The military parade at the founding ceremony of the Western Qin Kingdom made nearly 100,000 people watch it and cheered non-stop.
It also shocked all the foreign kings and envoys who came to watch the ceremony.
This forced all countries to re-evaluate the Western Qin Dynasty.
The strength of the kingdom.
After the celebration, the kings and envoys of various countries returned one after another, and the people who came from all over the Western Qin Dynasty to watch the ceremony also began to return.
However, the consumption of Hengluosi increased by nearly 10 million yuan these days, which really stimulated Hengluosi.
Sri Lanka’s economy.
Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, General Li Siye wants to see you."
A eunuch came in and reported.
Zhao Ziliang, who was buried in the memorial, said: "Let him come in."
Li Siye came in quickly, clasped his fists and said, "I have met the king."
Zhao Ziliang put down his ink pen and raised his head and asked: "General Li, why did you come to see me today?"
Li Siye said: "Back to your Majesty, it was originally planned that the Seventh Army Corps would go to garrison in the lower reaches of the Xindu River.
However, the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, General Xuan Er, was ill and could not lead his troops to set off.
Seeing that there was only one month left before the handover of the garrison.
If the delay continues, we will not be able to arrive at the scheduled area in time for the handover.”
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Is Xuan Er's illness serious?"
“Can’t get out of bed anymore” Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked off Danbi, holding his hands behind his back, and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Siye cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the lower reaches of the Xindu River have been planned by the King for a long time.
He finally forced the Dashi Kingdom to cede this area to our country.
How could we let go of this opportunity?
It's too late to change the Sixth Army now.
Now, since General Xuan Er is unable to set off, I suggest that another general be sent to lead the Seventh Army and set off immediately."
Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth in the hall for several times with his hands behind his back and said: "In that case, let Xuan Er temporarily stay in the Taixi Governor's Mansion to recuperate, and order the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, Erzhu, to lead his troops to set off and rush to Kandahar to prepare.
Carry out garrison handover matters with the Dashi Army" "Yes."
Li Siye agreed with clasped fists and asked, "Your Majesty, if the cannibal suddenly changes his mind and refuses to hand over the lower reaches of the Xindu River and withdraws his troops, what will our army do?"
This kind of thing is not impossible.
After all, the two parties signed a secret agreement and did not announce it to the outside world.
It is entirely possible for the big cannibal to change his mind, so we must consider how to deal with this situation.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How many soldiers and horses does the Great Eater have stationed in the lower reaches of the Xindu River?"
Li Siye said: "Since Tianzhu in the east is now falling apart, it does not pose much of a threat to Dashi.
Therefore, Dashi does not have many troops stationed in the lower reaches of the Xindu River.
There are only about 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and most of them are stationed in Suku.
Er, Dashi and Tianzhu are bounded by the western edge of the Thar Desert.
By stationing troops and horses in Sukur, on the one hand, we can maintain the threat to the city-states of Tianzhu, and on the other hand, we can guard against our Western Qin."
Zhao Ziliang walked to the west wall of the hall and opened the curtain to reveal a huge map of Kanda hanging on the wall, "Which is the fastest way from Kandahar to the Lower Sindu River area?"
Li Siye walked over, picked up the long pole next to him and pointed at the west side of the Sindu River area and said: "Your Majesty, the upper reaches of the Sindu River area are on the west side of the Suleiman Mountains, and the lower reaches are the Kiltar Mountains.
The mountains lead to The sea, if the army wants to go from Kandahar to the lower reaches of the Sindu River, taking the Bolun Pass between these two mountain ranges is the nearest and best way to go.
However, if the army wants to go through the Bolun Pass, it must first enter The border of Dashi is more than 100 miles away.
Will this army be intercepted?
If the army does not go to Kandahar, but directly moves southeast from Kabul, passes through the territory of the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu, and goes south along the banks of the Xindu River, along the way There is sufficient water supply, and reaching the border may be faster than walking through Bolan Pass.
However, if our army rushes into Northern Tianzhu's territory, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "First get the lower reaches of the Xindu River.
As for the thirty-six city-states in Northern Tianzhu, wait until the Third Army and the Slave Army are ready next year to solve it.

Since the army can quickly enter Xindu through the Bolun Pass, lower reaches of river District, then let the Seventh Army march quickly at night through the Dashi country border area.
If the Dashi people repent or the Dashi garrison generals do not change defenses, let me attack by force.
There is no turning back when the bow is fired, and the lower reaches of the Xindu River , I am determined to win."
Li Siye reminded: "Your Majesty, once the war starts, we are not ready for a large-scale war, and it is too late to mobilize troops and horses in time.
Now the Third Army and the Slave Army are preparing for the war in Northern Tianzhu, and the only ones we can use are The Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Eighth Army are stationed in Oguz.
It is too far to be transferred to the south to join the war.
It is too late in a short time.
It will also take time to mobilize the conscripts."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "What you are thinking is not unreasonable.
We are not ready for a large-scale war, but are we ready for the Great Eclipse?
The interior of the Eating Era is very unstable.
Mansur needs a lot of troops to stabilize the interior.
It will also cost him a lot of energy, and he does not have enough troops and reserves to fight a large-scale war with us.
Even if a war starts, the Eighth Army does not need to be transferred to the south, and can directly pass through Huazizm to attack Dashibei.
On the other hand, the Second Army can also cross the Caucasus Mountains to attack the Transcaucasus region of the great food country.
