Chapter 233: Divide the territory
When the time entered the low of November, Lin Ziran learned that the war on the county side was completely over.
But there is no winner or loser.
Since the three major feudal towns of Luo'an joined forces to defeat the Luo Navy, Feng Haozhong and Li Dingjun joined forces to fight against Jian Minggang, and these three feudal towns have fought several battles with each other, and their losses are not small.
However, it failed to completely change the situation of the war, and until now the war has completely stopped, there is no armistice agreement, there is no negotiation, and the armies of the three sides have all stopped the war by accident.
As for the three parties, there must be some agreement in secret, but it is not known to outsiders.
After learning that the war on the county side had stopped, Lin Ziran was also quite nervous, he was worried that Feng Haozhong would turn around and go north, or the Jian family would send troops north.
You must know that some time ago, he has been expanding the army and strengthening the training of the troops, in order to prepare for the possible changes in the situation after the end of the war on the county side.
He's even planning to intervene while the county town is still fighting.
In order to train the troops, he was even lazy to expand his territory, but focused on letting the troops train, and at the same time, it was also to further stimulate those feudal towns.
If it weren't for the low-key and avoiding the backlash of Feng Haozhong and Jian Minggang, Lin Ziran would have sent troops to occupy Lingchang County, and several towns in the north of Lingchang County have always been empty.
But if Lin Ziran really occupied a few towns in the north of Lingchang County, it is estimated that both Feng Haozhong and Jian Minggang would have to send troops to fight him.
There are only nine counties in Luo'an County, and you Lin Ziran dare to occupy two counties with 10,000 recruits, how can you let each other fight each other to kill Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong, who support tens of thousands of troops!
So when they were still fighting, it was estimated that they would be fine, but as soon as the war ended and saw that Lin Ziran occupied the territory of the two counties, it was estimated that they would kill without hesitation.
And Lin Ziran will most likely not be able to hold it, with his current strength, it is already very difficult to defend a Lianguan County, and if the territory is expanded, it will not be able to hold it at all.
However, even if he couldn't bear to send troops to Lingchang County, but now Lin Ziran has occupied Lianguan County, and when the fighting on the county side stopped for a while, Lin Ziran saw Jian Liangzhi again.
Obviously, no one has ignored him anymore.
It's just that this time, Jian Liangzhi's attitude towards Lin Ziran has obviously changed.
Jian Liangzhi sat down and didn't say a few words, and said directly: "Lord Lin, my father is ready to officially appoint you as the county guard of Lianguan County, responsible for the defense of the northeast, and grant the number of the Sixth Division!" ”
What does the Jian family mean by not only acknowledging the established fact that he occupies Lianguan County, but also giving him another division number?
Lin Ziran actually didn't care if the county seat recognized him as the county guard of Lianguan County, anyway, Lianguan County was already his territory, he had already appointed himself the county guard of Lianguan County a month ago, and whether outsiders admitted it or not would not affect his control of Lianguan County at all.
And the number of the Sixth Division is actually not important at some times, but now at this moment, giving him the number of the Sixth Division, doesn't it mean that he Lin Ziran has been able to sit on an equal footing with Feng Haozhong and Li Dingjun?
After seeing the doubts in Lin Ziran's eyes, Jian Liangzhi took the initiative to answer: "This matter has not been announced for the time being, it is just an idea of my father, but if you don't object, Lord Lin, then this matter will be settled!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lin Ziran knew that this must be some secret agreement reached between Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong and began to divide the territory.
Lianguan County is the territory that he Lin Ziran can get!
Immediately, Lin Ziran said: "What about other places? ”
Everyone is a smart person, and as soon as Lin Ziran said other places, Jian Liangzhi knew that Lin Ziran was actually asking about the specific division of territory between their several feudal towns.
Jian Liangzhi immediately said: "Our Luo'an County is located in a strategic location, and has long faced the threat of several surrounding counties, and in the future, our Luo'an County will be divided into five major defense areas, namely the southern defense area, the county defense area, the northern defense area, the northeast defense area, and the northwest defense area. ”
"The southern defense area is in charge of General Li Dingjun, and the specific defense areas are Dingjiang County and Xihai County in the south."
