Section 58: Disagreement, Powerlessness

At present, Lu Qiming's four armies controlled the North Gate and the East Gate respectively, but as Shangyunxi's army entered the city, the situation in Xuzhou suddenly became tense. Lu Qiming concentrated the army mainly at the East Gate and turned the North Gate into a joint control with Shi Feng's Ya Army. Of course, all this was done under Shi Feng's instruction.

Noting that Su Tie's eyes were observing the advance of Shangyunxi's army, Yang Heng also put down his mind and looked carefully, "Can you think Shangyunxi's army's combat effectiveness is still well maintained?"

"Well, there are expectations, and there are also unexpected things. Unexpectedly, they are worthy of being the elite of the two generals in Huaibei. Although they suffered defeat and fled back in a panic, they did not lose their momentum and had the power to fight." The cypress eagle had a gloss in their eyes. "As expected, they still suffered a lot of losses, mainly focusing on the material of supplies. Shang Yunxi still had the courage of a hero who cut off his arm and threw down the material of supplies and ran back. He knew that once he came back late, he would not think about entering the city."

"The master said before that one of the Daliang Army had also entered Xu? How should we deal with it?" Yang Heng was more concerned about this issue.

Once the Daliang army enters Xu, the future situation will be more complicated and more difficult to deal with. The Yuan family in Caizhou is an enemy army, which is nothing more than a battle, but the Daliang army is a troublesome. If you can't fight, you can't fight, you can't welcome, and you can't get into evil. These guys are here to fight Qiufeng. With their current situation, how could they intervene in Xuzhou?

"The Liang army came from west to east, and probably entered Xu from Ximen. Now there is no one guarding the Ximen. I guess Shang Yunxi will take over, let's see how he deals with it."

Su Tie also thought this matter was extremely difficult. Everyone had expected Caizhou to intervene in the Xuzhou war, but they had never thought about Daliang, or thought Daliang might intervene and intervene. That was just a problem from an envoy. It was nothing more than reconciliation and mixing. Unexpectedly, Liang army sent out troops in such a short period of time, which completely exceeded Huaiyou's expectations.

According to Wuwentang's judgment, if we were to send troops, with the operational efficiency of Daliang, such a decision would start from proposal to decision-making, and then to military selection and supply. There was no one thinking about it for a month, but unexpectedly, Liang army set out from Songzhou within a few days and entered Xuzhou directly.

Obviously, this should be a trick of killing first and then playing. It can be seen from the fact that he only had 5,000 troops from the army, and it came directly from Yucheng and Dangshan. If the judgment is correct, it should be the commander of the Songzhou garrison and the Tianxing Right Army's strength.

"The Liang army should have been attracted by Shang Yunxi as a supporter, but Shang Yunxi is very ambitious. He probably doesn't want Daliang to really occupy Xuzhou. I guess he is leaning against Daliang and is going to be Daliang's guardian dog to guard Xuzhou. Hehe, this idea is quite clever." Su Tie stroked his jaw and stared at the Invasion Army who was still lined up with his eyes deep: "He is right. Daliang does not have much energy to interfere in Xuzhou now. If he can offer considerable benefits to Daliang, he must be willing to accept such an obedient vassal."

Yang Heng was also thinking, "What should we do? Will Daliang intervene and we give in?"

"How is that possible? How can the Lord make Xuzhou?" Su Tie shook his head, "This is the foundation of the Lord's future struggle for the Central Plains. Daliang should also be clear about this. They are nothing more than just wanting to compete for some benefits, but in this way, Shi Feng may not be happy."

Yang Heng also thought of this, "Isn't Feng Shangyunxi hateful to the core now?"

"It's useless to hate him to the core. When he speaks with strength, Shi Feng now has a title. The king needs this title now. If he is willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the king, then the king will certainly not be stingy to give him the same treatment as Yang Pu. We don't need Fucai, we need Xuzhou!" Su Tie smiled: "Shang Yunxi also wants Xuzhou, but Daliang behind him may not be. Daliang does not expect to take Xuzhou, and it is impossible for Xuzhou to rebel against Huaiyou. Daliang also wants Fucai, so on this point, we Huaiyou and Daliang are not without room for negotiation."

Yang Heng silently recalled Su Tie's judgment. He was still too immature. Like Daliang's purpose, Su Tie could tell at a glance, but he was still worried that Daliang would plot against Xuzhou. Su Tie was already considering that he needed to make Daliang withdraw from the battle for Xuzhou.

Without Daliang's support, the relationship between Shang Yunxi and Shi Feng was completely broken. Even though he still had 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he was just a sourceless water without roots and could not cause great storms.

Yuan Wuwei's burning eyes almost melted the messenger who reported the message, and the messenger's whole body was trembling and almost fell to the ground.

"When did this happen?" The words squeezed out between the teeth were like ice slag. Even in the dog days, the weeds around were wilted under the hot sun, but at this time everyone felt as if they had suddenly entered the cold winter, which made the people around them shudder.

"What happened the day before yesterday." The messenger replied weakly.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Wuwei clenched his fists, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. In just a few days, he had already suffered a three-combo attack.

As soon as he left Lin Huan, he received the bad news that his father's city was attacked and lost, which almost stunned Yuan Wuwei.

