Ma Lu, Li Chengji received an urgent report from Yarawachi, and it was seven days later.

Once what the letter says is true, then the situation of Gansu Province may be even better than expected.

At this time, the cabinet and the marshal's mansion were also there, and Li Chengji had to discuss such a major matter with them.

"Holy Lord, the advice of the envoy of Yaravach should be feasible." , the second auxiliary stone Mo Min'an said. According to Yarawachi's suggestion, taking advantage of the fact that the Mongolian high-level was suffering from the gods, he could launch an eastward crusade.

In the war between Mongolia and Jin, the strong combat power displayed made the ministers of the Great Yuan vigilant. In the past, Li Chengji always regarded Mongolia as a great enemy, which made them a little incomprehensible. It was not until the Battle of Mongjin that they finally recognized the combat effectiveness of the Mongol cavalry.

The so-called take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Launching an attack at a time when there was a crisis at the top of the Mongolian leadership just solved the trouble in Dayuan's heart.

This proposal, Li Chengji is not impressed, it is fake.

But his attitude matters!

Before others have expressed their positions, he can't easily reveal his attitude. Otherwise, everyone's attitude will become the same as him.

"No! The army of the Western Expedition has been launched, and the daily consumption of money and food is astronomical. If you go east again, I'm afraid that the treasury can't afford it! Khorazmi is sensitive to numbers, remembering the consumption of the treasury and objecting.

Zhang Timing did not stand on the opposite side of Khorazmi, and said worriedly: "Although the acres of cultivated fields are doubling every year, the growth rate of new immigrants is several times that of acres. Since the Western Expedition, the West Persian border has received more than 200,000 new immigrants. If you go to the east again, you will only be afraid of ······".

Accepting immigrants is Dayuan's national policy!

Even in times of war, the national policy has not changed. Although it is not better paid than in peacetime, it will guarantee the minimum living needs of immigrants.

Even if each person consumes only one-tenth of the money and food of a Dayuan soldier, it is a large expenditure when there are many people.

Flatt hesitated: "If the immigration matter is temporarily suspended, perhaps some money and food can be released to support the war in the east." ”。

The war in Gansu Province has not stopped for a moment!

Although it was no more tragic than the Persian legions on the westward expedition, it had already engaged in several tug-of-war battles with the cavalry of the Caliph and the Ayyubid kingdom in Baghdad. However, the confrontation and competition with the Mongol cavalry was also resource-intensive.

The supply of firearms, the consumption of cold weapons such as swords and axes, is massive. Even if there are three years of war preparations, they will not be able to withstand the attrition brought about by the all-out war on both fronts.

Li Chengji knew that the big battle was fighting for resources and consumption, so he said to Ali Bura: "If the current consumption is used, how long can the money and grain in the treasury be supported?" ”。

"Only maintaining the current scale of the war can last for a year and a half. When this year's harvest is over, it can be supported for a little longer. Ali Bura said the true prediction very sincerely.

In the end, Dayuan's agricultural foundation is still very weak. Even after so many years of investment, on average, the cultivation area of each Dayuan person is still not much. And a lot of the fields are newly cultivated. In terms of harvest, it is not as good as Ueda, which has been developed for a long time.

At the beginning of the war, the top management of Dayuan calculated the time to support the war through the existing resources. For more than a year, it is not difficult to take the land of the crescent moon.

Because it is mostly an oasis-shaped city, there is no barrier from famous mountains and rivers. For Dayuan, who has been very mature in the use of firearms, Stone Town is not difficult to conquer.

Now blocked in Baghdad, there is both Dayuan's intention to deliberately consume the resistance of the Ayyubid Kingdom, and waiting for Li Chengji to personally go east.

After all, Baghdad has been the place where the Abbas family has lived for hundreds of years, and it has an extraordinary place in the hearts of Muslims. Lee Seung-gil personally conquered this holy city, which was convenient for establishing the unique legitimacy of Puritan Christianity among all sects of Islam.

This is also the consensus formed at the top of Dayuan at the beginning of the war.

Li Chengji saw that Li Zhongyuan had not spoken, and said loudly: "Generalissimo, what do you think? ”。

"Holy Lord, when we sold it to the Mongols, we wanted to damage their muscles and weaken their combat effectiveness. And now, have we achieved our goal? ”，

According to Yarawachi's statement, their purpose has been achieved.

Li Chengji did not deny it, and responded: "Although something went wrong, it was discovered by the Mongols in advance." But they also obediently ate our food for several years. The purpose was approximately achieved. ”。

"Guys, what do you say?" , Li Zhongyuan asked the others again.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Holy! I call for the immediate use of troops against Mongolia. Once they have taken care of their bodies, they will lose the opportunity. Li Zhongyuan said earnestly.

"But fighting on two fronts, the attrition of the army ······," Ali Bura frowned.

"To crusade against the Mongols, you can use surprise soldiers. On the surface, King Liang thought it was contained, but secretly, he could send another surprise army to go deep into Hala and Lin and behead the Mongolian enemy chieftain. ”。

"Now the whole Mobei is the eyes of the Mongols, if you don't alarm everyone to arrive at Hala and Lin, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" , Farrazi said suspiciously.

Li Chengji, who had stopped for a long time, also suddenly spoke at this time, and said to Li Zhongyuan: "Generalissimo, the strange soldier you just talked about, is it the Flying Eagle Army?" ”。

"The Eagles?" , these words made Ali Bura and others a little embarrassed.

Li Zhongyuan admitted: "Holy Lord, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored. After three years of training, the Flying Eagle Army is already enough to take charge on its own. ”。

A special existence in the Flying Eagle Military Great Yuan Army, not to mention that the civilian officials don't know, even there are very few people in the army who know about it. Similar to artillery, it is considered a special branch of the military. And the ones selected are all excellent soldiers whose physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people.

They used the military version of the hot air balloon produced by the Dayuan Army workshop to fly high in the sky like an eagle. Then it slammed into the ground and formed a surprise attack on the enemy.

Originally, this was an idea of Lee Seung-gil!

However, due to the difficulty of improving the hot air balloon technology, the progress is very slow. In addition, the selection of soldiers is also troublesome because of the high requirements. Until now, the entire Flying Eagle Army had only seven hundred soldiers.

"Really? That's a great thing! Li Chengji couldn't help but get up from the throne and said happily. In order for the Flying Eagle Army to become an army, he took out a lot of money from the inner treasury to support it. But after waiting too long, he gradually lost hope.

Who knows, the Flying Eagle Army has actually grown up.

"The minister does not dare to deceive the saint." , Li Zhongyuan saw the joy in Li Chengji's heart, and replied with a smile on his face. Although Ali Bura and the others didn't understand, they still followed Qi Qi to say goodbye.
