Chapter 884 World War ([-]) (Please subscribe!)

...

The 30 troops who participated in the World War in the Western Expedition did not go together.

Afraid of not being able to reinforce the expeditionary force led by Yue Fei in time, Li Yan ordered Wu Lin to lead an army of [-] to reinforce the expeditionary force first.

After another period of time, Li Yan listened to Liu Kai's suggestion, and sent another [-] troops to escort weapons, supplies, and civilian husbands in batches.

As for Li Yan and the remaining [-] troops, they stayed and prepared slowly.

In this battle, for Dazhong, the biggest problem is not fighting, but supply, which even directly affects the victory or defeat of this battle.

In order to ensure victory, Li Yan recruited horses and camels across the country.

fortunately!

Dazhong has just destroyed the Dajin and Mongolian tribes, and has a large number of horses and camels.

Therefore, without much effort, the Privy Council collected 200 million horses and 30 camels for Li Yan.

In addition, Li Yan recruited another 100 million reserve troops to serve as supplements for civilian husbands and expeditionary forces.

In addition, in order to ensure that there would be no supply problems during this expedition, Li Yan ordered Chen Kangbo to form a transshipment department composed of hundreds of officials, and appointed Chen Junqing and Yu Yunwen as deputy envoys for transshipment.

The use of three prime ministers and one hundred officials to form the transshipment department shows that Li Yan is serious about the supply.

While doing these things, Li Yan transferred half of his pro-military Jiefan Army and Tabai Army each, and then distributed them equally to the sons who went to Central Asia with him this time, letting them use these people as the basis, Then recruit some people each, and then each form a pro-army of 3000 people.

These pro-military forces are the basis for these sons of Li Yan to settle down in their respective small countries in the future.

As for where Li Yan's sons will go to make up for the 3000 people, Li Yan has no hard and fast rules - this is their army after all, so Li Yan first let them figure out their own way, the best way they can think of is really unexpected, Li Yan Just let them recruit in the reserves.

In the end, Li Yan personally selected Zhu Shengfei, Shi Hao, Zhe Yanzhi, Yelu Dashi, Wan Yanchang, Qin Hui and more than 100 capable civil servants to go west with him.

By the way.

After Nanchu died, Qin Hui was also arrested and put under house arrest in Bianliang, Tokyo.

Qin Hui, who has not been completely blackened, has a good popularity. The key is that he is really capable. Therefore, many people recommend Qin Hui to Li Yan.

But because the two were linked bridges, and Li Yan hated Qin Hui very much, even though so many people recommended Qin Hui to Li Yan, Li Yan still put Qin Hui under house arrest for three full years.

Later, Qin Hui, unwilling to live his life like this, entrusted many people to beg Li Yan, and later even brazenly entrusted him to his ex-wife Wang Shi.

There are too many people pleading for Qin Hui. Li Yan also considered that although Qin Hui's character is not very good, Qin Hui's ability is unquestionable. He was so rich, so in the end Li Yan kept Qin Hui by his side and became a high-ranking member.

but--

Unlike Li Yan's other high-ranking officials who were successively sent down by Li Yan, Qin Hui followed Li Yan for six or seven years and gave Li Yan countless constructive suggestions, but Li Yan still had no intention of sending Qin Hui down.

Slowly, Qin Hui also saw that he could rely on Li Yan to be rich, but he would no longer have the chance to take power.

At first, Qin Hui was of course very unwilling.

But after a long time, Qin Hui gradually figured it out. With his bridge relationship with Li Yan and the things he had done in the past, it is already very good for him to end up like this.

Furthermore, as a senior counselor for Li Yan, he can also participate in major national affairs, express his ambitions, and give full play to his talents.

Therefore, Qin Hui put down his burden in the end and tried his best to advise Li Yan.

In view of Qin Hui's good performance, Li Yan personally acted as a matchmaker and let Qin Hui marry a distant cousin of the Wang family, which completely settled the previous grievances between the two.

