Section 122 Two Yuan

When Yuan Wuwei, covered in dust, returned to the government office, it was already time to hold the lights.

The candles lit up, making the whole room feel a little warmer. The maid brought hot water, the meal was ready, and a pot of wine.

Yuan Wuwei did not pay much attention to diet, but after working hard, a pot of wine was a good thing to relieve fatigue, and over time he developed a habit.

A plate of mutton sauce, a plate of vegetarian bamboo shoots, and a few steamed cakes will be Yuan Wuwei's supper.

The voice of the personal guard came from outside the door: "Sir, Qilang is here."

"Oh? Qilang is here?" Yuan Wuwei was a little surprised and stood up, "Please invite him in."

After a moment, Yuan Wuwei walked into the room, "The third brother hasn't eaten yet?"

"Just come back from Linhuan, you haven't had any food yet, right? Let's go together."

Yuan Wuwei immediately arranged for the servant to notify the kitchen to add a few more dishes.

After taking a big sip of wine, Yuan Wuwei felt the fatigue gradually fade away. He felt that the wine today was extraordinary. He couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Where did this wine be sold? Why is it very different from the past?"

The guard responded outside the door: "Sir, it is the new Shouyachun, which was sold by a merchant in Shouzhou. It is said that it was brewed by a special steaming method. The taste was intense and everywhere was praised. Because the output was limited, once you arrived in various places, you would buy it all. No matter how high the price was, it would not be able to buy it. It was more than five times the value of ordinary soju."

"Shou Yachun?" Yuan Wuwei was surprised, "Didn't you hear of any good wine in Shouzhou?"

"Three brothers, you don't know that there are shortages of food in various places. Caizhou has long banned private brewing, like Daliang. Nanyang is said to be not allowed private brewing. Which family in the north dares to let go of brewing?" Yuan Wuwei sighed, "Only Shouzhou can dare to be so generous. I heard that the wine is brewed with a special steaming technology, as strong as fire. Shouyachun has been prepared and has become much lighter. It is said that the strongest Shouzhou fire wine is like fire when it enters the throat, and people who enter the stomach will fall. Especially when they are loved by the bitter and cold places in the north, the Hu people can't put it down, and even exchange a jar of wine for a horse in some places."

"So strange?!" Yuan Wuwei felt unimaginable. How much is a horse worth, even a barren horse, but how much is a jar of wine? It is impossible to compare. Now Huaiyou has created this Shouzhou fire mash.

"Who made this Shouzhou fire mash?" Yuan Wuwei realized the seriousness of the problem and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiaozuo only knows that it is a product from a winery called Shouyangchun. But I can't find out who the owner is, but I should have some connection with Jiang Feng. Fortunately, the amount of shipments in this winery is not large, otherwise this winery alone can make a big profit." Yuan Wuwei sighed.

Yuan Wuwei was also speechless.

After falling into Jiang Feng's hands, Shouzhou became more and more prosperous. At that time, the ant thieves failed to break through Shouchun City, but they raged outside Shouchun City. However, with the influx of refugees in Huaibei, Shouzhou was restored to its vitality at once. Many of them came from Yingbo, and they could not recover until now. They have been recruiting refugees in the past few months, but the food was insufficient, which is also a waste of energy.

Shouzhou has now become the center of Huaiyou in Huainan. It is not only the largest grain production area and trade port, but also the Huang of Shouzhou has become the favorite of Hu merchants. Now a popular Shouzhou Huo Wu wine has emerged. These things alone can provide much help to Jiang Feng.

Not only that, but the news from all aspects reported that Shouzhou City is now expanding, and a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen who fled from the north have flocked to Shouzhou. At least 20 new workshops have been opened within a month, which made Yuan Wuwei, who heard about these situations, amazed.

If this continues, Shouzhou may become a metropolis that is comparable to big cities like Yangzhou and Xuzhou in the future.

And this will greatly support Jiang Feng's ambitions.

Not only Shouzhou, but also in Luzhou, Luzhou has begun to build large-scale water conservancy facilities after the autumn harvest. According to local proposals, Luzhou is also a grain production base comparable to Shouzhou, which also shows Jiang Feng's accumulated strength in Huainan.

"Qilang, Huaiyou will become a big trouble for our Yuan family in the future!" Yuan Wuwei said word by word.

"No, third brother, Huaiyou is now a big trouble for our Yuan family. If Huaiyou is allowed to continue like this, it will not be a big trouble, but our great enemy of life and death." Yuan Wuwei shook his head, "And I have a intuition that Huaiyou's expansion speed is still accelerating. Although our strength is also increasing, it cannot keep up with Huaiyou's speed at all."

"Qilang, sometimes I wonder, why is Jiang Feng so lucky? It would be fine if Shouzhou is in his hands, but why is Luzhou and Haozhou so easy to fall into his hands? Moreover, Luhao and the two states have almost been ravaged by ants, and they are a plump place." Yuan Wuwei picked up the wine glass and drank it again, "Now the Huaibei and Yanyun landed in his hands again. Although the situation in these places is not good now, once they recover, Jiang Feng will definitely become a big climate."

