Liu Yezhu and his descendants once went to the Western Regions, and Li Er and his descendants also went to the Western Regions. Anyway, I never heard of anyone doing it for those few kilograms of raisins.

Even beauties from the Western Regions such as Reba and Nazha, who are coveted by netizens in later generations, can only be regarded as additions at best.

The real reason that prompted the historical emperors to start with the Western Regions was because the Western Regions controlled the communication channels between the East and the West. In an era when maritime trade had not yet fully emerged, commercial trade between the East and the West still relied more on the Silk Road.

The Western Region, which lies between the East and the West, can naturally draw a lot of wealth from it, and you can make money just by lying down, without any effort at all.

This is just like what someone said: A common man is not guilty, but he who carries a jade is guilty.

And Zhao Da also once said: How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?

Moreover, the Western Regions are no longer just as simple as sleeping soundly on the side of the couch at the entrance of the Central Plains Hall. They also intercepted a large amount of wealth while sleeping soundly.

It can't be cut now.

Although Sanjar Khan can indeed be called a "hero of the generation" in the Western Regions, he is only in the Western Regions. With the few troops under his command, let alone a head-to-head confrontation with the regular army of the Song Dynasty, even

Even the qualifications to fight with Yelu Dashi are not enough.

Don’t forget, there was once Wang Xuance in the Tang Dynasty. This guy borrowed thousands of soldiers and horses from several sons-in-laws of the Tang Dynasty, and then conquered the Western Regions.

The army under Yelu Dashi was once the elite force of the Liao Kingdom. After joining the Song Dynasty, it completed the upgrade of its weapons. Now it has almost driven Sanjar Khan to a dead end.

Otherwise, Sanjar Khan would not have sent waves of envoys to Bianjing to meet the saint.

In order to prove that he was indeed "somewhat related" to the Song Dynasty, Sanjar Khan was so desperate that he even changed Sanjar to Jaisan'er, and then took the genealogy he found out from somewhere and insisted on saying that he was

He is a descendant of Jia Xu, a famous poisoner during the Three Kingdoms period.

Look, we are all relatives. There is absolutely no need to fight like this. We, Mr. Jia, admit that your Zhao Guan family is the master of the world, and we also admit that the Song Dynasty is the suzerain of the Seljuk Kingdom. Can you be a little more generous?

Son, give our old Jia a place to stay?

If it were replaced by an official family like Gaoliang River Car God, Sanjar Khan's plan would really be possible. If it were replaced by an official family like Zhao Paopao Jixiang, Sanjar Khan's envoys might have brought

He returned to the Western Regions with a large amount of rewards, and also brought with him the will to kill Yelu Dashi.

But it is a pity that Sanjar Khan, who was born at the wrong time, did not meet the God of Sorghum River or Zhao Paopao, but instead met Zhao Huan.

For Zhao Huan, in addition to the few kilograms of raisins, the reason for destroying the Western Regions was another extremely important reason, that is, the Western Regions lay between the Song Dynasty and the hometown of the Yizhi Leye people. This also meant that they

It stood between the future tombs of Song Dynasty and Zhao Huan.

If the Western Regions are not eliminated, how will the emperors of the Song Dynasty pay homage to Zhao Huan's tomb in the future? They will not be able to enjoy the worship of future generations, and they will not be able to enjoy blood and blood. This is the treatment that an emperor should have?

If we don’t conquer the Western Regions, we will have to import raisins and cantaloupe in the future. Is this the enjoyment that an emperor should have?

If we don’t eliminate the Western Regions, will the land flowing with oil become an overseas enclave of the Song Dynasty? There are many countries with overseas enclaves, but how many countries can always hold those overseas enclaves in their hands without problems?

What's even more terrible is that in the Song Dynasty, in addition to Zhao Huan who was interested in the Western Regions, there was also a Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was extremely sensitive to money and had long been eyeing the wealth in the Western Regions.

"As the saying goes, in the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king? How can Dusanjar Khan not be a minister?"

Zhuang Chengyi, who had already been coveting the Western Regions for a long time, became energetic when he heard Zhao Huan say that the leaders of the Central Plains Hall did not attack the Western Regions just for the few kilograms of raisins. He shouted impassionedly: "I heard that you are worried about me.

Humiliation, when a king humiliates his ministers to death, has always been the exception."

"Sanjar often acted disobediently. He attacked Pingxibo Yelü Dashi several times. Now that he was defeated by Pingxibo, he pretended to be Jia Xu. Isn't it a crime to deceive the emperor?

"

"In order to punish the former and the later, and to warn the world, I asked the officials to raise righteous troops, but I failed to defeat them!"

If Zhao Huan hadn't known Zhuang Chengyi's temperament very well, Zhao Huan would have thought that Zhuang Chengyi was so passionate. Looking at the completely dumbfounded Crown Prince Zhao Chen next to him, he would have known how abnormal Zhuang Chengyi was now.

"Be normal. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you are always shouting "Xingyi Division" to attack but not the ministers. What do you look like!"

Zhao Chen couldn't say anything because of Zhuang Chengyi's face, so Zhao Huan had no such worries at all.

"Also, when we were talking about giving the people of Leye their homeland, didn't you still complain that we had no money? Why, now you have money to attack the Seljuk side?"

Zhuang Chengyi thought to himself, "Who knows what the situation is like in Yici Leye's hometown? Besides, isn't the Seljuk Kingdom just lying between the Song Dynasty and Yici Leye's hometown?"

As the saying goes, a sheep is being herded, and a group of sheep is being driven. Anyway, they have to "help" the people of Leye "return" to their homeland, and then they can easily kill the Seljuks as well.

It's a matter of hugging grass and hunting rabbits, and taking care of it.

But before Zhuang Chengyi could explain, Zhao Huan curled his lips disdainfully and said sarcastically: "Besides, wait until you think of something, eat... The day lily is already cold. Isn't Yelu Dashi talking to Seljuk right now?"

country at war?”

"If Yelu Dashi can't deal with those old soldiers of the Seljuk Kingdom who worship five times a day, I don't think he should be called Pingxibo. He might as well be called Chuoxibo instead."

Zhuang Chengyi was very ashamed. Just thinking of what Zhao Huan just said, he suddenly felt aggrieved for Yelu Dashi.

How could the good Uncle Ping Xi have become Uncle Chuanxi... This is a tasteful title!

"Remember, there is no such thing as loyalty or not between countries, let alone right or wrong. Sanjar is sending envoys to pay tribute now because he is afraid of death, and the Song Dynasty wants to destroy the Seljuks. In fact, it is not the same as Sanjar.

You yourself have nothing to do with it."

After mocking Zhuang Chengyi, Zhao Huan turned to Zhao Chen and said: "As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The Seljuk Kingdom blocks the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and this is how he will die."

"If we want the Song Dynasty to not be destroyed at the drop of a hat, we must keep the Song Dynasty itself strong and make people tremble when they think of the consequences of provoking the Song Dynasty."

"Now, tell me, what exactly did you see in Bianjing City?"

When asked by Zhao Huan, Zhao Chen was immediately confused.

What did I see?

I saw the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Finance who often said that money is like dirt, talking about beating and killing like a green-skinned loser. He seems to want to get all the dirt in the world back to the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

I saw your father, the old man, eating the food in the bowl and thinking about the food in the pot. The emperor is always planning to defeat this one and destroy that one.
