Chapter 1320

"My lord, opening up Bingzhou can connect with the Southern Xiongnu and provide you with troops from the Southern Xiongnu. Although Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, it is the place where you started your career, my lord. If you occupy Bingzhou, you will have the hearts of the people!"

"And Hanzhong is vast and populous. Hanzhong connects to the land of Bashu, and the land of Bashu is the land of abundance. It also connects to Jingzhou, laying the foundation for your future journey to Jingzhou, my lord."

"Obtaining these two places, after two or three years of digestion, management, and governance, can stabilize your rear, my lord."

"At the same time, Liangzhou will also be more solid after recuperation. With the vastness of the Western Regions, your foundation will be established, my lord."

"Good."

Duan Yu agreed with Li Ru's opinion: "What Mr. Wenyou said is exactly what I was thinking, my lord."

Duan Yu continued to think and said: "Now that we are about to enter the autumn harvest, my plan is for the Liangzhou troops to rest first after returning to Liangzhou."

"Previously, Xun You, Jia Xu, and others had already given me their opinions. The Liangzhou troops have been fighting for more than half a year, and after a long journey back, their morale is no longer usable. After this autumn harvest, we will soon enter winter, so there is no possibility of advancing troops this year."

"Therefore..." Li Ru continued: "You can start mobilizing corvée labor to repair Chang'an after the autumn harvest, and you must stabilize the political power of Chang'an, my lord."

"Imperial Prince Bian is coming to Chang'an from Jixian, and your future foundation is also in Chang'an. Jixian is no longer suitable for you to be based there, my lord."

Repairing Chang'an is imperative.

And moving the Marquis's mansion from Jixian to Chang'an is also imperative.

Regardless of whether you occupy Luoyang in the future, Chang'an must definitely serve as the core of political power.

There is a question of belonging here.

If he always focuses on Liangzhou, the aristocratic families in the Sili Colonel's Department will not have a sense of belonging.

Wherever the core of political power is located, the aristocratic families in this area will take this as the core.

Waiting for Liu Bian to enter Chang'an and establish the political power of the Western Capital is one of the most important things to do next.

Of course.

After this, there is another relatively important thing, and that is to have a fight.

Although Liangzhou does not have the ability to advance into Luoyang now.

However, there must still be a fight outside Hangu Pass.

The aristocratic families in Zuofengyi, Youfufeng, and Jingzhaoyin are all still in the stage of watching.

To bring this group of people into your command, you must fight a battle.

The night is quiet.

In the Jiaofang Hall of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City.

He Lingsi, who had bathed, changed clothes, combed her hair, and put on a red phoenix robe again, was radiant.

Not far away, two palace maids were coaxing Duan Tian, who was lying in a small bed, to sleep.

Of course, after moving into this Jiaofang Hall, the name Duan Tian could no longer be used; he should be called Liu Tian.

He Lingsi, sitting in front of the bronze mirror dressing table, gently fiddled with the phoenix crown on her head with her hands.

Standing behind her was He Lingman, wearing a black robe with a white gauze coat over it.

"Sister's life is really good."

He Lingman said while helping He Lingsi tidy her hair: "Sister lived in the Jiade Hall and Changqiu Palace in Luoyang, and now that you have arrived in Chang'an, you are living in the Jiaofang Hall again."

"The Marquis of Ji's love for sister is really meticulous, which makes me very envious."

He Lingsi looked at He Lingman in the bronze mirror, covered her red lips and laughed softly: "Why is sister so sour? In the future, if you give birth to a son or daughter for Duan Yu, it is not impossible to move into Duan Yu's back mansion?"

He Lingman shook her head gently.

Where is it that easy?

Her identity destined her to never be able to enter the elegant hall in this life.

At best, she is just a mistress and plaything of Duan Yu.

"Sister... there is something I don't know if I should say or not," He Lingman said slowly: "Although sister looks glorious now, you must also make long-term plans for the future."

He Lingsi's hand fiddling with the phoenix crown suddenly stopped, and she turned to look at He Lingman and asked: "What does sister mean by this?"
