Xu Huai went to the government office early the next morning to handle official duties. When he learned that Shi Xun had returned to Biyang from Jingzhou the night before, he summoned Shi Xun to the government office to ask for his specific opinions on the formation of the business group.

The Dali Kingdom was founded by Duan Siping, the former Tonghai Jiedu envoy. It was founded 20 to 30 years earlier than Dai Viet. Since the founding of the country, it has written to Dai Viet many times to seek peace, but Dai Viet ignored them until Emperor Tianxuan succeeded him.

Only then did he officially accept the tribute from Dali.

In the third year of Tianxuan, the Dali Kingdom sent an envoy to Bianliang for the first and only time to pay tribute.

Shi Xun was working as an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs at that time. He happened to have the opportunity to get acquainted with several Dali officials in the mission, and he knew a little about the country of Dali.

The Duan family is the leader of the Dali State, but the families with surnames such as Dong, Gao, Yang, and Yan are extremely powerful in the country. In particular, the Gao family has monopolized the position of prime minister in Dali for a hundred years. There is a "Governor Gao" in Dali State.

That is to say.

In addition to the serious division of power at the top level in Dali State, local separatist forces are also extremely strong.

All these determine that even if the merchant group successfully obtains the imperial order to go to Dali as an envoy, if it wants to continue westward after entering the territory of Dali State, it is very likely that it will be separated from the local area of ​​Dali State.

There is a conflict of forces.

In addition, the area along the Lu River west of Dali falls within the sphere of influence of the Tubo Duogansi Tribe.

However, even though they all belong to the Tongduo Gansi tribe, the local sects and warlords are still very chaotic and complex. They are not affiliated with any unified force, and they are not cohesive.

However, in addition to the fact that the Tibetan tribes in Beijing and Xiangzhou have not been very friendly to the Central Plains since the previous dynasty, Shi Xun believes that the system also needs to consider that the Chihu people may have sent envoys or troops after conquering Dangxiang and other countries in the Western Regions.

The horse went deep into the highlands of Western Tibet to appease the Tibetan tribes.

Two thousand elite infantry and cavalry were mobilized from Beijing and Xiang to form a merchant group, and it was planned to take four months to reach the bank of the Lushui River. The generals must be extremely exhausted. After joining the Khitan soldiers and horses heading south from Taoyuan, they may not be able to

Calmly dealing with the complicated local Tibetan forces, Shi Xun suggested that Xu Huai grant greater power to the merchant group and allow them to unite with the local forces in the western part of Dali and march to the banks of the Lushui River in the name of conquering Tibet.

When Shi Xun first arrived in Chushan, he was only thirty years old. Even though he had served as an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, in Xu Huai's eyes, he was far from mature in all aspects. Unexpectedly, he had already considered the Chihu people at this time.

It is very likely that he has already begun to appease Tibet.

Except for the Gsisiluo tribe, which once occupied the Hehuang area to establish the Qingtang Kingdom and posed a threat to the Xihe Road in Shaanxi, Dayue, and was well known to the people of Dayue, the other Tubo tribes located deep in the Xibo Highlands have been divided for a long time.

It is outside the sight of the Central Plains; and the countries in the Western Regions have been affiliated with the Party members for a long time, and have had no direct contact with the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

Therefore, since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty, the Central Plains’ understanding of Tubo and the countries in the Western Regions has been extremely limited, and few people will take Tubo and the countries in the Western Regions into consideration when analyzing the overall situation of the world.

The information that the Military Intelligence Department has about Tubo and the countries in the Western Regions mainly comes from the remnants of the Khitan. However, the remnants of the Khitan moved south to Tianshui for a short time, and their understanding of Tubo and the countries in the Western Regions is also quite fragmented. Therefore, the Military Intelligence Department has until now

We have not yet been able to establish a relatively complete understanding of Tubo and other countries in the Western Regions.

However, Xu Huai personally speculated that after the Chihu people conquered the Dangxiang people and the vassal states in the Western Regions, even taking into account the harsh environment of the Western Tibetan highlands and the intricate relationships among the Tubo tribes, they might not be eager to dispatch large-scale troops to sweep across the Western Regions.

However, they should also dispatch a small-scale elite division or send envoys into the Luosuo area, the former capital of Tibet, to contact the Tibetan tribes.

The Tubo tribes have been divided for so many years, but no force has ever unified the Western Tibetan highlands again.

They saw that the Chihu people had risen like the sun in the past few decades, sweeping across the grasslands and deserts. All the countries in the Western Regions and the party members had surrendered to their hooves one after another. They were frightened by the force of the Chihu people and chose to surrender on their own initiative.

It's not something unimaginable.

Xu Huai thought of this, but he was worried that pessimism and depression would breed internally, so he did not take the initiative to mention it; in his exchanges with the remnants of the Khitan, and even in Xiao Linshi's private letters, Xu Huai even avoided mentioning it.

And this.

Now that Shi Xun mentioned this, Xu Huai didn't feel too worried, but felt very relieved:

In addition to Shi Zhen, Su Laochang, Xu Wuqi and others in the production department, more and more people have grown up and are able to stand alone.

"The situation on the banks of the Lu River may be very complicated. When you go deep into the Lu River, of course you must put your own preservation first - even when negotiating with local forces in Dali, you don't need to be too rigid..." Xu Huai agreed with Shi Xun.

The idea, say.

In addition to preparing for the business group to set off from Biyang as soon as possible, the production department must also try to obtain the consent of the court as much as possible - without the imperial edict, the armed business group entered without authorization

Entering Dali is the last and most forced choice.

