"Your Majesty, the commander of the Northwest, make a decision soon!"

"Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"I think we can send Zhongshuo to take charge."

"Zhongshu is old and the northwest is bitter and cold. How can I bear to let him go?"

"Your Majesty, the situation in the northwest is complicated, and Yelu Dashi is ready to move again. Now only the coach Zhong can take on this great task."

Zhao Huan had thought about this question. He was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

Xu Churen continued: "About the matter of the southwest franchise, the old nobles of Jiaozhou have already joined the King of Wei and King Yue. I am worried that it will have an impact on the stability of the situation in the southwest. I would like to ask Your Majesty to order all the old nobles of Jiaozhou to Tokyo."

Hou Shijie, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Imperial City Department, secretly sent the news back to the capital the day before yesterday. The emperor knew about this matter first than the ministers.

To others, this is indeed a big deal.

The situation in the southwest had just stabilized, and the lords of the fenced country got together as soon as they arrived, which obviously immediately complicated the situation in the southwest and was not conducive to the stability of the southwest.

"Is there any other way?"

Xu Churen said: "Moving to the capital is the safest way. The situation in Jiaozhou has been settled, and the old nobles have no effect. I will move this morning to prevent the raising of tigers."

Deep down in Xu Churen, he was still the conservative in the Song Dynasty, and his core idea was to try to avoid the emergence of contradictions.

But in fact, contradictions are inevitable.

It's just hidden.

Zhao Huan felt that there was no need to avoid the contradiction in the southwest.

Instead, it is necessary to intensify it. It is best to join Zhenla and Chameng, and after the chaos is in a mess, it is more legitimate to fight the war.

"Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry about the southwest. The court allocates a large amount of food to the southwest soldiers every year, and it is not for nothing."

"Your Majesty, last year and this year, due to the Yellow River flood and the Jiangling Prefecture drought, the total amount of food returned to the first year of Jingkang. We do not have enough food to support any war."

Zhao Huan was able to understand Xu Churen's concerns. The most important thing now is to seek stability and smoothly pass the impact of the Yellow River flood and the Jiangling Prefecture drought.

Food has now curbed the footsteps of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan disagreed with it. The southwest is different. The southwest and the northwest are completely different concepts.

Taking it down means a steady stream of food, all year round.

In the northwest, in addition to its important strategic position, the production of grain is not abundant.

Although the Hetao Plain is plump, winter is long after all.

"Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry about the situation in the southwest for now. He urges Zhang Jun more and lets him transport some more food, so the southwest will not be overwhelmed."

"yes."

"Tell Yelu Dashi that I will give him the food he wants."

"Your Majesty, no, Yelu Dashi has grown stronger. If you continue, it will be another Xia Kingdom."

"If you reply to him, just say I'll give it to him."

Seeing the emperor's face with a faint smile, Xu Churen immediately knew that the emperor was just talking.

"Your Majesty is the emperor. You have no jokes. If you don't give it to me, you will be ridiculed."

"Is it important for the people of the Song Dynasty, or is it important for my face?"

Zhao Huan still wants to save face, but even if Yelu Dashi is lying to him, the emperor's self-esteem is too strong.

Zhao Huan decided to agree to all the requests of Yelu Dashi, but he just refused to fulfill them. He delayed him for half a year first. After half a year, when the food problem eased, he asked him to come to the capital on the grounds of missing his brother-in-law.

If he doesn't come, he will not obey the order. If he does not obey the order, what else will he do?

In the past six years, thanks to his Yelu Dashi, who has restrained the Jin Kingdom tightly.

Now the Song Dynasty is strong and the latest generation of firearms will begin to be fully produced by the end of this year. Next year, the Yanyun War Zone and the Northwest War Zone will each invest 10,000 firearm camps.

Moreover, after destroying Xia, Zhao Huan also got a lot of good horses in the northwest. If Wanyan Sheng wanted to fight next year, Zhao Huan would be fully confident to fight head-on with the Jin army.

No matter whether he is Wanyan Zongwang or Wanyan Jinwushu.

When this kind of solution can be solved by force, Zhao Huan has never liked to be reasonable.

Fist is the biggest truth!

