Li Yuanhao agreed, but if he agreed, it didn't count, and this matter was finally decided by Li Qianshun, the emperor of Western Xia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yuanhao said goodbye and left, he did not leave Chang'an directly, but went to see Li Renxiao first.

Li Yuanhao told Li Renxiao about the construction of the harbor that Zhao Shuo said, and Li Renxiao didn't think about it, so he raised his hands in approval. In addition, he also strongly encouraged Li Yuanhao to return to Anqing as soon as possible and report the matter to Li Qianshun, in order to promote this matter as soon as possible.

With Li Renxiao's encouragement, Li Yuanhao had confidence, and after saying goodbye, he quickly stepped up and went straight to Anqing.

When Li Yuanhao returned to Anqing, Zhao Shuo received news from the Hexi Corridor that the Mongol army had swept through the Eastern Qarakhanid.

"This Mutuo, I thought this guy would return to Mongolia around Xiliao, but I didn't expect this guy to be so fearless." After Zhao Shuo heard Zhang Chujiu's report on the news, he was also surprised.

In Zhao Shuo's view, Mu Tuo in the battle of Western Liao, although invincible, the loss is not large, but the long battle, should be tired, at this time, the most important thing must be to return to Mongolia to recuperate, as for the next expedition, that is after the rest.

But who would have thought that Muto didn't think about the problem of rest at all, and directly attacked the Eastern Karakhanate.

"Attacking the Eastern Qarakhanid, attacking the Eastern Qarakhanid......" Zhao Shuo, who couldn't figure it out, muttered to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he sensed something was wrong.

Even if the Mongols relied on this raid to obtain grain and grass, they would not be able to stand the war all the time. When the Mongol army left Western Liao, there were about 4780,000 people, and it would not be easy for so many people to return to Mongolia quietly.

They had to eat and drink, and they should have had little left, which means that Muto's attack on the Eastern Qarakhanid was completely helpless, in order to replenish food and grass.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo laughed.

"Lord, do you know what the situation is in the Mongol attack on the Eastern Qarakhanid?" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu, who was reporting the news.

"This, the place of the Eastern Qarakhanid, we have not taken it seriously before, so not many informants have been sent there, when the minister came, the informants who followed the army into Liaodi and the informants of the Hexi Corridor have been mixed into the Eastern Qarakhanate, I believe that it will not be long before the news can be transmitted back." Zhang Chujiu gave an explanation, and at the same time, he also reported his decision to Zhao Shuo.

"Chu Jiu, you did a good job this time!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo scratched his chin and said with a smile. "On the ninth day of the first month, your intelligence department will keep an eye on me for twelve hours, and as soon as there is news of the Eastern Karakhanid, it will be sent immediately."

"Yes!" Zhang Chujiu saluted and was about to retire.

"Wait a minute, bring me Wu Yashi, I have something to tell him." Zhao Shuo added a sentence when Zhang Chujiu was about to leave the door.

"Yes!" Zhang Chujiu saluted again, then took his leave and left.

The time was short, and Wu Yashi hurried over.

"Lord Wang, are you looking for me?" Wu Yashi asked.

"Do you know about the Eastern Qarakhanid?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"When Zhang Chujiu found the minister, he mentioned it to the minister for a while, saying that the Mongols had begun to attack the Eastern Qarakhanate." After a pause, gasping for breath, Wu Yashi continued. "Lord Wang, this shouldn't have anything to do with us!"

"How can it be okay!" Zhao Shuo looked at Wu Yashi.

"Lord Wang, don't you have an agreement with Mongolia? They guard all the merchants along the way, protect our interests, and the merchants pay taxes, are these all fake? Wu Yashi was completely stunned.

"Of course there is. But that's a win-win, win-win, you know, it's not just good for us, it's good for Mongolia. This is not just good for us, it will also make Mongolia stronger. Zhao Shuo looked at Wu Yashi. The Mongols are now very strong, and if they continue to grow stronger, they will always be able to stand up to us, and at any time, this behemoth will stab us in the back. ”

"What the prince said also has some truth, but the Western Liao is just north of the Eastern Karakhanid, if we make a move, and the Mongol army goes north to attack the Liaodi, then we won't lose it." Zhao Shuo said very vaguely, but Wu Yashi already understood that Zhao Shuo was going to make a bad move. Wu Yashi agreed with secretly giving Mongolia a look, but at this moment, he was worried.

The garrison of Western Liao only had more than 20,000 people brought by Zhao Shuo, and the local Liao army was useless with this platoon in a short period of time. If Zhao Shuo stimulates Mongolia too much at this time, and Mongolia and Zhao Shuo start a full-scale war, Liaodi will inevitably be a battlefield. This is a huge blow to the development of the area controlled by Zhao Shuo and the development plan designated by Zhao Shuo.

"Strategist, I think you're thinking too much!" Zhao Shuo looked confident. "If Mongolia dares to go to war with us head-on, I will dare to send people everywhere to encourage the tribes and countries occupied by the Mongols to become independent. When the time comes, I'll see who is unlucky in the end. ”

Wu Yashi didn't expect Zhao Shuo to keep such a hand, and after admiring Zhao Shuo, he said. "Then how is the prince going to do it?"

Zhao Shuo raised his head slightly. "Sell weapons."

Listening to Zhao Shuo's words, Wu Yashi frowned. "Isn't it too easy to reveal our identities with weapons?"

"When weapons are produced, they are sold, what is there to expose their identity, and the Great Song Dynasty also provided small cannonballs to Mongolia? What's this, if Mu Tuo can't even accept this, then he, the Mongolian emperor, will not be a good one. Zhao Shuo said very casually.

Zhao Shuo's face was casual, but Wu Yashi frowned, Zhao Shuo's words, he believed it, but he was still not at ease. After all, if Zhao Shuo guessed wrong, then Zhao Shuo's control area would fall into war.

"Believe it or not, Strategist!" Seeing Wu Yashi pondering, Zhao Shuo nudged him. "As long as I sell small cannonballs, this wooden pallet must be a big buyer, believe it or not."

"Lord Wang, this ......" Wu Yashi shook his head slightly. Obviously, he really couldn't believe Zhao Shuo's words.

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet." Zhao Shuo looked at Wu Yashi, and then said the purpose of looking for Wu Yashi. "This time, I want to open an arsenal in Xiliao, and I hope you will be in charge of this."

"Do you want me to go myself?" Wu Yashi asked.

"You don't need to go in person, you just send a few trustworthy people, and this matter, talk to Xixia, if there is anything, they can send troops to protect it." Zhao Shuo patted Wu Yashi's shoulder. "You keep an eye on it, but don't go, although I have confidence, there is still a risk, you are my military advisor, you can't have anything."
