At the end of the eighth year of Assimilation, on the tenth day after Li Liangzuo returned to Xingqing Prefecture, the main force of the Xia army stationed in the camp outside Xingqing Prefecture City had made all pre-war preparations. This time, he sent troops to attack Liao, Li Liangzuo planned to divide his troops into two groups, one way to the south of the Mobei and the north of the Mobei grassland, and the other way to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Like sending troops, Li Liangzuo would mobilize pre-war passion before every time he sent troops. The soldiers of the Central Army looked at Li Liangzuo with fanatical passion. These soldiers and generals admired Li Liangzuo very much. Li Liangzuo was a god of war among all the soldiers of the Xia army. They could die for Li Liangzuo without hesitation. As long as Li Liangzuo said something, they would be willing to give their precious lives one after another.

By the eighth year of assimilation, the Central Army of Western Xia had expanded to 150,000. In addition to the 100,000 people stationed in Xingqing Prefecture, the other 50,000 Central Army Li Liangzuo sent him to various places and stationed in the border with the border. These Central Army went to various places to guard the border every year. The two main places where the Central Army stationed in the border are: one is the Anxi Guardian in the west, and the other is the western Youyun area occupied by the Xia army in the northeast.

This time, Li Liangzuo made sufficient preparations for the imperial expedition. The main forces of the Central Army stationed in Xingqing Prefecture were all dispatched, including a Tianlang Heavy Armored Cavalry Division, two Eagle Light Cavalry Divisions and Flying Tiger Light Cavalry Divisions. These three divisions were trained by Li Liangzuo and were the elite among the elites of the Xia army. In addition to these three divisions responsible for protecting Li Liangzuo, the personal guard camps were also on the ranks of the expedition, and the Xia army's sharp fangs were ready to stab the grassland.

Don’t think that Li Liangzuo only sent troops to the grassland. Li Liangzuo prepared ambushes in his early years, which can be said to be very useful this time. Li Liangzuo once ordered Li Xiaoren to establish the Anbei Protectorate on cede 500 miles of land in the Liao Kingdom. As a bridgehead for sending troops to the grassland in Xixia, Li Liangzuo once authorized Li Xiaoren to form 30,000 Anbei Army and allowed Li Xiaoren to win over various tribes on the grassland.

With the strong support of Li Liangzuo, although the Anbei Army was a newly formed border army, its strength was growing rapidly. In order to enable all the grassroots officers of the Anbei Army to be transferred from the Central Army, this was also to prevent Li Xiaoren from seizing military power, and it was also Li Liangzuo's defense against Li Xiaoren.

While Li Liangzuo sent troops to the grassland, Jila Siyi also received the order from Li Liangzuo to send troops. At this time, Jila Siyi, who was already a veteran, can be said to be a rare opportunity for great war in his life. This time, Li Liangzuo gave Jila Siyi very relaxed. Li Liangzuo handed over the command of the entire Hetao Army, the Central Army and the Mansion Army, which was stationed west of Oluoha City, Jila Siyi. At this time, Jila Siyi's main troops had 120,000, and the total strength of the mansion soldiers in various places could reach 180,000, which accounted for one-third of the total strength of the Xixia army.

Time will speed up a little. Three days later, the main army led by Li Liangzuo had passed through the Yique Pass, passed through the endless Yinshan Mountains, and entered the southern desert grassland. This was the first time that Li Liangzuo entered the grassland area north of Yinshan Mountain. At this time, the grassland had entered an era of heroes competing for hegemony. Li Liangzuo's arrival made the already surging grassland more complicated.

Li Liangzuo led a 100,000 army to a small town where the Abe Protectorate was located. It was not so much a small town as a camp surrounded by soil. On this endless grassland, if everyone wants to live, they basically live a life of living by water and grass. Although Li Xiaoren also wants to break this situation, the conditions of the Anbei Protectorate’s jurisdiction do not allow it at all, and if they want to survive here, they can only be like nomadic peoples.

"Finally, Li Xiaoren, pay homage to His Majesty, and pay homage to Concubine De." Li Xiaoren, Huama and Mu Zheng knelt on Li Liangzuo's horse and saluted.

Li Liangzuo quickly dismounted and helped the two of them up and said, "Two beloved friends have worked hard for me to guard the northern border. Please get up quickly."

"Thank you Your Majesty." The two thanked Li Liangzuo.

This time, Li Liangzuo followed Concubine De Yelu Yue, who is the princess of Yue of Liao. This was the first time that Li Liangzuo took women to war. Li Liangzuo also had his own considerations when he brought Yelu Yue with him. Although the Liao Kingdom is now divided, the remaining power of the Liao Kingdom on the grassland still exists. At the same time, Li Liangzuo can also use the identity of the Princess of Yue of Yelu Yue to bring some Liao troops and Khitan tribes under his command.

"Your Majesty, please enter the city!" Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo took Li Xiaoren's hand and said, "The emperor's brother comes to the city with me."

Li Liangzuo's actions touched Li Xiaoren very much. Although Li Xiaoren is Li Liangzuo's cousin, Li Xiaoren is now just a guru Anbei and doesn't even have a title. This is not because Li Liangzuo is stingy, but because he must make military achievements in the Western Xia royal family. In other words, if the children of the Western Xia royal family want to get a title, they must join the army unless his father is very capable and can allow his son to inherit his title. However, few people can get a title in this way, and the inherited title will be reduced.

Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo with great emotion: "What kind of virtue can you do in the end? You will be so honored."

"The emperor's brother stationed in the northern border for me, and he should be so hard and meritorious." Li Liangzuo comforted Li Xiaoren and said.

After entering the city, Li Liangzuo realized that this was not a city at all. Looking around, the city was full of tents. Li Liangzuo ordered Li Yi who was following him: "Send an order, the army will set up camp outside the city; after the camp is established, the generals of each battalion will come to the tent to discuss matters."

"Yes, the last general will take the order." Li Yi took over the military order.

"Your Majesty's city is simple, Your Majesty should go to the big tent to rest first!" Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo.

Under the leadership of Li Xiaoren, Li Liangzuo came to the best big tent in the city. This big tent was specially built by Li Xiaoren for Li Liangzuo. The big tent is divided into two parts, the front and back. The front and back account can be discussed and the latter account can be provided for Li Liangzuo to rest. After entering the big tent, Li Liangzuo smelled the fragrance of mutton, and a pot of mutton was being cooked in the middle of the big tent! This kind of scene is very common on the grassland. Cooking meat in the big tent can not only increase the temperature in the big tent, but also can be eaten at any time.

Li Liangzuo walked to the commander's position and sat down. Yelu Yue sat obediently beside Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo said to everyone: "Don't be polite, let's go to the countryside and follow the customs and sit down!"

"Thank you for your majesty to give your seat." Everyone bowed and bowed.

After everyone sat down, Li Liangzuo asked Li Xiaoren: "Brother, tell me about the situation of Anbei Protectorate!"

Li Xiaoren knelt in front of Li Liangzuo and apologized: "The general is guilty. In order to expand the strength of the Anbei Protectorate's Office as soon as possible, the general has collected many small tribes and granted them military power. In order to ask Your Majesty for advice, he also asked Your Majesty to punish him."

Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "The emperor's brother is indeed wrong in this matter, but it is understandable. If there is no self-protection ability on this grassland, no one is willing to surrender to us; this time I will be exempted. If there is a next time, the emperor must report it to me."

"Thank you for your kindness." Li Xiaoren kowtowed and bowed.
