Section 274 Pleading

When Jiang Feng received the news, he was already on his way from Yangzhou to Xuzhou.

Because it was a letter delivered by the peregrine falcon, the content of the letter was quite detailed, so Jiang Feng could understand the situation in Caizhou.

There is no doubt that Caizhou and Shatuo people have hooked up. The things that have been shown before, such as Shi Jingtang's troops frequently performing martial arts around Songzhou, and An Chongrong set up camp on the Caopu line, all seem to be fake actions that confuses Xuzhou.

The key is that you have to believe it, but you dare not believe it. With the mobility of Shatuo Iron Cavalry, you can break into two or three hundred miles in one or two days, catch it off guard, and you can stir up the wind and rain in your hinterland. Jiang Feng didn't expect that Caozhou, which he had just been included, was beaten to be abolished again, so he had to temporarily let Shangyunxi be a little calmer to observe the movement.

Unexpectedly, this view really made some misfortune happen. Of course, this misfortune is not from Xuzhou, but from Nanyang.

Jiang Feng only stayed in Yangzhou for five days, and stopped moving the troops two days ago, and the wind and rain were stormy for two days. The last day seemed to be a little bit rainy after the rain.

But on the last day, Jiang Feng only showed his face and boarded the ship and left, which made many Yangzhou gentry and merchants who were still unsatisfied with regret. Before they understood the true intentions of the Prince of Pengcheng, they really dared not refuse to accept Yan Xu's step-by-step pressing.

Jiang Feng's explanation to Yan Xu was that he needed to raise enough military funds for 30,000 troops to fight for half a year within one month, including food and money, but not weapons and armor.

This condition is not harsh, but it is not easy. It is not enough to scrape this layer of skin from the gentry of Yangzhou. It is not enough to do anything without ruthlessness, and it is not enough to destroy one or two families.

However, with Jiang Feng's five-day vocation in Yangzhou, all that remains is coercion and temptation. For Yan Xu, this is not a complicated matter. As long as there is a backing, it is just a matter of time.

Jiang Feng also believed in Yan Xu and Yan Xu's methods. As long as Yan Keqiu's descendants could pick up half of his father's ability, they would be enough to spread the court.

But Jiang Feng didn't expect that he would see a smooth trip to Yangzhou, but something like this happened again.

The damn Yuan family in Caizhou is really the one who can't be beaten to death. Even if he doesn't want to die, he won't die. The key is that the Yuan family has been trying to die repeatedly and has not died yet. They still live happily, which makes people feel so sorry.

But then again, if the Yuan family really had no movement in the face of such an opportunity, Jiang Feng would really be suspicious, which would not be in line with Yuan's nature of trouble.

But this time, Yuan's family was playing too much and they were going to raid Bizhou.

The purpose of the raid on Bizhou is probably not to annex Bizhou, but to completely defeat the Liu family so that Caizhou can take over Shenzhou and Anzhou to the south. This is the analysis of the Privy Council.

Jiang Feng agreed with this judgment. As long as the Yuan family successfully attacked Bizhou, the Nanyang Army defense line on Fangchengshan, Funiu Mountain will definitely collapse. The Nanyang Army has never been an army good at fighting against the wind. Once the Jin army goes south to Nanyang, the Yuan family will definitely not be able to retain Bizhou and can only hand it over to the Jin army. However, Li Cunhou is probably willing to hand over the two prefectures of Shen'an to the Yuan family.

Yuan now believes that the Shatu people dare not make enemies on all sides, but they are not worried that the Shatu people will attack them after the Shatu people annex Nanyang?

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sneer. Perhaps after the Yuan family felt that after the Shatu people annexed Nanyang, they would realize that the situation in the south was different from that in the north, and then join forces with the Shatu people to challenge Xuzhou? This is a good plan.

As expected, the enemy was lenient, Jiang Feng never thought that after reaching an agreement with Caizhou on the division of Songzhou, he could turn his enemies into friends with Caizhou. Even if Caizhou vowed to hook up on the topic of "death of lips and teeth", Jiang Feng just thought that it was just a matter of knowing that it was not a hurry and followed.

Just now I discussed Nanyang with Caizhou. Caizhou and Xuzhou should work together to deal with the Shatuo people's offensive. As soon as I turned around, Caizhou joined the Shatuo people, and this was about to stab Nanyang in the back.

I have to say that the Yuan family in Caizhou is cruel and vicious, and this ability to turn things around is really smooth. Jiang Feng guessed that Nanyang should have been blinded by them, but he didn't know if it was still time.

But from another perspective, Jiang Feng did not think that Shatuo people went south to Nanyang to Xuzhou was a bad thing.

The territory controlled by the Liu family is not large, but Nanyang, Bizhou and Suizhou are both the basic structures of Nanyang. It can be said that the power in these states is deeply rooted. Even if they get the support of Caizhou to break the defense line on Fangchengshan, Funiu Mountain, it may not be easy for the Shatuo people to conquer Nanyang City.

Nanyang is known as the heroic city of the Central Plains after Bianluo, and its internal stability is far from comparable to Daliang, whose original aspirations have dispersed. The Jin army has come from afar. It is even more difficult to capture Nanyang City, which has a large wall, which has a large accumulation of money and has a common hatred of the enemy.

