Chapter 23: Yuwen Seeks Things

"That Yuwen, I don't know what you think about the situation in the future?"

Li Gengyun pointed out the reason for Baili Xi's miscalculation for Guo Feng, and he thought of Guo Feng, as one of the grassroots five in the original book, how strong his strategy is, which is also what Li Gengyun wants to know now.

"Brother Yun, do you mean the current stage or the next three or five years?"

"Let's talk about it."

Li Gengyun didn't expect that Guo Feng had already thought about what would happen in three or five years, which he didn't expect, originally he thought that Guo Feng would think of what to do next, who to go to or analyze the current situation, but there was such a harvest that also surprised him.

"Hmm!"

Guo Feng nodded, then stood up, and said in front of Li Gengyun and Zhao Zhen: "Queen, Brother Yun!" There are also two masters of Baibeilou! Looking at the overall situation, it is only a matter of time before the Northern Yuan Dynasty unifies the Central Plains. The short is three or five months, and the slow is three or five years. However, it is certain that once the Northern Yuan stabilized the situation in the Central Plains, they would inevitably cross the Yellow Water, and Jiangzhou, Nanzhou, Jiaozhou further south, and Yizhou in the southeast would become the main battlefields. ”

"If the Northern Yuan wants to seize the land of the five states south of the Yellow Water, it must take Xiangzhou, where the three waters converge. As the convergence of the three rivers of Yellow Water, Xiangshui and Hanshui, Xiangzhou has a unique geographical location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in addition to the three level plains, the landform of Xiangzhou is mostly hilly landform, and the mountains are vertical and horizontal, which is very suitable for the drill of the naval army and the forest army. ”

Guo Feng talked eloquently and analyzed the geographical location, geomorphological characteristics and humanistic characteristics of Xiangzhou. Geographically speaking, the three waters converge, the treasure land of feng shui, and the three levels are very suitable for the cultivation of grain and grass, which is conducive to the supply of grain and grass in the future. In terms of geomorphological characteristics, Sanshui is suitable for training the naval army, and the mountains are suitable for the training of the forest army, both of which are the most scarce arms of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so if the Northern Yuan wants to march south, it must cultivate a group of powerful naval troops and forest troops through Xiangzhou.

The third and most important point is the humanistic characteristics of Xiangzhou. The people here are fierce, young men and even women are mostly good at dancing knives and guns, and the Xiang army used to be the strongest army in the Great Song Dynasty. Not only the martial arts prevailed, but also Xiangzhou is also a famous scribe treasure land, since the opening of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiangzhou has produced a total of five prime ministers, thirteen imperial histories and twenty champions, which is ranked first in the twelve states of the Great Song Dynasty. However, ten years ago, there was a Lin Li party dispute, because the civil ministers and military generals in Xiangzhou were all members of the Lin Party, and the emperor Liu Yu preferred the Li Party, so since then they have been quite repulsive to the Xiangzhou scribes and even the military generals. And the reason why Zhao Mei had a bad relationship with Xiangzhou Quantong was also because Zhao Mei used to be a member of the Li Party, and Quantong was indeed a supporter of the Lin Party.

Therefore, the current Xiangzhou can really be said to be the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, if the Northern Yuan gets Xiangzhou, then the talents of Xiangzhou will become a powerful springboard for them to further dominate the world.

"In this way, we are bound to win this Xiangzhou?"

When Zhao Zhen heard Guo Feng's analysis, he also felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, nodded and asked, "But this is all bad with my father, will he tolerate us?" As Mr. Guo said, Xiangzhou is already the most desired piece of fat in Beiyuan's heart, and I think it will definitely concentrate forces to operate against Xiangzhou. Then do we still want to go to Xiangzhou? ”

"Queen! With only Xiangzhou, how can only the soldiers of Xiangzhou fight against the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Northern Yuan? The lands of Northern Xinjiang, Xizhou, Lizhou, Sizhou, Dongzhou and Chaozhou will soon be controlled by the Northern Yuan, and there are more than 100,000 Royal Forest Army surrendered in the imperial city, with such a strong combat effectiveness, it is absolutely impossible to fight him. ”

"So we're going to Nanchu to borrow troops! Once we borrow 100,000 soldiers from Southern Chu, and then call for the anti-Yuan forces in the five states south of Huangshui to unite, then we will use the strength of the five states to fight against the Northern Yuan army, and then there will be hope for victory! ”

At this time, Xiangrui couldn't help but interject and said, when she finished speaking, she saw everyone looking at her strangely, her face turned red, and then pointed at Li Gengyun and said, "This is what he said, what he said!" ”

"Hey, I said Miss Xiangrui, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! This is obviously what you said, how can you say that I said it? ”

Li Gengyun immediately defended, and at the same time he put on an inexplicable expression and told everyone that it was not his idea.

However, among all the people present, except for Guo Feng, who heard of this plan for the first time, the other three knew that this was Li Gengyun's idea, but Lin Sen and Zhao Zhen did not break it. And after Guo Feng heard what Xiangrui said, he was stunned for a while, and then he quickly thought about something in his mind, and then clapped his hands and said to Li Gengyun: "Brother Yun! It's amazing! Why didn't I think of that?! ”

"No, it wasn't my idea, she said it, Xiangrui!"

"No, no, Brother Yun, wait a while!"

At this time, the expression on Guo Feng's face also became solemn, he paced back and forth, shook his head, knocked his head with a finger for a while, and put his finger into his nostrils for a while, and then picked up a small jar of wine from the corner of the front hall, and muttered to himself while drinking: "If you borrow troops from Southern Chu, there are 100,000 troops, plus 30,000 Xiangzhou Quantong troops, 30,000 Baitou troops in Jiangzhou, and about 100,000 Han troops in Nanzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, and 260,000 troops against the army of the Northern Yuan, Even if you can't win all, at least you can be south of Huangshui. ”

"However, it is not a matter to the south of the Yellow Water, the fertile land of the Central Plains has been the granary of the world since ancient times, and the south is mountainous and foresty, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. And with so many coalition forces on the southern side, if they are in the south, I am afraid that everyone has their own thoughts, and it will not take three years for the alliance to collapse. ”

Guo Feng said to himself, Li Gengyun was also pleasantly surprised when he heard it, he had always been worried about such a problem, which was also a problem he had been struggling with when he read the original book. Why after Baili Xi and Zhao Zhen came to the south, so many people were willing to follow them, not because of their identity, but because of the benefits they gained after helping them succeed. Just like in the original book, after Zhao Zhen became the empress, those former lords of a state were rewarded quite well, just like the Nanzhou general Hua Teng and his son Hua Xu, who were even named the Marquis of Luyuan, with three thousand food estates, and it ended here in the original book. So what happened later, even the author doesn't know. But now it is the problem that Li Gengyun and Zhao Zhen will face in the future, because the opponent is not Beiyuan, but Beiyuan, who has Baili Xi!