There are too many unknown facts in this Western Expedition, so Li Yan also brought Qin Hui, who has extraordinary ability and has no bottom line in doing things.

In addition to bringing many capable ministers and officials, Li Yan also brought thousands of young talents—Li Yan planned to let them do odd jobs along with them, and broaden their international horizons by the way.

Among them is Lu You, who is only 16 years old this year.

Lu You is the No.1 of Jinke, the number one scholar.

Therefore, Lu You was recruited by Li Yan as his son-in-law, and he was transferred to his side to train him himself. By the way, he also asked him to write poems for him to commemorate his western expedition.

……

In the autumn of the first year of Dading.

Li Yan led a group of civil and military troops and an army of one hundred thousand finally boarded the train to Dingyuan City.

After hundreds of trains traveled for more than four days, Li Yan and his party finally arrived at Dingyuan City.

Dingyuan City, a quiet city in the Western Region, became lively because of the sudden influx of more than 100 million people.

It's a pity that these more than 100 million people are just passers-by.

The 100 million civilian husbands, together with millions of war horses and hundreds of thousands of camels, were escorted by an army of [-] to send a large amount of weapons, luggage, and food supplies to the west.

Li Yan and his party and the [-] troops did not stay here for too long after arriving in Dingyuan City, and then they were sent to the Pamir Plateau under the escort of [-] Western troops led by Wu Jie himself.

The Pamir Plateau is Persian, meaning flat-roofed house, and China calls it Congling, where the Silk Road passes.

Congling is located in the southeast of Central Asia, the westernmost point of China, and straddles Tajikistan, China, and Afghanistan—the Pamir Plateau spans the southwest of Xinjiang, southeast of Tajikistan, and northeast of Afghanistan. The huge mountain junction where the Lakorun Mountains, the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains meet.

In two lifetimes, Li Yan came here for the first time.

Therefore, Li Yan inevitably had some strange emotions in his heart.

Li Yan wanted to write a poem to express his strange emotions at this time.

But Li Yan searched his stomach for a long time, but he couldn't even hold back a fart.

In the end, Li Yan could only ask the people he brought to write a few poems as souvenirs.

Among them, Lu You was the fastest and the best. Not long after Li Yan's order, Lu You composed a song "Long Song Xing": I don't envy riding a crane to the blue sky, and I don't envy the equestrian crown. May you die less on credit, and see the new year of Ping Hu.Once Hu's luck declined, Sang Qianchuan was sent to death, Hu Xing was dim, and Longting was flying smoke.Xichen crosses the Congling Ridge, and the East guards over North Korea. The majestic capital of the heavenly kings, the nine tripods lay on the stream, and the dynasty of all nations is still young, and the jade silk comes together.Yellow-headed clown, pollute my Wanghui chapter.It is not nameless to be punished, and it is not enough to bother you. I will return you to your old job of shepherding the sea in Liaohai.

This "Long Song Xing" won Li Yan's heart, and Li Yan ordered someone to carve it on a huge stone to commemorate his personal expedition to Central Asia this time.

The terrain of the road going west is high in the east and low in the west, making it difficult to go west and easy to go east.

The Alashan Pass and the Yili River are the important passages for its west exit. From here, you will go out to West Siberia, which is a flat plain, and then the Eastern European Plain. It is the entry of ancient Chinese nomadic forces (the Huns in the fifth century AD, and the Mongols in history). The main channel of Central Asia and Europe.

This time Li Yan marched westward, and he went here as well.

The Ili River Basin is extremely important strategically - since ancient times, Ili has been the hub of western transportation, and civilizations such as Arabia and India entered China from here.

Therefore, after the first western expedition of the Expeditionary Army, Li Yan asked the Fifth Military Region to send [-] troops to station here, and this is also the frontier in Li Yan's heart.

After leaving here, Li Yan and his party officially entered Central Asia.

World War has begun...
