"Qi Di is easy to be weak and die with self-discipline, and it is enough to strengthen himself and gather things by attacking others!" Jing Xiang directly talked about the topography of mountains and rivers in eastern Henan. Jing Xiang is very familiar with the topography of the mountains and rivers of China, and it is very methodical to say.

"The entire territory of the Tang Dynasty can be roughly divided into nine blocks according to the topography of mountains and rivers, with four sides and four corners and one center. From the perspective of military geography, the geographical pattern of the world is like an irregular Go board. On this non-standard Go board, Guanzhong, Hebei, Southeast and Shuzhong are its four corners, Hedong, Qingqi, Jingxiang and Hanzhong are its four sides, and the Central Plains is its central hinterland. Although the territory of China is vast, it is mainly the above nine regions that have played a decisive role in the wars of the past dynasties. ”

According to Jing Xiang, the closed nature of Qingqi's terrain is not as good as that of other corners, and it is possible to be attacked on three sides, and it is not easy to hold on. Moreover, the low mountains and hills of Qingzhou are only a few hundred miles in radius, and the biggest weakness is the lack of strategic depth.

"When the world is in turmoil, Qingqi is easy to become a place of separation. For example, Tian Dan at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Tian Rong at the time of the Chu and Han Dynasties, Zhang Bu and Dong Xian after Wang Mang, Liu Dai at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Duan Niche, Mu Rongde during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and Li Daogu of our dynasty all had a division of Qingqi. But all of the above-mentioned people have failed to make a difference. Once the situation around Qingqi was settled, these separatist forces would soon be wiped out. ”

Li Jing and everyone present couldn't help nodding, Jing Xiang's words were very reasonable. Since ancient times, the easiest thing to do is Guanzhong, then Hebei, then Hedong, and then Bashu. The most difficult ones are the southeast and Qingqi. The Land of Green Qi. The only one in the past who can accomplish great things with the most resounding of this place. After all, there is only one Cao Cao. Moreover, Caozhou was originally in Yanzhou, and it was still in the west of Ziqing Town, which should belong to the territory of the Taining Army.

Qingqi can only be regarded as the eastern part of Shandong, and the status of the entire Shandong can only be seen on the background of the great plain east of the entire Taihang Mountain, Funiu Mountain, and Dabie Mountain. The low mountains and hills of Shandong are surrounded by plains, which are not conducive to defending, but are conducive to attacking people in all directions. Based on this, it is vertical and horizontal. Enough to make a difference.

Historically, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was based in Yanzhou, and rose among the heroes to sweep away the princes and unify the north.

Moreover, Shandong is located on the waterway transportation line between the north and the south, and its topography is not enough to rely on the eastern plains, so it has a pivotal position between the north and the south. The southern gateway of Hebei must rely on Shandong, and the upper reaches of Huaisi in the southeast must also use Shandong as a barrier to confront the north and south. Shandong is the focus of contention.

Whether it is the south or the north, if you can occupy Shandong. A favorable situation has been achieved. For the south and the side, Shandong, into the Central Plains, in the north of Youyan, retreat can be the wing of Huaisi, consolidate Jianghuai. As far as the north is concerned, advancing can force Jianghuai in the south, and retreating can cover Hebei.

"What Mr. Jing means, Ziqing Town is not enough?" Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

Although Jing Xiang knew that Li Zhen was the first strategist of the Zhenguo Army, he also nodded at this time and said: "Yes, decades ago, the Li Shishi family divided Ziqing for 60 years, and as a non-local Hu clan from the floating sea in western Liaoning, they finally laid down the territory of more than ten states in the three towns of Ziqing, Taining and Tianping, and divided it for 60 years, making it the strongest domain in the world at that time, even surpassing the three towns of Hebei. But everyone can also see that although the three towns of Hebei are also weakened now, the three towns of Hebei are still there, only Ziqing Town is no longer the original, and the Li family of Goguryeo has long been defeated. Why? The land of Qilu is not a place to be defended. ”

"Not only Ziqing Town, but the entire land of Qilu lacks depth and has no danger to defend. In addition, Ziqing is located between the north and the south, and monitors the canal and the water transportation of the Yellow River and the Jihe River, and has one of the four major seaports, Dengju Port, and one of the two major seaways, Dengju into the Silla Bohai Road. This place is very closely watched by the imperial court. They would rather see Hebei all divided, than see Ziqing Town break away from the control of the imperial court. ”

Jing Xiang was a little excited, "Besides, there are Wang Jingwu and others in Ziqing Town right now, and it is not easy to control, and forcibly controlling it will only cause unnecessary trouble." It is better to temporarily withdraw the center of gravity from Ziqing Town, so that the whole world will know that the marshal is not only loyal to the imperial court and His Majesty, but also has no intention of being a strong vassal that is self-reliant. At present, the imperial court is in full swing, and we can concentrate on running Liaodong. ”

"Liaodong bitter cold remote place, what is there to operate, poor mountains and remote waters!" Some people objected, and it was Guo Chengan, who was born in southern Liaoning, who objected.

