Yelu Dashi slowly walked down the hillside, pointed at the sunset with his horsewhip, and said to Xiao Hulira: "Xiao Hulira, we Khitans can't resist the Jin people now, our population is still very small, and the vast Western Regions is the guarantee for the rise of our Khitans. ”

"Obey the order!"

Xiao Lira said happily.

However, at this time, a horse galloped over, and when he got close, he dismounted and knelt down: "King Qiyu, a great change has taken place in the Uighur Kingdom of Gaochang in the Western Regions, and a Song army of 3,000 people suddenly crossed the Green Ridge and took Gaochang City within five days!" Then they quickly took Qiuci and Khotan, and the countries of the Western Regions heard the wind and surrendered, and now the Song people's soldiers have pointed directly at the Khorezm Khanate and Tocharo! ”

"What?"

Yelu Dashi looked confused!

The Song people had already rushed ahead of him and taken Gaochang City, which made Yelu Dashi's almost fail.

"King, although the Song people have taken Gaochang City, there are still many small countries in the Western Regions, without further ado, the ministers will immediately lead the army to set off, hoping to catch up with the Song people and take a few cities!" Xiao Lira hurriedly said.

Yelu Dashi sighed and said: "Forget it, the Song people have taken the Western Regions, we can't act rashly now, you send someone to congratulate you, and by the way, ask if there is anything we Khitans can help." ”

Xiao Lili said unwillingly: "King, this? ”

"Go, if the Song people are willing to share our piece of the pie, then accept it, after all, the Western Regions are vast, and the Song people cannot occupy all the Western Regions at once, we can ask for some pastures to graze, or help them defend the city." It would be better if we were to act as the vanguard of the attack on Khorezm. Go ahead! Yelu Dashi said.

Xiao Lira said: "Yes, the minister obeys. ”

......

Gaochang City.

Wang Gui banged on the table and looked at the royal families of the Western Regions under the stage, but he didn't say a word.

The members of the Gaochang royal family were worried one by one, in the battle of breaking the city, they all saw the ferocity of the Song army, and those steel needles flying from afar slaughtered the warriors of Gaochang, which was terrible.

Xi Mengsi, who was on the side, leaned down at this time and whispered to Wang Gui: "Lord Wang, do you want to kill them all?" ”

Wang Gui glanced at Xi Mengsi and shook his head.

However, he was a little unsure about the character of these people in the Western Regions, so he said: "Let's put them all under house arrest, report to the imperial court, and wait for the imperial court's will to come down before making a decision." In addition, the brethren have worked hard, and the king has commanded that the whole army should be repaired for five days, and that everyone should be allowed to indulge in a little, as long as it is not excessive. ”

Xi Mengsi was overjoyed and said, "The last general will obey!" Someone came, send all these royal families to Xicheng, and wait for them. ”

After these royal families were escorted away, Xi Mengsi said again: "Lord, now that we have occupied most of the Western Regions, these locals must be killed, otherwise we will have no way to rule." ”

Wang Gui frowned and said, "It's not that you don't know the consistent policy of our Han dynasty, and it has always been a policy of wooing countries in the Western Regions, even in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. If you kill their royal family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the locals. What's more, the attitude of the official family is not very clear, let's wait. But if you encounter a troublemaker, don't be soft, just give the king a dead hand. ”

Simons said, "Well, the last general knows what to do. Lord Wang, now that he has won the Western Regions, the credit of the prince is too great, and there is no one in this great Song Dynasty who can compare with the prince. The last general thinks that we can attack Khorezm next, and Khorezm sent someone to question the prince, saying that these countries in the Western Regions are all vassal states of Khorezm, and the prince, this battle is inevitable. ”

"Haha, this Khorezm is still a vassal of the Seljuks, and he dares to provoke my Great Song. This king sees that they are the dogs of the Turks, ready to come and bite the two of us. You send someone to the West Sea, bring the weapons here, and then notify the imperial court to prepare steel needles for us, the consumption of crossbows is very large. Wang Gui said with a smile.

Xi Mengsi said with a smile: "The last general knows, the prince, after defeating Khorezm, we will clean up the Turks and attack the Byzantine kingdom, haha, then the prince will become the most meritorious minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family will definitely look at the prince differently." ”

Wang Gui also smiled proudly: "Haha, this king can have today, one is the trust of the officials, and the other is the hard work of all the soldiers, rest assured, this king will not forget your merits when the time comes." Behold, there are many of you who should be crowned princes. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Simons smiled with satisfaction.

