…

The 300,000 troops that participated in the World War this Western Expedition did not go together.

Fearing that he could not reinforce the expeditionary army led by Yue Fei in time, Li Yan ordered Wu Lin to lead a hundred thousand troops to reinforce the expeditionary army first.

After a while, Li Yan listened to Liu Qi's suggestion and sent a hundred thousand troops to escort weapons, supplies, food, supplies, and civilians in batches.

As for Li Yan and the remaining 100,000 troops, they stayed and prepared slowly.

For Dazhong, the biggest problem in this battle is not fighting, but supply, which even directly affects the victory and defeat of this battle.

In order to ensure victory, Li Yan collected war horses and camels across the country.

fortunately!

Dazhong had just destroyed the Jin and Mongolian tribes, and had a large number of war horses and camels.

Therefore, without much effort, the Privy Council collected two million war horses and three hundred thousand camels for Li Yan.

In addition, Li Yan recruited another million reserves to serve as a supplement to civilians and expeditionary forces.

In addition, in order to ensure that there is no problem with supply during this expedition, Li Yan ordered Chen Kangbo to form a Transportation Department composed of hundreds of officials, and appointed Chen Junqing and Yu Yunwen as Deputy Transportation Envoys.

Using the talents of three prime ministers and one hundred officials formed the Transportation Department, it can be seen that Li Yan was serious about the supply.

While doing these things, Li Yan also transferred half of his personal army, Jiefan and the Bai army, and then distributed them equally to his sons who went to Central Asia with him, so that they could recruit some people based on these people, and then each formed a personal army of 3,000 people.

These personal soldiers are the basis for Li Yan's sons to settle down in their respective small countries in the future.

As for where Li Yan's sons go to make up for the three thousand people, Li Yan has no rigid regulations - this is their army after all, so Li Yan asked them to think of a solution first. They could think of the best way. Unexpectedly, Li Yan asked them to recruit in the reserve.

Finally, Li Yan personally selected more than 100 capable civil servants including Zhu Shengfei, Shi Hao, Zhe Yanzhi, Yelu Dashi, Wanyan Chang, Qin Hui and others to go to the west to go to him.

By the way.

After Nanchu was destroyed, Qin Hui was also caught in Tokyo and Bianliang and put on house arrest.

Qin Hui, who has not yet completely turned evil, is quite popular. The key is that he is really capable. Therefore, many people recommend Qin Hui to Li Yan. The first release of the New Bayi Chinese website

But because the two were Lianqiao and Li Yan hated Qin Hui very much, even though so many people recommended Qin Hui to Li Yan, Li Yan still put Qin Hui under house arrest for three years.

Later, Qin Hui, who was unwilling to live like this for the rest of his life, asked many people to ask Li Yan, and later even shamelessly entrusted him to his ex-wife Wang.

There were too many people who pleaded for Qin Hui. Li Yan also considered that although Qin Hui's character was not very good, Qin Hui's ability was unquestionable. Otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty, which had only a little bit of land, would not be as rich as his governance. Therefore, in the end, Li Yan left Qin Hui by his side and became a high-level scholar.

but--

Unlike Li Yan's other high-stakes who were successively sent down by Li Yan, Qin Hui followed Li Yan for six or seven years and made countless constructive suggestions to Li Yan, but Li Yan still had no intention of delegating Qin Hui.

Gradually, Qin Hui also realized that he could rely on Li Yan's wealth and honor, but he would no longer have the opportunity to take power.

At first, Qin Hui was of course very unwilling to accept it.

But over time, Qin Hui gradually figured it out. With his connection with Li Yan and his past things, it was already very good that he could end up with this.

Furthermore, to be a high-level consultant for Li Yan, he can participate in national affairs, show his ambitions, and display his talents. The new 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer:/

Therefore, Qin Hui finally put down his burden and tried his best to give Li Yan advice.

Given Qin Hui's good performance, Li Yan personally acted as a matchmaker and asked Qin Hui to marry a distant cousin of Wang's family, which completely eliminated the previous grudges between the two.

