"My little sister wants to say that the Shatuo people seem to be strong and have now occupied most of the Central Plains, but their weaknesses have been exposed. In fact, they are gradually falling into a quagmire like Daliang, which is that they have the four-war land of Central Plains, but they do not have the ability to unify the world. They are surrounded by strong enemies, and Jiang Feng is much smarter than him. But I still don't understand why Jiang Feng didn't take this opportunity to go south and take down the eastern prefectures of Jiangnan, but went to Heshuo in the north?"

Liu showed a confused look on his face, "You must know that Yue State is not his opponent at all, and the ant thief is not worth mentioning. Just taking Chu and Yang Prefectures, can it be said that the prosperity of Chu and Yang Prefectures blinded his eyes? Taking Jiangnan Dongdao, he will truly have half of the country. It can be said that as long as he does not make strategic mistakes, he will be invincible."

This is also what Liu is most puzzled about.

As I imagined, if Jiang Feng annexed the Jiangnan East Prefectures in one fell swoop, owned two fundamental places, Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road, and Pinglu Ziqing, Wuning and Tianping Zhuzhenhu were in the Central Plains, even if he lost several battles, it would be difficult to hurt his fundamentals. It can be said that tactical failures and setbacks are no longer enough to affect his strategic advantages.

He could use the strong grain, money and strength of Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road to accumulate strength in an orderly manner. Moreover, with the iron smelting ability shown in Xuzhou now, in this era, steel, grain and salt are basically the three most important elements. In addition, Huainan and Jiangnan are also silk, porcelain, tea and cloth, which can make profits, and Wuning, Tianping, Pinglu, and Ziqing towns are all northern regions famous for their military power. Whether it is the Shatuo people or any other force, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to it.

"Going to Heshuo?" Liu Yong was surprised and stared at his younger sister, "Do you judge Jiang Feng is going to go to Heshuo?"

"Hmph, it's not that I went north to Heshuo. Could it be that Jiang Feng would win and lose with Shatuo people in Bianluo?" Liu nodded slightly, his eyes clear.

"You work so hard to make friends with Tuyuhun people. Have you noticed that during this period? Wang Miao, the head of the General Staff of the Privy Council, has not appeared. It is said that he went to Puzhou. Jiang Feng received tens of thousands of Daliang surrendered troops, all of which were arranged in Puzhou. Shangyunxi stationed in Puzhou also sent a pass to Jiang Feng. What is Wang Miao going to do? I don't think they are going to fight against the Shatuo people, so where is the target?"

"Shang Yunxi surrendered and reorganized Daliang surrendered troops. This is normal. It may not be necessary to use troops to Heshuo, right?" Liu Yong seemed disbelieving, "The battle between Chu and Yang states has not yet ended. How could Jiang Feng have such a big ambition and appetite? Maybe Jiang Feng is just trying to reorganize the army to prevent problems before it happens? You can't just submit tens of thousands of surrendered troops to serve, and don't even care?"

"How is that simple?" Liu shrugged his nose contemptuously, "Now all the towns in Xuzhou need weapons, armor and military supplies urgently, but I bet that the weapons, armor and food in Xuzhou must be leaning towards the Lu army in Puzhou Peace. If the elder brother doesn't believe it, arrange for us to do it carefully here."

Liu Yong still doesn't believe it.

If it is true as Liu said, then Jiang Feng is really a war madman.

When he fought with the Shatuo people in Caozhou, he turned around and launched a war against Chu and Yang. The battle between Chu and Yang has not yet ended, and he is preparing for the battle against Heshuo again. Does Jiang Feng really regard the Shatuo people and other surrounding forces as nothing?

"Okay, brother doesn't have to worry too much about it. The distance between Xuzhou and our Nanyang has been set aside." Liu Buwu sighed, "Xuzhou and ours are different."

The struggle for interests between his father and uncle has caused the conflict between the two Liu to rise and fall from time to time. The external pressure is huge, and the internal conflict can be suppressed. Once the external pressure is slightly reduced, the internal conflicts will rapidly intensify. In the final analysis, the interests of the two branches are no longer one. To be precise, the two Lius are more like ordinary allies than family, and even ordinary allies are not as good as ordinary allies.

Liu Yong was silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, in just a few years, a small force that had to rely on Nanyang's support to survive, has now jumped to Nanyang and even became the largest force in China and Turkey. This contrast is really too big.

"By the way, what does that have to do with whether we meet Tuyuhun people this time?" Liu Yong asked suddenly.

"Xuzhou strengthens its relationship with the Tuyuhun people, and we now have a desire for Xuzhou. Perhaps we can find some Xuzhou intentions from this Tuyuhun Princess Mulan." Liu smiled, "Although there is no connection between us and the Tuyuhun people in the short term, it is still very meaningful to insert this wedge between the Shatu people and the Khitan people in the north. The situation in China and Turkey is ever-changing. If Jiang Feng thinks so, the situation may not develop as he thinks. This may be our opportunity."

Liu Yong looked at Liu with a strange expression, "Little sister, have you ever thought about it? Maybe you will be a wife in a year and you will be a member of the Jiang family."

