Whether in ancient or modern times, the southwestern border of China is always full of various ethnic issues. Take the Song Dynasty where Zhao Xu was located for example. In order to stabilize the entire southern border, Zhao Kuangyin did not rebel against the southwestern tribes when the Song Dynasty fought against the Liao Kingdom, and gave a large amount of rewards to the chieftains at that time. Even so far, the territories of the chieftains there were like small kingdoms. Moreover, the complex terrain of the southwest region was rich in gold, copper, coal, forests, wood, jade and other reserves, and even rare mineral resources such as chromium and boron used in later generations.

, dozens of rare mineral resources such as mica, and in addition, the entire southwestern region includes the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, which has more than a thousand Chinese medicinal resources, such as snow lotus, Cordyceps sinensis, Fritillaria, Snow Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia elata and other rare Chinese medicinal materials. The most important thing is its strategic geographical location. Going west, straight into Pongjiala, and passing Nepal, you can bypass Tubo, and force India to the south, directly threaten Jiaozhi, Bagan, and Angkor dynasty. The entire Southeast Peninsula will be under the gaze of the Song Empire. Further south, the Great Sunda Islands will only become the possession of the Song Dynasty, and even the Ocean Islands in Australia will be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Just as Zhao Xu was still thinking, Lin Chong's voice rang outside his golden dragon tent

"My minister, Lin Chong, long live our emperor being called."

"Come in."

After hearing Zhao Xu's orders, Lin Chong stepped into Zhao Xu's tent and bowed to Zhao Xu in a formal manner, saying, "Your Majesty calls me to come late at night, I don't know what instructions."

Zhao Xu rubbed his temples, then looked up and said to Lin Chong: "Gory, a mere small country, is not afraid. It won't take long to take this entire Liaodong Peninsula to become the treasure of the Song Empire. Although this is the case, your Hualang's battle has just taken a small step." Zhao Xu waved to Lin Chong, pointing to the huge sand table in front of him and said: "Lin Qing family, come forward and see. The entire southwest of my Song Dynasty is full of mountain jungles, which is completely unfavorable to the large-scale spread of our army, so that it can carry out large-scale combat. In this environment, the most suitable for fighting in it is the Timberwolves under your Hualang, but the total number of Timberwolves is only a few hundred, so the jungle battle in the southwest border area of ​​our country still requires the strength of conventional troops. No matter how powerful you Hualang is, it is also a sharp knife and auxiliary."

"Your Majesty means that Hua Lang needs to train the imperial army stationed there to train jungle warfare?" Lin Chong asked Zhao Xu in confusion.

"Yes, if you want to talk about this jungle and mountain war, looking at all the troops of the entire empire, who else can compare with Hualang? So in order to enhance our army's combat capabilities in the jungles in the southern border, you Hualang have to work hard."

"It is a glory for a minister to be able to share the worries of His Majesty and the Empire. How dare I speak hard?"
