Guo Hao left and took away ten thousand imperial guards.

There seems to be no difference between these ten thousand imperial guards, but what they bring is enough to change an era.

In the carriage, Ziyun was giving Guo Hao a massage, and Han Yu drove the carriage while being alert to the surroundings.

With the escorts of 10,000 imperial guards, Guo Hao was naturally very safe. He could meet some teams along the way, and they were all logistics troops transporting food.

"Master, Your Majesty said that the Western Regions are beautiful. Not only are there many delicious foods, but there are also many beauties. Have you ever been to the Western Regions?"

Guo Hao was in charge of the army, and Li Hui, who was the most escort, was worried. His two apprentices took the mission for the first time. He was afraid that something would happen, so he followed the team.

"No, I haven't been there, be careful and be careful around you!"

Han Yu and Li Hui are different. Li Hui is a taciturn person who follows Guo Hao and never talks much. He has developed a habit over the years.

Han Yu has a cheerful personality and has been with Ziyun since childhood. Although she is an orphan, she is not lonely.

At the beginning, Han Yu was also very reserved and did not dare to say anything in front of Guo Hao, for fear of making Guo Hao angry.

But gradually he realized that Guo Hao seemed not so scary, so he asked some things carefully, and Guo Hao would also answer some questions.

As his guard, he must protect himself with his life at the critical moment. And he is a young man, so Guo Hao has more patience. At the same time, someone seems to be good at speaking.

“It’s so boring!”

Han Yu ate at Li Hui and closed her mouth helplessly. After hearing this in the car, Guo Hao opened his eyes and smiled.

"Haha, if you ask your master this question, wouldn't you play the piano with a cow? He has never liked to chat, and it would be useless to ask if you ask."

Hearing Guo Hao's answer, Han Yu was a little flattered and hurriedly said, "I am rude and disturbed Your Majesty's rest. Please ask Your Majesty..."

"It's okay!"

Guo Hao waved his hand, sat up and straightened his waist. Although the carriage was wide and stable, it was OK, but the speed was too slow and he would be tired after sitting for a long time.

Ziyun saw Guo Hao get up and immediately put on his clothes. It was already mid-October and the colder it gets north. Although there is a warmer in the car, it can't hold it in the air.

"The Yellow River is far away among the white clouds, and there is an isolated city of thousands of feet high mountains. Why should Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not cross Yumen Pass.

To be honest, this Western Regions is actually a really good place. The mountains there are very high, the sky is blue, and the water is very clear. It is the most sacred place in the world.

Do you know Kunlun Mountain, the legendary place where the gods live, and the ancient Loulan Kingdom, which is where the beauties come from, they are all in the Western Regions..."

As Guo Hao told him, the few people began to imagine that they were already full of fear of unknown places, but after Guo Hao said this, they were immediately full of yearning.

"You should all know the new place names of the Song Dynasty. The largest area is the province, and I will also turn the Western Regions into a province in the Song Dynasty!

The Western Regions are a pearl and a piece of precious jade. They are the new territory of the Song Dynasty and were once the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Now that the hometown has returned to new ground, I decided to call it Xinjiang, so this time we only allow us to win but not lose, otherwise I will have the name Bai Qi!"

Guo Hao seemed to be joking, but in fact he expressed his determination this time. Guo Hao kept thinking about why Zhao Kuangyin was sick. Later, he saw himself in the mirror and seemed to understand.

Thirty-six years have passed since ancient times. Now, to outsiders, he is already an old man in his fifties, so it is no exaggeration to call him this.

The ancients had short lifespans, which is well known. Moreover, Guo Hao has actually become a grandfather, but his grandsons are now on the border.

Zhao Kuangyin is two years older than Guo Hao, and in history he has only lived in his fifties, so his sudden illness is probably a disaster in his life.

With Guo Hao's appearance, there will naturally be no "candle shadow and axe sound". Zhao Guangyi is far away from the northwest and will not harm his brother.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's illness is probably really a problem, but he doesn't feel it himself and the doctor has not found it. Youdao is connected to the heart and brain, and Guo Hao guessed that there is a problem with his brain.

Without Zhao Kuangyin's assistance, Guo Hao was still a little uncomfortable for a moment. After all, he was the real emperor in history, and Guo Hao would consult his advice for some things.

