Li Zhang said that many prefectures in northern Guizhou were conquered by the Tian family of Sizhou. This information shows that the Liaoren tribe who expressed respect and surrender to Qianzhou was probably instructed by the Tian family of Sizhou.

Li Zhang said that the third Bozhou Yang family, Bozhou is located in the south of Yuzhou and in the west of the Tian family in Sizhou.

The sphere of influence is Bozhou (Zunyi region) and Yizhou, which is separated from Gulin County under Luzhou by the Chishui River.

Wei Fufeng and the Tian family in Sizhou only sought peace, but had long been hostile to the Yang family in Bozhou.

The Yang family of Bozhou was not far from Yuzhou and Luzhou. The Yang family of Bozhou was the Marquis of Bozhou granted the title of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Fufeng had a grudge against the Luo family of Bozhou.

Bozhou Luo family is a subordinate of the Yang family of Bozhou. Bozhou was originally a hereditary local official of the Luo family. The Luo family once ruled Bozhou for a hundred years.

But twenty years ago, Nanzhao entered the Bozhou area, and Luo Taiwang, the leader of the Luo family, fled from Bozhou and defected to the Luo family, a noble family of Hejiang, Luzhou.

Later, Yang Duan, a native of Taiyuan, applied for recruitment and regained Bozhou under the order of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Duan led many clan surnames to form military forces, united with the Luo family of Hejiang, Luzhou, and fought hard to regain the Bozhou area.

Yang Duan and Luo Taiwang reached a joint peace and governance of Bozhou, so Yang Duan became the Marquis of Bozhou and served as the governor of Luo's family.

Wei Fufeng arrived in Luzhou to seize the power, borrowed the refugee army and the Dongchuan Town Army to raid and destroy the Hejiang noble family, and formed hatred with the Bozhou Luo family.

Bozhou was under Qianzhong Road. After Wei Fufeng became the governor of Qianzhong, Bozhou did not make any statement.

Wei Fufeng was alert to the forces of Bozhou, but did not want to attack Bozhou. First, the Sichuan Jieduan had not yet established a stable foothold, and second, Yang Duan of Bozhou had no hostility, and they were both officials and marquises granted by the imperial court.

Third, according to information, Bozhou Hou Yangduan is a person who is good at military and political affairs.

After entering the anchor state, he conquered the Imperial tribes in the Bozhou area, and vigorously developed production, developed water conservancy, and promoted the planting of rice, making Bozhou gradually become a rich place with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food.

Wei Fufeng did not want to provoke the governor of Bozhou. Yang Duan occupied Bozhou. Although it posed a threat to his rule, it also blocked the invasion from Nanzhao and Qiannan Shengjiao.

However, the strength of the Tian family in Sizhou made Wei Fufeng worry and fear. The Tian family had the ability to gather tens of thousands of troops and go out to Wujiang to attack Qianzhou and Fuzhou.

Wei Fufeng was worried that one day he and Li Maozhen would start a war in the north of the river, and would the Sizhou Tian family stab in the back?

Having concerns, Wei Fufeng looked at the overall situation and thoughts and weighed the pros and cons, he eagerly advanced to Tanzhou, because Tanzhou is an important part of strategic defense and can guard the area west of Dongting Lake.

After occupying Tanzhou, Wei Fufeng waited for an opportunity to seize Jingzhou, making the subordinates connected together.

Looking forward to the future, use the Han River as a barrier to defend and form strategic defenses for Jinzhou, Junzhou, Xiangfan and Jingzhou.

As the saying goes, he is worried about his affairs. As a ruler of one side, Wei Fufeng cannot avoid looking at the world situation. He believes that Zhu Wen, the Xuanwu Army in the Central Plains, will be similar to Cao Cao in the future.

Xuanwu Army belongs to long-term views, while Fengxiang Army Li Maozhen is close to the enemy.

Wei Fufeng did not have enough confidence to resist the Fengxiang army. If the Fengxiang army gathered a large army to start a war, he would voluntarily give up the Luzhou area north of the Yangtze River and Changzhou, and defend the territory south of the Yangtze River with the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

......

