Firecrackers are ringing and colorful flags are flying. The city of Lizhou is full of lights and decorations, and there is laughter and joy.

On June 18th, Li Jing led the town ** to advance east along the Ji River and headed straight to Qizhou. At the same time, the Pinglu army on the Qizi border east was ready to fight, prepare for the troops, and marched westward to attack Qizhou. Faced with the attacks between the east and west of the official army, Huang Chao finally persuaded Wang Jingwu, gave up Qizhou, which had been operating for a long time, and retreated southward.

On June 22, Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi fought together with 50,000 soldiers and 150,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 200,000 young and strong men and women. After looting all the ten counties in Qizhou, they retreated south in large numbers.

On June 25, Li Jing led the town ** to enter Qizhou along the Ji River, and recovered Shanshicheng on the same day. On the 26th, the town ** entered Licheng. On the same day, Li Jing sent the town ** troops to quickly enter Qizhou Zhucheng. As soon as he recovered Qizhou, Li Jing ordered the town ** troops to carry out a new round of sweeps to the entire Licheng. This time, Li Jing did not collect the population of Qizhou. After the large population was taken away by Wang Jingwu, the population was not ten.

However, as the news of Li Jing's recovery of Qizhou came out, as early as when Wang Jingwugang rebelled, he had already seen the situation as a large number of Qizhou's aristocratic families and local landlords and merchants fled to other places, and returned to Qizhou as soon as possible.

Li Jing protected all the property of these people and did not collect it. Moreover, the town quickly swept away the remnants of the bandits and rebels from all over the country and maintained local order. There was no great turmoil in Qizhou. On the contrary, Qizhou was quickly reviving anger.

The nobles, tyrants and wealthy businessmen who returned home in Qizhou, as well as ordinary people who left earlier, were extremely grateful to Li Jing when he returned to his hometown.

The wealthy business owners of the big business in Qizhou took out a sum of money to express their condolences to the labor army, and held a lantern festival to celebrate. The lanterns were burned for three consecutive days, and the whole city of Licheng could not sleep day and night.

The town and these local returning groups in Qizhou put food and porridge together. The refugees from Qizhou flocked to the city, and hungry people came everywhere outside the city. In the city, various markets were also opened again, and the night markets were repeated a little lively. It was even more lively than this year's Chinese New Year Festival.

The lively Lantern Festival and market in Qizhou for several days also attracted a large number of other foreign merchants and refugees. Not only Qizhou, but also Jeju, Zibo, and Yanzhou, but also people came, and even Dizhou below Yichang Town on the other side of the Yellow River.

The aristocratic families and even the rich landlords and wealthy businessmen in various states, when they saw Wang Jingwu and Huang Chao fleeing south, they all understood that the land in Qizhou would return to the Pinglu army in the future. Most of these well-informed people already knew that Song Wei, the commander of the Pinglu army, was seriously ill and had just proposed to the court that his adopted son Li Jing would serve as the commander of the Pinglu army. With Li Jing as Song Wei's adopted son, they believed that Li Jing would be the commander of Qizhou in the end.

When people from nearby prefectures and counties come, most of Guandong have the idea of ​​this. Li Jing's town is now very powerful, and Li Jing's prestige is even more powerful. As the three towns of the commander seals, he may soon become a person who is the commander seals of the four towns. In the lower reaches of the Yellow River, no one can surpass him in terms of influence. Now, we come to have a friendship and create some relationship, so we naturally want to be shrouded by Li Dashang.

Especially some of the great tribes in Zibo and Qi prefectures, when Wang Jingwu occupied these two places, they had many inexplicable connections with Wang Jingwu. Now that Wang Jingwu is defeated, they must seek a new backer.

There are also more businessmen who come to do business with the town. Not only can the town fight, but they can do business, which has almost become a recognized fact.

Zhen** established Dengzhou Guild Hall in Bian Song Dynasty, and many di shops and business shops. Along the way, there were also guild halls, commercial shops, di shops, di shops, and Jishui front lines in Cao, Yan, Pu, Yun, Jidu. Every time the town regained a city, it would immediately establish guild halls and di shops, and also set up many shops such as money shops, grain shops, cloth shops, salt shops and other shops. With Zhen** coming all the way, these shops were no longer just individual shops, they had already joined forces and became the most powerful business force on the Jishui front lines.

Especially after the repeated sweeps of the thieves and the official army have recently swept the original merchant forces on this line have almost suffered a huge impact, and the shops in the town now occupy a large share. Now that the town has recovered Qizhou, these merchants from all directions have come desperately to negotiate business cooperation with the town.

The town has a large fortune and they dare not fight for it, but the town cannot occupy all the market share in the current states. If the town eats meat, they want to drink soup. Of course, the premise is to cooperate with the town and stand together.

The people who came with these gentry and merchants were those refugees in Qizhou and nearby who had already lost their family and lost their birth in natural disasters and wars. Everyone knew that the town would release food to seek disasters whenever they went. Although there were also porridge and grain in each county, a large number of refugees still rushed to Licheng from all directions. These people did not just for that bowl of porridge. They hoped to follow the town and return to Dengzhou, which was known as the paradise of the world, which was rumored by countless people.

