(Thanks to Ye Dudu for his support, dizzy and happy. Muzi had a severe stomachache today, so he got up to write in the afternoon, so he might only be able to update another chapter today.)

The rising sun rose from the east, and a red sun jumped from the sea and gradually rose. The golden sun spread across the plains to the east through the morning glow, climbing up the Great Wall of the Great Dragon winding high among the mountains and ridges, illuminating the streets and alleys of Guancheng, Li Jing had already come down from the Great Wall and had already sat in the hall of the temporary camp of the military capital.

At present, he has processed several more important documents and signed the memorials approved by the cabinet. He stood in front of the geographical map of Qinjin Mountain and River on the wooden frame by the wall with his frown. In the morning of June, the sunlight that had not yet burst out powerfully came in through the window frame, dragging out long columns of light from the house, and fine dust danced up and down in the columns of light, floating. Because he was too stunning, he stood still for a long time, looking like a statue bathed in light and shadow.

He was nervously thinking about the things in the west.

Although Zhang Zimian volunteered this time and had already issued a military order to lead troops to the west. It is undeniable that Zhang Zimian was indeed a very knowledgeable general, but Li Jing was worried that Zhang Zimian came in a new place. Even if he had killed Wang Xianzhi and defeated Huang Chao and other dazzling achievements, those were the past when he led troops from the court. Moreover, before coming, Zhang Zimian was defeated by Huang Chao in Tongguan and almost wiped out the entire army. Now he surrendered to him as the county duke, and this time he served as the marshal of the Western Expedition with the position of county duke, leading Yang Shihou, Gao Siji, Li Cunxiao and other marquises to fight. He worried that Zhang Zimian could not command the command to attack the Western generals. No matter how powerful a marshal was, if he could not get the support of the generals, he would not be able to win the battle.

Li Jing did not expect that he would not transfer Li Cunxiao and other disciples under Zhang Zimian. But this time he drew 30,000 out of the 100,000 troops from the two sides of the Taihang Mountains to Zhang Zimian. Another 20,000 troops were drawn, which made the base camp in Hebei empty. If Zhang Zimian could not win, what would it be if he cut off his head? What Li Jing needed was victory. He seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Li Siyuan came to attack this time and stabbed Li Ke hard.

This is often the case with war. If you appear in front of you, you have to catch him. If you don’t catch him, you may let others catch him.

To show trust, Li Jing did not send a military supervisor to Zhang Zimian this time, and he did not even send a teaching envoy. Everything was dominated by Zhang Zimian, giving him 100% trust. The general led his troops outside, and the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. Li Jing himself was also a soldier, and it was impossible for him to bind him outside the battlefield.

Li Jing understood that the situation Zhang Zimian faced was very serious this time. With 30,000 combat soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers entering Datong, they had to face 100,000 Hu robbers and tens of thousands of Shatuo troops to the south. Even Li Siyuan from Datong Town may not be completely trustworthy now, at least his subordinates are not completely trustworthy.

In a relatively strict sense, Zhang Zimian's enemies include not only Hu people, but also Shatu people, including Shatu people under Li Siyuan.

However, Li Jing did not transfer more troops to Zhang Zimian. This time he handed over 50,000 troops to a former imperial general who had just come to surrender. This was also a great risky decision. Now there are only 70,000 people left in the entire Hebei region, and he had to guard Yanjing, Junduguan, Shanhaiguan, Lulongsai, Great Wall, as well as Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou and other places, and defend the Khitans in the north and the Chengde army and Wei Bo army in the south at any time.

All Li Jing could do was to instruct Guo Chongtao's army and Lin Wei's army to approach the northern part of Yinshan to create some pressure on the Hu tribes. In addition, Li Jing personally moved the troops to the garrison, called inspection, in order to make the worst preparations. If the battle was not good for himself, Li Jing would have to take his guards and Yanjing guards out of the pass to reinforce.

As June begins, Zhang Zimian has been sending troops for many days.

Zhang Zimian sent back the report, saying that he had discussed with Li Siyuan. In order to prevent Li Siyuan from fighting with the Shatuo people, his subordinates suddenly turned against each other. They decided to let Li Siyuan lead his 20,000 Shatuo soldiers and 50,000 Shatuo auxiliary soldiers to gather, and then move to the north of Yunzhou to guard the Qinglu Road Niupi Pass, the road that the Hu people must pass south. After Zhang Zimian left behind 10,000 war soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to station in Yunzhou, he had led 20,000 war soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to Shuozhou.

The Military Intelligence Bureau and the CIA also reported that Li Keyong was still in Hezhong Town, and his 50,000 combat soldiers and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers were all staying in Hezhong Town, and he was about to cross the river with the Hezhong Allied Forces to attack the puppet Qi troops in Henan. Li Jing was very confused about this situation. At the moment, Li Keyong's backyard caught fire. He did not rush back to rescue his hometown, but he still wanted to go south to attack the puppet Qi. Where did this calmness come from?

Is Li Keyong really unable to help but be restrained by Zheng Cong-sei and other Hedong generals, or is it that Li Keyong actually had other arrangements long ago, so he was confident and didn't worry at all.

The question now is, what exactly is Li Keyong's follow-up trick? What does Li Keyong plan to do this time? Could it be that Li Keyong has really planned to give up Datong Town, and Yanmen Town, if he doesn't come back, Yanmen may be out of protection.

