Three hundred and seventieth chapters slow down
After a shocking millions of war, both Li Liangzuo and Maliksha were well settled. After a war, both Xia and Serbia suffered heavy losses. Both sides were like wounded lions licking their wounds. In the next few months, neither the Xia and Serbia had a large-scale battle again, but conflicts between the patrol teams were inevitable. In order to avoid the battle, Li Liangzuo and Maliksha were very restrained.
"Your Majesty, the new reinforcements have arrived. This is the third batch of reinforcements. According to Your Majesty's military order, all new troops are stationed in the West City. The 300,000 troops are on standby. Please tell your Majesty." Xiao Zhuozi walked to Li Liangzuo and said.
"The army is temporarily stationed in Zaxi, waiting for my further military orders!" Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi; "By the way, has the administrative envoy sent a letter? How are the soldiers doing the pensions?"
"It's done, your majesty, don't worry about these trivial matters anymore..."
"This is the soldiers following me to fight south and north. Now they have died in the battlefield. I cannot treat their families badly, otherwise how can I feel at ease with my brothers!"
"By the way, General Chahan has written..."
Before Xiao Zhuozi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Liangzuo and said, "Speak quickly, where is Chahan now?"
"Report to Your Majesty, General Chahan is now leading his army to be stationed in the country of Khwarezm. According to General Chahan, King Nenie of Khwarezm has agreed to send troops to fight against the Serbia army with the Daxia Kingdom."
"What are the conditions?" Li Liangzuo asked plainly.
"Your Majesty is wise, and Nenie has put forward conditions, so that our Daxia Kingdom must open a trade route through Khwarezm. When Khwarezm is attacked by other countries, the Daxia Kingdom must send troops to protect it. In order to express surrender to Your Majesty, Nenie is willing to attack 50,000 Binar gold coins every year." Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo sneered: "He is not stupid. Once the Silk Road passes through the Khwarezm country, how much tax is the annual amount of hundreds of thousands or even millions. If you take 50,000 binar gold coins, you will play the game. What are your warriors? Are you hired mercenaries?"
Xiao Zhuozi advised Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, it would be very good that this situation can have such a result now. If Khwarezm defected to the Seljuk Empire, General Chahan would probably be in danger."
"Don't worry! Khwarezm dare not make things difficult for Chahan. Nenie is a smart man. Although our Xia army cannot reach Khwarezm from the south, we chose to go from the north. We told Chahan Nenie that he must pay 100,000 gold coins a year before I can form an alliance with him. After the alliance, I will not let him suffer."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
"Is there any news about Wu'er, Hanama and General Muzheng?"
"Not yet." Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo. "However, based on the information I learned from me, the logistics supply line of the Seit army seems to have always had problems in recent times. I missed myself that it might be done by His Highness the King of Qin and Mahjong Hua."
"Where is the place where the Serbian army was robbed?"
Xiao Zhuozi walked to the front of the map and pointed at the location and said to Li Liangzuo: "Please look at your Majesty, the supplies of the Serbian army have been hijacked in these three places."
"This area is already located south of Tiemen Pass. Termi is the bridgehead for the Serbian army to enter the Western Regions and an important logistics turnover base for the Serbian army. Those who can operate in this area are either Wuer, Huama and Muzheng." Li Liangzuo said thoughtfully. "In this way, Xiao Zhuozi, you send a secret spy to draw a circle of hundreds of miles in each radius with these three points as the center. Where these three circles overlap, they should be their hiding place. In any case, you must try your best to find them clearly?"
"Yes, the slave understands."
"Send someone to Khotan to call Chang'er. I have something to look for him. I have been idle for so long, so I should let him put some effort into it." Li Liangzuo said with his eyes fixed on the map.
In fact, a huge plan was brewing in Li Liangzuo's mind at this time. Since he did not have an advantage in the combat effectiveness of the army, Li Liangzuo had to start from strategy. The result of head-on battle caused heavy losses to the elite Xia army under Li Liangzuo. Such a huge loss made Li Liangzuo heartbroken. At this time, Li Liangzuo was no longer so arrogant. In the subsequent war, Li Liangzuo hoped to exchange the greatest victory at the smallest price.
In the headquarters of the King Dai of Khotan, Li Bingchang has been working as a cold bench here since he came to Khotan. Not to mention that Li Bingchang had not seen even a single enemy of the 100,000 troops under his command. The war ahead was in full swing. Li Bingchang repeatedly asked for orders to go to the battlefield, but Li Liangzuo refused.
Since the outbreak of the Honghe War, Li Bingchang found that the caravans passing by Khotan had significantly decreased. Li Bingchang knew that the war ahead had a great impact on the Silk Road. Today, the Daxia Kingdom was established by archery, horses, rural commerce, and the status of merchants was at the same level as that of peasant soldiers. This was an example in Chinese history. Most of the taxes of the Daxia Kingdom came from business. Relying on this Silk Road, Li Liangzuo's willingness to march west was also to control the middle section of the Silk Road in his own hands.
"Your Majesty, it's already late at night, you'd better take a break soon!" The attendant next to him said to Li Bingchang.
Li Bingchang looked at the map and asked the attendant: "I can't sleep, you go down first!"
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside. Soon a Xia army messenger with a small red flag came in and said, "Your Majesty Shengyu, Your Highness Xuan Dai went to the West City to see you."
Li Bingchang immediately knelt on the ground and answered the order, "My son will accept the order."
After receiving the military order from Li Liangzuo, Li Bingchang did not dare to be negligent at all, and immediately set out to see the west. Li Bingchang knew that since he had not seen him before, he must have had an extremely important combat mission at this time. For Li Bingchang, the most eager thing is opportunity. As the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom and the son of Li Liangzuo, it is a lie to say that he has no desire to compete for the throne. Compared with Li Wu, Li Bingchang has not been favored by Li Liangzuo since childhood. Although Li Bingchang didn't know why, Li Bingchang knew that if he wanted to become the crown prince, he would need to work harder than Li Wu, so Li Bingchang needed opportunities more than Li Wu.
Li Bingchang led hundreds of guards to raid 800 miles in two days at the fastest speed. When Li Bingchang arrived, Li Liangzuo had just arrived and inspected the camp! Following Li Liangzuo was Li Yue, who was Li Liangzuo's adopted son, and now he is Li Liangzuo's son-in-law, so he is also caring for Li Yue and Li Liangzuo.
"Son of my son, please see my father." Li Bingchang knelt down and bowed.
"I've been working hard all the way, so go and have a rest first! I'm summoning you later."
"Thank you, my son will give up."
After Li Bingchang left, Li Liangzuo asked Li Yue: "Yue'er, these 300,000 troops have been well trained. Now this army is almost done, but there is a difficult task waiting for you. I'll listen to your opinions."
