(Thanks to the Sanshanshui people for rewarding me. I summoned the next monthly ticket. Fourteen chapters have been updated in four days. The update is very powerful. I haven’t asked for tickets for a few days. Don’t forget to give tickets!)

Weiba Mountain City, Chengshan Mountain City, Goryeo City Mountain City, Baiyun Mountain City, two mountain cities with a circumference of five miles, two mountain cities with a circumference of six miles, plus five thousand military horses, Gao Bing, the envoy of Goguryeo Jili City, arrived the next day, and agreed without bargaining at all to Li Jing's request.

Moreover, on the same day, he sent five thousand war horses to Weiba Mountain City. Next, the three soldiers of Chengshan Mountain City, Goryeo City Mountain City and Baiyun Mountain City were withdrawn on the same day and handed over to the Zhendong Army. After Li Jing divided the troops to take over the three cities, he released Gao Zhaokang and the three thousand soldiers of Goguryeo City from Weiba Mountain City the next day.

Li Jing did not expect that the Goguryeo would agree to the conditions he proposed so happily. Although the five thousand troops were expensive, the four mountain cities were nothing compared to the current four mountain cities. Although the other three mountain cities were not as dangerous as Weiba Mountain City, they were all very easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they attacked strongly, Li Jing thought that 20,000 soldiers and horses could be attacked one by one, but they would definitely have to pay a considerable price. Now the Goguryeo handed over three mountain cities so happily, which made Li Jing really surprised.

After obtaining these four mountain cities, the east side of Jili Mountain City was completely exposed in front of the horse hooves of Zhendong Army. The area around the Biliu River was controlled by the Tang army.

The Goguryeo people were willing to hand over four mountain cities, and it was definitely not just that Gao Zhaokang, which means they encountered a threat that was more powerful than Li Jing. If they had not encountered a more powerful threat, the Goguryeo people would never give up the eastern gate of Jili City to Li Jing. If they lost these four mountain cities, if Li Jing went back on his word and did not keep his promise, they would be able to get under Jili City at any time.

"The Khitan Lianla tribe and the Yelu family of Diela tribe have just captured the Longtan Mountain City 60 miles north of Jili City. Now the troops are directed directly to Jili City." Li Wei, the ten generals of the Feiying Camp who was responsible for inquiring about information, rushed to Weiba Mountain City and reported loudly to Li Jing.

"No wonder!" Li Jing chuckled, "The Goguryeo people don't want to fight on both sides, and they think the Khitans are more threatening than us."

"This is a good opportunity. Now the Goguryeo people are working hard to deal with the Khitans. Why don't we stab the Goguryeo people hard in the back and take down Jili City directly?" Qin Zongshou can be said to have a complete fall with the Goguryeo people, so he is even more anxious to take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

"Not appropriate!" Li Jing smiled, glanced at the generals, but saw that Liu Xun seemed to be thinking, so he waved to him: "Bohu. Tell me, why did I agree to Goguryeo's request for peace at this time, instead of taking the opportunity to attack the Goguryeo people?"

Liu Xun took the first two steps, clasped his fists at Li Jing, and said calmly: "I thought that the reason why the county duke did not take any harm at this time was to avoid the disadvantages of the Khitans. This should be the strategic layout that the county duke often talked about. For strategic layout, sometimes some tactical opportunities have to be missed."

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "Continue, make it clear."

"Monk Duke, I thought that our strategic purpose of entering Liaodong this time was to regain Liaodong. Regaining Liaodong was taken as three steps. The first step was to integrate the Tang forces in southern Liaoning. To achieve this step, the deterrent power of the Dongjun of Guangzhen was not enough, and external forces were needed. Since we seized Qingni and Beisha, the Tang forces in southern Liaoning were sandwiched between our Dongjun of Zhen and the Liaozhong occupied by the Goguryeo people. The Duke of County did not rush to advance to southern Liaoning before, but chose the Goguryeo people to fight against the Khitans and looted the South of Liaoning and then sent troops. I thought that this was the right time. The Tang forces in southern Liaoning were oppressed and threatened by the Goguryeo people, and at this time we entered southern Liaoning. Finally, the Tang forces in southern Liaoning could only turn to our Dongjun of Zhendong under the pacification strategy of the arrogant Goguryeo and the Duke of County."

"Well, what about the second and third steps?" Li Jing looked at Liu Xun with admiration. The first step Liu Xun said about regaining Liaodong was exactly what Li Jing thought and did now. Such a strategic level problem. Many senior generals of the Zhendong Army had not yet figured it out. Liu Xun is now just serving as his guard commander. He actually thought of it so far. This made Li Jing amazed. It was indeed Liu Xun, who was known as the No. wise general of the Five Dynasties in history, and was known as one step and a hundred steps. It was gold, and it would shine everywhere.

With the encouragement of Li Jing, Liu Xun, who was only fifteen years old at this time, was also very excited. His face was slightly blushed and his face was excited. "Xun thought that integrating Liaodong was the main goal of entering Liaoning this time. The second step should be to weaken the Goguryeo people, and the third step is to curb the growth of the Khitans in Liaodong. These two steps should be one. Before we can fully integrate Liaonan, it is not suitable to completely defeat the Goguryeo people, but to gradually weaken them."

"Isn't it better to kill the Goguryeo people directly? Why should I keep it? It's too troublesome!" Qin Zongshou was confused when he heard this, not knowing that since he could kill the Goguryeo people in Jilizhou, he still had to keep it.