"So you think we should start dealing with it early?" Yuan Wuwei's expression seemed a little confused.

"Isn't it? Qilang, I remember that you always hoped to kill Huaiyou earlier, but we have missed several opportunities in the past few years. Of course, the reason is not entirely due to us." Yuan Wuwei sighed, "But if this continues, maybe even if we are given a chance, we will not be able to solve Huaiyou."

Yuan Wuwei's eyes were complicated, and he took a deep breath and stared at Yuan Wuwei: "Third brother, this time..."

"This time? How about this time? Do you think it is an opportunity to take back Haizhou?" Yuan Wuwei was a little calm. "We couldn't seize such a good opportunity last time. Can it be done this time? After annexing Huaiyou, the influence army and Taining army, can we still give us a chance? Wang Shouzhong will start a full-scale war with Huaiyou because Huaiyou wants to take back Haizhou. I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage yet, right?"

"Not necessarily." Yuan Wuwei answered two words briefly.

"Not necessarily?" Yuan Wuwei was surprised, put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yuan Wuwei: "Qilang, what's the matter?"

"I guess this time Huaiyou may not be limited to taking back Haizhou. Jiang Feng may take advantage of the situation and fight." Yuan Wuwei said a few words: "It may even be very fierce."

"What did you hear? The Huaiyou Army has been mobilized very much? What did Jiang Feng do?" Yuan Wuwei went from Shansang and Linhuan to check the defense and social security situation in various places, so he didn't have time to learn about the other things. So when he heard Yuan Wuwei say this, he immediately realized that the situation was wrong.

"It's not sure yet, but it's definitely not just taking it back to Haizhou. I guess Huaiyou will attack Mizhou and even Denglai two states. They have already pulled away a lot of the troops in Huainan and are shrinking the troops stationed in Yunzhou. Xuzhou seems to be mobilizing the troops on a large scale, so I feel that Huaiyou will make big moves."

Yuan Wuwei dared not say 100%, but based on all the signs and his judgment on Jiang Feng's personal style, he felt that Jiang Feng would play a big move.

Yuan Wuwei didn't think much and immediately ordered his personal guard to bring up the map. The two of them looked carefully under the candle, and they didn't even have the intention to eat.

"The information from the detailed feedback from the Zhifangfang showed that the Huaiyou Army in the Huainan prefectures had contracted a lot, and it was suspected that it should have been transferred to Huainbei, but if it was just to attack Haizhou, it would not require so many troops." Yuan Wuwei introduced: "There is one possibility that the Huaiyou Army might have to raid Mizhou, so that the two prefectures in Haimi and the entire Pinglu army can be cut off. In this way, Huaiyou not only took back Haizhou, but also reaped interest on Mizhou, and also directly threatened the two prefectures in Denglai."

"But this means that the Huaiyou peace and Pinglu have started a full war. Wang Shouzhong probably won't tolerate the Huaiyou Army occupying Mizhou, so he almost put a knife on Pinglu's neck." Yuan Wuwei pondered: "The Pinglu Army is not the Taining Army, but he still has some confidence. Even if Wang Shouzhong is cowardly, he will not be vague about this issue of Pinglu's survival. Haizhou and Mizhou will definitely increase their defensive forces, and Huaiyou will not succeed so easily."

"That's why Jiang Feng pulled troops from Huainan, and he also wanted to make a desperate move." Yuan Wuwei bounced his finger on the map, "Realistically speaking, Huaiyou should have rested like us, but Jiang Feng likes this kind of thing that he can try his best."

"He is a poor family and is alone. It is reasonable to try his best, but we have the entire family, so we have to consider more." Yuan Wuwei sighed softly, "But if this continues, if Huaiyou succeeds in Pinglu, especially if he takes over Haizhou, he will get all the salt benefits, and we may not be able to control the other party."

"Third brother, what I worry about is not over here." Yuan Wuwei hesitated for a moment, "I'm also worried that Jiang Feng's appetite is even bigger..."

"Oh?" Yuan Wuwei was shocked, "You mean he wanted to swallow Pinglu in one bite? This is impossible! Pinglu's army is 70,000 to 80,000, and it is definitely not comparable to those of Huaibei's troops with shortage of soldiers and minor generals. Even if Jiang Feng does not leave one soldier or one soldier, he will not be able to take down the entire Pinglu. Once it becomes a protracted war, he should know the consequences!"

"But if he doesn't fight a protracted war, he will adopt the beheading strategy?" Yuan Wuwei's eyes fell on Qingzhou on the map. "I always feel that he has worked so hard at this time, and even spared no effort to leave the flaws for us and Nanyang. It shouldn't be as simple as occupying an extra Mizhou. It's better to just kill Qingzhou instead of just like that!"