Liu Weiwei was stunned and immediately Zhan Yan smiled and said, "So what? I will try to tie the interests of our Liu family and Jiang family together, and prosper together with prosperity and loss together with loss."

"How can there be such an easy thing in the world?" Liu Yong shook his head, and his eyes became a little more lonely. "The general situation in Xuzhou is now ready, and it is not okay if you and I don't admit it. In the future, Liu may have to follow the horse's tail, but if Jiang Feng really swept the world, what should we Liu?"

"So what? That's the time. Maybe it's a good choice for Liu to find a clan relative, right?" Liu's face was calm. "Where is the real step, it's not the Liu family that can stop it. That's the will of heaven. The intention to stop the torrent of history is like a mantis armed and can only be crushed to pieces. Why should we Liu be the one who goes against the trend?"

Liu Yong looked at the little sister with a steady look, and said nothing for a long time.

This sentence is heartbroken, but it is a big truth. If Jiang Feng destroyed all the Shatu people in one fell swoop, and then swept Hebei and wiped out the Khitan people, who could still stop him from unifying the world?

Nanyang or Caizhou? I'm afraid that if you want to go against the trend, the result will be torn to pieces.

Liu Yong is not a fool. In fact, during his time in Xuzhou, he also vaguely saw Jiang Feng's grand aura. He did not focus on the surrounding vassals at all. Instead, he directly made plans to build the world and took Chu Yang without taking advantage of the situation to go south to Jiangnan. That was because Jiangnan was so confident that it would be difficult to compete with him. Sooner or later, it would be the same.

Xuzhou did not list the vassals of Jiangnan as strong enemies at all.

Since that is the case, even if Liu Yong discovered this trend in advance, so what?

Could it be that after going back, I report to my father and uncle, to be wary of Jiang Feng?

Or call the police to the Shatuo people and ask them to be careful of Jiang Feng?

Is it meaningful? Will the Shatuo people let go of the conquest of Nanyang?

It is impossible for uncle and father to give up their past grudges and share the same hatred of the enemy.

So, what will happen to you, keep moving forward, and will not change because of this.

And I only need to do what I need to do now. As for who can explain it clearly in the future?

Just go and see.

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

Jiangdu, Yangzhou.

This is the main throat of the river to the north to connect the canal. It is the most popular Tongdu Dayi, which has been the first in hundreds of years, and the largest commercial port in Huainan and Jiangbei. The entire Huainan and salt are gathered here to trade, which makes Yangzhou rich and luxurious.

Since Yang Xingmi entered Yangzhou twice, Yangzhou has always been the essence of Wu. It has been forty or fifty years, but today, Yangzhou has finally ushered in a change of flag.

In the Battle of Shanyang, Chai Yong wiped out the Zhenhai Army left behind in Chuzhou, especially Tian Chunlai's navy swept the Wu navy on the canal, which made the Shanyang defenders fear it and their morale plummeted. Chai Yong restrained the infantry and launched an attack. It took only three days to break through the city. The Chuzhou defenders immediately surrendered, avoiding the disaster of the city destruction in Chuzhou.

After taking Chuzhou, Chai Yong led the army south.

After learning that Chai Yong's Wuning Army had taken Chuzhou, the Huai You Army led by Xu Ziqing and Zhang Ting were even more motivated. Kou Wenli led the Chaohu Navy to fight the Wu Navy at Jiangshuikou, defeating the Wu Navy twice, forcing the Wu Navy to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Huai You Army even concentrated its forces to attack Yangzhou City.

On May 23, just as the defense line of Yangzhou City was shaking and was about to break the city, the special envoy of Wu came from Jiangnan to discuss the surrender of Yangzhou. Mei Kuang did not dare to be good at it. On the one hand, he continued to order the Huaiyou Army to attack, and on the other hand, he used a peregrine falcon to send a message to Jiang Feng in Xuzhou to report the situation.

On May 26, Xuzhou wrote back, agreeing to discuss the transfer of Yangzhou on the premise of ensuring the safety of Yangzhou's money, money and gentry.

On May 28th, the Huai You Army entered the city, and the Donghai Army in Jiangdu City abandoned its weapons and surrendered.

On May 29th, Chai Yong's Wuning Army also arrived at the city of Jiangdu, but there was no war to fight, which made Chai Yong quite regretful.

"Chai Yong has seen Mei Shumi." Chai Yong took off his saddle and dismounted his horse. Chai Yong was still a few steps away from Mei Kuang and bowed his fists.

"Haha, Wulang, you and I are both old subordinates of the county prince, why should you be so polite?" Mei Kuang waved his hand and smiled, "You have worked hard day and night, but although you are anxious, you have to consider the mood of clearing and rebelling, right? Not only did you occupy Chuzhou, but you also have to steal the credit from Yangzhou. Are you not afraid that the Huai Youjun hates you for the rest of your life?"

Chai Yong's face turned red, Mei Kuang obviously saw his thoughts, and he didn't care about this, "Supreme, you know that someone is not a robbery."

"Well, I know, but Ziqing and Guozhi and others don't know the twists and turns here." Mei Kuang shook his head and sighed, "The past is over, so don't worry too much."

Mei Kuang knows the story here.
