"President Xue."

"The grass people are here!"

"Continue to sell silk to the Great Food Kingdom, how much does it sell?"

"yes!"

"By the way, I'm on a mission to make a big meal for me, how about it?"

Xue Donglai was slightly stunned and said, "It is a great honor for the people to be able to do things for Your Majesty."

"Dashi had just fought a war with Liao. The king of Dashi hated Yelu Dashi to his bones. If you go with my sincerity, you will say that Yelu Dashi is doing something wrong and is willing to conquer Liao with Dashi."

Zhao Huan said again: "Don't worry, I will send experts to protect your safety."

"yes!"

"I will not treat you badly after completing this task."

After seeing Xue Donglai, Zhao Huan no longer stayed in Chang'an for a long time.

He led the Imperial Guards and headed northwest.

About half a month later, the army left Yumen Pass and arrived in the Western Regions.

The emperor came here in person, and the battles in the Western Regions were densely covered with clouds.

Every day and night, there is a constant stream of food transported from the Central Plains and Jiangnan, as well as further south to the Western Regions frontline.

One hundred thousand imperial guards arrived in Gaochang City in early May.

The northwest prefectures have drawn a large number of elite troops to advance westward.

Wu Jie, the governor of the Left Army, already has five major legions, each of which has 40,000 elite troops and a total force of 200,000.

Yue Fei, the governor of the Right Army, had a force of up to 320,000 and had eight armies.

The three armies together have 620,000, known as one million troops.

There is also Beifu, and the He routine serves as the rear grain supply.

According to incomplete statistics from the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, as many as five million people participated in the logistics construction during this Western Expedition.

Of course, this number is exaggerated.

They will also count the migrant workers who built railways from Chang'an City to Xingqing Prefecture, and then to Dunhuang.

This is actually controversial, and the actions of these migrant workers have indeed contributed to the Western Expedition.

But strictly speaking, it is considered the daily construction expenses of the Political Affairs Hall and local governments.

In the words of the Three Sessions envoys Zhou Dynasty, officials from all over the country reported this, obviously trying to cover up the local extravagant and wasteful behavior.

Part of the expenses were forcibly tied to support from the Western Expedition, so that the central court could temporarily ask for money.

In any case, the scale of this logistics mobilization is unprecedented.

This also shows the emperor's determination.

On the way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, every time you pass by a prefecture or highway, you can see some people sending off soldiers to the north.

This is already an era of pride in serving the country.

The mother was giving her son a food on the road, and the father didn't forget to educate the little bastard who liked to make trouble in front of him.

The girl at the village head also planted trees. When her sweetheart came back, she would smell the flowers and enjoy the moon together with her subordinates.

On the big road from Chang'an to Xingqing Mansion, you can see teams of uniformed soldiers everywhere.

Some of them were reserves and wanted to gather in Dunhuang.

Some serve as logistics forces to share the important task of mobilizing food from various state prefectures.

I heard that this time, the emperor was determined to avenge Marshal Zongze, and the young men from all over the army also shared the same hatred for the enemy.

On the first day Zhao Huan arrived in Gaochang, all officials from all walks of life came to pay their respects.

For a time, the morale of Song troops from all walks of life in the Western Regions was greatly boosted.

The spy had run away to death several horses and sent the news that the Song Dynasty emperor arrived in the Western Regions to the palace.

The Song Dynasty continued to send troops, and even now the emperor himself led the imperial guards to come in person, which undoubtedly put great pressure on the Liao Kingdom.

Back then, Dangxiang was destroyed by the Imperial Guard of the Emperor of Song.

This is something Li Qianshun will never forget for his life.

Two factions were immediately divided into the court of Liao Kingdom, one was the leader of harmony and the other was the leader of war.

The peacemakers felt that the main purpose of the Song State gathering a large-scale army and urging its troops to advance westward was not to destroy the newly born Liao Kingdom, but to demonstrate the military power of the Celestial Kingdom.

At present, the Great Liao had just finished a battle with the Dashi Kingdom in the west. Although he won, there were casualties, which required time to adjust.

