Listening to Li Guangdi's words, Li Laiheng showed an excited look on his face, these northwest men, were originally from Xiliang, that is, the people in today's Jiuquan Yumen Pass, known as the Qiang people during the Three Kingdoms period, and followed Ma Chao to defeat Cao Cao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Later, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xiliang Li clan was established. Later, the Tang Dynasty arose, and Liangzhou was also incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang people of Liangzhou were called Dangxiang people.

The Qiang people have multiple branches, Sichuan and Qinghai have Qiang people, the Qiang people in the northwest are called Dangxiang people, and the Li family established the Western Xia. Later, after the fall of Western Xia, some party members entered Shaanxi. And Li Zicheng claims to be a descendant of the Li family of the party.

Go back to the northwest, fight outside the Yumen Pass, and restore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, these conditions naturally made Li Laiheng tempted.

Li Laiheng hadn't answered yet, but Liu Tichun, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Although Zhao Liangdong is defeated, it is not easy to deal with!" There are many fortified cities in Guanzhong, and if our army sends troops from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, it must pass through Chencang. However, the small city of Chencang is unusually strong, our army lacks siege weapons, and even more lacks siege artillery, how to capture Chencang? In addition, our army is going to send troops through Hanzhong and pass through Wu Sangui's territory, will Wu Sangui let us go? ”

"Your army borrowed Hanzhong, there is no need to worry about this, with us coming forward, Wu Sangui will naturally let him go. In fact, Wu Sangui also hopes that you can seize Guanzhong and defeat Zhao Liangdong, so that Zhao Liangdong will not send troops from Tongguan to attack Wu Sangui's back road. Therefore, if your army attacks Guanzhong, Wu Sangui will naturally let it go. Li Guangdi replied.

Li Laiheng suddenly laughed: "Hahaha! If Wu Sangui ignored Guanzhong and went all the way to the north, and Zhao Liangdong sent troops to attack Wu Thief's back road, wouldn't that be exactly what I wanted? Wu Sangui and my loyal camp have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, and they will never die! If Wu Sangui dies, we will have one less confidant! ”

"No!" Li Guangdi was shocked, "Wu Sangui hijacked the Holy Driving Northern Expedition, if the Holy Driving fell into the hands of the Tartars, you and I can't afford this responsibility!" ”

Hao Shaoqi sneered: "Wu Sangui, these coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes! He wants to take the Holy Driver into the capital, and when the time comes, not only will we be in danger, but you will also have to obey the orders of this old thief! You don't think about the consequences? ”

Li Guangdi said solemnly: "Strength is the first!" In terms of strength, do you know the strength of our army? Besides, although Wu Sangui and King Jin have joined forces temporarily, they look like each other, can they be one heart? Wu Sangui wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but the King of Jin was still a person who understood righteousness, and he temporarily joined forces with Wu Sangui to protect himself! If Wu Sangui wants to be Cao Cao, will King Jin agree? Now that the Tartars are not settled, our Ming Dynasty has started infighting first, isn't that cheaper Tartars again? Think about it more than 20 years ago, several times the situation was very good, but it was ruined by internal strife! Now we should go all out to deal with foreign enemies together! ”

Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun and Hao Shaoqi had nothing to say for a while, and Li Guangdi continued: "If it is about strength, my lord has the best hope of being the first to attack the Beijing Division, but why didn't he do it for a long time? It's just for everyone not to have internal strife, and to be unanimous with the outside world! My lord earns silver and gives it to the armies of all kinds. The lord's vision is not in the Central Plains, but in the whole world! ”

An attendant handed over the map, and Li Guangdi opened the world map and spread it out on the table: "Everyone, please see, this is the whole world, and our Huaxia is only a small piece in the world!" How big the world is! There are so many lands to conquer! What is missing now is manpower! The lord could not bear the cannibalism of the Han people, and wanted to preserve as many Han people as possible. Only when there are enough people can you conquer the whole world! ”

Li Laiheng was a little moved, he pointed to the Western Regions on the map and asked, "This is the place where the prince wants us to go?" ”

"Not only the Western Regions, but also the territory of the Heavenly Fang Sect to the west!" Li Guangdi pointed to the Middle East on the map and said, "This is the former Great Food Empire, now the Great Food Empire has fallen, hundreds of years ago, after the weakening of the Mongol Empire, the Rumi Kingdom (Ottoman Turkey) arose, rampaging through the Western Desert, cutting off the Silk Road, and destroying the Eastern Roman Empire." Now that the Rakshasa Kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger, the Rakshasa Kingdom claims to be the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire, and naturally has a bad relationship with the Lumi State, and the two countries have been at war for many years, and the Lumi State is also weakening day by day. Even more on the rise of the Taixi countries, this Lumi country is already in danger! ”

Li Guang said so much, and the implication was that he wanted to take advantage of the weakening of the Turkish Empire to compete with Russia and European countries for territory in the Middle East.

From the map, the Middle East is a desert region, with no grass, only the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are fertile areas suitable for farming, and the rest of the country is either mountainous or desert, and it is barren. So Li Guangdi didn't understand why Wang Yu wanted to seize those places.

At this time, no one knew that under the vast desert there was an abundance of black gold, that is, oil. The significance of oil is not seen in this era. But Wang Xinyu, who came from later generations, naturally knows the value of oil.

Looking at the vast territory on the map, not only Li Laiheng was moved, but even Liu Tichun and Hao Shaoqi were also moved. If he occupies the vast Western Regions, so far away from Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui can't manage himself here. If you can gain a foothold in the Western Regions, you may be able to develop a powerful empire in the Western Regions.

"So how will our army attack Chencang? There are also cities in the middle of the city, all of which are fortified cities. Li Laiheng asked.

"Our army will send artillery and a swarm of bee vans to help! And the Kawachu Army, too, will assist you! Li Guang said, "The lower official went to Hanzhong this time, and he also asked the saint for the holy decree and entered Sichuan to be the governor of Sichuan." This Sichuan army can naturally be dispatched by the lower officials. With our army to help in the war, are you afraid that you won't be able to capture Guanzhong? ”

To tell the truth, Wang Yu's dispatch of the Qiongzhou army to help the war was actually equivalent to containing the loyal battalion, so as not to stop obeying his command after conquering the Western Regions.

"Good!" Li Laiheng heard that Chuanzhong sent troops to help, and he agreed to come down. After all, it is not a way for them to be trapped in the eastern Sichuan area, sooner or later they will be wiped out, it is better to use the strength of the Qiongzhou army to lay a vast world in the Western Regions.

Li Guangdi left eastern Sichuan and entered southern Sichuan again.

According to Wang Xinyu's plan, the Ming army in central Sichuan not only had to allocate a part of its forces to assist the loyal battalion, but also a part of the army composed of local Tibetans to enter Tibet from western Sichuan, which is today's Tibet.

At that time, the Ming army will enter Tibet and welcome the lama to the Central Plains. Tibet is ruled by a combination of theocracy and political power, and the Yellow Religion has an unshakable position in Tibet, and the leader of the Yellow Religion, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, is the Fifth Lama of Dalai Lai. In this era, the 5th Dalai had already accepted the canonization of the Qing court, and Wang Xinyu wanted to compete with the Qing court for orthodoxy, as well as Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso.
