Since Li Liangzuo decided to take advantage of the time when the two tigers were fighting, he had to prepare in advance, this was a real war to destroy the country, and the opponent was a powerful country in the Western Regions, Li Liangzuo had to make all the preparations in advance, including a series of things such as grain and grass, diplomacy, and the army, and all of this had to be done in secret in order to achieve the best results.

After leaving Li Liangzuo's imperial study, Li Bingchang hurriedly left the palace, Li Bingchang did not return to his own palace after leaving the palace, but went to the Chu Wangfu of Wei Ge Ningling, the Chu Wangfu is located in the southeast of Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo personally ordered the construction, although the construction of the Chu Wangfu is not very luxurious, but it is also very exquisite, the entire Chu Wangfu has a vast construction area, surrounded by the river and has a beautiful environment, no less than the garden scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and its architectural specifications are beyond the general prince's specifications, This can also be regarded as Li Liangzuo's recognition and reward for Wei Ge Ningling's life's achievements.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang......" The housekeeper of the palace hurriedly ran to the backyard and shouted.

Wei Ge Ning Ling is playing chess! Wei Ge Ningling, who heard the palace housekeeper shouting, reprimanded: "What's the matter, what kind of system is it that shouts and screams." ”

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness has arrived." ”

Wei Ge Ningling said with a smile: "Bingchang, how did this kid think of coming to this king." ”

It turns out that since the resignation of Wei Ge Ningling, he has been staying at home, and he usually does not see the officials in the court, in addition to playing chess, raising flowers, and walking birds, the rest of the time is to deal with the family's business, and occasionally go out to be very aggressive, although there are many people who come to visit during this period, but they are all rejected by Wei Ge Ning Ling, although Wei Ge Ning Ling does not ask about political affairs, but this does not mean that Wei Ge Ning Ling does not know anything about the court situation, if there is any turmoil in the court situation of the Great Xia Kingdom, this old guy has come back to come forward.

"Go quickly, and invite the acting king in." Wei Ge Ning Ling said to the housekeeper.

After Li Bingchang came in, he immediately bowed to Brother Ning Ling and said, "Grandson to see Uncle Taihuang." ”

"I haven't seen you in the past few years, Chang'er has grown into a big boy, time flies so fast!" Wei Ge Ning Ling sighed; "Sit down and talk about something!"

Li Bingchang said to Brother Ningling: "Uncle Taihuang, my grandson came to see you this time because I have something to ask for. ”

"I know, you kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall and say it! As long as Uncle Taihuang can do it, he will definitely help you......"

"My father decided to continue to use troops in the Western Regions, and my grandson asked Uncle Taihuang to persuade my father to call off the army." Li Bingchang glanced at Wei Ge Ning Ling, then lowered his head and said.

"Then tell me why you asked your father to quit the army! As long as you can convince this king, this king will go and persuade your majesty on your behalf......"

"Continuing to use troops to the west is not good for my Great Xia Kingdom, although the Black Khan Dynasty is a strong enemy of my Great Xia Kingdom, but the Liao and Song countries located in the east are our mortal enemies, and my father and emperor must destroy the country if they unify the world, otherwise how can they be unified; Sun Er thinks that now we should use the precious forces of the Great Xia Kingdom to the east, destroy the Liao State first, destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and wait until we conquer the Central Plains and dominate the world, and then continue to use troops to the west...... Li Bingchang said impassionedly to Wei Ge Ningling.

"Chang'er, how do you compare with your father?" Wei Ge Ningling asked Li Bingchang.

"The father is eloquent, and Chang'er naturally can't compare to ......"

"Your father has had a strong personality since he was a child, but there is one thing that others can't do, and that is 'forbearance', your father can do it better than anyone else' Forbearance', because he knows what he wants, whether it is internal or external, your father is actually preparing for the domination of the world, he hopes to give his subjects a broader living space, he hopes to make the Great Xia Kingdom last forever, he hopes to leave a peaceful and prosperous era for your children and grandchildren, so your father does not hesitate to fight abroad again and again, he hopes to be able to exchange the sacrifices of his generation for the long-term peace and stability of the whole world; the reason why your father chose to go west is actually to prepare for the east crusade......

"My grandson doesn't understand, so I ask Uncle Taihuang to teach ......"

"You come with me." Wei Ge Ning Ling took Li Bingchang to a large map and said; "Our Great Xia Kingdom is located in a corner of the northwest of Central China, although it is less than the vast land, but the land is barren, we are not as good as the Central Plains Great Song Dynasty, the reason why your father was able to lay the foundation for the Great Xia Dynasty today is that in addition to his personal ability and my Xia army is brave and good at fighting, but also rely on this lifeline for our survival."

"Uncle Taihuang means this Silk Road......"

"Yes, since the opening of the Silk Road during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the severance of the Silk Road of the Tang Empire, this trade route has always been an important economic source in Northwest China, and it is precisely because of this Silk Road that the Central Plains Dynasty has been able to control the Western Regions; In order to suppress the rebels in various parts of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty continued to draw troops from the four towns of Anxi and the Hexi Corridor, which eventually led to the four towns of Anxi and the Hexi Corridor falling into the hands of the Tubo people for more than 100 years;

After the fall of the Tang Empire, the Central Plains entered the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms of warlord warfare, and the Central Plains court at that time was too busy to take care of itself, and it was no longer able to open up the Silk Road, until the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Xia Kingdom controlled the Hexi Corridor, and the Silk Road was barely opened; to earn a great deal of wealth in order to gain trade with the West; In addition to joining hands with our Great Xia Kingdom to re-open the Silk Road, the Great Song Dynasty also opened up the Maritime Silk Road;

According to the king's understanding, the Great Song Dynasty can earn a lot of wealth from the sea every year, but the sea route is also more dangerous than the land route, and it is not uncommon for ships to sink in the sea, and it is precisely for this reason that the Great Song Dynasty is willing to continue to trade with us, the wealth of the Central Plains and Jiangnan is far beyond our imagination, and the Great Song Dynasty can easily feed a million troops with this wealth, and the huge population base can call more troops at any time;

On the one hand, your father's expedition to the west is to protect the Silk Road and open up our living space to the west, and on the other hand, he is also carrying out a strategic detour, since the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty can reach the west from the east, then the merchant ships need to have ports of call in the west, as long as we can control these ports, it is equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of the Great Song Dynasty, and when we have a stable rear, our Xia army cavalry can go straight into the Central Plains to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"But, Uncle Taihuang, this Western Regions is boundless, and I don't know how many years and months it will take to find that port!"

"If we go to war with the Great Song now, do you think we will be able to achieve victory? The Song army has millions of people, and the Great Song Dynasty can arm a million army at any time, once the war starts, the two trades will inevitably be cut off, without the Silk Road to obtain materials, how long can my Great Xia Kingdom last, the Great Song Dynasty can completely exchange space for time, and drag us to death;

Now the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia Kingdom are still in the honeymoon period, we should use this period to open up a broader area, plunder more wealth and population, now is to use the materials of the East to win the victory of the Western Expedition, and then we will use the things of the West to complete the great cause of unifying the world, understand? ”

"Grandson understands, thank you Uncle Tai for teaching ......"

Ask for recommendation, ask for support, please recommend to Zhang, give Tianyu some motivation! Tianyu is grateful......
