Du Zhongxiao saw the description of the Tatars handed over by Zhuang Langbabao, and put it aside. He pondered for a while, took a pen and asked Yang Wenguang's troops to move westward to Fengzhou. At the same time, he sent someone to check the route and prepare for the warmer weather to order people to go from Xiudu to Fengzhou.

The Tatars were sparsely populated. No matter what the purpose of coming from south was, there were only two or three thousand people on the front line from Fengzhou to Shazhou. Once they crossed Yinshan on a large scale, they were caught by the Song army and they would not have time to run away. Du Zhongxiao estimated that the biggest purpose of the Tatars coming from south was to observe the Song army. Now that the two Khitan emperors have started a war, the Song army will have a great impact on them.

The Khitan wanted to attack the Song army, one route was Zhenwu County and the other route was Shazhou. The Song army was strict in the two places. Once there was a large army, they immediately reported that the Khitan did not have a chance to attack suddenly.

Standing up, Du Zhongxiao walked back and forth in the house several times, and when he arrived at the door, he looked at the mountains in the north. Once he passed Yinshan, the climate suddenly became cold and the precipitation decreased. It was a natural nomadic area. The Hequ Road area is a farmable and pastoral land, which is not the same as those places. The population of this year is not comparable to that of descendants. To the north of Yinshan, there are often only one or two thousand people within a thousand miles. With such a small population, it is almost useless to dispatch large troops.

To solve the Tatars north of Yinshan, the local area should be developed for twenty or thirty years on Hequ Road. Before that, we can only try to prevent the Tatars from going south. Once we go south, we will give a more important blow.

After sighing, Du Zhongxiao returned to the case, he flipped over the official documents on the table. He came to Hequ Road, and it was about to be a year old, and suddenly missed home.

Fu Bi walked in quickly and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jingshou, the official documents from Zhao Zi, Yizhou is going to send envoys to the capital!"

"Oh——" Du Zhongxiao stood up, took the official document handed over by Fu Bi, and looked carefully. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are only two or three thousand households in Yizhou. In addition to the city, there are also two counties of Nazhi and Yidu. In fact, they are all one place, but they are just three cities. Our army has occupied Juyan, and it is unlikely that they will mix merchants among the envoys. This matter——”

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao stood up, walked a few times, and said, "You can ask Zhao Zi to prepare for the envoys in Yizhou and enter Beijing in the spring of the following year!"

Fu Bi nodded and said, "There is no reply in Xizhou, so what should we do?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Let them go. As long as you enter Yizhou and build the railway there, other forces in the Western Regions will be no problem!"

Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "Jie Shuai, in addition to Yizhou, there are many forces in the Western Regions such as the Black Khanate, the Deer-cutting, and the Jockey King. If we only accept Yizhou, other forces might think what they would think."

Du Zhongxiao said, "Let them think about it. If we don't enter the Western Regions, we don't know what the situation is there. After guessing, we can guess what things can we do? I heard that there are thousands of miles there, and only a few forces have cities and very few people. Some people also say that the cities are vast and have a large population, and they are extremely prosperous. If we don't look at it, we will know which one is true? We ordered Zhao Zi to accept all those who think of tribute to the Central Plains."

Fu Bi nodded and said yes. When he arrived in Shengzhou, he was determined to do a big thing and live up to his duty. Now it seems that in the Khitan civil war, Dangxiang guarded the city gates tightly, and the places he opened could only be in the Western Regions. From Shengzhou to Hezhou, Hezhou and Juyan County, there was a large area. Although the railway was connected, it was extremely inconvenient for the train to run. Because the population on this line was too small, most of the transport was military supplies, so it was impossible to miss the problem, but it was just a waste.

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "I instruct Zhao Zi to send someone to find out the way to Yizhou. As soon as the railway arrived in Juyan County, it would go to Yizhou without stopping. No matter what the people in Yizhou think, the railway must be built!"

Fu Bi said that, and after discussing some other matters, he hurriedly left.

Du Zhongxiao arrived at the door and looked at the mountains in the north. His idea slowly settled down. Until now, the Khitan and Dangxiang had no excuses for a while. If they wanted to expand externally, they could only be in the Western Regions thousands of miles away. With the railway, unlike before, as long as the railway could be built along the road, they could be built all the way. They would be built all the way to the river and even to Europe.

At this time, the Eastern Roman Empire in Europe was still there and occupied Constantinople. If we could connect with Constantinople and avoid the Persian monopoly trade route in the middle, everything would be worth it. A railway, bypassing the major forces in the middle, is too far apart.

Zhao Zi sat behind the desk, eating pears while looking at the official documents in his hand. Apart from this city, Juyan, there are only a few villages distributed around Juyan Sea. Zhao Zi brought more than 10,000 people to live here, except for occasionally hunting outside, he just reads the official documents after the desk.

A soldier came in and handed Zhao Zi a document and said, "General, Ji Zheng's letter."

Zhao Zi put down the pear in his hand, took the official document and opened it. Seeing that he was trying to keep Juyancheng and spy on Yizhou, he couldn't help but say, "Ji Shuai said it easy. Shouyan, spy on Yizhou, and spy on Yizhou, and to the Western Regions. The nearest city in this ghost place is also two thousand miles away. How can you strictly abide by the law? Alas, I hope that the railway will be built here soon next year, and many things will be much easier."

He threw the official document aside, thought it was wrong, picked it up again, and said to the guard on the side: "Put it, put it away!"

After saying that, he picked up the pear and bit it bite it, thinking about his thoughts.

Juyan is a river that forms a lake here, surrounded by deserts and no one else. Two thousand miles south is Ganzhou and Suzhou, two thousand miles west is Yizhou, and two thousand miles east is Hezhou. As for whether it is one thousand miles north or two thousand miles north, Zhao Zi has never heard of it. Such a bitter and cold place is not geographically important, so who is willing to stay here?

After eating the pears, Zhao Zi got up and came out of his handsome tent. The scenery outside was beautiful, with beautiful trees on both sides of the road, and white clouds in the sky were like clusters, making people feel refreshed. But as long as you leave the city and walk a short distance, you will see yellow sand.

After seeing the scenery, Zhao Zi sighed and returned to his desk and sat down to think about his concern. It has not snowed yet, and the road to Hezhou is still smooth, but now the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and those with insufficient experience are prone to freezing to death on the road. The supplies needed have been prepared, and now it is a few days for the people to arrive in Hezhou. In addition to sending messages, they also transported some scarce goods.

He picked up the official document and looked at it. Zhao Zi threw it on the desk, feeling uncomfortable. After thinking about it, there was nothing wrong. Zhao Zi said: "Call a few people who are good at riding horses and hunting, and follow me out of the city to hunt! I will be unable to even hunt in a few days!"

Several soldiers said that they were, quickly walked out of the hall, and called on people who followed Zhao Zi out to hunt.

When the Dangxiang people left, they took away all the people who reclaimed land in this area, leaving only an empty city. When Zhao Zi came, they were all his own soldiers and even no one from the local people. After living here for a few months, they felt empty and lonely.

At this moment, a soldier quickly came over and saluted Zhao Zi and said, "General, the envoy has come from Yizhou and is asking for a visit outside!"

Zhao Zi was a little impatient and said, "What kind of bird envoy, come to us at this time!"

I wanted the envoy to stay first and return from hunting and then talk to him. I thought it was not right, so I had to put my bow and horse back to the coach's tent quickly.
