Chapter 54 The Ghost of Choibalsan

The strong north wind blew on the shield with gravel, making a crackling sound. Li Qing walked on the battlefield, and the shield was carried on his back, and the thick armor made him look like a moving fortress.¢£,

The iron-clad boots were stepped on the soft sand and took one footprint at a time, but soon, the footprints were filled with the sand and soil brought by the wind.

Looking around, there were broken corpses and unowned war horses everywhere in sight. Several flags fell to the ground casually, whistling by the wind, but there was no sign of the flag bearer.

This is a slaughterhouse!

One-person-high crossbow guns can be seen everywhere, and stones as big as selves are densely embedded in the soft sand, but more are embedded in the dead body.

"The combat power of the equipment will eventually replace personal bravery!"

Li Qing, who had patrolled the battlefield, whispered to himself.

After saying this, Li Qing found a clean sand without blood. He found that he was more and more interested in drinking corpses and staying with living people, rather than drinking and having fun with them, even after winning the battle.

This is a feeling that is indescribable. In the nightmare of the past, there is always no shortage of corpses. After the battle in Qinzhou, the appearance of those life-and-death brothers who died in battle always appear in his dreams. Over time, he got used to it. He even learned to sing with the broken corpses in his dreams, so that only by seeing the corpses can his heart be truly quiet.

I grabbed a broken flag at my hand and wiped my hands. This was the flag of the Heqing Army. Now the army has been wiped out. Just now, the more than 4,000 Liao troops captured just now were buried alive by the prime minister in Jinxiu Mountain.

Removed a bag of dry food from a corpse, which contained jerky meat. This was air-dried meat. A very good marching food, Li Qing ate a piece slowly. It was very hard, but the taste was very good, and the salt tasted very strong, but it was military food. Salty and dry are a must.

If you eat too much, you will feel thirsty. The water in the Liao army's water bag has turned into ice. Li Qing used a knife to split the skin bag, smashed a large piece of ice, and found a piece of crystal clear and put it in his mouth and sucked slowly.

Lying on the sand with his back on his back, two lonely eagles still hovering in the sky, occasionally flying down, making loud screams at the corpses.

This is Haidongqing, a tame-hardened by the Liao army. The reason why this battle was able to wipe out the Heqing army was completely wiped out. The most important thing is that the prime minister deceived these two Haidongqing. Their simple brains have no way to distinguish the crowd from the sheep's flock. They still can't tell the difference between people in sheep's clothing and real sheep. In their opinion, as long as the ones wearing sheep's clothing are sheep.

"War is nothing more than a game of cheaters!"

This is the second very philosophical sentence that Li Qing said today. The first sentence just confirms the necessity and feasibility of forming the Poxi Army. The demise of the Heqing Army even proves that the combat power of an army can be enhanced exponentially by equipment.

The cavalry charged in the dense rain of arrows, and may have a chance to survive, but the cavalry charged in the dense raindrops of stones. The outcome was very miserable.

Li Qing even thought about what would happen if the stones were replaced with the Song army's gunpowder bullets.

He quickly inferred the result, that is, there would be no such situation at all. The price of gunpowder bullets was too expensive. No one could throw gunpowder bullets like stones all over the world. Even Yun Zheng, the prodigal son, could not do it.

It will be very uncomfortable when the sand enters the eyes, but it doesn't matter after the person dies. Looking at the eyes of a corpse in front of him, Li Qing saw the dust stained on his eyes, so he raised his hand to close the eyes of the corpse, not wanting to see those gray eyes.

The Xixia army in the brigade entered the battlefield. The soldiers began to remove the armor from the bodies in an orderly manner, stripped off their relatively clean clothes, and took away all the things that could still be used. These were very important to the Xixia people.

A black war horse stopped beside Li Qing, and the knight on the horse looked down at Li Qing, and the majesty in his eyes seemed to have been solidified.

Li Qing sat up embarrassedly. From the bottom to the top, he looked like a majestic emperor. Although he is still the prime minister, everyone knows that as long as the weak and sick child in Xingqing Mansion died, he will immediately become the king of the entire Xixia.

A black sable was thrown off the horse and covered Li Qing's head. Pang You said quietly: "Wear more clothes and don't fall ill."

Then there were bursts of horse hooves, and the sound of horse hooves passing by.

Li Qing took off the black sable from his head and put it on his body randomly. He looked at the far away with some worry. There is a legend in the Western Xia army that as long as the country is better than anyone else, he will be far from death.

This sentence has its origin. The Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager Wu Zang have depended on each other since childhood. The Mo Zang family was even raised by the Prime Minister. No one doubted the deep love between brothers and sisters. However, when the Prime Minister strangled the Queen Mother to death, he heard that his hands were very stable.