Moreover, the troops on the Western Front of Dashi have not yet retreated. If the war begins on the eastern front, the troops on the Great Sea will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

If you are attacked by two lines, you will undoubtedly lose.

If we rashly start a war with the State of Song now, it will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction.

The pro-war faction criticized the pro-he faction as a traitor of Liao!

According to the front military newspaper, the Emperor of Song mobilized millions of troops to advance westward, and his intention to destroy Liao was obvious.

If you don't meet the battle, there is only a dead end.

On this day, Yelu Dashi inspected his military weapon surveillance.

The manufacturing of firearms in the Liao Kingdom has been put on the agenda, and based on the experience of the Song Dynasty, it is very fast.

This confirms the saying: From nothing to something is 100,000 times more difficult than from one to ten thousand. The former is a doubt about the direction and whether the future exists, while the latter only solves the problem of standardization.

Yelu Dashi has currently had 3,000 muskets and has created 100 cannons, with more than a thousand thunders.

The swords, guns, shields and armor of the Liao Kingdom are all being updated.

As long as Yelu Dashi is given another three years, the Liao Kingdom's military and combat effectiveness will be completely renewed.

But Zhao Huan obviously noticed something. He ignored the risks of instability in the country and launched a Western Expedition, just to take advantage of the current situation to want Yelu Dashi's life.

Looking at the people working in the military weapon prison and those new things (mechanicals), Yelu Dashi felt heavy in his heart.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, which had a vast land and vast resources, and without huge economic scale to support it, Yelu Dashi's money was limited.

Looking at his emperor's frowning, Xiao Hanli said angrily: "Your Majesty, as long as you give orders, I will lead the 18 tribes of the seven prefectures to fight Song Gou to the death, and no one will retreat!"

Yelu Dashi remained silent.

Xiao Hanli stabbed: "Your Majesty, we will defeat the army of 100,000 with 100,000. The men can take one as ten. Now our Daliao has 300,000 mercenaries! Why fear the dog emperor's army of 100,000!"

Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly and said, "The State of Song is different from the State of Dashi. We use 10,000 troops to defeat the State of Dashi, but we must not face the Song army."

"What can't be done! Our army has both firearms and artillery!"

Xiao Hanli's thorn is like a lion, giving people a feeling of explosive power all over his body.

"I know your intention." Yelu Dashi sighed. Xiao Hanli's sting was definitely not a reckless man. He said these words just to express his determination and carry the banner.

This is indeed needed at this time.

But Yelu Dashi was indeed not sure about the head-on fight.

Only by wisdom.

"I will never compromise with Zhao Huan!" Yelu Dashi's tone was strong, "It is not appropriate to send troops now, but we must also be prepared to send troops at any time!"

He continued: "I want a letter to Zhao Huan."

"I wonder what Your Majesty wants to say to Emperor Song?"

Yelu Dashi said lightly: "Make peace, pay tribute, and pay tribute."

As soon as he said this, all the generals were shocked.

"No, the former emperor Tianzuo was incompetent and incompetent, which ruined the country, and led to the Jurchen barbarians. At that time, Your Majesty led more than a hundred people to go down. We went through a lot of hardships with Your Majesty, and the soldiers were in the blood of the battlefield, which led to the current situation. We must not pay tribute to the dog emperor!"

"Just listen to me, saying that calling the minister is just a temporary solution. Now the Song army is taking the reason for Zong Ze to avenge his revenge and his morale is greatly boosted. It is a time when we share the same hatred of the enemy. Our army must not be shaken by."

Yelu Dashi looked calm and his tone was calm. Even though the pressure in his heart was as heavy as Mount Tai, his face remained unchanged.

"The million-dollar army of Song State is set up on the front line, and the logistics requirements are very high. Once it takes a long time, it will be wiped out and you will collapse without fighting."

"So, the best way for us now is to procrastinate!"

Yelu Dashi's words made the generals nod.

"Making peace and sanctions are to relieve the anger of the Song army. As the saying goes, a man can still splatter blood when he is angry. When the anger is relieved, his morale will naturally ease."

Xiao Hanli stabbed: "But this still cannot stop the Song army from attacking our army."