Liu Xun explained: "If we send troops to fight the Goguryeo people in Jili Prefecture, we can certainly defeat them, but we will definitely have to pay a lot of money. The most important thing is that the Khitans are now infiltrating Liaodong and with Goguryeo people there, they can resist the Khitans' eastward and southward for us. In this way, we can integrate Liaonan with all our might. Only after consolidating Liaonan can we go north with all our might. Therefore, let the Goguryeo people resist the Khitans for us. The Goguryeo people fight against the Khitans, and the result will be that the two tigers will fight and both lose. The strength of the Goguryeo people will be weakened by the Khitans, and the Khitans will be curbed by the Goguryeo people. When we have cleaned up Liaonan and headed north, we will be much more relaxed when we deal with the Goguryeo people and the Khitans."

Li Jing clapped his hands with a smile and expressed his appreciation for Liu Xun's words. The wisdom of the young general Liu Xun is indeed unusual. With just a few steps of Li Jing's actions, he has basically guessed Li Jing's strategic plan to enter Liao.

"Bo Hu's words are very good, which is exactly my original intention. Do you understand now? War is not only about brute force, but also about wisdom. Although our army in Zhendong is strong, Liaodong has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, and it is not so easy to recover. We have to find a starting point and find the most appropriate opportunity. At present, the dispute between the Goguryeo and the Khitans is an excellent opportunity. Goguryeo was originally a dog from the Bohai Kingdom. Now Bohai Kingdom is playing with weakness and losing control of the Goguryeo in Liaodong, and this dog has become a fierce wild dog. The Khitans are the wolf from the grassland. Now they are only a few lonely wolves, but the wolves behind will come sooner or later. Now, we must take advantage of the fierce battle between the Goguryeo and the Khitan wolf. First integrate and pacify Liaonan. Then, let's talk about going north."

If it weren't for the Khitans and Goguryeo people's war, and if Li Jing wanted to march into southern Liaoning, the Goguryeo people would definitely have come out to intervene. Without strong external pressure, the Tang forces in southern Liaoning would definitely not easily surrender to Li Jing.

This is the node. This is what Li Jing said.

"Then we are so cheaper than Goguryeo?" Qin Zongshou said with some displeasure. He finally put down Gao Zhaokang, but Li Jing let him go again.

"Of course it won't be so cheap." Li Jing spread out the map of Liaodong and pointed to the map where Jilizhou is located. "Now we have occupied all four mountain cities in the east of Jilizhou. For the Goguryeo people, our troops have directly threatened within a hundred miles east of Jili City. We can send troops to Jili City at any time. Therefore, before we take the initiative to deal with them, they now have no courage to deal with us again. Now, we must take advantage of the Goguryeo people's efforts to deal with the Khitans and integrate all the Tang people's territory south of Jili City."

“How to integrate?”

"Duli Town and Qingni City, Beisha City are the same as before. The southern Liaoning divisions were placed under the Liaoning Governor's Office, and five more counties were established outside the existing three counties. In addition, the dangerous mountain cities and villages such as Weiba Mountain City, military towns, military garrisons, and military garrisons were established. The former leaders of the southern Liaoning divisions were awarded the positions of Andong Protectorate and Liaoning Governor's Office. In addition, the troops and horses of each unit will be reorganized, and the soldiers and horses of each unit will be reorganized into two wings. In addition, the soldiers and horses of each unit will be reorganized into nine battalions. The officers of the new wings will be appointed by the officers of the original wings."

Li Jing initially planned to organize five battalions in southern Liaoning. But he was worried that in this case, the various units in southern Liaoning would rebound sharply, so he finally gave them only two wings and ten battalions. The plan was to integrate these forces step by step. To integrate southern Liaoning into eight counties, then slowly plan them, and finally completely combine all the forces in southern Liaoning together.

Of course, besides integrating the southern Liao tribes, Li Jing did not intend to stop just like this. He had issued military orders to Qingni City, and immediately transferred Zhenhai and Nutao Second Naval Division to Liaodong. Zhendongying went to Weibashan City and Shirenzhu Port on the sea east of Shirenzhu Port. There were more than 50 islands of various sizes, including more than 20 inhabited islands, with an area of ​​more than 170 square kilometers and a width of 255,000 acres, which was not as close to the Daxi Islands in Dengzhou. Moreover, the archipelago is also located under the seaways from Dengzhou to Bohai, Silla, and Japan.

The Changshan Islands are now occupied by a Goguryeo force, with only a few thousand soldiers. In the past, Gaodexin, who has always been dependent on Jilizhou City. Because Weibashan City is very close to the coast, although Shirenzhu Port is closer to the Changshan Islands, he has never dared to touch the islands. Now Li Jing certainly does not intend to let go of this territory. Taking advantage of Jili City's indifference, although Li Jing does not intend to attack Jili City for the time being, he did not say that he would not attack his vassal forces.

Zhenhai Camp will join the two infantry battalions in Qingnicheng and go to the Changshan Islands, while Nutao Camp will join the two battalions from Dengzhou and go directly to Changxing Island west of Jili City.

Changxing Island is located on the sea west of Jili City. It is the largest island north of the Yangtze River and the seventh largest island in China. It covers an area of ​​more than 250 square kilometers, reaching an area of ​​nearly 400,000 mu. The island is 60 miles long from east to west and 22 miles wide from north to south. It has a coastline of 180 miles around the island and 22,500 mu of mudflats.

In addition, next to Changxing Island, there are five large islands, namely Exchange Island, Fengming Island, Xizhong Island, Luotuo Island and Pingdao. The area is equivalent to the Changshan Islands, with an area of ​​more than 170 square kilometers and more than 250,000 acres. In addition to Changxing Island, these six islands have an area of ​​650,000 acres.
