The way of iron and blood? Cui Shang smiled bitterly again.

This lord is really worried. Shouzhou is not stable yet, but it is time to talk about Tiehe Blood. What is Tiehe Blood? Isn’t it just a matter of war?

Indeed, in Shouzhou, Guangxi and Shoulian were integrated into one, and the strategic depth suddenly opened up. Whether it was going to fight or responding to the battle, there was more room for room for it.

The land of Huaiyou is too half of which is fertile land. As long as there is a peaceful situation for three to five years, the land of Huaiyou can become a land of fish and rice.

Especially after the lord clearly proposed to completely build the Shouzhou official kiln, it opened up the path of Chang'an Hu Shang. With the support of money and silver, these are not difficult.

If it can really be slowed down for two years, the Huaiyou land can support tens of thousands of soldiers. At that time, they can advance and attack and retreat and defend, and they can be at ease. But now they have to launch more weapons, and there will be many problems.

Seeing Cui Shang's expression, Jiang Feng knew that Cui Shang thought the situation in Shouzhou was not optimistic, and he tended to be stable and did not agree with the view that war would be launched in the short term.

But in Jiang Feng's view, the more unstable the situation in Shouzhou is, the more a war is needed to resolve existing problems.

The unstable situation in Shouzhou is that the three surnames of Umeda still control some of the military power to a certain extent. Although they surrender to themselves on the surface, this is just the attitude of the upper class. In the middle and lower class, this recognition is not high.

In particular, many of the Umeda family's children still feel disgusted and hostile about their entry into Shouzhou, but they are limited by the general trend and are powerless to change.

Although the issue of loyalty has been initially solved by exchanging posts, the combat effectiveness of the navy has been weakened, and there is still a long way to go to make it truly become the Huaiyou Navy.

Therefore, Jiang Feng believes that to allow it to merge quickly, it can only establish a common foreign enemy for the entire Huai You Army through foreign wars, allowing them to unite under external pressure, respond together, and promote the integration of this army through a war.

Even though there may be some price to pay, Jiang Feng thinks it is worth it, especially when Wu is in chaos and the time is not to be missed.

"Bai Ling, but what are you worried about?"

Jiang Feng knew that his planner was also trying his best to plan for him.

To be honest, if it weren't for the opportunity of civil strife in Wu, he would have been more inclined to achieve the integration of the Huai You Army in a more prudent and gradual manner in two or three years.

But civil strife in Wu is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even Qin Quan and other ants thieves would rather stay in Huaibei than cross the Huai River, just waiting for the opportunity of civil strife in Wu.

If you don’t join in with such an opportunity, it would be a waste of resources.

Cui Shang pondered for a while, but still couldn't agree with Jiang Feng's opinion.

Of course he understood what Jiang Feng thought, but this was another adventure. He was afraid that his lord would become a habit to take risks. He felt that the adventure was successful every time, and then he felt that it would be unfavorable. Once this adventure failed, it might be the beginning of the collapse of the group that he had finally established.

"Lord, are you planning to let the Shouzhou Army consume it on the battlefield?"

Jiang Feng looked at Cui Shang in surprise and shook his head, "Bai Ling, how could you have such a view? Since the Shouzhou Army has already belonged to the Huai You Army, it is naturally my subordinate and will fight for me in the future. How could I have this idea?"

"But if you do this, I'm afraid the Shouzhou Army will have this idea." Cui Shang said bluntly.

Jiang Feng frowned. He had not thought about this issue. He just wanted to eliminate these worries of the Shouzhou Army. He had not thought of a better way.

This kind of worry and fear cannot be eliminated in the short term, nor can it be solved by just some words. Originally, Shouzhou won it in this way, but now it is of course very difficult to gain their trust in such a short period of time.

It's a matter of time.

Sometimes even Jiang Feng himself was thinking that he had been working one after another for more than a year, from Gushi to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Guangxi and the other two states, and now it has become the three states of Guangxi and Xuzhou. This continuous expansion and expansion has obviously made the so-called Huaiyou Army feel a little indigestion.

Even when taking the step of sending troops to Shouzhou, it was obviously a huge adventure. It can be said that there was a slight mistake here, which was a disaster-like failure.

From myself to the generals under my command, I seem to have been addicted to this exciting adventure. The repeated victories have caused some kind of pride and inflated mentality in these people.

From the initial success of Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue, Huang Anjin and others in resisting the siege of the ant thief, to the victory of the Caizhou army with Yang Kan, Ding Man and others in fighting against the invasion of the Caizhou army, and even to the final successful attack on the Nanyang army, everyone felt that all this seemed natural and natural, so they took such a big step when they rushed into Shouzhou.