......

Wudeden.

Ming Jian took Wang Gui's recital and asked Li Ruoshui, Li Gang and Qin Hui: "Three Aiqing, the King of the West Sea has taken this large territory of the Western Regions with a few thousand men, he asked the imperial court how to treat the local royal family members, what do you think?" ”

Li Gang said: "Official, this Western Regions is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to manage, the old minister sees, it is better to make the local people kings, it is better to manage the Western Regions, and then gradually immigrate to the Western Regions, although there are many people in our Great Song Dynasty, but now we are vigorously developing the economy, and it is not easy to act rashly, otherwise many places may not be able to develop!" Ten years later, the entire Western Regions may be assimilated. ”

"This is where I want to be, and this place must be in our hands, because beyond the Western Regions, there are Turks and Byzantines, and our goal is to conquer these two places. Therefore, I intend to use iron-fisted means to recover the Western Regions. In this case, I will personally go to the Western Regions, and the government will be handed over to the three of you, and we will continue to implement the policy I set before. Ming Jian said.

Li Ruoshui hurriedly said: "Since the official family is going, the army must also follow, otherwise it will not be enough to protect the safety of the official family with the little men and horses of the King of the West Sea." ”

"No, I have my own way." Ming Jian said.

was discussing, but Jia Yi hurriedly ran in.

"Qiqi official, the envoy of the Japanese Benguo is here, it seems that he is in a hurry."

Ming Jian secretly thought what was this little day stupid for? When the Great Song Dynasty was strong, Xiao Riben often came to worship and pay tribute or something, but since the rise of the Khitans and Jurchens, this Xiao Riben has come less, and since Ming Jian took office, Xiao Riben has not come.

Ming Jian also suddenly felt at this time, could he use this to knock some neighboring countries? In the past, Da Song was bullied by others, but now only Da Song bullies others, if you don't come to pay tribute, Lao Tzu will beat you!

At this time, Xiao Ri Ben should be in a very backward era, wild history records, in order to keep up with the Chinese civilization, in the Song Dynasty once sent a large number of women to the Song Dynasty to borrow seeds, where you meet handsome, tall, strong men, will take the initiative to give embrace, pregnant after returning to the day Ben.

Ming Jian suddenly felt that this was a solution to the problem of the Western Regions, since there were restrictions on the immigration of the Han people, Xiao Riben could go to the Western Regions, and the children born at that time could dilute the blood of the people in the Western Regions.

Moreover, it is best to let a stupid woman go to the Western Regions, which is easier to control, and a stupid man is more aggressive and easy to cause trouble. Rather, they can be conscripted into the army, serve as a servant army, and let them take the lead whenever they attack.

Thinking of this, Ming Jian said: "Aiqing quickly announced that Xiao Ri's stupid envoy entered the palace!" ”

"Obey." Jia Yi said.

After a while, two little day ben were announced into the martial arts hall, one male and one female, the female was quite good-looking, wearing the unique kimono of the day stupid people.

As soon as the two of them came in, they hurriedly knelt down: "Miyamoto Hengjing, the envoy of the Ben Kingdom of Xiaori [Miko Sasaki] See His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were so humble and polite, Ming Jian sighed that the current Xiao Riben was really backward, and under the light of the Central Plains civilization, they respected themselves from the bottom of their hearts.

"The two envoys rose up to speak, and proclaimed my will, and gave me a seat!" Ming Jian smiled.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie." The two hurriedly got up again and said.

After they sat down, Ming Jian said, "What happened to the two envoys?" ”

Miyamoto Hengjing stood up again and said: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, our Emperor heard that the Kingdom of Shang was strong and defeated the Kingdom of Jin, so he sent me and others to worship His Majesty the Emperor and rebuild the relationship between the two countries. ”

Ming Jian frowned and said, "Hmph, you came here when you saw that our Great Song Dynasty was able to give you something again, right?" Say, "Why didn't you come to worship in the past few years?" Do you want to collude with Jin Guo to deal with the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Miyamoto Hengjing and Miko Sasaki were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
