    "Time is not waiting for me, ten years is too short, I have to seize the day!" Zhao Pu lamented.  At this time, a series of external expansion policies have been launched, the government machinery has been activated, and a strong combat effectiveness has been unleashed.  At this moment, some people may not realize it, but in the near future, it will change the entire course of the Song Dynasty and affect the development of several generations.  Historically, the Han and Tang dynasties were aggressive and enterprising.  The Han Dynasty opened up the Hexi Corridor, the Hetao Plain, and the Western Regions; and the Tang Dynasty opened up the Northeast and Tibet.  By the time of the Song Dynasty, it began to become conservative, focusing on internal fighting and internal strife, while despising external development, and its living space was extremely compressed.  ??As for foreign development, it was mostly in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was mostly the founding emperor who had the capital to do so.  In the middle and late stages, it focused on internal affairs and was unable to develop externally.  He was the central master of the Song Dynasty. When he was in power, he held great power and the imperial power was the most powerful. He had enough strength to suppress the opposition of all parties, expand externally, expand the living space of the Song Dynasty, and consolidate the territory.  Once he dies, the imperial power will inevitably weaken and the ministerial power will inevitably strengthen. At that time, the Song Dynasty will inevitably turn from the outside to the inside.  "While he is alive and in control, it is the best time to expand."  Once you miss this opportunity, you will regret it forever.  He has already done what he needs to do, and the wheels of external expansion are already rolling forward, and he only needs to watch indifferently to prevent the wheels from deviating from the track.  This is a long process, which may take decades or even hundreds of years, and requires the efforts of several generations to reap the fruits.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Exploring overseas in Zhao Pu.  When expanding outwards; in the Western Regions, the Western Liao army was also expanding outwards. The Kingdom of Jin adhered to the strategy of eradicating the weeds and eradicating the roots.  Chasing Yelu Dashi until death.  However, after many years of fighting, the Jin army was already exhausted, suffered serious battle losses, and was no longer as strong as it once was.  The Western Liao Army, mostly composed of the remnants of the Liao Army, experienced bloody battles and disastrous defeats.  The incompetent, the old, the weak, the sick, and the useless have long been eliminated by the war and turned into dead people.  Those who survived were all elite soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles.  The remaining Liao army.  Under the leadership of Yelu Dashi, he fled to the Western Regions. When the Jin army went south and invaded the Song Dynasty, he established a firm foothold in the Western Regions.  Start cultivating your health and accumulating people¡¯s strength.  Train the army.  The Ludashi regime decided to develop westward first, expand its territory, and establish a stronger material foundation, and then destroy the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Kingdom.  February 22, 1130.  According to the tradition of the Khitan people, the Yelv Dashi kills green oxen and white horses to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors.  The whole journey is westward.  He began his western expedition and fought a fierce battle with the Karakhanids. The Uighur Kingdom of Gaochang begged for surrender and turned it into a vassal.  Yelu Dashi led the army to cross the Tianshan Mountains and advance westward.  Ahmad Khan of the Eastern Karakhanid dynasty gathered an army to resist.  Yelu Dashi's army was defeated and retreated to the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom.  But this time, the Uyghur king Bilge no longer welcomed him. Instead, he killed and pursued them, and captured the generals Saba, Dili, Tudie and others of Yelu Dashi.  This time we rushed out to the army and were defeated so badly that we almost lost our pants.  Later, after Yelu Dashi led the defeated troops back to Yemilili, he accepted the lessons of this expedition and continued to "raise troops and wait for the time."  After learning that Yelu Dashi was leading the main force in the westward expedition, the Jin Dynasty¡¯s northwest front quickly received information.  The Jin army attacked Kedun City from the north, but failed because of the obstruction of the desert.  The Western Liao Army won a great victory!  It defeated the Jin Army's attack on the eastern front and achieved a great victory. Although the Karakhanids suffered a disastrous defeat in the Western Expedition, they adjusted their policies in time and rested with the people. They gained the support of the local Turkic tribes and the number of households reached 40,000.  , the territory expanded unprecedentedly, starting from Twuci River (today's Tula River) in the east and ending at Yemili River in the west.  On February 5, 1132, Yelu Dashi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Yemilicheng with the support of hundreds of civil and military officials.  His name is Ju'er Khan (or translated as Gu'er Khan), which means "great sweat" or "sweat of sweat" in Turkic language.  The ministers also gave him the title of "Emperor Tianzhi" of Han Dynasty, and the title of "Yanqing" in Jianyuan.  At this point, the establishment of the Western Liao Dynasty was completed.  After Yelu Dashi proclaimed himself emperor, he began to expand externally on a large scale.  Within ten years, it successively merged with the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom, the Eastern Karakhanids, the Western Karakhanids, the Khwarezm Kingdom, and the Khamli tribe to build an empire with a vast territory.  Later, Yelu Dashi led 70,000 cavalry to conquer the Kingdom of Jin. The troops held a swearing-in ceremony and sacrificed green oxen and white horses to heaven.  However, the Eastern Expedition troops "traveled thousands of miles but gained nothing. Many cattle and horses died, and they were forced to return".  