Inside the fortress, teams of iron armor came out of the fortress and began to camp outside the fortress. More than 10,000 iron armor are crammed into a small fortress where only a few hundred people are usually stationed, and life is really inconvenient. Even eating and drinking Lazar are extremely restricted, so being stationed outside the fortress makes people feel very happy.

This war has stopped like this, and it will take at least a month or two for the Zhiyan quality in Tokyo to come back, but fortunately, the upper and lower yamen in Qinzhou are operating normally, but there will be no major chaos.

Liu Zhengyan had already bowed down in front of Zheng Zhi, and was grateful: "Thank you for your kindness, my Liu family has inherited the kindness of His Royal Highness King Yan for two generations, and since then the Liu family has led the horse and fallen for His Royal Highness, and he will be rewarded with death!" ”

Zheng Zhi got up a few steps, helped Liu Zhengyan up, and did not answer this sentence, but said with a smile: "Liu Xianggong, the army has just issued a strict order, from now on, the army will no longer bow down, to stand upright, there are ten violators, Liu Xianggong, you are the commander of the army, change to lead by example!" ”

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, his face was also smiling: "In the future, the subordinate officials will definitely not dare to violate the military order again!" ”

In this way back and forth, one expressed his loyalty, and the other accepted his heart.

Zheng Zhishi also smiled and said: "There is gold under the knees of men, literati are righteous, and martial artists are upright." In the future, the descendants of China will kneel down to their ancestors inside, and they can kneel and worship outside for sacrifices and ceremonies. This is a sign of respect and dignity. ”

Liu Zhengyan also nodded again and again when he heard this, but he didn't feel that there was anything unacceptable, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's words are very kind, and the man has gold under his knees!" ”

Zheng Zhi raised his hand and signaled slightly, and the two of them sat down separately, and then listened to Zheng Zhi say again: "Qinzhou soldiers, go to the outside of the pass, the land of Liaoyang Mansion is in need of elite defense." The army of the northwest, the best at defending the city, blocking the foreign tribes in the city, it is difficult for the Jurchens to cross this city! ”

Liu Zhengyan looked at the people left and right, and then nodded again and again and replied: "Your Highness's move is the most appropriate, I don't know if Your Highness has any errands for your subordinates?" ”

Zheng Zhi also nodded and said, "You should stay in Qin Feng and stabilize the overall situation in the northwest." ”

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Highness, the lower official is not long in Wenzhi, and he is a good man at the end of the battle, leaving the official in the northwest, it is better to let the lower official go out with His Royal Highness's military formation, which is even more suitable." ”

Liu Zhengyan's words said what he thought in his heart. In this northwest today, governance is the focus. Liu Zhengyan is obviously not good at it, rather than this, it is better to follow Zheng Zhi into battle and make contributions in the future.

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said: "If you stay in the northwest, you will also have an errand, and now outside Guazhou, there are still Hui people, which is also a disaster, and in the southern plateau, there are also Tubo tribes, which should also be pressured and deterred." Therefore, Yumen Pass and Yangguan and other city defense checkpoints should be established again to protect the land from being encroached upon. It was even possible to send troops to the west to conquer the tribes and territories of the Hui people, and to open a road to the west. Yelu Dashi has already gone to the west, and it will not be a few years before there will be a Khitan power in the west. Let you go west, but also for me to expand the territory of China. To the west, we should not only build checkpoints, but also build more forts along the way, and occupy more land in foreign cities, so as to open up territory for our China, and it will also go down in history in the future. As for the people under your command, divide 3,000 and go with so-and-so, and your cousin Liu Zhengjun will go with so-and-so. And so it will be all over your mind. ”

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, all that came to his mind was the scene of the yellow sand in the sky, but he nodded, unable to say the words to refute again, opening up the territory and expanding the territory, this word is really a little attractive to military generals.

"Your Highness, the people of Tibet, still have some courage. The Hui are not a problem, but the Tubo people are mostly on the plateau, and it is difficult to conquer. I don't know if in the future, will it be more important to focus on the Tubo people, or on the conquest of the Hui people? Liu Zhengyan asked, and he also explained a fact. The Tibetans are not simple, and they are also the great enemies of the Western Army. The Western Xia invaded the northwest, and the Tubo people also attacked with a combined army. Twenty or thirty years ago, there was a great war, Tubo and Western Xia joined forces to attack, and Dingyuan City was the center of the contention.

"The Tubo people are not a big trouble, in the past, they only fought with the party members, but now the party has been wiped out, and in the near future, the Tubo people should not dare to fight again. When the west is the mainstay, the return is like scattered sand, under the attack, when the state government is established, the fort is guarded. Zheng Zhi obviously attaches more importance to going west, which is much less labor-saving than going up the plateau, and the strategic significance is also more significant. As for the Tibetan issue here, we will talk about it later.

Zheng Zhi is already thinking about the future territory of this country, and there should be a basic plan in Zheng Zhi's hands. In many places, you can't give up, and you have to ask for what you want. What should be controlled, should also be controlled. The main road in and out of the East and the West, on the land route, in fact, on the whole, there is only one such one, which must be controlled in hand. Zheng Zhi still has a lot of things at hand, and Liu Zhengyan should be this pioneer.

The national grand strategy, from the steppe to the desert, from the tropical jungle to the plateau, and even the far north, beyond the Jurchen to the ice and snow of the North Pole. This eastern land should be a monopoly. It should even be ordered. Otherwise, such a great opportunity will be wasted.

