Like a wild beast trapped in a cage, Yuan Wuwei's neck burst into blue veins, and he was walking back and forth in the hall.

"Sanlang, calm down,..."

"No, Uncle Qing, I can't calm down. We cannot lose this opportunity. Once Jiang Feng succeeds to Xuzhou, we will be surrounded by a trapped beast!" Yuan Wuwei subconsciously shook his head, "We must never let Jiang Feng succeed!"

With a gentle sigh, Yuan Huaiqing could certainly understand Yuan Wuwei's excitement. If Xuzhou was obtained by Huaiyou and connected to Huaibei and Huainan, its momentum would be uncontrollable. Anyone could see this, but the question is, can we stop it now?

Now only he, the Yingbo Group envoy, can understand the situation in Bozhou.

Although the battle against Bozhou was very smooth and the loss of the army was not too great, the problem was that Bozhou was too big, with hundreds of miles from north to south, and the Caizhou army was already a little stretched to control the entire area.

Moreover, there was a strong resistance to the Yuan family's entry into power in Bozhou, and many gentry still had hostile attitudes towards the Yuan family's entry into power.

In addition, there is a severe drought in the north now, and this year is expected to be another year of severe drought. Yingbo and the two states in Yingbo are short of food, and the situation in the north is even worse. The key grain production areas south of the Huai River are either controlled by Huaiyou, controlled by Nanyang, or ruined by the fierce battle between the ant thief and Li Bing. In this case, my biggest worry is the further deterioration of the situation in Yingbo.

Especially the detailed scout reactions from all over the country, such as Chengfu and Linhuan counties in central Bozhou, which began to develop bandits. It is estimated that it has a lot to do with the victims flowing in from the north, and it is not ruled out that some local gentry who were hostile to the Yuan family were fueling the fire.

The situation in Yingzhou was not good. The two counties in southern Yingzhou were controlled by Huaiyou. From the detailed feedback, the number of Huaiyou Army stationed in Yingshang and Shangcai has been increasing. Even one cavalry of an army also entered Xiacai (Fengtai), which also aroused Yuan Huaiqing's great alert.

Although Xia Cai is geographically far from Yingzhou and Bozhou, it is located north of the Huai River and is only separated from Shouchun, the Huaiyou Base Camp. If the Huaiyou Army wants to attack Yingbo and Bo, it is very likely to attack Xia Cai, especially the threat to Shansang (Mengcheng), because there is a flat horse from Xia Cai to Shansang, and there is no river barrier, so it is very beneficial to cavalry and infantry marching.

Once Shansang City is lost, the entire southern part of Bozhou will be defended without any obstacles, and the southern part of Yingzhou and Bozhou will be formed in a large area. If the Huaiyou Army is now attacking the southern part of Xuzhou, in this way, the entire southern part of Huaibei can be said to be the one who is in the Huaiyou hand, which Yuan Huaiqing will absolutely not tolerate.

For Yuan Huaiqing, Xuzhou fell into Jiang Feng's hands, but he would not accept it even more if he wanted to ignore his own risks in order to avoid Xuzhou falling into Jiang Feng's hands, and even risk losing southern Bozhou to rescue him.

To be honest, Yao Chengtai is a fence-bearer himself, and Xuzhou is still in a state of hostility with Caizhou. Now Yao Chengtai feels that the situation is not good, so he wants to ask Caizhou for help. This is clearly the idea of ​​pulling his own side into the possession, which is to make the Yuan family involved in the war and difficult to escape, and his heart is punishable.

Yuan is not that stupid yet, and he can't do anything to take the sucking chestnut from the fire.

But what Yuan Wuwei said was very reasonable. Xuzhou was acquired by Jiang Feng, and the Yuan family's strategic development space was suddenly compressed, and there was no room for development in the east. Otherwise, they would have to face Huaiyou. Xiangnan would have to fight against Nanyang, the overlord of the east of Shannan Road, and to the north and west?

"Sanlang, the situation is not as bad as you think." Yuan Huaiqing comforted: "The Yuan family should be more cautious at this time. Let's not talk about whether Jiang Feng can win Xuzhou. Even if he really takes Xuzhou, we are not what you said to be a trapped beast in a cage. We all judge that Daliang's current situation is very bad. Although it is not obvious from the surface, I believe that Daliang will have chaos at least one or two years, and at most three or five years, and we can completely enter the Central Plains..."

"Brother Qing!" Yuan Wuwei had to be polite at this time and interrupted Yuan Huaiqing's words: "It's a later story to enter the Central Plains. Now we have to consider Xuzhou first. If Jiang Feng gets Xuzhou, Huaiyou will form a strategic advantage for us and a huge strategic squeeze for us. Even if there is a chance in the Central Plains in the future, we will have to station heavy troops to prevent the Huaiyou Army in the east, and our strategic situation will become even worse!"

