Chapter 142 Plan

Changsha County has [-] counties under its jurisdiction. To the north of Linxiang County, there were originally only Luo County, Yiyang County, and Xiajun County. At the time of Huan and Ling, a part of Luo County was separated from Luo County, and Hanchang County was newly established. In this way, There are four counties in the north of Changsha.

Once Liu Biao made up his mind to unify Jingzhou and sent troops southward, the four counties north of Linxiang would bear the brunt of it, and there was no reason why he would be spared. Therefore, Liu Jing excluded these four counties from the plan from the beginning.

To the south of Linxiang, there are nine counties, namely Hunan, Liandao, Zhaoling, Liling, Ancheng, Chaling, Youxian, Rongling, and Lingxian.

Except for two counties of southern Hunan and Liling, which are too close to Linxiang, and it is difficult to stay out of them in case of trouble, which is not a good place to go, all the other seven counties can be used as shelters, and Ling County is the best among them.

Although there are clan thieves and tyrants inside Ling County, there are Jing barbarians and bandits outside.In addition, there is a problem with the site selection of the city in Ling County. It was built in a low-lying area, and Jingnan has always been rainy.

However, compared with the many advantages of Ling County, these problems are simply not worth mentioning.

Liu Jing had a national map hanging in his office in his previous life, so he knew a lot about geography. Based on the location of Ling County, Liu Jing could easily infer that it was Hengyang, the second largest city in Hunan and the center of southern Hunan in later generations.

Ling County can be traced back to Emperor Yan Shennong's creation and sowing of five grains. It can be said to have a long history. Because this place "strangles the land of South Vietnam in the south and connects the Chudu Road in the north", it has been occupied by Chu people since the Spring and Autumn Period and established a county government. History Called "Pang".

"Historical Records: The Family of Goujian, King of Yue" records: When the King of Yue was weak, he raised his troops and attacked Qi.King Wei of Qi sent envoys to persuade the King of Yue to give up the crusade against Qi and focus on Chu. The envoy said to the King of Yue: "Fuyu, Pang, and Changsha are the millet of Chu; Jingzeling is the talent of Chu. Those who do not pay tribute in these four towns will go to Ying."

As early as the Warring States Period, "Pang", also known as Ling County, was already an important granary for the Chu State.

In troubled times, food is very important. Only when you have food in your hands can you not panic.But this is not what Liu Jing values ​​most. What he values ​​most is the geographical location of Ling County.

Ling County is located in the south of Changsha County, north of Lingling and Guiyang counties, and is just sandwiched between the three counties.

In the future, Liu Biao's army will conquer Changsha. If he wants to go south to occupy Lingling and Guiyang counties, Ling County will be an insurmountable obstacle, just like Hanzhong in Shu and Jiangxia in Wu Zhi. Only when Ling County is completely solved can we let go March into Lingling and Guiyang counties.

On the contrary, Liu Jing has the possibility of integrating the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang when he has Ling County.

Liu Biao's army has been besieging Changsha for years, and Liu Jing can use this time to make more preparations. After Zhang Xian's defeat, he may not be unable to inherit Zhang Xian's legacy.

Because Ling County is so important, Liu Jing has planned for Ling County for a long time, and he is bound to win.

Even if he did not become the magistrate of Ling County, when Liu Biao's army besieged Changsha, he would send troops to occupy Ling County as soon as possible.

Even Leiyang, two hundred miles south of Ling County, was also his target.Leiyang is the only place where iron officials have been set up among the four counties in southern Jing. The iron smelting industry is very developed, and armor and weapons are all produced here. He will never let this place go.

Based on Ling County and Leiyang, integrate the counties in the south of Changsha County, Lingling, and Guiyang, and compete with Liu Biao after Zhang Xian's demise. This is his final plan.

To be honest, the difficulty of this plan is not low, but once it succeeds, he will immediately become a prince.Even if he failed, it wouldn't be a disaster. He could retreat to Lingling, Guiyang, or even Xiajiaozhou in the south of Jinan.

In my memory, Zhang Jin, the shepherd of Jiaozhou, raised his troops to the north after Zhang Xian's death, intending to annex Lingling and Guiyang counties, and fought fiercely with Liu Biao for several years.

Zhang Jin's current location is unknown, but the current leader of Jiaozhou is Zhu Fu, the son of the famous general Zhu Jun, the brother of Zhu Hao, the prefect of Yuzhang who drove Zhuge Xuan away.

Zhu Fu heard that his younger brother was murdered by Ruo Rong the year before last, and he deliberately took advantage of Lingling and Guiyang to attack Yuzhang to avenge Zhu Hao. Things ended up falling apart.

There is no foolproof plan in the world, let alone success that is within easy reach. Liu Jing has the ability to foretell, but foretelling is by no means omnipotent. If he lacks "decision", let alone disappearing from everyone, it will be difficult to make great achievements.

And Liu Jing is just a person with "decisiveness". Once an opportunity arises, he will never let it go.Even if there is no opportunity, he still wants to create an opportunity, just fighting in troubled times.

…………

So what happened in the seat couldn't be concealed at all, and it soon spread to all the governors of the county. No expense was spared, in one day, he was able to combine talent, filial piety and incorruptibility at the same time, making a man so successful that he really envied others.

On the contrary, Liu Jing, the client, seemed extraordinarily calm, ignoring the disturbances outside, and concentrated on dealing with official business, spending the whole day in a busy day.

When returning home from work, Liu Jing passed by Zhucao, and from a distance, he found the elder brother Liu Pan standing outside the wall of the Wuguan Courtyard, looking at him seriously, obviously waiting for him on purpose.

Liu Jing knew it well, walked in front of Liu Pan calmly, and said, "Brother Cong..."

"Follow me..." Liu Pan nodded slightly, and walked first. Along the way, Liu Pan remained silent and did not say a word.

It was not until he returned to the dorm and closed the door that Liu Pan turned to face Liu Jing, sighed heavily, "Zhongda, what is the meaning behind your insistence on going to Ling County?"

Liu Jing replied unhurriedly: "Changsha's fourteen counties, only Ling County has vacancies. If I don't go to Ling County, where else can I go?"

Liu Pan said with displeasure: "You can fool others, but you can't fool me."

"I really can't hide anything from Brother Cong," Liu Jing said "truthfully", "I went to Ling County just to take refuge."

"Refuge?" Liu Pan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and asked, "Did you hear something when you were in Xiangyang?"

Liu Jing shook his head slowly, and said: "Why do you need to hear anything? Isn't this obvious? Since ancient times, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and Jingzhou cannot tolerate two lords. Although Liu Shijun is not a king, he is not an incompetent person. To be able to tolerate Jingnan's renunciation for a long time, there must be a battle between the two sides, and the time will definitely not be too long, just in the past two years.

Mr. Liu treated me very courteously, and praised me as a talented person. Although I did not obey the order, I still cherished my kindness. Therefore, I did not want to participate in the dispute between the North and the South, so I had to go far to the south to avoid disturbance. "

Liu Pan frowned, Liu Jing's words revealed a lot of important information, and the reasons were good enough, but could things really be that simple?
