Qilian Mountains.

The Qilian Mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the glaciers never melt for many years, like white Hadas hanging on the gods of the snow-capped mountains. They are lying on the snow-capped mountains like white tigers hiding or coiling like silver snakes. Under the sunlight, they are even more magnificent.

It is said that the snow water of Qilian Mountains nurtured the Hexi Corridor. This sentence is true at all. The Heihe, which originated from Qilian Mountains, gave this arid land the most gentle care...

The biggest feature of the Hexi Corridor is the Gobi Desert. This is different from the desert, but sandy and stone land. Only camel thorns can survive. Camel thorns are a kind of thorns. Only camels can chew finely and swallow them. The human stomach cannot digest. Camels can eat dozens of kilograms of things and do not eat them for three or four months. Therefore, the meat is very heavy and cannot be bitten, and it feels as hard as a stone. Without suitable cooking methods, the herdsmen will not kill camels to get the meat...

Camel palms and hump are naturally the most delicious places on camels. These places are used to pay taxes. Killing a cow requires paying a ox leg, and killing a camel naturally requires paying a camel palms and hump…

The camel palms and hump peaks in the imperial city of Xixia are piled up like mountains...

When the Mozang family came out of the Chengtian Temple he built, they had not yet awakened from the beautiful illusion brought by the Buddha, they saw a yellow world. The relics of the Buddha's top in the stupa hidden in the pagoda and the Tripitaka given by Zhao Zhen did not allow Xixia to avoid the arrival of this drought. As the mother of the nomadic people, the Mozang family only glanced at the grass more than an inch long on the ground and ordered the convening of important officials from Xixia to Chengtian Temple to discuss countermeasures.

This is just early summer. In previous years, Xingqing Prefecture should have been lush at this time...

Wu Zang Epang did not want Wu Zang to come out of Chengtian Temple, especially the little boy in Wu Zang's arms was a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

Wuzang clan understood the situation of Xixia in a very short time. The world was not as beautiful as his brother said. From Shazhou to Xiping Military Office, to Suzhou, Xuanhua Prefecture, Yanzhi Mountain, Xiliang Prefecture, the entire Hexi Corridor was already full of sorrow. Due to insufficient forage, a large number of livestock had been slaughtered. The lake water of Huaizhou Shahu Lake was only 60% of the previous years. In addition to some fields that could barely irrigate in Jingzhou, the grain produced in Xixia, the rest of the areas that were affected by disasters were forbidden.

The horse thieves from the Uighurs in Xizhou had invaded Shazhou, broke into three military camps in a row, and captured a large amount of food and livestock... The Xixia people in the Hexi Corridor were already on the verge of despair.

"We have an appointment with State of Song before. Once disaster occurs, the annual monies will be paid in the form of food..." Before the Mozang family could finish their words, the Prime Minister of State Mozang Epang continued: "Song State is too busy to take care of itself this year. I heard that there are as many as one million victims in Hedong and Hexi."

The Mozang family glanced at Mozang Epang and continued: "Agreement is an agreement. We cannot lose the annual monies of our country because of the disaster. We all know what the annual monies are. It is the safe money paid by the Song State, Huo Chiming! Go to Tokyo to tell the emperor of the Song State that the annual monies this year can only be food, and we need to increase by 30% on the original basis!"

Mozang Epang raised his hand to stop Huo Chiming who was about to go out, and bowed to the Mozang clan: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, the Song State is different from the past. Di Qing and Yun Zheng's southern expedition were successful, which greatly boosted the morale of the Song State and the people. You offered such conditions, which is actually telling the Emperor of Song that we are going to fight."

The Mozang family looked at Mozang Epang again and said, "War is inevitable, and we cannot escape this disaster. Since things cannot be done, we can only pass on the losses to the Song State. If the Song State does not give it to us, we will rob it. This is the way for wolf to survive. Mozang Epang, you have been vigorously promoting the sinicization of the people over the years. Do you say that you have forgotten the fact that our ancestors were wolfs?

Huo Chiming immediately went on an envoy to ask the emperor of Song State whether to give us food. If not, those warriors who should have starved to death in the Western Xia will die in the battle in Song State!"

The hesitant Huo Chiming saw that Mozang Epang closed his mouth, and hurriedly left the hall to prepare for the mission.

"Xiping Army Head north and regained our cattle, sheep and food. Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Head, and Xishoubaotai Army Headquarters entered Lanzhou. Ask Jiaosiluo if he would use the passage to let us attack Qinzhou. If he doesn't want to, we don't mind killing all the way."

Seeing that the Wuzang family was stubborn, a woman who had no experience in fighting now began to command the army to fight, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Since the queen mother has made up her mind, let me arrange the military strategy."

Jiao Siluo was seriously ill, and his three sons were fighting openly and secretly. Although Jiao Siluo accepted the title of Song State, they had many internal conflicts, so we need to say things like using the way, because Jiao Siluo knew that once we successfully use the way, he would definitely be the ones we would go back to deal with. With him on our back, we would have no way to raise food with peace of mind. We could only defeat them in one fell swoop.

I think the Empress Dowager's method is not available, because if we want to attack the wealthy Qinzhou, we must first defeat Jiaosiluo and then defeat the famous minister of Song State Fu Bi. None of these two people are good people. Once the Xishoubaotai Army Department leaves Qu Wushan, the Jingsai Army Department cannot stop the attacks of the Huaide Army of Song State, the Zhenrong Army, and the Dingbian Army of Huanzhou.

I heard that the Song State has been continuously strengthening the power of the Western Army over the years. The Dingbian Army in Huanzhou has been reborn and it is not easy to deal with this person. What's more, the Song army has been equipped with a new type of gunpowder weapon.

The Queen Mother still remembers the big explosion in Prince Ning Lingge's mansion. That explosion caused the Xixia elite to hurt Taiban, and the culprit was Yun Zheng, the thief.

If the Queen Mother insists on going south, please come up with a complete solution.”

The Mozang clan stood up and bowed to Mozang Epang and said, "The prime minister is a mature country, and every word is heartfelt. How can the queen not accept loyal advice? It's just that disasters don't wait for others. The queen would rather those warriors die in the battlefield than watch them starve to death. Where to go, I ask the prime minister to make a decision early." After saying that, he picked up Liang Zuo, who was drooling, and walked into the depths of the Buddhist temple.

Gong Feng, the secretary of Xingqing Prefecture, came to Mozang Epang and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, the grain stored in Xingqing Prefecture is only enough for three months. If we still have no food in three months, Xingqing Prefecture will be completely in chaos."

"In September last year, I ordered people to transport 300,000 dan of grain from Huaizhou. This grain is enough for the people of Xingqing Prefecture to eat for seven months. In addition, there are still 200,000 dan of grain stored in Xingqing Prefecture and 150,000 dan of taxes paid in Jingzhou. Come and tell me where are the rest of the grain?"

Mozang Epang stared at the upstart in Xixia. He couldn't reach Xingqing Mansion and knew nothing about the matter here, but the extra 350,000 harbors of food could not have been lost like this.
