"That's right, it's time to re-establish the Western Region Protectorate!"
Yunchong looked at a large roundabout curve on the map: "What does this mean?"
"The Hetao Grassland and the Heshuo area are both natural horse farms. As long as the Western Region Protectorate is established, the angle between the Hetao Heshuo Grassland and the cities of Ganzhou, Jeju, and Suzhou will be like a piece of fat in the corner of the mouth. It will be lost to the hands of the Turkic royal court for a hundred years.
It’s time to take it back! And there is also a place to train cavalry!”
Dongfang Ming straightened up from the map: "Capture the Western Region war horses to deal with the Turkic war horses?"
"Yes, the countries in the Western Regions that have been separated from the Han family for many years must return to the hands of Dalong to cope with the trend of Turkic unification. Once the Turkic grasslands are unified, there will be a decisive battle with Dalong. You all know in your hearts that our war horses
They are simply not as good as the Turkic war horses, especially in field battles, so we must capture the Western Regions and rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate!"
The six arrogant people looked at each other cautiously for a while, but no one dared to speak.
Liu Dashan took the situation and handed the six written pieces of rice paper to each of the six people: "Seniors, please take a look at it first and then make a decision!"
The six of them took the rice paper and looked through it in confusion, comparing it with the map prepared by Liu Mingzhi from time to time.
After half a stick of incense, he looked at Young Master Liu arrogantly and cautiously: "How many troops do you plan to send?"
"Two hundred thousand is enough to deal with the separatist countries in the Western Regions!"
"Your Majesty is in seclusion for self-cultivation. Without his will, who would dare to make the decision on such a big matter privately?"
"Yes, according to what you said, it is indeed a hundred benefits without any harm. Although your Golden Dragon Order can summon the six of us, but without His Majesty's will, no one dares to make the decision without His Majesty's will to send troops to the Western Regions. Even the Golden Dragon Emperor's Order cannot
No, the token can represent His Majesty, but the token is never His Majesty!"
Yun Chong pursed his lips: "As long as Heshuo and Hetao can be recovered, it is indeed a long-term solution for Dalong to send troops to the Western Regions, but without His Majesty's will, who would dare to send troops!"
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and looked to the east: "Then let's see if our Crown Prince has such courage!"
General Nangong Ye of the Flying Eagle Guard looked at Liu Mingzhi with a confused expression. As Li Baiyu's uncle, one can imagine the pressure on him.
"Seniors, it will take some time for His Highness to reply. I hope you can prepare an army of 200,000 in advance!"
Zhang Kuang frowned: "Well, let the six of us discuss it!"
"Okay, farewell!"
.............
"Mother, something big has happened. My brother-in-law plans to send troops to the Western Regions!"
The prince held a piece of rice paper in his hand and hurried towards the queen's palace.
Nangong Meng, who was embroidering, was startled and quickly looked up at the prince: "Sent troops to the Western Regions?"
"That's right, Queen Mother, look at this as a letter from your brother-in-law!"
Nangong Meng hesitated for a while but finally started to read the letter in Li Baiyu's hand. After reading the content, Nangong Meng was silent for a long time, looking a little entangled and struggling.
"Yu'er, do you still remember what your father asked Eunuch Zhou to pass on to you?"
"Of course I remember that as a king, you should remain calm in the face of danger and conquer mountains and rivers with great power. You should not stick to old conventions and customs, but you should dare to pioneer and innovate!"
Nangong Meng took a few deep breaths: "My child, do you believe your brother-in-law?"
Li Baiyu pondered for a moment and nodded: "I know that although my brother-in-law has not openly sided with him, he understands that he is always loyal to Dalong!"
Nangong Meng patted Li Baiyu on the shoulder: "Yu'er, whether you can become a peerless hero that surpasses your father depends on your decision!"
Li Baiyu was stunned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, Li Baiyu's eyes showed a firm look.
"The army leaves Yumen Pass to the west!"
Nangong Meng nodded with satisfaction: "Go and summon Duke Wu Wan Buhai and Duke Jing Yunyang to discuss matters. Mother, I believe you can do it!"
"Yes, I am resigning!"
During this period, the prince actually received a letter from Li Zheng, and Li Zheng strongly agreed with this matter.
