Section 34 Finding the right location

Jiang Feng did not have much contact with Zhang Huang and other representatives of the tribesmen. In addition to understanding the current situation in Guangzhou City, Jiang Feng was more willing to appease the other party, hoping that the other party would be mentally prepared. After the Gushi Army took over the leadership of Guangzhou, he could help the Gushi Army quickly stabilize the situation in Guangzhou and restore it to its previous state before it was occupied by the Yuan family.

In fact, these gentry in Gwangju City are still more or less aware of the current situation. Since the curfew a month ago, Gwangju City has been in a suffocating state.

There were very few people on the streets, and even the shops were mostly opened for half a day. After the battle against Gushu, the entire Guangzhou City adopted an extremely strict entry and exit registration system, which made the gentry in the city think a lot.

The news that the Caizhou army failed outside Gushi City was spreading among the gentry, but the gentry did not know what the battle was like.

But one thing they knew was that from that time on, the gentry of Caizhou who came from Caizhou began to take over the store that was left after Yuan Huaifang's family was confiscated and exterminated, and the mansions and lands were in peace.

The gentry from Caizhou, which had been promoted in a big way, had completely stopped the matter of exile and procuratorial areas that had been promoted in a big way. Recently, it was reported that these gentry began to sell the mansions and land and forests that were originally sold from the governor's mansion. Some even found that horse, carriage, donkey teams were successively transported into and out of the city gate at night.

All signs indicate that Gwangju may welcome a new master, so these gentry quietly left the city after Zhang Huang issued the invitation.

During the entire meeting, Jiang Feng listened more to the confession and venting of these gentry representatives.

In the past few months, they were trembling, fearing that Yuan would randomly be charged, and then they would confiscate their homes and be sentenced to prison. All family property was confiscated and sold. This kind of thing happened repeatedly after Yuan Huaifang took over Guangzhou, making all the gentry in the city silent.

Now everything is about to change, and the nightmare scenes that make people finally turn over. Although they don’t know if there will be other people who will continue to turn pages in the near future after turning this page, at least they don’t need to face the domineering and cruel Yuan family anymore.

Whether it is this little scout who was unknown to the city of Guangzhou more than half a year ago, or Liu Xuan, who may come as a new master in Nanyang, will definitely not be more terrifying than Yuan.

Seeing these people disappear one after another one after another, Jiang Feng then whipped his horse.

"Wanshan, do you think these people will welcome me back to Gwangju?" Jiang Feng always had a faint smile on his lips, "I feel that many people seem to be dissatisfied with their feelings."

Zhang Wanshan caught up with the horse's belly. He is now increasingly adapting to the style of this boss, especially when he is tactful and harsh in his view of the problem. As Jiang Feng himself said, he has the greatest hope, does his best to make the worst plans. These three sentences have made Zhang Wanshan chew countless times, and feels that it has endless meaning.

"Sir, I think this is understandable. They are not ignorant of the complex relationship between us and Nanyang, and the strength of Liu Xuan's power. In contrast, our Gushi Army has too thin foundations. Even if we defeated the Caizhou Army, many people may think it was a lucky draw."

Zhang Wanshan also told the truth. After so long, he knew that this master did not like Xuyan.

"On the road, my uncle also asked me with great concern. When joining Nanyang, he made various requests to the Gwangju gentry. What should they do? I did not give a positive answer, just said that you will handle such things well, sir."

"How can one sentence be used to dispel their concerns?" Jiang Feng looked ahead and rode his horse quickly. "In the final analysis, our Gushi Army did not really establish an invincible image in the minds of these people. To achieve this, we need continuous victory to accumulate. It was precisely because the Caizhou Army passed many wars with Daliang and snatched Nanchenzhou from Daliang, which won the recognition and respect of the surrounding vassals. Nanyang has not really achieved this, let alone us."

Zhang Wanshan agreed with Jiang Feng's words, but he also had different opinions.

"Sir, our Gushi Army has only been more than half a year since its founding. If we compare with the Nanyang Army or the Caizhou Army, it would be too harsh. In just half a year, we have experienced two extremely fierce battles. In each war, our losses exceeded 30% of the war. However, this did not defeat us, but instead made our fighting will stronger and also attracted more people to join our Gushi Army. I think this is worthy of our pride!"

"Wanshan, do you think I am too demanding on ourselves?"

