As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. In fact, this statement is also absolute.

Whether in history or in later generations, weak countries abound, if diplomacy is useless, what do so many diplomats do, the weaker they are, the more they need diplomacy, try to establish friendly relations with other countries, and pull aid and sponsorship, perhaps the right to speak is indeed very small, and often needs to pay a certain price, but diplomacy is undoubtedly very important.

At this time, Sun Yu, although he had just raised the flag, and did not raise the flag of Xiao Yaoyu as agreed, let alone Zhou Shaoyu's flag, made it clear that he had the meaning of independence, sitting on Jiangxia, which means holding the Jianghan Plain in his hands, and this alone will not lack food and grass, at least it can ensure its own stability in the absence of foreign enemies.

Then let's look at a series of 'diplomatic' measures.

Raising the flag like this, on the surface, it is true that it offends Xiao Jiaowen and Zhou Shaoyu, but if the interests are dissatisfied, in the case of the situation and needs, those who should cooperate will not cooperate as usual.

As far as Xiao Yu's wife is concerned, it is very difficult to forcibly take Xiangyang and Jiangling, and without Sun Yu's cooperation, Xiao Jiwen will not think about attacking the city at all. In this way, it is equivalent to Xiao Yu's request for Sun Yu.

And how did Sun Yu do it? Or to be precise, how Ange does it. This woman is hard or soft, she has already eaten Sun Yu to death, and she almost obeys her words.

"Next, Yulang might as well write a letter to the imperial court, asking the Queen Mother and His Majesty to send an angel to thoroughly investigate the death of his father......," An Ge confidently proposed.

"When I wait for an incident, it's almost like rebellion, how can the court allow this?" Sun Yu was puzzled.

"No, whether you are rebellious or not, you and I don't count, but the Queen Mother has the final say." The corners of An Ge's mouth lifted. "For the Queen Mother, as long as it is not Xiao Jiao's sister-in-law, it makes no difference who occupies Jingzhou in the Sun family at this time, just ensure the safety of the waterway for the Queen Mother, at this point, whether it is you or Sun Shouren, there is no difference, yes, as long as you can show far more value than Sun Shouren, and Sun Shouren has no way out, then the Queen Mother Mo said that she promised a thorough investigation, and it is not necessary to directly give you the position of General Zhennan."

This is true, Gao Yuyao will not personally lead Jingzhou at all now. This kind of place will obviously become the land of the four wars next, and Gao Yuyao still has so much time to take care of it, so no matter whether it is Sun Shouren or Sun Yu, it goes without saying that he will defend the entire Jingzhou, as long as he ensures that the rivers and waterways are not lost, so that others cannot enter the Beijing division by water.

From this point of view, as long as Sun Yu performs enough and has enough reasons to step up, Gao Yuyao actually doesn't care.

As long as this is done, Sun Yu can ensure that the Liang side is worry-free, and he is not afraid that the rear will be requisitioned from Huizhou by the Liang.

An Ge continued: "In addition, I need to write a letter to Sun Shouren......

Before he finished speaking, Sun Yu said angrily: "You actually asked me to write a letter to the enemy who killed my father!? ”

Well, it looks like he has been 'poisoned', and he is convinced that Sun Shouren harmed his father.

An Ge is also a little helpless about this, Sun Yu is okay in all aspects, but he is easy to be rash, but young people are also normal, and because of this, it is better to control?

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Yulang gathers the crowd and rises, and 70,000 sons and daughters under his command help each other, it seems to be powerful, but it is a flower in the moon mirror in the water, except for the Jiangxia water division, the army formed by the water is not of great use, with the current strength alone, and enough to ensure revenge, the so-called big husband can bend and stretch, Yulang you are the dragon and phoenix, you can know the truth, this move is just a paralyzing move, the letter asked Sun Shouren to give a reasonable explanation, not really against him."

There are dragons and phoenixes among people or something, Sun Yu was embarrassed at first, but An Ge said a lot, and said something in a roundabout way, otherwise how could she follow him with all her heart, and now Sun Yu also feels that he is indeed talented and powerful. Otherwise, how could so many people gather together?

It's a pity that Sun Yu didn't know a lot of things at all, for example, An Ge was originally Xiao Yu's person, and all the original plans were not for Sun Yu at all. So behind the scenes, Sun Yu didn't know anything.

So what An Ge proposed, naturally there is another deep meaning, paralyzing Sun Shouren? What's the use of paralyzing him at this time? To be precise, it should be said that it is to add pressure to Xiao Jiwen.

