Jiang De stretched his waist, took out the dagger he was hiding by the way, put it into his boots without caring and said, "That's natural, okay, you started to say that you were unprepared and didn't want to see me, and now you are willing to see me, you must have something to say to me, right?" ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at the dagger in Jiang De's hand, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, but he liked it even more in his heart, so that a person who kills decisively can achieve a career.

Xu Guanzhong said to Jiang De, "I didn't know that Xiao Langjun had such a lofty ambition before, and now it seems that too many of my previous ideas are too simple, so I want to hear about Xiao Langjun's current situation first, how much strength does Xiao Langjun have in his hands?" ”

Jiang De pointed to the way and said, "Let's talk as you go, it's not much different from what you know...."

Then, Jiang De gave the whole picture of the current situation.

After listening to Jiang De's explanation of the current situation, Xu Guanzhong shook his head and asked, "I think who was the mastermind of Xiao Langjun before?" ”

Jiang De was stunned for a moment and said, "There is no mastermind... Why did Mr. Xu ask this? ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled at this time, "I see, the student is still thinking, if Xiao Langjun had a mastermind before, then Xiao Langjun should have repelled him as soon as possible!" Since Xiao Langjun has the ambition of Lingyun, then he should no longer stick to the business business.

For example, since Xiaolangjun has so many oil mills, wine shops and hotels, why is there no place to hoard grain and grass? All kinds of supplies are transported back and forth, why are there no loyal samurai? In addition, the equity of Huijin such as oil mills, wine shops, and restaurants is dispersed among many people, are these people willing to support Xiao Langjun in the future? Those who don't support it, do we have to plan ahead?

In addition, has Xiao Langjun thought about where to make a big move in the future? If this is the case, the Daimyo Mansion will have to be mastered as soon as possible. ”

Jiang De scratched his head a little ashamedly, to be honest, he really doesn't have too many good plans, of course, there are pros and cons to this matter, and his actions also make him really like a businessman who just wants to make money and wait for death, not like a careerist.

Jiang De shook his head at Xu Guanzhong and said, "This place is too close to the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is no natural danger to defend, but it faces the heavy troops in the north, and not far from the south is Kaifeng, which is second only to the elite Western Army, and it is the real place of the four wars. ”

Xu Guanzhong clapped his hands and said well, "Xiao Langjun's analysis of the whip into the inside, but it is so, in the past, Qin and Han got the danger of Guanzhong, the rich side of Bashu ruled the world, Liu Bei got Shu, Yan Han Zhongxing, Sima Nandu, Baoguo for a hundred years, the end of the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, Li Valve waited for the sky with Jin, and it was a big move, but in seven years, Kyushu was unified, which shows the importance of geographical advantages. ”

Jiang De asked, "Then Mr. Xu, if you want to make a big move in the future, where should you choose?" ”

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said, "The world is like chess, there is a saying in Go, and there are golden horns and silver edges in straw bales." The best place for the big move is the four corners of the place, which is Guanzhong in the northwest, Bashu in the southwest, Suning in the southeast, and Youyun in the northeast, but the sixteen states of Youyun are owned by the Liao State, and the northeast is the land of Qilu.

Let's talk about the northwest first, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong is gradually withering, do not see the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and from the beginning of the Renzong Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have been fighting for many years, the Great Song Dynasty elite soldiers and strong generals can be said to be seven or eight out of ten are in the northwest Guanzhong land, such as in the here to do things, there is the Western Xia, there is Bashu below, the left is the wilderness, the right is the Western Army, and it is not advisable to fall into the land of the four wars. ”

"Less money, fewer people, more enemies, and few friends is indeed inappropriate." Jiang De said in agreement.

"The land south of the Yangtze River is getting richer and richer since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and today's officials are building a lot of construction and flowers, and the people of Jiangnan are miserable, and the students think that even if we don't shoot, there will be chaos in Jiangnan within ten years, and there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River and the Huai River in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the land south of the Yangtze River is not the same for a hundred miles, and it is difficult to quickly rectify it for its own use, and since the beginning of the emperor, the king of Jinling has broken the royal spirit, and the royal spirit of the land is gathered but easy to disperse, so it can only be divided into one side, but it is difficult to dominate the world. XU GUANZHONG PASSED ANOTHER PLACE.

Jiang De heard Xu Guanzhong talk about the accent slang problem, but he felt very reasonable, even in later generations, if a northerner went to a small county town in the south to be a grassroots official, he would also be played to death by the southern dialect, many old farmers even in the 21st century are not very good at speaking Mandarin, let alone the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, you can imagine that there is an uprising in the south, you say to the people that we will revolt together to overthrow the emperor, and the people below will listen to the scene of us going to eat yellow croaker together....

Of course, the Song Dynasty also had Mandarin, which is the so-called official dialect, but most of this official dialect will be learned only if they have a certain status, very simply, those farmers who have stayed in the countryside all their lives and may not even go to the county seat, what do they do to learn Mandarin?

Jiang De asked Xu Guanzhong, "Since this is the case, then Bashu doesn't think about it?" ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "The country of Bashu Tianfu, but Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky... It's hard to get in, and it's hard to get out. ”

Jiang De snorted, Liu Bei had already set a good example for him in the past, and except for Liu Bang, it was true that no force had conquered the world from Bashu, not to mention that even Liu Bang had the capital to compete for the world after winning Guanzhong. There is a saying in later generations, called the world is not chaotic Shu first chaos, the world has been governed by Shu after the rule, it is said that the status of Bashu in the world, the easiest to separate, but it is difficult to expand Shu Dao to isolate the war outside, but also to isolate the expansion of Shu to the outside world.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, three of the four places have been removed by Mr., only the northeast is left, so where should Mr. Xu's base be chosen?" Jiang De asked.

When Xu Guanzhong heard the word base area, he couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Base area, but this word is too appropriate, that is, base area, students think that a base area should have several conditions, one is that there are dangers to defend, the second is rich in money and food, the third is that the people are prosperous, and the fourth is that the enemy is weak and I am strong, but where it is, we still need to consider one or two more things." ”

Jiang De didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "I have a place in my heart, what do you think?" There are 800 miles of water here, countless fish and food, but tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and civilians are in the water, and there is the convenience of the canal, the danger of the Yellow River, what do you think? ”

Xu Guanzhong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "But the eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan? ”

Jiang De high-fived and said, "This is it!" ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "This is a good place, I have been here, there are no soldiers and horses on the mountain, and there are a lot of fish and rice around, such as the soldiers and horses are placed here, once the big move, you can first Keqing, Qi, Lai, Deng, the state capitals, because the official family is strong and weak, these places are not much forbidden army, most of them are the Xiang army, and there is not too strong combat power, and then go south to Xuzhou, you can get the danger of the Huai River, at that time our army has the Yellow River in the north, the river in the south, and the sea in the east, we only need to go west to enter the Central Plains, it will become the trend of Cao Wei in the past, and then retreat can become the work of Qi Huan, It is really wonderful to enter the business of becoming a king. ”
