Chapter 8 Dream!
"If the Huai You Army feels that it is easy to take Shouzhou, it can take Luzhou and Haozhou like Shouzhou, and it may be in trouble. Especially Luzhou, which was originally the place where Yang Xingmi started his family and had heavy troops. Even if there is civil strife, it is estimated that the troops stationed in Luzhou will be difficult to draw in battle, unless they are really fighting to the point of immortality." Wang Miao pondered for a moment, and a look of memories appeared on his face, as if he was thinking, "Of course, it is not ruled out that the civil strife in Wu may reach this state. After all, the cruelty of civil strife is sometimes even more than that of foreign wars."
"Jiulang means that if the civil strife in Wu really reaches this level, such as the army in Luzhou and Haozhou was transferred away, our Huaiyou Army would take action?" Jiang Feng asked in a hurry.
"No, this is the second point I want to say. Even so, the Huai You Army still does not have the conditions to send troops to Wu, because I think that taking Shouzhou is already a limit for the Huai You Army. The digestive ability of the Huai You Army, especially the ability to clean up and integrate the local area, is far from keeping up, or because the time is too short, the strategy of procuring the territory can indeed firmly grasp the army. However, the expansion of war is not only based on the army, but money, grain and military funds are the key. The same kind of control of the place also requires a lot of consumption. I think I am afraid that the adults are already in short supply in this regard, right?"
Jiang Feng felt that this guy was really spared no effort to hit his confidence and did not give him any face, but he had to admit that the other party had mentioned his pain, and Huai Youjun was not fully prepared in many aspects.
Seeing that Jiang Feng did not answer his question, Wang Miao didn't care and continued: "Maybe the adults also realized the other foreign enemies mentioned by someone. I want to say something here. Although the adults accepted that the imperial officials handed over Guangzhou and turned it into a barrier, it was not safe at all for Nanyang or Caizhou, especially Caizhou. As long as they were willing, they had a hundred ways to solve this situation. For example, Caizhou directly bypassed Guangzhou and crossed south from Huai River. When the Huai You Army's army was restrained in Haozhou and Luzhou, what would we do to resist Caizhou? It might turn into a difficult situation, and it could not be withdrawn there, and it would be handed over here and fight!"
"Jiulang thinks there are signs of Caizhou going south in the near future?" Jiang Feng attached great importance to this issue. If Caizhou really wants to take over Xuzhou again, it would be really too hot.
"Caizhou suffered a lot in the battle with Daliang last year, but the Yuan family's ruling foundation in Caizhou was very stable, far better than the adults' dominance in Guangxi Shou, so the combat power of Caizhou was restored relatively quickly. Although someone was just a guest official in Caizhou and had never participated in the secrets, he could also know something from what he saw and heard in daily life. Caizhou's strategy of expansion will not change. Daliang is now unable to provoke a war, so he can only go east and south. Yingzhou has the greatest possibility, and it is not ruled out that the Qingzhou will be determined according to the situation. Moreover, I believe that the court may also have a tacit attitude towards Yuan's capture of Wuzhou and even happy to see it. After all, Caizhou's capture of Wuzhou has lost its foundation, and Shouzhou may not be able to defend it. Guangzhou naturally belongs to the court. Why not do it?"
Wang Miao's words were heartbroken, but they were all possible things, which made Jiang Feng feel a little scared.
If the Huai You Army really falls into the battle situation in Luzhou and Haozhou, and Caizhou soldiers invade Xizhou, they really have no way to fight it. Once Xizhou is lost, Guangzhou is blocked and he will definitely return to the court. Guanzhong is probably happy to be so happy, right?
For the court, it would be a good thing to take back a prefecture and county and fall from the sky.
Jiang Feng's face gradually became gloomy. Wang Miao's idea might have some subtle differences from what he knew, but Jiang Feng knew that this possibility not only existed, but even had a high probability.
The intelligence gathering in Luzhou and Haozhou is very powerful, but there is a key and fatal element, that is, the gentry and clan in Luzhou and Haozhou have nothing to do with themselves, and there is no factor that can be used to leverage the power.
It can be said that if it weren't for the decisive factor that Zheng's defeat in the battle with Umeda, it would be difficult for Shouzhou to take it, but this kind of thing would obviously not be repeated in Luzhou and Haozhou.
The combat effectiveness of the Huai You Army is not as optimistic as that of the Huai You Army.
Wang Miao's words came to the nail on the head. What is the field combat power of the Huai You Army?
The cruelty of the siege battle has not been truly experienced. Can the Huai Right Army be as tenacious as the defensive battle?
Jiang Feng felt that it was not optimistic.
More importantly, the three prefectures in Huaiyou are in the territory. Even besides Consciousness, the control of the two prefectures of Shishou is not strong. To put it bluntly, his rule in Shouzhou is not stable, and the resistance of the three surnames of Umeda Zheng has not been truly cleared. This requires a process.
