The conversation is simple and profound. Logically speaking, although Jiang Feng and Zhong Han are quite in love, it is impossible to negotiate such a deep-seated issue.

However, Jiang Feng has discussed with Meikuang, Yang Kan, Tian Chunlai, Zhang Ting and others in the past two days. They all feel that the Zhennan Army and Huaiyou are currently far apart, but they are all related to Wu. You might as well consider developing into an allies.

The positive attitude shown by Zhong Han undoubtedly had this intention. For Zhong Han's side, hunting the Qingjiao was undoubtedly a secondary purpose. If it could reach an alliance with the Huai You Army, it would be even more important than hunting the Qingjiao.

The primary goal of the Zhennan Army is to recover Jiangrao and the two prefectures. With their current situation, they can only consider this goal. The Dazhong clan is not weak, and even if he has obtained the support of Peng and Lu families, he still has a tough battle to fight.

Now Huaiyou's strategic intentions are still unsure because of Huaiyou's own strength. However, if Huaiyou wants to plot against Wu, Haozhou and Luzhou are the first to be among them. Secondly, you can also consider the He and Chuzhou, which are close to Lu, Haozhou and Chuzhou.

As for Chu, Yang, Run, and Changzhou, although the states are richer and richer, Jiang Feng also knew that, first of all, it was the place where the ant thieves were staring at, and secondly, the neighboring Yue Kingdom would not let go easily. In addition, the Xu clan itself has a strong foundation in these states, so the future direction is difficult to judge.

Therefore, without considering the situation of Chu, Yang and Runchang, Huaiyou's target was actually the states in the western part of the Wu Kingdom, which was also an area with great influence. If Yang Pu wanted to compete with Xu Zhigao, he would have to ask Jiang Rao and his closest Shu, Xuan, She and Quzhou to send troops to help.

Now Shuzhou has formed an alliance under the pressure of Huaiyou, and it is impossible to provide Yang Pu with Yuan's army. However, Xuanzhou was attacked by the ant thief Han Baling's troops and was too busy to take care of himself. He even asked for help from Jiangrao, She and Quzhou. In addition, under this situation, the western vassals, which were originally supported by Yang Pu, could not count on it.

According to normal circumstances, Yang Pu is much less powerful than Xu Zhigao, and now there are no reinforcements, so it is natural to lose.

But there are two major variables here, one is the opportunity and goal of the ant thief crossing south, and the other is to what extent the Vietnamese parliament intervenes in the civil strife in Wu.

If both of these exist and wanted to destroy Xu Zhigao in one fell swoop, then maybe he would not wait until Yang Pu was defeated and Xu Zhigao would be finished first. If this situation evolved, Yang Pu might have escaped.

Yang Pu's escape from the tiger's mouth is undoubtedly the least willing to see the Zhennan Army. Once the Wu Kingdom continues to survive, the Jiangrao Prefectures will always become a hidden danger. Therefore, for the Zhennan Army, if the Huai You Army can send troops to Lu, Hao, and Chu, and remove the foundation of the Yang clan in one fell swoop, then the foreign aid of the Dazhong clan can be completely cut off, and at the same time, the Xuan, She and Qu states are intimidated, so that they dare not move. In this way, the Zhennan Army can easily solve the problems of the Jiangrao Prefectures.

This is the main reason why Zhong Han is eager to make friends with Huaiyou.

Zhong Han had actually considered the issue raised by Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng said this as if it implies that the Huai Youjun is not ready to interfere in the situation in Wu.

But the civil strife in Wu is already on the verge of being on the verge of the Wu area. According to the news obtained by Zhennan Army, civil strife in Wu will inevitably arise, the ant thief Qin Quan's troops will definitely cross the south, and the ant thief Han Baling troops who stayed in Xuanzhou will also enter the Runchang two prefectures.

The result of this battle was predictable, but with the variable of ant thief, it was really hard to predict.

"Hanzhi, it's hard to say. The ant thief Qin Quan's troops stayed in Huaibei for a long time. Logically speaking, they had been unable to stay in Huaibei for a long time, but they would rather go to Sizhou, or even go to Xuzhou and Haizhou to fight Qiufeng, but they were unwilling to cross the Huai River. It's not that they were unable to cross the Huai River, but the water thieves in Baishui Lake had already become the foreshadowing of the ant thief. This is the foreshadowing of the ant thief. They just wanted to wait for the best time to fight Wu, but the Yang and Xu families were already incompatible, and they would also turn against each other in this situation, so this is also God's will."

Jiang Feng was very moved.

In fact, Jiang Feng can see this problem, the Qian family in Yue can see it, and the Shi family in Huaibei can see it. Even the Shi family has the strength to clear out the ant thieves but is unwilling to waste their troops. It is not just that it is urgent to see the ant thieves heading south to cross the Huai River, so it would rather use the momentum of the ant thieves to curb the ant thieves' momentum, but rather use the army to defeat the main force of the ant thieves.

The ant thief was pretending to be confused when he was clear about this situation, and he also deliberately restrained his rampant behavior in Huaibei, just waiting for an opportunity.

Will the Yang and Xu families in Wu and the Yang and Xu families not see this? Of course they know it well.

