It’s just that this master is hard to choose!

The place in Shazhou is a place of tigers and wolves, such as Gaochang Uighurs, Karakhan, Xixia, and even Yelu Dashi in the north.

But the latter has gone south.

It was because he had already made a big move south that the Mongolians were at ease and boldly invaded the south. Yelu Dashi left 10,000 people to continue to garrison in the Kedun City area. Then he led 20,000 cavalry to go south, aiming directly at the Karakhan, or the East Karakhan. The East Karakhan divided into two parts. The East Karakhan controlled the north of the Sir River and the Qihe River, plus Kashgar, and the capital Balashagurn, which was roughly equivalent to the Shayeye, but Yutian was also under their control. The West Karakhan controlled the river and part of the Fergana Basin, the capital Bukhara and Samarkand.

As for faith, it goes without saying.

However, at this time they were all vassals of the Seljuk Turks.

According to time, Yelu Dashi should have arrived at Ye Mili, which is the modern Xinjiang Emin...

It was from there that he began to truly conquer the Western Regions.

So he actually withdrew from the war in the East. Although he was still a Liao minister at this time, he was obviously not interested in the exiled court in Yanshan City. He was not loyal to a puppet of Wang Yue. With his mind, of course he understood that the Emperor of Liao was just working for Wang Yue in the end. But he also knew that he could not defeat Wang Yue or even the Jurchens. Even if he fought with Mengwu, it would be difficult to win a decisive battle. Since this is the case, why didn't he go to a better place to bully a group of obviously easy-to-bully opponents.

He has done a good job in the intelligence work in the Western Regions over the years. He knows very well what the gang of scumbags there are. 20,000 well-equipped Khitan cavalry are enough to sweep away these messes.

On the contrary, there is no hope to stay in Kedun City.

Because no matter who is the final winner of the Eastern battlefield, he will not tolerate him there.

But even so, the Song army who had to go to Shazhou was a lonely army to expedition the territorial territory. They not only had to face the complex situation in the local area, but also possible enemies in four directions.

Including Xixia.

This must be a real warrior.

It’s not enough to say that they are like Ban Chao, so they have to be Geng Gong for the Song Dynasty!

"Call Li Xiaozhong here, it's boring to control him now!"

Wang Yue said.

Li Xiaozhong or Li Yanxian are indeed boring at the moment.

Because the two brothers, Mr. Zhong, have retired.

By the way, the Zhong Shidao was already seventy-five, and the Zhong Shidao was sixty-seven. Now the situation within the Song Dynasty is so strange that these two old men are not interested in continuing to get involved. However, as the result of the internal division of the Western Army system, his nephew Zhong Wei was appointed as the Jingyuan Road Commander, and he was also a member of these small warlords in the Western Army system.

But the problem is that there are too many generals under the Zhong family, with more wolves and fewer meats. It is obviously not enough to have a Jingyuan road. You should know that Zhang Jun, Wu Jie, and Li Xiaozhong are all under the Zhong family. They were easy to talk about when they were fighting before, but now there is no war, and there is an immediate internal discord. Li Xiaozhong is obviously not a person like Zhang Jun who is good at flattering, nor is he a cunning person like Wu Jie.

He is a straightforward general.

so……

He was squeezed home.

In fact, with the end of the Northwest War and the warlordization, internal strife occurred more or less within the Western Army.

For example, Yao Gu obviously couldn't control the strongest Fuyanlu Han Shizhong.

Quduan has also undermined the Huanqing Road system.

Because Yao Gu is older, although he has brothers Yao Pingzhong and Yao Youzhong, these two talents are obviously unable to compare with Han Shizhong and Qu Duan. They can only rely on the monk Fang Baojian of Xuanfu Envoy, or rely on the authority given to him by Wang Yue. However, their words are not very useful. For example, Fuyan Road and Huanqing Road have actually become small warlords under him, such as him.

Especially Han Shizhong, who is also closely related to Wang Yue.

The same is true for Xinxingzong.

He has many brothers and has a direct lineman who can fight under his command, and his control is slightly stronger.

But it's useless.

For example, Qin Fenglu is actually controlled by veteran Guo Cheng, who is not outstanding in his own talent. The key is that he has a son named Guo Hao.

Xin Xingzong could not suppress Guo Hao.

Wu Jie can't do it!

In short, the Western Army had really begun to become arrogant because of Wang Yue's indulgence. This is also the reason why the brothers of Zhong Shidao died. They were too old and were really not interested in getting involved with these guys. Their old guys are a little overwhelmed and really can't suppress these young people anymore. If they don't retreat, it will be bad if they don't have a hard time.

The same is true for you to ask for.

Although he had the strongest control power in his hand, he could only control the Jinzhong Plain with Taiyuan as the core. The one who really had the final say in the Zelu area was Wang Bing.

