With this thought, Qian Heng's thoughts could no longer stop.

In the area to which the Suide army belonged, there were several tributaries that flowed into the Yellow River, and on both sides of these rivers there were relatively fertile river plains.

Not only that, there is a river called Mingtang River, the source and most of the main stream, are in the territory of Western Xia, it is the two banks of this Mingtang River, fertile grassland, and fertile pasture, raising a large number of cattle and sheep, of course, as a war horse used in the horse is not a few.

As for the manpower of the Tubo and Uighur tribes mentioned by Wu Song, Qian Heng was also very moved.

Qian Heng was not very clear about the situation of the Tibetan tribes, but he did not expect that Wu Song was very familiar with the situation on this side.

According to Wu Song, in the years when he followed Huang Shang, Wu Song listened to Huang Sheng talk about the general trend of the world in his spare time. In other words, it is a post-mortem analysis of many things that have happened in Huang Shang, which involves the grievances and entanglements between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and of course, the war between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty is indispensable, and the participation of the Tibetan tribes is indispensable.

As the leader of the Tubo tribes of the Qingtang Dynasty, he united with the Western Xia to attack the Great Song Dynasty several times, and after the defeat, he surrendered to the Song Dynasty again and accepted the official position granted by the Great Song Dynasty. When the Tibetan tribes had a different heart, they were defeated once by the Great Song Dynasty, and by the time Xi Cheng Luosa ruled the Tubo Hehuang region, the entire Tibetan tribes had reached the stage of falling apart and going their own way.

Especially after Xi Cheng Luosa once again took refuge in Western Xia, the entire Tibetan tribes fell into the chaos of the various tribes.

Originally, during the reign of the Tu Gang Luo, the stable development of herding and commerce was completely disrupted, and the herdsmen living in the Tibetan tribes, as well as the Uighur and Khotanese merchants who mainly engaged in business, also disappeared completely, and the entire people of the Tibetan tribes once again fell into poverty and the war and chaos of various tribes.

The information provided by Wu Song was enough for Qian Heng to have a new understanding of the situation on the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia.

Qian Heng knew that a few years ago, Tong Guan led the Western Army, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and killed the Western Xia and surrendered in embarrassment. However, last year, Western Xia once again sent his general Li Liangfu to respond to Emperor Tianzuo of Northern Liao, and at the same time, he also wanted to deter the western army of Fuzhou.

Therefore, last year, Qian Hengcai took the soldiers he personally trained to break into the Xixia camp and take the head of Li Liangfu, so that Xixia could be honest again.

However, the attitude of the Western Xia to admit defeat is not credible, and only by completely destroying the Western Xia regime can the northwestern border of the Great Song Dynasty be completely stable and worry-free.

It's just that at this time, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was weak, and the situation that could still encircle and suppress Western Xia on three sides was already left, and only the southern side of Western Xia was left, and the Great Song Dynasty could exert itself.

In the east of Western Xia, there were constantly disputed Tibetan tribes, and in the west there was the Liao State that was busy dealing with the Jin soldiers, and as for the Mengwu Murwei in the north of Western Xia, they had not yet unified the Tatar, Kereh, Naiman and other tribes, and had not grown into a powerful Mongol tribe that could confront the Jin State.

What Qian Heng could do was to take the territory of the Suide Army as the foundation and gradually expand the influence area of the Great Song Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Qian Heng ordered someone to invite Han Shizhong over.

If you want to say that you know the most about the current situation on the border of Western Xia, it is not the little general Yan Chong who sits in Yanzhou, but the talented Han Liangchen in front of him.

As one of the four famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Liangchen is not comparable to ordinary generals in terms of pattern and vision.

Therefore, Qian Heng did not hide his intentions, and asked directly, "Liangchen, you can help me analyze it, if I go to Tubo to buy some people to come over and help me reclaim and manage the territory of the Suide Army, do you think this method is feasible?" ”

Han Shizhong really didn't expect that Qian Heng would have such a big idea. Qian Heng revealed last night that he would manage the territory of the Suide Army well, but he had to recruit people to reclaim the territory, which was not as simple as just governing the territory.

Han Shizhong hurriedly asked, "Lord Qian, what are you going to do?" As far as I know, although there are not many subjects on the land of the Suide Army, there are nearly 100,000 or so, how can it be enough for you, right? ”

Qian Heng smiled, "Then let me ask you, who are these 100,000 people on the land of the Suide Army?" What do you do for a living? ”

Han Shizhong's face was a little ugly, and he smiled a little bitterly, "Lord Qian, in fact, what is the situation of the Suide Army, I know better than anyone else, where is it said that there are 100,000 people, but basically they are all old and frail veterans of the Western Army, because their hometown has no thoughts, so they stay in the Suide Army territory together, and they retire together. ”

Qian Heng's face was also a little gloomy, although he knew that the territory of the Suide Army was remote, but he didn't expect that it would actually belong to the burial place of veterans. As for what those veterans live on, there is no need to ask Qian Heng more, at most it is the pension rations of some veterans, and you can imagine how poor those days were.

The more this is the case, the more determined Qian Heng is to transform the territory of the Suide Army.

"Mingchen, let me tell you this, I want to turn the Suide Army territory into my Great Song Dynasty grazing land, if I remember correctly, in the Suide Army territory, there are several Yellow River tributaries passing by, if it is renovated, it should not be difficult to grow a fertile pasture land, right?"

Han Shizhong smiled bitterly, "Lord Qian, it's not a secret, everyone knows that the grass on the riverside beach is all over the field, but the difficulty is that there is no basis for mare breeding, and no herdsmen will go to live in the territory of the Suide Army, everyone knows that my Great Song Dynasty is short of horses, at the beginning, there were occasionally herdsmen from the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, who came to the border area of the Suide Army territory to graze, and later after being robbed by the garrison of the Suide Army a few times, they would not drive horses to graze in my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Qian Heng can't say anything about Song Bing's practice of killing chickens and taking eggs, what needs to be solved now is how to attract a large number of people into the territory of the Suide Army and quickly use the land of the Suide Army.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng suddenly asked, "If I want to recruit a large number of herdsmen to come to my Suide Army's territory, what do the ministers think of this method?" ”

Han Shizhong was a little surprised, but still replied, "If Lord Qian can recruit herdsmen, of course it is a good thing, but this thing is not easy to do, it is impossible for the herdsmen of Western Xia and Liao to come to my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "I didn't expect the herdsmen of Western Xia and Liao to come!" ”

Han Shizhong's eyes also lit up, "Lord Qian, could it be that you are fighting the idea of the Tibetan herdsmen?" ”

is worthy of being a seedling of a famous general, Han Shizhong's vision and pattern are really strong enough, before Qian Heng mentioned Tubo, Han Shizhong had already thought of the intention of recruiting herdsmen from Tubo.