However, the Yang and Xu families were incompatible. Yang Pu took back their power, and the Xu family would die without a place to bury them. Xu family successfully seized power, and the Yang family would be wiped out. In this case, after all, they had not really felt the ferocity of the ant thief.

"Since it is God's will, why don't you follow the will of heaven? The soldiers from Huaiyou will also follow the will of heaven." Zhong Han said anxiously.

"Hanzhi, are you pushing me to the stove to roast. The court has no orders. Why did my Huaiyou Army come out of Wu?" Jiang Feng said this and felt a little hypocritical and said, "Of course, the imperial orders can be called for. After all, the gentry and people who suffered during this war are the ones who suffer. However, I, Huaiyou, seemingly glorious, and there are many hidden dangers."

"Oh? In my opinion, Huaiyou's situation is very good now. Shouzhou is a famous granary. As long as it can be restored to the point where the ant thieves are rampant, it is no problem to feed the people of the three states in one state. Moreover, Huaiyou Army has also experienced wars with the ant thieves and the Caizhou Army and performed well. In this case, how can there be a hidden danger?"

Zhong Han seems to be unbelievable.

If we must say that there are any hidden dangers in Huaiyou, Zhong Han felt that it was probably not completely controlled by Shouzhou. However, the attitude of the two leading figures among the three surnames of Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai towards Jiang Feng was also denied Zhong Han's suspicion.

In addition, the Zheng family took the initiative to surrender to Jiang Feng. He also learned from the conversation with Tian Chunlai that Zheng Hong, the pillar of the Zheng family, was even the inspector of the Guangxi Shou Defensive and Guardian Mansion. Therefore, Zhong Han felt that Shouzhou should be in a stable position now, so what is Jiang Feng’s worries?

Jiang Feng was not able to answer this question for a while.

There are many problems in Huaiyou.

On the one hand, there is an imbalance in military strength, or in other words, the strong outside and the middle. Maybe it is okay to fight a defensive battle, but there are many problems to really fight a field battle and a siege battle.

Second, the three surnames of Shouzhou and even the entire Huaiyou gentry class have not truly recognized themselves from the bottom of their hearts, which is the biggest concern.

Perhaps I have already made these top figures among the surnames realize the future prospects of Huaiyou at the military level, and realized that following you is the best choice to have a brighter future, but not everyone thinks this way.

Especially the middle and lower classes of these gentry classes, that is, the group of minorities and minorities and prominent families, are the backbone of the gentry class.

They have not enjoyed the benefits yet, especially after taking over Shouzhou, in order to obtain a stable Shouzhou as soon as possible, they basically accepted the prominent family of Shouzhou.

In other words, in this war, Jiang Feng did not win the land and business they wanted for the small and medium-sized gentry of Guangxi and the two states. Shouzhou was still Shouzhou with the three surnames of Shouzhou. Except for some Guangxi and the big surnames who could participate in the reconstruction to distribute some benefits, most of the small and medium-sized gentry of Guangxi and the local small and medium-sized gentry of Shouzhou did not get what they wanted.

This is also Jiang Feng's helpless move.

Shouzhou and Kotoshi are different. Shouzhou is a typical situation controlled by a large clan. The power of the three surnames is too strong. If Jiang Feng had enough time, he could completely eliminate the Umeda and redistribute the land, property and business of the Umeda. He would definitely win the strong support of the gentry of Gutoshi and the small and medium-sized gentry of Shouzhou, but the time was not right.

Once the Umeda family is dismembered, the Huaiyou Navy will collapse and will not be able to form combat effectiveness in the short term. At the same time, the Umeda family will definitely counterattack and cause chaos. Without a year or two, the situation in Shouzhou will not be able to be stabilized again.

Shouzhou is the most important part of Jiang Feng's future hegemony. At the same time, the situation in Wu has reached a critical juncture. Only by firmly controlling Shouzhou can he rely on Shouzhou as a bridgehead and lead to the western states of Wu.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to make great concessions to allow the Umeda family to survive, and even promised that they could enjoy the benefits of the western states of Wu in the future. Otherwise, how could the Umeda family be so willing to tame their attitude and support themselves so firmly?

In fact, Jiang Feng also knew that the two major hidden worries to be solved can only be solved through continuous wars, and may experience some failures and setbacks, but if you do not do this, these hidden worries will become increasingly greater, and may even eventually turn into a critical failure that will cause your regime to collapse.

This idea was somewhat blurred and shaken at the beginning. With the stability of the situation in Shouzhou, the sincere support of the Umeda family, and Wang Miao's great gains in Heshuo, has become increasingly clear in Jiang Feng's mind.

A battle against Wu is inevitable. No matter what the outcome of Yang Pu and Xu Zhigao, no matter how the Ant Thief and the Yue Congress joined the battle, Huaiyou will send troops. Luhao and the two prefectures are the most basic requirements, and may even include the two prefectures of Chu.

This is equivalent to giving the gentry class of Guangxishou and the three prefectures a big pie of interest that makes them itchy, so that they can truly taste the sweetness. Only in this way can they charge forward with complacent and willingness in the next war.