Li Qing always believed that he should be under the city of Xijing, or after crossing the frozen Yellow River, attacking the land of Liao Kingdom, just like what Yun Zheng is doing now, instead of running to Mobei to grab some treasure!

Yun Zheng must have laughed out loud at this time, and that's what Li Qing thought.

The problem is that Li Qing thinks it is useless, and other knowledgeable people in Daxia think it is useless. If the prime minister wants to go to Yelu Xin's territory to grab the treasure, everyone has to travel thousands of miles to find some shit treasures.

Li Qing, the entire Heqing army, was not happy at all. The more Liao troops he killed now, the easier it would be for Yun Zheng. Some treasures he went to find, but Yun Zheng was expanding his territory and had already obtained the real treasure.

The national prime minister is crazy!

This is the only reason why Li Qing could explain clearly the current reason for the Prime Minister. If there was no devil, the Prime Minister should not have led his army to the north of the Mo. He should have looked for the glory and interests of the Xixia people in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

When two major powers are at war, the third major power should easily find its own interests. However, the prime minister seems to have given up all of them, but he just wants the weakest interest, that is, the treasure of Mama. Even if the treasure is full of gold, what about it?

The despicable Song people just passed a decree. They no longer allow gold and silver to be circulated on the market. Small transactions are made of copper coins and large transactions are made of Jiaozi. Their Song money houses are hoarding gold and silver. They issue as much value as gold and silver. God knows whether they really do this. In Li Qing's opinion, the greedy Song people secretly print a few more Jiaozi.

In the future, those despicable Song people only need to use those beautiful pieces of paper to buy cattle, sheep, fur, green salt, medicinal materials and other good things from Xixia.

Li Qing was very worried that once the Song people made Jiaozi all over the world, the people of Daxia held a pile of paper and could not know if they could still exchange for the good things they needed in urgent need. Even if they could still be used, they only needed to control the exchange rate slightly, and the people of Daxia would probably be in business without any profit.

A ingot, Xiang Wulang, weighs ten taels of gold, and can buy twenty slaves, thirty war horses, and two warehouses of grain in Daxia.

However, in the Song Dynasty, ten taels of gold need to be exchanged for eighty taels of silver, and then one tael of gold or eight taels of silver can be exchanged for one thousand five hundred copper coins.

Then use 1,500 copper coins to exchange for what you need.

Now no one can understand why copper coins are so valuable. Ten taels of gold are exchanged for 15,000 copper coins, which is fifteen stanza copper coins.

Three years ago, one tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver for ten scoops of copper coins. The prices in Daxia and Dasong seemed to be that gold was equally valuable, but now it is different...

People don’t even give you 15,000 copper coins, because the laws of the Song Dynasty stipulate that Jiaozi must be used for transactions above the previous period, so gold turned into a piece of paper with numbers written on it.

Li Qing didn't believe that the prime minister who was busy with trouble could not see these changes, could not see the sinister intentions of the Song people, and could not see that although the Song people were attacking the Liao Kingdom, was the one who really wanted to destroy the Daxia?

He took off the sable and threw it away, but after he found that Mozang Epang was back, he quickly picked up the sable and dusted it off and put it on again. At this time, no one in Mozang Epang was willing to offend, and he dared not offend him.

"Li Qing, the road to the north has been opened. I have ordered Zhang Jiang to go first as the pioneer. You have heavy baggage from the Xi army. Can you arrive at Dagahaizi within the agreed time?"

Mozang Epang jumped off the war horse and helped Li Qing tidy up the sable fur and asked.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "It's too far. It's more than 2,300 miles away. The carriage that pulls the baggage can't hold on so far. What's more, there are deserts along the way, and it's not easy to find materials for repairing the carriage."

Mozang Epang's face was full of anxiety, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know that you have other opinions about Daga Haizi in the Northern Expedition, and you all think I'm crazy."

But I tell you that Daga Haizi's trip was the result of my careful consideration. Li Qing, I only ask you to obey military orders, can you?"

Li Qing opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Mozang Epang again, but when he thought of the terrible consequences of those who advised Mozang Epang, he finally swallowed his words and raised his chest and said loudly: "I will definitely follow the instructions of the Prime Minister and die without regret."

Mozange Pang nodded with gratitude and said, "When you follow me to Dagahaizi and go to Qiaobashan, you will know how wise my decision is!"

A thought flashed through Li Qing's mind and asked in a low voice: "Major, is there more than just gold on Qiaoba Mountain?"

Mozang Epang smiled sly, then patted Li Qing on the shoulder and left. After walking far away, he shouted loudly to Li Qing: "Li Qing, go! Let's go to Qiaobashan, there will definitely not disappoint you!" (To be continued...)
