Xuanfu Embassy's back house.

At this time, it is February of the third year of Daqin Chengwu, the ice and snow have begun to melt, although the cold wind that ravages the north has not disappeared, but it is no longer so cold and biting, they all say that they don't know who cuts out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors, but that is the south in the end, here in Datong, the ice and snow have not disappeared in February, and the weather is still extremely cold, not to mention any green leaves, you can find it, and you have the ability.

However, with the occasional southerly wind, the warm and moist atmosphere will gradually take over, and the first spring rain will not be too far away......

In the garden of the back house of the Xuanfu Envoy's Mansion, Zhao Shi stood on the porch of a warm pavilion in the garden, leaning on the railing, staring at the ice and snow on the garden pond that had not completely melted.

After this winter, Buyan Xiban seems to have matured a lot all of a sudden, and the immaturity and youthfulness belonging to the young people have faded a lot, because this cold winter has made him understand many things, and he has long since woken up from the frenzy of returning to the grassland and winning the first tribe.

Looking at the gaze of the burly figure, although strict and submissive, occasionally flashed a few intricate and indistinguishable lights, and he also understood that as the weather warmed up, the day when he would go back to the grassland again would not be too far away, and he almost understood what this uncle meant.

The Tatars, the Tatars in decline, did not yet deserve the right to bargain, and a clear, ruthless and forceful answer completely extinguished many of the illusions he held.

"Have you figured it out?" Zhao Shi's deep voice sounded without any emotion, and he had just sent away the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. Years later, many things on the ground. You have to report to the Xuanfu Embassy, and discuss what you want to do this year with the Xuanfu Envoy.

Taiyuan Mansion is actually the largest mansion in Hedong, but the Xuanfu envoy is stationed in Datong, and the status of Datong Mansion is slightly higher.

In this way, the prefect of Taiyuan Mansion can only pinch his nose and admit it. However, to be honest, the location of Taiyuan Mansion is much more important than that of Datong, which is the political and cultural center of the entire Hedong, and it is also the inevitable place for the Qin army to conquer the north in the future.

Therefore, with the arrival of the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhao Shi must be cautious, and many things have been listened to completely. Most of them are approves, and only some of those who are related to the military affairs of the army will intervene to make their own decisions.

However, from Taiyuan to Datong, after all, the transfer of grain and grass is still quite difficult, which cannot be changed in a period of time, and there are many difficulties in Taiyuan Prefecture. Zhao Shi, who listened to it, was also dizzy.

Therefore, Zhao Shi's set goal in his heart is to take Datong as the center of Hedong, and from here in the future, he will conquer Hebei and go north to the grassland. So for a long time, Datong was the weight of Zhao Shi's mind. All of them will live above Taiyuan.

In fact, this also determines that during his tenure, Datong will inevitably gradually prosper, truly pass through Taiyuan, and become the political center of Hedong.

These days, I have seen a lot of people, and the affairs of government affairs are complicated, far from being comparable to the battle of the army, which makes him feel a little tired, and today he sent away the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, which is even more so, so he went to this garden for a walk.

However, with his current status, it is not easy to be as idle as a few days ago, no, he still found the disgraceful Xiban, because after some time, I am afraid that he will have to send troops to the grassland, this is his established strategy, and he will not change anything, and as a Tatar prince, the disgraceful Xiban is also a bit of a headache, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is destined to be talked about......

After listening to Zhao Shi's question, he lowered his head and said respectfully and firmly: "The Tatars belong to the grassland. ”

One question and one answer, although simple, is so similar to the question and answer when he went north to the grassland that day, but at this time, the mood of Buyan Xiban has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhao Shishi didn't reply, but his tone had softened a lot, "After a while, let's go to the grassland together, I also want to see again, and listen to how the heroes and heroes on the grassland are doing......

He raised his head violently and said in surprise: "Uncle wants to ......"

