Yelu Dashi, Li Hu heard Yelu Dashi's name.

Li Hu turned his head and looked at Hailasu, and Hailasu also happened to look at him. Li Hu signaled with his eyes, and Hailasu walked over in three or two steps, "Master, Aung Angxi just said that Yelu Dashi was fighting with the Xizhou Uighurs in Gaochang area. Caotou Tatars and Huangtou Huihe retreated quickly, and it was heard that it was related to this matter."

"Yelu Dashi arrived in the Western Regions?" Li Hu was very surprised, "This news is accurate?"

"I heard from Ang Ang Xi that Yelu Dashi crossed Jinshan (now Altai Mountain) two years ago and occupied a large area in the Western Regions. Because we launched a western expedition to attack Helan Mountain, the Dangxiang army in Hexi could no longer provide support to the Xizhou Uighurs, so Yelu Dashi took the opportunity to launch an attack."

"So, are the Caotou Tatar and the Yellow-headed Uighurs planning to rob by fire?"

Hailasu had a thick eyebrows slightly raised and said with a smile: "What? The general is also interested in robbing the fire?"

Li Hu shook his hand, "It's about 2,000 miles to go to Gaochang, and the army has no conditions to launch an expedition, so don't even think about it, so you should prepare to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible."

At dusk, Li Hu and the generals admired it. After the beautiful sunset in the Gobi Desert, he returned to the military camp with unsatisfactory feelings. That night, Li Hu summoned Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong and others to discuss the defense of Hexi, and talked about Yelu Dashi in the middle. Li Hu was a little worried. He knew Yelu Dashi's ability. If Yelu Dashi captured a large territory in the Western Regions and rebuilt the Great Liao Dynasty, then in the future, the Tiger Marine Army would be another Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions, which was really hard to let go.

When Yang Weizhong heard the name of Yelu Dashi, he was furious. When the Northern Expedition, the Song army was defeated in two battles, and it was defeated by Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi. Xiao Gan was dead, but Yelu Dashi was still there. The hatred of the past still had a chance to take revenge, and the shame of the past still had a chance to be bloody. How could Yang Weizhong miss it? Today, most of the generals in the northwest participated in the Northern Expedition, and they were basically the commanders of the first army, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi, Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Wang Yuan, Yang Zhi, Zhao Ming, Wang Ju, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Zhang Jun... A series of dazzling names all had a deep blood hatred with Yelu Dashi.

Yang Weizhong heard Ang Angxi mention it today. After Yelu Dashi, he immediately asked carefully. He had already thought of revenge in his heart. So when Li Hu took the initiative to mention Yelu Dashi, Yang Weizhong immediately suggested that he would form an alliance with the Gaochang Uighurs in the north and a alliance with the Khotan in the south, and then extend his hand into the Western Regions first.

The Western Regions are now divided into three parts, with the Xizhou Uighurs to the north, the Khotan to the south, and the Onion to the west of the Ridge. The Black Khanate is also called the Karakhanate. Yelu Dashi is located in Yemili City, northwest of the Black Khanate. (That is, now Emin County, Xinjiang, about 600 miles northwest of Karamay City.) It is said that when Yelu Dashi entered the Western Regions, he used the Xizhou Uighurs to pass Gaochang, advanced west along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and settled in Yemili City. Then he began to attack the East Karakhan area as a territory.

Li Hu thought for a long time and agreed to Yang Weizhong's suggestion.

"Before I pacify the southeast and unify Zhongtu, the court has no financial resources to support the expedition, we can only stick to Hexi and ensure the safety of the northwest." Li Hu instructed, "As long as Gaochang is given enough support, I believe that the expansion of Yelu Dashi can be curbed. Our army should not enter the Western Regions to fight unless it is absolutely necessary."

"But we have two coyotes around us." Yao Pingzhong sneered, "Cao Tou, Tatar and Yellow Tou Uighurs will frequently invade when they see us not sticking to each other, which will bring great hidden dangers to the stability of Hexi."

Li Hu smiled and shook his head. The victory of the Western Expedition made these Northwest people re-establish strong self-confidence. Today, not to mention insufficient finances, even if they give them ten thousand people, they dare to fight out.

"You are the Grand Governor of Hexi, who is in charge of the military and political affairs of Hexi." Li Hu pointed to Yang Weizhong and said, "I will hand over Hexi to you today, so you will be fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Hexi. If you want to fight the Tatars and the Uighurs, you must win, don't defeat the war, don't embarrass the Chinese."

Yang Weizhong and Yao Pingzhong were overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

Today's Chang'an court is indeed different from the Bianjing court in the past. For Yang Weizhong and Yao Pingzhong, what I felt most deeply was that their status has improved and their power has increased. Especially when fighting, the commander was the commander's decision, and there was no such thing as the slightest elbow. The great victory in the Western Expedition was directly related to the national policy of "priority of civil and military affairs and separation of military and political affairs". It was precisely because of the abandonment of the national policy of "using culture to build military affairs" that the military generals, especially the front-line commanders, obtained all the power to command the battlefield. They can give full play to their full strength and use all their strength to win.

In mid-May, under the order of Li Hu, Yao Pingzhong guarded Guazhou, Qu Jin guarded Baihai, Yang Weizhong guarded Ganzhou, Yang Keshi led his army to withdraw to Lanzhou, Zhang Gaoer led his army to Lingzhou, and Hailasu led his army to return to Central Plains.

Li Hu led the two thousand tiger guards to Daibei day and night.