For Li Zhang and Wei Fufeng had a sense of trust and respect, he also needed the assistance of his advisers, so he expressed his strategic ideas.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, look at Li Zhang’s thoughts.

Li Zhang was surprised and said, "Is it a good idea to give up half of the territory of Luzhou and Yuzhou?"

"After a lasting strategic idea, Fengxiang's army attacked southern Sichuan, I had no confidence in defending, and wanted to retreat to the south of the river and free up my troops to fight in Jingzhou." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Sir, Li Maozhen has occupied Xichuan for a long time, why not join forces with the Dongchuan army to attack Xichuan?" Li Zhang said with a strategy.

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "The Dongchuan Army is unwilling to join forces with the Southern Sichuan Army. On the contrary, the Dongchuan Army is more likely to join forces with Li Maozhen."

Li Zhang nodded clearly and said, "The Dongchuan Army is even more afraid of the Lord."

"The Dongchuan Army refused to join forces with our army. One was the previous resentment, and the other was the military and political rule of our army, which made the real power generals and officials of the Dongchuan Army hostile to each other." Wei Fufeng said.

Li Zhang nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "This time we are entering Tanzhou, our army plans to replace the military farmland military mansion, collect the fields of Luzhou and Yuzhou north of the river as public fields, and replace the fields in Yanzhou and Langzhou. You are responsible for this."

"My subordinates understand and do their best." Li Zhang replied.

Wei Fufeng also said: "The population of southern Sichuan is four or five out of ten refugees from Jingnan. The refugees are eager to return home. In the future, our army will seize Jingzhou and allow refugees to return to the situation to strengthen the defensive power of the Wei family in Jinzhou."

Li Zhang hesitated and said, "Sir, my subordinates think that if the migrants belong to Jinzhou, will the power of southern Sichuan be weakened? One day, the power of southern Sichuan is weaker than that of Jinzhou, so I may fall into a passive position."

Wei Fufeng said: "Your words are correct. My army and my grandfather have agreed to implement military and political affairs in southern Sichuan south of the Yangtze River."

Li Zhang shook his head and said, "I think it is inappropriate for my subordinates. I cannot tolerate humility in planning the country. Otherwise, as my grandchildren, I will become more and more passive in the future."

Wei Fufeng was silent, and after a while, he said: "The current migrants have returned mainly in Yanzhou, Langzhou and Tanzhou."

"My subordinates suggest that migrants should also settle in several states in Badong. Once they have no choice but to give up some of Luzhou and Yuzhou, migrants can strengthen the foundation of Badong's defense. If the adults lose the salt well in Shu, then the Yun'an salt well in Kuizhou must not be lost." Li Zhangzhengrong said.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Yun'an Yanjing really cannot be missed."

"It is not only the Yun'an Salt Well, but if you gain Jingzhou in the future, you must also be under the rule of the union. You must not let it go. With the granary of Jingzhou, only the union can take the initiative." Li Zhang suggested.

Wei Fufeng frowned slightly and said, "Jingzhou, if I owned it alone, I am afraid I will be separated from my relatives in Jinzhou."

"I think that once Jinzhou is strong, it will be separated from the adults. When Jinzhou is weak, it can only rely on the adults." Li Zhang said.

Wei Fufeng thought about it and said, "What you said makes sense. The weak can only rely on the strong."

Li Zhangdao: "Once you occupy Jingzhou, Badong several states, Tanzhou, Qianzhou and Yuzhou, you will be able to form a strategic defense that is integrated, which can not only guard against the sneak attacks of the Daoli people in Qianzhong, but also use the advantage of the local area to garrison Fuzhou and block the enemy troops in Shunjiang to attack Jiangling.

The subordinates believe that the biggest military flaw of the Jingnan Jiedushi is that it is difficult to defend against the raids of the army in the upper reaches of the river."

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "What our army is most concerned about is the Xuanwu army. Now that the Xuanwu army has taken Shouzhou, it has already had a gateway to advance to Huainan Road."

"My subordinates believe that the threat of the Xuanwu Army is not worth worrying about in recent years, because the Xuanwu Army

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There are two powerful enemies, one is the Hedong Army and the other is the Weibo Jiedushi in Hebei." Li Zhang said.

