At the court meeting, after Zhao Xu finished talking about many things about the martial arts conference, the ministers of various ministries and departments took turns to report to Zhao Xu some things that had happened in the whole country in the past few days when he was not in the court, and what interested Zhao Xu the most was the news reported by Zhou Tong, the secretary of the military department, that Yelu Shiying had established the Western Liao State in the land of the Gaochang Uighurs

"Your Majesty, after the investigation of our military department, this emperor of the Western Liao State is the Khitan prince Yelu Shiying who led the people to flee westward, after this year's development and conquest, this person has occupied half of the northern territory that originally belonged to the Gaochang Uighur Khanate, and he is still constantly gathering the Khitan tribes that originally belonged to the Liao State, and Yelu Shiying has recruited troops in the occupied land, so far, he has recruited 50,000 troops, and is still expanding, I am afraid it will not take a few years to complete the entire Gaochang Uighur Khanate, even the Eastern Kera Khanate, will all belong to the Western Liao State of Yelu Shiying. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Zhou Tong, the secretary of the military department, said to Zhao Xu very seriously with a jade wat board in his hand

Zhao Xu rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying: "When my country conquered the two countries of Jin and Liao, a large part of the reason why we won so quickly was because those two countries had almost no war horses to ride at that time, and the novel tactics, powerful weapons, and assault force of a large number of war horses used by our country defeated the two countries of Jin and Liao in a very short period of time, and even wiped out their countries and killed their race, but after the Khitan people led by Yelu Shiying moved westward, They have obtained an absolute advantage that is not available in the northern steppes of our country at present, that is, war horses, the Uighurs of Gaochang and the Eastern Kera Khanate are rich in good horses, those war horses are tall and have clear lines, both the speed of our eastern war horses, the characteristics of strong staying power, and the advantages of strong body and strong load capacity of Western war horses, combined with these characteristics, the war horses there can be said to be the most ideal mounts of heavy cavalry, which are incomparable with the war horses of our country. ”

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, all the generals above this golden palace began to look a little anxious, and Zhou Tong, as the secretary of the military department, immediately stood up and said to Zhao Xu: "In this case, the ministers and others want to ask Your Majesty what is the best way to defend against the enemy." ”

"Your Majesty's strategy of weakening the enemy against the two countries of Jin Liao back then, we might as well use it again in this Western Liao country." Liu Shihai, the head of the household, stood up and said

"It's useless to use the same scheme twice, besides, Yelu Shiying is not a fool, we have a hatred of destroying the country with their Khitans, how can he be repairing and cooperating with us, and then jump into this pit they jumped over before without hesitation, but we can use grain, grass and ordnance to support the Gaochang Uighur Khanate and the Eastern Kera Khanate, so that they can strengthen the defense of Western Liao, but this operation, we can't go too far, so as not to trap ourselves again. Zhou Qing's family of the Ministry of War, this matter will be handed over to your General Staff to do, and come up with a specific plan, so let's do it first. After speaking, Zhao Xu waved his hand, patted his ass and left

"Retreat—"

"Ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Over the years, Zhao Xu has maintained the habit of not sitting in a sedan chair in the palace, so Zhao Xu changed into the crown court dress worn by the emperor when he went to the court in the ear room of the Golden Palace, and changed into the emperor's summer clothes made for him by the Shangyi Bureau, frowned, and slowly walked to his imperial study

As for the Western Liao problem mentioned by Zhou Dong at today's court meeting, he had already realized it in his heart as early as last year when he let Yelu Shiying go, but he really could not have imagined that Yelu Shiying would be able to defeat the main force of the Uighur Khanate of Gaochang and occupy a large part of the northern territory of the Uighurs in just one year with only the thousands of troops he had gathered at that time. But fortunately, when Yelu Shiying had not moved west, he began the construction of the starting point city, and sent his henchman Qin Kaifeng to lead the army to garrison there, and after Zhao Xu personally conquered Western Xia, he was already in Yumen Pass on Gansu Road and Youchang City on Longyou Road, respectively, stationed two roads of the unified army division of the commandery, Dadao Guan Sheng and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, looking back, and then looking at the current military situation, the entire Gaochang Uighur Khanate is all surrounded by the semicircle of their elite legions, Even if Yelu Shiying completely occupied the current Gaosong Uighur Khanate and the Eastern Kerak Khanate in the future, it would be absolutely impossible for him to quickly lead his army eastward and recover the old country, unless he took advantage of the Rus' kingdoms, it would be absolutely difficult for him to advance eastward

"Little Bean, pass on the Iron Tiger to come to the imperial study to see the driver." When he was about to walk to the imperial study, Zhao Xu suddenly stopped and turned back to Xiaodouzi and said. As an emperor with extreme self-esteem and self-love, how could he allow himself to have a growing tiger by his side, even if his own country already had extremely powerful military power

"Minister, Iron Tiger, I am summoned to meet my emperor long live, long live, long live." Not long after Zhao Xu arrived at the imperial study, Tiehu hurried over

"Flatten, sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know what His Majesty ordered when he summoned his ministers. ”

After Tiehu sat down, Zhao Xu stroked his forehead and said to Tiehu slowly: "Yelu Shiying has once again established the Western Liao State with the Khitan as the notification center in the Dongchang Uighur Khanate, and in the past year since last year, it has occupied most of the northern territory of the Gaochang Uighurs. As long as we can make Yelu Shiying become anxious, and at the same time of destruction, I can easily bring back the information there, I think, I should not launch a large-scale military war in a short time, but even so, our intelligence work can not be carried in the slightest, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, can not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

"It's Your Majesty, these ministers have written it down."