Han Gui also drafted several memorial manuscripts overnight, and Xu Huai brought Wang Ju, Shi Zhen, Dong Cheng and others over to study them together.

Since Shi Xun had already mentioned the possibility of the Chihu people recruiting the Tubo tribes, Xu Huai finally decided to add relevant content to the memorial, hoping that the court would pay more attention to the significance of the remnants of the Khitan tribes moving southward and should not be ignored.

If the Tubo tribes finally choose to join the Red Husbands, and the Red Husbands send a partial army to the banks of the Lushui River, and the Tubo tribes surrender their troops, the total population will be less than three million, and the country will be divided by local separatist forces.

Dali Kingdom is basically powerless to resist.

& n/Once the Dali country is conquered by the red people, how much does the Da Yue invest on the southwest border to defend?

Or will Dai Viet still have the ability to form a new defense force of more than 100,000 people on the southwestern border by then?

After the memorial was finalized and sealed, Yiqi was sent to Jianye. The preparation of the armed merchant group was also officially handed over to Wang Ju, Shi Xun, Shi Hu and others to take the lead. In addition, the required manpower was

They also immediately sent post horses to various places to transfer them back.

Regardless of whether Jianye authorized it or not, Xu Huai demanded that the armed merchant group set off from Biyang within ten days, first go south by water, and go straight to Jingjiang Mansion on Guangnan West Road - to negotiate with the supervisors of Jingnan, Jingbei and Guangxi Roads.

The envoy will also carry the official letter issued by the production company in the next two days and set off south from Biyang in advance.

In addition to the two thousand elite step riding, the armed business group must also be included in a thousand soldiers. Malav guarantees the logistics -the time is particularly tight.

Later preparations, the scale of the whole southward armed business group is definitely not small, and it can even be said that it is a small -scale march.

This soldier and horse follow the road from Jingbei, Jingnan, and Guangxi. Naturally, you need to say hello in advance.

In the official letter sent to the three places, Xu Huai also explained the significant significance of the situation and responding to the south of the Khitan residue. In the official letter, if the three places were blocked, the armed business group would pursue his order forcibly break through the barrier.

At that time, if there is a conflict between bleeding, Xu Huai will bear all responsibilities.

Xu Huai returned to the back house at noon, accompanied Wang Xuan, Liu Qiong'er two women dining.

Knowing that the chapter had been sent to Jianye, Wang Xuan couldn't help asking: "If your Majesty is determined, the situation may be complicated than expected!"

"Without the promises of the court, the situation faced by the business group south is complicated and more dangerous, but it is also on the string, and I have to post it," Xu Huai said. "As for the system, there is no need to worry too much-

It’s really going to be a deadlock. From now on, I don’t have to worry about and weigh too many things..."

Without the authorization of the court, forcibly entering the Dali State will be a lone army that travels thousands of miles, but this will not be more dangerous than the Khitan pioneer from the southward from the south of Laoguan.

In addition, after the two lone army meets, the core goal is also to be on the banks of Rongshui to open up a foothold for the subsequent soldiers of the Khitan disabled.

Therefore, after the departure of the armed community, even if it became an lone army, there was no way to return to the country of Guangnan Road, it was not an unacceptable result.

As for the relationship between the system and the court, it will become worse, and the separation is more serious, and Xu Huai doesn't care too much.

If Jingxiang is destined to only be alone, he can let go of his hands and feet, and further Jingxiang's further towning ????????????????????????????????

Right now, instead of worrying about the reaction of the court, Xu Huai may not save more time, consider how to further tap the development potential of Nanyang, Xiangyang and other places.

The entire Nanyang Basin, where the Niu Niu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain are surrounded by the Niu Niu Mountain.

In the 6 million acres of Book of Tin Tian, ​​1.5 million acres of Tuantian are not much more than that of Heluo.

In this investigation, in addition to the statistics of the existing arable land in Nanyang Government, the system also found out the land resources that can be reclaimed -in fact, the land resources that can be reclaimed by Nanyang Government still have great potential to be excavated.

The reasons for this fact, Xu Huai also analyzed with Shi Yan and others. This still has to be attributed to the preferential treatment of the scholars and the gentry class since the Da Yue Dynasty and the local government.

On the one hand, the Da Yue does not stand the field system and does not suppress the merger, so that local gentlemen can merge large -scale slums, which leads to a large reduction in local tax sources and insufficient financial resources. As a result, state and counties lack the ability to build water conservancy.

On the one hand, the gentry class invades the lake swing, the river beach is reclaimed. The state and county are afraid to clean up because of the entanglement of interests.

Local gentry encroached and prevented unified planning.

Another key reason is that the court's factionalism is rampant. Local officials are afraid of being accused of wasting people and money, so they prefer to stick to the old ways and dare not make big achievements.

The Tangbai River originates from Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain. During the rainy season, the water flow is extremely strong and it often floods and causes disasters. However, in the more than 150 years since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty, the local government has not conducted a thorough management of the Tangbai River, which is also rare in previous dynasties.

.

Next, whether it is to further reclaim the land resources of Nanyang Prefecture, to improve the irrigation conditions of the existing cultivated land, or to improve the navigation conditions of the Tangbai River and form a river and land transportation system centered on Biyang, it is necessary to carry out the Tang Dynasty

The Baihe River will undergo a thorough management.

Although the project cannot be organized and implemented until after this year's flood season, the topographic survey of the Tangbai River Basin has already been implemented at the beginning of the year.
