"The time to unify the world?" Chen Xuan repeated thoughtfully.*1*1*

"That's right," Zhang Shanfu took a step forward. "The march plan has been done, and the Liao and Song dynasties have reached a stalemate in Ezhou. Just wait a while, both sides are exhausted. Fangzhou's strange troops emerged and fought together with the Song army to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop." He paused, looked at the other people and said meaningfully, "Luoyang is actually within reach. Guanzhong recruited 200,000 troops, and infantry and cavalry advance together, which can cut off the Liao army's retreat in one fell swoop. After destroying the Liao army with the Song army, the infantry and cavalry army turned south, and the Shu army flowed down the Yangtze River, attacked the south of the Yangtze River, and unified the Han people's country."

After Zhang Shanfu finished speaking, General Xie Yuan said: "The granaries of the logistics department in Guanzhong can provide 30-day rations for 600,000 troops. Shu marched southeast, with a river as a way to supply military supplies, and Fuhai Travel summoned local grain merchants to supply military supplies. The situation was even better than in the north. After the war broke out, you can buy military supplies from the Chang'an market. I estimate that in just half a month, you can raise another half a year of military supplies. After capturing the Song Dynasty, you can also collect military supplies on the spot. The Khitans in Liao Kingdom took them from Daqi Farm Ranch in Hebei, Henan and Hebei, and they could just take much food to help the hungry people."

"Because of food in Song, we have to take care of the people's hearts and minds," Zhang Shanfu frowned, "It should be feasible at the beginning. After all, we formed an alliance with Song at the beginning to deal with the Liao Kingdom. However, if we go to war with the Song Dynasty," his eyes turned to Wu Ting, general of the Military Information Department.

"The people of Guandong are still a little nostalgic about the Song Dynasty." Wu Ting also said, "But the Liao and Song dynasties fought for a whole year, and now the lives of Henan and Hebei are suffering. When our army arrived, the people in the north were unquestioned. However, in the southeast, there are still scholars from the Li Society, as well as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, which may be difficult to clean up in a short period of time." He hesitated for a moment, without mentioning "Zhao Xingde" and "Baoyi Army", and continued, "The southeast water network of Song State is densely populated. Judging from the battles of Liao State's attack on Song, if the Southeast Song army is solved, it is probably necessary to solve the Southeast Song army. But now our navy only has a few gunships."

"The war may last for a long time," Chen Xuan whispered, his face turned to Liu Yi, "What do the Prime Minister thinks about the current situation?"

Liu Yi was silent for a while and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I once marched in the river and lived in a farmhouse. The grandparents of this family moved from Guanzhong to Hezhong in the 29th year of Weiyuan." Zhang Shanfu heard Liu Yi suddenly turn the topic and mention the river. His face changed slightly. Liu Yi shook his head and continued: "The 29th year of Weiyuan was the first time to quell the rebellion. In the chaotic times, he used heavy punishments to 'accus the traitors and plagues' of the riots'. There were few Han people in the river. After the chaos, there were many diseases everywhere. From time to time, there were escaping rebels and horse thieves. The wilderness is comparable to the northern border. When encountering diseases and famines, it is impossible to get relief and care like Guanzhong. The family gave birth to five children and four daughters in a row, and only three survived. Two or three generations came down, and they were struggling to lay their roots in the river."

Chen Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and Xie Yuan and Wu Ting were also thinking.

Liu Yi stood up and said, "Why? Since the founding of the Kingdom, generations of people have moved from Guanzhong and Shu to the river from thousands of miles away, willing to risk being killed by rioters and plunder to cultivate borders. Only then have five million Han people in the river today. Throughout the dynasties, immigration to the border is a national policy. However, in the end, it is often the anger of heaven and people. Immigration to the border is often a resentful approach. Why can the only one of our dynasties be able to do so? Why?" He glanced over the faces of everyone in the house and replied, "Why? Since the beginning of the Weiyuan dynasty, our dynasty has used swords as a

Only by protecting our people can we trust the court, crossing mountains and ridges, and going to the wilderness." He paused, "Our court is in the river and has been expanding its territory in the northern border. The people trust the sword of the court. This is the foundation. The enemy kills the people on our border, so that our court can become a swearing situation. If we sit ignorant and even wind with Di Yixu, we will lose the hearts of the people in the river and destroy the foundation!" He raised his voice, "I think the sultanate of Roma must not tolerate it, and we should send troops to attack as soon as possible!"

After Liu Yi finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment. Zhang Shanfu's eyes were a little regretful, but he did not refute. The lieutenants outside were waiting in the meeting hall. Yang Ren had returned to Guanzhong. In the meeting hall, Kang Deming's voice was loud: "Those who violate the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away! The bandits killed the people in the river. If they do not attack immediately, they will return blood to blood. What is the use of the people to support the soldiers?" Many lieutenants also echoed loudly: "It's time to fight!" "War when fighting!"

Chen Xuan nodded and asked Xie Yuan: "Can the military supplies hoarded in Guanzhong be used for Ruohe??"

