Youjing just entered night.

The stars are hanging low, and the streets in Youjing City are already forbidden. The patrol cavalry covered with black armor are patrolling the whole city, and the streets are empty.

Only the yard is still lively. In front of the small restaurants in the alley, there are a lot of diners. After returning home, the people are happily eating by the fireside with their family. The yard is brightly lit and the lights are on. From time to time, laughter comes from a distance, with a few words of joy for the harvest of autumn and the increasing prosperity of life.

At this time, the Fangdians had just eaten their meals, and burped, picked up the divine dou, put on the waist knife, and walked along the street, loudly reminding the Fangdians about fire prevention and theft prevention.

The outer palace gate of Linshuo Palace was locked. The palace maids in the corridor took off the lampshade and lit the palace lanterns. From a distance, the blurry halo of the palace lanterns lit up one by one from far to near, dispelling the thick night. The patrol guards stepped over the stone steps, and the armor leaves on their bodies sounded clanging.

The autumn night is getting colder, and in the main hall of Linshuo Palace, there are a stack of unrevised memorials on the table. However, the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, Li Chongjiu, was not next to the table at this moment. Li Chongjiu was wearing a cloak, pressing his long sword in his hand, and staring at the wall with a huge cowhide map hanging on it.

Judging from the map, the territory of the Great Zhao Empire is growing and its territory is gradually expanding.

Yesterday, Guo Xiaoke sent a war report. He led his army to survive the hope and captured Wuhuan Mountain, pushing the northern territory of Zhao State for hundreds of miles into the depths of the grassland. Guo Xiaoke had requested Li Chongjiu to increase the Han army garrison for Songmo Protectorate's Office in order to build a city in Wuhuan Mountain.

Although Li Chongjiu was short of military strength at the moment, he still agreed to Guo Xiaoke and sent two thousand elites from the six counties in the northern border to send them to Bailang City. However, as for the soldiers, Guo Xiaoke had to train himself.

In addition, Guo Xiaoke also recommended Wang Shi as the general of Yingyanglang in the memorial. He said that in the two battles of attacking Wuhuan Mountain, he first guarded the grain team and repelled the Khitan cavalry at night, and then attacked Wuguling, with less attacks. He defeated three thousand Khitan cavalry. Li Chongjiu was stunned when he saw it at first, but he did not expect that Wang Shi, the military camp, would actually support himself. In Songmo, where birds do not shit, he could survive and make a world of self-reliance.

Could it be that talents shine everywhere? I had a deviation from Wang Shi's views before. Perhaps it was the old ministers who said that the younger generation always wanted him to go out for a while and not to fight. How could he know whether he would be a dragon or a phoenix in the future? However, Li Chongjiu was still very happy that Wang Shi had such excellent performance. Not only did he approve Guo Xiaoke's request, but he also gave Wang Shishiquan and granted him the position of deputy general of Bailang City.

The king was true to the king, but Guo Xiaoke defeated the Khitans in Wuhuan Mountain, which made Li Chongjiu's situation in the northern border. The most important thing was to cut off the direct contact between the Turks and Goguryeo people. It was also a powerful blow to the forces attached to the Goguryeo people in the Khitan.

Hundreds of thousands of Khitan tribes left the familiar grasslands of Wuhuan Mountain and moved northward. Li Chongjiu looked along the map and then moved northward to the present Daxingan Mountains. This vast mountain is still primitive jungle to this day. If the Khitans were to be moved north to winter, life would inevitably be even more difficult.

If this is true, hundreds of thousands of Khitans lacking cattle, sheep, animals and horses will be reduced by at least one third in the cold Daxinganling Mountains.

However, Li Chongjiu was not prepared to kill all the Khitans, but decided to take this opportunity to vigorously recruit Khitans and allow them to move back to the Huoershen grassland. Of course, the condition was that they had to obey the jurisdiction of the Great Zhao. Not only should the ministry obey the conscription of the Songmo Protectorate of the Great Zhao at any time, but also pay a certain amount of tax every year. The son of the leader went to the Imperial College of Youjing as a proton to study.

As long as there are more than 100,000 Khitans who join Zhao State, the remaining Khitans will be very small towards the Huoershen grassland. This will also cut off Goguryeo. At that moment, Li Chongjiu drew a big red circle on Wuhuan Mountain on the cowhide map, indicating that the place has been included in the territory of Da Zhao.

Then Li Chongjiu looked at the Turks on the west side of the Huoershen grassland and Goguryeo on the east side.

The situation in Goguryeo has been stable recently. The Thousand Mile Great Wall to the south has been completed. This is a Great Wall connecting more than a dozen important towns. Of course, it was a work by the Goguryeo people who imitated the Qin and Han Great Walls. It was just that their identity was changed, and Goguryeo regarded Da Zhao as a defense of nomadic peoples.

Zhou Zhou, the new Liaodong County Magistrate, once submitted a letter to Li Chongjiu, saying that he would use the army to break the Great Wall, and at least 200,000 troops would be mobilized. You should know that Goguryeo is a good defender. During the second expedition to Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Liaodong City for 300,000 troops for three months.

Zhou Zhou instead submitted a memorial to Li Chongjiu on the sea to capture Goguryeo. In the memorial, Zhou Zhou listed the incident of Emperor Wu of Han pacifying Weiman Korea when he ordered General Yang Pu to lead 50,000 troops across the Bohai Sea and to capture the royal city of Weiman Korea. Later, the Han Dynasty set up four Han counties in Korea.

Zhou Zhou quoted this matter, saying that Dazhao must imitate the Han Dynasty's incident of Pingwei and permeating Korea, and should not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Liaodong. Zhou Zhou suggested that it was to consider the long-term, advance troops from the sea, bypass the strong defense line of Goguryeo, build the Thousand Mile Great Wall, and vigorously operate the two major strongholds of Duli Town and Dengzhou, and prepare for crossing the sea to attack Goguryeo in the future.

Zhou Zhou also said that hegemony at sea and attacking Goguryeo is just one. More importantly, he will face the provocations of Silla, Baekje, and even further east of the Japanese country at sea. In order to prevent it, Zhou Zhou suggested expanding Duli Town and two naval camps in Dengzhou, building sea ships, and training naval forces, so as to compete for the best in the sea in the future!

Let the Great Zhao Navy not only traverse the Yangtze River and Huai River, but also dominate the sea.

After reading the memorial of Zhou Zhou, Li Chongjiu did not agree with each other, but he did not agree with each other. The reason was very simple. Li Chongjiu approved Zhou Zhou but had no money. It was okay to raise the navy, but Zhou Zhou wanted to find a way by himself. There was no way. Li Chongjiu had just ended the war in Wuhuan Mountain, and the army of Xu Shiji and Song Jingang in Shandong had also started fighting. The Yongji Canal was unblocked. Li Chongjiu had no money to manage the expansion of the navy.

Of course, Li Chongjiu also delegated power to Zhou Zhou, allowing him to find a way by himself, even if he uses some extraordinary means. Even if he steals and robs.

Li Chongjiu just said this casually, but Zhou Zhou immediately replied to the memorial, saying that he would organize a navy army to invade the coastal areas of Goguryeo and plunder the people. He consumed the money he earned himself, and even called it a battle to support the war. Li Chongjiu thought about it and thought that Zhou Zhou was not simple. Wasn't this what he did when he plundered Goguryeo?

However, Li Chongjiu was just a thief at the beginning, and Zhou Zhou's ambition was to be a pirate.
