It seemed that he had noticed the complexity of Qin Zaidao's expression, and Jiang Feng's expression gradually became serious, "Are you talking about it, isn't it a bit unacceptable?"

The generals in the hall are core members of the Gushi Army. Although the Gushi Army did not directly participate in the joint battle against Cai between Daliang and Nanyang, the Gushi Third Army's entry into Guangzhou has proved that many things cannot be escaped just by wanting to get rid of.

There are now three armies stationed in Guangzhou City. In name, the Gushi Army controlled Guangzhou, but Liu Xuan's two thousand infantry also entered Guangzhou, and the thousand cavalry in Huangzhou also entered Guangzhou. Only Jiang Feng can enjoy this strange and complex situation, and even enjoy it.

For small forces like the Gushi Army, the more chaotic the situation is, the more complex the relationship is, the more we can live in it. Jiang Feng had already talked to the generals about this. If there were only a few large vassal families left, there would be no room for small forces like the Gushi Army to survive.

Qin Zaidao noticed that the other generals were all focused on him. He shook his head with some difficulty: "I just felt a little big, well, I feel like this world seems to have changed too much. Today's enemies, tomorrow's friends, today's drinking and swords are we going to welcome you tomorrow. Do we have to adapt to this transformation?"

Jiang Feng was not able to answer this question for a while, but he knew that if this question was not answered well, it would also have some impact on the mentality of the generals.

It may be tactical to be tactful, but this kind of behavior of today's enemy and allies tomorrow, and the way of slashing behind tomorrow is probably difficult to accept in this era, especially the warriors who are influenced by traditional mentality.

"Along the way, sometimes in order to survive, we may have to do something that may be emotionally unacceptable, but I want to emphasize that our Gushi Army has the bottom line of our Gushi Army and will not take the initiative to betray the alliance. Nanyang is not our ally. Nanyang and us are just a pure exchange of interests. Otherwise, Liu Xuan would not know the importance of Guangzhou to our Gushi Army, but ignored our feelings and stationed directly in Guangzhou. Allies would not do this."

Jiang Feng pondered his words for a while and continued to explain.

"The assistance from Nanyang did not give us a lot of favor, but it needed us to balance the impact of Caizhou's annexation of Guangzhou on its eastward strategy. From Liu Xuan's annexation of Shenzhou, he actually determined his goal to become the overlords across Shannan East and Huainan Road. All he had to do now is to advance the steps according to his established goals."

"Sir, do you mean that Nanyang has had such a plan for a long time?" Ju Shen couldn't help but interrupt and asked.

"Yes, annexation of Shenzhou is only their first step. This is also a reasonable division of labor made by Liu Tong and Liu Xuan for their future hegemony foundation." Ju Shen's interest was just right, and Jiang Feng nodded, which was helping him.

"You can see from the map that Nanyang's capture of Shenzhou may be too weak. It was caught off guard and was annexed by the powerful Nanyang. But what about Anzhou? You should know that Anzhou and Mianzhou have always been the sphere of influence of the Du family in the E-Huang and Mianzhou. The reason why the Du family did not annex Anzhou and Mianzhou was largely because they felt that Anzhou and Mianzhou were not much different from being included in the Du family. You can all see what posture did the Nanyang army take Anzhou in the same way? It is not enough to describe it. It is basically not bloodless. The Anzhou army is not weak. The state army alone has four armies and ten thousand people, and there are two armies of the Ya army. It is hard to say that the army went south had only more than 20,000 people, and almost without the battle of Xiangyang, the entire Anzhou army was defeated directly. The E-Huang and Du family did not even have time to react."

All the generals here were attracted by Jiang Feng's analysis, including Qin Zaidao.

"Look at it, after taking Anzhou, Nanyang actually had the opportunity to take Mianzhou together, but Nanyang did not do so. Instead, he deliberately waited for Ehuang to send troops to Mianzhou. Even the Du family in Hubei and Huang to send troops to Mianzhou, which caused some local riots. It is really unimaginable that the Nanyang army outside the territory invaded Anzhou and captured it without bloodshed. Mianzhou, which has always been under the control of the Du family, would fiercely oppose the Du family's defensive advance. Is there nothing worth exploring here?"

"Sir, it seems that Nanyang has already made a fortune in Anzhou and Mianzhou at least many years ago." Yang Kan also continued: "Apart from this reason, it is difficult to explain the strange behavior of Anzhou and Mianzhou."