Although Qing Bo still supported his conquest of Xuzhou, Yuan Wuwei knew that Yuan Huaiqing must have been under considerable pressure. Once Chengfu lost, rebellions in the entire southern part of Bozhou would arise. Of course, the Huaiyou Army would not be limited to Chengfucheng, Shansang, Linhuan, and even Yongcheng and County. It is estimated that it would trigger large-scale rebellions. But as long as you can win this battle and make Huaiyou unable to succeed, it would be worth it.

But unexpectedly, the second attack came so fiercely and fiercely. Huaiyou had already been begging for a long time, and he actually used a surprise attack on Tongqiao from the waterway, and also took down Fuli City.

After taking Fu Li, how meaningful is it to go to Qi County in this battle?

Even if you can stop the Huaiyou Army from heading north in Qi County, what can you do? Can you stop for a while, and for a lifetime?

That night, Yuan Wen, Yuan Wenhuai and others opposed continuing to move south along the Huanshui River. They had this view that they had already had after the attack on Chengfu City, but they had won the support of Yuan Huaiqing, so although they opposed reentering Xuzhou, they could only oppose it but could not take action.

However, after the news of Fu Li being obtained by the Huai Right Army came, this view became fierce. The two sides argued, and they delayed Ren Ji for a day. Yuan Wuwei almost forced the army to continue to move south with the order of the commander. However, unexpectedly, after one day, the third strike came again.

The coalition forces of the Insurgent Army actually failed under Fuli City. That's fine, but Shang Yunxi still had nearly 20,000 troops in his hands. He actually fled back to Xuzhou without attacking Fuli City. What else does this guy do?

Even if Yuan Wuwei didn't know what was wrong here, he knew that something must have happened in Xuzhou City, and Shang Yunxi would definitely not be a character who was determined to work hard for Shi Feng. It's a pity that Yao Chengtai blocked the gun for the sake of others in vain.

"You go down, I know." He waved his hand powerlessly, and Yuan Wuwei closed his eyes.

"Brother Third, we can't continue moving forward. It's meaningless to go to Qi County now. We must go back immediately." Yuan Wenhuai couldn't help it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to act irritating."

"Take anger?" Yuan Wuwei opened his eyes and said in a plain tone: "Do you all think I'm trying anger?"

"San brother, we know that Huaiyou is very dangerous and is the number one enemy of our Yuan family in the future. However, when dealing with Huaiyou, we also need to judge the situation and choose the right time." Yuan Wen also stood up and said firmly: "We have not yet gained a foothold in Yingbo and Bozhou. This is our top priority. The foundation is unstable. How can we talk about competing for the might of Xuzhou?"

Yuan Wuwei suppressed his anger. He knew that Yuan Wen and Yuan Wenhuai had no right opinion. The opportunity to go south had been lost. He should not go to Qi County again. But he also knew that if he lost this opportunity, Huaiyou would quickly become a major disaster for the Yuan family in Caizhou.

"Wen, Wen Huai, do you know what our future situation will be if Huaiyou swallows Xuzhou?" Yuan Wuwei sighed, becoming a little depressed and desolate.

This was the first time that Yuan Wen and Yuan Wenhuai saw Yuan Wuwei's expression, and they were also a little moved. "Third brother, it doesn't make much sense for us to go to Qi County again. We must admit this reality. Now is not a good time for us to intervene in Xuzhou. As for Yao Chengtai, since he has embarked on this path, he should be prepared."

Yuan Wen's words hit Yuan Wuwei again.

One of the reasons why he was unwilling to give up was because Yao Chengtai. Yao Chengtai is still defending Qi County and is still waiting for his army. However, Yuan Wen was right. Yuan’s army has lost the value and significance of going south. Fighting a war with the Huai Right Army is not the goal. When the purpose of the Huai Right Army to Xuzhou has been achieved, it is not in the interests of the Yuan family to fight and lose the Yuan army in vain.

There is also this reason why Yuan Wuwei was unwilling to give up going south.

The Yuan family's emphasis on their own children and distrust of foreign subsidies has become a major chronic disease that restricts the development of the Yuan family.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, even if he really couldn't stop Huaiyou from taking Xuzhou, he still wanted to transform the military system to win over some military generals and soldiers.

As Caizhou's territory expanded to Yingbo and Bozhou, the army that had already felt sufficient suddenly began to appear stretched.

Taking Bozhou as an example, he drew up these 10,000 troops to fight Xuzhou. Chengfu was attacked, and Qingbo could not draw enough troops to fight back. In Yingzhou, the thinness of the troops were also shocking, and the garrison in Caizhou was also weakened to the point where it could not be weakened.

Although a new army was reorganized in Caizhou, everyone knows that if the new army wants to grow into old soldiers and become old soldiers, it will require war baptism and time to settle down.

Even if the Influence Army is not as good as the Caizhou Army, if it can select its elite troops and select them, it can greatly enrich the Caizhou Army.

Especially when the Yuan family had already controlled the Yingbo and Bo prefectures, an army composed of soldiers from Huaibei was also of great benefit to further conquering and controlling the Yingbo prefectures in the future.

But now the situation is no longer allowed to go south.

If you go south to Qi County, you will inevitably form a fierce battle with the Huaiyou Army in Qi County. The Huaiyou Army comes with force, and the Huaiyou Army in the north has already controlled Fuli and Tongqiao, which is very unfavorable to your side when attacking it.

Moreover, Yuan Wuwei also knew that Jiang Feng was treacherous and good at calculating, and that he would not only have this trick to seize Xuzhou, but also had his back in Xuzhou City. This also means that Huaiyou's goal has long been achieved and will not be changed due to the intervention of his own army.
