Xia countries. The people of Xixia ate rats, Guanyin soil and tree bark. The situation in the Song Dynasty was also not very good, and a small drought broke out.  Massive peasant uprising.  Zhang Hai, Guo Miaoshan, and Li Tiejian rebelled behind, while in front the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to blackmail the Song Dynasty.  In this case, Fu Bi went to Liao as an envoy.  The first mission was to set up two general directions. Fu Bi forced Liao Xingzong to give up his claim to the territory of the ten counties in Guannan. If he asked for money, he could give him money. If the Liao State could restrain Li Yuanhao from using troops, the Song Dynasty would add twenty  Ten thousand, if not, it can only be increased by one hundred thousand.  This latter point is very important, which led to Xingzong of Liao's invasion of Xixia and Hequ's disastrous defeat. Xixia also worsened the situation, and then there was "forty-two years of ignorance of military revolution", which was the longest period of peace in the Song Dynasty.  However, Fu Bi was unwilling to give up and asked Lu Yijian to forcibly add three requirements to the credentials. We, the Song Dynasty, gave them, but the lakes and ponds on the border between the two countries were not allowed to expand, the two countries were not allowed to add troops to the border, and the two countries were not allowed to accept fugitives from each other.  These three additional requirements are also very important, because the Liao Kingdom repeatedly used the Song Dynasty to expand lakes and ponds on the border, but they themselves were also doing it. If we, the Song Dynasty, do not increase the strength of the border, you are not allowed to increase the strength and defense thickness of the border.  !  There is also the prohibition on adding troops to the border. Just like in the Battle of Gyeongju, the Liao Kingdom sent troops in a subtle manner. It is precisely because of this that the troops were never really mobilized to the front lines and borders.  Of course, it's alsoTo restrain the Song Dynasty, for example, Wang Ju's proposal to train border soldiers was to train border soldiers on the second line instead of the real front line, which effectively guaranteed peace between the two countries.  Lu Yijian and Zhu Xianggong drafted an oath of credence, two letters of credence, three oaths, and related copies, a total of ten copies.  Fu Bi went to the Liao Kingdom first again, because time was too tight, but he was a civil servant after all, and his speed was limited, so he was allowed to go first, and then the credentials were chased to Fu Bi by special foot delivery.  However, these ten documents arrived in Wuqiang and were later handed over to Fu Bi. This made Fu Bi suspicious, so he took the risk to open it and found that the three requests he made were missing.  Fu Bi was furious. According to the system, he could not come back. However, his friend Cai Ting happened to be observing filial piety in his hometown of Changshou, so he asked Cai Ting to go to Beijing to question Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian replied that there was no need to change the credentials, and these three requirements could be stated orally.  To the Liao people.  Fu Bi became even more angry and ignored the system. He returned to the capital in a rage and opened fire on Lu Yijian, "Yu Yi invades the barbarian bamboo slips."  Fu Bi's old father-in-law, Yan Shu, was also arguing with him nearby. Fu Bi angrily said that Yan Shu was a treacherous man who formed a party with Lu Yijian for personal gain and deceived His Majesty.  This kind of thing led to later gentlemen attacking Lu Yijian together.  But Wang Ju went deeper. First, why did Lu Yijian do this? Lu Yijian was definitely not a treacherous minister, and it was Lu Yijian who suggested that Fu Bi go to Liao as an envoy. Other ministers did not have the courage and courage to do so, and they would not be able to talk to each other even if they went there.  good!  Not only Fu Bi, but also Han Qi, Pang Ji and Fan Zhongyan were all promoted by Lu Yijian one after another!  So why did Lu Yijian do this? The gentlemen were so angry at the time. However, the situation behind the scenes was that the crisis in the Song Dynasty was getting more and more serious. If the Liao Kingdom really sent troops to the Song Dynasty at that time, the Song Dynasty might be attacked by the Liao and Xia countries.  There was the danger of national subjugation, so Lu Yijian was worried that these three demands were too tough and the Liao Kingdom would not agree, so he did not write them in the credential!  Of course, when Fu Bi went on two missions to the Liao Kingdom, he behaved politely and well. He did a good job and will be remembered in history.  But what if?  Here is another example, that is, Kou Zhun pushed Song Zhenzong to the front line of Chanzhou, and succeeded. Therefore, Kou Zhun became a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and even made future generations unable to see many shortcomings in Kou Zhun, such as his contempt for southerners.  (Leaving hidden dangers for the later conflict between the North and the South), nepotism, etc.  But later, for example, the great eunuch Wang Zhen seduced Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen into Tumubao Or during the Tokyo Defense War, Li Gang secretly transferred the two emperors of Huiqin to Luoyang in advance to prevent the Jin people from successfully "beheading" As  For a prime minister of a country, this concern is understandable.  But not many people understand the painstaking efforts of Lu Yijian, and then there was the overthrow of Lu, the gentleman came to power, and the overthrow of Xia, especially Shi Jie, wrote in "Qingli Shengde Poem", Yu Wei Qingli, March of the third year  , Emperor Longxing, Xu Chuweitai In fact, the truth about the Qingli New Deal is a complete farce.  Then he wrote that Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were in agreement with each other, and they were comparable to the famous great ministers in ancient times.  "The great traitor is gone, just like the distance." How miserable Xia Song was at that time, isn't it enough? Isn't it enough?  At least without me, Xia Song, you, Han Qi, would be dead!  And "On Clique".  In fact, since then, the Song Dynasty has begun to accumulate huge hostility.  Finally, Wang Ju raised another issue. The Liao State's border expedition with Chen Bing was definitely not just for blackmail. However, Fu Bi performed well and finally allowed the Liao State to get 200,000 troops to retreat.  But behind the scenes, the Liao Kingdom also had different opinions. Some wanted to send troops, and some did not want to send troops. Coupled with Fu Bi's performance and the 200,000 benefits, the "pro-Song faction" gained the upper hand. This was Fu Bi's time  The whole truth about the Liao Kingdom was revealed.  "However, the question is the conflict between the two opinions within the Liao State. Did the Song Dynasty notice it At least there are different opinions. As the prime minister of a country, he cannot express it in front of the Liao State envoys.
