193 Layout of the world
Donghai County, also known as Tan County and Donghui County, was established in the Qin Dynasty, and the county government is in Tan County.

In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, all counties in the world were abolished and Haizhou was set up.

In the third year of Daye, Haizhou was changed to Donghai County, governing Qushan County, leading five counties of Qushan, Donghai, Lianshui, Shuyang, and Huairen, with a population of more than [-] households.

Here is surrounded by mountains and the sea, rich in products, adjacent to the Yellow Sea, and across the sea from Goguryeo, Silla, and Dongying. If Chu Tianxiu took this place earlier, then he would not need to use Ryukyu. After several twists and turns, he can go directly. From here, attack Goguryeo and Pyongyang.

However, if Chu Tianxiu had changed the order at the beginning, then he could have won the Donghai County, but he had no spare energy to send troops to Goguryeo to plunder and harvest it.

Langya County, Dongping County, Donglai County.

Danyang County, Jiangdu County, Liyang County.

Yuhang County, Wu County, Kuaiji County.

After Chu Tianxiu took over the East China Sea, his territory did expand, but his external situation also became severe in an instant.

To the north of him is the territory of Xu Yuanlang and Li Mi, to the west of him are Du Fuwei of Jianghuai and Yang Guang of Jiangdu, and to the south of him is Shen Faxing of Wujun.

The current him can be said to be attacked on three sides, and even the weakest Shen Faxing is from a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only does he have [-] private soldiers at home, but he is also very prestigious among the big families in the south of the Yangtze River. Almost as long as he raises his arms, More than ten states and counties south of the Yangtze River can be taken.

In the past, he could send troops at will and fight wherever he wanted, but now, he has to be extremely cautious, otherwise, if he makes a rash move, he may be besieged from three sides, causing the huge foundation in his hands to be instantly destroyed. at once.

The Central Plains is no better than the Outer Seas. Today’s South Seas and Outer Seas are just some wild countries, but it is a blue ocean. No matter how big Chu Tianxiu fights, no matter how many tricks he plays, the forces in the Central Plains are also very powerful. It's difficult to get involved, but if he makes any big noise in the Central Plains, it will instantly attract the attention of various aristocratic families, experts in Buddhism and Taoism, and demon heads in the magic sect.

One stone creates a thousand waves!
If he was unlucky, he might even enjoy Shi Zhixuan's treatment, and be besieged and killed by the four holy monks who were the bottom card of the Buddhist sect, then he wouldn't even be able to cry.

However, before Chu Tianxiu attacked Jiangdu, the big task of conquering the city and land could not be done, but some corners and corners could still be dealt with.

"Look, my lord, this lake is called Luoma Lake, and it is the confluence of rivers. Not only is it rich in fish, but the lakeside area is even more fertile. It is the lifeblood of the nearby counties.

As long as our navy can take Xiapi County and control the lake, not only will our army control the gates of Pengcheng, take this city, but also take advantage of the situation to capture the four counties of Huairen, Langya, Lanling, and Liangcheng in the northwest of Donghai County. And the three counties of Muyang, Lianshui, and Huaiyang in the southwest, let our army take all the land of the Jianghuai. "

Since Xu Xingzhi invaded Donghai County, he immediately collected all the pictures and books in Donghai County, learned about the situation in Donghai County, and immediately sent generals to divide troops to conquer Qushan, Donghai, Lianshui, Shuyang, and Huairen. The land of the county is all taken from the land of the East China Sea.

After repeatedly verifying the intelligence information of the surrounding forces, he caused Chu Tianxiu to bleed and spent a lot of money to win over Xu Yuanlang in Dongping. plot the world.

Chu Tianxiu stared at the map on the wall, nodded and said: "Yes, if there is this place, then the next expansion of our army will be a hundred times easier. Military advisor, next, you can make bold moves as much as you want. Human and financial resources, I can support without limit."

"My lord, don't worry, I've already found out. The largest gang in Xiapi County, the Luoma Gang, was attracted by Yang Gong's treasure house the day before yesterday. It is already a member of the Money League and a natural ally of our army. He is a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness, but he has to beware of one or two things."

Xu Xingzhi replied without thinking.

Under the temptation of Duke Yang's treasure house, I don't know how many gangs, large and small, joined the Money League and directly became shareholders of the Money League. As for the Luma Gang, a regional gang that only occupies a county seat, then There are literally hundreds of them.

