"If you use self-control in Qi, you will easily become weak and perish. If you attack others, you will be able to be self-reliant and gather things!" Jing Xiang directly talked about the mountains and rivers in eastern Henan. Free e-book download. Jing Xiang knew very well about the mountains and rivers in China and said it was orderly and reasonable.

"The entire Tang Dynasty can be roughly divided into nine major pieces according to the mountain and river terrain, four sides, 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 irregular Go board, Guanzhong, Hebei, southeast and Shuzhong are its four corners, Hedong, Qingqi, Jingxiang and Hanzhong are its four sides, and the Central Plains are its central hinterland. Although the territory of China is vast, the above nine major areas are mainly the above-mentioned wars."

According to Jing Xiang, the closed surname of Qingqi terrain is not as good as other corners. It may be attacked on all three sides and is not easy to defend. Moreover, Qingzhou's low mountains and hills are only a few hundred miles in a radius. The biggest weakness is the lack of strategic depth. As soon as several places are almost broken through, the entire territory may be penetrated.

"When the world is chaotic, Qingqi can easily become a separatist place. For example, Tian Dan at the end of Qin Dynasty, Tian Rong at the end of Chu and Han Dynasty, Zhang Bu and Dong Xian after Wang Mang, Liu Dai at the end of Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Yi and Duan Kan at the end of Western Jin Dynasty, Murongde at the end of Sixteen Kingdoms, and Li Daogu of our dynasty had all separatist place. However, the above-mentioned people could not make any difference in separatist place. Once the situation around Qingqi was settled, these separatist forces would be destroyed."

Li Jing and everyone here couldn't help but nod. Jing Xiang's words made sense. Since ancient times, the easiest thing to do was Guanzhong, then Hebei, then Hedong, and then Bashu. The most difficult thing was the southeast and Qingqi. The only place in Qingqi that could finally achieve great achievements in this place in all dynasties is that there is only one Cao Cao. Moreover, Caozhou was originally in Yanzhou, and it was still west of Ziqing Town, and it should belong to 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 large plains east of the mountain range of the Taihang Mountains, Funiu Mountains and Dabie Mountains. The low mountains and hills in Shandong are surrounded by plains, which is not conducive to defending, but is conducive to attacking people. Using this as a base, it is sufficient to make a difference.

Historically, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao took Yanzhou as his base and finally rose among the heroes, wiped out the princes and unified the north.

Moreover, Shandong is located on the water transportation line between the north and the south. Its terrain is not enough to be a reliance on the eastern plain, so it has a hub status between the north and the south. The southern portal of Hebei must rely on Shandong, and the upper reaches of the southeast Huaisi must also use Shandong as a barrier. When the north and the south confrontation, Shandong is the focus of competition.

In terms of whether it is the south or the north, if you can occupy Shandong, you will have a favorable situation. For the south and the east, you can reach the Central Plains, facing Youyan in the north, and retreating can cover the Huai and Si, consolidating the Jianghuai. For the north, advancing can force the Jianghuai and Huai in the south, and retreating can cover the Hebei in the west.

"Mr. Jing's intention is not enough to be based on Ziqing Town?" Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

Although Jingxiang knew that Li Zhen was the first strategist of the town [***], he nodded at this time: "Yes, decades ago, the Li Shishi family separatisted Ziqing for 60 years. With the identity of a different Hu clan from the floating sea in western Liaoning, they finally captured the current three towns of Ziqing, Taining and Tianping for more than ten prefectures. After 60 years of separatist, they were the most powerful vassal in the world at that time, and even surpassed the three towns of Hebei. But everyone also saw that although the three towns of Hebei have weakened now, the three towns of Hebei are still there, but Ziqing Town is no longer the same as before, and the Li family of Goguryeo has long been defeated. Why? The land of Qi and Lu is not a place to defend."

"Not only Ziqing Town, but also the entire Qilu land lacks depth and can be guarded. Moreover, Ziqing is located between the north and the south, and monitors the canal, the Yellow River and the Ji River water transportation. It also has Dengzhou Port, one of the four major seaports, and Dengzhou, one of the two major seaports, and Dengzhou into Luobohai Road. The imperial court is very concerned about this place. They would rather watch Hebei all have separatist than watch Ziqing Town break away from the control of the court."

