She chose the Northern State as her first choice.
We've already laid the foundation, so why not make the most of it? Besides, the lower the initial luck there is, the greater the potential for improvement.
The others, upon seeing this, understood why she had made this choice.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is incomparable. Prince Yuansheng built his foundation in Beizhou with his own life."
Lin Rushu chose Mengzhou, which was right next to her, and Mu Wan chose Xiazhou, because Xining Pass was located in Xiazhou.
Of the four northern prefectures, only Ningzhou remained.
Feng Zhen'er chose Dongzhou, the easternmost part of the central region, which is connected to Beizhou to the north, and the ancestral home of the Feng family is in Dongzhou.
Of the five southern states, Zhao Xianyin went to Suzhou, which was also the ancestral home of the Feng family, and Jianan Pass was located there.
Xiong Chumo went to Haizhou, which is adjacent to Suzhou and close to Jianan Pass. This was practically planting a thorn in the side of the Feng family.
Huo Baijun went to Yangzhou, which is close to Feiyun Pass in Yunzhou. To the east is Huzhou, the ancestral home of the Li family, and further east is Haizhou, where Xiong Chumo is located.
Huo Baijun could go directly west to Feiyun Pass, and together with Xiong Chumo, they could form a pincer movement to surround Huzhou.
She personally handed each of the jade pendants to them.
Everyone watched her place each piece, pondering the purpose of each move.
The Emperor System was surprised, "She, Mu Wan, Huo Baijun, and Xiong Chumo, guarding the four corners and four passes? Does she trust them that much?"
Zhao Yunqi nodded, "On this point alone, her courage and vision are unparalleled in the world."
The Emperor System was extremely uncomfortable, yet it had to admit that Xiao Zhixing's arrangement was a precautionary measure, and that his vision had already extended to the five kingdoms.
Next, let's look at the key northern region.
She was in Beizhou, and Mengzhou was to the west of Beizhou. These two largest prefectures were adjacent to each other and faced the Northern Barbarians directly. If Lin Rushu went to Mengzhou, it would almost mean that Mengzhou would also fall into Xiao Zhixing's hands—she would definitely try to get it.
To the west of Mengzhou is Ningzhou, and west of Ningzhou is Xiazhou, which faces the northern frontier. Xining Pass is located here, and it is the permanent residence of the Mu family army.
After Mu Wan arrived, she was able to adapt to the local environment quickly and integrate into the community. She and Xiao Zhixing were kindred spirits.
Feng Zhen'er was in Dongzhou, which was right next to Beizhou to the south. It was also a sacred place of literature and virtue, and the ancestral home of the Feng family. Feng Zhen'er felt like she was returning to her own home. She and Xiao Zhixing were also traveling together.
The three provinces of Mongolia, North, and East are connected, and the entire Northeast of the Great Sheng Dynasty is within her sphere of influence.
The officials gasped in surprise. What was Xiao Zhixing up to?
Is it really necessary for her to make such a grand and elaborate plan for a mere three-year strategy?
Don't underestimate these dolls because they are small. With His Majesty's imperial decree in charge and placed in the most appropriate locations, they can exert some power.
The second Li Jun stepped forward.
Without hesitation, he chose Huzhou.
Nian Chenghan chose Ningzhou in the north, Mu Zixi indeed chose Yunzhou, Zhao Lin chose Zhongzhou, Zhang Zhong chose Xizhou, and Liu Zizai chose Qingzhou.
The remaining seventeen followers also made their choices on the spot, all wisely choosing to return to their hometowns, since it's easier to get things done when you know someone.
The final results, from east to west, are:
The four northern states: Beizhou (Xiao Zhixing, Qi Wuyi, Li Ningxiu), Mengzhou (Lin Rushu, Anota), Ningzhou (Nian Chenghan, Wei Qi), and Xiazhou (Mu Wan, Gu Tianyang).
The four central prefectures: Feng Zhen'er and Liao Bing of Dongzhou, Zhao Lin, Yue Zhenren, Xue Xi, and Banan'er of Zhongzhou, Zhang Zhong and Fu Qiong of Xizhou, and Liu Zizai and Chen Wei of Qingzhou;
The five southern prefectures: Zhao Xianyin and Zhao Xi of Suzhou, Xiong Chumo and Cao Mengyuan of Haizhou, Li Jun, Li Zheng, and Jia Geng of Huzhou, Huo Baijun and Nangong Bo of Yangzhou, and Mu Zixi and Zhou Yongnian of Yunzhou.
Of the seventeen followers, Xiao Zhixing and Li Jun had one more. Zhao Lin chose Zhongzhou, which was almost under the emperor's nose, so his followers were mostly students from Zhongzhou, hence the extra number.
Of course, it's not impossible that some people might be willing to follow him.

[Green comment: Don't force me to slap you!]
[Red comments: Hey, hey, we're all from the same family, let's stop the war and get down to business. Xiao Zhixing's arrangements are quite obvious.]
[Yellow comment: Yes, the goddess has already started planning. Three years is a long time; a lot can be accomplished.]
[Red comment: Wow, she has people in seven out of the thirteen provinces, and they were even personally appointed by the emperor. Tsk, is this scumbag Qi really that confident?]
[Red comment: I guess Zha Zha Qi doesn't take these kids seriously. Didn't he say before that they have to fight for their own rights? Everyone thought they wouldn't cause much trouble.]
[Yellow comment: Yes, who would have expected that they would be sent to govern a province, holding both military and political power? But that was just empty talk. Everyone knew that their trips might just be a formality, or a way to gain experience.]
[Red comment: Indeed, if we didn't know history, we wouldn't believe they could have done that.]
[Green comment: Okay, let's skip this point and move on. How can you be so sure these people will never betray us? Once their power expands and they learn the Gentleman's Academy's purpose, these people might all become disloyal to Xiao Zhixing!]
[Yellow comment: No, no, first of all, let's talk about the four young ladies. They have absolutely no chance of getting promoted. Even if they were to become female officials, they would be no match for Prince Yuansheng. They themselves know this, so they have always followed the prince's lead and stayed close behind him.]
