Kai Fu Han

Chapter 387
Liu Xinqi stood in front of the map on the wall of his office, looking at the map in front of him and lost in thought.

There are three maps in total on the wall.

One is a map of the Kyushu continent including Southern Zhao, Jin Kingdom, Xixia and Western Liao, Mongolia, Tubo, Dali and Goryeo with simple outlines.

The other is a detailed map of North China including Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Jingdong, Jingxi, Hedong, Hebei and Jingzhao.

The last one is a detailed map that only includes Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road.

In front of where Liu Xinqi was standing was the third map.

According to the previous strategic plan, the Xinghan League would not develop into the North China Plain west of the Jiaoshui River until it was unable to resist the power of the Jin Kingdom to avoid becoming a shield for Southern Zhao.

Support the rebels to attract Jin's attention; build a glue defense line and place three of the four field regiments on the defense line.All for this strategic planning service.

But looking at the current situation:
First of all, the success rate of the strategy of making a fortune in silence has become lower. Now the Xinghan Alliance must have attracted great attention from the Jin Dynasty court.

Secondly, staying in Denglai has affected the development speed of Xinghan League.

This impact includes various aspects, such as: Denglai’s basic resources are not rich enough and most of them need to be imported; the increase in labor force population can only rely on plundering and buying slaves; the territory is too small, resulting in insufficient depth; the basic population is weak, resulting in insufficient reserve soldiers, etc. wait.

If you go out to the west and strive for development space, you are likely to face the main force of the Jin Kingdom.But without getting the glue out and striving for time for stable development, we cannot completely avoid facing the main force of the Jin Kingdom.

The two development directions make it difficult for Liu Xinqi to choose.

Looking at the map in front of me: the Yellow River that was diverted into the Huaihe River followed Bianjing, passed through Yingtianfu and Shanzhou, entered Xuzhou, entered Sishui, passed through the Huaiyang Army, and finally entered the Yellow Sea from Huainan East Road.

Looking north along Kaifeng Mansion, Liang Shanbo branches off the Jishui River, passes through Yunzhou, enters Qizhou, passes through Zizhou, and enters the sea from the north of Qingzhou.

These two rivers just frame most of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road. Counting the Bohai Sea to the north of the Shandong Peninsula and the Yellow Sea to the south, they form a pattern surrounded by water.

Liu Xinqi turned his attention back to the map of the North China Plain in the middle of the wall, looking at the Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road areas separated by Jishui and the Yellow River.It is located just north of Lianghuai Road.

If the Jin Kingdom wanted to go south to attack the Southern Zhao court, the East Route Army must pass through Jingdong East Road.

In other words, the western half of this area surrounded by water is the only way for the Jin army to go south to attack Zhao.

"Occupying this area, we can rely on Jishui to defend the Jin Kingdom, and rely on the Yellow River to defend Southern Zhao." Liu Xinqi said to himself.

This is the advantage.

"However, to occupy this area, we must first destroy the puppet Qi, and then we will form a never-ending situation with the Jin Kingdom."

This is a disadvantage.

"so hard!!"

Liu Xinqi scratched his head. The strategy, which was close to eight times that of ordinary people, only increased the computing speed of the brain, but for this kind of strategic planning and route selection determined by IQ, it was still a headache.

[It would be great if there was a counselor like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child who could help me. 】Liu Xinqi muttered in his heart, and began to search in his mind whether there were such resourceful talents in the Xinghan League.

After thinking about it, I found that the management of Xinghan League are actually average-level smart people, and there are no particularly evil ones.

Liu Xinqi knew that if he chose to go west to get glue, the wheel of history would be pulled astray by him, and his information (prophet) advantage would be gone.

With the Xinghan Alliance standing in front of Zhao, it also has a chance to breathe. The embarrassing situation of the emperor being chased up the mountains and into the sea should not happen again, and the national power will be retained more.

"Come on!"

The guard on duty came through the door.

"Inform all ministers and regimental leaders to hold a meeting at the League Headquarters on September [-]th." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Including the commanders of the first to third field regiments?" the guard asked.

"Yes, let them rush back to Penglai before September [-]th." Liu Xinqi replied.

These high-ranking generals are all warriors and can support them in riding horses throughout the whole journey without changing horses or people. They are enough to rush back to Penglai from any place in Denglai within four days.

Time passed very quickly. In addition to participating in the final research on the steam engine at the research institute these four days, Liu Xinqi spent his free time thinking about the future development route.

The evening of September [-]th.

Sun Liye, who was located at the station of the Third Field Regiment in Jiaozhou Bay, rushed back in time and entered the conference room covered with dust to attend the meeting. .

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start now."

Liu Xinqi got straight to the point and started talking about the main topic of today's meeting.

First, I will tell the senior officials here about my two plans for the development of the Han League in the three years of Jingyan.

The first is to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.In the first half of the year, the Jin army suffered a setback in Zhao State, and was defeated by the Xinghan League and the United Rebel Army in Cangzhou and Liaodong Peninsula. The loss of troops and the loss of troops, plus the two previous victories of the Xinghan League against the puppet Qi organization's encirclement and suppression forces, currently north of the Yellow River, Jihe Adding the Shandong Peninsula area to the south, it can be said that the military strength is empty.After the training of the [-] recruits recruited this time is completed, the Xinghan League can take advantage of the situation and go west to break through Jinan, the capital of the Puppet Qi, occupy the area north of the Yellow River and south of the Ji River, and then rely on the Yellow River and Jishui to defend the remnants of the Puppet Qi and Jinan. country’s counterattack.

The second is to play it safe and steady.Based on Denglai, we will continue to accumulate strength, develop industry, agriculture, and commerce, and absorb the labor force from the Liaodong Peninsula, Korea, and Japan. We will use one year to completely absorb the two states of Denglai.In terms of military affairs, the number of garrison troops and infantry will be maintained at 9000, and the field strength will be expanded to 3 before moving westward to glue.

"Both development plans have advantages and disadvantages. The former is too radical, but the expected benefits are larger. The latter is more stable, but the development speed is slower." Liu Xinqi concluded: "Anyone who has any questions can ask now."

I saw Xu Zhong, the chief officer of Diting, standing up:
"Reporting to the leader, according to the latest intelligence, the Jin Dynasty court asked the Puppet Qi to move the capital to Damingfu. It is expected that the move will be completed before the end of this year. Damingfu is located in the south of Hebei East Road and west of Jishui. If you follow your plan A development plan, after three months of training for new recruits, and after being integrated into the army, it is estimated that the puppet Qi capital is no longer within the attack area."

"It's really that the plan can't keep up with the changes!" Liu Xinqi sighed.

If the glue coming out of the west cannot defeat the puppet capital of Qi, the results of the victory will be greatly reduced, and the value of the development plan of "pursuing victory" will also become much smaller.

"I'm calling you back this time because I can't make up my mind about which of the two development plans to choose, so I plan to let everyone vote. The plan with the most votes will become our development goal for next year. ." Liu Xinqi explained: "So please brainstorm, fully discuss these two plans first, check for any gaps and fill them, and then we will vote."