"But Sanlang, you should also be aware of the current situation in Yingbo. We have used almost all our capital in this battle. Yingbo is not Shouzhou Luzhou, and there is not so much accumulation. Moreover, we cannot be without any precautions in Caizhou. In this case, how many troops can we draw?" Yuan Huaiqing was not angry. He also knew that Yuan Wuwei was really anxious and explained patiently: "Who is Yao Chengtai? We also know that if he had not been forced, how could he ask us to come to our heads? He would pull us into the game, that is, we should let us work hard for him. We must be cautious in this kind of thing."

"Bo Qing means we just sit and watch Huaiyou and take Xuzhou?" Yuan Wuwei stared at Yuan Huaiqing with bright eyes.

"I didn't say that, but we need to make a long-term plan." Yuan Huaiqing shook his head, "It's not that easy for the Huai Youjun to take Xuzhou. Even if Yao Chengtai is not in support, would Feng Shang Yunxi be indifferent? When Feng's lips are dead, he will understand the cold teeth of Feng's teeth?"

"Bo Qing, we cannot pin our hopes on the unfaithful idiots in Xuzhou. Things that others think are impossible may happen to them." Yuan Wuwei insisted on his point of view: "We must send troops, even if we will take some risks."

Yuan Huaiqing did not object anymore, but thought silently.

If you want to send troops, you must have a complete solution and consider the defense of Shansang City. He felt that Huaiyou would not just let the Caizhou army interfere in the Xuzhou war so casually. Jiang Feng must have a backlash, and the backlash either landed in Shansang City or Ruyin. He felt that Shansang was more likely.

To send troops to Xuzhou, it is also a problem to send troops to many troops. Too little is useless. If too much, Bozhou's defense system will become empty, especially since Bozhou itself has not settled yet, it is indeed not a good time to send troops.

"Sanlang, let's think about it more." After a long time, Yuan Huaiqing said quietly.

Seeing that Yuan Huaiqing was compromising, Yuan Wuwei felt a little relaxed, and he was afraid that Yuan Huaiqing would insist on sending troops, so Xuzhou was undoubtedly dig.

***************************************************

"Confirm?" Cyp took a deep breath.

Zhang Wanshan followed the king to fight for Xuzhou, and Su Tie was taken back to Shouchun to stay in the headquarters of Wuwentang, in charge of the intelligence work of the entire army.

"Well, the news from multiple sources has been reported that the number of troops in Shansang City has increased from one army to two army. This is unreasonable. Although the situation in southern Bozhou is not very stable, the situation in the city is still relatively good. It should be the father of the city to increase troops." Wu Wentang frowned and analyzed: "Subordinates think this is obviously an action against our Xia Cai army, but if they have no other intentions, why should we be so concerned about our Xia Cai army? I think there is something tricky here."

"Is there any more?" Cycad rubbed his jaw.

"Well, Linhuan's garrison has increased significantly, and from Qingxian and Yongcheng, they are transporting supplies, food, grass and other supplies to Linhuan, far exceeding the general supply. Well, it is more like preparations before the war." Shi Huan's tone was even heavier, "If we were to say that Linhuan had our people active, the situation was unstable, and it was reasonable for Caizhou Army to increase its troops to station, but from one army to four armies, it was a bit over. And transporting so many supplies was not as simple as garrison, especially for a meticulous response, there were also a cavalry and a large number of offensive magic equipment, which was even more strange."

The reconnaissance of the Caizhou Army has always been the top priority of Wuwentang. Even when Wuwentang was still facing the task of collecting information from Xuzhou, the reconnaissance of the Caizhou Army had never been relaxed. All the intelligence on the military mobilization of the Caizhou Army was listed as the first level.

"What about food except supplies?" Cyprus asked in detail.

"The supplement of grain is normal, but Bozhou is short of food. Will it be..." Shi Huan also had some doubts about this.

"If the Caizhou army was going to march into Xuzhou, it would definitely not have been a sudden idea. Well, under what circumstances do you think the Caizhou army would rashly march into Xuzhou when the situation in Bozhou is not yet stable?" Su Tie asked.

"It must have been stimulated by the situation where our Huai Right Army marched into Xuzhou." Shi Huan replied immediately.

"What about this? Are their Caizhou Army so bold?" Su Tie shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean is an insider?" Shi Huan's eyes lit up.

Wuwentang was formed on the basis of the scout team under the earliest Guangzhou Registration Army, but the scale has expanded many times based on the small scout team. In addition to some old friends when Jiang Feng was still in the scout team, more were the children who were later recruited from the Dadao Academy, the military camp and later the refugees in Yingbo and the two states of Ying and Bo, and were sent out after training.

This area has never been touched by anyone. Except for Jiang Feng, even Cui Shang cannot interfere in this area.

In other words, as a marching Sima, Cui Shang has the right to obtain intelligence support from Wuwentang, but he has no right to interfere with Wuwentang's work arrangements, which at most would be some directional suggestions.