Wang Bing still has the most elite Shengjie Army in his hand. With the support of the Zelu gentry, this army has now expanded to 20,000. In fact, they have formed a separate force. Anyway, Zheke cannot be controlled, but Wang Bing cannot be said to be a warlord, because he listened to the court, and he is the main supporter of the ministers in the court outside.

Anyway, it's just a psychological comfort.

The ministers in the court also knew that Wang Bing could not really do anything, but having such an army in Zelu would ultimately make them feel not lonely.

Anyway, this is the current Song Dynasty.

Wang Yue really controlled Hebei, Yanshan, Jingdong East Road, the imperial court nominally controlled Jingdong East Road, Jingji Road, Jingxi East Road, and Wang Bing listened to them, but in fact, as long as Wang Yue spoke, they still had to listen honestly. Then, except for the Southern Song Dynasty controlled areas, the rest were similar to warlord separatism. The Northwest system commanders did not even need the appointment of military and political officials. They all resolved the matter internally and reported to the court for approval.

This is also the result that Wang Yue wants.

He wanted the separatist warlords in the northwest, and the real danger there was no longer. Xixia suffered heavy losses after being beaten once, and at this time he could not swallow his breath.

But if you really let go of your hand and beat them, Han Shizhong could beat them up.

In fact, the horse bandits on Fuyan Road still often wander to them, breaking through villages from time to time to abduct the population, and then running to the Song Dynasty. The Xixia people had to face the elites on Fuyan Road when they pursued them. As for the population abducted by the horse bandits, they finally went there...

Of course it is Yan'an talent exchange market!

Han Shizhong is poor, how can he get rich without talent exchange?

After all, Western Xia is nothing more than a former governor of the Dingnan Army. Can the governor of the Guardian Army not defeat the governor of the Dingnan Army?

Since the security issue in the northwest is no longer a problem, Wang Yue doesn't need to worry about it. What can their warlord separatist? He wants to swing a big stick. Do these people dare to resist? He also encouraged them to become arrogant and powerful inside, so that they can continue to divide the country. In the end, he would have no courage to fight against him when he started cleaning up. Then he might as well have a glass of wine to release military power, and give some industrial and commercial benefits, such as dividing a mine in their family and part of their stocks to ensure that their descendants are rich and powerful, so that they can honestly hand over power.

If you refuse to hand over, you will be killed.

It would be nonsense to have a country that has completed the modern military system and entered the industrial era if it cannot solve such a small warlord.

As for Li Xiaozhong, he was just an unlucky person who was separatist in this warlord.

He is currently unemployed at home.

He was a close confidant of Zhong Shizhong, but he had a bad relationship with Zhong Wu. The latter listened to Zhang Jun and could not afford to offend Wu Jie. Zhang Jun and Wu Jie didn't like the upright Li Xiaozhong, and in the end everyone teamed up to exclude him.

This will allow Li Xiaozhong to go to Shazhou to start a career.

He is certainly capable enough.

He has no problem with his character. He is a good brother with Wang Yue, and he is from Longxi.

So he simply selected three thousand cavalrymen, equipped him with two horses, and then took a camel carrying supplies, and then went on an expedition or to assist the Han people in Shazhou, and quickly controlled the three states of Shaguasu. There would definitely be no problem in the future development, because he would control the commerce in the Western Regions. As Wang Yue specially sent, Xin Xingzong would try his best to ensure his logistics. Although there was no logistics in fact, Xin Xingzong could transport him to him, so he would have pitifully few military supplies, and he would have crossed a thousand miles of plateau no man's land!

Such logistics supply is just a talk.

But these warlords in the northwest will definitely support him, because this will control the trade in the Western Regions. No matter which line is chosen, they will have to go to this area. Not only the Western Regions, but even go south from Shazhou and bypass the Tubo tribes directly to India. As long as Li Xiaozhong truly controls this area, all warlords in the northwest can use his protection to carry out trade in the Western Regions and completely avoid the Xixia middleman.

After opening up Hehuang, the Song Dynasty could indeed bypass the Hexi Corridor, but when Guasha Prefectures were controlled by the Xixia people, most trade had to go to this area. The only thing that really bypassed was to go to Datun City from Qinghai and then continue to go to Khotan. But this road was a truly unmanned land of thousands of miles. Starting from Xining, you had to travel three thousand miles from the unmanned land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to Ruoqiang. This route went south to the Kekexili. Such a trade line was really better than nothing.

But it’s different to get to Guasha and the two states.

And once this plan is completed, the wealth of Xixia will be cut off. They can no longer get annual monies and are also plundered a lot. If they lose trade in the Western Regions to replenish blood, they will not take long to get civil strife.

At that time, we can take the opportunity to start. They are a good place and a good place to grow cotton.

"Then I will send orders to the Northwest Xuanfu envoys and the commanders. They must collect three thousand elite cavalry, six thousand war horses, and three thousand camels. They gather in Xining. Everyone must carry supplies and necessary combat supplies that can last at least one month. They must arrive in Xining before the end of June this year. Such good things cannot be paid to them by the court, and they must be responsible for them."