Jiang Feng admires Zhang Yue's distant nephew, who is flexible but not blindly following. He can use his own mind to consider problems and not change because of his own attitude. This is particularly rare.

Perhaps this kid is limited to talent and can't achieve great success in martial arts, but he can completely make up for it in these aspects.

In the future, with the growth of Gushi Army, the need for talents will be of many aspects. It is good to have excellent martial arts skills, but if it is insufficient, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is clear-headed, long-term, proficient in analysis, and good at learning and absorption. These are all Zhang Wanshan's strengths.

In particular, Zhang Wanshan is very good at combining magic weapons. For example, the combination of magic weapons in his own guards was explored by Zhang Wanshan. Even Deng Guinian and Luo Zhen said that Zhang Wanshan is talented in this regard.

Jiang Feng's question made Zhang Wanshan difficult to answer, so he could only lower his head.

"It's not that I'm demanding, but that the severe reality forces us to do this. To be honest, I don't want to intervene in Guangzhou. I just want to honestly build the Wenzhou I planned in Gushi. There are the sources of militia in Yingzhou and Shouzhou, the money, food, weapons and armor supported by Daliang, Nanyang and Huangzhou, and the large tracts of land in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan counties. Our Gushi army can rest and recuperate for a year on this basis. In this year, I can build the Gushi city defense system and polish this army. In this case, I can choose the development direction with ease. Whether it's Shouzhou, Yingzhou, Huangzhou, or Guangzhou, how comfortable it is to make a decision at that time? Can the conditions allow it? Are you growing and growing, will people sit back and watch your development without paying attention?"

Jiang Feng spread his hands, "No, people won't give you this time. They are not stupid. It is safest to kill danger in the bud. Wanshan, you must remember that the strength of each army is based on the failure of other troops around, and the rise of every vassal clan is on the bodies of other forces. They all understand this principle, Daliang is like this, Caizhou is like this, we must not be the stepping stone for others, and we can only go this way."

Zhang Wanshan was also excited. After a long time, he said muffled: "Nanyang is far stronger than our Gushi Army. Wouldn't we have to give in? Now we are stationed in Guangzhou and then withdrawn from Guangzhou. What does the Gwangju gentry view us? This will have a great impact on the prestige of our Gushi Army. Instead of doing so, it is better to refuse!"

"Some things are not something we can't do if we don't want to do. If we don't move in, maybe Chang'an will set up a trap for us in Xizhou, and the Du family will no longer provide us with money and food support. So we know that it is a trap for people to move into Guangzhou, and we have to step in." Jiang Feng said calmly: "What's more, although this is a trap, a trap may not be an opportunity."

After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Zhang Wanshan's eyes lit up again, "Sir, do you mean we are still possible to take Gwangju?"

"Even if there is a glimmer of chance, we can try it, right?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile: "We don't have any rewards, but if you don't give, there will definitely be no rewards. So I am willing to take this bet, not to mention that on the other hand, we have already given the bet for us, so why don't we do it?"

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

Seeing his cousin in military uniform, Xu Ning could not understand the other party's attitude at all and could not speak for a moment.

"Xiao Ning, I think you may need to calm yourself down. Yes, I am the Xu family, but before that, I was the first of all the military capital of the Second Army of Gushi Army, and I was temporarily responsible for the training of the Second Army. Before the training of the Second Army reached the predetermined effect, I had no right to leave the barracks without authorization." Xu Ziqing stood in front of the hall and shook his head: "It should be said that I saw that you had violated the military discipline in the barracks at this time. I still need to explain the situation to Lord Jiang later."

"Xiao Ning, you don't have to look at me with this kind of eyes. I am very clear. The original Xu family in Guangzhou has become a thing of the past. The Xu family now needs to find a new self-position. This is what I need to warn you, especially your current identity. I think you have not found it right yet, or it is a bit misplaced." Xu Ziqing's tone was a little more serious. "Jiang Feng promised his third uncle and our Xu family that you should also perform your own duties. Even if you have not married Jiang Feng yet, but have already agreed, then you have to consider the issue from the identity you agreed upon, instead of considering everything from the perspective of the Xu family. This is very dangerous."

"Brother, what you mean is that I don't even have the right to ask about this matter? Who deprived me of this right? Jiang Feng?" Xu Ning's words were as cold as the ice sword in winter.