Wei Fufeng nodded in recognition, and Li Zhang said: "The subordinates believe that the threats in recent years are mainly Yang Xingmi from Huainan Road, Zhong Chuan, the Zhennan Jiedushi of Hongzhou, the Dongchuan Army and Fengxiang Army in Shu, the Tian Family of Sizhou, and the Yang Family of Bozhou."

"Oh, Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi are still fighting in chaos. Do you think Yang Xingmi will win in the end?" Wei Fufeng asked.

Li Zhang said: "There is a comparison with Sun Ru, at best, is similar to Xiang Yu, but is much stupider than Xiang Yu. Yang Xingmi is a person like Liu Bang. Therefore, he believes that Yang Xingmi will win. If Yang Xingmi wins, he will occupy the lower reaches of the river and can quickly become a powerful vassal with sea salt and food."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Huainan Road is indeed a treasure land of grain and salt, which is stronger than Shu."

Li Zhang said: "With food and salt benefits, coupled with elite soldiers and strong generals, it will definitely be the biggest threat to adults in the future. Adults should know that the army that has experienced bloody battles has very strong combat power. Perhaps the thousands of soldiers and generals in Huainan can match the tens of thousands of military forces in southern Sichuan."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "You are right. Our army went to Hedong to fight and knew what a powerful army was. In comparison, most of the military forces in southern Sichuan were weak troops suitable for farming. Xuanwu Army could be evenly matched with the Hedong Army, so our army was concerned about the Xuanwu Army's invasion."

"I think that when dealing with the Xuanwu army, we can get far and near attacks and join forces with the Hedong army." Li Zhang said.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "You said Yang Xingmi is the biggest threat. Could it be that he suggested that our army send troops to the lower reaches of the river?"

Li Zhangzhengrong said: "If the fisherman can take advantage of the situation between the snipe and the clam fight, he can take advantage of the situation to seize the western prefectures of Zhejiang (Nanjing area) in the lower reaches of the river, he will naturally be able to curb Yang Xingmi's future strength, but there are many vassal states that block the tiger's eyes and it will be difficult to occupy the profit."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "If our army marched into the lower reaches of the river, Hongzhou and Eyue would definitely send troops to compete for food, and Jingnan Chengxian would also take advantage of the situation to counterattack. In addition, the army of chaos and war is brave, and the military power is less, it can only deliver vegetables."

Li Zhang nodded and said, "My lord can only take the capture of Jingnan first."

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "It is not easy to obtain Jingnan, and obtaining it will also cause panic among the imperial court and the powerful vassals around him."

Li Zhang was stunned and didn't know what to say. He thought Wei Fufeng was a hero who pursued great achievements and should not be satisfied with the current situation.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "This army thinks it is easier to develop southward. After taking down Tanzhou, it can continue to seize Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Daozhou, and Lianzhou. Then it will march into the territory of the Guiguan Observation Envoy (Guangxi) and replace those who have made up their edicts and appointed them."

Li Zhangqing, Wei Fufeng said again: "I don't underestimate the territory of Liaoyi. If I can occupy the territory of Guiguan, each state can recruit at least 500 soldiers. If Guiguan has twelve states, it can obtain 6,000 troops to fight in other places."

Li Zhang nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "When Huang Chao turned to the north and south, the authority of the southern government was severely damaged. The local forces in the southern region were not stronger than those in the northern region. I sent 20,000 troops to sweep Guiguan, and then marched under the rule of Lingnan Jiedu (Guangdong) to obtain sea salt and sea merchant areas."

Li Zhang nodded and said excitedly: "What the lord said is very good. It is easier to march into Guiguan and Lingnan than to seize Jingnan, and it will not attract the attention of powerful vassals and the court. If you have the opportunity, you can even enter the eastern Zhejiang area."

"It is probably not easy to march into eastern Zhejiang. Eastern Zhejiang (Yuezhou) has a rich geographical location. I heard that Dong Chang's troops occupying eastern Zhejiang have more food." Wei Fufeng said.