His eyes stayed above the map for a long time, where there were rolling mountains and rivers, large blank areas, with only a few rivers, mountains and rivers and a few place names. In the clouds, Wuzhou, Jingbian, Baidengshan, Niupi Pass, Qing ramp, Huanghuadui, La River Valley, Mayi, Shanyang, Shuozhou, Xincheng, Loufan Pass, Yanmen Pass, Juzhu Mountain, Shenwuchuan, and Sanggan River.

For Li Jing, he is not unfamiliar with Yunzhou and Shuozhou, and even Yanmen Daizhou Xinzhou. It is better than Yanmen Pass and has always been a place controlled by the Central Plains forces. However, Yunshuo outside Yanmen is already outside the border. Even though it has always been the territory of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there are more Hu people here than Han people, with Han and Hu living together, and the people are strong. Moreover, since the Qin army once implemented a strategy of forced relocation to these border areas here, the border residents in these places did not have a good impression of the Qin army, and Li Jing's army did not receive much support in this area.

The Yunshuo Prefectures in Datong are vast and sparsely populated, with dangerous mountains and rivers and difficult supply. Tens of thousands of people were thrown into it, just like stones thrown into the sea.

On the contrary, Li Keyong has great prestige in this area. Shatuo moved to the Tang Dynasty for decades and has lived outside Yanmen Pass. He manages tribes on behalf of the court. Many tribes only know that the Shatuo Zhuye family is actually the territory of the Li Tang. Li Keyong can rise and fall, but not fall, to a large extent, because of the support they received in Daibei. Every time he falls, he can always recover here. Li Keyong has a very good attitude in fighting, has a fierce vision, is brave and dares to fight, and dares to take risks. Cooperating with these tough Hu people in Daibei, they are born warriors, so he can always bring up a strong team.

He tilted his lips and lowered his eyes, his black pupils flashed with a wise light behind his eyelids.

He suddenly remembered an earlier conversation with Whitebeard.

One day, he went to Tianjin for inspection. After handling official duties, he had some spare time and went to meet a group of retired pirates who had been relocated to Tianjin with the Navy Headquarters. These old pirates had long since not boarded the boat. They all had the titles of naval consultant, lecturer or assistant teacher in the Navy School. With a fixed salary, they lived a very relaxed life. When Li Jing chatted with him, he talked about Li Keyong and the Shatuo people in Daibei. Bai Beard thought at the time that Li Keyong was the reason why Li Keyong was

The biggest reason for the fact that he always rises again after every defeat is the problem of Daibei. The Li family has been deeply rooted in Daibei for more than 60 years. Moreover, there are many Hus in Daibei, and the people are tough and difficult to control. They have always admired the strong. Li Keyong's brave performance just convinced many border people. However, the court had no prestige in Daibei. Therefore, even if Li Keyong was defeated, the border people in Daibei were always willing to follow him. Even the powerful Qin army could not gain a foothold in this area.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Li Keyong, the key is to pacify the border residents of Daibei. Daibei is Li Keyong's root. If the Daibei root is gone, Li Keyong will not be afraid.

He couldn't help but look at the old pirate with admiration. Unexpectedly, he could see the situation in Daibei, which was thousands of miles away, so clearly. He once asked Baibei how to come to this conclusion, but Baibei laughed and told him proudly that these were not what he thought of. It was just that when he was an honorary professor in the Navy School, he accidentally saw it from a student's Shicai class. At that time, he thought the student said something reasonable, so he wrote it down.

"What's the name of that student?" Li Jing asked at the time, but Baibei didn't remember it at all. Afterwards, Li Jing sent someone to search and finally found that it was asked by a navy student named Ang Lee. Li Jing personally met the young student and asked him a lot of questions. He was very satisfied with him. Finally, he was sent to the Yanjing Martial Arts Hall Staff College for further studies.

He remembered that when he met Ang Lee, a distant nephew of his family, he asked him that since he proposed to deal with Li Keyong, he had to start with Daibei first, and how to start the specific thing, Li Ang, who was still childish, said coldly on his face: "One word can be solved, kill! As long as all these tough border residents who refused to surrender, Li Keyong is a tree without roots. If the king does not bother, he can also solve it in two words and move it. All the Hu and Han people in the North of Daibei will be moved away, just like the king who dealt with the Goguryeo, they will be dispersed and moved to the mainland and resettled the prefectures and counties."

Of course, the specific one cannot be solved in just one word or two. Ang Lee talked to Li Jing for a long time and put forward many practical plans. In fact, what satisfied Li Jing the most was to move the border residents of Daibei and then place the refugees who entered the Qin vassal to Daibei. At the same time, the Great Wall on the border between Qibei and the grasslands was built, and the beacon towers and military fortresses were rebuilt. Of course, several cement avenues were also needed to build to connect the entire Daibei. The Great Wall, cement trunk roads, military forts, beacon towers, and cities formed a close network, just like a spider weaving a web. The local garrisons were usually stationed in the Great Wall and various military cities. Once there were police and the beacons were passed down, the patrol troops retreated into the fortress, and the troops stationed in important towns quickly led to various defenses along the main road.

In his plan, immigrants can move the fierce border residents away, Chang'an can block the Hu people, warn the beacon fire, and the fortress garrisons, once there are police, the people can immediately withdraw into various cities and hide. With cement roads, not only can the troops reach the front line quickly, but the problem of food and grass transportation can also be solved.
