"There is no cotton in China, cotton flowers can be introduced, and cotton clothes are used for winter; The yield of corn in China is low, and the introduction of corn and sweet potatoes can double the yield of corn, and the number of people can be doubled; There are no good horses in China, but good horses from the West can be introduced, and this horse can be cultivated in the field, can be fought in the field, and the sharp weapon of the country is also ......"

Liu Xiu talked about the world, pretending to be forced to his heart's content.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment when they listened, and they didn't understand it at all.

But it is precisely because they don't understand it, but they are full of interest, just like in later generations, many people can't understand the theory of relativity, but because they can't understand it, they feel that the theory of relativity is very awesome.

These remarks, if they arrived in the Ming and Qing dynasties, would be a fallacy to confuse the public; But today, Confucianism is in decline, metaphysics is prevalent, but there is a market.

Looking at everyone present, all of them looked dazed, Liu Xiu felt that it was almost over, and then continued to pretend to be forced, but to talk about actual things.

"The world is like a chessboard, which can be divided into four corners and four sides!"

As soon as Liu Xiu opened his mouth, he calmed everyone, and no one has ever compared the world to a chessboard.

"Guanzhong, Hebei, Jianghuai and Bashu are its four corners, Hedong, Shandong, Jingxiang and Hanzhong are its four sides, and Luoyang is Tianyuan. At the beginning of the rise of one party's forces, it will inevitably occupy one of the four corners, and there are mountains and rivers that are dangerous, which can be the foundation and take the foundation of the world! ”

Guanzhong Mountain River is four stops, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, Longshan Mountain in the west, Loess Plateau in the north, Huashan, Kunshan and the southwest mountains of Shanxi Province in the east, and the Yellow River surrounds, which can be described as surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the momentum is reunited. There are mountains and rivers on all sides of Guanzhong, as long as you hold a few holes to condense it, you can sit back and relax. Guanzhong, backed by Longxi, can obtain good horses from the West, and can train elite iron horses, no less than 30,000; Guanzhong is also fertile land, with more grain output, which can feed millions of people and train 200,000 elites. And the people of Guanzhong, Hu and Han live together, they are extremely brave! ，”

"There is the convenience of the terrain in the pass, the advantage of war horses, the advantage of food, the advantage of soldiers and bravery, and the four advantages are superimposed, and Fu Jian dominates the world with this, so it is said that he has won the world."

Hebei is surrounded by mountains and seas, surrounded by mountains and seas on three sides, and the Central Plains in the south. Yanshan, resisting the northern barbarians, winging Hebei; The Taihang Mountains are the right barrier of Hebei. In the hinterland of the Hebei Plain, there are some east-west rivers, such as the Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhangshui, etc., which can resist the threat from the south and strengthen the gateway. However, relying on the shield of rivers is not as good as the shield of mountains after all. In terms of topography, Hebei is inferior to Guanzhong, fortunately, the people of Hebei are fierce and strong, and there are many elite soldiers; There are good horses again, and there is more grain, second only to Guanzhong! ”

"The Jianghuai region, the terrain is flat, there are no mountains and rivers to block it, and it is not as good as Guanzhong and Hebei in terms of pattern, so it can only rely on the Huai River and the Yangtze River for defense. It's just that the role of rivers is mainly transportation, and they are far inferior to mountains and rivers in terms of defense. Fortunately, the Jianghuai generation, far away from Guanzhong and Hebei, transferred troops to attack, and it was easy to work on expeditions and form a tired division; The river network is dense, and it can be used to disadvantage war horses; Again, the climate is hot and dry, and the epidemic is continuous. Relying on these advantages, you can't defeat the enemy in the north, but you can drag the northern land to death! It's like the defeat of Cao Cao and the defeat of Fu Jian! ”

