Considering that he fought most of his mortal life against the Nords and they probably claimed a good deal of now-Eastern Skyrim as spoils of war, it's probable he's referring to that territory. He did fight to claim the territory in the first place. You'd be pissed to see it taken away too, partly invalidating what you fought for.
Which parts? For a liberal interpretation of historical territory, Riften area definitely, probably extending to about where Whiterun is now, and extending north until Windhelm, as that has historically been the throne of Ysgramor and they would not have made as big a deal if the Chimer at one point occupied the city for some period of time.
