"We Huaiyou emphasize the use of virtue to conquer people, and of course we should first be courtesy and then soldiers."

Jiang Feng's light words made Xue Tong feel chilled. Nanyang also advocated conquering people with virtue, and it was also shameless. Now it seems that another shameless person appeared in the vassal vassal vassal under the guise of conquering people with virtue.

"The Pinglu Army's behavior will undoubtedly be punished. It's very simple. What they took from Haizhou must be returned. I don't care about myself. I can just double the compensation. Otherwise, we, Huaiyou, will decide how to punish ourselves."

Jiang Feng's next words also confirmed Xue Tong's speculation, but Xue Tong selectively ignored it.

"Erlang, since Haizhou is within the scope of Wuning Jiedushi, you can naturally decide what to do. However, the court still thinks that it is best to avoid war. The current situation is chaotic, and even Chang'an in Guanzhong is in danger. The court hopes that all the vassals can work together to control the Hu people."

Xue Tong's words were a bit contradictory. Hedong Dajin was also a Hu and Shatuo, but Dajin has always been closely related to Guanzhong and is often praised by the court as a model of trying to overcome difficulties. Why do you now say such words as the Hu people?

Seeing that Jiang Feng's eyes were a little smiley, Xue Tong quickly added and explained: "Erlang, don't misunderstand that the Zhuye clan of the Great Jin Dynasty was very loyal to the court. When they entered Xia, they were different. The people of Dangxiang were not as good as the emperor. These barbarians did not even see the emperor's kindness, and they actually invaded Chang'an and poisoned Guanzhong..."

"Mr. Xue, there are some people who are poisoning Guanzhong, but there are no soldiers who violate Chang'an, right?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Erlang, although the Dangxiang people's troops have not reached Chang'an, the capital of the capital is full of poisoning by these barbarians. A large number of victims are introduced into Chang'an City. Now there are more than 200,000 victims in Chang'an City, and the court is unable to bear it. If this continues, even if there is no tragic incident of 30 guan of rice in the second year of Zhonghe, it will probably increase to 70,800 guan per guan. How many of these 200,000 people will survive?" Xue Tong said tragically.

"What does the imperial court mean?" Jiang Feng did not invest much energy in Guanzhong, just wait and see.

He believed that the nine ministers and ministers in Guanzhong still had at least 100,000 soldiers available, and it was impossible for them to let the Dangxiang people run rampant. Even if they asked for help, it would not be the turn of Huaiyou in the east.

Hedong, Nanyang, Jiangling, Xiangyang, Ehuang, Tanyue, Liangchuan, and even Caizhou are all more reliable than Huaiyou.

Huaiyou is now facing Nanyang to the west, and now occupying Guangzhou. It is in a state of hostility. Caizhou is also confronting Huaiyou. Daliang will not want to see Huaiyou Army crossing the border to reinforce Guanzhong, so it is definitely not the turn of Huaiyou to send troops.

Besides, I just took Xuzhou and everything is waiting for progress, and I am unable to interfere in matters outside the territory. Even if I want to "repay the emperor's kindness", I am powerless.

"The Dangxiang people couldn't stay around the capital and asked the court to comfort him. In fact, they were asking for money and grain. Yang Wenchang fanned the flames afterwards. This was the culprit!" Xue Tong mentioned Yang Wenchang and couldn't help gritting his teeth. "Yang Wenchang's ambitions are a pity, but he hated the court that had not seen through his heart before, and actually let such a person rise to power!"

Jiang Feng sneered in his heart. He had long noticed Yang Wenchang's evil intentions, but the Luli of Chang'an only knows how to live and die in a drunken and dream of death all day long. He has paid attention to the evil wolf hidden beside his home. Now the evil wolf has exposed its fangs and has attracted a more ferocious wild wolf. Now I don't know how to deal with it.

"Mr. Xue, since that's the case, should the King of Jin have some attitude?"

The Dangxiang people are close to each other. Apart from Yang Wenchang, the only one who can influence the Dangxiang people's attitude is probably Shatuo people. If the Shatuo people are willing to put pressure on the Dangxiang people, the Dangxiang people must have to consider the consequences of evil King Jin's wishes.

Xue Tong hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Hedong has probably fought with Daliang at this time. The Hedong Iron Cavalry had confronted the Liang army in Huaizhou earlier. When I came out of Chang'an, it was said that the Jin army had entered Weizhou."

Weizhou was nominally under the jurisdiction of Weibo Jiedushi, but due to the lack of natural barriers, the Hedong Iron Cavalry entered the Wei and Prime Ministers as if there were no one in the realm. In order to resist the Hedong Iron Cavalry, the Weibo army basically gave up the areas west of Anyang (Xiangzhou Prefecture) and north of Qingshui, and adopted a solid wall and clear field to defend the eastern and southern cities. In the areas west of Anyang and north of Qingshui, the cavalry and the Hedong Iron Cavalry were confronted by the cavalry.

This tactic does bring a lot of trouble to the Hedong Iron Cavalry.

The cavalry in the three towns of Heshuo was not weak in combat. In addition, the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields cut off the possibility of Hedong Iron Cavalry after entering Xiangzhou and Weizhou to obtain supplies. However, the war was not good, the Wei Bo cavalry could escape into Anyang and Ye County, or escape south of Qingshui.

