Chapter 193 Laying out the World

Donghai County, also known as Tan County and Donghui County, was first established in the Qin Dynasty, and the county was governed 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 established.

In the third year of Daye, Haizhou was renamed Donghai County, which governed Qushan County and led five counties: Qushan, Donghai, Lianshui, Shuyang and Huairen, with a population of more than 27,000 households.

It is surrounded by mountains and seas, rich in products, adjacent to the Yellow Sea, and faces Goguryeo, Silla, and Japan across the sea. If Chu Tianxiu had captured this place earlier, then he would not have to go through Ryukyu. After many twists and turns, he could directly From here, attack Goguryeo and Pyongyang.

However, if Chu Tianxiu had changed the order, he would have been able to capture Donghai County, but he would not have had the 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, and Kuaiji County.

After Chu Tianxiu captured the East China Sea, his territory did expand, but his external situation also instantly became severe.

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

However, before Chu Tianxiu attacks Jiangdu, the major task of conquering cities and territories cannot be done, but some corners can still be done.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have inquired clearly. The Luoma Gang, the largest gang in Xiapi County, was attracted by Yang Gong's treasure house the day before yesterday. It is already a member of the Money League and is considered a natural ally of our army. However, the leader of the Luoma Gang is... He is a villain who is greedy for profit, but he must be careful."

Even though the location of Xiapi City is critical, it is just a key. Compared with Pengliang Hui, a Jianghu gang that ranks at the forefront of the Eight Gangs and Ten Hui, the existence of the Luoma Gang cannot be said to be insignificant, but it is. It can only be said to be the icing on the cake.

"Look, my lord, this lake is called Luoma Lake. It is at the intersection of rivers. It is not only rich in fish, but its lakeshore area has thousands of hectares of fertile land, which is the lifeblood of nearby villages and counties.

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

Xu Xingzhi's answer made Chu Tianxiu feel a little regretful, but at the same time, it calmed the greed in his heart, allowing him to remember his priorities and not attack Peng Cheng directly.

"It's a pity. Let's put Pengcheng aside first! By the way, I have already accepted the gifts I gave Xu Yuanlang last time? Just in time, in a few days, I will give him three times the gift. Let him attack Pengcheng with all his strength! In this way, after I take care of Jiangdu, not only Pengcheng and Liangjun, but also Dongping and Langya will fall into my hands."

Under the temptation of Yang Gongbaoku, I don’t know how many gangs, large and small, joined the Money League and directly became shareholders of the Money League. As for a regional gang like the Luoma Gang that only occupies a county seat, then Literally hundreds.

"Whatever! The Luoma Gang is a member of my Money Alliance, so naturally they can't escape the shackles of money. If he disobeys in the future, just change the gang leader! By the way, what's the news from the Pengliang Club? Pengliang Club's The boss, 'Ghost Claw' Nie Jing, are you willing to serve me?" Chu Tianxiu asked.

With the strength and ambition of the Yuwen clan, it was inevitable to raise troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and kill Yang Guang. But when he took action, it can only be said to be an accident.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

If he is unlucky, he may enjoy the treatment of Shi Zhixuan, and be surrounded and killed by the four holy monks who regard Buddhism as a trump card, and then he will not be able to cry.

As long as our navy can capture Xiapi County and control this lake, it will not only allow our army to control the gateway to Pengcheng and capture this city, but also take advantage of the trend to capture the four counties of Huairen, Langya, Lanling, and Liangcheng in the northwest of Donghai County.

As well as the three counties of Muyang, Lianshui and Huaiyang in the southwest, let our army take all the land in the Jianghuai River."

After Xu Xingzhi invaded Donghai County, he immediately collected all the pictures and books in Donghai County, understood the situation in Donghai County, and immediately sent generals to divide their troops to conquer Qushan, Donghai, Lianshui, Shuyang, and Huairen.

All the land of the county shall be taken from the East China Sea.

"Ren Meimei, the third boss of the Pengliang Society and the elder of the Money League, is very willing to do this based on the consideration of her family's overseas income. She wholeheartedly hopes that the Pengliang Society can join forces with my Money League and completely integrate into the Money League's system.

But Nie Jing, the leader of Pengliang Society, is hesitant about this, and he seems to be waiting for a price."

