Dongshengzhou is located at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain. It reaches the east of Manhan Mountain, the north of Daqing Mountain, and the Yellow River and the Helinger Loess Hills in the south. The entire plain is flat, with suitable climatic conditions, fertile soil and abundant water sources. It can be regarded as the "rice and grain river" of the Liao Dynasty.

Li Yuanhao led his troops to attack this place, not only because he was attracted by the superior geographical environment here, but also because of the nearly 100,000 people here. Population is too important to any country. Xixia does not lack land, but it lacks a population to manage land. If there is no one, no matter how good the land is, it will be a barren land.

The way Xixia obtains population is very violent, and people's reproductiveness cannot keep up, so we will plunder the population. Unlike the Song Dynasty, Xixia does not have a huge population base. As long as they have complete medical care and sufficient food, the population will grow explosively.

Li Yuanhao's troops left the Ulanmulun River with another important purpose, occupying the entire Hetao land. The Hetao region has provided rich cultural and living resources for the land of China since ancient times. The folk proverb also says that "The Yellow River has many harms, only one rich". This kind of Hetao terrain is unique among the world's big rivers.

The surrounding areas of Hetao, including the Huangshui River Basin, Taoshui River Basin, Luoshui River Basin, Weishui River Basin, Fenshui River Basin, Sangqian River Basin, Zhangshui River Basin, and Hutuo River Basin, all have a relatively good natural environment. They surround the Hetao region, just like the stars praising the moon, pushing the Hetao civilization to the highest peak, and at the same time spreading the Hetao civilization to a wider area.

Although this place is the dream place of the Central Plains dynasty, it has more of it bred civilization on the grassland. The place where the front can be owned by the Central Plains dynasty, and only a few dynasties have occupied it.

In fact, to be precise, Hetao is divided into two sets, east and west, the western set is the nearby area mainly composed of Yinchuan, which is now Xingqing Prefecture, and the eastern set is divided into two sets. Dongshengzhou and Yulin attacked by Li Yuanhao are the place where the front set is, because the back set has long been under the control of Xixia.

Standing in front of the huge map, Zhao Zhen had to sigh that this guy had a thick face and a dark heart. The entire Hetao Plain had been occupied by Li Yuanhao. Now he stretched his wolf's claws to the only front condom. If he took it down, the entire Hetao would fall into Xixia's bag.

Zhao Zhen was so angry that his teeth were itchy... The Yellow River had all kinds of harms, only rich! The harm was in the Song Dynasty, and wealth was in the hands of Xixia!

Every year during the rainy season, the river sand washed down from the upper reaches made the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty a ground river! The Song Dynasty spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to control the floods of the Yellow River! The important reason for Zhao Zhen's migration of the capital was also related to the Yellow River. The high Yellow River embankment was like a time bomb that exploded at any time, and it was right next to Tokyo!

Zhao Zhen once saw the towering dam. To be honest, even a brave person like him felt trembling. Even if the court had repeatedly cleared it, there was still a risk of breaking the dam.

Di Qing saw Zhao Zhen's face aside and carefully moved back two steps. He had never seen the official family show such an expression, as if someone had stolen the most important thing and suffered great shame.

But when he saw Zhao Zhen's eyes falling on the Hetao Plain, he felt relieved. Who doesn't know the prosperity of the Hetao Plain? Both the Han and Tang dynasties once took the Hetao Plain, but now he sees the Xixia taking it into his pocket with great fanfare, so the official family is naturally in a bad mood.

"Officials, Li Yuanhao's troops were out of the Ulanmulun River, intending to capture the entire Hetao land. Can't I, the Song Dynasty, just watch it?"

Facing Di Qing's words, Zhao Zhen was a little unwilling to accept it, but he said helplessly: "This is the Liao Dynasty, and it is also a dispute between Liao and Xia. It is not appropriate for me to be involved in the Song Dynasty... I just hope that the Liao Dynasty will not be so unbearable, and that Li Yuanhao will succeed..."

Zhao Zhen had no choice. In fact, he wanted to send troops to fight for the Hetao land, but he had no choice but to have a Liao Dynasty in the middle. The Liao Dynasty put a lot of effort into the defense of the Song Dynasty. The Southwest Road Zhaodaosi was in Fengzhou not far from Datong Prefecture.

Although Datong Prefecture is going westward, Dongshengzhou is still choking because of the Southwest Road Rail, and cannot act rashly. If the troops leave Datong, this fish bone will be inserted straight into Datong Prefecture.

The main forces and elite troops of the Song Dynasty gathered in Peiping Prefecture and Fengshengzhou. In order to maintain the tranquility of the Chahar grassland and reproduce more war horses, Zhao Zhen stationed a large number of troops here.

Today, the Song Dynasty can raise troops, but Zhao Zhen does not want to see redundant soldiers again, because the strength of the country was a deterrent, and the Liao people did not dare to invade the border easily, so Zhao Zhen quietly transferred his troops to the west, mainly at the junction of Song and Xia.

Because the capital was moved to Beiping Prefecture, the center of the Song Dynasty suddenly became three, Beiping Prefecture, Datong Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture, which was far west!

The troops of Jingzhao Prefecture can support Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Jun Road at any time, two places close to Xixia. Zhao Zhen’s defense for Xixia is far better than that of the Liao Dynasty. Who knows what else would Li Yuanhao, a lunatic, do?

Zhao Zhen pointed to the map and asked Di Qing: "Di Qing, what do you think is the purpose of Li Yuanhao's troops taking the front condom?"

Di Qing was immediately stopped by Zhao Zhen. Li Yuanhao was trapped before sending troops because of the land here. Is there anything more important than the best land?

"I report to the official family. I think Li Yuanhao is in order to take the entire Hetao land into his pocket, and he also takes advantage of the civil turmoil in the Liao Dynasty and rest and recuperate to reduce his losses!"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "Yes, your words make sense, but I think Li Yuanhao's move has another purpose, the people! Xixia is not like our Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, and its population is already sparse. It is great if he takes over the front trap. If he can't, he can capture a large number of people to fill his needs in Xixia."

Di Qing suddenly woke up, stared at the map in a daze and said, "The official's words were like enlightenment. If I were Li Yuanhao, I would definitely take down the one I got. After occupying the front condom, I consolidated the city defense while sending the capturing army to capture the local people on a large scale and send them to Xixia first... In this way, even if the Liao people reoccupied the front condom, they would probably migrate the population."

He punched the map heavily, and Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "I only see this shameless Li Yuanhao in my life! This is the place where he treats the front condom as his "fostering people". If the Liao Dynasty doesn't know, he will be killed by Li Yuanhao. I hope Xiao Tali has seen through it and is prepared!"

Di Qing looked at the map with distress. This thing was so precious in the Song Dynasty, only three copies. Cao Wei looked at the one in the Privy Council like a treasure. He could not easily get the center, and the official family in front of him didn't care about it anymore.

No matter what, this is a matter between the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia, and it has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. Even if the Song Dynasty wants to get involved, what Di Qing didn't know is that Zhao Zhen was angry because of this reason.

The Xixia and the Liao Dynasty fought each other, but the Song Dynasty could not take action. Isn’t this an worry? In Zhao Zhen’s opinion, it would be a loss if he didn’t take advantage at this time!