The team continued to move forward, and the troops in the west had already assembled and were automatically deployed to prevent Tubo's sneak attack.

At the command center of the Western Army’s camp, Li Jilong stood in front of the sand table and was telling several generals about the terrain and the possible route of the enemy’s army this time.

Yang Ye, Li Jixun, Liu Tingrang and Zhao Guangyi are the senior commanders of this battle, all at the commander level.

The students of the Military Academy have now become political commissars or staff officers in the army. Among them, Li Jilong, as the head of the instructor and the son-in-law, became the general staff officer.

After three years of running-in, the soldiers have adapted to the new system. What Li Jilong is talking about now is not his own idea, but the conclusion discussed by the Northwest General Staff.

A complete military system is also one of the reasons why Guo Hao is confident of winning the battle. In addition to full preparation, what Li Jilong is most looking forward to now is Guo Hao's arrival.

Because Guo Hao brought a rifle army!

"Everyone, your Majesty's purpose this time must be very clear. Your Majesty has been planning for the Western Regions for a long time and has been waiting for an opportunity.

This battle will directly affect the future strategy against Liao. We don’t have to worry about the Liao army. We just need to take the initiative to attack and go straight to the hinterland of the Western Regions!

Qinghai has long clouds and snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed. We have been in the northwest for so long, and it is finally time to end!"

After Li Jilong finished speaking, the four main generals focused their heads, and their clenched fists represented their determination.

When Li Jilong returned to his residence, Guo Yanhan came up with the child in his arms and asked with concern: "Father, come soon. Can we go back to Bianliang this time?"

Li Jilong stopped hearing this and nodded immediately. In fact, he didn't want to go back, but he couldn't bear it when he saw his wife and children suffering with him.

"Yes! As long as the Western Regions are conquered, the father will inevitably re-adapt. Not only the two of us, but also Wei Zheng and the two emperor brothers, the father should consider it."

I have to say that Guo Hao is definitely the most bizarre emperor in history, and he placed his son, daughter, son-in-law, grandson on the border.

In addition to training them, Guo Hao did this, which was to show his attention to the border and comfort the soldiers on the frontier.

If possible, Guo Hao would have wanted to move the capital to Youzhou long ago, but the time is not yet ripe, but he did not forget that sentence.

The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country!

So Guo Hao couldn't go, so he sent his children there. Doing so would not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also reduce disputes.

In the North Frontier Camp, Guo Zhiyao and Pan Mei were drinking. They naturally received news about the Khitan's actions this time.

Compared with three years ago, Guo Zhiyao has become much more calm, but this is the first time he has experienced such a big move, and he can't help feeling a little nervous.

"Commander Pan, do you think Liao will attack us this time? I always feel that Liao is coming this time."

Seeing that Guo Zhiyao was a little nervous, Pan Mei didn't care and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Liao Kingdom will not come this time. That 100,000 army is just a cover, and the real battlefield is in the Western Regions!"

"That's right, who knows whether Yelu Xian will change his mind? He knows the truth that he never gets tired of deceitful soldiers. What if they come!"

"Come on, your Majesty has made arrangements. We now have 200,000 troops, and we use the Great Wall as a natural danger. Are you afraid that we can't defend the Khitan?"

Yes, what Guo Zhiyao thought of was, how could Guo Hao not think of it?

Even if the Liao Kingdom wants to start a war, it must first pacify the Western Regions. Now it is not the time to go to war with the Liao Kingdom, so you can only defend if you fight.

Guo Hao's intentions were very obvious. Generals such as Pan Mei understood that the Liao Kingdom was very powerful and far from comparable to those of the small countries in the Western Regions.

With the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to fight to Shangjing, but the Khitan is a nomadic people and can run away if they can't beat them.

If you cannot hurt the Khitan seriously, you will be harassed by it all the time. The Huns of the Qin and Han Dynasties are examples, the Ming Dynasty was also harassed by the Mongols and Yuan dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty were Junggars and other places.

Fighting is to beat it, and whether it can be defeated or not is the key, and the rule after being defeated is also a problem. With such a large territory of the Liao Kingdom, how many Han people need to assimilate them.
