(Thank you for the support of the two who are drunk at night and dizzy and happy.) Muzi has a terrible stomach ache today, and he only got up in the afternoon to code words, and he may only have one more chapter today. ）

The sun rises in the east, and a red sun jumps from the sea and gradually rises. When the golden morning sun swept over the eastern plains through the morning glow, climbed the Great Wall of the Northern Dragon, which winded high among the lofty mountains and mountains, and lit up the streets and alleys of Guancheng with mottled spots, Li Jing had already come down from the Great Wall and was already sitting in the hall of the temporary camp in the military capital.

At present, he has completed several of the more important official documents and signed them on the instructions approved by the cabinet on his behalf. He frowned and stood in front of the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Qin and Jin on the wooden frame next to the wall. In the morning of early June, the sunlight that had not yet exploded its power was projected through the window lattice, dragging out a long pillar of light in the house, and fine floating dust danced up and down in the pillar of light, carrying heavy loads and floating. Because he was so distracted, he stood still for a long time, looking like a statue bathed in light and shadow.

He was nervously thinking about things in the west.

Although Zhang Zimian took the initiative to ask for help this time, and had already made a military order to lead the troops to the west. It is undeniable that Zhang Zimian is indeed a general who knows the army very well, but Li Jing is worried that Zhang Zimian is new, even if he has dazzling achievements such as killing Wang Xianzhi and defeating Huang Chao, but after all, those are the past when he led troops in the imperial court. And before coming here, Zhang Zimian was defeated by Huangchao in Tongguan and almost wiped out. Now he votes under him as a county duke, and this time he serves as the marshal of the Western Expedition as a county duke, leading Yang Shihou, Gao Siji, and Li Cunxiao to fight as a marquis. Let him worry that Zhang Zimian will not be able to give the order to move the generals of the West. No matter how powerful a marshal is, if he cannot get the support of his generals, he will not be able to win the battle.

Li Jing didn't expect it. Do not transfer Li Cunxiao and other disciple generals to Zhang Zimian. But this time he was from the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Taihang Mountain area on both sides. took out 30,000 yuan to Zhang Zimian. Another 20,000 township soldiers have been withdrawn, which has already emptied some troops in the base camp of Hebei. If Zhang Zimian can't win, what's the use of cutting off his head? What Li Jing needs is victory, seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of Li Siyuan's investment this time, and give Li Ke a knife ruthlessly.

War is often like this, when an opportunity arises, you have to seize it. If you don't catch him, you risk letting someone else catch him.

To show trust. Li Jing did not send a prison army to Zhang Zimian this time, not even a teaching envoy, everything was based on Zhang Zimian, giving him 100% trust. The general is leading the troops outside, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and Li Jing himself is also the one who leads the troops, so it is impossible to restrain him outside the battlefield.

Li Jing understood that the situation Zhang Zimian faced this time was very serious. With only 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers entering Datong, he had to face 100,000 Hu bandits and tens of thousands of Shatuo troops in the south. Even Li Siyuan of Datong Town may not be fully credible now, at least his subordinates are not completely credible.

In a more strict sense. Zhang Zimian's enemies were not only the Hu people, but also the Shatuo people, including the Shatuo people under Li Siyuan.

However, Li Jing did not have more soldiers and horses to Zhang Zimian, and this time he handed over 50,000 horses to a former court general who had just come to vote, which was also a very risky decision made by Li Jing. Now there are only 70,000 people left in the entire Hebei region, to guard Yanjing, the military capital and Shanhaiguan, Lulongsai, the Great Wall, as well as Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou and other places, and defend the Khitan army in the north and the Chengde army and Wei Bo army in the south at any time.

All Li Jing could do was to order the Guo Chongtao Legion and Lin Wei Legion in the north to approach the northern area of Yinshan Mountain and create some pressure on those Hu people. In addition, Li Jing personally moved the garrison to close it, called the inspection, which was really to prepare for the worst. In case the situation of the battle is unfavorable, Li Jing will have to take his guards and Yanjing guards out of the pass to reinforce when he arrives.

Entering June, Zhang Zimian has also sent troops for many days.

Zhang Zimian sent back a report saying that he had discussed with Li Siyuan, in order to prevent Li Siyuan from fighting with the Shatuo people, his subordinates suddenly defected, and they decided to let Li Siyuan lead his 20,000 Shatuo soldiers and 50,000 Shatuo auxiliaries to assemble, and then move to the north of Yunzhou to guard the Niupi Pass of Qingpo Road, the only way for the Hu people to go south. After Zhang Zimian left 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries to garrison Yunzhou, he had already led 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries to Shuozhou.

The Military Intelligence Bureau and the CIA also reported successively that Li Keyong was still in Hezhong Town, and his 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 auxiliaries were all staying in Hezhong Town, and they were about to cross the river with the Hezhong coalition army to attack the Henan puppet Qi soldiers and horses. For this situation, Li Jing felt very puzzled, now that Li Ke was on fire in the backyard, he didn't rush back to rescue his hometown, but he still wanted to go south to crusade against Pseudo-Qi, where did this calmness come from?

Whether Li Keyong really couldn't help himself and was restrained by Zheng Congyan and other Hedong marshals, or did Li Keyong actually have other arrangements a long time ago, so he was not worried at all.

Now the question is, what exactly is the aftermath used by Li Ke? This time, what is Li Keyong going to do? Could it be that Li Keyong really plans to give up Datong Town, what about Yanmen Town, if he doesn't come back, Yanmen may not be guaranteed.

