When he heard Bi Hanlin say this, Qin He couldn't help but look at him.
In fact, from the beginning, Qin He planned to start from the south east province.
Now that Bi Hanlin mentioned this matter again, it was obvious that Bi Hanlin had the same idea as him.
However, this is also Qin He's own guess, and he dare not confirm it.
After thinking about it, Qin He still asked.
"I wonder why General Bi chose to start with the South East Province?"
For some reason, when Bi Hanlin heard Qin He say this, the expression on his face changed slightly.
Vaguely, Qin He seemed to see the twitching of the corners of his eyes.
"Are you asking questions knowingly?"
"If I think differently than you do, then why did you choose to start with Nantong Province first?"
Hearing Bi Hanlin's words, Qin He couldn't help but feel slightly graceful.
I don't know if it was because of Qin He's performance at this moment, but Bi Hanlin waved his hand when he saw this.
"That's all, I'm too lazy to play tricks with you here."
While speaking, Bi Hanlin came directly to the map and pointed at the location of Qinghe Prefecture.
"This is where we are now."
With that said, Bi Hanlin moved his hand and pointed to the east of Qinghe Prefecture and continued.
"Going east, the advance will definitely go straight to the south of the Yangtze River. For the imperial court, the south of the Yangtze River is as important as the important frontier areas."
Having said this, Bi Hanlin's eyes fell on Qin He again.
After thinking for a while, Bi Hanlin seemed to have thought of something, and then he spoke.
"This is what you call an economic center."
"According to your statement, with such an economic center, the imperial court is naturally unwilling to fall into your hands. If we take control of the economic lifeline, then they may not be far away from being destroyed."
Hearing Bi Hanlin's words, Qin He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because he didn't expect Bi Hanlin to remember everything he said before.
Indeed, just as Bi Hanlin said.
Naturally, the economic lifeline of the imperial court cannot be given away so easily.
If Qin He and the others showed any intention of launching an attack on Jiangnan, they would definitely be met with a violent counterattack.
Their abilities before and now are not enough to prove against this.
Qin He nodded slightly, and then motioned to Bi Hanlin to continue.
When Bi Hanlin saw Qin He nodding, he continued.
"As for going north, it is an important waterway, connecting the trade between the east and the west."
"Although its importance is not as important as that of Jiangnan, it is also true."
Having said this, Bi Hanlin paused before continuing.
"The reason why we chose to develop toward the southwest is that it is neither an important route for trade nor an important place."
"If we develop in that direction, we will definitely not encounter strong counterattacks."
"In this way, we will have enough time to continue to develop and accumulate strength for future wars."
After listening to Bi Hanlin's analysis, Qin He naturally nodded repeatedly.
After all, this is also a question that Qin He himself has thought about from the beginning.
Qin He was not surprised that Bi Hanlin could analyze these things.
But what Qin He wanted to know more now was how Bi Hanlin was going to open a breakthrough to the southwest.
I don't know if Bi Hanlin saw the emotion and what was in his heart at this moment, and then said directly.
"Take today's Nandong Province as an example. The permanent troops are only a few thousand."
"It won't take us much time to capture it, but if those thousands of people don't leave the city, it will definitely be a big trouble."
In fact, Qin He had already thought about this issue before.
The reason why Liu Qiang and the others were sent to the South East Province was to wait for them to be able to cooperate internally and externally in the future.
But now that Lin Erluozi's departure has obviously made this matter a little hopeless.
The reason why Qin He suspected Lin Erluzi's wife at this point in time actually had this reason.
After all, he was not sure whether there was such a coincidence.
You must know that the capital city decided to send troops south soon.
Lin Erlunzi and the others also came back around this time.
It's hard not to wonder what's wrong with this.
Lin Erluzi fled Nanyang Prefecture overnight, seemingly because he learned that the Xie family knew his identity.
But the actual situation is far from this.
It is very likely that the Xie family deliberately let him back and at the same time placed his wife beside him to act as a follower.
In this way, not only can the threat in the city be reduced, but one person can also be placed on Qinhe's side.
It can be said that this move kills two birds with one stone.
If this is really the case, it means that the Xie family in Nanyang City now is far from being as simple as Xie Qingshan and the others.
Even Qin He had already guessed this situation. If they actually attacked Nanyang City in the future, the situation would probably not be much better.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that at that time, Nanyang City will be defended.
Perhaps for the Xie family and those in the court, the impact is not that big.
But for the people in the city, this is not the case.
Once the city is really closed, it means that the food in the city will become the biggest hidden danger.
It is naturally impossible for people in the government to open warehouses to store grain and maintain the lives of the people in the city.
When that time comes, it will be ordinary people who suffer from hunger.
Similarly, once an actual attack begins, the common people will definitely be forcibly sent to the tower for defense.
As a result, ordinary people must account for the vast majority of casualties.
Thinking of this, Qin He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Before that, Qin He really didn't want the people in Nanyang City to be implicated.
Only then did Liu Qiang go to Nanyang City to go undercover.
But now the situation has changed, no matter how reluctant Qin He is.
There is no other better way now.
If that time comes, Qin He will not be kind to a woman.
When the time comes, the fight must be fought.
Of course, there is now one more person thinking about this issue with him.
Although Qin He had already made up his mind, he still asked.
"I wonder what we should do if the general faces the opponent and desperately defends the city?"
I don't know if he had already guessed that Qin He would ask this question, but Bi Hanlin thought about it and gave the answer.
"If they insist on guarding the city gate, then we..."
When Bi Hanlin said this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"We can only attack by force!"
"If we cannot attack for a long time, it will affect our momentum."
"For these militiamen under your command now, once their momentum is frustrated, it will definitely become the biggest hidden danger."
