Chapter 898: Zhu Youlang increases troops in the Western Regions to seek the moon
Now Liu Xingming is exhausted and very weak.
He was lying on the bed and was fed medicine by his side.
After Li Dingguo took Li Laiheng into the house in a hurry, he took a deep breath when he saw this scene.
Liu Xingming lost weight, his face was also pale, and his lips were even pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness.
Li Dingguo had never seen Liu Xingming so weak, and his heart was as if he was stirred by a knife.
"Xingming, you have worked hard all the way."
Li Dingguo walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, regardless of his majesty.
At this moment, he just wanted to appease Liu Xingming as much as possible.
"His Highness of King Jin, King Jin, Shu Mo, will not be able to stand up and salute."
Liu Xingming rushed back to the Western Regions from Isfahan, and he could be said to have traveled day and night without stopping.
Although the time is fast, the energy consumption is also very huge. I don’t know how many horses have died from running.
In other words, Liu Xingming has a good foundation, otherwise he might not be able to withstand such troubles.
Li Dingguo held Liu Xingming's hand and said, "Xingming, what kind of courtesy do you still get up? Don't you know what kind of person you are? You are a hero of the Ming Dynasty. I must write a memorial to submit it to His Majesty the Emperor to ask for rewards for you."
"Your Highness the King of Jin is so serious. These are all the things that the general should do. Besides, the general has only sent a mission, so it is not certain whether he can accomplish anything."
Liu Xingming said while coughing.
"Haha, there is no way you can do something that Liu Xingming can do. I am very confident in you."
Li Dingguo smiled and said, "How is it? Did the Persian emperor agree to form an alliance this time?"
Liu Xingming nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, the Persian emperor has agreed to cooperate with us."
"good!"
Although he had already been mentally prepared, Li Dingguo was still very excited after he learned the news from Liu Xingming.
Because he knew very well that this was a very critical step for the Ming Dynasty to open up the Silk Road.
As long as the Persians were willing to cooperate, the Ming army now only faced with the Ottomans.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had only one province left and could be reborn in Nirvana.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is strong, with a powerful ally like Persia, how could it be impossible to win?
If he had not had to submit the emperor's decree, Li Dingguo would now want to send troops to Samarkand.
But this is also good. The waiting time allows Liu Xingming to take good care of his health.
After all, Li Dingguo did not want Liu Xingming to miss such an important war.
"Xingming, you have really made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Don't think about anything now, just treat me honestly. I will report this alliance to the court. It will take several months to go back and forth, and your body should be well maintained."
Liu Xingming was moved and tears filled his eyes when he heard this.
Although Li Dingguo had beaten him once before, it was because Liu Xing knew that he was not good at it, and Li Dingguo had to beat him.
Beating is a kiss, scolding is love.
Li Dingguo's love for him could be felt by Liu Xingming.
It can be said that except for Liu Tichun, Li Dingguo is like Liu Xingming's second father.
Liu Xingming never blamed Li Dingguo, but instead recognized Li Dingguo from the bottom of his heart and wanted to fight for Li Dingguo's face.
Now he really did it. Looking at Li Dingguo's happy smile on his face, Liu Xingming felt sincerely happy.
It’s like the child is promising and has not disappointed the old father.
"Please rest assured that your Highness, King Jin, I will definitely work hard to maintain my body."
"Well, I won't disturb you from resting like this."
After saying that, Li Dingguo patted Liu Xingming again, then got up and walked out of the house.
Li Laiheng also followed.
After leaving the house, Li Dingguo sighed: "I didn't expect that your Majesty had come to this point, but he had already reached this point. I really admire him."
Li Laiheng also continued: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. However, the ability of our Ming army to restore the Western Regions is also the due contribution of His Highness the King of Jin to command properly."
Li Laiheng flattered the two of them with one sentence, which made Li Dingguo laugh and cry.
But I have to say that the person he photographed was still very comfortable.
"I will now order someone to send a letter to the capital to tell the Emperor about such good news. I believe that His Majesty will be happy after receiving the news."
Li Dingguo knew the emperor very well. Opening the Silk Road is the last knot in the emperor's heart. As long as this knot is untied, everything will be solved.
"Report, urgent report from the Western Regions!"
Capital, Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.
In the warm pavilion, Zhu Youlang was guiding the prince Zhu Cixuan to study, and Han Miao suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhu Youlang was stunned for a moment and then said, "Report from the Western Regions?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it is indeed a report from the Western Regions."
When the Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father, why don't you, please step down."
Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "No need, the prince just stay and listen. You have to decide on this matter in the future and learn more."
Zhu Cixuan hurriedly said yes.
"Come on."
Zhu Youlang took the report from Han Miao and opened it to read it.
After only looking at the beginning, Zhu Youlang knew the meaning of the report and smiled and said with a happy smile: "The Persians promised to form an alliance with us, and there is hope for the Silk Road to be opened."
After saying that, he handed the memorial to Zhu Cixuan.
The prince quickly looked at it again, and after reading it, he said happily: "Congratulations to Father, congratulations to Father."
Zhu Youlang was in a very happy mood.
It took him at least two years to plan this day. At first he was worried that the Persians would have concerns, but now it seems that the Persians obviously hope to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.
After all, compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans were their real mortal enemies.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and at this point the Ming Dynasty and Persia can trust each other.
It seems that there is no problem in judging Zhu Youlang's general direction.
"In the report, the King of Jin mentioned that he hoped that I would send additional troops to the Western Regions. What does the prince think?"
In fact, Zhu Youlang mainly wanted to test Zhu Cixuan's decisive ability.
He actually had a scheming in his mind.
The Western Regions have just been restored, and their foundations are not yet stable.
At this time, Li Dingguo sent troops to Hezhong and stationed troops in Samarkand, and the Western Regions would inevitably be empty.
His request to the court to send additional troops to the Western Regions should be due to this consideration.
It can be said that Li Dingguo has a very meticulous mind.
"I think it's feasible."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Cixuan replied without hesitation: "Only when the Western Regions are stable, the King of Jin can be without worries in the river. Only when the King of Jin has no worries can he defeat the Ottoman army. In this way, the Silk Road can be completely opened."
After hearing this, Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction and said, "The prince has really grown up. I will issue an order to send 200,000 more troops to the Western Regions to garrison."