A real all-out war will not be a battle of one or two armies, but a battle everywhere.
Now we have the ability to attack from the east, south and north.
Three routes are launched to attack the Great Food Country.
Our roads in Western Qin are wide and the speed of deploying troops is definitely much faster than that of the Great Food Country.
If there is a fight, we are not afraid.
The one who is afraid should be Mansur."
"yes" On September 22, Erzhu led his army to Kandahar.
The Seventh Legion, like other legions, has 9,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry, and 800 civilian and logistical support troops.
The soldiers of each legion in Western Qin are almost all-round arms, and even the cavalry and infantry are divided.
There is no big limit.
Infantry can also fight on horseback, but their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of cavalry.
Their role as infantry cannot be replaced by cavalry.
Three thousand infantry are both sword and shield bearers.
Whether they are spearmen or archers, the infantry is equipped with a horse, a spear, a small buckler, a horizontal sword and a pair of bows and arrows.
Before the enemy is close, they can line up in a dense formation with the bows of the archers.
The characters use long-range infantry bows to carry out long-range strikes against the enemy.
When the enemy approaches, they immediately abandon their bows and use long weapons to deal with the cavalry.
If the opponent is infantry, they immediately abandon their spears and use swords and shields to deal with the enemy.
During the march, because they had more equipment, even riding horses could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry.
The cavalry was usually equipped with two horses, and the archers were even equipped with three horses.
After resting for two days and carrying enough supplies, Erzhu led his army towards the southern border.
When they arrived at the border, it was already late at night.
Erzhu summoned the generals and said: "We want to go to Bolan Pass, we must pass through it.
In the Dashiguo border area, which is more than a hundred miles away, of course we headed east and south along the Suleiman Mountains, but the road was difficult and this was the only easy road, so we Choose to march at night, try to avoid encounters with the patrols in the Dashi Kingdom, and arrive at Bolan Pass before dawn tomorrow, where the Dashi Army is stationed.
According to the agreement between the two countries, the Dashi Nation ceded all the Lower Xindu River area to Our country, of course, the Bolun Pass is among them.
We must send a vanguard to take over the garrison of the Bolun Pass.
Who among you is willing to lead the troops there?"
The generals stood up and clasped their fists one after another: "General, I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard to take over Bolan Pass."
Erzhu looked at the generals, and his eyes fell on Wei Gao, the general of the cavalry department.
Wei Gao was only eighteen years old.

He was originally a scholar and was smart since he was a child.
But after he heard about Zhao Ziliang's deeds, he decided to join the army. , studied the art of war and military affairs.
He learned good riding skills and riding archery at the age of fourteen.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen and made many military exploits.
In just three years, he was promoted from a soldier to a general in the cavalry department.
"Wei Gao" "The end will be here" Wei Gao, who is not physically strong, stood up and held his fists.
Erzhu said: "I order you to lead the cavalry headquarters as the vanguard of the army and rush to Bolun Pass overnight to take over the defense.
First, negotiate with the generals of the Dashi garrison.
If the other party does not fulfill the agreement, there has been an order from above to immediately send troops to attack.
We must capture Bolan Pass before the main force of our army arrives.”
"Accept the order."
Wei Gao agreed with clasped fists, turned around, got on his horse and left.
Soon he led his two thousand horse archers to speed up their march and disappeared into the night.
Since the army had set off, they had already sent scouts to find out the marching route.
Under the leadership of the scouts, Wei Gao led two thousand horse archers non-stop, and arrived at the foot of Bolan Pass at dawn.
A large wave of cavalry suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, startling the food army stationed at the mountain pass.
Wei Gao led a dozen riders up the mountain pass and appeared under the Dashi military camp.
Someone on the wall shouted in Dashi dialect: "Who are you and where did you get the army from?"
Wei Gao said to a Dashi translator: "Tell him, just say that we are the army of the Western Qin Dynasty, and we have been ordered to take over the lower reaches of the Xindu River.
The Bolun Pass is also in the defense area, and let them withdraw from the Bolan Pass immediately in accordance with the agreement between the two countries."
Lun Pass, hand over Bolun Pass to our army for garrison."
The translator immediately translated the original words, and the Dashi garrison general on the wall responded loudly: "I have never heard of any agreement or any defense handover.
You intruding into our country without authorization is tantamount to invading our country." , please leave immediately” After hearing what the translator said, Wei Gao said to the translator: "You tell him that he does not have to abide by the agreement between the two countries, but if he does not agree to withdraw and start to implement defense changes before dawn, my general will send troops to attack this kind of The act of blatantly violating the agreement between the two countries is a discredit to their caliphate and the people of Dashi.
Even if he escapes with his life, he will never escape the punishment of the Dashi Caliph.
And if he dies here, his death will be in vain.
A smart man People would never do this.”
After the translator passed the message over, there was no response from the wall of the village for a long time.
Half an hour passed, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Wei Gao was impatient with waiting, and was about to order an attack when the gate of the village suddenly opened, revealing a large food general.
The leader came over with a few soldiers and said to Wei Gao: "Okay, we will carry out the agreement to change defenses, but our soldiers are packing up and it will take a quarter of an hour."
Wei Gao thought for a moment, looked up at the sky, and agreed: "Okay."
A quarter of an hour later, the thousands of food troops stationed here withdrew to the west.
Before Erzhu arrived with the main force of the brigade, Wei Gao led his army to take over the defense of Bolun Pass
