...

Fighting a world war at this time?
Li Yan was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

Well, there are many reasons.

First of all, Li Yan has decided to stop external expansion - Li Yan feels that the territory owned by Dazhong is already big enough, and there is no need to grab the territory in Central Asia, which is beyond reach.

Secondly, the greatest wealth in Central Asia is resources, such as oil and natural gas, but now Dazhong already has resource-rich Siberia. No matter how fast it develops, within 200 years, there will never be a shortage of resources, and after 200 years, it is not certain whether large and medium-sized enterprises will survive. Therefore, there is really no need to fight Central Asia, and it can be fought again Wait decades.

Thirdly, and most importantly, this battle is definitely not easy to fight—not that the army in Central Asia can fight it, but that the front line is too long, even if the Dazhong Railway has been laid to Dingyuan City, The hand has reached into the Western Regions, but the territory of the Western Regions is so large. The key point is that Central Asia is still on the west side of the Western Regions. With such a long front and hundreds of thousands of troops, how can we guarantee supplies?You must know that the Chinese army is not the Mongolian army. It hardly needs supplies. All problems can be solved by relying on horses and looting. The Chinese army is very dependent on logistical supplies.

But if you want to say that you don’t want to fight this battle, just being driven back by people from the Iraqi world and the Muslim religion in such a despondent way, where will the face of Dazhong, the first empire in the world, be? The key is whether this will make Iraqi People in the world and the Muslim religion feel that Dazhong is easy to bully, and then push their noses on their faces?

Not long after, Li Yan, who couldn't make up his mind, received another urgent memorial from Yue Fei.

This time, Yue Fei said in the memorial that the Sultan Sanjar of the Seljuk Turks wanted to gather 100 million troops to fight against Dazhong in the name of jihad, and to completely drive Dazhong out of Central Asia.

Obviously, the matter got serious and developed in the direction that Li Yan least wanted to see.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yan backed down, it would definitely fuel the arrogance of Yi World and Mu Religion.

At this time, many of Li Yan's sons, such as Li Xiu in the Northeast, Li Ji in Guiyuan City, and Li Xu in Beining City, all used various channels to pass on to Li Yan. Then he asked Li Yan to send troops to Central Asia.

Li Yan felt very strange that his sons were so enthusiastic about sending troops to Central Asia.

Therefore, Li Yan called Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and other officials over, and asked them what was going on?

When Li Yan asked, Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and others did not publicly tell the reason, but later they asked to see Li Yan separately, and then told Li Yan the truth.

turn out to be--

Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Xu and others have already seen that they will not be able to get the big and medium country, so they want to retreat and get the second best.

And from Li Yan's series of deployments, Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Xu and others can see that Li Yan has no intention of dismantling Dazhong.

As soon as this time came, Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Xu and others naturally moved their ideas to Central Asia, hoping to become a little king there.

in fact--

Not only Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Xu and others, but also their followers and their relatives hoped so - after all, only in this way can these people have a chance to stand out.

In addition to helping Li Yan analyze the thoughts of Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Xu and other princes, Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and others also tactfully persuaded Li Yan to take down Central Asia and entrust these princes out, saying that only in this way can the Large and medium stable.

In fact, many of Li Yan's sons now have quite a lot of power. If they are not handled properly, this is indeed an unstable factor.

But in the eyes of Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and the others, blocking is worse than sparse, and they can't be blocked anymore, so it's better to let them all out, and the situation is stable.

Although what his sons want is different from what Li Yan wants to give them, because of the limited layout, they don't understand what Li Yan thinks.

but--

Because Li Yan has enough sons, there is little influence between the two.

Furthermore, what Li Yan wants to give to his sons may not be what they want. After all, in the eyes of many people, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Moreover, Li Yan understood that whoever the neighbor is, can't be completely safe, unless it is one of his own.

Of course, it is impossible for one's own people to be safe and secure forever.

