Li Xianzhong smiled and said, "Does your brother know Yelu Dashi?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Of course I know that this person is a Khitan noble, Xiang is known for his military knowledge. When Liao fell, this person was the king of the Southern Court, who led the elite troops to restore the army, but was defeated by the Jin Taizu Wanyan, and thus fled far away. Two years ago, I heard that this person was recovering on the grassland, but there was no news in the past two years."

"The pedestrians have always paid attention to this person's whereabouts. Since the third year of Jingkang, this person vowed to the north of Mobei, and sacrificed his ancestors, he traveled west with Khitan and grassland tribes. He first went to Geelygis, then crossed Jinshan, and established a new country to Yemili. He claimed to be Juerkhan. In recent years, he has grown strong and the number of local Turkic tribes has increased to more than 40,000. He destroyed the Gaochang Uighurs and Karakhanate and established a new capital in Kashgar. The country's name is still Liao. This person is ambitious, and although he is not as good as Wanyan Aguda, he is still a monarch in the founding country. His Majesty is worried that this person will be in a difficult situation and even wants to restore his hometown. After seeing Hebule this time, I will lead the horse to the west and go to the Western Regions to check. As the Xiang people of our party, it is much easier than the Han people to get there. Even if there is no village building in a short period of time, you can still know the local situation."

Zhang Xian said suspiciously: "Aren't you asking you to persuade Yelu Dashi to lead troops to restore his homeland?"

Li Xianzhong shook his head and said, "This person is different from Hebule. Hebule is just a barbarian tribe. The Khitans have lived in the country for a hundred years, and the cultural relics system is no different from China. If this person knows the situation in China and knows that the Jurchens can be used to lead their troops to the east, they will be a strong enemy. Your Majesty taught me to go, and in my opinion, it is mostly a rainy day."

Only then did Zhang Xian know the purpose of this little brother. It would be fine to go to Mobei. Half a year was enough. But when you travel to the Western Regions, you still have to observe and explore the road on the spot. The journey was long, and I was afraid that you might not be able to return within a year or two. He stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xianzhong, saying, "The general went thousands of miles and worked tirelessly. It will definitely be a good move for our country."

Li Xianzhong quickly returned the salute and said with a smile: "What do you mean? We have a close relationship and suddenly became so serious."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and both returned to their seats. Li Xianzhong smiled and said, "Today, it is still a trivial matter to say goodbye to your brother. If you are going to join forces, you will raise your troops from Taiyuan in the future. Or you will go straight out of the clouds and meet with you. It is unknown. Your Majesty has already had the will to allocate all 300 Mongolian soldiers to your brother's troops. The brother should take good care of himself and learn more about Mongolian customs and cavalry and use weapons. If there are any changes in the future, you can handle it calmly."

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and learned the emperor's deep meaning.

If we only follow the Emperor Tang to attract foreign soldiers to help the war, we naturally don’t have to be so careful. “Change” in the future is the main topic. I just worried that foreign soldiers will enter the Central Plains to cause chaos. I am afraid that the emperor will go further and eliminate this powerful foreign soldiers to eliminate future troubles. Zheng pointed at the moment and replied to Li Xianzhong: “I can save it. When I meet Your Majesty in the future, I will have my own district.”

Li Xianzhong knew that he was smart and didn't need to say much. He smiled slightly and revealed this, and asked him only: "When I just entered the bill, I saw that my brother seemed to have something to worry about, but I don't know what was upset?"

Zhang Xian said: "It's not that difficult, it's just that I've been away from Taiyuan for a long time. Some of the suspense is true."

In fact, most of the troops were summoned to the vicinity of Chang'an. After the examination, the chief general led his subordinates to return to his garrison, but Zhang Xian was unable to return for a long time and only trained the newly recruited troops of the Holy Army in Chang'an. A general like him could not serve the enemy for a long time, so he was naturally worried.

I remembered that when he conquered Taiyuan that day, he had many acts against Yao Duan, and the Privy Council wanted to punish him several times. Zhao Guai stopped him. At that time, Zhang Jun had a word, such as Zhang Xian, who was domineering and illegal, and after a long time, he might be in trouble. The emperor laughed and said that he had his own punishment method after a while. At this time, he was trapped outside Chang'an City for several months and was unable to return. Not only was he responsible for training new soldiers of the Fengsheng Army, but also Gongri, the new soldiers of the Tianwu army, the chief general Guo Hao and Yao Pingzhong were also the commander in front of the palace, responsible for the security of the forbidden palace. As the commander of the Changchao Palace, the miscellaneous affairs outside military affairs

There were many new recruits in the two armies. They didn't know where they got the instruction, and they entrusted Zhang Xian with many miscellaneous things to train new recruits in the military camp. Zhang Xian wanted to refuse, but when he saw the emperor in the palace, he was scolded. The emperor even suggested that he intended to leave him from the main force of the front-line imperial guards and let him work in the Chang'an martial arts lecture hall. This scared Zhang Xian so much that he was trembling all over. Although he was also an excellent tactical general, he was rude and straightforward. He asked him to be a mountain captain in the martial arts lecture hall and educate students. This was even more sad than killing him.

So he honestly trained soldiers in the military camp every day, venting all his anger on the new recruits, recruiting tens of thousands of new Song troops, and practicing them was worse than death.

There are a lot of news recently. From the mobilization of the entire army, the emperor summoned the subordinates. In the newly established military commander, many officers were his old acquaintances. From the conversation, Zhang Xian had already discovered that the deployment of a super-large strategic plan had begun, and the entire Song Dynasty had been secretly mobilized. Although it was winter in recent months, not only did the military parades of the school, but also the roads in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jingzhu, and other places were full of large trucks transporting supplies.

Zhang Xian roughly estimated that in December of the sixth year of Jingkang, at least one million stones of food was transported to the front lines of various places. At that time, an adult man only needed seven stones of food a year to have enough food and clothing. In this way, the food, bows, arrows, swords, guns, armor and other materials that had been mobilized over several months were obviously burdened with a huge and protracted battle!

With his temperament, he was sitting in a city of sorrow, facing a large-scale war that was inactive and useless, how could he teach him not to worry?

He wanted to ask the emperor, but he knew that he had caused a lot of trouble. If the emperor had not appreciated him, he would have been dismissed from office and returned to his hometown for the people. At this time, coaching new recruits here was the emperor's intention, so he did not dare to ask for it.

After Li Xianzhong finished speaking, he was very impressed. He was also ordered to participate in the plan of Yu Yunwen and the Military Office of the Sect and the Military Department of the Sect. This matter is top secret, and a one-army system like Zhang Xian cannot be involved. Zhang Xian could only detect it with some clues. The emperor said that he was a rare general, and this person was indeed well deserved.