"The northwest defense area is in charge of General Zhao Song, and the specific defense area is Yonggu County."
"The northern defense area is under the responsibility of General Feng, and the specific defense areas are Pingdan County and Lingchang County."
"The northeastern defense area is in charge of you, Lord Lin, and the specific defense area is Lianguan County."
"The county town and the three central counties are directly under the county guard."
When Lin Ziran heard this, he also thought of the division of each family's territory.
There are nine counties in Luo'an, plus a county seat directly under the county government.
It is worth noting that there is not only one Luo'an City in the county, but all the suburbs around Luo'an City belong to the county, with a total area of about 300 square kilometers.
Although the area of the county is small, it is the most elite area in the whole of Luoan County, with more than 50% of the factories in Luoan County, and the land is very fertile and the population is very dense.
The area of the three central counties is not large, with a total area of only 3,500 square kilometers, which is only 1,000 square kilometers larger than the 2,500 square kilometers of Lianguan County.
The total area of the three counties in the central part of the county is only 3,800 square kilometers, which is not as large as the two counties in Lianguan, but it accounts for 60 percent of the factories, more than 50 percent of the grain output, and more than 50 percent of the population of Luo'an County.
In other words, Jian Minggang wants to occupy the most elite area in the entire Luoan County.
The only problem is that these places are plains that can be killed by the enemy at any time.
The two southern counties occupied by Li Dingjun are ordinary, neither good nor bad, and these two counties are also divided by the Luo River, one on the west bank and one on the east bank.
The four northern counties include Lingchang County and Lianguan County on the east bank of the Luo River, Pingdan County and Yonggu County on the west bank of the Luo River.
Among them, the worst conditions in these four counties are naturally Lianguan County, where Lin Ziran temporarily lives, anyway, so far, this broken place has nothing but oil, the least arable land area, and the smallest population.
Yonggu County in the northwest region is now occupied by Zhao Song, this Yonggu County is similar to Lianguan County, both belong to the poor countryside, and now Lianguan County has been found by Lin Ziran for oil, and Yonggu County has nothing.
From the current point of view, Yonggu County has become the poorest place in the nine counties and one district of Luo'an County.
In the case of Pingdan County, although there is not much arable land, it is a large coal-producing county, and it is very rich, but the county is still occupied by the Guang'an people, even if it is under the jurisdiction of Feng Haozhong, but whether it can be taken back from the hands of the Guang'an people, it is unknown.
At present, Lingchang County, which Feng Haozhong occupies, is a good place, with a very large area, more than 3,000 square kilometers, spanning both sides of the Luo River, and the single round area is the largest county in Luo'an County, and its arable land area is large and quite a lot, especially the plain area on the west bank of the Luo River is a typical grain-producing area, which is not much lost to the three central counties.
The division of the five defense zones basically follows the actual control areas of the major feudal towns.
Jianminggang had a large number of troops and controlled the county town and the three central counties.
After Feng Haozhong went south, he was also entrenched in Lingchang County, and along the way, there were several dangerous passes in the southern part of Pingdan County.
Lin Ziran controls Lianguan County.
Zhao Song controls Yonggu County.
Li Dingjun controlled most of the two southern counties, and the reason why it is said to be a large part is because a part, especially the area near the Dingjiang fortress, was occupied by the Luohai people.
Regarding the division of the above-mentioned territory, Lin Ziran has no opinion, and he will occupy as much territory as he has strength.
Jian Liangzhi went back with Lin Ziran's promise, and it didn't take long for another passenger ship to arrive, this time the county guard officially came, and brought a letter of appointment appointing Lin Ziran to Lianguan County, and at the same time appointed Lin Ziran as the commander of the Sixth Division of the Luo'an Army, awarded the title of Zhongqing, and was fully responsible for the defense of Lianguan County.
What kind of county guard, the commander of the Zhongqing division is all false, and the point is that the territory of Lianguan County is his.
That is, now he has few troops and poor combat effectiveness, and he can barely occupy a Lianguan County.