But then again, how can anyone be safe and secure in this world?

But at least, if Central Asia is entrusted to his sons, there should be a period of stability. Taking a step back, they should not fight before his death.

That's enough, what more bike?
The most important thing is that Li Yan is not only an emperor, but also a father!
Regardless of his status as emperor, as a father, Li Yan had to think about his sons. He couldn't let them all become Li Cun's stepping stones, and he couldn't sacrifice all his sons for Li Cun's son.

Therefore, Li Yan decided to fight this world war and capture Central Asia.

Soon, Li Yan ordered that the Privy Council mobilize 30 elites (another 50 troops were prepared to be on standby at any time), and transferred Liu Qi and Wu Lin back, and he wanted to drive himself again.

To be honest, this time Li Yan actually didn't want Yujia's personal conquest this time, because even if Li Yan looked young, he was still 50 years old, and this time Yujia's personal conquest was different from the last one.

The last time, Li Yan was just putting on a show. First he lived in Liaoning City for a while, then in Beijing City for a while, and finally in Yongning City for a while. on vacation.

But this time is different, just the distance, this time is much farther than last time, not to mention the mountains and ridges in the middle, but also through the desert, the most important thing is that this time there is a real war.

But after thinking about it, Li Yan still decided to go on this imperial conquest.

First of all, this war involves religion. This kind of war is often the most troublesome, because many religious people are fanatics. Fighting with them is likely to be endless. Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be done solely by war. , must be supplemented by political means, even religious means, and it would undoubtedly be better for Li Yan, who has a better understanding of religion, to take the helm himself.

Of course, this reason is not the most important. Li Yan can send some competent officials who know how to deal with religion to handle these matters instead of him. At most, Li Yan can talk to these competent officials.

In fact, Li Yanyu's personal conquest was mainly for his sons.

If the fight goes well this time, then Li Yan will divide the territory for his sons. No one can replace Li Yan in this kind of thing. Too much or too little is inappropriate. If you are not careful, you may burn yourself, and even arouse hatred between Li Yan's sons and the forces behind them. Li Yan divides it himself, no matter how he divides it, it makes sense. More, less, No one dares to complain, even if there are complaints, they have to hold back, otherwise, not only will they not be able to get money, but they may even be killed. Of course, Li Yan must try his best to be fair and just.

Therefore, for the sake of his sons, Li Yan had to make this trip himself.

After the order was promulgated, Li Yan brought his adult sons one by one to discuss their wishes with them.

To put it bluntly, Li Yan asked them if they would like to be the king of a small country in Adam?

In the future, it will become more and more obvious that Li Cun will succeed Li Yan as the emperor of Dazhong. Even now, Li Yan has already let Li Cun take charge of the country's highest power in Dazhong—now, Li Yan will let Li Cun decide on political and civil affairs Li Yan just stood behind Li Cun, looked after Li Cun, helped Li Cun stand up and cheered those ministers who dared not listen to Li Cun, and helped Li Cun go through the most difficult period of time, plus Li Cun also He is really excellent, and he does everything without leaking water. Therefore, some of Li Yan's ambitious sons gave up taking the heir apparent.

Under this premise, for these ambitious sons of Li Yan, the best choice is to go to the king of a small country in Adam.

Therefore, many of Li Yan's sons expressed their willingness to become the king of a small country in Zhong Adam.

Of course, there are those who are unwilling, such as Li Yan, Li Da, etc., who have developed well and have no ambition to become the king, so they are unwilling to go to Central Asia to start anew, and some are lazy, like Li Ang and Li Xu, who are not willing to go to Central Asia. Willing to worry about that, suffer that and be the king of a bigger, smaller country.

Li Yan respected the choices of his sons and would never interfere—if he didn't want to go to Central Asia, he could just let them go, and it would be fine if he just spent his whole life waiting to die.Those who are willing to go to Central Asia will all go to Central Asia with themselves after a while...
