Wang Ningxuan, like his brother, is a stuffy gourd, but for the sake of Khotan, he keeps talking.

"Second brother, I really can't imagine that I can hear such a tragic story for the second time in my life, you must find a way, if you can't keep Khotan, our conscience will be disturbed."

"Of course, Khotanese has to take care of it...... Wait, what a second time, where have you heard that? ”

"Where else could it be?"

Wang Ning shouted, "Second brother, have you forgotten the great clan of the Bohai Kingdom?" They have also fought for decades, died so many people, loyal and unswerving, and now they have finally revived the Bohai State, and the Khotanese State will definitely do it! ”

The corners of Wang Ningan's mouth twitched twice, "What's that...... Third, there is a difference between the Bohai State and the Khotanese State. ”

"Yes, one is in Liaodong and the other is in the northwest, but they are all that kind of loyalty, so brave, compared to me, the people of the Great Song Dynasty should really be ashamed."

"Ahem...... The country of Khotan is indeed remarkable, and as for the country of Bohai, ......"

"What? Do they have a problem? Wang Ningxuan was taken aback.

"They're fake!"

"Shenma?"

Wang Ningxuan fell from his chair.

Just kidding, he led his troops several times and ran to the Bohai Kingdom to help them fight against the Khitans, the Bohai Kingdom and the Khitan are as deep as the sea, how can it be fake?

"This ...... It can only be said that the brainwashing work is fantastic. Wang Ningan stretched out his hand to pull his brother up, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to tell Wang Ningxuan about the affairs of Bohai Kingdom.

After listening, Wang Ningxuan was stunned.

"My second brother, you're too powerful! At that time, you knew that there was a country in Khotan, and there would be envoys with jade seals to ask for help? ”

"Ahem...... If I had known at that time, it wouldn't have been your second brother. ”

"What's that?"

"It's a youkai!" Wang Ningan said politely: "I just know that Khotan has been around since the Han Dynasty, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court, but he was later destroyed by the Qarakhanid, and the affairs of the Bohai State were all made up by me - if there are similarities, it is really a coincidence!" ”

Wang Ningxuan scratched his head, and it took a long time to accept the explanation, this one was stupid again.

"Second brother, are you guilty of bullying the king? Will Your Majesty cut off your head? ”

Wang Ningan glanced at him with contempt out of the corner of his eye, "What do you think?" ”

"Probably not, anyway, Your Majesty likes you so much."

Wang Ningan snorted, "Your Majesty wants to cut off your head, you can only cut it yourself, I have already told Your Majesty about this!" ”

Wang Ningxuan's mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time.

"Second brother, you even said this? Aren't you afraid that the official family will be angry? ”

Wang Ningan smiled indifferently, "It's better to be angry than to be suspicious, you must be honest with the boss, you can't hide anything, you say, right?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Wang Ningxuan's old face suddenly turned red, and he said boldly: "Second brother, don't hide it, little brother...... What's that. ”

Wang Ningan was impatient, "Don't mother-in-law, tell me the truth!" ”

"I, I'm private for life." Wang Sanlang said boldly.

"Which girl is it?"

"It's the princess of Khotan, called Yu Chiyan, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my family won't agree." Wang Sanlang lowered his head, very embarrassed.

"Okay, you urged me to send troops to save your daughter-in-law, right?" Wang Ning'an shouted strangely.

"It's not!" Wang Ningxuan hurriedly waved his hand.

Wang Ning'an glared, "I'll tell my younger brother and sister this!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Then I'll tell the fourth uncle to go!"

"Ahh

Wang Ningxuan rolled directly under the table, second brother, you are a two-headed block, don't bring such a trick! Seeing him sitting on the ground like a gas bag, Wang Ningan couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, the fourth brother's marriage is engaged, but I forgot you, it's the second brother who is wrong." Wang Ningan pulled his brother and sat beside him.

"Don't worry, even if it is for your life's events, you will send troops to keep the country of Khotan!"

……

Wang Ningan gave his brother a package ticket, and Wang Ningxuan was so happy.

But soon Wang Ningan regretted it, he really couldn't promise casually, it was too difficult to save Khotan!

The homeland of Khotan is located in the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, and in its heyday, it was 3,000 miles from east to west, which is similar to the current Western Xia.

But now the state of Khotan is gone, and the territory in the east is occupied by the Western Xia, the Qarakhanid in the west, the Uighurs in the west, and the Tibetan tribes in the south.

Just by looking at their terrain, you can see how difficult it is for Khotan!

The land of the four wars has lasted for a thousand years, and it has been fighting with the Qarakhanid State for more than a hundred years, what a pure man!

According to Wang Ningxuan's introduction, they found the location of the remnants of Khotan 300 miles west of the sandbank.

In principle, it belongs to the Western Xia, but in fact, the Western Xia can't control it at all. There are bandits, supplies are scarce, and survival is extremely difficult. When Zhao Li left, there were still 2,000 soldiers in Khotan, and now there are less than 700 people left, and the slightly larger bandits can wipe them out.

Due to Li Liangzuo's obstruction, the Silk Road to the Western Regions was not opened, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty could not take the Hexi Corridor.

