Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 115 Strategy
In the past few days, Chen Wentian has completely entered the workaholic mode, collecting and analyzing all kinds of information without stopping for a moment.

At the beginning, facing such a large workload, he had a headache.

But gradually, Chen Wentian began to enjoy it a little. For the first time, he felt the pleasure of a huge amount of information falling into his hands so easily, just like the melon people suddenly got a lot of "big melons" in the entertainment industry. ", and the feeling of discovering that these are all first-hand information...

After roughly gathering all the information, he began to carefully analyze where he should go. This was the most important question.

At this moment, Chen Wentian remembered Zhuge Wuhou's famous "Longzhong Dui" in another time and space.

Not to mention the level of this strategy, the details of which are somewhat controversial, but for Liu Bei, who was homeless and dependent on others at the time, this undoubtedly pointed out the general direction of his follow-up feasible development, which belongs to the level of national policy. strategy.

After that, the Liu Bei Group had a clear goal. Although there were twists and turns in the middle, Zhuge's strategic plan was roughly completed in the end.

Of course, Zhuge chose the more difficult route of the Northern Expedition in the later period, and eventually exhausted his life and fell to Wuzhangyuan with hatred, which became the biggest regret of many fans.

So the question is, how much does Longzhong contribute to Liu Bei Group?

Chen Wentian really couldn't quantify this point. After all, without Liu Bei's continuous efforts, everything would be empty talk, but he also knew how important Longzhong's strategic decision-making was!

The Longzhong incident was actually a watershed in the career of Liu Bei Group. Prior to this, the 46-year-old Liu Bei had struggled for more than 20 years to start a business, and finally fled to Jingzhou, still wandering around without any foundation.

After receiving Zhuge's strategic guidance, Liu Bei rose rapidly in a short period of time, and the entire company grew rapidly according to Longzhong's plan, until Guan Erye accidentally lost Jingzhou...

Therefore, the importance of strategic-level development planning to a force is self-evident, but now this strategic decision can only be made by oneself.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, none of the strategizing and unparalleled top strategists that Chen Wentian is familiar with can help him.

These people are either underage, or their life trajectory has changed. Even with such a huge force as the Longwei Mansion, the effect of cheating through the "Book of Heaven" is not good, let alone him who has no foundation...

What's more, the general situation of the world today has changed beyond recognition. Many forces are still in the dormant stage, and the whole situation is not clear. Under such circumstances, even if you have top counselors, can you really give good advice?
Moreover, the considerations of the ancient counselors were usually based on dominating the world. For this purpose, everything else can be used. It is easy to compete with Chen Wentian and Lin Lin to change the big man, break the monopoly of the gentry, and establish a healthier social order. End goals collide.

Just like the wise and mighty Boss Cao, why was he able to win successive conquests time and time again even though he made his fortune in the Central Plains Four Wars before the Battle of Chibi?
The most important point is that he has the support of the Yingchuan gentry.

However, success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He!
After the failure of Chibi, Cao Cao was devastated when he returned to the Central Plains, and was no longer able to make a large-scale southern expedition.

In fact, the loss of troops and materials is acceptable and can be replenished. The fundamental reason is that the contradiction between Boss Cao and the gentry who supported him gradually expanded until it became irreconcilable.

In order to stabilize the political situation, Cao Cao had to start dealing with internal conflicts, and no longer had the energy and strength to use troops abroad. Even if he was forced to send troops, the war was no longer as smooth as before.

Later, the death of the first assistant Xun Yu was one of the results...

Chen Wentian didn't want to go through all kinds of hardships. After establishing his foundation, he had to constantly compromise with the gentry under his rule...

In this way, targeted strategic planning is particularly important!

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to expend a lot of energy in Qingzhou to develop the foundation, because the future strategy is definitely not applicable there.

To formulate a practical strategy, we must first decide where to start.

After summarizing the information of Longwei Mansion and thinking all the time, he first ruled out two areas.

Central Plains and Jiangnan.

Although the Central Plains has a large population and is suitable for farming, taking advantage of these advantages requires a prerequisite, that is, a stable and peaceful environment. However, this is almost impossible for the Central Plains, which is a place where the forces are intricate and belonged to the Fourth World War.

What's more, there are many aristocratic families in the Central Plains, and those who have no foundation to start a business here, how to deal with the relationship with these local snakes who control the place?
Of course, if it is really possible to form an extremely powerful military force in a short period of time, it is still possible to give it a try.

It's just that Chen Wentian searched hard for a long time, but he didn't find that he possessed the system of turning decay into magic or all kinds of golden fingers, so he could only give up...

Immediately after Jiangnan, southern Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and other places are also not suitable for starting.

