After Xiao Jinghuan's persuasion, Xiao Tzu Rin thought about it for a long time and decided to agree to the deal with Gao Wei; In order to ensure that the land in Lejiao could be obtained smoothly, Gao Wei and Xiao Jinghuan also signed a land control agreement to prevent the other party from regretting it.
"Master Gao, you're back, how is the situation?"
asked Li Bingchang as soon as he saw Gao Wei.
"It's finished."
Gao Wei said with a smile; "The herald army will set off tomorrow to escort the 200,000 Goryeo youths and women, as well as all the supplies we have captured, to Lejiao."
"Yes, Master Gao, don't worry, this king will not even leave them a hair."
Li Bingchang said to Gao Wei.
The next thing was relatively smooth, Gao Wei led 20,000 Xia troops to march the original Boliao army, as well as some prisoners selected from the Goryeo army and 10,000 Xia cavalry, of which nearly 5,000 Xia cavalry, and the remaining 5,000 were the original Boliao army and the Goryeo army; Gao Wei led an army of 30,000 to escort the 200,000 Goryeo people and the booty worth more than 40 million taels to the west.
From Baozhou to the suburbs of more than 400 miles, the Xia army because of the escort of these things for more than half a month, the average daily marching speed is only twenty miles, although there are some tribes who want to take advantage of the fire on the way, but see the escort convoy under the banner of Xia has long been frightened and fled, the prestige of the Xia army has now spread throughout the land of Liaodong, and all the actions of the Xia army have also attracted the attention of all countries, after all, today's Great Xia is no longer the Western Xia country of the past.
After Gao Wei arrived at Lejiao City, he immediately began to establish the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, although a large number of officials of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate have not yet arrived, but its organizational structure must be established first, followed by the renovation project of the Le Jiao City, the original Le Jiao City is square, and the city wall is very low and not conducive to defense at all, now the Le Jiao City has become the station of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and it will be the largest city in Liaodong in the future, so it must be renovated on a large scale for the Le Jiao City.
The renovation drawings of Lejiao City are drawn by Li Liangzuo's guidance of the Great Xia Kingdom's master craftsmen, the whole city is an enlarged version of the fortress, the city is an irregular hexagon, each city wall has several outward extension of the city wall, on each side of the city wall, there is a special place bed crossbow and catapult on the city platform, the whole city is thirty miles around, this scale has exceeded the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Xingqing Mansion, if there is no Li Liangzuo's approval, Gao Wei will not dare to build such a city.
Even if there are 200,000 people in such a big city, it is impossible to complete the construction without a year, according to the construction requirements, the city wall is made of rammed earth, and the rammed earth is not ordinary soil but triple soil, and each rammed layer must be filled in according to a certain proportion of reed mats and other reinforcement of the city wall, and the periphery of the city wall is wrapped with green bricks; The bottom width of the city wall must reach six zhang, four points two zhang high, the city wall is provided with a building oar, a war shed, a horse face, etc., in addition there is an urn city at the city gate on each side according to the design of Li Liangzuo, and the new city will become the first big city in Liaodong after completion, and it is extremely strong.
A series of actions of the Great Xia Kingdom in Liaodong shocked all the countries of the world, especially the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom; After the Liao State obtained the establishment of the Andong Protectorate in Liaodong by the Great Xia State, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and Yelu Renxian, Yelu Yixin, Xiao Yuanshan, Yelu He, Yelu Xin and others were discussing countermeasures in the Zhongjing Dading Mansion of Liao State.
Yelu Renxian first said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, now that the Great Xia Kingdom has established the Andong Protectorate, it is obvious that it wants to truly bring the Great Xia Kingdom under its jurisdiction and turn our Tokyo Dao into the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom. ” "Li Liangzuo, this bastard, is not satisfied with the Shangjing Province and Xijing Province that occupy me, and even wants to classify Tokyo Province as his Great Xia Kingdom, he wants to be beautiful, all kinds of forces in Tokyo Province are all over the place, even during my reign of Da Liao, it is only barely maintained, he Li Liangzuo really thinks that setting up an Andong Metropolitan Protectorate can solve everything" Yelu Hongji scolded and ridiculed Li Liangzuo angrily.
Yeluxin stood up and said to Yeluhongji: "Your Majesty, if the Great Xia Kingdom really controls the entire Tokyo Dao, it will be a great disadvantage to our Daliao" Yeluxin said half of his words, and suddenly said something again.
"If Aiqing has anything to say, there is no need to swallow and spit out, and then what you do is the children of my Great Liao Imperial Family, especially you and Yeluhe, both of you are still young, and you are the rising stars of my Great Liao Imperial Family, and the Great Liao Kingdom will depend on you in the future, so if you have anything to say today, just say it."
Yelu Hongji said to Jelu Sin.
"Yes, Wechen understands."
Jerushin went to a map and said to Jeruhunji and the people; "Your Majesty, please see, this is the territory of our Great Liao, which is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, and the long territory in the western part of our country is connected to the Great Xia Kingdom, and its important passes are under the control of the Great Xia Kingdom; Once there is a conflict between our Great Liao and the Great Xia Kingdom, the Xia army will occupy a favorable situation and approach us step by step, but even so, our Great Liao can concentrate superior forces to confront it, after all, there are many enemies in the Great Xia Kingdom now, and it is impossible to attack the whole country; But now that the Great Xia Kingdom has established the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, all this is different, this Anton Metropolitan Protectorate is obviously prepared to deal with my Great Liao, once the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate of the Great Xia Kingdom really controls the entire Tokyo Road, our Great Liao will really become the bone in the throat of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the territory of my Great Liao will divide the Great Xia Kingdom into two from the middle, and if the Great Xia Kingdom wants to connect the territories on both sides, it must destroy our Great Liao, and once the two countries start a war, the Xia army can be attacked on both sides, and our Liao army will have to rely on both sides of the enemy."
"Then Aiqing thinks we should do next," Yelu Hongji asked Yelu He.
"First of all, we must strengthen the defense of Yuguan and the entire Hexi Corridor, and we must find a way to seize Jinzhou from the Boliao State, as long as Jinzhou is in hand, our army will be equivalent to blocking the Xia army in the east in Liaodong and Liaoxi," Yeluhe said to Yelu Hongji, As Yeluxin said, the reason why Gao Wei asked Li Liangzuo to agree to the formation of the Andong Protectorate was to prepare for the destruction, and the destruction of the Liao State was only the first step, and more importantly, it was to deal with the Great Song Empire located in the Central Plains The Great Xia Kingdom set up the Andong Protectorate, which did not have much impact on the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia are still in the honeymoon period, there are a large number of commercial and trade activities every year, the Great Xia Kingdom will buy grain, tea, medicinal materials and other important life strategic materials from the Great Song Dynasty every year, and will also sell salt, cattle and sheep, fur, horses and other materials to the Great Song Dynasty, although every year the Great Xia Kingdom will sell tens of thousands of horses to the Great Song Dynasty, but these horses are horses and there is no way to use them as war horses.
Although the establishment of the Great Xia Andong Protectorate did not attract the attention of the Great Song Dynasty, it did attract the attention of Wang Shao and the Seed Master Dao, in recent years, Wang Shao and the Seed Master Dao have been in the court to ask for the end of trade with the Great Xia State, and instead ally with the Liao State in order to jointly fight against the Great Xia State, but Wang Shao and the Seed Master Dao's suggestion has never been adopted.
