"The two scribes are Uncle Zhang Kuang and Uncle Nangong Ye. The two marshals together sent a message to the golden eagle at the imperial court.

As usual, Brother Wei read through the contents of the letters and immediately sorted out two documents.

By the way, the original letter between the two uncles was also included on the last page of the document.

As for the content of that letter, I don't know.

The bottom of the envelope is specially marked as this letter, which is a private message to your third brother, so it is naturally inconvenient for me to open it."

Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly, first put the letter aside, then leaned on the chair and opened one of the documents.

After reading the contents of the document carefully, Mr. Liu's face gradually became excited.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Song Qing saw Liu Mingzhi's excited expression and repeated good wishes, and took a sip of tea with a calm face.

He seemed to have already guessed that Mr. Liu would definitely have the reaction he had now after seeing the contents of the document.

Liu Mingzhi picked up another document and read the contents with excitement.

"Great, great."

Young Master Liu placed the two books on the desk, picked up the tea beside him, stood up and walked towards the huge map next to the bookshelf.

Seeing this, Song Qing also got up and followed him.

Liu Mingzhi stared at the map in front of him in silence for a long time, then looked at Song Qing aside with a faint smile.

"After more than three years, our elite Dalong soldiers have finally established a firm foothold on these two vast territories.

After the foundation was solidified, Uncle Zhang Kuang and Uncle Nangong Ye led the left and right armies of the Western Expedition.

As well as the Second Route West Expedition Army commanded by this guy Dingbang, if you want to continue marching westward and use troops in the future, you will have no worries."

Song Qing gently chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, and glanced at the map in front of him sadly.

“In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed.

More than three years have not been easy for the soldiers of the Western Expedition!"

Liu Mingzhi put the tea cup aside, raised his arm and clicked on the map, and his fingertips gently wandered over the territories of Tianzhu, Dashi, and Rome.

"Tianzhu Kingdom, Dashi Kingdom, and Roman Kingdom, the combined territory of these three countries covers an area of ​​several million.

In just over three years, the soldiers have opened up a territory worth millions of dollars for our dragon. It is indeed not easy.

However, it's all worth it."

"Third brother, I have a question that I want to ask you. I don't know if I should answer it?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"Aren't you afraid that the history books will leave you with a reputation as a foolish king who went to war and wasted money and people?"

Liu Dashao's body trembled, and his fingertips lightly roamed around the map for a long time.

"Brother, we can decide for ourselves what is right and wrong.

However, I believe that our descendants will give us a fair review."

"Maybe that's the case. From a long-term perspective, brother Wei is far behind you.

I hope what you say can come true."

"Yes, I will."

Liu Mingzhi put away his finger that was pointing at the map, picked up the tea cup cheerfully, turned around and walked towards the desk.

"If this situation continues to develop, in a few years, my name, the dragon, will be completely written on those three territories."

Song Qing lit a pot of dry smoke next to the stove, walked to his seat and sat down with a slight frown on his face.

"Why wait a few more years, according to the contents of the two uncles' documents.

We can now replace the territories of Dashi, Tianzhu, and Rome with the name of our Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty."

As Song Qing spoke, he opened his tobacco bag and gestured to Young Master Liu.

"Third brother, would you like a pot?"

"No, I already smoked it when I was chatting with this guy Li Tao in the palace."

"Okay, I'll put it away for my brother's sake."

Liu Mingzhi sipped the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth and gently fiddled with the tea lid in his hand.

"Now, although our Dalong soldiers in the Western Expedition have established a firm foothold in those vast territories, there is one thing we can do but have to admit.

That is, the people living in those territories are still mainly barbarians from the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, Dashi, and Rome.

In that vast territory, only the number of Yi people still occupies a dominant position.

This means that the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty has not truly brought that vast territory under the governance of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.

In this way, anything can happen!"

Song Qing took a long puff of dry cigarette, and a cold light flashed through his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Third brother."

"Huh? Big brother?"

Song Qing was silent for a moment with a hesitant look on his face, then raised his hand and made a horizontal motion towards his neck.

"Why don't you send a letter to Uncle Zhang Kuang, Uncle Nangong Ye and the two old marshals, and order them to directly..."

Young Master Liu saw Song Qing's actions and instantly understood what he meant.

Liu Mingzhi shook his head silently, crossed his legs casually, and leaned on the chair with a lazy expression.

"Brother, judging from the current situation, this is certainly the best way.

However, in the long run, doing so is tantamount to digging your own grave."

"Third brother, what you mean is that acting like this may break the current stable situation and arouse the resistance of the Yi people."

"This is just one of the reasons, not the main reason."

"Huh? Is there any other reason?"

Liu Mingzhi folded his hands in front of his chest and said decisively: "Food, this is the main reason.

Whether it's killing people or slaughtering cities, it's not a big deal at all to my Dalong soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles in the Western Expedition.

To put it simply, it's just a matter of picking up the knife and dropping it.

But what happens after killing people and massacring the city?

I, Dalong, have soldiers from the two western expeditions to my left and right, soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate and the allied forces from the countries in the Western Regions, and soldiers from the second western expedition army commanded by this guy from Dingbang.

The combined strength of the four armies is more than one million soldiers!

Looking at it from another perspective, they are not only my Dalong soldiers, but also my Dalong people.

More than one million soldiers, plus various war horses, ox carts, horses, etc. were consumed.

How much grain does a person need to consume in a day if he eats horse chews?

Big brother, you are also a soldier, so I don’t need my little brother to talk to you."

Song Qing's body trembled, and he nodded with a frown.

"Brother, I understand this."

"So, it is easy to kill the barbarians and common people.

And then, where will more than a million people go to get food and grass?

Should we mobilize it from our treasury? Or order the kings of the Western Regions to support us?

In a short period of time, the difficult situation was overcome.

But what about a long battle?

Such a long journey, even if it completely consumes our treasury and the treasury of dozens of countries in the Western Region, we will not be able to supply it.

Brother, tell me yourself.

What will happen if more than one million people have no food to eat?

In the end, what will happen to the great cause of the Western Expedition?"

Song Qing leaned over and knocked out the ashes in the brazier at his feet, shaking his head with a complicated expression.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore.

Your eldest brother and I are not the material."

"Brother, brother, I am more anxious than you.

But no matter how anxious you are, things like opening up territory and expanding your territory must be done slowly and step by step."

"Third brother, no matter what, I will always be your pawn.
