Firecrackers rang continuously, colorful flags fluttered, Qizhou Licheng was full of lights, and there was laughter.

On June 18, Li Jing led the Zhenguo army to advance eastward along Jishui and approached Qizhou. At the same time, the Pinglu army on the border of Qizi in the east was also gearing up, making a posture of marching west to attack Qizhou. In the face of the attack of the official army from the east and west, Huang Chao said that Wang Jingwu was moved, gave up Qizhou, which had been in operation for a long time, and the whole army retreated to the south.

On June 22, Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi joined forces with 50,000 soldiers, 150,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 200,000 young men and women, looted the entire ten counties of Qizhou, and retreated southward.

On June 25, Li Jing led the Zhenguo army to enter Qizhou along Jishui, recovered Shanshi City on the same day, and on the 26th, the Zhenguo army entered Licheng. On the same day, Li Jing dispatched the Zhenguo Army to quickly stationed in the actual cities of Qizhou. As soon as Qizhou was recovered, Li Jing ordered all armies and battalions of the Zhenguo Army to carry out a new round of sweeps of the entire Licheng. This time, Li Jing did not collect the population of Qizhou. After Qizhou was taken away by Wang Jingwu with a large number of people. Not one in ten people remains.

However, with the news of Li Jing's recovery of Qizhou, it came out. As early as the time of Wang Jingwugang's rebellion. A large number of Qizhou families and local landlords and merchants who had fled to other places had already seen the situation, and they all returned to Qizhou as soon as possible.

Li Jing protected the property of these people and did not collect it. Moreover, with the rapid sweep of the Zhenguo army, the remnants of the bandit rebels in various places were strong and maintained local order, and there was not much turmoil in Qizhou, on the contrary, Qizhou was quickly recovering its vitality.

The nobles, nobles, local tyrants, and wealthy businessmen of the Qizhou Homecoming Regiment, as well as the ordinary people who left earlier. Returning to his homeland at this time, he is very grateful to Li Jing.

The wealthy landlords of the big commercial banks in Qizhou took out a sum of money together to comfort the labor army, and held a lantern festival to celebrate, lighting the lamps for three days in a row, and the whole city was sleepless all night.

The Zhenguo army and these local homecoming groups in Qizhou put grain and soup porridge together, and the displaced people in Qizhou flocked to it, and the hungry people came everywhere outside the city. In the city, various markets have also reopened, and the night market is a little more lively. It is even more lively than this year's Shangyuan Festival.

Qizhou's lively lantern festivals and bazaars for several days also attracted a large number of other foreign merchants. and the homeless. Not only Qizhou, but also Jeju, Zizhou, and Yanzhou had a large number of people coming, and even Dizhou under the town of Yichang on the other side of the Yellow River also came.

The wealthy clans and even the local tyrants, landlords and wealthy businessmen in various states, when they saw Wang Jingwu and Huangchao fleeing south, they all understood that in the future, the territory of Qizhou would return to the Pinglu army. And most of these well-informed people already knew that Song Wei, the marshal of the Pinglu Army, was seriously ill and had just proposed to the imperial court that his son, Li Jing, should take the position of the marshal of the Pinglu Army. With the relationship between Li Jing and Song Weiyi's son, they believe that the most powerful queen of Qizhou will also be led by Li Jing.

And people from nearby states and counties rushed to come, and most of them in Kanto had such thoughts, Li Jing's Zhenguo Army is now huge, and Li Jing's prestige is even greater, and he has the handsome seal of the three towns, and he may soon become the person who also has the handsome seal of the four towns. In this area of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, no one can influence it. Now I came to make friends and pull some relationships, naturally I want to be shrouded by Li Dashuai.

In particular, some of the big clans in the two prefectures of Ziqi, when Wang Jingwu occupied these two places, they had many inexplicable connections with Wang Jingwu, and now that Wang Jingwu was defeated, they had to seek a new backer.

In addition, there were many more merchants who came to do business with the Zhenguo army. Not only can the Zhenguo army fight, but they are also good at business, which has become an almost accepted fact.

The Zhenguo army set up the Dengzhou Hall in the Biansong Dynasty, and also set up many mansions and merchants, and all the way east, and set up guild halls, commercial houses, and mansions in Cao, Yan, Pu, Yun, and Jidu, Jishui line, every time the Zhenguo Army regained a city, it would immediately establish a guild hall and a mansion shop, and would also set up many shops such as money villages, grain stores, cloth shops, and salt shops. With the arrival of Zhenguojun all the way east, these shops are no longer just separate shops, they have been connected together and have become the most powerful merchant force on the first line of Jishui at present.

Especially after the repeated sweeps of the grass thieves and the official army, the original business power of this line has almost been greatly impacted, and the shops of the Zhenguo Army now occupy a large share. Now that the Zhenguo Army has recovered Qizhou, these businessmen from all over the world are desperately rushing to discuss business cooperation with the Zhenguo Army.

The Zhenguo army is wealthy, and they can't compete and don't dare to fight, but it is impossible for the Zhenguo army to occupy the market share of these states at present, and the Zhenguo army eats meat, so they want to drink soup. Of course, the premise is to cooperate with the Zhenguo Army and stand together.

