Chapter 115: The Intent of War

However, for Mei Kuang, the battle in Yingzhou is imminent. No matter how good Shang Yunliu is, his martial arts level is above the small heavenly throne. In addition, there are veterans such as Lin Feng and Gao Yang who have been through battle formations for a long time. Liang Zan is not a weak person, and Ruyin Hard City can be defended. Mei Kuang feels that it should be no problem to defend for one or two months, and the situation in Wu should have become clear at that time.

Mei Kuang was still thinking, but the atmosphere in the hall had slowly calmed down.

The four of them had repeatedly negotiated and bargained in the back hall about how to fight next.

Of course, Huaibei hopes that Huaiyou will undertake more important tasks, but Huaiyou will have its own bottom line.

That is, you can take on heavy responsibilities in war, but the specific tactics can only be decided by yourself. You can inform Huaibei in strategy, and there will be no major changes, but you will not inform the details and you can master them flexibly.

This made Huaibei very angry.

Such a posture obviously means not trusting Huaibei, but there is no better reason. After all, the two sides can only be regarded as the first cooperation of temporary "allies". Why can others trust you with all their hearts? What's more, Huaibei's performance was really not good before. Even when facing ant thieves, they won less and lost more. Even if there are other factors, in the eyes of outsiders, this is Huaibei's incompetence.

After a fierce debate, the two sides reached an agreement.

This is a last resort. Everyone needs the other party. This battle requires cooperation between the two parties. As for the result, no one can predict it.

"Everyone, please sit down." Liang Zan sat on the right side of the two seats in the middle and gave the left seat to Shang Yunliu, while Wang Miao and Meikuang sat on the guest seat on the left. Xu Ziqing and Zhao Wenshan sat in turn, while opposite were Lin Feng, Gao Yang, Gu Hua and Lu Tong.

It was said to be a military discussion, but in fact the result has been released, and it is just to be announced to the generals.

For Huaiyou, this is not important. It only takes Wang Miao and Meikuan back to announce the decision and follow the established strategic deployment, but for Huaibei, it needs to be clear in person.

Whether it is Lin Feng, Gao Yang or Lu Tong, they all have their own plans. Liang Zan and Shang Yunliu can't completely control these generals. Their respective factions determine that they will have discounts in their execution. Of course, they still dare not not work hard on the issue of gains and losses in Yingzhou. Once they really have lost their territory, they can't afford to hold the hat on anyone.

"..., according to the negotiation results, Huaiyou will be responsible for the defense of the south of Ruyin City,..., Huaibei will be responsible for the defense of the city and the north,..., Huaiyou Navy will be responsible for the warning of the entire Yingshui River, and will provide support as much as possible according to the actual situation,..."

Shang Yunliu announced the result of the military proposal.

This is actually a very rough arrangement. It is because all parties have too weak trust and have their own plans, so they can only barely divide a framework and implement it according to them. In fact, Huaiyou will not trust Huaibei too much. Huaibei also has to deploy defenses according to their internal arrangements.

Yuan Huaiqing calmly handed the letter in his hand to Yuan Wudi. Yuan Wudi was not polite, so he took the letter and hurriedly passed by, then frowned, "How come there is no introduction to the arrangement of the Huai Right Army in the south of the city?"

Yuan Huaiqing frowned and grinned bitterly, "Third brother, you have too high requirements. Well, the vigilance of the people of Huaiyou is also high enough. It is said that Huaiyou is unwilling to accept unified command and is only willing to assist in defense according to their own wishes. The final opinion was that they were responsible for the defense of the south of the city, and they did not participate in the entire city defense system of Ruyin City. They only provided some magical equipment for the Jiepai Riverbank in the first battle."

When Yuan Huaiqing mentioned the battle on Jiepai Riverbank, Yuan Wudi and other generals in the tent had a twitching heart.

This battle was simply a shameful and subversive battle. Five thousand elite cavalry surrounded the four thousand cavalry infantry of the Heshuo Army, and the ill army that came from thousands of miles away were actually destroyed by a naval army on the river.

Without the introduction of Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wenliang afterwards, Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wudi would not believe that this is a fact, but this is an indisputable fact.

The tragic losses of nearly 3,000 cavalrymen were also injured. The cavalry of both armies almost completely lost their combat effectiveness. Even if more than 30,000 troops of Caizhou Army came this time, Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei were still deeply hurt.

"If we cannot grasp the deployment of the Huai You Army, we may have to deploy more forces to deal with the situation in the south of the city, which will inevitably affect our overall layout." Yuan Wuwei poked the map on the desk. The two armies of Caizhou were united, and Yuan Huaiqing was of course the head coach, while Yuan Wuwei became the deputy commander. "What's the situation with Lao Qi?"