In the future, when the strength is strong, Lin Ziran will definitely not be willing to be in a county
Whether it is Lingchang County in the south, Pingdan County in the west, or Nan'an County in Guang'an County in the north, they are all potential targets for Lin Ziran.
Lingchang County is a grain producing area, Nan'an County is also a grain producing area belonging to Pingchuan, and Pingdan County is a coal producing area.
It's a pity that Feng Haozhong is not easy to mess with, and Guang'an people are not easy to mess with.
In addition, he was also very curious, since Pingdan County was assigned to Feng Haozhong, but this Pingdan County was in the hands of Guang'an people, how did Feng Haozhong plan to solve it in the future?
It didn't take long for Feng Haozhong to give him the answer.
At the end of December, when the forty-ninth year of Xuanping was coming to an end, the war on the county side had completely ceased for more than half a month.
Old friend Jiang Xiaqing came to Sanyang Town again!
Jiang Xiaqing said: "My lord, the people of Guang'an took advantage of my Luo'an civil strife to go south to steal Pingdan County, and now that my Luo'an civil strife has been calmed, it is a good time to counterattack and go north!" ”
Lin Ziran said: "Counterattack Guang'an? If this official is not mistaken, Guang'an also has at least 20,000 troops stationed in Pingdan County, and there are also 20,000 horses in the area of Nan'an County in Guang'an, and there must be 40,000 soldiers and horses in Guang'an in the entire area south of the Chongguang defense line."
"Relying only on your family, even if you add my sixth division, I'm afraid it won't work!"
Jiang Xia Qing said: "Don't worry, my lord has already discussed with the county guard, and the county will also send a reinforcement to the north in the future, and Lord Zhao Song from Yonggu will also send troops to Pingdan County together." ”
"And Lord Lin, you only need to go north from Nanguang City and go straight to the outside of Chongguang City, you don't need your troops to attack Chongguang City, you only need to intercept the reinforcements of Guang'an!"
"The four of us join forces, and we will definitely be able to drive the Guang'an people back!"
Lin Ziran was very curious after hearing this, in the current situation, can the four families join forces?
The four families are almost dismantling each other, and Lin Ziran himself does not want to see Feng Haozhong occupy Pingdan County.
As for Jian Minggang and Zhao Song, if they were willing to see Feng Haozhong occupy Pingdan County, Lin Ziran would dare to offer both sides of Lianguan County's territory.
Now that Feng Haozhong occupies a Lingchang County, his strength is not weak, don't look at Lingchang County as just a county, but the area is large, the arable land is large, and the population is large.
If Feng Haozhong and Pingdan County, a major coal-producing county, are also taken, when the time comes, the strength of the two counties will be gathered, whether it is Lin Ziran or Zhao Song, they will have to worry about Feng Haozhong sending troops, and even Jian Minggang will probably have to worry every day.
But the next words of Jiang Xiaqing made him change his mind!
I only listened to Jiang Xiaqingdao: "My family said, it's not interesting for us to fight back and forth in Luo'an, no matter how much these counties are divided, it is not enough to divide them, and only by working together to make the territory bigger, so that it can be easily distributed." ”
"My lord has reached an agreement with Lord County Shou and Lord Zhao, and a number of joint troops will not stop at Chongguang City, we will capture Chongguang City and enter the hinterland of Guang'an, and then our third division will only need the hinterland of Guang'an north of Chongguang City!"
"South of Chongguang City, I will not see the men and horses of my third division again!"
As soon as Lin Ziran heard this, his interest came: "How do you say this?" ”
Jiang Xia Qingdao: "After our Luo'an army unites to the north and defeats the Guang'an people, our third division will continue to go north to control the defense area north of Chongguang City." ”
"The defense of Lingchang County will be transferred to the county guard, the defense of Pingdan County will be transferred to the Fifth Division, and the defense of Nan'an County, south of Chongguangcheng, will be transferred to the Sixth Division of your department."
After listening to Jiang Xiaqing's words, Lin Ziran pondered.
Feng Haozhong's proposal is a bit interesting!
