The Wuthorn Sea is the Hetao area that Qian Heng values, and the Liao State has also been peeping at this area of Western Xia for a long time. Dong Qing has this judgment, which is not surprising at all.

"Dong Qing, then according to your judgment, how should we seize the Vulture Sea area?"

When Qian Heng said his ultimate goal, Dong Qing's eyes obviously flashed with a trace of excitement.

"The eastern vision, this Vulture Sea, because the river meanders are diverted too much, resulting in the separation of several tributaries, so the terrain is very special, but in this way, it has also created a fertile grassland and rich regional products, just because of the negligence of the Weifu Military Division of the Western Xia Black Mountain, most of them are in a barren state, what we have to do is to occupy the Vulture Sea region, and then take advantage of the opportunity when the Liao State has no time to take care of the border, along the border of the northern border of Western Xia all the way to the west, you can open up the Silk Road you said!"

Obviously, Dong Qing has also done an in-depth investigation of the situation in Western Xia and the surrounding area.

Qian Heng was very satisfied with Dong Qing's suggestion.

"Dong Qing, in the future, it will be up to you to arrange the business of operating the Vulture Sea and opening up the business to the West to the west, at this stage, you first contact as many merchants from the West as possible through the trade routes established in the Liao State and Western Xia, and I will arrange the matter of taking the Vulture Sea!"

At the beginning of April, the wildflowers in the mountains bloomed one after another, and many herdsmen from Tibet officially took over the grazing of horses under Qian Heng.

However, the Tubo Qingzhuang, who was really included in the Suide Army, was only more than 1,000 people, most of whom were under the hands of Wu Jue and Wu Ling's brothers, and in addition, Yang Zaixing, as the commander of Qian Heng's private army, screened out more than 2,000 people and became Qian Heng's direct military department.

Of course, the Northern Song Dynasty would never allow private soldiers to exist, so the batch of soldiers and horses controlled by Yang Zaixing all existed in the name of Qian Heng's family guard, and they galloped on the vast grassland in the name of protecting the safety of Qian Heng's family property.

What surprised Qian Heng the most was that more than 500 Tubo women actually took on the heavy responsibility of grazing war horses, even the elderly and children, they were all guarding the foot of the mountain near the new city, and quickly took over the cattle and sheep in the territory of the Suide Army and restored their identity as herdsmen.

In the afterglow of the sunset, guarding the cattle and sheep in the pen, looking at the young children playing happily on the grassland, the faces of the old herdsmen bloomed with bright smiles.

These old herdsmen knew that their owners had already let their word down, and for every ten of these cattle and sheep they were helping to graze, one would belong to them.

With the rich pastoral experience of these old herdsmen, in less than a year, there will be several more cattle and sheep of their own in their own homes.

Happy days are just around the corner.

In the middle of April, when the mountains and flowers were all over the ground and the spring equinox was coming, I saw that the new city was perfected, and everyone under my command was in order.

After Han Shizhong recruited several Tubo soldiers here, and the news that the seed master had returned to Yanzhou, Han Shizhong couldn't wait for Qian Heng to make other moves, so he could only return to Yanzhou.

After getting the news that the seed master Dao had returned to Yanzhou, Qian Heng could basically conclude that Fang La's rebellion was completely over.

For this reason, Qian Heng also wrote a letter to Zhao Butry.

Just when Qian Heng was pondering what excuse to find and penetrate his tentacles deep into Mingtang River, a subordinate quickly rushed to Qian Heng's approach, "Owner, there is a thin boy who calls himself Hou Chuan outside the city, with a dozen or so people, saying that it is your subordinate, and the martial steward is asking below." ”

Hou Chuan? Qian Heng's face suddenly showed a little joy.

Qian Heng hurriedly smiled, "Go and tell Wu Er that Hou Chuan is my person, and let Wu Er come up with Hou Chuan to meet me!" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

When his subordinates went down to deliver the letter, Qian Heng was excited, sat up from the handmade rocking chair, stepped on the weeds on the hillside, and looked in the direction of the new city under the mountain.

There was not much time, and under the leadership of Wu Song, Hou Chuan took ten brothers from the scout team and walked up the mountain.

As soon as Qian Heng approached, Hou Chuan took the lead and knelt down.

"My subordinates are ashamed of the cultivation of our adults, and now we have been removed from the military and become a homeless people, so please take them in!"

Hou Chuan was lying on the grass at this time, and he didn't dare to look up at Qian Heng at all.

Qian Heng looked at the eleven people on the ground, each of them had been trained by Qian Heng himself, although the ability of these guys to be scouts was not taught by himself, but some of the theories of being scouts in later generations, Qian Heng did not teach them less.

However, Hou Chuan's words just now made Qian Heng a little unclear.

"Hou Chuan, get up and tell me clearly, what serious thing happened that you will be expelled from the army?"

Being expelled from the military has little to do.

In this kind of strict military discipline in the ranks of the Western Army, especially in the army of the Zhejia Army, the punishment is even more severe.

Hou Chuan briefly told Qian Heng what he had committed with ten people.

Qian Heng understood.

Qian Heng was able to take Li Liangfu's head at the beginning, and Hou Chuan's scout team made great contributions, and the fold of the family army could be saved, and he also wrote a special book to apply for military merit rewards for Hou Chuan and others.

I haven't seen this military reward yet, but I was kicked out of the army in advance. The only reason is that when Hou Chuan was on a routine patrol again, there was an overstep.

Because he found a few suspicious figures, Hou Chuan took more than 30 brothers and chased them all the way, but he didn't expect to fall into the other party's calculations, and after a hard battle, only ten brothers remained, and fled back with Hou Chuan.

Knowing that he had violated military discipline, Hou Chuan still wanted to wait for the head of the Zhe family to come back before making a decision, but Zhe Kecun knew his nephew's temperament, if he knew that Hou Chuan had killed more than a dozen brothers because of his rashness, he would definitely punish Hou Chuan severely, and even abolish Hou Chuan's legs would be light.

Therefore, while Zhe Yanzhi had not returned to Fuzhou, Zhe Kecun urged Hou Chuan to leave Fuzhou with these people and defect to Qian Heng.

It is also accurate to calculate that Qian Heng will not look at Hou Chuan and a few people, so he made this arrangement.

Qian Heng understood in his heart that the so-called military discipline in the Western Army, especially the military discipline in the Zhejia Army, was just a means of checks and balances management.

"Okay, since General Zhe arranged for you to come to me, I can't help but continue, but then you should understand that it may be harder to follow me!"

Hearing that Qian Heng took them in, Hou Chuan kowtowed again and again, "Lord Xie takes care of it, and his subordinates will definitely do what we should do for the adults!" ”

"In addition to your military status, you will be my Qian family's houseguard in the future, and you will help me do things well!"

Qian Heng nodded with satisfaction.

After Hou Chuan thanked Qian Heng, he suddenly took a step forward and said, "Dongjia, when we came, we found three scouts from Western Xia, who are still tied to the trees in the middle of the mountain, and the Dongjia arranged for someone to bring them back, and we should be able to ask for a lot of valuable news!" ”