Jingxiang was a little excited, "Besides, there are Wang Jingwu and others in Ziqing Town at present, which is not easy to control. Forced control will only cause unnecessary trouble. It is better to temporarily withdraw the center of gravity from Ziqing Town. In this way, the whole world will know that the general is not only loyal to the court and His Majesty, but also intends to be a powerful vassal who is separatist and independent. The court is booming at the moment, and we can focus on managing Liaodong."

"What can I do in the remote and bitter place in Liaodong? It's poor and remote waters!" Some people objected, but Guo Chengan, who was born in southern Liaoning, actually opposed it.

"No!" Jing Xiang shook his head, "It is said that it is a golden edge, silver horned grass belly. When the world is in war, Ziqing Town is an enemy on three sides, under attack from north to south. Moreover, Ziqing Town is flat and once it fights, no matter how rich it is, it will be destroyed immediately by war. But Liaodong is different. Liaodong is a stable rear. If we manage Liaodong well, we can stand invincible. If we enter and exit Ziqing, we can take control of Liaodong."

The more Zhang Chengye sat on the side, the darker his face became, and the more Jing Xiang said, the less he became. What is this? This is simply a nude provoking the general to be rebellious. What can be attacked and retreated and defended, and what is based on Liaodong as the foundation, is really unreasonable.

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

Jing Xiang was scolded by the military inspector Zhang Chengye before, and was a little nervous. After all, the general also had the name of loyalty to the emperor, and he had indeed said a little earlier. But after receiving the call from Li Jing's guard and entering the secretary, he immediately understood that General Li was also a person with great ambitions.

"Where we said just now, let's continue." Li Jing said with a smile.

Next, Jing Xiang said it more boldly.

His idea is very simple, which is to fully manage Liaodong to stabilize the rear, but he cannot give up Ziqing Town. However, Ziqing Town does not need to be too careful for the time being. The best way to recover Liaodong first and Liaoxi is to recover. After all, in the current situation, even if Li Jing has the reputation of winning every battle, he must not rashly attack other vassal states. Not to mention attacking other vassal states, even Ziqing Town, it is best not to touch him.

Keeping Wang Jingwu and others in Ziqing Town can avoid expanding the conflict, and secondly, it can also use this to express his feelings to the court, the emperor and the people of the world, proving that Li Jing is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. Let the court's eyes not be kept staring at Li Jing, preventing the wood from showing off in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. We must fight for time and develop without interference. At the same time, Li Jing has the official position of Anton's Grand Protector. No matter how powerful he fought against Goguryeo and Khitans, no one would care about them. The territory they captured would never be greedy.

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

The key thing is that according to Jingxiang's plan, Ziqing Town is not a place where he can become a hegemony, and of course Liaodong is not. To become a hegemony, the key thing is to seize the land of Youyan in Hebei. Take down Liaodong and Liaoxi, and then from north to south, and then enter from outside the pass, and after capturing Youyan, you will be quite stable after occupying Qilu.

As for Li Jing's current situation, he really had to consider a long-term strategic plan. In Li Jing's view, although Zhu Wen in history finally destroyed Tang Jianliang based on a four-war land like Bianliang, it was precisely because he occupied the Central Plains of the Four-war land and destroyed the heroes of Hebei and Hedong that Zhu Wen's Later Liang was so impressed. Moreover, when he was alive, the southern areas were just superficially submissive.

Zhu Wen was at a disadvantage in his entire strategic layout. For this reason, although King Li Keyong of Jin only occupied a small piece of territory in Hedong and was often defeated, he could not be destroyed. In the end, he destroyed the Later Liang and built the Later Tang Dynasty. The key lies in the strategic geographical advantage occupied by the Shatuo people. The real advance can be attacked and retreated can be defended. However, the Central Plains was not possible, and a partial army in 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.

It was too high-profile some time ago. There were already a long list of official positions on his head, and they were all top-level official positions. He was already on the top of a volcano, but he actually had neither many nor strong soldiers nor strong. Li Jing now needs to expand his strength and strengthen his army. Many officers in the town were already a little too confident and really thought that they could even be enemies with the world. But Li Jing knew very well that the prestige of the imperial emperor was still there, and the emperor could summon 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers with one edict. At that time, there were no allies, but all enemies.

