Duan Huaixian came back from the Holy Palace to meet Emperor Lumei. When he heard about the competition, his face was slightly dark and said, "In the future, if you encounter someone who comes to the door to provoke him, you can drive him out directly. My Xia army will not play tricks with them. They are mules or horses, and they will prove it with blood on the battlefield." Jin Changtai smiled and said, "Isn't that what you said? Zhao Dutou made a contribution this time." After saying that, he spread out the map along the Black Sea, which marked the complex forces of all parties. There are many merchant ships in the Black Sea and the islands along the coast, and many pirates have been bred.

Duan Huaixian said slowly: "Ten days later, our caravan returned to Haixi Port from Lumei. There were many robbers in the sea and needed protection." He paused and said, "The Emperor of Lumei has allowed us to send a team of 100 people to protect the merchants." He looked around the centurion and said in a deep voice: "Who will go?"

Wang Tongdeng shouted loudly: "I am willing to go!" He stayed in Lu Mei for many days, except for fighting and disputes with other troops, he had no place to use his skills. Now he has military service, so he should not be missed. Zhao De, Deng Xi, Liu Shangyou, and Ding Dayong came to his senses and said one after another: "I am willing to go!"

"Not bad!" Duan Huaixian nodded with satisfaction, "The military affairs will be borne by the head of the king." He looked at the other four centurions waiting to be argued, and said with a smile: "The elites of my Chengying Camp cannot be raised without blood. In the future, all of these military affairs will take turns to go out to fight." The four centurions gave up.

In Dunhuang Linquan Palace, in front of a huge topographic map, Prime Minister Liu Yi took a copy of a letter handed to him by Chen Xuan, looked at it ten lines at a glance, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "The original intention of Guandong is good, but can a hero in Bianliang cut off his arms? Even if it is forced by the situation, it should be terminally ill. This pair of powerful medicine is not to help, but to urge his life." After saying that, he put the copy back on the imperial table.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "This strategy is from the person who is the Ten Strategies of the Sea. The Prime Minister thinks, is this son available?"

Liu Yi was silent for a moment, looked up at the topographic map, and slowly said, "We should use the talents of the world to govern the world. If people's hearts are attached, it will be easier to obtain Guandong."

Chen Xuan put the copy back into the file. This scholar named Zhao Xingde was recommended by Chen Kang. Liu Yi came to the palace to meet the king, but he was doing another major event.

"The State of Dali sent an envoy to make a new official of our dynasty."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned. Every time the Guguo Mansion proposed to conquer Dali from Shu, and then seize the harbor eastward, the royal family and the lieutenant in Shu were ruthless, worried that the war would cause the people in Shu to exhaust their wealth. However, Chen Xuan knew very well that the trade in tea, horse, silk, and spices between Shu and Dali was so hot that the border troops of the two countries were like the same country during festivals and festivals. The Shu people were indulging in peace, so although the Xia Kingdom urgently needed access to sea, Shu always opposed the conquer Dali and always persuaded the monarch and ministers of Dali to change the Xia Kingdom to the forefront.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Is it because Meng persuaded me to succeed?" He paused and sighed, "I established my country with the army of Daxia, and I actually have vassals obtained by Huairou."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's true that Annan failed to invade Song, and attacked Dali again. Dali asked for help from Song State, but Song did not send reinforcements. So he wanted to surrender to our court." He paused and said, "Dali State had been in contact with the Meng family before. Since he had the intention of belonging, he wanted our country to send a minister to appease him."

"That's it." Chen Xuan looked up at the map of Dali Kingdom and asked, "No further ado, except for the Meng family in Shu, who is nearby?"

"The Prince of Bo Wang and Li Sihai, the captain of the Third Battalion of Chengying, led the base camp to patrol and protect the merchants nearby." Liu Yi said.

"Then let Li Sihai be the envoy of the country and let him take the Chengying Camp to Dali immediately on his mission." Chen Xuan said in a deep voice, "The Prime Minister's Office has decided on an advance and retreat strategy, and he will make a quick decision on the rest." He paused and said, "We must incorporate Dali into the system of our dynasty and strive for an independent harbor and settlement." He turned around and looked at the map. After obtaining Dali, it was not only about to open up the South China Sea, but also formed an encirclement of Song State. If we really use troops to Guandong and a surprise soldier comes from Dali and pass through Lingnan, we can greatly shorten the war process. "The accumulation of national power over the past century, even the Dali State far in the southwest can see the belonging of the world. How far is the heart of the people in the Central Plains?" Chen Xuan said secretly.