Jiang Feng's thoughts gradually became clear. Perhaps Caizhou only saw this and felt that he would let them do whatever he wanted? Or maybe Caizhou felt that he had just captured Chu Yang and was about to advance to Heshuo, so he was unable to interfere in the war in Nanyang?

So how should I deal with it now?

This also troubles Jiang Feng a little.

The war in the north cannot be delayed anymore. Yan Xu has promised himself that he would get what he wanted as scheduled, and to support the Heshuo Army stationed in Puzhou and the Pinglu Army stationed in Qingzhou, and to go north without any worries. If he drags on, Jiang Feng is worried that something will change. Yelu Deguang will not be unable to see the changes in the situation in the Central Plains. The Shatuo people chose Nanyang as their target, but in fact they gave up their intention to be an enemy with Xuzhou in the short term. So where will Xuzhou attack lead point be? The Khitans should consider it.

When fighting, you have to unexpectedly get the best results. Just like when the Yuan family in Caizhou wants to attack Nanyang, they also want to attack Zhang Chujin and Yelu Deguang.

But what about Nanyang?

After receiving the news, Jiang Feng had ordered Chai Yong to return the Wuning Army immediately and gather it to go westward to Guangzhou.

This is also reasonable. Nanyang has already negotiated with Xuzhou to hand over Guangzhou back to Xuzhou, and Wuning's army will not attract attention when it enters Guangzhou.

But Gwangju alone is not enough.

Jiang Feng's eyes were already on Shen and Anzhou.

The key is that it is impossible to start now.

First, there is no suitable reason, and second, the food appearance is too ugly and can easily cause criticism. Of course, it doesn't matter if criticism is, but Liu Xuan is not so easy to be convinced now. It is not appropriate to fight this battle.

What we need to consider now is whether we want to disclose this news to Nanyang, and whether it is still time to do so?

This requires a degree to be mastered.

Jiang Feng was unwilling to show kindness to Nanyang on this issue, but it turned out that Nanyang was not grateful and thought that he was deliberately suppressing time. Even if he really suppressed time, he could not let the other party feel it.

According to the news from the Privy Council and Wuwentang, the Caizhou Army should have sent troops within one or two days of receiving the news. If he immediately passed the news to Nanyang, it might cause some trouble to the Caizhou Army. However, judging from the situation under Wuwentang, if the Caizhou Army launches a raid on the front line of Bizhou, Nanyang may not be able to adjust.

It may be too late to go in time. It is not that simple to adjust the army, it takes time.

Since that's the case, you can notify Nanyang of the news and show goodwill to Nanyang.

Caizhou's attack is not in line with Xuzhou's interests, but if Nanyang adjusts in time and Caizhou cannot conquer Bizhou, it is also not in line with Xuzhou's interests. It is to make both of them intertwined and unable to escape, which is most in line with Xuzhou's interests.

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

Liu Yu's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, calmed his mood slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "When will the prince get this situation?"

"One hour ago." Jiang Feng said frankly: "To be honest, Gu did not expect that the Yuan family in Caizhou would be so vicious. It was the news from Langshan that confirmed that Yuan's army had indeed gathered in Langshan again. Gu could not guess what other intentions could be for Yuan's family besides using troops in Bizhou, so I specially told you."

Liu Yu's upright body stood proudly like a lonely pine, and his undulating chest indicated that the girl was in a very uneasy mood at this time.

"Why did the prince teach me?"

"Xiao Zi may also know that the lonely Wuning Army and Huai You Army had just captured Chu Yang, while the Pinglu Army monk Yunxi's troops were adjusting to the Ziqing line, and the Tianping Army was confronting the Shatuo people on the Caozhou line,..."

"The prince does not need to be explained. My sister only hopes that the prince can give a clear explanation." Liu Xu interrupted Jiang Feng's excuse a bit rudely.

Jiang Feng was also a little embarrassed, indeed a little unkind. If not, it wouldn’t work, it would be fine. If it would be fine, it would be meaningless to say that these useless things would be meaningless.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Feng said straight: "What do you hope that Gu can do?"

Liu Yu was also in a state of confusion. The Yuan army in Caizhou suddenly turned against each other. The most important thing is that Nanyang's defense direction is on the line of Fangchengshan, Funiu Mountain. Moreover, the Shatuo people have not even made any movement yet, but Caizhou army took the initiative. Such a half-hit attack is really difficult for Nanyang to accept.

"Please ask the county prince Ziqing army and Ya army to attack Songzhou and Bozhou, and the Wuning army crosses north to attack Yingzhou!" Liu Zuo said with gritted teeth.

Jiang Feng was stunned. His appetite was quite good. He was not like this, right? He almost counted all the mobile forces in Jiang Feng's hands.

Jiang Feng was about to speak, but Liu Ju continued: "The prince does not need to explain, and the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth cannot be said. My younger sister knows that the prince is in the world, and Nanyang dares not fight with the prince, but Nanyang cannot and should not fall under Shatuo's iron hooves."

Jiang Feng was slightly moved, but he also had a toothache.