"Definitely!" Jing Xiang shook his head, "There is a way to be the belly of the silver horn grass in Phnom Penh, the world is fighting together, Ziqing Town is a place where enemies are attacked on three sides, and it is under the attack of the north and the south. Moreover, Ziqing Town is a flat river, and once it fights, no matter how rich it is, it will be destroyed in the war immediately. But Liaodong is different, Liaodong is a stable rear. If we manage Liaodong well, we will be able to be invincible, enter and exit Ziqing, and retreat from Liaodong. ”

Zhang Chengye sat on the side and listened to it, and his face became darker, and the more Jing Xiang spoke, the more he didn't speak. What is this talking about, this is simply a naked attempt to provoke the handsome man to rebel. What can be attacked, what can be defended, and what is based on Liaodong as the foundation of the land, this is really not true.

Li Jing saw the expression on Zhang Chengye's face and suspended the meeting immediately. However, after everyone left, he immediately recruited Li Zhen, Guo Chengan, Wang Pu, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu, Liu Xun and Guo Shunli to his secretary's secret business.

Jing Xiang was lectured a few words by Zhang Chengye, the prison army, and he was a little apprehensive, after all, the marshal also has a reputation for being a loyal monarch, and his previous words were indeed a little too much. But after receiving the call of Li Jing's guards and entering the secretary, he immediately understood in his heart that Li Dashuai was also a person with great ambitions.

"That's what you just said, let's move on." Li Jing said with a smile.

Next, Jing Xiang said more boldly.

His idea is very simple, that is, to run Liaodong with all his might to stabilize the rear, but he can't give up Ziqing Town, but Ziqing Town doesn't have to be too careful for the time being. It is the best policy to recover Liaodong and Liaoxi first. After all, in the current situation, even if Li Jing has the prestige of winning a hundred battles, he must not venture to attack other feudal towns. Not to mention attacking other feudal towns, even Ziqing Town, it is best not to touch him.

Keeping Wang Jingwu and others in Ziqing Town can avoid expanding the conflict. Secondly. It is also to show the court and the emperor and the people of the world their hearts. proves that he, Li Jing, is not the kind of person who covets power. Let the eyes of the court not have to keep staring at Li Jing, to prevent the wood from showing in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It is necessary to buy time and develop without interference. At the same time, Li Jing has the official position of the protector of Anton, and no matter how hard he fights with the Goguryeo and Khitan people, no one will care about them. The territory they have laid will never be coveted by anyone.

At this stage. If you want to develop in Ziqing Town, it will inevitably attract great resistance. But take a step back and go to Liaodong to develop, you can develop with peace of mind. Besides, Liaodong is not really bitter cold. At the very least, southern Liaoning is much stronger than many places in the Central Plains.

What's more critical is that according to Jingxiang's plan, Ziqing Town is not a place where hegemony can be achieved, and Liaodong is certainly not either. If you want to become a hegemon, the key is to seize the land of Youyan in Hebei. Take Liaodong and Liaoxi. At that time, from the north to the south, from outside the gate. After capturing Youyan, at that time, the land of Qilu was quite stable.

As for Li Jing's current situation, he really has to consider a long-term strategic plan. In Li Jing's view, although Zhu Wen in history destroyed Tang Jianliang after the four wars in a place like Bianliang, it was precisely because he occupied the Central Plains of the land of the four wars that he had been unable to destroy the heroes of Hebei and Hedong, so Zhu Wen's Houliang would die so quickly. And when he was alive, the southern lands were only superficially obedient.

Zhu Wen is in a weak position in the entire strategic layout, and because of this, although Li Keyong, the king of Jin, only occupies a small piece of territory in Hedong, and is often defeated, but it can be indestructible. But the Central Plains couldn't, and a partial division of the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed the Later Liang.

This plan is more in line with Li Jing's thoughts, at this stage, he just wants to keep a low profile.

Some time ago, it was too high-profile, and there is already a long list of official positions on the head of such a young man, and all of them are top-level official positions. He is now somewhat on the top of the volcano, but he has neither many soldiers nor strong horses, and Li Jing now needs to expand and strengthen his army with all his might. Many officers of the Zhenguo Army are already a little overconfident and inflated, and they really think that the Zhenguo Army is invincible in the world, and can even be the enemy of the world. But Li Jing knows very well that the prestige of the Son of Heaven in the imperial court is still there, and the Son of Heaven can summon 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers and horses with an edict. At that time, there were no allies, but all enemies.