"The situation is not very good. Mei Kuang's sword was extremely vicious with his heart. Lao Qi was hit by this sword when he was exhausted too much and his defense was greatly weakened. I am afraid that he would not be much less injured than Lao Shijiu's sword. Lao Qi himself said that he would not be able to return to the level of Taixi period without a year of practice."

Yuan Huaiqing's face was bitter.

That sword also brought psychological scars to Yuan Wuwei, making him realize that the gap in martial arts level still has shortcomings in the idea of ​​using magic to make up for it, especially if it is not used properly at critical moments, it will cause harm to himself.

This forced Yuan Wuwei to spend more of his thoughts on martial arts practice. In the eyes of Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei, now he needs a think tank-type general like Yuan Wuwei who has a better vision of the overall situation, but now the other party has to leave the field and go to practice in seclusion.

But now they are powerless to stop Yuan Wuwei from doing this. If they allow such injuries without repairing, bridging and improving, Yuan Wuwei will lose the possibility of entering the martial arts world, and may even stay in the Tiandi Restoration Period for the resting period for the rest of their lives, and never have the opportunity to peek into the small heavenly throne, which Yuan Wuwei himself cannot accept.

Yuan Wuwei was also speechless. He thought that his martial arts level was outstanding, but he did not rely solely on martial arts strength in wars. In terms of overall situation and operational command, he did not think that he was much more skilled than Yuan Wuwei. Others obviously did not reach Yuan Wuwei's level. Yuan Huaiqing was old and could take the lead in the overall strategic situation, but in terms of specific response strategies, he could only rely on himself now. The eight pillars of Ruyang are still a little tender. For example, Yuan Wenliang and others, there is no problem in charging forward, but how to judge the changes in the battle situation and make the correct response strategy is still inferior.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuwei suddenly discovered that although the forces of Caizhou and Huaiyou were developing very quickly, there were still great differences between the two sides in some aspects, which also created the current different situations between the two sides.

Caizhou is mainly based on the local prominent family of the Yuan family in Caizhou, and of course it also includes the Xue family, Zhao family, He family and other families that are dependent on the Yuan family. This model also means higher density and stronger centripetal force, but the defects are also obvious, that is, it is easy to solidify and strong external rejection, so it is not easy to attract outstanding foreign talents.

In contrast, Huaiyou's model is more open, and it mainly attracts foreign talents. This has a lot to do with Jiang Feng himself as a poor commoner and shallow foundation.

This model is inclusive and has better breadth and depth to attract talents, but its disadvantages are equally prominent, that is, it takes time and more difficult to form common interests and joint forces, and it also requires a high level of balance and control ability of the lord.

Compared with the two companies, it should be said that both have done more successfully. Caizhou's cohesion and stability are obviously stronger than Huaiyou. Even when it was attacked by Daliang and Nanyang, Caizhou's territory was lost most of its territory and the situation was extremely unfavorable. However, the Caizhou army was still united and did not have any collapse or defection at all. Yuan Wuwei believed that at least Huaiyou could not do this now.

But it is undeniable that Huaiyou has a stronger development momentum and has stronger ability to attract and recruit outstanding external talents. Just look at the talents from Daliang, Heshuo and Shouzhou used by Jiang Feng to understand this point. Yuan Wuwei also hopes to improve on this point, but the current situation in Caizhou limits the possibility of such changes.

"Bo Qing, we can no longer wait. Taking Yingzhou is the first cornerstone of our Yuan family's expansion of living space. Only by taking Yingzhou can we talk about anything else. From now on, Huaiyou Jiangfeng has realized our intentions, so he spared no effort. He even had to divide his troops to obstruct us when he himself wanted to intervene in the Wu rebellion. Therefore, we must solve Yingzhou before he gets rid of the shackles of the Wu war, and the faster the better."

Yuan Wuwei deeply felt the huge pressure brought by the rapid development of Huaiyou. Jiang Feng was really too troublesome. He obviously wanted to get involved in the Wu chaos, but if it were others, he would definitely do his best to seize the interests of Wu. However, this guy would not eat meat by himself, and he would not be able to bear to drink soup. He insisted on fighting in Yingzhou to cause trouble for his side. Fortunately, he had already made plans in the battle in Yingzhou, otherwise he would have been really harmed by this guy.

However, even so, Huaiyou still caused a lot of trouble to Caizhou. At least in this battle, Caizhou faces a much greater price than before.