The entire Licheng of Qizhou is now like a huge temporary camp. The town has more than 20,000 people, and more than 200,000 young and strong people are stationed outside Qizhou City. In addition to the refugees who flocked in, and the gentry and businessmen, Licheng is more lively than before the war.

The huge team of more than 200,000 in the town was even followed by an equally huge team, which was a team composed of countless small caravans. They followed the town, and when they camped every day, they immediately became a huge grass market. They brought various commodities to the soldiers and even the young and strong men in the town, and exchanged goods for the money in their hands. There were thousands of merchants, and they followed wherever the town went.

After nightfall, Qizhou was prosperous, making people temporarily forget that there had just been a huge looting here. At the hour of Hai (9 pm), Li Jing sent away another group of local gentry in Qizhou who came to visit.

After stretching, Zhang Hui walked in with a food box.

"My husband really doesn't even want to have life when he does things. He agreed to have dinner together tonight and then go to see the lanterns. As a result, he forgot everything when he gets busy. Husband just doesn't remember me, but he doesn't even remember to eat. He is hungry and his body is his own." Zhang Hui pouted with dissatisfaction, but his tone was full of care.

Li Jing reached out his hand apologetically and grabbed her jade hand, and smiled apologetically, "There are too many things these days. Qizhou has just recovered, and there are too many things going on across the board. I'm really sorry for neglecting my wife."

When Zhang Hui came in just now, she saw someone outside waiting for the meeting. She knew that her husband would be busy until very late tonight, so she said a few words to Li Jing. She asked her to go back to the room earlier and then got up and went back.

These days, Li Jing hasn't even slept with a stable sleep, and he only slept for about two hours every day. Not only Li Jing, but also the top leaders of the entire town are almost like this, especially the Knights and Staff Office, who have almost never sleep during this period.

Since entering Jeju, Li Jing has been making various arrangements, everything is just for the current strategic plan of the town.

Li Jing's foundation is in Dengzhou, which is located at the easternmost point of the entire Henan Road and is close to the sea. Although there is no worries and can develop with peace of mind, as long as the chaos is in chaos, Dengzhou is actually not in a good position. If you want to do something, Li Jing must at least strive to take Ziqing Town first, then Taining Town, and then Tianping Town.

This is actually the practice of Ziqing Town in the early years. When Li Shidao seized Ziqing Town, he placed the current two towns of Taining and Tianping from east to west. He was connected to the three towns of Hebei by the Yellow River in the north, and bounded to Xusi in the south and the canal in the west.

In terms of the entire geographical situation of the Tang Dynasty, Shandong is on the third step of China, from the Taihang Mountains, Funiu Mountains, east of the Dabie Mountains, south of Youyan Mountains, and north of the Jianghuai River. It is an endless plain, which is the North China Plain and the Huanghuai Plain.

In the east of this large plain, there is a low-mountain and hilly area, which is a low-mountain and hilly area in the south of the fish.

The north, west and south of this low hill are plains, and the east is the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

The low hills and hills in central and southern Shandong are composed of Mount Tai, Mount Lu, Mount Yi and Mount Meng, forming the main body of Shandong terrain.

The Yellow River flows into the sea from the north side of this low hill, and the Si Shui flows into the sea from the west side of this low hill.

The strategic points of the entire Shandong are mostly located on the four sides of this low hill, along with the mountains and rivers, and are completely based on the situation of these mountains and rivers.

Li Jing compared the sand table east of Taibi Mountain and north of Huai River, and kept thinking in his mind, making important thoughts for the future strategy of the entire town.

Mount Tai is located in the south of Qizhou and the north of Yanzhou. Mount Lu is located in Zizhou between Qizhou and Qingzhou. Mount Yi is located in the north of Yizhou and the south of Qingzhou, between Yi and Qingzhou. Mount Meng is located in the central and western part of Yizhou and Yan.

Qi, Yan, Yi, Zi, Qi, these five prefectures are the key places for the entire Shandong. It can be said that among these five prefectures, the four mountains of Tai, Lu, Yi and Meng occupy the commanding heights of the entire Shandong and occupy this area. Then, this large area of ​​Funiu Mountain, east of the Dabie Mountains, south of the Yellow River, and north of the Huai River can be smoothly under control.

If the mountains and rivers and territories of these four mountains cannot be occupied, Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula is not enough to defend.

To occupy this low mountain hill, there is one most important place that cannot be ignored, that is Qizhou. On the northwest side of this low mountain hill, there is Qizhou. Qizhou is adjacent to Mount Tai in the south and blocks the Yellow River in the north. The military strategists say that "Qizhou should be the four-level battle. If Qizhou in the south is not available, there is no way to ask about Heji; if Qizhou in the north is not available, there is no way to see Huai and Si; if Qizhou in the west is not available, there is no way to achieve success in Linzi; if Qizhou in the east is not available, there is no way to compete with Ajuan. Therefore, Shandong is in trouble, and Qizhou is often a battle for war and defense."

Li Jing stared at Qizhou on the sand tray, but he didn't move away for a long time! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