This gang has great power in Pengcheng and Liangjun. It is an out-and-out local snake. If Chu Tianxiu can get the help of this gang, then he can take over these two Central Plains without much effort.

of large counties.

In the original plot, Xiang Yushan, the good man who sent Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling to Yang Guang in Jiangdu, had been killed 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.

In the past, he could send out troops at will and attack wherever he wanted, but now, he must be extremely cautious, otherwise if he takes action rashly, he may be besieged from three sides, causing the huge foundation in his hands to be destroyed in an instant.

Once upon a time.

According to Daye's three-year census, Jiangdu County, the "Southern Capital" that is one of the world's economies, has a population of 110,000 households. It is already a relatively small city in the world. However, the population of Pengcheng County is sufficient.

There are 130,000 households, which is slightly larger than the population of Jiangdu.

Xu Xingzhi replied without thinking.

Nowadays, he is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and even the weakest Shen Faxing comes from a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Not only does he have three thousand private soldiers at home, but he is also very prestigious among the major wealthy families in Jiangnan. Almost as long as he raises his arms, he will be defeated.

You can capture more than ten states and counties south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Tianxiu stared at the map on the wall, nodded and said: "Yes, if this place exists, then the subsequent expansion of our army will be a hundred times easier. Military advisor, you can make bold moves as needed.

I can support you with unlimited human and financial resources."

After he repeatedly verified the intelligence information of the surrounding forces, he caused Chu Tianxiu to bleed a lot and spent a lot of money to win over Xu Yuanlang in Dongping, while he searched the nearby forces, large and small, and made a little bit of layout.

Plan for the world.

"Shanghao, Gui Xiliang is already in Wagang at this time and is on the line with the two of them. However, these two brothers have been ordered to kill by Li Mi. They are in too much trouble, so they dare not act rashly, so

Lord, you can enter with confidence." Xu Xingzhi replied.

The account book in the hands of Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling records the arms transaction between the Yuwen clan and the Dongming faction. It cannot change the situation, but it can help Chu Tianxiu lock in the time to attack Jiangdu.

After saying this, Chu Tianxiu suddenly remembered another thing and asked quickly:

"How is Xiliang doing now? Has he arrived at the Wagangzhai site and contacted those two gangsters Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling? Only with the two of them and the Dongming Sect's account books in their hands can we completely disrupt the situation.

Mobilize the Yuwen Valve to muddy the water in Jiangdu."

It's just that the distribution of these gangs is too scattered and scattered. Their location is not as important as the Luoma Gang. Most of them can only be used as casual chess pieces. Therefore, this is the first time for Chu Tianxiu to enjoy the experience from

Political dividends from the Money Alliance.

If nothing else, just from the most basic population data, you can know the importance of Pengcheng County.

Pengcheng County is adjacent to Weishan Lake to the north, Suzhou to the west, the East China Sea to the east, and Suqian to the south. Since ancient times, it has been the key to the North, the gateway to the South, a battleground for military strategists, and a gathering center for merchants. It has always been called the "Hometown of the Emperors".

The title of "Peng Zu's hometown, Liu Bang's hometown, Xiang Yu's hometown".

The Central Plains is no better than the Outer Sea. Nowadays, Nanyang and the Outer Sea are just some barbaric countries, but it is a blue ocean. No matter how big the battle is and how many tricks Chu Tianxiu makes, the forces in the Central Plains are still very powerful.

It is difficult to get involved, but if he makes any big noise in the Central Plains, he will instantly attract the attention of various aristocratic families, masters from the Buddhist and Taoist families, and the devils in the magic sect.

To put it bluntly, if he can capture the big city of Pengcheng, then Chu Tianxiu will have captured the essence of ancient Xuzhou, making him a first-class prince who can rival Li Mi and Du Fuwei even if he cannot capture Jiangdu.

.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved! Then, the only trouble our army currently has is to purchase horses and start to form a cavalry. That's good, I'm going to Pegasus Ranch to take a look and ask for advice.

There’s an old man here.”

As he spoke, Chu Tianxiu's eyes couldn't help but show hope. It was obvious that 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 it with him calmly, and the old man who can be said to be the smartest person in the world happens to be one of them.

Coincidentally, the old man was close friends with Xiang Yutian, the "evil emperor" of the time, and might be able to help him answer some of the problems that were troubling him.