The nearest road is to start from Qingtang, cross Qinghai Lake, and take the Qaidam Basin, in fact, Wang Ningxuan is the road they walked.

However, Wang Ningxuan did not recommend that the army go from here.

When they went, it was still summer, but now it is a cold winter, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and they are all high mountains and mountains, and the snow covers the mountains, and the army can't pass at all.

And to take this road, you have to pass through the territory of Caotou Tatar and Huangtou Hui, Wang Ningxuan They walked with the Shanzi Battalion, there are only a few hundred people, they can bypass the danger, disguise themselves as caravans, and spend some money to pass.

The problem is that if tens of thousands of troops take this path, people will definitely not agree.

"If they don't agree, then destroy them!"

Wang Ningan said very politely: "I just took down the Qingtang, and by the way, I also took down all the tribes of Tubo, what grass-headed Tatar, yellow-headed Hui, let them become headless ghosts!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ningan shook his head first.

"No, if you want to fight them, you will have to delay it for at least a year and a half, and then I'm afraid that there will be no one left in Khotan." Wang Ningan sat down on the chair and fell into deep thought.

In fact, he has a more secure way, which is to learn from the successful experience of the Bohai Kingdom, in fact, it may not be difficult to create a nation. Anyway, the northwest is very chaotic, there are Tubo people, Qiang people, and party members...... Find some homeless people, get together, train for a year and a half, and ensure that they will boast of being Khotanese.

Moreover, regardless of the party or Tibet, they basically believe in Buddhism, which is exactly the same as that of Khotan, and it is not difficult to package them as Khotanese people......

This thought flashed in Wang Ning's peace of mind, and he quickly denied it, so it was too shameless to do it - if there are still awe-inspiring heroes in this world, the Khotanese people are definitely counted!

Since the Han Dynasty, the Kingdom of Khotan has appeared in the annals of history.

They are loyal, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, all the way to the Great Song Dynasty, for nearly a thousand years, they guarded the land of the Western Regions, promoted Sinicization, and respected the Central Plains.

The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty came back from Khotan, and they all left records, saying that Li Shengtian wore Hanfu and practiced the Tang system, and Khotan was almost no different from the Central Plains.

It's rare, it's so rare!

If he didn't save the people of Khotan and keep their incense, Wang Ningan felt that he would be struck by lightning.

In any case, Khotan must be saved, and the sooner the better!

"The second brother, the Qarakhanid, is ready for the final blow, and the younger brother has arrived in the Western Regions, relying on gunpowder and bows and crossbows to defeat the people of the Qarakhanid. They will not be willing to fail, and they will definitely make a comeback! Wang Ningxuan said anxiously.

Wang Ningan lowered his eyelids, thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled faintly.

"In that case, the only way to do this is to send troops from here!"

Wang Ningxuan followed the second brother's finger and landed in the Hexi Corridor.

"Second brother, isn't this the territory of Western Xia? Will they borrow the word? ”

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "They will, as long as the price is enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done." ”

……

Li Li, uh no, it's Zhao Li!

He lived in Qinzhou for ten days, and the injuries on his body were much better, and he couldn't wait to see the situation outside, but as expected, he got lost...... Qinzhou was too big, more than ten times bigger than the largest city he had ever seen!

There are roads of similar size, and there is a lot of traffic on the roads, and even in winter, there is no sign of depression. The shop stalls on the side of the road, one by one, all kinds of dishes and snacks, wafting out bursts of aroma, make people's saliva flow for a long time.

Zhao Li still understands the truth of giving money for eating, he can only stare dryly.

It took two hours to turn, and he couldn't find his way home.

When he was anxious, someone suddenly ran over and pulled him to a teahouse.

In the seat by the window, there were already two people, a child in his early tens, and a heroic general in his twenties.

"It's Your Highness!" Zhao Li hurriedly wanted to give a salute, and Zhao Zongyuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Sit down, don't scare the guests!"

Zhao Li was surprised, but he had no choice but to sit down.

He didn't notice that Wang Ningxuan, who was on the side, lowered his eyebrows and looked flattering.

"You are Li Li, you have a younger sister named Yu Chiyan?"

If it is replaced by someone else, it must be a big-eared scraper fan, they are all brothers and sisters, how can they still have two surnames!

For Zhao Li, it's nothing, Wei Chi is the original surname of the royal family, and later changed to Li, and now it has been changed to Zhao, anyway, they are all family, there is no difference.

What surprised him was how the guy in front of him knew about Yu Chiyan, "You, have you seen my sister?" ”

"Not only have I seen it, but I also helped them fight." Wang Ningxuan briefly introduced two sentences, when he heard that there were less than 700 soldiers in Khotan, Zhao Lisheng burst into tears and begged with blood: "Send troops!" Save Khotan! ”

Gouya'er patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, in three months, the 20,000 army will rush to Shazhou in the Western Regions!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Li still didn't believe it.

Gouya'er shook his head, "Do you know how much it cost to be able to save 20,000 people from Khotan?" ”

Zhao Li was at a loss.

He stretched out his slap and shook it at him, "It's 5 million!" Cheap Li Liangzuo! ”
