Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Ziliang continued: "This time, I have decided to divide the troops into two groups, one by land and one by water.
I will lead the second, fourth, and fifth armies of my headquarters, as well as the Kimak Army and Pecheneg Army.
The army will attack from the front by land; by sea, the commander of the First Army Corps will attack by water.
Zhao Hu led the 1st, 6th, 7th, and 8th Corps, as well as the Oghuz Army, the Khwarezm Army, and the Kipchak Army on the east coast of the Caspian Sea to find places where docks and horses could be built to build docks and piers, build warships, etc.
After building enough warships, immediately board the ships and march towards the Khazar Khanate on the west coast of the Caspian Sea."
Zhao Hu stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, building docks and building warships requires experienced shipbuilding craftsmen.
Our Western Qin is located inland and does not yet have such talents.
If we need to find such talents, we must send people there.
Yangzhou may send people to the Great Food Country or to the Eastern Roman Empire to recruit.”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Yangzhou is too far away from here.
It takes a year to go back and forth.
I can't afford to wait for this matter and let's discuss it separately."
"Yes" Zhao Hu said and stepped aside.
Zhao Ziliang then said to Aba Khan, the leader of Khwarezm: "Aba Khan, the east coast of the Caspian Sea is your territory of Khwarezm.
If our army wants to build docks and build warships, we will need more of your efforts."
An Bahan quickly saluted and said: "As a landlord, Xiaohan will naturally do his best.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
This Huacizimo is not the former Huoxun Kingdom, but a branch that broke away from the Huoxun Kingdom.
The Huacizim people who stayed in the original territory have surrendered to the Western Qin, and the Western Qin now has a garrison on the ground of the original Huoxun Kingdom. .
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Well, the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Army, as well as the Kimak Army and the Pecheneg Army will set off with my king in three days."
Everyone stood up and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After everyone dispersed, Zhao Ziliang looked at Ma Lin and asked: "Ma Lin, how is the situation of the escort?"
Ma Lin stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Back to your Majesty, the situation of the escort army is normal, the morale of the generals and soldiers is strong, and the soldiers are eager to fight."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The original guard army has been reorganized into the Guards.
Although this guard army is newly formed, the generals and officers in the army are all warriors.
When you first take office, everything must be based on establishing prestige, otherwise you will not be able to Rule them" Ma Lin said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching.
I will keep it in mind in the future."
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at his son Zhao Lei and said: "Lei'er" Zhao Lei stood up, clasped his fists and leaned over to salute: "My child is here."
"My father brought you here mainly to familiarize you with battle formations.
Your martial arts are pretty good, but in terms of battle formations, you are much worse than your brother Ting'er.
My father plans to let you Become a captain in the Guards first, and then be promoted if you have merit, what do you think?"
Zhao Lei was about to agree, but Ma Lin said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to only let the eldest prince be a captain.
I heard that the eldest prince has made great achievements as an official in recent years.
Now he is a deputy doctor in Husi.
If Just letting him be a captain, wouldn't this send a signal to the outside world that the eldest prince has fallen out of favor?
The general will consider this to be extremely detrimental to the eldest prince's future future, and please think again."
The civil servant who was accompanying the army stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think General Ma Lin's words are quite reasonable.
Although Your Majesty has not yet considered and decided on the issue of establishing a crown prince, this matter is too sensitive after all.
Qin’s stability and unity are also detrimental, please be careful, Your Majesty.”
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ziliang said: "The military is different from the officialdom.
In the military, strength speaks for itself.
Although Zhao Lei's martial arts is good, he has no experience in commanding troops.
He has climbed too high all of a sudden.
If there is anything, The mistake not only harmed him, but also harmed the army he commanded.
Including this king, who in the army did not He climbed up step by step with his military exploits and commanding ability.

I have considered what you said, but I cannot protect him all his life.
After all, he has to grow up on his own and rely on himself.
Moreover, he already has two children.
My father is dead and I can no longer rely on the protection of my king.
This matter has been settled and no one needs to say anything more."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang talked about another thing, "Just now Zhao Hu mentioned the problem of not having skilled shipbuilding craftsmen.
I have also considered this matter.
It is impossible to send people to Yangzhou to search for it, and the Eastern Roman Empire is not possible."
The Sa people's ally, the Emperor Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire, was also the son-in-law of Khazar Khan Khabir.
If he wanted to send people to the Eastern Roman Empire to recruit shipwrights, he would most likely be attacked.
Interference, I still want to send people to the Dashi Kingdom.
Although we in Western Qin were once hostile to the Dashi Kingdom, this happened several years ago.
As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
Now we and the Khazar If we go to war, it is equivalent to indirectly opposing the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Dashi Kingdom will definitely be very happy about this.
If we seek their help, I think they will be very happy."
Chen Qing stood up and said: "Whatever the king has, I will agree with it."
Dugujun said: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Dashi Country have been in a hostile relationship for a long time.
They must have sent detailed operations within the Dashi Country.
