Li Hu took Pingzhou Road and his life should be better, but he proposed a higher amount of aid to the Song Dynasty for various reasons. In addition to money and various materials, he also listed the assistance of heavy armor, divine arm bow and firearm in terms of weapons...

"Aid five million a year..." Li Gang shook his head repeatedly, "Master, according to the number you listed, the annual salary of your 120,000 Liaodong Rebel Army will be paid by our Song Dynasty."

Li Hu smiled slightly, "Director Li, don't forget that the Liaodong rebel army is now the army of the Song Dynasty, and I, Li Hu, is also the envoy of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty's northern expedition and regained the hometown of Yanyun, and my Liaodong rebel army will fight bloody battles for it. May I ask, shouldn't the Song Dynasty pay the salary of this army? Everything in the world has to pay a price, and it also requires horses to run away, and horses not to eat grass. This kind of thing is only found in heaven, and it seems that the world has never heard of it." He turned his head and looked at Li Gang, "Has Deputy Li seen such a legendary divine horse?"

Li Gang was not in a good mood and Li Hu was joking. He said solemnly: "Master, my imperial guards in the Song Dynasty are about 600,000, and the wing army is more than 400,000. The imperial guards in the Song Dynasty are about 50 stakes and wing soldiers are about 30 stakes. In this way, the military expenditure of the annual military expenditure is about 45 million stakes. In recent years, my annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty is about 80 million stakes to 90 million stakes. In other words, half of my tax revenue of the Song Dynasty is used for military expenditure." Li Gang pointed to the memorial on the case table, "You need 5 million stakes at one mouth, is it possible? To be honest, even if you offer 500,000 stakes of assistance, Your Majesty can't give it to you, because Your Majesty can't make the decision on this matter."

Li Hu's smile was a little stiff. I'm straight, 500,000 yuan, and I can't make a decision. Why should I fight for him? I'm so full? Now I have territory and army. Even if I put a straw bid on my head, I'm more than that price.

"Master, don't think the Song Dynasty is very rich, but now the Song Dynasty is in debt." Ma Kuo saw Li Hu's eyes showing fierce look and knew that he was angry. He was worried about a sudden change, so he decided to reveal some secrets to him.

What? He is heavily in debt? Li Hu sneered. Li Gang just said that the annual financial income of the Song Dynasty was 80 million to 90 million yuan, and he was still heavily in debt like this? Who are you lying to?

"Since the second year of Chongning (1103 AD), Tong Guan went to the northwest to preside over the military, he fought for six or seven years, and successively recovered the Jishi Army and Taozhou, but the Song Dynasty paid an astonishing price for this." Ma Kuo whispered, "In the northwest battlefield, our Song Dynasty's main forces came from the Lin, Prefecture and Two Prefectures near Xixia, which were about 200,000 imperial guards and 200,000 fang troops. For each battle of 100,000 people, we spend about 30 million jin of military funds. From this we calculate how much money the Song Dynasty spent in six or seven years."

"In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115 AD), in order to implement the strategy of pacifying Yan, Tong Guan led his army to the northwest to attack Xixia. This battle lasted another five years, and the money spent was also amazing. What is particularly sad is that this time the Song Dynasty lost 100,000 elite Northwest Army troops, and the Northwest general Liu Fa was killed in the battle, and the Northwest Army was severely damaged."

Li Hu understood. The Song Dynasty had to spend money to raise soldiers, and even to fight. Originally, the military expenditure of the land was half of the financial income in a year, and then another battle was fought. All the financial income in that year was spent. If two wars were fought, the Song Dynasty would have to be in debt. In recent years, wars were fought every year in the northwest. It is conceivable that the Song Dynasty's treasury must be empty now and the debt was high.

However, Li Hu was a little confused. I also raised soldiers and fought. Why did I become richer the more I fought? Think about it carefully, it was easy to understand. Li Hu was a pauper. He rebelled with two kitchen knives, and then brought a large group of pauper, burned, killed, and robbed others' things, and of course he became richer the more he fought. Da Song was like a big boss, who raised a group of thugs and equipped them with money, grain and weapons. Then he wanted to steal other people's territory. If he didn't spend it, how could he grab territory? Li Hu and Da Song were not at the same starting point at all, and there was no comparison.

Now Li Hu has territory, money, and has become a big shot, and a large number of thugs have also changed. This matter has changed immediately. He has to spend money to fight. Without money, he not only can't afford to support thugs, but he can't even fight. Naturally, he doesn't mention robbing others' territory.

If you don’t have money, do you have weapons? Do you have supplies? You have reserves for these things, so you can always give me some, right?

"No." Li Gang was determined and had no room for negotiation. "The heavy armor, divine arm bow and firearm of the Song Dynasty were all famous weapons. Except for the imperial guards, no other army could be used, let alone the Liaodong Rebel Army. At present, we are still ally with the Liao Kingdom, and the Northern Expedition is absolutely confidential. Once these weapons are exposed, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Liao army. If they guessed the strategy of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition, Chen's heavy troops were in Baigou (the northern border of the Song and Liaohe River), the difficulty of the Northern Expedition would be greatly increased."

