But no one understands the power of Liu Jixing's guerrilla warfare better than Guo Jing. The reason why he became the king of Xiangxi was not just because he bribed the barbarians. It was because of his absolute strength and domineering display that the barbarians in Western Chu had to compromise.
But Guo Jing knew that this was just an illusion. As long as he showed his defeat in Chu land, everything about Chu Xi would be false. Although he has been serving as the training envoy of the first regiment of the Northwest Road of Han Dynasty, now he is actually performing the duties of recruiting envoys of the Northwest Road.
Facing a big boss like Pan Chongche, no matter how successful he was, Guo Jing had to lower his stature. Because it doesn't matter whether he is the deputy marshal of Shaozhou Prefecture or the number one general in Lingnan. Guo Jing had to respect him just for his ability to kill people in an array of thousands of people.
Sure enough, there were rumors that Pan Chongche was dissatisfied with discipline and even had other ideas. But after working with him in Hengzhou Mansion, Guo Jing greatly changed her view of him. Of course, this period of time spent together has naturally benefited me a lot.
Now he is not only responsible for the development of several routes, but also, in the words of Emperor Liu Jixing, is establishing a huge liberated area in the Chu region.
The emperor asked himself to become the king of this area first. As long as he could give an order, this huge area would become the territory of the Han Kingdom, and these ordinary people would become the citizens of the Han Kingdom. This is what Emperor Liu Jixing wants and what he wants to accomplish.
Life is so wonderful. In a short period of time, Guo Jing went from an unknown little scholar to a senior official commanding a battle. After becoming the king of the western part of the Chu region, Guo Jing's heart was filled with gratitude.
Although only Guo Jing himself understands how valuable he is as the King of Xiangxi. Without the support of Lingnan and the support of Emperor Liu Jixing, it would be impossible to complete even my dream. Although someone had said something to Guo Jing, Guo Jing knew what he had learned, so he had no time to think about anything else.
Liu Jixing was still supplying himself with talents continuously, no matter when he was in Chuxi or when he was holding on to Hengzhou. Let these talents accept front-line military combat and try to solve people's livelihood problems. The real thing is direct training, the survival of the fittest to cultivate front-line command talents and local officials.
Guo Jing knew that he was so favored by the emperor because he could best understand the emperor's meaning. Another most important point is that I have never had any dissatisfaction due to the improvement of my status.
After receiving the emperor's order, Guo Jing no longer needs to expand his territory. He only needs to lead his brothers to protect the people, fight against local tyrants and bullies, and gain the support of the people to protect the liberated areas. And his scattered brothers are the real main force. They copy and spread the territory in Chudi and carry out their own small-scale development.
Back then, we were able to perfectly connect the seven states of Chu, Dicheng, Xu, Zhou, Jin, Xi, Li, and Chenchu into a line. This line was actually a safe liberated area, and it was a road through which the Han Dynasty could advance into the Central Plains. route.
This time, the Han Kingdom perfectly occupied the middle of Shu, making the Han Kingdom not only directly close to the middle of Shu, but also able to directly reach the border of Shu. To be ranked number one in Shu, Guo Jing should undoubtedly be the one. Needless to say, Guo Jing will never lose this credit.
As for the territory near Lin Ke (牂牁), the territory of the Luo Shi ghost people, as Emperor Liu Jixing married Lady Wan Yiping, the princess of Baiyi, they were continuously provided with various supplies. Their leader fully agreed. And gave up a lot of territory and routes to the Han Dynasty.
Guo Jing finally understood why Liu Jixing made him the king of Xiangxi and set his base in Jianzhou. Because this place can be retreated, defended, or attacked. The most important thing is to control this place so that the connection between Lingnan and Shuzhong will not be cut off, nor will the Chu government be bold enough to attack completely.
Judging from the results of Shuzhong falling into Lingnan, Liu Jixing's strategy completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Therefore, Guo Jing was greatly surprised when he initially located Jianzhou, because this was recognized by everyone as the territory of the barbarian chieftains.
Although by the time Zhou Xingfeng's several brothers took turns in power, this place had gradually become the only way for trade. Therefore, protecting the strategic highland of Jianzhou was simply the most important decision to lead to Sichuan and the Central Plains.
Merchants were arranged to travel with them here, and they could smoothly go from Chengzhou along Jianzhou to Qianzhou and enter Sichuan. Not only was it greatly shortened, half the journey from Lingnan to Shu was made by the Han Dynasty, but it also gave Lingnan an additional road to the Central Plains.
Although seizing this base area can earn a lot of financial gratitude from merchants, Guo Jing now knows that this meaning is far greater than money.
Because the greater significance of this is that it means that in the future, the materials on the sea of the Han Dynasty can continuously enter the Central Plains through Shuzhong. It is completely possible to get rid of the situation where Chudi and Nanping are the dominant family.
Today, Lingnan can suddenly occupy Shuzhong. Maybe no one in this world will believe it. Even after Guo Jing had been baptized during this period, when he received the good news from Prince Yu Xing's Mansion in Hengzhou City, he couldn't believe that it was all true.
Because no one thought that the Han Dynasty would find such a rugged place in western Hunan and enter Sichuan through here.
Nowadays, the importance of Zhenzhou has become more and more obvious, so Guo Jing initially set out to select a site on the edge of the Zhijiang River to build the Zhanzhou City that belonged to the Han Kingdom. It was also apparently his own royal city of Xiangxi.
Now that the royal city has been completed, Guo Jing has never lived there. Because since then, Guo Jing traveled to various states in the Chu region. Although there was a small regret in his heart, Guo Jing knew better that it was just a beautiful scenery.
Regardless of his final achievements in Chudi, at least Jianzhou City will not be his final destination. Just like Hengzhou City, which is not yet hot, I am just a passer-by here.
Guo Jing didn't have the slightest regret, but instead had more surprises in his heart. Because information was transmitted at the speed of the secret party, the Jianzhou City project was one of Emperor Liu Jixing's plans that day. To establish his own base in the ancient city of western Hunan, the ultimate goal of great significance was to naturally control the entire western Hunan.
When it was in Ma Yin's hands that day, the person who controlled Jinzhou and Jianzhou was Peng Shichou, the chieftain of Fengyun Chudi. Now his successor Peng Shigaoyuan is in Jinling City, and Guo Jing has had contact with his descendants. According to Guo Jing's idea, if political needs require it, he can capture these brave and fighting barbarians at any time.