If you start a war rashly, there is nothing to say about the war going smoothly. Once you fall into an unfavorable situation, will the three surnames of Shouzhou still be so obedient?
If you can't chew too much, this sentence is probably suitable for the current Huaiyou Army. Jiang Feng thought with self-deprecating thoughts, but the opportunity in front of him was so rare that Jiang Feng was extremely depressed.
"What Jiulang said is very reasonable. I also know that there are still many shortcomings and problems in the Huaiyou Army. In fact, I also know that giving the Huaiyou Army two or three years to slowly accumulate, the Huaiyou Army can become more powerful. But does Jiulang think that I should give up the opportunity of civil strife in Wu? I don't believe that Jiulang cannot see this opportunity and how important it is to Huaiyou. Once I miss it, it may no longer be there. If I get it from other families, it may become a major disaster for Huaiyou in the future."
Jiang Feng did not hide his feelings in front of Wang Miao and said his own thoughts.
"And, the Huaiyou is like sailing against the current, and if we don't advance, we will retreat. We are growing stronger. But if our enemies grow faster, it also means we are hind, because once the enemy thinks the time is ripe, they can solve us, and they will not let us go just because we are not ready to accumulate enough."
The sense of crisis in Jiang Feng's words made Wang Miao's silent.
There is no doubt that the Huai Right Army is now facing two major enemies, Caizhou and Nanyang, and especially Caizhou.
If Huaiyou stops and accumulates and digests slowly, and Caizhou's in full swing strategy swallows Huaibei, Caizhou's own digestive ability is obviously far stronger than Huaiyou.
If the land in Yingbo falls into Caizhou's hands, it is probably possible that Caizhou's strength will soon expand.
Where would Caizhou point the blade at that time? I'm afraid Caizhou will think that Huaiyou is even more troublesome. When they have the strength to solve Huaiyou, they will definitely pounce on without hesitation, and may even join forces with Nanyang to pounce on without hesitation.
Huaiyou is now facing such an embarrassing situation.
If you plan to Wu, such as Luzhou Haozhou, you may become stuck in your throat, and you can't swallow it or vomit it. You may even be defeated by Nanyang, Caizhou, and Nanyang, who was stabbed in the back. But if Huaiyou stopped and digested slowly, once you were breathed by Caizhou and you were storming Yingbo, you are afraid that after the power expands, you will immediately need the troops to point the south and hit Huaiyou. At that time, can Huaiyou have the strength to resist the soldiers?
Maybe someone else would say that it will happen a year or two later. Who can tell what will happen in a year or two? Maybe Caizhou has other plans?
But Wang Miao couldn't say this. He had been in Caizhou for so long, even if he was not trusted and could not know too much, he could still feel something that was intentionally or unintentionally revealed.
Wang Miao is still very familiar with the hidden background of Caizhou, and Caizhou is already preparing for a strategy. It takes one or two years to say it is not long or short. If it passes perfunctorily, it may be really a sword and a gun in the future.
Seeing Wang Miao remained silent, Jiang Feng was calm and said with a smile: "Jiulang, do you think the situation Huaiyou is facing is very tricky? It even feels a little unsolvable?"
Without waiting for Wang Miao to answer, Jiang Feng said straight: "Haha, I tell you, in fact, since I took over the Gushi Army, I have been in this state of being swallowed and destroyed at any time, but I just brought a group of brothers to break through like this."
"The Yuan's intervention led to the division of the Gushi Army, and then the ant thief besieged the city. Before he could breathe, Caizhou attacked again, and was attacked one after another, and almost died several times."
"When Nanyang attacked Cai, I also faced this dilemma. I would not pull Nanyang's hind legs. Once Nanyang joins forces with Daliang to destroy Caizhou, I could only bow to Nanyang's head. So I knew that Caizhou would be Huaiyou's biggest enemy in the future, but I still had to grit my teeth and stab Nanyang in the back, so that it would fail and return to defeat. The threat of Nanyang was resolved, but Caizhou might have to raise the knife to Huaiyou when he recovered."
"Look, fate is so helpless. If you don't save Caizhou, Nanyang will swallow someone. If Caizhou recovers, he will swallow someone even if he gets angry. Why is he so miserable?"
"But no matter how hard his life is, I still came over with a group of brothers and broke through the land of the Three Prefectures. If I don't believe that they will have no enemies, they will have no difficulties, and they will be able to achieve their goals smoothly according to their intentions. There is no such good thing in the world!" Jiang Feng, who originally smiled bitterly and seemed a little helpless, suddenly turned his tone: "Caizhou wants to annex Yingbo, dream! I can't let it get what I want. Does Daliang have no mind for Yingbo? Humph, Daliang has just taken back Nanchenzhou, and the losses are quite large. I don't believe that Daliang's big surnames who were driven out of Nanchenzhou by Yuan's family are now only satisfied with taking back Nanchenzhou. What if they can make them feel that Caizhou and Huaibei should hand over Yingbo to them for compensation?"