"It's just that in the land of Jianghuai, there is a lack of war horses, so the cavalry is scarce, or the combat effectiveness is insufficient, and the defense is more than enough, but the attack is insufficient! Relying on the land of Jianghuai, it is okay to divide one side, and there is not much possibility to win the world! ”

"The topography of the Bashu Basin, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, is larger than its Guanzhong in terms of terrain, and the area of the Chengdu Plain also surpasses the Weihe Plain. Roughly the east is a waterway, a river road; The north side is a land route with a plank road. It has always been a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Bashu is too dangerous, and it is destined to be difficult to enter, and it is also difficult to attack. The people here are comfortable, the contradictions between the locals and the outsiders are sharp, and it is okay to divide one side, and there is no possibility of winning the world! ”

"The four corners of the land are all offensive and defensible."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu paused.

When everyone listened, they immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

Liu Xiu continued: "Hedong, Shandong, Jingxiang and Hanzhong are on four sides. The land of the four sides, sandwiched between the two corners, there are holes to connect, it is difficult to hold the danger, the land of the four battles, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and it is destined to only attack, not defend! ”

"The dynasties of the past dynasties, the forces that arose in the four corners, if they want to get rid of the hegemonic situation of dividing one corner and expand outward, they must first fight for two wings and control both sides of the corner; Then occupy the Central Plains and win the world to unify the whole country! If you occupy a corner, it is just a first-mover advantage; If you occupy both sides, you will succeed in three floors; If you continue to occupy the Central Plains, you will succeed in five layers! ”

"The battle in the world, Guanzhong is the best, Hebei is this, as for Bashu, Jianghuai and other places, all of them are soy sauce!"

Liu Xiu said leisurely.

It's just that some people don't dare to disagree and say: "Mr. Taibai, Emperor Guangwu once won the world with the land of Hebei; Emperor Wu of Wei once started with the Central Plains and unified Hebei! ”

"Foot, what do you call it?" Liu Xiu asked.

"Boy Liu Yu!" The young man said.

Liu Yu, interesting!

"Success is in the sky, something is in the people, the mountains and rivers are geographical, the people's hearts, grain and grass, war horses, etc. are important, but they still rely on making things, so there are Zhuge six Northern Expeditions. Our dynasty also has Zu Li, Yu Liang, Yin Hao, and Huan Wen Northern Expedition! As the saying goes, the Mandate of Heaven is no longer in China, I will fight for the Mandate of Heaven for China, and my destiny is up to me! ”

Liu Xiu said lightly: "It can reverse the destiny of heaven, the difficulty is too great, and the failure rate is too high." Han Gaozu occupied the land of Guanzhong, and he ruled the world in just seven years; Emperor Guangwu raised troops in Hebei and ruled the world for 12 years. But Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains, only unified the north, it was seventeen years, and in the end, it was the defeat of Chibi, and the world was divided into three! ”

"Hard work is better than reincarnation technology. If you are born a prince, you only need not to make mistakes, as long as your father dies, you can become an emperor; If you are born a prince, you need to defeat the crown prince, defeat each prince, and win the approval of your father in order to become the emperor, and the difficulty increases; But if you are a nobleman or a warlord, such as Wang Dun and Hengwen and others, you need to fight and fight constantly to become an emperor, and the chance of failure is very great; But if it is a commoner, if it is a beggar, the possibility of becoming an emperor is even lower, and it is more difficult! ”

"It's not that a beggar can't be an emperor, but it's unprecedentedly difficult, you need to work hard, you need to be lucky, it's just a little bit, it's defeat!"

"Taking Guanzhong as the foundation, seizing the world, the difficulty is small, the time is short, as long as you follow the steps and make no mistakes, it is equivalent to the crown prince ascending the throne; And Hebei is the foundation, seizing the world, which is equivalent to the prince seizing power, which is difficult, risky and long; As for the Central Plains as the foundation, seizing the world opened the hell mode; With Jiangnan as the foundation, seize the world, and open the desperate mode! ”
