Great Xia Palace, conference room; Li Liangzuo left the dragon chair and paced back and forth in the open space behind the dragon chair, at this time Li Liangzuo was a little hesitant, according to Li Liangzuo's temper, since the fight has started, then he should start the posture and set up troops to do a good job, but the reality does not allow Li Liangzuo to do this; Although it is easy to start a war, it is not easy to quickly destroy the opponent after the war, and Li Liangzuo, who already has a huge foundation, can no longer mess around with his own temperament as he once did.
"Since all Aiqing agree to negotiate peace, let's negotiate peace," Li Liangzuo said to everyone after thinking for a long time; "It's just that peace is only temporary, and it is really a matter of time before war with the Black Khan Dynasty starts; Li Yi, can you introduce to you the current situation of the Black Khan Dynasty. ” "According to the information we have obtained from the Black Khan Dynasty, the Black Khan Dynasty now has a population of more than 1.5 million, and according to the form of the nomadic people, the final strength that the Black Khan Dynasty can gather is about 600,000 to 700,000, and these people are all cavalry troops."
Li Yi explained to everyone; "In addition, Suleiman has been rearming and fighting all these years, and at present, Suleiman has trained 300,000 Ghulam heavy cavalry relying on the wealth brought by the Silk Road, these Ghulam cavalry are generally light cavalry, but they can be converted into heavy cavalry at any time, in addition to 300,000 Ghulam heavy cavalry, Suleiman also conducts unified training for all the tribal men in the country, as for the number is not clear" After listening to Li Yi's introduction to the Black Khan Dynasty, everyone took a breath of cool air, no one thought that the Black Khan Dynasty had developed such a powerful military force over the years, and it was obvious that it was relying on the current power of the Black Khan Dynasty to dominate the entire Western Regions; The Black Khan Dynasty has become the biggest opponent of the Great Xia Kingdom in the Western Regions, and if the Great Xia Kingdom wants to control the middle section of the Silk Road, the first step must be to completely uproot the Black Khan Dynasty.
Li Liangzuo said to everyone: "We have been developing continuously over the years, but people are not idle, we will have a war with the Black Khan Dynasty sooner or later, and only the victor can have the right to control the Silk Road; The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, and let's not forget that we not only have enemies in the west, but also the Great Song and Liao kingdoms in the east. ” "Your Majesty, now we and Song Liao are still in the honeymoon period, and the relationship between the three countries is still good, and I haven't heard of any changes between the two countries recently."
Wei Ge Ningling said to Li Liangzuo.
"So very good, our geographical location and comprehensive national strength determine that we cannot fight on two fronts at the same time, now to the east we almost don't have to think, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Liao State can drag us into the quagmire of war, our spirit of continuous expansion should be to the west, all the way to the west, only when our population and national strength are enough to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, we can carry out a unified war, if you want to dominate the world may have to wait for twenty, thirty, fifty years or longer" Li Liangzuo said meaningfully.
In Li Liangzuo's heart, the dream of dominating the world has never been shattered, and the biggest opponent of the Great Xia Kingdom to dominate the world is the Great Song Dynasty, although the Great Song Dynasty now looks weak, but Li Liangzuo, who has the knowledge of later history, clearly knows that even the Southern Song Dynasty, which was partial to the south of the Yangtze River in the past, still resisted the Mongolian iron cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent for more than 50 years; Li Liangzuo is not confident in the Xia army's current combat effectiveness to be comparable to the Mongolian iron cavalry of later generations.
In this military conference room, the future development direction and strategic direction of the Great Xia Kingdom have been formed, but it is unclear how long it will take for Li Liangzuo to achieve the goal of dominating the world; To get back to the point, now that the Great Xia Kingdom and the Black Khan Dynasty have indirectly started a war, not only the Great Xia Kingdom court was caught off guard, but the Black Khan Dynasty's Khan Dynasty was also caught off guard, and Suleiman was also hesitant to start a full-scale war with the Great Xia Kingdom.
Barasagon, the Khan's court of the Black Khan's Dynasty, today's Barasagon City has become the most prosperous city in the entire Western Regions, here is the land of the Silk Road, where an endless stream of merchants trade, goods from the East and the West are traded here, the circulation of goods on the Silk Road has brought great wealth to Barasagon, and the tax revenue of the entire Barasagon accounts for more than one-third of the Black Khan Dynasty.
In the main hall of the residence of Suleiman of the Khan's court, all the civil and military generals of the Black Khan Dynasty gathered together, relying on the wealth brought by the Silk Road, Suleiman built his palace very luxuriously; At this time in the main hall, the atmosphere is also quite heavy, Suleiman has received news from the northern front, Ponteler has been unable to open the situation of the northern front, which makes Suleiman very anxious, if the Turgish cavalry breaks through the desert, defeats the combined army of the Xia army and the Qarluqs, and enters the territory of the barbarian tribe, then the matter will be simple.
"The northern front has given the Xia army a kick, and pushed the Qarluqs to the opposite side, and now Pontar's turquoise cavalry is slow to break the situation, and once the time drags on, I am afraid that a new major war will break out between us and the Xia state; Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this battle, whether to fight or not to fight," Suleiman said to the crowd.
Harrison stood up and said to Suleiman: "Great Khan, the last general thinks that the war must not start, and once the two countries go to war, the losses for our country must be very great; Once the two countries go to war, the Xia Kingdom will cut off the trade routes as soon as possible, and without the circulation of goods, our taxes will be greatly reduced, and it will be unfavorable to us and them for a long time; Once the two countries go to war, our army must destroy the Xia State in the shortest possible time, and directly attack the capital of the Xia State, if the Great Khan decides to start a war, it must be quickly resolved. ” "Harrison, do you think our army and the Xia army will win a victory," Suleiman asked Harrison.
Harrison thought for a moment and said, "Forty percent, forty percent at most." ” Suleiman frowned when he heard this, and then said to Harrison, "Is the odds so small?"
"Great Khan, according to our information, the combat effectiveness of the Xia army has increased unabated compared with more than ten years ago; The Xia army was divided into five major legions, one of which was the Imperial Forest Legion and four border legions, and the strength of each legion was very different, and its main force was the Royal Forest Legion; The total strength of the Xia army is more than 500,000 people, and if the war mobilization is carried out, the Xia army can increase by 200,000 within a month, and increase to a million army within three months.
What's more, the Seljuk Empire's army is expanding in all directions, and there have been conflicts with our army in the south.
Harrison analyzed to Suleiman.
After thinking for a long time, Suleiman said: "That's it, since the war can't be made, let's negotiate peace, Witson, Ben Khan has decided to send you as an envoy to the Xia Kingdom, and Ben Khan will also order Pontel to stop advancing north, as a way to show our sincerity." ” "Yes, Weichen will go to Xingqing Mansion if he receives the order."
Whitson took the order.
