Zhao Zhen's words were stunned. Everyone present knew that the official's plan was as far-sighted as a mountain, but who could have thought that Jiao Siluo actually guessed the official's idea? This was simply the most incredible thing.

Su Xun spoke in surprise: "Is it the official family that Jiao Siluo is a timid battle, and he is cautious and moves Qingtang tribe into the inner world?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "I thought so at first, but judging from the various arrangements of Qingtang's evacuation, he was just worried that I would personally conquer Qingtang. This person has great wisdom and is best at scrutinizing people's hearts.

When Li Yuanhao led his army to attack Hehuang, Jiaosiluo calculated that Li Yuanhao would definitely attack Qingtang and prepare early. This person was not only mature in politics, but also accumulated rich experience in his long-term military career. He knew that the Western Xia army was brave and good at fighting. As soon as he arrived in Hehuang, the soldiers were prosperous and the number was huge.

Therefore, he ordered to defend Qingtang and not fight with the enemy, so as to drag down the Xixia army. The ability to discover the weaknesses of the Xixia people on the battlefield is enough to illustrate his vision.

In addition, he sent people to inquire about the reality of the Xixia army. When the Xixia army crossed the Zongge River, he planted a flag to indicate that the water was shallow. He secretly sent someone to move the flag to the deepest part of the Zongge River. When the two armies fought, Ye Silu personally led the elite Tubo army to rush towards the exhausted Xixia army.

When the Xixia army fled, they used the place where the flag was planted as a sign to cross the river. The water was deep and the rapid flow, and the panic Xixia army drowned for 80 to 10 years. They made good use of the right time and place and strange strategies. How could such people be willing to share with each other?

The Battle of Zonggehe defeated the invincible Xixia army. Later, he defeated Yuanhao by several strange plans, so that Li Yuanhao, the extremely arrogant Xixia emperor, would never dare to invade the territory of Yusiluo. At that time, our Song army had not yet fully attacked Xixia!"

Zhao Zhen said this undoubtedly reminding everyone not to underestimate Jiao Siluo. During this period, the atmosphere in the Song Dynasty was very abnormal. The soldiers of the border army began to stand still because Fan Dayong and Zhong Yan's failure was too scared of Jiao Siluo, while the Song Dynasty was nakedly despised the Qingtang troops and all the Tubo people.

Such a trend would be harmful to the Song Dynasty but not beneficial, so Zhao Zhen should stop it in time.

Su Xun slowly spoke: "Officials, I heard that most of the 35,000 people in the Sulu's army were killed and injured in the Zonggehe Battle. Most of the 35,000 people in the army were killed and injured. Jiao Siluo was also talked about by our Song Dynasty officials in the court since then. No matter what the reason is, he has become the enemy of our Song Dynasty, so you must be careful."

Zhao Zhen looked at Wu Cheng and said, "Have the army heading to Qingtang on Ningxia Road already accepted Qingtang defense?"

Wu Zhen carved his fists and said, "Report to the official family, the mighty army on Ningxia Road has arrived in Xige City, and at the same time, a Gongcheng is divided into one of our troops. At this point, our Song Dynasty occupied the entire Hehuang land!"

This is the best result, and within Zhao Zhen's expectations: "I ordered people to send a command of the mighty army to continue to advance, stationed along the Yellow River and near Tsowenbu. Since I have taken it, I will bite it tightly in my mouth. I want him to regret quitting the land of Hehuang!"

The Yellow River is a natural barrier, and in Tubo, it is a blue sea. This huge lake is of great significance to the Song Dynasty. It not only provides irrigation but also provides a large amount of fishery resources for the Hehuang land, reducing the land's dependence on the food in the Central Plains.

The price of green salt in Hehuang is dozens of times that of ordinary fine salt in the Song Dynasty, and the medicinal value is extremely high. The wealthy family even brushes their teeth with green salt, which requires thousands of huge amounts of money. These are the benefits of the Hehuang land in Hehuang after the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty never simply acquired land. It was important to use the value of land to the extreme to truly own this land.

Qingtang was already widely present. It was not until the medical treatment of the Song Dynasty was introduced to Qingtang in recent years that the fertility and survival rates of the Qingtang people continued to increase. However, they were finally seen by Jiao Siluo and were taken away during the migration, leaving no one for the Song Dynasty.

Until now, Zhao Zhen didn't know how Jiao Siluo did it. After all, it was almost impossible to gather everyone on the vast grassland.

There are many cities in Qingtang. These cities left to the Song army are simply a gift. Even if they have been burned and turned into ruins, these problems are not a big deal for the Song Dynasty.

The land of Hehuang produces horses, countless cattle and sheep in the pastures, and produces green salt and various herbs. These things are needed in the Central Plains, so merchants will naturally flock to them.

Rebuilding the city in Hehuang was a good thing for the Song Dynasty. The original city had no value in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. Instead, the choice of the city site and nearby transportation and water conservancy saved a lot of time for the Song Dynasty.

When the imperial court migrates and immigrates come, merchants take root again, and the construction of cities will develop rapidly like mushrooms after a rain. The best thing in the Song Dynasty is urbanization construction.

The development of the commodity economy, the prosperity of commerce, the emergence of basic industries, the convenience of transportation, and various factors led to the urbanization process of the Song Dynasty.

The freedom of migration in the Song Dynasty not only created space for urban development, but also promoted economic prosperity. With the convection of urban and rural populations, the utilization efficiency of production factors was much better, which stimulated a lot of technological progress.

The development of cities and the improvement of urbanization level are a concentrated reflection of the advanced civilization. Without a considerable degree of economic and cultural development, it is impossible to support large-scale cities. Food, transportation, security, management, transportation, etc. are all a series of complex problems.

The population of the Shendu City of the Song Dynasty has reached two million. This is the first time that such a large-scale and population has appeared on the earth. The Shendu City is now twice as large as Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, five times that of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, fourteen times that of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, six times that of the most glorious Baghdad City, and twelve times that of the Roman City.

The capital of a country can see the urbanization process of this dynasty and the power of this civilization.

The Song Dynasty had very rich construction experience. Even the Jiangzhuan Capital specially opened a subject related to construction studies in order to study more efficient, reasonable and complete urban defense city construction.

It is said that the history of a city is the history of a nation, and this is best reflected in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen believed that as long as a large number of Song people arrived in Hehuang, this place would be filled with a different vitality and of course it would continue to reduce part of the burden on the court.

A large amount of land and cities meant that the Song Dynasty needed more officials to settle down. Managing a place was an art of management, and officials of the Song Dynasty had already poured too much experience into it.

Local competent officials will be dispatched to these newly entrustted lands, and young officials will enter the places where they have been trained to learn management knowledge at the grassroots level.

This situation has almost never changed in China for thousands of years. All senior officials must start with local experience. Qingtang is a fertile land, but it is not suitable for practicing for new officials.
