"Li Yuanhao fled without a fight?" In the vertical arch hall of the imperial city of Tokyo, Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the battle report handed over by Zhao Zhen, before the war, he had imagined the direction of many kinds of wars, even if he was defeated, he could accept it, but Li Yuanhao's move was far beyond his imagination.

"When the war report came, I also wondered if Cao Mata and they were mistaken, but later several similar war reports arrived, which made me believe that Li Yuanhao really escaped." Zhao Zhen also said helplessly at this time, in order to prevent some important information from being lost on the road, several copies will generally be sent at the same time, so that even if one or two pieces of information cannot be delivered due to accidents, there are other spare ones that can be delivered in time.

"Li Yuanhao escaped, what about Zhenzhou?" Li Zhang hurriedly asked Zhao Zhen at this time, Zhenzhou is Li Yuanhao's lair, and it is also an important town on the grassland, if it can control here, then it will be of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty to control the grassland in the future.

"It is written at the back of the battle report that Zhenzhou has been occupied by Cao Mata's vanguard army, and there was a little conflict with the Liao army, but then the Liao army retreated." Zhao Zhen pointed to the battle report in Li Zhang's hand, which had a detailed description.

After Li Zhang heard this, he hurriedly opened the battle report and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that the situation in Zhenzhou was recorded at the end, and it turned out that Cao Mata They also immediately sent people to Zhenzhou after seeing the empty Fangzhou City, and they happened to meet with the Bubu people sent by Yelu Zhirang, and the two sides arrived at Zhenzhou City almost at the same time, and found that the city was also empty, and even the Bubu people entered the city one step earlier.

But this time the Song generals who were sent to lead the army were very decisive, and immediately entered the city to drive out the Bu people, for which there were some conflicts between the two sides, but the Bu people did not dare to really fight with the Song army, so they had no choice but to retreat, and Zhenzhou finally fell into the hands of the Song army.

When the war report came, Cao Yu had already rushed to Zhenzhou City, and in the end, he also analyzed the direction of Li Yuanhao's escape, the conditions in Mobei were too bad, and he had to pass through the vast desert, Li Yuanhao's men not only had the army, but also many old, weak, sick and disabled, so it should be impossible for them to flee to Mobei, but it is likely to flee to the direction of the Western Regions.

"Cousin, do you think Li Yuanhao will really flee to the Western Regions?" Zhao Zhen also asked Li Zhang with a solemn expression at this time, and after he received the battle report, he immediately summoned Li Zhang to discuss, because he knew that Li Zhang was the person who knew Li Yuanhao best.

"It is very likely that there are many small countries in the Western Regions, and their strength is not very strong, under Li Yuanhao's iron hooves, they can't hold out for too long, the most important thing is that our hands can't stretch out so long, we can only watch Li Yuanhao open up a territory in the Western Regions." Li Zhang also showed a distressed expression at the end.

"This Li Yuanhao is just like a loach, slippery and slippery, so people can't catch it if they want to!" Zhao Zhen slapped his thigh angrily when he heard this, under the influence of Li Zhang, he has always regarded the party as one of the major troubles, and he thought that this time he could completely solve the other party, but he didn't expect Li Yuanhao to play his cards out of common sense, and he directly threw down the foundation and fled.

"Cousin, if Li Yuanhao really escaped to the Western Regions, which small country do he think he would start from?" Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of another question at this time, and immediately asked Li Zhang again, in recent years, the Great Song Dynasty has also resumed contact with the countries of the Western Regions, and has some understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, especially some small countries in the Western Regions have also resumed their tributary relations with the Great Song Dynasty, which can be regarded as a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty.

"I can't say for sure, there are too many small countries in the Western Regions, and Li Yuanhao has too many targets to start, but I think Li Yuanhao should have figured it out, so he will definitely try his best to avoid being hit by us again, in this way, he will definitely choose to start with small countries in the Western Regions that are far away from us, such as Gaochang Huifu, East and West Qarakhan, etc., and even he may run farther, so far away that our Great Song Dynasty will never be able to threaten him!"

Li Zhang also showed a contemplative expression at the end, and now he tried to put himself in Li Yuanhao's perspective and wait for this problem, but he was desperate to find that if he was Li Yuanhao, facing the increasingly powerful enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, it would only make him more and more powerless, in fact, he completely gave up the idea of confronting the Great Song Dynasty.

However, as the leader of the party, Li Yuanhao also has a very important task, that is, to find a more suitable land for the party people, at least not to live in the shadow of the Great Song Dynasty at all times, and the only thing that echoes the requirements is the Western Regions, the so-called Western Regions does not only refer to Central Asia, but includes Central Asia, and the places west of Central Asia are called the Western Regions by the Central Plains.

"Our Great Song can't threaten him, so don't think about coming back, could it be that Li Yuanhao really gave up the idea of being an enemy of our Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang had a tacit understanding, and when they heard this, they immediately understood what he meant.

"Almost, since he can't afford to provoke him, then he can only avoid us, the physical distance can minimize the possibility of conflict between the two sides, unless we can restore the territory of the former Tang." Li Zhang finally spread his hands and said, when the Tang Dynasty was at its strongest, even Central Asia was their territory, and they didn't know how they did it, anyway, with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it develops for a few more decades, it may be difficult to completely control Central Asia.

"In this way, the threat of the party item is temporarily lifted, unless Li Yuanhao can't gain a foothold in the Western Regions, and then run back, otherwise we don't have to worry about the party item?" Zhao Zhen said again in an uncertain tone at this time, and he still couldn't believe it.

"If our guess is correct, it should be like this, of course, it is not ruled out that Li Yuanhao really ran to Mobei recklessly, but I think this possibility is too small." Li Zhang spoke again, he also felt a little unbelievable about this matter, but it was the case.

"Then can we concentrate on dealing with the Liao State, it just so happens that the army is in Zhenzhou, and the Liao army is also over there, do you want to ......" Zhao Zhen said in the end, his eyes lit up, and he even had a look of eagerness to try, the party item is gone, but the great enemy of Liao is still there, if you can take this opportunity to defeat the army of Liao in one fell swoop, it can make Liao even worse.

"This ......" Li Zhang was also quite moved when he heard this, but thinking that the two countries are still in an alliance, although Li Zhang did not take this alliance to heart, even if he wanted to tear up the alliance, he had to find a normal reason, right?