Liu Zhengyan nodded, slightly melancholy, a young and beautiful child of a family, after all, he had to face the endless yellow sand, in fact, he was somewhat reluctant in his heart. Not to mention the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, nor the spring and autumn of Bianliang, even in this northwest, it is a good quality of life, only the yellow sand road, it is really only miserable.

The spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass, and there is no one in the west out of the Yangguan!

Zheng Zhi saw Liu Zhengyan's somewhat melancholy appearance, smiled, and took out a roll of silk from under the table, the silk had no pattern color, white as snow, but when Zheng Zhi slowly spread it out, the simple pattern outlined with simple lines on it was crooked.

Liu Zhengyan leaned over to look at it, and he couldn't see the reason for it for a long time.

After all the patterns were opened, Zheng Zhifang said: "This picture is not yet complete, the pattern is roughly drawn, and the text is still to be marked." The empty space is the vast sea, and the rest is the land. This is the land of all nations under the firmament, in which all men under the heavens are in? ”

Liu Zhengyan was dumbfounded when he heard it, this is a map, but this map looks a little strange.

Zheng Zhi clenched his fists and spoke again: "This is a rough picture, and the details still need to be measured and verified." In this world, it is not said that the sky is round and the place is round, but like a fist, it is a spherical shape. You see this place, it is the land of my China, the northeast goes to the sea, it is the island of the Japanese slaves, this side is Goryeo, to the north is the Jurchen, and then to the north, it is covered with ice and snow, to the west is the grassland, and to the east is the Hui. The old land of Western Xia is here, and further south, it is the land of the plateau, and the southwest edge of the plateau is the highest mountain range in the world. Since ancient times, to go to Tianzhu, you need to go all the way to the west, and then go down to the south to arrive, in fact, you can also reach the southwest of Tubo. ”

"The Uighurs went further west, and this was the land of the Turks, which was the Seljuk Turks, and the land of the extreme west, and now there was a great war, and the kingdoms of Christ God were at war with the people of Allah. At this time, the center of the war should be the beginning of the Seljuk and Byzantines, and the fighting should be fought for two hundred years before stopping. Zheng Zhi had the impression that this should also be the beginning of the Crusades.

When Zheng Zhi said this, he paused, looked at the other side again, and said again: "In the east of the ocean, there are countless territories, which are extremely vast. The people of this place, many backward people, like ancient slash-and-burn farming, for another land, do not receive things. The kingdom of Christ went south, the land of the black Kunlun slaves, and the land of slash-and-burn. ”

Zheng Zhi also gave a rough idea of this picture.

Liu Zhengyan naturally heard it in a fog, looked at this picture, looked at Zheng Zhi, and swallowed saliva again and again. looked left and right, but he also knew that Zheng Zhi was not joking, so he didn't ask questions, just pointed to the map and said: "Your Highness wants to come out from the west and compete with the Turks?" ”

Liu Zhengyan didn't know anything else, but in this northwest place, he could always meet some people who traveled from south to north, so he also knew where the Turks were now, and he also knew that the Turks were extremely powerful now.

Zheng Zhi nodded, expressing the meaning in his heart, but said again: "It's still early for all this, but a certain has taken a fancy to a piece of land, even if it is a hundred and ten years, future generations should control this territory in their hands." ”

Zheng Zhi pointed his finger on the map, a narrow outlet to the sea, Liu Zhengyan didn't know where it was even if he looked at the map, Zheng Zhi didn't say much, this is not what he said now.

But Zheng Zhi knew what was there! Beneath the ground, there's an endless stream of black gold. It will be a necessary thing for a nation to move into the future.

Liu Zhengyan was a little stunned, thousands of miles away, Zheng Zhi pointed at it casually, and he wanted such a piece of land. This piece of land, even if you walk on your legs, will also walk for more than a year or two. This kind of thought, where can I guess it.

Zheng Zhi picked up the pen again and slowly added some words to the map, such as Jiankun, such as Turkic...

While writing, I also relied on my own memory to explain two sentences briefly.

Liu Zhengyan just listened like this, he didn't ask, and he didn't know where to start, only when Zheng Zhi roughly circled the territory of the Turks, he let out a light sigh of surprise, but he really didn't expect that the Turks, who were extremely powerful during the Tang Dynasty and slowly disappeared after years of war, now established such a force in this other place.

Wu Yong was also stunned at this time, got up and stood aside, and couldn't ask a word.

In the big tent, Zheng Zhi was like a teacher, while talking, perfecting this map that was not very realistic.

Outside the big tent, in the barracks, they are already preparing in an orderly manner, preparing to open again tomorrow morning and go straight to Bianliang, Tokyo.

It is the center of China.

(ps: Don't spray anymore, when you can ask to surrender to the Jurchens in history, you have a heavy army in the northwest, and when you surrender, you didn't even see the Jurchen army, but you have been defeated by the Jurchens outside Taiyuan before.) When the Jurchens were poisoned and killed, there was also an emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Allah was still fighting to the death with the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was not even a Jurchen garrison in the northwest. Zhe Keqiu still has heavy troops, and the Jurchens in the northwest do not even have the threat of a large army, and they poisoned Zhe Keqiu to death in the territory of Zhe Keqiu, and there are countless people under Zhe Keqiu's command, and I have not seen anyone in the northwest kill the few Jurchens who were poisoned to Zhe. Zheng Zhi's situation is much more favorable than that of the Jurchens, so what's so unreasonable about asking for poisoning? ）
