In Xinyang, Shi Zhuang's 30,000 soldiers of the Right Wei Guard have arrived.

Liu Xinda guessed correctly that the Northern Tang army was going to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Alliance troops in Guangshui. Of course, the participants in this war were far more than the soldiers and horses of the Right Weiwei Guard.

Northern Tang did not want to fight with the Southern Alliance in a mess, and Li Ze did not even want to fight with the other party at this time, but the premise was to hurt the opponent and retract their stretched claws.

E Yue’s position is too critical, and this place must be controlled by the Northern Tang Dynasty.

"Now, Xiang Zhen must make a choice whether to continue attacking Huainan or to help Eyue!" Shi Zhuang stood in front of the map and said to the generals under his command.

"General, this will depend on Xiang Zhen's plan for the Eyue land in their entire strategy!" Luo Hongxin, the top scholar of the first martial arts competition in the Northern Tang Dynasty, said: "The original intention of the Southern Alliance is to take Huainan and then take directly to Yangzhou and other places, so as to wrap Zhejiang in. Zhejiang must be prosperous. They really want this place. It can be said that Eyue and Zhejiang each have their own advantages."

Shi Zhuang nodded: "Liang Han, what do you think?"

Liang Han, who had escaped back then, now seems much more calm. Of course, this is also because under Shi Zhuang's command, he is talented and martial, and Shi Zhuang presses him tightly, so that he has no temper in front of Shi Zhuang. In a state where he can't win or say it, there is no other way except to bow his head and accept it.

"In my opinion, Xiang Zhen will inevitably give up attacking Huainan and come to assist Eyue with all his strength!" Liang Han said: "Zhejiang is rich, but the overall economy of the Southern Alliance is actually not bad now, and the desire for economics is not that strong. Eyue is located in the middle and the key road connecting the left and right of China Unicom. If we are completely taken into our hands, it is equivalent to dissecting the Southern Alliance into two, and they will definitely not want to face such an ending."

"Yes. Xiang's family is quite ambitious, and their purpose is the same as ours. They want to defeat their opponents and unify the world." Shi Zhuang laughed and said, "So, they will not take the temporary economic interests seriously. Moreover, now Liu Chenglin's Right Guard is heading towards Huainan. Even if they really conquer the entire Huainan territory, they will have to face the full counterattack of the Right Guard, and they are afraid that they will not have the spare energy to attack Yangzhou and surround Liangzhe. Since this goal cannot be achieved, Huainan will seem useless."

"Is it possible that the other party mobilized Hunan and Jiangxi soldiers to rescue E Yue in large quantities, but Xiang Zhen still had the original plan unchanged?" Luo Hongxin asked back.

"Of course there are possibilities." Shi Zhuang said: "But whether it is Ding Taiyi from Hunan or Qian Wenzhong from Jiangxi, their goals are different from Xiang Xun. Xiang Xun wants to unify the world, but what they want is to preserve their own territory and strength. If they enter Eyue in large quantities, they will inevitably fight with us. They are very clear about this. Therefore, reinforcements may be sent, but they may only talk about the story and make a difference. If their troops are too much in the battle with us, even if they defeat us, they will only face the risk of being annexed by Xiang Xun in the next days. What do you think they will do?"

Luo Hongxin sighed: "Sometimes, I really can't understand. Ding Taiyi and Qian Wenzhong, they know that if we win and control Ezhou, they will gain a great advantage in strategy and will form an overwhelming advantage in front of them in the future, but why can't we put aside all selfish thoughts and fight for the death with us? If we win in the end, what can they get?"

"The key is that they feel that if they lose their strength, the outcome of falling into Xiang Xun's hands will not be much better than that falling into our hands." Liang Han smiled and said, "So, let's take a look at the front of us first. From now on, it's just riding a donkey and reading the songbook and walking. Wushu Top Scholar, don't think they are really short-sighted, they have no choice. They can only choose one that looks better from all the bad choices."

Luo Hongxin shook his head repeatedly.

"It's true!" Shi Zhuang said: "Li Xiang's policy can be said to have solved the interests of all the great landlords and gentry classes that originally ruled the Tang Dynasty. The reason why it was successful in the north was because the wars in the north were constantly turbulent, and Zhang Zhongwu's rebellion even further under this situation. The original great landlords and gentry classes were swept away. This allowed our policy to be implemented smoothly. But when he was in Hezhong Prefecture, it was no longer possible. In the end, Ding Jian started a massacre, killing blood flowed into a river, and then it was implemented. Look at Zhejiang now, Xu Xiang is a talented person, right? Isn't he also frowning now? The great landlords and gentry in the territory took advantage of the current invasion of Rong Hong, Fujian, to unite to rebel. Xu Xiang did not have enough soldiers and was in a mess!"