Li Hu was so angry that he laughed instead of anger, "Hehe, so I can't get anything?"

"We have agreed to use horses to make things happen," said Ma Kuo. "In this battle, you wiped out all the 30,000 Yelu Gao's palace tent army and seized tens of thousands of war horses. These are money. As long as you keep it back, the Song Dynasty can ensure the normal needs of the rebel army."

Li Hu laughed. Do you think I am an idiot when the bitch raises something? Treat me as a dog, and you want to pass it off with a bone, right? Tell you, go dreaming.

Li Gang felt that Li Hu was furious, and he hurriedly said, "Master, we are all Han people. Our goals are the same. We will kill the enemy and restore the Han and Yanyun, realize the unification of China and foreign countries, and rebuild the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties.\ This is a success of thousands of years, and this is a success of fame that will remain in the past for the sake of this success of the ages. For this success of the ages, we must work together and we must be brave to sacrifice... Please look at the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. In any prosperous era, there must be a genius and heroes, and if everyone is competing for their own interests, they are petty, and even willing to draw their swords to face each other and kill each other, how can we establish a success of the ages?"

Farting. Li Hu almost cursed, "Bitch keeps things, who are you scaring me?" I'm very fond of me? I'm petty? I'm not a conscience? You're simply distorted by black and white, and you're totally conscience? I'm using my achievements to make me laugh.

"Okay." Li Hu suppressed his anger and laughed loudly, "My horse has increased its price. Do you still want it?"

Ma Kuo and Li Gang looked at each other and were also very angry. Li Hu was extremely shameless and began to be arrogant as soon as he took the Pingzhou Road. Not only did he ask for a price everywhere, but he also wanted to blackmail. If he did not agree, the next sentence might be even more terrifying. He would threaten the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition.

"Now, I have taken down Pingzhou Road as agreed. So, I ask you, since the Song Dynasty's treasury is in debt, what will His Majesty use to fight the Northern Expedition? How many troops will he use to fight the Northern Expedition? If the Song Dynasty's army fails to launch an attack from September to October next year, and the Liao army will do all its strength to fight, what will I use to guard Pingzhou Road?" Li Hu tried his best to keep calm, but his tone was very cold, "There is no danger to defend Pingzhou Road. If I want to defend Pingzhou Road, if I want to achieve a north-south attack with the Song army, I need to take the initiative to attack, and I must use attack instead of defense. I have 120,000 troops, and I want to maintain the offensive. What should I use to maintain the offensive?"

Ma Kuo and Li Gang remained silent. This is also a serious real problem. Li Hu initially led his army south to break through because he had plundered enough money and materials. This year, he captured Pingzhou Road because he received assistance from the Song Dynasty. Now, Li Hu's territory is larger, his population is larger, and his army is larger, but the money and materials accumulated in the past have been exhausted, and the front line has also been lengthened. He needs to fight on two lines at the same time. It is impossible to support it by relying solely on Liaoxi Road and Pingzhou Road and Huiyi income. He does need more money and materials to provide assistance to the land, otherwise he may not be able to defend Pingzhou Road.

Now there are only nine months left before the Song army's Northern Expedition. If Pingzhou Road is gained and lost again, the Northern Expedition strategy of the North and South attack will be defeated immediately, and the difficulty of the Northern Expedition will greatly increase.

"If Your Majesty is able to launch the Northern Expedition, then my Liaodong Rebel Army is also one of the troops of the Northern Expedition. I should get these assistance, otherwise..." Li Hu looked at Ma Kuo, looked at Li Gang, but did not continue to say it. His meaning was very obvious, otherwise I would not do it anymore and would not play with you anymore.

"I will bring this memorial back to Bianjing." Ma Kuo sighed secretly and said helplessly, "In the memorial, with the Northern Expedition as the center, we will explain in detail the current dilemma of the Prime Minister and the Liaodong Rebel Army. If it can move the hearts of Your Majesty and the gang of warlords, it may make the Queen get what she wants."

This is a comforting word, and he knows that it is actually absolutely impossible.

"I'll write the memorial." Li Gang said on his own initiative. In order to succeed in the Northern Expedition, he can only do his best now. Perhaps this memorial can touch His Majesty's heart.

In fact, Li Hu's words are not wrong. Your Majesty has the money to cast nine tripods, build Mingtang, build Fangze, establish Taoist temples, dig three mountains of Dabao, build Tiancheng, and two bridges of Shenggong, and build Wanshou Mountain. Of course, he should also have the money to launch the Northern Expedition. Since Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army are important parts of the Northern Expedition, they should of course provide the greatest assistance. In theory, this is absolutely not wrong.