If we send people to the Dashi Country to ask the Dashi Country to help recruit shipwrights, the Eastern Roman Empire's If you work carefully, you will definitely find out.
If the Eastern Roman Empire finds out, the Khazars will naturally find out.
If they pretend not to know and set up an ambush where my army lands, won't our army suffer disaster?"
The generals all laughed after hearing this.
Bai Xiaode smiled and said: "Sir Dugu, the two countries have always sent each other to investigate the military situation during the war.
The news may be true or false, and the speed of delivery also depends on it.
If the news is true and the news is obtained in time, The chance of winning is naturally higher.
If the news is true, but it is transmitted slowly, by the time the enemy gets the news, it will be too late to march and fight.
The two armies are facing each other.
When making moves, it all depends on who is more clever.
Is it because we are concerned about the possibility of getting information from the Eastern Roman Empire, but we don't do it?
This is definitely not possible for the big food country.
We are enemies with the Eastern Roman Empire, and they will definitely help us hide news or spread false news to the Eastern Roman Empire.
Master Dugu, don’t worry about this."
Dugujun is a good hand in handling government affairs, but he is not good at military affairs, so he does not understand and understand these things clearly.
Zhao Ziliang nodded, agreed with Bai Xiaode's statement, and asked: "Who will be sent to Dashi Country to handle this matter?"
Dugujun said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jihan once led an envoy to the Dashi Kingdom, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Frankish Kingdom.
I think this person can take on this important task."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, let's send Wang Jihan to lead a team to the Dashi Kingdom to handle this matter.
We must go back quickly."
"promise" On March 15th, Zhao Ziliang led the 2nd, 4th, and 5th troops as well as Kimak and Pecheneg troops, a total of 70,000 troops, and set out west from Aralsk on the north coast of the Aral Sea, while Zhao Hu led the 6th, 7th, and 7th troops.
The Eighth Army, the Oghuz Army, the Khwarizm Army and the Kipchak Army, a total of 30,000 troops, also set off subsequently.
The two armies were closely connected.
After marching for ten days, the two armies separated.
Zhao Hu led the Second Route Army to turn to the southwest.
Heading towards the east coast of the Caspian Sea.

Within ten days, Zhao Ziliang's army passed through the territory of the Ogus people and entered the territory of the Pecheneg people.
The home of the Pecheneg people is between the Volga River and the Ural.
There are large areas of pasture here with rich water and grass.
There is plenty of fodder for livestock, which is most suitable for grazing.
It used to belong to the Khazars, but after the rise of the Pechenegs, they drove away the Khazars and occupied this place.
Later, with the support of the Byzantine Empire, the Khazars gained a foothold on the northern shore of the Black Sea and established a khanate.
The relationship between the two countries gradually became closer, and eventually they were married for generations.
The Oghuz, the Khwarizmians, and the Kipchaks in the north are all eyeing the Pechenegs' territory.
They all want to drive the Pechenegs away and occupy this sacred land, but the Pechenegs Brave and brave, they can't succeed for a while.
The Khazars also often wanted to regain their lost territory, and wars often broke out between the two tribes, with each winning and losing.
The Pechenegs are not all nomads.
They are semi-nomadic, grazing and farming at the same time.
They purchased heavy armor from various places and formed a heavy armored cavalry, which became known as the heavy armored cavalry on the southern Russian grasslands.
Army, this army is not large in number, but its combat effectiveness is impressive.
After Zhao Ziliang led his army into the territory of the Pechenegs, he saw herds of cattle and sheep, tents, huts and wheat fields on the edge of the Ural River.
Zhao Ziliang did not feel strange that there were huts.
What surprised him was that Pechenegs The Cheneg people have actually begun to learn to farm.
Farming means a big step forward in civilization and they can rely on farming to support more people and livestock.
Near Atyrau in later generations, Zhao Ziliang led his army to a settlement of the Pecheneg people.
There were large wheat fields, houses, and tents.
Although the wheat did not grow well due to illegal farming, such a large area The wheat fields still surprised Zhao Ziliang.
"Your Majesty, this is where the Khan's tent is.
On behalf of the Pecheneg Zouzou headquarters, the Khan welcomes the King and his Majesty to come here as a guest.
The Khan has sent someone to inform his ministers that he has prepared wine and meat for the army.
Please enjoy it with the King and the warriors.
"Ba Dasi from Zou's headquarters said to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang stood on the top of the hillside and looked at the herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland below, as well as the houses and tents.
In the distance, the Ural River flowed through it like a white jade belt.
There was a vibrant scene everywhere.
No wonder the nomads in the surrounding area were there.
The tribes are all making plans here.
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Thank you Badasi Khan and the Pecheneg people from Zou headquarters for their hospitality.
I think we will get along very harmoniously, please."
"Your Majesty, please come first."
The army continued to set off and headed towards the sweat tent of Zou Benbu at the foot of the mountain.
The army soon arrived.
Countless herdsmen and farmers from Zou Benbu came out of their tents, huts and wooden houses in groups to watch the excitement