Zhao Shi muttered softly, "Soldiers must always follow the pace of war...... There are many tribes in the grassland, many people will not want to see the Han people help the Tatars gain a foothold in the grassland, the last time you went north, it was just to take advantage of the surprise, this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, do you think, with 10,000 Qin army elites and the troops who got this time, everything is really worry-free? ”

Buyan Xiban woke up from the shock, frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle still doesn't worry about me?" ”

Zhao Shi turned his head, glanced at him, smiled, and said disapprerovantly: "This time I went to the grassland, there are a lot of things to do, the news of Prince Wang Gubu's return to the grassland is estimated to have spread, this time to the north, it may be a continuous killing, are you really sure, can you take the army, take back the Tatar grassland, and ascend to the throne of the Khan?" ”

Buyan Xiban frowned, his heart was entangled, and finally he asked what he wanted to ask this winter, but he didn't dare to ask, "What does my uncle want to ask Tatars?" ”

Zhao Shi was not surprised, as if he had been waiting for him to ask such a question, smiled, and turned his head, "Hundreds of years have passed, the war in the Central Plains, the Jurchens, and the Khitans have been glorious for a while, and now on the grassland, seeing the Mongols becoming stronger and stronger, and the Tatars...... So what do you think, how will I let the Tatars? ”

The disgrace of Xiban was stagnant and silent.

Zhao Shi continued: "If the Han people do not go to the grassland, according to the current view, the Tatars will only have one fate, either they will be annexed by the Nabarian tribe, or they will submit to the Kereh tribe, and they may hear the name of the Tatars in the future, but they will not appear as the overlords of the grasslands in the clouds and outside the clouds, and even they will no longer have their own grasslands, because all the grasslands belong to their masters and can be deprived of ...... at will."

"To be honest, I don't want to see this situation, we have come to Datong, the Tatars have been annexed, whether it is the Nabarian tribe or the Kereh department, they will greatly increase their strength, for us Han people, sitting back and ignoring it is equivalent to raising tigers."

This is the first time this uncle has explained the whole situation to him in detail, he has been studying in the National Military Supervision for a long time, but he is limited to knowledge, and he knows too little, so he can't clearly grasp these things.

But it's like a layer of window paper, which will break when you poke it, but it makes him feel like his mouth is suddenly open, in fact, it's very simple.

At this time, he was a little excited in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "If the Tatars become strong, will the Han people not want to see it?" ”

Zhao Shi bowed slightly, patted the railing and said: "The Han people have an old saying, how can the side of the couch allow others to snore, just like the previous Jin Kingdom, when it was strong, the Tatars could only be driven by them and become their war swords, once they declined, the Tatars could also be used as their barriers, you say, once the Tatars were too strong, what would happen?" ”

Buyan Xiban thought about it, and was a little gloomy, but still said: "It's like a Mongolian ......."

Zhao Shi approvingly: "Yes, just like the Mongols, they originally accepted the official position of the Jin people, restrained the Tatars for the Jin people, and fought for the Jin country in the steppe, and offered their own spoils of war to win the favor of the Jin people, but now once the Mongols are strong, they will no longer let the Jin people oppress them, and even become a big trouble for the Jin people." ”

Buyan Xiban hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhao Shi's back, and asked, "How about that uncle wanting Tatars?" ”

The same question, but with very different meanings.

Zhao Shi looked back at him, his eyes were deep, "You are young and vigorous, you went to the grassland, and when you came back, you wanted to bargain with me, which made me very disappointed, what do the Tatars want, I know more than you, and you still use you to ask me?" What I want to give, I will naturally give it to you, and if I don't want to give, it is useless if you want it. ”

"An old Tatar man, maybe he was a slave to the Jin...... If you weren't Qin Qihai's nephew, and she was the only relative in the world, what would I do? ”

Thinking of the blood that had been splattered out of the falling human head, his body trembled slightly, he completely understood what Zhao Shi meant, glanced at Zhao Shi with a pale face, and lowered his head again.

"My nephew is all at my uncle's orders."

Zhao Shi waved his hand, "What should be said, it's almost done, go back and prepare to pack, let's go north to the grassland in a few days, don't let me down again...... You should also think about it, the Tatars will fight with me in the future, will they still humiliate them? ”

Buyan Xiban's eyes lit up, and then he bowed silently and turned away......

The heavy footsteps gradually faded away, Zhao Shi rubbed his forehead, looked up at the sky, and said in his heart, although the preparation was hasty, Taiyuan and Datong were not too stable, but time was not waiting, the Kereh tribe on the grassland was already at a disadvantage, once the Kereh tribe was defeated by the Naiman tribe, without the Kereh tribe as a barrier, the Naiman tribe would not think at all about what kind of enemy they would face.

Rather than this, it is better to act at this time, drag the hind legs of the barbarian tribe, he doesn't even mind, and join forces with the Kereh tribe to completely lock the Mongolian tribes in the northeast steppe......

(Monthly pass, monthly pass, it's coming to the end of the month, I don't know if this coming and going will be so intense, Ah Cao is looking forward to it.) ）