"Yes, everyone knows that Anzhou and Mianzhou are the sphere of influence of the Du family. As far as I know, in order to deal with the Xiangyang Xiao family in the south, Nanyang even had a flirting with the Ehuang Du family, hoping that the Du family could put pressure on Xiangyang Yingzhou through Anzhou. Although the two families did not form an alliance, they were actually no different from their allies. But in a blink of an eye, Nanyang slapped the Du family hard. This is why this time the Du family was furious and would rather give us such great support than destroy Nanyang's plan to attack Cai, because the Du family knew that once Nanyang and Daliang joined forces to attack Cai successfully, not only Caizhou would be over, but their Du family would not be able to survive, and it could even be said that they were about to collapse."

The view raised by Jiang Feng shocked the generals here again. If the Du family has not had a good life, it would be understandable, but it seems a bit exaggerated.

"Everyone must be a little incomprehensible. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that I just said that Nanyang has the opportunity to take Mianzhou but not. Why? They need to leave a lead to force the Du family in Ehuang and Huang to station a large army in Mianzhou. Everyone can see that the situation in Mianzhou is narrow and flat, and it is at a low position. Once the Nanyang army launches an attack, Mianzhou will be in an absolutely disadvantageous position. But if Ehuang and Huang do not station the army, you will take the initiative to surrender Mianzhou to Nanyang, and Ehuang will also lose the bridgehead north of Mianzhou, south of Han River."

Jiang Feng seemed to have spoken his temperament, and his tone became more excited. "Now Liu Xuan led the army to attack Cai. I judged that he did not even want to divide Caizhou. Instead, he wanted to hone the army through the attack on Cai, and formed a relatively stable alliance with Daliang, and then exchanged Daliang's support for its expansion eastward and south through Caizhou. This is also in line with Daliang's strategic intention. Daliang took Caizhou to make up for this link and became the well-deserved overlord of the Central Plains. Liu Xuan could go south from Guangzhou, advance from Anzhou eastward, annex Huangzhou and Qizhou in one fell swoop, and then get involved in Shouzhou, Shuzhou, and the Huaihe River may become the natural dividing line between Daliang and Liu Xuan. This is Liu Xuan's hegemonic strategy, but we Gushi was blocking the road to his hegemonic strategy, so he would kick us away without hesitation."

As Jiang Feng's fingers moved on the slightly simple but grand map, the generals' eyes had already traveled from Suizhou to the west to the east, crossing Shenzhou, Anzhou, Guangzhou, and Huangzhou to Qizhou to the east, and then Shouzhou and Shuzhou.

If it is true as Jiang Feng said, the vassal state that spans the entire Shannan East Road and Huainan Road and dominates the vast land between the Huai River and the Jiang River will appear before our eyes.

It can be said that most of the Huainan Road will fall into the hands of Liu Xuan. Even once Liu Xuan achieves his power, he will take advantage of the situation to go east and take over Luzhou, Haozhou, Hezhou and Chuzhou.

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. Judging from the current situation, Nanyang has taken the first step and annexed Shenzhou and Anzhou. Guangzhou is also between the two. Once the attack on Cai is successful, Guangzhou will definitely win.

As for the weakness of the Ehuang Du family, everyone thinks that it will be a matter of time before the Qi and Huang states change hands. It depends on whether the Du family can rely on the river waters and the advantage of the Ehuang Du family's naval army to defend the Ezhou area.

"Sir, if it is really as you described, then Liu Xuan's climate will be established, and it seems that it will be difficult for us Gushi to survive. There must be variables here, right?" Yang Kan asked the first question.

"Of course, the war itself is full of variables. Just now I just described the best vision of Nanyang. If it is really as Liu Xuan thought, what are we still here to do? Just surrender." Jiang Feng laughed, "Although Liu Xuan's ambition is good, there are still many obstacles and variables. The first variable is the Nanyang Army's journey to attack Cai. The Nanyang Army has not been tempered by real war. How effective is the Nanyang Army's combat effectiveness? Judging from the news that some time ago, it is probably not satisfactory. In the battle of Baigou City, the Nanyang Army surrounded Baigou City with its superior forces. Even though Baigou City is a strong city, the Caizhou Army can stand firm for many days and leave calmly. The combat power of the Nanyang Army is doubtful."

"This is probably one of the main reasons why Liu Xuan wants to launch a large army to attack Cai? If an army is not tempered and triumphantly, it will be difficult to become a weapon. Liu Xuan is a master of this, so he should understand this principle." Ding Man also continued.

"So we cannot let it succeed in this step, otherwise our Gushi army will be kicked out by Nanyang, and everything we have done before will become Liu Xuan's stepping stone." Jiang Feng said decisively: "Give it the necessary blow, making it difficult for it to achieve full results, and then forcing it to give up Guangzhou. This is our purpose. Of course, we cannot let it defeat it. The best result is to let it defeat Caizhou in ruins and then fail, so that we can win the time and space for development with ease."

"Sir, even if Nanyang fails, Daliang may not fail." Xu Ziqing asked.