Along with these scholars and merchants were the displaced people in Qizhou and nearby who had already lost their homes and property in natural disasters and wars. Everyone knows that the Zhenguo Army will put food and ask for disaster everywhere they go. Although there are also soup kitchens in various counties, there are still a large number of displaced people from all over the city who come to Licheng, not only for that bowl of gruel, but also for the return to Dengzhou, which is known as a paradise by countless people.

The entire Qizhou Licheng is now like a huge temporary camp, with more than 20,000 Zhenguo troops stationed outside Qizhou City with more than 200,000 young people. Coupled with the swarm of displaced people, as well as those scholars and merchants, Licheng was even more lively than before the war.

The huge team of more than 200,000 people of the Zhenguo Army was even followed by an equally huge team, which was a team composed of countless small caravans. They followed the Zhenguo army all the way, and camped every day. After a few miles of stopping, it immediately became a huge grass market. They carry a wide variety of goods. Serve the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army and even those young and strong. exchanging goods for money in their hands. There were thousands of these merchants, and they followed the Zhenguo army wherever they went.

After nightfall, Qizhou is so prosperous that people will temporarily forget that it has just experienced a huge looting. At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Jing sent away another group of local gentry from Qizhou who came to meet and visit.

stretched his waist, but saw Zhang Hui walking in with a food box.

"My husband really didn't even want his life when he started to do things, so he said that he would have dinner together tonight and then go to see the lanterns. As a result, when I got busy, I forgot about anything. The husband doesn't remember that the concubine is down, but he doesn't even remember to eat, and his hungry body is his own. Zhang Hui pouted a little dissatisfied, but his tone was full of concern.

Li Jing reached out a little apologetically and grabbed her jade hand, and smiled apologetically, "There are too many things these days, Qizhou has just recovered, there are too many things up and down, and I am really sorry for snubbing the lady." ”

When Zhang Hui came in just now, he saw that there were still people waiting in line outside to receive him. Zhilu Daofujun will be busy until late tonight, and he said a few words to Li Jing at the moment. He also told him to go back to his room early and rest, and then got up and went back.

These days, Li Jing has never even slept soundly, and almost only sleeps for about two hours every day. Not only Li Jing, but also the high-level of the entire Zhenguo Army are almost like this, especially the Xiaocai Division and the General Staff Division, which are almost sleepless during this time.

Since entering Jeju, Li Jing has been making all kinds of arrangements, all of which are just for the current strategic planning of the Zhenguo Army.

Li Jing's foundation is in Dengzhou, which is in the easternmost part of the entire Henan Province, close to the sea, although there is no worries and can develop with peace of mind, but as long as there is a chaotic war, Dengzhou's position is actually not good. If he wants to do something, Li Jing must at least strive to take Ziqing Town, then Taining Town, and then Tianping Town.

This is actually the practice of Ziqing Town in the early years, when Li Shidao divided Ziqing Town, that is, from east to west, the current Taining and Tianping two towns were divided into the command, north of the Yellow River, connecting the three towns of Hebei, south of Xusi, west of the canal.

In the geographical situation of the entire Tang Dynasty, this area of Shandong belongs to the third step of China, from the east of Taihang Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Dabie Mountain, south of Youyan, and north of Jianghuai, it is an endless great plain, which is the North China Plain and the Huanghuai Plain.

In the eastern part of this great plain, there is a low hilly area, which is the low mountain and hilly area of Yuzhongnan.

This low mountain and hill is surrounded by plains on the north, west and south, and the Shandong Peninsula to the east, surrounded by the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

The low hills in central and southern Shandong are composed of Mount Tai, Lushan, Yishan and Mengshan, which constitute the main body of Shandong's topography.

The Yellow River flows east into the sea from the north side of this low hill, and Surabaya flows south into the sea from the west side of this low hill.

Most of the strategic points of Shandong are located on the four sides of this low mountain and hill, and are completely based on the situation of these mountains and rivers.

Li Jing compared to the sand table east of Taibie Mountain and north of the Huai River, and kept thinking in his mind, making important thoughts about the future strategy of the entire Zhenguo Army.

Mount Tai is in the south of Qizhou and north of Yanzhou. Lushan is located in Zizhou, between Qizhou and Qingzhou. Yishan is located in the north of Yizhou, the south of Qingzhou, between Yi and Qingzhou. The central and western part of Mengshan Yizhou is located between Yi and Yan.

Qi, Yan, Yi, Zi, Qi, these five states can be said to be the key to the whole Shandong, it can be said that the five states of Tai, Lu, Yi, Mongolia four mountains occupy the commanding heights of the entire Shandong, occupy this area, then the entire Funiu Mountain, Dabie Mountain, south of the Yellow River, north of the Huai River This large area can be smoothly under control.

And if you can't occupy the mountains and rivers of these four mountains, Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula is simply not enough to defend.

And to occupy this low mountain and hilly, there is one most important place that must not be ignored, and that is Qizhou, on the northwest side of this low mountain and hilly there is Qizhou. Qizhou is bordered by Mount Tai in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The soldiers talked about the status of Licheng and said, "Qizhou should be the rush of the four countries." If you can't Qizhou in the south, you can't ask about the river; If you can't Qizhou in the north, you don't dare to peep into Huaisi; If you can't Qizhou in the west, you can't get to Linzi; If there is no Qizhou in the east, there is no contention with Ajuan. Therefore, Shandong is in trouble, and Qizhou is often the rush of war. ”

Li Jing's gaze stared at Qizhou on the sand table, and he didn't move away for a long time! (To be continued......)
