Hearing these four words, Gu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Heshuo Plain is the most fertile land in the northwest of Da Chu. It is also the homeland that countless soldiers took back with their blood a hundred years ago.
It is not only rich in war horses, but also a natural granary in the northwest of Dachu. Its strategic location is extremely important.
Gu Huai narrowed his eyes.
There are strong enemies in the northwest and serious troubles in the north.
This situation is exactly the same as the Song Dynasty in previous history!It was even a bit more difficult than the Song Dynasty back then.
Gu Huai quickly calculated the geopolitics surrounding Dachu in his mind.
In addition to the Prairie Royal Court and Dangxiang Kingdom in the north, the Dali Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom are still holding back in the south.
Da Chu's treasury is now empty, and military pay has been tight for years. It is impossible to transfer all the troops to the north.
Without absolute strength, Da Chu now does not have the conditions for a decisive battle with the Prairie Royal Court and Dangxiang State.
The senior officials of Dangxiang State are not fools either. They have obviously seen through Da Chu's lies long ago.
Therefore, this time when the Dangxiang delegation comes, they will definitely not give up.
"Second brother, go find a detailed map of the northwest."
"Since it involves military issues, we must have an understanding of the situation in the northwest before we can make a judgment."
Zhao Zhiwu was stunned for a moment.
"Map?"
"That thing is an essential part of military aircraft. How can ordinary people see it?"
Gu Huai glanced sideways at him.
"Is it difficult for you, a dignified scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to find a rubbing of the geographical map of the northwest in the Hanlin Academy?"
Zhao Zhiwu slapped his thigh.
"Yes!"
"The library of the Hanlin Academy is filled with geographical maps of all dynasties!"
"Just wait, I'll get it for you right now!"
After Zhao Zhiwu finished speaking, he turned around and rushed out of the study.
Soon, Zhao Zhiwu ran in panting, holding a roll of yellowed sheepskin maps.
"Got it!"
"I dug it out from the box at the bottom of the library. It's absolutely detailed!"
General Zhao Zhi spread the sheepskin map roughly on the table, causing a fine dust to appear.
Gu Huai stepped forward and looked carefully at the border defense map of the northwest of Da Chu.
His fingers moved slowly along the border line of Dachu, and finally stopped at an area marked by cinnabar.
That is Heshuo Plain.
Gu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the strategic idea in his mind gradually took shape.
"Second brother, look here."
Gu Huai stretched out his index finger and drew a circle in the Heshuo Plain area.
Zhao Zhiwu quickly came over, his eyes widened.
"How to say?"
Gu Huai retracted his fingers and looked at him leisurely.
"If you ask me, if Dang Xiang wants this Heshuo Plain, then give it back to them!"
"Not only must you give, but you must give happily."
When Zhao Zhiwu heard this word, he almost jumped out of his chair.
"Give?"
"Brother-in-law, are you crazy?"
"That's Heshuo Plain!"
