If you carefully observe the Khitan map of the Western Regions, you will quickly draw a conclusion that the Khitans' Western Regions have been completely monopolized by the Song Dynasty.

Starting from the Ningxia Road in the Song Dynasty, to the Khitan, and then to Xinjiang, a huge arc completely surrounded the Khitans' Western Regions. The only gap left was the only one in the Khitan's Shangjing Road.

But unfortunately, if you want to reach the Western Regions from the Niba Ge tribe, you have to cross the long and towering Jinshan Mountains.

This alone will kill you. Jinshan is the Altai Mountain in later generations! The mountains are high and steep, the road is steep, the road is long, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your money and basically no merchants will take risks.

This natural barrier not only prevents the Song Dynasty from advancing north after taking over the Western Regions, but also becomes a huge obstacle for the Khitans themselves. They can only go around the Xinjiang region of the Song Dynasty through the Junggar Basin and continue to move westward.

Zhao Zhen saw this business road, with only one imperial edict, and the vast army of Di Qing went to the Western Regions border to wait, cutting off the Khitan's trade route, so that the Khitan's goods could only be delayed in the local area and could not move forward.

As time goes by, the more and more goods the Khitan has, it needs more and more capital turnover and more and more needs to go out. The only way is to break up with the Song Dynasty and defeat the Song army.

But during this period, the Khitans' fear of the Song army had penetrated into their bones. Even the local defenders did not dare to go out to fight against the Song Dynasty, so they could only seek help from the court and let the court send more troops to come.

But the problem is that the Khitan court adheres to the principle of reducing friction and trying to restore trade and is unwilling to break up with the Song Dynasty. Once a war breaks out between the two sides, even fewer goods can be sold in the future.

The Khitans have worked hard on economic recovery for several years and have completely failed to think about the hard days of "returning to before liberation".

The court officials were unwilling to do so, and the business merchants did not intend to do so. There was no way. They knew that the Khitan had been stuck in the throat by the Songkhla, which would cause huge losses, but if the war started, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The more prosperous the country is, the more disgusting the war, because it will delay everyone making money!

In order to stabilize the upper class of the Khitan, Xiao Tali encouraged the aristocratic class to open factories and invest in the business. That is to say, the Khitan first fought the empress to the royal family, from the royal family to the foreign relatives, and then to the vast nobles, without wishing to go to war.

Because the richer they are, the more they understand the strength of the Song Dynasty and the more they feel that they have not made enough money.

When can the world make money?

There is no time! But the Khitans do not know, or do not understand the digestive ability of the domestic market. In order to make money and make up for losses, merchants can only continue to produce, simply hoping to make up for losses with high output and low prices.

But this is a complete drinking poison to quench thirst and seeking death.

The Khitans just blindly imitated the Song Dynasty, imitated the Song Dynasty factories, imitated the Song Dynasty's exports, and even imitated the Song Dynasty's products, but they never studied the economy to the end!

From beginning to end, I stared at others without looking back at my own problems.

Therefore, when the goods are over-production, they cannot be transported out. They can only find ways to digest them in Khitan at a low price. At this time, the Khitans suddenly appeared and they could not digest them at all!

There is no way, the population is too small, and there are too many things produced. How much porcelain can a family need? It’s enough to use it, how much fabric can it consume? It’s enough to wear it!

As for saddles and other things, there are serious unsalable sales.........

So the Khitans began to seriously consider how to deal with the Song army in the Western Regions.

You can't be stuck in your neck like this all the time. This is to force the Khitan to death!

Out of survival instinct, the Khitan decided to counterattack the defenders stationed in the Western Regions of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen had known for a long time that this war would be fought no matter what. The Khitans had been completely blocked by the Song Dynasty. During this period, the Khitans had relied on internal consumption of excess, and now they could not digest it, of course they began to become crazy.

So from the beginning of the Song Dynasty taking down the Black Khan, Zhao Zhen issued an order to Di Qing, asking him not to return to the court for the time being to wait for the opportunity.

This wait took three years. Although the soldiers in the army could barely accept it, it was the emperor's will, but they didn't know that Xinjiang had been plowed several times by the army like a sled, so why did they not return to the court?

The military merits and rewards for the conquest of Hei Khan were a lot of, which made them feel a little relieved.

But in theory, rewards on merits and deeds are nothing after returning to the court and before the army sets off!

Who doesn’t want to return home as soon as possible to reunite with their relatives? Who wants to stay outside the border for so long?

I didn’t think about it. The three-year stationing made many soldiers anxious. To put it bluntly, there were no two sows in this place!

Because of worrying that the soldiers who went to war would not return at night, they would have a relationship with local women, they would delay the army's itinerary, or they would have patted their butts and let them go, causing local conflicts.

The Song army was not allowed to leave the military camp at will, so they could only be taken away by Yu Hou. They had to return to the camp before dark, which resulted in no extra energy being released. The football match held by Di Qing had reached a time of three to five days, and it was useless at all.

Even he himself wondered what the government wanted to do.

When Sibanzi, the imperial city from Shendu City, handed over Zhao Zhen's will to him, Di Qing suddenly realized, rushed out of the White Tiger Festival Hall like crazy, stood at the gate of the pedestal and shouted: "Beat the drum! Click the soldiers!"

After a silence, the whole body followed Di Qing and started to frantically, while the imperial city Sibanzi, who was sending the order, stood in a daze.

After a long time, he came to his senses and smiled bitterly, pointing to the bright yellow scroll in his hand and said, "Ship Di, you have received the order..."

Di Qing came back to his senses and received Zhao Zhen's order. He kicked Banzi casually and said, "The army is about to set off and leave. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if you are too late!"

Di Qing's words did not lie, and the Banzi soon showed that it was different in the army, at least it was different from when he saw it.

The camp gate, which was originally not a human, suddenly became open and staunch. A large group of people came out from nowhere and lashed at the huge cowhide drum frantically. Although the sound was low, it spread all over the world.

With the rumbling drums, the huge platform was assumed, and knights kept coming.

A tide soon formed to occupy all the roads to the Central Army camp. Only then did the Banner of the Imperial City Department wake up and go out of the Central Army in the opposite direction.

In the past, the Imperial City Si Banzi, which was afraid of people, but was sad about ghosts, has become a turtle that has shrunk. The vanguard, lieutenant, commander, and Yu Hou scolded him.

It was not because he brought the will of the government, but because he was not faster on the road.

This is his damn unreasonableness. Yanzi wanted to cry without tears. Obviously, these people just wanted to scold themselves.

He knew that the soldiers in the army were not afraid of war or returning to the land. Their most fear was waiting, and there was no news in the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang.

There has been no news about their family for three years, and there has been no news about them for three years. Even if you die or live, you will not be able to do it automatically!