It's just that the distribution of these gangs is too scattered and scattered, and their location is not as important as that of the llama gang. Because of the political dividends of the money alliance.

"Anything! The Luma Gang is a member of my money alliance, so naturally they can't escape the shackles of money. If he is not obedient in the future, just change the leader of the gang! By the way, what's the news from Peng Lianghui? Peng Liang will be there Nie Jing, the master 'Ghost Claw', is he willing to serve me?" Chu Tianxiu asked.

Even though the location of Xiapi City is crucial, it is only a key. Compared with the Pengliang Society, which ranks in the forefront of the Eight Gangs and Ten Associations, the existence of the Luoma Gang cannot be said to be insignificant, but It can only be said to be icing on the cake.

The name of Penglianghui is actually a combination of the names of Pengcheng and Liangjun.

This gang is very powerful in Pengcheng and Liang County, and they are the local local snakes. If Chu Tianxiu can get the help of this gang, then he can take down these two Central Plains without much effort. big county.

Pengcheng County relies on Weishan Lake in the north, Suzhou in the west, East China Sea in the east, and Suqian in the south. The title of "the hometown of Pengzu, the hometown of Liu Bang, and the capital of Xiang Yu".

To put it bluntly, if Chu Tianxiu can win the big city of Pengcheng, then Chu Tianxiu will win the essence of ancient Xuzhou, so that even if he can't win Jiangdu, he will become a first-class prince comparable to Li Mi and Du Fuwei .

Among other things, the importance of Pengcheng County can be known from the most basic population data.

According to the population statistics of Daye in the past three years, Jiangdu County, the "Southern Capital", one of the world's economies, has a population of 11 households, which is already a small big city in the world, but the population of Pengcheng County is fully 13 households, more than the population of Jiangdu.

"The third leader of the Pengliang Society, Ren Meimei, the elder of the Qianmeng League, is very willing to do this based on her family's income from overseas. She wholeheartedly hopes that the Pengliang Society can merge with me and the Qianmengmeng, and fully integrate into the system of the Qianmengmeng. But Nie Jing, the leader of the Pengliang Society, is hesitant about this, and he seems to be waiting for the price."

Xu Xingzhi's answer made Chu Tianxiu feel a little pity, but at the same time, it slightly stopped the greed in his heart, and made him remember the priorities so that he would not attack Pengcheng directly.

"It's a pity, let's let Pengcheng go first! By the way, I have already accepted the gift I gave Xu Yuanlang last time? Just in time, after a few days, I will give him three times the gift. Let him attack Pengcheng desperately! In this way, after I settle the matter of Jiangdu, not only Pengcheng and Liangjun, but also Dongping and Langya will fall into my hands."

Having said that, Chu Tianxiu suddenly remembered another matter, and asked quickly:
"How is Xiliang now? Has he arrived at Wagangzhai and contacted Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling? With the two of them and the account books of the Dongming faction in their hands, we can completely disrupt the situation." Mobilize the Yuwen Valve to muddy the water in Jiangdu."

With the strength and ambition of the Yuwen faction, it is inevitable to raise troops against the Sui Dynasty and kill Yang Guang.But when he did it, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

Kou Zhong, the book in Xu Ziling's hand recorded the arms trade between the Yuwen faction and the Dongming faction. It can't change the situation, but it can help Chu Tianxiu lock the time to attack Jiangdu.

In the original plot, the good man Xiang Yushan who sent Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to Yang Guang in Jiangdu had already been slaughtered by Chu Tianxiu, so he had to spend some effort and take the initiative to help a group of people. The two of them were sent to Jiangdu.

"It's good, Gui Xiliang is already in Wagang at this time, and he has connected with the two of them, but the two brothers have been ordered to kill by Li Mi, and they are in too much trouble, so they dare not act rashly, so Lord, you can rest assured." Xu Xingzhi replied.

"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved! Then, the only problem that our army currently has is buying horses and starting to form a cavalry. That's okay, I just want to go to the Pegasus Ranch to have a look. An old man."

While speaking, Chu Tianxiu's eyes couldn't help showing hope. Obviously, he had great hopes and expectations for the next meeting.

In this world, there are very few people who are qualified to discuss martial arts with him, and even fewer warriors who can discuss with him calmly, and that old man who can be said to be the most intelligent person in the world happens to be one of them.

Coincidentally, the old man was close friends with the "evil emperor" Xiang Yutian, and he might be able to help him answer some difficult questions that troubled him.