Jiangnan in the Han Dynasty was indeed a barren land. At this time, China's economic center of gravity was definitely in the Central Plains and the North. Unless Chen Wentian was willing to spend a generation or two in wretched development and kept taking in refugees to enrich himself during the chaos in the North, otherwise It's hard to make a difference.

Even if it is a land of fish and rice, it cannot be achieved without a population. Wars not only rely on strategies, but more importantly, the support of national strength.

In addition, there are also a large number of gentry in the land of Jiangnan.

The Jiangdong Sun family in another time and space is a proof. Sun Shiwan actually controlled a very large area during his heyday, but Wu's strategy has never been to unify China, but to rule across the river and develop itself.

He kept attacking Hefei, and Chen Wentian guessed that it was actually showing an attitude, and he was doing it in order to reach some exchanges with the Huaisi faction in China. The soldiers and supplies he sent each time were far less Far less exaggerated than in the romance.

Moreover, the situation is different now. The Longwei Mansion, which has been dormant in Yizhou for many years, will not give him a chance to develop in the south of the Yangtze River with peace of mind. Even the Sun family in Wujun has already planned. Made up a set of lies and deceived him...

Therefore, you must not get too close to the forces of Longwei Mansion.

After excluding these two areas, there are actually not many options left, but Chen Wentian can only continue to do subtraction.

Western Regions and Liaodong.

These two areas are actually quite suitable for the start of the game, but he knows that there are many layouts of Longwei Mansion buried in these two areas...

Liaodong is one of the key locations of Longwei Mansion. Through some information collection, Chen Wentian knows that the scale of Dragon Riders established by Longwei Mansion in Liaodong base is at least more than [-], and there are also some hidden people pretending to be nobles. The threat is too great .

Although the hidden strength of the Western Regions is not so exaggerated, it is not too weak, not to mention that Dong Zhuo has already led people there to develop secretly, and there are Liu Yan, Zhang Huan, Ma Teng and others in Liangzhou on the other side. Messed up.

At the same time, the harsh environment of the Western Regions also limited the raising of war resources.

Next, the Heluo, Hedong, Sanfu and Jizhou areas are all in the same situation as the Central Plains and are not suitable for development.

Then there are only two places left, Sichuan, central Youzhou and Bingzhou.

Sichuan and Sichuan have a vast territory, favorable conditions, and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They can develop with peace of mind. It is indeed a choice.

Although there are also gentry entrenched here, it is indeed easier than other places, and more is to deal with the relationship with the surrounding minority.

It's just that it seems difficult to get out.

Originally Chen Wentian reluctantly felt that Yizhou was okay after weighing things up, but in the past two days he discovered that Longwei Mansion also had a base in Guanghan County...

Of course, the fundamental reason that tempted him to give up Yizhou was because Chen Wentian discovered the opportunity after the Bingzhou faction incident!
Whether it's the eunuch's idea or Liu Hong's plan behind it, the original nobles in Bingzhou have basically been cleaned up. Isn't this just what he wants? Moreover, Bingzhou belongs to the frontier, surrounded by deserts in the west and blocked by Taihang Mountain in the east. As long as the north and south directions are well guarded That's it.

In addition, the people of Bingzhou are strong, there are more good generals and strong soldiers, and there are iron mines and coal mines...

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there are no difficulties here. Xianbei in the north is a big enemy. Chen Wentian guessed that the leader of Xianbei, Tan Shihuai, must have been affected by the butterfly effect of Senior Ouyang, so the current strength is only stronger than that of another time and space. weak.

Therefore, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou, you must confront Xianbei head-on, which is very difficult.

However, Chen Wentian believed that this was both a threat and an opportunity!

Even if it is impossible to defeat the Xianbei people for the time being, as long as they can successfully resist their entry into the Han land, it will be a great achievement, and it will be very beneficial to their reputation and achievements.

What's more, he believes that he doesn't need to face Xianbei's full strength alone. Even if Liaodong's dragon riders don't come to Bingzhou to participate in the defense, they can at least restrain a large part of Tan Shihuai's energy, and Liu Hong, who is hiding his strength secretly , will definitely not let the barbarians make progress.

If the northern border becomes a big battlefield by then, there will be a shortage of talents everywhere, and I and Lin Lin will have a good opportunity to intervene.

In the end, choose Bingzhou to start the game. If the situation is really unfavorable, Chen Wentian has also thought up an alternative contingency plan...

That is to retreat to the Taihang Mountains, using the entire Taihang Mountains as a base, not only can advance and retreat freely, but can even develop a considerable force!

You must know that the Black Mountain Army in another time and space had millions in its heyday!

"If it is necessary to implement this plan conveniently, it is more appropriate to choose Yanmen and Taiyuan counties."

Chen Wentian complacently made a decision, but this was only the first step. The next strategy can be slowly considered on the way back, and he also needs to discuss it with Lin Lin...