If Sun Shouren and Sun Yu completely tear their faces, then Xiao Yuwen can just think about how to deal with Sun Shouren without any scruples, and as for Sun Yu's matter, she can talk about it later. But if the two grandsons are about to leave, Xiao Yuwen will naturally be vigilant, what if Sun Yu really sends troops to help Sun Shouren?

This is absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Jiwen, who has been planning Jingzhou for a long time, and this time the troops must be rewarded.

"Next, when the envoy was sent to Yuzhou, and the puppet emperor Huofeng secretly allied, Huofeng lacked food, everyone knows, and Jingzhou is rich, the land of fish and rice, the grain production is very high, and then promised that the two counties of Nanyang and Yiyang will be handed over to Yuzhou, Huofeng will definitely respond to this matter."

Nanyang County is located in the northeast of Jingzhou, next to Yuzhou, followed by Yiyang County, if Yiyang County goes down, it is already Jiangxia, and more importantly, as soon as the west of Yiyang is out, it is not far from Xiangyang City!

Think about it, if Huofeng occupies Yiyang, can Xiangyang City not be itchy when it is so close? Taking Xiangyang means great wealth, whether it is money, grain, grass or even ordnance, everything is available. In this way, no matter what the agreement reached between Huofeng and Xiao Xiaowen before, in the face of such a great temptation, it will inevitably be torn up.

"Huofeng is a thief, why should we contact them!" Sun Yu still can't accept it, no matter what, he is also educated by orthodoxy. It's also funny to say, I used to feel that my current actions were almost complicit, but the result was good, but now I am entangled in this, it is obvious that Sun Yu has not put his position right.

"Yes, everyone in the world knows that Huofeng is a thief who is a great rebel, but then what? At the beginning, the Queen Mother's heavy troops stationed in Qingzhou did not start a war with Yuzhou for half a minute, and the Queen Mother was still like this, so what are we afraid of, just be careful not to be known by outsiders. An Ge said patiently.

Sun Yu finally nodded, and accepted this statement, the so-called emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is not in a hurry, Gao Yuyao is not in a hurry, he doesn't care at all, let alone him, he just unites secretly, but it doesn't matter.

"Next, it's time to show favor to Tanzhou." Sun Yu asked as a matter of course, four forces in four directions, the first three had to deal with, and naturally there was only the last one left.

However, An Ge shook his head and said, "You must not show favor to Tanzhou." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Sun Yu was puzzled.

"Zhou Shaoyu is famous, he is in the middle of the people, he is in charge of several states, and he has tens of thousands of elite troops, what does Yulang think?" An Ge asked rhetorically.

Sun Yu didn't answer, the answer was actually obvious, and in the end, there was no other possibility except for self-reliance.

"Since we have decided to rely on the development of the Great Liang Dynasty first, we must no longer show goodwill with Zhou Shaoyu, this person will be a thorn in the eye of the court in the future, and it is better to keep a distance. And Zhou Shaoyu is still a Liang minister, unless we completely tear our faces, as long as we are still attached to the beam, we will never attack Jingzhou as Allah! ”

"I see, then, ignore it?"

"No! Tanzhou is not compared to others, the biggest difference is that it has a water division, although the 30,000 water divisions under its command are newly built, but they must not be underestimated, if they are ignored, they will become a great enemy in the future! It's ...... to be like this."

The capital city of Tanzhou.

“…… In this way, Sun Yu can ensure that Jiangxia is not lost! And the reason why it is attached to the girder is nothing more than because it can maintain autonomy to the greatest extent and gradually accumulate strength. Xin Xianying's analysis was reasonable, and she actually guessed Ange's plan.

"But the biggest variable is us." Xin Xianying smiled again: "How could An Ge know that the fire phoenix is actually on our side?" ”

Compared with An Ge, Huofeng's credibility is not much higher, you must know that now Yuzhou is actually in charge of the army, but it is Qin Liangyu! Even if Huofeng has the heart to regret regaining military power, it will not be an easy job, and the price is not small, not to mention that the northern state is waiting there.

On that day, Jiangxia sent 30,000 troops, but the handsome flag was the flag of the Zhennan General's Mansion, all the way west to Xiangyang, but stopped and stationed in the east of the Han River, and it was impossible to see whether it was to come to support Xiangyang, or to take advantage of the opportunity.

This sudden move not only made Sun Shouren, who was sitting in Xiangyang, uneasy, but also made Xiao Jiwen, who intended to attack Xiangyang, very annoyed. No one knows what Sun Yu is planning to do now.