Xu Churen was so speechless that he was asked by the emperor for a moment.

The people are the most important, and the king is the least important, so the people are naturally more important.

Zhao Huan suddenly said, "I have nothing to do and go to see my husband Zhong to have tea. He is old and sick."

Xu Churen immediately knew to come over: "Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty!"

The most troublesome thing now is the problem in the northwest.

The sequelae after annexing the Xia Kingdom will not be cured in a short while. Such a problem is normal, but it also needs to be solved.

At present, the only one who can solve this problem is Master Zhong.

Zhao Huan was a little worried. After all, Master Zhong was already in his seventies and was still an official in the court. I am afraid that I won’t be able to hold on for long to go to the frontier.

Zong Ze is also old, what he lacks now is the marshal who is in his prime!

After Xu Churen left Yanfu Palace, he ran to the Military Governor's Office to find Zhong Shidao to have tea, and expressed his worries.

The next day, Zhong Shidao went to find Zhao Huan and petitioned to the northwest.

Zhao Huan firmly denied his request, but Zhong Shidao firmly resolutely made his request. In the end, the emperor was forced to issue a transfer order.

The marshal went to the northwest to take charge, but Zhang Jun was still in charge of the southwest.

He just met with King Zhao Zisong of Yue and King Zhao Shuxiang of Wei yesterday, and each mobilized 10,000 troops to escort Zhao Zisong and Zhao Shuxiang of their respective territories today.

The so-called fining land is the territory influenced by Chameng and Zhenla, and a piece of land is drawn.

Because there was no complete national concept in ancient times, those places, to be precise, can only be regarded as places influenced by Chameng and Zhenla.

Today, with the escort from Zhang Jun's army, the royal family felt much safer.

In Jiaozhou, the royal family members were officially separated.

The King of Wei went to Zhenla, and the King of Yue went to Chameng.

On this day, Zhao Zisong and his son Zhao Zhong summoned people from the clan to discuss the matter after the fiefdom.

The court not only arranged 20,000 troops to escort them, but also moved 20,000 people from Jiaozhou to go south to establish the country.

Zhao Zisong believed that with his army of 20,000, he could attack Chameng and take down the kings of Chameng, so he would not have to build it himself, and the plains in the south were even richer.

Zhao Zhongze believed that Wuming was the first to go out, and this battle should not be done easily.

He suggested sending an envoy to the capital of Chameng to greet the king of Chameng, after all, we will be neighboring countries in the future.

Others in the royal family also agreed with Zhao Zhong's idea.

"Dear uncles, Wengweng, we are now building a country in other people's territory, but we still send envoys to greet us. This is unreasonable. Our envoys will be killed. Soon the King of Chameng will send troops to attack us. We should prepare this morning."

A tender voice sounded, an eight-year-old child.

This child has beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes, and looks particularly energetic.

Although he was only eight years old, he felt old-fashioned when speaking.

Someone said: "Zhao Xing, adults speak, children should not interrupt."

Zhao Zhong knew that although Zhao Xing was young, he was different from ordinary people.

Zhao Zhong just listened to his advice and persuaded his father to choose Chameng.

Zhao Zhong didn't know that Zhao Xing was a child prodigy before, but the reason Zhao Xing gave was really convincing.

Chameng Kingdom had a smaller territory and a smaller population, which was more suitable for the founding of the country, and had a long coastline, so the sea transport was closer to the Song Dynasty. The most important thing was that Chameng rice was famous in the Song Dynasty.

Zhenla is vast, but it borders Siam to the west. Siam is one of the best in the south and is a powerful enemy.

Therefore, choosing Chameng with a smaller territory is the best.

It’s ridiculous that Uncle Zhao thought he had picked up a bargain after choosing Zhenla.

Zhao Zhong looked at Zhao Xing, and for a moment, he didn't know whether what he said was true or false. After all, his statement was different from the previous choice of territory and was not very convincing.

Of course, everyone won’t care about the statement of a child.

Everyone agreed to send an envoy.

Zhao Zisong, who had no experience in fighting and had no experience in governing the country, agreed to the proposal, so he sent an envoy to set out first and go to the capital of Chameng to meet the king of Chameng.