"Taking money is like killing parents!" Liang Han laughed: "They must be anxious with us."

"Like Ding Taiyi, the people in Qianwen were originally local heroes. Over the years, the wealthy families have made their relationships complicated through a series of means such as marriage, forming a situation where both prosper and loss. Even if Ding Taiyi wants to surrender, those who follow them will not do it! They will definitely force him to fight us." Shi Zhuang said.

"Old man Gongsun talked to me about this situation!" Liang Han looked at Wu Zhuangyuan and Luo Hongxin with some pride. When fighting, Liang Han wanted to suppress Luo Hongxin, but the top martial arts scholar was not only good at fighting. He was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Luo Hongxin. How could Liang Han let it go?

"What did Mr. Gongsun say?"

"It's very simple!" Liang Han spread his hands: "If a person like Ding Taiyi really decides to surrender to us, then with their status, even if he can't become a local emperor in the future, his wealth and wealth can still be maintained. But the rich and powerful landlords who rely on these two people will not be able to become. They will lose money, land, and privileged status. Under our policies, they will become people like ordinary people, and of course they cannot accept it. Who makes them have a small official position and a small influence? Therefore, they must join forces and then compete with Ding Taiji's money article to fight us to the end."

"What if these two people don't follow?"

"Then let's change the leader!" Liang Han smiled and said, "This is not a difficult task for them. Although they seem to be the one who speaks in the money article of Ding Taiyi, they are the role of a local emperor, but if they really turn against these gentry and landlords, they will probably be a matter of a blink of an eye. It is precisely because of understanding this that they have to bite the bullet and do the right thing with us."

"So, their interests determine their height. Since they want to hold Xiang Xun's thigh to fight us, I want to maintain their independence. If they want them to serve Xiang Xun wholeheartedly, it is impossible." Shi Zhuang was a little disdainful: "There are benefits, and they naturally rush up. If there are difficulties, they can naturally hide. In these people's eyes, only family interests, their own honor and disgrace, and that's a half-division of national sentiment? What's the benefit of unifying the world? Only by doing their own things can they maximize their interests. They know that they don't have the ability to become the lord of the world, as long as they keep their own acres of three parts of the land."

"It's really short-sighted." Luo Hongxin had already fully understood at this time. "If this continues, they will eventually be defeated by us."

"So, what we encountered in Guangshui will only be Liu Xinda's troops and Xiang Zhen's main force." Shi Zhuang said: "The reason why I stopped in Xinyang was to give Xiang Zhen enough time to return to E Yue to help. A decisive battle decided to belong to E Yue. Li Xiang didn't want the battle to delay too long. Spring farming was about to begin. We have to seize the last tail of spring. E Yue is a big grain farmer. He missed the spring farming and would have to take relief this year. At that time, Li Xiang's face would definitely be ugly. The Ministry of Revenue looked at us and would definitely kill people. At that time, maybe I would think about digging something from us to make up for the deficit!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

No one has ever discussed the outcome of the decisive battle. Although once all the main forces of Xiang Zhen enter Eyue, they will have an overwhelming advantage over the forces, war is not just about the number of people.

The only thing that made Luo Hongxin a little worried was Guangshui's defenders. After all, they were not large in number and reinforcements were delayed. Once the casualties were too high or even unable to defend Guangshui, there would inevitably be some trouble in the future.

But whether it is Shi Zhuang or Liang Han, he is full of confidence in the troops stationed in Guangshui.

Ren Xiaonian, Ge Cai, Liu Yuan, Qin Chaizi and others were quite famous even in the powerful Northern Tang army. Their commands were all soldiers of war. More importantly, in order to make them fully serve as the thorns in the enemy's eyes and to play the role of their bait, Li Gan sent almost all the powerful things in his army to them.

The Right Qianniu Guard is a big dog among the entire 12 guards of the Northern Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows this, but the other 11 guards' generals could not fight for this, because the former generals of the Right Qianniu Guard were Liu Ruyan. Whenever there was anything good, they always had to tighten the equipment of the Right Qianniu Guard. Even Xia He, the iron rooster, dared not deduct a penny from the Right Qianniu Guard.

Which of the other eleven guards has not been peeled off by Xia He?

Of course, now Li Mi is commanding the Right Qianniu Guard as the General of the Central Army. After Li Mi makes a few more contributions, the position of the General will be her. But the good days of the Right Qianniu Guard are coming to an end. Liu Ruyan and the others dare not fight, so Li Mi will not have this weight.
