Chapter 434: Expanding East and West

Chang'an City, after receiving the news that Zhang Chujiu brought back, Zhao Shuo chuckled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info: "This time my uncle should be able to remember a long time. ā€

"Lord Wang, will your uncle be angry and attack us with a large army." Zhang Chujiu expressed his worries.

"He should also think of a north-south strategy, so he shouldn't attack us until Mutuo recovers." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo asked again. "The Song army deserted and competed, the food was not crowded, Liu Guangshi had already killed horses to satisfy hunger, how long do you think they could hold on?"

"What, does the prince still have to help them tide over the difficulties?" Zhang Chujiu asked suspiciously.

"You can run, you can run, but you can't die." As he spoke, Zhao Shuo raised his head slightly.

"If you go on this way, it's good to be able to go back to the south." Zhang Chujiu pondered for a moment and said. "In the end, I'm afraid there will be a phenomenon of cannibalism......"

"That's not going to work." Zhao Shuo interrupted Zhang Chujiu. "Tell the rich along the way, just make a little money, don't be so deducted, it's starving to death, it's not a good thing."

"Lord Wang, they are the army of the Song Dynasty, our enemy, starve a few people, isn't it more beneficial for us?" Fluttershy, who was taking care of Zhao Shuo, spoke.

"It's nothing to starve to death three or two, but as many people starve to death, the Song army will inevitably be unable to bury them, so these dead bodies will be thrown down along the way and then decompose." Zhao Shuo twisted his eyebrows slightly. "You all remember the epidemic caused by refugees."

Zhao Shuo said that when he was in Lin'an, a large number of refugees poured into Lin'an, and Zhao Shuo tried to solve the problem of refugees, saying that he proposed to control the epidemic.

Living people, just too dirty, too messy will cause epidemics, and now if there are a large number of people, wouldn't it be even more serious.

And the Song army went all the way south, leaving corpses all the way, when the time came, not many people in the Song army returned to the south of the Huai River, and the dead bodies were left in the land north of the Huai River to the Kerebu, once there was an epidemic, Zhao Shuo controlled the area, the whole people would inevitably panic, and it was inevitable that there would be deaths and injuries, and what was even more terrifying was that this was bound to break the peaceful environment that Zhao Shuo needed. This is something that Zhao Shuo can't accept no matter what.

"Then let these hundreds of thousands of people leave?" Fluttershy pouts. "Isn't that too cheap for them?"

"There's no way, it's okay to kill and bury it, but if you want to do this, you have to arrange people behind Song Jun all the time, and bury the corpse while following it, which is not a small consumption for us. Also, if these hundreds of thousands of people died under my control, it would be a problem for my uncle to go crazy. Zhao Shuo looked a little helpless.

"That being said, I still ...... just let them go" Zhang Chujiu still wanted to complain, but at this time, Mo Qi walked in quickly.

"Meet the prince, Captain Zhang." Mo Qi first saluted Zhao Shuo, and then arched his hand at Zhang Chujiu.

Mo Qi is now following Zhang Chujiu and is Zhang Chujiu's deputy general, and when Zhang Chujiu is away, Mo Qi is responsible for the collection of information. Now in the official position, he is already a lieutenant.

"Mo Qi, you're not sitting at home, what's the matter with coming here?" Zhang Chujiu retracted his complaint and looked at Mo Qi.

"He must have something important to do here, so he still needs to ask." Zhao Shuo glanced at Zhang Chujiu helplessly, and then looked at Mo Qi. "Mo Qi, tell me, what's the matter?"

Mo Qi bowed slightly and said. "Lord, there is the latest news from the Hamuhei Mongolian Kingdom, the Hamuhei Mongolian Kingdom has changed its name to Mongolia and formulated a new national policy."

"Changed to Mongolia?" Zhao Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity. "It's been changed to Mongolia."

Zhao Shuo was a little helpless in his heart, he knew very well what the appearance of the word Mongolia meant.

"You just said that they made a new national policy, what is it?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo was stunned, Zhang Chujiu asked this question.

"Expanding east and west, this is the new national policy formulated by Muto." Mo Qi replied.

"Expand east and west!" Zhang Chujiu showed a hint of a smile. "Luckily, they didn't continue to fight us."

In Zhang Chujiu's view, the eastward expansion and westward expansion had nothing to do with the lands in southern Mongolia controlled by Zhao Shuo, which also achieved the peaceful environment that Zhao Shuo needed.

"I'm afraid that the Kerebu will be the target of Muto's attack again!" Mo Qi raised his concerns.

Zhang Chujiu was stunned, he didn't expect Mo Qi to think of the Keree Ministry, but he was thinking of all the lands in the south except for the Keree Ministry.

Zhang Chujiu was a little embarrassed, thinking that he really shouldn't be, how could he forget the Keree Department who had just returned to him!

When Zhang Chujiu was embarrassed, Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly. "The Kereh Ministry will be fine, Mutuo will not dare to make a move against the Kereh Ministry in a short time, because the Kereh Ministry belongs to me now."

"So, Muto's change of national policy has nothing to do with us?" Mo Qi blinked, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"What are you happy about?" Zhao Shuo looked at Mo Qi helplessly. "Mongolia's strategy of 'expanding east and west' is not a good thing for us."

"Didn't the prince say that they wouldn't attack us?" Mo Qi looked puzzled.

"Eastward, where is it entering? Expanding westward, where is the expansion? Zhao Shuo asked.

"Eastward ......" Mo Qi thought about the location of Mongolia in his mind. To the east of Mongolia are the kingdoms of Zhachibu and Jin. Expanding to the west, ......" Mo Qi pondered again. "If you don't count the Kereh Tribe, they have already annexed the Mi'er Beggars, and further west it should be the Han Yi Thorn Division, and then the Western Liao."

"If they destroy the Jin Kingdom and Western Liao, they will form a huge encirclement of us in the north, and my uncle will intercept us in the south. If we are attacked at the same time, we will be in a difficult position. Zhao Shuo expressed concern.

"No, the strength of Jin and Western Liao is not weak, Mutuo just wants to occupy it, they should be able to hold on for a while, only they drag Mutuo for enough time, after we develop, even if Song and Mongolia attack at the same time, we are not afraid." Zhang Chujiu said.

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "You guys go down first, I'm going to think about it."

Seeing Zhao Shuo like this, Mo Qi and Zhang Chujiu saluted and wanted to leave.

At this time, Zhao Shuo suddenly stopped Zhang Chujiu. "On the ninth day of the first month, the Song Army should still have some small cannonballs, and told the people on the road that they can also exchange this for some food."

"Yes, lord." Zhang Chujiu saluted, and then left with Mo Qi.

"Lord ......," Fluttershy began, trying to comfort Zhao Shuo.

"Fluttershy!" Zhao Shuo showed a wry smile. "You go down too, and leave me alone for a while."