However, the Ming plank road was dark, Sun Yu led the army outside, and it stands to reason that there was no other movement in Jiangxia, but the result was amazing, and the remaining 40,000 troops actually abandoned Jiangxia and ignored it, and poured out of the nest at night, and went down the river to connect the raids on Xiakou and Wuchang. At this point, Sun Shouren can say that there are basically only two territories left, Xiangyang and Jiangling, and as for other places, even if they are still under his control for the time being, there is actually no force to defend, and it is just an easy matter to change hands.

When this kind of thing happens, normally, Sun Yu and Sun Shouren can be said to have completely torn their faces, and this situation is beneficial to Xiao Yuwen, because they only need to deal with Sun Shouren.

But here the amazing operation happened, Sun Yu sent an envoy to Xiangyang, if the first time he sent someone to deliver a letter, it was to ask Sun Shouren to give a so-called reasonable explanation, then this time, the meaning could not be more straightforward, probably just to say, 'You are old, you can't do it, retreat and leave it to me'.

At the same time, Xiangyang City also left messages, besieged for a period of time, even if he was calm at the beginning, he was panicked at the moment, and the current situation, Xiangyang is almost equivalent to a lonely city, and it makes sense to defend a lonely city? But if Sun Yu is on the throne, it will be different, which means that Jingzhou is still that Jingzhou, and even more impulsive, even if Xiangyang is still lost, at least you can continue to run east, unlike now, a dead city, run there?

For a while, people's hearts were confused.

And in this case, Xiao Yu's wife is still not good to take action, Sun Yu's move means that she also wants to get involved in Xiangyang, and she also wants the position of general of Zhennan, so how can she watch her seize Xiangyang?

"Damn it!" Xiao Jiwen's temper has risen sharply during this time, and she has been calculated step by step, she can't advance, she can't retreat, this feels uncomfortable.

In Tanzhou City, Xin Xianying's face was also a little hot, and her analysis was reasonable, but she never thought that what happened next was still beyond her expectations. couldn't help but sigh lightly: "After all, I still underestimated An Ge's ambitions." It's just that, why didn't you do anything about my Tanzhou? ”

But no, now Sun Yu has written to the imperial court, in addition, he has also made contact with Huofeng, and even the first grain and grass trade has been sent to the road, but there is still no movement on the Tanzhou side.

This point also made Xin Xianying puzzled, but it is certain that there is definitely some strategy in it.

This made Xin Xianying regret it a little, and secretly decided that if she couldn't observe her with her own eyes in the future, she would never teach anyone the slightest. Judging from what is happening now, An Ge is obviously clumsy, and his wisdom is definitely far beyond his original performance.

After capturing Xiakou and Wuchang, the total number of troops under Sun Yu's command has exceeded 100,000, although more than half of them are composed of the original water bandits, but this number is scary enough.

This operation is also watching, Zhou Shaoyu was stunned for a while, and was so depressed, and said in his heart, how much energy has it taken for us to work hard to develop until now? Well, you have to count your own girls here. But look at Sun Yu again, how long has it been?

"Sure enough, the time and place are favorable." Zhou Shaoyu was amazed, if he changed the time, Sun Yu would never succeed, if he returned an identity, Sun Yu would not be able to develop so rapidly, if he returned to a location, well, where would he go to find a Yun Mengze in the world?

"But it's an eye-opener." Zhou Shaoyu said secretly. In the past, all aspects of knowledge and operation, although there were strategies in it, but there has never been such an intuitive, in a short period of time, a series of dazzling operations, just let a Sun family almost powerless figure rise quickly to become a small prince, it is really breathtaking.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really a little scary, An Ge's daughter was just a pawn secretly cultivated by Xiao Jiwen. And a woman in Qinglou, but seized the opportunity, abandoned the identity of Yuhang Oiran, and resolutely selected Sun Yu to enter Jingzhou......

"The situation that had been clear has become blurred. Next, how should Xiao Jiwen and Sun Shouren choose? Zhou Shaoyu thought so, and overall, he still put himself on a spectator.

Without him, Zhou Shaoyu is not interested in Jingzhou, as long as he occupies a convenient location, it can be Baling City or Youjiangkou, it doesn't matter. Of course, in terms of layout, I still hope that Xiao Jiwen can win, after all, she is still pointing to others and the beams to fight.

Based on this, if necessary, Zhou Shaoyu will choose to help Xiao Jiaoyu. There can be a-stirring stick, but if the plan is too bad, Zhou Shaoyu can't accept it. In short, we can wait and see.

But Zhou Shaoyu didn't expect that he was about to wait and see for a while, but a fire burned inexplicably!
