Qian Heng also thought a lot about the discussion just now, and the key point was his concern about the situation on the Mediterranean coast.

Qian Heng's history is too bad, Qian Heng has no impression of the history of the countries bordering the Mediterranean, and even which is the strongest country in the West now, Qian Heng is confused.

Therefore, the first time he opened up the trade route, Qian Heng thought about a very important question, who to send to be able to figure out the situation over there, only by understanding the current situation in the West, Qian Heng can make the next step.

Qian Heng was not too worried about the current situation in the Uighurs, as the men under his command were more than enough to deal with the tribal intrusion within the Uighurs.

After thinking a lot, Qian Hengcai said, "Regarding opening up the Uighurs and reaching Persia and even further regions, I have an idea, I need to find someone who understands the Western language, in addition, Dong Qing and Yang Zaixing can be the leaders of this westward trip to explore the situation in the West, we can only do our business better if we figure out the current consumer demand over there!" ”

Qian Heng used business as an excuse for only one purpose, that is, to find out what the current situation of the West is.

Dong Qing and Yang Zaixing, who have been doing this kind of opening up new markets outside, have a strong ability to collect external information.

Therefore, if you want to explore the current situation in the West, Dong Qing and Yang Zaixing are the best candidates.

After determining the candidate, Qian Heng was not in a hurry to arrange the time for travel, especially now that it has entered winter, the road is dangerous, and it is not a good time to travel.

According to Qian Heng's request, when the spring of the second year begins, Yang Zaixing can go to the West with Dong Qing to explore and open up a way.

In addition to the planning of the westward expansion of the Uighurs, Qian Heng also began to rearrange the layout of the territory of the Suide army.

Because it occupies the land of the entire basin of the Mingtang River, the land area under Qian Heng's command is unprecedentedly large, so the place that needs to be managed is also several times larger than before.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Qian Heng wants to borrow troops from the Zhejia Army.

Before setting off for the Huihu Trade Road, Qian Heng did not plan to let Yang Zaixing go in the short term, in addition to Yang Zaixing, Dong Qing also needed to stay in Yongle New City to discuss the next business issues.

So the top general in the Wushuhai was replaced by Liu Zidi, after Liu Zihuang came to the Suide Army, most of the time, he was helping to train soldiers and horses, especially several times of harassment on the Western Xia border, Liu Zihuang fought happily, and he could return with a complete victory every time.

So Qian Heng didn't think much about it, so he arranged Liu Zidi's side to the Wushuhai side.

One is that Liu Zidi's ability is not to say, and the other is that Qian Heng has regarded the Wushuhai Sea as his private territory, and does not plan to operate it as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Qian Heng himself also has a plan to establish a new station on which side.

Once the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division is destroyed, Qian Heng should also consider going there to open up a new home.

Because the situation of the Tibetan tribes has been basically stabilized, although they are still fighting everywhere, Xu Jian and Liu Zhengyan have already arranged a lot of dark lines within the Tibetan tribes, at least for the situation of the Tibetan tribes, Qian Heng can grasp it at any time.

Qian Heng once asked Liu Zhengyan if he wanted to help Liu Zhengyan ask for merit, and when he talked about it in detail, Qian Heng realized that Liu Zhengyan had given up on the Great Song Dynasty, and Liu Zhengyan didn't care about Qian Heng's desire to help him apply for military merit awards and improve his official rank.

Even the idea of resigning from his current official position has been considering, and it is precisely for this reason that Qian Heng did not force anything, but just arranged Liu Zhengyan to continue to be sent to Xining Prefecture to pay attention to the movements of Tubo at any time.

And Xu Jian was left by Qian Heng to help Qin Hui manage the territory of the Suide Army, which had expanded several times.

Wu Jue and Wu Ling only continued to focus on training soldiers and horses.

After more than a month in a row, Qian Heng finally waited for the discount to come over again.

However, while this discount brought good news that he agreed to borrow troops, it also brought a bad news that surprised Qian Heng.

The Liao State has sent troops!

The Liao people actually sent 20,000 soldiers and horses, wanting to fight with the Western Xia, the east and the west, and launch an offensive against the Mingtang River occupied by Qian Heng.

Qian Heng was entangled in his heart.

Although Qian Heng's history is very poor, it is still clear that the Liao State has reached this stage, except for the Song army led by Tong Guan and the Song Dynasty who want to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and has only formally clashed with the Great Song Dynasty a few times, there is absolutely no possibility of sending troops and horses to attack Western Xia.

Western Xia and Liao are now the strongest alliance, although now Qian Heng has taken advantage of the geographical advantages of Mingtang River to completely incorporate the southern half of the transfer between Western Xia and Liao into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Qian Heng didn't know if it was because of his appearance that Western Xia and Liao would collude again to deal with him.

Since the Liao people sent troops and wanted to deal with themselves, Qian Heng had only one choice.

Qian Heng asked again, "Chief, let me ask you, do you know who the generals of the Liao soldiers are this time?" ”

Zhe Kecun smiled and said, "Of course, if I don't know who the other party is, how can I come to see you, Lord Qian?" ”

Qian Heng nodded and smiled, just looking at the fold and saving.

There is nothing to hide, "Actually, the one who led the troops this time is still a prince-level existence, named Yelu Xi Nilie!" ”

"What? Is it him? ”

Qian Heng was stunned on the spot.

Zhen Kecun was also a little surprised and asked, "Master Qian, do you know this Yelu Xi Nilie?" ”

Qian Heng smiled at this time, shook his head and said, "I don't know it, but I have heard this name a few times, as far as I know, this Yelu Xi Nilie, or the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State, whether it is status or background, it is not too good, but it is a good opportunity to catch up, he was sent to Xijing Datong Mansion to take office, and gave a King Zhao, whether it is identity and level, there is no difference between him and other descendants of Emperor Tianzuo, especially this Yelu Xi Nilie, and there is an official position left in Xijing, and now he is not guarding in Xijing, What did you do when you ran out to us? ”

Zhen Kecun didn't expect Qian Heng to be so clear about the situation in the Liao Kingdom, and bowed slightly in admiration, "Lord Qian is really strategic, and he even knows so much about the situation in the Liao Kingdom, but I know a little bit about why this Yelu Xi Nilie was sent to attack us, and now several military divisions in Western Xia are also becoming ready to move, and they want to compete with you, my lord!" ”

Of course, Qian Heng knew that he would definitely attract the serious hatred of Emperor Li Qianshun of Western Xia, and it was almost certain that he would send troops to himself, but he didn't expect that he would unite with the Liao State to deal with him.

Thinking of the cooperation between the Liao State and the Western Xia, Qian Heng suddenly remembered that Yelu Dashi was still staying in his station, thinking of this, Qian Heng hurriedly greeted and asked people to invite Yelu Dashi, and Qian Heng also wanted to figure out what was going on.
