As long as we win such a place, the dominance of the war will become our own control. A war controlled by ourselves will greatly increase the chances of victory. In fact, we can see from the history of our country that there are many examples in which military affairs and wars are affected by geographical conditions. Shanxi is obviously a battleground for military strategists. It can be seen from the geographical location of Shanxi that Shanxi is a mountainous province and belongs to the Loess Plateau.
Taihang Mountain in the east, Luliang Mountain in the west, Zhongtiao Mountain in the south, Yinshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain in the north and Taiyue Mountain in the middle. In addition, there are Wutai Mountain, Taohongshan Mountain and Zhoushan System. The Yellow River flows through the west and south. There are many subsidence basins and deep valleys cut by rivers in Shanxi, and the steep geographical position has obviously become a battleground.
Shanxi in peacetime is the natural barrier for the Central Plains regime to resist the enemies in the north. During the war, the separatist forces could easily monopolize Shanxi Province, of course, not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, such a phenomenon of mountain separatism was very common, occupying Shanxi and being seen throughout Guanzhong area. And there are many passes in Shanxi Province. There are Niangziguan and Yanmenguan. In ancient times, the biggest enemy of the Central Plains regime was the nomadic tribes in the north. If Shanxi is occupied by nomadic tribes in the north, they can attack the Guanzhong mountain area to the west and capture Kaifeng and Luoyang in Henan Province to the east, so that the whole Central Plains will be baptized by war.