"The post is still the same sentence, take away all the young and strong people in Ziqing Town, take away the big households, and give Wang Jingwu a Ziqing Town that has nothing to keep. Wang Jingwu and Xue Chong and Li are not really allies, and if we press hard, they will definitely unite against us. But if we just empty the town of Ziqing, we don't pay attention to them. The subordinates are sure that there will inevitably be an infighting among the last three people. ”

"Of course, we can take people away, but the soldiers have to stay." Jing Xiang walked to the sand table and sighed at the sand table. "We don't have to worry about Qingzhou, Zizhou and other important cities. I mean, let's control the soldiers and horses on the front line. In this way, it will be able to maintain a great deterrent to Ziqing Town. As soon as the need arises, we will be able to pass along the Jishui route and quickly intersperse and occupy the entire four prefectures of Ziqing. ”

"It's very good, and stationing the soldiers and horses on the front line of Jishui means that we control the two sections of water transportation in the Yellow River and Jishui, and at the same time protect our Yellow River and Jishui water transportation trade routes."

In addition to Dengzhou, Ziqing Town also has 26 counties in Zi, Qi, Qing and Lai. The four states are all Tian Lingzi's people, we don't have to pay attention to him, but we can send our soldiers and horses to the eight counties of Shanchi, Licheng, Quanjie, Linyi, Zhangqiu, Linji, Zhu'a, and Yucheng in Qizhou, as well as the four counties of Zouping, Jiyang, Gaoyuan, and Changshan in Zizhou, as well as the three counties of Bochang, Qiancheng, and Linzi in Qingzhou, and all the fifteen counties along the Jishui River will be stationed in our soldiers and horses, and in addition, in Qingzhou Niushan, Zizhou Changbai Mountain, and Qizhou Huashan, we will also send troops and horses. We only guarded these fifteen counties and three mountains, and the remaining eleven counties, including Qingzhou and other cities, were handed over to Wang Jingwu. ”

"Fifteen counties plus three mountains, each county garrisoned a thousand soldiers and horses, three mountains each garrisoned three thousand men and horses, plus a ranger army. We stationed 25,000 men and horses in Ziqing Town, and sent the Zhenguo Army to garrison. ”

Li Jing chuckled, "Add one more county, and Laizhou's coastal county will also belong to us." The sixteen counties and three mountains are completely owned by us, and the remaining ten counties can be handed over to Wang Jingwu. The well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, and the land is divided and treated. I believe that Wang Jingwu will be very happy after learning about this news. ”

Li Zhen thought for a while, "If the marshal really makes such a proposal, I believe Wang Jingwu will definitely agree." As long as we don't beat them, he won't be able to agree immediately. ”

This plan is really good, at least it is much more comfortable than throwing it all to Wang Wujing. At this time, the Zhenguo army held the counties on the first line of Jishui, plus Ye County on the west coast of Dengzhou, so they could control Ziqing Town, and there was no need to immediately clash with Wang Jingwu and others. And maybe in the eyes of others, Li Jing seems to be a little weak and easy to bully, but this is exactly what Li Jing wants others to see and think now.

"The big families and young men and women in the remaining ten counties of Ziqing were forcibly relocated, so let's do it, and the ten counties moved young and strong men and women together with their families and 100,000 into Liaodong. As for the sixteen counties under our control, 300,000 people were moved from them to Liaodong. After thinking about it, Li Jing decided to relocate. Ziqing Town will have to fight sooner or later, rather than letting these people stay here, or let them provide Wang Jingwu with money, grain, taxes and strong men, it is better to simply move them to Liaodong. Anyway, according to the set strategy, Ziqing Town will not be in a hurry to control the occupation for a few years, or even longer.

"Moved 400,000 people, I'm afraid that Ziqing Town will really decline."

"There will be an impact, but don't worry too much, we can continue to recruit displaced people. Believe me, there will be more and more displaced people in the future. Li Jing let out a long sigh.

Li Tang didn't say that he could prosper after a few victories, although the Shatuo clan, Nanzhao, and grass thieves were all defeated, it didn't mean that Li Tang would be able to prosper. The fall of the Tang Dynasty was only a historical inevitability, and it was the eruption of many contradictions. Wang Xianzhi is dead, and Huang Chao is still there, for this guy who still doesn't know where Lu Dao is fleeing, Li Jing knows Lu Dao, he will definitely make a comeback.

In addition to Huang Chao, Li Jing's eyes have been staring at Youzhou on the map. He knew very well in his heart that the entire Youzhou had now become a powder keg, and any spark that splashed could cause a violent explosion!

Explode, since the Datang building can no longer support it, it is better to simply dump it as soon as possible, so that it can be rebuilt! (To be continued......)
