After an earth-shattering million war, both Li Liangzuo and Ma Lik Shah have settled a lot, a big battle after both the Xia army and the Serbian army have suffered heavy losses, both sides are like wounded lions are constantly licking their wounds, in the next few months, the Xia army and the Serbian army have not had a large-scale battle again, but clashes between patrols are inevitable, in order to avoid the big war Li Liangzuo and Ma Lik Shah are very restrained.
"Your Majesty, the new reinforcements have arrived, this is already the third batch of reinforcements, according to Your Majesty's military order, all the new troops are stationed in Xiqi City, and the 300,000 troops are already on standby, please show your Majesty."
Xiao Zhuozi walked to Li Liangzuo's side and said.
"The army is temporarily stationed in Xiqiu, waiting for further military orders from me," Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi; "By the way, has the administrative envoy sent a letter, how is the matter of the soldiers' pension?"
"It's done, Your Majesty, don't worry about these trivial matters anymore" "This is the soldiers who followed me to fight in the south and the north, and now they have died on the battlefield, I can't treat their families badly, otherwise how can I make my brothers feel at ease."
"By the way, Your Majesty, General Chahan has sent a letter" Before Xiao Zhuozi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Liangzuo: "Tell me quickly, where is Chahan now?"
"Your Majesty, now General Chahan is leading an army to be stationed in the country of Khorezm, according to General Chahan's report, King Nineshi of Khorezm has promised to send troops to fight against the Serbian army with the Great Xia State."
"What are the conditions," Li Liangzuo asked very blandly.
"Your Majesty, Master Ninee put forward the condition that our Great Xia Kingdom must open a trade route through Khorezm, and when Khorezm is attacked by other countries, the Great Xia Kingdom must send troops to protect it, in order to show its submission to Your Majesty, Master Ninee is willing to attack Your Majesty every year with 50,000 gold coins."
Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo sneered: "He is not stupid, once the Silk Road passes through the Khorezm country, how much will the annual tax be hundreds of thousands or even millions, and if you take 50,000 binar gold coins, you will beat me, and take my warriors as mercenaries?"
Xiao Zhuozi persuaded Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, it is already very good that this situation can have this result now, if Khorezm defects to the Seljuk Empire, I am afraid that General Chahan will be in danger." ” "Don't worry, Khorezm doesn't dare to be embarrassed, Nineze is a smart man, although my Xia army can't reach Khorezm from the south road, but choose to take the north road; Tell him that he must pay an annual tribute of 100,000 gold coins of Benar so that I will form an alliance with him, and I will not let him suffer after the alliance. ” "Yes, the minion will do it."
"Is there any news from Wu'er and General Hua Ma and Mu Zheng?"
"Not yet."
Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo; "However, according to the information learned by the minions, it seems that there have been problems with the logistics supply line of the Serbian army in recent times, and the minions guess in vain that it may be His Royal Highness the King of Qin and General Hua Ma."
"Where was the place where the Serbian army was robbed?"
Xiao Zhuozi walked to the map and pointed to the location and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, please see, the supplies of the Serbian army have been hijacked in these three places. ” "This area is already located south of the Iron Gate Pass, and Telmi is the bridgehead for the Serbian army to enter the Western Regions, and it is an important logistics turnover base for the Serbian army.
Li Liangzuo said thoughtfully; "In this way, little Zhuozi, you send spies to draw a circle with a radius of 100 miles around each of these three points, and where these three circles overlap, it should be their hiding place, no matter what, you must do everything possible to find them out?"
"Yes, the minion understands."
"Send someone to Khotan to call Chang'er, I have something to look for him, I've been idle for so long, I should let him make some effort."
Li Liangzuo stared at the map with his eyes fixed and said.
In fact, at this time, a huge plan is brewing in Li Liangzuo's heart, since it is not advantageous in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, then Li Liangzuo can only start from the strategy, and the hard result makes the elite of the Xia army under Li Liangzuo suffer heavy losses, such a major loss makes Li Liangzuo heartbroken, at this time Li Liangzuo is not so big, and the next war Li Liangzuo hopes to be able to exchange the minimum price for the biggest victory.
In Khotan, since coming to Khotan, Li Bingchang has been a cold bench here, not to mention Li Bingchang, the 100,000 army under his command has not even seen a single hair of the enemy, the battle ahead is in full swing, Li Bingchang has repeatedly asked for orders to go to the battlefield and has been rejected by Li Liangzuo.
Since the outbreak of the Honghe War, Li Bingchang found that the caravan passing through Khotan has decreased significantly, Li Bingchang knows that the war ahead has a great impact on the Silk Road, and now the Great Xia Kingdom is based on the bow horse agricultural merchants, and the status of the merchants and the peasant soldiers are a level, which is an example in the history of China, most of the taxes of the Great Xia Kingdom come from commerce, relying on this Silk Road, Li Liangzuo's willingness to go west is also to control the middle section of the Silk Road in his own hands.
"Lord Wang, it's already late at night, you better rest early," the attendant next to him said to Li Bingchang.
Li Bingchang looked at the map and asked the attendant: "This king can't sleep, you go down first."
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and soon a herald of the Xia army with a small red flag came in and said, "Your Majesty Shengyu, His Royal Highness the King of Xuan Dynasty has gone to Xiqi City to see the driver. ” Li Bingchang immediately knelt on the ground and answered: "Erchen takes the order." ” Li Bingchang did not dare to slack off in the slightest after receiving Li Liangzuo's military order, and immediately set off to see the driver in Xifang, Li Bingchang knew that since he had not seen himself before, he must have an important combat mission to see himself at this time, and what Li Bingchang was most eager for was the opportunity, as the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, Li Liangzuo's son, it would be a lie to say that there was no heart to fight for the throne, compared with Li Wu, Li Bingchang was not treated by Li Liangzuo since he was a child, although Li Bingchang didn't know why, But Li Bingchang knew that if he wanted to become the crown prince, he would need to work harder than Li Wu, so Li Bingchang needed opportunities more than Li Wu.
Li Bingchang took hundreds of guards to the camp at the fastest speed in two days to run 800 miles to the camp, when Li Bingchang arrived, Li Liangzuo also just arrived in the camp to inspect the camp with Li Yue, Li Yue is Li Liangzuo's son, Li Yue is Li Liangzuo's son-in-law, and now he is Li Liangzuo's son-in-law, so he also cares for Li Yue and Li Liangzuo.
"Son-in-law, see father."
Li Bingchang knelt down and saluted.
"It's been hard all the way, let's go down and rest first, and I'll summon you later."
"Thank you, father, son-in-law retire."
After Li Bingchang left, Li Liangzuo asked Li Yue: "Yue'er, the 300,000 army is well trained, and now this soldier has almost been trained, but there is a difficult task waiting for you, I want to listen to your opinion." ” "Father, no matter what the task is, the ministers are willing to go," Li Yue said on one knee; "If it weren't for my father, the emperor would have starved to death in Guanzhong long ago."
