Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

But for Dashi, it wouldn't hurt the bones.

As the first confrontation between the two empires of Dashi and Datang, Dashi suffered a disastrous defeat.

Da Shi Wang, how could he accept such a result?

Will definitely retaliate severely.

However, Li Xiu secretly shook her head.

These courtiers still don't know enough about Huo Qubing.

Who is Huo Qubing?

Across Mobei, relying on tens of thousands of cavalry, the Xiongnu Shanyu was the ruthless man who chased after him.

And how many cavalry are there under Huo Qubing's command now?

A full 20 million!

With these 20 big Han cavalry, Li Xiu believed that the current Huo Qubing must have already had thoughts in his heart such as "the food is not destroyed, why should the family do it", "surprise attack on Damascus", and "capture the king of food alive".

Who cares how many troops you have in Dashi?

As for reinforcements.

Huo Qubing probably didn't expect it at all.

However, even one Huo Qubing is enough to give Dashi Wang a headache.

But Li Xiu still planned to send more troops.

Because, his expedition to the west not only intends to take back the land of the Western Regions and severely damage the Dashi, but to wipe out the Dashi!

Occupy the territory of the Dashi Empire as his Datang Dynasty!

"I remember, I told you a word, I don't know if you still remember it."

Suddenly, Li Xiu's words attracted the attention of the officials.

His Majesty has said so many words, how do they know which one?

In the entire Golden Luan Hall, the sound of falling needles can be heard.

Li Xiu glanced at all the officials, and then said slowly and loudly: "Everything the sun and moon shine on, and wherever the rivers and rivers go, is the territory of my Great Tang!"

"The goal of my Great Tang's western expedition is to push all the way to the west until we see the sea!"

Chapter 148 Divide into Three Routes and Launch the Western Expedition

Push all the way to the west!

until the sea!

Your Majesty, you are so ambitious!

At the beginning, His Majesty said that he would be the master of the whole world.

They thought that His Majesty was just talking casually.

Now it seems that His Majesty is serious!

Moreover, it is striding forward towards this magnificent goal!

"Preach my will."

Li Xiu's voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Conscript the army and prepare to launch a large-scale western expedition!"

"Designate Xiang Yu as the Marshal of the North Route Army, and lead a hundred thousand snow dragon riders to go out to Tingzhou, along Jinshan, and march from the North Road!"

"Bai Qi is the marshal of the South Route Army, leading 20 sharp soldiers, and set off from Tubo!"

"Yue Fei is the Marshal of the Central Route Army. He led the [-] Beiwei Army and the [-] Shenji Battalion to leave the Hexi Corridor and march towards Damascus, the capital of the Great Food Empire!"

Li Xiu finished speaking.

All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty showed shock.

This sudden move by Li Xiu can be said to have mobilized half of the elite army of the Tang Dynasty.

This Western Expedition is very powerful!

Among the ministers, the Secretary of the Household Department hurriedly came out, cupped his hands towards Li Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, this time a total of 50 troops are marching westward, and the food and grass needed are huge, and the national treasury may not be able to meet it."

The expedition of 50 troops.

The logistical supply is an extremely terrifying amount.

Although the Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, it has not been strong for a few years, and with years of wars, the treasury is not too rich.

However, Li Xiu had already prepared for the problem of the empty treasury.

He just glanced at the Minister of the Household Department, and immediately said in a loud voice: "I have passed on my will to issue national bonds for a period of one year in the entire Tang Dynasty, which will be very profitable for one year!"

"One year later, the imperial court will repay the principal with interest!"

"A very good year?"

Hubu Shangshu's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too high?"

Very profitable, that is, 10% annual interest.

Moreover, there are also endorsements from the imperial court and the treasury.

Unless the Tang Dynasty fell.

Otherwise, this investment will not have any risk, and it can even be said that it is a steady profit without loss.

Such a good thing, so the Tang people outside, no matter how much money they have, shouldn't they flock to it?

However, this is very profitable, it is too high!

"The higher the price, the more people will buy it, and we can raise enough military expenses for my army going west."

Li Xiu said calmly.

"The minister is afraid that the national treasury will not be repaid by then..."

Hubu Shangshu said carefully and authentically.

The treasury was already empty.

The military expenditure required for this western expedition is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

In just one year, how can I pay back?

"do not worry."

"The money returned to the common people is in the treasuries of Dashi, Tianzhu, Fulin and other countries."

"When our Western Expeditionary Army wipes out the western countries, won't all the wealth of each country belong to my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right!"

Hubu Shangshu nodded repeatedly.

If Western empires such as Dashi, Tianzhu, and Fulin can really be wiped out, that would be easy to say.

What if it doesn't work out?

In other words, did it not finish within a year?

That would be troublesome!

……

Food Empire.

Imperial capital, Damascus.

After the second prince of Dashi and Gu Taibai were defeated in Talas City.

returned to Damascus.

Report defeat to Dashiwang.

"waste!"

Dashi Wang was furious when he heard the news that Gu Taibai lost 40 teachers, "50 can't beat 20, are you a shi eater?"

Gu Taibai's face darkened.

The 50 food army was abused by the 20 Tang army.

This is indeed a great shame!

However, if you lose, you lose.

Gu Taibai did not intend to quibble.

"The last general is incompetent, please forgive me!"

"Losing to Tang Jun, of course you deserve to die!"

Da Shi Wang looked at Gu Taibai viciously, "But not now!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

Gu Taibai breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the law of the Dashi Army, he, a defeated general, was bound to die.

However, now it seems that the King of Food may still have a plan to attack Tang, otherwise he would not let him go so easily.

"Father, in fact, you can't blame General Gu Taibai for this matter."

The second prince of Dashi said cautiously: "It's really because the sixth son, Emperor Datang, is too insidious."

"Then Huo Qubing is young, who would have known that this son is the No. Easy to do."

"What the second prince said is true."

Gu Taibai hurriedly climbed up with a pole, "That Huo Qubing is an experienced soldier, but he deliberately pretended to be an unknown general. His methods are really despicable!"

"If I fight this person again, I will definitely not make the same mistake in the end, and I will definitely capture him in one battle!"

"it is good!"

"This king will give you another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

The Dashi King, dressed in white, suddenly turned cold and stern, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty invaded my Dashi and took away my land in the Western Regions for no reason. This is unforgivable!"

The big food king's eyes were burning with anger.

Originally, it was he who planned to send troops to conquer Datang and expand the territory of his Dashi Empire.

Unexpectedly, the first army was captured by Datang, which not only wiped out the Eastern Legion specially formed by him, but also took away the land of the nine countries in the Western Regions.

How can the Great Food King give up?

Just when he was about to order to retaliate severely.

Suddenly.

A big food general walked into the palace.

He knelt down in front of the Dashi King.

"His Majesty the Great Food King, the spies lurking in the Tang Dynasty are here to report!"

"Tang Jun has made another big move recently!"

"What big move?"

Da Shi Wang's complexion changed.

The general of Dashi said in a deep voice: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued a large amount of national debt, plundered the people's wealth, and used it as military expenses!"

"With Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, and Yue Fei as the marshals of the Three-Way West Expedition Army, lead 50 Tang troops to launch the West Expedition!"

"Threats to wipe out the western countries, and occupy the land where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, as the territory of the Great Tang!"

"Insanity!"