With the support of his father, Prince Li Baiyu, with the support of his father for a month, issued an order using the prince's seal against all the pressure and with the support of two old princes and more than 20 generals.
The Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang assembled a main battle force of 200,000 and an auxiliary force of 200,000 and marched west from Yumen Pass to attack the thirty-six countries in the Western Region.
The undeclared war between the countries in the Western Regions left tens of thousands of dead bodies floating away, making the military generals so frightened that they could not wait to rush to the border to fight the enemy.
Li Baiyu solemnly covered the jade seal on the proclamation for begging thieves. He glanced at the brothers in the hall who had expressions of reluctance, smiled slightly, and put the proclamation into a bamboo tube.
"Old Zeng, summon the Hongzheng messenger!"
"yes!"
Li Baiyu walked up to the Hongling messenger in person: "Eight hundred miles to rush to Ganzhou, change horses but not people, be sure to hand the document into the hands of the regent Liu Mingzhi!"
"yes!"
Li Baiyu returned to the Dragon Platform again: "Master Liu is taking command to conquer the Western Regions. Your masters must do everything in detail, prepare troops, and have sufficient supplies of food and grass. Don't slack off!"
"Follow the order!"
"The Golden Eagle sent a message to General Liu Wei to assemble the entire army in Ganzhou!"
"Follow the order!"
On November 26, the first year of Dalong Ruian, everything goes well!
Liu Mingzhi walked out of the room with his armor in full. Although he did not expect that he would lead the expedition, it was his suggestion to send troops to the Western Regions. The prince's documents had already been accepted and he couldn't go!
Song Qing held the tiger talisman and saw Young Master Liu coming out with a resentful look on his face: "Third brother, can you die without me? I have to go on an expedition with you again!"
Young Master Liu shrugged helplessly: "With the Six Guards General here, I didn't expect that I would be the leader of the expedition. Now it's impossible not to go! I didn't expect that Your Highness really has such courage!"
Dongfang Minglong quickly walked up to Liu Mingzhi and arranged the armor for Young Master Liu: "Boy, there is a long way to go. In the five-month training period, you have already trained the 200,000 troops assembled by the Six Guards very well.
I'm waiting for your triumphant return by setting up a glass of wine!"
"General Dongfang, take care!"
Liu Mingzhi rode towards the outside of Ganzhou City on horseback. It was the first time for Young Master Liu to see the 400,000 people lined up. Even in the Kingdom of Jin, the number of rebels that Young Master Liu actually fought at hand-to-hand combat was only over 200,000 people.
Or the number of enemies.
Now that he personally commands an army of 400,000, Young Master Liu's state of mind can be imagined.
There is so much pride in heaven and earth!
Looking at the invisible 400,000-strong army, Liu Mingzhi held the Heavenly Sword, took the handsome seal from Song Qing's hand, and raised it high!
"See the Marshal!"
"See the Marshal!"
"See the Marshal!"
The powerful wave of shouting directly cut through the sky and spread out to the horizon!
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath. It would take about three months to go to the Western Regions in November. The melting of the ice and snow in the coming year would be the best time to go to the battlefield.
"Serve the wine!"
Hundreds of guards shouted in unison: "Serve the wine!"
The orders were passed down layer by layer, and it took half an hour for the 400,000 troops to get a bowl of wine in each hand. Even so, all the wine in Suzhou City, Ganzhou, Jeju, and Suzhou was consumed.
Liu Mingzhi took the wine bowl sent by his bodyguard and raised it: "After drinking home wine, go west to Yumen Pass and make great achievements!"
"Make great achievements!"
"Make great achievements!"
"Build the industry!"
The 400,000 troops drank all the wine in their hands, but no one smashed the bowl in their hands to the ground, because they knew that their commander would definitely feel distressed.
"Blow the drums and blow the trumpets!"
The sound of drums mixed with the sound of horns made the people of Ganzhou City excited.
It has been many years since the Dalong soldiers crossed the border.
Liu Mingzhi enthusiastically took the flag fluttering in the wind from the guard's hand and waved it.
"Send troops to the west!"
Murong Shan, who was dressed as a bodyguard on the side, looked at Young Master Liu's high-spirited look with a bright red face, her eyes full of tenderness.
