Zhao Huan looked at the map in front of him.

It is the seventh year of conquering the Party.

That piece of land originally belonged to China.

For example, before Pingxi Prefecture, it was called Lingzhou.

The Dangxiang people moved from the plateau and occupied this area while the Song Dynasty was inactive.

It can develop because this is a good place for Tianbao.

Especially from Xingqing Prefecture to Hengshan, it is known as the "Jiangnan on the Frontier".

The scenery is beautiful, the land is fertile, and the grain output is extremely high.

After destroying the Xia Kingdom himself, he sent Chen Fu to Hetao, where he devoted himself to developing agriculture.

By now when Tang Ke arrived in Hetao, it was already a granary with the grain output of the Song Dynasty that was comparable to that of Jiangnan.

The grain in Hetao not only provides military rations to the Northwest Army stationed in Shazhou and other places, but also transports it to Shaanxi and supplies it to Chang'an.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong has withered.

The governance of Hetao also played a part in improving the fatigue in Guanzhong.

The highway built by the imperial court in Chang'an and Xingqing Prefectures was put into use three years ago, with a large number of grain coming and going.

Chang'an is becoming more and more prosperous.

In the past decade, the population in the northwest has increased exponentially.

After the improvement of roads and food reserve facilities, as long as the war does not come, the food crisis will be completely resolved.

So, the offense to Gaochang is definitely the mainstream voice of the domestic main war.

He was confident and had huge commercial profits in front of him, and the imperial court put forward the slogan of restoring the Han territory.

Even the words "Restoring Han territory" are written on the walls of Shaanxi.

The elderly at the village entrance are even more honored to be someone from their families joining the army, and they become the biggest topic of conversation when chatting.

People from all walks of life have shown unprecedented enthusiasm and pride.

As April began, officials in Liaodong were on the way to take office, which was also an explanation for the situation in Liaodong.

Except for the ministers in the court who impeached Li Chongguang to kill people in Liaodong without blinking, there is no other trouble.

The focus of the court began to slowly shift to the northwest.

Whether from the perspective of border security, trade, and Jiaozi issuance, it is imperative to conquer Gaochang and continue to conquer the west.

What's more, Zhao Huan also planned to push Tianzhu all the way to Tianzhu, and the navy with Li Bao in the imperial celestial army was attacked from north to south, so that Tianzhu could completely accept the baptism of Wang Hua.

Drink the Horses and Ganges!

Everything is going in an orderly manner.

The Privy Council began preparing military rations in February.

Worried that Hetao's original grain supply system would be affected by the war and would be implicated in the northwest grain prices, Yu Yunwen proposed to Zhao Huan to allocate grain from the Central Plains and Jiangnan to enter the northwest and make good reserves.

Two months ago, the news that tens of thousands of troops in Gaochang State were wiped out under the iron cavalry of the moon army made Gaochang King Bilege anxious.

According to the spies' returns, there were two factions in Gaochang, one was the main battle, and the other was the main harmony.

The peace sect believed that the Song Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, and that the Song army was invincible in the world, and Gaochang was definitely not an opponent. He should bow down to his ministers and offer sacrifices every year.

The war-promoted faction believed that the Song Dynasty emperor was insatiable and not just wanted Gaochang to be the vassal. He wanted to completely destroy Gaochang, and all knowledgeable people would resist the tyranny of the Song Dynasty emperor.

On that day, Zhao Chen had just finished lunch and asked Zhao Sheng to come to see him.

"Zhao Ling, now that wars in the northwest are about to begin, is it an unwise thing to say I stay in Liaodong?" Zhao Chen was worried. He felt more and more that he was far away from the throne. "If I apply to the government to go to the northwest and go to the battlefield to make achievements, it is better than staying here."

"The northwest is naturally full of straits and changes in the situation, but it is not an opportunity for Duke Chong."

Zhao Chen was a little displeased: "What do you say?"

"There are Yue Fei and Wu Jie in the northwest. Both of them are selfless. The military discipline in the northwest is as good as a mountain. When Duke Chong left, he could not strengthen himself with his own status. Instead, he might have conflicts with the generals under Yue Fei. Yue Fei is also a favorite general of the official family. The husband of Emperor Yifu, Duke Chong cannot erect this enemy."

"Then I think what to do. I can't seize such a good opportunity at the moment. Could it be that I must be a magistrate in Xianzhou for several years?"

Zhao Xing sighed in his heart: Duke Chongguo was so impatient. With such a mind, how could he make achievements in the power field of the Song Dynasty?

Zhao Xing said: "First, Xianzhou was handed over to Duke Chong by Your Majesty himself. If Xianzhou is well managed, Your Majesty will naturally look at Duke Chong with a different look. Although Your Majesty values ​​martial arts, he will definitely not neglect literary affairs. The way to govern the country is the way of the emperor; Second, after the great changes in Liaodong, it is definitely a great opportunity for Duke Chong."

"You can tell me in detail."

"First, the Han family in Youzhou has been restrained. The Shangyu Department has not approved the mining land for the Han family in recent months, and the share of railways and highways has also decreased significantly. Within a few years, the Han family has to be low-key. Second, the ministers in the court led by Chen Yang and He Ye are all impeaching Li Chongguang to kill in Liaodong. This person is notorious in the court. Since the Northern Expedition to Destroy Jin, this person is a member of the Yanyun Army in the Zong Shishi, but in fact he is not convinced. He is greedy for merit and is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He has formed his own faction. He has the ambition of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and he is salivating for the position of military governor."

"What do you mean is to win over Li Chongguang?"

"Li Chongguang is our best choice and the most suitable general for you, Duke Chong." Zhao Xing analyzed his thoughts clearly, "It just so happens that he also needs an important person to serve as a backstage for him and give him a bright future."

"Then how should I get in touch with him?" Zhao Chen was moved by the words, "Now I am in Xianzhou and Li Chongguang is in Shangjing Prefecture."

"This is not difficult. Duke Chongguo reported to His Majesty that he could meet with Li Chongguang privately on the grounds of visiting Shangjing, conducting an investigation and learning of Shangjing's governance. This will not only not make the population more substantial, but will also make His Majesty think that you are dedicated to the country and the people."

"Okay, just do what you said!"

Zhao Chen was excited to write a memorial to Zhao Huan and ordered people to send it to Tokyo.

After reading Zhao Chen's letter, Zhao Huan agreed to Zhao Chen without hesitation.

However, he still said to Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian expressed his concern. After all, Shangjing is the core of the barbarian nobles. Although there is a large army stationed in the court and Li Gang is in charge, the court has just executed a group of barbarian nobles, and those barbarians hate the court to the core.

Zhu Lian was worried about going to Shangjing Prefecture this time.

Relatively speaking, Xianzhou is much safer.

"Brother Chen'er is a boy who doesn't know the importance of the matter, so the official does not need to agree to him in fact."

"It's okay, Brother Chen has twenty-two now. All the pirates in the South China Sea have been killed. I'm afraid of any barbarians. Li Gang is in Tokyo City, and Li Chongguang has made many good news recently. Don't worry, the saint."

Zhu Lian didn't say anything anymore.