Even Choi Sang, who has always been cautious, showed signs of impulse, but fortunately Choi Sang has calmed down again now.

Cui Shang is now worried about his impulse and risk, which makes Jiang Feng a little difficult to explain for a while.

Can you say that you are very calm and rational now? Do you say that you don’t want to launch any more war? I’m afraid Cui Shang won’t believe it either.

Indeed, Shouzhou was a bit risky in this battle, and there were too many possible mistakes in the middle. If it weren't for the previous few wars that allowed the Hanzhou army to win a complete victory, which inspired the morale and confidence of the Hanzhou army, Jiang Feng probably wouldn't have dared to make this decision that was almost gambling.

Even Xu Ning was a little lost in the continuous victory, so he came to cheer up the army of the Hanzhou army on the brink of justice.

Moreover, Jiang Feng also felt that without Xu Ning's usurpation, Cui Shang and Yang Kan would probably be difficult to make this decision.

Now the old Zhouzhou army is full of desire to seek greater military achievements, hoping to achieve greater results. In their opinion, all the surrounding prefectures and counties should be included in the current Huaiyou Army's conquest.

Yingbo in Huaibei was influenced by the army's strength and the middle, and was covered in dust by a group of ant thieves. Can the Huaiyou Army consider a share of the pie?

In the civil strife in Wu, who can miss such a good opportunity?

Shuzhou is lonely and the Zhou family has never been passed down by force, but it is simply a fat meat placed by the mouth of the Huai Youjun!

Even prefectures and counties like Huangzhou and Qizhou seem to have become waste in the hands of the weak E-Huang Du family, and should be handed over to the Huai Youjun.

Everyone selectively ignored the discomfort caused by the rapid expansion of the Huai You Army.

And no matter how much you calculate it, if you add the naval army, the Huai You Army will only have about 20,000 troops.

This also includes the five thousand navy troops with very doubtful combat power. Because the five infantry and fangs that still need to be integrated in time, as well as the cavalry that urgently needs to be replenished in war horses, all of this is difficult to achieve an ideal state without a year or two or even two or three years to integrate.

Cui Shang saw this, especially the magic circle defense ability displayed by the Shouzhou army in the Battle of Shouzhou, which made him realize that under the halo of the seemingly invincible and invincible Huaiyou Army, there were actually hidden worries everywhere. At the end of the strong crossbow, his power could not penetrate Lu silk. This sentence should be very suitable for the current Huaiyou Army.

"Well, according to your opinion, what should we do now?"

Jiang Feng was also a little upset. It was very uncomfortable to watch the fat on his mouth but couldn't put it in. It was probably even more uncomfortable to see Yang Kan, Zhang Yue, Ding Man, Zhang Ting and others.

"Lord, I'm very hesitant and contradictory now." A look of distress also appeared on Cui Shang's face.

"Now, everyone is restless. I always thought Yang Kan was quite calm, but yesterday I came to tell me what happened to Shuzhou, what happened to Luzhou, what happened to Haozhou, what happened to Haozhou. I was thinking about how to make these guys not be so arrogant and not have such a big appetite. I underestimate the people of the world, and the result was that I was bleeding from the head."

Cui Shang's words also made Jiang Feng feel the same.

During this period, Yang Kan was still better, such as Dingman, Zhang Yue, Xu Ziqing, Ju Shen and others, all of whom were full of enthusiasm and thought that Shouzhou was just like this, so I was afraid that the prefectures and counties in the left and right areas of Huai were roughly similar. Once the situation in Wu changed, the right army of Huai could of course enter in large quantities and swallow whales and erode.

"Also, I think our understanding of the Huai Zuo Land is too simple. A Shouzhou cannot explain anything. Moreover, I have been analyzing the Battle of Shouzhou in the past few days. I think the luck is very important for us to win so easily. There are many accidents and uncertainties here. As long as we have an accident in any of them, we may lose our efforts." Cui Shang pondered for a moment and looked at Jiang Feng: "Master, I think we may not be able to talk about anything else now, but should pour cold water on everyone, pick some faults, and find the gaps."

Jiang Feng took a deep breath. He finally understood where the root of his irritability and anxiety was the root of his pride and optimism that was full of all the troops.

That is, everyone believes that the land of Huai Zuo will be the same as Shouzhou, and the right army of Huai can take over Luzhou, Haozhou and Shuzhou, and even further away Chuzhou, Hezhou and Xuanzhou.

The question is whether you know the specific situation of these prefectures and counties? What will happen if you send troops rashly?

It is indeed time to pour a scoop of cold water on everyone, including myself. Of course, the cold water needs to be supported by a sufficiently convincing basis, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect, which will make the atmosphere in the army even more disharmonious.