Xie Yuan frowned and pondered: "If you want to attack Rom Sultan, you can recruit soldiers from Hezhong to form a large army to attack. From Kucha, Shule, and Khotan, cavalry to help, Tianshan purchase livestock from north to south to make jerky meat for the market in Hezhong to stabilize the rising grain prices. The military supplies hoarded in Guanzhong will follow the caravan to send some to the north and south of Tianshan Road."

He subconsciously took out a small book with his own, opened a page, and recorded the numbers in small fly heads. He continued, "The Lumei Kingdom repeatedly attacked the Sultan of Rom and often retreated because of the food exhaustion. Before the local area could collect enough food and fodder, the logistics department must maintain the transportation of food and fodder from Guanzhong. Most of the military supplies stored in the river were beef and mutton, lard, fried noodles, and peanuts. Each soldier only needs one pound of military food a day, plus ammunition, at least more than 200,000 pounds. Although the forage is easier to collect from the local area, at least tens of thousands of war horses must be guaranteed, which is 300,000 pounds of food and fodder every day. The 500,000 pounds of food and fodder must be transported from the hinterland of the river. We try to transport water through the river canals. Once we go to land, we will always

A station is set up for sixty miles, and five double-horse carts are required to be used between the stations. The daily wages of the driver's carriage are one pound, and a horse eats five pounds of grain, which is eleven pounds. Each station consumes more than 5,000 kilograms of grain and fodder every day. These must be added to the transportation volume of the stations in front. This is not the fodder consumed by the cavalry needed to protect the conveying line," Xie Yuan paused, glanced at the book, and then said, "The further the conveying line on the land is advanced, the more grain is needed to maintain the conveying. More than two thousand miles, the food and fodder may exceed the supply army itself. Therefore, after the army entered the Roma Sultanate, the marching department should still collect food and grass locally as soon as possible."

"If you want to collect military supplies on the spot," Wu Ting nodded, "in addition to taking it from the enemy, you can buy it from Lumei with gold." He paused and added, "The grain ship was taken by water, and the country of Lumei was sent to Zhenxi Fort, and we then transport it from Zhenxi Fort to the south to the army."

"Didn't Lu Mei besieged the Sultan of Rom?" Zhang Shanfu asked with a frown.

"Yes, but," Wu Jian shook his head and smiled, "It's easy to use gold, and the princes of Lumei Kingdom and Dashi are unclear."

"What the Prime Minister said is good," Zhang Shanfu also stood up and faced Liu Yi. "The battle between the Song and Liao countries has reached the last moment. Our country has been established for a hundred years. We have been waiting for this blow to win the two tigers. Your Majesty," he turned to Chen Xuan, "Now the Liao army invaded south, Bianliang fell, the throne of Zhao Qi in Guandong is still unstable, and more than 60 million people are under the blade. Our army is advancing eastward, and unification of the world is just around the corner. This opportunity must not be let go in vain?"

Liu Yi and Zhang Shanfu were the leaders of Chinese civil and military affairs in the court. They had different opinions, and neither Xie Yuan nor Wu Ting spoke. The lieutenant of the outside meeting hall was getting louder and louder. The hut became quiet, and the eyes of the four important officials of the court looked at His Majesty.

Chen Xuan nodded, shook his head again, and slowly said, "The Prime Minister said it well. The people in the river are the people of my Daxia. If we don't even take good care of our own people, what qualifications do we have to talk about unifying the world?" His eyes turned to a map of the river, Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Northern Xinjiang, Song and Liao, Luosi, and Lumei, saying word by word, "The people of Xia are the foundation of the founding of the Great Xia."

Chen Xuan bowed to the ministers: "The captains are pillars of the country, so they can't wait for a long time, so let's go out." He stood up and said to the ministers in the house, "It's better to solve the threat of the Roma Turks first and stabilize the river. As for the war in the east," he looked at Zhang Shanfu, "In my opinion, it's better to be stable first, and not let the Liao Kingdom be as big as the Roma Turks. When we clean up the west, then turn to the east."

Zhang Shanfu sighed slightly. Although the lieutenant of the Huguo Mansion decided to decide the country, the Prime Minister, the generals, especially His Majesty himself, had a great influence on the lieutenant of the Huguo Mansion. Hezhong is located in the four battles, and the lieutenant of the Hezhong is particularly sensitive to the invasion of Diyi. Although the sultan of Roma besieged Xiliuzhou and killed hundreds of people was sure that it was the Sultan's younger brother who was abdicating, as long as the Sultan did not send all the murderers, including his brother, to apologize, the lieutenant of the Hezhong will never give up. On this issue, the Northern Xinjiang school

The wise men have always stood with Hezhong. If His Majesty had not come forward to persuade these lieutenants, the Guardian Government would have immediately passed the resolution to attack the sultan of Roma. The sultan of Roma is the common ruler of the princes of the Great Food. If the war is not started, it will be done. Once the war begins, it will be necessary to kill him. Being attacked from both sides is a taboo of military strategists. In this way, it will be impossible for Guandong to mobilize more than 200,000 troops to carry out the Liao and Song dynasties. Only through limited forces can we maintain the situation of the battle between the Liao and Song dynasties. After the war in the west is over, we will then advance eastward.

While pondering, Zhang Shanfu suddenly felt that someone had slapped his shoulder from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was Prime Minister Liu Yi.