There are too many unknown facts during this Western Expedition, so Li Yan also brought Qin Hui, who was extremely capable and had no bottom line in doing things.

In addition to bringing many capable officials, Li Yan also brought thousands of young talents - Li Yan was preparing to let them do odd jobs and broaden their international horizons.

Among them is Lu You, who is only sixteen years old this year.

Lu You is the first in the current academic year and the top scholar.

Therefore, Lu You was recruited as his son-in-law by Li Yan and transferred to him, trained him himself, and asked him to help him write poems to commemorate his Western Expedition.

...

In the autumn of the first year of Dading.

Li Yan led a group of civil and military personnel, and a 100,000 army finally boarded the train to Dingyuan City.

Hundreds of trains walked in a mighty manner for more than four days, and Li Yan and his group finally arrived in Dingyuan City.

Dingyuan City, a quiet city in the Western Regions, became lively because more than one million people suddenly poured in.

Unfortunately, these more than one million people are just passing by in a hurry.

The million civilians soon carried a large amount of weapons and supplies, and food and supplies, together with millions of war horses and hundreds of thousands of camels, and were escorted by a hundred thousand troops.

After Li Yan and his group and a 100,000 army arrived in Dingyuan City, they did not stay here for too long. Then Wu Jie personally led 100,000 Western Army to escort them all the way to the Pamir Plateau.

The Pamir Plateau is a Persian word, meaning flat roof, and in China it is called the Pamir Mountains, where the Silk Road passes through.

The Pamir Plateau is located in the southeast of Central Asia and the westernmost end of China, spanning Tajikistan in later generations, China and Afghanistan-Pamir Plateau spans southwestern Xinjiang, southeastern Tajikistan, and northeastern Afghanistan. It is a huge mountain knot that meets the Kunlun Mountains, Karakoram Mountains, Hindu Kush Mountains and Tianshan Mountains.

It was the first time Li Yan was here in two lives.

Therefore, Li Yan couldn't help feeling strange.

Li Yan wanted to write a poem to express his strange emotions at this time.

But Li Yan scraped his stomach for a long time, but he didn't even hold it up.

In the end, Li Yan could only let the people he brought to write a few poems as a souvenir.

Among them, Lu You did the fastest and best - Li Yan's order, not long after, Lu You wrote a song "Long Song": I don't envy riding a crane into the blue sky, I don't envy the wise ruler in front of the Eagle-crowned king, I hope to die less, and see the Pinghu Nian. Once the Hu movement declined, I sent to Sang Qianchuan to death, Hu Xingdan was light, and the dragon court was flying smoke. Xichen crossed the Paoling Mountains, east to guard Korea, the towering capital of the Heavenly King, the nine tripods lay the ravine, and all the nations were in Weiyang, and jade and silk came together. Yellow-headed clown, defiled my king's meeting. All the punishments were not nameless, not enough to bother with the sword, and returned you to herd the sheep by the Liao Sea.

This song "Long Song" was deeply rooted in Li Yan's heart, and Li Yan ordered people to carve it on a huge stone to commemorate his personal mission to Central Asia.

The terrain of the road to the west is high and low in the east, making it difficult to move west but easy to get out east.

The Alasan Pass and the Ili River are important passages for its westward journey. From here, it is the flat Western Siberia and then the Eastern European Plain. It is the main passage for ancient Chinese nomadic forces (the Huns in the fifth century AD and the Mongols in history) to enter Central Asia and Europe.

This time Li Yan went to the west, and he also went here.

The Yili River Basin is extremely strategically important - since ancient times, the Yili area has been the key to Western transportation, and Arab and Indian civilizations have entered China from here.

Therefore, after the first expedition to the West, Li Yan asked the Fifth Military Region to send 10,000 troops to garrison here, which was also the frontier in Li Yan's heart.

After leaving here, Li Yan and his party entered Central Asia in a simple manner.

The world war has begun...
