Behind the army, Zhao Shuo and Li Yuanhao sat looking at each other, and Zhao Shuo said with a little mystery. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Brother Li, brother, I found a rich deal, do you want to participate?" ”

Seeing Zhao Shuo like this, Li Yuanhao pondered for a while before saying. "Brother Li, you can't afford to be early, if you let your brother participate, you won't be planning anything!"

"Hey~!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand and said. "Brother Li, this is a bit hurtful. What's wrong with my brother, I won't cheat you! ”

"Brother Li, I have suffered a lot this time. Do you want to be practical first? Li Yuanhao glanced sideways at Xia Jun, who was already very embarrassed after a long battle in the distance, and then said this to Zhao Shuo.

Li Yuanhao's meaning is obvious, this time, Xixia has helped Zhao Shuo so much, should Zhao Shuo say something.

"Brother Li, you're going to see the outside!" Zhao Shuo laughed. "This expedition was only sent by Li Renxiao, the crown prince of Great Xia, and I sent troops, and your prince took a letter from your emperor Li Qianshun. If you look at me, you can see that it was your request, but I immediately raised 300,000 troops, and rushed day and night. Do you know how much suffering I have endured and how many sins I have suffered along the way, so that I arrived here at the last moment of crisis. If you want to be practical, shouldn't you Xixia have something to say? ”

Zhao Shuo looked at Li Yuanhao, not only did not answer his question, but instead asked a rhetorical question. This question directly stunned Li Yuanhao.

What Zhao Shuo said was true, and it was indeed done that, but the result was not what Xixia thought. In the eyes of Western Xia, Zhao Shuo sent troops to drive out the Mongol army, and Western Liao had been weakened, and Western Xia could negotiate with Western Liao at this time, unite, and even merge Western Liao into Western Xia, so as to make Western Xia strong.

But the realization is that everything that the Western Xia envisioned has been in vain.

"Brother Zhao, but this ......" Li Yuanhao looked helpless, there are some things that can't be said explicitly. Because, Ming said that it hurt feelings, and Xixia couldn't hurt feelings with Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo knew what Li Yuanhao wanted to say, he sighed and said. "This is also no way, I told the queen of the Liao State to let them merge into the Western Xia, but they are not happy to live or die, they said that Mongolia is strong, and it has to be incorporated into my control area, you think about it, at this time, what can I do, if I don't agree, they are ruthless and take refuge in Mongolia, then for us, it is a big loss."

Zhao Shuo said it simply, but it meant something. That means that it is better for Western Liao to take refuge in me than to take refuge in Mongolia.

This time, Li Yuanhao really couldn't refute it. Western Liao took refuge in Zhao Shuo, and Western Xia was surrounded by Zhao Shuo's forces, although it could not be expanded, but on the contrary, it was completely safe. But if Western Liao took refuge in Mongolia, then the situation of Western Xia is really difficult to say. Whenever the Mongol army is happy, they will come here to harass it, and with the national strength of Western Xia, they can't afford to spend it with Mongolia. When the time comes, I have to ask Zhao Shuo for help. At that time, asking Zhao Shuo for help, I am afraid it was not just a matter of sending troops, it is likely that Western Xia would be the same as the Li Dynasty, the Kerebu, and the Jin State, and eventually become a state capital under Zhao Shuo that enjoyed a high degree of autonomy.

Thinking of this, and thinking about the current situation, although it is a little unpleasant to be surrounded by Zhao Shuo's territory on all sides, at least Xixia has kept it.

"Brother Li, I can't talk about you!" After a pause, Li Yuanhao said again. "Didn't Brother Li just say, is there something wrong with me? That's not what you just said, is it? ”

Zhao Shuo smashed his mouth twice, and then pointed at Li Yuanhao. "It's all you, I almost forgot all the big things."

Zhao Shuo's expression suddenly became serious. "Do you know how many troops I've brought with me this time?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo's words, Li Yuanhao was directly stunned. What is the big deal that can make Zhao Shuo ask such a simple question that everyone knows. Zhao Shuo sent 300,000 troops to rescue Western Liao, which was something that everyone knew, including the retreating Mongols.

Li Yuanhao hesitated for a while, and then replied very unconfidently. "Isn't the soldier brought by the prince 300,000?"

Facing Li Yuanhao, who had no confidence, Zhao Shuo smiled and stretched out two fingers. In Li Yuanhao's opinion, when it was 200,000, Zhao Shuo spoke. "More than twenty thousand."

"What?" This time, it was Li Yuanhao's turn not to be calm. Leading more than 20,000 people to rush out to confront the 500,000-strong Mongol army is simply looking for death.

"It's more than 20,000, if you don't believe it, you can watch it for a while." Zhao Shuo said very sincerely and helplessly. "300,000 troops, it's impossible to think about it, so many troops, how long does it take to assemble, and how much does it cost to carry grain and grass, Li Renxiao told me that Xixia and Xiliao will provide me with grain and grass, I sent someone to Xixia to ask first, the few are pitiful, and the news from Xiliao is even more speechless, and there is no food."

Zhao Shuo got up and patted Li Yuanhao on the shoulder. "Brother Li, you said that in this case, can I bring an army of 300,000? If you bring it out, you won't be starved to death. ”

Although what Zhao Shuo said was true, Li Yuanhao was still a little difficult to accept such a thing. "Lord Wang, aren't you afraid of death? More than 20,000 people? If the Mongols had known that you had only brought such a small number of soldiers, they might have torn you apart alive! ”

"Hahaha...... This Mongolian is impossible to know the drop! Zhao Shuo said very confidently.

"I really don't understand, where did you get the confidence." Li Yuanhao shook his head.

"Brother Li, you shouldn't have thought of it!" Zhao Shuo said.

"Of course I didn't expect that in the territory of Western Xia, but I found a large number of troops led by you, and now I say more than 20,000 people, who can believe it." At this moment, Li Yuanhao still didn't fully believe Zhao Shuo's words.

"It was because I led the army to Western Xia and saw the poor grain, so I decided to bring fewer soldiers and horses." Zhao Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said quite helplessly.

"Lord Wang, you were going to tell me a big deal just now, what is it!" Li Yuanhao didn't want to be entangled, so he asked the key point directly.

"Oh!" Zhao Shuo scratched his nose and asked very mysteriously. "Brother Li, do you want to get rich?"

Li Yuanhao was really speechless about Zhao Shuo's words that did not match the preface, but in order to know what Zhao Shuo wanted to say, he still nodded. "Who wouldn't!"

Zhao Shuo leaned forward and whispered to Li Yuanhao. "Brother Li, my navy has discovered a large amount of gold mines overseas, are you interested, unite!"

"A lot of gold?" Li Yuanhao's eyes widened. "How many, where?"

"Look at you like that!" Zhao Shuo whetted Li Yuanhao's appetite. "If you want, follow me to Chang'an, and then I'll tell you what's going on!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo turned around and walked towards the army assembled in the distance.
