Wang Yun's idea of ​​using the barbarians to control the barbarians has always been Wang Yun's idea. Of course, he also followed Zhao Zhen's pace to advocate that the Song Dynasty completely enter the grassland. However, his idea was to use the Bell cavalry to restrain the outside of the Khitans or the Wugu Bili Lie Army Command. Although they are all the territory of the Song Dynasty, they have nothing to do with each other. Restraining each other should also be a way of checks and balances.

Zhao Zhen actually disliked this method of using barbarians to control barbarians. It was probably because of the emperor that he liked absolute control. Under absolute control, he would appropriately relax some policies, but all the foundations must be in the hands of the Song Dynasty.

The basis here is the army. If the army cannot even control it at will, there will be no restraint or other things. Everything is a castle in the air.

The reason why they are still using their army to prepare for the Song Dynasty to guard the border in the future. Zhao Zhen hopes to expand the power of guarding the border, but he does not use the power of the Song Dynasty itself much.

This is a slightly unfair treatment, but this world is unfair. The future border guarding place for the grassland tribes is not the current grassland, but the farthest northwest.

Taking the grassland land north is Lake Baikal and the cold Siberia. In this era, Zhao Zhen did not have to worry about any more invaders in the north, because by then the north of the Song Dynasty would be a barren land.

As for the west, it was a powerful Seljuk Empire. Zhao Zhen would ensure the stability of the national border at any time, and Tubo on the plateau had not taken action yet, but sooner or later, the Song Dynasty would take down that piece of land.

In Zhao Zhen's mind, the plateau is a part of China from beginning to end and an inseparable part. Even if the plateau people cannot live in the Central Plains and people in the Central Plains cannot go up there, there is no land that must be taken.

It is not bad to use barbarians to control barbarians. Zhao Zhen felt a little artificial and moral in his heart. This is not the style that a big country should have. He either directly takes over the power and directly mobilizes their young and strong people to guard the border, or migrates away and leaves their hometown.

He also had to use other soldiers to guard another family, and he had to pick himself out, which felt like he was still standing a archway after he was used as a literati. It was probably because the things in the minds of literati were used to the fullest and bright surface!

But the more this happens, the more disgusting it will make people feel. They are not all fools. Can’t you see this trick? At this time, power began to play a role. It would be fine when the Song Dynasty was strong, but if one day an unpredictable situation occurred, perhaps a hundred years or a thousand years later, this method of using barbarians to control barbarians will become a catalyst for a major change.

However, Zhao Zhen did not stop Wang Yun. He hoped to see how powerful the Bell Army was and whether it could be used by the Song Dynasty in the future. It was not a simple matter to garrison the border. In this era, there was no border line drawn on the map. Every inch of land needed to be confirmed and protected.

Soon, a quick handicap with bright red flags appeared at the end of the grassland. This was a messenger who reported the victory. If the "deal failed" or there was an emergency military situation, the white edict behind the knight would be inserted.

The knight's speed is very fast, but it is very slow in the eyes of Zhao Zhen and Wang Yun. After all, it is completely different from seeing the horses on the grassland.

Since I have seen the red flag, it means that the Bell army successfully intercepted the Khitan robbery team this time and beheaded a lot. Otherwise, such a red flag would be a bit arrogant...

The army of the Song Dynasty had not used such a red flag for a long time. In the hearts of the generals of the Song army, ordinary victory was not enough to show off as a great victory. Success and great victory were completely different.

It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. This is true. The generals have also started to compete for things like face, but their methods are a bit unpredictable. In the past, they have compared military merits. Whoever has more military merits is considered to be powerful, but now they are competing for who doesn’t care……

The good news of the red flag appeared in Wang Yun's opinion was already a big victory, which shows that the Bell army was very successful in blocking the Khitans this time, and many beheadings and killing enemies.

After all, Wang He, the one-armed Sima, is famous for being strict in the army and is also famous for being unkind. It must be a great victory for him, a civil servant, to describe this blockade as a great victory.

Sure enough, when the horse's knight was about to arrive at the city gate, he began to wave the red flag and shouted: "The Bell Army had a great victory, beheaded 30,000, and captured it invincible, and severely damaged the Khitan Army going south!!"

As he said, the soldiers at the city gate repeated, and the voices spread loudly throughout Hulunbuir City: "The Bell Army had a great victory, beheaded 30,000, and captured it invincible, which severely damaged the Khitan Army going south!!"

After a very short silence, excited howls and cheers rang out in Hulunbuir City. This was the first battle of their Tatar tribe after returning to Song Dynasty, and it was also a great victory. How could they not be ecstatic and proud?

This was a great victory for the Bell Army and a great victory for the Tatar tribe. The people in the city were cheering for the victory of their tribe warriors, but soon the cheers began to appear as the voices of Long Live the Song Dynasty and Long Live His Majesty.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Bell Army won this victory is inseparable from the Song Dynasty. Without the armor and sharp blades of the Song Dynasty, and without the training of the Song Dynasty soldiers, the Bell Army would not be the opponent of the Khitans.

They themselves knew this. Over the years, they had been suppressed by the Khitans. It was not until the emergence of the Song Dynasty that they changed and had the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Zhao Zhen on the city wall wanted this effect. It is true that the Bell Army was the cavalry of the Tatar tribe, but it was necessary to fundamentally make them become the cavalry of the Song Dynasty. First, the most basic concept of the Song Dynasty was needed, and then the idea of ​​the Tatar tribe was found.

Just like in later generations, when I open my mouth, I can only say "I am a Chinese" before I can express the statement that I am a Han person. This seems simple, but it requires a long period of continuous consolidation and strengthening.

Zhao Zhen pointed to the west and turned to Wang Yun and said, "Have you heard from Yang Huaiyu yet? I have clearly said that I have reported every three days and read the books in five days. Why is the news so slow now?"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly and bowed, "Official family, Yang Huaiyu has just left Wugu Mountain for three days. News should be heard soon. He followed the instructions of his ministers and joined the envoy of the Budu League..."
