"My lord, the first way, the big west heading west, the thieves will land on the mud and sand river opposite Hagi Port!"

"On the second road, he will definitely take the line of Hezhou and Hanshan, because the garrison of the imperial court in this place is a blank!"

Chen Hua was puzzled: "Liangsheng, how do you know that if the thief chooses the first path, he will ...... in the mud and sand river."

Xu He said: "Lord Chen, as I just said, the thieves originally detoured to Jinling in the south of Digang, so the south bank is not their destination, to the west is Anqing Mansion, where the imperial court has a large number of sailors to guard, and they will not take risks." So, take a look around here, and only Hefei is the most suitable target! ”

Chen Hua sighed: "Although I don't know if you guessed correctly, I think it's very credible!" ”

Hefei has been a key point between the north and the south since ancient times.

The Yangtze River is difficult to cross, but if you control Hefei, you can lay Chaohu Lake.

Chaohu Lake is a great place, and it can be directly connected to the big river through the Shiliang River and the Three Forks River.

Controlling Hefei and Chaohu Lake, the north can enter, the south can go down, and the east and west can go, which is a very important strategic point.

Why didn't Sun Quan and Cao Cao fight for Jingkou during the Eastern Wu period, but repeatedly fought in Hefei?

Why Mongolia attaches great importance to Hefei is also because they want to use Chaohu Lake to train a naval army, attack Xiangyang in the west and Jiankang in the east!

At this point, everyone thought about it.

But where the thieves are going is not what Zhang Jingxian is most concerned about, he said to Xu He: "Liangsheng, since you said that the thieves will go to Luzhou, then why did you start to mention the matter of coastal defense?" ”

He, the Huaiyang Haiphong Dao, of course, cares about this the most.

Xu He nodded and explained, "My lord, that's why I said what I just said. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all laughed out loud.

They thought that Xu He had some foresight, but they didn't expect it to be to remind Zhang Jingxian of his duty.

"Loud voice, can adults still not know where their job is? Your reminder is superfluous! Xu Dai laughed.

Wang Lie also said: "Young Master Xu, the Japanese are all active in Zhejiang, and they have rarely landed in Susong in the past two years, not to mention our Yangzhou, you are too worried!" ”

After he finished speaking, he just wanted to laugh, but when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Jingxian looking at him with an unkind face, Wang Lie panicked, and hurriedly sat up straight, not daring to say more.

Zhang Jingxian said: "You all go outside first, Lord Chen, it is estimated that the county government will also receive the Shangfeng Transfer, eventful, I will send someone to contact you every day!" ”

Chen Hua arched his hand: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I will send someone to Master Zhang every day to inquire about the news." ”

Zhang Jingxian said again: "Zhongwanggong, you have also followed the wind and dust all the way, and you have worked hard!" ”

At this, he politely stood up and arched his hand.

Xu Dai wanted to leave, but he was a little uneasy, so he asked, "My lord, does what you said make sense?" Thieves won't cross the river, right? ”

Zhang Jingxian said with a smile: "It's okay, even if they cross the river, they won't be able to enter Hailing City, but Zhongwang Gong and Xiao Shigong are not here, you have to support this mess, the important clansmen of the Xu family are outside, you can gather them into the city during this time!" Remember, keep a low profile and don't cause panic. ”

When Xu Dai heard this, he immediately felt extremely comfortable in his heart, it is good to have an old brother in the pavilion, and there is a sense of superiority everywhere!

"Bright voice, let's go!" At this time, he beckoned to Xu He!

Who knew that Zhang Jingxian said: "Zhongwang Gong, let Liangsheng stay for a while, I have something to tell him!" ”

When Xu Dai heard this, he suddenly realized that this co-author was actually driving them away!

After Xu Dai left, only Zhang Jingxian and Xu He were left in the hall, and Zhang Jingxian beckoned and let Xu He come to his big case.

Then he pointed to Nan Zhili's map and said to Xu He: "Liangsheng, do you think that the Japanese will take advantage of the chaos to land on the shore?" ”

Xu He nodded: "The White Lotus Sect is very strange, they have already lost the opportunity to attack Jingkou, why do they want to go east?" ”

Zhang Jingxian suddenly said: "The White Lotus Thief's operation in the east has been extinguished before it has even begun, and they have lost the opportunity to seize Jingkou!" ”

"If it's really as you said, they went directly north to Luzhou and attacked Hefei while they were unprepared, why did they still fight Tianfu? In addition to attracting troops from all over the country, they had other purposes. ”

Xu He nodded: "I don't know at the moment, but it's still the same sentence, you have the responsibility to defend the land, and the Yangzhou Military Reserve Road is the Huaiyang Coastal Defense Road, these two positions are too important, one side is the canal, the other side is the coastal defense, and the slightest mistake can't come out!" ”

"Among them, especially Xingang, Miaowan and Wolf Mountain."

Xu He looked for it on the map, and then pointed to Xingang Road: "After Xingang, Shao Boyi all the way to the north is Zhangjiagou, Huailou Town, these places go directly to Huai'an Mansion, the water depth is feasible big ship, if there is no defense, the Japanese will be burned all the way, and Huaiyang will be eroded!" ”

The second is Miaowan, there is a canal leading directly to Hailing, if the thieves take advantage of it, Hailing is dangerous!

"Wolf Mountain again, Wolf Mountain is next to Nantong Prefecture, the river is gentle, thieves can land on the shore, next to the big city, thieves must go!"

Zhang Jingxian has been to Xingang and is still familiar with the environment there.

But he didn't know about Miaowan, Wolf Mountain and other places.

However, he believed Xu He, so he asked: "There are so many places, some of which are not even my jurisdiction, and it is very troublesome to manage them!" ”

Xu He said with a smile: "My lord, let me tell me what I mean, Yizhen, Guazhou, please have your own Yizhenwei, Huailou Town, Zhangjiagou These places are garrisoned by Gaoyouwei along the river!" ”

"Xingang and Miaowan are under our noses, and they are riversides, and Yangzhou is duty-bound."

"As for Wolf Mountain, it is also your jurisdiction, Wolf Mountain is too important, the strength of a Tongzhou office is not enough, it is best to transfer the Taizhou Thousand Households to Tongzhou, so that nothing goes wrong!"

Zhang Jingxian listened while looking at the map, thinking about the feasibility of Xu He's suggestion.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Is there anything to add?" ”

Xu He said: "Yes, if the thief crosses the sea gate, the wolf mountain will be in danger, please send a Japanese boat to patrol day and night in the sea gate, so as to be safe!" ”

With so many places, Zhang Jingxian was a little dizzy when he saw it.

But roughly speaking, if you look at Xu He's deployment, it is actually an L-shape.

This L-shaped, the vertical line is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the horizontal line is the Yangtze River.

The top of L is Huai'an Mansion, and the intersection point of one horizontal and one vertical is Xingang, so controlling Xingang is to protect the safety of Caoyun.

Cao Yun is fine, Zhang Jingxian's duties can pass, so Xingang is the most important.

This is followed by the horizontal line of L...... Yangtze.

Coming all the way from west to east, it involves several key nodes of Huaiyang Haiphong Road, which are Miaowan Town, Wolf Mountain and Haimen.

In this era, a large area of the later generations was still a vast ocean, and the narrow part of the mouth of the Yangtze River was the sea gate facing Chongming Island.

So it's the perfect place to keep an eye on the pirates!

Zhang Jingxian breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this: "Liangsheng, I didn't expect that your map geography and art of war strategy have reached this point, if it weren't for your reminder, I would still be at a loss now, and I don't know where to start!" ”
