Chapter 1562 From one emperor to another
Not long after Xiao Tali took up her throne, he encountered the Song Dynasty sending troops to attack Hei Khan. This was an excellent opportunity for her. The Song army sent as many as 300,000 troops, which was completely beyond her imagination.
Although Hei Khan was also a powerful border country, the Song Dynasty did not need to use so many soldiers and armor. It was amazing to eat horses along the way, not to mention that the army of this dynasty relied on the rear.
Suddenly Xiao Tali smiled. She was laughing at her innocence. Isn’t the purpose of Zhao Zhen doing this? It is to let himself know how powerful and prosperous the Song Dynasty is now.
Although this was a war against Hei Khan, it was also a warning to the Liao Dynasty. The current Great Khitan was no match for the Song Dynasty at all! This man was so arrogant that he was extremely arrogant. Thinking of this, a sweetness rose in Xiao Tali's heart. The man he liked was indeed very bold.
He must have known that the Great Khitan would not watch the Song Dynasty easily attack Hei Khan. The current situation is testing her. Zhao Zhen was either really guarding against the Great Khitan or was simply cheating!
Xiao Tali smiled at the map on the table. This map was collected by her secret spies dressed in disguise and merchants, and was one of the means she imitated Zhao Zhen. At that time, she worked a lot to understand Zhao Zhen in order to understand the Song Dynasty.
"Is it true or false, I will tell at a try. Do you still want to hide such an obvious thing?"
After becoming emperor, Xiao Tali's name naturally changed. She is now on an equal footing like him. He is the emperor, he is himself, he calls himself me, and he is also himself.
Looking back at the old eunuch who was facing the shadow, he ordered: "Please come Xiao Shumi, and Prime Minister Zhang Jian!"
The old eunuch nodded slightly and left. He knew that the use of black khan in the Song Dynasty would have an impact on the Great Khitan, but he did not expect that it would be so soon. His Majesty would not relax at all.
A huge map was raised and hung in Longmei Palace. This is one of the palaces that dealt with the government affairs of Xiao Tali. Compared with other palaces, this is the key place.
When Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui appeared in the palace, they knew that the empress of the Great Khitan was going to take action. They knew that the Song Dynasty was using troops against the Black Khan, but they did not think that this was an opportunity to provoke the Song Dynasty. The Song people must beware of the Great Khitan going south.
Xiao Hui couldn't help it first and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, using troops to the Song Dynasty is not the best choice at this time. The Song people are cunning, and Black Khan must be prepared for sending troops."
Zhang Jian remained silent aside, Xiao Tali stared at him for a while, then gently opened his red lips and said, "How do you think the Prime Minister?"
Now Zhang Jian is no longer the original left prime minister, but the high-ranking prime minister of the Great Khitan. It has the power to assist the emperor in handling political affairs. After the Liao Dynasty changed to the Great Khitan, the system of the North and South Courts was also merged, collectively known as the Political Affairs Council, which is in charge of the national affairs of the Great Khitan.
Unlike Zhao Zhen, Xiao Tali did not reduce his rights, but instead strengthened the rights of the Privy Council and the Political Council, and also increased the rights of the Privy Council and the Prime Minister.
Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian can be said to be the best at assisting Xiao Tali in both literature and martial arts.
Zhang Jian pondered and said, "Get up and tell Your Majesty. I think the biggest difficulty in attacking Song from the south is not the advantage of the Song people's soldiers, but the prosperity of their soldiers! To this day, we still don't know the size of the Song people's soldiers. Now the Song people's soldiers and Khans in the west have all 300,000 troops, but there are still 200,000 troops prepared. Emperor Song Dynasty recruits soldiers and recruits each other, and hundreds of thousands of retired soldiers every four or even three years. This is how it goes…”
Xiao Tali nodded. She knew what Zhang Jian meant. This was the biggest problem. The Great Khitan still doesn’t know how many soldiers the Song Dynasty had, hundreds of thousands, or millions!
The Khitan army was only 600,000, and there was a long border guard. It was impossible to produce all the elite troops. Once they attacked the Song Dynasty, they were likely to be attacked by the Song Dynasty.
The Great Khitan could not afford such a price.
Xiao Tali pointed to a corner of the map and said, "Can my Great Khitan be able to watch the Song Dynasty grow up? If the Song Dynasty takes over the Black Khan, the entire Western Regions will be lost!"
Whether it was anger or anger, Xiao Tali's face turned pale. Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian were both shocked. They knew that this was because His Majesty was pregnant. Now Xiao Tali is pregnant for eight months and his belly is very obvious, which is why she doesn't want to appear in front of the world.
"Your Majesty takes care of the dragon body..."
Xiao Tali gently stroked the raised belly under Gun's suit and sighed slightly: "There is not much time left. Zhao Zhen is so unscrupulous. Even under the eyes of my Great Khitan, I don't care. What do you mean? It's because in his eyes, the Great Khitan is just not worth mentioning!"
After taking a sip of the pregnancy-protecting pill handed over by the old eunuch, Xiao Tali closed his eyes and opened it again: "If I don't take advantage of the situation and wait for the Song people to completely conquer the Black Khan, I will lose all the lands in the Western Regions to Song, what does this mean? "
Zhang Jian opened his mouth and closed it. He knew that the Song people could not have Western Regions because once Zhao Zhen took down the black sweat, he could open up a brand new Silk Road, from Yutian to the black sweat, all the way west.
But the Great Khitan cannot be without the Western Regions, nor without the Black Sweat. If the Black Sweat falls into the hands of the Song Dynasty, what's the use of even if there is the Western Regions? The Silk Road to the West has been cut off by the Black Sweat.
"Your Majesty means joining the Black Khan to fight against the Song Dynasty?"
Zhang Jian spoke tentatively, and he felt that this was the best way, but Xiao Tali shook his head again: "United Hei Han? What is Black Sweat? It has no ability to fight against the Song Dynasty at all. It is just an ant that is in the way. In a flash, the Song Dynasty will be killed!"
Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Tali in surprise. His niece's eyes became more and more unique, and her attacking aura was quite decisive. Xiao Hui gritted her teeth and asked, "I wonder what saint's opinion of Your Majesty?"
Xiao Tali glanced at Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui, and frowned slightly and said, "The Song people are showing their strength to the world. They must sweep the Black Khan with thunder and force, and they will not withdraw their troops if they destroy the country! The Black Khan provoked the Song Dynasty in front, which is the crime of his death in his heart.
However, when the Song Dynasty was expeditioning the west, 100,000 people were enough, but what was his intention to attack with such means? It was to shock Seljuk! He was not to show the power of the Song Dynasty to the world, but to threaten Seljuk. Our Great Liao Dynasty should join forces with Seljuk to show that we can use a covenant to resist the Song Dynasty together!"
Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui were stunned by Xiao Tali's words, and were stunned for a long time before speaking: "Your Majesty, you must be with the Seljuk Alliance, but you must show your sincerity, and the risks of our Great Khitan can be greater than those of Seljuk!"
Xiao Tali nodded slightly: "I know, so I ordered you and others to come and discuss, and you will also send troops to Yizhou when you go to Seljuk."