During this period, Li Hushu told Chang'an, asking the Privy Council to formulate a plan for the Central Plains War as soon as possible, attack Shandong at the right time, seize the Jianghuai River, and strive to fight south next spring.

Li Hu returned a letter to Luo Sinan, Li Gang, Huang She, Changsun Kangning and others, asking the governments to shelve the disputes, seek common ground while reserving differences, and work together to raise money and grain to ensure that the attack can be launched smoothly on the battlefield of the Central Plains.

In June, Li Hu arrived at Wulahai City and met with officials from the Hulien Mansions, including Yelu Mage, Ma Liang, Xiao Monk Nu, and the Khitan Prince Mansion who came to greet him.

Li Hu couldn't wait to ask about the situation in Daibei.

Yelu Ma Ge introduced in detail. After Gao Baolong returned to Taiyuan, he assembled Dugu Feng, Li Jin, Jie Qian and Lu Junyi's army to launch a ***tour towards the Jin army in Hebei. At the same time, Wang Yan led his army to attack Handan from the direction of Huguan. Wanyan Zongfu was unable to resist and lost the important pass of Jingzhi. The failure of the Jin army in Hebei led the Jin army in Youyan to support quickly. In desperation, Wanyan Gao had to give up attacking Juyongguan. The Juyongguan crisis was resolved, and the Tiger Lie Army in Datong and Fengshengzhou immediately went north to meet the Khitan army, and the three groups attacked Yuanyanglu. Zonghan did not dare to fight to the decisive battle and led his army to withdraw.

According to Li Hu's order, after Yelu Mage returned to Daibei, he immediately sent people to enter the desert and invited Zubu, Wugu, and Dili to join the alliance. For several months, the people in the west, the people in the east, Wugu, Dili, and Shiwei all sent envoys to the Khitan King's Mansion, but the people in the north have not yet heard back.

The Beizhubu people live on the east and west ends of Lake Baikal, which is too far away from Yinshan Mountain. In terms of time, it is normal to have no echo. The deserts that can participate in the alliance are basically the Fan tribes belonging to the Southwest Great Liao Dynasty Zhaoyaosi, and are also the real targets of Li Hu's alliance.

"Is the Jurchen peace consortium coming?" Li Hu suddenly asked.

Yelu Mage nodded without hesitation. The Jurchen envoy made peace talks not yet Chang'an, but went to the North to discuss peace talks with the Khitans. The purpose of the purpose can be imagined. Li Hu was not sure, so he asked casually, but Yelu Mage had no intention of concealing it and nodded directly, which made Li Hu's vigilance stronger.

If Yelu Mage deliberately concealed it, Li Hu thought he was quite afraid of him, but now Yelu Mage directly admitted that this can only show two problems. Either Yelu Mage feels that his wings are hard and can fly alone, or use it to express his loyalty to Li Hu. However, Li Hu believes that it is the former. With Yelu Mage's character, his biggest goal in his life is to restore the country, rather than betraying the former master and charging forward for Li Hu loyally.

"First it's Gao Qingyi, then it's Yang Pu." Yelu Ma Ge looked calm and could not see anything unusual. "Yang Pu came from Huanglong Mansion, and Wu Qimai also named me a king." Yelu Ma Ge sneered, "Wu Qimai is an idiot. At this time, he still regards himself as the master of Beifeng. He can send me a chance to be named as a king. It's so funny."

Li Hu glanced at him and asked, "They are still in your royal palace?"

"It's still here," said Yelu Mage. "Your next goal is the Jurchens, so I think you should want to meet them."

Li Hu smiled and nodded, "What do you think of the alliance between the monks?"

"The fact that the Tiger Lie Army defeated the Dangxiang people and destroyed the Daxia Kingdom has spread throughout the desert. The wilderness was shocked. No one was willing to offend you at this moment and create a terrible strong enemy for themselves." Yelu Ma Ge smiled, "My Khitans are rising again faster and faster, occupying the north and south of Yinshan Mountains, and supporting Middle-earth, posed a powerful threat to the wilderness in the desert. This is also an important reason why they have to participate in the alliance."

Li Hu pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and asked again: "Which foreigner has the sincerity to form an alliance?"

"Of course it is the Xizhubu people." Yelu Mage said, "Xizhubu and the Uighurs in Xizhou confront each other across the Tianshan Mountains, and directly bordered the northwest border of Zhongtu. From this we can see that they have the greatest sincerity to form an alliance. Dongzhubu people and Wugu, Di Lie, and Shiwei people are adjacent to the Jurchens, and they are in a hesitant stage. Obviously, although the purpose of the alliance between Zhongtu and them is not to help me re-control the desert in order to restore the country, they must join forces to deal with the Jurchens. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Jurchens are destroyed, it will only harm and not benefit them. Therefore, if the general wants to persuade them to form an alliance and deal with the Jurchens together in this negotiation, it may cost a considerable price, which is enough to impress them."

"Impress them?" Li Hu laughed, "What should I use to impress them?"

Yelu Ma Ge's expression was slightly calm and he didn't say anything. This was the one he was most worried about. He was worried that Li Hu would impress Zhufan, who was swaying with his position by selling the interests of the Khitans, so he deliberately tested Li Hu.

"It is well known that the Khitans want to restore the country. The Jurchens are now working hard to move south, with their targets directed toward the Middle Earth, and seemingly unintentionally unify the desert. In this case, what do you think I can use to convince Dongzhubu and Wugubin Lie and other foreigners?"

Yelu Ma Ge still didn't speak.

Li Hu looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you have any news about Yelu Dashi?"
