Chapter 58

The maps these days are really simple and backward. The city is replaced by a box, and the spacing ratio between cities is inaccurate at all.

There are only a few wave lines in the mountains, and the official roads are just a random curve. Who knows how many rivers pass through, how many mountains pass through, and how many villages and towns pass through?

If it weren't for professionals, ordinary people wouldn't be able to understand the map at all, let alone understand the marching route.

Chen Buer asked clearly now, and he still had to take out the national map of the space hospital and compare it to see.

Unfortunately, the mountains and rivers, river trends, and city locations in ancient times and later generations were very different, and the national maps of later generations were also uncountable.

"Weng Weng, which two routes you mentioned to attack our country?"

Lu Zhixiao said to a city in the north on the map: "Do you know where this is? This is Nanjing Xijin Prefecture of Liao Kingdom."

Chen Buer curled his lips secretly, "Isn't this Beijing?" How could he not know that he had been to him N times in his previous life."

The old man didn't know how his grandson was complaining, but drew a circle in the north.

"See, the entire Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road are almost flat, which is very suitable for cavalry combat. In addition, the Sixteenth Pass of Yanyun is not in our hands, so our Great Zhou has no natural danger to defend, which is very dangerous.

If the Liao Kingdom really wants to attack our country, I am afraid there is no need to make any major preparations. I can ride a horse from Xijin Prefecture and fight to the edge of the Yellow River in a few days, and I can't stop it.

In order to change this unfavorable situation, the Taizong Dynasty took the initiative to break the Yellow River. A large area of ​​plains north of the Yellow River were flooded and turned into a swamp of thousands of miles. Not to mention riding a horse, even leaving people. These swamps and lakes became natural barriers to our north.

Therefore, the Khitans wanted to attack our country. From Xijin Prefecture, they could only go west to the Xiongzhou Baozhou front line, pass Zhending Prefecture, and then cross the Yellow River from Daming Prefecture to reach Bianliang. This is the fastest route."

Lu Zhixiao drew a winding offensive route on the map. Although it was tortuous, the goal was very clear. It seemed that this should be a consensus between the government and the country, so the road was always under heavy control.

Chen Buer calculated that only cavalry could compete for these thousands of miles.

The Great Zhou was basically infantry. If you walked so far north to Xiongzhou, you might even be cold by then, and at least your logistical support would not be able to keep up.

It is obvious that from a strategic perspective, the Great Zhou is very dangerous and very dangerous. This is what Chen Buer thought, so he couldn't wait to ask another question:

"Who, what about another offensive route?"

Lu Zhizhai put the teaching stick on a northern city.

"Did you see, this is Datong Prefecture, which was once the homeland of our Central Plains. Alas, it's a pity that such an important strategic location fell into the hands of the Khitans.

Another attack route for the Khitans was here. Starting from Datong Prefecture and heading to Yanmen Pass in Daizhou, Shanxi is mostly mountainous, and there is only one road for the large army to pass.

Just go south to Taiyuan Prefecture. Taiyuan Prefecture is very important to our country. If Taiyuan Prefecture does not guard, Hedong Road will not guard. If Hedong Road does not guard, the Yellow River will not guard. After crossing the Yellow River, people will directly attack Bianliang City."

When Chen Buer heard this, his face collapsed and he cursed with pain:

"How could Emperor Taizu choose Bianliang as his capital back then? There is no danger here and he is threatened by the Khitan at any time. This capital should be moved south. Jiangling Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture, are all better than Bianliang.

If it really doesn't work, let's set the capital of God Luoyang or the capital of Tang Chang'an. There are mountains and waters there, and there are so many natural obstacles. Even if we can't attack, we can still defend it."

Could it be that Chen Buer was angry? Although he didn't know what the historical direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty was, it was a superficial era after all.

But he knew how the Kaifeng Prefecture of the Northern Song Dynasty was captured by the Jin army in his previous life, and the Hui and Qin sects were displaced. The Jingkang shame, which was furious, caused eternal pain in the history of the Han people.

As a result, Chen Buer finally reincarnated and lived again, but he brought the birth to the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was no different from the "weak Song Dynasty". It was really a waste of time.

When Lu Zhixiao heard this, he closed the door of Baihu Hall repeatedly.

"My little ancestor, I dare not talk about this. Emperor Taizu actually wanted to move the capital back then, but there were too many officials who opposed it. These officials had long bought property in Bianliang and became local tyrants. Of course, they were unwilling to start over.

So don't yell around to move the capital. This will offend the powerful people in the court. Although you, Weng and I are the deputy commander of the imperial guards, I may not be able to protect you as a living treasure by then."

Chen Buer quickly covered his mouth:

"Okay, my grandson understands it, don't say it, I know now. If the Khitans come in, I will run away immediately, run south, escape the Huaihe River, and escape the Yangtze River. Then see who will catch up with me, haha."

As soon as these words were said, Lu Zhixiao's slap flew up and slapped Chen Buer on the back of his head:

"Don't let your mother gossip, you are a big man, and the country is in trouble, but you don't want to serve the country and want to escape? Why do you have a coward grandson like you?"

Chen Buer rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that the world is the surname Chai, not Chen. Do I need to die for the Chai family?

But he still gave in his mouth:

"Haha, Weng Weng, grandson is just kidding. If you really have such a day, I won't go anywhere. I will take Jingshitang's family back and forth to Jingshishan to fight guerrillas. Weng Weng will come at that time, and our grandfather and grandson will make a pair of mountain eagles."

When Lu Zhixiao heard this, he became silent in a rare way. Then he raised his triangle eyes, looked outside, and confirmed that there was no one, and whispered:

"Child, we really have the day to destroy the country. If you have enough time, you can walk the canal and go south to Jiangnan. This is the safest way. You can also transport most of the medicinal materials and property in Jingshitang so that the Chen family will not be in a downfall.

If things are urgent, then go by land. You have to run towards Xiangyang City by land. Xiangyang is in a dangerous terrain, and Xiangcheng and Fancheng are both heavily guarded, which is difficult to break. So as long as you escape Xiangyang, you will be safe."

After saying this, Lu Zhixiao's voice became even lighter, almost touching Chen Buer's ears:

"You Chen family, I will tell you one person. Weng Weng, I was in Lin'an Mansion by Qiantang River. I secretly bought real estate and shops early, and the location was Chongyefang in Yongkin Gate. Weng Weng has also prepared a house for you.

If there is really a day when wars in the north and Bianliang is not protected, you will take your mother there to take refuge, but remember this matter and don’t tell others, neither your parents can do it.”

When Chen Buer heard this, he looked at his grandfather incredibly.

"Okay, old man, you are so cunning, a typical cunning rabbit, you have done everything I didn't expect?"

Lu Zhixiao slapped Chen Buer on the back of the head:
Chapter completed!
