Section 23 Coercion and inducement (for EddieH138 book friends

Countless chaotic scenes and faces appeared alternately in Liu Xuan's mind, making it difficult for Liu Xuan to make a choice for a while.

Armed with a bold move to Caizhou? Or raise your hand to win Guangzhou?

Liu Xuan knew very well that the risk of entering Caizhou was infinitely widening, but it was a good opportunity to break the situation.

It seems that the benefits of taking Guangzhou are huge but not damaged. However, once Caizhou withstood this round of attack, it will inevitably make new demands on Guangzhou, which will become a situation of grievance and confusion. If you want to develop in the future, you will be restrained by Caizhou at any time.

With Liu Xuan’s understanding of the Yuan family in Caizhou, he would either have to kill Caizhou in one go, completely eradicate the roots, so that he would never have a chance to turn things around. If he was not sure to kill him in one go, it would be better not to touch the other party easily.

Caizhou 11 counties have fertile land, with a population of nearly three million, even hundreds of thousands more than Nanyang Prefecture. Yuan's family has been operating for decades and has a deep foundation. Otherwise, it would not have dared to have the courage to fight against Daliang.

According to the conditions of Daliang opening, the two families joined forces to destroy Caizhou, Zhenyang, Xinxi, Baoxin, and Xincai's four counties in southern Caizhou, and Yancheng, Shangcai, Ruyang, Pingyu, Xiping, Wufang, and Langshan will return to Daliang. Then the two families can join forces to launch an attack on Yingbo and the two states in the future, Yingzhou will return to Nanyang and Bozhou will return to Daliang.

Moreover, Daliang also vaguely revealed that there were already plans with Huainan, asking the Wu army to send troops to cross Huainan, Sizhou and Haizhou to return to Huainan, and strive to completely defeat Huainan.

But this kind of beautiful outline can only be heard. The situation in Huainan is chaotic, and it is still unknown whether it can send troops to Huainbei. After taking Caizhou, it is also difficult to completely eliminate the influence of the Yuan family in Caizhou.

Seeing that the lord was sometimes frightened and wanted to make a decision, sometimes he struggled and struggled and was difficult to make a decision. The gray-robed scholar also knew that this choice was indeed difficult to make.

The lord is a person with great ambitions. If you just want to be a rich man, why should you go east and take Anzhou in the south so hard? With the rich land of Nanyang and several states, you have been stable for decades, how leisurely you can do it?

The situation is so good now, and the fear of being at ease with a small wealth is the attitude of being at ease again. He always wants to wait and see the difficulties but cannot see the dawn, and then develops a lazy mind. In his opinion, that is the greatest danger.

It is just that the best people act cautiously, but it is also appropriate. The gray-robed scholar also knows that different identities do not have the same perspectives for considering issues, so he can understand it.

"Duke Xuan."

"Well, Ting Dao?" As if he was awakened from the nightmare by a gray-robed scholar, Liu Xuan shook his head and let out a long breath of turbid air. Liu Kui next to him also felt that his father seemed extremely tired, so he quickly served a teacup, and Liu Xuan picked it up and drank it all.

"Mr. Xuan, I don't think so. Are you very optimistic about Jiang Feng? Since this guy is so cunning, why not wait until he leaves Yuchi Wubing, and secretly invite him to come to Mr. Xuan to ask about the truth before making a decision." The gray-robed Confucian suggested.

"Well, that's it, Kui'er, take someone to Yuchi Wujian to wait, don't be discovered, lead Jiang Feng to come, be careful not to conflict with him, just report my name, he will naturally understand." Liu Xuan nodded.

"My father, what if he wants to escape?" Liu Kui was very confused about his father's attention to Jiang Feng and couldn't help asking.

In his opinion, a small character who has just entered the heaven realm and a lucky person with good luck. If he wants to solve it, why should he be so serious about every minute and every second?

My father invited him to look down on him, so how could he dare to take over?

"Hmph, if Jiang Feng is like this, then he is not worthy of reaching the position he is today. Go and get to know each other, and there may be some time to deal with him in the future."

Liu Xuan frowned and sighed. His son, who was not bad at literature and martial arts, had no bad reputation, but his temperament had learned a lot of his arrogance when he was young, which was not a good sign.

*********************************************************************

At this time, the atmosphere in Huaiyuan Hall was solemn, as if it was stalemate.

Huaiyuan Hall is a private house in Yangxinzhai, Liu Tong, the Nanyang Jingliu Mansion.

Yangxinzhai is less than 300 steps away from the Jingliuzhi Mansion. It is located in a quiet alley diagonally opposite the square outside the Guandi Temple. The pavilions are towering, corridors and water pavilions are circling around. The ancient trees are vast. It is an excellent summer resort in summer and is not allowed to stay unless guests are allowed.

Guests from the Li family in Guanzhong usually choose to stay here, which shows Liu Tong's respect for the Li family.

"Erlang, what are you still worried about?!" Yuchi Wubing's eyes became a little more sharp, and he pressed his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly.