His gaze lingered for a long time on the top of the map, where there were rolling hills and rivers, large blank areas, marked with only a few rivers and mountains, and a few place names. Yunzhong, Wuzhou, Jingbian, Baishanshan, Niupiguan, Qingpodao, Huanghuadui, Lahe Valley, Mayi, Shanyang, Shuozhou, Xincheng, Loufuguan, Yanmen Pass, Juzhu Mountain, Shenwuchuan, Sanggan River.

For Li Jing, he is no stranger to Yunzhou and Shuozhou, and even Yanmen Daizhou and Xinzhou. It is still better within Yanmen Pass, it has always been a place controlled by the Central Plains, but Yunshuo outside Yanmen is already outside the plug, even if it has always been the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, there are more Hu people here than Han people, Han and Hu live together, and the people are fierce. Moreover, because the Qin army had carried out the strategy of forcibly relocating the Hu people in these border areas here, the border people in these places did not have a good impression of the Qin army, and Li Jing's army did not get much support in this area.

The two states of Yunshuo in Datong are vast and sparsely populated, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the supply is difficult, and tens of thousands of horses are thrown into it, which is really like a stone thrown into the sea.

On the contrary, Li Keyong has great prestige in this region. Shatuo moved to the Tang Dynasty for decades and has been living outside Yanmen Pass. Administer the tribes on behalf of the imperial court. Many of the tribeamen only know the Shatuo Zhu evil family. And I don't know that Lu Dao is actually Li Tang's territory. Li Keyong can rise and fall, but he does not fall, to a large extent, because of the support they have received in the land of Daibei. Every time he fell, he always recovered here. Li Keyong is very good at fighting, has a vicious vision, is brave and dares to fight, and dares to take risks. These fierce Hu people who cooperate with Daibei are born warriors, so he can always pull up a strong team.

He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, his black pupils glinting with wisdom behind his eyelids.

He suddenly remembered an earlier conversation with Whitebeard.

One day, he went to Tianjin to inspect, and after dealing with official business, because he had a little spare time, he went to meet Whitebeard and other retired pirates who had moved to Tianjin with the headquarters of the sailor. These old pirates have long since been on board. Each of them has the title of Sailor Advisor, or Instructor or Teaching Assistant of the Sailor Academy. With a fixed salary, life is very chic. When Li Jing chatted with him, he talked about Li Keyong and the Shatuo people in Daibei. Whitebeard believed at the time that the biggest reason why Li Keyong could always get up again after every defeat was the problem of Daibei. The Li family has been in Daibei for more than 60 years and has long been deeply rooted. Moreover, there are many people in the Northern Han Dynasty, the people are fierce, difficult to control, and they have always admired the strong, and Li Keyong's brave performance just convinced many border people. However, the imperial court has no prestige in Daibei at all, so it is said that even if Li Keyong is defeated, the border people of Daibei are always willing to follow him. Even the mighty Qin army struggled to gain a foothold in this region.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Li Keyong, the key is to pacify the border people in the northern part of the country. Daibei is the root of Li Keyong, if the root of Daibei is gone, Li Keyong will not be afraid.

He couldn't help but be impressed by this old pirate at that time, but he didn't expect that in addition to robbing all over the sea, he could even see the situation in Daibei, which was thousands of miles away, so clearly. He once asked Whitebeard how he came to this conclusion, but Whitebeard laughed and told him proudly that he didn't come up with it. It's just that when he was an honorary professor in the Sailor Academy, he happened to see it from a student's time planning coursework, and he thought that what the student said made some sense, so he wrote it down.

"What's that student's name?" Li Jing asked at the time, but Whitebeard didn't remember it at all. Afterwards, Li Jing sent someone to find out, and finally found that it was mentioned by a sailor student named Li An, Li Jing personally met this young student, asked him a lot of questions, and was very satisfied with him.

He remembered that when he met Li An, a distant nephew of his family, he once asked him, since he proposed to deal with Li Keyong, he should start with Daibei first, so how to start specifically, Li An, who was still full of childishness, but eighteen years old, said with a cold face on his face: "One word can solve it, kill!" As long as you kill all these fierce border people who refuse to join us, Li Keyong will be a rootless tree. If the king is not too troublesome, it can also be solved in two words, migration. All the Hu people and Han people in the north of the dynasty were all moved, just as the king did with the Goguryeo people in the past, and they were scattered and moved into the interior to settle various prefectures and counties. ”

Of course, the specific can't be solved in one word or two, Ang Li said to Li Jing for a long time, and put forward a lot of practical and feasible plans. In fact, what satisfied Li Jing the most was to relocate the border people in Daibei, and then resettle those displaced people who entered the Qin domain to Daibei. At the same time, the Great Wall on the border between the north and the grassland was repaired, the beacon fortress was rebuilt, and the fortress was fortified. Of course, it is also necessary to build several cement avenues to connect the entire Daibei. With the Great Wall, cement trunk road, military fort, beacon tower, city, form a close network, just like a spider weaving web, the local garrison is stationed in the Great Wall and various military cities in peacetime, once there is a police, the beacon fire is passed on, then the patrol soldiers and horses retreat into the fort, and the troops stationed in important towns quickly lead to the defense along the main road.

In his plan, immigrants can remove the fierce border people, Chang'an, can block the Hu people, beacon fires, fortress garrisons, once there is a police, the people can immediately withdraw into various cities to take refuge. With the cement road, not only can the soldiers and horses quickly reach the front line, but also the problem of grain and grass transportation can be solved.

Li Jing admired Li An's plan at the beginning, but he only appreciated it, because the strategic center of gravity of the Qin army at that time was in Hebei, and Daibei was not in consideration. But for now, perhaps he should take the matter seriously. (To be continued......)