The Hedong Iron Cavalry has to face the unfavorable situation of the city and the white land. Therefore, although the Hedong Iron Cavalry has an absolute advantage to the three towns of Heshuo, it is always difficult to cause a substantial and fatal blow to Heshuo. Moreover, the three towns of Heshuo also have the Daliang backstage, which can support it at any time.

Huaizhou is also a difficult problem for Daliang.

Huaizhou is the only place in the entire Daliang to the north of the river. In other words, Daliang will not have a natural chasm on this piece of land, and he has to face the Hedong Iron Cavalry.

As long as the Hedong Iron Cavalry goes out of the Taihang Mountains, it can easily penetrate the Hebei Plain. Therefore, in Huaizhou, it is the front line where the Daliang cavalry army is stationed the most. Such elite forces as the Tangzidu, Yunqin, and Luoyandu are stationed on this line to deal with the invasion of the Hedong Iron Cavalry at any time.

Every time the Hedong Jin army goes south, Huaizhou is an unavoidable highlight.

"Oh? This battle is probably quite large, right?" Jiang Feng said carelessly.

In fact, he also learned the news from Wuwentang. It should be said that the sudden activity of the Caizhou army and the Nanyang army have a lot to do with the invasion of Daliang in Hedong.

If Daliang wants to deal with the invasion of Hedong, he will inevitably mobilize southern troops and may even have to conduct some transactions with Nanyang and Caizhou, which also led to the sudden frequent actions of Caizhou and Nanyang against Huaiyou.

It can also be seen from Daliang's actions that Daliang also realized that the Hedong Jin army's actions will definitely not be small this time, and it may even be a promising one, to make it difficult to deal with Daliang. Once the Hedong Jin army truly wins against Daliang, what attitude will Nanyang and Caizhou have?

Now you can win over and show favor with Nanyang and Caizhou, but when you are not in the advantage or even face difficulties, will Nanyang and Caizhou still be respectful to you?

Will there be other ideas?

Neither Nanyang nor Caizhou were peaceful. Liu Xuan of Nanyang and the Yuan clan of Caizhou were all coveted by the Central Plains. Even Jiang Feng also coveted the Central Plains, let alone Nanyang and Caizhou. This is normal.

In a sense, Jiang Feng judged that this time, Hedong Jin should have been planning for a long time. He wanted to use this war to test Daliang's pressure-bearing ability, to see if Daliang can withstand such a war, and to test how much support his allies will provide to him when Daliang is in trouble and what kind of abnormal movements his potential enemies will have.

Jiang Feng could even assert that it would not take long before the envoys from Hedong would come to Xuzhou to visit him, the newly rising king of the two Huai Rivers, and to test his interest in dividing the Central Plains.

"Erlang, this is a matter between Hedong and Liangdi. Although the court is concerned, it is realistic and the court has no room for intervention." Xue Tong did not hide anything and said calmly.

"But this will affect Hedong's attitude towards the Dangxiang people." Jiang Feng frowned, "Isn't the King of Jin allowing the Dangxiang people to do evil?"

Xue Tong sighed softly.

He also understood this truth, but the court had more demands on the Great Jin Dynasty and had limited influence on the Great Jin Dynasty. How could it make the Great Jin give up its biggest grudge and defeat Daliang?

Now Hedong is deliberately looking for various opportunities to weaken the beam so as to prepare for the final decisive battle. How could it change the strategic direction just because of the rampant Dangxiang people in Guanzhong?

Besides, didn’t the Dangxiang people also besieged Chang’an?

Didn’t it just that some people were plundered and some money and food were robbed in the Guanzhong Basin?

What a big deal?

If it really doesn't work, Chang'an will meet the requirements of the Dangxiang people and give him some money and wealth. No matter how badly it is, even if it is a marriage, it's all a barbarian. If you just want a royal woman to marry those barbarian chiefs, you might be happy.

These views were revealed when the court sent envoys to Jinyang to meet the King of Jin, and the officials and generals in Hedong were exposed, which made the court both shocked, angry, and helpless.

Seeing that Xue Tong was silent, Jiang Feng naturally understood the difficulties.

If you say a thousand words, the court has a low status in the minds of the powerful vassals such as Liang and Jin, and its influence is even weak. How could these vassal families surrender your court's wishes because of their own interests?

"Mr. Xue, I've made a mistake." Jiang Feng changed the topic, "I wonder what the situation is in Princess Jin?"

Xue Tong was excited and finally came to this topic.

When Yuchi Wubing left Chang'an, he told him that this delicate relationship between Princess Jin and Jiang Feng may play an important role in the future. With the continuous increase in the power of Huaiyou, the position of the court is declining sharply. I am afraid that multiple measures will be taken to maintain the prestige of the court in the future.

The court had been very disdainful of this subtle relationship between Jiang Feng and Li Jin, and even the emperor prohibited outsiders from mentioning this matter, because he believed that the gap between the two sides was too huge.

A small state governor, well, has just been given the title of defense envoy. But just two years have passed, Jiang Feng's power has expanded at an astonishing speed, sweeping across the Jianghuai River, which is jaw-dropping.

Now that even the gateway of Guandong such as Xuzhou has fallen into his hands, some people inevitably consider the matter between him and Li Jin.
