No Zang family came to the palace twice to see Guo Shao, very anxious, because Brother Xi was detained inside. Guo Shao did not meet.

At this time, Cao Yuanzhong and his son were rushing to Lingzhou.

Cao Yuanzhong heard the news that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty visited the west, and he personally brought people and horses to visit him, and the tribute was very rich, he brought two thousand good horses in Hexi! This makes Guo Shao extremely happy.

Of course, Guo Shao must have prepared two thousand horses worth of goods and rewarded Cao Yuanzhong. This is a reciprocal reciprocity... The tribute to the Jiezhen or Gentiles far away from the Central Plains is different from the tribute in the area directly ruled by the dynasty, similar to Disguised business exchanges; if the emperor does not return gifts, others will have no incentive to pay tribute.

Wei Renpu was also very satisfied with Cao Yuanzhong and said in front of Guo Shao: "Hexi is no longer what it was during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now the various ministries are looking around and threaten Hexi Han'er. Cao Yuanzhong and others are not willing to give up. With a plentiful piece of land, they still hope that the imperial dynasty will be strong and pay attention to the northwest, so that they will have a barrier, and the hearts of the rebel army will still be in the Central Plains."

Guo Shao agrees.

When Cao Yuanzhong arrived in Lingzhou, Guo Shao gave a standard courtesy and took the Luan drive out of the city to meet him!

As soon as I came out of town, I heard a cry outside! It was the cry of a man. Even Guo Shao was taken aback for a moment, and saw a middle-aged man with a round face and a young general with a similar face kneeling to the ground, crying.

The soldiers wearing red clothes in the back also got off their horses and knelt to the ground.

Lu Duoxun whispered beside the car: "Your Majesty, the man on the ground is Cao Yuanzhong. We met him when he was in Guazhou."

Cao Yuanzhong said loudly: "The minister has finally seen your Majesty!"

Guo Shao didn't know him at all, but seeing him so excited, his heart was a little moved, after all, his family was more solid.

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Hexi has been blocked by roads for a hundred years. The ministers led the people of Hexi to defend their homeland. After sinking several times, they only waited for one day to return to the reign. Today, he can see the imperial driver with his own eyes, and the minister will die. ……"

Guo Shao was very moved after hearing this, and walked straight out of the car to help Cao Yuanzhong personally. Wei Renpu said from the side: "Back then, when the Han Dynasty opened up frontiers and opened up land, Hexi was obtained from the hands of the Huns. How many Erlangs left their homes and went to the west to defend this place. Cao Jieshuai guarded this place for the country, and the court did not forget the Cao family and the returnees. Work also."

Guo Shao said: "What Deputy Envoy Wei said is my mind. Get up quickly."

Cao Yuanzhong bowed in tears: "The minister thank you."

Cao Yuanzhong introduced his son Cao Yangong to Guo Shao again, saying that he wanted him to be a guard in front of the emperor... He would take the initiative to show his loyalty and let his son enter the court as a pledge.

Guo Shao invited Cao Yuanzhong to ride with him and asked Cao Yangong to ride a sword on the side of the imperial driver, thinking of trust.

The group returned to the palace. Guo Shao and Cao Yuanzhong talked about Hexi. They talked very well, and they had a feeling of seeing each other late. In the evening, the two were still talking in the candlelight night, and the king and the ministers met with enthusiasm.

Hexi Han'er feels very insecure at this time, and the territory that can be controlled has been eroded to the second state of Guasha. The regime of the Guiyi Army has been embarrassed on all sides, and the support of Buddhist forces is not allowed internally.

After Cao Yuanzhong came to power, he was forced to change his tough expansion strategy (because his opponents are all around and consume too much money), send money to women, and marry and form alliances, which temporarily stabilized.

The monarch and the minister first reviewed how prosperous Hexi was during the Han and Tang Dynasties. They sighed that it was not easy for the ancestors to open up the frontiers to open up the land and countless people died. They can all talk about it together and feel the same, so they are very close... …The ancients relied on farming, and land was the basic source of production; as long as the land could be cultivated, everyone wanted it. Opening up territory is the greatest credit, and losing land is the greatest sinner.

Cao Yuanzhong heard that Guo Shaoxiang received a supply of war horses from the west, and immediately said: "As long as the roads between the Hexi Corridor and Guanzhong are opened and the commercial roads are profitable, how many war horses are needed in the Western Regions? !"

Cao Yuanzhong urged: "Your Majesty transferred troops, and the returnees and your Majesty’s things were attacked, and the Uighurs and Tubo Dangxiang people on the east side of Guasha were driven away, and the business route would be smooth!"

Guo Shao finally understood the position of this military commander. Cao Yuanzhong formed alliances everywhere and was really helpless; in fact, he wanted to expel the Hexi tribes long ago... The reason is simple. The tribes took up their original territory. Most of them, and threatened their survival for a long time; if the imperial court provided money to send troops to help him recover the entire Hexi, they would of course be happy.

If the court wanted to conquer the Hexi, the Guiyi army fought in the west, it would actually be beneficial to both sides.

I have to say that Guo Shao's heart has been affected many times, and he was also rushed by Cao Yuanzhong! Guo Shao stood up and stood in front of the map for a while, calmly, and looked at Youzhou, Hebei.

If you have the strength, of course you want it everywhere. The problem is that Hexi is too far away, and it requires money and soldiers...Guo Shao asked casually, "Cao Jieshuai thought, how many people does the court need to regain Hexi?"

Cao Yuanzhong muttered: "Considering that Xiazhou Dangxiang might rebel with the Liao State Alliance... Your Majesty only needs an army of 500,000 to occupy the territory east of the Western Regions!"

I_Cao! Guo Shao suddenly cursed in his heart, Cao Jieshuai's tone was still very big, 500,000... still only needed.

If I can have half a million troops and still have money and food to mobilize the expedition, I will go directly to the Liao State. What about the Northwest?

Guo Shao glanced at him and felt that Cao Yuanzhong's ambitions were still great. He had been beaten to the extent that only two states were left to form an alliance, but he was worried about the imperial court to annex the entire northwestern territory.

But Guo Shao didn’t want to hit his confidence, and said: “After years of hard work in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country is now prosperous, armed with powerful forces, and controlled by a million. It’s just that so many people are mobilized to fight, and you have to negotiate more with courtiers.” /

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Your Majesty said it is extremely true."

Guo Shao said again: "Besides... I think that since the Liao State is going to interfere in the Northwest, it is better to defeat the Liao State first, but things are much simpler."

After hearing this, Cao Yuanzhong clasped his fists enthusiastically and said: "Your Majesty is in the midst of the sky. With such a big mind, the minister is willing to help your Majesty!"

Guo Shao said with relief: "At this time, it is not advisable to move troops without permission. Cao Jieshuai is careful to guard the land of Guasha. Let's think of other ways to stabilize the situation, and we will talk about it later... If something happens to the rebels, People can be sent to the court, and we will send people to mediate between the various races in order to coexist in harmony."

Cao Yuanzhong clasped his fist and said: "The minister will do his duty according to your majesty's will."

Guo Shao stood in front of the map for a long time, and didn't think it was a wise move to change the established strategy. In the northwest at this time, it is difficult to threaten a large-scale eastward invasion; while Youzhou is much more concerned from its strategic position and the world's attention. Guo Shaoruo can get more from Youzhou!

The expansion of the war horse is for a decisive battle with the Liao Kingdom; instead of turning the cart before the horse and moving the main front west.