After a while, Chen Xuan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "The Liao Kingdom has repeatedly defeated the Jurchen tribes, and the Jurchens have besieged Huanglong Mansion. The Military Information Department reported that Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty was recruiting elite warriors from the eight Khitan tribes and preparing to lead the imperial expedition. However, the leaders of the Khitan tribes were all evasive and refused to take out the warriors in the clan, which weakened the strength of his tribe." His implication was that he was not optimistic about the Liao Emperor's personal expedition this time. The system of the Liao Kingdom was very different from that of the Xia Kingdom. The imperial power of the Xia Kingdom was approved by the Prime Minister, the Captain's Mansion, and the General's Mansion.

If the proposal of Emperor Chen Xuan is not appropriate, he will refute it. Chen Xuan can only find a way to convince the five governments to promote national affairs. Although the decisions will sometimes be slower, the victory is that he will not allow the emperor to be stubborn and do whatever he wants. However, the emperor of Liao Kingdom Yelu Yanxi is not like this. This monarch cannot tolerate anyone in the court who is wiser and braver than him, often takes charge of national affairs, and kills Khitan ministers, making the nobles disinterested him. Although there are elite soldiers and generals in the country, they are even surrounded by flattering and incompetent ministers.

"This Jurchen tribe is likely to be a big problem." Chen Xuan said in a deep voice, "What is the situation of the Liaodong Han army? Is there any potential to balance the Jurchens' growth?"

"Since the defeat of Han, the Liao Dynasty suppressed the Han people more and more, and even gradually abolished the saying of Ding Zhi in the Han army. Those scattered Han troops who were stranded in Nanjing and Tokyo Road were really not in a state of chaos," Liu Yi pondered the words and said slowly, "The descendants of Han family came to Dunhuang this time, following the example of Shen Baoxu and Qin Quezhi."

Chen Xuan nodded slowly, and Liu Yi said again: "Because of its own weakness, the Haner Army in Tokyo now has a vague saying that it has alliance with the Jurchen tribe to fight against Liao. This is also the last resort to survival. The Haner Army has a large number of people and many good craftsmen. The Jurchen tribe is also striving for it. If the Haner Army wants to alliance with the Jurchen people, then take down the Huanglong Mansion, Liaoyang Mansion, and Nanjing Mansion, Haner in Nanjing Road has its roots. At that time, the Liao Kingdom will be difficult to resist."

"If our dynasty ignores it, the Liaodong Hans will probably surrender to the Jurchens, right?" Chen Xuan's face changed slightly and he sighed, "It seems that the matter of aiding the Liaodong Han people is imperative."

Liu Yi nodded: "Compared with the Jurchens who just rose, a weak Liao Kingdom is more beneficial to our dynasty."

After the report, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Today, the Prime Minister brought me this joy and sorrow, but I only reported you a good news. A craftsman named Chunyu Zhen in Guanzhong who was good at casting cannons, actually reduced the weight of the four-inch heavy cannon to within 3,000 kilograms. The Ordnance Department has given Chunyu Zhen a golden reward and will continue to fund him."

In the early morning, the willow branches were wet with dewdrops, as delicate as pearls. Tan Haoran tidied his clothes, and before leaving, he grinned his white teeth at the bronze mirror and made a graceful smile. Then Shiran went out and went straight to Sun Jixiang Pharmacy. His ancestors started with wool textiles, and until now, he is also the owner of the one-of-a-kind sheep weaving workshop in Guanzhong. Tan Haoran's vision was originally very high. When he bought incense medicine, a woman with elegant temperament was talking to the boss's wife. When Tan Haoran saw it, he suddenly left his body and returned home. He could not forget it for a long time. The boss of the incense pharmacy, Gu, who runs the incense pharmacy, was the most sharp-tongued. Mr. Tan couldn't take his face and asked her about the beauty's life experience, so he could only go to the incense pharmacy often, hoping to see the beauty again.

Just at the door of the fragrant pharmacy, Tan Haoran saw his enemy and his face was slightly cold. Xiao You smiled and said, "We are always destined to meet Mr. Tan."