"The same thing about the rank of the rank of the rank of Ziqing Town, and the wealthy families, and keep a Ziqing Town with nothing for Wang Jingwu and the others. Wang Jingwu, Xue Chong, and Li are not real allies. If we force each other hard, they will definitely unite to fight us. But if we just empty Ziqing Town and ignore them. I am sure that the three of them will inevitably have an internal fight in the end."

"Of course, we can take people away, but the soldiers must be kept." Jing Xiang walked to the sand table and sighed at the sand table. "We don't have to care about Qingzhou, Zibo and other important cities. I mean, we can control the troops and horses on the front line of Jishui. In this way, we can maintain a great deterrence against Zibo Town. Once needed, we can quickly pass through the Jishui route and occupy the entire four prefectures of Zibo."

"It's very good, and garrisoning troops on the Jishui line means that we have controlled the two sections of the Yellow River and Jishui water transportation, and at the same time protect our Yellow River and Jishui water transportation commercial routes."

"In addition to Dengzhou, Ziqing Town also has 26 counties in the four prefectures of Zibo, Qi, Qing and Lai. The governors of the four prefectures are all from Tian Lingzi, so we don't have to pay attention to him, but we can send all the 15 counties along the Jishui River to all the 15 counties along the Jishui River to station our troops in Niushan, Zibo, Changbai Mountain, and Qizhou Huashan. We can also station our troops in Niushan, Zibo, Changbai Mountain, and Qizhou Huashan. We can only guard these fifteen counties and three mountains, and the remaining eleven counties, including Qingzhou and other cities, are handed over to Wang Jingwu."

"Fifteen counties plus three mountains, each county is stationed with one thousand soldiers and horses, each mountain is stationed with three thousand soldiers and horses, plus a ranger. We stationed with 25,000 troops in Ziqing Town, and sent the town to [***] station."

Li Jing chuckled, "Add another county, and the coastal Ye County of Laizhou's capital is also ours. Sixteen counties and three mountains belong to us completely. The remaining ten counties can be handed over to Wang Jingwu. We both sides do not violate the river water, but will be governed by land. I believe that Wang Jingwu will be very happy after learning this news."

Li Zhen thought for a while, "If the Grand Marshal really made such a proposal, I believe Wang Jingwu would definitely agree. As long as we don't hit them, he will not agree immediately."

This plan is really good, at least it makes everyone feel much more comfortable than throwing it all to Wang Wujing. The Xiazhen [***] closely guards the counties on the front line of Jishui, and Ye County on the west coast of Dengzhou can control Ziqing Town, and there is no need to immediately conflict with Wang Jingwu and others. And perhaps to the eyes of others, Li Jing seems to be a little weak and bullied, but this is exactly what Li Jing wants others to see and think now.

"The other ten counties in Ziqing and the young and strong families forced to move away. Let's do this. The ten counties moved young and strong men and women to Liaodong together with their families. As for the sixteen counties we control, 300,000 people were moved to Liaodong." After thinking about it, Li Jing decided to move the people. Ziqing Town would have to fight sooner or later. Instead of letting these people stay here, or letting them provide Wang Jingwu with money, grain, taxes and men, it would be better to move them to Liaodong simply. Anyway, according to the established strategy, Ziqing Town will not rush to control the occupation within a few years, or even for a long time.

"I am afraid that Ziqing Town will really decline after moving 400,000 people."

"There will be an impact, but don't worry too much. We can continue to recruit refugees. Believe me, there will be more and more refugees in the future." Li Jing sighed.

Li Tang did not say that he could revive it by winning a few battles. Although the Shatuo tribe, Nanzhao and the thieves were defeated, it did not mean that Li Tang could revive it. The demise of the Tang Dynasty was only a necessity of history, and it was a burst of many contradictions. Wang Xianzhi was dead, and Huang Chao was also there. Li Jing knew that he would make a comeback.

In addition to Huang Chao, Li Jing's eyes were also staring at Youzhou on the map. He knew very well that the entire Youzhou had now become a powder barrel, and any spark that splashed would cause a violent explosion!