"Guangzhou is originally the Xu family's land. It can be said that it is a perfect return to Zhao, right? What can Liu Xuan say? You are afraid that Liu Xuan will attack Guangzhou, and Du Li is willing to lead a thousand cavalry to help you defend the city. I, and Xue Chan, can also take charge of the formation for you. If you lack weapons and armor, Huangzhou will transport you immediately, money, silver, food, and Guanzhong will raise it for you. What are you still hesitating about in these conditions?"

Jiang Feng seemed a little unbearable under Yuchi Wubing's sharp gaze, and bowed and said embarrassedly: "Master Yuchi, it's not that he is a kid who is pretentious, but the Gushi Army is too weak and difficult to bear the overall situation. This envoy from Caizhou is here, and I believe he knows the tragic situation of the battle. Although the Caizhou Army did not please, our Gushi Army suffered a lot. He has just completed the replenishment of the new recruits, and the training has just begun. Suddenly, the Gushi Army was about to enter Guangzhou. It was too hasty and abrupt. Once the Nanyang Army attacked, our Gushi Army could not deal with it at all."

Yuchi Wubing's eyes fluttered and he paused heavily, "Erlang, don't go around with us anymore. If you have any requirements, you can make it. As long as we can satisfy them, you can try to satisfy them."

Jiang Feng also complained in his heart that Li's family seemed to have been having too smoothly on the matter of rushing to put the shelves. He never thought of taking over Guangzhou to fight Liu Xuan. He finally saved up some of his possessions and wanted to face Liu Xuan's army, but he was afraid that he would disappear immediately.

Yuchi Wubing was so vague that he, Xue Chan and Du Li came to help defend the city. When Liu Xuan's army came, they could leave as soon as they could not defend them. Du Li led the cavalry and could also snatch the horses away. He could only leave the Gushi Army here, and he would never do such unwise things.

But if I don’t agree here today, I’m afraid I can’t get rid of it. I’m sorry for Yuchi Wubian, and I’m afraid it’s rare to get approval from Chang’an. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng was worried. It seems that this mess of muddy waters was really a mistake?

"Mr. Yuchi, you and I know all the consequences of entering Guangzhou. I just received food, weapons and armor from Xuan Gong, and I was about to fight against Xuan Gong. Is this appropriate? I, Jiang Feng, have become the one who will repay kindness and revenge?" Jiang Feng said slowly.

"Erlang's words are wrong. Guangzhou has no relationship with Nanyang, so how can he argue with Liu Xuan? It is said that Guangzhou was originally the place of Xu, but now the Xu family no longer exists. You were originally from Xu, so it would be natural to take over Guangzhou. If Liu Xuan invaded Guangzhou, he would have lost his morality!"

Du Li was prepared and immediately refuted Jiang Feng's words.

"Erlang, Gwangju is the place where you were born. As far as I know, there are also a large number of Gwangju gentry staying in Gushi. Now the Yuan family is willing to return Gwangju, including all the houses and fields that were originally returned. I believe you can immediately gain the support of Gwangju gentry. Even if Liu Xuan invades, you will have the people's hearts."

Yuchi Wubing also seemed particularly gentle and sincere at this time, which made Jiang Feng look at him.

"As for Gushi, if you shake hands with Caizhou and make peace, everything will be over. The ant thieves in Shouzhou cannot return to Gushi, right? There are no enemies around you, so why can't your Gushi army move to Guangzhou? Do you still miss the white land of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan counties?"

"Master Yuchi, that's different." Jiang Feng said calmly: "Gwangzhou is beautiful, but I have no foundation. Although Gushi is broken, its city defense system is created by me one by one. I can say without exaggeration that even if the Caizhou army attacks Gushi again, I can still let him return in vain. But what about Guangzhou? If Nanyang attacks, how can I respond to the enemy? Brother Du, a thousand cavalry, and the military generals you brought with you, can only barely help me deal with Nanyang martial arts masters. However, the attacks and camps are ultimately done by the soldiers. It is too dangerous to defend Guangzhou with my little force."

"Erlang, what do you mean?" Yuchi Wubing said in a deep voice. He was unwilling to circle around Jiang Feng.

"Mr. Yuchi, I understand the purpose of your Gushi Army entering Guangzhou. It is nothing more than asking my Gushi Army to restrain the Xuan Gong army. But I want to ask, even if the Gushi Army enters Guangzhou, Xuan Gong will be restrained and will not advance to Caizhou?" Jiang Feng asked casually: "I think this goal may not be achieved."

Jiang Feng's straightforward words made Yuchi Wubing's old face feel hot.

However, he is also a worldly old man, and he is not surprised by this kind of scene. He nodded: "Erlang is so frank, but I feel a little ashamed."

"That's right, the Gushi Army's power is indeed difficult to play a little role in Liu Xuan's tens of thousands of troops. If Liu Xuan decides to use troops in Caizhou, he will still send troops. However, Caizhou stationed 5,000 troops in Guangzhou, can free up his hands to move to Caizhou's local defense, and can always play some role. As for Liu Xuan who really wants to attack Caizhou for the most tyrants, I think he will feel the feeling of being betrayal of his relatives and being attacked from all sides, and will also make him understand that if Guanzhong does not mediate for him, he will be nothing!"