This Eastern Expedition of Xiliao once again attracted the attention of the Jin Dynasty.  The Jin army began to counterattack. After the army entered the desert, it was attacked many times by ambushes from Xiliao. There was a fierce battle for three days and nights, but the outcome was not decided.  The Jin army's food and grass were cut off, and many men and horses froze to death.  The deputy general¡¯s wife¡¯s family was originally a contractAfter learning that his father, brother and wife were all in the Western Liao army, he led his men to revolt.  The Jin army was defeated and returned under the attack of the Western Liao army and the rebel army.  A series of victories consolidated the Xiliao regime.  Yelu Dashi also became the master of ZTE!  At this time, Yelu Dashi was receiving the returning envoy.  "What, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to go to the Northern Expedition?" Yelu Dashi said in surprise, "This can't be a joke!" The Song Dynasty was thinking about the Northern Expedition, and our Liao army was also thinking about the Eastern Expedition, and they all wanted to destroy the Jin Kingdom.  It's just that dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.  The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty involved fierce fighting from south to north. It required field battles with the Jin army on the plains. This was fatal to the Song army with a small horse. One mistake in the Northern Expedition could result in a major defeat.  The Liao army also wanted to march eastward, but the road to the eastward expedition was too difficult. The long desert was like a natural barrier, hindering the Jin army's attack and blocking the Western Liao army's dream of an eastward expedition.  The so-called restoration of the old land is just talk. If you really mean it, you are just stupid!  The so-called Eastern Expedition is more to unite people's hearts. If the Eastern Expedition is really launched, the weak national power of Western Liao will not be able to support it.  The envoy from Western Liao said: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is very determined in the Northern Expedition, and the Song Dynasty is even more capable of the Northern Expedition. Not long ago, the Song Army attacked the Northern Expedition in four directions, but only one was defeated. Three of them were completely victorious  " With that said, the Western Liao envoy began to tell the Western Liao emperor the news he had received from the Song Dynasty.  The focus is on the scene during the First Northern Expedition, when the Song army pointed directly at Liaodong, penetrated deep into the interior, and wreaked havoc.  After hearing this, Yelu Dashi was speechless for a long time, constantly digesting the information.  "What kind of person was the emperor of the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Dashi asked.  "Comparable to the First Emperor, comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" the Western Liao envoy said, "The Song Dynasty will conduct a Northern Expedition, and the outcome is unknown. However, if the Jin army wants to repel the Song Dynasty's attack, it will inevitably pay a heavy price, and may even be in danger of national subjugation!  "Your Majesty, now the Liao and Song Dynasties have formed an alliance again, but the alliance is very fragile. Once the Song army succeeds in the Northern Expedition, it will sweep the world and restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Western Region will be in danger at that time. How can the Song Dynasty tolerate our Western Regions?"  Liao exists. How can he allow others to sleep soundly next to his bed?" The envoy from Xiliao was very worried.  That Emperor of the Song Dynasty was very dangerous and terrible!  Some emperors are thoughtful, but have no ability; and some emperors are capable, but have no desire.  And this emperor of the Song Dynasty was both capable and thoughtful, ruthless, decisive, and determined to never look back.  As the saying goes, if you don't hit the south wall, don't look back. If you hit the south wall, don't look back. Use your head to break the wall alive.  The emperor of the Song Dynasty once said that he would rather lose a hundred battles than lose a war.  Once the war begins, it cannot be ended in three to five years!  One bad thing is a war to destroy the country!  "What should I do in Daliao?" Yelu Dashi asked, more like asking himself.  "The Western Region is barren. No matter how we develop to the west, the land is limited and the population is limited. The only way out is to continue to expand to the east. The war between Song and Jin Dynasties may take several years or even more than ten years to determine the winner, but the Liao Dynasty  The country just took the opportunity to go south to the Hexi Corridor and invade Xixia!" said the Xiliao envoy.  "If we occupy Xixia, we will have the capital to conquer the Liao Dynasty to the west or confront the Song Dynasty! At that time, we can retreat to form a three-legged power; if we advance, we can restore the old land of the Liao Dynasty! "Is it difficult to deal with Xixia?  "Yel¨¹ Dashi said. "Xi Xia is difficult to deal with, but the Jin and Song dynasties are even more difficult to deal with.  If even a small Xixia cannot be destroyed.  How can our dynasty compete with the Jin State and fight with the Song Dynasty!  "The envoy from Xiliao said. "No matter how good the strategy is, it also needs strong military power and strong national support, otherwise it will just be a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water. The land in the Western Region is barren and the population is sparse, making it difficult to support the great cause of the Eastern Expedition. The only way is to go south first.  Only by destroying Xixia and accumulating national power step by step can it be possible to compete with Song and Jin. At this time, if you can't even destroy a small Xixia, how can you be qualified to participate in the confrontation between Song and Jin? Xixia is the rise of Xiliao.  The threshold. If you can't cross this threshold, everything will be in vain.  You can unite with the Song Dynasty and destroy Xixia together!  Yelu Dashi nodded: "Time is not waiting for me!"  Rectify the troops and march eastward to conquer Xixia!  "
