Chapter 42 I don't want him to win, I want him to lose!

After the great Ouyang Bian returned, he quickly sent the letter back to Beijing through urgent delivery. Naturally, such important information must be delivered by urgent delivery.

Ouyang Bian wanted to make trouble, but Zhao Xu was really responsible for this matter. Not only could he not do it himself, he also had to avoid it, otherwise he would be charged with sowing the relationship between the two brotherly countries, which would be bad.

——The people in the court were all trying to step on themselves again.

With Ouyang Bian's understanding of Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu must be unable to resist such a good opportunity.

As expected, he quickly sent the letter. Zhao Xu appointed Ouyang Bian as the supervisor of the matter to deal with this matter. Li Bingchang cooperated with Ouyang Bian as the most important thing was to bring back several Hedong states.

The Xixia states in Hedong are not useless. Not only are they one-third of the size of Xixia, but they are also the most fertile land on the Hetao Plain. They are the best horse farming land. If they are obtained there, it will be a strategic reversal for the Song Dynasty.

Without further ado, Ouyang Bian had long been eyeing Hetao.

How important is Hetao?

The Hetao area is of great significance to the Central Plains dynasty. If you get it, you will be Guanzhong. Hebei will be as stable as Mount Tai. If you lose it, the entire north will be shaken.

Hetao is not just a horse farming land, but the Central Plains dynasty's buffer against nomadic peoples. The key is that this place is also a strategic location for Xixia.

Most of the land in Xixia was severely desertified, but in the Hetao area, the existence of tall mountains blocked the wind and sand blowing from the Mongolian Plateau. The continuous erosion of the Yellow River made the Hetao Plain suitable for agriculture, animal husbandry and fertile land.

The area of ​​the Ordos Plateau is five times that of the Hetao Plain, but its natural conditions are very harsh, with severe desertification, lack of water sources, and low population load.

The Hetao region is the foundation of the Xixia dynasty. With Hetao, although Xixia may not be rich, it can ensure that it is not affected by famine. However, if Hetao is lost, Xixia's risk resistance will be basically zero.

If you lose Hetao, Xixia will lose blood and become weak quickly.

The Song Dynasty that obtained Hetao would become stronger, and the Central Plains Dynasty with Hetao horses would be the powerful central dynasty.

So Zhao Xu gave Ouyang Bian the order to get Hetao at all costs!

Ouyang Bian will do it as soon as he gets Zhao Xu's secret order.

Ouyang Bian handed a letter to the transportation department of modern animal husbandry, and the letter would naturally arrive at Li Bingchang quickly, which did not require Ouyang Bian to worry about.

Modern Animal Husbandry Group has completed its infiltration in Xixia, and this little thing is easy to get.

After returning to Qingzhou, Ouyang Bian immediately inspected Qingzhou Industrial Park.

——When he returned to Gyeongju, he had not yet visited this industrial center located in the northwest.

Gyeongju Industrial Park is said to be the Northwest Industrial Center, but in fact, it may be the world's industrial center.

Here, after six or seven years of development, it has millions of professional workers. Technical school students continuously provided by Bianjing Technical School as technical backbone, gathering up, middle and downstream supporting enterprises of heavy industry and light industry in this era, forming such an industrial center.

Today's Qingzhou Industrial Park radiates to the Western Xia, Tubo tribes, Liao Kingdom, Qinfeng Road, Lizhou Road, Chengdu Fu Road, Hedong Road, Jingxi Road, and even the influence has spread to the Uighurs, Hei Khan and other countries and regions in the west.

After the inspection, Ouyang Bian was quite satisfied. This place has formed the most complete industrial category in the world today. Even if it is blocked, there is no need to worry about not being able to produce things. As long as there are raw materials, various products can be produced continuously.

But Ouyang Bian’s purpose today is not to investigate this, he is to see the guards of the industrial park.

The captain of the guard team of the industrial park is Di Hu. He was Di Qing's former servant. He said he was a servant, but in fact he was the most trusted confidant.

After Di Qing was relieved and returned to the field, Di Hu and some servants asked Di Qing to send him to Ouyang Bian, who placed them in the banking supervision guard.

Before Ouyang Bian came to Qingzhou and started building an industrial park, he asked Di Hu and others to enter the industrial park guards. It has been six or seven years since then.

The name of the escort in the industrial park is the escort, but the number of people and equipment are not like the escort.

The industrial park has a total of 10,000 guards, wearing black armor, riding tall horses, and equipped with bows, arrows, rifles, and sabers. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most elite cavalry.

But it is normal. These people are from the banking supervision guards, but they have just changed their names.

Although the number of guards is large, they are not very prominent in a million-level industrial park. Today's industrial park covers an area of ​​up to 20 square kilometers and has many factories. More than 10,000 guards are scattered inside, which is not very eye-catching. There are bases for concentrated training, which are quite secret and not noticeable.

Ouyang Bian watched the escort training in the escort training camp. After watching it, he was full of confidence. With these ten thousand elite cavalrymen, he didn't need to be so careful when he did things.

According to Di Hu, these ten thousand guards are enough to match the top cavalry in the world.

The so-called top cavalry of the world refer to the Tie Harrier of the Western Xia, the Tie Lin Army of the Liao Kingdom, the Tie Futu of the Jurchens, and the Jingsai Army of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, there is no so-called Jingsai Army in the Song Dynasty now.

The Jingsai Army has strong combat effectiveness, and the generals like to allocate Jingsai Army soldiers to their barracks to protect themselves. The Jingsai Army has been dismembered and disappeared into the long river of history.

After sending the letter, all Ouyang Bianneng did was to wait for the news first.

What Ouyang Bian has to do is that kind of east wind. As for everything, Li Bingchang must do it, or let Empress Dowager Liang do it.

Ouyang Bian did not expect Li Bingchang to succeed, but waited for Li Bingchang to fail.

That's right, you read it right.

Ouyang Bian was waiting for Li Bingchang to fail.

Ouyang Bian's judgment was not based on the failure of Li Bingchang in later generations, but on the current control of Liang Yi's siblings over the government.

Compared with history, Liang Yi buried his siblings and sisters' control over the government is more stable, because the opening of Lingzhou Free Trade Zone has benefited many nobles.

It’s useless to say something nice, and it’s useless to be justified. The key is the benefit.

Most nobles vote with their feet, and whoever can bring benefits to them will follow.

Liang Yimeng is a good person, and he did not take all the benefits of the Lingzhou Free Trade Zone. He gave it to the nobles in Lingzhou in the early stage, and later subcontracted it to Xihucheng Company to operate it. The benefits obtained were given to the nobles.

Moreover, the benefits obtained by the nobles are not just these. Their greater interests come from the retail of goods, which is the key interests.

When most of the nobles shared the interests of the Liang clan's rear party, the status of the Liang clan was quite stable.

The Imperial Party, that is, tribes that have no interests, are mostly remote tribes. Although they have strong combat power, their influence on the court is average.

The far water cannot save the near fire. Once the Liang siblings attack, Li Bingchang will still be in the jar.

Therefore, Li Bingchang will definitely fail.

But what Ouyang Bian wants is Li Bingchang's defeat, not Li Bingchang's victory.

Queen Mother Liang controlled Xixia. Since she was a Han Chinese and was interfering in politics in the harem, Xixia could not be unified from the outside world. Once Li Bingchang was promoted and his reputation was correct and obedient, then Xixia would inevitably become a major concern of the Song Dynasty, and Ouyang Bian would also be the first to be the brunt of Li Bingchang. Isn’t that just taking the mercy from the fire?

Ouyang Biancai doesn’t do such stupid things.
Chapter completed!
